Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Seeing He Li coming back, He Cong felt reassured.

The emperor's eyes also flashed with surprise, but it was fleeting. Then he frowned and pretended to be angry: "You, you have been gone for more than two months and there is no news. Father thought he would not be able to wait for you to come back!"

"How is that possible? Long live the emperor!" He Lipi smiled, looking nonchalant.

Now that all the sons are together, the issue of appointing a crown prince should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

He Hai glanced at General He, and his meaning was very clear. How come their people didn't find He Li and let him return to the capital smoothly?

General He pretended not to see it. He had no grudge against the Tenth Master and there was no need to get involved. Besides, the situation might very well turn around. Only in this way could he protect himself.

As for which one to choose, the ministers had different opinions and each held their own view. After voting, nearly 42 of the 20 ministers supported choosing the Sixth King He Hai.

The seventh prince He Cong had 15 votes, and the seventh prince He Li and the ninth prince He Chao each had one vote. It was obvious that the competition between the sixth prince and the seventh prince was fierce.

Censor Hong Chang saluted with both hands: "Your Majesty, I unanimously believe that the Sixth Prince is of noble birth, kind-hearted, his mother's family is clean, and he has made contributions to the court. He is the best choice."

The Nine Gates Commander Xiao Miao also said loudly: "Yes! My mother is the current imperial concubine Ling, and her status is so noble. Besides, she and her grandfather had great military exploits.

Although the Seventh Prince is kindhearted and well-off in all aspects, his mother is of humble origin, and it is difficult for her to enter the upper class with this status. "

Long Duo, the Shaoqing of Dali City, disagreed: "The Nine Gates Admiral is wrong. If we only look at one's background, how can you and I still sit in this position?"

"!"

Xiao Miao was suddenly speechless. Yes, he was still superficial. He came from a poor family and it was not easy for him to get to his current position with his own hands.

Finally, after much hesitation, Xiao Miao cast his vote for the Seventh King. There was only a difference of two votes, and the situation became extremely intense.

As if seeing that the outcome was already decided, He Hai's mouth curled up. He thought He Li would have some trump card, but now it seems that it is just that. It seems that his worries were unnecessary.

As he was thinking, He Li looked around at the ministers present and slowly spoke: "Everyone says that the Sixth Prince is kind-hearted. If everyone knew what he did, would they still say that?"

These words were like a bolt of thunder dropping out of the blue, causing an uproar in the classroom. He Hai's face changed, and the thing he was worried about finally happened.

The emperor slapped his armrest, his eyes wide open, "How dare you, He Li! You two are brothers. How dare you speak so rudely and slander your sixth brother? I will not forgive you!"

He Li said solemnly: "Your Majesty, calm down! Actually, I didn't finish my words just now. This time, I almost couldn't come back because someone wanted to kill me!"

At this point, He Li looked at He Hai intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of sneer on his lips: "And I am not just talking nonsense, I have witnesses."

He Hai felt an inexplicable chill on his back. Oh no! This kid is probably up to something bad.

Seeing him speaking so confidently, the emperor could not help but question him. After a moment's hesitation, he asked him to bring a witness.

He Li clapped his hands, and then Guard Zhan brought a dozen men and a woman. He Hai's face turned pale immediately.

He Li told all the information he had found in Heyang County during this period, including the news in Keyang County, Pingnan County and Fenghuang County. The emperor's face changed like Sichuan's.

He Hai flatly denied it and turned the tables on He Li, accusing him of slandering him. Until He Li told him his plan and took out the token, He Hai was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.

"He Hai, what else do you have to say? I never thought you would want to harm your brother's life!" The emperor was furious.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The situation was clear at a glance, and He Hai immediately fell to the ground and shouted for mercy.

The ministers who had previously supported him now abandoned him and turned to the Seventh Prince He Cong.

I thought this matter was a sure thing, but I didn't expect it to fail. He Hai's eyes were fierce, he drew out the knife he carried with him and rushed towards He Li.

Guard Zhan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly took out his knife and blocked He Li. There was a flash of swords and sabers, and the ministers scattered to avoid it.

"Come quickly and capture the Sixth Prince He Hai." The emperor shouted at the top of his lungs.

More than a dozen palace masters filed in and controlled the six kings in a short while. The ministers shook their heads. He Hai was courting his own death. His IQ was worrying.

Such a person is brave but not wise, and lacks patience. Even if he is lucky enough to sit on the throne of crown prince, he will not be able to hold the position firmly.

If he doesn't have a tolerant heart and becomes the new emperor of the Dazhi Dynasty by chance, the people's lives will be difficult.

On the other hand, He Cong is kind-hearted, calm and composed, and he remains unmoved even when faced with a mountain collapse. He has the demeanor of a great general, and those who previously supported him have turned to support the Seventh Prince He Cong.

Finally, the seventh prince He Cong was made the crown prince, and it was passed unanimously. As for He Hai and the other dozen witnesses, they were transferred to the Dali Temple.

No one is allowed to leak the news and the matter must be thoroughly investigated. In addition, no one is allowed to visit, not even his mother, Concubine Ling.

Before the court was dismissed, the emperor gave orders that heavy troops should be sent to guard the Six Princes' Palaces to prevent anyone from leaking the news.

Some people who had openly supported He Hai were now feeling insecure and trembling in their hearts. The matter had been handed over to the Dali Temple for a thorough investigation, and they didn't know whether they would be implicated.

Including He Taiwei, he was also worried about himself, fortunately he had kept a trick up his sleeve. He knew that now it seemed calm on the surface, but after the court session, the situation of the Dazhi Dynasty would change.

Only when he returned to his palace did He Cong heaved a sigh of relief: "Tenth brother, you came back at the right time. If you had come back later, I would have been the one in jail this time."

He Li knelt down with a serious face and said, "Congratulations to Brother Qi on becoming the Crown Prince. I am sorry that I came back late and made you worried."

"Hurry up!" He Cong helped He Li up with both hands, patted his shoulders, and said with emotion, "You have made an indispensable contribution to the establishment of the Seventh Brother as the Crown Prince. You are also tired. Go and rest first. I will welcome you tonight."

"Okay, I'll go take a rest then." He Li touched his butt and grinned, "I'm really exhausted these days. I've been traveling so fast that my butt is almost split in two."

The Tenth Brother in front of him was still in that carefree state, completely different from the steady look he had just shown. He Cong couldn't help but admire his ability to control himself.

Looking at He Li's back, He Cong seemed to be thinking about something. This tenth brother was very close to him and really treated him as his brother and always supported him.

But He Cong had suffered too much neglect since childhood, and was suspicious by nature. He did not dare to trust anyone completely, including his tenth brother He Li.

But this tenth brother spared no effort to help him become the crown prince, and almost lost his life, which touched him deeply.

"Seventh Master, thanks to Tenth Master, we were able to turn the situation around today." Confidant Ren Zhi was still in shock.

"Hmm~" He Cong nodded, looking at Ren Zhi with a serious expression: "From today on, you don't have to do anything. Pass on my order. No one is allowed to take advantage of the favor and become arrogant. Keep your tail between your legs and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes~" Ren Zhi took the order and left.
