Chapter 831: Attacking the Downtrodden Crown Prince
Yang Jie was not stupid, and he had already guessed it. To be honest, he had no relationship with his father who appeared out of thin air, and after working as a widower in the yamen for so many years, he had already taken the matter of life and death lightly. , surprisingly, after hearing that his half-brother killed his father, he could sit across from him calmly.
"What do you mean by telling me this?"
"Do you want to be emperor?"
Yang Jie paused, not expecting Zhou Yun to ask this question directly, but within a moment, he also asked a question, "So what if you want to, and what if you don't want to?"
"If you want to, I will help you ascend to the throne. If you don't want to, then I will have to find someone else."
Yang Jie wanted to say something bold, but facing this man, he couldn't help but believe that he had the ability. He asked: "Why don't you sit on the throne yourself?"
Although he had Li Rong's support, Yang Jie knew very well that he had little chance of winning against Zhou Yun.
"Because I don't have long to live."
Unexpectedly, he would give this answer.
Yang Jie was silent again for a long time, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yun chuckled lightly, "I was poisoned when my mother was pregnant with me. Although I can survive with the antidote given by our father every month, my father said that as long as I am obedient, one day he will be dead." He would give me a real antidote, but when I was thirteen years old, I understood that there is no cure for this poison, so... not long ago, I killed him."
"this……"
"Of course this is possible. You don't have to expect much family affection from the emperor's family. The so-called family affection is used for calculations." Zhou Yun smiled, "I originally planned to do it on his birthday. After the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, In his eyes, he died with the most un-imperial appearance, who could tell him not to want to touch my beauty?"
Helpless, he took action in advance.
Yang Jie never thought that Zhou Li, who looked so kind, would be such a person.
Zhou Yun raised the corners of his lips and said, "I can help you remove all obstacles to ascend to the throne of God, and I can help you stabilize your people's hearts. I only have one condition."
"What conditions?" After Yang Jie asked subconsciously, he fell silent when he saw the insightful look in the man's eyes across from him.
After all, after experiencing the prosperity and freedom of power of the palace, how could we not have greater ambitions?
The corners of Zhou Yun's eyes slightly curved, and he said slowly: "Use the throne I won for you to protect the scenery and have no worries for the rest of your life."
Then, everything began to change.
A purge began in the palace, and all the old people left by Zhou Li were thoroughly investigated and paid off. Just when the resentment of the people in the palace against Zhou Yun reached its peak, his confidant Yifu was ordered to surrender to Zhou Yun. Yang Jie revealed the fact that it was the prince who killed the late emperor. Immediately afterwards, Yang Jie led the troops to kill the rebels. With Zhou Yun's death, his reputation reached the highest point and he won the hearts of many people. .
With Zhou Yunyi dead, what other opponent does Yang Jie have? Yes, the third and fourth princes are still young, who is his opponent?
Yang Jie still remembers that after the conversation that night and when Zhou Yun was about to leave, he asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise after I ascend to the throne of God?"
At that time, Zhou Yun just chuckled, looked at the moonlight outside the window and said: "At first, when I chose to let the scenery stay with me, I never thought about what she would do after I died. I just thought, I want She asked for it, and now...I suddenly regret getting too close to her, and sometimes I wonder if I should kill her and die with me."
