"What you said is true?" The second prince's face was a little ugly.

"Yes, Your Highness, it is certain that the other party should already know about His Highness's ability, and also know some of the side effects of this ability.

I almost missed the big event of Your Highness, this is my dereliction of duty, please forgive Your Highness! ”

In the communication video, Archduke Houghton has a respectful face.

"It's just that they have limited information, and not only did they not get anything from me this time, but they exposed the secrets they had painstakingly arranged.

What I didn't expect was that Alfonso would be secretly controlled by them.

According to my guess, the other party should have found some clues in the secret guard of His Highness, and then attacked me. ”

"Is that so......" the second prince frowned.

The disappearance of the secret guard he had sent, and the immediate aftermath of Viscount Tiebi attacking Archduke Houghton, must have some connection between the two.

But he knew that the slightest abnormality of a secret guard would never reveal the secret of his abilities.

You must know that over the years, there have been many "missing" secret guards.

His opponents are not all mediocre, and they will be exposed early.

The other party definitely has other sources of information.

But what went wrong?

"Hah! It seems that the father is critically ill, and some people are already impatient......" The second prince's eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at Grand Duke Houghton again, "So which force do you think will be behind Alfonso?" ”

"This ...... Can't be sure.

The small ship that rescued Alfonso earlier was so extraordinary that it was able to treat our defenses as if they were nothing, and this is not something that an idle force can have.

The alliance of the Four Princes and the Eight Princes may have this ability, and the mysterious and unpredictable Society of the Unification of All Things is also suspicious.

In addition, Alfonso had a good personal relationship with the Nine Emperors when he was young, and recently he has risen to prominence.

If you want to talk about suspicion, this highness is the most suspicious! Grand Duke Horton analyzed.

"Ninth brother......" The second prince's face was slightly gloomy.

The sudden rise of the Nine Emperor Princes was indeed a variable that he did not expect.

During this time, the political situation in the imperial capital was surging, and the second prince suddenly became troubled, and used various means to suppress the nine princes, intending to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

This sudden action did have an effect, the previous high-spirited and frequent actions of the Nine Emperor Princes were like a stick, and many of the hidden forces that had just surrendered were exposed for some reason, and were swept away by the Nine Emperor Princes with a thunderous force.

This made many nobles who wanted to bet on the Nine Emperor Princes begin to wait and see cautiously, and the Nine Emperor Princes had to retract their tentacles that stretched out everywhere and shrank their forces around the imperial capital.

However, in the process, the second prince also found that the resources in the hands of the ninth prince were far beyond his expectations.

Even the country's important weapon, the imperial intelligence agency "Skynet", has completely fallen to the Nine Emperors.

To say this, without the acquiescence of His Majesty the Emperor, no one would believe it.

"I really didn't expect that Your Majesty would actually bet all the resources in his hands on the ninth brother, it seems that my father, the emperor, really loves the ninth brother to the bone......"

Judging from the information collected during this time, the emperor's support for the Nine Emperor Princes can almost be called "sparing no effort".

So much so that the second prince used seven or eight points of strength, but he failed to completely destroy the ninth prince.

"Your Highness, then what should we do now, since the opponent knows your ability, he will definitely take precautions against this, and the longer it drags on, the more likely this secret will be exposed!" Holden justice.

"Hah! Not that it may be exposed, but that it has been exposed! The second prince sneered.

It is said that the fourth and eighth children inexplicably spoke disrespectfully to themselves some time ago, and combined with today's events, even if he is dull, he can associate these things together.

...... who know their secrets It seems that Viscount Tiebi is not alone!

Thinking that so many people behind their backs actually used this method to test whether they were "charmed" by themselves, the second prince's face was a little constipated.

"What? Secrets exposed? Grand Duke Houghton looked startled.

"Humph! Do you think my father is really an old fool? My opponents have never been my stupid brothers! The second prince said in a quiet tone.

"Your Highness, what do you mean...... Your Majesty, he already knew? ”

"Of course, the person who sits on the highest throne of the empire has never been an old wolf who can only survive.

