Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

After hearing these words, Su Liu and Shen Luochen were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that he already had such an overall view at such a young age.

"What do you think of His Highness?" Su Liu asked impatiently.

The seventh prince smiled lightly, looked at them, and said:

"If we want to solve this problem, we must first rectify the government's agenda and eliminate corrupt officials, then reuse talents and strengthen border defense. At the same time, the government must listen more to the voices of the people and understand the sentiments of the people, so that it can have the foundation for governing the country."

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked. They did not expect that this young prince could have such profound insights.

It seems that this candidate is really the right one.

"His Royal Highness Seventh is indeed extraordinary." General Wen nodded repeatedly, "There is indeed a need for such people to rectify things inside and outside the court."

Then, he suddenly sighed again and said:

"It's a pity that the current Holy Emperor doesn't pay attention to these things. Instead, he puts his mind on other things."

After saying that, he looked deeply at the Seventh Prince and his tone was meaningful.

"I think His Highness the Seventh Prince is the truly wise choice."

These words immediately shocked the seventh prince's heart. He didn't expect that General Wen would say such treacherous words, which was a capital crime that would implicate the nine clans.

Soon, he regained his composure.

"General Wen is overrated." He shook his head, his eyes a little gloomy, "I'm just a prince, I don't have much ability."

However, everyone present knew that this was just a modest excuse, and he was probably wary of them.

A person without any ambition or ambition will not study political theory day and night, let alone care about national affairs so much.

The top priority now is to gain the trust of the seventh prince.

Shen Luochen cleared his throat and said:

"Your Highness Seventh, let's be honest today. Neither I nor General Wen want to help you for no reason."

He paused, a chill flashing in his eyes.

"We have all had a long-standing grudge with the man on the Dragon Throne. This move is not only to avenge ourselves, but also to choose a good master for Dayong. After careful consideration, we feel that His Highness is the most suitable candidate."

Su Liu was slightly surprised. She didn't expect him to tell the truth so straightforwardly, and couldn't help but sweat.

This does show sincerity, but the risk is too high.

Sure enough, the seventh prince also had a look of astonishment on his face, looking at Shen Luochen intently with twinkling eyes.

"We are determined to do this. Even if His Highness is not willing, we will recommend someone else. It just depends on whether His Highness is willing to seize this opportunity."

Shen Luochen bowed deeply and spoke sincerely.

"But, can I... really convince the public?" The seventh prince hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

General Wen felt a slight movement in his heart, guessing that he was probably still concerned about his origins.

"Your Highness, Seventh Highness, the veteran has also heard about Zhao Cairen's affairs." He said, "If Your Highness succeeds, he will certainly be able to vindicate her."

Zhao Cairen was the seventh prince's biological mother. Due to her low status, she was often bullied in the palace. In the year when the seventh prince was born, she died suddenly and strangely. This has always been a knot in the seventh prince's mind.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a look of emotion flashed in the eyes of His Highness Seventh Prince.

After a period of near silence, he finally took a deep breath and nodded as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, I can give it a try." He sighed with a firm look in his eyes, "I want to do something for the people of Dayong, and I also want to rehabilitate my mother and concubine." After saying this, all three of them showed surprise smiles on their faces.

"However, you must agree to one condition." The seventh prince added, "No matter what action you take, you must tell me in advance."

"This is natural." Shen Luochen nodded without hesitation, "If there is any news, I will ask someone to inform His Highness. Of course, if Your Highness has any doubts, you can always ask me."

After finishing speaking, the doubts in the seventh prince's eyes faded a little, and he nodded deeply.

"Okay, if you don't give up, you will never let me down."

Several people in the room looked at each other and smiled, seeing trust and determination in each other's eyes, and the atmosphere reached an unprecedented harmony.

All of this went much smoother than they expected. After convincing the Seventh Prince, the next steps fell into place.

General Wen, as a veteran of two dynasties, has extremely high prestige among generals. He has been brainwashing everyone in the past few days and attracted a group of supporters for the Seventh Prince.

Shen Luochen, on the other hand, continued to deal with King Yiyang and the fifth prince. After obtaining their information, he repeated his old tricks and continued to provoke conflicts between the second prince and the fifth prince.

Although King Yiyang approached Shen Luochen for his own purposes, he always regarded him as the son of an old friend and never raised any suspicion.

As the days passed, with the efforts of several people, the Seventh Prince gradually gained prestige, and the conflicts between the several princes also became more and more intense.

Finally, one morning, shocking news came.

"Have you heard? The fifth prince was assassinated!"

In the court hall, several ministers were whispering, and their words reached Shen Luochen's ears clearly.

Unexpectedly, the second prince was so impatient that he took action so quickly.

But he remained calm on his face, pretending to be indifferent.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and it gradually became quiet until the emperor appeared above with a gloomy face.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Upon seeing this, all the ministers saluted, and several princes also knelt down.

"No courtesy." The emperor said expressionlessly, "It's so lively, what happened?"

I saw a man who looked like a guard walking forward quickly, kneeling in the center of the hall, reporting something to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, early this morning, a masked assassin suddenly broke into the fifth prince's mansion and killed the fifth prince with a dagger. He also seriously injured the fifth prince's wife and children. Fortunately, the assassin was later killed by the guards."

Hearing this, Shen Luochen couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

But for now, we still have to stay calm and not let the second prince see any flaws.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor suddenly became furious and threw the book in his hand to the ground. "Who is so bold and dares to commit murder under my nose!"

The fifth prince was of noble birth and one of the sons he valued most. Now that something like this happened, he was naturally furious.

The ministers said nothing and did not even dare to express their anger.

"Back to the emperor, the assassin seems to be carrying a token of the second prince." The guard stepped forward and handed over a jade pendant.

The emperor took the jade pendant and examined it carefully, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Yes, it is indeed something I rewarded the second prince."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the second prince.
