Chapter 217 The Third Prince's Deduction
Killing people is not a big deal in this world.
But killing Xu Qiao still shocked the two women!
The strength that Su Wen showed was too strong.
After all, Xu Qiao was once the top master of the Great Zhou.
But in Su Wen's hands, it seemed that he had no power to resist.
Wu Muyu walked to Su Wen's side and exclaimed: "Brother Su, what level is your strength now? You can't already be in heaven, right?"
"Status at the pinnacle of the ninth rank." Su Wen told the truth, he frowned and said, "Unfortunately, I still have no idea how to break through to the heavenly position."
Speaking of this, he said with a smile: "But I think your father is the number one person in the ninth rank. If I want to snatch it, it should be no problem!"
Su Wen is still confident.
His current state has completely exceeded the combat power of the regular ninth rank.
It's just that it is still incomparable to the destructive power of a heavenly warrior.
After killing people, it's time to play, to have fun, and to be accompanied by the beauty of the wild.
However, Su Wen still told them not to reveal their whereabouts and Xu Qiao's death.
The two women naturally agreed.
After playing for a day, the three of them returned to the city until the evening.
After escorting the two of them home, Su Wencai went back to Su Changqing's place.
When the father and son met each other, Su Wen explained clearly what had happened in Chu State during this period.
After hearing this, Su Changqing couldn't help tilting his head, and looked at Su Wen in surprise.
"I didn't expect that you kid could come up with such a strategy! It's a pity that there was no opponent like you back then, so it was very boring!" Old Su began to play B.
He smiled and said: "You shouldn't have any problems with this move. That Emperor Chu is not sure, it's too much like what the prince did. You gave Wei Song the poison, right? In my opinion, he has a 80% chance of committing suicide." , instead of biting you back, because he knows too well that if he bites you back, Emperor Chu will not spare his life, no matter what the emperor promises, Wei Song will not believe it."
"As for the prince, he should be about to die, but according to what you said, the third prince is quite a character, and it seems that the fourth prince can compete with him, which seems extraordinary."
"Next, what are you going to do?"
Su Wen said with a smile: "Of course there are two words, one is falsehood and the other is harm! All kinds of means are used to greet these two people. Since ancient times, seizing the heirs has always been the same, and it is nothing more than harming people."
Su Changqing sighed: "Tender, still tender, you forgot one thing!"
"whats the matter?"
"You should let that Xiang Feiyan go to Emperor Chu to plead for mercy! Plead for the prince!" Su Changqing said with a smile: "Since you have already given the impression of Xiang Feiyan's love in front of Emperor Chu, this time is even more opportune !"
"Let her show her brother-sister relationship well, intercede with the prince, and spare the prince from dying! One, continue to deepen her generosity and heart in front of Emperor Chu, and two, just contrast the indifference of the others."
Su Wen smiled: "Father, you are so thoughtful. Even if the crown prince survives, as long as he loses the position of crown prince, he will be nothing more than a toothless tiger. When the Chu emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, he will still be the same." to die."
"That's the reason."
"Also. You have to find a way to make friends with the servants, especially the people around Emperor Chu."
Su Wen frowned and said, "Isn't the risk too great?"
Su Changqing sneered: "You dare to seize the heir, but are you afraid of the risk?"
He explained: "Those eunuchs are all monkeys. They even see the situation more clearly than those princes, because they are the people around Emperor Chu, and they will definitely perceive some emotions of Emperor Chu."
"Once the crown prince dies, the Emperor of Chu will definitely suspend the position of crown prince, but Xiang Feiyan has the privilege of entering the palace, and he has already gained a foothold in the court. These eunuchs must be shaken."
"They are all people who are afraid of falling out of favor. There is a lot of filth in the palace. Once they fall out of favor, the end will be extremely miserable. At this time, if you go to make friends with them, they will definitely accept the benefits, but they will definitely not help you. But when it comes to Emperor Chu When you are about to die, it will be completely different at that time, a small person, sometimes you can decide big things! You have good intentions, and the other princes don't, then it will be a world of difference!"
