Several of them have been speculating about who their father will pass on the throne to, and for so many years, although they have been fighting in secret, they have never guessed their father's thoughts. However, his father has always disliked the emperor's eldest grandson. Every time I saw the emperor's eldest grandson, he was lukewarm when he spoke, and he never cared about him. How could he have crossed them and chosen the emperor's eldest grandson as the prince?

So the faces of several princes were not very good, and the eyes of the two princes from the second to the fifth all looked at the eldest prince. Because of the emperor's eldest grandson, only the eldest prince will stay in the capital. The eyes of several brothers naturally turned to him.

"Why don't you speak?" After the decree was read, it was so shocked that no one received the decree of thanksgiving. The Northern Xinjiang Emperor looked at his son with a fierce gaze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The ministers did not dare to interject, and in fact could not. This is His Majesty's own choice, if they say the wrong thing at this time and anger His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely make an example of him. So, the ministers honestly bowed their heads and stood on both sides.

The princes heard the cold voice of the Northern Xinjiang Emperor, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the decree of thanksgiving.

The Northern Xinjiang Emperor nodded slightly, and then said, "I'm a little tired today, retreat from the dynasty." ”

Gonggong Hong helped the emperor of Northern Xinjiang to get out of the court, and when he left, he gave the prince a very meaningful look. The eldest prince sighed in his heart, could it be that his father saw his lie?

got up early in the morning to prepare for the court, but found that Fei'er was not waiting for him at the gate of the palace as usual. As a result, the man sent to look for him came back and told him that Fei'er was not in the courtyard. Moreover, there seems to be no trace of anyone sleeping on the bed last night. This shows that Fei'er didn't sleep in the house last night. Either that, Fei'er went out last night and will go to court on his own today. Or, after someone learned the contents of the holy decree, they sent someone to take Fei'er away. As for which one it was, he didn't know, because he was in a hurry to go to court, he just arranged for the people in the palace to go out to look for it.

After the court, the faces of the princes can be imagined, and they are even more ugly than hearing the holy decree last night. They didn't say anything along the way, left the palace quickly, and returned to the house in their respective sedan chairs. The ministers naturally didn't dare to speak, and they all left the palace silently, only the eldest prince knew that he had to go to the imperial study to inform his father that Fei'er was missing. Otherwise, if Fei'er disappeared as a big thing, sooner or later his father would receive the news.

When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, how could he think of a reason to see his father, but when he looked up, he saw Gonggong Hong walking out of the imperial study, and before he could speak, Gonggong Hong said: "Lord, Your Majesty invites you in." ”

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and entered the imperial study.

"Father." The eldest prince asked in a reluctantly state.

"Well, what's the matter, let's talk about it." The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang didn't even raise his eyelids, and lowered his head and said to the eldest prince.

"Father, in fact, Fei'er didn't feel unwell, but, before going to court this morning, Erchen found out that Fei'er was not in the mansion. Fei'er, he's missing. The eldest prince said honestly.

"So, in the morning of the dynasty, you wanted to tell me this, but I don't know why you changed your mind." The Northern Xinjiang Emperor raised his head and stared into the eyes of the Great Prince.

"Erchen doesn't want too many people to know about this, which makes people panic. That's why I thought about going to the Imperial Study to discuss this matter with you. I originally wanted to bring him to kowtow to you, and he said thank you for trusting you so much. The eldest prince had something on his mind, and seemed to be very worried about Bei Mingfei and said.

"Hehe, what else did he say?" A trace of tenderness actually flashed in the eyes of the Northern Xinjiang Emperor, which made the eldest prince think that he had seen it wrong.

Only then did the eldest prince say: "I also said something that shouldn't be said." This was not what the retainer should have said, but it was what he said. He said that he really did not deserve to inherit the throne, and he was a little afraid. He also said that the throne had been left to his uncles, and he should not expect it. Before he finished speaking, the eldest prince looked at the Northern Xinjiang Emperor timidly, wanting to see how the Northern Xinjiang Emperor would react to what he said.

What puzzled him was that his father's face was always so gloomy, even if he was a little dissatisfied with Fei'er, he couldn't see any expression from his father's face.

The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang put down the cup in his hand, looked at his eldest son solemnly, sighed, and then said: "I arranged for the eldest grandson to succeed to the throne, what are you dissatisfied with?" ”

When the eldest prince heard the words of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt down in front of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, and said with sincere fear: "Father, it's too late for the sons to be happy, how can they be dissatisfied?" Erchen was just a little surprised that his father would value Fei'er so much. It's just that Fei'er is still young, and the royal brothers are ...... Erchen didn't dare to imagine. ”

"Well, get up, as soon as the holy decree was delivered, Fei'er suddenly disappeared, which is indeed a bit strange. I will send people to patrol secretly, and your men will withdraw from it. The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang said coldly.

"Yes." The eldest prince was frightened by the words of the emperor of Northern Xinjiang and broke out in a cold sweat, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then got up.

"You go home first, perhaps, Fei'er has already gone back." The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang said.

"Yes. Son, this is retreating. After speaking, the eldest prince left the imperial study.

