"If Your Majesty proposes the idea of deposing the Crown Prince at this time, others may object, but Xie Sanbin will definitely not object."
"Because only by abolishing the crown prince can he keep stepping on our heads and keep winning."
"So," Qian Qianyi concluded, "Your Majesty first pretended to be sick to expand the factional struggle, and then took back the prince's power as regent, making Xie Sanbin the victor. Then the Cao Mansion case happened, and the factional struggle developed to the point of life and death."
"In this way, Xie Sanbin will be dragged into the water by His Majesty. With his support, deposing the crown prince will most likely succeed!"
"But the prince and we have become victims..."
After listening to Qian Qianyi's analysis, the huge room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The complexity of this matter exceeded everyone's imagination.
No one expected that the high and mighty Ming Emperor Chongzhen would come up with such a complicated conspiracy in order to depose the crown prince.
After being shocked, Ma Shiying stammered, "Does Mr. Qian have any idea to break the impasse?"
Qian Qianyi answered simply and swiftly: "No."
"No? How could there be no? We can definitely make peace with Xie Sanbin!"
"Make peace?" Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly and looked at Cao Rong: "Lord Cao, do you agree to make peace?"
Cao Rong's eyes were bloodshot: "Xie Sanbin must die!"
Qian Qianyi spread his hands and said, "Look... Lord Cao will not agree, and Xie Sanbin also knows that Lord Cao will not agree, so we can only fight to the death, and there is no possibility of peace."
Ren Jun, the left assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, finally figured out a truth. He said leisurely: "This matter was a conspiracy in the early stage, and it became an open conspiracy after several things were connected. If you gave up the party struggle at the beginning, your majesty's plan would be completely ruined. But as everyone knows... the Donglin Party is keen on party struggles..."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
After an unknown amount of time, Cao Rong spoke up, "That is to say...if we want to survive, we must let the crown prince inherit the throne?"
Qian Qianyi replied: "That's right."
"What if Your Majesty is determined to depose the Crown Prince?"
"Then we can only rebel together with the prince!"
