The Dayan royal family is no better than the big business, and there is a lot of chaos in it, and as for the intrigue, it is naturally better.

The main reason is that the emperor likes to let his sons have their own powers, and he does not stop them, this is his self-confidence. As long as he wants, he can deprive the crown prince and the prince of their rights at any time.

In this kind of thing, the Dayan royal family is in the same line. Now this emperor was not a prince decades ago, but just a prince with no power and no power. And his mother is only a concubine in the palace who is not favored by the emperor.

The other princes all have the support of the family behind them, not to mention how noble their mother is. People say that mothers are more expensive than children, but in this palace it is the opposite. How far a prince can go is largely determined by how much power he holds in the hands of his mother's family.

And the emperor, who was still the prince at the time, was very smart not to take the lead in participating in the competition for the crown prince. Even if you want to fight, you can't fight. Second, he and his mother both like a dull life.

However, it turned out that the emperor at that time just did not experience what it was like to be in power. Otherwise, he would not really feel at ease to be a prince, and if the emperor who ascended the throne thought of brotherhood in the future, he would also arrange for an idle prince to do it for him.

No one would have thought that he would be the one who would sit in that chair in the future. However, a sudden palace turmoil broke the pattern that should have lasted.

It turned out that the initiator of all this was the crown prince at the time, and he listened to slander, and he attached too much importance to his ascension to the throne, so he decided to arrange this battle in the palace after a long plan. However, the emperor did not die in this palace turmoil, because a few days before that bloody night, the previous head of the royal family had already entered the capital. He not only stopped the rebels, but also killed the crown prince with his own hands at the behest of the emperor.

In this way, the position of the crown prince fell on the current emperor. And he also showed his unparalleled ability in a short period of time, in the days when the emperor went out of Beijing, he greatly rectified the atmosphere of the court, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Although it is far from the point where the road is left behind, it is of course much better than the devastation after the palace chaos.

And he also took advantage of this to become the emperor today. It can even be said that Dayan's current heyday is all due to him. As if he was tired of the boredom in the palace, he began to set his sights on several princes.

It's a pity that the crown prince is cowardly, and the second prince is ruthless, and they are not the best candidates to make Dayan's national strength even better. As for the remaining few, some are frail and sickly, and whether they can survive him is one thing. Some people have no ambitions, let him sit on this chair, how can Dayan block the big businessmen in the south? In less than a hundred years, Dayan will definitely become the next Yunmeng.

Only the young Nine Emperor Princes are better in talent and ability than when he was young.

In the palace tonight, the emperor was alone in the temple of the god of cultivation, looking at the piles on the table that were taller than people. Looking up at the waning moon outside the window, he was on a whim, and he had been quiet

The eunuch who was waiting beside him said, "I have summoned my sons to come to this temple of cultivation, I have something to say to them. ”

"Your Majesty, it's already so late......" the eunuch bowed his head and spoke.

The Emperor replied, "Just go and summon you." The palace is not small, and the place where my sons live is far away, so you can let people drive there in a carriage. ”

The eunuch did not dare to say much, so he bent down and withdrew from the temple of the god of cultivation, and rode a carriage to the palace where the prince and the rest of the princes lived.

Although it was already late at night, the entire palace in the capital was brightly lit. The eunuch walked up the stairs, said to the guards in front of the East Palace, and walked in.

The prince crouched in front of the desk, naturally he didn't sleep. For the past two days, he has been thinking about how to gain the upper hand in the alliance with the business school. Although the purpose of the two is the same, they are both to kill Zhuge Chen. But there is still competition between the princes, not to mention that these two are still in two countries.

And as soon as he thought about it, his face flushed with excitement. It's even more fun if you ask yourself.

What will he do?

Of course, after refusing, he learned from the indifferent face of the white clothes and smiled with him. Turning his head, he looked at himself in the mirror and laughed.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has instructed the old slave to let you leave for the Cultivation Temple immediately. At that moment, an untimely voice came.

The crown prince hurriedly stopped his laughter, he stood up from the ground, squinted his eyes, and said, "My father summoned me alone?"

The eunuch replied, "No, it's all the princes." ”

"yes, I see. My father-in-law doesn't have to stay with me for long, so let's go to the palace of the rest of the brothers. The prince frowned and spoke.

"Yes. The eunuch agreed, withdrew from the East Palace, and continued to the rest of the palace.

In the East Palace, the crown prince turned to look behind the curtain and asked respectfully, "Sir, what do you want to say when my father wants us to go to the Yang Shen Temple so late?"

"I don't know. The voice of the young master of the crown prince came from it: "Your Majesty's thoughts, how dare we courtiers speculate on our own merits? The prince just goes, it shouldn't be a bad thing." Even if it were, it would probably not threaten the East Palace for the time being. ”

The prince sighed and put on his extraordinarily luxurious prince clothes surrounded by a group of palace maids.

