Chapter 240 Called back to Beijing
The emperor didn't respond for a long time after hearing what the eldest prince said, the eldest prince didn't dare to do anything else, and still crouched and knelt in the hall as before.Luo Xun still knelt there straight as before and watched the eldest prince play with cold eyes, but the moment the emperor's probing eyes turned into explanations, he knew that the emperor must listen to what the elder prince said. went in.

"Forget it, get up. It's just that I want you to keep a secret about today's matter, and you must not spread a word."

"My son understands that this matter is of great importance. My son does not ask my father to forgive my fifth brother. My son understands that everything is my fifth brother's fault."

When the eldest prince finished saying this sentence, the emperor's already somewhat relieved face showed hesitation for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything and just sent the prince to send the eldest prince out.

Although the eldest prince was relieved after leaving the Chongyun Palace, he still had no intention of forgiving him in terms of the emperor's attitude towards him. Otherwise, according to the emperor's previous temperament, he should have left himself to discuss this matter together.After all, there are not many princes who can be used right now. Prince Yu had an accident just now. At this time, the emperor will definitely not trust him. Eleven is just a child who has just grown up, and it can't be a big deal.

But soon the eldest prince was relieved, it's good if he doesn't drip all over his body at this time, so that he will not be involved in such a criticized matter in the future, and it will also affect his reputation for great achievements in the future.

However, the emperor's original reassurance towards the eldest prince changed his mind after the elder prince's seemingly pleading words for the fifth prince.The first prince's words were obviously concerned with the friendship between father and son and brother, but as the son of heaven, he had not punished the fifth prince, but the first prince hinted that everything he did was the fifth prince's own fault.This is undoubtedly paving the way for the emperor to kill the fifth prince.

The emperor should not only control his own political power, but also hope that the country and the people can live in peace, and at the same time, he also hopes that after his death, he will be immortal and be praised by the world as a wise king through the ages.But in history, there is an ancient emperor whose son killed his father, and the father killed his son. It can be seen that the eldest prince has bad intentions.

"Your Majesty, what I have investigated will definitely not go wrong, plus the letter from the First Prince, the Emperor must believe what I said is true."

"In your opinion, how likely is it that Dong Qi just got married with us to help him achieve success?"

"Yi Chenzhi sees that even if Dong Qi wants to help, he will definitely not blatantly send troops in the name of Dong Qi. After all, such a thing is full of variables. If the fifth prince's actions fail, Dong Qi will not be in the hands of the emperor. , so I think that since it is a secret support, the number must not be too much, probably no more than five thousand."

"If the troops on the fief get the support of Dong Qi, what will be the success rate of the rebellion that he secretly planned these years?" The emperor had to carefully calculate his chances of winning, even if All the troops are in his own hands, but sending soldiers talismans will not be able to quench the near thirst. I am afraid that the palace will have already been taken by the time the soldiers arrive at the city.

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon to speak frankly, if the Fifth Prince raises troops rashly at this time when we have no defenses, I am afraid that with the strength of the Heyuan City garrison, the imperial guards and the Qilin Army, there is only a [-]% chance of winning."

A [-]% chance of winning is not a small number in an ordinary war, but if it is placed in the imperial city, it is a loser.There are people everywhere in the imperial city, if the people panic and riot when soldiers approach the city, it will be impossible to guard against.

Even if Luo Xun didn't tell the truth, as the emperor, he would be able to see this clearly, so the most important thing right now is to trick the fifth prince into Beijing to wait for an opportunity to arrest him. Take it, after all, the prince of the fief is not allowed to bring troops into Beijing.

"I passed on my order to call the Fifth Prince back to Beijing, and said that I was not feeling well, so I called him back to Beijing."

"Should we mobilize the other troops of the emperor in advance?"

The emperor is also considering this matter, if he mobilizes troops in advance, the fifth prince must have noticed something on the way back to Beijing, and once he realizes that the rescue troops have not arrived, he will startle the snake.If the fifth prince can be lured back to Beijing first, and then he can be taken down by his unpreparedness, the chances of winning are not too small with the strength of the troops near the imperial city.

"No, you can't scare the snake now, and I also want to give him another chance and see how he chooses."

"The minister took orders, where are Prince Yu and Prince Gongsu?"

"The fewer people who know about such a major event, the better, so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil."

"The minister understands, the minister will arrange it now."

After Luo Xun left, the emperor sat alone in the Chongyun Palace, as if there had been a lot of vicissitudes all of a sudden, he was no stranger to the matter of the princes competing for the heir, but now that the father and son killed each other, how could he be at peace.

The emperor's imperial edict to summon the fifth prince to return to Beijing arrived at the fief of the fifth prince within two days, and the fifth prince knelt in front of everyone to receive the imperial edict with the same expression.But after returning to his place, his face sank.

"Master, it may not be that simple for the emperor to pass on the master to the capital at this time."

"Go and inquire about the recent changes in the capital. In addition, I asked the two gentlemen to come over and say that the king has something to discuss with them."

The two gentlemen mentioned by the fifth prince were the two aides of the Zong family of the Chu family. After they got the news, they immediately came from the other courtyard to the prince's study to discuss matters together.Those who inquired about the news also came back and replied that there was no change in Beijing, but the emperor recently promoted Prince Gongsu but released Prince Yu's military power, but such news is not bad news for the fifth prince.

In the past, when Prince Yu was able to lead troops to fight, Lord Gongsu was still a useless person who could only fight crickets, but now the emperor may be afraid of Prince Yu's power to make such a move.If his opponent is Prince Yu, it will be really difficult, but if it is Prince Gongsu, then there is nothing to worry about.

But the two staff members of the Chu family obviously didn't think so, so they tried to persuade them.Although the Fifth Prince could listen to the opinions of the two on weekdays and was willing to humbly accept them, but now that he feels that the throne is about to be taken by surprise, he is a little more arrogant and less fearful.

The people of the Chu family were always smart. Seeing the prince like this, they knew that the prince would not listen to those unfavorable words in their ears, so they stopped talking and just analyzed the current situation with one glance.

The three counselors went to the capital according to the emperor's imperial decree, but the emperor would definitely make some moves when they arrived in Beijing, so everything had to be prepared before entering the imperial city.The so-called success or failure depends on one stroke, and this is also the time when the Fifth Prince's momentum is at its highest, as if the throne has already waved to him.

"I'm waiting to wish the prince his wish to be fulfilled as soon as possible."

"If that time comes, this king will naturally not treat you badly, and everyone will be enshrined as princes and ministers of honor and wealth." The fifth prince has nothing to hide at this time, and he has already begun to imagine what it will be like when he becomes a king.
