Having an affair with a foreigner is a serious crime.
The whole of Dali belongs to your Zhao family. You can't feel bad for selling your father's land here, but ask them to serve the country loyally, right?
If this matter is discovered by the court, in full public view, even if the person who did it is a prince, he will not be able to please him.
But if it was only discovered by the emperor himself, then the situation would be completely different.
The reason why the royal family has no family ties is because in order to ensure the stability of the political system in Dali, even the rulers must give up some things that are close to their children.
But humans are not like grass and trees, so how can we be ruthless?
The emperor is also a human being and is not exempt from vulgarity.
When it comes to national affairs, he will make ruthless choices. But for these sons of his, it is impossible for him to really have no feelings at all.
Moreover, various previous signs have shown that as long as it is not a rebellion and does not go too far, the old emperor will turn a blind eye to the struggle for the throne between several princes.
Because Di Xin responded well, this incident did not cause any substantial damage to Dali.
In addition, the truth has not been made public, so after the old emperor discovered that the matter was related to one of his sons, it was reasonable for him to be partial.
In the feudal dynasty where imperial power was greater than the law, there was nothing wrong with this approach in the eyes of the old emperor.
But, which prince secretly leaked the material transportation route of Northern Xinjiang to the Turks at that time?
The first thing that appeared in Di Xin's mind was that the eldest prince became king.
Not only is it the battle for the throne of Dali, but also the entire battle for the position of the leader of the Ancient Moon Realm. King Cheng not only has the ability, but also has the motivation to carry out this matter.
The more he thought about it, the more Di Xin felt like this.
…
At this moment, in the palace of Prince Cheng.
Under the secret room of the study.
Cheng Wang, who was sitting cross-legged, did not know at this moment that someone had placed a blame on his head for three years.
But seriously speaking, this is not a scapegoat.
After all, the person who originally encouraged King Jing to do this was a member of the Mingyue Tower who had been killed by him and was lurking in King Jing's mansion as a retainer.
Although in this case, it was completely done by the member of that local name without permission, and King Cheng only found out about it after the fact.
Therefore, this is indeed a scapegoat.
At this moment, inexplicably, King Cheng was thinking about the old emperor and King Yu, even though he was not sure whether he should be held responsible.
He would not be summoned until the next day after returning to the capital, which seemed a bit late to Di Xin, but seemed a bit anxious to King Cheng.
According to common sense, after the old emperor's condition worsened, the first important thing was to officially confirm the next heir to the throne before Bintian.
That is the position of prince.
However, since the news came from the palace that the old emperor was seriously ill, several princes were indeed summoned, but none of them became the king.
If it were just like this, King Cheng wouldn't be in a hurry.
Because whether it is in terms of personal connections or personal performance, compared to the other princes in the capital, he is the best choice for the crown prince.
Even if the old emperor was so sick that he was completely confused, it would be impossible for him to choose anyone else instead of him.
But Di Xin is different.
Generally speaking, once a prince is transferred out of the capital, he loses his right to inherit the throne.
This is true whether they leave the capital passively or actively. Only those who stay will start the real fight for the throne.
However, if you leave passively and are unwilling to give up the throne, you can try to petition the emperor to revoke the imperial edict.
But Di Xin did nothing at that time. Instead, he packed up everything as quickly as possible and left the capital.
This was also King Cheng. Although he initially suspected that Di Xin was the avatar of another realm lord, when he heard that he had been transferred to Northern Xinjiang to serve as the general of Zhenguan, he was very happy and even went out of the city to see him off.
In his opinion, Emperor Xin, who had left the capital, had no way to compete with him for the throne of Dali.
And if he succeeds in succeeding to the throne, then no matter how much fame the fifth brother, who is suspected to be the avatar of the Realm Lord, makes in Northern Xinjiang, he will end up making wedding clothes for him.
But he didn't expect that this nominal brother would cause so much trouble.
It was so big that the unspoken rules that had been accepted by everyone before had lost their effect. It was so big that even though he was far away in northern Xinjiang, he became the most powerful candidate to compete with him for the throne.
So now, it is already in a state where the tail is too big to fall off.
Moreover, the old emperor's ambiguous attitude towards Emperor Xin's expedition also made people wonder, what was the real reason why he transferred King Yu away from the capital in the first place?
Do you really think that this fifth son has no ability to inherit the throne, so you let him go out early to save his life out of love?
Or is it for other reasons?
Under this speculation, the voices supporting King Yu's succession unknowingly grew louder.
Until now, Dang Cheng had been in the capital but had not been summoned, but the fact that he was summoned into the palace as soon as King Yu came back made him have more speculations.
"Is it true that the old emperor really intends to hand over the throne to Lao Wu?"
In the dark basement, King Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity. If the assassination a few days ago had been successful, there would be no need to worry now!"
Thinking of this, King Rao Cheng couldn't help but feel a little upset.
He admitted that when he formulated the plan to assassinate King Yu this time, he did not show any contempt.
He has tried before. With his current strength, he can easily kill a second-level strongman. It is also easy to face two second-level strongmen. However, after being besieged by three second-level strongmen, it is a little more difficult.
, but it can also achieve total annihilation.
If there are four strong men in the second realm, they can win, but if they are not kept together, one or two people will be lost.
But if there are five second-level experts, he can barely remain invincible, but it will be difficult to kill people.
If there were six second-level experts, he would have no choice but to run away.
But this refers to a situation where both sides are fighting for their lives.
If it was just a fight, up to four people would be able to entangle him, and there would be no time to care about anything else in a short period of time.
But who is King Cheng?
His true identity is the avatar of the Realm Lord. Even though he can only display the strength of a strong man in the second realm, he is not comparable to the natives of the Ancient Moon Realm.
Xia Yan, the former imperial master, was able to cultivate to the point where he was invincible with the help of the fate of the entire country.
Although the Tiancan old man is also the best among the second level experts, in King Cheng's view, at most two to three people of the same level can entangle him, and four people can completely suppress him.
And according to the accounts of the Tianzi No. 9 people who returned from the assassination, the situation was indeed as he expected.
But no one expected that the second second-level powerhouse hidden next to King Yu was not the innate grandmaster who made a big fuss in Mingyue Tower, but an Illuminating Warlock.
And he is a magician who possesses the magical power of water.
