Chapter 2713: Take the initiative

Two bad things disappeared one after another, completely defeating the ten princes. These two news made him almost lose all the possibilities of fighting for the throne. Therefore, his mood has always been very bad, and he seemed to be on the way to the palace. Some were absent-minded, and the people around greeted him, but he didn't hear it many times.

And now, when the four princes invite to go to the palace together, the ten princes are naturally very unwilling to stay with the four princes. In that case, it is as if the other party is showing off to himself and won the competition, and he is a loser. , To face the identity of the winner of the four princes.

Moreover, others don’t know, but the ten princes themselves knew that he lost the opportunity to fight for the throne because the four princes sent people to besieged and killed the generals surnamed Yan. It can be said that the other party destroyed the possibility of his fight for the throne. In this situation, how could the ten princes be willing to be alone with each other?

It’s just that the situation is better than people. Now not only the ministers, but the ten princes also realize that among all the princes, the four princes are the strongest. If nothing else, the four princes can defeat the others with absolute strength. The prince, then, ascended to the throne of the emperor.

Therefore, it is obviously not a very wise thing to offend the Fourth Prince at this time.

Because of this, after hearing the invitation of the four princes, even if the ten princes scolded the other half to death in their hearts, they still had a faint smile on his face. Then he thought of his father's death, and smiled again. convergence.

"Then trouble four brothers." The tenth prince said politely.

"It's not troublesome, it's also on the way. Anyway, I want to go to the palace." The fourth prince said with a smile, but he was a little brazen, and the smile on his face didn't mean to constrain.

"Yes, now that the emperor has just gone to immortality, this country can't be ruled for a day. After Feng Jueguo, we still need to rely on the leadership of the fourth elder brother." The ten princes said respectfully.

"It's still nothing. It's too early to say this. Let's deal with the father's funeral first." The fourth prince waved his hand and said, but from the confident smile on his face, everyone could tell that he Regarding that throne’s ambition, although he was still uncertain, in his heart, he must have regarded that throne as his own.

"Fourth brother is humble. Now the entire Fengjueguo, who can be more qualified to inherit the throne than the fourth brother? If someone else succeeds to the throne, I will be the first to express dissatisfaction." The tenth prince still respectfully said to the fourth prince. .

The words of the ten princes are very useful to the four princes. After all, the four princes are also princes and are theoretically qualified to inherit the throne. Now that he has said so, he has obviously expressed his sincere conviction for himself, which makes the four princes. I felt a little airy in my heart.

"I know that the tenth brother has always been very talented. If I can really get to that position, I will definitely not treat you badly." The fourth prince promised.

The four princes are not stupid. Although his current strength is very strong, he is not supported by everyone in this country. Some people will definitely support other princes. In this way, the determination of the throne will be inevitable. There is a fight.

Under this circumstance, the four princes naturally hope to get more support. Although he already feels that he is the strongest, even if other people oppose it, it will not have any impact on the final result, but, He also does not want any accidents, so it is always good to have one more person to support.

Especially the ten princes are still princes, his support is naturally more important than other military commanders and ministers, and from the beginning, the four princes did not regard the ten princes as opponents, and naturally treated him too. There is not much hostility, and it is not impossible to win him over.

"The courtier will thank the fourth elder brother first." The tenth prince said with his hands.

Although he wanted to be in that position very much, but now it seems that it is no longer possible. Since that matter is no longer possible, he needs to think ahead for his future and support the future emperor in advance. , Is obviously a good choice.

After the four princes ascended the throne, it would be good if he could be reused. There was no danger to his life, and he could still gain some power. This was already a good result.

Of course, as long as he thinks of the throne, his heart is bleeding. No matter how good other positions are, there is no way to compare with the throne. He naturally wants the throne more. Knowing it, it seems impossible now, he It can only be second best.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you and I are brothers, so naturally we should support each other." The four princes said with a smile.

"That is, that is." The tenth prince replied: "I must be on the side of the fourth brother."

The ten princes knew that the reason the fourth prince spoke to him so well was because the other party did not regard him as a threat at all. If he threatened the other party a little bit, the other party would not welcome him with a smile now.

The ten princes felt a little aggrieved. Naturally, he didn't want to be looked down upon like this, but now he was not qualified to say hard words, and even thanked the four princes for not treating him as a threat.

"Ten brother, how did you say that the father died?" The four princes shifted the topic to the old emperor: "According to the news from the palace, the father died in an assassination, the guard outside the palace, the eunuch, and the maid. Waiting for the people, all were knocked out. Those people didn’t even know how many assassins were and what they looked like. Obviously, this assassin came prepared, and he was still a master, but I don’t know who is behind him, and What is the purpose."

As the four princes said, there was doubt on his face, a thoughtful expression, as if he was thinking about who actually assassinated the old emperor.

The ten princes on one side were secretly observing the expressions of the four princes, and wanted to see if he was acting. The first time they knew that the old emperor was assassinated, the first suspicion of the ten princes was the four. The prince, after all, the four princes benefit the most when the old emperor dies. He is now the strongest. As long as the old emperor dies, he has the best chance to ascend to the throne.

The other princes, including him, will completely lose the opportunity to fight for the throne, and they may even be retaliated by the four princes. Therefore, the four princes have the motive to assassinate the old emperor.

However, the four princes now look like they don’t know what the assassin is. The ten princes don’t know if he is acting, but they dare not ask face to face. It will put him in danger. He obviously won’t. That's it.
