Little emperor

Princess Changle sent people to watch Princess Anlin and Princess Yuehua respectively.Knowing that Princess Yuehua sent something to the two Ye family lords, she immediately prepared a generous gift and asked people to stay near the Ye family.As soon as Ye Dalang and Ye Erlang came home, he stopped them outside the door and gave them gifts.

"These two gentlemen of the Ye family are different from their father." Concubine Xie said slowly.

Commander Ye is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, not easy to touch.Never accept other people's things.Even if it is a gift, it is something worthless.The whole person is like an iron bucket, which is tightly guarded against others.

Princess Changle nodded, and said softly: "Maybe through them, we can persuade Commander Ye to help us. How about we marry the Ye family?"

Concubine Xie shook his head: "Let's see if the first year's banquet goes well. If the first year's party goes well, the Xie family may consider marrying the Li family, the He family, and the Zhao family."

Whether the little emperor's throne can be secured depends on whether the first birthday banquet goes well.If there is no vassal king to do things, the little emperor can secure the throne.The eldest princess of Changle can stay to fight for the custody of the little emperor, and the Xie family will also choose one of the assistant ministers to marry her politically.The emperor is young, this is the opportunity for the family to rise.The aristocratic family can help one side of the court to quickly crush other forces and control the court.

The Xie family planned this, and the Wang family must have the same idea.Princess Changle worriedly said: "Why don't we test the attitudes of the Li family, the He family, and the Zhao family first?"

She was worried that the Wang family would take the first step, negotiate with one of them, and form an alliance earlier than them.

Concubine Xie smiled lightly and said: "Now the Wang family and the Xie family, whoever moves first will get into trouble first."

Now which side can't hold back, jump out first to form an alliance with the court officials.It will be targeted by several other ministers.What's more, no one knows whether the little emperor can secure the throne.Therefore, the Wang family will definitely not make the first move.Both the Wang family and the Xie family are waiting for the birthday party to end.If the little emperor could not sit on the throne and one of the vassal kings usurped the throne, the court would definitely be changed.Then there is no need for the Wang family and the Xie family to form a political alliance with the auxiliary ministers.

The feudal king usurped the throne, the throne will definitely not be stable in the short term, and the Wang family and Xie family will not assist such a person.What happened next, the two will not care.No matter who will be the emperor, the Wang family and the Xie family don't care.What they were waiting for was an opportunity suitable for the rise of the family.Whichever emperor can succeed to the throne in a legitimate way, reuse the aristocratic family, and give the aristocratic family power, the aristocratic family will assist the other party.

The eldest princess of Changle pondered.

The aristocratic family doesn't care which emperor succeeds, but they do!They are royals after all!Blood relationship also pays attention to closeness.Therefore, they certainly hope that their nephew can secure the throne!I also hope that the family can help their nephew secure the throne.In this way, it is beneficial to everyone.

But she also understands the family's attitude.They don't care about the life and death of the emperor, they only care about the interests of the family.Before the emperor gave the family power, the family would never help.So Princess Changle was very upset.She is willing to help the Xie family because of her own children.Never thought of hurting the emperor's nephew.She wanted to talk to Princess Yuehua about this matter and help her little nephew secure the throne, but this younger sister didn't want to see her at all now!

Now all parties are calculating and waiting to see their royal family kill each other.But the royal family, knowing that everyone is watching a play, is still willing to be an actor and perform a big play for everyone to watch.In the face of interests, there is no such thing as family affection and righteousness!No wonder people in the world say that people born in the emperor's family are cold-blooded and ruthless.

Princess Changle looked deeply at Xie Consort, and asked seriously: "The Xie family really don't want to protect His Majesty?"

Xie Consort shook his head at her.

Taking a deep breath, Princess Changle closed her eyes.

After Consort Xie left, Princess Changle wrote a letter.Let the maid find a way to send it into the palace and hand it over to Manager Wang.

Director Wang confirmed the process of the first-year banquet with the Ministry of Rites in the morning, and went to the venue to check several times in person. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked Xiao Ma to take Lu Erniang and Ma Bao to the scene for a rehearsal.

Unexpectedly, an assassin appeared on the scene!Someone attacked Ma Bao!Fortunately, Xiao Ma protected Ma Bao with his body!

