Several of them have been guessing who their father will pass the throne to. Over the years, although they have been fighting secretly, they have never guessed their father's thoughts. However, his father has always disliked the emperor's eldest grandson. Every time they meet
The emperor's eldest grandson always spoke lukewarmly and never cared about him. How could he cross them and choose the emperor's eldest grandson as the heir apparent?
As a result, the expressions of the several princes were not very good. From the second to the fifth, they all looked at the eldest prince. Because the emperor was the eldest grandson, only the eldest prince would stay in the capital. The eyes of the brothers naturally turned to
Got him.
"Why don't you say anything?" After the imperial edict was read out, no one accepted the edict and thanked him because they were too shocked. The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang looked at his son with sharp eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The ministers did not dare to interrupt. In fact, they could not interrupt. This was His Majesty's own choice. If they said the wrong thing at this time and angered His Majesty, His Majesty would definitely kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Therefore, the ministers kept their heads down.
, standing on both sides.
The princes heard the cold voice of the Northern Emperor and hurriedly knelt down to accept the order and thank him.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang nodded slightly, and then said, "I am a little tired today, so I will withdraw from the court."
Eunuch Hong helped the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang down to the court. Before leaving, he gave the eldest prince a meaningful look. The eldest prince's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his father saw his lie?
He got up early in the morning and prepared to go to court, but found that Fei'er was not waiting for him at the gate of the palace as usual. As a result, the people sent to look for him came back and told him that Fei'er was not in the courtyard. Moreover, it seemed that Fei'er was on the bed last night.
There are no signs of anyone sleeping on the house. This means that Fei'er did not sleep in the house last night. Either Fei'er went out last night and will go to court on his own today. Or, someone knows the contents of the imperial edict.
After that, he sent someone to take Fei'er away. As for which one he was, he didn't know. Because he was in a hurry to go to court, he just arranged for his servants to go out and look for him.
After coming down from the court, one can imagine the faces of the princes, which were even uglier than when they heard the imperial edict last night. They didn't say anything the whole way, and quickly left the palace, got on their own sedans and returned to the mansion.
Naturally, the ministers were even more afraid to speak, and they all left the palace silently. Only the eldest prince knew that he had to go to the imperial study room to inform his father about Fei'er's disappearance. Otherwise, Fei'er's disappearance would be such a big deal.
, sooner or later my father will also receive the news.
When he arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, he had originally thought of a reason to see his father. He looked up and saw Eunuch Hong walking out of the Imperial Study Room. Before he could speak, Eunuch Hong said, "Your Majesty, please come in."
The eldest prince was stunned, then nodded slightly and entered the royal study.
"Father." The eldest prince asked distractedly.
"Well, if you have anything to do, tell me." The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang didn't even raise his eyelids, he lowered his head and said to the great prince.
"Father, in fact, it's not that Fei'er feels unwell. It's just before going to court this morning that I discovered that Fei'er was not in the mansion. Fei'er is missing." The prince said honestly.
"So, you originally wanted to tell me this during the morning court today, but I don't know why you changed your mind." The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang raised his head and stared into the eyes of the great prince.
"My son didn't want too many people to know about this matter, which would make people panic. So, I thought of going to the Imperial Study Room to discuss this matter with you. I originally wanted to bring him to kowtow to you, but he said
Thank you very much for trusting me so much." The eldest prince said with something on his mind, as if he was very worried about Bei Mingfei.
"Haha, what else did he say?" A trace of tenderness flashed across the eyes of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, which made the great prince think that he had seen it wrong.
The eldest prince then said, "He also said some things that should not be said. These words were not originally what a son should say, but they were indeed what he said. He said that he really should not inherit the throne, and he was a little scared. He also said,
The throne has been left to my uncles, I shouldn't have extravagant hopes." Before he finished speaking, the eldest prince looked timidly at the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, wanting to see how the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang would react to what he said.
What confused him was that his father's face was always so gloomy. Even if he was a little dissatisfied with Fei'er, he could not see any expression on his father's face.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang put down the cup in his hand, looked at his eldest son solemnly, sighed, and then said, "I have arranged for my eldest grandson to succeed to the throne. Do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"
When the great prince heard what the Northern Emperor said, his face changed drastically. He quickly knelt down in front of the Northern Emperor and said in a frightened voice, "Father, it's too late for me to be happy. How can I be dissatisfied? I'm just a little surprised. Father will
I value Fei'er so much. However, Fei'er is still young, and the emperor's younger brothers... I can't even imagine it."
"Well, get up. Fei'er suddenly disappeared just after the imperial edict was delivered. It's indeed a bit strange. I will send people to patrol secretly. Please withdraw your people." The Northern Emperor said coldly.
"Yes." The great prince was so frightened by the Northern Xinjiang Emperor's words that he broke into a cold sweat. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then stood up.
"You should go back to your home first. Perhaps Fei'er has already gone back," said the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang.
