After he was hit by a pie falling from the sky and almost went crazy laughing, he immediately followed the advice of the palace commander and began to spend a huge amount of silver to hire capable veteran warriors to serve as his bodyguards and protect him when he went to the capital to meet Emperor Kangwei. .
After all, he is not stupid.
It is very clear that the pie falling from the sky is not so easy to eat. He has to return to the capital alive to be able to successfully eat the pie. If he dies on the way, everything will be in vain.
However, he had limited money and a limited number of servants and guards he could have. In addition, Emperor Kangwei had not been in trouble when he set off, so not many people dared to help the newly imprisoned and deposed princes. matter.
So the first two days of walking were very safe.
It also made them relax their vigilance a little.
However, Emperor Kangwei later died.
Naturally, some of the original ghosts and monsters began to show up, and those who were imprisoned and were not completely desperate, especially the two princes whose bodies were not damaged, naturally couldn't help but have some ideas and wanted to fight again. Anyway, They also don't want to live a life of being imprisoned until death. Instead of being imprisoned in a house and waiting to die of old age, they might as well find ways to fight again.
The worst possible outcome if you lose is death.
If you win, you will get the throne.
So, the fifth prince will be miserable.
When he was less than a hundred miles away from the capital, he was attacked by bandits disguised as bandits several times. In just two attacks, the warriors he hired were already dead and fled.
At this time, the fifth prince didn't even know what was going on in the capital, let alone that his father was dying. He could only quickly disguise himself with his few guards. I want to disguise myself as a commoner first and then wait until I enter the capital.
However, he didn¡¯t know that among his personal guards there were people assigned by the prince in the past.
The prince wanted to kill him a few years ago.
But who knew that he was kicked out of the capital by Emperor Kangwei because of drunkenness. At that time, the prince thought that he was no longer a threat, so he did not continue to take action. But now, the fifth prince who is returning to the capital is obviously a great threat, so the deposed prince knows When the palace had already decided to appoint the fifth prince as the new emperor, Fei Ge immediately sent a message to the subordinate, asking him to kill the fifth prince.
Previously, there were more guards around the five princes, and that person did not grasp a blow and killed.
So I never took action.
"We waited until everyone around the fifth prince was dead and running away, and only a few of them were left, then we officially started to take action.
Although the fifth prince is not stupid, but because his mother died early and his uncle's family is not very powerful, he is not as good as the other princes in all aspects, whether it is the power in his hands or his own prudence. The level was not as good as that of those princes, and he never felt that there would be any problem with his personal bodyguards.
So there is no defense at all.
He was killed in the inn in the middle of the night.
Wipe the neck with one knife.
By the time other personal guards heard the sound and broke into the house, the fifth prince's trachea had been cut, and there was no chance of him surviving.
¡¡
Three days later
The ministers did not welcome the fifth prince into the palace. Only the body of the fifth prince was welcomed into the palace. Although Qiao Mu was not very panicked, she still frowned, feeling that many things were out of her control and were heading in an unpredictable direction.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As the ministers continued to discuss which of the remaining princes should be worthy of the important responsibilities, but it was not possible, and whether they should choose one of the emperor¡¯s grandsons to inherit the throne.
Qiao Mu has left Zichen Palace.
He left the Zichen Palace with his personal maid, and returned to the Qian'an Palace where he currently lives, and dismissed the other servants around him.
He asked An Nan very eagerly:
"What's going on? Could it be that my father didn't agree, or was there something unexpected?"
"Mother, the master has indeed agreed, and at the same time has sent many people to greet the fifth prince.
But by the time those people left, it was already too late.
Although the fifth prince was not dead at that time, he had already disguised himself. The men sent by the master spent a lot of time looking for the fifth prince. When they were found, the fifth prince had been assassinated.
We are a step too late after all. "
An Nan is still very coldReplied quietly.
But at this time, Qiao Mu felt that things were not that simple. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then recalled the recent events and the memories in his mind, and suddenly took a breath: "Does my father have any ideas?" ?¡±
"Mother, what do you mean?"
An Nan was stunned for a moment, but then asked again.
"Although my speed of transmitting information is not particularly fast, it is definitely not slow. If my father really wants to save the fifth prince, he will definitely be able to save him. Don't tell me that he is incapable?
So, does he have other ideas?
For example, usurping the throne?
Yes, this is indeed a good idea.
Emperor Kangwei was first rebelled by four or five princes, which showed that he was definitely not a good father. Later, he was attacked by the rare and exotic beasts in the Garden of Exotic Treasures. This can be attributed to him being rejected by heaven and earth, or being rejected by hundreds of people. Disliked by beasts.
"That's okay"
Although Qiao Mu never had the idea of ??plotting to usurp the throne at first, now, Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel that it was indeed a pretty good idea. If he could succeed in plotting to usurp the throne, then many of his original wishes would be pretty good. The solution can only be solved in a few sentences.
"Mother, don't you object?"
An Nan asked in surprise.
"Why should I object? It doesn't matter if this imperial concubine is not a good one. If my father can really succeed in usurping the throne, then I will be a eldest princess no matter what. Please tell me when my father started planning. of.
What are you going to do next?
Is there anything you need my help with?
"Now the inner courtyard of the palace is basically under my control. Even if he leads the troops in immediately, I can open the door for him. If the inside and outside are coordinated"
Qiao Mu is really not used to being subject to a lot of restrictions in everything she does now. If her father really wants to usurp the throne, she will definitely welcome it with both hands. Although it is good to be a queen mother who can listen to politics behind the curtain, but how can she be a queen mother? With the comfort of being an eldest princess, who is not a little princess anymore?
??And the original person is not very old.
If you can succeed in trying to usurp the throne.
Maybe you can even find a little fresh meat to show your face.
How about you meet with me in the secret passage tonight and discuss it in person? "
An Nan certainly didn¡¯t have the right to speak directly about such a major matter, so he could only say that he would send the news to Duke Jing, and then ask Duke Jing to come over at night to discuss with Qiao Mu the specific matter of plotting to usurp the throne.
