Section 280
.
He thought he had successfully removed a time bomb that could detonate his position as heir at any time, and then he only needed to enjoy the glory of the empire's heir, but the development of the situation was very different from his imagination.
First of all, Xi Wei's accusation against him in the courtroom was not based on evidence, but it was very reasonable. For many people, this was enough. There were suddenly many unfavorable remarks about him on the Star Network.
These opinions without substantial evidence only troubled him for a while, and they would dissipate in a short time. But Lan Yawei, that crazy woman, seemed to have set her sights on him.
I don't know whether it was to vent her dissatisfaction with being rejected, or to firmly believe that he was the one who killed her idol. This woman came to challenge him every few days, and then beat him up. He didn't go out and made appointments for battles on the Star Network.
Xiwen was simply annoyed by her. Avoiding the fight would give off a reputation of cowardice, and accepting the fight and being beaten by this woman would not look good either way. Either way would make the outside world question whether the third prince was a fool.
Such doubts were even more troublesome than the trouble Xi Wei brought him. After all, the life and death of the traitors of the empire was irrelevant. Even if the third prince really took action, there were extremists who thought he did a good job. But a mediocre and cowardly heir made it difficult for everyone to let go. Can such a person really lead the empire to prosperity?
In order to avoid Lan Yawei and to restore his image, the third prince Xiwen simply left the imperial capital star and started a tour of the entire empire. At the same time, he actively developed charity and public welfare activities in various places, using various methods to show his face in front of people and brush up his reputation...
The effect of this method is remarkable, and the public opinion on the Internet is gradually improving, but the price is that it is quite energy-consuming, making him busy every day.
At this time, Eve came to make trouble again.
This "sweetheart" carefully selected by the third prince has all the characteristics of "beauty brings disaster".
She was born a commoner. Because she admired the empire commander Wu Heng, she worked hard to get into the military academy. She was born with a strong sense of justice, even to an extreme extent. At the same time, she has unparalleled beauty. It seems normal to attract the third prince who has never seen such a girl.
When the third prince chose her, it would not make the outside world think that he was crazy or had another conspiracy. It also made his "jealousy" look more reasonable.
But the third prince Xiwen did not expect that when this girl fell into the love trap he woven step by step, she was confused by the gentleness and affection he showed, and she also lost herself step by step and relied on him wholeheartedly.
She was deeply in love and could not extricate herself. It was difficult for her to tolerate the sudden departure of her lover. Even for business, she had to communicate with the third prince remotely almost every day.
When she chattered about the fun things in her daily life or complained that the third prince could not be with her, the third prince was getting more and more annoyed.
In the past, he might not mind having a passionate love affair with a beauty who was completely attached to him, or even pretending to be real. After all, his stable position as heir no longer needed the support of a famous fiancée.
But now, he urgently needed to save his image, and he had no mood to deal with these romantic things.
Perhaps Eve also keenly sensed his indifference. She was at a loss as she was in love for the first time. She could only contact him more frequently and try harder to intervene in his life. She even asked for leave from the military academy to go to him... These things involved more energy of the third prince Xiwen, and also affected his mood and state. The public welfare undertakings that were originally steady and steady were also affected. Someone also took a picture of the two people arguing on the street, and it was uploaded to the Star Network, which was another wave of hot discussions, of course, negative comments.
Just when the third prince Xiwen finally couldn't bear it anymore and used a quarrel to completely get rid of Eve, the trouble, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but received another contact from another person through a secret channel.
That person was the imperial hero Ou Shang who exposed the crimes of the previous commander in chief and turned the tide in the war not long ago. Now he has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general with that great achievement.
But the emperor, who knew the inside story very well, had already decided not to use this person anymore. This lieutenant general title might be the most glorious peak of his life.
"... Why did he suddenly come to me?"
The third prince Xiwen was a little surprised.
The two years of careful planning were not nonsense. He had never had any contact with Ou Shang, but had used this person through several hands. Therefore, according to common sense, Ou Shang should not know who the mastermind behind the scenes was. Now it seems very strange that he suddenly took the initiative to contact him.
This gave the third prince an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, as soon as the two met, Ou Shang said something that shocked the third prince: "If the citizens of the empire knew that the so-called rebellion of the empire commander was actually led by you, the third prince, it would surely cause a sensation, right?"
The third prince's pupils shrank suddenly, and the palms on his sides suddenly clenched. He didn't have time to think about how Ou Shang knew this. Several thoughts had already crossed his mind, and he quickly regained his composure and smiled:
"So what? Do you dare to risk being exiled to expose me, the heir to the empire?"
Ou Shang frowned, feeling that something was not quite right in the script, not at all what he imagined.
The third prince, who quickly calmed down, had already stood up and looked down at Auchan with a mocking look in his eyes: "What? After personally pushing the officer who promoted you into the abyss, your non-existent conscience Did you suddenly return to your position? Or... is your sense of justice driving you to die with me, the mastermind behind this?"
Ou Shang's face turned red: "You, you are the one who threatened me, and I don't want to..."
