The third prince's mansion, the third prince learned that the emperor was addicted to drugs, and immediately packed up and went to the palace, "What happened to the father? Where is the fifth child? What's the matter with him?" On the carriage, the third prince asked the eunuch who came to inform him.

"Third Prince, don't panic. Your majesty's addiction is not deep. As long as you get rid of it, you can get better. As for the fifth prince, your majesty has an order to order the fifth prince to study at home and keep his filial piety, and he doesn't have to go to the palace to serve the sick."

The third prince nodded, and did not delve into the inappropriateness of this order. It stands to reason that he is the empress's son, but it turned out that it was the fifth prince who wanted to keep his filial piety at ease, not him. The third prince was secretly happy. What does he mean!Moreover, a cold look flashed in the eyes of the third prince. How could a person who is pampered by his father and has never suffered a little bit get rid of addiction?

The third prince doesn't know the addictive effect of this rice sac, but he has seen others give up alcohol, it is really a life that would be worse than death, put it on the emperor, based on the third prince's understanding of the emperor, he must be angry, Let the palace people send enough medicine to take it, quit? !joke!

What will happen if people don't get better and continue to eat rice sacs?Addiction deeper?Or will it cost lives? !It is necessary to find out the drug before making a decision. If it can damage people's health or even cause death, he has to make a plan early.

However, without Qi Cheng, Jiang Chuan would not be used by him, and all the guards in the palace obeyed his father's orders, and he had almost no generals in his hands, so what could he use to compete with the fifth child? !The third prince is restless, and now he only hopes that his father can write an edict to pass on the throne to him, and give him an orthodox name. If the fifth child really rebelled, then he can accuse the fifth child of treason with a word of mouth, and then If you stick to the palace and call on the soldiers around the capital to encircle and suppress him, you won't be afraid of these things.

Orthodox, orthodox...

The third prince wants it in name, but the fifth prince wants it even more. This is also the reason why the fifth prince has clearly controlled more than half of the capital, but he has not really figured out what to do and continues to endure the emperor.

No matter how wise and powerful a king is, once he gets the wrong position, he will always leave a stigma in the history books, and even there will be endless rebellions in the country, just because of that sentence, he won't get the right position!

The third prince's expression flickered, turning his thoughts, and soon, the carriage entered the palace, the third prince trotted into the bedroom, Liu Tai knelt in a corner, and the eighth prince cried like a cat with a colorful face lying on the side of the bed, kneeling around There was a circle of trembling imperial physicians, each with pale faces.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and when he saw the third prince, he forced a smile and said, "Here we are."

"My son, please see..."

"Get up quickly, come here." On the dragon bed, the emperor waved to the third prince.

The third prince had never experienced such preferential treatment since he was an adult, and he felt flattered for a while, and even went back to his childhood when he was hugged and coaxed by the emperor.

The third prince bowed his head and walked quickly, his eyes were cold. When he was a child, he still felt that his father liked him. After growing up and being treated coldly day by day, he gradually realized that his father actually only liked those who did not treat him well. Threatening people, only sons who are not threatening, he will be stingy to show a little father-son affection. Once the child grows up, his wings are hardened, and he has his own thoughts, in the eyes of the father, he immediately becomes an enemy.

"Royal father." The third prince secretly pinched his thigh, squeezed out tears, moved to the side of the bed, and shouted with tears in his eyes.

"Good boy." The emperor raised his hand and touched the third prince's head, "I have wronged you these days."

The third prince shook his head, puzzled, where did he feel wronged?

"The fifth one is really too bad. He even arranged for that Jiang Chuan to plot against you and damage your reputation. Don't worry, Father understands and won't misunderstand you."

Er...Jiang Chuan should really not be sent by the old five, he really took a fancy to me.The third prince didn't expect his father to be so suspicious!But he won't explain it to the Fifth Prince!Then he pinched his thigh again, tears rolled down from the pain, and his legs trembled a little, "Father understands my grievances, so I won't be wronged..."

The third prince lay down on the bed, wiped his eyes fiercely with the back of his hand, until they turned red, he raised his head again.

Only then did the emperor get to the point, "I'm sick, you know it too, it's just that when the illness is being treated, the affairs of the court..."

The third prince's eyes lit up, and he slightly opened his eyes wide.

"I'll take care of it for you first. From today onwards, you will supervise state affairs. When I recover from my illness..."

"Yes! My son will definitely live up to my father's expectations!" The third prince immediately nodded and said quickly.

Dissatisfaction flashed across the emperor's eyes, but he could only hum. He couldn't still hand over the task of supervising state affairs to the fifth child at this time, so he didn't have to take the throne. Moreover, he always used the third child He and the fifth child check and balance the court, and he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, but these days, the power of the third child has weakened, and even the direct descendants around him are almost lost.

How can the emperor see that the fifth prince is the only one, and now he has to recuperate from his illness, so he took advantage of the situation and temporarily handed over the government affairs to the third prince, hoping that he can take advantage of the situation and reorganize his power, so that he can compete with the fifth prince on an equal footing. In order to continue to sit firmly on his throne, he doesn't need to worry too much about government affairs. The two princes' disciples are rushing to do those trivial matters, and they are better than doing them well.

