I’m The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book - Chapter 104
Emperor Tiansheng knew that he couldn’t continue to wander between Li Mingjin and the fourth prince.
He needs to come to a conclusion.
Although what he did was just a dream, it also reflected the emotions among several princes.
The boss has no talent and no virtue;
The prince is not his own, so let’s not mention it;
The third child has absolute military talent and charisma, but he is not very good at doing things and is a bit straight;
The fourth is gentle, courteous, knowledgeable, ambitious, and very good at hiding himself. People like him are indeed very suitable for working hard in the officialdom.
But now we have to choose the future emperor, who can stabilize and develop their great Xia Jiangshan. The remaining two capable princes each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there is no need to consider the descendants. Both have sons. .
Their advantages are also obvious. Neither side has a strong mother clan. After inheriting the throne, neither will be restrained by the mother clan. It is just to see who can continue to transform the court after ascending the throne.
There are also shortcomings. Neither of them has received the education of the right monarch. Emperor Tiansheng has many reasons and principles to teach them, but with his current physical condition, he is also powerless.
Come on, if the third child ascends the throne, can the fourth child and other princes stay? Conversely, when the fourth child ascends the throne, can the third child and other princes stay, and whether the third child will raise an army.
Also, what if he dreamed that the princes of other countries were all on the side of the fourth child in his dream?
Over the years, there is no mother’s snobbery behind the fourth child. How did he suddenly increase his power?
Is the third child capable of competing with it?
The more Emperor Tiansheng thought about it, he realized that he didn’t know enough about these two sons. If he put the strength of the two countries in front of him, he could say one, two, three, but his two sons, how could he? Can’t compare the card case?
He didn’t know what the strength of the two sides was, what forces were behind it, and what he was doing all these years, were they all blinded by them?
No, he knows the strength of the third child. All his team members are in Gucheng, while the fourth child is a civil servant and a part of the capital. If the throne is given to the third child, he may not be able to keep it, and he will be arrested within three days. The fourth is replaced.
The third child seems to be a little weak, that’s all.
When Emperor Tiansheng was struggling with the headache of choosing the future emperor, the fourth prince and Shen Mingyun were obviously a little overwhelmed.
They need to break the current balance. As far as they know, the father has not made a decision yet. Who is he going to give this country to?
Let them push it.
Shen Mingyun learned that the ultimate purpose of the system is to help the fourth prince win the throne, and he can retire after completing this task.
Since it is to be completed, speed up the progress. He does not have the patience of the fourth prince.
The two were in such a state of affairs because of their relationship. Shen Mingyun hated the fourth prince for cheating, and at the same time had to protect his own life. Without the fourth prince, he still has two children.
To get rid of the current predicament is to let the fourth prince get the throne, and then he can get rid of it earlier.
Shen Mingyun made a rather damaging suggestion to the fourth prince: “Your father is dying now, why don’t you add some ingredients to the soup he drinks.” To speed up the speed of his death, he will eventually die anyway, “I don’t believe you What kind of feelings do you have for him, he can’t even remember who your mother and concubine is.”
The mother-in-law of the fourth prince was just a little palace maid, and Emperor Tiansheng still remembered that she was a ghost.
It has to be said that Shen Mingyun’s mention of this really touched the weakness of the fourth prince. He pretended not to care, and he was the most concerned, and the reason why he was eager to get the throne was his mother-in-law, if it weren’t for God Emperor Sheng didn’t care about their mother and son at all, and he wouldn’t be reduced to begging for food with Concubine Lin and his eldest brother since he was a child. Whenever he saw his eldest brother receiving the favor of his father, he asked him about his homework with concern, and heard his father’s concern for him. Words, he was extremely jealous in his heart, and wished to replace the elder brother to get the attention of the father and emperor.
But in the end, he never got the care of his father.
If it wasn’t for the accident of the eldest brother and the prince, how could he have caught the eyes of the father and emperor; if he hadn’t put his own marriage in, how could he have competed with other princes? It was also his luck that he met Shen Mingyun who volunteered to help him. .
