In the early morning of the next day, Tantai Yu fell asleep in a daze, and was pulled up from the bed by Tantai Mingyue who suddenly broke in.
"Second sister, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"
Tantai Yu had two dark circles on his face. He had been thinking too much these past two days. He didn't really fall asleep until late at night yesterday, and he had only slept for less than two hours.
Tantai Mingyue didn't care so much. She held the prince's clothes in one hand and urged: "Get up quickly! Early this morning, the father suddenly announced that the queen has been thrown into the cold palace!"
"What?!"
Tantai Yu woke up with a start and said in disbelief: "Has He Jinwei been thrown into the cold palace?"
Tantai Mingyue nodded cautiously, "I have been to Kunning Palace. It has been blocked by my father and no one can see the situation."
"Then Prime Minister He didn't protest? He Jinwei is her eldest granddaughter!"
Tantai Yu's heart was in a mess. In the past, his father was afraid that the He family would tolerate everything and even asked his mother and concubine to give up the position of queen to He Jinwei. Why did he suddenly take action? Wasn't he afraid of the He family's rebellion
Tantai Mingyue shook her head helplessly: "I got the news not long ago, so I can't find much. However, after the news came out, the He family has not taken any action."
Storm is coming? !
Tantai Yu's heart sank, he put on his clothes and said solemnly: "I'm going to see my father right now!"
"Um!"
Tantai Mingyue responded solemnly, that was why she came to Tantai Yu. The fourth brother and Su Li had a close relationship. If he asked, his father would probably not turn him away.
On the way, Tantai Yu felt heavy in his heart.
The He family is the most powerful family in the Tianji Kingdom besides the royal family. The head of the family, He Tian, is over seventy years old, but he is still in charge of the power in the court. He is the Prime Minister of the Tianji Kingdom under one person and above ten thousand people!
He Tianchang's granddaughter He Jinwei, under his operation, became the queen of Tianji Kingdom, and his youngest granddaughter He Yulan also became the eldest prince's concubine. Without Su Li as a variable, He Yulan would be the next queen, and then the entire harem would be In the He family's world, why worry about the royal family not changing hands
For a long time, his father had not made his eldest brother the crown prince, and he had probably noticed this. He originally thought that his father would slowly weaken the He family's influence with a soft policy, and he would do the same in the future, but he didn't expect everything to happen like this. Sudden.
While he was thinking, the imperial study room was suddenly in sight. Tantai Yu walked a few steps faster and walked to the door. Just as he was about to speak, the old eunuch guarding the door said in a sharp voice:
"His Royal Highness, His Majesty has given instructions. When you come, just go in. I guess His Majesty has been waiting for you for a while."
Tantai Yu was slightly startled and immediately said, "I have money to spare, father-in-law."
"Your Highness is welcome."
The old eunuch laughed so hard that the corners of his eyes became wrinkled. This was the future Long Live Lord. How dare he make any mistakes? His attitude was much more respectful than before.
Tantai Yu entered the room and glanced at his father, who was writing something with his head bowed in front of the desk, but he didn't see a palace maid.
commune
His heart was a little tense, he walked to the open space in front of the desk and saluted respectfully: "My child, please see your father."
Tan Taifeng stopped writing, looked up and saw his "son" kneeling down, and smiled calmly: "Good luck little guy, get up."
brat
Tantai Yu stood up and straightened up, wondering why his father called him "Yu'er" before. Why did he change his name today
Such a weird title.
Tantai Feng saw his doubts, but did not explain. He just handed over the imperial edict he had just written in his hand: "Take it, and arrange the rest as soon as possible."
Tantai Yu became even more confused. He took the imperial edict in a daze, glanced at the content of the edict inadvertently, and almost threw the edict away with a tremor of his hands.
Zen position!
His father unexpectedly decided to give him the Zen throne in five days!
"Father, why are you...?!" Tantai Yu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Tan Taifeng chuckled softly, shook his head slowly and said, "Little guy, don't be afraid. I know why you came to me, and it was just for the He family. Do you think I was really afraid of the He family's rebellion when I compromised before?"
"Is not it?"
Tantai Yu was completely confused. If it weren't for the aura of the middle-aged man in front of him that made him feel very friendly, he almost thought that his father had been replaced by someone.
"of course not."
After Tan Taifeng finished speaking, he remembered something and his expression became colder, "Those ants are not enough to catch my eye. If it weren't for Ge'er, why would I be so timid? But now, I have determined something Things, I have a lot less worries.”
The existence of Jing Xin and Su Li's condition were enough for him to confirm that the real mirror spirit of the Samsara Mirror was in the sleeping stage. Even if he made a big move, he would not be suppressed. In this way... he would certainly be able to move much more freely.
Tantai Yu looked dumbfounded and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He didn't understand a word of what his father just said.
Moreover, it seems that the father's attitude towards these children is no longer as close and caring as before, and even the habit of calling himself "I" is gone.
He vaguely felt that he had come into contact with a great secret, but his father was vague. He could only get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg and could not know the whole picture.