Su Wen laughed, the old guy is still thinking ahead.
"knew."
Su Changqing pondered again: "Emperor Chu's position is still pending, and the civil servants must come to see him and force him to be the crown prince. This is certain. Didn't Emperor Chu let Xiang Feiyan go to Yushitai? They usually submit papers, and there is a high probability that Emperor Chu will stay in the middle and not send out, and Xiang Feiyan doesn't need to express his opinion, but if someone acts excessively at that time, he will play deadly remonstrance, kneel admonishment, and block the palace gate , you let Xiang Feiyan catch them and intervene with them one by one, but remember! The crime cannot be set too high, it is not observing courtiers' etiquette!"
Su Wen frowned and said, "Why?"
Su Changqing said with a serious face: "Emperor Chu will stay in the middle school. For him, it is natural to choose someone who suits his wishes. He still needs to observe and look at the successor of this country. If he decides rashly, it is not what he wants. , At that time, we can’t establish it today and dismantle it tomorrow, that would be too childish.”
"But those civil servants are different. These guys are all thinking deeply, especially those who have already stood in line, can they not be anxious? They will try to use their own influence to let Emperor Chu establish their master!"
"There are still some people who may be dedicated to serving the public. They will feel that Emperor Chu may die someday. Not setting up a crown prince is the way to bring disaster."
"But you know, for the emperor, how annoying is it to see these guys at this time? Because in their eyes, Emperor Chu is a dead man!"
"Nobody likes being treated like a dead person!"
"But also, at this time, Emperor Chu may not be willing to go to war and slaughter recklessly. After all, those who have made great achievements in life have to be famous after death, and many people are indeed dedicated to serving the public, so they can't all be killed. Letting them go, but they are too sympathetic, and Xiang Feiyan participated in their rudeness, which must be in line with Emperor Chu's wishes. Emperor Chu can lock them up, but don't punish them, and leave them to the future emperor. Forgiveness can win people's hearts, and punishment can Build majesty."
"In this way...Xiang Feiyan can gain another point in Emperor Chu's heart..."
Su Changqing looked at Su Wen and said: "You have to be cautious about taking the heirloom, but you also have to be bold! What should be done must be done, and what should not be done must be killed. The scale of the abyss is up to you to grasp."
"Understood!" Su Wen cupped his hands in response, and he couldn't help admiring: "The old man has two skills, he is indeed the one who accompanied His Majesty to win the succession."
Su Changqing squinted at him: "Who are you talking about old man? Your father and I will live for at least another few decades without any problem! Believe it or not, I will give you a younger brother and share some of your property?"
Su Wen laughed loudly: "You are always strong and strong, come on!"
Prince's Mansion, the capital of the Great Chu Emperor.
At this time, the Prince's Mansion was deserted like a haunted house.
There was no one in Nuo Da's courtyard.
Everywhere was turned upside down.
Su Wen stepped out of the void, did not close any door, but carefully released his perception outward.
After making sure that there was no one around, he put away any door.
One jumped up and rushed out from the Prince's Mansion.
Soon, Su Wen returned to the Eldest Princess' Mansion.
Just like before, he still didn't enter in a hurry, and observed the situation first.
All the lights in the courtyard were dark, only the princess's room was still lit with candles!
Su Wen leaned over, but saw the eldest princess in front of the bronze mirror, her brows were furrowed, obviously she was worried.
He dodges in.
He covered the eldest princess's mouth.
The eldest princess' eyes widened in horror, and after seeing Su Wen in the bronze mirror, she relaxed.
Su Wen just let go of his hand!
"Damn! You still know how to come back!"
The eldest princess complained: "Sheng'er has been arrested, the crown prince has also been abolished, and he will be executed all over the house. The father sent someone to check the residence of the third and fourth. If we had known earlier, we might as well get a few more dolls, one at a time." Sex is over!"
Su Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Are you crazy! Get a few more dolls, maybe he won't be punished once he clears his mind. Do you really think your father is a fool? How about Shenger?"
