The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The Fourth Prince and the Third Prince still have business to do. After visiting His Highness the Crown Prince, they returned to the palace.Because Zhao Yao was worried about the injury of the eighth prince, he did not go back to the palace with the fourth prince, but stayed in Hulong Temple to guard the eighth prince.

At first Zhao Yao wanted to stay, the fourth prince was not at ease, after all the prince was assassinated last night, maybe there will be a second assassination, it is too dangerous for Zhao Yao to stay in Hulong Temple.However, Zhao Yao told him that Emperor Wu of Zhou had sent people to tighten the defense of Hulong Temple, and there would be no second wave of assassins.

Seeing that Zhao Yao insisted on staying to take care of the eighth prince, the fourth prince had no choice but to agree to him.If the fourth prince didn't want to write history, he would stay with Zhao Yao.

Before leaving, the fourth prince repeatedly told Zhao Yao to pay attention to safety and not to exhaust himself by taking care of the eighth prince.

For the fourth prince, the seriously injured eighth prince was not as important as Zhao Yao.

At this time, in the eighth prince's room, Zhao Yao stood aside, watching Yu Hai feed the eighth prince medicine.

Although the Eighth Prince is unconscious, but fortunately he can still drink medicine.However, the Eighth Prince still hadn't lost his fever.

The Eighth Prince's forehead and face were extremely hot, which made Yu Hai and Zhao Yao particularly worried.The imperial doctor said that people who were seriously injured would have a fever, and the fever would last for several days.If the fever does not subside after several days, it is dangerous.

Zhao Yao remembered that when he was sick and had a fever, Liang Zhaoyi would wipe his body with warm water every once in a while to cool down.Zhao Yao told Yu Hai to also wipe the eighth prince's body with warm water.

Yu Hai wiped the Eighth Prince's body with warm water every hour, and it seemed that it really helped, the Eighth Prince's whole body seemed not as hot as before.

Because he was worried about the eighth prince, Zhao Yao didn't even have the appetite to eat the fast food at Hulong Temple.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was so worried about the Eighth Prince, Yu Hai sighed in his heart, the Eighth Prince didn't love Zhao Yao for nothing.

During the coma, the eighth prince kept frowning, his expression looked very painful.

"Mynah must be in pain." Although Zhao Yao didn't see the two wounds on the Eighth Prince's abdomen, he knew that the two wounds were very deep when he saw blood stains on the gauze bandaging his abdominal wounds.

He reached out and touched the eighth prince's frowning brow, trying to smooth it out.

"Brother, you have to wake up quickly, so that you can recover quickly." Zhao Yao gently shook the eighth prince's hand, "Brother, if you don't wake up, I don't even have the appetite to eat the delicious vegetarian food at Hulong Temple gone."

Yu Hai's eyes were red, with tears in his eyes, and he said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely wake up."

"Well, starling will definitely wake up."

At this time, the prince came in, Zhao Yao hurriedly stood up and saluted, but was stopped by the prince raising his hand.

"Tenth brother, there is no need to be so polite here."

"Yes, Brother Prince."

The prince reached out and touched Zhao Yao's small head, and said warmly: "Tenth brother, I will guard the eighth brother, you go and rest for a while."

"Brother Prince, let me guard the starling with you." Zhao Yao said obediently, "With the two of us guarding the starling, maybe the starling can wake up earlier."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, the prince's eyes softened, and he said softly, "Okay, let's guard together."

The crown prince sat beside the eighth prince's bed, and Zhao Yao lay at the end of the eighth prince's bed.The crown prince talked to the sleeping eighth prince as usual: "Father has ordered uncle and General Shen to investigate this assassination together, and there must be a result soon." Because of Zhao Yao's presence, the crown prince did not Express his doubts. "The assassins who assassinated me are dead soldiers. They are cunning, and they are somewhat like dead soldiers from the Wang family, Xun family, Yuan family, and Yu family. I don't know which family they are."

Zhao Yao lay at the end of the bed, listening to the prince quietly, without interrupting.

Who is going to assassinate the prince's brother?

Second brother?
The prince's elder brother had an accident, and the first person to be suspected was the second elder brother.The second elder brother also knew this, and would not be so stupid as to send an assassin to assassinate the elder brother of the prince.

Furthermore, if the second elder brother wanted to assassinate the elder brother of the prince, he would have started the assassination a few years ago. There is no need to wait until now, after all, the elder brother of the prince would come to Hulong Temple every year to pray for blessings.

It shouldn't be the second brother's person.

The third brother, the fifth brother, or the sixth brother?

Probably.

The Wang family, Xun family, and Yuan family behind the third brother and the others are aristocratic families second only to the Xie family.They supported the third prince and they competed for that seat. It has long been obvious, but they are temporarily unable to compete with the government of Zhenguo and Marquis of Xuanping, so they have not made any big moves.

The Wang family and the Xun family did not cause trouble because they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch the people from the prince's elder brother's party fight with the second elder brother's party.When they are fighting to the death, they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

However, it is not ruled out that the Wang family and the Xun family are secretly fanning the flames and fueling the flames, making the fight between the prince's elder brother's party and the Dai Wang's party even more intense.

The third brother will become a king next year, and there is no news about his fiefdom. There is also no news about whether the third brother will go to the fiefdom or stay in the capital when he becomes an adult.

