Chapter 258 Conspiracy to usurp the throne
Chapter 258: Urgent throne
"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't fight, but you will lose your life. I'm for your own good. Don't forget it." Prince Li Yong said coldly, his chest fluctuated a little while when Li Xunhuan was talking. He didn't expect that Li Xunhuan was so bold that he dared to speak to him in front of him. This was simply seeking death.
"Hahaha... I'm not afraid of this, I'm afraid that something will happen to you... There is a saying that goes? Stealing chickens will not lose rice... Is that true? Hehe... Prince, you are too vicious and too self-righteous, so you have come to such a situation. Are you still warning me now? I should advise you to go back and recuperate. After all, my father said that you have been thinking about it at home for three months. You should be honest recently, don't leave.
If you move well, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the words that will make your father angry. If your father is angry, you will not be able to keep your position as the prince. Don’t cry at that time.” Li Xunhuan turned a deaf ear to Li Xunhuan. Li Xunhuan has always been like this. He will not give anyone any face. Except Bai Qi and Bezos, there are only Li Aoxue and Emperor Li Ziming. No one is convinced, no one will give face. He used to give face to Prince Li Yong, let alone now...
"You... OK! Humph!" The hands that pointed at Li Xunhuan were trembling. After hearing this, the prince Li Yong said coldly, but unfortunately he didn't know what to say. Looking at Li Xunhuan's appearance, Li Yong knew that he was afraid that he would make it a waste of fun if he continued to say it. Li Xunhuan didn't take him seriously at all, and he was also a waste of fun, so he left without finishing his anger.
He left here with his own people, ignored Li Xunhuan and the others, and walked out straight away. Behind him, Li Xunhuan's cheerful laughter came. It seemed that Li Xunhuan was really laughing very happily...
"Damn...Damn...Bastard...Bastard! Li Xunhuan! I'm going to kill him!" In the depths of the imperial prince's mansion, in the secret room, Prince Li Yong stood there and smashed the expensive Western Region vase to the ground, then roared, smashing the priceless and very beautiful vase to pieces...
In the dark secret room beside Prince Li Yong, seven or eight princely confidants stood on the left and right, one by one, and they didn't dare to say anything more. At this time, they understood that the prince was angry and it would be better not to provoke the prince, otherwise the result could be imagined. The prince is not so easy to provoke, especially at this time, whoever provokes him would be seeking death.
Although the prince seems very kind on the surface and is not so strong outside, he is not so kind at home, but he is not very tough at home. His confidants all know that many slaves have died at the hands of the prince, and these confidants have witnessed the cruelty of the prince with their own eyes. Although they are all ministers of the court, the prince will not do anything to them. Even when the prince is most angry, they will not do anything to them, but they do not want to make themselves uncomfortable.
"Damn it! Bai Qi...Li Xunhuan...and you Bai Qi, you bastard...you both are bastards...I want to kill you!!kill you!!" After the prince scolded Li Xunhuan, he started to find Bai Qi again. Perhaps in the prince's eyes, Bai Qi was even more hateful than Li Xunhuan.
While speaking, the prince took out a long sword next to him and slashed it freely, causing the trusted ministers to take a few steps back unconsciously, then swallowed, and glanced at the prince and didn't dare to say anything more.
Finally, it took a while before the prince calmed down. At this time, he was exhausted by himself and was full of sweat. He stood there and gasped, and then looked at the silent confidants around him and whispered: "Everyone... Everyone knows what you think you should do?"
"This..." The trustees around looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. His Majesty the Emperor actually asked the prince to be confined and had the intention to abolish the prince. This matter was no longer something they could control, nor was it something they could solve in just a few words. Therefore, they stood there one by one, looking at me, and I looked at you, but for a long time they were hesitant and unable to say a word.
"What? Can't you think of a solution?" The prince said with dissatisfaction when he saw the expressions of these confidants around him. When he said this, he also raised his tone several times. Then he squinted his eyes and looked up and down at the group of subordinates around him. As he said that, he sat on a chair next to him, quietly looking at these subordinates, waiting for their answers.
However, he couldn't help but start to reconsider: "What these guys usually say is better than anyone else, but when they really use them, they all became mutes, damn... a bunch of damn bastards!"
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, he could not say it. Those who could get here were his confidants, and they were also the most important person in his faction. Everyone has a very high status and power outside. They are definitely not a slave whom he can beat and scold at will. Although these people are his subordinates, he is just the prince rather than the emperor after all, and he still needs the support of these people, and he cannot do whatever he wants.
