Who are the two people standing on the bow opposite?
Sheng Hong took a breath of air, no longer as calm as before, and shouted out loud: "Chen Mei?!"
Qian San silently took two steps forward, blocking Sheng Hong behind him with his chubby body. The smile that always resembled the Maitreya Buddha on his face was replaced by a solemn one.
The person Sheng Hong called Chen Mei was a lean old man wearing a black robe. He was short in stature and had gray hair, but he had sharp eyes.
He looked up at the dragon boat and saw the people on the dragon boat clearly. He did not answer Sheng Hong's words, but glared at Xu Fuxing beside him with a gloomy face: "Vice Commander Xu, how could the Sixth Prince be on the dragon boat?" ?!”
Xu Fu is prosperous.
The second uncle of the sixth prince, and one of the five deputy commanders of the naval camp.
At this moment, he raised his head and stared at the sixth prince behind Sheng Hong. He was also in disbelief, and his expression changed drastically: "Xu'er?! Why are you not on your mother's and concubine's ship?!"
Sixth Prince: "..."
His mind flashed back to the way his mother and concubine looked at him when the fleet set off from the dock in Shangshu County.
At that time, he thought that his mother-in-law had something to say, so he walked over. However, his mother-in-law just raised her hand and caressed his cheek as she did when she was a child, told him to listen to his father's words, and then urged him to get on the dragon boat.
At that time, he was thinking about the future development of Ontario, so he got on the dragon boat.
So, so this is a rebellion that was planned long ago?
Did his mother-in-law want to keep him but finally let him board the dragon boat?
Why did his mother-in-law do this?
Why betrayed and betrayed his second uncle...
More importantly, why did his second uncle rebel? !
He stared blankly at Xu Fuxing, his heart beating like a drum, which made his ears buzz and his brain seemed to be filled with threads, making him unable to find any clues.
His breathing was extremely rapid, but he did not dare to raise his head to look at his father standing in front of him. The unprecedented fear was like a big hand holding his neck, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"Your Majesty! This old slave dares to say that you must tie up the Sixth Prince."
Qian San didn't care about the sixth prince's reaction at this moment. He stared at Chen Mei closely, with obvious urgency in his tone.
As soon as these words came out, the Sixth Prince suddenly looked at Sheng Hong with a sad expression on his face.
Sheng Hong also looked at him and asked in a deep tone: "Xu'er, do you know?"
"My son doesn't know!"
These four words, the Sixth Prince screamed heartbreakingly. He shook his head wildly: "My son doesn't know anything!"
why is it like this? !
Why? !
He also imagined that the next time his father visited the south, it would be his turn to supervise the country, but today the Xu family's move completely blocked his path!
All his previous efforts and efforts would be ruined by his second uncle!
Why? !
"So now that you know, how do you choose?"
Sheng Hong was not moved by his hysteria, and his tone remained serious.
This question was extremely lethal, hitting the Sixth Prince's heart and stopping his collapse.
He returned to his dull look, but his eyes were red. He stretched out his left hand and touched his heart: "Father, my son has never thought of plotting against you, never thought of it. My son can swear, my son If you have any thoughts of rebellion, let your son..."
"There is no need to swear a poisonous oath, my father believes in you."
Sheng Hong interrupted him and his expression softened.
But at this moment, Xu Fuxing shouted fiercely: "Fool! Xu'er, you have lost an arm. The Holy Emperor has already eliminated you. No matter how good you are, you can't compete with other princes!"
"Except for this move, you have no chance to sit on the throne. If you don't believe me, ask the Holy Emperor if he is willing to pass the throne to you when your brothers are equally outstanding?!"
"Not to mention that several princes are equally outstanding. Even if the other princes are far inferior to you, he won't want to!"
"He is guarding you like a thief. He is afraid that you will harm Li Qiao after you ascend the throne. Can't you even feel it?!"
As soon as these words came out, the Sixth Prince felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was stunned at first, as if he didn't understand what these words meant.
But gradually, disbelief slowly appeared on his face.
Because he remembered something.
Just like the Lisheng Temple incident at the beginning of the Southern Tour, his father vetoed it too quickly...
"Father?"
He called Sheng Hong softly, his voice trembling violently, and mist welling up in his eyes.
Sheng Hong was silent for a few seconds.
