"Is the prince dead?" Ye Qiu listened to his subordinate's report in surprise, "How did he die?"

"I heard that the second prince killed him when he forced the palace."

"He is really bold, but only by doing this can you ensure that everything is foolproof." Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed, as if he remembered the man who was standing at the gate of the city.

It’s a pity that everything he has done to her is pretending. If he hadn’t been hiding all the birds in his previous life, if he hadn’t been slaughtered by his Ye family in his previous life, as a minister, she wouldn’t sit idly by.

The prince’s fall to his current fate may not be the result of his ruthlessness and too smart calculations. He relied on the favor of the old emperor and felt that everyone could be used by him, so he never treated others sincerely. Do you really think those ministers are stupid? Why don’t you support him, the eldest son, instead of supporting the second prince or helping each other?

It was because he was too false and noble, but because the old emperor harmed him.

The father and son were afraid that Concubine Zhang would be jealous, so they usually showed a cold relationship between father and son, and they showed that the old emperor did not value him and did not like him. Over time, the ministers would naturally feel that the prince had no background, no favor, and no achievements. Sooner or later, the position of the prince would be given up.

There are probably not many ministers willing to risk extermination of the nine clans to support a prince who has no mother and no favor, and his chances of victory are too low.

Therefore, in the end, Concubine Zhang and the second prince were qualified to compete with the old emperor and the chief, and even forced themselves to suppress them.

Although the second prince killed his brother was a big mistake, the history books were compiled by successful people. If the old emperor remained unconscious, the second prince killed him on the charge of the prince's crime of murdering the emperor. As long as he ascended the throne, everything would not be a problem. It can be said that the method is simple and crude, but it is very efficient.

But the bad thing is that the old emperor woke up in time, and the prime minister successfully escaped and sent a letter to the prefecture of Dengyun Prefecture, so the second prince finally failed.

"The prince is dead, what is our Majesty's reaction?"

"I heard that the second prince, the third prince, the eldest prince and others were detained on the spot, and personally stabbed Concubine Zhang to death. Before the aristocratic family could react, the prime minister's brother-in-law directly led the troops to kill the aristocratic family. The people below came to report that the capital was bleeding that night, and many families were destroyed overnight, and even a dog did not escape."

Luo Xiao frowned and said, "Your Majesty is crazy? They are all aristocratic families. The power of the aristocratic families to unite is not less than that of the imperial power. Are you not afraid of chaos in the world?"

"Your Majesty's favorite son is dead. How can he care about so much now? Besides, most of the aristocratic families in the capital are direct descendants. Now the direct descendants are gone, and the property and power they have left behind are quite large. Do you think those side divisions will avenge the direct descendants first or fight for their own interests first?" Ye Qiu chuckled, "You may not be sure that our Majesty will go crazy this time, and it has opened up a new situation for our Darong Dynasty."

"Then general, who do you think His Majesty will make the crown prince? The second prince forced the palace and the third prince was an accomplice. It seems that no one could make the case."

"Our Majesty has more than these two sons."

"But aren't the others underage? His Majesty is getting worse and worse. If a yellow-haired child is established, how can he suppress the nobles of the aristocrats of the aristocrats? What if the second and third princes are unwilling to make a comeback?"

Ye Qiu's smile became stronger and stronger: "Isn't this still me? Do you think with the military power in my hands, can you suppress those nobles of aristocrats?"

Luo Xiao opened his eyes wide: "General, you?"

"Our Majesty probably figured it out at this time. He should have guessed that I had not planned to intervene in the throne struggle in the morning."

"But if Your Majesty knew that General, you were deliberately watching the prince fall into danger, wouldn't Your Majesty blame the general?"

"What mistake did I make? How do he blame him? Don't forget that the war was initiated by Zaha first, and I also came to the border by orders. As for the imperial edict for marriage, it was also blocked by Concubine Zhang and the others. The capital city is far away from the border mountains and roads. I don't know what happened in the capital city. Even if I know, can I get through it?"

"But sometimes an emperor wants to have a person, and there is no reason."

"I have military power in my hands. Even if I don't listen, why can he be with me? But our Majesty will not touch me at this time. His beloved son died and was killed by his other two sons. In order to avenge the prince, he will never give the second and third prince a chance to turn over. If he does not want to be a king of a country that will not only not cause me, but will also let me assist the little prince wholeheartedly."

"What should we do now?"

"Wait, wait for your Majesty's imperial edict to come."

"What if the general leaves the border and Zaha starts a war?"

"Before I leave the capital, I will deal with Zaha first. Zaha is gone. The barbarian tribe is just a mess. Luo Xiao, I will leave it to you in the future."

"The general is trusted, and a general will never refuse."

"Auntie is back, aunt is back." Ye Qiu returned home from the army and greeted two small cannonballs as soon as he entered the door.

"Little ancestor, please slow down." She bent down and picked up her niece and touched her back. "Why are you wearing so little? Isn't it cold?"

"Why is she so cold? She is watching his brother practice martial arts and insists on learning with her. She is so hot." The second sister-in-law Lin Jiao took her daughter from her sister-in-law and shook her head helplessly. She thought she was a petite little girl, but she just wanted her to grow up with spoiledness. She didn't expect that she had to practice martial arts and said that she would be a general like her aunt.

There is only one girl in the family. Sometimes Lin Jiao is unwilling to blame her too hard, so she just wants to practice martial arts. With her aunt protecting her, there will never be any trouble in the future.

"Aunt, Master said I have grown a lot recently. Do you want to try my skills?" The little boy is almost as tall as Ye Qiu, because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His bright eyes are full of eagerness to try.

"Okay, after dinner, we will go to the martial arts practice ground."

When Ye Mu heard his aunt agree to give him advice, he was so excited that he no longer had the usual steady appearance.

Mei Wanwan smiled and said, "These two children in our family only have aunts, that is, me and my brother and sister. They will be angry to death if they are left alone."

"Where is this, it's said that the distance is fragrant and smelly. My sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are with two juniors every day. I often stay in the military camp. After finally coming back once, they naturally have to be more excited."

Of course Mei Wanwan would not be angry about this. Recently, there have been some rumors at the border. She pulled Ye Qiu and asked, "When you come back at this time, is there something wrong in the court?"