"This... I don't know what you want to do with your prince? Are you talking about your purpose? Do you want Your Majesty to forgive you for your position, or do you want to become the emperor as soon as possible? Or just want to kill Bai Qi and the third prince?" A prince's confidant hesitated and looked at the silent people around him, and then whispered to Li Yong in front of him.
"Is there any difference?" Li Yong asked with a frown. In his opinion, whether he wants to consolidate his position and let Li Ziming forgive him, or wants to kill Li Xunhuan and Bai Qi, or wants to be an emperor, it is all the same thing, and there is no difference at all.
"Of course there is... If you want your Majesty to forgive you, then it's very simple. You make a special apology to Your Majesty, then you honestly confine yourself, and immediately attack and apologize to Your Majesty after the confinement, expressing your mistakes. I think Your Majesty will forgive you. If you still want to consolidate your status... Then you must stand in the same position as Your Majesty in any matter and in any aspect, try to please Your Majesty and satisfy Your Majesty. It's not me that you, your temper should be changed, which is very different from Your Majesty. Naturally, your Majesty does not like it. Your Majesty likes the Third Prince because the Third Prince is very obedient and has a similar temper to Your Majesty. After all, you are the prince. If you do this, if you please Your Majesty and make Your Majesty happy, then Your Majesty will not shake your status. After all, you are also his son, and you have been the prince for so many years.
You will not do anyone's benefit, so Your Majesty will not do anything randomly. As long as you wait with peace of mind, the empire will still be yours in a hundred years... But if you do this, there will still be risks. First, Your Majesty may not accept your apology. Second, even if Your Majesty accepts it, he is already old and will inevitably be a little biased. Maybe he will pass the throne to His Highness the Third Prince. These have to be guarded against... Third, another point is that Your Majesty doesn't know how long he can live. If you do this, you need to have enough patience. You are already forty years old, but I think you still need to endure it for a while. And I am not sure about this time. It may be one year, two years, or ten years, or twenty years. After all, these are not easy to say." The subordinate first talked about the benefits and disadvantages of the first choice... Then after that, he looked at the Prince Li Yong in front of him...
He was waiting for Li Yong's reaction. Obviously, he himself did not agree with the idea of saying this plan just to make Li Yong understand. He had other things to say, but it depends on Li Yong's reaction. After seeing Li Yong's reaction, he could determine whether he should continue to say it. If Li Yong chose this plan, then he naturally didn't need to say anything more, because it would be in vain to say more.
"Ten years and twenty years? I have been the prince for twenty years. I have been careful enough to accumulate strength over the years, but my father still treats me like this. What's wrong with me being loyal to the empire over the years? I'm not wrong, it's absolutely impossible to make an apology... I'll give up this matter, forget it." Li Yong vetoed this matter without thinking.
He had been waiting for too long, and he could no longer wait. Moreover, he had been squeezing for too long, suppressing for too long, and he didn't want to continue to suppress it, and continued to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle. He no longer wanted to do this, so he rejected the proposal...
"Then do you want to choose to kill the third prince and Bai Qi, destroy the opponent, and then be your own emperor safely? If that's the case... Then I also have a suggestion that killing Bai Qi is not easy. You must know that Bai Qi has millions of soldiers and horses, and he is far away from Jialan, and there are countless masters around him. Not to mention that just a seven-star Douhuang Lewis is enough to make us surrender. There is no way. Our people are not opponents under Bai Qi at all. It's a fool to kill Bai Qi. His strength is too powerful. If you want to kill him, you must first deprive him of his military power and then send generals.
Bai Qi surrounds and kills him. It is not too late to kill him after you become the emperor. However, as far as I know, there are no masters around the third prince Li Xunhuan. If you want to kill him, it is not a matter of being trapped. We can find a master to kill the third prince. Even if our people are not good, we can hire the masters of Yanyulou to kill Li Xunhuan. Those killers of Yanyulou must have this ability. Although it may be a bit unsuccessful to kill Bai Qi, Li Xunhuan can definitely... But... there are also disadvantages if you do this... that is, if you kill the third prince Li Xunhuan, then Your Majesty and Bai Qi will doubt it.
