The Road to Self-Saving of the Mud Bodhisattva

Above everyone, a single thought can determine the position of life and death. For everyone, there is an incomparable temptation.

Especially for those princes, they are already at the pinnacle of imperial power, and they know the rights of that position better than anyone else, and that position is so close to them, it is within reach.

They were all born by the same father, and they all have the most noble blood in the world, so why can his brothers and they can't?

With this in mind, everyone coveted that position.

Chu Xuan guessed to some extent that the prince wanted to seize the throne. The majestic king of a country was poisoned in the palace. Except for the prince, Chu Xuan felt that other people should not be so capable of poisoning him.

When he realized this at the beginning, he hesitated for a while, but in the end he told his father-in-law about it because he liked the emperor very much.

Then, Chu Xuan secretly entered the palace again to feel the old emperor's pulse.When Dou Yanqing entered the palace again, she had the antidote secretly prepared by Chu Xuan in her sleeve.

And all of this was done in secret.

Even later, his father-in-law asked him to secretly dispense some medicine, which did no harm to people, but the effect should be similar to that of the original medicine when it was poisoned.

Chu Xuan didn't know yet, this is the old emperor trying to trick someone.

It can be said that Chu Xuan guessed somewhat about the matter of seizing the throne.

Calculating the time, without his intervention, the old emperor's illness would have coincided with the day when Qing State attacked Anguo and quickly captured several cities.

Coupled with the fact that Anguo lost the city strangely, no matter how you look at it, there are people who are doing trouble behind it.

The matter of seizing the throne can be said to shake the foundation of the country in a big way, but it is just a family matter of the royal family in a small way. How a father should deal with his son is just a matter of thought.

However, a father may be soft-hearted towards his own son, but he will never be soft-hearted towards others. In the past dynasties, how many of those who participated in the struggle for imperial power ended well?

After realizing this, Chu Xuan naturally didn't want to get involved in this maelstrom, and just took advantage of the war to stay away from this place of right and wrong.

The only thing that puzzled him was why the emperor would send out Dou Yanqing, whom he single-handedly picked, at such a pass.

And soon, when they returned to Kyoto, he knew the reason for this.

The drama in the capital was really exciting. Not long after Dou Yanqing led his troops to leave the capital, news spread that the emperor was critically ill.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor is seriously ill, so he naturally needs people to govern the country. Therefore, someone suggested that the prince supervise the country.

The crown prince was originally the heir apparent of Anguo, and the old emperor was seriously ill, so he would handle the government affairs on his behalf. When the old emperor passed away, he would sit on the throne and become the new emperor. This is understandable.

However, at such a juncture, a eunuch beside the emperor suddenly jumped out and said that when the emperor was seriously ill, he had overheard the prince conspiring with an old imperial doctor to prescribe medicine to the emperor.

The eunuch said that he was terrified when he overheard the news. He wanted to expose the prince's plot to murder the emperor, but he was afraid of being murdered. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that the death would be unclear, and he could not avenge the old emperor.

Until now, seeing all the ministers of civil and military affairs come here, he can finally expose the prince's conspiracy, and then apologize with death.

After saying that, the eunuch crashed to death on the stone pillar.

Naturally, those princes would not let go of such a good opportunity. Immediately, a minister jumped out and said that since the prince is suspected of patricide, he cannot supervise the country.

The crown prince who was proud of himself one moment and was about to ascend the throne turned into a sinner suspected of poisoning the emperor the next moment, but the crown prince showed no expression on his face.

At this time, the Seventh Prince stood up, ignored the noisy ministers, and asked the imperial doctor in a deep voice, didn't they all say that his father was sick in a hurry, why did he become poisoned now?

Hearing the Seventh Prince's inquiry, a group of imperial physicians knelt on the ground with a thud, all of them pale.

It's strange to say that the emperor was still seriously ill when they took the pulse a few days ago, but when they took the pulse these two days, he looked like he was poisoned.

And it's still about to die.

Faced with such a result, a group of imperial physicians were shocked.

If they found out that it was poison earlier, they could still think of a way, but now that the old emperor's poison was dying, they couldn't solve it at all.

If the emperor just died of a normal illness, even if they were angered, at most they would have lost their own life, but if the emperor died of poisoning under their noses, I am afraid that their entire nine clans in the Imperial Hospital would be involved.

In this way, a group of imperial doctors were dumbfounded, and each of them was terrified.

It's dead, it's dead, everyone has this thought in their minds.

But at this moment, someone said something, he didn't want to hurt his family, so this matter must not be revealed, otherwise they will all have nothing to eat!

Indeed, as long as the emperor is not poisoned, then their responsibility will not be as great as it is now, and the family will not be implicated...

Thinking of this, all the imperial doctors glanced at each other, and they all concealed the matter very tacitly.

It wasn't until the prince poisoned the emperor that the incident was completely exposed.

