King Wen had many children in his life, including four sons and six daughters. No matter how you look at it, having many children means you will be blessed.
But Duan Jinjiang knew that in the eyes of the unkind King Wen, his other sons and daughters were just dispensable vassals.
What he really likes is Li Junze, the son of his first wife, the princess.
It was precisely because the princess died in childbirth that King Wen put all his efforts into Li Junze.
It was precisely because of Li Junze's importance that Emperor Daxing forced him to keep Li Junze in the capital.
In name, it was said that Emperor Daxing liked this nephew and wanted to stay by his side and teach him personally.
But in reality he was being held hostage.
Ordinary people can see this.
As for taking hostages, except for King Wen, no other vassal kings had such treatment.
It can be seen that Emperor Daxing was deeply afraid of King Wen.
If Li Junze was still alive, he would naturally be able to persuade King Wen to surrender.
But now that Li Junze is dead, God knows what King Wen will do.
In just a few breaths, Duan Jinjiang had already thought a lot.
"How did you die?" Duan Jinjiang asked.
King Wen said calmly: "My son is too stupid, so stupid."
"He used Zhao Xuanji as a shield, and he himself underestimated the prince."
"One hundred and twenty-six elite warriors were all personal guards sent by Jinling to protect his safety. With the cooperation of Zhao Xuanji, he was brought into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and armed with weapons to force his way into the palace."
"It would be fine if he and Zhao Xuanji won, but instead of being able to put the prince under house arrest, they were frightened to death by being alone."
"The prince forced him to reveal Zhao Xuanji's guilt. He didn't dare not tell him, but at this juncture, he was killed by Zhao Xuanji himself with a dagger."
King Wen's tone was as calm as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. In the end, he even said mockingly: "So, the prince and Zhao Xuanji are in peace, and the government is stable, but only my stupid son died.
Already."
King Wen said it simply and lightly, but Duan Jinjiang crawled out of the Shura field in the capital, so he didn't need to think about it to know how dangerous these few sentences contained.
First of all, the conflict between Zhao Xuanji, the cabinet minister, and the Crown Prince of the East Palace has completely broken out, otherwise the conflict would not have reached this level in the court.
Furthermore, Zhao Xuanji teamed up with Li Junze to forcefully break into the Palace of Supreme Harmony with weapons, intending to place the prince under house arrest.
This is no longer a question of contradiction, but has evolved into a life-and-death struggle.
But obviously, Zhao Xuanji and the others almost failed.
As for the point of failure, it is almost impossible to infer using common sense.
The prince frightened them all by himself.
If you leave it to others, they will definitely not believe it.
But Duan Jinjiang knew the prince's methods. Look at how powerful and terrifying he is now reduced from a bachelor of Dongge University to a person who hides his head and dare not show up in broad daylight.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Duan Jinjiang said softly.
"Condolences?"
King Wen chuckled lightly and said, "What's the point of regret?"
"From the day I sent him to the capital, I knew that his life and death were not under my control. I hope he can be smarter and live longer. He is still obedient and has kept a low profile for many years, but in the end
There is no way to escape this disaster.”
King Wen stared at the calm water and said indifferently: "Although I cannot decide the life or death of my son, I can decide the life or death of too many other people."
