Slag suffers as [main attack]

The emperor was assassinated by the remnants of the previous dynasty when he went to inspect the people. It is said that he suffered some injuries. No one knows the specific situation.As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, he blocked all news.

The First Prince walked back and forth in his own palace, restless.In order for the emperor to see the threat of the prince, he used his contacts to lure the emperor out of the palace.It was originally planned to arrange a few refugees on the side of the street where the emperor went, and let the refugees behave as if they only knew the prince but not the emperor, so as to aggravate the emperor's dissatisfaction with the prince.Unexpectedly, the emperor encountered an assassin on the way, and was most likely injured...

I don't know what happened to the emperor. If the emperor's life is at stake, it will be a great disadvantage to him, because at this time the crown prince has a deep foundation. Once the emperor goes, the crown prince will be the most legitimate heir. Even if he wants to launch a coup, he will not That opportunity - he has no military power in his hands.If the emperor was only slightly injured, or was safe and sound, it would not be good news for him.When such a thing happened, the emperor must investigate the whole thing in detail.

The eldest prince didn't dare to think about what he would do once the emperor found out that he was behind the scenes pushing him out of the palace.The emperor would most likely suspect that he was in the same gang as those assassins... The eldest prince smiled wryly, no matter what, as long as he was found out about instigating the emperor to leave the palace, he would not even think about getting out of this incident!Once there is a suspicion of killing the king, let alone fighting for the throne, he may even lose his life!Thinking of what happened to the third prince back then, the eldest prince didn't dare to take any chances, hoping that he could escape because of his identity as a prince and the soft heart of the emperor.

Why didn't the third prince call out his grievances in front of the emperor, begged the emperor, and tried to arouse the emperor's father-son relationship?But in the end, he still got a glass of poisoned wine.The third prince who pays so much attention to appearance, died so ugly, with dark red blood stains everywhere, and his eyes couldn't be closed at the moment of his death... The eldest prince didn't want to think about it any longer.He was afraid that if he thought about it again, he would rush directly to the emperor's bedroom and end up with his life, so as to get rid of the source of the threat to him!

The eldest prince didn't know that the emperor's encounter today was indeed because of him.If it wasn't for the person who worked for him outside the palace to reveal his whereabouts, causing the eldest prince's every move to be exposed to the eyes of those with a heart and being used, I am afraid that the remnants of the previous dynasty outside the palace would not find a chance to assassinate .It can be said that it was the eldest prince who made them.Even if the First Prince was convicted because of this, he would not be wronged at all.

The surrounding space is deadly quiet, not even the sound of birdsong.As time passed, the anxiety and fear in the eldest prince's heart reached its peak, and a crazy idea emerged in his mind: Why can't this matter be blamed on the prince?As long as the father thinks that the prince did this, he will be safe!

That's right, as long as the crown prince is convicted, he will be safe, and it is impossible for a crown prince who committed the crime of regicide to inherit the throne. At that time, the throne will belong to him!As for those young brothers, if they dare to fight with him, they will be destroyed while they are still fledgling!

In fact, the eldest prince went to the emperor's bedroom to confess and be lenient, and to plead guilty. Although he would eat a meal and hang up, his life would not be in danger. After all, he really did not do anything to hurt the emperor's life this time.In the beginning, the third prince was directly executed because the emperor thought that the third prince was going to directly attack and take his life because of his rage.The eldest prince did not have the intention of killing his father, so the emperor would not want his life, but he would definitely not favor the eldest prince because he was too deeply involved in the case.

After all, the eldest prince did not dare to hand over his life to the emperor. Even though he did not kill the emperor this time, last time, he directly buried the explosives in the emperor's bedroom!This alone is enough for the emperor to kill him a thousand times, ten thousand times.If he wanted to survive, he had to ascend to the throne, otherwise, no matter which of his brothers ascended to the throne, this would be a clear excuse, enough for them to kill him without being convicted!

Now, the First Prince himself can't tell whether he has to fight for the throne because he was pushed into a desperate situation, or because he wanted the throne too much and pushed himself into a desperate situation.

In any case, at this moment, there is only one way for him to go.If he succeeds, he will rule the world, and all the things that troubled him, annoyed and feared him in the past will no longer exist. If he fails, he will be infamous and have nothing.

The eldest prince picked up a pen, imitating other people's handwriting and wrote a letter to the emperor, ordering the detailed work to be handed over to the emperor.

After writing this letter, he was silent for a long time before he said: "Where is the person who developed the explosives now? Go, tell him, let him manufacture as much explosives as possible for the prince in the shortest possible time. Wait After the matter is completed, this prince will reward you a lot!"

