The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1294
"Who do you think it will be?" Zhang Chongjing looked at Shen Shikang, but he already had a candidate in his mind.

"The first thing to rule out is Prince Gong. Anyway, he has already rebelled, so there is no need to do so! To him, a child is not a threat. Prince Jing is a possibility, but he is too far away from the capital, not to mention he is now The foundation is still shallow, so it shouldn't be so soon. The only one left is the third prince."

Shen Shikang stroked the beard on his chin, and felt that the third prince was the most suspicious.The third prince thought that since he was hiding in Baoen Temple, the aristocratic family in the capital would not pay close attention to him?
Once such a noble status is turned into mud, can you really let it go in your heart?
The other party hadn't moved in the past two years, but they didn't think that the third prince was breaking the can, or that he had seen through the world of mortals and ended his fate.

Otherwise, when the first emperor passed away, the third prince would not have come.Since it is necessary to break it, it should be done more thoroughly.

"However, it does not rule out the hands of other aristocratic families in the capital. Our Shen family has indeed been too much in the limelight these days. It is not impossible to provoke these people's fear, and use this matter to target our Shen family. What's more, if we can find out that the emperor was poisoned, other aristocratic families in the capital might also get the news."

Speaking of the poisoning of the emperor, Shen Shikang actually regretted it.Before, he really assisted the emperor, even though he was fighting for power, he never had any dissatisfaction with the emperor.

But when he learned that the emperor was poisoned, he couldn't help but have other thoughts in his heart.Their Shen family had offended many ministers because they stood in line before.If something really happened to the emperor, what should the Shen family do in the future?
He also thought about assisting the First Prince Zhao Guangye, but the First Prince was still too young after all.Furthermore, there are still several princes who are eyeing them, and it is too difficult to assist the young emperor.That being the case, it would be better for Mrs. Shen to take this seat.

"You are right, but the villain thinks that the third prince is the most suspected. And the third prince is quite close to Princess Rongjia of Duke Qin's mansion. Although nothing unusual was found, Princess Rongjia often went to It is doubtful that Baoen Temple ran away."

"Princess Rongjia is just a girl. What kind of climate can she become? The eldest princess and the emperor are siblings. Could it be that the eldest princess will rebel against the emperor? This is unlikely, even if the eldest princess knows the emperor's fate soon, Duke Qin The government should also support the First Prince and assist the First Prince to succeed to the throne!"

Shen Shikang disagreed, the eldest princess and the emperor had a deep relationship.Some time ago, the emperor was assassinated, and the eldest princess even blocked the sword for the emperor.The two siblings are deeply in love, how could the eldest princess betray the emperor?
"The eldest prince is too young, and many accidents will happen before he succeeds to the throne. What's more, you don't remember? There is also a son-in-law here! Duke Qin, you know his nature."

Being reminded like this, Shen Shikang also felt that it made sense.

"It's useless to discuss these now. Originally, I wanted to find out who was behind the scenes and clear my family's innocence. As for the others, it can be delayed for a day. But now the emperor may have found out that we are using these methods behind the scenes. It doesn't matter whether the prince's drowning was caused by us, Mrs. Shen. The emperor will not let Mrs. Shen go easily if he kills the chicken to make an example to the monkey."

Shen Shikang frowned, it was too late!The emperor's time is running out, and he has no scruples in doing things, so how can he care about the old love?

"Then what do you mean?" Zhang Chongjing looked at Shen Shikang in surprise, his heart was full of panic, could it be that your lord has already made a move?
"That's right! Forcing the palace!" Shen Shikang slapped his palm on the desk, and now he can only put all his eggs in one basket.

"My lord!" Zhang Chongjing was inexplicably horrified, he didn't know that his lord had such an idea.

"My lord, things are not without a turnaround, you can't be impulsive!"

"It's imminent, where is the turning point? Anyway, sooner or later, it will be reversed, why not take this opportunity to win it in one fell swoop, if it is later, the emperor will not give Shen's another chance!"

Seeing that Zhang Chongjing wanted to persuade him again, Shen Shikang quickly interrupted: "Everything is ready, just wait for the emperor to send someone to pass on the old man to enter the palace. Only by coercing the emperor to order the princes will there be a chance of winning!"

Their Shen family's foundation is weak, although they have already formed an alliance with the Beicheng Bingma Division and the Jingwei Commander Division, the attitude of these two newly promoted commanders is a bit difficult to figure out.

The alliance between them was not stable, and Shen Shikang was afraid that the two would turn against each other temporarily.Therefore, although he kept back, he was afraid that these two people would get in the way, so it would be more reliable to directly hold the emperor hostage.

Although he couldn't bear it, he was his nephew after all, but for the sake of the family, he had to be cruel.

"Since the lord has made a decision, the villain will stop persuading me, and now I have no choice but to take action." Zhang Chongjing knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only sigh.

"My lord! Grandpa Quan is here outside, saying that the emperor has called you into the palace to discuss matters!" There was a voice from the steward outside the door, and the two people in the room looked at each other, knowing that the opportunity had come.

"My lord, there is no turning back when I go here, I hope my lord will succeed!" Zhang Chongjing bowed deeply, and both of them knew that this time, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

Unless the emperor summons him, he cannot enter the palace.If he wanted to hold the emperor hostage, Shen Shikang could only risk himself.He has already arranged everything in the palace, now enter the palace to find out the reality.

Shen Shikang nodded, took a deep breath, and walked outside.

An old man and a young man were sitting in a gorgeous carriage, and the old man said first: "You follow me into the palace, hide the tooth plate, and act according to the old man's eyes. As soon as you find something wrong, you will blow the whistle! If the emperor really wants to summon you Old man, just wait first! It would be best to wait until you see the emperor before acting!"

Shen Shikang reminded him tirelessly, in fact, he didn't have to come, but he was still worried after all.If the emperor summoned him and he didn't come, then the emperor would have more reason to punish him for treason.

"Grandfather, don't worry! Grandson is ready, and you have told him three times!" Shen Mingkang knew that his grandfather was nervous, so he kept telling him.

In fact, he was also very flustered in his heart. If his grandfather kept talking, he would become even more nervous.

"Okay! Since you know what's in your mind, you don't need to repeat it again. But you have to remember that this matter must be safe and fast. As long as the emperor is kidnapped, it will be done!"

When Shen Shikang thought about it now, he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.If it really happens, their Shen family will become the emperor's dragon vein, how can this make him not excited?

"But outside the palace and in the house, will something happen?" Shen Mingkang was still a little hesitant, always feeling uneasy.

"These are not things you should worry about. The old man has already made the preparations. You only need to take care of what you have to do. When you enter the palace, follow the old man's instructions. Don't force yourself, don't show off, just send a signal." become!"

Shen Shikang is also a little worried, although this grandson's ability is good, but sometimes his temper is too jumpy.
