Martial Arts From Bandits

  Chapter 468 My lord, times have changed

   "Brother Zhang, what are you thinking?" Looking at the pensive Zhang Jing, Li Xian asked softly.

   While chatting, Zhang Jing suddenly lost his mind, which made Li Xian a little surprised.

   It was the first time he saw Zhang Jing like this.

   Zhang Jing smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how to defeat those princes."

  Of course he wouldn't say that he was thinking about how to control him, and then control Dong Qi.

  Li Xian chuckled, raised his glass and drank it down.

   "By the way, does Your Majesty have any objections to the prince recently?" Zhang Jing asked suddenly.

  The reason why he came to Li Xian and decided to support him.

   It was because of the words Li Ye asked him that Zhang Jing understood that Li Ye seemed to have some intentions to abolish the prince.

   "It does seem to be the case. During the court meeting a few days ago, the fourth child was the one who presided over it." Li Xian also looked serious when he saw that Zhang Jing mentioned something serious.

   After all, this is a major matter related to whether he can ascend the throne.

   Zhang Jing frowned, and some information appeared in her mind.

  In the past, Prince Li Zhan was the strongest, followed by Third Prince Li Yu, and Fourth Prince Li Sheng.

   As for the second prince, Li Xian, he is the weakest among the four princes.

  The fourth prince is ranked second to last, and his strength is not considered strong.

   "I remember that the third prince was second only to the prince in strength before? Why did the fourth prince preside over the court meeting?" Zhang Jing asked a little puzzled.

   "According to what I got, it's because Master Wei Liwei of Zhenwu Division and Master Zhao Yutang Zhao once said in private that the fourth child is a virtuous lord," Li Xian said truthfully.

  The reason why he defiled himself before and put away his thoughts of coveting the throne is because the situation of seizing the throne has reached a fever pitch.

   With the support of Wei Li and others, the fourth prince overwhelmed the third prince in an instant.

  As for why the prince was suddenly disliked by the emperor, he did not get accurate information, and no information was leaked from the palace.

   "It seems that those two guys have already bet on the fourth prince," Zhang Jing narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

  He and Wei Li are at odds with each other. If the fourth prince is allowed to ascend the throne, there is no guarantee that he will not be suppressed by Wei Li and others.

   "Your Highness, don't worry, the Fourth Prince has the support of Wei Li and Zhao Yutang, and His Highness also has me and Mr. Han on his side. When it comes to the support of the Zhenwu Division, we are even more supportive," Zhang Jing said slowly.

  Although Han Qianshu has not been notified yet, both Wei Li and Zhao Yutang went off to support the prince.

  Han Qianshu is naturally not pedantic, so naturally he has to fight.

   "Naturally, naturally," Li Xian suddenly smiled.

  Although he had already thought that Han Qianshu would support him for Zhang Jing's sake, he was still not sure.

   Zhang Jing's direct statement this time gave him a reassurance.

   Now, he also has the strength to compete for the position!

  Hard power has come up, and in terms of soft power, Li Xian thinks he won't lose to those brothers.

   You know, even before that, he had a lot of strength in his hands, and even reached into the palace.

  In terms of ability, Li Xian felt that he was much stronger than those brothers.

   It’s just a matter of poor background.

   Now that Zhang Jing has the confidence, he will soon be able to pull up a strength not inferior to that of the fourth child.

  Who wins and who loses is yet to be known.

   "Who is supporting the third prince?" There are only a few who are capable of competing for the throne right now.

  The crown prince is about to be out of the game if there is no accident.

  The only ones left are the third prince and the fourth prince.

   Zhang Jing certainly needs to know some information, and what he got from Li Xian is the most accurate.

  In the past, he had no intention of intervening in the matter of seizing the heir, because the return was too slow, and he couldn't wait.

   And now it is obviously short-term gain, so he naturally needs to pay more attention.

   "The third one...it should be supported by high-level military officials," Li Xian was obviously a little uncertain.

   "Military?" Zhang Jing frowned.

   "The mother of the third child comes from a family in the military."

   "The forces under General Xue?"

   "It's the Baisheng Army defending Shangjing." Li Xian said softly.

   Zhang Jing nodded, as long as he is not Xue Ning's subordinate.

  General Xue Ning has heard a few reviews about Zhang Jing, and he is extremely defensive.

  If he intervenes in the end, then there is no need to play, just give up.

  However, Heavenly Man Almighty will not stop supporting any prince.

   This is an unspoken rule of Dongqi for thousands of years.

   There is no need to worry about the status of the Almighty of Heaven and Man, no matter who is in the position, it will not harm their interests.

  And if they are allowed to intervene in the battle for the crown prince, it is not certain whether Dongqi will ultimately have the final say on whether the Li family has the final say.

  The Li family has always paid close attention to this aspect, and those celestial beings who are capable and sensible never care about this aspect.

   This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Jing decides to take a gamble when he ends up playing.

  Grandmaster Jindan is the biggest boost on the card.

   And Zhang Jing is confident that with his strength, he is not afraid of anyone.

  The Baisheng Army is one of several armies defending the capital.

