Jingshi had countless pairs of eyes staring at King Huai, and they watched King Huai enter the palace and never came out again.

Tang Ning's attention was temporarily taken away from King Huai's body because he had encountered a tricky matter.

The county lord of Anyang told him just now that King Fu probably already knew that he was the lord of Xiaowan, and she didn't pay attention when she was talking to Feng'er two days ago, and when she heard movement outside, she opened the window and found that King Fu had been standing in the courtyard for I don't know how long.

Tang Ning had a headache, looked at her, and asked, "Are you sure King Fu heard your words?" ”

The county lord of Anyang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, he doesn't seem to have changed much in the past two days, he hasn't asked me, and he hasn't behaved abnormally." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and comforted: "Then don't worry, even if he tells His Majesty about this, it won't change anything, at most it's just a little troublesome." ”

To be honest, he didn't want Emperor Chen to know his identity, but he couldn't show too much trouble at the moment, which would make the county lord of Anyang fall into self-blame.

Tang Ning looked at her and changed the subject: "King Huai has been in the palace for so long, why hasn't he come out yet, why don't you go into the palace to investigate?" ”

The county lord of Anyang nodded and said, "I'll take a look at Xiaoman by the way......"

Without waiting for the county lord of Anyang to come back, Tang Ning learned some shocking news.

Yu Linwei's people raided King Huai's Mansion, and the right Yu Linwei General's Mansion was also raided, even if Yu Linwei was low-key enough, but this kind of thing was impossible to hide from people's eyes.

King Huai's Mansion was copied, and Li's Mansion was copied, which doesn't need too much guessing at all to draw conclusions.

King Huai rebelled.

If Emperor Chen was only dissatisfied with King Huai's grasp of what happened twenty years ago, he would definitely not implicate the Li family, and the only explanation was that King Huai rebelled together with the Li family......

Not only that, but they failed.

Compared with King Huai's rebellion, Tang Ning couldn't believe that he had failed.

With Tang Ning's understanding of King Huai, how could he act rashly before he was completely sure, although the case of Concubine Yang and the queen broke out these days, but King Huai is not the kind of person who will be affected by external objects.

But when he thought about it, he couldn't be sure.

The enmity between the biological mother and the adoptive mother is in front of you, and as a normal person, it is normal to do some abnormal things because of this.

However, King Huai may still have underestimated Emperor Chen's vigilance.

After experiencing the rebellion of the two sons of King Kang and King Duan, Emperor Chen is afraid that he will become even more suspicious than before, and it is more difficult to succeed in the rebellion on his territory than to ascend to the sky.

Tang Ning finally came back to his senses from this news, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible, does he want to die?" ”

Bai Jin stood in the courtyard and said, "Even if he doesn't die because of the rebellion, he only has half a year to live." ”

Tang Ning turned his head to look at her and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Bai Jin said: "He was poisoned." ”

……

Before Tang Ning heard Bai Jin finish telling the ins and outs of the matter, another eunuch summoned him, and His Majesty announced him to the palace.

Tang Ning walked into the palace and obviously felt that the atmosphere in the palace was several times more tense than before.

The moment he stepped into the imperial study, he found that there were many people in the hall.

Wang Xiang, Zhang Daxue, Liubu Shangshu, Shilang, including the Sixteen Wei Generals, and the important ministers of the court, are almost all here.

Outside of the early dynasty, His Majesty convened so many courtiers at the same time to discuss the matter, obviously something big happened.

Tang Ning walked to the front of the crowd and stood side by side with the king.

Tang Ning glanced up at Emperor Chen, only to feel that he was even older than the last time they met, and his face was extremely haggard, obviously suffering some major blow.

Thinking about it, his three sons rebelled against him in succession, and he may not be famous in history because of his political achievements, but he will definitely leave a strong mark in history because of this incident.

Chen Huangzuo was on the dragon chair, looked down, and said coldly: "King Huai has rebelled." ”

"What?"

"King Huai rebelled?"

"How is this possible!"

……

As soon as Emperor Chen's words fell, there was a gasp in the hall, and the faces of the officials showed extreme surprise and shock, and the originally quiet hall immediately became noisy.

Emperor Chen stood up from the dragon chair, and everyone immediately lowered their heads and fell silent.

Emperor Chen glanced at them and said, "King Huai plotted rebellion, from now on, he will be stripped of his prince's position, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in the palace for life...... can the ministers have any objections?" ”

Everyone, including Tangning, bowed their heads, and no one raised any objections.

Although King Huai rebelled, but he was the son of Emperor Chen, Tang Ning didn't know what Emperor Chen was like before, but in the past few years, he has obviously been a lot more merciful, and for the three rebellious princes, although the punishment is not light, but they all spared their lives.

