These dozens of people outside are equivalent to the military pay investment of thousands of people.
The killings between them gradually aroused more and more fear.
Mainly because some people choose to flee after killing and then become robbers.
It is natural for a fleeing soldier to become a bandit.
Secondly, some people, after a victory, came back to vent their anger and killed and robbed nearby residents to relieve the pressure of killing and being killed.
This was very common in ancient times.
Under Wen Rensheng's gaze, the world began to slowly transform.
It is gradually changing from an ordinary detective to the ancient world, and is gradually becoming mysterious, strange and extraordinary.
Just like "Detective Di Renjie" he had watched before.
There were never any weird cases, but all kinds of weird things really happened.
For example, there is a bloody eagle case in Detective Di Renjie.
At that time, even Li Yuanfang almost thought it was true.
And now this ancient detective world is developing towards the extraordinary.
Finally one day, the situation began to develop into a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change.
After three months of this high-intensity hunting of each other, the eldest prince and the second prince were exhausted.
The so-called exhaustion certainly does not mean that they are tired themselves.
In fact, there is not enough money.
Both parties spent money like water.
Bounties, pensions, equipment repairs, and weapon purchases after each battle.
Real combat is not a game.
The knife will curl and the armor will be broken.
Maintenance expenses are a huge sum of money.
This resulted in the two princes having to live frugally.
Of course, their savings are just to stop those extravagant consumptions.
But it’s not bad to be able to do this.
This is the benefit of competition.
No matter how bad the competition is, it is better than no competition.
They can no longer afford to recruit and train elites, so they can only recruit some cannon fodder.
The equipment has also changed from triple armor to double armor, one heavy armor, and even paper armor, cotton armor...
Armor is very annoying, heavy, stuffy, and hot.
Therefore, wars are often launched in autumn and winter.
A big factor is to accommodate the armor.
Of course, there are also slack seasons and so on.
Wearing armor in the summer, you will suffer from heat stroke after marching for half an hour.
This war was very terrible.
The short and intense battle caused the two major forces to lose a lot of savings.
When the cannon fired, thousands of taels of gold were gone.
Especially in feudal society, productivity was too poor and there was no vigorous industrialization. War could not stimulate production, but would only weaken it.
Because it consumes a lot of food and labor.
…………
this day.
After the third prince saw the relevant information, he couldn't help laughing in his study:
"It's a good fight."
"No matter how resourceful you are and how many counselors you have, how could you imagine that I am controlling everything behind your back?"
Just when he was proud, suddenly, there was a cry of murder outside the window.
"No, there's an assassin!"
"Notify the Praetorian Guards!"
"This is the third prince's residence, you are rebelling!"
However, the next moment, there was a group of masked killers in black, each one calmly, taking advantage of the night to kill him.
The third prince was shocked when he saw this.
He dragged his fat body to press the secret door.
However, the secret passage was opened, but his actions were too slow.
Can't run at all.
"How can it be?"
"Why did they come to kill me?"
"I obviously don't pose any threat."
"Aren't they afraid of Father's wrath?"
Wen Rensheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
This stupid time traveler, doesn’t he know that if all the impossibilities are removed, what is left is the truth?
The other two princes are not fools either. After thinking about it over and over, they can definitely figure out that the fisherman will benefit from the fight between the snipe and the clam.
The Third Prince seems impossible, but now he is the most likely mastermind.
In other words, the two must collectively eliminate third-party forces before the final battle.
Historically, when three parties fought, one party would be destroyed first, and then the two would fight in the end.
No one wants to have the two of them fight to the death and benefit a third party.
It is difficult for other members of the clan to do the same thing.
Because the dynasty's succession system is now very complete.
Those vassal kings outside the capital had no power at all.
A local official and some government officials can arrest all the princes.
Because the feudal king has lost his independent guard.
The feudal king's own bodyguards had long been reduced.
Those responsible for protecting the feudal lord were all local soldiers.
No matter how powerful the vassal kings are, they cannot escape from the sky.
At this moment.
The third prince was about to be killed.
