The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 504 The King of Han actually underestimated the Emperor
The King of Chu returned to the capital from the north but has not yet returned. The ministers who supported the King of Chu could not help but worry, fearing that something unexpected might happen to the King of Chu on his way back to the capital. A few years ago, the King of Chu went to Pengcheng to investigate a copper theft case. On the way, he was hunted down by the deposed prince and others many times. If King Chu hadn't been so smart, he might have been killed by the deposed prince and others.

Although the King of Chu was ordered to go to the north to provide disaster relief this time, King Dai and King Han were in the north, especially King Dai. If King Dai sent someone to assassinate King Chu on his way back to the capital, then King Chu would be in a very dangerous situation.

During these days, there was no news about King Chu, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Seeing that the day when King Chu arrived in the capital was getting closer, there was still no news about King Chu, which made the ministers who supported him not worried.

After calculating the distance traveled by King Chu, he should arrive in the capital within these two days, but King Chu did not come back.

The ministers of the King of Chu's party were very anxious and worried, and hurriedly went to Li Pushe to inquire about the news.

Li Pushe also had no news about the King of Chu. He comforted the ministers and said: "If there is no news about the King of Chu, it is good news, just like when he returned to Beijing safely from Jiangnan."

"Pu She, did the prince get assassinated again when he returned to the capital this time?" A certain minister said with a worried look on his face, "Did someone on behalf of the king send someone to assassinate the prince?"

"The prince is in the north. He will definitely not let the prince return to Beijing safely. He must have sent people to hunt down the prince."

"Pushe, didn't the prince send you any news?"

"The prince said before he left that any news without him is good news. He also said that no matter what news comes back to him, especially the news of his death, don't believe it. Let us not get into trouble." Li Pushe also felt in his heart. He was concerned about his grandson's safety, but he believed that his grandson could return to the capital safely. "The prince arranged everything before he went to the north, so don't be anxious and wait patiently for the prince to come back."

"Your Majesty is blessed with good fortune and will definitely come back safely."

"Last time, the prince was hunted down by the deposed prince and others in Jiangnan. The deposed prince and others said that the prince was dead, but the prince did not come back safely in the end, and he also brought back evidence that the deposed prince stole copper and forged weapons." A certain minister He firmly believes that King Chu will be able to turn disaster into good fortune and come back this time, because he feels that King Chu is destined to return. "This time, the prince will still be able to come back smoothly. Let's wait patiently for the prince to return."

"Although there is no news about the prince this time, there is no news about the prince being assassinated. I think the prince is fine now."

Li Pushe continued to reassure the ministers: "Let's not get into trouble and wait quietly for the prince to come back."

After listening to Li Pushe's words, the ministers felt a lot more at ease.

After the ministers left, Li Pushe's calm and calm expression immediately changed and became full of sorrow.

"Yi'er, you must come back safely this time."

The King of Chu, who was worried about Li Pushe and his ministers, was rushing to the capital in a hurry. He had learned that all his followers had been killed by soldiers sent out by the King of Han, and the King of Han had confirmed that he was dead. Fortunately, the person pretending to be him escaped.

King Han confirmed that after his death, he would continue to secretly collude with the third princess. If you investigate them at this time, you should be able to find evidence that they are working together. Unfortunately, he is on his way back to Beijing and cannot send anyone to continue investigating the matter. When he returns to the capital and King Han learns that he is not dead, he will immediately end his collusion with the third princess. When the time comes, he will investigate again, but nothing will be found.

King Chu felt that he could not miss such a good investigation opportunity. In the evening, after they settled in a guest house, the King of Chu went to find the leader of the caravan.

Although the leader of the caravan is not Liang Run, he is also a member of the Liang family. Because Liang Run had important matters to stay in Wusun, he could not escape and send King Chu back to the capital. For safety reasons, he specially sent Liang Chun to escort the caravan and the King of Chu back to Beijing.

"Your Highness, if you have any orders, just give them."

King Chu said straight to the point: "I want my tenth brother to send someone to investigate King Han and the third princess. This is the best time to investigate them."

"Your Highness, don't worry, our people have already gone to investigate."

"Have you sent someone to investigate?" King Chu asked with a surprised look on his face, "Did the tenth brother arrange it?"

"My second brother stayed in Wusun to investigate King Han and the third princess." Liang Chun added, "His Highness ordered my second brother to do this. His Highness said that after King Han learned that you were assassinated, he would definitely continue to follow the three princesses. The princess is colluding, and this is the best time to investigate them. "

After hearing this, King Chu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that the tenth brother and I would think of the same thing, so I'm relieved." The tenth brother sent people to investigate, and they will definitely find out something.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured. When my second brother and the others find the evidence, they will definitely deliver it to your house."

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

"Your Highness, you are serious."

King Chu chatted with Liang Chun for a while before returning to his room.

If the husband knew that he asked his tenth brother to send someone to investigate the collusion between King Han and the third princess, I'm afraid he would have to talk to him again.

Speaking of Yang Ling, he was also on his way back to Beijing at the moment. He was sent away early by the fake King of Chu, allowing him to escape. He was also arranged to follow the Liang family's caravan back to Beijing.

When Yang Ling learned that the fake King of Chu and his party were killed, all of them were dead, and their bodies were destroyed, no trace of them was left. Naturally, he felt angry, sad, and at the same time lucky. If His Highness the King of Han had not arranged all this in advance, both he and His Highness the King of Chu would have died.

