I Persuade People With Reason

Chapter 231: Rebel 15

The recent life of the third prince, Xiwen, has not been smooth, and it can even be said that he has been troubled and troubled.

Since Wu Heng, the commander-in-chief of the empire, was born, he has been highly praised and expected by the empire.

His stern father and emperor were very envious of him and gave him unparalleled attention. And this kind of attention, the third prince, who is his own son, has never received it.

Seeing a young man who is a few years older than himself so beautiful, even his deputy was eclipsed by comparison, the third prince, Xiwen, was naturally a little jealous.

But the education of the heir of the empire made him understand that his position was the monarch, not the commander. This young commander was never his rival. If the other party was the cornerstone of the empire, then the entire empire would be will be his?. Wuheng's brilliance grows, and it will only add glory to his empire.

Calmness and reason suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and the third prince decided to try to win over the commander in advance. Unfortunately, his gesture of goodwill did not get a response.

If this is the case, the third prince believes that he has enough patience to make the light of the empire willingly submit to him. However, a secret discovery completely changed the mind of the third prince, Xiwen.

Two years ago, in order to better understand the commander in order to subdue the commander, the third prince sent someone to investigate his life, and found that the other party had a blank period of fourteen years, and even found out when the other party had just arrived at the orphan shelter. ? Old photos.

In the blink of an eye, the green-eyed boy in the photo hit him at a certain moment, reminding him of another person, who was also an S-rank talent, but died early at the age of six. ?genius.

Although the third prince had no memory of his brother for a long time, the three-year-old? The age difference made him vague about his brother's death, but since childhood, he didn't know how many times he heard about his father in private I regret the untimely death of another son; countless times when the third prince performed well and tried to be praised by his father, he would be compared by the emperor to the elder brother who died early; Yumin, when praising the excellence of the third prince, there is always someone who can't help but sigh, "If only the first prince could survive"... It seems that no matter what, he can't satisfy everyone? , is always the "second best" choice in everyone's mind.

The moment he saw that old photo, the third prince suddenly figured out what was in his heart all along? What was the reason for jealousy.

It might be an empathy.

Because of the difference in talent, everyone thought that he was not as good as his elder brother, and everyone felt sorry for the first prince's death. So, when the same S-rank Wuheng appeared in front of his eyes, it was hard not to cause his long-cherished grievance - what's wrong with me? Is it because of talent?

These unwillingness and jealousy were once suppressed by the third prince with reason, but now they are once again motivated by that photo.

"...It's so similar. Really? It's so similar."

He had stared at the photos left by the brother countless times, as if he was talking to the person who was no longer there. Therefore, only he can see the similarity.

Black hair and gray eyes are not a special feature, as are many people in the Empire's Eastern Star Region. Wu Heng, who has experienced many years of military career, is completely different from the eldest prince when he was six years old, and it is not enough to make people think.

But that young, fourteen-year-old Wu Heng looked too similar. He seemed to have seen countless people's hearts and minds, "If the first prince hadn't died and grew up safely". This made him genuinely uneasy.

To this day, the third prince, Xiwen, still finds it difficult to recall his mentality at that time. He just suddenly came up with an absurd conjecture, and then he couldn't control it anymore, so that the thought kept surging in his heart. .

After that? Things are simple. For an imperial commander who has fought for many years, it is normal to be injured and bleed. He easily obtained the blood of the commander, and secretly did a genetic comparison with himself.

The result was no less than an earthquake for the third prince. No one in the outside world knew about the earthquake that occurred in his heart.

From that day on, he overturned his years-long plan for a step-by-step successor. Because on his way forward, there is one of the biggest obstacles. The other party has changed from the perfect right-hand man in his mind to the one that must be eliminated and then quickly.

Although the third prince, Xiwen, doesn't know about his untimely death, why is his eldest brother still alive and well, and why he lives in the world and no one knows, but the gene comparison? Who knows? Did something happen back then? The emperor used the eldest prince's death as an excuse to cover up, but in fact, he never forgot his most beloved, the eldest son? This seemed to explain his indifference to himself.

Therefore, he must eliminate the good elder brother one step before the emperor discovers this secret. It is best to find a reasonable excuse on the surface to cover up your own purpose, and to conceal the truth as much as possible.

After two years of planning, he succeeded!

He put layers of shells on his plan.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the third prince was just a mere bystander in the matter of Wu Heng. A few people at the top of the empire may have seen his role as the driving force behind it. And when they investigate further, they will find that all this actually originated from boredom? Jealousy.