Facing the Seventh Prince's questioning, the imperial physicians faltered and were speechless.

Seeing this scene, the Seventh Prince couldn't figure out where he was, and was so angry that he almost killed him.

It's fine if the matter hasn't been revealed, since someone has revealed it, so naturally it can't be kept secret.

The imperial doctor was dragged down and sentenced to punishment, and soon recruited them for everything they kept from hiding.

The fact that the old emperor was not a disease but poisoned immediately scared everyone.

The most surprising thing is that one of the imperial doctors confessed that he was ordered by the prince to poison the old emperor.

The Seventh Prince naturally didn't believe these confessions. He grew up in the royal family and had seen all sorts of conspiracies. No fool would believe such a clumsy scheme.

The Seventh Prince was naturally dissatisfied with such a confession, so the interrogation continued.

However, he felt that these testimonies were useless rubbish, but others did not see it that way.

Soon, the imperial physician's confession spread throughout the capital.

All kinds of rumors about the prince poisoning the emperor spread so clearly that I didn't know that I thought those people had seen it with their own eyes.

The Seventh Prince was so angry that he wanted to raise a knife and chop everyone off.

Even though many people know that the prince did not do this, but rumors spread everywhere, it is obviously impossible for the prince to continue supervising the country.

All the ministers gathered outside the old emperor's bedroom, wanting the prince to give up the position of supervisor.

Compared to the Seventh Prince who wanted to go over and beat someone up, the prince was much calmer, asking the minister with a half-smile, who do you want to recommend to join the country?

Immediately, someone recommended the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince jumped up immediately when he heard the minister's words, and scolded the minister against his imperial brother's expressionless eyes, reprimanding the man for being uneasy and kind, expressing that he absolutely believed that his imperial brother was innocent!

Supervising the country or something is definitely not what he should do!

The Seventh Prince could clearly feel that after his words, the eyes of his brother looking at him softened a bit.

The Seventh Prince didn't feel happy, but felt his heart sink.Since when did his closest brother, the emperor, look at him with vigilance.

Even though, he never coveted that position.

As the so-called difference between concubine and concubine, the seventh prince is indeed the most suitable person when the prince is not suitable. Seeing that he is not happy, someone immediately mentioned the other princes.

Then, the fifth prince born by Concubine Cai was brought up just like that.

Some people even said that in terms of seniority, the fifth prince is more suitable than the seventh prince.The royal family is different from others. How many emperors have been born from queens?

It's just the son of the emperor and the courtiers, who become the emperor, and give their mother and concubine the title of empress. The dynasty is full of civilization, and who dares to say no?

So for the royal family, the distinction between concubine and concubine is actually not that important.

So under the leadership of caring people, there are quite a few people who support the fifth prince.

Facing the aggressive group of officials, the prince was very calm, looked at the fifth prince and sneered, "The fifth prince is really a good trick, first he poisoned the father, and then blamed Gu, do you really think that what you did No one knows? Bring someone up!"

Accompanied by the greeting from the prince, the group of people were brought up by the guards.

Coincidentally, these people turned out to be the concubines and servants of the doctor who poisoned him.

Then, everyone heard another version. The doctor's concubine claimed that her husband had been a little secretive this year, and whether he was going home to get Dabi money back.

After paying close attention, she discovered that her husband and the fifth prince were in private contact.

What's more, she also took out a large handful of banknotes, swearing that the Fifth Prince took them.

Except for the concubine, the words of the personal servant are similar, because he is a personal servant, so he knows more than the concubine, even when and when his master and the fifth prince will meet, he can tell clearly It is so clear that people feel that it is true when they hear it.

The same doctor, the same person who poisoned, but tried two sets of diametrically opposed statements.

The fifth prince naturally refused to admit it, and angrily said that the prince randomly found someone to wrong him, but the prince directly refuted it back with the same reason.

The two insisted on their own words, saying that the other party was the murderer who murdered the emperor.

The fifth prince originally came here with great ambitions, so he was naturally very unwilling to accept such an accident.If these people are allowed to go out like this, it will be really not easy for him to get that position again.

Fortunately, although he didn't expect this to happen, he was already fully prepared.

With a wave of his hand, a group of guards rushed in and surrounded everyone.

The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "Brother Dahuang, you can't tell the truth of this matter by yourself."

The prince even knew about his poisoning, so naturally he would not be unprepared. With the same wave of his hand, another wave of people rushed in and confronted the previous wave.

The prince sneered, "Is the fifth emperor trying to plot rebellion? It's a pity that today may not be as you wish."

Seeing this scene, the fifth prince didn't want to procrastinate any longer, lest the night would be full of dreams, so he said directly, "Do it!"

As long as the crown prince is taken down, and a few disobedient ones are killed as an example, he can say whatever he wants to say about what happened today.

History has always been fabricated by the victors.