Your, Bai Qi won’t say much. Although everyone knows that Bai Qi is the best friend of the third prince, he is a minister after all. You are the prince and he can’t do anything to you. At most, you can take action secretly. As long as you protect yourself, there will be nothing wrong. Unless he, Bai Qi rebelled, it is basically impossible to take revenge. But trouble is with Your Majesty. If the third prince is killed, everyone knows that you must have taken action. After all, you are the most suspicious. Your Majesty will know that your Majesty’s attitude was hard to say at that time. Although you won’t kill you to avenge the third prince, you may be deposed.
Position, eradicate your power. After all, everyone knows His Majesty’s favor for the Third Prince. Once the Third Prince has something to do, it is difficult to guarantee what His Majesty will do. So if we do this, the consequences will be too serious and it is difficult to grasp. No one knows what His Majesty will do, and no one knows what Bai Qi will do. I personally do not agree with this matter. If you insist on choosing this, then I can’t do it." The prince’s confidant said everything in his heart. He said such a lot of words, which made people feel dizzy.
But no matter what the purpose of his words was, what the meaning of his words was, it is undeniable that he considered it very comprehensively. Obviously, after careful consideration, he definitely did not say it randomly. He expressed the benefits and disadvantages of this matter, and directly expressed his opinion... This showed his meaning...
After he said this, Prince Li Yong was also stunned and frowned. This suggestion was obviously not something that could be chosen. There was almost no benefit except understanding hatred. Instead, it would make himself very passive. Not to mention that his subordinates did not agree with it, he even did not agree with it. So after hearing this, Prince Li Yong shook his head and sighed and said, "Then what about the other one you said? You should have something else... If I want to be the emperor, what can you do? Or is it a suggestion?"
"Of course there is. In fact, what I like most is this. I just see if you dare or not, do you think about it?" The confidant smiled slightly, looked at the prince Li Yong in front of him and whispered. When he said this, he raised his head and looked at Prince Li Yong secretly. Obviously, what he wanted to say next was a bit ruthless, a little shocking, making him dare not say it casually, so he said so much nonsense, so that the prince understood the power of it before he could say what he wanted to say the most in his heart.
"If you say anything, just say it. Of course, I want to do it, and I definitely have to do it. I don't allow others to inherit the throne. I don't dare to do anything for the throne. Just say it." The face of Prince Li Yong changed, and then said coldly. A hint of fanaticism and perseverance flashed in his eyes when he said this. Obviously, Li Yong is already a little crazy now.
Li Yong's crazy eyes made the subordinates around him a little scared, but the person who started talking had a gleam in his eyes, and even said excitedly in his slightly trembling voice: "This is actually very simple. As long as you dare to do it, nothing is impossible. This idea, in fact, the governors from the south had already told you a year ago, but you were not very willing at that time, but now you seem to have no way out. This is your best choice."
"What! What do you say! What do you mean to make me rebel!" Prince Li Yong's face suddenly changed after hearing this, stood up and said loudly, his tone was full of horror, and even a little trembling. When the audience around him heard this, they unconsciously took a breath of air conditioning...
Rebellion is not just a joke, it is a serious crime. Once successful, it will naturally be successful. However, if it fails, it will inevitably be a different person. In the Immortal Dynasty, it is even a serious crime of raiding the family. Even if the prince Li Yong is discovered if he dares to do this, the whole family will also be killed. If it were not forbidden, no one would choose this at will.
"Your Highness, you should know the situation now better than anyone else. Your Majesty has wanted to abolish you. He has already thought about it. Today he has said it in front of so many people. This has shown his meaning. He is determined to abolish you. If you don't resist, you will probably have no chance. Bai Qi's power is getting bigger and bigger, and he supports the third prince. He now has four or five million troops in his hands, and His Majesty has sent him a legion, which is a total of thirty legions. Most of the troops in the six million empire are in his hands. With the support of Your Majesty and Bai Qi, your position is already in danger. If you don't fight back, you will definitely have no chance when Bai Qi comes back.
No, if Bai Qi makes any contribution, it is impossible for you to resist at that time, so now is your last chance. If you want to be an emperor, then you can only start preparing now, start to take action as soon as possible, kill Your Majesty, and become the imperial emperor. Before Bai Qi fully grasps the army, before Bai Qi pacifies the north, remove Bai Qi's military power and kill the third prince. Otherwise, you will have no chance. Do you want the third prince and Bai Qi to ride on your head forever? Are you willing to be a leisurely prince who swallows his anger?" The subordinate said this to Li Xunhuan in front of him with agitated words, and looked at Li Yong's face while saying this.
