When Prince Cheng returned to Anyang Prefecture, he found that something had happened at the stone mine. Someone had killed the government officials and rescued Yokoyama Ichiro and the masked man.
Wu Yong had no doubt that it was definitely the work of the Yokoyama mother and her two daughters.
I had initially thought Yokoyama was plotting something, but now I understand. These Japanese pirates wanted to poison the emperor and put the Ming King on the throne. The Ming King was so stupid that even if he became emperor, he would only be a puppet emperor. The Jin Dynasty would then fall into Yokoyama's hands.
"That little bastard Ming Wang, that unfilial son, actually took a female Japanese pirate as a concubine. One day he might not even know how he died in the middle of the night. Very well, I want to see how they plan to take my throne."
Ming Wang and Hengshan thought they were being very discreet, but in fact, their conspiracy had long been exposed by Zhu Lin, who informed the emperor. Now the emperor was just waiting for them to take the bait so he could catch them all in one fell swoop.
However, Mingwang and Yokoyama were unaware that their plan had been exposed. Yokoyama Eiko even had her own ulterior motives, which she didn't even tell Yokoyama Chiyo. She planned to handle things herself.
So he secretly had Prince Ming send out invitations to all the princes who had left the palace to establish their own residences, inviting them to Prince Ming's residence. Prince Ming's relationship with these younger brothers was neither good nor bad, so it was a bit strange that he suddenly invited all his brothers to have a drink together, but the princes did not dare to offend him.
After the eldest prince was deposed, the third prince was the oldest and had the best chance of being made crown prince. As for the second prince, there was no need to mention him; he was short-lived and died at the age of five from a cold.
He was a clever and quick-witted prince, but unfortunately his birth mother was of low birth, a palace maid. After the second prince passed away, his mother also hanged herself and followed him in death.
After Yokoyama Eiko had the Prince of Ming invite all the princes to her residence, she secretly put drugs in their drinks and even their food. These drugs would not cause any problems if taken separately, but if taken together, they would be poisonous.
She controlled the dosage of the medicine, waiting for the princes to return to their residences after eating and drinking. She would wait another two hours for the poison to take effect, at which point they would all die. Once all the princes were dead, the throne would be firmly in the hands of the Prince Ming.
When the Ming King became emperor, she became empress.
