Song Qingshu replied, "To prevent any unforeseen events, we have to act early."
"What do you mean early?" Wanyan Liang's heart skipped a beat.
Song Qingshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He finally had a chance to make use of him. "Ever since I joined Your Highness's side, I haven't made any contributions. Now, I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone. I hope it can help Your Highness."
Wanyan Liang's expression changed. He hurriedly said, "Brother Tang Kuo, please speak." Wanyan Liang didn't doubt Tang Kuo's motives. He had many talented people around him. If Tang Kuo Bian didn't make any contributions, he wouldn't believe him even if he promised him the position of Minister of State. Therefore, the most direct way for Tang Kuo Bian to think of was to make contributions.
"The Emperor and Changsheng Wang Erhu are fighting. Only when the Emperor wins in the end will it be beneficial to Wangye. Otherwise, if Changsheng Wang wins, I'm afraid that Wangye will be suppressed by him in the future."
Wanyan Liang nodded at Song Qingshu's words. "That makes sense. Go on."
"But the Emperor's body is getting weaker by the day. No one knows when he will run out of oil. That's why we have to get rid of Changsheng Wang while the Emperor's body is still strong enough. That way, none of the remaining Princes will have a higher chance of succession than you. Your Highness will be able to win over the support of the courtiers with your own abilities." Song Qingshu secretly admired himself. Over the years, he had risked his life for so many times that his ability to bluff people had improved by leaps and bounds.
Wanyan Liang looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect Tang Kuo Bian to be so knowledgeable despite his boorish appearance. His analysis was right. This was exactly what he wanted to see. Once Wei Wang and Changsheng Wang, the two rightful heirs to the throne, were gone, all that would be left would be competition. Everyone would have to rely on their own abilities. He believed that with his intelligence and the power he had built up over the years, he could definitely stand out.
"But how can I get rid of Changsheng Wang?" Wanyan Liang was secretly alarmed. After all, Changsheng Wang was also very powerful. He didn't want to recklessly fight with him.
"Kill with a borrowed knife," Song Qingshu said in a deep voice.
"Whose blade should I borrow?" Wan Yanliang's expression changed. As long as he didn't need to deal with Changsheng King directly, there would be no problem.
"His Majesty's saber." Song Qingshu replied word by word.
"How?" Wan Yanliang suddenly had a thought. "Could it be that he's using Tao Yao?"
Song Qingshu shook his head, "It's been so many years, but His Majesty hasn't made a move against Tao Yao. This proves that a single woman is not enough to make him make up his mind."
"What do you mean, Brother Tang Kuo?" Wan Yanliang's interest was piqued.
"Your Highness should know about the incident with King Wei, right?" Song Qingshu asked.
"I know." Wan Yanliang hesitated for a moment. "I feel that there's something fishy about his death."
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "If Wangye has this kind of suspicion, then as a father, wouldn't His Majesty be even more suspicious?"
Wan Yanliang had already vaguely guessed his plan. "You mean to make use of this incident?"
"That's right!" Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "His Majesty has already sent the Laundry Brothel to investigate this matter. As long as we use this opportunity to push the blame onto Changsheng Wang, then Changsheng Wang will be finished."
"But the Laundry Brothel is like an iron plate and only listens to His Majesty's orders. It's not good for us to interfere." Wan Yanliang's thoughts spun and he quickly realized the crux of the matter.
"Your Highness, didn't I say before that this plan is called killing two birds with one stone?" Song Qingshu smiled confidently, "The first bird is Changsheng Wang, the second is this Laundry Brothel!"
"Laundry Brothel?" Wan Yanliang was shocked.
"That's right." Song Qingshu looked at him closely, "This organization is equivalent to His Majesty's two eyes. They keep an eye on everything that happens in the capital at all times. With their existence, Wangye will be restricted no matter what you do."
Wan Yanliang nodded slightly. These past few years, the Laundry Brothel had been a great deterrent to everyone and only listened to the Emperor. He had long wanted to get rid of them, but he had never had the chance.
"You have a way to deal with the Laundry Brothel?" Wan Yanliang was a bit doubtful. After all, the Laundry Brothel was a spy organization and was deeply trusted by the Emperor. It had a lot of resources at its disposal. Getting rid of the Laundry Brothel wouldn't be an easy task.
"Of course I have a way!" Song Qingshu smiled, "Why does Your Highness think the Laundry Brothel is so powerful?"
"This …" Wan Yanliang was speechless. There were too many factors in his mind.
"At the end of the day, it's because of the Emperor's trust that they are so powerful." Song Qingshu had transmigrated from the future, so he had a sharp eye for problems, "So it's very simple to get rid of the Laundry Brothel. As long as His Majesty no longer trusts them, they'll turn from wolves to sheep."
"Oh? Brother Tang Kuo, quickly explain to this prince. " Wan Yanliang wrapped his arm around Song Qingshu's shoulder, his tone extremely intimate. Before, Wan Yanliang had only gotten close to Tang Kuo Bian because of his wife's beauty, but now, he was treating Tang Kuo Bian as a true partner.
