After speaking, Lu Songli began to tease the princes under Emperor Kang Cheng, and then analyzed their temperament and power, combined with the fragmentary information from the original work, to see which prince was most likely to usurp the throne by killing his brother and father.

Nowadays, in addition to the crown prince, there are two adult princes under Emperor Kang Cheng's knees. One is underage, and there are three princesses who are still alive. Two are adults and married, and one is still waiting to be married.

It can be seen that Emperor Kangcheng had many heirs.

"Dad, the Emperor has given birth to many sons and daughters." The key is that he is still an adult.

Lu Desheng: Is that a lot? The emperor’s harem is so big and he has so many concubines, but he only has seven children in total. He only has one wife and he has four children. How proud!

Lu Songli: How can this be compared?

In general, at the end of a dynasty, many emperors would harvest nothing no matter how hard they sow, or only a single seedling could grow from thousands of miles of fertile fields. There really was no one to inherit the throne, or there was only one heir, and he was not even qualified to pull it off.

nothing.

Thinking of this, Lu Songli couldn't help but think of those emperors from past dynasties.

"Dad, our emperor is actually a pretty good emperor." He plays for fun, takes drugs, and indulges himself in cultivation without harming others. Although the weapons are not good enough, wars often break out on the border of Dali.

But they did not abuse the people's power, build palaces, dig canals, or indulge in extravagant desires.

The key point is that her father gained face and enjoyed himself in front of Emperor Kang Cheng. For such a good emperor, why can't he live up to his expectations and live longer?

Lu Desheng felt very sad about this. He felt very deeply about this.

Getting back to the topic, Lu Songli put the paper in her hand on the table, "Dad, let's see, among the second, third, and fourth princes, which one seems to have great ambitions?"

They now have to choose the new emperor who committed crimes among the three princes, and choose one of the three. This is not a big workload.

Lu Songli needed to read the information, but Lu Desheng didn't even need to read it. After all, he had been in power for many years, and because he knew Emperor Kang Cheng, he also had a general understanding of the princes and princesses under his knees.

"Exclude the third prince first." Lu Desheng's hand fell on the name of the third prince and lightly scratched it.

Lu Songli nodded, "I don't think he looks too much like him either." The third prince and the prince are from the same mother. Since the current emperor is his biological father and the next emperor is his biological brother, they have completely messed it up and can basically rule it out.

Ask him if it's possible to pretend like this and then pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger? That requires him to have that kind of brain.

The Queen and the Emperor are cousins. Those who have received nine years of compulsory education know the dangers of incest marriage. It is already very lucky that the two sons born to the Queen are normal. Do you still expect him to be extremely smart?

Lu Desheng took a pen, dipped it in ink, and crossed out the name of the third prince.

"Where is the second prince?"

The second prince is a martial artist and has conquered the southern fiefdoms early. If he is really the mastermind behind the scenes, how much control is needed in order to implement the plan smoothly, both in the south and in the north. And at this time, he should be in Chang'an.

He should be on the battlefield. No matter what happens, he should be on the way to the battlefield, but he is still hiding in the fiefdom.

After crossing out the third prince, only the fourth prince is left among the dragons.

The father and daughter stared at the fourth prince's name and fell into deep thought.

The fourth prince Song Mo, Heitongmo, means Weimo. Just by looking at his name, you can tell that he is not favored.

The fourth prince was born to a palace maid, whose mother-in-law was just a seventh-grade county magistrate in a remote place. After he was selected into the palace, he was accidentally visited by the drunk Emperor Kangcheng. He won a lottery and gave birth to a dragon son, but he also suffered from dystocia.

And die.

After the birth of the fourth prince, he had no sense of presence in the palace, and Emperor Kang Cheng did not like to see him. Although the fourth prince's maternal family was promoted one level because of his birth mother's contribution to the birth, this small influence was nothing in Chang'an City.

.

Lu Desheng, "Could it be him?"

Lu Desheng stared at the name and looked around. Didn't he see that he had such an ambition?

How could such a transparent person with no power and weak mother's family be the kind of ruthless person who kills his brother and his father? You know, even the palace people living in the harem rarely think of the existence of the fourth prince.

.

"It should be him." Lu Songli said, "Dogs that bark don't bite, and dogs that bite don't bark."

Lu Desheng glanced at his daughter, who was more venomous than him. The fourth prince, after all, was a son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson, but he was compared to a dog. He couldn't do it, he was still a little timid.

Lu Songli studied the information she could collect about the fourth prince and found that except for those who were still around him, the palace servants who served him had no good ending. Although the fate of these people had nothing to do with him.

None.

Lu Songli pointed this out.

Lu Desheng also felt that there must be some handiwork of the fourth prince in this. As expected, the nickname was not wrong. This fourth prince was vicious and cruel.

"Besides, Dad, I suspect that Zhongshu Ling Xue Huaimin is his." Lu Songli's finger touched the words "Zhongshu Ling Xue Huaimin" slightly, and there was a scratch on it.

Xue Huaimin's ancestral home is in the same place as the ancestral home of the fourth prince's mother's family. On the surface, the fourth prince has no connection with his mother's family. However, Lu Songli discovered that in recent years, as a member of the Zhongshu Ling Office, he had

This is a major event. If you look carefully, it is closely related to the fourth prince.

"The fourth prince is powerless. Xue Huaimin, as Zhongshu Ling, has great power. Why would he do this?"

Lu Songli pointed out calmly, "The fourth prince has no power, but he has the status of a prince." Zhongshu Ling is the governor of Zhongshu Province and the prime minister. In later generations, this Zhongshu Ling is equivalent to the prime minister.

Looking at it from Xue Huaimin's point of view, "As for why, of course it is to follow the merits of the dragon." From Xue Huaimin's actions, we can see that he is a man with a strong desire for power. He came from a poor family and climbed to this

The position is not easy, but how can Emperor Kang Cheng be reconciled to his current short life? There are too many people around the prince, and he can't squeeze in. Of course, he chose the fourth prince, not necessarily because he thought he was good.

Because of the pinch.

Lu Desheng tugged at his mustache and said in agreement, "Daughter, based on your analysis, I think the fourth prince is the most likely candidate."

Lu Desheng has been in the court for so many years, and he and Xue Huaimin have always been in harmony with each other. Xue Huaimin usually ignores him, and he is not stupid. He knows that this man is a piece of iron and will not provoke him easily. But Lu Desheng knows this
