Imperial Demon Slayer Division

King Taishan turned back to look at Emperor Qin's body, sighed softly, and said

"Your Majesty hasn't even gone to the funeral yet, but these princes couldn't hold it any longer. Among the eight people who were kneeling on the ground just now, only Xiaojiu's eyes were red, and the others were all pretending. Alas, is this throne so important? "

In this regard, Shen Tongxuan, who is aloof from the world, is not surprised at all.

"Everyone's pursuit is different. Some people like power, some people like cultivation, and some people like beauty. This is just human nature. Even big monks like you and me are no exception. What about children like them? I can understand it thoroughly."

King Taishan nodded slightly and said with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty doesn't know why. He didn't appoint a prince when he was about to die. Aren't you going to let the brothers kill each other?"

Shen Tongxuan smiled slightly and said

"Your Majesty had a purpose in not establishing a prince. When that day comes, King Taishan will naturally understand."

King Taishan put his hands behind his back, walked to the door of the hall, looked at the sky in the distance, and sighed.

"Well, the auspicious day for burial chosen by Qin Tian is five days from now. In five days, there will probably be a bloody storm in the imperial capital."

"His Majesty clearly thinks highly of Jing'er, but he doesn't make him the crown prince. It's fine if he doesn't. On his deathbed, he sent Master Gu out to quell the rebellion. Jing'er's teacher is no longer around, and he has no one behind him. He is not at all. The rivals of his seven brothers"

Shen Tongxuan walked outside the hall and said softly

"Fang Ying has already sent a message to Gu Yan. He has now entered the land of Yezhou and will be back soon."

"And Gu Yan has already laid a nail in the imperial capital, so don't worry."

When King Taishan heard Shen Tongxuan's words, he vaguely guessed some of Emperor Qin's thoughts...

......

In the lobby of the Second Prince's Mansion

The second prince Qin Ming stood in the hall with his hands open, and the maid next to him changed into a mourning dress for him.

"Master Zhang, in your opinion, among the seven brothers in this palace, who is the greatest threat?"

Zhang Xiao, the minister of official affairs, pondered for a moment and then said

"Back to the second prince, after the eldest prince fell, most of his supporters were divided between the third prince and the fourth prince. The power of the second prince has nearly doubled. I think that now the third prince and the fourth prince are His Highness’s greatest enemy”

After the second prince changed into his mourning clothes, he walked to the chair and sat down, asking

"Master Zhang, don't you think the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth people pose a threat to me?"

Hearing the words of the second prince, Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, stroked his long beard, and said slowly

"If Mr. Gu is in the Imperial Capital, then 99% of the throne belongs to the Ninth Prince. But it is a pity that Mr. Gu was sent by His Majesty to the South China Sea to quell the rebellion. By the time he resolves the Poseidon Alliance and returns to the Imperial Capital, I am afraid that this battle will have ended long ago. The curtain came to an end.”

"As for the other princes, if they join forces, they still have some strength, but unfortunately they are scattered, and the second prince can easily wipe them out."

After such a long time, the news that Gu Yan is the teacher of the Ninth Prince has long been spread.

Many people in the court were speculating that Gu Yan brought down the most powerful eldest prince in order to clear the way for the ninth prince.

As for why the eldest prince died suddenly and suddenly, no one dared to think of it on Gu Yan. Maybe some people guessed it, but due to Gu Yan's power, no one dared to speak out.

The second prince laughed loudly after hearing this.

"So, my ninth brother is so pitiful. The throne that was so easy to get turned into a flower in the water and the moon in the mirror because of the emergence of the Poseidon Alliance. Haha."

As soon as the second prince said this, Zhang Xiao beside him couldn't help laughing.

"Master Zhang, how do you think I should kill the third and fourth brothers?"

Zhang Xiao squinted his eyes, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said in a deep voice

"Your Highness, I think we can use trumped-up charges to attack you."

After hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the second prince Qin Ming suddenly became interested.

"Master Zhang, please tell me in detail."

"What would happen if the Jianghu sects came to help in the battle for the crown prince of Great Qin?"

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the second prince's eyes lit up and he said quickly

"Master Zhang means that I can fabricate the third and fourth sons to ask the Jianghu sect to help them fight for the throne."

"Okay, okay, this plan is very clever. I just need to fabricate the news that the third and fourth elders condescended to ask Jianghu Sect to take action, and then find some warriors to pretend to be people from these two sects, and walk around the capital. When the time comes, Look at the three old and four, it’s just mud falling into the crotch, it’s not just shit, it’s shit, haha..."

When princes in the past dynasties were trying to seize the heir, no one dared to ask the sect for help.

When the empire was first established, there was a time when four sons were competing for the throne. Three of them were powerful and one was extremely weak. However, the Qin Emperor of that generation made the weakest prince the crown prince.

Just because the three princes were equally powerful and could not overwhelm their opponents when they wanted to seize the throne, they all invited people from Jianghu sects as foreign aid.

When the contemporary Emperor Qin learned about it, he was immediately furious. The Qin royal family was the supreme being, but his son actually asked those outsiders to help him snatch the crown prince's position.

The angry contemporary Emperor Qin directly deposed three people and appointed the weakest prince as the crown prince.

From then on, no one in the sect dared to ask for help from outsiders when the princes in the past dynasties were trying to win over their heirs.

And this has become a default unspoken rule

Although King Taishan and other royal princes will not interfere in the replacement of the throne, they will not allow such a person to ascend the supreme throne of the Great Qin Empire.

The second prince Qin Ming stood up from his chair, walked to Zhang Xiao with a teapot, poured him a cup of tea himself, and said with a smile

"Master Zhang is truly the pillar of our great Qin Dynasty. When I ascend the throne, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will belong to you."

After Zhang Xiao heard this, he quickly stood up, bowed to the end, and said respectfully

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

When the second prince heard the word "Your Majesty", he immediately beamed with joy, his smile reaching to the back of his head.

He stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Xiao's shoulder hard and said with a smile.

"Zhang Aiqing is truly worthy of being my great minister of the Qin Dynasty. With your advice, I will secure the throne, haha..."

Zhang Xiao lowered his head and said respectfully

"Where is it? The minister just made a small suggestion. The one who actually implemented it is His Highness, who has the talent of the world."

"Okay, it's getting late. It's time for me to go and keep vigil for my father."

After the second prince Qin Ming finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the hall.

Zhang Xiao behind him looked at Qin Ming's back, an indescribable meaning flashed in his eyes, and then bowed.

"Farewell to the Second Prince"

……

Qin Ming moved quickly, and a news came out in the city the next day

The third prince and the fourth prince respectively invited powerful men from Yanzhou Qijue Palace and Jiangzhou Jin family to come to Beijing to help them fight for the throne.

And there are indeed some more warriors in the city who exude powerful auras.

In the third prince's house, Qin Xiao, with an angry look on his face, smashed everything in the study and roared angrily.

"Who is it! Who is this heartless person who slandered me and my fourth brother like this!"
