Chapter 2098: Counterattack
After all, the crown prince has always done a good job in grasping his own power, grasping the court situation, and winning over courtiers. Although several princes were ready to move, the prince acted without deviation or softness, and everything was handled well.
It shows that the prince still knows the importance in his heart, and he will not make mistakes because of his beauty, so Master Qin will not say more.
However, Qin Taishi was obviously relieved too early, and the fifth prince was assassinated in the capital.
And the evidence shows that it was sent by the prince to do it.
The fifth prince naturally wanted to complain to the emperor, but it was strange to say that the original evidence was untenable by the prince, and since the evidence was not strong, it naturally could not cure the prince's crime.
However, Qin Taishi was very angry, assassination is too inferior, this is fighting for the throne, fighting is a stratagem, each has its own strategy, the soldier is not bloody, and the assassination is like a child playing tricks.
Although this trick was played very cleverly, and he almost succeeded, and he stabbed to death a stand-in for the five princes, and the evidence was insufficient, the prince successfully escaped, but after all, the five princes did not die.
Master Qin didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and scolded the prince severely.
The crown prince said that he was very aggrieved, and he did not send someone to assassinate the five princes.
Although he didn't want the five princes to die immediately all the time, this was in the capital, and if he was not careful, he would lose all his efforts, and it would be too risky to use such a straightforward method.
However, after he denied it, he was a little stunned and remembered something.
Last night, when he was going to go to Yunyu with Xia Zirou, Xia Zirou whispered with a worried face: "Your Highness, Rou'er knows that Your Highness has great ambitions, you have been so worried about the affairs of the King of Chu these days, and the concubine can't help, I just want to serve Your Highness well, and I can relieve the slightest boredom in His Highness's heart, and Rou'er is also happy!"
The crown prince was in a fiery mood, and he didn't want to say at that time: "What King Chu, the palace will immediately send someone to kill him!"
However, whether this order was passed out at that time, and the battle with Xia Zirou was fierce, he didn't remember it clearly, so at this time, he didn't have any confidence.
However, although the evidence of this matter is insufficient, and his father did not punish him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be dissatisfied with him, and in addition, the relationship with the fifth child is even bad on the surface.
But sooner or later, he didn't care.
What he was worried about was Lao Wu's counterattack.
Sure enough, I was worried about what was coming, and the next night, there were also killers sneaking in the prince's mansion, a total of four killers, who directly touched the prince's permanent dormitory, and killed several palace maids and guards in the dormitory.
It's a shame that the prince stayed in Xia Zirou's courtyard that night, otherwise, judging from the blood flowing in that place, if the prince was there, he might have been killed.
The crown prince was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately ran to the palace to find his father to call the shots, and he insisted that it was the fifth prince who did it.
This matter is not small, the emperor was furious and sent the commander of the right capital of the Praetorian Guard to investigate, and there were indeed clues pointing to the five princes, but again, although there were clues, it was not enough to be convicted.
The matter was naturally over, but the crown prince and the five princes were all frightened, although they were originally fighting for that position, at least there was harmony on the surface, but now they are directly sabre-rattling, and they have begun to fight-for-tat in the court.
However, they didn't dare to go too far after all, at least under the emperor's nose, they still had some scruples.
