When the carriage that the Fourth Prince and the Tenth Prince drove was parked in the palace, many people had already arrived there in advance. Seeing the arrival of the carriage of the Fourth Prince, Wushuang's eyes seemed to be complicated, pleasing, suspicious, and so on. Doubts and so on.
Undoubtedly, after the death of the old emperor, the four princes were the most powerful and most likely to ascend to the throne in the entire Fengjue Kingdom. His arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people.
And seeing the ten princes riding in the same carriage with the four princes, many people wondered whether the ten princes had already taken refuge in the four princes first and showed their favor to the four princes.
In fact, when everyone thinks about it, it doesn't feel strange. Now that the four princes are ready, it is difficult for the other princes to shake his position. If there is no accident, he will be on the highest position.
The ten princes were originally a humble existence among the many princes. They simply had no strength and ability to fight for the throne. The generals must surrender to the new emperor. Now, the situation is very obvious. Therefore, the ten princes It is not strange to take the initiative to show good to the four princes.
Everyone would not think there was anything wrong with what the ten princes did, but instead felt that his actions were very wise.
Of course, the other princes didn’t look like that. They all looked at the fourth and ten princes with angry eyes. In their eyes, they had a chance to fight for the throne. Now, the old emperor is suddenly dead. , Their ideas completely fell through. In this case, only the most powerful person can stand out and ascend to the throne. Obviously, the strength of their princes cannot be compared with the four princes.
However, the other princes are not reconciled to this. They have worked hard for this matter for a long time. They just let them give up. They are really unacceptable. In the eyes of these princes, as long as the four princes have not yet ascended the throne. , Then, they all have a chance, and now, the ten princes actually surrender to the four princes first. For everyone, this is tantamount to betrayal and a symbol of weakness, although they have not placed the ten princes before. In the eyes, however, at this critical moment, there are prince-level people who take refuge in the four princes, and the morale of the four princes will still increase.
Therefore, the eyes of the other princes were very bad when they saw the ten princes.
The ten princes didn’t care about this. If possible, he certainly didn’t want to show his favor to the four princes. However, the situation is stronger than others. Now the four princes are more powerful. The only person on his side who can take action has been assassinated. What can he do?Continue to fight for the throne with the four princes?Isn't that looking for death?
Since he has determined that there is no way to win the throne, he naturally has to take refuge in the future emperor first. In this way, he can obtain the greatest and most benefits. As for what other people think, he doesn't care, and it has nothing to do with him. .
Moreover, the ten princes even thought that it would be best for others to fall out with the four princes. In that case, he would be the only one who took refuge in the four princes. After the four princes became the throne, he would be able to enjoy his own benefits.
The four princes also ignored the gazes of the other princes. In his opinion, those people would be losers. No matter how angry their gazes were, they would have no effect. They could only reflect their incompetence.
The four princes, accompanied by the ten princes, walked into the hall together. The corpse of the old emperor was still there. It was just a simple treatment. At least it didn’t seem to be embarrassed. However, the scar on the neck was clear and distinct.
The fourth prince's brows frowned slightly, no matter what he thought, at this time, it was natural not to be too happy. He asked the imperial general next to him: "Have you found the murderer?"
"No." The general said embarrassingly: "Many people didn't see what the murderer looked like before they were knocked out. However, a few court ladies and eunuchs said that they had met before they were knocked out. Someone has been asking where your Majesty is. That person may be the murderer. We have painted portraits based on the descriptions of the maids and eunuchs. Now we are searching the city and we believe that the murderer will be caught soon."
Someone sneaked into the palace and killed the old emperor. This was undoubtedly a huge insult to the imperial army general. It was his negligence in his work. He had to bear great responsibility. Therefore, it was very important for arresting the murderer. In this matter, he was very mindful. Only by catching the murderer as soon as possible could he make up for it.
Of course, even if the murderer caught it, the old emperor couldn't wake up.
"The whole city search is necessary, but it must be carried out in secret. It should not be overly obvious." The general thought that the four princes would approve of his approach. However, the four princes rebutted his idea: "Now, we are working with him. Yuanfeng’s army confronts, and if the city is full of storms because of the murderer’s affairs, that will make the people in the city panic and it’s not good for us to defend the city. Therefore, arrests can be made, but the movement should not be too great."
"However, if a large number of troops are sent to search, the movement is definitely not small. If there are fewer people, there will not be much movement, but in that case, it will be very difficult to catch the murderer." The general hesitated. Said.
Obviously, this is a dilemma. If you want to catch the murderer as soon as possible, you must send a lot of people. If this happens, the movement is definitely not small, and there are fewer people and it is difficult to catch. The murderer, not to mention the few people, can you find the murderer, even if you find it, there may not be one that can catch the other party. After all, the other party can sneak into the palace silently to kill the emperor, and naturally he is not weak. If there are too few, it is probably not the opponent's opponent.
"Then I don't care!" said the four princes: "The most important thing now is the decisive battle with Yuanfeng Country. This is related to the future of our Feng Jue Country. Nothing else can affect this matter, even the father. The emperor’s death is no good!"
In the hearts of the four princes, the old emperor died. He did not care very much. What he cared about was the battle with Yuanfeng. As long as he defeated Yuanfeng’s army outside the city, they would be able to unify the whole Outside the customs, he couldn't refuse such temptation, so in his heart, the battle with Yuanfeng was the most important.
"Now the entire city, the city gates have been closed, the murderer must have not left the city, even if he can't catch him for a while, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he must be in this city, as long as we defeat Yuanfeng Guo's The army, when the time comes, there will be time and energy to hunt him down!" The Fourth Prince continued.
