Chapter 727: The assassination attempt failed and then another assassination attempt. The palace cou

The plot proceeded according to the eldest prince and his men's previous plan.

Another plan of action for Prince Jiayang and the assassins was to force the king to give up the throne to Prince Jiayang immediately since several princes and grandsons were already dead. If the king did not submit, they would kill him directly.

But they didn't want to do it directly. After all, they were going to be officials of the imperial court in the future, so in order to avoid future troubles, they tried not to get involved in these dirty things.

It was just right for them to let the guards of the prince's palace who had just been captured by them to carry out this mission, and the assassins supervised them from behind.

These guards, who pretended to obey orders, had already secretly passed their plans to the three princes.

After the prince understood the plan, he made new arrangements and sent back the specific action plan, asking the captured guards to act according to the next step.

What the assassins didn't expect was that these masters had already reached a tacit understanding with the three princes and pretended to surrender.

At the critical moment, the guards suddenly launched a counterattack and engaged in a fierce battle with the assassins.

During the battle, both sides showed their strengths and it was difficult to decide the winner. Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the reinforcements sent by the three princes arrived and joined the battle. They attacked from both inside and outside, which made the assassins feel uneasy. They used poison weapons to attack the three princes' men.

However, their weapons needed to pierce the skin in order to poison the enemy. The drugs used by the palace guards only needed to be sprinkled, and the assassins who did not have time to escape would be knocked unconscious.

In the end, Prince Jiayang's assassination attempt to seize power was completely thwarted, and more than a dozen assassins were captured. After this battle, the reputation of the three princes increased greatly, and Prince Jiayang lost more than a dozen of his men.

Most of Prince Jiayang's power was reduced, which made him realize the seriousness of the situation.

He plans to stop making trouble for the time being.

But he thought that this way he could continue to be the crown prince steadily and then secretly accumulate strength.

But he forgot that his brothers were gradually growing up, and their personal abilities were also quietly developing.

It only took three short years for teenage boys to become able to compete with him. Now, his two younger brothers have built up their own power.

The third prince Wenxuan and the fourth prince Jialan both cultivated their own forces with the help of others. They originally had no intention of competing with the crown prince for the throne.

However, Prince Hongdu has been proven to be unfit to be the future king. Prince Jiayang is too ambitious and ruthless, and his father has made it clear that he wants to remove him from the position of crown prince.

So it is very likely that the future king will be chosen between the third prince and the fourth prince.

The two brothers usually get along well with each other, but as they face the possibility of competing for the position of king in the future, the relationship between them is not as close as before.

But the old king was afraid that these two brothers, who were originally very close, would become enemies because of the seizure of power, so he gave them some lectures in advance.

The old king said that given the current difficulties faced by the entire dynasty, it is impossible for one person alone to turn the country into the united one it was when the country was first founded.

So no matter which of the two brothers becomes king, the other one must play a supporting role. Only when the brothers work together can the whole country become more united and develop faster.

If brothers continue to kill each other as they did in the past and put all their energy into fighting for power and murdering each other, then the country will soon be consumed in its own internal strife and the strength that should have been used to unite against the outside world will be quickly consumed.

This kind of internal friction will make the country weaker and weaker, like a pile of loose sand. Eventually, Haribam will become a weak country that can be defeated at any time in the eyes of other countries.

The two princes were very perceptive. They listened to what their father said and thought it made a lot of sense. The old king then gave the most successful example in front of him, which was the Beichuan Kingdom.

Today, Beichuan is no longer like before, where several princes competed for the throne, leading to siege by several surrounding countries.

Now, Beichuan State is ruled by the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess and several imperial grandchildren and is very prosperous.

In addition to the fact that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have very strong personal abilities, more importantly, there is currently no other powerful force in Beichuan that can compete with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

The court of Beichuan State has the same goal and admires the ability of the emperor's grandsons to act as the government officials. They can solve problems quickly.

They will not abuse each other in the court because of the struggle for power. Ultimately, everything will be delayed. Problems cannot be solved in time.

Especially when disaster strikes, Beichuan does the best. When everyone pulls together, it is easier and quicker to resolve the disaster.

The two princes listened to the king's teachings and seriously thought about the principles behind them.

The two brothers suddenly opened up their hearts and realized that no matter who was king, it would not be an easy job.

If they rely on their own abilities, they will be in great trouble even if they take the throne. It is better for the two brothers to work together. No matter who becomes the king, the other should lend a hand to govern the country together.

The old king was very pleased, as he saw that the two princes had now eliminated the estrangement in their hearts. This was the result he wanted to see the most.

In the days ahead, the king will test the two princes' personal abilities more. Of course, now they both need to work together.

The most important thing at the moment is to enable the two princes to quickly develop their personal abilities to compete with the strength of Crown Prince Jiayang.

As a king, he also had to make his body very healthy and at the same time, gradually take over power from Prince Jiayang.

If he wanted to pass the throne to a capable son in the future, he had to deal with Prince Jiayang first.

The old king admitted that Prince Jiayang was very strong in personal ability, especially in the ability to use strategies, and he was afraid that none of his three brothers could match him.

