Chapter 673: Failed to Seize the Throne (16)

Let's talk about the invincible lucky star, the five princes.

After he was hit by a pie falling from the sky and almost went crazy with laughter, he immediately listened to the advice of the governor of the palace and began to spend a huge amount of silver to hire a veteran warrior with some ability to act as his family guard, and protect him into the capital to meet Emperor Kangwei.

After all, he's not stupid.

It is clear that the pie that fell from the sky is not so easy to eat, and he has to return to the capital alive to be able to eat the pie smoothly, if he dies halfway, then everything will be empty.

However, he had limited money in his hand, and at the same time, the number of family guards he could have was also limited, and when he set off, Emperor Kangwei had not yet had an accident, and not many people dared to do things for those princes who had just been imprisoned and abolished.

So the first two days were safe.

It also made them let their guard down a little.

However, then Conway Emperor was dying.

Some of the original cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods naturally began to emerge, and those who were imprisoned were not completely desperate, especially the two princes whose bodies were not damaged, naturally couldn't help but have some ideas, wanting to fight again, anyway, they didn't want to live this kind of life of being confined to death, rather than being confined in the house and waiting for old death, it was better to try to fight again.

If you lose, it's a big deal to die.

If you win, you will be on the throne.

So, the five princes are not miserable.

When he was less than a hundred miles away from the capital, he was attacked by several bandits disguised as bandits, and only twice, the warriors he hired were already dead and fled.

At this time, the fifth prince didn't even know what was going on in the capital, let alone that his father was dying, so he could only quickly disguise each other with the few guards under him, wanting to disguise himself as ordinary people first, and then talk about it after entering the capital.

However, he didn't know that among his personal guards were the people installed by the prince in the past.

The prince wanted to kill him a few years ago.

But who knew that he was driven out of the capital by Emperor Kangwei because of alcoholism, and the prince thought that he had no threat at that time, so he did not continue to do it, but now, the five princes who were returning to the capital were obviously very threatening, so when the abolished prince knew that the palace had decided to set up the five princes as the new emperor, he immediately flew a pigeon and sent a message to that subordinate, asking him to kill the five princes.

Previously, there were more guards around the five princes, and that person was not sure that he would kill with one blow.

That's why I didn't do it.

waited until the people around the five princes were all dead and ran, and only a few of them were left, and then they officially started.

Although the fifth prince is not stupid and sweet, but because his mother died early, and his uncle's family has no strength, he is not as good as other princes in all aspects, whether it is the size of the power in his hands or his own degree of caution, he is not as good as those princes, plus he has never felt that his personal guards will have problems.

So there is no defense at all.

He was killed in the inn in the middle of the night.

A knife on the neck.

By the time the other personal guards heard the sound and broke into the house, the five princes' tracheas had been cut, and there was no chance of survival.

……

Three days later

The ministers did not welcome the five princes into the palace, only the corpses of the five princes were welcomed into the palace, although Qiao Mu was not very flustered, but he still frowned, feeling that many things were out of her control and were going in an unpredictable direction.

When the ministers continued to discuss who of the remaining princes could take on the important task, it was really not possible to choose one of the emperor's grandsons to inherit the throne.

Qiao Mu had already left the Zichen Palace.

left Zichen Hall with his personal maid, and returned to the Qian'an Palace where he lived now, leaving the other waiters around him.

Very eagerly asked An Nan:

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that my father didn't agree, or that something had happened? ”

"Niangniang, the master did agree, and at the same time sent a lot of people to greet the five princes.

But it was too late for those people to go.

At that time, although the five princes were not dead, they had already disguised themselves, and the men sent by the lord spent a lot of time looking for the five princes, and when they were found, the five princes had already been assassinated.

We're a step too late. ”

An Nan still replied very calmly.

At this time, Qiao Mu felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then recalled the recent events and the memories in the original body's mind, and suddenly gasped: "Does my father have an idea?" ”

"Niangniang, what do you mean by that?"

An Nan was stunned for a moment, but asked in a flash.

"Although the speed of my message transmission is not particularly fast, it is definitely not slow, if my father really wants to save the fifth prince, he can definitely save it, don't tell me that he is incapable?

So, does he have other ideas?

For example, usurpation?

yes, that's a good idea.

Emperor Kangwei was first rebelled by four or five princes, which shows that he was definitely not a good father, and later he was attacked by those rare beasts in the Treasure Garden, which can also be attributed to the fact that he was disgusted by heaven and earth, or disgusted by beasts.

And that's ......."

Although Qiao Mu never had the idea of seeking a dynasty to usurp the throne at the beginning, but now, Qiao Mu can't help but feel that this seems to be a very good idea.

"Niangniang, you, don't you object?"

An Nan asked in surprise.

"Why should I object, what does it matter if this imperial concubine is not appropriate, if my father can really usurp the throne successfully, then how can I also be an eldest princess, you tell me when my father started planning.

What's next?

Is there anything I can help with?

Now that the inner courtyard of this palace is basically under my control, even if he leads the troops in immediately, I can open the door for him, and if the inside and the outside are combined......"

Qiao Mu is really not used to being subject to a lot of constraints in everything now, if her father really wants to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne, then she will definitely raise her hands to welcome, although it is also good to be the queen mother who can listen to the government, but how can it be comfortable to be the eldest princess as the queen mother, who is not a little princess.

And the original body is not very old.

If only the plot to usurp the throne succeeds.

Maybe you can find a little fresh meat in front of you.

Isn't it beautiful?

"Mother, I can't say anything about this.

Why don't you meet with the master in the secret passage tonight and discuss it in person? ”

An Nan definitely has no right to say this kind of major event directly, so he can only say that he will pass the news to the Duke of Yasukuni, and then ask the Duke of Yasukuni to come over at night to discuss with Qiao Mu about the specific plot to usurp the throne.
