Everyone stayed in Jiangning for only one night. Listening to the sad things, they ate a meal of unpleasant wine, bought some food supplies, and then boarded the boat and headed straight to Suzhou.

Xu Jie wanted to kill someone sharpened his knife. The person he wanted to kill was naturally Wang Wei. If he attacked Wang Wei, he would definitely succeed in one blow, and Wang Wei would not have the chance to escape.

Xu Jie is obviously not the one who is so broad-minded that he can eliminate his grudges with a smile. He will wait for today until he dies.

This big ship from Dajiang County to Jiangning was Xu Jie's comprehensive plan. He didn't move for so long, just waiting for Yang Ershu to finish the sword competition. However, the result of Yang Ershu's sword competition was beyond Xu Jie's expectations. This result was not something Xu Jie could accept. Things are impermanent and things are not going as they wish.

The Yangtze River Waterway goes east further to connect to Taihu Lake and go straight to Suzhou.

The palace of King Xia Han of Wu was in a relatively prosperous place in Suzhou City. Suzhou was called Gusu in ancient times, and was named after Gusu Mountain. There is a poem that says: Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bells came to the passenger ship in the middle of the night. This is the meaning of Gusu. It was only when it was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties that it was known as Suzhou.

The royal palace is not small, but it is not the largest mansion in Suzhou City. It is also a way for the dynasty to be secure. If the adult princes are enfeoffed, there will be less competition in the capital of the center of power. When the princes are enfeoffed in ancient times, they would be like a family to separate their families, which is to truly separate the land and rights.

Now, the vassal state is actually a disguised house arrest. The vassal state princes have no local jurisdiction and cannot even take a step out of the fiefdom privately, otherwise it will be a serious crime. In this way, the issue of the change of imperial power will be smoother, with fewer variables and avoiding internal friction in the country.

However, Xia Han, the king of Wu, obviously had many ideas about the Nine Cauldrons, which was caused by the old emperor Xia Qian's hesitation. He did not establish a crown prince for a long time, and he didn't know whether Xia Qian looked down on his son or Xia Qian had other ideas.

Today, everyone knows that Emperor Xia Qian is in extremely poor health and has not had a good cough for a long time. He did not attend court at the end of last year or even two or three months. Although he occasionally attends court several times this year, he often ignores the government and just goes through a formality, and even coughs in the court.

It is known to everyone in the world that the old emperor will not be able to live long.

As the eldest son of Wu, King Xia Han of Wu, has long become an ant on a hot pan in this Suzhou city. He gets up early every day and waits for letters. Before going to bed, he reads letters and returns letters. The letters come and go, covering the country and across the country, and Bianjing is the most common.

Even when reading letters, Xia Han was restless. An old eunuch who served him, named Wang En, had been serving him since Xia Han was born and had been following him until now, and he was his confidant.

Xia Han's face became even more ugly. He suddenly threw a letter directly on the ground, and even reached out to wave it on the table. The ground was immediately in a mess, and he said angrily: "It's unreasonable. These old dogs are as cunning as foxes. The king's generous gifts are exchanged for these reply letters. How many days can the father live? They are still looking forward to it, waiting for the king to ascend the great treasure and kill them all."

Wang En bowed and stood aside, and quickly leaned over to clean up the messy ground. Wang En could understand the words of the master. He had recently gone from the royal palace to Bianjing, and the reply he received obviously did not satisfy his master.

"The prince, everyone in the world thinks that the way to protect themselves. To get the status of the officials of the court is mostly to seek stability. Even if they cannot be in power, they still seek to enjoy their old age. Nowadays, most of these old people think so. If they want to accomplish great things, they have to win over those young people, whether they are the backwards of the three provinces and six ministries or young military generals in the army. These people want to rise up step by step and win over them, and their use will definitely be more useful than those old ministers and ministers." Although the old eunuch Wang En did not read many poems, he was used to the affairs of the court, and the words he said naturally had some truth.

Xia Han frowned and walked out of the desk. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Dajia, is it still too late? In the past, I never took those officials below the third rank and below, but now I am temporarily trying to win over them, so I am afraid it will be too late."

Obviously, Xia Han did not have a long-term plan, and there was no real counsel around him. Many things were helpless when they were at this time. As long as people in high positions in the court were not interested in their personal interests, no one would easily participate in the battle for the throne. This is really a way to protect themselves. Xia Han did not seem to have real help for those who had personal interests.

After hearing this, Wang En thought for a moment and replied: "Prince, take this matter as a matter. No matter whether it is too late or not, it will be done. There is also a shortcut, which is to operate Qin Xiang, the chief manager of Suzhou military commander, and transfer him to the Beijing camp to serve. This is so precautionary."

Wang En really came up with a good plan. Qin Xiang has always been in charge of the imperial guards in Suzhou. Although the general manager of Suzhou's military and horse capital was not considered a general, he also guarded a place. The main reason was Qin Xiang's military generals, and he was also responsible for guarding the safety of the King of Wu's Mansion. If Xia Han could not even win over Qin Xiang, how could he go out to Suzhou to Dajiang County privately?

The transfer of Qin Xiang to the imperial guards in the capital was obviously just a middle-level officer, but when the middle-level officer was about to come, he might be really useful.

Xia Han understood this festival and quickly replied: "That's the most important thing. Those old dogs have received such a generous gift from me. This should be done by me."

At this time, a servant bent down outside the door, with a letter in his hand, not saying anything, just waiting.

Wang En hurried to the door to receive a letter and sent the person who returned the letter. Xia Han opened the letter and looked at it, his face pale, and said, "It's outrageous. My father is really old and confused. What kind of virtue is the second child? He can just write some poems. He has been timid since he was a child, but he actually came to the capital with an order at this time. It's outrageous!"

Wang En was also shocked when he heard this. He quickly took the letter and looked at it a few times, and replied: "Your Majesty is a little at ease. The King of Guangyang's entry into the capital cannot prove anything. It's just that Queen Xuande's pillow. Entering the capital at this time is not a good thing. Just wait and see the change. Maybe you have to go back immediately after seeing the emperor, so the throne will definitely not be a good person."

Xia Han's face was much more ferocious when he heard this: "If the queen mother is still alive, how could the second brother be awarded this honor? It would be really outrageous. He, a prince, also wants to covet the big treasure, hum... dream!"

The second son Xia Wen was born to Empress Xuande. However, Empress Xuande was the later empress. Empress Yide, the biological mother of Xia Han, who was the eldest son, had died of illness for several years. Xia Han was the King of Wu and was the title of prince, which was obviously one level higher than the prince.

However, the uncle of the Guangyang County Prince is a family of nobles, and his power is not very strong. However, after the war more than ten years ago, these nobles suddenly rose. Uncle Xia Wen's surname is Li, Li Qiming, and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, representing some forces in the military. No matter what kind of character or ability Xia Wen has, the throne is the vital interest of many people.
