And since he was born by the empress, he is the only direct son of the emperor now, so he should take on this important responsibility.

It's a pity that because he showed his feet too early, the rest of the princes present couldn't give him a chance to continue talking nonsense. The second prince grabbed him and knew about the emergency report in advance, and once accused him, a charge of trying to force the palace to usurp the throne was confirmed to him.

Xue Cheng was a discerning man, and after the second prince gave an order, he ordered someone to take the sixth prince.

The paralyzed emperor glared at the sixth prince, his eyes full of disappointment and questioning. The sixth prince's psychological quality was poor, and he broke the defense the moment he was pierced. At this moment, he had almost no self-sustaining power, and he complained to the emperor:

"It is clear that the fourth brother is your best son. He is your direct son. Why do you prefer to choose Yu Jingdu, who was born from a concubine?" You will die! You killed the queen mother!"

The second prince on the side reminded in a cold voice: "Sixth brother, the empress died because you made a slip of the tongue and said that the former prince was abolished."

"If the father hadn't insisted on abolishing the fourth brother, how could I have leaked? How could the mother die?" the sixth prince cried.

He has a simple mind, and since he was spoiled by the queen since childhood, he has no discernment in many things.

When the former prince was not deposed, he was just a happy young man who didn't know anything.

But since Yu Jingdu came to the capital, he first angered the emperor and was sentenced to go to the suburbs of Beijing to plant land for several months, and then the former prince suffered a series of accidents. Soon after, the prince was abolished and the queen passed away. This series of blows had already left him devastated.

In fact, the former prince had reminded him more than once that he should be a man with his tail tucked in, not to provoke Jingdu.

Because the former prince knew that his younger brother could not be used for a lot, it would be good to save his life.

But the sixth prince was not convinced, so he wanted to give it a try.

"General Xue, please send someone to escort the sixth brother first, don't disturb the father and emperor here." The second prince said.

When Xue Cheng heard the words, he raised his hand, and the guards immediately dragged the sixth prince away.

The sixth prince was taken away, but the questions he raised were still there.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill, and the urgent report also mentions that the prince has already died for the country, the top priority is that the DPRK really needs a backbone.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but no one at the scene mentioned the authenticity of the emergency report. The fifth prince glanced at Xue Cheng, as if he wanted to say something, but he glanced at everyone present, and finally swallowed the words.

Now in this situation, whether the emergency report is true or false is not the most important thing.

Because Yu Jingdu was not in the capital and his people were unstable, no one knew what would happen next.

The wisest choice for those who don't want to stir up trouble right now is to try to protect themselves as much as possible.

Everyone had their own concerns, and no one even cared about where the Eighth Prince went.

"Prince Rui, you have always been highly respected among your clansmen, and you are also a person trusted by Your Majesty. For today's affairs, please give a charter for the time being." Xue Cheng bowed to Prince Rui.

The Prince Rui in his mouth was the emperor's elder brother and the old prince who held a flower viewing banquet at home not long ago. This person has never been ambitious, and his only hobby is to serve flowers and plants, so the emperor has been quite close to him over the years.

It's a pity that Xue Cheng forgot that the reason why this Prince Rui was able to be close to the emperor was because his temperament had no edges and corners. As long as he is a little bit sharp, it is impossible for him to stay in the capital so comfortably for so many years.

"This..." Prince Rui glanced at the situation in the hall and couldn't help but raised his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

As soon as the sixth prince left, only the first prince, the second prince, the fifth prince and the seventh prince were left in the palace.

The Seventh Prince was so young that he was terrified at the moment, and he only knew how to cry when he knelt on the ground.

The second prince, who was in charge of the overall situation just now, although he was quite responsible, unfortunately he was disabled since childhood and was not good at walking. He had to rely on a wooden wheelchair all day to go out, and it was difficult to even stand.

The only ones left were the eldest prince and the fifth prince.

Because Prince Rui is not involved in political affairs, he doesn't know much about these two princes.

More importantly, in today's situation, he doesn't know if there are other experts behind it. If he rashly expresses his position, but does not guard against anyone who is present, then his opening may cause big trouble.

In other words, what if one of them has colluded with Xue Cheng?

Prince Rui, who grew up in the palace since childhood, has not learned other skills, but his ability to protect himself is not small. He hesitated for a while, but he didn't say a word of insight except that he wanted the imperial physicians to properly treat His Majesty's dragon body.

Later, the first prince opened his mouth.

"Commander Xue, please order someone to temporarily block the gate of the palace, and do not publicize the serious illness of the father and the death of His Royal Highness the crown prince, so as not to cause turmoil." The eldest prince said to Xue Cheng.

Xue Cheng was busy when he heard the words.

"Uncle Huang, please take your second brother to appease the clan members and honors who came to the palace banquet." The eldest prince said, "I will guard here with the fifth and seventh brothers."

When Prince Rui heard the words, he took the second prince and left the hall.

The fifth prince, who was left behind, looked at his nose and nose, and did not express any opinion on his arrangement.

The sixth prince is the direct son, and the eldest prince is the eldest son. In this matter, they have a reason to fight.

The fifth prince is different. He knows his weight well, so he didn't plan to go into this muddy water from the beginning.

The emperor on the couch closed his eyes tiredly, his heart was cold.

He thought that everything would get better after that idiot Liu Liu showed his tricks.

But now he realizes that he has always underestimated his son.

His eldest son did not seem to have done anything wrong, but he never mentioned the authenticity of the urgent report, and insisted that the prince died for his country.

If things take a turn for the better in the future, he can use a moment of negligence to prevaricate the past.
