Chapter 5167 Pressure

"Little bastard, dare to plot against me, let me see how I will deal with you."

Zhao Danyang snorted coldly in his heart.

At this moment, when everyone looked at Shen Mengtian, their eyes were full of teasing.

Everyone was waiting for Shen Mengtian to make a fool of himself.

However, what people didn't expect was that Shen Mengtian didn't pay any attention to Zhao Danyang's question at all, but raised his eyelids slightly and said coldly: "Uncle Wang, is this the question you should ask?"

Zhao Danyang's eyes turned cold: "You are so presumptuous, Shen Mengtian, don't think that you can say such disrespectful words just because you are the prince. I, Zhao Danyang, as a vassal king, care about the safety of the emperor. This is my job. Everyone present should also know that I, Zhao Danyang, have the best relationship with the emperor. Now that the emperor has been attacked and killed, I will naturally find the murderer and cut him into pieces!"

A sinister and angry voice echoed.

"Prince, what you said just now is too much. We are the princes granted by the emperor, so we are naturally qualified to ask about the assassination of the emperor."

Another prince spoke.

At this moment, it was Hu Badao who spoke. He had a full beard, eagle-like eyes, and a sharp aura.

"That's right, Your Highness, as princes, we should fulfill our duties as princes, so this time, no matter what, we must find the murderer."

"Please cooperate with us, Your Highness, and try to find the murderer as soon as possible, arrest the murderer and bring him to justice, and avenge the emperor."

"Your Highness, please answer us, did you see the murderer's appearance with your own eyes that day?"

The whole hall was in chaos.

The twelve princes surprisingly agreed on the same goal, which was to attack together and cooperate with Zhao Danyang to form a siege against Shen Mengtian.

They all saw that Shen Mengtian had shown his determination to take the throne since he took the initiative to sit in that position as soon as he came in.

In this case, there was nothing to say. They could not just watch Shen Mengtian ascend to the throne and remain indifferent. Therefore, the first thing they had to do was to embarrass Shen Mengtian. In this way, he would lose the dignity of the prince, so how could he be qualified to succeed the throne!

Moreover, now they not only wanted to embarrass Shen Mengtian, but also put some of the charges of the assassination of the emperor on Shen Mengtian. At least it was a charge of inadequate protection, because it was you, Shen Mengtian, who was the first to arrive at the scene after the assassination.

The most important thing was that after you arrived, you, Shen Mengtian, took action and fought with the thief who dared to assassinate the emperor. This was a key point for everyone to put charges on Shen Mengtian.

As long as this crime is proven, Shen Mengtian will not be able to take the throne. As for the other princes, they are just chickens and dogs in their eyes, and there is no need to worry about them at all.

These princes want to seize the throne, but they also know in their hearts that it is impossible for them to sit on the throne, otherwise, no one will obey anyone, and then a war will inevitably break out. In this way, the royal family will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So, what they want to do is to suppress people like Shen Mengtian who are capable and have means, and then support a person who has no ability at all to sit on the throne of the emperor, while they can use the emperor to control the princes and hide behind them as their emperor.

This is the consensus reached by the twelve princes at the scene in the shortest time.

Of course, it is unknown how long such a consensus can last, but at least in the short term, their goals are the same.

Since the goals are the same, it will be much easier.

As soon as Zhao Danyang pointed his gun at Shen Mengtian, the other princes began to support him. In this way, Shen Mengtian was surrounded by enemies.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you mean. You ran into the murderer head-on, but you let the murderer go. What is your intention?"

At this moment, a deep and majestic voice echoed.

This voice, like a dragon bell, hit the spot.

Everyone's heart jumped.

And the faces of the princes present also changed one after another, and their eyes looking at Shen Mengtian changed.

That look was full of anger and suspicion.

Because, at this moment, the one who spoke was Li Zhongyuan, a veteran of three dynasties.

This one is an old minister who has been loyal to the royal family all his life. Since he spoke, it is basically correct. This time, Shen Mengtian is indeed problematic.

"Prince, you didn't do the death of your father?"

Suddenly, a low voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the one who spoke at this moment was the eldest prince.

This was the earliest son born by the emperor.

In theory, the position of the crown prince should be inherited by the eldest prince, but no one knew what happened in the emperor's palace that night. The queen passed away on the day of giving birth, and the emperor immediately announced that the position of the crown prince would be succeeded by Shen Mengtian.

Since then, the eldest prince has been thrown aside.

Many people have not paid attention to the eldest prince anymore.

After all, the selection of the crown prince has been settled, and there is no strong family support behind the eldest prince. In their opinion, the ending of the eldest prince's life has long been determined.

However, this time, the eldest prince took the initiative to attack Shen Mengtian, which gave them an opportunity.

Perhaps, it would be a good idea to support the eldest prince.

After all, it is in line with the royal orthodoxy for the eldest prince to succeed the throne.

When Zhao Danyang thought of this, he immediately had an idea in his heart, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sinister smile: "Your Highness, please tell us everything that happened that day so that we can explain it to everyone!"

The three-dynasty veteran Li Zhongyuan's face was full of wrinkles, revealing deep disappointment, looking at Shen Mengtian: "Your Highness, you disappoint me too much. I never thought that the assassination of the emperor would be related to you, but that is your father!"

At the end, the old man wiped his tears, extremely sad, and full of grief and indignation.

This does look like the case.

However, many people present sneered in their hearts. Everyone understood that Li Zhongchen had been bribed by Zhao Danyang a long time ago.

This is not a good thing for many people. Zhao Danyang is a vassal king outside the Divine Dynasty. He has no foundation in the Divine Capital, so everyone doesn't care how he interferes with the throne. After all, no matter who comes to power, the final important power will still be handed over to them.

But now...
