Chapter 1756: On the Edge of the Cliff
Although Ji Shaojun was settled, the three princes were also detained, but I and the eldest prince are not stable, and there is a fourth prince is a strong opponent, according to the previous survey, the support rate of the four princes far exceeds that of the eldest prince and the third prince, if the clan conference is held normally and votes normally, then the final winner may be the fourth prince,
Then what is in front of us is a multiple-choice question, like the three princes, choose mutiny, or choose to accept fate,
I believe that at this moment, everyone in the Great Prince's Mansion will not be willing to accept their fate, it makes no sense that we have worked hard to settle the three princes, but in the end let the four princes pick up a big bargain,
After some praise, the eldest prince went straight to the point, got to the point, and said: "Although the third child is finished, but we still can't relax, tomorrow the clan meeting will be held normally, and then it will enter the voting mode, according to the previous survey, the fourth child's support rate is the highest, so we have to find a way to solve this problem,"
When Xiao Rengui heard the words of the eldest prince, he frowned and said, "The voice of the fourth prince is indeed very high, we should really be careful,"
Xiao Rengui hadn't been involved in much of our actions before, so he didn't know much about the details.
The eldest prince looked at me and said, "Xiao Kun, you know the fourth child best, what do you think can be done?"
I thought about it for a while and said: "Eighty percent of the death of the Taiping Guanguan is related to the four princes, now that Liu Yihang has been arrested by the police, we can find a breakthrough from Liu Yihang, if Liu Yihang confesses and says that the mastermind who killed the Taiping Guanguan is the four princes, then we only need to announce the results at the clan meeting tomorrow to win, but the difficulty is that Liu Yihang is not a fool, confessing to the four princes is equivalent to selling himself, and he is finished, so it is difficult,"
Xiao Ming said: "It's not easy to make him confess, as long as he is tortured, I don't believe how hard he Liu Yihang can be,"
I shook my head and said: "It's impossible now, the matter of the third prince has caused quite a stir, and now it is not only the royal family's affairs, the government will also intervene, and the people are in the hands of the police, we have no interrogation power,"
Xiao Ming said: "Then what you said is not the same as saying it in vain,"
I said: "This is just a way to do it, in fact, the fourth prince should have been secretly happy in the back now, as soon as the third prince falls, his chances of winning will rise in a straight line, almost nine times out of ten,"
The eldest prince said: "No matter what, we must not allow the fourth child to ascend the throne, no matter what way we try, we must win,"
Xiao Ming said: "Or let's prepare to assassinate, as soon as the fourth prince dies, the eldest prince will naturally become the heir to the throne, Your Highness, this matter can be handed over to me, and it is guaranteed to be completed,"
When I heard Xiao Ming's words, I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart,
Xiao Ming is too arrogant, the fourth prince is such a simple character, he also has many masters, and there is also a Zhu Shangrong in charge,
In my estimation, Zhu Shangrong's strength is not under Xiao Ming, and the possibility of Xiao Ming wanting to assassinate the four princes is almost zero.
However, although I felt that the probability of Xiao Ming's success was very low, I didn't say anything to stop him, he wanted to die, and I was naturally happy to see it happen.
The eldest prince frowned and said: "Assassination of the fourth, if it was some time ago, then it is still feasible, now that the situation is so tense, he will definitely be very careful, the probability of success will be very low, it is better not to take such a risk,"
Xiao Ming said: "But if you don't take an assassination action, what else can you do to deal with the four princes?"
This is the biggest problem in front of us, how to bring down the four princes,
The eldest prince thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, tomorrow Xiao Kun will gather the people of the Shenwei Camp to stand by, and then he will see the opportunity to act,"
I heard the words of the eldest prince, but in my heart I understood the intention of the eldest prince,
He is not willing to fail, saying that he will act at the opportunity, but in fact, he has already made a plan, and if he loses the election tomorrow, he will do whatever it takes.