This is his consistent way of governing the country. As for what is emptied and how many pure ministers there are in the court, the emperor does not consider these issues. That's what he wanted.

After finishing the affairs, the emperor asked the third prince to step down, and the third prince was not willing to wait any longer, so he withdrew.

After walking a long way, the third prince asked: "Why are those imperial physicians in the sleeping hall still there? According to the emperor's temperament, they should have been dragged out and beheaded long ago?"

"Who says it's not! It's not that there is a young master Liu in the dormitory, who is the companion of the eighth prince. He happened to be there when the accident happened. When His Majesty was angry, he persuaded His Majesty, saying that killing all the imperial physicians would be a relief. But who will heal His Majesty? This temporarily saved the heads of these imperial physicians, and let them perform crimes and meritorious deeds first. If His Majesty is safe and sound, they may still save their lives. If they can't be cured..."

The third prince understood and nodded. "No wonder."

……

Shao Qing came to the fifth prince's mansion anxiously. Seeing that the fifth prince was still nesting in the study, it seemed that he had really obeyed the emperor's order, and even stayed in the study. It's a state matter." So hurry up and worry about me!Think of a way!

The fifth prince glanced at Shao Qing with a smile, put down the book, "I guessed it a long time ago."

He is powerful, while the third prince is weak. Over the years, the father has always used that trick to help whoever is weak until their power can be balanced.Today, too.

"Then what should we do?!" Shao Qing frowned.

"It's different now." The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "He wants to supervise state affairs, so let's see if he is willing to supervise state affairs."

The key to balance is balance, but maintaining balance is not so easy. If one side adds a lot of weight, it will lead to an imbalance. When the balance is already out of balance, what if the other side adds weight?

One Jiang Chuan voted for him, and the other abandoned Gu Gaoninghou. When these two weights fell, even the people under the third prince's family felt sad and the prospects were bleak, so they tried to vote for him.

The result of this chess game has been decided, the opponent has no pieces on the chessboard, what can he do if he is asked to move three times without any pieces?

"It seems that His Highness already has an idea." Shao Qing felt a little relieved.

"The third child is no longer able to make waves, the key lies in His Majesty, if he recovers, or leaves an edict to pass on to others..." The fifth prince pondered for a while.

Shao Qing's eyes flashed fiercely, "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"

The fifth prince hooked his lips, "Shao Qing, do you know what you are talking about? He is the king."

"Your Highness is my only king!"

The fifth prince stared at Shao Qing for a long time, then chuckled, "What if the princess has an heir?"

"Your Highness is still my only master!"

The fifth prince got up with a sigh, and walked over to help Shao Qing up.

……

In the sleeping hall, there are no outsiders at this moment, the emperor left Liu Tai and the eighth prince here, the emperor said: "Liu Tai, tell the truth, do you think I was murdered this time?"

"Your Majesty is referring to...who?" Liu Tai knelt before the collapse and asked in a low voice.

"The fifth child, or the third child, or anyone else in the imperial court, people in the harem may also be, or someone in the imperial hospital deliberately led the imperial physicians to harm me due to personal grievances!" The emperor clenched his fists and hit the bed, his eyes widened. Boss, said through gritted teeth.

Liu Tai lowered his head, "Then around His Majesty, who else do you think can't harm you?"

"They are all possible! Everyone has their own little thoughts, and everyone may be someone else's spy! One step at a time, they lure me into the bait and want to seize my power!"

"Then... what about the grassroots?" Liu Tai asked.

"You won't, if you will, I won't keep you. You were born in the countryside of Han County, and you have nothing to do with the court for three generations. Although your biological father knew the prefect of Han County, he was arrogant and refused to submit to the powerful. I would rather teach in the countryside than go to an old friend, I believe in your family education! Besides, I ran into you within a few days after you came to the capital, you don’t have time to surrender to anyone, and you can’t catch their eyes.”

"Did Your Majesty check the details of the grassroots people?" Liu Tai looked sad.

"If I don't investigate, who else can I trust?! Look at the things I have entered, there are layers of checkpoints, and there are people testing poison everywhere, and they have been killed so far!"

"But Cao Min stayed at the Du family, and the Du family is related to Marshal Qi."

The emperor was silent for a while, "So, you are also the fifth child?"

"Of course not! The grassroots are only loyal to the king, and to the people of the world! My father said that if you want to study for fame, you should be upright and upright, serving the country and the public."

"Okay! That's right! If those people think like you, I can make the world peaceful even if I rule over it. Unfortunately, there are always very few people like you."

Liu Tai wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. These days, he also realized how self-willed this king is. This is not the wise king in his mind, but who could be?Liu Tai fell into a daze, he seemed to understand why his father insisted on returning to his hometown, and he refused to continue to obtain fame in the exam, or go to Tao Taishou.

Since ancient times, many sages and sages were poor and humble, let alone our generation is lonely and straight.

Liu Tai lowered his head and remained silent.The Eighth Prince suddenly leaned over and pulled Liu Tai's sleeve, and called "little brother". Liu Tai's eyes fell on the Eighth Prince, and his eyes softened a little.

"Little brother, will Father be okay?" The Eighth Prince's face was full of worry.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with the protection of gods and Buddhas, he will be fine." Liu Tai smiled.
