MTL - This Sandbox Game is Unreliable-Chapter 532 prince's death

  Chapter 532 The prince's death

  The crown prince died, and disappeared on the way to the early dynasty.

   This matter was covered up immediately. Not many people knew about it, but it was a big event.

  The news hasn't come out yet, but the entire ruling and opposition parties seem to have noticed something bad.

For example, Emperor Xi did not go to court today, but was ruled by the Queen of Heaven. Although this is not a rare thing, there will be such a chance once or twice a month. Generally speaking, it is used as a shield to balance .

This is not a big problem, on the contrary, today's Queen of Heaven is also uncharacteristically, she didn't have much thought at all, she just left hastily, which made all the civil and military people look weird. It's called a long one, and I wish that the court would last for a day.

  This kind of abnormal behavior today makes people whisper.

  But he didn't say anything, who knows what the situation is.

  The prince's body was not transported back to the East Palace, but was detained in the palace. Emperor Xi looked at the corpse covered in white cloth with an ugly expression.

   Tianhou rushed over in a hurry, and his expression was inevitably a little sad, although this family usually fights for power and profit. But as far as feelings are concerned, no matter how ruthless they are, they are still their own children.

   "Your Majesty, have you found out who did it?" Tianhou's tone was gloomy.

  Emperor Xi shook his head: "Still investigating, the imperial doctor saw the corpse, it was not poisoned, and there was no wound on the body, more like a sudden death halfway, Donggong has already controlled it."

  The cause of the prince's death is a bit weird. If you want to find out, you need to investigate it. But generally speaking, unless it is necessary, you are not allowed to investigate.

  After all, if you want to find out the cause of death, you will have to disembowel him. It’s fine if you are an ordinary person, even if you are the son of an official.

   Therefore, the imperial physician could only come over for a simple examination, and finally came to the result of sudden death.

But obviously, this result is unacceptable to both the Emperor Xi and the Empress Dowager. The prince is in good health on weekdays, and he has the daily diet of the imperial physician, etc., so it is impossible for him to die suddenly, and there are reasons for sudden death. What incentive can there be in a carriage.

   You must know that the road is smooth and there is no shock, so it is naturally impossible to die suddenly so easily.

  So this matter is doubtful.

   "Are there any suspects? Don't worry about too many, let's catch them first." Tianhou's tone was a little excited.

  Emperor Xi glanced at her, but didn't say anything. The meaning is obvious, that is, does it need you to say it?

  Now everyone is under control, just waiting for a result to come out, otherwise I don't know how many people will be implicated.

   And Tianhou also calmed down, as if she was thinking about something.

   "In that case, what about the news?" Tianhou asked hesitantly.

   "First block it for three days, and choose another day to make a report. This matter must not be acted rashly, otherwise it will easily shake the fate of the country." Emperor Xi said.

A crown prince has died, and the cause of death is not clear, so of course we can’t say it casually, at least we have to wait for the result, but delaying is not an option, and accidents will happen if it is delayed too long, so the announcement must be announced, but the time I have to say more.

Tianhou nodded slightly, and her thoughts started to wander. There are two important things for her now. The first thing is to find a way to make her second son the new crown prince to ensure her status. The second is naturally Accept the prince's political legacy as soon as possible.

  The former is not too difficult. Emperor Xi's first three sons are all her sons. Although the second son is not the eldest son, he is also the first son, so it is not difficult to rise to the top.

  Even if Emperor Xi liked the status of the eldest son, once the crown prince died, the eldest son would be impossible.

  Then more important is the political legacy of the prince, especially the power of the household department and the son of the Orion of Ziyun in the East Palace.

The others are not of much use to the Queen of Heaven. After all, what use are those retainers? If it hadn’t been for the son of Ziyun’s Orion who gave advice and found the copper coin casting mold, then the household department has already fallen into her hands at this time. , directly abolished the prince's political power.

Therefore, in the eyes of Tianhou, the household department and the son of Ziyun's Orion, the latter is more important. Any fame and fame can be cultivated as a direct descendant.

Emperor Xi seemed to have seen what Tianhou was thinking, and he was also thinking about it, but the difference was that he was not interested in Chen Xiyi. For Tianhou and the prince, a Ziyun person was a great help, but It was completely different for him. What he was thinking about was how to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce the power of the household department and let more power be concentrated in his hands.

The Six Departments of the imperial court not only shared the responsibilities for him, but also restricted his rights, so he deliberately gave up the Ministry of Households to the prince, and the prince lived up to his expectations to reach a balance with the Ministry of Households and take it as his own power. It is by relying on this balance that the Ministry of Households can hold the account, at least in terms of the treasury, there is no need to be called out of money by the Ministry of Accounts every day.

   And if we continue to centralize power through this step, then with the Ministry of Accounting, other departments will naturally be much more honest, because the Ministry of Accounting manages money.

  Many things require money, and without money, it is difficult to move forward.

  So the Household Department is very important to Emperor Xi, otherwise he could have blackmailed the Household Department, and then gave the handle to the Queen of Heaven, because of this, of course.

  The husband and wife are just thinking about how to deal with the next storm.

  Besides, if this matter gets out, there will probably be a bloodbath among the princes.

