The Crown Prince had a unique advantage in reputation and with the addition of the Shen family's military power, the odds of winning were much higher. How could Prince Zhou not be anxious?
"In that case, it is better to let that little girl of the Shen family marry to Number Nine. It is better than the Crown Prince." Prince Zhou said in a deep voice.
"Number Nine?" Prince Jing smiled meaningfully, "Fourth Older Brother, number Nine is not as simple as you and I think."
"You mean the matter between Shen Wan and the King of Qin?" Prince Zhou was puzzled. "No matter how I look at it, it seems like someone is behind it. Even if it was true, it was only because he had the ambition. To be honest, among the nine of us, who doesn't have ambitions for that position? Old Ninth didn't want to occupy anyone, he just wanted to be the only one. He had the ambition, but he also needed the ability to do so. He doesn't even participate much in the affairs of the imperial court. Which official is willing to follow him? "
Fu Xiu Yi and Shen Wan were very close in private and had an unclear relationship with the Crown Prince of Qin. This matter was heard by the other Princes and they were vigilant against Fu Xiu Yi, but at the end they did not put it in the first place. There was no other reason as Fu Xiu Yi did not participate in the court affairs for many years. Even if he had the ambition, he did not have the strength. He was just someone whose heart was higher than the Heavens and his life was thinner than paper. Compared to him, there were more important enemies.
Prince Jing shook his head, "Fourth Older Brother must not underestimate Number Nine. I always feel that he hides very deeply."
Zhou Wang waved his hand impatiently. "Why do you keep mentioning Ninth Brother? I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you. " Prince Zhou lowered his voice, "We cannot look on helplessly as the Shen family's military power falls into the Crown Prince's hands. If the Crown Prince obtained the military power and now that the Imperial Heir Grandson has been born and Imperial Father has the intention to support him, the chances of you and I will be even smaller. I have been fighting with Prince Li for so long, I do not want to be taken advantage of by the Crown Prince. "
"What does Fourth Brother mean?"
"This marriage cannot be done." Prince Zhou smiled cruelly. "It would be best if we become enemies."
"There are thousands of ways to form enmity. Which one does Fourth Older Brother want first?" Prince Jing asked.
"Of course it's a blood feud." Prince Zhou put down the wine cup and said, "That Shen family's little girl also wholeheartedly thought of Number Nine and would definitely not be willing to marry the Crown Prince. Since that's the case, we, the Imperial Family, will not force her to do anything against her will. Why don't we free her? "
"It's not easy to make a move on Shen Miao." Prince Jing said, "The last time Shen Miao was kidnapped, Shen Xin had doubled the number of guards for her and it was heavily guarded. How can one take action?"
Prince Zhou smiled. "If we can't do it outside, we can do it in the palace." He said proudly, "Once we enter the palace, no matter who the guards are, they all have to wait outside. Once we enter the palace, it's our world. I have inquired about it. Tomorrow the little girl of the Shen family will enter the Palace alone. After she enters the Palace to see the Empress, it will be our chance. It will be the easiest to make a move at that time. "
Prince Jing said, "It is easy to take action in the Palace but it is easy to be suspected when one investigates."
"Hehe, so this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Zhou Wang smiled. "What do you think about making it sound like Old Six's work?"
Prince Jing's eyes lit up.
The two brothers and Prince Li's faction had been fighting for so many years and were evenly matched. If this time Shen Miao met with an accident in the Palace, Shen Xin loved Shen Miao dearly and would definitely put the blame on the Crown Prince. If it was not that the Crown Prince had the intention to marry Shen Miao, Shen Miao would not have met with an accident and the Crown Prince and the Shen family would be enemies. At the end when it was found out that it was done by Prince Li, Prince Li would not be able to gain any benefits.
To be able to take care of two strong enemies without using a single soldier, why not?
Prince Jing smiled, "Fourth Older Brother's idea is not bad but it needs to be arranged carefully so that there will be more flaws. Men, invite my aides in. "
…
Coincidentally, when the residence of Prince Zhou was discussing about the assassination of Shen Miao tomorrow, the residence of Prince Li was also racking their brains over this matter.
