Mystery Makes Me Strong

These dozens of people outside are equivalent to the military pay of thousands of people.

And the killing among them gradually caused more and more fear.

The main reason is that some people choose to flee while killing and then become robbers.

It is natural for fleeing soldiers to become bandits.

Secondly, some people kill and rob nearby residents to vent when they come back after winning, to relieve the pressure of killing and being killed.

This was very common in ancient times.

In Wen Rensheng's sight, the world began to slowly transform.

It is gradually changing from an ordinary detective flow ancient world to a mysterious, weird, and extraordinary one.

Just like the "Detective Di Renjie" he had watched before.

There were never any weird cases, but all kinds of weird things really appeared.

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 to the point where quantitative change caused qualitative change.

After three months of this intense hunting, the eldest and second princes were exhausted.

The so-called exhaustion, of course, did not mean that they were tired themselves.

In fact, it was because they did not have enough money.

Both sides spent money like water.

Bounties, pensions, equipment repairs, and weapons purchases after each battle.

Realistic fighting is not a game.

The blade will bend, and the armor will be damaged.

The maintenance expenses are a lot of money.

This forced the two princes to live frugally.

Of course, their frugality was just to stop those extravagant consumption.

But it was good to be able to do this.

This is the benefit of competition.

Even the worst competition is better than no competition.

They could no longer afford to recruit and train elites, so they could only recruit some cannon fodder.

The equipment also changed from triple armor to double, single, and even paper armor, cotton armor...

The armor was very bad, heavy, stuffy and hot.

So wars were often launched in autumn and winter.

A big factor was to accommodate armor.

Of course, there are also slack seasons, etc.

Wearing armor in the hot summer, you will get heatstroke after marching for half an hour.

This war is very terrible.

The short-term and intense battle caused the two major forces to lose a lot of savings.

As soon as the cannon sounded, thousands of taels of gold were gone.

Especially in feudal society, productivity was too poor, there was no vigorous industrialization, and war could not stimulate production, but would only weaken production.

Because it consumes a lot of food and labor.

…………

This day.

After seeing the relevant information, the third prince couldn't help laughing in his study:

"It's a good fight."

"No matter how smart you are, no matter how many counselors you have, how could you have thought that I would be behind everything?"

Just when he was proud, suddenly, there was a shout of killing outside the window.

"No, there is an assassin!"

"Notify the guards!"

"This is the residence of the third prince, you are rebelling!"

However, the next moment, a group of black-clothed masked killers, one by one, calmly took advantage of the night to kill him.

The third prince was shocked when he saw this.

He dragged his fat body and was about to press the secret door.

However, the secret passage was opened, but he moved too slowly.

He couldn't run at all.

"How is it possible?"

"Why are they coming to kill me?"

"I'm obviously not a threat."

"Aren't they afraid of the emperor's wrath?"

Wen Rensheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

This fool time traveler, doesn't he know a sentence, remove all the impossibilities, and the rest is the truth.

The other two princes are not fools either. They thought about it over and over again, and they must be able to figure out that the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam.

The third prince seems impossible, but now the most likely behind-the-scenes man is him.

Or the two must collectively exclude the third party before the final battle.

In history, when three forces fought, they often destroyed one party first, and then the two fought.

No one wants to let the third party benefit from the two fighting to death.

And it is difficult for other people in the royal family to do the same.

Because the succession system of the dynasty is now very complete.

Those princes outside the capital have no power at all.

A local official can arrest all those princes with some yamen runners.

Because the princes have lost their independent guards.

The princes' own guards have been reduced long ago.

Those responsible for protecting the princes are all local soldiers.

No matter how capable the princes are, they can't turn the world upside down.

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.

They were wearing heavy armor and directly faced the black-clothed men who came in.

Then they blocked the black-clothed men with the help of a narrow passage.

The third prince began to run away quickly with his magic brush and the scroll he had just painted.

At the same time, he set a fire in the study.

The flames rose and smoke filled the air.

The third prince fled to the secret passage.

The scrolls he had painted before were also burned in the fire.

As for why they didn't burn all of them and took one away, Wen Rensheng thought that the other party might hope that the latest case would continue to ferment.

So that those small cases would become big cases.

Then, the third prince immediately hid in the underground cave through a secret passage, and only then did he escape.

However, this time, the secret power accumulated by the third prince himself was almost killed out.

It can be said that he no longer has the ability to launch a similar Xuanwu Gate Incident like Li Erfeng. Of course, after they killed the third prince's power, they later found that there were not many dead men in the third prince's mansion, nor too many masters.

Because the third prince wanted to rely on the case to destroy the two families, he naturally would not reserve too many dead men, making himself easily exposed.

When the emperor got the news, he was furious.

He called the eldest prince and the second prince to the front, picked up the whip, and whipped them personally!

At the same time, they were stripped of their royal titles, making them from princes to county princes.

And he scolded them in public: "You don't know how to be friendly and respectful to your brothers!"

"You can't even tolerate a disabled brother!"

"If you ascend to the throne in the future, no matter uncles or brothers, they will all die."

At this time, the third prince wrote again:

"This matter has nothing to do with the two brothers."

"This should be the work of the gangsters."

"This is some bandits who want to instigate their royal internal strife and are behind it."

The emperor was very pleased to see this.

A thought suddenly came to his mind.

If the position is passed to one of the two healthy sons now, the other two sons will inevitably die.

Now only passing it to the disabled third son can save them.

Because the third son has a better temper.

He is more tolerant of others.

Some people will say, is the emperor a fool?

