"The prince is dead?" Ye Qiu listened to his subordinates' report with a surprised expression, "How did you die?" ”

"I heard that it was killed by the second prince when he forced the palace."

"He's really bold, but that's the only way to make sure it's safe." Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed, as if he remembered the man who stood at the gate of the city as gentle as jade.

It's a pity that everything he did to her was pretended, if he hadn't been hiding in his previous life, if he hadn't killed his Ye family in his previous life, as a courtier, she wouldn't sit idly by.

The crown prince fell to the end of today, it may not be the result of his own ruthlessness, and then too shrewd calculation, he relied on the favor of the old emperor, and felt that everyone could be used by him, so he never refused to treat people sincerely, do you really think those courtiers are stupid? Why don't you support him, the eldest son, instead of supporting the second prince, just don't help each other?

He was too false and high because of one reason, and the other reason was that the old emperor hurt him.

The father and son were afraid that Zhang Guifei would be jealous, so the father-son affection shown on weekdays was cold, showing that the old emperor didn't pay attention to him and didn't like him.

There are probably not many courtiers who are willing to risk the destruction of the Nine Clans to support a prince who has no motherless family and no favor, and the odds are too low.

Therefore, in the end, Zhang Guifei and the second prince were qualified to confront the old emperor and Cheng, and even forced a head.

It is certainly a big mistake for the second prince to kill his brother, but the history books are compiled by successful people, if the old emperor has been unconscious, the second prince killed him on the charge that the prince had to do something unworthy to murder the emperor, as long as he ascends the throne, everything is not a problem, it can be said that although the method is simple and rude, but it is very efficient.

But the bad thing is that the old emperor woke up in time, and the prime minister also successfully escaped and sent a letter to the state capital of Dengyun Prefecture, so the second prince fell short in the end.

"The crown prince is dead, what is the reaction of our majesty?"

"I heard that the second prince, the third prince and the eldest princess were detained on the spot, and they personally stabbed Zhang Guifei to death, and when the family reacted, let the prime minister's brother-in-law directly lead the troops to kill those who participated in the forced palace, and the people below came to report that the blood flowed in the capital that night, and many families were wiped out overnight, and not even a dog escaped."

Luo Xiao frowned when he listened: "Your Majesty, is this crazy?" Those are all families, and the power of the families united is not less than the imperial power, aren't they afraid of chaos in the world? ”

"Your Majesty's favorite son is dead, where can he manage so much now? Besides, most of the families in the capital are descendants, and now that the descendants are gone, the property and power left behind are not small, do you think those collateral families will avenge the descendants first or strive for their own interests first? Ye Qiu chuckled, "Maybe our Majesty is crazy this time, and it has also opened up a new situation for our Darong Dynasty." ”

"Then general, who do you think Your Majesty will appoint as the crown prince? The second prince forced the palace, and the third prince was an accomplice, as if no one could say anything. ”

"Our Majesty doesn't have just these two sons."

"But aren't the others underage? Your Majesty sees that his health is getting worse and worse, if he sets up a yellow-haired child, how can he suppress those nobles? What if the second prince and the third prince are unwilling to make a comeback? ”

Ye Qiu's smile became thicker: "Isn't this still me?" Do you think that with the military power in my hands, can I suppress those nobles? ”

Luo Xiao's eyes widened: "General, you?" ”

"Our Majesty probably figured it out at this time, he should have guessed that I didn't plan to get involved in the battle for the throne early in the morning."

"But if Your Majesty knows that the general is deliberately watching the prince fall into danger, won't Your Majesty blame the general?"

"What did I do wrong? How can he blame, don't forget, the war was started by Zaha first, and I was also ordered to come to the border pass, as for the holy decree of marriage, it was also stopped by Zhang Guifei and them, the capital is far away from the border pass mountain, I don't know what happened in the capital is normal, even if I know, can I catch up? ”

"But an emperor sometimes wants to attack someone, and he doesn't need any reason."

"I have military power in my hands, even if I don't listen, how can he bear me? But our majesty will not touch me at this time, his favorite son died, or was killed by the other two sons, in order to avenge the crown prince, he will never let the second prince and the third prince have a chance to turn over, if he doesn't want to be a dead king, not only will he not attack me, but also let me assist the little prince wholeheartedly. ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Wait, wait for His Majesty's decree to come."

"What if the general leaves the border and Zaha starts a war?"

"Before I leave the capital, I will solve Zaha first, Zaha is gone, the barbarian tribe is a plate of loose sand, Luo Xiao, this side will be handed over to you in the future."

"The general trusts him, and a certain general will never give up."

"Auntie is back, aunt is back." Ye Qiu returned home from the army, and as soon as he entered the gate, he was greeted by two small cannonballs.

"Little Ancestor, slow down." She bent down to pick up her little niece and touched her back, "Why do you wear so little, isn't it cold?" ”

"What's so cold about her, watching his brother practice martial arts, he has to learn along, it's hot and sweaty." The second sister-in-law Lin Jiao took over her daughter from her sister-in-law, shook her head helplessly, she thought that she was born a petite girl, and she just wanted her to be pampered and grow up, but she didn't think that she still had to practice martial arts, and said that she wanted to be a general like her aunt.

There is such a girl in the family, Lin Jiao sometimes doesn't want to be too harsh on her, just think about practicing martial arts if she is willing to practice, with her aunt's protection, there will be nothing wrong in the future.

"Auntie, Master said that I have grown a lot recently, does Auntie want to try my skills?" Because the little boy has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is now almost as tall as Ye Qiu, and his bright eyes are full of eagerness.

"Okay, let's go to the martial arts training ground after eating."

Hearing that his aunt promised to teach him, Ye Mu was so excited that he didn't look as steady as usual.

Mei Wanwan said with a smile: "The two children in our family only have my aunt in their eyes, that is, me and my younger siblings, and I will be angry if I leave other people's families." ”

"Sister-in-law, where is this, they all say that the fragrance is far away and the smell is near, the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law accompany the two juniors every day, and I am often in the barracks, and I finally come back once, they naturally want to be excited."

Of course, Mei Wanwan will not be angry because of this, and there have been some rumors at the border recently, she pulled Ye Qiu over and asked, "When you come back at this time, did something happen to the court?" ”

"Yes, I may have to go back to Beijing."
