738 Why?
Although he has not waited for the death of the fourth child, the opportunity is fleeting, and the tenth prince knows that he can no longer wait.
Wait a little longer, and this good situation may be reversed -- in the last few days, the ministers who have returned from a fat year have become more and more excited, and every day they have to make countless folds to ask the eighth child to be the crown prince.
Of course, his good starling thought that this matter was already a foregone conclusion—but the Tenth Prince knew that unless he really watched this opportunity slip away, and saw that his father could not withstand the menacing offensive of his courtiers, otherwise, it would be really difficult to say.
Can't wait! He decided to get his hands dirty.
It's just that when he made a decision, he couldn't help muttering carefully in his heart: "Life is really big!" Don't let him come back to life like last time. ”
Although the news he arranged to report from the inside line in Qidi has been quite good. Although the fourth child has been dragging on and has not died, it is not much different from death.
This also made the entire Qi Wangfu not have a good time for even a year.
The generals who had already quietly surrendered to him and their soldiers surrounded the Eighth Prince's Mansion at a lightning speed.
When the Eighth Prince heard his subordinates report this, he thought they were lost.
He walked out and saw the old ten who had been by his side all along, before and after the saddle, and did not treat himself as a prince at all.
But the current Lao Shi, and the Lao Shi he knows, seem to be two diametrically opposed people.
The old ten, with a simple smile on his face, admired him the most, and he was the one who was the elder brother. As long as he is the elder brother, even if he says that the moon in the sky is small and the stars are big, and the sun rises from the north...... Lao Shi will also think that it is true, and bravely defend what he said, against anyone who dares to say that he is wrong......
But now, the young man in front of him was magnificent, dignified, full of ambition, and stood at the front of the group of people with great confidence, with a faint mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at himself mockingly.
Is he really the old ten who tried his best to please himself before?
The Eighth Prince was at a loss.
Did you recognize the wrong person? It took a lot of effort to finally pull so many of his brothers off the horse...... However, he put the most poisonous snake by his side?
How blind can I do such a thing!
The Eighth Prince took a deep breath, seeing that success was in sight, he couldn't give up.
He tried his best to control his state of mind, as if he couldn't see so many fierce and vicious soldiers with weapons behind Lao Shi, he showed a smile that was no different from usual, and greeted: "Lao Shi is here?" It just so happened that my brother was going to eat here...... Have you eaten it? There are several dishes you cooked today, and they are your favorite food......"
"What do I like to eat? I've never had a meal I like at your place. Lao Shi said mockingly, "Starling, you don't have to think of any tricks, it's useless, I'm here this time for my father, and for my brothers who died unjustly......"
What the hell is he talking about...... But the Eighth Prince's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "Those things that are none of my business...... Ah, I see, you did all that! You don't have the confidence that your father will be able to make you crown prince, and even if you kill me, you won't be able to line up, so you must not only kill me, but also kill them in advance, and plant their deaths on my head......"
"Edict!" Lao Shi didn't expect Lao Shi to figure out so many things in an instant, and he was a little flustered. Although all of Lao Ba's words are likely to be treated as nonsense, being exposed in front of so many people still makes him a little embarrassed.
He immediately screamed.
A father-in-law lowered his head and held a scroll with a jade scroll in his hands.
The holy decree is also divided into levels, the first grade is the jade shaft, the second grade is the black rhinoceros horn shaft, the third grade is the gold shaft, and the fourth grade and below are the black horn shaft.
Although the eighth prince has not yet been crowned king, as the heir to the throne and the most hopeful now, the inner court will certainly not spare a small jade shaft.
The Ten Princes took the bright yellow scroll from the hand of the eunuch who was half-kneeling on the ground, and deliberately glanced at the old eight, who had been standing tall and proud in front of him, and saw that his face was gray and devastated, so he gently unfolded the scroll.
The Eighth Prince was originally lucky, but now when he saw the edict, he knew that everything was over.
Even, he didn't even know how he was defeated in the hands of Lao Shi!
Lao Shi's voice came faintly, but he couldn't hear it in his ears at all, only a few words, struggling to drill into his mind: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says ......"
“…… The Ten Sins ......" Lao Shi's voice became louder and louder, but the Eighth Prince became more and more inaudible. All he could do was feel a rumbling in his ears, a sound that gave him a terrible headache and made it impossible for him to concentrate at all.
He looked at Mr. Liu pleadingly. Mr. Liu is very smart, and there must be a way to cure him for this tinnitus......
But he just saw Mr. Liu kneeling there obediently, listening to the Ten Princes read the holy decree.
The Eighth Prince blinked, feeling a little weird. Isn't Mr. Liu his own strategist, he is about to be pulled down, as a strategist, he should be very miserable...... How can you be so calm and so well-behaved?
Something seems wrong......
"You brute who eats inside and crawls!" The Eighth Prince roared, got up, flew towards Mr. Liu, clenched his fists, punched and punched, and smashed hard into Mr. Liu's body.
The Ten Princes frowned and looked at the holy decree in his hand, which old scholar drafted this, how could it be written for such a long time, there was a fight over there, but there was still half of it on his side!
Whatever! No one listens to it anymore anyway!
The Eighth Prince shoved the edict into the hands of the eunuch who was obediently serving, and loudly announced: "As a prince, the Eighth Prince is an unpardonable sin...... The emperor personally decided to kill him on the spot! ”
The soldiers behind him all raised their bows and arrows, and as soon as the commander gave the order, one sharp arrow after another shot towards the chaotic crowd in the middle.
The Eighth Prince had no regard for his own safety at all. The entire Eighth Prince's Mansion was surrounded and solid, and there was no way for him to escape.
His body shook, let go of the left hand that was holding Mr. Liu, released his tightly clenched fist, slowly stood up, turned around, and looked at Lao Shi.
Mr. Liu was beaten very hard by him, and his face was happy when he saw that he finally let go of himself.
But immediately, he looked at the Ten Princes in shock.
Why, why?
Why did he kill himself? If it weren't for his own help, would he have the ability to deal with the Eighth Prince so quickly?
However, he could take all these questions to the ground, and wait for the day when the Ten Princes also arrived there, and then question him.
He fell backwards slowly, dead and dead.
