Chapter 1018 The Best Family 145
It’s no wonder that these princes have the idea of killing the emperor. When they see their brothers of the same age die naturally one by one, fear will force them to take action.
They thought that there was still a chance to take action. If they didn't take action, their team would definitely have no chance when they died. After all, no one would pass on the throne to a prince. The emperor's grandson.
Historically, when a prince died, it was difficult for his son to become the emperor. What's more, they were just ordinary princes, not princes. If they died, how would their sons be qualified to compete with their uncles for the throne?
Of course, they would not be so stupid as to force the emperor to go to the palace directly. After all, that would have a bad reputation, so they would still resort to poisoning in secret. In this way, when the emperor dies, he will die of illness and there is no need to worry about his own health. Reputation is a problem.
But how could Linlong let them succeed.
If the emperor harmed Linlang, then Linlang might just sit back and watch, but now that the emperor is alive, it is obviously a good thing for Linlang, so how could Linlang sit back and watch him be killed.
The emperor will ask her about politics, so that she can slowly arrange the court, let those ministers who are not biased towards him, but can at least remain neutral, come to key positions, and slowly replace those who are on the same side as others. He is a prince, and at the same time he has unclean hands and feet. He has clean hands and feet, but he has taken sides with other princes. Linlang will not punish him just for the sake of his future children. He cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is a bottom line issue. .
But there is no need to worry about too many people who cannot be dealt with, which will affect her plan. After all, these days, there are not many people with clean hands and feet. In this way, if those with clean hands and feet stay, it will not affect the overall situation.
In this way, the emperor is alive, which is convenient for her to continue her layout. If the emperor dies, it will not be easy for her children to take the throne now. Although she can definitely take the throne with her means, it will be much more troublesome. , it would be better to wait for the emperor to live longer and for key positions to be filled with neutral officials.
Therefore, when a prince and concubine planned to kill the emperor by poisoning or accidental death, Linlang directly told the emperor the news in secret.
When the emperor saw it, he was naturally furious and killed the prince immediately.
Although in the past, due to the fighting between princes, more and more people died, so the emperor rarely killed his sons, lest he kill too many and not have any descendants, so he could at best be deposed as a commoner, anyway. The beatings continued, but they were all the other sons and concubines, not him. He didn't feel deeply about it, so it didn't matter.
But now, it hit him on the head, and he knew it hurt, so naturally he couldn't bear it. Even if he had fewer sons, he would kill him.
Anyway, many of his sons have died of old age, and they are full of children and grandchildren. In other words, he has many descendants and does not care about killing one or two sons.
So seeing that these sons actually wanted to kill him, naturally they had no mercy.
Of course, the main reason is that if he doesn’t kill ruthlessly, other sons will imitate him, and his life will be in danger. After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days.
However, for the sake of his own descendants, he did not kill his entire family, but only killed his sons, daughters-in-law, and their mothers and concubines. As long as the investigation was true and they were not involved in his murder, he would be spared. If you die, the most you can do is to be imprisoned in Huai'en Palace.
After killing two princes like this, the other princes were frightened and did not dare to move anymore. After no one dared to kill the emperor, the emperor's lifespan would naturally still be that long.
When the emperor reached the age of seventy, there were not many adult princes left, because after Linlang's son was born, the number of people in the harem who were pregnant by the emperor probably dropped due to his age, and even fewer were born and grew up. It was probably due to old age that the sperm quality was not good and the quality of the children they gave birth to was not good either. In addition, the palace environment was harsh and there were constant fights, so not many survived.
Many of those older than Linlang's children died. After all, Linlang's children were already in their thirties, not to mention the others. In this way, how many princes could be left alive?
Among these princes, Linlang's son obviously has the most advantage. Firstly, Linlang is favored, and secondly, Linlang's son is also better than other princes.
So when the emperor was in his seventies and had a severe cold, he made Linlang's son the prince.
The reason why princes older than Linlang’s son were not considered was mainly because there were only two princes older than Linlang’s son, and those two behaved poorly when the emperor was severely cold. It was quite unbearable - thinking that the emperor was going to die, he was so happy that he moved around, contacted the imperial guards and the eunuchs around the emperor, and planned to wait until the emperor died, then rush into the palace, take control of the palace, and then forge a will. Let them take the throne.
As a result, the emperor was not dead and had recovered from the severe cold. After knowing this, he was naturally furious.
Although these people, unlike the beasts he killed before, planned to harm his life, when he was severely cold, they didn't want him to get well, but they actually expected him to die. Can the emperor not be angry?
The older a person gets, the more afraid of death he becomes. Naturally, he cannot bear to see others wishing for his death.
Immediately, he scolded them for being inhuman and imprisoned the two of them. Then, in order, they made Linlang's son the crown prince.
Linlang's son, his mother-in-law had a high status, and when he was sick, she only served him honestly and did not expect him to die. This naturally made the old emperor happy, so he made Linlang's son As a prince, it is normal.
Seeing that the emperor made Linlang's son the crown prince, although everyone in the harem and the previous dynasty agreed with the emperor's decision, after all, the high status of Linlang's son and mother-in-law showed that he was of high birth, and his performance when the emperor was ill was also good, unlike Bi. The princes older than Linlang's son behaved terribly, so making him the crown prince was correct in every aspect.
But that was only on the surface. Secretly, naturally, none of the princes or concubines agreed with this decision. In their eyes, everyone was a prince. Why could Linlong's son be the prince, and they couldn't?
So when Linlang's son was established as the crown prince, everyone immediately had a target to attack. They felt that as long as Linlang's son died, the throne would be theirs.
It can be said that these people were afraid of Linlang's weird methods before and did not dare to do anything to Linlang's son. But now that the emperor has made Linlang's son the crown prince, it will be too late if he does not fight, and he will not care about Linlang. With so many people besieging him, can Linlong be able to take care of them one by one?
Of course they thought wrong. Linlang can really take care of them one by one, so these people had better not take action, otherwise, they may die.
If he honestly doesn't take action, Linlang's son will be able to become a prince or county king in the future, which is not bad. It is better than being dealt with by others.