His silence caused the mist in the Sixth Prince's eyes to instantly turn into water droplets and well up in his eyes. He kept shaking his head, as if he didn't believe that such ridiculous words were actually true.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth, his voice full of guilt: "Father, I should give you an explanation."
Now that he did it, he didn't dare to admit it.
Even on such occasions, he was magnanimous.
He can't live up to his son, but he can live up to Da Sheng.
"Li Qiao is vital to Dasheng and irreplaceable. When my father chooses his successor, he must consider the new emperor's attitude towards him."
"My father believes that you have no ill intentions towards him at this time, but my father cannot guarantee you in the future."
"This is because my father is sorry for you. It's up to you to blame or hate me. Your mother's family rebelled today. Now it depends on your attitude."
Li Qiao: "..."
Everyone present: "..."
Many people took a breath of air. Everyone thought that what Xu Fuxing just said was a fart, and that he was deliberately talking nonsense to frame Sheng Hong in order to confuse the Sixth Prince.
Because it's too bullshit.
The emperor chooses his successor based on his ministers?
Who would believe this except a naive three-year-old?
Just now, everyone thought Xu Fuxing was ridiculous. He didn't even know how to make a logical lie when he told it. If he said such a thing in public, he would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame and laughed at by the world for seventy-eight years.
But who thinks it is true.
It's fucking true.
Sheng Hong admitted it personally in public.
It will go down in history and shock future generations from generation to generation!
This is really hard to comment on!
Many people looked at Li Qiao, their eyes scanning Li Qiao's body.
Awesome Mr. Li!
Li Qiao, who was stared at by everyone, was not only confused but also moved.
Although Sheng Hong's preference for him was due to his ability, he did not expect that Sheng Hong would consider it so comprehensively. He was afraid that the iron coupon of the elixir redeemed by the imperial edict would not be able to protect him, so he simply deprived the sixth prince of his qualification to compete for the throne.
To reach this point, you really care about him as your own junior...
Li Qiao was extremely moved, but to the sixth prince, Sheng Hong's words undoubtedly cost him half his life.
His head seemed to have been hit hard, the pain was severe and his body was shaky.
He almost suffocated. As a last resort, he could only open his mouth wide and rely on his mouth to breathe.
But every part of his body seemed to be blocked by stones, and even if he opened his mouth wide, he still couldn't breathe.
He didn't believe it.
Do not believe.
His father actually did it because of an outsider, because of an outsider...
So what does his hard work in the past two years count?
What does the money he scatters count?
Because he was eager to please Li Qiao in public, he instead behaved in a boring way. What is it like?
What does it look like? !
He stared at his good father with wide eyes. He wanted to question loudly, but tears were beyond his control and poured out of his eyes like dams.
He couldn't open his mouth at all. He made a few uh-uh sounds in his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
It hurts so much.
It's Lingchi.
This is Ling Chi in public.
His most respected father, the emperor, used Lingchi torture on him in full view of everyone!
The Sixth Prince's collapse was obvious. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, his two personal guards immediately stepped forward to support him.
When Qian San saw this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, you should kidnap the Sixth Prince first. Xu Fuxing and Chen Mei are watching with eager eyes."
Chen Mei is the chief spy. The spies of the Sheng family and his son were all trained by Chen Mei, as well as Sheng Hong’s personal maids and eunuchs, all of whom were trained by Chen Mei. Therefore, Qiuxian Palace’s secrecy skills are top-notch. Okay, if Sheng Hong doesn't want any news to leak out, then he can really keep it sealed.
Chen Mei is very good at training people. He feels that even the palace maids and eunuchs at the lowest level cannot be trusted now!
Moreover, Chen Mei's kung fu was not much inferior to him. Now that Chen Mei was going to rebel, he was more nervous than ever. Who knew what Chen Mei was capable of.
The only serious thing is to tie up the Sixth Prince quickly. With the Sixth Prince in hand, he will see how the Xu family and Chen Mei can rebel!
"Father!"
The eldest prince also took a step forward and said to Sheng Hong in a deep voice: "I sympathize with the sixth brother and feel the same way, but from a rational point of view, only the sixth brother can save us at this time. There are many people on the other side, and the guards may not be able to resist it."
The fourth prince sighed: "Father, eldest brother is right."
As he spoke, he looked at his sixth brother, his eyes full of sympathy. Not to mention his sixth brother, every word of his father's words just now seemed to have a thorn in his ears, pricking his ears. He felt uncomfortable all over.