Speaking of Xiang Sheng, the eldest princess was even more wronged, after all, she was her own son.
"In the past few days, people have been inquiring, and I have received a lot of punishment! I have explained everything that can be explained."
As Su Wen expected, it's no wonder that a child who has been severely punished can resist.
Su Wen lay down on the bed and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
In the palace, the prince once again knelt in front of Emperor Chu.
It's just that at this time, it's already extremely embarrassing.
His hair was disheveled and his body was covered in scars.
Emperor Chu looked at him and said lightly, "You let me down very much."
"I didn't do it," the prince said weakly.
Emperor Chu sighed: "It doesn't matter anymore. You shouldn't let that thing appear in your house! Especially under your pillow! This is a matter of ability. What's more, no matter who it is, as long as you kneel in front of me, I don't think he'll even admit he did it."
"Father and son. After a while, I will arrange the wine and food, have a good meal, and go with peace of mind."
In the dark hall, Emperor Chu issued an ultimatum.
A flash of madness flashed in the prince's eyes, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Emperor Chu and cursed: "You old man! You never wanted to pass on the throne to me sincerely! What did I do? I wish you would die early, wish you would die forever!" Cut to pieces, even if I go to hell, I will eat your flesh! Sleep on your skin!"
Including Su Changqing, no one could have imagined that the prince would collapse at this time and play such a game.
Emperor Chu was so angry that his face was flushed!
People are like this, the prince also feels wronged, you make me the prince, and then, I have waited so hard for decades, and in the end you still play the test with me!
Then Lao Tzu was framed and was about to be killed!
From the perspective of Emperor Chu, I gave you decades, but in the end you are still nothing, and you are not convinced by a few brothers, and you have nothing special to do. Why should I hand over the country to you? Then you made a witchcraft to curse me to death, and you still feel wronged when you look back?
At this moment, a report came from outside the palace!
"Princess Xiang Feiyan asks to see you!"
Emperor Chu counted the days, and today is the day Xiang Feiyan should enter!
"Let Feiyan come in! Shut up this bastard first! I will deal with him in a while!"
The prince was pressed aside and his mouth was sealed.
Xiang Feiyan still carried the food box inside.
It's just that her eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying.
Xiang Feiyan also saw the crown prince, but didn't say much, she just bowed to him first, and said to Emperor Chu: "Father, my daughter knows that you are not in a good mood these days, so she made some Qingxin lotus seed soup."
Compared with the prince's mania, Xiang Feiyan is more obedient.
Emperor Chu was in a better mood, but he was not in the mood to eat. He just said, "Put it there."
Xiang Feiyan handed over the food box to the eunuch.
He bowed and said: "Daughter today, if there is something I want to ask, even if the father punishes me, my daughter will also say it!"
Emperor Chu said: "But pleading for Xiang Sheng? The child has already asked enough questions. He can go home tomorrow. He has some injuries. He will take care of him for a while and he will recover."
Xiang Feiyan shook her head and said: "That's not the case, my daughter wants to plead with Boshan!"
Xiang Feiyan knelt down on the ground and said in a sad voice: "Boshan is a good boy, even if he wants to ascend the throne, he will never persecute the father! There must be something wrong with this matter! I beg the father to see that he works hard for dozens of years." Years, spare his life! After all, he is also my daughter's younger brother!"
Emperor Chu looked at Xiang Feiyan, he really didn't expect this.
He also came from the position of prince.
He also experienced many battles back then, how could he not know that the more he wants to ascend the throne, the more he wants the prince to die.
There is no other reason, this is beyond the sky, the prince and the emperor are also father and son.
Don't kill if you make a mistake today, as long as you operate properly, you may think of the prince again one day, and you will stand back with your backhand.
But Xiang Feiyan pleaded with the prince?
"You don't want to be emperor?" Emperor Chu asked.
"Think!" Xiang Feiyan told the truth, every time Emperor Chu asked her, she would never say no.
"But even if my daughter wants to be the emperor, can't she tolerate her own brother? I also ask my father to show mercy, and Liu Boshan will die!"
