Chapter 386: Cut Weeds and Roots
"Daughter, there are rumors inside and outside the capital that...it was...you who executed the eldest prince..." Qi Kun said these words hesitantly.
There were maids and eunuchs waiting in the palace, and generals wearing court uniforms and armors guarding the hall.
It was so quiet now that I couldn't even hear my breathing.
Only the copper incense burner with a golden dragon carved in the middle of the main hall was slowly emitting heat.
The eldest grandson put down the memorial in his hand and recalled every bit of his father.
Her biological father was also kind to her.
Although Concubine Wen was not nice to her at that time, whenever her father came to visit her, she always got some rewards and a full meal.
She was young at the time and was threatened by Concubine Wen so much that she did not dare to tell anyone.
Wen was later dealt with and her father took her to the northwest.
The journey to the northwest was far away, and when the climate was unaccustomed to her, she became very sick and could not take medicine. It was her father who came over and fed her spoonfuls at a time, and also fed her soup and rice.
She had been living outside the palace for many years. When she came back and saw her old father for the first time, he was silent for a long time. He sighed deeply to her and said that she had suffered outside and had prepared many rewards for her.
This is one of the few pieces of fatherly love that the eldest grandson can remember, and she remembers every bit of the past very vividly.
More often than not, she had a quarrel with her father, and even the way her father looked at her after she was made a princess, she would never forget that look in her life.
Now when I chew it, it is so dry and tasteless that it even makes people feel ridiculous.
What is the daughter of an ordinary family like?
What is their father like?
The eldest grandson didn't know much about the title. The only comparisons around her were Uncle Yun and her sister. She was envious and resistant, and she also felt very inferior.
She even thought about going to war with her father.
But I didn't expect that he would die.
Chang Sunxian was lost in thought for a moment, recalling the past between her and her father as if she were just passing through a fleeting glance.
Just like Grandpa Huang said.
Now, she is really alone.
"Let's find a place to bury him first. After the emperor's grandpa is buried," the eldest grandson paused for a moment, "then move into the imperial mausoleum..."
"My lady, what about the rumors outside?"
"Don't worry, it's not time to take action yet. We will deal with it in a few days." Changsun Xian said lightly, but his throat hurt badly.
"Your Highness, this is the situation outside..." Several military generals suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Sun and said.
They really couldn't hold it in any longer.
"You don't need to tell me, I already know it." Chang Sunxian stood up and said.
The hall was already burning with earth dragons, and it was already extremely hot even before the middle of winter.
"I am even more anxious than you are..." Zhang Sunxian walked forward and looked at the scenery outside the window. The grass and trees were withered and yellow.
"This cancer is deeply rooted. Only when all its branches and leaves are exposed can we eradicate it."
——The eldest grandson recalled a long time ago, when Grandpa Huang was still alive.
"Xian'er, when you are an emperor, being virtuous is not enough. You must not only benefit the people, but you must also hold great power..."
"If foreign enemies invade, your territory and people will be slaughtered by others. Don't think that you can live in peace except for foreign troubles. Many internal worries are waiting for you. The family is flourishing and the countryside is rampant. Only the grass bandits are rampant. Only
You can solve all this with a knife in your hand."
"I know that if you are put in power, there will be many dissatisfied people in both the government and the public, and there will be young people waiting in secret. You are the emperor, so you don't need to care about this. If anyone is dissatisfied, beat them until they do."
"Since you have convinced me to make an exception and make you the crown prince, I hope you will not disappoint me..."
Grandpa Huang had already made all preparations for her and handed over the military power to her just for this day.
In addition to these, there are also traitors who have been lurking in the dark for a long time.
"The poison on my body was caused by them back then. When the Supreme Emperor was still here, he hired a famous doctor for me. The doctor said that the poison would be fine for me from now on, unless the person who poisoned me appears again..."
"Grandpa Huang, there is a spy in the palace, I will help you find the spy..." The girl's panicked voice sounded with a cry.
"Don't panic. Grandpa has been waiting for this day for a long time. I have made enough achievements and I don't worry about not being able to see my ancestors in person. The only one I worry about is you."
"Your ascension to the throne as emperor may be an opportunity..."
"What chance?" The girl cried louder and louder.
"A chance to catch them all."
She knew better than anyone how Grandpa Huang was doing. She saw Grandpa Huang getting weaker day by day, lying in bed and relying on soup and medicine to survive.
The eldest grandson was extremely sad. Whenever she cried, the emperor would tell her that the emperor should not shed tears casually.
She keeps it in mind and won't cry again.
This is just the time for these people to take action.
They not only infiltrated the court, but even the inner courtyard of the prince's back house. Only then did the eldest grandson know that several of her imperial uncles had been affected by those human poisons to varying degrees.
It was subtle before, but now it's a direct and cruel move, making the emperor's uncles suspicious and cruel. It seems that they have been lying in wait for a long time.
After that incident, a few doctors who knew how to voodoo were added to the Imperial Hospital. The Emperor told no one except the Emperor, fearing that they would come back one day.
Nowadays, the imperial doctors have long since aged, and their disciples secretly inherited the mantle and entered the imperial hospital.
Although he couldn't save Changsun Han, he could see the situation of the children of Changsun family.
In order not to alert others, Chang Sunxian never had anyone treat him and just waited for them to take action.
When those people revealed more things, it was the time for her to close the net.
"Use the blood of these people to pay tribute to Grandpa Huang." Changsun Xian's ethereal voice sounded in the hall.
Everyone in the palace looked at the young princess with sweat on their foreheads and uneasiness in their hearts.
The Crown Princess is different from what people outside think. Even though she is young, she is more calm than old men like them. It can only be said that the late emperor has extremely vicious eyes and thinks that the Crown Princess can be entrusted to him.
But they still don’t know how powerful this thing lurking in the dark is. What if they lose?
This is not a matter of victory or defeat, but a common occurrence for military strategists.
Even if you lose the battle, you can still retreat and escape. If you lose, you will risk the lives of the whole family.
Thinking of this, the ministers in the palace began to comfort themselves.
How can their family compare to the power of the eldest grandson's family? The princess has staked all the eldest son's family's power.
——
Li Qianchen's errand today was changed to patrolling the city, which was at his own request.
Although it took a bit of hard work, I could detect the movements of people in the city at any time.
In recent days, some unfavorable remarks about the concubine have been circulating in the imperial city. It is said that the imperial guards under the concubine killed the concubine's biological father in full view of the public.
