Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

Tao Yuwei didn't know yet that just because she went into the palace to eat melons, the incident of Concubine Gao broke out ahead of time.

At night.

Tao Yuwei was eating at home, but she didn't see her father.

She didn't care.

At this moment, the sky outside has become completely dark.

A low-key carriage drove out from the back door of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, quietly went along the alley next to it, and disappeared into the night.

Soon after.

In an inconspicuous courtyard in the south of the city.

A young man in a white brocade robe and with a face as pale as an immortal sat calmly in an armchair, holding a white teacup in his hand. He had an extraordinary temperament and waited quietly.

At this time, someone walked in from outside.

The moment the visitor saw the man, he stopped and looked at the white figure for a long time before saying, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still as young as ever. You are worthy of being praised by the world as the Young Master of the Stars. But I am already old."

The left prime minister Wang Lingchang walked up to the man and bowed.

Junshan King Xiao Long stood up calmly, holding Wang Lingchang's hand with both hands to salute, "It's been many years since we last met, and the teacher is still as determined as ever, so there's no need to be polite."

The two of them sat down together.

"Your Highness, in recent years, His Majesty has been arbitrary in the government, re-establishing the Xiao Yu Guard, appointing the grandson of the Duke of Zhuguo, Prince Yong, to arrest court officials, and illegally detaining and imprisoning them for long periods of time. If this continues, where will the court's laws be? Now, the Xiao Yu Guard has reached out to this old minister, and His Majesty has found a reason to behead my eldest son at the vegetable market. My wife couldn't bear the blow and is now bedridden."

After meeting his former student, Junshan Wang, Wang Lingchang angrily expressed his helplessness.

"If that Prince Xiao continues to investigate, I am afraid that he will know what happened back then. Now is the time, why not take this opportunity to dig out the treasure and use it to expand your power so that you can succeed."

"This prince and teacher will work together to purge the court of treacherous people, complete our great cause, and restore a prosperous Great Zhou with clear governance."

When Wang Lingchang heard the gentle voice of King Junshan, his anger subsided a little.

"Your Highness and I were unlucky back then. We had originally overthrown the Duke of Zhuguo and had successfully recommended our man to take over the position of general in front of the late emperor, but Prince Yong interrupted us with his unreasonable behavior, allowing the Fu family to take advantage of the opportunity and snatch the position of general."

Whenever Wang Lingchang mentioned what happened back then, he felt filled with regret and sigh.

Junshan King Xiao Long also had his memories brought back.

At the beginning, they were just a little bit away from gaining one-third of the military power of the Great Zhou, but one wrong step led to another and they lost the opportunity.

After the death of the previous emperor, he had to choose to temporarily avoid the limelight. According to the previous emperor's last wishes, he left the capital and went to Lingzhou in the northwest to take up his post.

Although Lingzhou was his fiefdom, the military power of the Northwest Army fell into the hands of his imperial nephew, Prince Yong.

His eldest nephew who sat on the throne seemed to care about family affection towards his royal relatives. During festivals, he would send people to his fiefdom to deliver gifts.

In reality, they were extremely narrow-minded and constantly suppressed and restricted the development of these princes. The fiefdoms of each of their princes had harsh environments and were small, making it difficult for them to grow and develop.

At present, each prince can only take care of himself and live on his own small piece of land.

Thinking of this, King Junshan had been dissatisfied with Emperor Jianchang in his heart for a long time.

Otherwise, after so many years, he wouldn't have been thinking about returning to the capital.

"At that time, the eldest nephew, who was the crown prince, went south to provide disaster relief, and the late emperor was seriously ill. It was a good time to take action, but that unruly second nephew ruined everything. What's the point of talking about this now?"

King Junshan also thought that it was his bad luck that led to the accident and caused him to miss the good time to ascend the throne.

When they talked about Prince Yong, they both felt that Prince Yong was also a rebellious eccentric when he was young.

"Since he was young, this second nephew has been unwilling to stay in the palace and doesn't like to study. He is a well-known bully in the palace. Anyone who offends him will be taught a lesson. The late emperor values ​​him even more."

"It's a pity that he was not good at studying and loved to get into trouble everywhere, so the late emperor threw him out of the palace and sent him to the royal garden to cultivate himself. When he came back, the late emperor ordered him to marry the daughter of the Duke of Zhuguo. My good brother really loves the second nephew the most and will leave the best for this son."

He had thought about marrying the eldest daughter of Duke Zhuguo in the past, but the late emperor got there first and granted the marriage to his youngest son.

Helplessly, he had to settle for the second best and ignored the age gap and deliberately approached Han Ruoxuan, the youngest daughter of Zhuguogong.

With his reputation as the Star-Picking Young Master and his good looks, there were few women in the capital who could not resist his attraction.

And Han Ruoxuan is one of these few people. The girl is so young, but she actually likes men who wield swords and guns. She doesn't like him at all.

Seeing this, he decided to take action, taking advantage of the late emperor's suspicion and making efforts to cut off Prince Yong's great help.

The Zhuguogong family collapsed.

He also failed to seize the military power of the 500,000-strong army in the northern border.

Today, the military power of Northern Xinjiang seems to be in the hands of that man named Feng, but in fact, the real controller is still firmly in the hands of the Tao family.

Tao Zhihong seemed to have resigned from the position of Grand Marshal of the Northern Frontier Army, but in his hand, he still held a military token of the camp outside the capital.

His son Tao Zipeng, at a young age, is already a major general in Northern Xinjiang. His nephew Wu Hanmo also serves as a general of cavalry in Northern Xinjiang. Although they are both young, their positions are not low, only below that of General Feng Tao.

In a few years, when Feng Tao retires, the military power will still fall into the hands of the Tao family.

The military command of the Northwest Army is in the hands of Prince Yong, who favors his concubine and kills his wife and has a slightly abnormal mind.

The military power of the Southwestern Army was in the hands of Tao Zhihong's father-in-law, Wu Daozhi.

After fighting for many years, the military power was still not in his hands, and King Junshan sometimes felt helpless.

"They were lucky in the past, but they may not be lucky now. Your Highness, this is what I found. Please take a look at it."

The left prime minister Wang Lingchang took out a yellowed wool map from his arms with an unexpected look.

King Junshan took it in his hand, and after looking at it carefully, he could not hide the surprise on his fair face.

"Teacher is really amazing. He actually found this thing. With it, we can do something big."

Holding the map in his hand, King Junshan exudes a blazing glow that makes it difficult to look away.

Good-looking people, whether men or women, will make you want to look at them again and again.

The same was true for Wang Lingchang. His eyes fell on King Junshan without blinking.

"But why is there a piece missing from this picture?"

After King Junshan was overjoyed, he was reluctant to put the map down. He looked at it again and again, only to find that this wool map was missing the most crucial part.
