low-key is king

Chapter 721
"Old Lu, what's going on, can you tell me in detail?"

It took Xuan Jing a long time to calm down his mind, and finally he settled down to ask a key question, with a hint of anticipation and curiosity in his tone.

Many princes knew in their hearts that His Majesty Emperor Daxuan loved the eldest son Xuan Zhengzhao the most.

Over the years, the prince's mansions have been fighting openly and secretly, but their biggest opponent is undoubtedly the one from the prince's mansion, who has caused many obstacles to the prince's mansion both openly and secretly.

But Prince Xuanzhengzhao has always stood firm. Sometimes even if he made some big mistakes, in the end, the big things turned into small things, and he has never been injured.

However, the news that comes out of Lu Yao's mouth is simply earth-shattering.

The two Xuan Jing brothers couldn't figure out what unforgivable crime Xuan Zhengzhao had committed, which provoked the fury of his father and directly deposed him as the crown prince.

"Could it be that Xuan Zhengzhao wants to rebel?"

Xuan Wugou subconsciously thought of a possibility, because apart from this, he couldn't think of anything else for Xuan Zhengzhao that could make their royal father so furious?

In this way, it must be that Xuan Zhengzhao was unwilling to sit on the crown prince and attempted to launch a coup. Only such a reason can explain why he was abolished.

"No, just for a woman!"

Unexpectedly, the facts that came out of Lu Yao's mouth immediately stunned the two brothers. They had calculated thousands of times, but they did not realize that it was such a trivial matter.

"Old Lu, it can't be that woman, father... the emperor also likes it, right?"

After a short period of sluggishness, Xuan Jing's face was full of disbelief, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, secretly thinking that such things as jealousy are really possible.

As for the woman who could turn Emperor Daxuan and the crown prince against each other because of this, Xuan Jing and Xuan Wugou were extremely curious about what kind of confidante she was.

"Where did you think of going?"

Lu Yao also glanced at Brother Xuanjing in disbelief, secretly thinking that the two of you are really unconstrained in your thinking, if only this matter were so simple.

"The cause of this matter has to start with Lu Xun from the Arts Teachers College..."

The next name that Lu Yao said made the faces of the two brothers darken in an instant, and what they bothered to hear most now was the word "Lu Xun".

"It's Lu Xun again!"

Xuan Wugou gritted his teeth, why is there Lu Xun everywhere, this guy is like a lingering ghost, everywhere.

It was only during the day that he stole the limelight at the civil and martial arts exchange meeting, beating up all the martial arts masters in the martial arts academy, and they didn't even dare to take the initiative to challenge the literary masters of the New Moon Palace. Obviously, they were afraid of Lu Xun.

But what they didn't expect was that only half a day had passed, that kid would make such a big monster again, even Prince Xuan Zhengzhao was dragged off his horse because of him.

"Lu Xun has opened a new Crescent Restaurant in the capital. The two Highnesses should know about it. The shopkeeper Long of the Crescent Restaurant is the crown prince... oh no, the woman the former crown prince has his eyes on!"

This time, Lu Yao didn't keep it secret, and explained the information he got in detail, as if he saw it with his own eyes, but in fact he wasn't there at the time.

What happened in the New Moon Restaurant was spread very quickly, especially those Prince's Mansions that had news channels, they all knew about it immediately.

For such a major event as the crown prince being abolished, any prince's mansion must close the door to discuss it after getting the news, right?

"The three great masters of the upper five realms of the College of Arts and Sciences? The leader of the Ten Thousand Leagues of Commerce also appeared to support Lu Xun?"

When the two Xuanjing brothers heard the news, they couldn't help but gasped, and their faces became gloomy again.

After all, Lu Xun is the enemy they want to kill. Now that guy has such a strong background, and there are many strong people in the upper five realms who have come forward to support him, it will not be so easy to move him.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do about Lu Xun now? How to take the lead after the crown prince is deposed is what we should do most!"

Fortunately, beside him was Lu Yao, an extremely clear-headed and powerful man of the Eight Realms. Hearing his words, Xuan Jing's body was shocked, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"Yeah, from this point of view, Lu Xun has done my prince a great favor this time!"

Xuan Jing, who straightened his mentality, returned to that strategic state, and even made a small joke.

Compared with dealing with Lu Xun, he is naturally more concerned about whether he can go further in the next position.

In a sense, if Lu Xun hadn't made such a fuss, the position of Crown Prince Xuan Zhengzhao would have been stable forever, and the chances of these princes would have been infinitely slim.

Had it not been for Wan Mingli's sudden utterance back then, would His Majesty the Emperor Daxuan have wanted to let this matter go?

This shows that Xuan Tiangao has always been the most optimistic about the eldest son, unless it is absolutely necessary, he must want to keep Xuan Zhengzhao's crown prince.