Emperor Chu closed his eyes.
The difference between the two is clear at a glance.
"You have to know that the assassination of Sheng'er before was the method of your good brother."
Xiang Feiyan said: "Daughter knows, but Boshan never killed him, otherwise Sheng'er would have died long ago, he just wanted to warn me, and I also knew that I was wrong, so I strengthened Sheng'er's attack afterwards." Guards, from the looks of it now, are actually a good thing."
At this moment, Emperor Chu even felt that even his own heart might not be as good as Xiang Feiyan.
"Why"
Emperor Chu let out a long sigh and said, "Go down! Go down!"
If the prince hadn't scolded him desperately just now, maybe he would have listened to Xiang Feiyan's words and made an exception.
but now
Xiang Feiyan seemed a little reconciled, Emperor Chu glanced at her and said, "Do you want me to be angry?"
Xiang Feiyan shook her head, and obediently withdrew.
Seeing Xiang Feiyan leave, Emperor Chu waved his hand, and the crown prince was brought up again!
"Did you see! Did you see! If you have half the heart of your sister! How could you get to where you are today? If your sister doesn't intercede, I will cut you to pieces! Now, go down and have a good meal! Three Chi Bailing, I give you a whole corpse!"
The prince was suppressed.
"Bring me the lotus seed soup." Emperor Chu said softly.
The eunuch opened the lid, picked up the lotus seed soup, his eyes widened immediately, and saw a folded bank note at the bottom of the bowl.
He remained calm and gave the lotus seed soup to Emperor Chu.
When I turned around to pack the lunch box, the bank notes were already in my sleeves.
say? Sometimes it is not necessary.
tacit understanding.
Especially those who can be the close servants of the Emperor Chu, who is not a sharp-eyed person.
Xiang Sheng came out of the prison.
It feels good to have the sun shining on me again.
He felt like he was about to collapse.
These days, it really made him feel fear, fear.
Su Wen stood at the door of the boss with some servants.
The servants carried Xiang Sheng into the carriage.
Su Wen also sat up.
"How do you feel?" Su Wen asked with a smile.
"Very bad." Xiang Sheng was very depressed: "I told everything my grandfather told me, will it affect my mother?"
Su Wen said with a smile: "No, the Wei family is already dead. What's more, there is not only one kind of blood, otherwise how can it be passed on? As long as your surname is Xiang, your imperial grandfather won't care. He wants to check , itself is not this matter.”
At this moment, Zhao Jin's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Young master, look at the east side, there is a superb product!"
Su Wen immediately opened the window!
"Fuck! It's so big!"
Xiang Sheng asked curiously, "What's the big one?"
"None of your business, lie down, kid!"
Everything was as Su Changqing expected!
In the next few days, as expected, voices began to appear in the court one after another asking the Emperor of Chu to establish a crown prince.
All kinds of memorials are handed up.
Other memorials can be handled by Prime Minister Zhang Yong and others, but this kind of memorial can only be sent to the palace.
In the third prince's residence, the third prince at this time can be regarded as proud of himself.
After the prince died, his voice was the highest.
A group of ministers gathered in the third prince's mansion, and many of them were even the prince's followers.
The third prince will not refuse anyone who comes!
As long as it is a person who releases kindness, he will also respond with kindness.
A group of officials gathered together, and at the banquet, someone said: "Now Your Highness, in terms of popularity and ability, is the most outstanding one among the princes of the Great Chu. Your Majesty has been seriously ill for many days. You should establish a crown prince." , I will wait for tomorrow, and then I will sit quietly in front of the palace gate! Make sure to let His Majesty make a decision early."
"That's right! The matter of setting up the crown prince is an important matter for the country, and there should be no delay. If His Majesty has not made a decision for a long time, we must speak out!"
"The Third Highness becomes the crown prince, which is what everyone expects!"
During the banquet, everyone rejoiced.
The third prince also thought of everything, and finally, the banquet ended.
