"Did you see anything about what happened today?"
After leaving the imperial study room, Yan Zhenlin couldn't help but ask.
Lin Bai was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Confucian dragon-slaying technique."
Yan Zhenlin's eyes lit up slightly, with a look of relief on his face, and he said, "It's very good that you can understand this. Even the emperor cannot have everything go his way."
Lin Bai asked curiously: "Why does Your Majesty reject the Crown Prince so much?"
Yan Zhenlin shook his head and said: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Your Majesty has a deep mind. It is difficult for outsiders to know what he is thinking. However, after what happened today, I feel that it is not so strange for my father."
Lin Bai was puzzled: "Why?"
Yan Zhenlin glanced at him and said, "You also talked about the Confucian dragon slaying technique, so who is this dragon slaying person?"
this?
Lin Bai's pupils shrank slightly, "Father-in-law, do you mean that everything today was instigated by him?"
The so-called him naturally refers to the fourth prince.
Because of the current situation, the best candidate for the crown prince is the fourth prince. The second prince and the third prince are just foils. If someone is really slaying the dragon, it will naturally be the fourth prince.
Yan Zhenlin smiled, "It doesn't matter whether it's him or not, because even if it's not him, it's still someone from his lineage."
"Just a prince can win over half of the court with such means. What will it look like if he is really crowned as prince?"
"Do you think His Majesty will be worried?"
Good guy!
Lin Bai called him a good guy. He had long heard his father-in-law say that the fourth prince was great, but he didn't take it seriously before.
Now that I look at it, it’s incredible!
If the other party really becomes the prince, most of Lao Zhu's power will probably be divided. In a few years, he will not be able to stand aside. After all, the prince is already so powerful.
I'm so afraid he's not a monster.
No wonder Lao Zhu doesn't like to see this guy so much. Looking at it this way, it's really not surprising.
"Then what will your Majesty do?"
Yan Zhenlin shook his head, "At present, it seems that His Majesty will still delay, but this is just a temporary measure. The ministers in the court will definitely keep making suggestions. After all, the appointment of a crown prince is indeed a major event and the people's will."
Lin Bai said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to see the fourth prince, can you appoint someone else?"
Yan Zhenlin shook his head and said: "His Majesty has been balancing the strength of the major princes. Previously, the fourth prince performed well, and his majesty intended to support the third prince. However, he still couldn't suppress it, so he supported the second prince and used the two princes to check and balance the fourth prince."
"A year ago, the fourth prince suddenly fell silent. My father thought that he saw that His Majesty was not happy and restrained himself. Now it seems that he only restrained himself on the surface, but not necessarily behind the scenes."
"And this year, the second prince and the third prince had troubles one after another. First because of you fighting each other, and then because the Night King had his left and right arms cut off. This assassination case of secretly recruiting Zhuge Liannu has completely lost the hearts of the people. Only those relationships that have been cut off can no longer compete with the Fourth Prince."
"There is no chance of establishing a crown prince at this time."
Lin Bai nodded and had to admit that it was indeed what his father-in-law said.
The second and third princes had almost no chance before they made any great achievements.
Yan Zhenlin continued: "After the Night King incident, His Majesty probably realized it, so he introduced the fifth prince, but unfortunately, the fifth prince's abilities are limited."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Bai and said, "Based on your previous guess, maybe the fifth prince was plotted from the beginning and was pushed out to take the blame. If he just welcomed an ordinary princess, maybe things wouldn't be the same. It will be revealed so early.”
"Maybe she could still play the role of a strong contender for the crown prince's position, and she was very popular for a while, but she welcomed Princess Tianwu, so the matter was revealed in advance, and he was completely marginalized."
Lin Bai's pupils shrank.
What Lao Yan said was tantamount to believing that everything was done by the fourth prince.
In fact, Lin Bai had long suspected that ever since the Night King incident, he had suspected that there were shadows of the Fourth Prince and his family behind it. After all, considering the situation at the time, they should be the ones who knew best.
But then the second and third princes were found to be responsible. However, his suspicions were not eliminated, but deepened because of Zhuiyue, because the strength of the second and third princes was greatly reduced, and the fourth prince seemed to have done nothing. But he became the biggest beneficiary.
After the fifth prince's incident happened, he also suspected that the fifth prince was being taken advantage of.
Someone used the fifth prince to reveal the news about the Night King's child, and used a borrowed knife to kill people. He killed four birds with one stone, severely injuring the second and third princes, and at the same time leaving the fifth prince to take the blame.
He also took advantage of the situation to meet Lao Zhu's need for balance, and launched the fifth prince to go on missions. When the time comes, he will marry a princess and continue to act as a strong competitor for the crown prince's position.
But in fact, the other party holds the handle of the fifth prince and can knock him into the dust at any time.
However, no one expected that the fifth prince would welcome Princess Tianwu, a princess with a powerful background, so this matter was revealed in advance.
Everything makes sense!
Good guy!
Lin Bai had to sigh, this was such a good way to keep everyone entertained, it was so awesome!
Moreover, this guy is extremely lucky. In this Red Lotus assassination case, he was instrumental in escorting him, but the second prince and the third prince were suspected of leaking Zhuge Liannu because of the call of Zhuge Liannu, and even the last glimmer of hope was wiped out.
As a result, there is no longer any competitor for the position of prince.
I have to say that none of those princes can fight, and they are completely inadequate in front of the fourth prince!
By the way, is it too late for me to curry favor now?
If this guy becomes the emperor in the future, it will be terrible, I'm afraid!
With Xiao Qi’s relationship, there shouldn’t be any big problems, right? There doesn't seem to be any conflict between myself and the other party.
Lin Bai thought for a while and found that it was indeed not the case, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no way, such an awesome person has to be careful!
Fortunately, he is as stable as an old dog. The other party fights for the other party's crown prince, and he eats his own soft rice. There is no conflict between the two.
However, is this Red Lotus assassination really just a coincidence? Will...
Bah bah bah! !
I don't want these useless things to have anything to do with me. This matter is too dangerous. It's over if I don't know anything. Anyway, the other party's target is not me.
The talented man just wants to live peacefully and does not want to make big news. Whoever becomes the emperor is not the emperor. To be honest, the other princes have nothing to do with him. The fourth prince is a serious brother-in-law, so.
However, if everything is as speculated and the other party is responsible for the Night King's incident, then does the other party know the whereabouts of the Night King's child?
Is the change in the Queen's attitude towards Chai Yue due to this?
Could it be that Chai Yue is really the Night King's child, and that the Queens hid the Night King's child back then? Save for a rainy day? Were they the ones who stopped him from investigating the Feiyun Escort Agency case?
Who and why do they want to bloodbath Feiyun Escort Agency? This is murder and silence!
mmp!
The talented man felt inexplicably that the water in the Queen's family was too deep. For the first time, he hesitated to eat Xiao Qi's bowl of soft rice.
