I'm The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

Emperor Tiansheng knew that he could no longer hesitate between Li Mingjin and the fourth prince.

He needs to come to a conclusion.

Although what he had was just a dream, it also reflected the emotions between the princes.

The boss has no talent and no virtue;

The prince is not his own, so don't mention it;

The third child has absolute military talent and personal charm, but he is not very good at turning and is a bit straight;

The fourth child is gentle and courteous, knowledgeable, ambitious, and good at hiding himself. A person like him is really suitable for working hard in the officialdom.

But now the choice is for the future emperor, someone who can stabilize and develop their Great Xia. The remaining two capable princes each have their own strengths and their own shortcomings. There is no need to consider the heirs, both of them have sons .

Their advantages are also obvious. Neither side has a strong mother clan. After inheriting the throne, neither will be restrained by the mother clan. It just depends on who can continue to reform the court after ascending the throne.

There are also disadvantages. Neither of them has received formal monarch education. Emperor Tiansheng wants to teach them a lot of truths and handling principles, but with his current physical condition, he is powerless.

Next, if the third child ascends the throne, can the fourth child and the other princes stay?Conversely, if the fourth child ascends the throne, will the third child and the other princes be able to stay, and will the third child raise an army?

Also, what happened in his dream that all the princes from other countries were on the side of the fourth child?

Over the years, the fourth child has no snobbish mother clan behind him, how did he suddenly increase his power?

Does the third child have the ability to contend with it?

Emperor Tiansheng thought more and more deeply, and he found that he didn't seem to understand these two sons deeply enough. If he put the strength of the two countries in front of him, he could still say one, two, three, but how could he talk about his two sons? Is it stuck and can't be compared?

He doesn't know how strong the two parties are, what are the forces behind them, what has he been doing all these years, has he been blinded by them?

No, he knows the strength of the third child. All his team members are in Gucheng, and the fourth child is a civil servant and a side of the capital. If the throne is given to the third child, he may not be able to keep it. If he is not sure, he will be banned within three days The fourth child was replaced.

The third child seems to be a little weak, that's the only way to go.

When Emperor Tiansheng was struggling with the choice of the future emperor, the fourth prince and Shen Mingyun obviously couldn't hold back.

They need to break the current balance. As far as they know, the father has not yet made a decision. Who is he going to hand over this country?

Let them push it.

After Shen Mingyun learned that the ultimate goal of the system was to help the fourth prince win the throne, he could retire after completing this task.

Since you want to finish it, then speed up the progress, he doesn't have the patience of the Fourth Prince.

The two got into trouble because of their relationship. On the one hand, Shen Mingyun hated the fourth prince for cheating, but on the other hand he had to protect his own life. Without the fourth prince, he still has two children.

To get rid of the current predicament is to let the fourth prince get the throne, and then he can get rid of it earlier.

Shen Mingyun made a rather detrimental suggestion to the fourth prince: "Your father is dying now, why don't you add some ingredients to the soup he drank." To speed up the speed of his death, he will die anyway, "I don't believe you If you have any feelings for him, he can't even remember who your mother and concubine are."

The fourth prince's mother and concubine are just a little court lady, and Emperor Tiansheng still remembers that she has ghosts.

It has to be said that Shen Mingyun's mention of this really hit the fourth prince's weakness. He pretended not to care, and he cared the most, and the reason why he was eager to get the throne was his concubine mother. Emperor Sheng didn't care about their mother and son at all, and he would not be reduced to begging for food beside Concubine Lin Gui and his elder brother since he was a child. Whenever he saw his elder brother gaining the favor of his father, he would ask him about his homework with concern and hear his father's care for him. Words, he was extremely jealous in his heart, wishing to replace his eldest brother to get the attention of his father.

But in the end, he never got the love of his father.

If the elder brother and the prince hadn't had accidents one after another, how could he have gotten into the eyes of his father; if he hadn't put his own marriage into it, how could he have competed with other princes? It was also his luck that he met Shen Mingyun who volunteered to help him .

Although Shen Mingyun was extremely vulgar, he still gave birth to two children for him and helped him get his current position. The fourth prince knew that he had done nothing to apologize to him, but his cheating ruined their relationship. Shen Mingyun still trusted him before Yes, he is the one who broke the trust between them now, probably because of his obsession.