The third prince returned to the room, and a bright and beautiful woman came over, brought a basin of water, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is already well-received by everyone, and the fourth child is definitely not His Highness's opponent."
The third prince took the hot towel and wiped his face.
Sneered: "Where is it so easy?"
His eyes gradually became sharper, and he said: "The boss has fallen! But who did this thing? This method is so vicious, but it does not leak traces. The boss is afraid that he will not know who it is."
"It's me. If I think about it occasionally, if I get along in a different place, can I escape the catastrophe?"
He sighed and said: "If I don't ascend the throne for a day, I will feel uneasy! What's more, I haven't even got the crown prince yet!"
"Those guys are just grass on the wall. They fall with the wind, and they are strong and powerful. If they really make things happen, they don't know how they died."
The woman said: "Perhaps it was the eldest prince who cursed His Majesty himself!"
The third prince said in a deep voice: "I can't rule out this possibility! But I think something is wrong, that is, if he really cursed His Majesty, how could he tell Wei Song, although Wei Song did have a tendency to fall to the prince some time ago, but I think the boss will definitely not give him heart and soul, and Wei Song died afterwards, which is even more strange, and it is clear that he is going to die without evidence."
"The problem is, when the royal father sent the Imperial Forest Army, he was accompanied by a master of heaven! How did that person slip the witchcraft doll under the boss's pillow without anyone knowing it? This is also the biggest reason why the boss was punished." !"
Speaking of this, the third prince's eyes flashed with fear, and he said: "The shit pot sat on the boss, and he can't get rid of the crime, so he will be in bad luck, but it doesn't mean that the boss really did it, if it wasn't , our opponents look terrible!"
The woman smiled and said: "That is the fourth prince, besides the prince, this is it! No one else has the ability to fight anymore, right?"
The third prince sneered and said: "You are wrong, the person I suspect is not the fourth child!"
The woman asked curiously, "Princess?"
"Yes, and no, this matter, if it comes down to the reason, it still started when the eldest sister participated in Wei Song!"
"But the strange thing about this matter is why Xiang Sheng went to see Wei Song. If the eldest sister did it, she probably wouldn't let Xiang Sheng go to see Wei Song, otherwise it wouldn't be a fire."
"But Wei Song was punished, but it was obviously the father's intention!"
The woman whispered: "You mean His Majesty conspired with the eldest princess?"
The third prince nodded and said: "Only in this way can we explain why someone can put the doll under the boss's pillow in the presence of a master of heaven!"
Speaking of this, he sighed: "If the father and the elder sister conspired together, it would be very simple. The father must have promised the elder sister."
"But the eldest princess is in the court. The power is not strong..."
The third prince smiled wryly and said: "What kind of power is it in the court? The prime minister has not stated his position, and the rest of the important ministers have also kept silent. Those who really shout are those who want to rely on the merits of the dragon to rise to the top."
The woman was also a little worried by what he said.
After all, the end of the prince is already there.
"Then what is your Highness planning to do?" the woman asked.
The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "First of all, let's use these people now to force father to establish a prince! If he wants to establish a eldest sister! At that time, even if I don't object, many important officials in the court will object. It can also make father's thoughts Come out, and secondly, there is one person I must win over!"
"who?"
"Su Daqiang!" The third prince said in a deep voice: "Eldest sister tried to get involved in the government several times before, but she never succeeded, and there was nothing unexpected in her actions, but this time, after the elder sister came back, she brought Here comes this Su Daqiang, and he has become more advanced in his actions, I separated the two of them last time, but it didn't work, so it can be seen that Su Daqiang must have guessed his mind!"
The woman smiled and said: "But it's rumored all over the city that there is a relationship between Su Daqiang and the eldest princess. If you want to win him over... I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
The third prince turned his head to look at the woman, and said, "How will you know if you won't succeed if you don't do it? Men are all people who love the new and dislike the old. Is it possible that there is no way?"
"But if the eldest princess ascends the throne, he will be above one person, above ten thousand people."
"Hehe, he can guarantee that my eldest sister will never tire of him? What my eldest sister can give him, I can also give!"