For a while, the scene was in chaos.

Li Taifu and others received the news, their old faces turned pale with fright, and their hands trembled.Even knowing that the little emperor didn't go to the scene, they still feel scared!If he hadn't prepared a double in advance, the person who had the accident might be the little emperor!

In order to protect Ma Bao, Xiao Ma was stabbed in the back.

The deputy commander imposed martial law on the palace, searched every corner of the palace, and detained all the people present in the palace for interrogation.

Commander Ye was still catching up on sleep at home, and when he received the news, he immediately woke up.After patting his face hard a few times, he quickly changed his clothes and hurried into the palace.

"Your Majesty! Are you all right, Your Majesty?"

When Ye Dalang and Ye Erlang saw him, they replied: "Your Majesty is fine. He has been staying in the Long Live Palace. Mrs. Hui carried Ma Bao to the other side. The little eunuch Ma was injured in order to protect the child."

Princess Yuehua's maid and Princess Changle's maid have been waiting near Ye's house.When it was time to be on duty, no one came out of the imperial city, and they realized something was wrong.I had no choice but to go back and tell Princess Yuehua and Princess Changle about the matter.

"Something must have happened to His Majesty!" Princess Changle's expression changed.

Their emperor's father and emperor's younger brother are all gone.If even the emperor's nephew is gone, who can the two eldest princesses rely on?Rely on their consorts?Hehe, once they are no longer useful to the family, will the family still respect them?Even their children are thinking about the interests of the family.They don't care about the panic in their hearts at all.

Princess Yuehua had the same idea as Princess Changle, and the two hurried to the palace regardless of dressing up.

This time they met outside the imperial city, and the two did not quarrel.At this moment, the panic in their hearts is interlinked.Others don't understand their feelings, but they understand each other.

However, they were stopped at the gate of the palace.The guards did not allow them to enter the palace.

Princess Changle's face was serious, she stretched out her hand to grab Princess Yuehua, and dragged her aside.

Princess Yuehua was already in a bad mood. Being dragged by her annoying elder sister, she directly yelled angrily: "What are you doing! Let me go! Let me tell you, I am very annoying now! I don't want to quarrel with you!"

"Sister, I am in the same mood as you. I don't want to quarrel with you now. If something happens to His Majesty, we will be in the same situation. You also know the attitude of the Wang family and the Xie family towards the royal family. The father and the emperor are here. At that time, they were willing to respect us and treat us well because they gave them face. Now we are allowed to come to the capital because we can help the Wang family and the Xie family seek benefits. Once something happens to His Majesty, someone who has a bad relationship with us will sit on the throne , we are useless to these two big families, will they still respect us?"

Princess Changle spoke seriously to Princess Yuehua.

Princess Yuehua remained silent with a sullen face.

The Princess Changle said again: "My clothes and your clothes were left in the palace. I believe that no matter how much our sisters quarrel, we will not frame each other. If our sisters turn against each other because of this matter, we will be proud People are aunts! Now, I beg you to be more sensible and face the current situation with me. We must protect His Majesty! With Your Majesty here, the Xie family and the Wang family will respect us as before!"

After hearing these words, Princess Yuehua gradually calmed down.

After a while, she asked aloud: "We can't enter the palace now, what can we do to protect His Majesty?"

Princess Changle took two steps forward, leaned close to her, and whispered in her ear: "I know that the Xie family has raised a group of dead soldiers, and the Wang family must have raised dead soldiers as well."

Princess Yuehua said in surprise: "So what? They will never lend us people!"

The princess of Changle continued: "I wrote a letter to the prince. The prince certainly does not have such a person in his hands. But he can be asked to talk to the Wang family and the Xie family. The prince manages the harem and takes care of your majesty. If he speaks , the Wang family and the Xie family will definitely give him face and lend him someone."

"And then?" Princess Yuehua listened seriously.

Princess Changle said in a low voice, "Kill those feudal lords who have different intentions."

Princess Yuehua: ...

"How do you know who has a different heart?"

"The ones who have different intentions are nothing more than those few people, King Qin and King Zhao. Kill the group of vassals with the closest blood relationship. The other vassals will definitely be honest and dare not take any action." Changle Princess Changle replied.

