Chapter 546: Violent death
(3rd Update!) )
This news came from the Shen family's secret guard as fast as possible, and there was only one sentence in the news: The prince died violently, and the seventh prince was safe.
Such a simple news said an earth-shattering event, almost breaking the sky.
The crown prince died violently, and the crown prince Zhu Xuanming, who had been competing with the Seven Princes and was the only candidate for the prince in Emperor Chongde's heart, died so suddenly?
It's ...... It's child's play!
The prince of a country is so inexplicably gone. After Shen Du was stunned, he couldn't help laughing.
What's going on? The progress of the court situation was completely unexpected by him. He never thought that the variable in the court situation was the almost unexpected reason of "the prince's violent death".
Although the prince is a target, he is not so easy to die. Although in the case of Jiuhexiang, the prince almost had an accident, but he still saved his life. In the end, no one dared to murder the crown prince so blatantly.
Although seizing imperial power is a trick, there are also certain rules and bottom lines for trickery. If you want to kill the prince at will, you can kill the prince, then the court situation will be chaotic. Every reigning emperor would never let such a thing happen.
Because, some people even dare to kill the prince of the country, maybe even the emperor of the current dynasty dares to kill. Some people are bold, and it is hard to guarantee that such a thing will not happen.
Having said so much, it is still one sentence: the prince can be abolished, but he cannot die easily.
But now, Zhu Xuanming is dead! This fact made Shen Du speechless. What else can be said?
Even Shen Su showed a strange look. Who would have thought? Who would have thought that Zhu Xuanming would exit in such a ridiculous way as a violent death?
Especially when the crown prince and the seventh prince are fighting. The prince's violent death was even more sudden.
Therefore, the last sentence of this news is even more intriguing. The violent death of the prince is the most beneficial to the Seven Princes, and there is no need to even catch the murderer, everyone knows that the violent death of the Prince is related to the Seven Princes.
On the contrary, the Seven Princes are safe.
The emperor is not stupid, although he allowed the crown prince and the seventh prince to fight, Shen Du believed that these two people were in the emperor's hands. But apparently, the matter was out of control, and the prince died violently. The Seven Princes can still be safe. What happened to the court? Why are the Seven Princes still safe?
Shen Su opened his mouth and said: "There must be something important in the dynasty that makes the Seven Princes able to get out smoothly, or in other words, the Emperor does not have time to ask the Seven Princes about it." ”
What Shen Du thought. It's the same as Shen Su's. He thought of Emperor Chongde's body. Could it be because of something wrong with the emperor's health? So the Seven Princes took advantage of this loophole?
Shen Su frowned, nodded and said, "Most of the time there is something wrong with the emperor's body, Xu Yes...... The emperor is seriously ill. I don't have the heart to take care of the Seven Princes. ”
Lu Qing and Du Yu had talked about Emperor Chongde's physical problems a few years ago, but Shen Su never expected that just a year later, Emperor Chongde's body would deteriorate like this.
Time is too short and too short, then...... Is the situation really what they think?
Soon, they learned that they had misjudged. The reason why the Seven Princes are safe is not because the emperor is seriously ill, but because of a more severe situation.
Xisheng, the raid is Dading, and it is menacing!
Zhu Youji, the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard, sent an urgent report to Jingzhao about Xisheng's troops. And when this urgent report arrived in Jingzhao, it was the day of the prince's violent death.
The timing was too coincidental, and Xisheng's dispatch of troops was too sudden. The crown prince has died, but Xisheng's soldiers are still outside the western frontier, and it is clear which is more important at a glance.
Now that Emperor Chongde is in poor health, he is busy giving a death order to Xijiang Wei, saying that he must block Xisheng no matter what, and the atmosphere in Jingzhao suddenly becomes extremely tense.
Under such circumstances, how many people in the emperor and even the court are concerned about the prince's violent death?
If the prince was only seriously ill or injured, someone would have proposed a thorough investigation, but the prince had already died. Xue is dead, and the dead person, no matter what status or power he had in his life, is no longer worth mentioning.
This is the reason why the Seven Princes can be safe.
Here in the Shen family in Laizhou, the news that Xisheng sent troops also shocked Shen Su and Shen Du more than the prince's violent death, and also made them more worried.
"Zhu Youji will not lie about the military situation, which shows that Xisheng really sent troops. But before that, no scouts in the Western Frontier Guard could detect a trace of military information, which was too unreasonable. Moreover, the arrival of the Western Xinjiang Military Report in Jingzhao was so coincidental. It is very likely that Xisheng colluded with the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince knew about Xisheng's dispatch of troops in advance. Shen Du said this, his eyes almost cracked.
Xisheng sent troops, and the Xijiang Guard blocked it with all his might, and no one knew how this war would progress.
The soldiers are fierce, and Xisheng's dispatch of troops means that the days of peace between the two countries have been broken over the years. How can Shen Du be calm?
Shen Su's face was also extremely gray. According to their speculation, the real news of the Wuling vein is hidden, so there is at least more than ten years of peace between Xisheng and Dading. Now, just over two years, Xisheng has sent troops.
Shen Su said coldly: "I miscalculated and miscalculated the Seven Princes' desire to seize the throne. I originally thought that even if the Seventh Prince wanted to get the throne again, even if he had dealings with Xisheng, he would have a trace of Da Ding. Unexpectedly, he was so heartbroken! I don't even want the country! ”
Shen Su was so angry that his lips trembled, and a murderous aura enveloped his body. If the Seven Princes were here, he would have torn them to shreds.
Xisheng must have the hand of the Seven Princes when he sends troops, otherwise the prince will not be so clever when he dies violently. The Seven Princes did this, which was equivalent to giving Xijiang to Xisheng.
Such a traitor is not enough to atone for his sins!
More importantly, the Seven Princes are royalty, and the world belongs to the Zhu royal family. In this world, is there a person like the Seven Princes who dig their own foundations? Shen Su didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it!
The next moment, Shen Du said, "Father, the situation has become like this. I have to go back to Jingzhao. In Jingzhao, it is more well-informed than here in Laizhou. ”
With such variables as the prince's violent death and Xisheng's troops, he could no longer stay in Laizhou. Jingzhao's situation was out of control, he originally thought that there were still a few more years, but now, there was no time.
Shen Su also made a decision and said, "You return to Jingzhao immediately, and I will arrive later." No one knows what kind of situation Jingzhao is like now and how the situation will develop. Send a letter to the Wei Fu family in Xijiang quickly to know more information. When you set out, take the Nine Highnesses with you. ”
They can't stay in Laizhou anymore, and returning to Jingzhao is what they need to do most urgently! (To be continued.) )
