Those who have contact with the Xixia people, although they were secretly arrested, but there is a prince here, the prince is missing, and the officials who support this prince panicked all of a sudden, at first they thought they were killed by other princes, and when they got the news, they said that they were taken by the people of Dongchang, they were even more panicked, and thought that this was the emperor's initiative to eliminate a son, not only those officials thought so, but even officials from other factions who did not know the truth also thought so.

This can make the other two sons very happy, the probability of inheriting the throne, from a little more than a third, jumped to one-half, in their hearts, as long as they defeat one, the throne is theirs.

The officials involved were naturally unwilling, and on the same day, a few important ministers entered the palace to face the saint, they wanted to determine whether the emperor had really given up on the prince, and several important ministers came, and the emperor did not give them a good face, which scared a few people, and they all guessed why this was in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why you ordered the arrest of the prince, did he violate any national law?" Although the emperor is powerful, it also makes those ministers a little scared, but to say cowardice, it is a bit exaggerated, in fact, if there is no conclusive evidence, most of these ministers, the emperor does not dare to move, most of these people come from those political families, and they have a great influence on the court.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Hmph, you still have the face to come to see me, he secretly contacted Western Xia and betrayed the enemy, don't you know?" ”

Upon hearing the emperor's angry words, several ministers were taken aback, "How is it possible! How can it be possible to defect to the enemy and betray the country! ”

"Huh, impossible? So what is this! "After the prince was taken, the fan of the East Factory immediately searched the mansion of the son of the world, and the son of the world was suddenly arrested, and some evidence of contacting the Western Xia was searched by the East Factory on the spot. At this time, the emperor Lao'er, the thing that he threw down angrily is the evidence of it.

Several ministers picked it up in a panic and looked at it, and all of them changed their faces at this time, and then several people pounced, and they all knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Weichen really didn't know that he actually defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and I hope that Your Majesty will see it!" ”

Looking at a few ministers who kept kowtowing, Emperor Lao'er snorted coldly again: "Hmph, get up, if you really know about this, you won't be here now!" The prison of the Criminal Department has been prepared for you a long time ago! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Several ministers got up, they now have no intention of saving the son of the world, as long as this matter does not implicate them, they will burn high incense.

"What are you all doing to help such a traitor?" Although the emperor didn't pursue them anymore, he still had to lose his temper, and he also wanted to beat these ministers.

"The ministers are ignorant and don't see clearly the wolf ambition of this son."

Soon the truth of the matter spread throughout the court, and the ministers of the court and the central government did not expect that the prince would be on the throne and cooperate with the Western Xia, and the officials of the factions involved were all in danger, and they did not dare to show their heads in the court, and other officials also hurriedly restrained the prince they supported, so that they did not have the intention of looking for foreign aid.

Although the emperor doesn't want to make a big deal about it, some people definitely have to deal with it, for example, the father of the prince, a marquis next to the royal family, in fact, this marquis doesn't know that his son actually cooperated with Xixia, but this kind of thing doesn't matter if you know it or not, even if you don't know, the emperor will not let go of their family.

The matter was personally interrogated by the emperor, and it was dealt with very quickly, and all the people involved were asked and beheaded, and because of this incident, Dongchang accidentally dug up several spies from Western Xia and other countries, and the fate of these spies was naturally uncertain, and they were all secretly executed.

The two armies are not at war, not to mention that now the Western Xia and other countries and the Central Plains are still friends, and the envoy was killed, which is simply an insult to the Western Xia and other countries, after the news was transmitted back, as expected, the voice of its domestic clamoring to send troops rose again, but this time the imperial court made preparations in advance, and their country was messed up by players, which was not a good opportunity to send troops at all. The last few countries only shouted a few words, and the matter was closed.

But everyone knows that this matter is only temporarily put down, several countries are so blatantly involved in the battle for the succession of the imperial court, the imperial court will not swallow this breath, but now because of internal problems, it is impossible to use force, as long as the time is ripe, the imperial court will definitely educate and educate a few countries, and several countries agree too far so, as long as the time is ripe, they will definitely not hesitate to send troops.

There was calm in the court for a few days, but immediately the war began again, at first it was the officials of the mountain faction, because the prince himself died, and now there are only two factions left, the officials involved, and the prince who has no support, of course, has become the object of the other two factions.

In this regard, Wan Huojing started relatively early, when the Central Plains decided to let Wan Huojing inform, they had already thought of this step, after the incident, before the others reacted, Wan Huojing began to take action to win over those officials.

The officials of that faction were in danger when everyone was in danger, and many people immediately joined Wan Huojing's faction. The officials of the other faction reacted when they saw Wan Huojing's movements, and immediately began to win over those officials.

However, because Wan Huojing made preparations in advance and started at the earliest, more than half of the officials joined their faction, and Wan Huojing and their faction, because of this, their strength was greatly shocked, and they controlled four of the six ministries, which can be said to be the first political party in the current imperial court.

Wan Huojing's nominal support for the prince was so happy that he even had some plans to call himself the crown prince, as if this throne was already in his pocket.

Zeng Yi got busy again, and suddenly accepted so many officials, Zeng Yi had to choose suitable ones from them and pull them on their thief ship, but just when Zeng Yi was busy, the inflated son of the world also began to do it. That guy, looking at the people who support him, is already so powerful, and the six departments account for four of them, and he actually wants to intentionally or unintentionally, Wan Huojing and they forced the emperor to make him the crown prince.

"Made, I really answered that sentence, if the heavens want to die, they will make them crazy! How inflated is he to think that he can force the emperor to make him the crown prince? ”

Knowing this from Wan Huojing's mouth, Zeng Yi didn't know what to say, "Leave him alone, press it first, and wait until I pull those officials onto our thief ship." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it, that guy is in his own house, and he has already begun to call himself the prince!"
