The eldest prince Zhao Tianyi was a little stunned, I don't know why the head of the Zhou family in Huaihe County suddenly appeared in his mansion at this critical moment, could it be that they have already decided to choose a position and stand in line to stand here Thinking of this, Zhao Tianyi's face was full of smiles, and he asked curiously: "Providence and Lord Zhou had no intersection before, and suddenly appeared in the mansion today, I don't know what is the important matter?"

Lord Zhou Yu Zhou smiled, and then his face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "If you go back to Your Highness, Zhou Yu came today to send His Highness back to heaven at the behest of His Majesty." ”

"Bold Zhou Yu!" Zhao Tianyi was furious when he heard this, and scolded coldly: "Zhou Yu, do you know what you are talking about!"

"Your Highness is angry. Lord Zhou Yu's face did not change, and he said slowly: "Zhou Yu knows what he is talking about, and he also knows what he is doing. ”

"Impossible, impossible. Zhao Tianyi was a little flustered, and he said helplessly: "Father, the emperor, his old man loved me so much when he was alive, he couldn't send someone to kill me, you lie, Zhou Yu, you lie!"

Looking at Zhao Tianyi's flustered appearance, Zhou Yu didn't know why he suddenly felt a perverted feeling in his heart, he looked at the young man in front of him who had infinite scenery and high status, and said lightly: "Your Highness, of course the first emperor will not send someone to kill you, but the Celestian Era is already in the past, and His Majesty the new emperor will ascend the throne, of course, he must clear all the obstacles on this road." ”

"New Emperor?" Zhao Tianyi's eyes lit up, and he scolded angrily: "Bold Zhou Yu! The state funeral ceremony of my father's emperor has just ended, and there is no will for anyone to inherit the throne, where is the new emperor of the current Chu State?

Zhou Xingyun, who was beside Lord Zhou Yu, smiled when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "Your Highness, do you still think that you can sit on that dragon chair?"

Zhao Tianyi is the great prince of the Great Chu State, how could he have been insulted like this, his face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Zhou Xingyun's face and scolded: "The six clans of Huaihe are just a few dogs raised by my father, what kind of thing are you, Zhou Xingyun, and you dare to mock His Highness?"

Before Zhou Xingyun could speak, Zhou Yu pulled out the long sword at his waist, handed it out neatly, and sent it into the chest of the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, I originally wanted to give you a decent way to die, but I didn't expect you to bite people here like a mad dog before you left, so don't blame me Zhou Yu for being ruthless. He glared at the eyes of the eldest prince with an angry look on his face, and said slowly.

A sharp pain came from his abdomen, Zhao Tianyi looked down in disbelief at the long sword that had been half-inserted in front of his chest and the hands that held the hilt of the sword, a stream of hot blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he wanted to open his mouth to scold something, but found that he could no longer make any sound, the pain eroded his consciousness, and he soon felt dizzy, as if the sky was slowly falling.

In this short period of time before he died, a lot of pictures came to his mind, he thought of his mother, the hard-working woman who had never pursued her happiness in her life, and he thought of his father,

The generation of Mingjun who was named Tianxi in that era thought of many of his past events, and finally these memories ended on the hateful face in front of him.

He felt very humiliated, felt very unwilling, like Zhou Yu and Zhou Xingyun, in the past, he wouldn't even look at it much, but now that his father has just left, they began to come to his palace so presumptuously, and even carried a sword into his chest.

At this time, he began to miss his father who had just left this world, and suddenly found that he had lived under his warmth from beginning to end, and had never grown up.

Zhao Xixuan can tolerate his willfulness and his unscrupulousness, but Zhao Tianyuan and Zhao Tianming cannot, Zhao Tianyi closed his eyes forever and fell in the corridor of Qingwangfu, he was not able to fulfill his long-cherished wish to ascend to the throne of Chu when he was dying, and even the way he left this world was so humiliating, even his uncle Zhaoxi Chengdu, who was killed by his father outside the Qinglong Gate.

"Yun'er, send someone to clean up and put His Highness in the ground. Zhou Yu pulled out his long sword, his face was a little ugly, after all, he was the prince of a country, and now he died in his hands, he also had a lot of pressure and melancholy in his heart, so he walked through the corridor to the shore of Jiulong Lake, the housekeepers and servants of the Qingwang Mansion were slaughtered by him before the prince returned to the house, and the corpses were all tied with stones and thrown into this Jiulong Lake, the water of the lake was extremely clear in the past, and there was already a little blood at this time, and the breeze blew across the lake and blew the white hair on his temples, Zhou Yu sighed, and then threw the sword in his hand into the lake。

His hands were stained with the blood of the great prince, he was not in a hurry to wash it off, every change of era was inevitably stained with dripping blood, just like when the first emperor succeeded to the throne more than forty years ago, Master Yang Xiudao also shed blood in Qinglongmen, he was just an inconspicuous small role in the era of Zhao Xixuan, but he hoped that in the era of Zhao Tianyuan, he could become a pivotal role in the Great Chu State like the original national teacher.

