Chapter 430 The mysterious elixir!
Gua Gua: [Because the fathers of these people have appointed them as crown princes, they will have more stringent requirements on this person.
Your father will think, you are the crown prince, why can't you do better.
To put it simply, it means to be a good person, a gentleman, who is good in every way.
However, these crown princes think that they already have this status, so why should they endure grievances?
For a long time, the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince has been precarious.
This could lead to the danger of rebellion.
Shen Zhao suddenly realized, "The king and father think that since they have reached this position and enjoy things that ordinary people don't have, they should make more concessions to their brothers.
The one who is appointed as the crown prince will feel that since you appointed me as the crown prince, you value me.
But you have to cause me so much trouble. What do you mean?
Over time, these two people will become alienated. 】
Guagua: [Yes, that’s what I mean.]
Before his death, the late emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty also wanted to test the attitude of his fourth son.
He values and loves this son, but his other sons did not come out of stones.
He also had some tiny bit of fatherly affection for his other sons and just hoped that they could have a chance to survive.
Especially the eldest prince, he is the first prince born to him and the queen.
As the eldest son and the heir, he has given all his favor to his fourth son.
The eldest prince will definitely not be valued by the new emperor in the future, and the late emperor just wants him to live a life of wealth and honor.
I also need to test my fourth son's attitude towards this will. Will he be unable to wait even for this little time? Will he become more arrogant and think that he is the best in the world?
Anyway, adhering to the principle of testing each of his sons, the late emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty finally issued this edict, and also let many important officials know about it, and the news reached the ears of their masters behind them. 】
After listening to Gua Gua's explanation, Shen Zhao summed it up in one sentence.
[Guagua, the late emperor of the Great Zhou was quite contradictory.]
She can't let go of her love for her sons, but at the same time she is afraid of them!
So what happened next? 】
Gua Gua: [Later, several princes received the news of this will one after another.
Naturally, each prince's reaction was different, some were happy, some were sad.
The people sent by the eldest prince persuaded the eldest prince to rebel.
Seeing that the late emperor only had one or two months left to live, there was no better way than to rebel.
Once the Fourth Prince ascends the throne, the best outcome would be imprisonment.
It is better to die in rebellion with great fanfare than to be imprisoned to death.
This is worthy of his title as the eldest son.
Of course, these were all bold suggestions from very loyal subordinates.
In fact, there are many people like Qin.
Fifty percent of the eldest prince's faction switched to the fourth prince.
But the eldest prince used to be courteous to wise men and in order to attract more officials to serve him, he acted as if he trusted these officials and talked to them about everything.
In this case, these officials who defected also posed a considerable threat to the eldest prince.
He didn't dare to rebel, because rebelling would have the same result!
But he could not rebel, and he could not watch the Fourth Prince ascend to the throne with the imperial edict.
However, he couldn't think of a good result at the moment.
Caught in a dilemma and seemingly in a desperate situation, the eldest prince's wife presented her husband with an elixir.
It was this pill that allowed the late emperor of the Great Zhou to live another half a year.
The will was abolished and the eldest prince was made the crown prince.
The fourth prince was ultimately defeated and had no choice but to be executed.
After the eldest prince ascended the throne, he cleaned up the officials who had betrayed him.
The Qin family also paid a huge price for choosing the wrong side this time! 】
