My old husband who can read minds

This secret conversation in the imperial study room eventually broke up between the emperor and his ministers on bad terms.

But this secret was destined to not be concealed. Since Emperor Qianyuan had made it clear, it meant that he would no longer hide it. For the first time, the third prince, King Wei, entered the eyes of the civil and military officials of the dynasty with his outstanding appearance.

Similarly, King Wei also became a thorn in the eyes of many people this time.

In the past, Emperor Qianyuan had always deliberately obscured King Wei's limelight, making him "lost to everyone", and pushed King Qi to the stage to fight with King Shen, attracting everyone's attention, thus making everyone more or less ignore this. A prince.

Now, with the news that "the Holy Emperor wants to appoint King Wei as the heir," the harem and the former dynasty have been completely blown away, and everyone can't sit still.

The news came from the cabinet, and no one would doubt its authenticity. It was generally believed that this was the emperor's instruction, and that His Majesty deliberately released the news in advance so that all civil and military officials could be mentally prepared.

It has to be said that the courtiers are very good at guessing the holy will.

Emperor Qianyuan did do this intentionally.

With the strange poison in his body, he didn't know how much time he had left, whether he could hold on until the moment when he became the crown prince of the East Palace and saw the succession of King Wei, so he had to make plans in advance.

He also took the opportunity to test the other princes and princes to see which son could not help but jump out and cause rebellion.

Emperor Qianyuan's purpose of alerting the enemy this time was to remove possible hidden dangers first, so as to pave the way for King Wei to ascend to the throne.

Can be described as well-intentioned.

It is a pity that no one can understand his "bloody heart" except Qin Yan, his close and powerful minister.

In the palace of Prince Qi, after the eldest prince, Prince Qi, learned that "the news was true" from the secret letter sent by Prime Minister Zuo, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

In vain, he thought he had the favor of his father. After defeating King Shen, he would be able to get the position of the East Palace easily.

Unexpectedly, he was actually a pawn promoted by the emperor. He fought life and death with King Shen's faction at the front. In the end, he spent a lot of effort and money, and finally completely brought down King Shen and the Song family of Anguo Gongfu behind him. How could he have expected this? Everything was actually the result of the father's wily calculations, just to pave the way for King Wei in advance.

There is also the case of "Tong Guan's Rebellion". At first, he thought that his father wanted to protect him, but now it seems that what he really wanted to protect was King Wei, the mastermind behind the scenes.

King Qi's heart bleeds with hatred when he thinks of the "bitter flesh trick" he used to get rid of suspicion, which caused him to endure the pain of the wound every time it was cold in the future.

It turns out that everything is my own passion and cleverness...

When King Qi learned the truth, you can imagine how angry he was in his heart, and he also felt a deep sense of humiliation at being ignored, deceived, and played with.

This sense of humiliation made King Qi resentful of his father, Emperor Qianyuan, and he hated him even more than King Wei.

In the end, this hatred and unwillingness soon turned into a human tragedy.

In Fengyi Palace, the Queen and Prince Shen were sitting opposite each other. Both mother and son had cold expressions on their faces, and their expressions were particularly solemn.

"Your Majesty is really very good at calculating. This plan has deceived countless people in the world. Hahaha... Your Majesty has really worked hard for so many years for the virtuous concubine and the Queen of Wei and her son." Empress Song sneered and said, no Her youthful and beautiful face was full of ridicule and anger.

King Shen was also resentful and said with gritted teeth: "Father, it's really hard for this palace to trick me! This palace has always thought that the biggest rival for the throne is King Qi. Who would have expected that he is actually pushed to the stage by my father to compete with him? This palace is a bait for the enemy. When the King of Qi and this palace fight to the death, King Wei sits back and enjoys the results, becoming the final fisherman. This palace used to admire his father wholeheartedly, and everything he did was to gain his approval. And praise, now that I think about it, it is really ridiculous and stupid..."

King Shen cried and laughed, his expression distorted, and he looked a little crazy.

"Why are you crying! Since ancient times, there has been no father or son in the Tian family. Now that I have seen your father's true face, I will give up those ridiculous thoughts from now on. No one can hold the position of prince except you, the legitimate son of the middle palace. Don’t even think about fighting with my son.”

Queen Song said fiercely, her cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

"But mother and father seem to have made up their minds to make King Wei his heir, how can we turn defeat into victory?"

King Shen looked sad, unwilling but hesitant.

Looking at her son's hesitant face, Queen Song sighed deeply.

Known child Moruomu.

King Shen's temperament was too indecisive, and he lacked the decisiveness and ruthlessness of an emperor. Those teachers at the beginning taught him only the "way of a benevolent king" but not the art of an emperor.

Perhaps all this was premeditated and deliberately calculated by the emperor, but now he discovered that it was too late, and no amount of resentment could make up for his son's lack of temperament and talent.

When she thought of this, Empress Song's hatred for Emperor Qianyuan became even deeper, like the water of a river.

"Why are you panicking! Your Majesty wants to make his beloved son his heir, but the matter is by no means that simple. Not to mention that the cabinet ministers do not agree with your Majesty's willful move, even the civil and military officials will not agree. .”

Empress Song was not in a hurry and said calmly: "If this matter was easy to do, your father would have already made a decree to call King Wei as the crown prince, so why bother dragging it until now?"

Hearing this, King Shen's expression became more relaxed, and he asked cautiously: "I heard that my father has been ill recently. Is it because my father is seriously ill that I had no choice but to rectify King Wei's name in advance? Queen Mother, are you Can you tell me truthfully how my father's condition is?"

Empress Song was startled for a moment, then replied with a smile as if nothing had happened: "It is a taboo in the harem to pry into the king's dragon body privately. In fact, the queen mother doesn't know exactly what is going on with your majesty's dragon body. It's just that there are vague rumors coming from the Taiyuan Hospital. , your father may have been poisoned, and his time is running out. Maybe my son, your guess is right, this may be the reason why His Majesty is eager to establish a heir apparent."

Queen Song said half-truthfully, deciding to keep the biggest secret in her heart a secret.

"Poisoning and murdering the dragon's body" is a serious crime among the Nine Sins of Zhu Lian. Once the incident occurs, she, the middle palace who is the mother of the world, will not be able to escape death. Therefore, she and the Song family secretly carried out the affair without telling King Shen from the beginning. .

This was the escape route left by Queen Song for her son, King Shen.

As long as King Shen did not know about it and did not participate in it, if the incident happened in the future and the emperor asked about the crime, King Shen, a person who "doesn't know, is not guilty", could still be exempted, at least it would not be difficult to save his life.

The most important point is that Queen Song cannot let her son be stigmatized as patricide, otherwise this will definitely become the biggest obstacle to King Shen's accession to the throne in the future.

If he is accused of "killing his father and killing the king, and gaining the throne improperly", King Shen will never be able to sit or secure that position. (End of chapter)
