"You mean in name?"

"That's right."

Emperor Long Jing said: "In fact, this is the biggest problem. The Prince of Zhenbei has been guarding the north loyally for generations, and its prestige is great, especially Guan Ning!"

"This time he put down the rebellion in the north and counterattacked into the wilderness. What will happen when he returns victorious?"

Both of them fell silent.

There is no solution to this problem!

If he hadn't considered the influence, there would have been no need to collude with foreigners to murder Guan Zhongshan.

"We can use force."

Duan Ang said: "Guan Ning is not a peaceful person. Forcing him to rebel against the imperial court and put down the chaos will occupy the side of justice."

"This is what I thought too."

Emperor Long Jing said: "Tomorrow I will convene a court meeting. At that time, Gao Lian, you can impeach Huaiyang King Xiao An for secretly raising private soldiers and secretly building weapons... In short, it is similar charges."

"Understood."

Gao Lian responded very quickly and got it right at the drop of a hat.

Huaiyang King Xiao'an's fiefdom was in the southeastern area of ​​Dakang. If he was related to Emperor Longjing's uncle, he was also the only other prince besides King Zhenbei.

After several generations of emperors reducing his vassal status, he had already been reduced to a state of disgrace. Apart from the two thousand private soldiers in the palace, he no longer had an army.

Xiao An is also old and is known as the King of Longevity. However, due to his age, it is said that he is sometimes sober and sometimes confused. He is also very peaceful and just wants to spend his old age peacefully.

Emperor Longjing's move was obviously to take action against him. He listed various crimes to highlight the harmfulness of the vassal king. The main purpose was to highlight the Zhenbei Palace.

This is actually sending a signal. When the time comes, we really have to take action against Zhenbei Palace, and it won't seem so abrupt.

Your Majesty's imperial power is truly brilliant.

"In addition, you can find someone else to release the news among the people and incite public opinion to start building momentum..."

Emperor Long Jing said in a low voice: "I learned this move from Guan Ning."

"Understood."

"The matters discussed today are not allowed to be shared before the official start. The two of you are preparing in secret."

"yes!"

After talking about the serious business, I felt a little relaxed.

Emperor Long Jing seemed to have thought of something and asked Gao Lian again.

"You said Meng'er's death was an order from Zheng'er?"

This is the second time he has asked.

"I don't think so."

Gao Lian said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young after all, and is not very mature in this regard... If your Majesty wants to know the truth, you can ask the Imperial City Department to investigate in detail, and he will definitely be able to find out."

"never mind."

Emperor Long Jing waved his hand.

"So what if we find out, everyone is dead. After this incident, the struggle should be able to weaken a little. At this time, we must ensure the internal stability of the court."

Gao Lian and Gao Lian were silent, so there was no problem.

Secret talks are going on here, and many officials in the mourning hall outside have dispersed.

The whole mourning hall seemed a little quieter.

But Prince Xiao Zheng is still there. He is now thirteen years old, and his face still looks very immature, but due to the excellent blood of the royal family, he is already handsome.

But the look at this moment is pitiful.

His eyes were red and swollen, his face was pale, and his young body was kneeling in front of the soul, still keeping vigil for the second prince Xiao Meng.

When officials outside saw this, they were also very sad.

Xiao Zheng has been here since this mourning hall was built, which is something that none of the other adult princes have done.

This also convinced people that this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng.

First, it’s his age and his actions.

Secondly, this kind of thing is too complicated, and other princes may also poison it. This can put the blame on Xiao Zheng and ruin his reputation.

Because the eldest prince Qin Wang Xiao Teng is already accusing...

But no matter what others said, Xiao Zheng kept kneeling in front of the soul.

At this time Xuan Xin walked over to him and squatted down, seemingly trying to comfort him.

"Your Highness, please get up quickly. If this continues, your body will not be able to bear it."

"Has your father taken more pills recently?"

Xiao Zheng asked in a voice that only two people could hear.

However, Xuan Xin was not surprised and replied in the same low voice: "It is indeed increased, but Your Majesty seems to be beginning to doubt the effectiveness of the elixir. I am worried that there will be problems."

"No, you must continue to trick him into taking the pill."

At this time, Xiao Zheng's face was still filled with sadness, but what he said was this!

It seems like normal consolation, but what they are talking about is this kind of thing.

"But I really don't know what the reason is. If this continues, Your Majesty will become suspicious."

Xuan Xin looked troubled.

Emperor Long Jing was indeed devoted to cultivating immortality and seeking immortality. He believed deeply in the theory of refining elixirs to maintain health.

But it depends on the situation.

As the number of pills he took increased, his body became older and other problems appeared.

Isn’t it normal to have doubts about this?

He didn't doubt taking the elixir, he suspected there was something wrong with the elixir.

"Just say that this is just a temporary rebound. After taking the elixir to a certain extent, the accumulated medicinal power will take effect."

Xuan Xin was slightly startled.

This was an excellent reason, and he was confident that Emperor Long Jing would believe it.

After all, it's been so long.

This is like looking for water in the desert. You have walked more than half way, and when you are about to give up, someone tells you that there is water just half way.

You will never give up.

But he had doubts in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, given your current situation, you must have His Majesty's support to be safe. Why..."

He still didn't say the last few words.

Taking elixirs will not lead to immortality, it may even cause other problems, and may even lead to early death!

Xiao Zheng's requirements for him all reflected this.

However, Xiao Zheng only had one sentence to answer him, but it left him speechless.

"Wouldn't it be safer if I sit in that position?"

With a sad expression, a childish face, and words that were inappropriate for his age... Xuan Xin couldn't help but feel chilled.

He knew that everyone had been deceived by this Crown Prince!

They all thought that he was young and ignorant, and that his mind was immature...these were all appearances!

In fact, this prince is a real evildoer!

Xuan Xin remembers the day he came to find her.

He only said one word and asked him to surrender.

"You, a monster monk, bewitched my father to cultivate immortality and seek immortality, and you also took those elixirs that were originally poisonous pills. My father will not live long. When my father dies and passes away, and I succeed to the throne, I will definitely tear you apart."

Xuanxin was shocked and confused.

He really wanted to say that he had indeed played some role, but cultivating Taoism and seeking immortals was what His Majesty insisted on doing, and it had nothing to do with him.

But one thing is true.

If this continues, Your Majesty will definitely not live long.

So Xiao Zheng said something again.

"If you are loyal to me, I will protect you from worries when I inherit the throne in the future. You should understand that many people want you to die. Without my protection, you will definitely die."

He didn't say much, but he hit Xuan Xin's weak point.