But now, His Majesty the Emperor Daxuan has already spoken eloquently, announcing the abolition of Xuan Zhengzhao's crown prince in full view, which greatly increases the chances of other princes.

"The First Prince's Mansion, the Fifth Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion must all have received the news, and they will definitely take action. Even His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince's side, we have to guard against it!"

Lu Yao singled out some princes who were qualified to compete for the crown prince, and when he finally mentioned a name, a young figure in black also appeared in his mind.

If it is said that Xuan Shisan was alone in the past and did not show any ambition for the crown prince, then Xuan Shisan has become the enemy of Xuan Jing's side.

No one knows whether Xuan Shisan will change his mind with Lu Xun's help. The last time the brothers killed Lu Xun, the two brothers were already tearing their skins apart.

That is to say, even if Xuan Shisan is the unintentional prince, he probably doesn't want to see Xuan Jing take this position, and there will be troubles in the future. This is what Lu Yao wants to say.

"Hmph, let's see who has more ability and means!"

Although Xuan Jing is not the most powerful among the princes, if he only looks at his mind, he will not be afraid of anyone else.

The position of crown prince is not something that can be obtained with a strong cultivation talent. It depends more on his wrist and mind. Can a mere reckless man manage such a large territory of the Daxuan Dynasty?

"Eighteenth brother, at the Eighth Prince's Mansion, you can find an opportunity to get in touch and promise some benefits. My starling should know how to stand in line!"

Xuan Jing's mind began to become active. If he wanted to fight for the crown prince, he could not do without helpers. After winning over Xuan Wugou, his next goal was to choose the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

He is undoubtedly very confident about this, after all, he has done a lot of preliminary work.

In the past, his starling didn't have much confidence in Xuan Jing because of the crown prince, but the situation is obviously different now.

Among the princes, Xuan Jing's competitiveness is undoubtedly quite strong.

…………

Wangcheng, the Great Prince's Mansion!
This is the mansion of the eldest prince Xuan Zhengming, speaking of which this is the real eldest son of the emperor Xuan Zhengming, and Xuan Zhengming is much older than them in Xuanjing.

It's a pity that Xuan Zhengming is not the empress's biological son, he only has the word "long" but not the word "di", so he can only have the name of elder brother in vain, but he has to look at the face of his second brother Xuan Zhengzhao .

Xuan Zhengming has always been unwilling to do this, but he has never shown it on the surface.

In the eyes of outsiders, he has already accepted this fact, the fact that he is different from his second brother as a monarch and minister.

"Hahaha, I knew it, sooner or later there would be such a day!"

But Xuan Zhengming, who was sitting in the main hall at this time, was holding a piece of information letter, and stood up directly from his chair, laughing wildly from his mouth, which made the Jindan cultivator next to him feel a little creepy.

It's just that this Jindan cultivator can also understand Xuan Zhengming's mood. Since the day Xuan Zhengzhao was born, the eldest son of the Daxuan royal family who has been overwhelmed, how much aggrieved has he endured alone these years?

As the elder brother, he had to bow down and salute when he met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Now that there is a distinction between monarchs and ministers, the status is completely different, and the status of the elder brother can only be leaned back.

The letter paper in Xuan Zhengming's hand at this moment is obviously what happened at the Crescent Restaurant.

The prince Xuan Zhengzhao who had suppressed him for many years was actually abolished directly, and he was abolished in front of many people.

That being the case, at least in a short period of time, there is no possibility of Xuan Zhengzhao being recovered.

It is impossible for Emperor Xuan Tiangao to slap himself in the face, and it is impossible to change such things day and night.

And when the crown prince is deposed, the most likely to take over the position of crown prince is Xuan Zhengming, the eldest son in name, because there are not many descendants of the current empress, so there is only Xuan Zhengzhao, the legitimate son.

Since there is no other son-in-law who can take over the crown prince, Xuan Zhengming knows that his chance has finally come.

Originally, he thought that this would be the end of his life, and he would have to be subordinate to Xuan Zhengzhao for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect the turning point to come so suddenly.

"This Lu Xun is really helpful, Mr. Zhu, do you think we should prepare a generous gift to thank him?"

Xuan Zhengming was a little too excited. As soon as this remark came out, the Jindan powerhouse surnamed Zhu couldn't help but frowned, secretly thinking that His Royal Highness was dazzled by ecstasy, right?
"No!"

Fortunately, Elder Zhu, who is a Jindan powerhouse, is still very sensible, and he explained: "Your Highness, you have to be clear, His Majesty was forced to abolish the crown prince this time, do you think he will have a good impression of Lu Xun? "

"If we go to make friends with Lu Xun at this time, His Majesty will definitely be displeased, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

I have to say that Mr. Zhu's analysis was quite in place, and Xuan Zhengming immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time, his mentality also had a subtle change.