The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang's face became a little gloomy, and he muttered: "You say, this eldest son of mine is really happy that the throne has been passed on to his son?" ”

At this time, a dark shadow appeared in the Northern Xinjiang Emperor, only to hear him say coldly: "Master, there is a dark night around the emperor's eldest grandson, you don't have to worry." The subordinates don't know what the eldest prince really thinks in his heart, but the eldest grandson of the emperor is the eldest prince's son-in-law after all. So ......"

The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang sighed and said, "You have been by my side for a long time, have you seen less?" ”

The man in black saluted respectfully and disappeared. The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang had no choice but to shake his head, picked up the teacup and prepared to drink tea, but found that the tea had already been cold.

In the dark room of a royal palace

"Brothers, why did my father suddenly drive us out of the capital? Why are you going to let Fei'er's kid succeed to the throne? "The one who spoke was the Fifth Prince.

The third child shook his head and did not speak, but the fourth said: "Although I don't know what my father wants to do this time, you should have received the news that the Hades King and the Hades Princess of Nanzhao Kingdom entered the palace last night to participate in the palace banquet. It's just that my father didn't inform us, but just entertained them alone. ”

"Could it be that this has something to do with them? It's impossible, they are not from the north of Xinjiang, and their father will not listen to them. However, did he already know about this big brother? The fifth said incomprehensibly.

"Looking at today's situation, the eldest brother only knew about it when he suddenly received the holy decree last night. It's just that the eldest brother's face is not very good. The eldest brother is a son-in-law, but as a result, it is his son who will succeed him. Haha, I think the saddest thing should be the big brother. The fourth said cracklingly.

The third child coughed lightly and said, "Okay, this morning, the eldest brother said that Fei'er was sick." ”

"Third brother, do you have any plans?" The fourth asked.

"Second brother, this matter is about our going or staying, what do you think?" The third child looked at the second prince, who had not spoken.

The second prince thought for a while and said, "Since my father has made a decision, I think it's better to follow his orders." He wanted to protect Fei'er and let him sit in that position without worry. Come to think of it, I'm worried that those of us who are uncles will embarrass him. It seems that the father is iron-hearted. "For the sake of his own grandson, my father has done enough.

"Second brother, did you just accept your fate?" The fourth child looked at the second child in surprise and asked.

As a result, the second prince did not respond, just sat there quietly drinking tea alone.

The eyes of the third prince flashed with a glimmer of light, and he didn't know what he was pondering in his heart.

The fifth brother continued: "Since the second brother has accepted his fate, I, the fifth brother, am even less qualified to fight for anything." Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, younger brother, I should go back. "Lao Wu thought that moving his family out of the capital was a big project, and he didn't know when the fiefdom would be ready.

Lao Wu left the dark room, of course, he didn't go through the door when he left, but sneaked out of the door.

Subsequently, the second prince also left the dark room. Only the third and fourth children were left in the dark room. The fourth brother couldn't hold his breath, and when he saw that only the third brother was left, he asked anxiously: "Third brother, it seems that the second brother and the fifth brother have given up, what should we do?" Did he really obey his father's orders and leave the capital? Even if he values Fei'er's future succession to his throne, there is no reason to drive us out. Could it be that except for the eldest brother, none of us are born to him? ”

"Wrong, do you think that the eldest brother doesn't resent our father in his heart? Our five brothers, the eldest brother is a son-in-law, and it stands to reason that he should have been named the crown prince a long time ago. It's a pity that we can't guess my father's thoughts. My father was suspicious, and even our five sons didn't trust him. didn't expect that he would bypass his eldest brother and choose his grandson. You say, what is the face of the eldest brother? Even if his son became the future prince, wouldn't he, the eldest prince, become a joke in Northern Xinjiang? After the third child sneered, he carefully analyzed.

After listening to the analysis of the third child, the fourth child was already shocked. Come to think of it, the eldest brother is indeed a wretch. As a concubine, his father didn't care at all. Even the crown prince was not canonized, and in the end he gave up the throne to the eldest brother's son. Those of them who are younger brothers can't look past it, and the eldest brother seems to be nothing. Is he really happy for his son, or is he forbearing as the third brother said?

"Third brother, now that we are so sensitive, we can't go to the Great King's Mansion to meet the eldest brother." The fourth prince asked with a frown.

"If you want to know what the eldest brother thinks, you can visit the Great King's Mansion at night tonight." The third said with a cold smile.

The fourth prince had long been accustomed to the cold expression of the third prince, but the third brother suddenly said that he wanted to visit the eldest prince's mansion at night, and he was still a little hesitant.

"Don't dare to go?" The third prince saw the hesitant expression on the fourth prince's face and asked.

"That's not it, let's just go to the palace like this, will the eldest brother have any ideas?" The fourth child still asked with some hesitation.

"I have to go to know the true thoughts of my eldest brother." The corners of the third prince's mouth rose and said.

In fact, these two princes didn't know that the emperor's eldest grandson was no longer in the mansion, so they wanted to find out at night. After discussing it, they went back to their homes.
