The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

After listening to the Prime Minister's analysis, the Fourth Prince realized that his father had no intention of severely punishing him, but was just giving him a warning.

It was a waste of time to scare him so much just now.

The Fourth Prince was furious and aggrieved, cursing bitterly, "That annoying Second Prince is such a troublemaker! If it weren't for him, the damned Sixth Prince would have already been in jail."

The Fourth Prince really hated the Second Prince. That guy was really good at looking for trouble. He had to cause such a fight for no reason.

The Prime Minister just shook his head slightly: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. Although the Second Prince's move is extremely sinister, it is impossible for him to succeed."

"The one sitting on the throne will not allow an uncontrollable situation to occur."

The Fourth Prince thought the same and snorted coldly, "The Second Prince is too clever for his own good. He actually wants to capture me and the Sixth Prince at once. What a foolish dream! He let the Sixth Prince escape in vain."

The Prime Minister chuckled and put down his teacup: "Your Highness, the scene at that time has already determined that the Sixth Prince will not make any big mistakes."

The Fourth Prince knew it very well, but he just didn't want to admit it. At that time, the Sixth Prince only said that there was someone behind the scenes and that the most dangerous situation had occurred.

"Is this really going to be such a good deal for him?" The Fourth Prince was unwilling to accept the offer. "Let him go and provide disaster relief so happily?"

"Your Highness," the Prime Minister said with a nonchalant smile, "Disaster relief is not so easy to achieve."

"There are millions of victims, and we want to provide relief. The amount of money and food we've allocated now is barely enough."

The Fourth Prince nodded slightly. "What the Prime Minister said is correct. However, the money and grain that bastard Old Six collected this time can at least provide some relief for a while. Should we give him some more trouble?"

Seeing the Sixth Prince making such a fuss about disaster relief, how could the Fourth Prince just stand by and do nothing?

The Prime Minister shook his head slightly and objected, "Fourth Prince, please don't mess with the disaster relief efforts now. Wang Kui alone has already angered the Emperor. If he takes action again, it will be more than just a warning."

The Fourth Prince was depressed. The Emperor's warning just now was very serious, and he didn't want to perform it again.

But the Prime Minister smiled and said, "Of course, we can't take action in the capital. As for the local areas..."

"A place?" The Fourth Prince's eyes immediately lit up. "Does the Prime Minister have any good ideas?"

"I have some old friends in Jiangdong. I will ask them to cooperate with the disaster relief efforts."

The Prime Minister was confident and spoke slowly, seeming to want to cooperate with the Sixth Prince in disaster relief. However, even a fool could tell that he was just trying to cause trouble.

The Fourth Prince laughed heartily. "The Prime Minister is indeed very shrewd. Now, let's see how the Sixth Prince will fall."

"The money and food he worked so hard to find are now going into our pockets. It's like he's sending us money and food. How wonderful, how wonderful!"

The old man and the young boy laughed as cheerfully as the foxes.

The Prime Minister reminded him, "However, Your Highness, during this period of time, please do not make any more moves. Reflect on your actions in the mansion and do not allow any more accidents to happen."

Today, the Fourth Prince was punished by the Emperor, who was very angry at the moment.

If the Fourth Prince is uneasy again now, then he is really committing a crime against the wind.

The Fourth Prince: "Don't worry, I am the one who listens to my father the most. My father ordered me to stay under house arrest for a month, not a day less."

"By the way, Prime Minister, besides handling the Jiangdong affairs, please pay more attention to the Second Brother."

When the Second Prince was mentioned, the Fourth Prince gritted his teeth and said, "That disgusting guy who talks so much about morality and justice has really screwed me over this time. I can't let him just sit back and watch the fun."

Although the Sixth Prince caused a big disaster this time and also dragged the Fourth Prince into it, he has now overcome it safely.

But the second prince, who was most comfortable stirring up trouble, had nothing to do and actually watched the two of them fighting each other.

Given the Fourth Prince's narrow-minded and vindictive character, he naturally didn't want the Second Prince to be so comfortable.

If I have the chance to catch the second prince's tail, I will definitely give him a good beating so that he will know what pain is.

The Prime Minister frowned and advised, "Your Highness, now is not the time to cause trouble for the Second Prince."

“Eat your food one bite at a time and do your work one thing at a time.”

"Simple first, easy later. The Sixth Prince has no background. Although he escaped several times, it was nothing more than relying on his eloquence and the favor of the one sitting on the throne."

"But the Second Prince is different. He is the Queen's son, and he has the support of a powerful family and many civil servants. If we rashly cause trouble for him, we will be in great disadvantage."

The Prime Minister meant that the Fourth Prince had to take care of his opponents one by one.

Now three princes are fighting for the throne, and the weakest is the Sixth Prince. Find a way to get the Sixth Prince out first, and then gather all the strength to attack the Second Prince.

Otherwise, if they go to cause trouble for the Second Prince now, given his strength, he will definitely counterattack, and then they will be in a lot of trouble.

The Fourth Prince was unwilling to accept this: "Are we just going to let the Second Prince watch the show? He even stirs things up with a stick from time to time, making a fool of me and the Sixth Prince."

"Look at this prince and Old Six fighting to the death. Why doesn't he just deal with Old Six and let this prince watch the show?"

The Second Prince looks calm now. No one is a fool. Anyone who can participate in the fight for the throne must be very smart, right?

Naturally, everyone could see that the Second Prince had sinister intentions.

The Prime Minister sighed and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the Second Prince is a legitimate heir and has been named Crown Prince. He can wait for that prince to pass away and then ascend the throne naturally."

"The Sixth Prince has received that person's favor, so we can bet that he will change his mind at the last minute and choose him as the successor."

"But Your Highness, do you have a choice?"

The Fourth Prince was silent. He had no choice but to fight for it, even to save his life.

Or like the eldest brother, who only knows how to travel and enjoy the scenery, and now no one knows where he is going to have fun.

Or like the third brother, who spends all his time eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

And the fifth brother studies calligraphy and paintings every day.

No matter who comes to the throne, he will show mercy to these three. The three of them have never fought for the throne, and they don't pose any threat. The one who comes to the throne can just pretend to be broad-minded and give the world the illusion that he cares about family affection. There is no harm in keeping them.

But once you enter the competition, you can only go all the way. Otherwise, if you give up halfway, the superiors will not forgive you, the guy who once caused trouble.

The fourth prince had no choice. He did not have a mother of as high status as the second prince, nor was he as favored as the sixth prince. Even before his father, the emperor, died, it was impossible for him to be named to ascend the throne.

For a moment, the Fourth Prince hated Concubine Xian in his heart.

Because it was Concubine Xian who asked him to fight for it, and Concubine Xian contacted the Prime Minister to support him.

The Fourth Prince also understood that Concubine Xian had no choice. If his son did not fight for her, she would be buried alive with him.

No one wants to die, everyone wants to live in peace. The reason for more conflicts in the royal family is just to survive.
