This assassination against Wu Haoxuan has long been mastered by the Imperial Security Service. Therefore, it is possible to make the assassination invisible before it happens. The Security Bureau has long known that the mastermind of this assassination is the imperial concubine He Wanting, and they are more cautious when it comes to the royal family. Li Yanling, director of the Security Bureau, even demanded that the evidence must be mastered.

Although, there is a bit of a risk in doing so. But if you prepare well, there won't be much of a problem. Also, this will allow the Assassin to be caught directly. In the future, when there is a confrontation, He Wanting will not deny it.

When Wu Haoxuan and Prime Minister Yang Du, as well as Chief of General Staff Shi Tianhan and others got on the train. The train was delayed. It wasn't until half an hour later that Li Yanling, dressed in military uniform, got on the train.

"See the Crown Princess!" Yang Du and the others hurriedly bowed down to Li Yanling.

"Everyone's excuses." Li Yanling hurriedly returned the salute.

"Your Highness, they have all been recruited, and it was that person who instigated it." Li Yanling said.

The smile on Wu Haoxuan's face disappeared all of a sudden. Originally, he knew what Li Yanling meant. Unexpectedly, the woman who was blinded by ambition would really do such a thing in a frenzy. And this has undoubtedly touched his bottom line. For the younger brother who was just born, Wu Haoxuan was able to tolerate it. However, the premise is that the other party cannot pose a threat to his throne. However, now that the other party has even used such indiscriminate means, how can he tolerate it anymore?

"Your Highness, what happened?" Yang Du asked. From the conversation between Li Yanling and Wu Haoxuan, he also realized that something unexpected seemed to have happened. And, the situation seems to be a bit troublesome.

"Just now, there was an assassin plot to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. An Assassin was on the roof of a building more than two hundred meters from the docks, using a modified Mosinagan sniper rifle. I want to snipe His Highness. The other assassin was in the middle of the crowd and wanted to assassinate His Highness with a pistol team at close range. Fortunately, the Security Service had already received the relevant information and was able to stop the situation in time. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Li Yanling's face was angry. Even though. Everything is under the control of the Security Bureau, but now that she thinks about it, it still scares her. Thankfully, the Security Service was able to stop the two assassins, and if there was a slight mistake in the process, something would have gone wrong.

"What? Conspiracy to assassinate His Highness? Who did it? Impatient to live? Marshal Shi Tianhan had an angry look on his face. Wu Haoxuan is the core of the empire, and it is with Wu Haoxuan's leadership that the empire is becoming stronger step by step. Now, someone actually wants to assassinate Wu Haoxuan, isn't that the enemy of the entire empire?

"Your Highness. This matter must be taken very seriously. The safety of His Royal Highness is directly related to the future of the entire empire, and there can be no mistakes. Yang Du also said.

Other ministers and generals echoed each other. As the magnates who grew up with the empire, their interests and Wu Haoxuan can be said to be tied together. If Wu Haoxuan had three longs and two shorts, then they would undoubtedly be seriously affected. No one wants such a situation, they all hope that Wu Haoxuan can live well, preferably a long life.

"According to the confessions of the two Assassins. They were instructed by the imperial concubine He Wanting. He Guifei wanted to put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to death, and then let her little prince become the future master of the empire. So. Do not hesitate to take risks to do such a thing. Li Yanling said.

All the people were silent, although, after what happened, they were aware of it. However, when Li Yanling said all this herself. Still shocked them. This is not a simple assassination, but also involves the infighting of the royal family! In this case, it is not for them, the foreign ministers, to intervene.

"What did those two assassins do?" Wu Haoxuan asked.

"An assassin surnamed Liu, originally a veteran officer of the Beiyang Army, and his family was a large landowner in Henan Province. The imperial government imposed a policy of land redemption. and ransomed all the fields of their homes. The money they got from selling the land was used to invest in the factory, and they lost all their money. This made him hate the empire and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In addition, Concubine He's people pulled the strings from it, so they participated in the assassination of His Royal Highness. The other person was originally an outlaw. He Guifei paid a full 100,000 Chinese yuan and asked him to kill His Highness. Li Yanling said.