"...It's as if you didn't get any benefits."
"Come on! If you really had enough justice and loyalty, you wouldn't wear this lieutenant general title. Where it came from, you and I know best."
In the end, the third prince's eyes fell unscrupulously on the other party's epaulettes, and his tone was very intriguing: "So, no matter what else you want, don't try to get it from me. Ha, greedy It’s not a good quality.”
His voice deepened, showing a strange tenderness.
After being beaten repeatedly by the third prince, Ou Shang's arrogance dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He murmured a few times, then suddenly thought of something, as if he was holding a trump card, and his expression suddenly became excited again.
"Yes, I don't dare to let others know. But what about His Majesty the Emperor? Third Prince, do you dare to let His Majesty know the truth about this matter? I don't want much..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. He felt that the way the third prince looked at him was very funny, as if he was looking at a clown.
This made Auchan's confidence gradually weaken.
And at this moment, the third prince, who had looked arrogant before, suddenly smiled and said warmly: "That makes sense. What you said makes sense. Don't worry, I will think about it carefully." I'll give you news soon."
He smiled and nodded, looking like he had finally compromised. This made Auchan's face become excited.
After Ou Shang, who looked excited, left, the third prince sat down again. He looked at the other person's back quietly, and a deep murderous intention flashed in the depths of his pupils.
——It was very convenient for such a greedy and self-aware guy to take advantage of him at first, but now he is in trouble. Who knows what other stupid things he will do?
——Perhaps it’s time to find a chance to settle things once and for all.
——No, don’t be in a hurry, wait for a while, wait for a suitable opportunity, arrange it carefully, clarify everything’s relationship with yourself, and make everything look like an accident.
However, the accident that the third prince prepared to arrange had not yet come. On the second day after the meeting between the two, Ou Shang suddenly disappeared.
He disappeared so completely that even the Star Network that monitors the entire empire has no trace of him.
Ouchang's wife expressed panic and told everything she knew: For example, if her husband had been very excited and said that he had caught the third prince, he would definitely take the opportunity to blackmail him and make his Their careers will advance further, and their family environment will be greatly improved. Another example is that after returning home that day, my husband was in a very good mood and everything seemed to go well...
But that night, Ou Shang, who was supposed to be sleeping well at home, disappeared for no reason. $$This $$ work$$ product$$ is provided by $$思$$Rabbit$$online$$$$$$online$$on$$read$$read$When his wife woke up and found her husband missing, the first thing she thought of was the third prince who was blackmailed by him. This frightened woman was worried that she would also be killed and silenced, so she first found the most authoritative media on Star Network and told everything she knew.
The third prince Xiwen fell into a terrifying storm.
·
In the Desolate Star Territory, I was not talking to Xi Wei.
During this time, he commanded Xi Wei to do many things remotely.
After explaining the business, Xi Wei hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "Ouchan is missing, do you know?"
Yuan Buwei seemed to have guessed his temptation, and said without any secret: "I know, the person will be sent here soon. What, do you want to see him? He can be sent in a few days. You saw it."
He smiled and spoke, and his words were as simple as air-lifted cabbage.
Xi Wei took a deep breath: "...That's true."
A few days ago, Yuan Buwei suddenly asked him to find a way to attack Ou Shang and encourage that greedy guy to doubt the third prince.
Xi Wei's previous accusations in the trial hall had already left traces in many people's minds. Although there was no evidence, many people believed that the third prince had indeed done something to the former commander-in-chief Wu Heng. However, everyone tends to think that this is a kind of hatred towards traitors, and they will not think deeply about it.
However, this is not necessarily the case for Auchan who has a ulterior motive. He knew very well Wu Heng's innocence and knew that everything was a conspiracy. It's just that even Auchan himself doesn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes is.
When Xi Wei tried his best to let him connect everything with the third prince, Ou Shang felt that it made sense.
Honest people see only the bright side, while greedy and mean people only have conspiracies and calculations in their hearts, so they think that others are the same, and cannot understand the behavior of those who do not seek fame or profit. Compared with # the third prince who does nothing but hates evil # , # the speculation that the third prince is the mastermind who wants to kill everyone # is obviously much more reliable for him.
With Xi Wei secretly guiding him in various ways, Ou Shang felt that it made sense the more he thought about it, and even recalled many details, thinking that they all matched. He immediately felt that he had "guessed" the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes and caught the handle.
After that, Xi Wei took the opportunity to set a few traps for him, causing him to lose a lot of money and bear huge debts. He also calculated that he had offended a military leader. After secretly guiding him, Ou Shang was overwhelmed and naturally thought that the third prince could help him solve the problem.
Everything that followed was logical.
——Guiding Ou Shang to discover the truth and finding ways to get him to ask for benefits from the Third Prince was a task that was not originally assigned to Xi Wei. As for how to do it specifically, it was all carefully designed by him.
However, that was all he had to do. After Ou Shang met the Third Prince, everything he had to do was completely fulfilled.
Therefore, even Xi Wei did not expect that Ou Shang would
