Empress Yun proposed to Emperor Jianye that she would inherit a son from the side branch to the crown prince, but Emperor Jianye felt that it would be more appropriate to inherit from the eldest prince or the heirs of the fourth prince. The emperor and queen had a dispute over this, and in the end, the matter of succession was not resolved.

The Seven Princes spent a lot of time in the barracks this year, and only went home once in a while. Queen Yun, who has always been inattentive to the Seven Princes, is now also beginning to be happy with the life of the Seven Princes. From time to time, he recruited the Seventh Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Imperial Concubine to go to the palace to talk, and the side concubine Yun Zige was originally the niece of Queen Yun, so the natural relationship was closer, so she was summoned to the palace more often.

The crown prince's body can no longer support it, and some of the ministers who originally supported the prince have turned to support the seven princes, while some ministers have joined the command of other princes. In the eyes of outsiders, the power of the imperial court is now a three-legged situation, and on the surface, the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the seventh prince are the main forces, but as for the thoughts of the other princes, not many people pay attention at this time.

The situation in the palace is even more treacherous, and the situation is more tense, but everyone who notices the abnormality begins to seek a way out for themselves.

However, Emperor Jianye still did not change the crown prince, or even crowned the king. For Emperor Jianye's brain circuit, everyone has lost hope. In the early years, he was also complacent, but unfortunately as he got older, he gradually became absurd.

A year earlier, the Seventh Prince had guarded the frontier, repelled the invasion of the steppe and Xuanguo, and made a peace treaty. However, in just a year, the grassland began to stir again.

A year ago, the neighboring Zhou State did not participate in the war of the three families, but chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, in large part because of the internal instability of the Zhou State. In just one year, the second prince Zhou Rang suppressed the other brothers with thunder, and even did not hesitate to wash the palace in blood, and finally forced the old emperor to abdicate and make way for Xian. After the new emperor ascended the throne, there was also a big change of blood in the court, not only quickly appointing a group of newcomers, but also vigorously opening the imperial examination to select newcomers. There has been a new vitality in the imperial court, but it has been less than a year, and it has already begun to bear fruit.

Now, the grassland has begun to move in the border area, and the Zhou State is also quietly sending troops to the border and deploying on the border, and the future is still unclear.

There are also new changes in Xuanguo, and the second prince of Xuanguo has returned. Emperor Xuanguo's heirs were difficult, and when the previous emperor died, there was only one immature prince left in the court. The three-year-old little prince Xuan Ce was supported to the throne, but the actual power of the imperial court was concentrated in the hands of Murong Taishi. Murong Taishi coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes to control the government, and all the orders of the imperial court were issued by Murong Taishi, and the folds were directly handed over to the Taishi, and even the jade seal was directly placed in the Taishi's mansion. Master Murong played a pivotal role in Xuanguo, treating the court as nothing, and even going to the court as soon as he wanted, and quitting the court if he didn't want to. If the minister has an urgent matter and needs to ask for an order, he actually wants to go to Murong Taishi's mansion to meet Murong Taishi.

The erosion of power has made the Murong family more and more inflated, and even the children of the side line have borrowed the power of their own family, pretending to be powerful, endangering one side, and the people dare not speak out. When the empress dowager came from the Murong Taishi Mansion, she nominally supported the young emperor and listened to the government, but in fact she didn't care about state affairs and only cared about personal pleasure. The Empress Dowager's palace was magnificent and extravagant. The middle-aged and lonely Queen Mother raised her face in her own palace and sang and danced.

However, there are still a few ministers in the imperial court who are sticking to it, but it is just a lonely hand. Half a year before the death of the previous emperor, he announced to the world that he also had a second prince who was in exile. And made a holy decree to give the second prince the title of prince, named Prince Yin, in charge of the 50,000 personal guards stationed in Huangling, these 50,000 men and horses are directly serving the emperor and passed down from generation to generation. If one day the second prince enters Beijing with the token tiger talisman in his hand, future generations will not be embarrassed.

For this unappeared Prince Yin, everyone was curious. Especially the army of 100,000 is really a thorn in Murong Mansion's heart. It's a pity that no matter how much Murong Mansion's eyeliner is all over the place, for more than ten years, almost the entire Xuanguo has been looted, and even in line with the principle of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake, the people below have secretly disposed of a lot of boys who are suspected of being the second prince, but they still can't find any trace of the second prince, let alone the mysterious tiger talisman.

What's even more worrying is that in order to prevent accidents, Master Murong once wanted to do something to these 50,000 people. If the 50,000 men and horses are eliminated first, then no matter when the second prince returns, what does it matter. Rao is that he has three heads and six arms, and there is no one in his hands, how much wind and waves can he turn over. It's just like the little emperor, obediently becoming a puppet prince.

However, the spies sent by Master Murong to inquire about the news of the imperial tomb came back and said that no one was gone. A whole 50,000 people disappeared out of thin air! This information was suppressed and kept strictly secret. This is also something that Master Murong has been worried about for more than ten years, just afraid that there will be some accidents.

The loyal old minister is also complicated about this Prince Yin. also looked forward to the early return of the second prince and presided over the overall situation. However, when he thought that the second prince was just a child younger than the emperor, and even everyone didn't even know how old he was, he didn't have a bottom.

Master Murong hinted to himself in his heart that more than ten years have passed, and he has searched the entire Xuanguo, almost turning it upside down, and still has not found any second prince. Presumably, the old emperor put himself together before he died, so he set up a suspicious situation.

As for the disappearance of the 50,000 defenders of the Imperial Tomb, this is what he should be worried about. When the old emperor died, the little prince Xuan Ce was only three years old, so what second prince was just a yellow-haired child younger than Xuan Ce, how could he have such a great ability to transfer the 50,000 horses of the imperial tomb? It's ridiculous to think about. The defenders of the Imperial Tomb disappeared, and someone must have taken advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and all the attempts were real. However, 50,000 people, not five people, fifty people, how can it be said that they disappear and disappear? Even the entire Xuanguo couldn't find out where 50,000 people were harbored.

More than ten years have passed, and the old ministers have also given up. Where will there be any second prince? There were also those who suspected that it was just the imagination of the old emperor. Many old ministers have chosen to return to their hometowns, and they can't hold on anymore. Holding it in the court doesn't play a role, it's just a few more corpses.

The hearts of the people are troubled and have no peace.

However, when everyone felt hopeless, the impossible person appeared!
