Chapter 171: Assassination of the Imperial Examination Scholars
"Bai Linxia is Jun Qianchen's weakness, without that woman, he will inevitably bite me tightly!" The eldest prince did not want to abandon his plans.
"Now, they have noticed it, and the Seventh Prince is probably prepared!" Zhou Siren understood his thoughts.
However, if you want to win the throne, you must be careful.
Jun Qianchen is a terrible opponent, whether it is martial arts or resourcefulness, that person is above the great prince, and if he goes against such a person, he may step into his trap at any time.
"Do you want me to give up?" The eldest prince's eyes flashed with a touch of slaughter.
He has always wanted the position of prince, and seeing that the emperor is getting old, if he can become the prince, he will soon be the lord of the world.
"Your Highness, don't be too anxious, it is impossible for the Seventh Prince to protect that woman for a lifetime, as long as we are careful everywhere and don't be caught by him, you will definitely become the crown prince!" Zhou Siren said soothingly.
"Humph!" Although the eldest prince was full of displeasure, he had to admit that Zhou Siren's strategy was indeed the most beneficial to him.
In the end, the eldest prince gave up his decision to control Bai Linxia.
Jun Qianchen has all the capable people under him, and Cheng Yifan, the secretary of the military department, is dedicated to him.
Today, Cheng Yifan's son is working as a deputy general in the barracks.
The tiger father has no dog son, Cheng Wenxuan has taken the imperial examination, and now he is a lifter.
However, when he was attacked on the border of the Great Qi Dynasty, he decisively entered the military camp.
Even if he is only a lieutenant general now, but he has made meritorious contributions in the border battle, and it will not be long before the emperor will reuse him.
There are two fathers and sons in the Cheng family, one has been planning in the DPRK for many years, and the other has the connections in the military camp.
Jun Qianchen can be said to be like a tiger now, which is one of the reasons why the eldest prince can't wait to get rid of him.
It's a pity that he is too sharp, and Bai Linxia's woman is also very shrewd.
Now they have lost the opportunity and can only continue to fight with Jun Qianchen......
After he learned that the eldest prince did not send anyone to find Bai Linxia's trouble, he immediately sent more people to investigate the bad things that the eldest prince had done secretly.
The eldest prince is very utilitarian, and has been buying people's hearts, wanting to pave the way for ascending to the crown prince.
However, he dared to make a move against Bai Linxia, and he didn't want to become the next emperor just for this one.
Jun Qianchen's greatest wish is to be able to spend his days with Bai Linxia.
If the Great Qi Dynasty did not have a Ming monarch in charge, sooner or later it would cause civil strife and give others an opportunity to take advantage of......
This time, he wanted to completely destroy the good reputation created by the eldest prince, and after removing that layer of disguise, he wanted to see what was left of the eldest prince.
When the eldest prince sensed his intentions, he immediately instructed his people to find a way to erase everything that had happened as soon as possible, not wanting him to seize his handle.
The two secretly went straight to the bar, and they both wanted to hit each other's forces.
The emperor had heard about this for a long time, but he did not intervene, but turned a blind eye and tossed with them.
He has always been very displeased with what the eldest prince did, after all, if he wants to become the lord of the world, he must be decisive, but he must not lack a benevolent heart.
The eldest prince thought he was doing seamlessly, but in fact, the emperor had known it for a long time, but it was about the face of the royal family, and he didn't expose it.
What's more, the candidate for the crown prince in his mind has never been the eldest prince.
He originally planned that after establishing the crown prince, he would let the eldest prince go to the fiefdom to stay, and he would not be able to come back without a move......
However, now that Jun Qianchen has made a move, he simply doesn't care.
The advisers of the three princes were extremely happy when they learned that the two were fighting.
"Your Highness, the Great Prince and the Seventh Prince are your biggest threat, if we can take the opportunity to do something to make them both lose, we will be able to profit!" The advisor suggested.
"That's exactly what I wanted!" He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
In the past, among all the princes, the eldest prince was strong, and he was second.
However, he has been using all the forces around him to deal with the eldest prince, and the two are evenly matched for a while.
After all, as long as the things that the eldest prince did were put to good use, they would definitely become weapons to bring him down in the future.
The reason why the three princes didn't make a move for a long time was just to see the emperor's attitude.
If the emperor is willing to be the crown prince, he will wait until he ascends the throne to give the eldest prince a fatal blow......
"I wonder what you think?" The three princes glanced at them and let several of the advisers express their opinions.
He doesn't have a specific charter yet.
"Your Highness, the imperial examination is imminent, many students have entered the Qi capital, if something happens to this year's candidates, it will definitely cause an uproar!" The three princes' cruel and unprincipled advisers quickly thought of a solution.
"What do you mean?" A flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
"Almost all of the students who come to Qi will take the exam, if they are assassinated for no reason, it will definitely cause some people to panic!" A sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"I'll leave this matter to you, make sure you clean it up for me!" The third prince quickly agreed.
"Your Highness, no, if the candidate is assassinated, the emperor will definitely be angry, if we show the clues, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Another counsellor vehemently objected.
What they did was too risky.
"This prince has decided!" Such a good opportunity, if he doesn't take advantage of it, the position of the crown prince will definitely be in Jun Qianchen's pocket.
The advisor was full of helplessness, but there was no way to dissuade him, and he secretly glared at the person who gave advice......
A few days later, several people who came to Qidu City to take the imperial examination were suddenly assassinated.
