Emperor Ganwen admired Dongfang Xu's words in his heart, but he just nodded without any expression on his face.This action made Dongfang Xu's hand relax a little bit, and his uneasy heart also let go.

Dongfang Jin had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two imperial brothers and his father. At this moment, Emperor Qianwen's eyes fell on him. He knew that it was his turn to answer questions.

"Jin'er, which of the three of you brothers do you think is the most suitable to be crown prince?" Such a straightforward question really caught Dongfang Jin by surprise.He thought about many possible questions in his mind, but he never thought that Emperor Qianwen would ask him so directly who should be the best.

Dongfang Du and Dongfang Xu turned their heads to look at Dongfang Jin, sweating over this question in their hearts.Is this a vote? Who does the third prince think should be established, and who will the throne fall to? Dongfang Du thought that she should never be mentioned, but he also thought that if Dongfang Xu became the new crown prince, it would be a big deal. It's not good, it's really a dilemma.

Dongfang Jin hesitated for a moment, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Father, which prince should the crown prince be given to? I dare not speak nonsense. I must have made a decision in my heart. Whether it is the second prince who is established as the new prince , or the third brother is established as the new crown prince, the ministers will support the two brothers."

Dongfang Jin's words did not answer which one was the most suitable to be the crown prince, but he excluded himself from the candidates for the crown prince.

Emperor Qianwen waved his hand and told Dongfang Jin to sit back.

The three of them waited for Emperor Qianwen's decision, but they saw him push the paperweight, picked up the brush, and began to write on the paper.For a long time, they didn't speak.

After about a cup of tea, Emperor Ganwen put down his pen, raised his head and said: "On the third day of junior high school, your poisoning incident has not been investigated clearly. On the fifteenth day, your elder brother died suddenly again. Now , and want to establish a new crown prince, what method do you think should be used to select a new crown prince?" First mentioning what happened a while ago, and then talking about establishing a crown prince, this is obviously implying how many people, who can find out the truth of the matter, Who is the new prince.

However, to Emperor Qianwen's surprise, the three of them remained silent together, and none of them took his words.

☆、Chapter [-]

Seeing that none of the three princes answered his own words, Emperor Qianwen shook his head without a trace, lamenting in his heart, the eldest prince is gone, and the remaining few princes are not people who are greedy for power. , I'm afraid it's going to decline.

Worrying eyes swept over Dongfang Du, Dongfang Xu, Dongfang Jin one by one, and finally landed on Dongfang Xu.Among the three, Dongfang Xu was the only one who had ever shown a hint of wanting to be the crown prince. Coupled with what Empress Song had mentioned in his ear, he felt that maybe Dongfang Xu should be given a chance. If not, We can only follow the ancestral precepts and appoint Dongfang Du, the oldest of the three, as the new crown prince.

Emperor Qianwen was worried above, and the people in the center of the hall were also worried.

Dongfangdu didn't want the throne, but he also knew that he couldn't just leave like this. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Jin, thinking about what to do next.Dongfang Xu absolutely cannot allow him to become the prince, not to mention that he is Dongfang Xi's own younger brother, even the little things he did secretly will never allow him to become the future emperor.Looking back on Dongfang Jin's details, it seems that she is the most suitable to be a prince, but one is the youngest, and the other is that she doesn't know what the real Dongfang Jin is like.

People who seem to be pure and virtuous are often the most hidden villains, and Dongfang Jin is the one who acts the most low-key and shows the most kindness and humility among the princes.If it is true, he is the most suitable prince. If everything is just an illusion, I am afraid that he who controls half of the court now will be in danger and eventually lose his life.

It is difficult to paint a tiger with painted skin and bones, and the human heart is the most unpredictable.

The hall, which had been silent for a long time, was finally broken by Dongfang Du's words.After thinking about it, Dongfang Du got up and cupped his hands and said, "Father, the matter of poisoning was originally ordered to be investigated by the Minister of Criminal Affairs and the Minister of Dali Temple. The three-day period is too short, and it is reasonable to have no investigation results. They have a chance, if they still can't investigate, it won't be too late to demote them from the capital."

