031, ambition
wants to ascend the throne and become the emperor, since Su Ling entered the game and devoted himself to the identity of the thirteen princes, who was the most unloved by the old emperor, according to normal development, he basically had no chance with the throne.
Standing up is not long, standing long is not long.
Even if the seven princes, including the crown prince, are dead now, the throne has nothing to do with Su Ling.
Among the existing aboriginal princes, whether they are the princes of the concubines or the princes who are older than him, there are still many of them.
Moreover, these aboriginal princes are not all mediocre.
The smiling tiger-like six princes, and the fourteenth prince who is obscure in Taoguang, both of them are also ambitious and coveting the throne.
In particular, the fourteen princes held the edict of the emperor and had close contacts with a general who controlled the military power on the border, but they were able to hold their patience and remain dormant.
It is equivalent to holding Wang Bang in his hand, seeing that his opponent is getting closer and closer to victory, but he can still remain calm and not make a rash move.
This dormant ability alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, don't look at all the players now that the prince has been eliminated by Su Ling, but in fact, the throne still can't be his turn.
What's more, his act of beheading the player who joined the Nine Emperors also caused the old emperor's extreme disgust.
Unless there is only one heir left, there is no other choice, but if there are two heirs, the old emperor probably will not pass the throne to him.
This is still normal.
And now, the princes have died one after another, and on this day they died seven at a time.
If he dies one after another in the future, and he is the only one left, even if the old emperor has no evidence, I am afraid that he will be determined to be the murderer.
This is not a modern society where everything is evidenced, but a feudal dynasty where the emperor is in his word, as long as the emperor has doubts, then the crime has been established.
Therefore, this seemingly feasible method of killing all the princes is actually not feasible.
In this case, there is only one way.
That is, get rid of the old emperor!
Of course, this method also needs to be carefully emphasized, not just killing the old emperor.
In this kind of world without the fantasy elements of Xianxia, Su Ling, who has the ability of [self-omniscience], wants to get rid of the old emperor too easily.
But what about after getting rid of it?
After the death of the old emperor, according to the etiquette rules of imperial succession, it was not his turn to sit on the throne.
Is it possible to get rid of other princes in the same way?
He can do this, but if he really does this, he will only have one bare-bones commander left, and he will not be able to support the entire royal family at all.
When the time comes, the following ambitions will take advantage of the successive deaths of the Zhou royal family to make a fuss, incite the people, and then rebel!
In this kind of era, communications are underdeveloped, and there is nowhere to refute rumors, which is the period when the effect of "people's words are terrible" is the peak.
After Su Ling ascended to the throne in this way, he had no majesty and no soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that it would not be long before he had to be changed to the dynasty.
Although this can also briefly ascend to the throne for a period of time and complete the main quest, it seriously violates his character of "the prince who is ambitious to be the emperor".
What is ambition?
In Su Ling's view, the so-called ambition is to become bigger and stronger!
The prince who is ambitious to be the emperor, in Su Ling's understanding, is to seize his throne by extraordinary means, and then become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance again!
Therefore, Su Ling would never use this method to ascend to the position.
What's more, he entered another martial arts training in the game to strengthen himself, and the purpose of grabbing the maximum benefit has not been achieved, so it is naturally impossible to end this game like this.
It can be said that after eliminating all the players, it is Su Ling's real performance time!
"The next thing is to wait."
In the courtyard of the imperial study, watching the unconscious old emperor being carried away, Su Ling thought in his heart.
He's already got everything in order, and it's time to move things forward.
That same evening.
Seven princes died in one day in the palace, and the gossip that the saint was fainted by anger spread throughout the capital in an instant.
Especially the details of this gossip, the process of assassinating the Nine Emperor Princes and killing the prince by mistake has been widely reported, and the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince, and the fifteenth prince were blown up and killed.
Combined with some dignitaries and nobles who lived close to the palace, they did hear the sound of a thunderbolt explosion in the direction of the palace on the same day.
