The next morning, the emperor naturally could not come, so the prince became the person in charge. Li Guojiu led others to kneel on the ground.

"The country cannot live without a king for a day, so I invite His Highness the Crown Prince to come to court and supervise the country!"

The prince stood in front of the dragon chair, condescending and majestic: "My father was assassinated by thieves and fell into a coma. He was ordered to be alone in danger. He has assumed the responsibility of a country's crown prince. From today on, he will be the sole regent and overseer of the country. I hope you will do your best to help us and secure the country." thing."

When the emperor is ill, it is natural for the prince to supervise the country.

Of course, some people are dissatisfied, but with the identity of the prince, it is difficult for those who are dissatisfied to argue openly.

"Father's poisoning has nothing to do with the prince!"

Reluctantly bowing down, King Qi found Prime Minister Wang after the first court appearance. He could even be completely sure that the prince poisoned the emperor.

Whoever is the biggest beneficiary will be the most suspicious, not to mention that the prince's proud look cannot be concealed at all.

He just received the news the day before yesterday that the prince intended to rebel. A day later, his father was poisoned to make way for the prince. How could there be such a coincidence?

The only answer is: the prince is the murderer.

Since ancient times, a son who rebels against his father will inevitably be criticized. No matter how hard he works after becoming an emperor, there will still be such a disgraceful mark in the history books.

The prince is already the crown prince, one step away from the throne, and bloody fighting is obviously not suitable for him. Only if something happens to the emperor, and he takes power and ascends the throne legitimately, will there be no stigma in the future.

As for why the emperor did not die, it was definitely not because the prince cared about the relationship between father and son. Either the prince was still a little afraid and did not dare to kill his father directly, or the prince had other agendas, such as Prince Ning who was in the prison.

Prime Minister Wang was not in the mood to think about Prince Ning: "The prince hates you very much. Now that he has the power, he is afraid that he will deal with you soon, so make plans in advance."

Xia Yunye sneered: "It's only his first day in charge of the country, and he hasn't ascended the throne. We'll wait until he actually sits on the throne."

Not to mention that he was too ambitious to watch the crown prince ascend the throne, but the man in the prison could never sit back and wait for death.

"Let's see." It won't be too late for the change to occur, and the prince can't be arrogant for more than a few days.

Since the emperor's fall, the whole city of Shangjing has been filled with a suffocating atmosphere, and the storm is about to come.

Every change of power is bound to be accompanied by bloodshed.

At present, the prince's supervision of the country seems to have stabilized the situation of the government, but in fact it has just begun.

The prince had been in charge of the country for less than three days, so he rushed to report the war from eight hundred miles away. Outside the Nanzhao Chen Bing Pass, he asked the Northern Jin Dynasty to give an explanation, otherwise he would march to Beijing to avenge their princess.

There was a buzz in the court, people were really fighting, and no one wanted to start a war, so it had to be resolved, but this matter has always been controversial.

The military generals and civil officials were so quarreling that no one noticed that the prince's eyes were red with excitement.

In order to stabilize his position, the prince didn't mention Prince Ning at all these days, as if he had completely forgotten about him, but he didn't know that he had been waiting for today.

He wanted to use Nan Zhao's help to completely eliminate Prince Ning.

He knew very well what kind of life Prince Ning had spent in Nan Zhao. If he didn't stay well in Nan Zhao and insisted on coming back to do everything against him, then he would send Prince Ning back to that hell this time.

Uncle Li Guo stood up and advocated that King Ning escort the body of Princess Nan Zhao to the border and explain the matter to Nan Zhao.

It sounds grandiose, but in fact it is asking Prince Ning to die.

However, now that the prince is in power, many officials have been incited to rebel in the past two days. Even if they are still unwilling to do so, they dare not protest too loudly, otherwise it will be over if the prince ascends the throne and a liquidation begins.

There are many virtuous men among the military generals, but the military officers can't quarrel with the civilian officials, not to mention that the Li family now has one hand to cover the sky. In the end, they can only watch this matter being finalized.

