2831. Chapter 2831 The real son who can't see the light 7
It is precisely because the seventh prince knew this clearly that he falsely begged for mercy for the prince.
When the prince heard the seventh prince's insincere plea, he glared at the seventh prince with a pair of red eyes. Just by looking at the seventh prince's eyes, Zhou Xuanqi could feel the gloating in the seventh prince's eyes.
"What's so exciting about you is that I'm no longer the prince, and it's not your turn to be the prince. You can't become the prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom!"
The prince hinted to the seventh prince with his eyes that even without him, it would not be the seventh prince's turn to take the stage. Today, the seventh prince might be happy in vain.
The prince understood very well that the seventh prince, like him, liked that position too much.
How painful it would be to know that that position is destined to be missed by you.
Faced with the prince's warnings and provocations, even if the prince just looked at him and had been hostile to the prince for so many years, the seventh prince could completely understand what the prince wanted to express.
The Seventh Prince's expression froze. Indeed, he was not destined for that position. This incident made him extremely angry.
The difference is that he knew it earlier than Zhou Xuanqi, and as the prince, Zhou Xuanqi climbed much higher than him.
It is said that the higher you climb, the harder you fall. At first, Zhou Xuanqi was proud of his status as a prince in front of him, but now Zhou Xuanqi fell hard.
When he thought of this, the seventh prince ignored the disappointment that he was no longer a contender for the throne, and put on a half-hearted smile on his face.
The ancients said it well, if you are not as good as the superior, you are more than the inferior.
No matter how depressed Zhou Xuanchu is, doesn't he still have Zhou Xuanqi to protect him?
The seventh prince felt that he had done the right thing by spending so much time investigating Zhuo Jin and even returning Zhuo Jin to Zhou Xuanqi.
If it hadn't been for his original arrangement, how could we have seen the wonderful show today.
In the entire court, except for the seventh prince's not-so-sincere plea, even the prince's faction did not dare to step forward to protect the prince at this time.
After all, stealing the treasury is such a serious crime. Those people are deeply afraid that they will be involved in this matter if they come forward. When the time comes, they will not be able to escape even if they jump into the Yellow River.
The eldest prince has lost his status as prince, but after all, he is still a prince and the emperor's son. Naturally, the emperor will not take the eldest prince's life.
They are different. If they are involved in this matter, I am afraid that not only they will die, but the official fortune of the entire family will be affected.
The Zhu family's example is right in front of us, even though it happened half a year ago, the fate of the Zhu family has actually been remembered by the officials of the prince's faction for a long time.
Facing his father-in-law's family, once the Zhu family lost the value of interest, the prince would give up immediately, let alone those of them who had nothing to do with the prince.
In short, Zhou Xuanqi's decisive and ruthless methods have already left a deep impression on his subordinates.
In the past, those ministers boarded the prince's pirate ship, and they could not get off just by asking.
But if the emperor really abolished Zhou Xuanqi's status as Crown Prince today, then they would not have to get off, and this boat going upstream would no longer exist.
Of course, the entire court, except for the seventh prince, was full of calls to depose Zhou Xuanqi as the crown prince. The crown prince was gone.