Princess Yuehua frowned, and said in a low voice: "If this is done, will the relatives of these murdered vassals rebel? Moreover, if the Wang family and Xie family know that the prince is using the dead to assassinate the vassal king , they will definitely not agree!"

Princess Changle looked cold, and said indifferently: "If they dare to rebel, the imperial court can send troops to suppress it. So what if the Wang family and Xie family know about it after the fact? If a scholar assassinated their lord, these two families will become the target of public criticism. Therefore, these two families will only keep it secret and will never spread it. Moreover, after the incident, they have to be loyal to His Majesty! Once they are disloyal to His Majesty, The prince will announce the matter to the public. The two big families will still be the target of public criticism."

As long as these two big families are loyal to the little emperor, they will always respect their two eldest princesses.

Princess Yuehua understood what Princess Changle meant.Let Manager Wang borrow people, and then directly attack those vassal kings without telling the two families.Use the hands of these two families to deal with the vassal king.In the future, these two families will be tied to the same boat as the little emperor.Will definitely protect the little emperor!

After thinking for a moment, Princess Yuehua said in a low voice, "I just don't know if the prince will do this..."

"We paid and spent a lot of money to let him do this. He must agree. Changing the emperor is not good for him. Now His Majesty is young, and the harem is managed by him. He has so much power in the palace. What do you think? Is he willing to give up these things? He will do it, whether it is for money or for power." The eldest princess of Changle said firmly.

Princess Yuehua nodded, and then the two sisters began to discuss how much money they would spend to serve Manager Wang.

The assassin disguised himself as a member of the Ministry of Rites and entered the palace.The officials of the Ministry of Rituals were miserable, they were all detained in the palace, and they could not leave the palace until the first year banquet was over.

Although they knew that the little emperor was fine, Taifu Li and the others pretended to be panicked and ran to the Long Live Hall to have a look.

After a busy afternoon, many people did not eat.It was Gu Yang who reminded them that Director Wang asked the imperial dining room to prepare meals and let everyone eat hot meals before leaving the Long Live Hall.

Commander Ye felt uneasy when such a thing happened.He planned to let his two sons live in the palace to protect the little emperor.

Ye Dalang and Ye Erlang didn't make any preparations, and stayed in the palace directly.

After dinner, Ye Erlang remembered that Princess Yuehua's maid might still be waiting for them outside, so he mentioned something to Mr. Wang.

Manager Wang didn't have the heart to deal with them at this time.Let the small table take people to the scene of the first-year banquet arrangement, and carefully re-check it a dozen times.

Sure enough, the little table found several dangerous things.Manager Wang was so angry that his face was gloomy, and he wished he could grab the feudal king who was doing it and tear the opponent's skin!

Qin Wang was stared at by the people of 'Wen Wang' and had no idea what happened in the palace.Zhou Shangshu came again, he grabbed the king of Qin by the collar and asked if the king of Qin arranged for someone to enter the Ministry of Rites to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the emperor.

The people in the Ministry of Rites were arranged by the King of Qin. He didn't expect to have the opportunity to attack the little emperor so soon, but of course he couldn't admit that he did it!So pretending to be innocent, he asked Zhou Shangshu what was going on.

Zhou Shangshu avoided the opponent's face, sneered and beat him up.

"This king is a prince after all! How dare you assassinate this king! You even did something to me!" King Qin was extremely angry.

Zhou Shangshu kicked him again, and said with a sneer, "So what if I hit you! After King Wen sits on the throne, I will be under one man and above ten thousand!"

King Qin glared at him sullenly.He gritted his teeth and said, "This king understands. King Wen never thought of using this king to do things, just to imprison him! He suspects that this king is fighting with him, but this king has no such thoughts at all!"

King Qin originally wanted to hold his breath, but after the death of the little emperor, King Wen surfaced, and when everyone mistakenly believed that King Wen had murdered the little emperor, he jumped out again and eradicated King Wen in the name of justice.Only by winning the position like this can he be recognized by everyone.But King Wen humiliated and bullied him again and again, which made King Qin almost unbearable.He even suspected that King Wen might kill him before the birthday party!

Zhou Shangshu stepped on King Qin's chest, stared at him coldly, and said disdainfully: "When the emperor was here, he said that King Qin has no talent for governing the country. Even if King Wen sits on the throne, he will not use you again." ! What are you! If you were not born in the royal family, you are not as good as a street peddler!"