——Although this has made Xiwen a love-minded person in the eyes of others, and lowered the evaluation of many people, but as long as he can cover up that secret, everything is worth it. Without the biggest competitor, no matter how low his evaluation is, he is still a leader on the road to succession.

In the end, he did succeed. Even the emperor was successfully deceived by him, thinking that all this was just a result of jealousy, and perhaps he thought he had exposed his little tricks and gave him a warning about whether it was big or small.

However, Xiwen snickered in ecstasy in his heart - he successfully fooled everyone, including the mountain-like father who had been regarded as insurmountable by him.

At the moment when Wu Heng became a crippled person, he knew very well that the other party had nothing to worry about. Even if he comes up with flawed evidence to frame the other party, his father, who puts his power and interests above all else, will help him complete the ending. Because the already deposed Wuheng is worthless, at least he won't let the emperor expose his own son for his sake.

So far, his heir status has been unshakable.

Even if the secret of the other party's life history is discovered, it is impossible for a crippled person to become the heir of the empire.

Originally, everything could have ended here, but the unwillingness, jealousy, and resentment accumulated in his heart over the years still drove him to make the move to kill him. He wants to make this person who has been bothering him for many years completely disappear from the world.

But it was this move that he didn't take to heart, but it caused a series of chain reactions, causing the current third prince, Xiwen, to fall into a lot of trouble.

He thought he had succeeded in removing a ticking time bomb that could detonate his heir at any time, and then he only needed to enjoy the glory of the heir of the empire, but the development of the situation was very different from his imagination. .

The first is that Xi Wei's accusation against him in the courtroom was very reasonable, although there was no evidence. For many, that's enough. Suddenly there were a lot of comments that were not conducive to him on the Star Online.

These unsubstantiated public opinions only bothered him for a while, and it will dissipate in a short time. But that crazy woman, Lan Yawei, seemed to be staring at him.

I don't know if it was to vent the dissatisfaction of being divorced, or to firmly believe that he killed his idol, this woman beat him at the door every three days and challenged him, and then it was a beating. He doesn't go out and makes an appointment on the star network.

Xiwen was simply annoyed by her. Avoiding and not fighting will spread the reputation of being cowardly, and after the challenge, being beaten all over by this woman is not good-looking, no matter which one will make the outside world suspect that the third prince is a scumbag.

Such doubts were even more troublesome than Xiwei brought him. After all, it doesn't matter if the empire's traitor lives or dies, even if the third prince really does take action, there are extremists who think he did a good job. But a mediocre and cowardly heir makes it difficult for everyone to let go. Can he, really, lead the empire to prosperity?

In order to avoid Lan Yawei, and at the same time to restore his own image, the third prince Xiwen simply and decisively left the Imperial Capital Star and started a tour of the empire. At the same time, he actively developed charity and public welfare activities in various places. All kinds of ways to show your face in front of people and build reputation for yourself...

The effect of this method is remarkable, and the public opinion on the Internet is gradually improving, but the price is that it consumes a lot of energy and makes him busy every day.

But at this time, Eve came to stir up trouble again.

This "sweet man", who was carefully selected by the third prince, possesses all the characteristics of "beauty and calamity".

She came from a commoner, because she admired the empire's commander-in-chief Wu Heng, and was admitted to a military academy with self-improvement. She was born with a strong sense of justice, even to an extreme point, and at the same time, she had an unparalleled beauty. It seems normal for the third prince to be attracted to a girl who has never seen this type of girl before.

When the third prince chose her, it didn't make the outside world think that something was wrong with his head, or that there was another conspiracy. It also made his "jealousy" look more reasonable.

It's just that the third prince, Xiwen, didn't expect that when this girl fell into the love trap he weaved step by step, bewitched by the tenderness and affection he showed, and lost herself step by step, relying on him with all her heart and soul. .

She is deeply in love, can't help herself? She can't bear the sudden departure of her sweetheart, even if it is for business, she has to communicate with the third prince remotely almost every day.

And when she was counting the interesting things in her daily life, or complaining that the third prince could not be by her side, the third prince became more and more bored.

In the past, he might not mind having a passionate love affair with a beautiful person who is completely attached to him, or even a fake drama. After all, his stable heir status no longer needs the support of his famous fiancee. .

But now, he urgently needs to restore his image, and he has no mood to deal with these romantic affairs.