At this time, he pressed another switch.
Five dead men appeared from behind a wall.
Wearing heavy armor, they directly faced the men in black who came in.
Then they used the narrow passage to block the man in black.
The third prince then began to run away holding his magic brush and the scroll he had just drawn.
At the same time, he also set a fire in the study.
Flames rose and smoke filled the air.
The third prince fled to the secret passage.
The pictures he had painted before were all burned in the fire.
As for why they didn't burn them all but took away one piece, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, maybe the other party wanted the latest case to continue to ferment.
Thus turning those small cases into big cases.
Then, the third prince immediately hid in an underground cave through a secret passage and escaped with his life.
However, this time, the secret power accumulated by the Third Prince was almost wiped out.
It can be said that he no longer has the ability to set off a similar change in the Xuanwu Sect like Li Erfeng. Of course, after they killed the third prince's power, they later discovered that there were not many dead soldiers in the third prince's mansion, nor were there many masters in reserve.
Because the third prince wanted to use the case to eliminate two families, he naturally would not reserve too many dead men to make himself easily exposed.
After the emperor got the news, Long Yan was furious.
He fiercely called the eldest prince and the second prince to the front, picked up the whip, and whipped them himself!
At the same time, their royal titles were removed, turning them from princes into county kings.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And he scolded them in public: "You don't know how to treat brothers and sisters with respect!"
"He can't even tolerate a disabled brother!"
"If you are allowed to ascend the throne in the future, whether you are uncle or brother, you will all die."
At this time, the third prince wrote another letter saying:
"This matter has nothing to do with my two brothers."
"This should be what Jianghu Caowang did."
"This is some gangsters who want to instigate internal fighting in their royal family and are behind it."
The emperor was very pleased when he saw this.
An idea suddenly came into his mind.
Now passing the position to one of the two healthy sons will inevitably lead to the death of the other two sons.
Now they can only be saved by passing it on to the crippled third child.
Because the third child has a better temper.
Be more tolerant of others.
Some people may say, is the emperor a fool?
Can't you even see this situation?
But that's how history is.
This is how Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to power.
His talents are limited, and his writing ability and intelligence are not as good as those of his eldest brother, Prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke.
It just so happened that he succeeded in taking over.
It relies on the word filial piety, and it relies on the so-called tolerance.
In fact, he was not tolerant after he came to power.
He forced several of his brothers to death.
And this guy's seemingly wise operation eventually led to Wu Zetian's rise to power.
This is also the number one idiot in history...
He obviously had great power, and the Li family was so powerful in the court. However, he was worried that the clan would seize power, so he let his daughter-in-law take power on his behalf.
The final result was that his descendants of the Li family were almost slaughtered.
You know, this is the heyday of a dynasty.
The royal family was actually killed like this by people with foreign surnames.
Even in the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Jin Dynasty, one's own people killed their own people.
And Li Zhi elicits a really good joke.
Even though he was still in the prosperous period of his dynasty, he was usurped by someone with a foreign surname.
If a dog is tied to the throne, it will not be like this.
That's why later generations will evolve into the Xujun system.
And now, the emperor also chose to secretly appoint a disabled person as his crown prince.
Although disabled, the third prince still has four sons.
This was the reason why the emperor finally decided to pass the throne to his disabled son.
As long as the grandson is normal.
The son is just an overachiever.
In comparison, the sons of the other two princes were not very successful.
At the same time, he also ordered to find various medicines to treat lameness for the third prince.
Medications to treat eyes.
The problem with the eyes is actually not that big.
Because it was far away, no one could see clearly when hosting the ceremony.
No one dared to look directly at the emperor.
But it won't work if you are lame. You can tell whether you are lame or not.
So the current problem is lameness, which must be properly managed.
In fact, in Wen Rensheng's opinion, the third prince had reached the final critical moment.
The third prince pretended for decades and finally survived to the last moment under the cover of a cripple.
Similarly, the eldest prince and the second prince also vaguely heard the news of the emperor's succession.
They also realize that the critical moment is coming.
They began to gather their last remaining forces.
