Chapter 41: The Whetstone
Just when the eldest prince and the twenty-sixth prince competed.
Ouchi of the Imperial Palace.
The emperor was listening to the eunuch's report.
The content is impressively the matter of the twenty-sixth prince Manmengyang.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince, the third princess, the fifth prince, and the seventh princess suddenly attacked five days ago, and the rest of the forces were invincible.
Among the many princes, only twenty-six princes secretly have strong martial arts.
In the confrontation with the great prince, a strong force was reflected.
The battle resulted in heavy casualties for the Great Prince.
At the same time, the twenty-sixth prince seems to have a connection with the anti-thief Black Lotus Sect.
After the defeat, the twenty-sixth prince killed himself.
The third princess effortlessly subdued it, and the power of the fourteenth prince and the power of the twenty-second prince were also all owned by him.
The Five Princes unexpectedly showed strong force, and most of them were deceased masters in the martial arts.
Now that he has defeated the Seventeen Princes, he is gathering his forces.
The seventh princess also relied on the cover of some neutral officials in the imperial court to devour the backers behind the fifteenth princess.
……”
A whole bunch of reports, summed up in the ears of the emperor.
As an emperor, he does not interfere unless it threatens his throne.
The fact that the ancestral system cannot interfere does not mean that it cannot understand the situation.
It is also good to have a certain degree of understanding of the next successor, so that the succession can be smoothly passed.
The emperor did not express any opinion.
As one of the Overseers, he doesn't show any inclination easily.
At the same time, as an emperor, he is also used to not making any intentions at will.
Being in a high position, sometimes saying the wrong sentence may be interpreted by the people below to mean it differently.
So as an emperor, he has become accustomed to being expressionless and not easily expressing his opinions.
I listened and watched silently.
After the eunuch finished reporting and went out, it seemed that the emperor was left alone in the room.
But he said into the air, "Who do you think more of the four?" A voice came from a dark place: "This matter is a royal family matter, and it is inconvenient for my subordinates to say more." ”
The emperor said, "Hehe, there are only me and you here, why be afraid? "The rules can't be broken."
Emperor: "Hey, I'm really alone, even you don't dare to talk to me, who else can say something from the heart?" After waiting for a while, the emperor continued: "Then you don't ask who you like, you can just talk about Mengyang." ”
"The subordinates have nothing to say, the subordinates have already told His Majesty about the Black Lotus Sect. My duty is only for His Majesty's safety, and nothing else is taken care of, this is the rule. ”
Emperor: "Yes, when you first reported, I remember what I said was that the dark soldiers did not move and turned Mengyang into a whetstone for my successor, right?" "Yes."
Emperor: "Do you think I'm cruel?" Tiger poison doesn't eat children, I'm not even as good as a beast. ”
"Your Majesty has been worried, and when you are in the royal family, you must have this awareness. Mengyang's child chose his own path. ”
Emperor: "Hehe, the path you chose, to put it well, it's a long road for people to grow, and it's a happy thing to be able to find your own way to go on."
According to the intelligence, Mengyang was unwilling to leave, but unfortunately he didn't realize that since he took the Black Lotus to teach him, he was busy in vain. ”
The emperor seemed to say to himself: "You say, can the boss take the thirteenth?"
Probably not.
The boss is just a little too decent.
For the court officials to take it too seriously.
It's hard to put together three first-class masters, and now two are injured.
Will the other three take advantage of the fire to rob them?
hehe
The third, fifth, and seventh ......"
The emperor was talking to himself, and his voice slowly became smaller.
If the winners of this battle heard this conversation, they would have been shocked.
Who would have thought that the emperor in the palace would have a clear view of the situation.
Even the people of the Black Lotus Sect who had infiltrated the henchmen of the twenty-six princes were under his control.
This is the sudden attack of the eldest prince to force out this big fish.
The twenty-sixth prince turned out to be just a whetstone.
It can be seen how ruthless the emperor is today.
Since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection, and for the continuation of the barbarian, what is a brother.
And the Great Barbarian Ancestral System is not the kind of family that emphasizes warmth.
The master with great ability, the law of the jungle of Chiguoguo, there is nothing wrong with it.
Although it seems a little more explicit, compared to the continuation of the great barbarian country.
In the face of personal feelings and righteousness, everyone knows what to choose.
This is not an idol drama, you can scare the air for love.
In the face of a serious and cruel reality, no one is surprised to die.
So the poor twenty-six princes became a whetstone in the hands of the emperor.
It became the whetstone of the heir of the Great Barbarian Empire.
Poor life, with unwillingness to go.
Although it is worthy of sympathy, it does not make my father have a trace of pity.
On the contrary, it was the eldest prince when he saw his younger brother cut off his heart.
Crying like a mess.
The Great Prince's intention was not to take his brother's life, even though this younger brother had caused great damage to his power.
That is, the eldest prince is a person who pays attention to affection, and a large number of people have gathered around him to work hard for him.
The twenty-sixth prince, who was lying in the arms of the eldest prince, actually did not die immediately.
The vitality of the warrior is extremely tenacious.
He used his last strength to say to the eldest prince: "Big brother, you are a good person, but unfortunately your heart is too soft-hearted and not suitable for being an emperor, you should give up quickly."
This was my brother's last exhortation. With that, he died.
Man Mengyang became the only royal child to die in this raid.
Because of his resistance, the eldest prince's assault on the thirteenth prince Manmengwen had no follow-up.
The Kingsguard dodged the attack intact.
The Black Lotus Sect reappeared in the mansion of an important prince.
The imperial court must investigate to the end.
At the same time, such a big thing happened in the capital, and martial law was certain throughout the whole process.
The four major forces, the three princesses have achieved all the success.
The five princes and the seventh princess also gained a little.
The saddest thing is the eldest prince.
This time, the serious shortcomings in the preparation work and the inaccurate information caused a big loss.
In addition, because he killed the younger brother of the twenty-sixth prince, he felt guilty, and he didn't integrate his own forces for a while.
Some of the subordinates who had suffered heavy losses seemed to have lost their backbone.
The third princess, the fifth prince, and the seventh princess, on the one hand, the novices who digested it, on the other hand, quietly dug into the corner of the eldest prince.
In this operation, the performance of the eldest prince was disappointing.
There were some people who were not so faithful and began to waver.
Judging whether a person can achieve great things is not based on how good he is, but what he does in adversity.
Obviously, the eldest prince is not qualified.
While the three forces took advantage of the fire to rob, suddenly another force also secretly gathered the power of the great prince.
Originally, the third princess, the fifth prince, and the seventh princess were still in the honeymoon period of alliance with the eldest prince.
They can't dig into the corners of the wall generously, and they also contain each other.
Because they all want to hide it, some people who can't dig it think that they have been poached by others.
This creates an opportunity for the other side.
Unexpectedly, another force was created: the Ten Princes' Manmenghei.
