The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 478
"Bastard, Guangyong, do you know what you are talking about? Are you trying to force His Highness into the palace?" The general who stood up before pointed at Guangyong and cursed.

"The last general doesn't dare, the last general just wants an explanation, that's all." After all, the general didn't look at other things, just bowed his hands to the crown prince.

Changsun Ji looked at the prince, only to see that the prince was still smiling, looking at the generals, as if he didn't hear what the general said.

Changsun Ji looked at the other two princes and saw that they were also looking at the prince with smiles on their faces, ready to listen to the prince's explanation.

However, the prince remained motionless, even maintaining his previous movements.

"Brother, are you just looking at General Guangyong saluting like this? Aren't you going to say something?" Seeing that the prince was motionless and silent, the third prince thought that the prince was not ready to say goodbye for a while, so he urged road.

The prince remained motionless, maintaining his previous movements, smiling, and looking at the generals, like a statue.

Changsun Ji's expression changed, and the others looked at the prince, as if they also sensed that something was wrong with the prince. Immediately, something was wrong with the atmosphere of the whole banquet.

Feng Huo stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Father, all the generals are waiting for your reply?"

After finishing speaking, Feng Huo paused slightly. Seeing that the prince still didn't respond, he stretched out his hand and touched the prince carefully. The prince's whole body was directly spread out on the chair, with a smile on his whole face. .

Feng Huo put his finger under the prince's nose, paused for a moment, then took his finger away, and said sadly: "Father rested in peace."

Immediately, the banquet was silent, all the generals looked at each other, some couldn't react, just now the prince was still alive and well, but he died after drinking a glass of water and wine, this accident was obviously not expected by everyone.

Except for Feng Huo's bitter cry, there was no other sound at the whole banquet, but soon everyone began to react, crying bitterly, and stepped forward to help.

Everyone has a sad look on their faces, but I don't know how many of them are sincere.At this time, Changsun Ji did not step forward, but hid in the crowd with his head down, but the expression on his face was a little uncertain.

He didn't expect the prince to die suddenly, it was too sudden, although he felt that the prince's face was a little strange before, but he didn't expect the prince to die here directly.

Only now did he understand that the prince's face was flushed just now, it was nothing else, but the prince was in a state of radiance.

Originally, the prince wanted to use this banquet to completely settle the third prince and the seventh prince, but the prince died suddenly, which made Changsun Ji hesitant. The prince was captured directly.

He looked at Shi Dizhu, this guy was also the prince's confidant, although he didn't know what tasks the prince had arranged for this person, but Changsun Ji believed that with the prince's prudence, the other party must have other tasks on him.

However, apart from the sorrow on his face, this guy didn't have any expression on his face, which made Changsun Ji a little puzzled.

After thinking about it for a while, Changsun Ji let out a sigh of relief. He didn't decide to do it. If he wanted to do something like this, he would have to kill him with one blow.

But now the prince, the most important person in this matter, died, which made him lose confidence in front of the two princes. No matter how you say it, the two princes are members of the royal family, and they are weak in status. Wait a minute, it wasn't a big deal to have the crown prince standing in front of him before, but now that the crown prince is dead, this problem is immediately highlighted.

In addition, many of the generals present belonged to the two princes, and on their side, the prince died suddenly, and the dragons had no leader. If any more soldiers appeared, the command would create even greater chaos.

Changsun Ji lowered his head to prevent others from seeing the expression on his face, but there was no pause in his head.

In any case, now that the prince is dead, the previous plan cannot be carried out at all, so he has to consider other things, let alone what kind of turmoil this will cause in the court, what he has to consider now is what he should do next. How to do it.

After waiting until the matter was over, Changsun Ji went straight back to the mansion, but the aftermath of the prince's death was not over yet.

Apart from other things, at the very least, he wanted to find out the reason for the death of the prince. This was already figured out before Changsun Ji returned to the mansion.

The prince died normally. It should be that the prince was seriously injured when he was young, and the root cause of the disease was beyond treatment by this time. He happened to die directly at this banquet.

In this regard, Changsun Ji was very helpless, the plan had already reached the final step, and the last step was almost trembling, and the prince died in the end.

However, there is nothing he can do about it. When the prince was still there, the generals under him naturally did not have to worry about it. Now that the prince is dead, the original generals will naturally have other ideas. After all, they cannot because A dead prince with no regard for himself.

It was not long after the death of the crown prince, and the news of Emperor Yan's death also spread from Beijing.

The matter was completely out of control, and the entire capital was in a strange state. Apart from the youngest prince of Emperor Yan, the three princes and the seven princes who were most likely to ascend to the throne were naturally the two.

Only two days after the prince's death, the original prince's power was almost divided by these two princes.

Of course, there were quite a few who took the initiative to seek refuge with the two princes, but those were officials with little power. Originally, those who were the direct relatives of the prince, such as Changsun Ji and Shi Dijiao, did not express their views.

Now the whole thing is developing in an unpredictable direction. No one knows who these two princes will be on the throne. Between brothers and sisters, many of them are still waiting and watching.

During these two days, the two princes threw olive branches to Changsun Ji, but Changsun Ji did not give any reply.He also discussed this matter with Cheng Ping in the mansion, but they didn't discuss the reason.

In fact, Changsun Ji looked down upon the two princes, both of whom were inferior to the prince in terms of political sensitivity and methods.And compared to the relationship between him and the prince, neither of them is a good choice.

But the prince died, which left him with no better choice.

On this day, Cheng Ping came from outside the room and saw that Changsun Ji was a little worried, he chuckled lightly, cupped his hands at Changsun Ji and said, "My lord, are you worried about the death of the crown prince?"

Seeing Changsun Ji nodding his head, Cheng Ping cupped his hands again and said, "My lord, we are not the only two princes to consider. Although the prince is dead, it's not that he has no blood left."

Changsun Ji said softly, "You mean Feng Huo?"
