After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Prince Ning is in a very difficult situation now. First of all, his own health is very poor. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a useless person with disabled hands and feet.

The servants in the mansion were all arranged when they moved into Prince Ning's mansion. Among them, all of them were the emperor's spies, or other princes, princes, and former princelings...

he does not know.

If he wanted to fight for the throne again after he recovered, the first thing he had to do was to find out the details of the people in the palace, and then gradually replace and bribe them, and then contact those who were once loyal to him...

and so……

"He wants you to help him check the background of the people in the mansion, and by the way, plant some of your people in the mansion. If possible, he wants to replace the steward of Prince Ning's mansion as well."

After considering it, Xu Xing gave Jiang Hao an answer.

His answer was basically the same as what King Ning asked for.

Seeing that he guessed so thoroughly, Jiang Hao couldn't help but sigh, what kind of mind does this guy have?

"That's exactly what King Ning said."

"Then you agree?"

Jiang Hao put down the teacup, stroked the rim of the cup with his right index finger, raised the corner of his lips and looked at Xu Xing: "I didn't agree, but I didn't refuse either."

Even if the eunuch had not suddenly knocked on the door, she was now a member of the Ji family, and Prince Ning's maternal family was from the Ji family. Whether she agreed or not, they had already been tied to the same boat.

So, if she had to indicate which side she was on, she would naturally choose King Ning.

Just when Xu Xing thought he understood what Jiang Hao meant, Jiang Hao said something else that King Ning said.

"Secretly appointing a crown prince?"

Sure enough, when Xu Xing heard it, he was just as surprised as Jiang Hao.

His Majesty actually has such a plan?

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that he has such thoughts.

The result of appointing a crown prince twice is obvious.

If the crown prince is appointed secretly, after the emperor's death, the cabinet will directly announce the candidate for the new emperor's succession, and the new emperor will take the throne. This will avoid a bloody struggle after the emperor's death when there is no new emperor.

As for how the new emperor would deal with his brothers who had always been eyeing the throne after he ascended the throne, that was beyond the control of the late emperor, and he could not worry about it.

"Your Majesty has witnessed the scene of brothers killing each other with his own eyes. I guess he is tired and scared. However, if the crown prince is not clear, the lords will not give up. If the fight continues like this, I am afraid that the remaining princes and princes in the future..."

Jiang Hao fell silent when he said this.

Those who are ambitious, aspiring, capable and smart will fight each other to death. By then, when the tallest one among the short ones is picked out, it is not known which ugly person will take the throne.

"What you said... does make some sense."

As the emperor gets older and his health gets worse, even without the emperor's explicit statement, the old stubborn people in the court will urge the appointment of a new crown prince to prevent future chaos.

The more they discussed this topic, the heavier their hearts became.

Be it the Weiguo Mansion or the Ji family, it is difficult to escape the vortex of this struggle for the throne.

The two chatted until the evening and then separated. When they left the Millennium Building, the cold wind blew straight into their necks.

Jiang Hao stood in front of the Millennium Building and looked up at the sky. The clouds were dark and it seemed like it was going to snow.

"girl."

Number Four drove up in a carriage, his face full of self-blame: "You've been waiting for a long time. It's cold outside. Get in the carriage quickly."

Xiangling wanted to complain about Number Four, but seeing that her master had no intention of blaming her, she didn't dare to say anything.

Jiang Hao got into the carriage, thought for a moment and said to Number Four, "Pick a capable person tomorrow and send him to Prince Ning's mansion."
