Once all the secrets were revealed to his younger brother or in the court, the country of Dagan would be in turmoil, and his position as the crown prince would be over.
If it were any other royal family member, they would have handled this kind of thing privately behind closed doors, but he insisted on making it public.
The queen was also a smart person. How could her son be so stupid? If the queen and the Nan family had not been keeping a close eye on the prince, she would have suspected that the prince had been replaced by someone long ago.
"My royal brother, please consider which of these people can stay." The wise king sighed and looked at the prince with complicated eyes.
He still overestimated his royal brother's intelligence. When he still cared about power, how stupid he was to think of all kinds of calculations on how to drive people out of the Eastern Palace.
It was such a waste of his countless sleepless nights.
"Brother, are you planning to send my second brother and I down to earth in one fell swoop?" Long Musi's mouth twitched, and he looked incredulous.
This is really because he is old and has all kinds of weird things. How could he think that such a fool would be his ultimate opponent?
Song Yu didn't say anything, but just silently picked up the teacup and drank the tea one sip after another. He didn't argue with the fool. He was just a fool, so don't be angry.
"Aunt, how can you say that to your nephew? And why are you all so sarcastic in your words?" The prince felt a little aggrieved. He was obviously the victim, but why did he act like the culprit?
"You let me make the decision, but after I said it, you are not happy about it. So what do you want to do?" The prince threw the paper in his hand directly onto the table.
He looks like he's throwing a tantrum. What he says doesn't count anyway, so what else can he say? Just follow his instructions and avoid getting scolded.
The prince's behavior silenced the eldest princess and the others. After they left, they would never admit that they knew this idiot, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"Prince, you can just withdraw half of the people here and choose someone." Xu Tianze slowly put down the teacup, throwing the answer directly in the prince's face.
If the prince continues to act like this, there won't be enough time for repairs.
"How about adding a little more?" The prince looked a little conflicted when he heard Xu Tianze's words, and wanted to test whether he could leave fewer.
Withdrawing only half means withdrawing at least half. I don’t know if withdrawing more is possible, but withdrawing less is definitely not possible.
But with so many people above him, the prince was really struggling about who to keep and who to send to his father.
Xu Tianze looked at the prince expressionlessly, neither saying anything good nor bad.
What a joke. He was waiting for the prince to take the blame later. There was no chance for bargaining. Besides, he didn't believe that the prince was doing this not to eliminate dissidents, but the number of people was just too many.
After a long while, the prince gave up and helplessly picked up the list on the table and the pen that had just been handed to him. He began to mark the list, muttering:
"Really? There are only these disobedient dogs. What's the point of keeping them around? Now His Highness has to clean up their messes."
"Your Highness, you'd better make the decision quickly. We have other things to discuss right now." Song Yu rolled his eyes helplessly. It was just a matter of whether to leave his name or not, so why was he dragging his feet?
Originally, when Long Musi asked him to join forces, he was a little hesitant, thinking that the prince might be an option. Now it seems that it is better to join forces with a smart person.
Otherwise, you will not be afraid of god-like opponents but pig-like opponents.
"Okay, okay, why are you rushing me? It seems that you are outnumbered." After deliberating for a long time, the prince finally made a decision. He raised his head and glared at Song Yu.
This is really outrageous. It's okay that his two royal brothers and aunt scolded him, but why did Song Yu start to look down on them? He really doesn't know who is the big and small king.
After Song Yu and the others had gone through all the names on the list, Xu Tianze picked up the list and handed it directly to Yin Liu.
"Go to the side and copy all these lists onto a piece of paper. Remember to make five copies."
Yin Liu took the list handed to her by Xu Tianze and obediently walked to a chair nearby to copy it.
"Who will deliver this list of people? Let me make it clear first, I will not go. After all, I have the most people above me, so I should avoid suspicion." The prince leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest.
If he submits this list, he will definitely be scolded. It would be better for him to just stand back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. As for the others, he can forget about it.
The prince's idea of taking benefits and then letting everything else go is good, but he has to get their consent, otherwise it will be impossible.
Long Musi signaled to the virtuous prince and Song Yu with his eyes. Seeing the two nodded imperceptibly, he began to attack the crown prince first: "My royal brother is the eldest son, so it is natural for my royal brother to take on such an important task."
Having said that, Long Musi's face showed respect, and he quickly bowed to the prince.
The prince was extremely unhappy to see Long Musi like this. He was the eldest son when there was something wrong, but the useless prince was the last one to be defeated.
They had met many times since they were young, but he had never seen his third brother be so respectful to him. He used to be timid and disrespectful to him.
Now that you've been promoted by Xu Tianze and caught the emperor's eye, you're starting to show respect to him, right?
That's really great. Don't you even consider whether Long Muwang will buy it or not?
"If you are talking about the eldest son, it is better to find one that the emperor likes. I see that the third prince has been favored by the emperor recently. Why don't you let the third prince send this list." The prince rolled his eyes, and the intention on his face was very obvious.
"The third brother's mother's family is weak and cannot be compared to the Empress who is the mother of the country. It would be more appropriate for the emperor's brother to go." The wise king slowly interrupted.
Although he didn't like Long Musi who was always eyeing Aze covetously, the prince's greedy manners were too ugly, and he didn't want to let the prince get the advantage easily.
"My queen mother is the mistress of the harem, and she naturally has majesty. However, meddling in government affairs is a serious crime. If my second brother is not afraid, why not let the Concubine Shu go and hand in the list?" The prince had a gloomy face. They all started to attack him at the beginning.
He is not very smart, but he is not stupid. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to ask him to deliver it?
The Crown Prince, the Wise King, and Long Musi all exchanged a few moves, shutting up the conversation, and then looked at Song Yu, who had not yet spoken, as if waiting for Song Yu to attack.
Song Yu's scalp tightened when he saw this. He just touched his nose awkwardly and turned his gaze to Xu Tianze.
The real boss is here. Ozawa disagrees. Even if you confront everyone, it's useless.
The prince understood Song Yu's intention and turned around with a look of frustration. "Xu Tianze, what exactly do you mean? Why are you all staring at me? Or is this what you mean?"
