Rebirth as Princess Jin again

His words softened for a moment.

"I have met His Highness King Jin!"

He was still thinking in his mind, what was the King of Jin doing in their capital if he was not fighting the enemy on the front line? Nowadays, their royal heirs have basically withered away, leaving only the sixth prince whose life and death are unknown. Why did he come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in this way?

"Your sixth prince from the Western Region fled to the border town and was chased by the regent's men. My king's concubine rescued him. This time, I am here to send the sixth prince to the imperial city!"

Situ Jin's words made Prime Minister Zhang raise his eyes instantly. His eyes scanned everyone, and finally stopped on the man behind him who was tightly wrapped in a cloak. He tentatively shouted:

"Six...sixth prince!"

The League of Gentlemen took off the curtain on his head and revealed his true appearance. Prime Minister Zhang looked at it carefully and was finally convinced that the person in front of him was the real deal.

"Old minister, see the Sixth Prince!"

The League of Gentlemen stepped forward to support Prime Minister Zhang who was about to kneel down: "Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite. My life was saved by Prime Minister. If Prime Minister hadn't sacrificed his life to send me out of the palace, I would be..."

Prime Minister Zhang raised his hands and said: "Sixth prince, please don't say that. The emperor was kind to the old minister. Now the regent is plotting to kill the emperor and resolutely leads troops to the border. This is to put thousands of people in the Western Regions in dire straits." "Although the emperor has passed away, as the prime minister of a country, how can I watch the Western Regions perish in front of my eyes?"

Situ Jin frowned: "Why does Prime Minister Zhang think this battle in the Western Region will be defeated?"

Prime Minister Zhang took a deep breath and said: "The Xia Zhao Kingdom is rich and powerful, and the people are strong, and there is a man like the prince who is like a god in military use. Although he has just fought against the Northern Liao Dynasty, the national strength has not weakened. However, the tribes in the Western Regions have been fighting for years. Now it is better." It is easy to stabilize and can no longer withstand any war. The regent's move is no different from that of Bei Liao. It will only give Xia Zhaoguo more excuses to send troops and end up with the same end as Bei Liao."

Situ Jin felt relieved. It seemed that not everyone in the Western Region was warlike. As long as there were people who supported the decision of the League of Gentlemen, his chances of winning this trip would increase.

"It seems that the Prime Minister is well aware of the current situation in the world. I and the princess accidentally rescued the sixth prince in Wushan that day. He turned to me for help, saying that the regent and Prince Duan both wanted to seize power, and General Xu Liangcheng also had the intention to seize power. The prime minister is the only one who truly cares about the country and the people. When I see you today, I am even more convinced that you, prime minister, have the heart to serve the country and the people. I am willing to help the prime minister eliminate other forces and help the six princes control The situation in the imperial city!"

Prime Minister Zhang was very happy. If they could get help from the people in front of them, they would be able to eradicate those forces in just a short time.

However, he also knew that no help in heaven was in vain. He asked carefully: "I wonder what the prince wants in return for helping us in the Western Regions?"

Situ Jin smiled slightly: "The current situation of the Western Region is before our eyes. It is just a fragmented land. What plans can I have for the Western Region?"

"It's just that your regent dared to collude with the city lord of Xia Zhao Kingdom, intending to disturb the borders of our country, and colluded with Zhou Wei to take the gold of Xia Zhao Kingdom for himself. I just want to get back the property that originally belonged to me, Xia Zhao Kingdom. "

"What's more, if the Western Region is really controlled by the regent, there will never be peace on the border of Xia Zhaoguo. I, like the Prime Minister, do not want to see the people on the border living in dire straits."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Zhang looked slightly embarrassed. At this moment, he finally understood Situ Jin's intention and hurriedly clasped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty's high opinion is the heart of a humble official. When the civil strife in our country is calmed down, we will definitely withdraw the border guards and never step into the territory of Xia Zhaoguo. We will live in peace with your country. We will end the war forever and have a good relationship for a hundred years!"

Situ Jin nodded.

"Prime Minister Zhang, among the major forces in the Western Regions, the strongest are Prince Duan and the Prince Regent. Although General Xu Liangcheng has military power, he is not a member of the royal family, so although his ambitions are great, he does not have the courage to openly To contend with the royal family, if you can convince General Xu Liangcheng to cooperate with us and get rid of King Duan together, Prime Minister Zhang should be able to do this small thing, right?"

Prime Minister Zhang's eyes lit up: "But we don't have the edict in hand, so how can we convince General Xu?"

Situ Jin looked at the League of Gentlemen: "Sixth Prince, you are so confident, you must have already known the whereabouts of the imperial edict?"

The League of Gentlemen nodded: "It's in the palace."

Prime Minister Zhang retorted: "It's impossible. The regent turned all the palaces upside down a few days ago and couldn't find even a piece of paper. How could the imperial edict be in the palace."

The League of Gentlemen said slowly: "That day when my father was about to die, the regent summoned us princes into my father's palace in order to prevent people from suspecting that he had killed my father. At that time, my father had already said no. The words are spoken with only the last breath left.”

"But when I entered, I saw that my father's eyes were always on a pot of snowdrops in the house. My father loved snowdrops, but snowdrops could not survive without the snowy mountains, so my father specially built a flower house. I take care of it myself in my spare time, so I guess the edict must be hidden in the flower room."

Prime Minister Zhang's eyes lit up. Indeed, the regent had checked all the palaces in the palace, but he did not go to the flower room.

"If we can get the posthumous edict, the sixth prince will appear in the court tomorrow morning and directly use the edict to ascend the throne. If King Duan is in the palace at this time without any guards around him, he will be killed directly in the palace at that time. Then the six princes will The prince will be able to successfully ascend the throne."

"Even if the regent comes back by then, I'm afraid it will be too late! But after killing Prince Duan, there is still General Xu in the court. How should we deal with it?"

Situ Jin said calmly: "I have ordered the regent to return to the court. If he does not accept the order, let General Xu go to the border to deliver the order in person. At that time, my people will sneak into General Xu's army and assassinate the regent. As long as he Once the regent dies, those soldiers will naturally surrender without a leader.”

"As for General Xu, if he is a person who understands current affairs, he will definitely put down his ambition and submit to the Sixth Prince under this situation. But if he doesn't obey, I have many ways to kill him!"

Prime Minister Zhang thought about it carefully. There was no prince in the court to succeed him, so General Xu had the intention of proclaiming himself king. But if the sixth prince appeared at this moment, he would not dare to make a mistake. After all, even if he was allowed to stand on his own as a martial artist, Even as a king, he couldn't defeat those civil servants.

As long as the two cancerous tumors of Prince Duan and Prince Regent are removed, Xu Liangcheng will naturally be able to slowly seize power when his position as emperor is stable.

Situ Jin continued his analysis:

"If General Xu is unwilling to cooperate with us, then you can tell him that we don't mind getting rid of him first. Then his military power will naturally fall into the hands of the Sixth Prince. But once the Sixth Prince ascends the throne, what will happen when the time comes? After the success is achieved, will General Xu’s nine tribes still want to be together?”
