Chapter 2103: Give it a try

Controlling the eldest prince, or even the future emperor, is no small matter!

If you are not careful, your family will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated!

Duan Wanming's three sons were a little frightened.

Whether it is the prince or the emperor, it is not something that can be controlled casually. If it succeeds, naturally everything will be fine, but if it fails, it will cost the life, and it will still be the lives of many people.

"I know the worries in your hearts." Duan Wanming looked at his three sons and said, "But there is only one chance. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have such a good opportunity again in the future."

Duan Wanming knew very well how rare this opportunity was. If the eldest prince had been in the imperial capital, or if the succession of the throne had not been as twists and turns as it is now, then he would never have had such an opportunity. He would have been a city lord for the rest of his life, and even , if the second prince and the third prince ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, he will not even be able to be the city lord.

So, now that he has the opportunity, Duan Wanming doesn't want to give up, he wants to give it a try!

"But Dad, this matter is of great importance. Would you like to think about it again?" Duan Zeguang said carefully.

"No need, I've thought it through." Duan Wanming waved his hand and said: "Because of our relationship with the eldest prince, it is difficult for us to be alone, and the people of the second and third princes will not let us go, so , we must help the eldest prince ascend the throne and become emperor. If he fails, our whole family will still be unscathed. "

Duan Wanming's three sons nodded. They agreed with their father's words. They were indeed sitting on a boat with the eldest prince. Whether they were willing to accept this or not, this was a fact. , if they want to protect themselves, they must help the eldest prince ascend the throne and become emperor.

"But, dad, we don't have to control the eldest prince. If the eldest prince can really ascend the throne and become emperor, he will not treat us badly because of his sister's relationship." Duan Zeyun said.

It is okay to help the eldest prince, but there is really no need to control the eldest prince. The risks involved are too great.

Can the eldest prince be willing to be controlled? Obviously impossible.

And the ministers in the court, are they willing to see the emperor controlled by a family?

It's obviously impossible.

Therefore, if they really want to control the eldest prince or even the future emperor, they will be besieged and even become the target of public criticism.

"Of course he won't treat us badly, but he won't treat us too well!" Duan Wanming said: "You just said that the ministers in the court will not allow us, relatives of the emperor, to participate in the government. If the eldest prince really If we ascend the throne and become emperor, at most we will be given more rewards and some false duties. Don’t think about rights. In fact, in order to avoid suspicion, I, the city lord, may be forced to step aside. Do you think this result is acceptable? ?”

Duan Wanming's three sons unconsciously frowned.

Such a result is naturally not what they want to see. The Duan family has no shortage of money, and their duties are useless. These rewards are not attractive to them at all. Thinking about their whole family working hard to support the eldest prince, in the end , but can only get this, which is indeed a bit difficult to accept. The effort and reward are completely out of proportion.

What's more, a worse situation may arise. After the eldest prince ascends the throne, some ministers may attack Duan Wanming's position as city lord. After all, royal relatives cannot interfere in government affairs, and the position of the lord of a city is not low. Likely to be targeted by officials.

If that were the case, then the Duan family would really lose more than they gained. They tried their best to protect and even support the eldest prince, but in the end not only did they not get any benefits, but they were also deprived of their position as city lord. Who can bear this?

But because of their status, they had to help the eldest prince, which made them very embarrassed.

"So! We have only one choice now!" Duan Wanming said: "For the future of our entire Duan family, we must do this, even if it means taking risks, we must do it!"

This time, Duan Wanming's three sons did not object again because they had already figured it out.

Duan Wanming said it right. They really didn't have much choice but to take a chance.

"Dad, we understand, and we support your decision." Duan Zeguang said to Duan Wanming.

The other two people also nodded, indicating that they would always stand by Duan Wanming.

Duan Wanming nodded with satisfaction. He did this not only for himself, but also for his family and his descendants. If his sons don't understand him and don't support him, then what's the point of doing it?

Fortunately, his sons can understand him and support him, which makes him very happy.

"It's good if you can figure it out." Duan Wanming said: "Actually, this matter was not as dangerous or difficult as I thought. Now that the eldest prince is in our house, we can gradually replace everyone around him. , if he is replaced by one of us, then his every move will be under our control, and we can also cut off the possibility of him skipping us and contacting the outside world. "

Duan Wanming naturally did not make such a decision impulsively. He had considered it, and he did not think that it would be impossible to succeed. Now that Zhao Xuan was in their hands, they had every chance and time to do it. Do what you want to do.

Duan Wanming's three sons nodded. They had already figured it out. As long as it was a decision made by their father, they would support it.

At this moment, Duan Wanming's ears suddenly moved, his face changed, his eyes instantly looked out the window, and he said sternly: "Who is outside?!"

As he spoke, Duan Wanming's figure shook, and he rushed out, breaking through the window paper and going outside.

Bang!

Duan Wanming, who had just rushed out of the window, saw a figure, and he slapped it without thinking.

You know, what they just discussed in the study room is related to the life and property of their entire Duan family. If this matter is leaked out in advance, their entire family may not be safe.

So, no matter who is outside, he can't let it go. Although the other party may not have heard their conversation, Duan Wanming is obviously unwilling to take this risk.

However, what surprised Duan Wanming was that his palm did not repel the other party. The other party also slapped him, and the two palms collided together, ripples in the air, and the clothes of both people fluttered.

Duan Wanming retreated with the force of the recoil, and after landing on the ground, he stared at the man who had just slapped him.

It was not until this time that Duan Wanming saw that there was not only one person outside the house. There were several people next to the man who had slapped him. These people were all dressed in black and had black scarves on their faces. Obviously, they were not from the mansion.
