Slag suffers as [main attack]

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's doubts about you are getting deeper and deeper. If this continues, our prospects will not be good." The confidant said worriedly at the side.

The eldest prince drank a cup of tea and asked the staff beside him: "Can you find a way to solve my current predicament, sir?"

From the very beginning, he didn't expect the emperor's favor to last long.After being the emperor's son for so many years, how can the eldest prince not understand how suspicious and fickle his father is?Even if you put him in your heart today, you may turn him into dust tomorrow. The third prince is the best example.

Back then, the eldest prince also saw how much the emperor loved the third prince and mother.But now, when the issue of self-interest is involved, the emperor hastily convicted the third prince and gave him poisoned wine without even inquiring carefully. The father-son love for the third prince is not enough.Those so-called favors in the past are all false, and the truth can only be seen when things come to an end.

Although the eldest prince was behind all of this, seeing the ending of the third prince, the eldest prince still couldn't help feeling cold.He did set up a trap for the third prince, but if the emperor knew his sons well enough, how could he be deceived?Or, if the emperor really had some sympathy for the third prince, how could he be so cruel?The emperor doesn't intend to kill the third prince, so can the eldest prince force the emperor to attack the third prince?

The eldest prince's original intention was to use this opportunity to completely eliminate the third prince, not to kill the third prince, but the person who sent the third prince poisoned wine was his good father.From this incident, the eldest prince fully understood his father's suspicious and cold-blooded nature.Perhaps, he has no father-son affection for his sons at all, but that weak father-son affection is no match for his own interests.When the two conflict, the emperor will not hesitate to choose the latter.

Although the eldest prince has long understood that the Tian family has no father and son, he was still a little disappointed when he saw the cruel and ruthless scene of the emperor—the emperor's love for him for more than ten years was not fake after all, and his admiration for the emperor was also true. of.However, after this incident, no amount of Rumu would be left.

It is precisely because of his understanding of the emperor that he puts his energy on power instead of fixed favors.The love between father and son is false, and love is also false. Only power can be truly held in the palm of your hand without worrying about betraying yourself.

The eldest prince has done a lot of things recently by taking advantage of the emperor's love for him, and he has also recruited some useful subordinates.Unfortunately, before he had time to fight for more bargaining chips for himself, the emperor woke up from his manic state and began to doubt what he had done.Even if he didn't leave the slightest evidence, all the unusual things that happened around him were related to him, and he was the direct beneficiary of it. It would be strange if the emperor didn't doubt him.

Not everything requires evidence to convict, at least not for the emperor.When he wants to find fault with someone, there are many reasons.

The eldest prince did not regret everything he had done. If he hadn't fought hard when the earthquake hit, perhaps he could only maintain the state before the earthquake today, and be a prince in name only, gradually falling out of favor.Give it a go, he still has a chance, but if he doesn't, he can only watch helplessly as the throne is taken away by his brothers.

The emperor's love for him doesn't need to last forever, it just needs to last a little longer, and if he arranges the required situation, the emperor will be useless.However, the emperor's love for him faded away so quickly - they still had less time after all.

"I heard that Anwei Gui, who used to be with the prince to protect the prince, has a deep affection for the prince. Even when the prince is in danger, he can't make him let go of the prince. He even threatened that once the prince goes, he will immediately Come to serve His Highness. Someone thought that this person could be used."

"Him?" As soon as Cyril was mentioned, the eldest prince couldn't help but think that he had been severely tricked by the information given by Cyril.He was deeply skeptical about the statement that Xi Ruier admired him, because he clearly did not see the slightest love in Xi Ruier's eyes—although he did not have a regular wife, he already had many women by his side, and he thought that this There is still some vision.The information from Cyril almost made him unable to turn over.The eldest prince even began to doubt whether Xi Ruier's "surrender" was a bureau set up by the prince and himself from the very beginning, with the purpose of inviting the king into the urn.

The staff obviously also knew that the information that Xi Ruier passed on to them at the beginning made the first prince have a problem with Xi Ruier.But Cyril was such a rare breakthrough for them that the staff were really reluctant to give up.

"Your Highness, I know what you are worried about, but that Anwei Gui's mind is really simple, not like a deep-minded person." The staff said seriously: "And thinking about it, the information he passed to us at that time was also true. Yes, it’s just that we all misunderstood the meaning of it, which led to a catastrophe.”

"Sir is right, it's just..." For some reason, the first prince's eyelids kept twitching when he mentioned using Cyril.After all, it is not my own person, and it is difficult to feel at ease when using it.

