Chapter 604: Showdown
The so-called boiling frogs in warm water is just a method of Qin Shaoyou.
With his strength that was enough to make the court lose its power, the court would not easily turn against Henan Prefecture and had to maintain a situation of fighting without breaking. Under such circumstances, Qin Shaoyou would be tolerated unless he truly rebelled.
It is precisely because of this that His Highness, the King of Wei, has continuously consolidated his strength.
As for the imperial court, seeing that Qin Shaoyou's behavior was not "excessive", he had to turn a blind eye.
However, if this is the case, it may not work. For example, if there are people like Wei Hongmin in the court, they may not be able to tolerate it.
Now Wei Chengqing seems to be a little difficult to deal with. Since he is decisive, Qin Shaoyou... has to change his strategy.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly said: "What should a decisive person do if he wants to weaken this king for the Wei family?"
Shangguan Chen was silent for a moment: "This... is not accurate, but it's not surprising... Your Highness, for the Wei family, the troubles in his heart are not in Henan Prefecture, but in Xiao Wall."
The four words inside the Xiao Wall are a metaphor, which means that the real crisis of the Wei family is within the Wei family, and may even be in the Daming Palace.
Qin Shaoyou nodded, Shangguan Chen said it right, inside Xiao Wall, there is actually the Shanghuang in Chang'an Palace. ※︽ Long※︽ Feng※︽ Text※︽
The Emperor is in Chang'an, like a thorn in the Wei family's eyes and a thorn in the flesh. It is precisely because of the Emperor's existence that some anti-Wei people began to become popular. In addition, the Emperor has formed a divine army outside, so it should not be underestimated. If they are not careful, they may capsize.
The most terrifying thing about this woman is her appeal. After all, she is the emperor's biological mother. With enough appeal, it would be fine if the Wei family could control the situation. Once a problem arises, Wu Zetian will fall apart when she calls out.
Qin Shaoyou said without hesitation: "If Wei Chengqing was really trusted by Empress Wei, then the first thing he did was to deal with the Emperor. Since this person was decisive, he would never tolerate the sand of the Emperor, Brother Shangguan. The Emperor was afraid that the Emperor would be in trouble."
Qin Shaoyou was definitely not speculating. When Wu Zetian went to Chang'an, of course she had to take some risks. However, the reason why Wu Zetian still wanted to go was because she calculated that the Wei family was afraid of being afraid of being afraid to break the ball openly, so she took the risk.
This is actually a kind of boiling frogs to a certain extent. It does not give the Wei family a pleasure, but it presses step by step, causing trouble to them again and again, but it makes them unable to make a complete break. As a result, the Wei family members fell into a passive position everywhere.
But... Once a guy in the Wei family realizes the huge harm caused by this situation, will this situation continue?
Of course not, then the Wei family will inevitably start to take risks.
Shangguan Chen couldn't help but feel worried: "Now, the people in Chang'an have not found such signs, but His Highness is worried. It is not impossible. His Highness thinks that when we deal with it, whether to wait for change, or prepare in advance."
Qin Shaoyou smiled slightly and said, "Actually, if it really reaches this point, then... the time for a real showdown is probably coming. If Wei Chengqing is the second Wei Hongmin, then... he deserves to be happy. The emperor is a very smart person. Although she is alone in the palace, she is definitely not a person who can be slaughtered. At present... there is no need to contact her. The palace is extremely guarded against her and let people contact her, but it is not worth the loss. We are ours, and if she is alert, she will naturally have her countermeasures."
Shangguan Chen couldn't help but laugh and cry. By the way, Qin Shaoyou seemed to be very careful about Wu Zetian. A woman who entered the enemy camp alone, Qin Shaoyou actually said that there was no need to worry.
But... Shangguan Chen thought about it carefully and felt relieved. No matter whether it was the Emperor or the King of Wei, which one was a good-for-nothing lamp, they were not worried, they were worried about anything they were worried about.
But Qin Shaoyou said, "But... Next, Brother Shangguan needs to work hard and prepare to set off and go to Chang'an again."
He was going to Chang'an again... Shangguan Chen just changed his mind and realized that Qin Shaoyou seemed to be preparing to plan the overall situation. Next, something big should happen. He... he should be going to Chang'an to take charge and dispatch it in the middle. So he said without hesitation: "I will leave tomorrow, but I don't know what instructions does Your Highness have?"
Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment: "Everything is enough to judge the situation. After all, this place is too far from Chang'an. Any arrangement in advance will be difficult to predict what will happen next. So, after you arrive in Chang'an, everything will be in power."
All following power means that from now on, everyone's destiny is in the hands of Shangguan Chen.
Whether it is completely against the court, whether it continues to boil the frogs in warm water, or whether it takes any actions, is closely related to Shangguan Chen.
Shangguan Chen naturally knew what Qin Shaoyou meant. When he went to Chang'an, he completely represented Qin Shaoyou.
Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Chen was not nervous at all. His sister was in Chang'an after all, right next to the emperor. If something happened to the emperor, Shangguan Wan'er would have to lose her fragrance and damage her. This time she went... it was natural for public or private.
Shangguan Chen said without hesitation: "The lower official obeys the order."
This guy is rare to be serious.
On the contrary, Qin Shaoyou became more relaxed from his previous solemnity. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't go to Chang'an and have fun all night long. Young people always have to take care of their health. Look at you, your face is empty."
Shangguan Chen said aggrievedly: "If the lower official had not sacrificed this way, how could he serve His Highness?"
He still restored his shameless true nature.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile and exchanged greetings. Shangguan Chen wanted to prepare for tomorrow's journey, so he stood up and said goodbye. Before he left, Qin Shaoyou suddenly called him: "Shangguan Chen..."
Shangguan Chen turned around and was a little surprised. Qin Shaoyou called his full name.
Qin Shaoyou said: "Be careful."
Shangguan Chen chuckled twice, concealing his emotions, turned around and bowed deeply to Qin Shaoyou, and then hurried away.