The Wang family supports the third prince to fight for that seat, so it is impossible not to plan for him at all.Regarding the fief of the third prince, the Wang family must have taken a fancy to a place not far from the capital.The Wang family must also want to keep the third prince in Beijing.

When the prince becomes a queen as an adult, he usually goes to his own fief.Going to your own fief has both advantages and disadvantages.If it is good, returning to the fief can cultivate and strengthen one's own power.If it is bad, staying away from the capital is tantamount to staying away from the center of power.In addition, I will receive news later about what happened in the capital, and I will be later in what I want to do at that time.

The Wang family wanted the third prince to stay in the capital like the acting king.Furthermore, staying in the capital has another advantage, that is, being able to please the emperor.

Dai Wangxian is now in full swing, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is shorter than him, not to mention the Wang family.If you want to deal with Dai Wang, you can only use extraordinary means.

It is also possible that the Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family cooperated to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince and blame the Dai Wang.

Even if the acting king is favored again, assassinating the prince is a felony, and Emperor Wu of Zhou cannot favor him, so he can only be dealt with by the law of the state.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the king sent someone to assassinate him.When the crown prince was assassinated, Dai Wang was the first to be suspected. Because of this, many people would think that Dai Wang could not be so stupid.Dai Wang took advantage of this and assassinated the prince.

Zhao Yao said silently in his heart that both the second brother and the third brother might send someone to assassinate the prince brother.

Wait, there are two other people who will also send someone to assassinate the prince's brother, that is, Queen Xie and Seventh Brother.

Although Empress Xie is the younger sister of the first empress, Empress Xie is the first daughter, and the first empress is the concubine.Because of her young age, Empress Xie was already shorter than the former empress, and it was impossible for her son to be inferior to the elder brother of the prince.

As long as the elder brother of the crown prince died, the seventh brother would be the only legitimate son.According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prince must be the son of the eldest son.The elder brother of the prince is gone, and the seventh brother will be established as the crown prince immediately.

Except for the fourth brother, everyone is suspicious, and they all have motives.Whichever of them it was, it was no surprise at all.

Who on earth is it?
Zhao Yao thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who was most suspected.

Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't worry about it.

The prince was still talking to the eighth prince who was in a coma, saying that today he asked monks to pray for the eighth prince.Hearing this, Zhao Yao sighed in his heart, the elder brother of the prince is really kind to the starling.The starling is the savior of the prince's brother, and the prince's brother should be kind to the starling.

Zhao Yao listened and fell asleep at the end of the bed in a daze.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was asleep, Yu Hai asked the prince for instructions, and immediately carried Zhao Yao lightly to the next room.

Early this morning, when Zhao Yao heard that the eighth prince was seriously injured, he hurried to Hulong Temple without even taking care of breakfast.After arriving at the Hulong Temple, he stayed by the Eighth Prince's bedside without any rest.

Zhao Yao woke up hungry after not sleeping for long.He didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't eat much lunch, his stomach was already growling with hunger.

Tong Xi had already guessed that Zhao Yao would be hungry when he woke up, so he asked the kitchen of Hulong Temple to prepare some vegetarian meals for him.

After Zhao Yao woke up, he ate some perfunctorily, and then went to guard the eighth prince's bed.

I hope that the father can find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, and avenge the prince and myna.

At this time, in the imperial study room of Chengguang Hall, Emperor Wu of Zhou was listening to the report from Lord Zhen Guo and Shen Hu.

For most of the day, Duke Zhen and Chu Ying found a lot of things.They have found out the identity and origin of the assassin.However, they have no intersection with the Wang family, the Xun family, the Yuan family, and the Yu family.

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised the corners of his mouth and said with a half-smile: "So these assassins don't have any background?"

Shen Hu said: "On the surface it is like this, but I feel that these assassins are not simple. If they really don't have any background, where did their weird movements come from?"

Chu Ying followed Shen Hu's words and said: "They are obviously dead soldiers, and it is impossible for dead soldiers who have undergone strict training to have no background at all."

Duke Zhen also said: "The identities and backgrounds of these assassins should have been forged."

The identity and background of the assassin who assassinated the prince before entering the Hulong Temple was the same as that of ordinary people, which is quite normal.Obviously, their identities and origins are fake, and someone has faked everything for them.

"Is this what you found today?"

Listening to Zhou Wudi's flat tone, Shen Hu and Zhen Guogong knew that Zhou Wudi was not satisfied with their investigation.

"The emperor forgives the crime."

Emperor Wu of Zhou said solemnly: "I will give you three days, if you can't find out who is behind the scenes, I will never forgive you lightly!"

"As ordered!"

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Shen Hu and the others with disgust: "Get lost."

Shen Hu and the others didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly retreated respectfully.

After walking out of the imperial study, Shen Hu complained to Chu Ying: "I just said it, and the emperor will definitely not be happy if I tell the emperor about this. If you don't listen, you have to report to the emperor."

Chu Ying cast a sideways glance at Shen Hu, and said angrily, "We checked for a whole day, but if we didn't report a single word to the emperor, the emperor would be even more angry."

Zhen Guogong hurriedly persuaded: "The two generals are not arguing at this time, we have to think about how to investigate next."

"Does Lord Zhen have any suggestions?"

Zhao Yao: Starling, wake up quickly, I still want to have a good meal at Hulong Temple.
