From Chapter Seven of Xuanjun

Chapter 212 Chief Pivot Chief Assistant
"It was calculated."

The second prince who had just come out of the city that never sleeps also saw the two imperial decrees that were triggered one after another.

He slowly took off the mask on his face, exerted force with five fingers, and squeezed the mask into a ball fiercely and tightly.

Like Ye Sishou, the second prince connected himself with the imperial decree at the first moment. Although he knew that he was not the one who forged the imperial decree, at this moment, the second prince was undoubtedly the most suspicious.

Who told him that he had clearly jumped back.

"Your Highness, the arrow is on the string, so we have to fire it." Eunuch Ming reminded him beside him.

In the city that never sleeps, Eunuch Ming and the second prince saw Shen Yi and the others leave, so they resolutely escaped in order to deal with the changing situation in time, but he was still one step too late.

"Where is the eldest brother?" The second prince asked after thinking for a while.

Today, Emperor Xuan has four sons, and the number of heirs is quite inferior to his Sangong and Liuyuan.It is said that this is because Emperor Xuan's body was injured when he seized the throne, and he has been suffering from secret injuries for many years, which led to the scarcity of heirs.

Since the position of the crown prince has not been determined, none of the four princes can be crowned king, and they have remained in Beijing.

But among the four, the fourth prince had already been in Youzhou, and the third prince had been missing many years ago, and now only the eldest prince and the second prince are still competing.

The eldest prince is older, and the second prince is 17 years old. He was a student of the chief assistant, and he has a very close friendship with King An, and the power under his command is far greater than that of the second prince.

If it were not for Emperor Xuan to maintain the balance, the Second Prince really would not be able to compete with the First Prince.Now that the second prince has been forced to take the road of forcing the palace, he still does not forget the movements of the eldest prince.

After hearing the words, Eunuch Ming replied: "The Anzi who stayed in the first prince's mansion reported back that the first prince went to the first assistant's mansion overnight, and he should still be persuading the first assistant now."

"When things are coming to an end, I still want to find help. My brother has been suppressed by my father for many years, and I want to be safe." The second prince sneered, clenched his fists tightly, and said, "I'll do it now. Let Bei Fang Dongyi, the commander of the gate guard army, is preparing to open the north gate once the father and emperor are in heaven, and take this prince directly to the North Pole Hall."

"Yes." Eunuch Ming saluted solemnly.

·······················
On the other side, the main house of Shangyang Mansion, the first assistant in the inner city.

In the brightly lit room, there was a person wearing a black robe of five dragons, who bowed to salute, and stayed up for a long time.

And the object of his salutation, who should be the first assistant, is sitting cross-legged on the couch, quietly staring at the chessboard in front of him.

Time passed bit by bit, and finally, the eldest son of the emperor couldn't help but said: "Teacher, please help the students."

His words seemed to have finally awakened the dazed old man, but he saw Shang Yang reaching out and gently stroking the chess pieces on the chessboard, and answered irrelevantly: "Do you know who sent this chess game?"

"chess······"

The eldest prince Zhao Yuan couldn't help looking at the chessboard and the old man, and after noticing a trace of nostalgia on the old man's face, a figure flashed in his heart.

"Chen... Tianyuan?"

He knew that Chen Tianyuan was also a disciple of the old man, and he was known as the Shuangjun with King An in the past, and had a great reputation. In the imperial examination 30 years ago, everyone thought that Chen Tianyuan would be the leader, but in the end, he was placed in the second place by an unknown person who was born out of nowhere. Not long after that, Chen Tianyuan suddenly left the border. After that, the rumors about him gradually disappeared in the mouths of the people in the capital.

By the time the rumors of Chen Tianyuan became popular in the capital again, it was the news that he planned to rebel.But now, the eldest prince even heard about Chen Tianyuan from his teacher, and even saw the chessboard sent by Chen Tianyuan.

"Teacher, you plan to support Chen Tianyuan..."

The eldest prince's thoughts changed sharply, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"This Great Xuan Dynasty cannot be destroyed, but who the next Majesty is will be something to be particular about," the chief assistant interrupted the eldest prince, and said, "If you trust me, don't move for now. Time to come out."

"Do not move?"

The eldest prince pondered in his heart, and suddenly realized that this was an excellent situation.

If Chen Tianyuan wins, he can make Chen Tianyuan retreat with his family relationship, and use it to gain momentum and rise to the position.

If Emperor Xuan wins, it is the best choice not to move, so as to prove his filial piety and loyalty to his father.

Thinking of this, the eldest prince nodded and said: "Students listen to the teacher."

Do not move.

·······················
With the imperial city as the center, opposite to the chief assistant's mansion, but at the same distance from the imperial city, is the mansion of Wan Chunqiu, the head of the military officer and the head of the current dynasty.

At the same time that the eldest prince asked the chief assistant to help, there was a series of heart-piercing coughing sounds from the backyard of the chief minister's mansion.

"Let's all go away."

The light illuminated the curtain, and a hunched figure was reflected, but the figure said in a weak voice: "Close the door tightly, don't ask other people, wait until tomorrow morning, everything will be settled."

Outside the curtain, there were more than a dozen generals in battle armor half-kneeling on the ground. The leader, a burly man with beards, couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where are you talking about, my lord?" The sincerity of the prince? Or the deal with Chen Tianyuan?"

The dissatisfaction revealed in the words caused the temperature in the room to drop suddenly, the lights to falter, and the shadows printed on the curtains to falter.

"It's not sincerity, and it's not a transaction."

The figure behind the curtain, Wan Chunqiu, the prince of the court, said calmly: "This is His Majesty's will."

A word said, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, all the generals couldn't help but move, and a series of sounds were made by the friction of armor.

"It's really His Majesty?" the burly general asked hesitantly.

It's really no wonder that he doubts that the situation will develop like this, which has a great relationship with Xuandi's non-appearance.There are already rumors among the people that Xuandi has already passed away, and now some people are pretending to be Xuandi and issuing orders in the identity of Xuandi.

It can be said that even if Emperor Xuan came to court once a year, the situation would not collapse to such a state.Up to now, even the burly generals doubted in their hearts whether the Ninth Five-Year Supreme really had passed away.

However, at this moment, he actually heard the will from Emperor Xuan again.

Could this decree be false?

"I followed His Majesty back then to punish the kings. How could I have caused chaos like those rogue ministers and thieves? How could I have lied to you! Cough cough cough..."

Wan Chunqiu who was behind the curtain said sharply, "It is His Majesty's will to keep the soldiers still. If you don't believe me, go to the palace."

After all, the violent wind rolled up the curtain and rushed out, more than a dozen generals couldn't resist, they were wrapped by the strong wind and sent out of the room.

　Well, although I often have difficulty keeping promises, I don't want to lie about what happened.I really didn't chat yesterday, why no one believed it. (╥╯^╰╥)
