At the beginning of last year, when the crown prince was in charge of the country, there were rumors in the court that the prince was incompetent.

And in the summer of this year, there was a big flood in the Xieshui Mansion, and the prefect of the Xieshui Mansion actually concealed it and did not report it, and it was exposed afterwards. Although the imperial court distributed enough relief food afterwards, it also caused a very bad impact because it was time-barred.

Moreover, this happened during the prince's imprisonment, and the prefect of Xieshui Mansion also insisted that he had reported this matter to the prince, but the prince was afraid that such a major event would happen in the south of the Yangtze River during his imprisonment, so he signaled him to suppress the matter, and he was just acting on the orders of the prince at that time.

Although the prince did not admit it, this matter was full of human and material evidence, that is, the prefect of Xieshui Mansion at that time was also recommended by the prince, and he was the prince's person, and the prefect of Xieshui Mansion gave the prince an urgent report about the flood in Xieshui Mansion at that time was also investigated. Moreover, at the same time, there were also people in the court who exposed the collusion between the prince and his foreign town.

Although Emperor Rongsheng didn't believe that the prince would do such a thing, he was forced to temporarily imprison the prince in Zongren's Mansion under the pressure of hundreds of officials.

However, before the prince's case was clarified, the prince had already been found guilty of suicide in the Zongren Mansion.

Although Emperor Rongsheng is old, he is not confused, he knows the prince's personality no matter how well he is, of course he will not have no doubts about this matter!

So, after some investigation, the matter was quickly clear.

It turned out that the prince's matter was actually done by the second prince and Jingle Houfu together, and other princes also participated in this matter later!

In addition to the deceased crown prince, there are also the thirteenth prince Zheng Shiyan, who was rumored to have disappeared nine years ago and died, and there are seven princes who are still alive in Emperor Rongsheng, and these seven princes are currently adults.

When the crown prince was still there, these seven princes were all in the capital, except for the ten princes who were congenitally deficient and had no talent, the others were all interested in the position above the high hall.

These seven princes are the second prince from Concubine Xian, the fifth prince from Concubine Li, the seventh prince from Lu Guifei, the eighth prince from Huang Jieyu, and the tenth prince from Liu Meiren, and the remaining nine princes, as well as the biological mother of the twelfth prince, are lowly concubines or palace maids who have no name.

Among the seven princes, the current strongest is the second prince, and the biological mother of the second prince is the virtuous concubine of the head of the four concubines with the highest ranking in the harem.

Concubine Xian came from Jingle Houfu, Jingle Houfu is the same as Zhenbei Houfu, their ancestors were once famous military generals, and they were great contributors to the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty.

However, unlike the Zhenbei Hou Mansion that is willing to guard Mobei, the ambition of Jingle Houfu and the pursuit of prosperity are much stronger!

Moreover, the second prince's grandfather, the current Jingle Hou, is the Shangshu of this household, with a high position, and his eldest son, Jingle Hou, is the chief general of the 150,000 Jiangnan garrison!

In addition to the 380,000 troops in the hands of Emperor Rongsheng, the other is the 200,000 Mo family army in the hands of Mo Yuntian, and then the 150,000 Jiangnan garrison in this Jingle Houfu!

Although Emperor Rongsheng had the largest military strength of the Great Qi Dynasty in his hands, the 380,000 troops in his hands were in addition to the 80,000 garrisons in the capital, and the other 300,000 troops were guarded in various places of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the troops were extremely scattered and difficult to control.

Therefore, in addition to the Mo family army guarding Mobei, the troops concentrated in the Great Qi Dynasty were counted as the 150,000 Jiangnan garrisons in Jingle Houfu.

Therefore, the Jingle Houfu, which holds 150,000 Jiangnan garrisons in his hands, is undoubtedly the second prince's greatest reliance.

The second prince is undoubtedly the most powerful prince who can compete with the crown prince, and even when the prince is there, there is a voice in the court to abolish the prince and set up the second prince.

In this round of strength, in addition to the second prince, the five princes from Concubine Li and the seven princes from Lu Guifei are the second largest princes.

The biological mother of the five princes, Concubine Li, is the only one in the harem of Concubine Xian, and her foreign family is also the current prominent Jinyang Bofu in the court, and the maternal grandfather of the five princes, the current Jinyang Bo, is the official of the dynasty.

As for the Seven Princes, his grandfather is the Chi family, a century-old family, and the grandfather of the Seven Princes is the current head of the Chi family, and he is also the current right minister.

In addition to the first-party forces of the second prince, the second-party forces of the fifth prince and the seventh prince, and then the eighth prince from Huang Jieyu, and the third prince from Liu Meiren, the third prince.

However, the eight or eleven princes not only have a low position of their biological mothers, but their foreign families are just ordinary eunuchs, compared to the second prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince, their power is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary!

As for the remaining Nine Emperor Princes, and the Twelve Princes, their status is even lower, their biological mother's status is low, and they don't even have a name. In addition to the title of this prince, their lives in the capital are even inferior to the children of powerful officials!

This time the prince was unjustly convicted, the second prince was the mastermind and the one who took the lead, and the remaining six princes, except for the ten princes who were born weak and had no intention of political affairs, although the other princes were not the masterminds, they also added a fire to it.

Of course, among these accomplices, of course, the five princes and the seventh prince have contributed the most!