If you want to get something, you always have to pay something, and for this reason, Lord Zhou Yu doesn't mind being infamous for slaughtering the royal family.

......

......

Qingwangfu has always been strictly disciplined, and ordinary people have no chance to enter the palace at all, so the news that His Royal Highness the Great Prince was killed by the Huaihe Zhou family did not spread quickly in Yingtian City, but the news that Li Erhe, the former secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Du Wenqi, the former waiter of the Ministry of Works, were poisoned in the capital after attending the state funeral ceremony, and soon spread in the capital.

Some people say that the two adults are grateful for the holy grace of the first emperor, and their grief is difficult to suppress, so they both committed suicide by taking poison, just to catch up with the pace of the first emperor, but this statement was quickly rejected, and the first emperor punched these two big men who had been in power to the bottom of the world, they are afraid that it is too late to hate the first emperor, where will they take poison and commit suicide to accompany the first emperor to leave this world?

There are many smart people, in fact, they have already thought of the reason, these two adults are the people of the eldest prince, and now they suddenly died in Yingtian City, it must be related to the battle for the throne between the three princes, and His Royal Highness the second prince has never made any movement, so many people although they don't

dared to say it clearly, but he had already focused on the little prince's destiny.

At this time, in the little prince's mansion, General Ding Liyi Ding's face was a little unpleasant.

As the supreme commander of the military of the Great Chu State, the state funeral ceremony of the first emperor, he naturally wanted to participate, at this time General Ding's face was very ugly, firstly, the first emperor had the grace of promoting and knowing him, and he also had deep feelings for the first emperor, after participating in the state funeral ceremony, his mood was very sad, and his mood was also very chaotic, and there were some reasons, that is, Li Erhe and Du Wenqi were suddenly poisoned in the capital.

The two people are the people under His Royal Highness, so they first ruled out the suspicion of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness has always been low-key and extremely low-key, if he is not familiar with His Royal Highness the Little Prince, I am afraid that he will be like most people, thinking that His Royal Highness the Little Prince must have done these things, but now that he is by the side of the Little Prince, he knows that it cannot be done by him, so there is only one answer.

The culprit who poisoned Li Erhe and Du Wenqi must be the people of His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The meaning of the first emperor, the general has always been very clear, so in the battle of Mangcang Mountain, he will take such care of His Royal Highness the little prince, but the first emperor left too suddenly, and he did not even leave any edict, so if His Royal Highness the little prince wants to ascend the throne, he will definitely have to go through some twists and turns.

In the past, His Royal Highness the Great Prince never hid his idea of wanting to be the emperor, but the second prince did not show this intention, so everyone, including the general, thought that His Royal Highness the little prince's opponent was only His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and now the cold second prince intervened again, and the situation became more and more chaotic.

"Your Highness, do you have any ideas now? He asked faintly as he sipped a bowl of hot tea from a cup on the table.

Zhao Tianming's eyes were red, and there were some undried tears in the corners of his eyes, it was obvious that after the state funeral ceremony, he still secretly shed tears, when the general looked at him, he could clearly feel that since he came back from Mangcang Mountain, this young man has really grown a lot, and now that the first emperor is dead, Zhao Tianming has grown into a person who can provoke the country's pillars.

Presumably, the first emperor will be sincerely relieved to see his youngest son in the sky now, the general thought in his heart.

Zhao Tianming said in a deep voice: "The death of the two adults, most of them are related to the second brother, my second brother has endured for more than 20 years, and now he has suddenly exerted his strength, it must be a thick accumulation, and he has enough confidence to win in this battle, and he has climbed the Jinluan Hall to sit on the dragon chair, plus he is a descendant, he has an innate advantage, based on this alone, the eldest brother has nothing to compare with him." ”

"But the heir that the first emperor wants has always been Your Highness. The general said solemnly: "I know that His Royal Highness is obsessed with cultivation and does not have much interest in snatching the throne, but you can't live up to the last wishes of the first emperor, and you can't live up to the future of the entire Great Chu Kingdom." ”

"You have to fight, for the sake of the first emperor, for the Chu country, and for you. The general stood up, looked sincerely at the eyes of the little prince, slowly knelt down, and said seriously: "The military of the Great Chu State will always be the most loyal supporter of His Highness. ”
