"The three Highnesses have gone?" Lin Qing stared at King Tan with wide eyes in disbelief.
King Tan looked at Lin Qing and nodded slightly, and said to the governor next to him, "Please tell me again, governor."
?The governor took a look at Lin Qing, knowing that this time must be for the person in front of him, but the prince and Taifu have always been the prince's confidant, so it is not surprising, so he said:
"Last month, the Holy Dragon was in poor health, so he was recuperating in the harem. He never went to court, and let the king supervise the country. The other two princes assisted the government. They were in peace, but who would have thought that four days ago, His Highness Prince Gong suddenly Lead the troops to force the palace, and intercept and kill the two highnesses Cheng Wang and Dai Wang." The governor said.
Lin Qing was taken aback for a moment, then realized immediately, and quickly asked, "What about His Royal Highness Prince Gong?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Gong was accidentally injured by Liu Shi when he was entering the palace, and died." The governor continued.
Lin Qing couldn't believe his ears, that is to say, King Gong slaughtered King Cheng and Queen Dai, and was shot to death by a flying arrow from nowhere on the way to the palace.
The governor looked at Lin Qing who was stunned. In fact, not only Lin Qing was shocked, but when he received the news today, he knocked over the teacup in shock. But after being shocked, he thought of King Tan under his jurisdiction. Since the first three princes had all gone, as the only remaining son of the Holy Majesty, King Tan had the greatest hope, so he immediately came to the door in person to tell King Tan the news, just to sell it in advance.
After the governor finished speaking, he saw that it was already late at night. Since he had brought the news, it would not be appropriate to stay any longer, so he said respectfully to King Tan: "The Holy Majesty is very sad now, and I think he will call His Highness back to Beijing soon. Your Highness has made plans early."
After the governor finished speaking, he got up and left with the prefect of Yizhou Prefecture. Lin Qing got up quickly and sent the two out in person.
When Lin Qing sent the two back, he saw King Tan sitting in his original seat holding a teacup in a daze.
Lin Qing sat down beside her, and whispered, "Your Highness!"
The cup in Tan Wang's hand shook, and then he came back to his senses and asked, "Are those two gone?"
Lin Qing nodded and said, "They're all gone."
King Tan put down his cup, looked at Lin Qing, and said, "What do you think, sir?"
Lin Qing thought for a while, and said: "Since the Lord Governor said it himself, it must be true. After all, if it is not true, the Lord Governor would not dare to say this indiscriminately."
King Tan said: "This kind of taboo thing, if it doesn't happen, no one dares to say it."
"As for His Royal Highness Prince Gong's sudden forced palace, although it was sudden, it is not difficult to understand. The three His Royal Highnesses have been fighting for a long time. Although the Holy Majesty favored His Royal Highness Dai Wang, he did not make Dai Wang the crown prince. In fact, no one took advantage of it, but now that the Holy One is ill, he actually asked the acting king to supervise the country, and the other two His Royal Highnesses are the assistants. The supervision of the country is the job of the crown prince." Lin Qing whispered to King Tan.
King Tan nodded and said, "That's right. Normally, my two elder brothers could still live steadily, but now that the father is ill, at this juncture, the third elder brother supervises the country, and he will definitely poke my elder brother and second elder brother." lungs."
Lin Qing thought of the power of the princes. The eldest prince, Cheng Wang, was born to the former empress, but the former empress was married to the saint before the first emperor raised his army. It can be regarded as an ordinary family, so the eldest prince does not have any external influence, but the eldest son is both the eldest son and the first son, which is an inherent advantage. There are many old stubborn people who insist on orthodoxy in the court, and they have always stood firmly behind the eldest prince .
The second prince, Prince Gong, is the only son of the current empress. Although he is not the eldest son, he is still the eldest son. In addition, the father of the empress empress fought with the late emperor for many years. Minus, and most of the nobles who followed the late emperor were life and death friends with the empress's father, so the second prince is equivalent to standing behind the whole nobles.
As for the three princes acting as the king, the acting king's mother concubine, Concubine Wen Gui, is the daughter of Elder Wenge. As the head of civil servants, Elder Wenge is naturally powerful.
Lin Qing thought of this, and said to King Tan: "Actually, it is not incomprehensible for the Holy Majesty to let the Dai Wang supervise the country when he left the court. After all, the Dai Wang is the most talented of the three princes, and the Dai Wang's grandfather is the old man of Wen Ge. Let the acting king supervise the country, and Elder Wen Ge will definitely assist with all his strength, so that it is the least likely to go wrong."
"That's the reason, but once the third brother is in charge of the country, the status of courtiers will inevitably be raised. How can those nobles who fought the world with the first emperor be reconciled? The second brother can force the palace so easily this time. If there were no such honors behind him No one will believe you if you help me," said Tan Wang.
Lin Qing nodded, the dispute between the three princes was actually nothing more than a civil and military dispute, a dispute between the old and the new.
"Presumably the Holy Majesty did not expect that His Highness Prince Gong would have the courage to put all his eggs in one basket." Lin Qing said with emotion.
"No, although the second brother has a bad temper, he is actually not decisive. It is unbelievable that he can force the palace this time." In fact, King Tan still can't believe his second brother's usual A person who is ruthless and soft-hearted will actually do such a shocking event.
"Probably in a hurry!" Lin Qing was not very clear, so he could only say casually: "However, His Royal Highness is really out of luck."
King Tan absolutely agrees with this sentence. Although what his second brother did seems absurd, if the elder brother and the third brother die, no matter how angry the father is, for the sake of the stability of the court, he must be appointed as the crown prince. But who knew, when he entered the palace, he was accidentally shot to death by an arrow from nowhere. King Tan could only sigh with emotion: "He probably didn't have this life!"
After Tan Wang finished speaking, he thought of himself again, and hurriedly said to Lin Qing: "Sir, are you talking about me?"
Lin Qing knew what King Tan was thinking, touched his chin, and said: "The Holy One has a total of six princes. The first prince, the second prince, and the third prince have gone now. The fourth prince died of cold in his early years, and the fifth prince was adopted by the late emperor." Yao's younger brother, King Gui, is now at the knee of the Holy One, leaving only His Highness."
King Tan was excited for a while, but he calmed down and reminded Lin Qing, "King Gui?"
Lin Qing shook his head and said: "Although King Gui is the son of the Holy One, he was adopted out since he was a child, and he has already been on the jade plate of the King Gui. No matter who mentions it, he can only be the son of King Gui and the Holy One. Dear nephew."
After hearing this, King Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Lin Qing, "Then what should we do now?"
"Don't do anything, wait!" Lin Qing said directly.
"Huh?" King Tan looked at Lin Qing in surprise. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
