Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

Chapter 29 A little impatience ruins a big plan

"Brother Wang, you have really worked hard and made great contributions. You even look down on Prince Anping. You probably think you are the only one who is the best in the Great Jing Dynasty!"

Prince Jingnan lost no time in taking advantage of the situation.

"Liu Xuan, there's no need to fan the flames. Everything I, Liu Shuo, do is for the sake of the country and the people of the Great Jing Dynasty. Let me ask you, among the princes and ministers sitting here, who would approve of that idiot becoming emperor?"

Liu Shuo pointed at Liu Zhao as he spoke.

Liu Zhao's heart was filled with turmoil. This King of Zhenbei was really bullying!

But I can't speak at this moment.

First, he was not clear about the situation in the court, and if he expressed his opinion casually, he might say something wrong, which would lead to unpredictable consequences.

On the other hand, if he becomes smart now, will he become an even greater target of extermination by the King of Zhenbei and others?

After all, they have already expressed their intention to usurp the throne this time. If Liu Yan had not been prepared in advance, the dynasty would probably have changed by now.

Bear with it!

A small leak will sink a great ship.

It seems that the reason why Prince Song wants to be the emperor is not simply because he is stupid.

That's just an excuse.

All the ministers lowered their heads immediately. Is the King of Zhenbei sick?

Isn't this a scam?

"Master He, the Grand Protector, tell me, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

The King of Zhenbei directly mentioned He Zhi's name.

He Zhi is old, so he can certainly see all of this clearly.

He stood up unsteadily and said, "Prince Anping's words make sense. This old minister also believes that anyone who again discusses changing the crown prince will be beheaded and hung on Ningshan Mountain as a warning to the world!"

"You're talking nonsense too!" King Zhenbei continued.

He Zhi ignored him and continued, "You, the King of Zhenbei, should guard the north, protect the border for the court, resist foreign enemies, and ensure the peace of the people. The succession of the crown prince to the throne is not your responsibility, it is really wrong!"

"I'll guard the north, and you'll be waiting in Luojing to enjoy yourself. You make it sound easy, why don't you go and give it a try?"

"You are the prince's grandfather. You are not worthy of being called a grandfather. King Zhenbei, I am ashamed of you! Ashamed!"

When he spoke, he didn't even look at King Zhenbei. After he finished speaking, he sat down on his own.

He Zhi's words made the ministers feel relieved.

Now the King of Zhenbei won't ask anyone to speak!

Liu Zhao almost wanted to applaud, but he raised his hand and then put it down again.

"Old man, are you blaming me? I just said he's an idiot, so what? What can you do about it?"

The King of Zhenbei simply acted arrogantly!

"Enough! Prince Zhenbei, I remember your great contributions to the establishment of the court and will not bother with you. You have humiliated the crown prince time and time again. Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

Liu Yan was really angry. He slammed the table and stood up.

"I know, you are the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report!"

At this time, King Anshun turned around and bowed to Liu Yan.

"Say it!"

Liu Yan knew that King Anshun’s words at this time must be related to this matter!

So I sat down.

"When my brother and I went out, our father warned us that the King of Zhenbei was arrogant because of his great achievements and might stir up trouble, so he wrote a letter and asked me to pass it to you!" King Anshun said, taking out a letter from his sleeve and handing it to the King of Zhenbei.

"What?" Prince Zhenbei's face changed drastically. Even Prince Anping was on guard against him.

Then why wouldn't Liu Yan be on guard against me?

Or maybe I was thinking too simply!

Just tens of thousands of people want to control the capital!

As he was thinking, he opened it and saw a few simple words written on it: "Anyone who discusses changing the crown prince again will be executed by the royal family and his head will be hung on Ningshan as a warning to the world!"

"Brother Wang, you can see clearly!"

Prince Yiyang asked.

"Prince Anping is really too nosy!" Liu Shuo's mouth was dry. "Changing the crown prince is for the sake of future generations, but it's too arbitrary! If that idiot succeeds to the throne, the Jing Dynasty will be doomed! Prince Anping has been so wise his whole life, how could he not understand this?"

Prince Yiyang sneered, "Brother, since you don't take my father's words seriously, then I, your brother, have nothing to say! My brother and I are putting this out there: if anyone changes the crown prince again, we, the Anping prince family, will behead him and hang his head on Mount Ning, no matter where we are!"

"I, the King of Zhennan, second the motion!"

"I, the King of the East Sea, second this motion!"

"I, the King of Xichuan, second the motion!"

"I, King Dingyuan, second the motion!"

At once, several kings stood up.

Liu Yan silently looked at the kings who expressed their opinions and nodded slightly.

Liu Zhao finally understood that in this royal family, although Liu Yan was the emperor, his words might not be as effective as those of Prince Anping.

If he wanted to be a good crown prince, not only Liu Yan had to agree, but King Anping also had to agree.

If Prince Anping wanted to depose him, Liu Yan would probably not be able to bear it.

"Where are the other kings? Why aren't you talking?"

King Zhenbei stared at King Shanyin and his men with his eyes wide open.

At least she has some temperament now!

The kings looked at each other in bewilderment. Originally, they should have let the 10,000 soldiers they brought with them attack at this time.

That's not just about changing the crown prince, it's about directly putting King Song on the throne.

But now they were quietly taken away by King Jingnan to quell the rebellion. Without their troops, they dared not stand up and speak, and they all lowered their heads.

"Okay, okay, okay! I'm blind!"

King Zhenbei was very disappointed. He turned around and walked out after he finished speaking.

The King of Hejian was also lost, and the other kings were frightened. With so many kings supporting Liu Yan, he was considered a complete failure.

But the King of Zhenbei is a genuine local lord. If he continues to fight, he will be abolished. How can he bear it?

What's more, we have to find a way to overthrow Liu Yan in the future!

Only I left first.

Those 200,000 soldiers were all his direct subordinates. As long as he didn't resign, Liu Yan couldn't get rid of him for the time being.

If he was forcibly deposed as the King of Zhennan, he would have no choice but to raise an army.

I'm sure Liu Yan wouldn't dare to do that at this time.

At this time, King Liu Heng of Song, who had been silent all this time, finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Liu Yan sneered, stood up and said, "I'm very tired, I'm going back to the palace to rest first! We can talk another day if you have anything to say!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Liu Shuo's 200,000-strong army did indeed make Liu Yan feel a little wary.

Liu Heng stood there a little awkwardly and looked at Sima Bei.

Although the Prince of Zhenbei did not directly mention Prince Song during his disturbance at the banquet, everyone knew that Prince Song was the Prince of Zhenbei's stepson.

The new crown prince would of course be the King of Song.

They must have conspired all of this together.

The other princes and ministers had been waiting for this moment and soon dispersed.

Especially Sima Bei, Liu Heng looked at him, afraid that he would talk to him, and almost ran out of the Linde Hall.

At this moment, he didn't want to have anything to do with this brother-in-law.

The situation is very clear. Liu Yan has the upper hand, and the Song King's faction cannot make a comeback for the time being.

"Your Highness, please go back to the palace!" Zhang Hong walked up and said to Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao hasn't eaten yet!

There’s nothing we can do about it, let’s go back first!

He stood up and followed Zhang Hong out.