Two days later, the Minister of Military Affairs (brother of Princess Zhaohe's consort) and the Minister of Rites (Jiang Chongwen) followed King Ning to escort the bodies of Princess Nanzhao and others to the border. The Yang family and the Jiang family are both the most valued families under the Li family and are valued by the prince.

Not to mention the Yang family, but the Jiang family alone, the prince promised that as long as Jiang Chongwen would complete this matter, when the prince ascended the throne, Mr. Jiang would be allowed to become an official, and he would inherit the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Jiang Chongwen, who was still worried at first, took this reassurance and instantly became radiant and full of ambition.

Not only did she stay awake during her busy schedule, but she also sent someone to keep an eye on Jiang Ying to prevent her from running off to see off Prince Ning.

Now is the time for the Jiang family to express their loyalty to the prince, and they must not have anything to do with Prince Ning anymore.

On the third day, an urgent team of envoys set off. The team was very spectacular. There were ten vehicles specially used to carry coffins. If some unimportant ones were not burned to ashes, it would be even more exaggerated now.

Prince Ning was riding on horseback. Although he was not really put in the prison car like a prisoner, Prince Ning still had shackles on his hands and left as if he was guilty.

There had been a lot of discussion before, but now seeing Prince Ning being sent to Nanzhao, many people still felt very uncomfortable.

I felt wronged for King Ning and embarrassed for the court.

Although Prince Ning is known as the Living King of Hell, the evidence of his crimes is solid. The people he confiscated and exterminated were all corrupt officials whose corpses were in vain. They looked hypocritical on the surface, but secretly committed all kinds of evil and harmed the people.

To officials, Prince Ning was a living king of hell, but in the eyes of the people, he was a rare master of the sky.

Now such a good person has to be sent to Nanzhao again to suffer. However, the Li family, which has done all bad things, supports the prince and is about to dominate the world.

God is so unfair.

Jiang family

"Wow."

The cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Everyone looked up and Sun Sumiang apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention for a moment."

She knelt down to pick it up, but as soon as she held it in her hand, blood started to flow.

Her face changed with a smile: "Auntie, your hand is bleeding. Get up quickly and stop the bleeding. I'll do it right here."

Sun Sumiang came to her senses, quickly wrapped it with a handkerchief and squeezed hard to stop the bleeding. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Jiang Ying apologetically: "Miss, I'm sorry, I dropped the cup. I will compensate. Don't be angry."

Jiang Ying looked at her for a while, then slowly withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the account book in his hand: "It's just a cup. How can it be worth my anger with my aunt? But my aunt doesn't look very well. Do I need to travel far away, such as Nan Zhao?" ?”

Sun Sumiang's pupils trembled, and the corners of her eyes became moist instantly. Tears were about to fall out, so she quickly raised her hand to wipe them away.

Her voice was slightly choked: "I personally delivered the prince. Apart from the midwife, I was the first one to hold him. The concubine strives for favor. I brought up the prince almost carefully. I never thought that he would be sent away by the Li family before he became an adult. I went to Nanzhao and finally came back from Nanzhao. It’s only been a few good days. Isn’t it enough? Come here a second time.”

Sun Sumiang did not dare to say that she treated the prince as her own child, but her motherly heart could not be faked.

After learning the truth, she hated the imperial concubine and the time she had wasted all these years. Only Prince Ning, she never regretted being nice to him.

That year Prince Ning was sent away, and she tossed and turned for countless nights, her pillow towel wet with tears.

If the imperial concubine wasn't crazy and she had to take care of the imperial concubine, she would have gone to Nan Zhao long ago.

Now she really wanted to follow, but she remembered Xia Chenyue's instructions several times, telling her not to worry about anything else and to help him protect Jiang Ying. Naturally, she wanted to fulfill his instructions.

Jiang Ying felt that she was quite cold. She could not sympathize with Sun Sumiang's fear and did not understand why she was so worried.

Wei Wei closed the account book: "Auntie, have you tried to trust him a little more? He is no longer the immature boy he was nine years ago." (End of Chapter)
