Chapter 605: Plan Ahead
In fact, half of this result was already expected by Xiao Diyuan, so he was not particularly shocked when he watched it, but he was also angry several times in the process of watching it.
So, why did Xiao Hong plot to get him away? Is it because he thinks Ding An is a bit stupid and wants to replace him? Obviously, this reason is not sufficient, because Ding An is not the crown prince, and he basically has no right to inherit the throne under the premise of having the prince's brother, in this case, he is more stupid to balance the sibling infighting that may occur in the future.
Xiao Hong is not stupid, this can definitely be imagined.
Well, there must be other reasons.
What could be the reason?
I'm afraid only Xiao Hong himself knows.
However, for this reason, Xiao Diyuan also wants to know, only in this way can he fully understand the ins and outs of the matter.
Xiao Diyuan looked at the information on these three pieces of paper and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xiao Diyuan looked up at Zou Twelve (Guo Ba) and asked, "Are you sure what you said is true?"
Zou 12 immediately wrote: "Sure, why am I lying to you? I don't do me the slightest benefit from lying to you, right?"
Then Zou Twelve wrote: "If you want to know why Your Majesty brought you here, you should find a way to ask him, and the reason for this should only be known to him." ”
Xiao Diyuan nodded, smiled at him and said, "Thank you!" and said, "Don't worry, you are safe with me." ”
After that, Xiao Diyuan left.
However, that same night, the person in charge of the prison hurried to Xiao Diyuan and said, "He hit the wall and died." ”
Xiao Diyuan hurriedly got up in his clothes and ran to the prison.
Zou Twelve lay straight in prison, his head was knocked out of two large holes, and the blood was still flowing out, even making the ground everywhere.
Xiao Diyuan squatted down, reached out to probe his nose, and found that he was no longer breathing. Touching his face, neck, and arms again, there was no temperature.
After a long sigh, Xiao Diyuan stood up and instructed the prison manager: "Bury him in Daewoo Mountain tomorrow, there is no need to erect a monument." ”
"Yes. ”
As soon as Xiao Diyuan walked out of the prison, Ding Cong walked forward quickly and asked with concern, "That person........ Dead?"
"Hmm. Xiao Diyuan replied as he walked.
Entering the house, Xiao Diyuan wrote a letter to Li Pei, the emperor of Zhaoguo.
He asked Li Pei to transfer Zhou Rong, Zhang Yuanfeng, and Wu Yichang to Shuguo for a period of time again, saying that there were some things that needed the help of the three of them, but he didn't mention anything to Li Pei about what Zou Twelve revealed to him.
Now is not the time to mention this, and if it is mentioned now, the relationship between the two countries will immediately enter chaos.
The incident of Zou Twelve's death in prison was soon informed to Xiao Hong by Zhuge Qingyun and Dongfang Yan in the form of letters.
The two only knew that Xiao Diyuan had gone to the prison several times to see Zou Twelve, but they didn't know what they had talked about, so they could only report the outcome of one thing.
Xiao Hong's face was very solemn after learning the news that Zou Twelve had died.
Why didn't Zou die at this time? Did Xiao Diyuan tell him something?
Naturally, I can't find the answers to these by myself, so I can only ask Xiao Diyuan.
However, Xiao Hong was not interested and did not dare to ask easily.
It doesn't matter if he is dead, Xiao Hong said in his heart, and immediately sent someone to invite the Liu family to come over and inform the Liu family of the matter.
Liu said: "Maybe that person was worried that you would send someone to kill him, so he committed suicide." Maybe he explained something to King Guangxian, and after the explanation, he felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he committed suicide. ”
Xiao Hong sighed: "Maybe it's both. Then he looked at her and asked, "What are we going to do next?"
He hasn't been in good health recently, so he doesn't have any energy at all, and this matter makes him worry all day long, which aggravates his physical and mental burden, but last month he asked Yin Heng to go back to Zhaoguo, and now he doesn't want to find a powerful doctor to see a doctor.
Liu gently massaged his shoulders and sighed, "Your Majesty, do you think King Guangxian will make further moves?"
Xiao Hong also sighed, and said with certainty: "Obviously, you think about it, when a person realizes that his identity is in doubt, how can he not chase after him? ”
Liu Shi said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, we are now in a passive situation. ”
Xiao Hong said: "So we must find a way to change from passive to active, but I really can't think of any way right now." ”
Liu: "Do you want to call the prince to discuss with us?" ”
Xiao Hong asserted: "No, you must not let him know about this matter, otherwise I don't know what kind of moth he will make." ”
After that, Xiao Hong looked at the Liu family solemnly and said, "Don't let him know the life experience of King Guangxian, don't!"
Liu thinks about it, after all, the prince is young and vigorous, and if he does something on impulse, it will be even more difficult to clean up when the time comes.
Xiao Hong coughed a few times, and said in a difficult tone: "The crown prince is not a big person with a small pattern and low ability, even if he is allowed to ascend the throne in the future, it will be difficult to support the overall situation, I am afraid that he will have to train a few capable ministers to assist him from now on." ”
Liu nodded.
Xiao Hong asked Liu which ministers he thought were suitable.
The Liu family recommended a few, Xiao Hong felt that it was not bad, and added a few more, and secretly summoned them to the Yingwu Hall the next day, and called the prince to go, and said solemnly: "My body in recent years is not as good as day by day, although I found an alchemist to refine medicine some time ago, but I still often have a strong sense of inadequacy, for the sake of safety, I decided to order the six of you to work together to assist the prince from today, so that even if I have three long and two short one day, the prince's side will not be in chaos." ”
The tone was both solemn and helpless.
Since the last time the prince ordered someone to take medicine in his meal, Xiao Hong has made up his mind not to let the prince inherit the throne, but the third prince is still young, and the identity of the second prince Xiao Diyuan is inappropriate, so he can only catch ducks on the shelves now.
The prince was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
Xiao Hong looked at the prince and said, "From today onwards, you have to spend an hour every day to learn how to govern the government from the six important ministers, and you are only allowed to take one day off a month." ”
When the prince heard this, he secretly complained, but he didn't dare to raise any objections, so he forced out a smile and responded: "Yes." ”
Xiao Hong saw the prince's awkwardness in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly from his heart.
Will the Shu Kingdom be ruined at the hands of this kid? This is Xiao Hong's biggest worry now.
In order not to make this worry happen or come too quickly, he secretly prayed that God would not let his body decay too quickly.
He knew that as long as he remained on the throne one day, the Akebono Kingdom would not fall to the point of being out of control.
