Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

"Grandma also fainted!"

Jia Zhu was carried back. It was heard that he was injured while protecting the emperor's grandson and was already dying.

The emperor's grandson was also seriously injured. He was the eldest son of the former prince and the emperor's intended heir to the throne.

Since the death of the former crown prince, the emperor has been depressed. He posthumously named the former prince Prince Yoshitaka and buried him with high standards. Later, he became interested in abdicating the throne, believing that he had damaged the former prince's fortune and his life because he had been emperor for too long.

Among his several children, the one he loved the most was the former prince, his eldest son, and the one he spent the most time cultivating. Nowadays, when the white-haired man sends the black-haired man away, his old father's heart is the most painful.

Therefore, he hesitated and did not immediately follow the advice in the will written by his eldest son before his hospital bed, suggesting that he pass the throne to his younger brothers. Instead, he secretly wanted to pass it on to his eldest son's children.

In this way, if the emperor's grandson succeeds to the throne, he will definitely make his eldest son the emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that etiquette did not allow him to pass the throne to his dead eldest son, he would not have to consider taking this step.

Because of this, the royalists appeared firmly around the great emperor and grandson, hoping to follow the dragon's merits, and Jia Zhu was one of them.

The emperor is optimistic about this situation. His body is still strong, and he will have no problem taking care of his grandson and inheriting the great treasure.

His sons also recognized the former prince as their elder brother, so he never considered whether his sons would disagree with his nephew becoming emperor. He didn't care whether they had their own little thoughts.

So when the great emperor's grandson was assassinated by a group of men in black while hunting in the paddock, and he broke his leg due to a fall and became a cripple, he really regretted it.

It shouldn’t be! If he had listened to his eldest son, the eldest grandson would not have to suffer like this.

The emperor's heart was filled with grief and shock.

In this accident, three people died on the spot. Now there are three more people like Jia Zhu who are in critical condition. Including the grandson of the emperor who had a broken leg, there are eight people in total. The injuries are really heavy.

This was not only a loss for the royalists but also a sign of the erosion of his authority. If he was young, who would dare to harm others under his nose?

"How are the people back home doing now?"

The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally spoke from the cracked lips.

Dai Quan, the leader of the eunuchs who had been with him for most of his life, looked at him distressedly, "Returning to the emperor, there are already two young eunuchs who came to report just now. Only Jia Zhu, the grandson of Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, and Zhu Yu, the son of Marquis Jing'an are left. I’m really still seeing a doctor.”

The emperor sighed, "I remember that this is the only son left in the Marquis of Jingan family, right? His family has also served the country for generations. By his generation, the four older descendants all died in the border defense. I also promised I will never send his family to guard the border again, and I will ensure that this Zhu Yuzhen can continue the family lineage with peace of mind. If he dies, then I...oh, how ashamed!"

"I remember Jia Zhu too! This is Jia Daishan's direct grandson, and I heard that he is the most successful one in their family. I also promised Daishan that if I keep it, his family will be rich and prosperous, and he will be with the country. If something happens to him, he will die." , how can I meet Daishan in the future?"

Dai Quan had witnessed the friendship between the emperor and Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan. He was also the only close friend the emperor recognized, so he also sighed.

"Your Majesty, Jiren has his own destiny, and Lord Rongguo is in heaven and will bless him."

While they were talking, a young eunuch suddenly came to report that Zhu Yuzhen was about to die, and Mrs. Jingan Hou Tai requested the emperor to send an order to send the best doctor in the palace to save her grandson's life.

"Didn't I send someone?"

The emperor was shocked and confused. Seeing Dai Quan kneeling down, he said that he had indeed sent the doctor, but now the best doctors in the palace were treating the emperor's grandson.

"Quickly call some good ones to rescue Zhu Yuzhen! Jia Zhu has also sent some good ones!"

After the emperor finished his instructions, he walked outside the hall and saw the princes and grandsons kneeling in two rows.

The murderer of this assassination was among these people, but he didn't want to care who it was.

"If you can assassinate Hong'er today, you will dare to assassinate me tomorrow! A cold position has caused you to not know the meaning of benevolence, filial piety, brotherhood, and family ties. Just like you, you still want to be the emperor. I think you are all dreaming!"

"Hong'er can't be the emperor anymore, but I have more than one child and more than one grandson. If I really don't want to be the son of a man anymore and start killing each other, then come here and kill me! I'll take care of it!"

"Father! Grandpa Huang!"

Everyone below was arguing and crying that it was not them. Those with radical personalities must commit suicide to prove their innocence. He was stopped by Dai Quan, the eunuch with sharp eyes and quick hands.

Only then did the emperor wake up from his extremely angry state of mind. When he saw that it was his son Laojiu who wanted to die to prove his innocence, he softened his heart. This was the youngest son he had always loved.

"Fourth brother, why don't you look at your brother? How dare you ask him to mess around..."

"Father!" The fourth prince walked a few steps to the emperor and said, "Although my son and my ninth brother are from the same mother, we cannot stop his ambition. Both my ninth brother and my son are innocent people. They have never been I have never had any treasonous thoughts.”

"Now our father is suspicious of us. Although we are aggrieved, we have no way to argue. We can only die to prove our innocence to our father. Although the person who is responsible for Hong'er's matter has not been found out, it is true that he is uncle to us. It’s related to poor care. If I didn’t want to find out the facts and feel sorry for my brother, I would have done the same thing!”

The emperor looked stern. Indeed, although looking at the current situation, it does seem that these people harmed the emperor's grandson in order to gain power and throne, but it cannot be ruled out that foreign forces do not want to see peace here and deliberately want to sow discord.

The emperor calmly thought about it for a while and said, "You're right. I'm so angry that I'm dizzy. Children, please get up." He looked at the silent second prince, third prince and others, feeling disappointed.

In the past, in order to ensure that the emperor's legitimate son could inherit the great treasure, the remaining children were deliberately raised crookedly by him. Now that his eldest son had lost He Xinyi and had to consider the subsequent inheritance, he regretted it.

He looked at the other two children of the prince and found that they were in the same situation as his. These two grandsons were also as useless as little frozen cats.

He is the eldest son of Mr. Lucky, but the eldest son's family is the legitimate son of three concubines. As a result, the legitimate son was stolen just over four months ago, and he has not been found until now. It seems that there is no hope for him.

He made a comparison among this group of children and found that the fourth prince who once helped the prince part-time as a prisoner was more capable.

He once served as the examiner of scientific examinations when the former prince was seriously ill, and also transported grain and grass to disaster areas to treat people. Looking back now, it seems that this child who had been working with the crown prince before was still his favorite.

So the emperor decided to give the fourth prince a chance, a chance to become a great treasure.

"It is passed down that the fourth son of the emperor will have full authority to investigate the assassination of Emperor Sun Hong'er at the hunting ground. The six departments will be given full cooperation."

"My son, I obey."
