"I don't know this, my minister is not clear." The ten prince pretended to be thinking, thought for a long time, and finally said this sentence.
In fact, it can’t be said that he was pretending to be thinking. He was really thinking about who the assassins were and who was under their command. The first suspected target was naturally the four princes, but he Seeing that the four princes seemed to be thinking about it, it didn't seem like they were pretending to be, so they started thinking about the possibility of other people doing this.
However, this kind of thing seems to be less suspicious except for the four princes. After all, the old emperor is dead, except for the already powerful four princes, it is not so advantageous to others.
"Could it be that the people of Yuanfeng State did it?" Such an idea suddenly appeared in the mind of the ten princes.
Immediately, he denied his guess. Although the old emperor’s death was good for Yuanfeng’s army outside the city, they were at the head of the city, in the city, and even It was in the imperial palace that a large amount of troops were arranged. People from Yuanfeng Country outside the city could not enter at all, and it was impossible to have the opportunity to kill the old emperor.
Therefore, the ten princes did not think that this matter would be done by Yuanfengguo.
"Yes, this matter, the other party did so concealed, you don't know it, it is normal." The fourth prince said.
The four princes did not suspect that this matter had anything to do with the ten princes. In his eyes, the ten princes were powerless and powerless. Except for the name of a prince, there was nothing else, and there was no way anyone could be assassinated. The old emperor.
Moreover, the old emperor died, and there was no benefit to the ten princes Laishui who had been "outside the matter". He did not do so at all.
"It should be said that when the father is dead, the biggest profit will be his own. Other people don't think that this is done by themselves?" In the heart of the fourth prince, this idea suddenly occurred.
Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. After all, no matter how you look at it, he was the one who profited the most. The other princes obviously could not hope that the old emperor would die now, so they would not harm him. emperor.
However, I am different. I am already powerful. In the entire country, there is an old emperor who can contend against him. Therefore, as soon as the old emperor dies, he will take advantage of the trend, which is best for him. And I was in my heart before. I have thought more than once, if the old emperor died, how good it would be. In that case, in the whole country, no one can check and balance himself, and he will be the real boss.
And now, the old emperor is really dead. To tell the truth, the four princes felt more joy than sadness after knowing this, because finally no one could suppress him.
It’s just that, calm down and think about it. The death of the old emperor might put him in trouble, because he is the only one who can make a profit, and he had quarreled with the old emperor several times before entering the palace. I believe that this matter cannot be kept from the ears of many people. I believe many people know it. If this happens, the old emperor is suddenly killed, and it is easy for people to doubt himself.
"Ten brother, you won't doubt that I did this thing, right?" The fourth prince looked at the tenth prince and asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Hearing this, the ten princes were taken aback. After all, this was a suspicion in his heart, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince asked directly, which caught him by surprise, but he immediately reacted. , Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How is it possible? How could I suspect Brother Si? This thing was done by anyone, and it is impossible for you to do it. You are trusted by your father and you hand over most of the country's military strength. Given it to you, how could you possibly harm your father?"
Even if it was suspected in my heart that this matter was related to the four princes, the ten princes obviously did not dare to admit it, especially when they saw that the four princes' faces were a little bad.
"Yeah." The fourth prince nodded after hearing what the tenth prince said. Obviously, he was satisfied with what he said: "You are right. I did not do this thing. I didn't have that need."
"However, fourth brother." The tenth prince hesitated and said to the fourth prince: "Although the courtier believes you and believes that this matter has nothing to do with you, other people may not believe you."
The four princes frowned. He also thought of this possibility. It can be said that this possibility is very great, especially those princes who had a chance to fight for the throne. After the death of the old emperor, they were completely lost. If you get the opportunity, you will definitely not be reconciled, and you will naturally doubt yourself.
"Huh! I didn't do this originally. If others want to doubt, I can't help it!" The fourth prince snorted coldly, "However, even if they doubt me, they can't change anything. They do everything. Nope!"
The four princes are now very confident in themselves. There was an old emperor who suppressed him before. Now, the old emperor is dead. Others are not his opponents at all. He is the most powerful existence in this country, and other people, even if They doubted themselves and were dissatisfied with them, but it was useless. Their strength was simply not enough to shake themselves.
"Yes, yes, what the fourth brother said." The tenth prince replied repeatedly.
The reality is indeed the case. Otherwise, the ten princes would not be aggrieved and beg the four princes, because he also understood the current situation, even if he hated the four princes in his heart, the other party destroyed his own struggle. The throne is possible, but now it is true that the four princes are powerful, and other people can't compete with him at all. The ten princes can only bow their heads to the four princes in order to survive and live better.
The four princes were obviously satisfied with the attitude of the ten princes. As the first prince to take refuge in him, the four princes had a good impression of the ten princes, and they were also ready to reuse each other after he became the throne.
As for the other princes?
Hmph, if they don’t know what to do and fight against themselves, then I’m sorry. When they are on the throne, they will be cleaned up one by one. If they are interested in taking the initiative to bow their heads, they will also take back all their rights. , In the future let them be a free and powerless prince.
After the carriage fell into silence, only the sound of the wheels kept coming. Outside the carriage, other people kept passing by, and other people kept saying hello to the carriage of the Fourth Prince, even if they could not see the face of the Fourth Prince. I dare not show the slightest disrespect.
This is the situation and they have to do it.