It's just that imprisoning them in the palace for a lifetime is not much better than killing them.

At this moment, Emperor Chen looked at them again and said: "I thought about it carefully, King Kang, King Duan, and King Huai rebelled one after another, the biggest mistake is in my ......, the country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a prince for a day, I should learn from the state of Chu, set up a prince early, and cut off the dispute between princes in the future......"

As Emperor Chen spoke, the expressions of the ministers in the palace also changed.

The determination of the prince is related to the situation in the court, because of what has happened in the past few years, and His Majesty's vigilance, no one has ever dared to intervene in this matter, this time, after King Huai's rebellion, His Majesty finally has to make up his mind?

Emperor Chen glanced at everyone and said: "Zhao Yuan, the king of Run, is gifted and intelligent, virtuous, and has won my heart, I want to make him the crown prince, what do you think?" ”

The officials in the temple bowed their heads, neither agreeing nor objecting.

The matter of establishing the crown prince is very important, and no one dares to talk nonsense.

Besides, in today's Jingshi, all the princes have rebelled, and only King Run is left without stains on his body, His Majesty appointed him as the crown prince, which is also expected by everyone, who will oppose it, and who dares to oppose it?

Not to mention that there is only one prince left, just the forces behind King Run, the Fang family brothers are his uncles, Tang Xiang is his husband, and Zhang Daxue is also his teacher.

After a moment of silence in the hall, an official finally stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise......"

"Your Majesty is wise......"

"Your Majesty is wise......"

……

King Run's wings have long been full, this is something that everyone knows, His Majesty's decision this time is nothing more than confirming the speculation in their hearts in advance, so about the matter of King Lirun as the crown prince, no one in the palace objected.

Emperor Chen's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he waved his hand: "Since all the secretaries have no objections, then let's disperse......"

The expressions on the faces of the courtiers varied, some were shocked, others were delighted.

Only Wang Xiang and Zhang Daxue frowned, and Fang Zhe, the household servant who was related to this matter, was expressionless and couldn't see what he was thinking.

Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chen, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, at this time, Emperor Chen's eyes also looked at him, and said: "The matter of King Huai's rebellion will be handed over to you to deal with, it is bound to wipe out all the thieves, and not let go of a single fish that slipped through the net......"

Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

……

In the depths of the palace, the provincial hall.

Tang Ning stood in front of the temple door and said, "Open the door." ”

The two Yulin guards opened the door of the palace, Tang Ning walked in, King Huai stood in the hall, slowly turned around, looked at him, and said with a smile: "......Are you here?"

Downing asked, "Do you know I'm coming?" ”

King Huai shook his head and said, "If you don't come to see me, you won't be at ease in your heart." ”

Tang Ning didn't deny it, looked at him, and asked, "What did you say to Your Majesty?" ”

King Huai smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just told him that the younger brother of King Run, he will be a better emperor than him." ”

Tang Ning's body was shocked, and at this moment, he finally understood why Emperor Chen had such an expression when he announced that he wanted to establish King Li Run as the crown prince just now.

He didn't really want King Lirun to be the crown prince, he was tempting!

He was testing how many people supported King Run, or how many courtiers the Fang family had already encircled......

Emperor Chen may really want to make King Run the crown prince, but he never wants to see that before he ascended the throne, King Run had already controlled the court and had the ability to subvert him......

He would even change his decision to make a crown prince because of this incident------ for an emperor with a strong desire for control and suspicion, he could not accept such a fact.

Although the choice of this matter rests with Emperor Chen, it is clear that King Huai knows his father ...... very well, and Tang Ning also understands it.

In other words, King Huai's words made the Fang family, Wang Xiang, Zhang Daxue, and even Tang Ning all stand on the opposite side of Emperor Chen.

He also finally understood why King Huai's rebellion today was not successful.

Because he didn't want to succeed at all, he didn't want to let Emperor Chen go so simply, he wanted Emperor Chen to be betrayed by his fourth son, betrayed by his important ministers, and betrayed by the entire court......

And Downing is nothing more than a tool that he pulls closer to this quagmire to realize his plan.

The most embarrassing thing is that this is a dead end, a dead end that after they enter the game, the situation is out of their control.

King Huai is still the same King Huai, the same strategizing as before, in this matter, even the Fang family, Wang Xiang, the Zhang family, and countless ministers in the court, including Tang Ning himself, are his pawns.

He used his body as bait to get them all in......

Tang Ning looked at King Huai and asked helplessly: "Tell me, is this a human thing?" ”
