Chapter VIII There is the Prime Minister
It's just that no matter what the second prince and the seventh prince are missing, at least they don't lack courage and guts, which is still worthy of recognition.
Even if it may be that the ignorant are fearless, being fearless is not necessarily a good thing, and they are not afraid of things, but they prefer to find things when they are fine.
The second prince and the seventh prince have different forms of expression, the second prince tends to make stumbling blocks secretly, and the seventh prince is openly looking for trouble.
Compared to the other princes, the two of them did stand in the dominant position, and there was no other choice for a while except him.
These two princes can even be said to be disguised to guide the thoughts and psychological feelings chosen by the other princes in the imperial city.
And the main source of the princes joining the flanks, even if they were forced to stand behind them, there was no other way.
In this way, he can appear that he is not any threat, and will not have any impact on the two of them competing for the crown prince.
But in the palace, it is not without influence, you can protect yourself, and after standing in line, you can no longer eat and wait for death.
has to serve the second prince or the seventh prince, and the competition for the crown prince is a bit like two countries at war, and each prince has become a chess piece. It was the marshals or generals under the two of them, so that the rest of the princes could start attacking the city.
At the same time, causing damage to the personnel in the opposing team is not only to make suggestions, but also to cause some substantial damage.
For example, which prince has physical problems, which prince's power is restricted, and so on.
The scheming of the princes is tempered by the years in the imperial city, and they naturally know most of the truths, and they know how to abide by it.
There are few princes who can deal with it casually and easily, except for some princes who are stupid and sweet.
And they are basically the targets of the first eradication, after all, the existence of this kind of prince will not benefit both sides.
From time to time, it is also possible to expose the personnel on your side, increasing the risk and unnecessary casualties, and maybe the news will leak out.
It is precisely because of this that during the serious illness of the first emperor, there was news in the imperial city that the prince disappeared for no reason or died mysteriously.
This is simply terrible for the palace that can be said to have been safe and sound for so many years, except for the death of some princes and princes.
If it is just a simple death, it may be that there is something wrong with the body, and sudden death and similar possibilities cannot be ruled out.
But you must know that if you can't find the body in the imperial city, it is a very serious problem, this is considered a deliberate murder.
If the corpse is destroyed, if it is placed in the previous emperor when he is still in good health, he will definitely find out the truth and return justice.
It's just that at this time, the first emperor was already powerless, and many princes and princesses he watched grow up could no longer give them shelter.
The first emperor could only hope that these people would seek more blessings for themselves, and often they were not mentally mature, and basically had no good end.
Some people are rumored to have found bodies at the bottom of the well, perhaps because they were psychologically distorted, or because they had something wrong with their brains, they jumped into the well.
But as long as everyone knows such a bad excuse, how can it be the truth of the matter, and who may be pushing it in.
Or some vomited blood in the room and died, and were diagnosed with food poisoning by the imperial doctor, but the prince's food was very safe.
Basically, someone with a heart poisoned the food, and then created the illusion that someone wanted to murder the prince, which can be regarded as a deception and a deception.
Anyway, in the palace, as long as a prince is missing or dead, a servant or maidservant will come forward to take the blame.
They basically show that they would rather die than obey, seemingly just to protect the safety of the master behind them, but in fact they are not.
In fact, many times, the people who carry the black pot are some ordinary palace maids or slaves, and they keep shouting that they are wronged.
People are doing it, the sky is watching, they are really wronged, they don't know the cause of the death of the dead prince, and they can't guess the torture.
And some minions and palace maids have not seen this prince much before their deaths, and they have become capital crimes for some reason, they are often suddenly promoted, and then quickly go to Huangquan as substitutes for the dead ghosts. Once or twice, both princes began to become proficient in this practice.
And every time a prince is eliminated, no matter which side of the team it is, it will only make both sides more excited, thinking about how to continue.
After all, for every prince missing, both sides can be regarded as one less potential threat, and the fewer princes the better, and it is better to have only one left.
This is more like a murder game, a gamble, and the stakes are the lives of a prince who is alive and innocent, and there is no choice.
The first emperor was already weak, and he didn't have much time and energy to take care of these things, so he could only develop freely.
The real reason for this is unknown, even if it is told by other princes, the first emperor knows what it is.
At this time, the first emperor did not completely lose the ability and power to judge, but it seems that in addition to believing the nonsense of these princes.
For a while, I couldn't find any other better way, until the first emperor's body arrived, and later became more and more sick, and gradually the early dynasty could not go.
But it always gives people a feeling that the first emperor is still hanging on his breath, and he has to find a suitable candidate for the crown prince to close his eyes.
Otherwise, the first emperor would definitely have to die, but it would be difficult to find it in a short time, which made him have no signs of dying violently.
Speaking of which, it can only be said that he was sick and did not die, and the first emperor took a breath and watched all this from a distance without expressing his opinion.
So the princes continued to fight, and they never got tired of it, to see who had the last laugh and who laughed the best. In the palace, in just one or two years, several princes have died tragically, and it can even be said that they have their own deaths, and outsiders don't know the truth.
The first emperor was forced to be helpless, and it can be said that he could not control it, but the country could not be managed by no one, and many things in the early dynasty had to be worried.
has no choice, the first emperor can only let the prime minister govern on his behalf, which can be regarded as the last bit of face of the first emperor, and he will not tear his face.
After all, the prime minister was a close confidant of the first emperor, loyal, and had no other hearts, and was single-minded to the first emperor, and the two were like brothers.
In any case, in the case of any accident, in the contingency plan of the first emperor, the edict has a place for the contemporary prime minister.
This also makes the prime minister particularly important, no one dares to go against the prime minister among many princes, and he is not a good stubble.
You must know that to be able to sit firmly in the position of prime minister, you must have enough strength, ability, intelligence and force, and be strong in all aspects.
The prime minister is a person under one person and above ten thousand, even if he is a prince and princess, or a prince, even if he is a queen.
They all have to give the prime minister a few thin noodles and three points of courtesy, except for the first emperor, no one dares to go to the prime minister, he has the first emperor as the backing.
Except for the first emperor, no one is noble enough to point fingers in front of the prime minister, and the princes naturally know the importance of this.
