Chapter 717: Heavenly Jealousy of Talents!
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 which prince. Until five years ago, Emperor Heng suddenly had a blue eye for the seven-year-old Seventh Emperor, praising him for his great talent and being the pillar of the country.
The Seven Princes also lived up to the expectations of Emperor Heng, with talent and intelligence, and a steady appearance, although they were born in the emperor's family, they did not have the slightest arrogance, were modest, and had a good character. Since the age of ten began to participate in state affairs, although young, but quite insightful, in addition to the frail and sick, almost the perfect candidate for the prince, for a while, it was rumored that Emperor Heng intended to set up the seventh prince as the crown prince.
However, God is jealous of talents, and two months ago, the twelve-year-old Seventh Prince was chased and killed by assassins in Linzhou City, fell off a cliff, and died young.
Emperor Heng was furious and ordered Dali Temple to track down the murderer all night, but he didn't want to, it was the emperor's eldest son Xiao Jiming who was jealous of the seventh prince and secretly bought the murderer. Emperor Heng was heartbroken, but he was unwilling to tolerate the adulterer, and stripped the eldest son of the emperor from his title, and sent him to the Western Wilderness, and he was never allowed to enter Beijing.
"......" listened to this royal feud between brothers and fathers and sons in the capital, and Lin Yu felt deeply guilty.
She seems to have abducted the prince of a country, or maybe the future king of a country? plus the previous life, I also abducted twice!
"You really don't want to be a prince at all? Or, the future king of a kingdom? Looking at the young man on the opposite side who had already changed his appearance, wearing a half-worn green shirt, dressed as a poor scholar but at ease, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Jimo picked up the rough teacup in the inn, blew the tea foam floating in the cup, took a sip of the inferior coarse tea, and said lightly: "I've thought about it, it's just that I don't have that life, just let it go." ”
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, yes, he is really a smart person, between the trade-offs, he has no greed, and he is sober and clear enough, and he does not drag his feet.
Xiao Jimo may become Dayu's crown prince, but he will never be the next emperor of Dayu, because his life character does not have the emperor's qi, and he does not have the blessing of "dragon qi". A prince who has no luck will not get any good results, and the fight for the end is just a failure, in exchange for a desolate life.
The streets of the capital are bustling and noisy, and when the New Year is approaching, it is even more lively.
Xiao Jimo sat by the window on the second floor of the inn, looking at the country as an outsider for the first time. To the east of the capital is the huge palace, the most noble place in the whole Dayu, and he has lived in it for twelve years. However, now it seems that there is not much fluctuation in my heart, neither the ease of getting rid of the status of the prince, nor the regret and reluctance to miss the position of the prince, but there is a faint blankness.
He doesn't seem to be born with much obsession with anything, even if his father valued him and intended to support him, the talent he showed was just that he didn't want to disappoint his respected father.
As for the crown prince, or even the throne, he may have thought about it, but he didn't have much desire. Since reality told him that his father, whom he had always respected, did not want him to sit in that position, it was better to let it go. It's just that he doesn't want to go back, and the world is so big, where can he go?
He lied to Lin Yu at the beginning. In fact, he knew that he was haunted by the soul and that there was no cure, and even that he knew who the person who poisoned him was.
It was his father who had respected him for five years, and it was the eldest brother who treated him well on weekdays who sent people to hunt him down all the way.