Therefore, the crown prince can be said to be the second prince taking the lead, and the fifth prince and the seventh prince also contributed to the great power of the two princes to step down together, and finally died tragically. However, the other eighth, ninth, and twelfth princes also participated!

After the prince's unjust case was clarified, Emperor Rongsheng dealt with and abolished the eight princes, the ninth prince, and the twelve princes, but the second prince who was the mastermind, the fifth prince, the biggest accomplice, and the seventh prince were unshakeable by the current Emperor Rongsheng!

As a result, the prince's unjust case can only be temporarily counted in the hands of the eighth, ninth, and twelfth princes of cannon fodder.

After the reshuffle of the prince's unjust case, there are now two princes, five princes, seven princes, and ten princes and four princes left in the capital!

The body of the Ten Princes has been sick since he was a child, he is congenitally deficient, and his talents are also ordinary and can no longer be ordinary, so it is impossible for him to become the next king at all.

And the remaining two princes, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince, all of them have great power support behind them!

It can be said that these three princes are currently the most powerful princes to inherit the throne.

However, all three princes are ambitious, and their families are also restless.

It can be said that no matter Emperor Rongsheng hands over the country to any of them, it will cause a bloody battle!

Moreover, even if any of these three princes ascended the throne, the Great Qi Dynasty would most likely face the risk of the dictatorship of their relatives next!

Therefore, Emperor Rongsheng, who was difficult to choose, remembered Zheng Shiyan, the thirteenth prince who was far away in the border city, after this prince's unjust case!

The thirteenth prince Zheng Shiyan was born to the most favored concubine in Emperor Rongsheng's life, and Zheng Shiyan has also been smart since he was a child, and he is deeply liked by Emperor Rongsheng!

Zheng Shiyan, who was only ten years old at the time, was inadvertently praised by Emperor Rongsheng for his occasional political opinions.

But somehow these words were known to people outside!

As a result, for a while, Zheng Shiyan became the public enemy of his brothers.

At this time, Zheng Shiyan's foreign family, which had gradually declined at that time, was soon involved in a major treason case.

Under the leadership of Jingle Houfu and Jinyang Bofu, as well as Prime Minister Chi Cheng, all the officials at that time asked Emperor Rongsheng to severely punish the Dingguo Mansion at that time, and even some people wrote to Emperor Rongsheng to abolish Zheng Shiyan's status as a prince and give death to the concubine.

In the end, even with the maintenance of Emperor Rongsheng, the Dingguo Mansion at that time was still full of slashes, and even Concubine Shu was forced to overflow.

However, Zheng Shiyan was secretly sent out of the palace by Emperor Rongsheng under the entrustment of Concubine Shu!

After that, Emperor Rongsheng made another move to hide people's eyes, making the world think that Zheng Shiyan was dead, and the matter came to an end temporarily.

Emperor Rongsheng is a dignified king, he was threatened by his courtiers and had to dispose of his favorite woman and send away his most proud son, he has long had a grudge against Jingle Houfu, Jinyang Bofu, and the Chi family!

But a king, he is not as omnipotent as people think, not to mention that these power patterns have existed since the previous dynasty, the forces of all parties are already deep-rooted, and the interests behind them are also criss-crossed, so even Emperor Rongsheng, as a king, is impossible to shake them.

Therefore, after Emperor Rongsheng sent away the most ideal successor Zheng Shiyan in his mind, he established a mediocre talent, but the eldest son who was still relatively powerful at that time and did not have so much ambition was supported by the Zhenguo Mansion as the crown prince.

The crown prince is the eldest son of Emperor Rongsheng, and the Zhenguo Mansion at that time was also quite powerful, so the position of the prince was justified in his reputation.

Emperor Rongsheng hoped that in the future, when the crown prince ascended the throne, all forces would be under the hands of the prince, continue to do things for the prince, and contain each other, so as to balance the forces of all parties.

However, it backfired, and the crown prince died before he could ascend the throne!

This can be regarded as completely disrupting Emperor Rongsheng's plan and chess game, and catching Emperor Rongsheng off guard!

Now, the weakening Emperor Rongsheng can be said to be in a hurry for the matter of the next successor, but he is now powerless!

There was no suitable heir around him, so Emperor Rongsheng once again set up Zheng Shiyan as the next generation of kings.

In the winter of this year, Emperor Rongsheng issued a secret edict to Mo Yuntian and asked him to secretly take Zheng Shiyan back to Beijing.

Mo Yuntian still remembers very clearly what happened on the night when he took Zheng Shiyan's secret and was revealed by Emperor Rongsheng in the imperial study!

That night, after Emperor Rongsheng had a long talk with Zheng Shiyan, Mo Yuntian was also called into the imperial study!

At that time, Emperor Rongsheng, who was not dazzled, asked him with burning eyes: "Chengxi, in your opinion, which of my sons do you think is the most suitable for this king?"

Although Emperor Rongsheng asked casually, Mo Yuntian didn't think that Emperor Rongsheng was just asking casually.

So, when he heard this, Mo Yuntian solemnly stated his position: "The minister does not dare to influence His Majesty's decision, the ancestors of the Mo family are training, and the Mo family is only loyal to the emperor for generations!"

Mo Yuntian's words clearly told Emperor Rongsheng that he would not join any prince's camp, he would only be loyal to the emperor who sat on the high hall!

"Good, good, good, worthy of being my minister!" Emperor Rongsheng couldn't help but stroking his hands when he heard this.