Can't he even see this situation?

But history is like this.

This is how Tang Gaozong Li Zhi came to power.

He has limited talents, and in terms of talent and intelligence, he is not as good as his elder brothers, the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke.

But he succeeded in taking the throne.

He relied on filial piety and 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, seemingly a wise operation, eventually led to Wu Zetian's rise to power.

This is also the number one idiot in history...

He was obviously in power, and the Li family was so powerful in the court, but he was worried that the royal family would seize power, so he let his wife take power on his behalf.

The final result was that his descendants of the Li family were almost slaughtered.

You have to know that this was the heyday of a dynasty.

The royal family was killed like this by people of other surnames.

Even the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Jin Dynasty was killed by their own people.

And Li Zhi caused a real good joke.

He was still in the heyday of the dynasty, but he was taken over by people of other surnames.

If a dog was tied to the throne, it would not be like this.

That's why the system of virtual monarchs evolved in later generations.

And now, the emperor also chose to secretly appoint a disabled person as his prince.

Although disabled, the third prince still has four sons.

This is why the emperor finally decided to pass the throne to his disabled son.

It’s enough for the grandson to be normal.

The son is just a transition.

In comparison, the sons of the other two princes are not very capable.

At the same time, he also ordered to find various medicines for the third prince to treat his lameness.

Medicines for treating eyes.

The problem of eyes is actually not a big deal.

Because from a distance, no one can see clearly when presiding over the ceremony.

No one dares to look directly at the emperor.

But lameness is not okay, and you can tell whether it is a lame person by listening.

So the current problem is the lameness, which must be properly managed.

In fact, in Wen Rensheng’s opinion, the third prince has reached the last critical moment.

The third prince pretended for decades, and under the cover of a lame man, he finally survived to the last moment.

Similarly, the first prince and the second prince also heard the rumor that the emperor would pass the throne.

They also realized that the critical moment had arrived.

They began to gather the last troops in their hands.

And they were all people who had great favors for them, the most elite troops.

Whether they can fight successfully depends on the power at hand.

In comparison, the royal centralized system of this world is not perfect enough.

It is not as centralized as the Qing Dynasty in the modern world, which can ensure that the throne is passed in accordance with the will of the emperor.

At this time, the third prince also began to work hard to paint.

He tried to get higher power.

The emperor's succession is the most concerned and one of the biggest things in this world.

Second only to the demise of the dynasty.

The third prince wants to slowly lead the entire world to the high magic world.

In this way, he can not only sit on the throne of the emperor, but also become an immortal.

What he wants to do is the Immortal Emperor!

Therefore, whether it is lame, blind, or obese, those diseases that plague mortals are not considered in his eyes.

But Wen Rensheng, seeing this, shook his head.

Because this guy still committed the problem of impatience.

Everything he did before was good.

But now, he has become impatient.

The other party did not think about the problem of plug-in potential, but just used stereotypes to think that plug-ins can continue to grow.

This may also be because the old emperor is about to die.

He is over 70 years old and may die at any time.

So he had to use the scroll plug-in a lot to stimulate the conflict between the first and second princes.

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 just disabled, but not fat, and even very healthy.

At that time, the third prince did not even have the ambition to be an emperor, but just wanted to be a lying prince.

And the first and second princes, at that time, did not doubt him at all.

There were no such messy things between them.

Wen Rensheng saw these experiences.

He couldn't help shaking his head.

Sure enough, strength makes success and strength makes failure.

Strength brought ambition to the third prince, but also brought destruction.

Originally, he could be a vassal king who enjoyed poetry, singing and dancing.

He could stay stable for the rest of his life.

He could even D his own children and inherit the throne.

Because Wen Rensheng noticed that the children of the first and second princes were very weak and would not live long.

It can be said that the child of the third prince is very likely to become the emperor.

And now, because of the scroll plug-in, he took the initiative to join this fight.

And this fight will bring him a fatal threat.

Before, in order to prevent people from seeing that he was the one who made trouble, the third prince added a lot of conditions when designing the case.

So everyone did not consider that he was the one who made trouble.

And now, there are more and more cases involving the first and second princes, but they don’t care.

At this time, after the third prince was secretly determined, he was taken into the palace by the old emperor.

In a heavily guarded place in the palace, the third prince lived.

The people who protected him were the palace guards.

The palace guards were very elite, all transferred from the border army, and each of them had a clean background.

They all had complete families.

Parents, wife, children.

They took turns to serve as guards.

They are on duty for 4 months every year, divided into 3 shifts.

Their work is quite leisurely, but the mission is very serious.

When there is nothing to do, it is like a holiday, but once something happens, it is a battlefield of life and death.

The struggle between the eldest prince and the second prince is getting more and more intense.

Of course, they knew that the third prince had entered the palace, and they immediately wanted to send someone to assassinate the third prince to see if they could end the third prince's life.

As a result, the assassination failed as expected.

The struggle continues.

However, these things have nothing 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 is seriously ill, he will be the first to get the moon.

He will become the next emperor.

And this day, the time to really change the situation has come.

That is, the emperor suddenly died!

"The emperor has passed away!"

"The emperor is dead!"

After the emperor died, he would be called "the late emperor" for a period of time.

The title after the emperor died and before the posthumous title was established.

This refers to the honorific title after the emperor died.

At this time, the eldest and second princes immediately showed their true colors.

They sent people to attack the palace.

However, the palace guards began to move out, and they blocked the first and second princes' people from entering.

But the guards were also human beings.

Several generals of the guards had already been won over.