Through this incident, Yang Ling no longer doubted Zhao Yao. He finally believed what the King of Chu said, and His Highness the King of Han would never harm His Highness the King of Chu.

"Little brother, how is my young master now?" Yang Ling was dressed as a white-haired old man. "Sir, don't worry, your young master is doing very well. In a few days, you and your young master will be reunited."

Knowing that everything was well with King Chu, Yang Ling felt relieved.

"That's good, that's good." This time it was really thanks to His Highness the King of Han. His Highness the King of Han truly has a deep brotherly love for His Highness the King of Chu.

Cousin, cousin, are you and King Han very happy to have concluded that His Royal Highness King Chu is dead? After some time, you and King Han will no longer be able to laugh.

After Yang Qi and King Han confirmed that King Chu was really dead, they no longer cared about King Chu's affairs. At this time, they were busy dealing with King Dai. They had previously lured King Dai, but King Dai did not take the bait.

"The King of Dai is so shameless, why not kill him directly." King Han felt that killing a King of Chu was also killing, so it was better to kill another King of Chu, so that King Dai could not return to the capital.

Seeing that King Han really wanted to kill King Dai, Yang Qi hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Highness, you can't do it."

"What can't be done?" King Han didn't take it seriously, "Isn't it easy to kill him?"

"Your Highness, it is indeed easy to kill Dai Wang, but have you ever thought about the consequences of killing Dai Wang?"

"What consequences could there be?"

"Your Highness, don't underestimate the court, let alone the emperor." Yang Qi felt that King Han didn't take the court seriously. "The King of Chu is dead, and another king dies. Do you think the emperor will be indifferent? Those in the court Neither the people nor the emperor are fools. They will never think that the death of King Chu and King Dai is an accident. You will be the first to be suspected. At that time, the emperor will order a thorough investigation into the matter. "

"Even if my father ordered a thorough investigation into this matter, nothing would be found." King Han said very firmly.

"Your Highness, do you really think that the court can't find anything?" Yang Qi asked again, "Your Highness, do you really think that what we did was flawless and there was no trace of anything? Even the King of Chu could find out about us and the third princess Do you think the court can’t find out about the cooperation? Do you think the court is just a show-off and the emperor is a fatuous and incompetent king?”

Faced with Yang Qi's repeated questions, King Han was speechless for a moment.

"Your Highness, you can look down on the ministers of the imperial court, but you must not look down on the emperor." Yang Qi's tone suddenly became stern, "Have you forgotten those things I told you before? If you forget, Have you also forgotten the matter about the deposed prince and the former prince? Don’t you also remember the matter about the Yuan family? "

Of course, King Han had not forgotten it. His expression turned from disdainful to serious.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten the fate of those aristocratic families in Yangzhou?" Even now when he thinks of the incident with the Yangzhou aristocratic families, Yang Qi's scalp still goes numb, "Your Highness, do you think you can defeat the emperor?"

"I……"

"Your Highness, no one in this world can compete with the Emperor when it comes to playing with power." Seeing that King Han was still a little unconvinced, Yang Qi continued, "Your Highness, think about the fate of those people I just mentioned."

King Han took a deep look at Yang Qi and said after a moment: "Sir, according to what you said, can I still sit in that seat in the future?"

"Your Highness, if you don't seek death, you will definitely be able to sit on that seat. If you insist on killing Dai Wang now, then I can tell you with certainty that not only will you not be able to sit on that seat, you will also lose your life." Yang Qi This was said very rudely.

This was the first time that Yang Qi spoke to King Han so rudely. After hearing this, King Han said in a dumbfounded voice: "Sir, are you too afraid of my father?"

"Your Highness, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of the Emperor. I advise you to also fear the Emperor, otherwise you will not bear the consequences." Yang Qi said sharply, "When the news of King Chu's assassination is exposed, the Emperor will definitely be furious. We will definitely send people to the north to thoroughly investigate this matter. We can fool him by destroying the corpses and traces, but if the king is also dead, then we can’t fool him if we want. Two sons died in succession. I think the emperor will be fooled by that time. I will dig deep to find out the real culprit."

King Han frowned slightly and said nothing.

"Your Highness, don't think that the emperor won't kill you. This trick of tiger poison but not eating children will not work in front of the emperor." Yang Qi warned King Han again, "The emperor has ten sons. After the death of King Chu and King Dai, plus You have several sons."

"Sir, what you said is really rude." King Han said with a bitter smile.

"Your Highness, what I'm telling you is the truth. If King Dai dies, it will do us all harm but no good." Yang Qi continued to persuade, "On the other hand, if King Dai lives, it will be beneficial to us."

After hearing Yang Qi's sharp words, King Han put away his contempt.

"Listen to sir, let's spare the king's life for the time being."

Seeing that King Han finally listened to his words, Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Your Highness, when King Dai returns to the capital, it won't be too late for us to get rid of him."

"Everything is according to Mr.'s arrangement."

Yang Qi stopped talking about acting as king and changed the subject to talk about cooperating with the third princess. After saying that, he retreated and returned to his study.

Alas, these years of hiding made King Han more and more confident. Now, he is so overconfident that even the emperor does not take him seriously, and he actually thinks he can defeat the emperor! King Han cannot be allowed to continue like this, otherwise the consequences will be really unimaginable.