Then again, in fact, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention, he is just following his own heart.

Thinking about it this way, the guilt towards Shen Mingyun became a little less. The two of them actually used each other, one wanted power and the other wanted profit.

Accelerating the death of the father is indeed a way, and then write the imperial edict according to the handwriting of the father, and after he really passes away, the throne will naturally be his.

But the fourth prince was still a little worried, his third brother was not as straightforward as his father had seen, he was very treacherous and cunning, and he was not slippery.

To do this, you have to hide it from his eyeliner in the palace.

The fourth prince said: "We can think of this, third brother and the others can also think of it, and they will even guard against us."

"It depends on what you think, anyway, I gave you a suggestion." Shen Mingyun now has an attitude of nothing to do with himself, and he is still angry at what the fourth prince did before. The anger is still there, and some of the anger is accumulated from the system.

The protagonist who thought he was the absolute protagonist was suddenly told that his role was like an NPC, and anyone who heard it would be furious.

Why choose him?

What did he do wrong?

hateful!

hateful!

hateful!

Holding the system in your hands but not using it for yourself, this feeling is extremely uncomfortable, and you can't wait to dig out the system and throw it on the ground and step on your feet hard.

However, Shen Mingyun has nothing to do, without a system, he is nothing.

After the anger passed, he could only ask the system as humblely as in his previous life: "After the fourth prince ascends the throne, will you continue to ask me to assist him?"

System: "No, you will be free when the time comes."

Shen Mingyun's eyes lit up: "Great, then I can be at ease, and the mall will continue to be open to me."

The system paused for a moment: "It will be opened for you."

Shen Mingyun's mind has cleared up a little recently, and he also began to analyze the behavior of the system to help the fourth prince: "Do you also have your own mission?"

The system directly pretended to be dead, and there was no need for him to mention matters involving himself to Shen Mingyun.

Shen Mingyun didn't receive a reply from the system for a long time, and he already had an idea in his heart. Unfortunately, the system didn't know how to keep it in his mind. He couldn't do any harm or coercion to him. The person in control is still himself.

At this time, he remembered a famous saying: Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is for the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away.

He still wants to be free.

Let's complete the mandatory tasks of the system for the time being. After the fourth prince ascends the throne, it must have nothing to threaten him anymore.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu didn't know that Shen Mingyun had changed his view on the system, after all, this only happened in Shen Mingyun's mind.

However, from Shen Mingyun's attitude towards the fourth prince, it can be inferred that Shen Mingyun will choose to continue helping the fourth prince under this situation, and there must be a system to obstruct it, either by threats or temptations. Shen Mingyun is a soft bone. kick in.

For Shen Mingyun's actions, Luo Shuyu has no better way, but can only distinguish through his actions, and then react.

The relationship between the fourth prince and Shen Mingyun has been destroyed to such an extent that the system is still capable of turning the tide, and it really pinches Shen Mingyun's weakness. Another point is that Shen Mingyun is too dependent on the system, and he is too used to it. The most important thing is that the system brings He has many conveniences.

While thinking about how to deal with Shen Mingyun and the omnipotent system, Li Mingjin returned to the mansion from the barracks.

Luo Shuyu poured tea for Li Mingjin and asked him, "Why did you come back suddenly? Isn't there a drill today?"

After drinking the tea, Li Mingjin wiped his mouth and said, "The exercise is continuing. The secret guard informed me just now that the fourth brother may poison the emperor's medicine to speed up his death."

Luo Shuyu couldn't help asking: "Father hasn't been here for long, why does he still do this, what good is it for him?"

Li Mingjin: "The people he placed in the palace may have to take action."

Luo Shuyu's mind flashed: "Does he want to write the imperial edict for the father?" Both sides have spies in the palace, and they all know that Emperor Tiansheng has not yet determined who will inherit the throne, and the fourth prince obviously can't wait.

Li Mingjin: "You guessed right, he might not want to wait any longer. After all, the emperor has his concubine mother and concubine Wei Xian by his side. The concubine mother is naturally on our side, and concubine Wei Xian is naturally on our side. They may be worried about this. In order to prevent them from tampering, I want to act first."