After struggling in his heart for a moment, Tantai Yu couldn't help but ask: "Father, why are you so... strange today? It makes me feel... "
"Do you feel like an outsider?"
Tantai Feng laughed, causing Tantai Yu's expression to change slightly, "That's not what I meant."
"That's what you mean." Tan Taifeng's smile remained unchanged, "Actually speaking, you guys are the outsiders. We old guys want to be outsiders, but... we can't help ourselves."
With a slight sigh, Tantai Feng looked at Tantai Yu's increasingly confused expression, shook his head and smiled: "Boy, don't think too much. When the time comes, you will naturally know something in the future. Now... it's too early."
"In two days, your mother will almost wake up. At that time, I will reestablish her as the queen, and then you will ascend the throne! This Tianji Kingdom is at your disposal. Your mother and I will enjoy happiness in the harem, unless the country is destroyed. Danger, don't bother us."
Tantai Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't notice that Tantai Feng looked a little weird when he said the word "your mother". He responded repeatedly: "Concubine, is she about to wake up? It's great. Let's get ready now!"
With that said, he was about to leave. When he reached the door, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten his original purpose after entering.
"Father..."
He turned his head, and before he spoke in detail, he saw Tantai Fengfeng saying without raising his head: "I will leave the handling of the He family's affairs after you ascend the throne. For specific matters, go to Commander Xu. From now on, he and the Black Scale Army will be yours." .”
Black scale army? !
The most mysterious and powerful dead man of my Tantai family!
Father actually decided to use the Black Scale Army!
Tantai Yu's heart was slightly shaken, and his worries were instantly swept away.
"Yes, Father!"
…
Not long after, Tantai Yu left the imperial study and just walked out of the imperial garden when he saw Commander Xu with a serious face standing in front of the palace gate waiting silently. When he saw him, he immediately came up to him and saluted neatly:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Tantai Yu was in a daze for a moment, remembering the disappointment and disdain on Su Li's face when he rashly brought Su Li into the palace. Looking at it today, it was a completely different scene.
Regardless of how much he sighed, Tantai Yu raised Commander Xu's waist that was about to bend down with both hands, and said: "Commander Xu, please get up quickly. Will I still rely on you and your black scale army in the future?"
Commander Xu's body stiffened slightly, but he still bent down and said dryly: "The etiquette cannot be abolished!"
With Tantai Yu's meager cultivation, there was no way he could stop Commander Xu. He could only let him finish his salute and then asked:
"Commander Xu, my father has already told me that I will handle the affairs of the He family. What is the current situation?"
Commander Xu looked slightly stern when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to repel the accompanying black scale guards behind him. Upon seeing this, Tantai Yu also asked all the eunuchs to retreat. In a blink of an eye, they were the only two people left on the palace road.
"Your Highness, in fact, the He family's affairs only have the final touches left."
Commander Xu took a slight breath and told a fact that shocked Tantai Yu.
"Why, then Prime Minister He doesn't know how to resist?"
Commander Xu thought of what he saw yesterday, with a hint of vague fear in his eyes, and explained in a low voice:
"Your Highness does not know that just yesterday, everyone who could speak to the He family disappeared mysteriously, including the Empress Jin Wei who has been relegated to the cold palace."
"What did you say?!"
Tantai Yu's eyes widened and he couldn't help but raise his voice.
He Jinwei, who was relegated to the cold palace, was still her father's woman after all. How could she just disappear so casually
At this moment, Tantai Yu subconsciously thought of "Mr. Li". Thinking of that man's magical power, the shock on his face immediately faded a lot.
"It seems His Highness has understood."
Commander Xu opened his mouth at the right time and said: "The lower official heard that there was a man in Lili who had a serious grudge with the He family. After being put in the important position of Mr. Li, that man returned to the Tianji Kingdom and immediately killed the He family to a river of blood. The people of the He family It was wiped out completely without any waves!"
"Then just yesterday, the people of Linliju took away He Jinwei from the palace and He Tian from the Dantian City mansion. All the people in the He family who were talking about it were gone, and the remaining people were leaderless and unable to stir up trouble. , As long as His Highness the Crown Prince sends people over to clean up the mess, the great achievement of killing the rebellious family will be in his pocket immediately!"
At the end of his words, Commander Xu had an evil tone in his words and an expectation in his eyes. Although he did not have the right to choose his master, he also wanted to see whether the prince appointed by His Majesty and Mr. Li had the ability to ascend the throne of the emperor.
Tantai Yu closed his eyes and sighed softly, feeling cold in his heart. The changing circumstances of the past half month flashed past his eyes, and finally settled on Su Li's smiling face.
At this moment, no matter how slow he was, he should have noticed that the road that suddenly became clear in front of him was probably related to his junior sister.
Although I don’t know what the relationship between Mr. Li and Su Li is, but since it is junior sister’s wish...
Tantai Yu's eyes flashed, and his tone became domineering for the first time.
"Send troops! Crush the remnants of the He family!"
