"The prince is dead. ”

Su Wen couldn't believe it when she heard the news.

A prince with a population of more than a billion people, who has always been the strongest empire in the world, actually died, and it was not a normal death. This is the first time in three generations that such a thing has happened.

The news is so shocking. Su Wen was a little speechless, and he was speechless for a while, which showed the shock of this news to him. After a long time, he asked, "How did you die?"

"It's not clear, in fact, there is the luck of the country, and I don't know the situation of the senior officials in the DPRK, let alone the crown prince. This news is still closed, and I also know it through the words of some people and some of my own speculations, so things should be correct. On the other end of the phone was Dao Yan, who said in a deep voice.

"It's good that the abbot knows about it, and if there is something, he can respond in time. Dao Yan reminded.

After all, this matter is too big, and the death of the crown prince will definitely have an impact on all aspects.

Especially between the crown prince and the second prince Li Zongping, in addition to himself, there is also a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism behind him.

Although Su Wen didn't get too deep, others didn't necessarily see it that way.

Especially after the death of the crown prince, many things are no longer so important.

Su Wen knew that Dao Yan was good at temple disputes, and after going to the imperial capital, he had a good relationship with many high-ranking officials and wealthy people, and some people even went to consult him.

It was not surprising that he had noticed this in a few words. Especially in such a big event, it would be strange to be unaware.

Su Wen was silent for a while before saying, "I know." ”

After that, hang up the phone.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

The matter of Jingchen and the people behind him has not yet ended, and there is such a big thing that he can't care about it at all.

But now there is not much that Su Wen can do, so he can only wait and see how the wind develops.

The only good news is that Su Wen and the second prince have a good relationship, and the two sides are on the same line.

After the death of the crown prince, now the second prince can be confirmed as the next prince, and half of his ass is sitting on the dragon chair.

……

The palace, the entire palace was silent, and the silent atmosphere was even overwhelming.

Li Zong walked in the palace in parallel, his face was sad, but his eyes showed ecstasy.

Even after his father had already expressed his attitude last time, he didn't give up, but no matter what he did, he couldn't shake his father a little. He knew that when his eldest brother sat in that position, he really didn't have any chance.

When my father was alive, I couldn't give up even the slightest opportunity.

However, even he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so long.

For half a day, he felt like he was in a dream. What he had been thinking about for a long time was so easily achieved, and he didn't do anything, so he was going to sit in that position.

"Cause and effect are really wonderful. It's time for me to sit in that position. Li Zongping remembered the cause and effect that Su Wen always hung on his mouth, and muttered softly in his mouth.

When he came to the courtyard of the side hall, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and only stopped when his eyes were red, and walked in unsteadily.

This side hall is brightly lit at the moment, and many people standing outside the courtyard are whispering, and many people have confused looks on their faces. The crown prince, who had been in support of him for more than ten years, died like this.

How does this make them good?

Seeing the second prince who stumbled over, everyone hurriedly closed their voices and moved out of the way.

Everyone knew that he would be the next person to sit in that position.

The second prince stumbled into the main hall, and when he saw the coffin in the middle of the hall, he immediately jumped up and cried.

Kneeling next to her was a woman and two children, the woman's eyes showed a complicated look, and finally bowed towards the second prince. In any case, she has no worries about her life with her two children. Now that the prince is dead, she no longer has the capital to anger the other party.

At this time, the emperor was in another room, and he had aged a lot in only a few hours, and he sat there silent, and two men stood below.

"Say it. The Emperor said in a deep voice, and there was no joy or sorrow in his voice. But if you look him in the eyes, you can see the sadness and anger in his eyes, like a volcano, on the verge of eruption.

"Yes. The two men below bowed.

One of them stepped forward and said, "The cause of the prince's death was a stab through the heart and he died on the spot. ”

As he spoke, he presented a knife with both hands.

It's just a fruit knife, the blade length is only five centimeters, but just such a knife killed the prince.

"The person who did it was the prince's bodyguard, Shi Changqing, who stabbed the prince in the back when he didn't react at all. ”

"Why. The Emperor asked in a deep voice, his fingers pinching on the armrests of the chair, making his fingers a little white.

Not only the emperor wanted to know, but everyone wanted to know why.

Shi Changqing was an orphan who was selected at a very young age to study in a special school, and then became the prince's bodyguard.

He is innocent, has never had any bad habits, has worked diligently, and has not had any problems for so many years. The prince is also benevolent to him and relies on him as a confidant. However, it was this such person who had killed the prince with a fruit knife a few hours earlier.

Not only the emperor wanted to know why, but everyone wanted to know.

How could such a person who had never had any contact with the outside world, who had never married a relative, like a dead man, do such a thing.

"Minister, I don't know. The two men below whispered.

They have already checked all the things about Shi Changqing, they have never had contact with anyone, and they have been in and out with the prince since they became the prince's bodyguards, otherwise he would not have had such an opportunity.

However, after stabbing the prince to death, he also committed suicide.

The two of them even suspected that the crown prince had inadvertently angered this Shi Changqing in some places, making him hold a grudge. But the two of them did not dare to speak out of such suspicions.

"Can't you find anything?" the Emperor still muttered, but anyone familiar with him could tell that he had endured it to the limit.

These two people can be said to be the most outstanding talents in criminal investigation in China, but after checking for an afternoon, they only said these two things that they had known for a long time.

"Bang" a teacup flew directly to a person's head, and immediately blood flowed down his forehead.

"Keep looking. After three days, if you can't find out, you can accompany him. The emperor said coldly.

"Yes. The two of them bowed to the emperor and retreated, not even daring to wipe the blood from their foreheads.

It wasn't until they left the room that the two straightened up and looked sad.

Nothing useful was found in one afternoon, and for another three days the two of them could not find anything more.

Let's go back and make a will, hoping that the family will not be implicated.

Although there has been no implication of the Nine Clans for a long time, the emperor's current state has been seen by both of them, like a silent mad tiger, if he doesn't get the news he wants after three days, no matter what kind of thing he does, it will not be strange.