Luo Shuyu rested her chin and thought for a while: "Then why don't we just play tricks?"

Li Mingjin raised her eyes and said with a smile: "I want to go with you, as expected of our dear father."

Luo Shuyu gave him a white look: "Be serious, let's talk about business."

Li Mingjin: "It's also my idea to use the plan. The Tai Hospital has always been conservative. As long as there is no external influence, the father will definitely live longer than they expected. This plan has two advantages. First, it will allow the father to see clearly. The fourth brother is a man, and secondly, he can also use this to clear the fourth brother's manpower from the palace." He prefers to get the throne without a single soldier, and the elite soldiers he raises are more willing to use them against outsiders rather than against their own people. There is absolutely no need to make the court full of smoke and gas.

Luo Shuyu: "But there is still one problem. I can only convince my father that he is a vicious person. What if my father doesn't fall for it?"

Li Mingjin: "Yu'er, do we still care about that holy paper? It's icing on the cake for us to have the emperor's imperial edict, and it doesn't matter if we don't have it."

Luo Shuyu: "Your Highness, you have to have confidence in yourself. I believe that the emperor will pass on the position to you, but I don't understand what he is struggling with."

Li Mingjin: "Older people see too many things, and it is difficult to make decisions. In his eyes, my fourth brother and I are equal in strength."

Luo Shuyu nodded, that's indeed the case, Emperor Tiansheng didn't see the forces behind them, what he wanted was someone who could suppress the court officials.

It can only be said that Emperor Tiansheng's structure and vision have become narrower and narrower with his age. This is probably the final reason why he cannot make a decision now. What he is looking at is not the future of Great Xia, but the future of the Great Xia. Which of the two sons is more in line with his wishes.

Luo Shuyu: "Then this plan, should I tell my father, after all, he is the one who makes the final decision."

If Emperor Tiansheng did not choose Li Mingjin in the end, then there was no need for them to protect him anymore. Protecting him now is just to hope that there will be no greater conflict with the Fourth Prince in the future, and that fewer people will be hurt.

Li Mingjin: "Discuss with him in private. I think the fourth brother will do it in two days. I will go to the palace to discuss with Father tonight."

Luo Shuyu: "I wish Your Highness all the best."

If Emperor Tiansheng didn't agree, Li Mingjin and Concubine Mei would try their best to get him to agree. Anyway, he is in a bad mood now, and it's almost enough to drink some sleep aid medicine, and there is no need to mobilize the crowd.

Li Mingjin said to himself: "It will definitely go well."

At the same time, the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Shen Mingyun handed a bottle of drug effect accelerator provided by the system for free to the fourth prince: "This potion is colorless and tasteless, as long as one drop is added to your father's medicine every day, his body functions will rapidly decline within three days. No matter how clever the doctor is, he can't find it out." This potion does not belong to this era, and Shen Mingyun is too lazy to argue with the system about its inconsistent decisions.

It is definitely preferential treatment for the fourth prince, and he is just incidental.

I've been thinking about the purpose of the system recently, but I haven't figured out any other meanings. Apart from helping the fourth prince ascend the throne, what else is there? Its mission is most directly related to the success of the fourth prince's enthronement?

The fourth prince stared at the liquid in this small transparent bottle, his eyes burst out with greedy light, he evoked a slight smile: "Great, Mingyun, our great cause is about to come true!"

Shen Mingyun: "As long as you arrange the manpower in the palace well, it's basically not a problem."

Shen Mingyun has been walking towards this goal with the fourth prince for the past few years, but he was actually infected by the fourth prince's emotions, and was a little agitated.

Man, what a contradiction.

No matter what the system's ultimate mission is, but his mission is about to be completed, he is about to be free, and he doesn't have to die!

Three days later, bad news spread from the palace. Emperor Tiansheng was seriously ill in bed and unable to get up.

The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, today I am your system, and you are my host. You have to complete all the tasks I assign to you in order to be rewarded!

Luo Shuyu: I'm sorry, I don't need a system, so I refuse to communicate.

Third Prince: ...
