My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 457: Former Crown Prince

Wei Taiwei's words sounded quite reasonable to Wei Mingxian's ears, but the fourth prince felt that he was trying to push the envelope. However, due to human feelings, he still had to pretend that he understood.

"What the Lieutenant said is true, but the opportunity is once in a lifetime. If we can take control of the imperial city first and capture the prince, queen, and Guo Xiang and others, wouldn't we also be able to control the Tiger Army? We will give it up when the time comes. If my father’s inheritance is with me, won’t everything fall into place?”

Hearing the fourth prince's words, Taiwei Wei's eyes suddenly turned disappointed.

Choosing the fourth prince was a helpless move, and he was indeed as helpless as he had guessed. He was as simple-minded as a noble concubine in the palace. Do you really think that the so-called "edict" would be useful?

Under the power, let alone an imperial edict, even a divine punishment is nothing more than a punishment.

So the balance in my heart was even more biased towards the other person, but his plan was not known to outsiders, so at this moment I could only speak perfunctorily to the fourth prince.

"Well, what His Highness said makes sense. In this way, give me ten days. When I have made all the arrangements, I will tell the Fourth Prince that we will do what you said. How about that?"

At this point, the eyes of the fourth prince were filled with blazing fire, as if the throne was very close at hand.

Then he said sincerely to Captain Wei.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant, when this prince is crowned the great treasure, you will definitely be the number one person in the court!"

The words were tempting, but it was a pity that Wei Taiwei had already been biased in his heart, so it was useless no matter how big the cake he made.

The fourth prince was still a little nervous when he came, but now he was in high spirits when he left. After leaving the Taiwei's Mansion, he did not go back directly to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Instead, he went to Baosheng Tower to bring Wei Jialian her favorite soft cheese mud cake. The deputy seems to love his wife very much.

But while he was still thinking proudly about the future, on the other side, he met another person in the Taiwei's mansion.

"The Lieutenant asked me to come here today, but have you figured it out?"

After hearing this, Lieutenant Wei, who had just expressed his displeasure in front of the Fourth Prince, bowed and saluted Fu Yanhui.

"Walking around the tree three times, there is no branch to rely on. Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince for never giving up, I am willing to devote all my family's efforts to help the Crown Prince regain his kingdom!"

Seeing this, Fu Yanhui's always gloomy eyes calmed down a little, and then he gave him a weak hand and said.

"The Taiwei really has foresight. Now is a great opportunity. With the Fourth Prince acting as bait, let's ask the Guo family to fight with him. I want to see what the descendants of the founder of my world are capable of. !”

The strength of his aura was not comparable to that of the Fourth Prince.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to control a character like Kuang Yujun, so it is conceivable that he still has countless abilities that he has not yet used.

Now that he has gained the power of Captain Wei, it means that he has another strong general on his way to regaining his country.

And Taiwei Wei also knew that he, the Guo family, and the Gu family were in a fight to the death. Instead of pushing an ineffective fourth prince to fight with the prince opposite, it was better to start anew.

The world is changing rapidly, who knows what will happen in the next second?

After leaving the Taiwei Mansion, Fu Yanhui returned to his own home.

From the outside, it is just an inconspicuous two-entry courtyard, but the surrounding area has long been secretly bought by his people, and hidden inside are the ministers of the restoration of the country who entered Sui'an City with him this time. .

Speaking of which, Kuang Yujun was just an eye in Jinling City for them. After losing him and the power in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Fu Yanhui naturally suffered some injuries.

But as long as the base camp here is here, he can still make a comeback.

Therefore, the extensive raids and inquisition carried out by Guo Xiang and the Crown Prince in Sui'an City during these days did not have any substantial impact on him.

Instead, he took the opportunity to capture some of the already wavering ministers, so he gained a lot more strength.

After entering the courtyard, they entered the secret room underground.

And here, there were already powerful advisers and generals who had been waiting for a long time, and the most surprising one among them was naturally the Minister of Zuo of Jin Dynasty.

"I have met the prince."

"Your Majesty, no courtesy."

He was originally from the previous dynasty, and he had managed the position of minister in the dynasty for so many years. He also had Fu Yanhui's support and help behind him. His apparent affiliation with the four princes also gave him more leverage when wooing the courtiers. What a fitting excuse.

Therefore, over the past few decades, those who were truly capable and could be reused had long been instigated by him to become the forces of the previous dynasty. Those left to the fourth prince were nothing more than thunder and rain, so Guo Xiang and the prince also targeted those People are constantly suppressing them, giving people like them enough room for real growth.

Of the ten people standing here today, except for four who were brought over from Shuzhou by Fu Yanhui, the others were developed by the Minister of Zuo of Jin in Sui'an City. They are officials, generals, and naturally people from the palace.

Fu Yanhui looked at them, his face still gloomy as before, without any big fluctuations.

"Lieutenant Wei has made it clear that he is on the same side as us, so Minister Zuo, take action when it's time to do it. Remember to make the scene bigger, because I want the entire Sui'an City to be in chaos!"

"Yes, Prince, don't worry, I will live up to everyone's expectations!"

Hearing this, Fu Yanhui said "Yes", his tone was so calm, compared to the fourth prince, it was like heaven and earth.

In the secret room, everyone was doing what they should do in an orderly manner, while Fu Yanhui went to another place.

In the dark cell, a man was tortured in many ways and lay motionless on the ground. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling, he would have been thought dead.

"Splash water on him to wake him up."

"Yes."

Hearing Fu Yanhui's order, the guard picked up the bucket beside him and scooped a ladle of water. There was some wine in it. The man on the ground grimaced in pain as soon as it touched his body. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes to look at the light source.

This man was Liu Xun who had tracked north before.

The people of the Seventh House were stupid, but it didn't mean that Fu Yanhui's people were stupid.

So the Seventh House secret guards who didn't find Liu Xun's trace along the way would have died a long time ago, and if Liu Xun wasn't because of his identity in the Tiger Guards, I'm afraid he would have been a ghost underground.

Now he is still alive, that means Fu Yanhui wants to use him to make a fuss. After all, Gu Shaoyu is well-known for loving his soldiers like his own sons. He lost his deputy general Luo Yuan, but he still went to great lengths to make Kuang Yujun suffer like that. It is easy to imagine that in order to rescue Liu Xun in his hands, Gu Shaoyu must be flexible.

Unfortunately, after Liu Xun took a look at the person who came, he didn't say a word, and looked like he could kill or chop him casually, which made Fu Yanhui think highly of him.

"If you were not from the Tiger Guards, I would have wanted to turn you against me, but it's a pity." (End of this chapter)