Seeing that the eldest prince was still hesitant, the aides increased their tone: "Your Highness, the dark guard Gui is currently working by the emperor's side. And we have not been able to place a person by the emperor's side so far. Those spies have all been sent to do rough work , can't even get close to the emperor's body."

So what if Cyril isn't completely reliable?Just for the fact that he is escorting the emperor, he has enough wooing value and use value.

The staff believed that the First Prince would not be able to refuse this temptation.In fact, there are too few useful people in their hands.

Sure enough, the First Prince pondered for a while, and then said: "Mr. is right, I will send someone to contact Anwei Gui." Anyway, they just need to be more careful in the future.Even if the information sent by Cyril is not exhaustive and detailed, there is always something that can be used as a reference.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness—If the dark guard Gui has any needs, His Highness might as well respond first." The aide said suggestively: "In the future...it's not all His Highness's decision."

The eldest prince nodded: "Sir, I will think carefully about it, and let the envoy play it by ear."

Of course he understood what the staff meant.I'm afraid that his staff, like other confidantes in the palace, think that Cyrille is obsessed with him.They also think that they have suffered a great grievance by making false claims with Xi Ruier for the sake of the great cause.

The eldest prince stroked his chin. In fact, if Xi Ruier was really obsessed with him, he wouldn't mind playing with Xi Ruier.Regardless of the use value of Xi Ruier, he is also very happy to see Xi Ruier's face.Of course, it would be even better if she could have both beauty and intelligence.

He actually doesn't reject men, but no one knows this except his mother and concubine.

When the eldest prince's confidantes were heartbroken for their lord's "sacrifice", they didn't know that their lord was completely enjoying it, and the only thing they were worried about was that Cyril didn't like him as much as he showed.

Forget it, he didn't think about it before, but now that he has thought about it, how can he let Xi Ruier escape?

Whether Cyril really likes him or fakes him, he will make it all true.

……

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know that his family's baby was being missed. At this moment, he was sitting in the palace where the emperor lived temporarily, drinking tea with the emperor, and chatting about some political affairs by the way. The atmosphere was relaxed, like an ordinary father and son in the folk.

After drinking the third cup of tea, the prince suddenly smiled and said, "Since my son came to the court to listen to the government, it seems that I have never had time to negotiate with my father like this. I still remember that when I was young, my father liked to tell my son the most The story of King Xiang."

King Xiang is the emperor of this dynasty. Although he has no iron and blood methods, but during his reign, the officials are clear and the people are happy. He can be regarded as a rare Mingjun.King Xiang was not good at women, and he only had one queen in his life, and the two princesses and three princes who were born to the queen, it is another good story to spread among the people.

It is rumored that among all the sons, King Xiang loves his prince especially, and praises him for his ancestral demeanor. The relationship between King Xiang and the prince is even better than that of a father and son in the folk.The other two princes also admired King Xiang very much, and they had a deep brotherhood with the prince.People in the royal family mostly take King Xiang and his son as their models.However, after King Xiang, this kind of joyful scene no longer existed.

When the crown prince mentioned King Xiang, the emperor recalled the past, and the emperor's expression softened: "Yes, at that time, you were only such a small ball, and I held you in my arms, and I had to wait for time Supporting you all the time, lest you fall down mischievously."

The father and son reminisced about the past together, as if the suspicion and constraints these days were just illusions.

"In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so much. If Atan is still here, I will feel very relieved." The emperor looked at the prince with pride and sadness.

Before I knew it, an afternoon passed like this.

The prince saw that the small piece of black hem on the beam of the house was gone, and bid farewell to the emperor contentedly.

Ever since Xi Ruier was asked to return to his side by the emperor, the prince missed Xi Ruier very much.But according to Xi Ruier's status, the prince can't easily go to see him, otherwise the emperor will be suspicious, so the prince can only choose this compromise method.He deliberately chose to come to the emperor's palace during the time when Xi Ruier was on duty, and chatted with the emperor.

Even if you can't see Xi Ruier, but thinking of the two of you under the same roof, you can comfort the pain of lovesickness a little.

Because every time the prince came to see the emperor, it was not utilitarian, so the emperor was happy to see the prince.Over time, the relationship between father and son became better and better.

As for the eldest prince, he had repeatedly begged to see the emperor but failed, and when he was going to ask Xi Ruier for news, he found that Xi Ruier was on duty in the emperor's palace and had no time to talk to him at all.In a fit of rage, the eldest prince suffered disasters for countless cups.