Although Shen Mingyun was vulgar, he gave birth to two children for him, and helped him get where he is now. The fourth prince knew that he had nothing to feel sorry for himself, but his derailment ruined their relationship. Shen Mingyun still trusted him before. Yes, it is he who has broken the trust between them now, probably stealing from a ghost.
Then again, in fact, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention, he is just following his own heart.
Thinking about it this way, the guilt towards Shen Mingyun is a little less, they are actually using each other, one wants power, the other wants benefit.
It is indeed a way to speed up the death of the father, and then write the edict according to the father’s handwriting. After he really passes away, the throne will naturally be his.
But the fourth prince was still a little worried. His third brother was not as upright as his father had seen him. He was very cunning and slippery.
To do this, you have to hide from his eyes in the palace.
The fourth prince said: “We can think of this, and the third brother can also think of it, and they will even guard against us.”
“Let’s see what you think, anyway, I’m giving you advice.” Shen Mingyun’s attitude has nothing to do with himself now, and he has a high attitude. You must know that he is still angry at what the fourth prince did before. Now The anger has not dissipated, and some of the anger is accumulated from the system.
The protagonist who thought he was the absolute protagonist was suddenly told that his role was like an NPC, and anyone who heard it would be furious.
Why choose him?
What did he do wrong?
hateful!
hateful!
hateful!
Holding the system in my hand but not using it for my own use is extremely uncomfortable.
However, Shen Mingyun has nothing to do, no system, he is nothing.
After the anger, he could only ask the system humbly like in his previous life: “After the fourth prince ascends the throne, will you continue to let me assist him?”
System: “No, you will be free then.”
Shen Mingyun’s eyes lit up: “That’s great, then I can be at ease, and the mall will continue to be open to me.”
The system paused: “It will be open for you.”
Shen Mingyun’s mind became clearer recently, and he also began to analyze the behavior of the system to help the fourth prince: “Do you also have your own task?”
The system directly pretended to be dead, and he didn’t need to mention it to Shen Mingyun about his own affairs.
Shen Mingyun didn’t receive a reply from the system for a long time, and he already had an idea in his heart, but unfortunately the system didn’t know how to keep it in his mind. He couldn’t do any harm or coercion or inducement to him. The one who is in control is himself.
At this time, he remembered a famous saying: life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is freedom, both can be thrown away.
He still wanted freedom.
For now, let’s temporarily complete the mandatory tasks of the system. After the fourth prince ascends the throne, he must have nothing to threaten him.
Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu didn’t know that Shen Mingyun had changed his view of the system. After all, this only happened in Shen Mingyun’s mind.
But from Shen Mingyun’s attitude towards the fourth prince, it can be inferred that Shen Mingyun would choose to continue to help the fourth prince under this circumstance, and there must be a system to interfere with it, either a threat or a lure. kick in.
In response to Shen Mingyun’s actions, Luo Shuyu had no better way. He could only distinguish through his actions and then react.
The relationship between the fourth prince and Shen Mingyun has been destroyed to this point. The system is still capable of turning the tide. It is indeed pinching Shen Mingyun’s weakness. Another point is that Shen Mingyun relies too much on the system, and he is too used to it. The most important thing is that the system brings He is very convenient.
While thinking about how to deal with Shen Mingyun and the omnipotent system, Li Mingjin returned to the mansion from the military camp.
Luo Shuyu poured tea for Li Mingjin and asked him, “Why did you come back suddenly? Isn’t there an exercise today?”
After drinking tea, Li Mingjin wiped his mouth and said, “The exercise is continuing. Just now, the secret guard informed me that the fourth brother may be poisoned in the medicine of the father and speed up his death.”
Luo Shuyu couldn’t help but ask: “It’s not long before the father, why does he still do this, and what is the benefit to him?”
Li Mingjin: “The person he placed in the palace may have to act.”
Luo Shuyu’s mind flashed: “He wants to write an edict for the father and emperor?” Both sides have secret agents in the palace, and they all know that Emperor Tiansheng has not yet determined who will inherit the throne, and the fourth prince obviously can’t wait.
Li Mingjin: “You guessed right, he probably doesn’t want to wait any longer. After all, the father and the emperor have a mother and a concubine Wei Xian. Naturally, the mother is with us all the way, and Wei Xian is naturally on our side. They may be worried about this, In order to prevent them from cheating, I want to strike first.”