This matter soon shocked the government and the opposition, and the candidates at the feet of the Son of Heaven were killed, and if this matter could not be dealt with as soon as possible, it would definitely make many candidates who participated in the imperial examination fearful.
"Father, the murderer is too cruel, he actually killed five candidates in a row, we must find out the murderer as soon as possible!" The Three Princes said.
"Wei Chen heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is like a god, if this matter is handed over to His Royal Highness for investigation, he will definitely be able to find out the murderer as quickly as possible!" The people from the Three Princes' faction added fuel to the fire and pushed the matter to Jun Qianchen.
"Father, this matter is extremely bad, it is better to hand it over to Erchen to investigate, after all, the seventh brother rushed back, and some things are not very clear!" The eldest prince didn't want to see Jun Qianchen in the limelight, so he took the initiative to ask Ying and wanted to take over the matter.
"Qianchen, what do you think about this?" The emperor glanced at the two of them.
In fact, he is more inclined to Jun Qianchen, after all, he is indeed slightly better than the eldest prince than resourcefulness.
This incident has aroused the suspicion and fear of many people, and if the murderer is not found as soon as possible, those candidates will definitely not be able to take the exam with peace of mind.
"Since the eldest brother wants to investigate this matter, the father might as well hand it over to him directly!" Jun Qianchen didn't want to fight with him.
After all, this matter is indeed tricky, but since he wants credit, it is better to give him it.
As for whether he can find the clues smoothly, it depends on his ability.
Jun Qianchen already had a plan in his heart.
He wanted to take advantage of this matter to make the eldest prince fall on his heels.
"Father, Erchen thinks that it is more appropriate for the seventh brother to investigate this case, just because he has just returned to the palace, those people are not wary of the seventh brother!" The third prince insisted on recommending Jun Qianchen.
If the matter is handed over to the eldest prince, then his plan will be in vain.
"If the candidate is killed, let Qian Yu and Qian Chen investigate together, whoever can solve the case first, I will give him a reward!" The emperor saw through their minds at a glance.
Jun Qianchen is indifferent to fame and fortune, and never takes the initiative to provoke a fight, but the eldest prince Jun Qianyu likes to chase fame and fortune even more......
"Erchen takes orders!" Jun Qianchen and Jun Qianyu respectfully agreed.
Subsequently, the two began to investigate the murder of the candidate.
They don't like each other, so they both want to find out the truth before each other.
In order to win, the eldest prince secretly discussed with Zhou Siren and wanted to mislead Jun Qianchen with false news.
"Your Highness, if he is discovered by the Holy Lord, he will definitely be furious!" Zhou Siren did not agree with his approach.
"If we do this secretively, my father will definitely not find out, not to mention that if I don't do something, Jun Qianchen will be the first to find out the truth, how will I gain a foothold in the court in the future?" The eldest prince wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to establish his prestige.
He didn't want to give Jun Qianchen a chance to win people's hearts.
"Your Highness, we have more people than the Seventh Prince, and we will definitely be able to find out the clues first!" He didn't feel the need to do anything about it.
"Do as I say!" The eldest prince glanced at him sharply and said.
"Yes!" Although Zhou Siren felt that his approach was inappropriate, he still tried his best to arrange it.
Zhou Siren bribed several candidates and secretly gave Jun Qianchen false news.
They guessed that Jun Qianchen was very likely to start the investigation from the examinees who lived in the same inn as the deceased.
After all, they are all students who came to take the exam, they should know each other, and the target of the murderer is this year's candidates.
Jun Qianchen was misled by them, and he went in the wrong direction from the beginning.
The eldest prince was secretly very happy when he saw that the plan worked.
He felt that Jun Qianchen was nothing more than that, he just sent someone to give some fake news, and as a result, he checked in the wrong direction.
The current situation is very favorable to him, and the eldest prince and his henchmen have made a lot of efforts and began to investigate the truth about the killing of the candidate.
There are a lot of people who can be used under the eldest prince, and it will be twice the result with half the effort to check.
The third prince, who had been secretly watching them, found that the eldest prince had found a clue, and a trace of worry surged in his heart.
He thought he had done this seamlessly, but he didn't expect to be found out by the eldest prince.
"Your Highness, if we don't make a move at this time, the eldest prince is likely to find out about you!" The advisor said worriedly.
"It's all your bad idea!" At the beginning, he felt that by doing so, he could provoke a war between the eldest prince and Jun Qianchen, and he could just take advantage of the fisherman.
Who would have thought that there were so many capable people under the eldest prince.
"Your Highness, don't worry!" He said in a low voice, "Now what the eldest prince has found is just a fur, and besides, it is not His Highness who killed people at all, even if he finds out the truth, he can't help you!" ”
"Hmph, the eldest brother and the seventh brother are not good at stubble, as long as the matter has anything to do with me, they can find out how to find out about me!" The Three Princes have always known them well.
After all, the eldest prince is his old rival.
One of the advisers saw that he was worried about this, so he simply secretly revealed some clues to Jun Qianchen, intending to frame the matter to the eldest prince.
The two of them are not in harmony, if Jun Qianchen finds out that the matter is related to the eldest prince, he will definitely hold on to him.
When the time comes, they will be able to take the opportunity to erase the traces and find someone to top the bag.
The third prince knew from the beginning that there had to be a conclusion to this matter.
If they can't find the killer, the matter won't be over......