Probably Eve was also keenly aware of his indifference, the first love she was not at a loss, so she could only contact him more frequently, try harder to intervene in his life, and even took a leave from the military academy to find him He... These things involve more energy of the third prince, Xiwen, and also affect his mood and state, and the public welfare undertakings that were originally stable and steady have been affected. Someone else took a picture of two people arguing on the street, and it was posted on the star network. It was another wave of heated discussions, of course, negative comments.

Just when the third prince, Xiwen, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and used a quarrel to completely get rid of the trouble of Aifu, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but received a contact from another person through a secret channel.

That person is Auchan, the hero of the Empire, who exposed the crimes of the former commander and turned the tide in the recent war. Now he has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general by virtue of that great feat.

But the inside story is very clear. The emperor has long been determined not to use this person again. The title of lieutenant general may be the most glorious peak in his life.

"...How could he suddenly look for me?"

The third prince, Xiwen, was a little surprised.

The careful layout of the two years is not nonsense. He has never had contact with Auchan, but has turned his hands several times to take advantage of this person. Therefore, according to common sense, Auchan should not know who is behind the scenes. It seems strange to contact him suddenly now.

This gave the third prince an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as the two met, Auchan said something that shocked the third prince: "If you let the citizens of the empire know, the so-called mutiny of the commander of the empire is basically the third prince. You're the one who led it, I think it will definitely cause a sensation, right?"

The pupils of the third prince shrank suddenly, and the palm on his side suddenly clenched tightly. Was he too late? How could Auchan know? This matter, several thoughts had already passed through his mind, and he soon regained his calm, showing a smile:

"So what? Do you dare to risk exile to expose the heir of my empire?"

Auchan frowned, feeling that the script was not quite right, it was not at all the same as he imagined.

And the third prince, who quickly calmed down, has already stood up, looked down at Auchan, and mocked in his eyes: "What? After you personally pushed the officer who pulled yourself into the abyss, your conscience doesn't exist. Did you suddenly return to your position? Or is it... just around the corner? The sense of justice drives you to die with me, the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Auchan's face flushed red: "You, you threatened me? I don't want to..."

"...Say? It's as if you didn't take advantage of it."

"Come on! If you really have enough justice and loyalty, you won't wear this lieutenant general. How did it come? You and I know best."

In the end, the third prince's gaze fell on the other party's epaulette recklessly, and his tone was very intriguing: "So, don't care what else you want, don't try to get it from me. Oh, greed Isn't it a good quality."

His voice was low, showing a strange tenderness.

After being beaten repeatedly by the third prince, Auchan's arrogance dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He murmured a few times, and suddenly thought of something, as if he was holding a hole card, and his expression suddenly cheered up again.

"Yes, I don't dare to let others know? But what about His Majesty the Emperor? Third prince, do you dare to let His Majesty know? The truth of this matter? What do I want? No? More..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice, he just thought that the third prince looked at him very funny, as if he was looking at a clown.

This made the confidence in Auchan's heart gradually weakened.

And at this moment, the third prince, who was still arrogant before, suddenly smiled and said warmly: "It makes sense. What you said makes sense. Don't worry, I will consider it carefully." I'll give you a message soon."

He smiled and nodded, looking as if he had finally compromised. This made Auchan's face excited.

After the excited Auchan left, the third prince sat down again. He quietly looked at the other party's back, and a deep murderous intent flashed across the depths of his pupils.

——Such a greedy and ignorant guy, it was very convenient to use at the beginning, but now it is a little troublesome. Who knows? What other stupid things could he do?

- Maybe it's time to find a chance once and for all.

——No, no hurry, wait for a while, wait for a suitable opportunity, arrange carefully, clear all relationships with yourself, and make everything look like an accident.

However, the accident that the third prince was going to arrange hadn't arrived yet. Just the next day after the two met, Auchan suddenly disappeared.

He disappeared so completely that there was no trace of him even in the Star Network that monitored the entire empire.

Auchan's wife said everything she knew with a face of panic: for example, her husband was very excited before, saying that he had caught the handle of the third prince, and he would definitely take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, and let his ? Career further, so that their? Home environment to obtain greater? Improvement. Another example is that after returning home that day, my husband is in a very good mood, and it seems that everything is going well...

But just that night, Auchan, who should have been sleeping at home, disappeared for no reason.

When his wife woke up to find her husband's disappearance, the first thing that came to her mind was the third prince who had been blackmailed by him. This frightened woman was worried that she would also be killed, so she first found the most authoritative media of Star Network and told everything she knew.

The third prince, Xiwen, was caught in a terrifying storm.

·

Desolate Star Territory, it was not because he was talking to Xiwei.

