After the fourth prince Chen Bing returned to his mansion, he immediately called his trusted aide Huo Wen over.
"Sir, I just heard some news from Jiang Siying that the third prince's death was very likely related to the crown prince." Chen Bing said to Huo Wen in a deep voice.
Huo Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "The emperor's favorite prince was none other than the third prince. It was only after the third prince passed away that the emperor began to favor the eldest prince more.
There were even rumors at that time that the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince and make the third prince the crown prince.
If it is truly discovered that the Crown Prince is responsible for the Third Prince's death, then the Emperor will definitely depose the Crown Prince."
“Sir, you need to send more people to investigate this matter.
But I'm worried that now that the Crown Prince has been deposed, my eldest brother will take advantage of it."
Huo Wen stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, we can first investigate this matter thoroughly, and then wait and see.
After we have overthrown the eldest prince, we will make this matter public."
Chen Bing hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, this time even the Zhennan Army has sent 200,000 elite troops. The rebels of the Jiang family in Fuzhou should not be able to enter the capital.

Jiang Siying wants to bet on Chen Bing, while Chen Bing hopes to establish some relationship with the Jiang family in Fuzhou through Jiang Siying.
"The rebels of the Jiang family in Fuzhou cannot enter the capital, so Your Highness should maintain this relationship with Jiang Siying.
With the Xianbei Khanate and the Khitan Khanate backing the Jiang family, the entire Fuzhou will probably become a vassal state in the future.
Regardless of whether the Jiang family of Fuzhou is a vassal state or not, as long as they can support Your Highness, then Your Highness's chances of ascending the throne in the future will be much higher."
"Sir, are you saying that the imperial court has no way of retaking Fuzhou?"
"Unless the imperial court can mobilize millions of elite soldiers from the Zhenxi Army and the Zhennan Army to attack Fuzhou."
Chen Bing said with some emotion at this time: "If I can get the support of the Marquis of Zhenxi, I can openly compete with my eldest and second brothers for that position."
