Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Of course, the main reason is that Qin Honghou doesn't want to think about it, because if he really thinks about it, wouldn't it mean that his every move is being watched? She didn't want to dwell on this, so she numbed herself and chose a wrong answer that she liked.

Qin Honghou didn't know about the prince and An Ran. The reason why he didn't plan to expose her identity and her incident in the third prince's backyard was because the exposure would not only embarrass the prince, but would not be of much use in dealing with the third prince, because the emperor liked the three princes. The prince can only be handled with care, so the prince thinks that it is best not to alarm them. It is best for him to slowly consolidate his power. After all, the most terrifying thing is not the third prince and Qin Honghou, but the emperor. As long as the emperor does not want him to be the prince, He was afraid that he would fail, so he was even more afraid of the emperor, so he did not intend to create any complications with Qin Honghou and the third prince. As long as they were unable to take the throne, he would focus all his energy on the emperor.

The more he stared at the emperor's every move and the emperor's secret support for the third prince, the more the prince became afraid.

The prince had a vague feeling that it was impossible for him and the emperor to have a loving father and a filial son. It would most likely turn into a life-or-death situation. There was no way around it. According to the emperor's plan, it seemed that there was no way for him to survive.

If others don't let him live, and he doesn't want to die obediently, he will naturally have no choice but to bear it.

The more he looked at the emperor's attitude towards the third prince, the more the prince understood a truth: if the third prince could not ascend to the throne, his father might violently support the third prince to ascend to the throne, just as An Ran guessed, that is, without asking for any reason. , directly deposed the prince, and then made the third child the prince.

Of course, it is said that there is no reason, but the emperor will definitely find an excuse to drive him down, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the civil and military officials of the court, and then his father should also be proud of him, not wanting to dethrone him for no reason. Well, he has a reputation as a faint king in history.

So recently, the prince has been very vigilant. No matter what his father says, he has to discuss with Mr. Zhang and others before deciding what to do, for fear of falling into the emperor's trap.

Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that Mr. Zhang climbed up from the grassroots, the prince felt that Mr. Zhang was smarter than his father, so there would be nothing wrong in asking Mr. Zhang about anything.

Don't say that he did the right thing, because Mr. Zhang is indeed smarter than the emperor, so Mr. Zhang can probably see through what the emperor wants to do.

In fact, Mr. Zhang had helped him escape several times, whether intentionally or unintentionally from the pits his father had dug for him. If it hadn't been for Mr. Zhang's analysis, he would never have thought that he would have done as his father said. What fate will fall upon.

This is also the reason why the prince becomes more and more grateful and relies on Mr. Zhang.

In fact, Mr. Zhang didn't believe that the emperor wanted to depose the prince. After all, he had already established a prince. To depose him and establish him again was such a stupid act, and he didn't know how troublesome it would be.

But the facts were right in front of him. He was watching the third prince collaborating with Prince Li and others to engage in small tricks. The emperor clearly found out but did not stop him. Even though he sent the censor to report, he planned to treat them lightly, and then he understood. What the prince and his daughter said was that the emperor wanted to depose the prince and re-establish the third prince as prince, and the emperor's favorite person in the palace was Concubine Wang Shu. It was true.

Of course, what's more important is that the people he sent to inquire about the news at the third prince's residence also heard Concubine Wang Shu telling the third prince that the emperor wanted to make him the prince - she said this to Qin Honghou when the third prince was talking about it, so as not to worry about it. Qin Honghou was worried that he had offended the Li family and was not easy to ascend to power, so the people he sent overheard it.

The two people thought they were at their own home and were not so careful with their words, so they easily found out.

The third prince and Concubine Wang Shu had said so. Even though Mr. Zhang was not able to place important informants around the emperor because he was not rich enough, he had almost confirmed what the prince and his daughter had said.

Finally, he analyzed that the reason why the emperor clearly liked Concubine Wang Shu and the third prince and still appointed his legitimate son as the crown prince was probably because the crown prince had already grown up at that time and was the legitimate son of the middle palace. If he did not establish him as the crown prince, it would easily make some people in the court realize that It turns out that the emperor does not want the legitimate son of the palace to be the crown prince, but he is afraid that he wants to make another prince the crown prince.

At that time, several forces will form and attack each other. The third prince may be attacked. It is not safe. It is better to make the legitimate son of the middle palace the crown prince first. Since the other party is legitimate and elder, there is no one more suitable to be the crown prince than him. , after thinking about it, others will feel that the prince's status is very stable. Others should not cause any trouble, just wait for the prince to take the throne, and be a prince yourself.

In this way, various forces will not form, and the third prince will be very safe. Moreover, even if there is danger, it will be borne by the prince. After all, he is the prince. If others want to rise to power, they will not deal with him first, but instead deal with him. It's impossible for other princes.

Not to mention, Mr. Zhang's analysis was almost the reason why the emperor would make the queen's son the prince.

Originally, the emperor really didn't want to make unnecessary efforts to avoid the trouble of establishing and abolishing it.

But at that time, the court saw that he had not established a prince for a while, and various forces were already ready to bet on a few princes.

The emperor was afraid that the third prince would be attacked by the power of other princes. After all, there was nothing more convenient for him to ascend to power than killing other princes. What's more, there were only five established princes in the current court, so he only needed to kill four. The task was not heavy, and there would be only one left. No matter how angry the emperor was that the other party had killed his brothers, in order not to give the throne to other clans, he could only hold his nose and admit it.

The emperor saw this undercurrent, so he had no choice but to quickly appoint the legitimate son of the palace as the prince, and then the turmoil was eliminated. Otherwise, if several princes were fighting, he would not dare to say that he would be able to keep his life of true love. After all, he knows that his abilities are limited, and those ministers are all clever. How can he dare to say that he is smarter than those ministers and can play with them.

Of course, the main reason is that the situation is too chaotic. Even if others are not smart, but are reckless enough to directly physically destroy the third prince, even if he is angry afterwards, he will not be able to resurrect the third prince. So when he sees that the situation is not right, he quickly kills the middle prince. The legitimate son stood up to put up a flag and let those people trouble the prince, so that the third prince would not be exposed to risks.

Don't say that this can be considered a success, because the third prince has indeed been safe and sound since then, and no one has done anything to him.

Shortly after the killer's accident, General Jianping was transferred to the Forbidden Army as Qin Huanghou wished.

And because of his family background and qualifications as a border officer, he continued to fulfill Qin Huanghou's wish and got the position of deputy commander of the Forbidden Army.