Song Qingshu wasn't used to being hugged like this, but he knew that this was the other party's way of winning him over, so he let him be. "Other than being the Emperor's spy organization, the Laundry Brothel is also responsible for detaining a group of special prisoners. Your Highness and I met one of them last time at Autumn Fragrance Brothel."
Wan Yanliang's heart jumped, "You mean those Song Dynasty princesses?"
"That's right. According to what I know, the emperor places a lot of importance on this group of special captives. If these captives were to be lost by the laundry yard, how do you think the emperor would react?" Song QingShu asked in response.
Wan Yanliang had always been a quick-witted person, and after being reminded, he suddenly understood, "His Majesty will definitely have doubts about the Laundry Brothel's ability, and with his irritable temper, I'm afraid that none of the higher-ups in the Laundry Brothel will have a good ending. If that happens, this prince will have a chance to win them over. Haha, Brother Tang Kuo, you really are this prince's reincarnation, Zhang Liang!"
"Your Highness flatters me." Although Song Qingshu was smiling, he was secretly on guard. This Wan Yanliang was able to draw inferences so quickly, he was indeed a genius. If in the future, he really managed to gain control of the Laundry Brothel, then there would be a lot of trouble …
But right now, Song Qingshu had no other choice. The Laundry Brothel had already begun to investigate what happened that night, and Empress Pei Man and the Zhao sisters could be in danger at any time. Alas, even though he knew that it was like drinking poison to quench his thirst, he could only focus on the crisis at hand.
Wan Yanliang became more and more excited, as if talking to himself, he said, "This prince can find someone to transfer away the experts of the Laundry Brothel, then take the opportunity to send Ouyang Feng and the others to break into the Laundry Brothel and rescue the princesses. Afterwards, Xizong will investigate this matter, and I will purposely leave behind clues that point to Changsheng Wang, pretending to be Changsheng Wang. I am worried that the Laundry Brothel will find out the truth, so I will make the first move … Haha, this is a brilliant plan, brilliant!"
"What is Your Highness talking about? Why are you so happy?" The two chatted in the pavilion for a long time, and the sky gradually brightened. Tu Danjing, who was in her room, had also woken up.
Tu Danjing had been feeling uneasy because of last night's events, but when she came out, she saw that her husband and Tang Kuo were affectionately hugging each other's shoulders. For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know what to say. In order to cover up her guilty conscience, she could only pretend that nothing had happened and casually say something.
"Yes, what are my husband and Your Highness talking about?" At the same time, Ge Bi walked out of the room. Naturally, she had taken advantage of Wan Yanliang's departure to run into the room through the secret passage to replace the fake Ge Bi in the room.
"This prince and Brother Tang Kuo are talking about some happy things, haha." Wan Yanliang turned to look at Tu Danjing, and found that his wife's complexion was especially good today. Usually, because she had been chanting scriptures in the temple for a long time without sunlight, her cheeks were slightly pale, but today, they were especially rosy.
Last night, Tang Kuo Bian must have nourished her countless times … Wan Yanliang couldn't help but think sourly.
At this time, Ge Bi also came out. In order to dispel the sourness in his heart, Wan Yanliang hurriedly looked at his' spoils of war '. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but when he saw that Ge Bi was more beautiful than usual today, he couldn't help but feel proud. Hmph, last night, this prince shot essence into her body a total of seven times. After being nourished by this prince, the effect is indeed extraordinary.
Noticing his naked gaze, Ge Bi felt a wave of disgust in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. She hurriedly walked to Song Qingshu's side and deliberately said coquettishly, "My husband, why are all of you up so early?"
Hearing her words, the expressions of the people in the room were all very interesting.
Wan Yanliang laughed mischievously in his heart. Little girl, the husband who was riding on top of you last night was this prince.
Tu Danjing also looked at her with pity. "Sigh, Ge Bi still doesn't know what happened last night, but isn't ignorance also a kind of blessing? If I had to choose, I would rather be like her and be kept in the dark forever." Tu Danjing looked at Tu Danjing with pity.
Song Qingshu clearly saw the pride on Wan Yanliang's face and the contradiction on Tu Danjing's face. He couldn't help but sigh. They thought that Ge Bi was a fool who was kept in the dark, but in the end, the most proud Wan Yanliang was the dumbest one. Tu Danjing at least knew half of the truth, but Wan Yanliang didn't know anything …
Song Qingshu put his arm around Ge Bi's slender waist and said with a smile, "I have some things to discuss with the prince, so I woke up early. Did I disturb you?"
"No, you guys are so far away, how could you disturb me if you talk? How about this, you guys talk first, I'll go tell the servants to prepare breakfast. " Ge Bi was worried that if she stayed in front of Wan Yanliang for too long, she wouldn't be able to control her anger, so she took the opportunity to leave, only leaving behind a sweet smile.
