The first thousand two hundred and six chapters become king's worries
In Prince Cheng's Mansion, in the secret room of the study.
The moment the soothing incense burned out, Chengwang's Yin spirit returned to his body.
After a vague wave of soul, he opened his eyes and sighed as well,
He also knew that he was making a fuss out of a molehill this time, but he had to do it.
Not just because King Yu is also a descendant of the Realm Lord like him.
Therefore, he has done this before, and it is not a very sophisticated strategy. Although it is useful, it will not make him worry about it for so long.
No exception is the biggest exception.
On the third day after King Yu left Beijing, after the replay showed no abnormality, he had already determined that King Yu was trying to spread suspicion.
It is very simple to break this strategy. If King Yu returns to the capital next time, he can just continue to be suspicious.
With his ability, this little energy can't be wasted.
But the key point is that yesterday, a piece of news came out from the palace.
A quack magician entered the palace and cured the emperor's chronic illness. Now after more than a month of cultivation, the emperor's health has begun to improve.
The most direct evidence is that three of the nine coal stoves that used to burn continuously in the emperor's palace have now been extinguished.
At the same time, the coal consumption of the other six coal stoves has also been reduced to a certain extent.
Everything indicates that the old emperor is recovering.
The position of supervising the country means that when the emperor is inconvenient, the prince or a certain prince temporarily handles government affairs on behalf of the emperor.
This also means that once the emperor personally goes to war, the position of supervising the country will lose its role.
It cannot be said that it has completely lost its effect. If the emperor still wants to continue to train successors, he will continue to retain the position of supervising the country even after the personal expedition and personally inspect the abilities of the people who supervise the country.
If King Cheng is now established as the prince, even if the old emperor recovers completely tomorrow, he will not be anxious.
But now, he only has the position of supervising the country, but he does not have the title of prince.
The old emperor's condition continues to be serious, and on the day of Bintian, even if he does not have the title of prince, he will be the first candidate to inherit the throne.
But once the old emperor recovers, there will be many variables.
The most direct thing is that if the old emperor is able to abolish his position of supervising the country after having the ability to personally conquer the country, then his efforts in the past six months will basically be in vain.
The abolition of the post of supervisor meant that the old emperor did not regard him as the only candidate for the crown prince.
Therefore, when the news came out of the palace, he really considered whether he should take advantage of the fact that he was still in the position of supervising the country and force the palace to seize the throne like the second prince he had deposed before.
However, in the end he gave up the idea.
The reason is that Di Xin has left the capital.
With King Yu's troops involved outside, if there was anything irregular in the process of his succession to the throne, King Yu might start a rebellion.
If he was allowed to raise the banner of righteousness, then responders from all over the country would definitely rise up together.
But on the contrary, if he is in the right position, then King Yu's rebellion will become a rebellion, and he can use the power of the whole country to suppress the rebellion, and it is even possible for the Northern Xinjiang army to defect.
However, although he suppressed the impulse in his heart, Cheng Wang still felt something was wrong.
Although the charlatan who treated the emperor entered the palace more than a month ago, his sixth sense made him feel that there might be a connection between King Yu and this incident.
Otherwise, how could the news that the old emperor was recovering come out just after Emperor Xin left the capital and probably returned to northern Xinjiang based on time?
If this news had come out a few days earlier, even if King Yu had already left the capital by then, King Cheng would have risked Mingyue Tower being completely exposed and intercepted King Yu on the road.
Once the interception is successful, he can control the princes in the capital and force him to the palace.
If there is no prince with the right to inherit the throne to take the lead in setting up the banner, then even if he is improperly placed in the throne, there will at best be criticism from various places, but a cavalry rebellion is impossible.
As long as there is no rebellion, some criticism can be easily eliminated.
But it's too late to think about this now.
What King Cheng can do now is to once again investigate all of King Yu's actions now and after.
As for the old emperor in the palace...
As long as he does not revoke his position as supervisor of the country, everything will be fine for the time being.
Thinking of this, King Cheng couldn't help but secretly expressed his gratitude.
Although the position of supervising the country can be decided by the emperor alone, the performance of the person who supervises the country will also have a certain impact.
He did not leave any big stains among the prison countries. Even though he was more intense in some places, compared to the final result, it was only a minor flaw and nothing.
Although it's not perfect, it can still be called excellent.
Now he is still the first candidate for the position of prince.
As for Di Xin, who was far away on the border, after the negotiations between the imperial court and the foreign missions ended, he could no longer obtain credit by sending troops to foreign tribes as usual.
Although they have not signed an alliance, they have never invaded Dali. If Emperor Xin dares to send troops rashly against them, it will only damage Dali's face.
In addition to the foreign tribes around Dali that have always had rifts, whether it is Emperor Xin or King Cheng, if he wants to go to war, he can only have this right after becoming the master of Dali.
In other words, King Yu, who was far away on the border, now had no chance to significantly increase his advantage in the battle for the throne.
Accumulating reputation through daily life is too slow.
But he is different.
In the capital, even if he no longer has the position of supervising the country, he still has many opportunities to expand his advantages.
Even though as the old emperor's body gradually recovers, the variables increase, but as long as this prerequisite remains unchanged, there will basically be no variables in his becoming the prince.
But if you think so, you still need to be vigilant.
Since King Yu is also one of the descendants of the Realm Lord, there is no guarantee that he will have any trump cards for a comeback. Once he relaxes even a little bit, he may be turned into a winner.
No matter how great the advantage is, King Cheng will not underestimate any competitor for the position of Lord of the Ancient Moon Realm.
In the dark room of the study, he suddenly sighed.
The divine envoy he sent to Northern Xinjiang has now successfully infiltrated, but after more than a year, the intelligence network has not been established.
The latest news that came back is that the only achievement of that divine envoy so far is to establish the first stronghold in Yanque Pass.
But that’s it.
The only function of this stronghold is to hide their true identity, but it is very difficult to get some really useful information.
With the traitor from Mingyue Tower around, even if they adapted their previous lurking methods, it would be even more difficult to re-establish an intelligence network throughout Northern Xinjiang under the eyes of the government.
All of King Cheng's plans went smoothly, except for King Yu, who was also a competitor, but everything failed.