  The strength is not weak, but for the current Zhang Jing, it is nothing.

   It's no wonder that the fourth prince suppressed the third prince.

   Zhen Wusi's support is too strong, and the Baisheng Army is not an opponent at all.

  Afterwards, Zhang Jing chatted with Li Xian about the situation in Beijing.

   And their small gang, the next thing to win over.

  There are more than Zhenwusi and the military in Shangjing.

   There is also the Li family and many nobles from the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

   Although their influence is not as good as before, especially under the premise that Zhen Wusi is getting stronger and stronger.

  However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so it is still very powerful.

  In the past, most of the nobles and members of the royal family supported the prince.

  Because the crown prince is the crown prince, he is most likely to be in the top position, and they know which side to choose with their buttocks.

   But it is different now, the news of the prince's loss of power has begun to spread.

   They, following the wind, also began to look for a new home.

  The fourth prince and the third prince have now started to dig the foundation of the prince.

  Although Li Xian is a step slower now, it is not without chance.

   With the support of Zhang Jing as the basic disk, Li Xian can still get some support.

  But what Zhang Jing wants is obviously not some soup.

  He is now discussing with Li Xian who to win over.

   It's time to find those guys as stepping stones.

  Zhang Jing and Li Xian discussed for a long time, and the next action has been roughly discussed.

  First, privately release some news about Zhang Jing’s support for Li Xian to test it out.

   Let's see how those nobles react, and then continue with the next action.

  The private banquet was a complete success, Zhang Jing and Li Xian both got what they wanted.

   Li Xian received more on the surface. After all, he was already desperate, and then he suddenly got support.

  It is equivalent to rain after a long drought.

  And Zhang Jing actually got more, because he lost the bet and suffered losses as severe as Li Xian.

   Li Xian will die if he loses, and he will be hurt at most if he loses.

  Because the fourth prince has the support of Wei Li and others.

   Otherwise, Zhang Jing would lose some face at most.

   Now that the fourth prince is in power, he will definitely do his best to repay Wei Li to become the next governor.

  In this case, Zhang Jing will be greatly constrained in the future.

   But Zhang Jing was not too worried.

  As long as there is no bottleneck when breaking through the realm of heaven and man.

  Zhang Jing can fully rely on hard power to jump out.

   But, who can say this thing is accurate?

  It is too difficult to transform from a golden core to a celestial being.

  Zhang Jing is not completely sure of success.

   Throughout the ages, this level has blocked many heroes.

   Zhang Jing is at most a little bit more likely than others.

  ………

   When Zhang Jing left, Li Xian sent him outside the gate.

  The two of them did not exchange pleasantries, nor did they have anything to say.

  Seeing Zhang Jing's figure disappear into the night, Li Xian suddenly turned around and grabbed Du Yu's shoulder.

   "Your Highness," Du Yu exclaimed, but for a moment he didn't realize what kind of monster Li Xian was playing.

   Li Xian shook his head, "It's okay."

  He just couldn't believe what happened tonight.

  A prince who was already desperate and only wanted to protect himself, had another chance to compete for that seat after tonight.

  Even if Li Xian had some capital, he felt a little unbelievable for a while.

   Zhang Jing's sudden support directly made Li Xian feel that he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.

   "Your Highness, our chance has really come!"

  Du Yu's eyes were a little red, which was caused by excitement.

  He hasn't lost yet.

  With Zhang Jing's support, the possibility of the Second Prince's succession has been greatly increased.

  And he will rise with the tide and become a member of the imperial court.

   "Yes, here we come!" Li Xian's eyes were burning, and there was a light shining inside, looking in one direction.

That is,

   Palace!

  ………

  The next day,

  Zhang Jing went to visit Han Qianshu early in the morning and told him that he was planning to support Li Xian's ascension.

  This matter is also indispensable to Han Qianshu's support, otherwise, relying on his own power alone, he really can't overwhelm the two veteran commanders Wei Li and Zhao Yutang.

   Zhang Jing's current power is indeed very high. After destroying several Jindan forces, he is no less than the four commanders.

  Even compared to Situ Qi, Zhao Yutang and the others are even better.

   After all, in the Jianghu, strength is still the most respected, and it is no exception in Zhenwusi.

   Destroying several Golden Core forces in a row, and killing several veteran Golden Core powerhouses, brought Zhang Jing not only enemies and resources.

   And huge fame.

  However, after all, he has risen for a short time, and his background is still not as deep as Wei Li and Han Qianshu.

   Therefore, Zhang Jing must pull Han Qianshu to support Li Xian with him.

   Use this to deal with Wei Li and Zhao Yutang.

   "Why did you choose the second prince?" Han Qianshu asked after hearing what Zhang Jing had said.

   "I have been in contact with him for the longest time, and I can trust him. Moreover, supporting the second prince is a timely gift, and the words of the third prince can only be icing on the cake."

   "Not to mention the fourth prince, with the support of Wei Li and Zhao Yutang, he will not accept my kindness."

   "My lord, times have changed."

   "Zhao Yutang and Wei Li have already left the field to support, should we just do it and watch?"