"The prince should also remember that he must not rebel against His Majesty in public because of a moment of anger in his heart. The young master of the crown prince said after coughing lightly.

"Sir, rest assured. After the prince said this, he walked out of the East Palace. took a carriage that had been parked in front of the East Palace Gate for him to leave the palace and drove in the direction of the Yang Shen Temple.

......

On the way to the temple of the crown prince, the second prince, who was full of resentment, returned to his palace. And the eunuch who was in charge of the emperor's interrogation had left, and he only got one news.

is different from the crown prince, the second prince is a very master who sees things that he decides and will not change easily. It was precisely because of this stubborn self-confidence that he would not respect what the emperor had specially arranged for him

Young Master.

So the relationship between the two has always been very simple, and when they meet in this palace, they are polite to each other, but anyone with a discerning eye can see the estrangement between the two.

Tonight, too, after the second prince got the news, he changed his clothes, got into the carriage again, and left his palace. And the young master just stood in front of the palace gate, looking at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, and sighed.

He and the sick prince and young master went out of the same house, but they looked down on each other and always wanted to beat each other. can know that now, the two have mixed wins and losses. Only in the matter of whose disciple can sit on that chair can we truly compete for the winner.

In his heart, objectively speaking, of course, the second prince is better. Even with the help of his own junior brother, the prince still did many wrong things. Although they are all mistakes that can be forgiven by the emperor, the cowardly temperament has already doomed the crown prince to become the emperor, and the possibility is very small.

But the second prince is overconfident in himself, and sooner or later he will mistake himself. There was a sentence that he hid in his heart, but he never said it to the second prince. That is, you must not contradict Your Majesty, even if some things have touched the bottom line, you can only endure it.

As for why you don't say it, it must be the pedantic spirit of the literati.

He laughed to himself and walked back to the palace.

......

The second prince also didn't expect that he would be the last to arrive at the Yang God Temple. Fortunately, the emperor would not be strict about things like this, but after a glance at the second prince, he said, "Since you are all here, I have something to say to you." ”

The prince raised his head, glanced at his father, and then lowered his head for a moment. The crown prince had always been extremely afraid of looking at the emperor, and deep down he had a feeling that the other party could not only penetrate his mind, but also grasp his thoughts.

The emperor looked at his sons and continued: "I have thought about it for a long time and decided to crown your ninth brother as the Prince of Wuzhu, what do you think about this?"

As soon as these words came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the princes opened their eyes in amazement. Some looked at the Nine Emperor Princes, and their frowning brows immediately stretched, not daring to show more dissatisfaction in this Cultivation Temple, especially in front of the emperor.

According to common sense, the prince can be crowned a prince, and it will be after five or six out of ten sensible. As for adding beads in front of it, it has to be a meritorious achievement. Like the second prince, although there are seven beads on the top of his head, each bead is obtained by him acting very well on orders. However, today's Nine Emperor Princes are not even ten years old, so they are treated like this.

The prince's hands were clenched into fists in his sleeves, but he remembered what his husband had admonished, and though he was dissatisfied, he did not say a word.

The rest of the princes also kept their mouths shut wisely, but the second prince stepped forward and said: "The ninth brother is still young, is it a bit hasty to be in such a hurry to crown him the Prince of Wuzhu?

Of course, he was dissatisfied in his heart, why did he have to be born and die to get the land he is now

position, and the Nine Emperors have always been in the palace, and they are still so favored?

If it were a normal day, dissatisfaction would be dissatisfaction, but the second prince would never stand up and say such a thing. But at this moment, his heart that was touched by the betrayal was already in turmoil. Not only did I not think twice about what I wanted to say, but I didn't even think about it. Open and close your mouth, and say it directly.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What the second brother said is good, what else do you want to say?"

In the temple of the god of nourishment, there was no sound.

The Emperor continued: "When do I need your guidance to do things? As the prince, you are not only my sons, but also the courtiers of Dayan. How can you have the courage to interfere in other matters because of your own dissatisfaction? This matter is so decided, and when you are tired, you should step aside. ”

The prince lowered his head, trying his best to suppress the smile that was about to tug at the corners of his mouth. At this moment, he thanked Mr. in his heart for his words, otherwise today, he would have made a mistake.

Walking out of the temple of the god of cultivation, the cold wind blew, and the back of the second prince, which was already wet with cold sweat, stood up with hairs. He regretted why he had come forward so boldly.

In the moonlight, before the second prince boarded his carriage, he turned his head and saw the prince smiling at him, like a flower of evil blooming in the night.

......

Walking into the hospital, Zhuge Chen saw Wang Daxue waiting there, and Li Mingzhen who was dying on the hospital bed.

The pain of being pierced through the chest by the patina-stained dagger was inevitable, but it did not lead to death. Because its final kill will be determined by the person being stabbed. If a false saint is pierced, I am afraid that the result will be death.