During this time, he remotely commanded Xi Wei to do a lot of things.

After explaining the business, Xi Wei hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "Auchan is missing, do you know?"

Originally, because he seemed to have guessed his temptation, he opened his mouth openly: "I know, the person will be sent over soon. What, do you want to meet? It will be available in a few days. you saw it."

He opened his mouth with a smile, as if it were air-freighted cabbage.

Xi Wei took a light breath: "...As expected."

A few days ago, why didn't he suddenly let him find a way to attack Auchan, and encouraged that greedy guy to suspect the third prince.

The previous accusations made by Xi Wei in the trial hall have already left traces on many people's minds. Although there is no evidence, many people believe that it is indeed the third prince who has made an attack on the former commander Wu Heng. However, everyone tends to think that this is a kind of hatred for traitors, and they don't really think about it.

However, there is a ghost in his heart? Auchan is not certain. He was very clear about Wu Heng's innocence, and knew that everything was a conspiracy. It's just that even Auchan himself doesn't know? Who is that behind-the-scenes messenger.

When Xi Wei tried every means to get him to connect everything with the third prince, Auchan felt that it made sense.

What the righteous see is light, but the greedy and despicable people only have conspiracies and calculations in their hearts, and they think that others are the same, but they don't understand the behavior of the name, the name and the profit. Compared with #三王子无无?图Just jealous of evil#, the speculation of #three princes is the mastermind behind the scenes and wants to kill everything# is obviously much more reliable to him.

With Xi Wei secretly conducting various guidance, the more Auchan thought about it, the more reasonable he felt. He even recalled a lot of details, and he believed that he was right. Suddenly, he felt that he had "guessed" the mastermind behind the scenes. Identity, grabbed the handle.

After that, Xi Wei took the opportunity to set up a few tricks for him, causing him to lose a lot of money all of a sudden, carry a huge debt on his back, and even plan him to offend a military boss, so he secretly guided him, Auchan was so exhausted, he naturally thought that the third prince could solve his troubles.

After that, everything went smoothly.

——Guiding Auchan to discover the truth, and trying every means to get him to go to the third prince to ask for benefits, is not the task that was handed over to Xi Wei. As for how to do it? It's all carefully designed by him.

However, what he has to do will end here. When Auchan meets the third prince, what should he do? Everything is considered complete.

Therefore, even Xi Wei did not expect that Auchan would disappear, and he disappeared the day after he had just found the third prince.

When all the evidence pointed to the third prince, he was the first to gain insight into the real mastermind behind the scenes.

He felt very strange.

Wanting to take away a lieutenant general in the most heavily defended star of the empire, the Imperial City, is really a simple matter.

Whether it's Star Network's monitoring system, the tight defense in the lieutenant general's mansion, or even the lieutenant general's own strength and alertness... all aspects must be taken into account.

Even if you do catch people, this is only the first step. It is the most difficult thing to take people out under the eyes of the empire.

Now it's the third day since the incident happened, and the Imperial City is under full martial law, but Auchan still can't see people or die, so it can be seen that everything is going well.

He looked at the original, unwilling, eyes that added a bit of awe.

——To be able to do such a big thing quietly, what kind of power and means should he possess?

Seeing that he didn't seem to care about his temptation, he simply asked, "Do you still have so many people on the Imperial Capital Star?" Then why was he exiled? So what about embarrassment?

Wasn't it? To chuckle: "It's just that I made a few more friends."

Xi Wei's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

As for whether he interprets it as a former network, or a newly opened network, only he knows it in his heart.

The original is not because there is not much explanation.

Tool people don't need to know too much. There is too much distance between him and Xiwei. In order not to test each other's trust, he prefers to maintain an unfathomable and mysterious image in front of the other party before ensuring the other party's 100% loyalty. , which is helpful for him to call tool people more easily.

The original considerations are not entirely unreasonable.

At least now, in Xi Wei's eyes, he seems more and more inscrutable. Unknowingly, he had a lot of expectations for Yuan Buwei, and even more and more in his heart, he believed that this person would turn the empire upside down.

...no?, no? just in the future. Not now? Has it been done?

Think about the three princes who were arrested on suspicion of murdering the imperial lieutenant general and temporarily imprisoned in the prison of the courtroom. Think about it, the public opinion that is now raging, the current "Empire" has long been This person who was far away from the empire's territory caused a huge storm.

But he seemed to just throw a chess piece at random, and then he directly made a mess of the neatly arranged chessboard!