If I do this, I will embark on the same path as Ji Shaojun, either succeed or become a benevolent, there is no other possibility,
Thinking about this question, I can't help but feel my scalp tingle,
If I hadn't seen Ji Shaojun's fiasco in person, I might not have had such a reaction, but after seeing Ji Shaojun's fiasco, I know very well that if you want to mutiny, the probability of success is less than one in ten.
Ji Shaojun has such a powerful firepower, under the deterrence of the three falcons, he still chose to give up resistance and avoid senseless sacrifices, and my Shenwei battalion does not have the ability to fight,
After the meeting ended, the eldest prince left me alone in the study to talk.
He beckoned me to sit down, then handed me a cigar and said, "Xiao Kun, you are my most trusted person, I won't hide anything from you, I don't have any chance of winning tomorrow's election,"
When I heard the words of the eldest prince, of course I wouldn't be naïve to believe it,
He is just enveloping me now and asking me to work for him, in fact, the person he trusts the most should be Xiao Ming, not me,
It's not that Xiao Ming is more loyal than me, but that I have unconsciously committed a big taboo, and my merits are high.
Many times the outside only recognizes me, not the eldest prince, and he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
And the greater my power, the greater the threat to him,
Coupled with those foolish things with the eldest princess, the eldest prince has to eradicate me.
Xiao Ming is actually just someone the eldest prince has found to be ready to replace me,
I now seem to have infinite scenery, and it is very likely that I will be made a marquis, but in fact, I have walked to the edge of the cliff, one wrong step, what awaits me is the abyss from which I will never recover.
I said, "Your Highness, I understand what you want to do,"
The eldest prince said: "You have to be ready, if you lose the election tomorrow, you will assassinate the third child immediately,"
I wondered, "Didn't you just say that the chances of an assassination success are not very high?"
The eldest prince sneered: "It's outside, if it's inside the venue, then it's a different matter, tomorrow you will still be responsible for maintaining order on the scene, as well as security protection, so there are many things that others can't do, but you have a great chance,"
As soon as I heard the words of the eldest prince, I understood, and said, "Your Highness wants me to arrange for a killer to lurk at the venue, and once the election fails, the third prince will be assassinated immediately,"
The eldest prince smiled: "That's right, you really know a little bit, you don't need me to explain anything, I can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to you,"
When I heard the words of the eldest prince, I felt unprecedented pressure, the crime of assassinating the third prince is not small, once it is discovered, all my efforts will be in vain,
And I suspect one thing, the eldest prince didn't let Xiao Ming assassinate the third prince, and let me do it, not because he could afford my ability to do things, but because he laid the groundwork for dealing with me in the future.
The eldest prince saw that I hesitated and said: "As long as this thing is done, I will never treat you badly, and the Shenwei camp will still be under your command in the future, and you will receive the title of duke,"
duke
I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, this is already the highest title of the foreign surname, and it will not be canonized easily, in the past hundred years, no one has been able to obtain such an honor.
The Duke also has a privilege, which is criminal immunity, which is exempt from criminal immunity, unless it is contrary to national security, or threatens the royal family, or has a significant adverse effect on society.
Such privileges are only entitled to members of parliament, but the criminal immunity of members is only for the duration of their term of office and is also liquidated once the term of office ends, while the duke is for life and enjoys criminal immunity for life.
But then, I felt more and more fear in my heart, and I understood the truth that the higher I held, the harder I fell.
The prince made such a promise, which means that I am in unprecedented danger, and it is very likely that not long after I become a duke, it will end miserably.
I said, "Your Highness, I am mainly worried that the assassination will not succeed and will affect Your Highness,"
The eldest prince patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe in your ability to do things, you will not let me down, Xiao Kun, you should know our situation, if the fourth inherits the throne, we will be finished, not only will you be relieved of the position of commander of the Shenwei Battalion, but also the casinos in the South Gate and Suizhou Island will also be affected,"
I nodded and said, "I understand, Your Highness, this matter is too important, I will go back and think about it, can I reply to Your Highness,"
The eldest prince smiled and said, "Of course you can, but you have to be fast, you have to reply to me by dawn at the latest,"