Zhuge Chen stepped forward, sat down next to Wang Daxue, and said, "What did the doctor say?"

Wang Daxue replied: "The doctor doesn't know, but he said that there should be nothing wrong." But you look at him like this, like it's okay?"

Li Mingzhen looked at the roof above with his eyes half-open, like a dying man, his eyes were empty. Although he didn't know Zhuge Chen's temperament, he also knew that his sacrifice to save him would definitely win a friendship for himself. But now he feels like he's dying, can a little friendship save his life?

In order to achieve their own goals, those families will always promise a lot of money for their subordinates, and in the eyes of many people, life has become a small profit. Li Mingzhen didn't dare to agree, but everyone has their own way of living. If you can really live a glamorous life, who wants to go to a low place and eat in the rivers and lakes?

Zhuge Chen was relieved to see that Li Mingzhen had woken up, he dragged a chair to the side of the hospital bed and sat down, and said, "Don't worry, Li Mingzhen, you will definitely not die." Your sister's revenge has to be avenged, and the vision in your heart has to be realized by yourself. I can't do these things, so you can't die so easily!"

Wang Daxue had never seen Zhuge Chen who talked so much, as if he said so many things, he was actually talking to himself.

"But those who didn't kill me hurt me...... Don't worry, I'm not going to let them live happily. Zhuge Chen continued: "Although I am no longer a god king, few people can bear the anger under my anger. ”

Bai Yi subconsciously clenched his fists and grabbed the dagger in his big sleeve. For some reason, his sword aura suddenly erupted, but it disappeared in a flash.

Zhuge Chen was stunned and felt the majesty of the house, and showed a smile. It seems that after this accident, his realm has faintly returned. It seems that in this capital, there will be another cultivator from the Heavenly Mandate Realm. What's even more terrifying is the lethality of this destiny, the peak of good luck can kill the bamboo basket with wonderful skills, after going to the next level, is it possible to kill Zhen Dao in the fight against each other?

Zhuge Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, after all, the Zhendao realm has been able to lead the general trend of heaven and earth, and it is tantamount to a new realm compared to the bamboo basket fetching water. If Zhuge Chen really wants to commit the following crimes, he has to salvage his second technique, and he can only do it.

Since what should have been said has been said, and Li Mingzhen is out of danger, he will not stay for long. Otherwise, when he returned to the Wang family's courtyard, he would have to be scolded by the head of the Wang family.

After he said he was leaving, Li Mingzhen just nodded and closed his eyes again.

Walking on the streets of the capital at night, the cold wind was howling, and Zhuge Chen exhaled a breath of white air, which was also dispersed in an instant. Walking forward, Zhuge Chen said softly: "This weather is really cold. ”

"Not really. Wang Daxue said softly, but after all, he was a cultivator, even if he stripped naked and ran around at the moment, he would not feel the slightest cold: "But Brother Chen, do you know who the woman who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack you at the Chunyuan banquet was served? It can't be the crown prince? It shouldn't be Chunyuan." ”

Zhuge Chen shook his head and said, "It won't be the two of them, and I already know who it is." ”

Wang Daxue looked at the undisguised killing intent on Zhuge Chen's face, in his impression, since the day the two met, the white clothes have always been light and light. Even if you have decided to kill the other person in anger, you will never have such an expression.

"The heart is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper. Zhuge Chen said softly.

Wang Daxue subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"An old man with whom he used to have a great relationship. Zhuge Chen let out a breath and said slowly: "It's just that now it seems that I still can't think about love, and it's better to kill her earlier." Many people will see your hand-keeping as a deserved-share. When she does it to you, she is merciless. Heavy snow, don't you deserve to die if you say such a person?"

He uttered these creepy words word by word, and Wang Daxue felt that there was nothing wrong with what he had done. Since the other party has shown no mercy, why should he hold on to the so-called affection?

Zhuge Chen continued: "Now I, I only hope that my realm will recover soon. Otherwise, assassinations like today will only continue to flow. This time I have Li Mingzhen in front of me, is it down

Once again, it's impossible, no one is going to live forever. What's more, my luck seems to have run out. ”

No one noticed that at this moment, in the night sky above the capital. There was a cyan dragon slowly condensing, it opened its dragon eyes, looked down, and the raised dragon claws seemed to be able to turn everything into ruins as long as it was pressed down.

Zhuge Chen raised his head and smiled lightly.

At this moment, a voice came from the corner of the alley: "It's too late, don't go back yet." I shouldn't have been merciful enough to let the butler open the door for you, and this is another day, and you haven't caused me any more trouble, right?"

Zhuge Chen, who was frightened and turned pale, realized that the person was the head of the Wang family, and he said angrily: "Of course not, but please the head of the family, can you be normal next time." In the big black sky, the dignity of the head of the family is really similar to a ghost. ”