What you said is reasonable, and in addition, the ministers of the Ministry of punishment and the ministers of Dali Temple are not low in rank. They can be regarded as ministers in the court. If they really want to resign, they will not be removed from the official ranks so quickly. The opportunity can just reflect the kindness of Emperor Qianwen to his ministers.

The emperor's kindness is so great that all civil and military officials will repay it with their bodies. If Zhao Hezhang and Xuan Qiuyu can't investigate again, even if their heads are chopped off, others will have nothing to say.Besides, this time, they will definitely find out the results of the investigation, and this is also a good time for the official to return to his original post.

Dongfang Xu frowned, not knowing what Dongfangdu meant by saying this, just when he was thinking about what to say, Dongfangdu continued: "As for the matter of the emperor's brother, although the imperial doctor Chen said that the emperor's brother went It is calm and has nothing to do with the poisoning, but it is inevitable that someone will use some colorless and odorless poison to poison the emperor."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Dongfang Xu from the corner of his eye, saw his hands on his lap trembling slightly, understood it in his heart, and continued: "My son's master, Wu Yazi, knows all kinds of poisons in the world, and is currently in the capital. If the father believed in the master, why not ask him to cooperate with the two adults to investigate the poisoning on the night of the third year of junior high school and the sudden death of the emperor's brother."

That said, I just want to trick Dongfang Xu into showing off. Dongfang Xi has already been buried in the imperial mausoleum. Even if Wu Yazi knows all kinds of poisons in the world, he will not have the opportunity to check it himself. to assist them.

After Dongfang Du finished speaking, Dongfang Xu became even more nervous.It seems that the chief culprit of Dongfang Xi's sudden death was really him.I just don't understand why Dongfang Xu would do such a thing at this time? Even if Dongfang Xi wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't kill his own brother, would he? At most, he would just abolish him.But looking at what Dongfang Xu did, he killed Dongfang Xi directly and silently.

The most ruthless emperor's family, not to mention half-fathers, even half-mothers, would fight each other because of certain interests.Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Xu are the best examples.

The expressions and actions of the three of them were naturally clear to Emperor Qianwen who was sitting above.Princes have been competing for power since ancient times, and there are not a few people who kill their fathers and brothers to ascend to the throne.Emperor Ganwen sighed helplessly, and said: "Just listen to Du'er today, and let Zhao Hezhang and Xuan Qiuyu continue to investigate the poisoning incident and Xi'er incident. Master Wu Yazi, please help them both." He waved his hands and said to them: "Okay, you all go back to your own palace first."

Emperor Qianwen didn't want to say any more, and waved away the people, but when Dongfang Du was about to exit the door, he shouted: "Du'er, you stay here for now, don't leave yet."

Dongfang Xu and Dongfangjin looked at Dongfangdu at the same time, and then turned their heads to look at each other, thinking that Emperor Qianwen left her because he wanted to tell her about the crown prince.

The door of the Cultivation Hall was closed again. At this moment, only Dongfang Du and Emperor Qianwen were in the huge hall.Dongfang Du turned back and walked back to the center of the hall, cupped his hands and asked, "Imperial Father, do you have other matters to explain?" She also felt a little uneasy in her heart, not because of anything else, but because of her Kill Anfeng.

If there is a guilty conscience, the only thing is nuè killing Anfeng.But if Anfeng wanted to touch her Yun'er, he deserved to die.So why should she feel guilty?

Emperor Ganwen walked up to Dongfang Du slowly, patted her on the shoulder, and sighed quietly: "If Du'er wants to be the crown prince and heir, it would be great to succeed me as the great treasure in the future!" But he knew Dongfang Du He doesn't want his throne, but just wants to leave the capital and live a free life with Anyun.

Dongfangdu didn't know what to answer, so he could only continue to lower his head.

Seeing this, Emperor Qianwen said helplessly: "If Du'er doesn't want the throne, what about Xu'er?" This is to ask Dongfang Du's opinion on the new crown prince alone.

After pondering for a moment, Dongfangdu asked: "Father, do you really not consider Huangjie? Huangjie is not as weak as we see, she has her strength, she has her intelligence, and at the same time she has a woman's personality." Compassionate and kind, if the imperial sister is the empress, she will be famous forever, and the empress of Nanchi country will never be as good as her."
