Lady forced to seek prince

Xiao Min listened to the Grand Master's words, but before he could understand everything, the servant beside him had already understood the meaning of the Grand Master's words. His hand shook and he accidentally dropped the memorial he was holding on the ground.

The chamberlain hurriedly picked it up, feeling cold in his heart. They really didn't expect this. If it was all an act, how long would it take for the Wuwei Army to lead the Prime Minister's army to break into the capital? Perhaps the imperial court had no time to mobilize troops and generals.

The chamberlain was afraid that the Grand Master would notice the clues, so he tried to behave as naturally as possible. He placed the memorial on the table and stepped aside in a polite manner.

At this time, Xiao Min also frowned: "I don't think brother will be like this. If brother wants the throne, he should take action when my father passes away. At that time, brother holds the undismantled treasure in his hand." Wouldn't it be easier to divide the armed guards?"

"When I inherit the throne, the person guarding the palace will be my brother."

"At this time, that time," the Grand Master sighed, "At that time, King Yu didn't know that he was the son of the late Emperor and Queen Zhang, and that he was the legitimate son. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have taken action long ago. After all, there must be some competition for the throne. It’s an excuse. But it’s different now. King Yu has the status of a serious prince. If it weren’t for the fact that the emperor had ascended the throne long ago, there should be an official in the court writing a letter requesting that the succession to the throne be changed to a direct heir."

The grand master's words were clear, and Xiao Min nodded. It was indeed true. No matter how he thought about it, my brother was more suitable to be the emperor of Daqi than him.

The Grand Master continued: "In fact, it is strange for the Prime Minister to leave the capital and lead troops to attack the vassal territory. This is why the civil and military officials have never been able to come up with a countermeasure."

Xiao Min said to the Grand Master: "Please clarify the reason for this."

The Grand Master said: "Your Majesty, think about it, why did King Xiang attack King Yu?"

Xiao Min thought carefully: "Seize the throne?"

The grand master shook his head: "Since you want to seize the throne, why not lead the troops and directly occupy the capital?"

Xiao Min was speechless for a moment, and then said after a while: "Maybe the Prime Minister feels that the troops in his hands are not enough to surround the capital."

"Then can we capture the King of Yu?" the Taishi asked, "It is already a crime of treason for the Prime Minister to gather troops, so why would he attack the King of Yu? Wouldn't his troops be consumed by the armed guards? What should he do then? ?Even if we defeat King Yu, all we get is the vassal land. Is the vassal land worth such a big fight by the Prime Minister?"

Xiao Min opened his mouth, unable to explain.

Imperial officials did discuss this matter in private, which is an unsolvable doubt.

Thinking about it this way, there seems to be only one answer. When King Xiang went to the northwest, he did not really want to go to war with King Yu.

Of course, everyone in the hall ignored one point. If the Grand Master intervened in this matter, the situation would be very different. The Grand Master would prevent the court from arresting the Prime Minister, and would also secretly provide troops and military supplies when the Prime Minister dealt with the vassal. .

At a critical moment, he would even endorse the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister went to the northwest to fight against thieves.

The Grand Master holds the authority and can give reasons at will.

What's more, the Prime Minister asked the Grand Master for a secret letter, which stated that the King of Yu was plotting rebellion and asked the Prime Minister to go to the northwest to fight against the thieves.

Xiao Min was obviously a little disappointed: "Actually, if you tell me, brother, I can also take the throne..."

"emperor."

The grand master interrupted Xiao Min, frightening the little emperor.

The Grand Master bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please take back those words, and don't have such thoughts again. What you are talking about is not the same thing, but the country Zuo of Da Qi."

This is what Xiao Min thinks in his heart. If Daqi Jiangshan is replaced by his brother, those problems may no longer exist and the political situation will be more stable. It’s good for everyone.

"Your Majesty may not understand," the Grand Master said solemnly, "There cannot be two emperors in the world. Even if you don't want this throne, can King Yu who ascends the throne rest assured? Aren't you afraid of those who follow you wholeheartedly? When you grow up, Launch a coup and regain the throne?" "So, those officials who support the emperor, the people the emperor relies on, and the cronies around him will definitely be eliminated. Has the emperor ever thought about it?"

Xiao Min shuddered.

The Grand Master said: "The throne is inherently cold, because only one person can sit on it. How many people have died for this, both inside and outside the palace, openly and secretly?"

A vague scene emerged in Xiao Min's mind. It was his mother, Ying Bin, vomiting blood and struggling on the ground with a distorted face.

The hairs on Xiao Min's body stood up, and then he felt a stream of heat pouring out of his body uncontrollably, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The chamberlain serving on the side noticed the clues and stepped forward to block Xiao Min behind him. He said respectfully to the Grand Master: "Your Majesty is not feeling well. The Grand Master will move outside the palace and wait."

The Grand Master did not raise his head to find out Xiao Min's situation, but immediately bowed and saluted: "Wei Chen, please leave."

After the grand master walked out of the hall, the chamberlain hurriedly ordered the palace people: "What are you still waiting for? Get hot water and clean clothes quickly."

After saying that, he was not afraid of being embarrassed. He stretched out his hands to pick up Xiao Min and walked quickly to the back hall, while comforting him: "Your Majesty, it's okay. Let's just change our clothes and no one will know."

After just one stick of incense, the emperor's body finally stopped shaking.

The chamberlain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As usual, the Emperor will be fine.

"Change your clothes!" Xiao Yu ordered, letting the servants and palace maids manipulate him.

After putting on the dragon robe again, everything became clean and tidy, and the palace people had all left, Xiao Min looked at the chamberlain: "Did you hear what the Grand Master said?"

Aunt Meng tried every means to send the chamberlain to him. Like Aunt Meng, he was a person who served the emperor wholeheartedly.

Chamberlain Cao said in a low voice: "Listen, slave...it makes some sense."

The Grand Master's words frightened Xiao Min, and reminded the emperor's cronies that once you bet on the wrong treasure, you will definitely not end well in the future.

Before speaking, the Grand Master had already figured out all of this. How could people like Aunt Meng and Cao's servants have the same vision as the Grand Master?

Seeing that Xiao Min didn't say anything, Cao's servant said: "I'm not questioning Prince Yu, I just think that we are not prepared enough and we need to make more plans."

Xiao Min was silent for a long time before saying: "Servant Cao, don't you and Aunt Meng also want me to give the throne to my brother?"

Chamberlain Cao was startled and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, we must not mention this matter again."

"Why can't you mention it?" The emperor looked down at Cao's chamberlain, "King Yu is my elder brother, and this throne should have been given to him."

Cao's servant said: "The emperor inherited the throne under the decree of the late emperor himself, and the succession ceremony was held with the support of civil and military officials. Even if King Yu regains his identity, the emperor is the emperor and the ministers are ministers. How can he do it?" Disturbing Gangchang? Daqi officials will not agree."

"Since ancient times, emperors have made serious mistakes when they abdicate. The ministers and assistant officials around them will all be held accountable. The grand master is right. There is no way for slaves and others to survive. I am not afraid of death, I am more worried. It’s the emperor’s safety. Concubine Ying made a mistake in the past. She has no sharp weapon in her hand, only the chance of being slaughtered.”

Xiao Min murmured: "Can't we not kill people? I don't want anything to happen to you, and I don't want to attack my brother. I haven't even met my brother properly."

"I like the books my brother sent me and his letters."