"Yes. My son, I will withdraw now." After saying this, the great prince left the imperial study.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang's face turned a little cold, and he murmured, "Do you think my eldest son is really happy that the throne has been passed on to his own son?"
At this time, a dark figure appeared in the Northern Xinjiang Emperor, and he was heard saying coldly, "Master, there is a dark night around the emperor's eldest grandson. You don't have to worry. I don't know what the prince is really thinking, but after all, the emperor's eldest grandson
He is the legitimate son of the great prince. So..."
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang sighed and said, "You have been by my side for a long time, haven't you seen enough?"
The man in black bowed respectfully and disappeared. The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang had no choice but to shake his head, picked up the tea cup and prepared to drink tea, but found that the tea had already cooled down.
In the dark room of a certain prince's palace
"Brothers, why did our father suddenly drive us out of the capital? And why are we preparing to let that boy Fei'er succeed us?" The person who spoke was the Fifth Prince.
The third child shook his head and did not speak, but the fourth child said, "Although I don't know what my father wants to do this time, you should have received news that Pluto and Pluto, who went to Nanzhao Kingdom last night, entered the palace to attend.
We had a palace banquet. However, my father did not inform us and just entertained them alone."
"Could it be that this matter has something to do with them? It's impossible, they are not from Northern Xinjiang, and my father will not listen to them. But, does the elder brother know about this matter a long time ago?" Lao Wu said in confusion.
"Looking at today's situation, the eldest brother only found out about it when he suddenly received the imperial edict last night. However, the eldest brother's face is not very good. The eldest brother is the legitimate son, but it turns out that the one who will succeed is his own son. Haha, I think it is the saddest thing.
It should be the eldest brother." The fourth child crackled.
The third child coughed slightly and said, "Okay, this morning in court, the eldest brother said that Fei'er was sick."
"Third brother, what are your plans?" asked the fourth child.
"Second brother, this matter concerns our fate, what do you think?" The third child looked at the second prince who had not spoken.
The second prince thought for a while and said, "Since my father has made a decision, I think it is better to obey his orders. He wants to protect Fei'er and let him sit in that position without worries. Come to think of it, he is worried about us uncles
It will embarrass him. It seems that my father is determined." My father has done enough for his grandson.
"Second brother, are you just accepting your fate?" The fourth child looked at the second child in surprise and asked.
As a result, the second prince did not respond and just sat there quietly drinking tea.
The third prince's eyes flashed with light, and he didn't know what he was thinking about in his heart.
Lao Wu then said, "Since the second brother has accepted his fate, I, the fifth brother, am not qualified to fight for anything. Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, brother, I should go back." Lao Wu thought about moving his family away from the capital.
It's a big project, and I don't know when the fiefdom will be ready.
Lao Wu left the darkroom. Of course, he did not go through the door when he left, but sneaked out through the door secretly.
Afterwards, the second prince also left the darkroom. Only the third and fourth sons were left in the darkroom. The fourth prince couldn't calm down. Seeing that only the third brother was left, he hurriedly asked, "Third brother, it seems that the second brother
He and Lao Wu have given up, what should we do? Did he really follow his father's order and leave the capital? Even if he values Fei'er as his successor to the throne in the future, there is no reason to drive us away. Could it be that, except for the eldest brother, we are not him
Biological?"
"Wrong, do you think that the eldest brother doesn't resent our father in his heart? Among our five brothers, the eldest brother is the legitimate son. Logically speaking, he should have been named the prince long ago. Unfortunately, none of us can guess what our father is thinking. Father
He was so suspicious that he didn’t even trust our five sons. But he didn’t expect that he would choose his grandson over his eldest brother. What do you think of the eldest brother’s face? Even if his son becomes the future prince, he, the elder
Hasn't the prince become a joke in Northern Xinjiang?" The third child sneered and analyzed it carefully.
After listening to the analysis of the third child, the fourth child was already shocked. Thinking about it carefully, the eldest brother is indeed a coward. As a legitimate son, the father didn't care at all. He didn't even confer the crown prince, and finally gave up the throne to
The eldest brother's son. The younger brothers couldn't stand it. The eldest brother seemed to be fine. Is he really happy for his son, or is he just tolerant like the third brother said?
"Third brother, at such a sensitive time, we can't go to the palace to meet eldest brother." The fourth prince asked with a frown.
"If you want to know what eldest brother is thinking, you can visit the palace tonight and find out." The third child said with a cold smile.
The fourth prince had long been accustomed to the cold expression of the third prince, but he was still a little hesitant when the third brother suddenly said that he wanted to visit the prince's house at night.
"Don't you dare to go?" the third prince asked, seeing the hesitant expression on the fourth prince's face.
"That's not true. If we go to the palace like this, will the eldest brother have any ideas?" The fourth child still asked hesitantly.
"Only when we go can we know the true thoughts of my eldest brother." The third prince said with a raised corner of his mouth.
In fact, the two princes did not know that the emperor's eldest grandson had not been in the mansion for a long time, so they wanted to find out what happened at night. After discussing it, they went back to the mansion.