King Qin's face was livid.His hands were clenched into fists, and a sense of humiliation filled his heart.

Because of this sentence, King Qin has hated the late emperor for more than ten years, and has been cultivating dead men, looking for opportunities to assassinate the late emperor.Finally, let him succeed!It was originally thought that after the death of the first emperor, it would be his turn to take the throne, along with King Zhao and King Liang.Unexpectedly, on the day the first emperor was assassinated, the little emperor was born!The King of Qin felt that it was God helping him.Dealing with a child is much easier than dealing with the other two brothers!Wait for him to clean up Liang Wang and Zhao Wang first.If you attack the little emperor again, the throne will be his!

Unexpectedly, King Wen, a young junior, also developed ambitions.And he has already won over one of the ministers!The person King Qin hates most now is King Wen!I can't wait to kill the other party immediately!

Zhou Shangshu thought that King Qin would jump up and beat him, but he didn't expect this man to be quite patient.He was so angry that he couldn't stand up and struggle.

After thinking for a while, he continued to irritate the King of Qin: "You are such a waste, even if you get the throne, you can't govern the country well! It's better to give it to a useful and talented person like King Wen! Only King Wen has the ability to sit on the throne! To govern What a great week!"

I don't know whether Zhou Shangshu stepped on it too hard, or King Qin was over-stimulated and his heart hurts.His whole body convulsed violently, looking as if he was about to die.

Seeing this, Zhou Shangshu paused, retracted his foot, kicked King Qin's arm, and said to him, "What are you pretending to do! Get up!"

King Qin was originally staring at his eyes, but when he rolled his eyes, he suddenly passed out.

Zhou Shangshu: ...

He bent down and went to pinch the other person.

no response?

Zhou Shangshu hesitated for a moment, and kicked King Qin down.

Seeing that King Qin was still awake, Zhou Shangshu hurriedly asked the doctor to be called over.Immediately after going out, tell Taifu Li and the others about this.

After Li Taifu found out, he said flatly: "Zhou Shangshu is kind, and even asked the doctor to save him."

Zhou Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Shouldn't it be saved?"

Zhao Youxiang said speechlessly: "Save him and give him a chance to take revenge on you?"

If King Qin was tossed to death by Zhou Shangshu, it would be regarded as one less harm.

Zhou Shangshu: ...

He sat down and said to them: "I have angered King Qin so much, but he didn't even show that kind of thought. Is he too calm, or he doesn't have that kind of thought at all, and we misunderstood him?"

Taifu Li shook his head, he was sure King Qin had something wrong.Zhao Wang was attacked by a group of masters half a month ago and was injured, so he did not go to Beijing to attend the little emperor's first birthday banquet this time.Liang Wang, Qin Wang, Zhao Wang.These three are brothers with the first emperor, if something happens to the little emperor, one of them will be elected to succeed him.But Liang Wang fell off his horse and died, Zhao Wang was assassinated and injured, only Qin Wang was safe and sound, and he came to Beijing to attend the first birthday banquet, which is enough to prove that the other party is the most suspected!

He Zuoxiang said: "After King Qin wakes up, let's see what he will do!"

If King Qin wakes up, he will attack King Wen.Then they have a reason to punish King Qin!

The next day, Manager Wang received a letter from Princess Changle.

Of course, Princess Changle would not directly tell Manager Wang the plan in the letter, she just asked Manager Wang to meet in private.

After staring at the letter with deep eyes for a long while, Director Wang returned to the bedroom, and said to the little emperor with a kind smile, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Changle asked Laonu to go out to meet her. Do you want me to go out to meet her?"

Gu Yang shook his head, with a serious expression on his face, and said seriously to Mr. Wang, "No!"

Just after the accident happened to the substitute, the Princess Changle invited Director Wang out of the palace to meet him. If Manager Wang had an accident outside the palace and no one in the palace was in charge of the overall situation, there would be chaos!

If there are still assassins lurking in the palace, if they seize the opportunity to attack, then Gu Yang will be in danger.

However, Princess Changle said in the letter that there was a way to secure Gu Yang's throne, and Manager Wang was tempted.

