Chapter 939: Stealing the Throne

Liu Daowen really had a guilty conscience.

Chen Guanlou had already left, but he was still sweating.

That day he didn't dare to move, he was worried that the Chen surname would kill him a carbine, so he honestly burned incense and recited scriptures in the temple.

Early the next morning, he hurried down the mountain to find someone in the villa.

"Don't go out recently. Someone has started to suspect this old monk, and even linked me with you. The disappearance of your personal guard, I said long ago, no one paid attention to it at the beginning, that's because there were too many people and things, and they were too busy. Once they are identified one by one and the matter is sorted out, you group of people will have to be forced to surface."

"Just stay in the villa and don't go out?"

"It's not that I don't go out, this is all temporary. I have to go and inquire, something must have happened to Marquis Pingjiang's side, otherwise that person wouldn't have secretly come to the Northwest. People in the capital also have to move. Marquis Pingjiang and the capital are one, he has something to do, the capital cannot be peaceful. If planned properly, maybe we can turn from dark to light and get an opportunity. In short, before things are clear, be safe."

"Do you need to ask about the heir's passing?"

"The Prince had already abandoned the heir long ago, so there is no need to ask about the heir's passing. You remember, from now on, your master is only the young master."

Everyone thought that after the Prince of Cheng passed away, the Prince of Cheng's family, including children and grandchildren, were all sent to the capital without exception, and there were no fish that slipped through the net. Whoever is registered on the list, check one by one, it can't be wrong.

Unexpectedly, when the Prince of Cheng decided to rebel, he made arrangements. He secretly had children outside. Before he died, all those who knew the truth were silenced. Including the child's mother, the child's mother's family, without exception.

No one expected that the former big corrupt official, the greedy and fearful Liu Daowen, actually became the candidate for the Prince of Cheng's entrustment. And after the Prince of Cheng died, he faithfully executed the Prince of Cheng's orders without a trace of betrayal.

No one has ever equated corrupt officials with loyalty.

Liu Daowen did it.

And the Prince of Cheng's choice was also quite bold.

Chen Guanlou just opened his brain hole, guessed it casually, who could have thought that his brain hole would be on the same frequency as the dead Prince of Cheng, and guessed the truth all at once.

This kind of thing that can't be made up, but it was guessed right.

No wonder Liu Daowen was so scared, he hurried down the mountain to make arrangements to deal with the possible crisis.

Chen Guanlou didn't know what happened in the Northwest.

After returning to the capital, he handed over the errand, conveyed the eldest master's words, and took the money and prepared to leave.

The chief steward asked him to leave later, and set up a banquet to entertain him. "Did the eldest master really mention the city gate army?"

"Regarding the old lady's poisoning, the eldest master is very sure that it must be done by the city gate army. The Brocade Uniform Guard doesn't have the ability to poison the Marquis's mansion without anyone knowing. Only the city gate army, ambushing the Marquis's mansion, generation after generation."

"Could it be that someone from the city gate army has mixed into the servants of the Marquis's mansion?" The chief steward was shocked, and he had already decided to investigate the servants in the mansion.

This is too scary!

If a certain servant is really an eye of the city gate army buried in the Marquis's mansion, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

"You have to investigate this yourself. You didn't make things difficult for Mu Yiguan Mu, how is the old lady's body?"

"Don't worry, Mu Yiguan Mu has already returned. The old lady's body, alas... you should prepare too, there is not much time left."

"Really no rescue?"

"If she were ten or twenty years younger, maybe there would be rescue. At such an old age, she can only listen to fate. This morning, the palace arranged for imperial physicians to see the old lady, and the heir refused."

"Can this work?"

"Why not! Why the old lady is seriously ill, others don't know, can the one in the palace not know. He is hypocritical, so don't blame the Marquis's mansion for not giving face."

Chen Guanlou reminded in a low voice: "Emperor Jian Shi is very stingy. Looking at his attitude towards Prince Jin and Prince Cheng, he knows that he is someone who cannot tolerate people, and even cannot tolerate dead people. Be careful that he holds a grudge and gives the Marquis's mansion small shoes to wear."

"The old lady is like this, do you think the Marquis's mansion is still afraid of being given small shoes. At this time, if the Marquis's mansion is blindly obedient, it is falling into the lower class. Appropriate counterattack, the other party will know how to restrain."

The chief steward said more and more angrily, more and more angry.

The Marquis's mansion has been bullied to this point, how many years has this kind of thing not happened.

When the first emperor was there, he still paid attention to decency, and things were done in a roundabout way, such as finding Jiang Tu as a thug.

Changing to Emperor Jian Shi, he didn't even want his face, and actually played the poisoning hand directly. Completely ignoring the rules of the game, actively destroying the order and rules established and maintained by the ruler and subject for hundreds of years.

Absurd!

How can such a person be a ruler!

Between ruler and subject, there are some invisible, but indeed existing unspoken rules, and there is a bottom line!

Everyone keeps the bottom line, so they can maintain the peace of the court and the peace of the world.

Whoever breaks the bottom line first will be backlashed!

"Are you sure he will know how to restrain? Since he became Emperor, he has changed his past good impression of tolerance, humility, and good at accepting advice, doing whatever he wants, willful and arrogant. I suddenly understand a little bit why the first emperor wanted to abolish him. I guess the first emperor saw through his true face long ago. Unfortunately, the time was not good, and he finally stole the throne."

Alas!

The chief steward sighed, and it seemed that there was a taste of regret.

"Everyone misread him. No one expected that he had such a city government and such deep calculations. Even the first emperor, the first emperor who shook the court for fifty years, was calculated. Hahaha... what White Lotus Sect... it's just coaxing some village fools."

The first emperor had many shortcomings and many problems, but the first emperor would abide by the bottom line of ruler and subject and would not do mean things like poisoning.

A court official can die standing, die kneeling, die in the Zhao Yu, or die in the Heavenly Prison; in any case, they know clearly how they die. The only thing they don't have to worry about is being secretly poisoned to death by someone!

Poisoning means uncertainty, full of conspiracy, making people hard to guard against, worried, everyone is in danger, the ruler is not the ruler, the subject is not the subject. It is completely destroying the good ecological environment of ruler and subject, and destroying the peace and harmony of society.

The courtiers wanted to kill the first emperor countless times, but they never thought about taking poisoning means.

As a result...

Actually, from the way the first emperor died, the courtiers should have been vigilant.

Unfortunately, the court was chaotic at that time, and no one noticed these details.

Now that they see Emperor Jian Shi's true face, it is already too late!

Prince Yan is dead, Prince Jin is dead.

Emperor Jian Shi's two big rivals are all dead.

Prince Cheng is dead, and next is Prince Chu...

Could it be that Emperor Jian Shi really has the mandate of heaven?

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice.

Whether it is the mandate of heaven or not, it has nothing to do with character.

It depends entirely on strength and luck.

"The future is an eventful autumn, you serve in the Heavenly Prison, be careful. The Marquis's mansion will also be busy!" ===== CHAPTER 940 =====
