Chapter 490 The Wen Family’s Bold Idea
The old emperor was old and suspicious. How could he tolerate it when he knew that one of his sons was planning to train private soldiers and rebel?
I can't stand it at all!
Of course, the Wen family has to handle this matter well, clear themselves and Wen Mingzhi of all blame, and even take a little credit.
The reason why I couldn't touch everything was that I didn't want the old emperor to think about these things and feel disgusted.
In short, the operation is not difficult, but for the cunning aristocratic families, it is just a matter of discussion among a few counselors.
"Now that Old Nine has gone to guard the imperial mausoleum, his power has been disintegrated. I have been promoted to a higher position and now live alone in the palace, which is relatively stable."
"The Queen now thinks more highly of me because of this incident. After all, I helped the Crown Prince eliminate a rival lurking in the shadows."
…
Although the old emperor was extremely angry, the ninth prince was still a newborn son after all.
Moreover, he does not have many descendants compared to the previous emperor.
Therefore, it is not a good time to shout for war and killing.
After the truth was finally revealed, the Ninth Prince was simply sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.
"Your Majesty is concerned about the relationship between father and son and is reluctant to kill him, but our Wen family will not let him go."
"If we don't completely eliminate such a venomous snake and leave it to bite us later, it will only cause more trouble."
…
Wen Mingzhi was not satisfied with the old emperor's handling of the matter.
After all, as long as a venomous snake is alive, it is a threat.
Moreover, the bones and pride of the venomous snake were broken. It would be scary to think about it if it really retaliated.
Therefore, the Wen family has already made private arrangements to get rid of the Ninth Prince.
Of course, getting rid of it all at once would be too obvious and would easily arouse suspicion.
Therefore, the Wen family's method is to use some subtle drugs.
Moreover, the Ninth Prince cannot be allowed to become ill all of a sudden.
Because, if the Ninth Prince looked too pitiful, the old emperor might soften his heart and release him?
Speaking of the Ninth Prince, Wen Mingzhi said casually, "He won't survive the New Year."
Wen Mingzhi had no mercy or leniency towards this person.
You know, when the Wen family was secretly investigating, they discovered a secret room in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Inside were portraits of Wen Mingzhi and things that she had accidentally (...) lost!
Because of this, the Wen family also caught two spies that the Ninth Prince had arranged in the Wen Mansion!
Wen Mingzhi thanked her luck countless times that they had prepared in advance.
Otherwise, it would be reported directly to the emperor, who would then discover the secret room.
Wen Mingzhi couldn't bear to imagine the consequences.
When there is a conflict between a minister and his son, you don't need to think too much to know that the old emperor will definitely favor his son.
He doesn't think his son is dark or perverted.
He would only think that the girl from the Wen family was not self-disciplined and had seduced his son!
The Wen family took action early and eliminated this hidden danger.
At this time, how could Wen Mingzhi show mercy to the Ninth Prince?
He was not skinned alive because he was still a prince and the old emperor was still on the throne!
Boll and Sun Susu went to StarWorld early.
Although there is still martial law and we cannot leave the city.
However, there are still a lot of things in the city.
At this time, only Sheng Jiu, Lin Duo, and Wen Mingzhi were left on the second floor.
Because there were so few people, Wen Mingzhi felt more confident and spoke boldly.
Later on, Wen Mingzhi looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something, but was a little hesitant.
Sheng Jiu saw it, but was not in a hurry to ask first.
Judging from Wen Mingzhi's reaction, he must have something to ask of her.
So why should she be anxious?
In fact, Wen Mingzhi did have something to ask for.
She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "...Do you have any elixirs that can maximize physical strength in a short period of time, but then drain it away and become irreparable?"
Hearing her ask this, Sheng Jiu raised his eyebrows in confusion: "What do you mean..."
Wen Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty may be getting older, and his actions are becoming more and more difficult to understand. Father's intention is... to help the Crown Prince ascend to the throne as soon as possible."
Afraid that Sheng Jiu didn't understand, Wen Mingzhi quickly explained again.
The Queen's mother's family is powerful. Although the Wen family is also a noble family, it is still not as powerful as the Queen's mother's family.
Moreover, the prince has been the prince for many years and now has two little grandsons.
Therefore, even if she gave birth to a prince, she could not compete with the crown prince.
As long as the court officials are not stupid, they know which one to choose.
The ruler is young and the country is in doubt.
Given the old emperor's current condition, he will definitely not live to see Wen Mingzhi's child grow up.
Therefore, instead of letting the old emperor become old and confused and make random mistakes, it is better to send him off early and promote a new emperor to the throne.
Although the prince's ability is mediocre, he is good at listening to advice.
Father Wen's opinions can sometimes also be considered the direction of the court officials.
In fact, there are some things that Wen Mingzhi did not say explicitly.
That is, after being stimulated by the incident with the Ninth Prince, the old emperor has become more and more violent.
In order to seek immortality, he even killed two ministers and took out their hearts, because the master said that they had special destinies and the elixir he made could help him achieve immortality.
The two important officials in the court killed him at will.
He is a second-rank official in the court!
Each of them comes from a long-standing family with a deep foundation.
However, no matter how great it is, it cannot be greater than the imperial power.
It’s not that ministers are unwilling to be loyal to the emperor, but they must at least be loyal to a wise emperor. If a wise emperor doesn’t work, a normal monarch will do.
But the old emperor’s condition now is really worrying!
For the sake of their lives and property, as well as the honor of their clan, the ministers had to find another way.
Sheng Jiu never expected that Wen's father was so brave.
He actually wanted to get rid of the incompetent monarch and put a new one on the throne.
This actually overturned Sheng Jiu's stereotype of ancient officials.
But on second thought, even a rabbit bites when it is angry.
If forced into a corner, even palace maids could strangle the emperor, let alone the ministers?
The matter of elixirs is not difficult at all.
Moreover, the fight between their dimensions had nothing to do with Sheng Jiu.
So, after thinking about it, she nodded: "Okay, I'll ask for you, there should be one."
Qing Wanxi is outside making medicine.
Sheng Jiu was unsure about the situation with the pills. After thinking about it and comforting Wen Mingzhi, he went out to call for help.
Qing Wanxi had just finished refining a furnace of dragon scale pills.
Not to mention, it smells pretty good.
It has a fresh smell of mountain grass and trees.
Of course, there are not only dragon scales in it, but other herbs are added, but they are not very precious, they are all for the purpose of complementing the dragon scales.
The pills that were refined were about the size of the little finger nail, and each one was white and cute.
60 pieces were produced in one furnace, Qing Wanxi was very surprised.
After seeing this, Sheng Jiu was also surprised: "It came out so soon?"
Qing Wanxi nodded: "Yes, 60 pieces in a furnace, 10 less than I expected, but the quality is good. I just analyzed the ingredients. Although it can't cure diseases or save lives, it won't be a problem for daily maintenance."
After explaining the effects, Qing Wanxi handed the bottle of pills to Sheng Jiu and asked softly, "Would you like to try it?"