Gu Yang told Manager Wang: "She's coming!"

At this time, letting the Changle Princess enter the palace will definitely attract attention.If something happens, Princess Changle will definitely be noticed.The other party asked Manager Wang to leave the palace for an appointment. If something happened to Manager Wang, Princess Changle would have a reason to defend herself.Gu Yang was worried that Manager Wang would leave the palace at this time.Either Princess Changle enters the palace to talk about something, or don't talk about it!

Director Wang smiled, patted the little emperor's head and said softly, "Okay! The old slave will obey His Majesty and let her enter the palace."

Then, Manager Wang sent someone out of the palace to call Princess Yuehua and Princess Changle into the palace.

The two sisters received the news and hurried into the palace together.

Director Wang asked others to withdraw from the Long Live Hall, leaving only him and the two eldest princesses in the hall.

The two sisters first asked about the situation of the little emperor, and after confirming that the little emperor was fine, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Manager Wang took out the letter and asked Princess Changle: "Our family received a letter from your Highness. It is a special period, and it is inconvenient for our family to leave the palace, so please enter the palace to confirm the matter."

When talking to Princess Changle, Manager Wang used his peripheral vision to observe Princess Yuehua's reaction.

Princess Changle didn't look at Princess Yuehua, and directly admitted the matter, and said frankly: "I wrote this letter. I do have a way to make His Majesty secure the throne. I just don't know if the prince is willing to help? "

Seeing that Princess Yuehua was not at all surprised by what Princess Changle said, Director Wang understood that the pair of sisters had already talked.It seems that now they have dispelled their suspicions about each other.

Director Wang asked: "I wonder what method your Highness has?"

Princess Changle told him: "Both the Wang family and the Xie family have dead soldiers. If the prince can persuade these two families to lend you the dead soldiers to assassinate some vassal princes, your majesty will be firmly seated on the throne. No one will dare Conspire to usurp the throne at the birthday party!"

Manager Wang: ...

He lowered his eyelids and thought about it.

If it is possible to use the hands of the Wang family and the Xie family to eradicate several vassal kings.Really deterrent.This method is simple and crude, but it cannot eradicate the dark forces of the vassal king.If these forces, assist the prince of the palace to plot rebellion.For the court, there is still a certain danger.

Seeing Director Wang's silence for a long time, Princess Changle couldn't help but analyze for him: "After assassinating King Qin and others without telling the Wang family and Xie family, these two families will be angry when they know about it, but they will definitely serve His Majesty in the future! They I have no choice! This move not only got rid of several feudal lords, but also won the loyalty of the Wang family and Xie family, killing two birds with one stone! Your Majesty's throne will definitely be secure!"

Manager Wang shook his head, and replied: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. Except for the vassal kings, they haven't eliminated their influence. Cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots will cause infinite harm!"

As for the dead soldiers of the Wang family and the Xie family, Director Wang certainly wanted to use them.But now is not the time to take advantage of these dead men.What's more, these two are really naive.The slayers cultivated by these two families are of course loyal to the Wang family and the Xie family, how could it be possible to deceive the Wang family and the Xie family and assassinate the feudal lord.

Seeing that Mr. Wang did not adopt her plan, Princess Changle's face darkened, and she asked Mr. Wang: "Eunuch Wang also knows what the situation is now. There are dangers and undercurrents. The sky may change at any time. Knowing that there are people who covet the throne, but they don't do it." Deal with them. The prince's loyalty to His Majesty is nothing more than this!"

Director Wang smiled and responded: "The two Highnesses care about His Majesty and want to do something for His Majesty. Our family understands. Our family is naturally loyal to His Majesty. It's just that this plan is really inappropriate. If you need your Highness's help, Our family will definitely find the two Highnesses. It’s just that right now, the two Highnesses had better do nothing and help.”

This remark angered Princess Changle, her face turned ugly.

Princess Yuehua was thoughtful, thinking that Mr. Wang and the others must have other arrangements.So tell them not to do it!

"It's our sisters who are worrying too much. Since His Majesty is fine, we can rest assured. For matters in the palace, the prince will be in charge!"

After finishing speaking, Princess Yuehua took Princess Changle and left the Long Live Hall.

The author has something to say:

Manager Wang: These two are finally looking like aunts.
