fake prince

Chapter 585
Standing in front of King Qi, Wen Xunpeng, who reported the incident, turned pale and trembled slightly, obviously afraid that King Qi would take his anger out on him in this situation.

But what has to be said has to go on.

"Your Highness, this is not an easy matter now. Now that the emperor is like this, I am afraid that Su Ziji is very important. He is the son of the prince himself, and now he is going to join the clan. It has a lot of righteousness, and the emperor has chosen a clan for him. I'm afraid there will be many ministers in the court who will favor him."

King Qi didn't know what the staff said?

He said coldly: "Royal father, I'm afraid I'm too old to be confused. I just demoted me and the people of the King of Shu, and now I immediately pulled Su Ziji up."

"Arrange it, and let our ginseng book him. He must not be allowed to be naturalized safely. Even if he is disgusting, I will disgust him."

King Qi patted hard, and the staff at the side wanted to persuade him, but for a while he didn't dare to speak out when King Qi was furious.

In fact, according to their thinking, under such circumstances, it is obvious that the emperor wanted Su Ziji to enter the arena to achieve a balance with the kings. , With vigilance, there will be countermeasures to check and balance.

Obviously the emperor has already been vigilant, but insisting on causing trouble at this time, wouldn't this arouse the emperor's suspicion and displeasure?

But whether the emperor was vigilant, or secondly, they persuaded the prince when he was furious, fearing that he would be attacked on the spot.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and everyone is silent.

Shu Palace
Like Prince Qi's Mansion, a meeting was being held in Prince Shu's Mansion after receiving the news.

The staff of the King of Shu are sitting at the bottom, and the young prince sitting on the top is unfolding a secret letter in his hand, and let people pass it to the staff below to read it, and when it comes back, they put it on a candle and light it. Little by little it burned away.

"I don't know how angry my brother will be when he hears the news?"

The king of Shu looked very easy-going and relaxed, thinking about what the king of Qi might look like at this time, he smiled dumbly.

The staff below looked at the King of Shu one by one, all feeling strange, wondering why the King of Shu was not angry, but had a smile on his face.

Now in the court, although the King Qi's camp has indeed suffered repeated setbacks, it is not the King of Shu's party that has benefited.

The body of the king of Shu still has not been washed clean by the splashed dirty water. Among other things, Luo Pei is still in the sky prison and has not been rescued.

No matter how you look at it, they are both feared and suppressed by the emperor just like King Qi.

Su Zi was hurriedly recalled, and he will be officially naturalized. Once he is naturalized, he will be the son of the crown prince, so what if the crown prince is dead?
As the crown prince, the eldest son of the emperor and the only grown-up son of the prince who remained in the world, he was recognized and naturalized. Isn't the prince worried about the advantage of this status?
Raising a tiger is easy to cause trouble, and if Su Ziji is allowed to develop like this, the harm will be even worse!

A staff member named Min Quyi had a thin beard, and because he was worried about this matter, he almost tore off the few remaining beards just now. At this time, he couldn't bear it any more, stood up and saluted the king of Shu boldly: "Your Highness, I don't know why you are so calm?"

"The last time the embankment broke, it was said that our people did it, which caused us a lot of trouble. Now the court is still investigating, and His Majesty has demoted the relevant people. We have lost several people. If the charges are proven, I am afraid we will lose a lot of money." There will be more people."

"And Su Zi's naturalization made our situation even worse."

This is true.

The atmosphere in the court has been tense recently. King Qi was guarded by the emperor, and King Shu was also questioned by the emperor in front of all the ministers because of the collapse of the embankment in Shun'an Mansion. It is easy to get on the body, but it is difficult to shake it off.

The breach of the embankment has long passed, and the person in charge at that time was indeed a member of the King of Shu. If you trace the source, no matter how you investigate, it is all related to the King of Shu. Even the members of the King of Shu Party know that they did not do this, but Will outsiders believe it?Will the person on the dragon chair believe it?

Unbelief is sin.

The most important thing is that maybe the emperor knew it well, but the public opinion in the officialdom was not good for the king of Shu. Now there is no conviction, no reprimand, but it is still under investigation. Is the prince really not worried about this matter?I don't worry about Su Zi's naturalization. Is the emperor going to take the kings as a prelude?

"Huh!" When the staff mentioned this matter, the king of Shu naturally showed a cold expression.

How could he not know about this matter?

And there's no need to think about who did it, it's probably his good brother who did it!
His elder brother is very familiar with this kind of framing. When we were young, we studied together in the palace. This good brother has a bad temper and is violent, but he is never soft-hearted and black-hearted when using this kind of conspiracy.

It's a pity that I have been vigilant for many years, but I still got caught in the trap and was tricked again.

But there is also a little bit of luck, the people hiding around him have been mixed enough to make him trust, if it wasn't exposed during this embankment breach, and when it was critical, stabbing himself would be even more ruthless, then it would be a real trap !
His eyes fell on Min Quyi who was asking the question below, and the King of Shu shook his head: "What do you know? Even if this happened, would it be possible that my father would demote me?"

What the king of Shu said not only surprised Min Quyi, but also other staff members fell into deep thought.

In fact, the king of Shu looks very similar to the emperor when he was young. He has two thick eyebrows, eyes like lacquer, and wears azure Ning silk. He is young and handsome. Correct or handsome.

It's just that it looks elegant, and with just a flick of the eye, it seems to be awe-inspiring and intimidating.

In fact, the king of Shu was not angry with the staff, but he himself held his breath and took advantage of this opportunity to say everything.

He sneered: "The reason why my father wants my little nephew to join this family is not just to suppress me and King Qi, hum!"

"This world is always our father and son, so what if I kill someone? Even if the embankment breaks, so what? I am always the prince. As long as I don't order it directly, I have reason to shirk and get rid of him." Leave me and let King Qi grow up alone?"

Just thinking about it makes it impossible.

Why did the emperor rush to call Su Zi into Beijing? Wasn't it because he wanted to check and balance himself and the king of Qi?

Why use Su Ziji to check and balance him and King Qi?Of course, it is because the father is old, and the old lion is worried about being kicked out by the young lion, so he wants the young lion to fight among himself so that he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

But even so, the princes and grandsons are still princes and grandchildren, unlike the Jinshi who can produce a batch of Jinshi every three years, he and King Qi, to put it mildly, are a waste of "scarce resources" .

Using officials as chess pieces, the emperor will not feel sorry for abolishing a few, but there are only three adult princes. His younger brother, King Lu, is far inferior to himself and King Qi in terms of power, and the adult grandson is only one Suzi If one is missing, the situation will change, and if there is one more, the situation will also change. He doesn't believe that his father will let himself out of the game because of such a trivial matter.

When two tigers fight, one must be injured, and the three legs stand together are the safest.