"There is no forgiveness for sin, and these people all deserve to die!" Yang Du couldn't help but scold. However, I don't know if what he said was just two assassins, or if He Guifei was also included. Wu Haoxuan can be said to have the grace of knowing Yang Du. If it weren't for Wu Haoxuan, he would still be just an errand under Yuan Datou. Now, he has become the head of government under one man and above ten thousand.

"Your Highness, no matter what, the military is loyal to Your Highness." Marshal Shi Tianhan, Chief of the General Staff, said suddenly. Although, he is Wu Xingquan's old subordinate. However, after Wu Haoxuan led them to become strong step by step, he had already been completely loyal to Wu Haoxuan. Between Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan, if he had to choose one, he would undoubtedly choose Wu Haoxuan.

The other generals also nodded their heads again and again, expressing their support for Wu Haoxuan. Whether it is the Imperial Army or the Imperial Navy, Wu Haoxuan's influence is unparalleled. This makes his influence in the military unmatched by no one else. It can be said that if he wants to replace Wu Xingquan and become the emperor of the empire, the military will definitely support him.

Wu Haoxuan fell silent. The train has already started, heading towards Yanjing. However, Wu Haoxuan was still thinking about what he should do. How can you get the best of both worlds?

"Your Highness, this is a big taboo! Since He Guifei has even used such a method. Then, now that there are human and material evidence, His Highness should seize this opportunity to strangle the threat in the cradle in one fell swoop. Yang Du said suddenly. If Wu Haoxuan was killed in this assassination, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, he didn't want that to happen again.

"Is it possible, do you want to kill that little prince? He's only been around for a little over three months. All of this was done by He Guifei. She is a very ambitious woman. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Then let He Guifei bear the corresponding responsibility, as for the little prince, although he is innocent. However, in the future, it is necessary to take strict care to avoid further disasters. Yang Du said.

Yang Du's meaning is undoubtedly that He Guifei must die, and as for the little prince, it is best to send him out of the palace and let him grow up in the homes of ordinary people. In this case, it will not pose a threat to Wu Haoxuan.

"Your Highness, why don't you just become the emperor. His Majesty is already old and can abdicate completely. Marshal Shi Deshan, deputy chief of the General Staff and commander of operations against Japan, said suddenly.

The whole carriage fell into a deathly silence all at once. There is no doubt that this is absolutely a big rebellion. However, when I think about it carefully, I have to admit that this sentence is very reasonable. In addition, Marshal Shi Deshan has another identity, that is, the uncle of the crown prince Wu Haoxuan. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to persuade him.

The entire empire can be said to have been established by Wu Haoxuan. In fact, he is the most suitable candidate for the emperor. Wu Xingquan is just a puppet who doesn't care about political affairs and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

"Your Highness, please think again! If His Royal Highness ascends the throne, it will be of great benefit to the entire empire. As for Your Majesty, it is completely possible to make him the emperor. You can still live your current life. In addition, it can reduce a lot of trouble. Yang Du also said.

"Yes, Your Highness. If Your Highness is not able to speak, we can go and talk to Your Majesty. Marshal Shi Tianhan also said.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Wu Haoxuan gradually made up his mind. In fact, this time the assassination of He Guifei's envoy also made him feel the crisis. He had managed to build a powerful empire that would fall apart if he were assassinated. The empire will definitely lose in the competition with the Western powers. He didn't want the empire he had built to lose like this.

"After returning to Yanjing, I went directly to see Your Majesty. You guys, just wait for news in the Imperial Palace. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Highness." The others replied.

In the afternoon, the train arrived in Yanjing. Wu Haoxuan and Li Yanling got in the car and went directly to the Forbidden City. The other ministers and generals went to the palace to wait for news.

Everyone knows that Wu Haoxuan is a person who cares about family affection, so even if he has all the strength of the empire, he has never persecuted Wu Xingquan. However, the premise is that Wu Xingquan does not do something radical.

Now, Wu Haoxuan has made up his mind. Then, if Wu Xingquan wants to rely on the position of the emperor again, it is already impossible. It's just that whether this will hurt the feelings between father and son, everyone doesn't know. However, between the royal family, there is no need for family affection. Even between father and son, for the sake of the throne, they have never hesitated to die.

When the car arrived at the palace, the palace guards controlled by the Security Bureau were ready. The car drove directly into the palace. After Wu Haoxuan got out of the car, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He knew that for the sake of the Empire, and for himself, he had to take this step. (To be continued.) )