Seeing the crazy light in the eldest prince's eyes, the counselor was secretly startled.The First Prince should not act impulsively and do something irreversible.The last time, they were able to succeed so easily because of the right time, place and people. There was an earthquake, the palace people were in a panic, and no one had time to take care of them. That's why they were able to succeed easily.And now... With these people in the hands of the First Prince, it is possible to do something, but if he wants to do something without being discovered, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.

……

Before he had time to discover that there was the eldest prince's spies by his side, the emperor received a secret report, informing him that several hidden guards around him had already secretly obeyed the prince's orders.In particular, the hidden guards he recalled to strengthen the defense force around him after the third prince's treason case had been subdued by the prince, and he only had the prince in his eyes, not the emperor.After being recalled by the emperor, instead of being grateful for the grace of the emperor and serving the emperor wholeheartedly, they took advantage of their power to monitor the emperor at all times and report the emperor's whereabouts to the East Palace, putting the emperor in danger!The emperor's whereabouts were leaked this time, and the assassination was provoked, which is inseparable from these secret guards who eat inside and out!

The secret seal didn't say more details, including how the guards got rid of the inside and outside, and how the prince had ulterior motives, and he wanted to let the emperor die among the people and replace him himself, but between the lines, everything revealed the meaning of this aspect.

The eldest prince knew the emperor very well.Maybe he is not as good at pleasing the emperor as the prince, but he knows exactly how to arouse the emperor's suspicion.Under the circumstances that the emperor is suspicious by nature, he only needs to be guided well to achieve his goal.

If in the past, the emperor received such a letter, even if he did not believe it completely, his judgment would be affected by the surging anger.

After all, the presence of this letter means that someone is plotting against his life. If what is said in this letter is true, the person plotting against him is the crown prince. If this letter is false, then the person plotting against him... Even if he is not the First Prince, he is still a member of the First Prince.

The third prince is dead, the fourth and fifth princes have not stepped into the court, and the sixth prince below is young and has no strength to compete at all. They will not do such a thing.Once the crown prince falls, the only one who can benefit from it is the eldest prince. Therefore, even if the person who sent this letter to him hides his identity, it is not difficult for him to guess who is behind that person.

Now, there is almost no need to interrogate, and the emperor knows who the person who plotted his life is.

The emperor sneered, threw the secret letter aside casually, and rested his forehead wearily: "Tell me, what is the boss trying to do?"

Right now, the only one serving the emperor is the great eunuch, so this question is naturally asked of the great eunuch.

The eunuch was very proud of the emperor, and he could joke with the emperor when he was in a good mood, but now, he kept his mouth shut.His nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so how can he not see that there is no room for him to intervene in such an occasion?

If he couldn't see the situation clearly and opened his mouth relying on the emperor's little love for him in the past, I'm afraid the emperor would still have a grudge against him.

He knew very well that the emperor only needed one person to listen at this moment, and it would be best if the listener was not a smart person who could keep his mouth shut no matter what he heard.

"The slave is dull, how can the slave guess what the eldest prince is thinking?" In the end, he replied like this.

"You old bastard, you are the most slippery!" The emperor snorted coldly, but there was not much blame in his tone.If the chief eunuch hadn't had such a temper, he wouldn't have been favored by the emperor for so many years.

The emperor sighed and said: "At first I thought the boss was a dutiful person, but he was young and frivolous, and he liked to compete with the prince everywhere. I never thought that under my connivance, his hand would stretch out longer and longer. Now, even I can't even see what he's going to do."

Thinking of the third prince who was hastily executed by him back then, the emperor felt uncomfortable again.Although the clues were cut off halfway through the investigation of this matter, and there was nothing to investigate, but now, it is very difficult for him not to doubt whether the eldest prince is responsible for this.

In any case, from the time of the earthquake, the eldest prince's behavior was the most suspicious.

As for the prince, although his temper is a bit tough and arrogant, but his son is the most beautiful, even if he doesn't like his brothers in his heart, he will not openly frame them, at most he will use their faults to attack them .It didn't seem like he would do it to frame his brother to death.Then, there is only...

Thousands of thoughts flashed through the emperor's mind, and then he told the eunuch: "Go and invite the crown prince and the eldest prince over."

"Yes." The eunuch knew that the emperor must have made up his mind to resolve these unresolved matters this time, which meant that someone would be unlucky.And the unlucky one probably won't be the crown prince.

Fortunately, he had good eyesight before, and when he saw something was wrong, he resolutely separated himself from the eldest prince. Otherwise, he might be one of the unlucky people.

The chief eunuch shook his head, the secret letter from the eldest prince was really not delivered at the right time.If it was sent before leaving the palace, even if the emperor didn't believe all of it, he would at least believe half of it, and he would doubt the prince. What a pity, what a pity, what happened, the emperor will not understand a single word of the letter sent by the eldest prince right now. Believe it.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said to the eunuch: "That child...it's a pity, let's bury him alive..."

The eunuch answered with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.