And they are all their most favored people and their most elite troops.
Whether they can successfully fight depends on the strength at their hands.
In comparison, the royal centralized system in this world is not perfect enough.
It is still not possible to centralize power to the extreme like the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the modern world, and to ensure that the succession of the throne follows the emperor's will.
At this time, the third prince also began to work hard on painting.
He is trying to get a higher power.
The succession of the emperor is the most concerning thing and one of the biggest events in the world.
Second only to the demise of the dynasty.
The third prince wants to slowly lead the whole world to the world of high magic.
In this way, he can not only sit in the position of emperor, but also become an immortal.
What he wants to do is become the Immortal Emperor!
Therefore, whether he is lame, blind, or obese, all the diseases that plague mortals are not considered at all in his eyes.
Just Wen Rensheng shook his head when he saw this.
Because this guy is still guilty of being impatient.
Everything I did before was fine.
But now, he has become impatient.
The other party did not think about the potential of plug-ins, but just used the stereotype that plug-ins can continue to grow.
This may also be because the old emperor is leaving soon.
I am over 70 years old, and I may leave at any time and at any time.
Therefore, he had to use a lot of picture scroll plug-ins to stimulate the conflict between the eldest prince and the second prince.
The third prince got the scroll when he was 18 years old.
That is to say fifteen years ago.
Before that, the third prince was only disabled, but he was not fat and was even very healthy.
At that time, the third prince didn't even have the ambition to be an emperor, he just wanted to be a peaceful prince.
The eldest prince and the second prince, at that time, had no doubts about him at all.
There are no such messy things between them.
Wen Rensheng saw these experiences.
I couldn't help but shake my head.
As expected, there is strength in success and strength in failure.
Power brought ambition to the third prince, but it also brought destruction.
Originally, he could have peacefully been a vassal king who enjoyed poetry, singing and dancing.
You can stay in peace for the rest of your life.
You can even give it a try and your own children will succeed you.
Because Wen Rensheng noticed that the children of the eldest prince and the second prince were very weak and would not live long.
It can be said that the third prince's child has a high chance of becoming emperor.
And now, because of the picture scroll plug-in, he took the initiative to join this fight.
And this kind of fighting will bring him a fatal threat.
In order to prevent others from finding out that he was the culprit, the third prince had added many conditions when designing the case.
So no one thought for a moment that it was him who was causing trouble.
Now, there are more and more cases involving the eldest prince and the second prince, but they don't care anymore.
At this time, after the third prince was secretly assigned his position, he himself was taken into the palace by the old emperor.
In a heavily guarded place in the palace, the third prince lived.
The people who protect him are the palace guards.
The imperial guards in the palace are very elite, they are all transferred from the border army, and all of them are clean.
All have complete families.
Parents, wives, children.
They took turns acting as guards.
It is on duty for 4 months every year and is divided into 3 shifts.
Their work is quite leisurely, but their tasks are very serious.
When nothing happens, it's like a holiday. Once something happens, it's a battlefield of life and death.
The struggle between the eldest prince and the second prince became increasingly fierce.
Of course, they knew about the third prince entering the palace, and they immediately wanted to send someone to assassinate the third prince to see if they could end his life.
As a result, the assassination failed as expected.
The fight continues.
However, these matters have little to do with the third prince, because the third prince has already entered the palace.
He now has the upper hand.
Once the old emperor was seriously ill, he would go to the water tower first to get the moon.
He will become the next emperor.
And this day, the time to really change the situation has arrived.
That means the emperor suddenly passed away!
"The Emperor has passed away!"
"Your Majesty, please do so!"
After the emperor dies, he will be called the "Emperor of Daxing" for a period of time.
The title given to the emperor after his death and before his posthumous title was established.
This refers to the honorific title given to the emperor after his death.
But at this moment, the eldest prince and the second prince immediately showed their plans.
They sent people to attack the palace.
However, the palace guards began to move out, and they blocked the eldest prince and the second prince's people.
It's just that the guards are also human beings.
Several imperial guard generals have long been won over.
