“Although some of the people on this list are directly under my name, they were named by father.” The prince gritted his teeth and told the real reason why so many people were included.
"What did you say?" Xu Tianze stood up in shock.
Although he had always thought that there was something wrong with these people, he only thought about the Crown Prince's level, and never thought that it was the will of His Majesty.
Is His Majesty really senile? He actually added so many people, and they all hold important positions as high-ranking officials. Once the list is made public, they will all be condemned by the public.
It would be fine if it was just him, after all, he is just a dying man, but the prince as the crown prince will also have to bear the responsibility, King Xian and King Jing will also be infamous for eternity, and Song Yu's Zhenguo Mansion will no longer have any glory.
Foreign enemies are already eyeing the country covetously. If the Great Gan Kingdom is unstable, they will definitely destroy its foundation. This is something he understands, and he doesn't believe that Emperor Gan, as an emperor, would not understand this.
"Prince, do you know that once you dare to tell this, you will be the one to take the blame? And why are you telling the truth now?" Xu Tianze questioned the prince with murderous eyes.
Only now did he realize that he and his friends had been plotting against each other the entire time. Since the prince knew about this, he must have been prepared for it. Even if he couldn't escape unscathed, he could probably protect himself.
"Brother Xu, do you really think that I don't understand? If I really don't care about you, why would I invite you here so late at night?" Although the prince looked a little unnatural, he also defended himself.
He would not admit that he had originally wanted to drag the time to the end and then submit it without possibility of change.
However, after arriving at the door of the upper study, he suddenly realized that he was being plotted against by his good father, so he left directly and invited Xu Tianze.
After all, Emperor Gan is still in power. How could an emperor who is well versed in the art of checks and balances allow the Eastern Palace to dominate the world? If that happens, Xu Tianze and others will probably be in trouble, and he will lose his life.
Xu Tianze did not believe what the prince said, but he could understand some of the truth in it.
Since the matter had not yet been resolved, he could only suppress his anger and ponder. After a long while, he slowly asked, "What's so special about those people up there?"
The prince probably sent people to investigate the moment the name was filled in, so there must be some clues to be found.
The prince hesitated for a while, and finally thought of his current situation. He sighed and said, "Those people are secretly connected with the harem, and the people in the Queen's Palace have the most contact."
"No wonder Your Highness is so reluctant to reveal it. It turns out he still wants to cover up something." Xu Tianze had a sinister smile on his face.
He asked why the prince would rather take the risk himself than reveal too much. It turned out that the root of the problem was that he knew that his only son could not handle it, so he dragged him into it.
However, the prince's words also made Xu Tianze's heart surge. The clues he had obtained before pointed to the concubine, but now it has become the queen.
The waters of the harem are unfathomable. I don’t know whether Your Majesty is deliberately letting it go or is being kept in the dark.
"From the list of people, remove one-third of your portion, and then you and I will go to see His Majesty together." Xu Tianze thought about it and directly stated the countermeasures.
He can take the blame, but not too much. As for the affairs of the harem, he doesn't want to get involved too much. It is better for him to have less trouble than more.
"What do you want?" The prince originally wanted to ridicule Xu Tianze for having more than just clues about the queen, but when Xu Tianze changed the subject, he had a guess in his mind.
Xu Tianze nodded, indicating that the prince was right: "Tell someone to bring another table of delicious food."
Only after eating a full meal can I have the energy to compete with that old bastard. As for the little bastard in front of me, there will be many opportunities to use him in the future, so let him go today.
The prince didn't say anything and immediately asked someone to clean up and serve the food. He then picked up the list and thought about which names he should remove.
Eunuch Quan was dozing off outside the hall. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew by and he shivered uncontrollably.
I subconsciously looked around and vaguely saw two figures walking towards me. I thought they were the guards who were changing rooms, so I didn't pay any attention and closed my eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he suddenly remembered that among the blurry figures just now, one of them was dressed in yellow. He opened his eyes and saw Xu Tianze and the prince.
His expression changed and he was about to knock on the door to wake up Emperor Gan.
"Eunuch, it's so late, isn't it not appropriate to disturb His Majesty directly?" Xu Tianze quickly grabbed Eunuch Quan's shoulders and said in a cold voice.
Eunuch Quan shuddered, then turned and looked awkwardly at Xu Tianze and the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, Lord Xu, is there something important going on at this late hour?"
As he spoke, he saw Xiaozhanzi beside the prince holding a suona and standing obediently behind the prince. His face twitched.
"Your Majesty... Um..." Eunuch Quan turned around and was about to shout at the top of his lungs, but Xu Tianze covered his mouth directly.
The prince signaled Xiaozhanzi with his eyes, and Xiaozhanzi lifted the suona tremblingly and put it to his lips.
Mom, my son has made great progress. I will go down to accompany you in a while.
After being mentally prepared, Xiaozhanzi started playing the suona with a fearless attitude.
When the suona sounds, it can either mean ascending to heaven or worshipping in the hall, or it can directly "inspire" people's hearts.
The eunuchs and maids were awakened immediately. Some fell down, some kowtowed, and some bumped into vases, followed by a series of crackling sounds.
Monkie arrived here with his fully equipped guards, exuding a solemn and murderous aura. He was a little surprised to see Xu Tianze and the prince standing there. He glanced at Xiaozhanzi, who was still playing the suona beside him and had a strange look on his face.
"Brother Meng, it's okay, it's okay. Just let me put down my weapons." After Xu Tianze signaled Xiaozhanzi to stop, he greeted Meng Qi with a smile.
It was like asking if you had eaten, and he had no awareness that he had done anything ridiculous.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Xu. Xiaoze, are you crazy? If you act so recklessly, even I can't protect you." After paying his respects, Monk Qi pulled Xu Tianze aside and scolded him.
Xu Tianze saw that although there was worry in Monk's eyes, there was also a sense of disappointment, so he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.
He also knew what Brother Meng was worried about, so he didn't argue. He just lowered his head and smiled as Monk scolded him.
"As for you, forget it. I'll plead for you later. Whether it works or not is up to fate." Seeing Xu Tianze still grinning foolishly, Meng Qi froze and felt helpless.
He could imagine how angry the emperor would be in a while. When the emperor was angry, millions of people would die. His official position had reached the end of its career, and he didn't know if he could save Xiaoze's life.
The prince looked at Monkie and Xu Tianze not far away with some curiosity. He didn't know that the commander of the guards, who always had a cold face, could have such an expressive day.
But he focused more on Xu Tianze. He was really curious about Xu Tianze. What kind of charm did this man have that could make so many geniuses willingly help him?
