After Zhao Xiangqi and Zeng Hongshen went to the martial arts training ground, Di Xin hummed a tune and tapped the table with his two fingers.
Cheng Wang supervising the country was originally a delaying strategy that he and the old emperor had discussed, so of course he was not in a hurry.
This countermeasure was not discussed when Di Xin entered the palace for the first time, but was truly decided after Di Xin entered the palace for the second time.
When he entered the palace for the second time, he originally planned to heal the old emperor's wounds.
That wisp of ice-cold aura was a Realm Master's method. Even though it was restricted by the rules of the Ancient Moon Realm, its quality was still not comparable to that of ordinary second-level powerhouses.
In addition, over the years, the cold air had already invaded the old emperor's heart and became entangled with each other.
Coupled with the connection between the cold air all over the old emperor's body and this strand of ice-cold air as the source, it can be said that a single move affects the whole body.
Therefore, even Emperor Xin had to be extremely careful if he wanted to make this icy air disappear without hurting the old emperor.
Even so, he was less than 50% sure that it would not leave any sequelae to the old emperor.
And there is less than 70% certainty that although it will leave some sequelae, it will not endanger the old emperor's life.
Therefore, when they met for the first time, Di Xin only checked the old emperor's body, but did not implement any treatment.
He actually needed one day to adjust, but considering the old emperor's physical condition, he just extended this time to seven days.
However, just when Di Xin entered the palace and was about to treat the old emperor.
Taking advantage of the preparation time, the two chatted about the changes in the capital in the past seven days.
Even though one of the old emperor and Di Xin was lying deep in the palace unable to move, and the other was nominally under house arrest in the palace, they both had people under their command who could run for their masters.
After seven days of fermentation, both Emperor Xin and the old emperor discovered that there seemed to be a different feeling in the capital than before.
And the small actions of the Chengwang family in the court became more and more frequent.
The storm is coming.
And it's getting worse.
Emperor Xin and the old emperor knew clearly that although God Xin was under house arrest in the palace, he had never summoned King Cheng, which eventually aroused suspicion in his mind.
Even though King Cheng had huge power in the capital, even if he openly rebelled and forced the palace, as long as the old emperor held on to the name of orthodoxy, there was actually no chance of winning.
No matter how weak the lion is, it is still a lion.
It would be a real joke if anyone really regarded this patient who had been lying deep in the palace for several years as a weakling who could be bullied at will.
However, neither Di Xin nor the old emperor wanted to cause trouble at this moment.
For Di Xin, once King Cheng becomes violent, he will be the first to be eliminated.
The capital is not Emperor Xin's base. Facing King Cheng who occupies the right time, place and people, the dozens of people close to Prince Yu's Mansion may not be able to protect him completely.
As for the old emperor, seeing that the injury that had been bothering him for many years was being solved, he naturally did not want anything to go wrong at this critical moment.
There is no need to wait for recovery, as long as he can resume certain actions, he can naturally take back all the power he has given away over the years after taking office.
By then, he will not be taken seriously by him at all if he becomes a mere king.
But now!
It is not unreasonable to make certain concessions before things are done.
Therefore, in order to confuse King Cheng and appease him, the old emperor and Emperor Xin decided to temporarily let King Cheng concurrently serve as the supervisor of the country.
Generally speaking, a prince who also holds the position of supervising the country is basically trained as the next prince. Therefore, as long as this prince does not make any mistakes during his reign, the prince's position is basically certain.
But as I said, that's a general situation.
The prince who is also the supervisor of the country is very likely to be the next crown prince, but it is not certain.
The old emperor only decreed that King Cheng should also serve as the supervisor of the country, but he did not say that he would be appointed as the prince. If anyone misunderstood because of this, it is none of his business.
And the effect of doing so is obviously excellent.
It had only been a day or two. Because of the incident involving King Cheng and Supervising the Kingdom, although the capital had become more lively, the feeling that a storm was coming was gradually dissipating.
This step is the right one.
Di Xin hummed a tune softly, with a smile on his lips.
"Before the time comes, I will temporarily let you help me manage this great separation for a few days."
The eldest prince became king and was now being used by Di Xin as his tool before he formally took over Dali.
I believe that with the idea that he will be the next prince, King Cheng will be particularly attentive when handling court affairs.
"However, after being delayed for so many days, we should find time to start treating the old emperor as soon as possible."
Di Xin muttered something softly.
On that day, after it was decided to let King Cheng temporarily supervise the country, in order to prevent his flaws from being discovered when he was summoned, the treatment that was supposed to be provided was temporarily suspended.
A clone of a world lord descends, who knows what special methods he will have.
If the two of them planned so carefully, but in the end the secret was exposed because of this reason, the joke would be big.
And now, since the imperial edict has been issued, the treatment that was originally stopped can continue.
…
Inside Prince Cheng's Mansion.
Looking at the seal in his hand, even if it was King Yicheng's state of mind, he felt a little unreal.
That day, after Lao Wu came out of the palace, nothing happened that he was most worried about, and he even angered the emperor and was put under house arrest, but he felt a little uneasy after all.
No one knows what the emperor and Prince Yu discussed in the palace that day.
Naturally, no one knows whether the old emperor was really angry that day.
Although he couldn't guess the reason, as time went by, King Cheng felt more and more that something was wrong.
Until he discovered that King Yu was secretly fueling certain news.
That was some people's speculation that he was under house arrest by the emperor.
Although King Yu's actions were secretive, King Cheng had countless spies inside and outside the capital, so how could he hide it from him?
And King Cheng believed that King Yu also knew this.
Therefore, King Yu did this on purpose, just to let him find out.
And King Yu's behavior seemed to tell him clearly that the reason why he was under house arrest did have some ulterior secret.
This strategy was not clever, but it made King Cheng feel relieved.
He didn't think King Yu was that kind of stupid person. This kind of concealment method made it easier to expose his secrets.
Therefore, King Yu's behavior made King Cheng feel that there was no deeper secret hidden in Lao Wu's grounding.
He didn't completely believe his guess, but he was becoming more and more inclined to think twice.