Luo Shuyu held his chin and thought for a while: “Then why don’t we have a plan?”
Li Mingjin raised his eyes and smiled and said, “I want to go together with me, as expected of our dear father.”
Luo Shuyu rolled his eyes at him: “Be serious, let’s talk about business.”
Li Mingjin: “It is also my idea to take the plan into account. The Imperial Hospital has always been conservative. As long as there is no external force, the royal father will definitely live longer than they expected. This plan has two advantages. The fourth brother is a man, and secondly, he can also use this to remove the fourth brother’s manpower from the palace.” He is more willing to get the throne without a single soldier, and the elite soldiers he raises are more willing to use it against outsiders, not against his own people. There is absolutely no need to make the courtroom bloated.
Luo Shuyu: “But there is still a problem, I can only convince my father to believe that he is a vicious person. What if my father is not very tricked?”
Li Mingjin: “Yu’er, do we still care about that holy paper? The imperial edict is the icing on the cake for us, if not, it doesn’t matter.”
Luo Shuyu: “Your Highness, you have to have confidence in yourself. I believe that the royal father will pass the position to you, but I just don’t understand what he is struggling with.”
Li Mingjin: “Older people see a lot of things, and it is difficult to make decisions. In his eyes, my fourth brother and I are equal in strength.”
Luo Shuyu nodded, it was true, Emperor Tiansheng didn’t see the forces behind them, he wanted someone who could suppress the court officials.
It can only be said that Emperor Tiansheng’s pattern and vision have become narrower and narrower with his age. Probably this is the ultimate reason why he can’t make a decision now. What he sees is not the future of Daxia, but the future of Daxia. Which of the two sons is more in line with his heart.
Luo Shuyu: “Then, whether to tell the royal father about this plan, after all, he is the one who makes the final decision.”
If Emperor Tiansheng didn’t choose Li Mingjin in the end, then they didn’t need to protect him anymore, and protecting him now is just to hope that there will be no more conflicts with the fourth prince in the future, and fewer people will be hurt.
Li Mingjin: “Discuss with him in private. I think the fourth brother will do it in two days. I will go to the palace tonight to discuss with the father.”
Luo Shuyu: “I wish Your Highness all the best.”
If Emperor Tiansheng didn’t agree, Li Mingjin and Concubine Mei would also find a way to get him to agree. Anyway, he’s in a bad mood now, and it’s almost enough to drink some sleep aids, and he doesn’t need to mobilize the crowd.
Li Mingjin said to himself: “It will definitely go well.”
At the same time, the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.
Shen Mingyun handed a bottle of the free medicinal effect accelerator provided by the system to the fourth prince: “This potion is colorless and odorless, as long as you drop one drop into your father’s medicine every day, his body function will decline rapidly within three days. No matter how clever a doctor is, they can’t find it.” This potion did not belong to this era, and Shen Mingyun didn’t bother to bother with the system about its inconsistent decision.
It is definitely a preferential treatment for the fourth prince, and he is just a casual one.
Recently, I have been thinking about the purpose of the system, but I have not figured out other meanings. Apart from helping the fourth prince to ascend the throne, what else is there? Its task is most directly related to the success of the fourth prince?
The fourth prince stared at the liquid in this small transparent bottle, his eyes gleamed with greed, and he evoked a small smile: “That’s great, Mingyun, our great cause will be accomplished!”
Shen Mingyun: “As long as you arrange the manpower in the palace, it’s basically not a problem.”
Shen Mingyun has been walking towards this goal with the fourth prince in recent years. He was actually infected by the emotions of the fourth prince, and was a little excited.
Man, what a contradiction.
No matter what the final mission of the system is, but his mission is about to be completed, he is about to be free, he doesn’t have to die!
Three days later, bad news came from the palace that Emperor Tiansheng was seriously ill in bed and could not get up.
The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, today I am your system, and you are my host. You must complete all the tasks I assigned you to get rewards!
Luo Shuyu: I’m sorry, I don’t need a system and refuse to communicate.
Three Princes: …