However, what Halibam needs now is a wise, far-sighted, and broad-minded king, rather than a new king like Prince Jiayang who is ruthless, black-bellied, and ambitious.

The old king still understood the principle that "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." Their country was originally formed with the support of various tribes.

If he does not get the support of the tribes, then his position as king will be replaced by other tribal leaders.

If that situation really comes to pass, an internal war will inevitably break out in Halibamu.

In addition to the fighting among the nobles, more victims were ordinary people. The old king did not want to cause chaos in Haribam again because of the ambition and cruelty of Prince Jiayang.

The old king began to weaken the power of Prince Jiayang, while secretly examining the abilities of his two sons Wenxuan and Jialan.

The third and fourth princes also knew the old king's intentions. They worked hard to learn how to govern the country and show their talents.

In a battle against an invasion by a neighboring country, Prince Jiayang's strategy failed, resulting in the loss of the border.

The third prince proposed an effective strategy and successfully repelled the enemy. This incident made the old king look at them with new eyes, and also made Prince Jiayang realize that his position was precarious.

Therefore, Prince Jiayang decided to take a risk and tried to assassinate the third prince again. However, the two princes had already taken precautions against him.

In particular, they all knew that Prince Jiayang had assassins and dark wizards under his command. After the last explosion and assassination incident, the three brothers had been wary of the second brother, Jiayang.

Prince Jiayang's subordinates were very pessimistic about the plan to assassinate the third prince. Over the past few years, they had carried out assassination missions against the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince no less than a hundred times, and none of them succeeded.

It’s not that they didn’t work hard enough, nor that their fighting power was low, but that these three princes were always on guard against being assassinated.

Even all their assassination methods and strategies are well known.

These assassins had always thought that the adopted prince was very smart, but as the assassinations failed again and again, Prince Jiayang's power gradually weakened. The assassins now realized that the other three princes were also very smart. It's just that they didn't have the ambition of Prince Jiayang, so they never used tricks to murder others. But this doesn't mean they won't be on guard against others.

Now these three princes have been constantly assassinated by Prince Jiayang's men and have become very experienced in avoiding various assassination attempts.

However, his subordinates could not deny the decision of the foster prince, so they could only continue to plan the next assassination against the third prince.

But the Third Prince, now, not only has a powerful secret guard following him closely, but he also carries the drugs and talismans he got from Xiao Yunyan.

This time, when the third prince was out on errands, as expected, he encountered the assassin again.

Faced with the sudden appearance of ten assassins, the Third Prince and his secret guards were not in a hurry. They immediately took out the sleeping pills and sprinkled them on the assassins, while casting a protective magic circle around themselves.

Due to the high wind speed, not all ten assassins were knocked unconscious, and four of them were not poisoned. They quickly attacked the third prince with poisoned hidden weapons.

However, with the protection of the protective magic circle, the assassins' hidden weapons were blocked outside by the energy shield.

The assassins had no way to deal with the invisible magic energy shield.

The wind direction in the wild was not very stable, and the wind that had just blown away blew back again. It happened that the trace amount of drugs carried in the wind was enough to knock out the assassins who had not been knocked out just now.

Therefore, the assassination attempt on the third prince failed again.

The secret guards under the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince had already bought many drugs, spells and hidden weapons from Xiao Yunyan's shop. These things were specially approved by Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan to help them deal with various assassinations by the subordinates of Prince Jiayang.

Therefore, when the assassin came to assassinate this time, he not only failed to complete the mission successfully, but also lost his life.

After the assassination attempt failed, Prince Jiayang knew that his situation was becoming increasingly difficult, and his subordinates became less and less trusting of him.

But he couldn't stop. Once everyone left him, he would have no chance of winning. So he decided to speed up the planning of a bigger conspiracy.

At the same time, the third and fourth princes discovered Prince Jiayang's plan and decided to join forces to fight against him.

At a banquet in the palace, Prince Jiayang pretended to be drunk, but actually poisoned the wine. He took advantage of the drunkenness to talk about brotherhood and invited the two brothers to drink with him.

But the third and fourth princes had already seen through his trick. They swapped the wine glasses and used the same trick against Prince Jiayang, causing him to suffer the consequences.

After being poisoned, Prince Jiayang fell into madness. He indiscriminately attacked people around him and the scene was in chaos.

The third and fourth princes took the opportunity to expose Prince Jiayang's crimes, allowing everyone to see his true face.

Prince Jiayang would not admit it, of course. After he sobered up, he argued that if he was the one who poisoned the person, he would have taken the antidote in advance. How could he have an attack and become crazy immediately after drinking the poisoned wine?

When the old king learned about this, he was furious and immediately ordered Prince Jiayang to be placed under house arrest.

Prince Jiayang did not resist, but the forces behind him were planning a palace coup.

The old king did not know the follow-up plans for the domestic princes. He only knew that after this period of training, the third prince and the fourth prince had made progress.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan had previously advised the old king not to deal with Jiayang too early, but to use Jiayang's various strategies to train the abilities of the third and fourth princes. As this plan progressed to today, the old king felt that he had achieved the effect he wanted.