"Eh, have you heard? Just yesterday, when our Long Live Lord summoned all the princes to admonish, the Nine Emperors suddenly lost their minds and stabbed the current saint in public, but accidentally killed the prince by mistake! ”
"What's more! I also heard that the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince, and the fifteenth prince, because they did something angry and resentful, in broad daylight, the sky was clear and all the thunder fell from the sky and killed them! ”
"OMG! What did the Great Zhou royal family do to hurt the heavens and reason, and they actually attracted such heavenly punishment! ”
"This is the faint king, the disaster from the sky!"
"Silence! If you want to die and talk about this outside, don't talk about it in my teahouse! ”
Countless rumors, as false rumors, began to spread throughout the capital.
Although the government of the capital immediately dispatched a large number of people to warn the teahouses and taverns in various sections of the capital, and arrested many people who spread the news on the spot, they still couldn't stop people's mouths.
And these news, not surprisingly, were exported to domestic sales, and flowed back into the palace again.
The old emperor, who was originally injured because of the loss of his seven sons, overheard the news, and directly "poofed", vomited blood on the spot, and then fell ill.
On the fifth day after the old emperor fell ill, there was a sudden rush of eight hundred miles on the border of the Great Zhou, and the Velvet Kingdom, which was adjacent to the Great Zhou and had been constantly rubbing, chose to invade the surrounding land at this time.
All of a sudden, the whole Great Zhou was in an uproar.
The originally prosperous Great Zhou suddenly became turbulent inside and outside, and the people were panicked and criticized.
But after the old emperor fell ill, he was drowsy and had no good solution, so he had to summon Li Qingyuan, the prime minister of the dynasty, and other important ministers into the palace to discuss countermeasures.
In view of the current situation, Li Qingyuan admonished the old emperor to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens to comfort the heavens and appease the people, and at the same time, send members of the royal family to the expedition to boost the morale of the people of the Great Zhou.
But the velvet country is a nomadic people, born with a strong physique, strong soldiers and horses, and is not afraid of death, if it is not for the large number of troops in the Great Zhou, it will not be able to suppress the invasion of the velvet country.
And Rao is like this, every time the velvet country invades, the soldiers and generals on the border of the Great Zhou will lose a lot, so it has become a problem to send that royal family member to accompany the expedition.
The existing princes, after hearing the news, changed color in unison.
Soon, however, they were no longer worried.
Because of this candidate, in fact, there have already been results.
……
In the early morning, the sun rises in the east.
The Royal Palace, the Prince's Pavilion.
"Whew~"
In the bedroom, a breath of cool air came out of Su Ling's mouth who was lying on the bed.
With this breath of cool air, a text appeared in his eyes and in his mind.
"Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Breathing Method" proficiency +1
[You have practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" 519 times, and the activity of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys has been transformed, with strength +0.01, agility +0.01, and physical strength +0.01. 】
In seven days, he finally practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" 519 times, so that the activity of the five internal organs was transformed, and the three attributes of strength, agility, and physical strength all increased by 0.01!
The enhancement of the attribute of 0.01 seems to be very small, but if the four attributes of ordinary people are all 1 as the standard, it is actually very strong!
In particular, the three attributes have been enhanced by 0.01 together!
At least, in Su Ling's senses, he could feel that his strength and muscles and bones had become much stronger, and his cardiopulmonary functions such as lung capacity had also become stronger.
"It can have this effect in seven days, and the 'breathing method' in this world is not as wasteful as I imagined."
Feeling the changes in his body, Su Ling was quite satisfied.
It was also when he felt that all three attributes of his body were enhanced by 0.01.
Outside the Prince's Pavilion, before anyone arrived, Gonggong Zhang's sharp voice had already come: "The Holy Decree has arrived~~"
Hearing Father-in-law Zhang's voice, Su Ling raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's finally here." ”
Everything he had carefully laid out before was for this opportunity to go on the expedition!
