Chapter 107: The Battle of the Princes!
"Wow! No way! Who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to assassinate the current prince? The stout man with fur wrapped all over his body asked, shocked.
"Tut-tut!"
The thin man looked disdainful, and lowered his voice and said, "This is what you haven't seen!" Those who dare to assassinate the prince are naturally those above who covet the position of the prince! I heard that the most important son of the saint today is the crown prince, and he has high hopes for him, the so-called wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, how can the other princes easily let him sit on the throne of the prince? ”
"Shhhh You don't want to die! Dare to talk about government politics in the street, beware of being arrested and killed! If you don't want to die, we will die! Hearing this, the faces of the other people immediately changed.
In Dayu country, ordinary people are not allowed to discuss the government, once caught, it is a felony to kill the head! Seriously, even the nine clans!
"That's it, hurry up and disperse......"
"Let's go, get out of town, out of town......"
Several merchants immediately dispersed in a hurry, and each went out of the city, and the streets of Linzhou City were deserted again.
Emperor Heng of the current Yu country is nearly unconfused before succeeding to the unification, reigning for 20 years, a total of 13 princes, five princesses.
Emperor Heng has succeeded to the throne for many years, but he has not set up a prince, although the ministers of the court have repeatedly admonished the prince, but Emperor Heng has pushed again and again.
It wasn't until more than ten years ago that after the ministers of the court headed by Li Xiang failed to recommend Xiao Yuming, the eldest son of the emperor, to Emperor Heng as the crown prince, several princes who were originally quite peaceful began to secretly win over the ministers of the court, privately cultivated their own forces, and fought with each other openly and secretly for five or six years.
In this regard, the old emperor just turned a blind eye and seemed to be happy to see it, occasionally dialing the third, snubbing the fourth, and counting the eighth, but never expressed a clear appreciation for any prince.
Until five years ago, Emperor Heng suddenly had a blue eye for Xiao Yuqing, the concubine left by the former queen, and praised him for his great talent and the pillar of the country.
The seventh prince Xiao Yuqing also lived up to Emperor Heng's expectations, talented and intelligent, with a steady appearance, although he was born in the emperor's family, he did not have the slightest arrogance and lasciviousness, and he was bright and upright, and his character was good. Since the age of ten, he has been involved in court affairs, although he is young, he is quite insightful, and finally succeeded in ascending to the throne of the crown prince.
However, although the crown prince was established, the turmoil in the court and the struggle between the princes did not subside.
Many princes are sincere on the surface, but secretly they still move frequently, watching Xiao Yuqing's every move, ready to pull him down from the crown prince and replace him.
Xiao Yuqing has been the prince for five years, and it is natural to see how many plots, traps, and assassinations he has encountered.
It's just that he never thought that someone would dare to put the assassination on the surface, and even the local government directly participated, so he was defenseless.
Fortunately, there is no danger, but Xiao Yuqing is still full of doubts in his heart, how did he escape the pursuit of the assassins, or even unscathed?
It's a pity that even Mo Qi and Mo Jiu can't answer him this question.
All of them, as if they had just slept and woke up safe, were very weird.
Except for Mo San and Mo Wu, who were brutally murdered, the only person who was injured turned out to be the sister of the saint, Lin Yu.
However, according to her, she was frightened and accidentally fell off her horse, after which she fainted, and woke up to find that her left shoulder had been dislocated.
