"Perhaps you don't know, brother, but in fact, father wants to pass on the throne to you."

Hearing this, King Jin was taken aback, and quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible."

"How old was I at that time? There are so many emperor brothers above, not to mention King Zhao and King Shu, there are also King Qi and King Han, they are all very capable."

"And there was also me, King Ning at that time, and the current emperor, who is also capable of governing Dongzhou well."

He really didn't quite believe that the first emperor's No. 1 choice would be him, but he was not obvious at all, he was the youngest among many princes, and he had the lowest sense of presence.

"Prince Ning? Huh."

The eldest princess suddenly sneered, and she was no longer as gentle as when she mentioned King Ning in the past.

"Among the lords, he is the least likely to take that seat."

"How do you think I know his life experience?"

As soon as these words came out, King Jin widened his eyes, thought of a possibility in his mind, and asked in surprise; "Could it be the father?"

She still has reservations about the statement that Emperor Hongwen wants to abdicate. This secret edict is indeed an insurance policy.

It was also because of this that the first emperor handed over the shadow guards who were the most hidden under his own hands and the strongest, as well as the [-] elite army, to King Jin.

"Yes."

You know, in his impression, his father was a very decisive person, and he couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Later, in order to cover up this matter, the eldest princess sent the most trusted Chunhua out of the palace.

King Jin was silent.

"That's true. Father knew the Zhenbei Hou very well at that time, and he also knew that he was not a peaceful master, plus King Ning's background."

"Then why did the last seat fall on King Ning's head?"

King Jin was a little puzzled, since his father knew about it, why didn't he deal with it?

In addition, he was always a wise and mighty king, if this happened, wouldn't he be a fool?
"Of course not only for this point, but also because King Ning is honest enough and self-aware. He hid when he knew he couldn't fight."

"Father doesn't care about other people, but you are different. You are the one he chose, so naturally you have to consider your safety more."

The siblings chatted for a long time.

"Father is also worried."

"You, you just thought of your father's decisiveness and forgiving the sand, but you ignored that he is a man, a king."

"Yes, my father told me that he knew a long time ago that King Ning is not his son."

"Of course, it's also possible that the royal father made a special trip to stay here, just to give you a trump card."

"So I chose King Ning, firstly to let him attract firepower and let him confront the brothers?"

"If King Ning's identity is exposed, how will he be affected? How will the people of the world speak of him?"

The eldest princess nodded and continued; "He can be used at the worst. After all, behind him is the original Zhenbei Hou and the current Zhen Guogong."

Since the father knew the identity of King Ning, why did he give him the seat?

Then keep the back hand and the secret edict, wait for the opportunity, deal with Duke Zhen, overthrow Emperor Hongwen, and let the person he really chooses be promoted to the throne.

"No, it's better to leave it in the hands of Huang Jie."

This is also what the eldest princess said. Although she did not do it, she has a lot to do with the late emperor's affairs. After all, she was the one who sent the poison.

Indeed, there are so many people in the royal family, it doesn't matter if you have one more, and it doesn't matter if you are honest and self-aware.

After explaining all this, the first emperor left an imperial edict for the succession of King Ning, and then directly drank the poison sent by the eldest princess, and died suddenly like this.

Also as a monarch, his greater responsibility is to protect the inheritance left by his ancestors.

"What should I say, pointing all the incidents of the emperor's sudden death at the Duke of Zhen, is also used to contain the Duke of Zhen when the matter becomes uncontrollable in the end?"

If Emperor Hongwen only used King Jin to deal with Lord Zhen Guo, and then messed up later, this secret edict would become a sharp knife.

"Father prepared a few more backups, and left me a secret edict."

The purpose is to let him have the ability to protect himself, and at the same time, if the time comes, it will increase the chance of regaining the throne.

"Such a person who is not threatening and does not cause trouble, why bother to expose it and embarrass himself?"

"The secret edict left by my father is still in my hands, do I need to give it to you?"

It was almost all the layout of the first emperor, first of all, let King Ning take the position to attract firepower, and Lord Zhen Guo assisted in cleaning up those threats.

King Jin nodded. Lord Zhen Guo was indeed able to seize the opportunity, and he was also very decisive and ruthless. When King Ning came to power, he did not hesitate to use thunderous means to deal with King Zhao first, followed by King Qi and King Han. The last one is the King of Shu who is a mercenary who respects himself.

"Duke Zhen is becoming more and more powerful. After King Ning came to power, he also showed his obsession with this position. Naturally, I dare not reveal the slightest bit. I can only save you as much as possible, and then wait for the opportunity."

Shocked, sad, and more than I could have imagined.

"But why, Father?"

"I also said just now that the person chosen by the emperor was you, but you were still young at that time. Facing the eyes of the kings, I was worried that you would be in danger."

"Well, it's also good, it's more insurance to keep it in my hands."

That's right, the father is a man, but he raised a son for someone else. Isn't this a great irony?

"It's just that he was discovered by Duke Zhen unexpectedly, and Dongzhou fell into a period of being controlled for a long time."

"And it turns out that's true."

"This is a very capable person. Since he has the opportunity, he will do everything he can to seize it."

King Zhao and King Shu are about to kill their fathers, so the first emperor will naturally not think about any blood relationship, the emperor's family is so cruel.

"King Zhao and King Shu are definitely not good. King Qi and King Han are not good birds either. As long as they are in power, they will definitely wield butcher knives against other brothers."

"Why not deal with it?"

Now that he knew that King Ning was not his son, how could he hold back his temper and not deal with it?

"Unfortunately, although Father made a lot of arrangements, he neglected one point, that is, he failed to erase all traces of King Ning's life experience."

King Jin finally understood what happened back then.

It's just that she didn't expect that Chunhua would still betray her trust by hiding the emperor's personal jade pendant, which led to Zheng Youcai's incidents.

"I've already told you everything, you should pay more attention to that Zheng Youcai."

"There are some things that cannot be exposed yet, I suggest to silence them directly."

Hearing this, King Jin pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's forget it, he doesn't know what's going on, and Yaoyao also agreed to the person in charge of the Luo family to save Zheng Youcai's life."

"Well, since you have made a decision, then do as you say."

"However, Miss Huang still has to remind you to be careful of Emperor Hongwen."
