Chapter 531 These Exhibits Are All for the Crown Prince
Dongming Ziyu smiled lightly: "I must not be able to hear the screams anymore. I'm here to find out the news."
In order to guard against Prime Minister Xu and others, this place was far away from their tent. When the dead man confessed, his voice was very weak, so they could not hear it at all.
Mo Wen asked: "How to reply to him?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "To be honest, one person said he was King Li, another said he was King Qin, and the other said nothing."
If King Qin framed King Li, King Li must know about it.
When King Li received the news that Dongming Ziyu met the assassin, King Qin and the emperor also received the news.
"King Qin, you are still so stupid!" King Li crumpled the note in his hand into a ball and threw it into the brazier.
The note quickly turned red when it encountered charcoal fire, ignited a brief flame, and immediately turned into ashes.
A middle-aged Taoist priest with a celestial spirit sneered: "King Qin can't succeed, he doesn't have many manpower at his disposal."
King Li said disdainfully: "He just had a good mother and concubine, otherwise he would have died countless times!"
What he said was a bit of sour jealousy.
People have mothers and concubines, but he didn't have one when he was born.
The Taoist priest said: "Your Majesty, don't mind. Prince Xuan is so shrewd that he will definitely be able to tell that the assassin was not sent by you, Your Majesty."
"It doesn't matter who he believes in. We are destined not to be good brothers. The key is the position of the prince!" King Li smiled sadly, and that smile looked scary.
The Taoist priest said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The courtiers have been asking for a crown prince in succession in the past few days. I believe that Your Majesty will soon be the Crown Prince."
King Li smiled sharply and said sinisterly: "The old man doesn't seem to want to establish a crown prince. He can write a Zen edict or a succession edict. Do you understand?"
The Taoist shook the fly whisk and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll leave it to the poor Taoist."
King Li showed a relatively normal smile and said: "If you handle this well, I will make you a national advisor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" The Taoist priest smiled broadly and bowed slightly.
King Li waved his hand, "You go down, you have to be careful even if King Xuan is not in the capital."
"I'm a poor Taoist, please leave!" The Taoist priest bowed and exited.
As soon as he turned around, the flattering smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a mocking and calculating sneer.
…
When King Qin received the news, he said harshly: "Those bastards betrayed me!"
Concubine Rou's face was a little pale, "King Xuan is indeed a man of means, he can even pry open the mouths of dead soldiers."
King Qin comforted him: "Concubine, don't worry. Isn't there someone else who claimed that King Li did it according to our plan? King Xuan must believe that King Li did it. After all, I have nothing now, and King Li is his biggest enemy."
Concubine Rou gave him a very unsuccessful look and said: "The fact that King Xuan can survive to this extent in isolation and without help proves that he is not an ordinary person. Do you know why you can't accomplish anything?"
King Qin was a little embarrassed and annoyed, but he could not get angry in front of Concubine Rou. He lowered his head and asked, "I would like to hear the teachings of Concubine Rou."
Concubine Rou sighed and said, "You underestimate the enemy too much."
King Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't scold him for being stupid.
"However, don't be too discouraged. I have my own way." Concubine Rong looked towards the direction of the imperial garden, her eyes dark and unclear, "You just need to do your job well and complete the errands assigned to you by your father.
Stop what you're doing and don't do anything else. Do you understand?"
The King of Qin actually didn't understand, but he still said: "I understand, if you let your mother and concubine worry about your son, you are not filial."
Concubine Rou showed a loving smile and explained softly: "It's only a matter of time before King Li is unlucky. All you need to do is do well and let your father see your ability and filial piety."
King Qin frowned and said: "But after this incident, will King Xuan not only refuse to cooperate with us, but will join forces with King Li to deal with us?"
Concubine Rou was speechless about her son's thoughts, and said softly: "You, King Xuan has such a cold and arrogant temperament, and how capable he is. I don't even need to join forces with others to deal with you."
The King of Qin became very angry, but he dared not speak out against his own mother.
Concubine Rou comforted her softly: "Okay, Princess Qin and my dear grandson will be arriving in Beijing in the next few days, right? I will pick some things from the small storeroom and go back to comfort my dear grandson."
King Qin's son is the emperor's only direct grandson, but he is very valuable and is also a bargaining chip for King Qin.
The King of Qin returned to the capital this time because of his guilt, so he did not have any family members to accompany him. After the emperor revoked his fiefdom, his family members came back from the border fiefdom.
King Qin also showed a fatherly smile when he heard this, "Thank you very much, concubine. I think that boy will be able to call me grandma."
Concubine Rou also laughed, "Mother and son took a short rest, but they must quickly enter the palace to show me and your father."
"Yes!" King Qin agreed with a smile.
…
In the royal study,
The emperor frowned and said softly: "One said he was King Li, one said he was King Qin, and the other didn't say anything. Who do you think it could be?"
Eunuch Zheng flicked the fly whisk, bowed and said: "Hey, Your Majesty, this old slave can't speculate on this matter. Maybe there is someone else who bites randomly and makes the princes feel at odds with each other."
"As long as King Xuan is fine." The emperor couldn't figure it out and stopped thinking about it. He frowned as he looked at a pile of thick folds on the table, "These folds are all for inviting the crown prince."
Eunuch Zheng stopped talking. He knew what happened to the prince, and the emperor did not dare to establish the prince easily.
The emperor was worried that if the future prince also thought he could not die, he would be in trouble if he killed the king and his father like the previous prince.
The emperor placed his hands on the folds, tapping them thoughtfully. If he had to establish a prince to stabilize the court, he wanted to establish Dongming Ziyu.
He is the legitimate eldest son, capable of withstanding the open and secret attacks of other princes, and he will not live long even if he has a heart disease.
But when I think about it, he won't live long. If he becomes the prince, will he immediately want to kill his father?
It turns out that the heir to the throne in his heart has always been King Li, but King Li lives a long life. Will he secretly turn himself into a real zombie for the sake of the throne?
"Some of these quotes suggest King Xuan, some propose King Li and King Qin, and some propose the fifth prince and other princes. I don't know who should be appointed. You have watched these children grow up, who do you think can take on the role?"
Big job?"
Eunuch Zheng bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the nine sons of Longsheng each have their own strengths, and all of them are good."
The emperor hit Eunuch Zheng affectionately and said, "You old guy, you can't offend anyone!"
Eunuch Zheng laughed and said: "I tell the truth, I don't dare to deceive you!"
The emperor also sighed: "Yes, my sons are all good, but I can't make a choice. Let the courtiers discuss it carefully."
Let the courtiers see his attitude. It's not that he doesn't want to appoint a prince, but he doesn't know who to appoint.
Now, although many ministers have accepted the invitation to establish a prince, they have not stated who they support, and their attitude is not clear.
