Chapter Eighty-Three: Disappointment
After Xiao Jingyu was assassinated, the secret guard sent the news back to the capital as soon as possible, and the emperor was furious when he learned that his precious son was assassinated.
It is necessary to find out who is behind the scenes.
But the people behind the scenes were very careful, and they only found out that it was done by the people of the Night Alliance, but everyone knows that the Night Alliance is just a knife, but the person who really holds the knife can't find out.
But who is the emperor, he is the biggest conspirator, and he is the best at speculation.
It doesn't matter if there is no conclusive evidence, let's see who benefits the most if Yu'er dies.
Although Yu'er always gets into trouble, it is all inconsequential little things, and it does not really threaten the fundamental interests of those people, so that people will not want to get rid of it quickly, let alone spend money to kill him.
Yu'er is the prince, and this is the only one who can make people kill.
Who has the motive to commit such a killer?
It seems that all harem concubines with princes have such motives, but if you think about it carefully, it is not.
Yu'er's status is respected, and her status among the princes is second only to the eldest prince, if Yu'er is in anyone's way, it can only be the eldest prince, because other princes can't reach it, even if in addition to Yu'er, there is also the eldest prince in the way, and if you want to kill someone, you must kill the eldest prince first, which is the biggest obstacle.
Things became clear and clear all of a sudden, and nine times out of ten it was the queen and the eldest prince who did it.
Nine times out of ten, it is actually a yes.
Combined with the palace report, on the day Yu'er was assassinated, the eldest prince happened to enter the palace to greet the queen.
After the prince gets married, he will live separately, the eldest prince has been married for many years, although he enters the palace to ask the queen for peace every now and then, but how can it be so coincidental, he just entered the palace that day.
And it is said that the eldest prince's face was gloomy and hurried that day.
Why is his face gloomy, it must be because he is unhappy that the assassination failed.
Hmph, fortunately, Yu'er is diligent in practicing martial arts, otherwise they would have succeeded.
It's still his Yu'er who is amazing.
Although it is good to study hard, can you save your life when you are good at reading? You can still endorse the enemy to death!
But there are regrets, if Yu'er likes to read and can write and martial arts, this is not a ready-made candidate for the prince.
In the end, no one is perfect, and you can't force too much.
Although Yu'er doesn't like to read, she is kind-hearted, pure and filial, which is a hundred times better than the eldest prince.
He once considered making Yu'er the crown prince, but now making a person the prince is tantamount to a live target, which is not good for both Concubine Rong and Yu'er.
It is better to let the queen and the eldest prince block in front first, so that Rong Guifei's mother and son will be safer.
Besides, he is still healthy now, and he can still manage the Great Qianchao for a while, so let Yu'er live happily.
In fact, he still hopes in his heart that the eldest prince can be more successful.
He delayed the establishment of the prince, and he also hoped that the eldest prince could understand what he meant.
That is, he, the emperor, is not satisfied with the eldest prince, and hopes that the eldest prince can continue to improve until he is satisfied.
Although he is the Son of Heaven, he is also a father, although he doesn't like the queen, but the eldest prince is his son in the end, why doesn't he love the eldest prince?
That was his first son, and he also had high hopes for a successor to Jiangshan Sheji, but in the end he disappointed him.
He thinks he is the best among people, otherwise he would not have succeeded in winning the throne back then.
But the eldest prince is too mediocre, is it inherited from the queen?
Even if it's mediocre, it's narrow-minded.
A narrow-minded emperor will not tolerate his brothers and sisters, and this is what worries him the most.
Sure enough, his worries came true, he was still alive, and the eldest prince dared to make a move against Yu'er, not only narrow-minded, but also vicious, how could such a person be worthy of a big responsibility?
He felt very tired, how could it be so difficult to cultivate a qualified heir.
As a father, it is naturally good to look at Yu'er, but as an emperor, you can't be too mediocre.
Jiangshan Sheji is not a child's play, how to govern the country without ink in the stomach, it is easy to be guarded by the ministers, and when the power falls, the emperor will be like a puppet, so it is better not to be the emperor.
But Yu'er really doesn't like to read, in order to let Yu'er study, he doesn't know how many ways he has thought of, how many gentlemen he has changed, but it still doesn't work, all the gentlemen are so angry that they blow their beards and stare at them, and the older ones can't stand it.
Alas, what can be done, it's really sad.
Yu'er is really unmotivated to study, if only someone could be Yu'er's motivation.
Sometimes he really wants to ask Qin Tian to calculate a hexagram to see if there is such a person, if there is, even if he has three visits to the thatched house, he has to invite someone to come.
Forget it, don't think about reading for now, it's important to save Yu'er's life for now.
This kid is really, he has nothing to do when he is idle, so that he, an old father, has to worry about his son when he sits in the imperial study.
called the commander of the dark guard, and selected the most elite group of secret guards to protect King Huai.
In addition, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the queen and the eldest prince did it, the emperor has already determined this matter in his heart, so he does not intend to spare the mother and son.
The queen was born in the Chengyuan Marquis Mansion, and since the queen entered the palace, in order to show the emperor's grace, he allowed the queen's father and brother to enter the court as officials one after another, but they were all inconsequential idle positions.
The emperor knows in his heart that the queen's father and brother are all ambitious and talented, and they have no real talent at all, so they can't be placed in important positions, so no matter how much her father and brother jump over the years, it is very difficult to get promoted.
He knew that the father and son of the Marquis of Chengyuan had been bouncing and playing up and down, but with him, the emperor, pressing, who would dare to let their father and son be promoted, would they be tired and crooked?
He was very disdainful of this kind of behavior, and wanted their father and son to suffer a loss, so he asked the prince to hint at one or two, meaning that if the emperor Chengyuan Marquis and his son received all the gifts, they didn't have to be polite, to put it bluntly, they only collected money and didn't do anything.
For the sake of the face of the queen and the eldest prince, he has never bothered with these clowns, but now that the queen's mother and son are so restless, don't blame him for being polite.
Chengyuan Hou's father and son are working everywhere in order to be promoted, as far as he knows, the cost is not small, which is far beyond what they should have, and this family is not good at business, where does the money come from? The designated hands and feet are not clean, either greedy for ink or bribery, one check is accurate.
So he asked the prince to instruct someone to investigate.
Sure enough, it took less than a day to find out.
The emperor was laughed at when he saw the result.
Even though they knew that the hands and feet of the Marquis of Chengyuan could not be clean, they didn't expect that people could be so bold, they were simply stupid, they really became the emperor when they were the eldest prince, and this world was already the world of their Chengyuan Marquis Mansion?
With such a foreign family, the eldest prince will never become the crown prince, unless the foreign family dies!
The prince was very efficient, and the next day, there was a royal historian in the court to play the father and son of the Marquis of Chengyuan, saying that they were greedy for money, openly solicited bribes, robbed the people's daughters, and disregarded human life, and all kinds of crimes were simply too numerous to mention.
The eldest prince was stunned at the time, this imperial history is crazy? Why did he suddenly participate in his foreign family!