The authority and power of the emperor can only be appreciated when he sits in that seat......

Not to mention...... Where do you think my eldest brother and I got our abilities from? ”

Grand Duke Horton was shocked and hurriedly bowed his head.

"Hah! There is no one in ten thousand people with spiritual abilities, and there are even fewer people with strange abilities, why do you think our royal family can appear one after another people like me and my eldest brother?

Is it really because we are of noble blood? ”

The second prince's expression was quite complicated.

The more power he wields, the more he will be able to access the most central secrets of the empire......

And the complete secret...... It was undoubtedly only in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor who was terminally ill!

It was because of his fear of that person that he did not use his power unscrupulously to turn his brothers into his puppets.

Grand Duke Houghton bowed his head, shocked in his heart, but did not dare to have any thoughts of continuing to test this secret.

Seeing this, the second prince didn't care, and continued as if talking to himself.

"The ninth son took the heir, and I took a huge risk to get rid of the eldest brother, which made my father displeased.

But I originally thought that even if my father didn't like me anymore, he wouldn't break the rules and participate in the battle for the throne between the princes.

But now it seems that I was wrong.

Even Skynet has been given to the ninth brother by my father, and my secret should have reached the ears of the ninth brother in this way, and then it was known by Alfonso and the fourth brother.

Ha ha! Father's ...... It's a personal end! ”

That's right, at this time, the second prince has completely attributed the leak of his ability to the emperor's lack of martial virtue......

This is not that the second prince ignored Ma Zhe's suspicion, but compared to the unification of all things that has just emerged, the biggest enemy in his eyes is undoubtedly the royal family who are close to him.

"Your Highness, what should I do next?" Grand Duke Holden didn't dare to go deep on this topic, so he asked.

"You don't have to do anything, stabilize the hearts of the people in the Duke's Palace, your existence is the biggest constraint on your father.

As long as the military power of the Duke's Palace is in our hands for one day, my father will not dare to risk our mutiny and make too out-of-the-ordinary moves.

This incident also reminded us that although the Duke's Palace has you in charge, it is not foolproof.

It's a pity that if it weren't for my ability to be perfect, those middle and high-level officers would also be the ones who needed to be controlled. ”

The second prince had a little regret in his eyes.

The seduction is very strong.

But except for Archduke Horton, an absolute henchman who has been cultivated by the second prince for a long time, ordinary puppets have side effects of one kind or another.

It also needs to be "maintained" from time to time.

The more attractive people there are, the higher their status, the greater the possibility of their abilities being exposed.

Even if the target is the imperial nobles, the second prince often chooses those corrupt nobles who have been hollowed out by wine and have weak wills.

Such people tend to have extremely low resistance to charm, and they can use it for several years after brushing their skills once.

And with Archduke Houghton here, the Duke's Mansion can already be firmly controlled by the second prince.

Therefore, an iron-blooded soldier like Viscount Tiebi, who is not easy to control, is not cost-effective in the eyes of the second prince.

This is also the reason why they were able to escape the clutches of the second prince.

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as Your Highness ascends to the throne and has the supreme power, you will no longer have any scruples!

At that time, a powerful empire will emerge with His Highness as the center and loyal to His Highness.

Those nobles who have become corrupt and degenerate will no longer be obstacles, but will become die-hard and fanatical believers of His Highness!

In the hands of His Highness, the empire will surely flourish!

Even the three major dukes of the mechanical clan will eventually prostrate at the feet of the nascent empire! ”

Grand Duke Houghton's eyes were feverish, as if he was really about to witness the rise of a great empire.

"Not bad! The decaying empire is terminally ill!

Only I can save this empire, the power that I have given me from heaven, to remove all filth and make the empire great again! ”

The corners of the second prince's mouth hooked up a crazy arc.

From his standpoint, he should be the hero who saved the empire.

What about killing brothers? What about rebelling against the father?

Li Shimin's change in Xuanwumen, in the end, is not the achievement of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

The history books of later generations will only call him the first emperor of the ages!