If the crown prince hadn't died, it's really impossible for them to have such an idea. After all, Emperor Xi and Tianhou, who are not fuel-efficient parents, might fight for power and profit, but the tradition of the eldest son's crown prince cannot be broken unless something like Only other princes will have a chance for this kind of unexpected thing, otherwise basically there is no chance of succeeding in ascending the throne.

  Of course, if you have the ability to directly stage the Xuanwu Gate, it’s not impossible, but the other princes simply don’t have the strength in this area.

The princes of the Daxi Dynasty did not have the right to open the mansion. Even King Jingzhong did not have this right. How could ordinary princes have it, and only a prince like the crown prince had the right to open the mansion and recruit a hundred soldiers as his subordinates. Other security measures are maintained by the imperial army.

  So the difficulty of the Xuanwumen incident is still very difficult.

  The couple left the mourning hall in the palace very quickly and did not stay here to wait for news.

  Everyone is very busy, here is only blocked by the palace guards, no one is allowed to approach, and anyone who approaches will be killed.

  Tianhou hurriedly returned to her palace, and then came the hidden guard, ordering her to contact the hidden guard of the East Palace, and to recruit Chen Xiyi, it is best for Xiaozhi to play the emotional card with reason and emotion.

As for the blockade of the Eastern Palace, it is not difficult for Tianhou's hidden guard. After all, with her order and the hidden guard has a clear identity, it is relatively simple to get in. It is possible to bring someone out. It's a little bit harder, but it's okay, basically nothing major once the dust settles.

   Regarding the recruitment of Chen Xiyi, Tianhou is still very confident, because no one can compete with her at all, and her mind should be on the household department next.

She also saw that Emperor Xi had plans for the Ministry of Households for a long time. Regarding the loss of the copper coin casting mold in the Ministry of Households, the hidden guards under her hand naturally investigated that the behind-the-scenes may have something to do with Emperor Xi. After finding these clues Naturally, the Queen of Heaven decisively asked the dark guard to stop investigating this matter.

   You know, there are not only his own people in the dark guards, but also people from Emperor Xi.

If one's hidden guards can infiltrate into Emperor Xi's intelligence organization, then Emperor Xi's intelligence organization will naturally be able to infiltrate into one's own dark guards. This is the tacit understanding between the husband and wife, and they pretend not to know about it. But through this matter, they can tacitly disclose to each other some things that they want to disclose but cannot normally disclose to each other.

  Politics, compromises are normal.

  Chen Xiyi looked at the golden luck in his hand, which was only about 5% of the share, and it was directly integrated into his body, so things went smoothly.

"It's just that once the crown prince died, the one who recruited me should be the Queen of Heaven. The other party has always had a high desire for power, but was suppressed by Emperor Xi. Although he has power, many things depend on Emperor Xi. The wink, I guess it's rather aggrieved."

   "But I guess I don't have time now. The couple probably want to fight for the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Although he didn't use his spiritual sense to peep, he still had a vague guess. Compared with all the powers of the prince, the household department is the key. Yes, but this is also a training.

  I gave something, but if I can't keep it, don't blame others.

  In short, this family is just a special one. There is family affection, but it seems to be very fragile in front of rights.

   "Forget it, let's talk about the follow-up. Anyway, whether it's with Tianhou or Emperor Xi, it won't affect me killing them. At most, it will affect who will die first and who will die last."

Chen Xiyi didn't have too many thoughts about their family's affairs. His deduction ability based on the compatibility of information state, causality, luck, etc. is similar to that of cheating. He just peeked at the script and even arranged The script, he can play it any way he wants.

  So it is the same no matter whether you are taking the Tianhou line or the Xidi line, it is nothing more than repeated horizontal jumps.

   "At first thought, can I follow Lu Bu's example?"

  As soon as Chen Xiyi thought of himself coming up, he came up with a sentence: "Bu has been wandering for half his life, and he has not met the Ming Lord. If you don't abandon Bu, please worship him as a foster father" scene.

   Just thinking about it again, it seems that it doesn't meet his expectations, he wants to live in the world, how can he be depressed for a long time!

   "I seem to use Lu Bu's words quite smoothly." Chen Xiyi was a little skeptical of life for a while, he felt that although his moral bottom line was a little more flexible, but...

   Well, Lu Bu may not be able to catch up with himself.

   He seems to have jumped over such things as camps for countless times, and Lu Bu just paid homage to his two adoptive fathers, and he betrayed his master many times in the future.

  It's not like Chen Xiyi, few of his bosses end well.

   "I don't know where my flexible moral bottom line comes from. I vaguely remember that I was a sandbox game player who loved farming?"

  Chen Xiyi recalled his debut method, he was very skilled in cheating and abducting, but he seemed to be a serious person in his previous life. Although he likes to play some treacherous and evil Paradox games, he can't really use it for practice.

   "This is definitely not my fault. It should be that the extraterritorial demon polluted me back then, yes, that's how it is." Chen Xiyi said that he would not take the blame for this kind of thing, and directly dumped the blame on a cold extraterritorial demon.

  Anyway, the other party is dead, so no matter how you say it, you won’t refute it.
