On the way here, Xuan Yunian guessed what the emperor had urgently summoned him for. When he arrived at the imperial study and heard the emperor sitting at the top asking him questions, he answered slowly and calmly.

Emperor Liang nodded and handed him a secret memorial.

When Xuan Yunian saw the content above, ripples appeared in his heart.

Liang Sheng: "The Emperor of Qi is dead, and his death was not glorious. On the very night of his death, the princes began to fight for the throne. When this secret memorial was delivered, the third prince, born to the imperial concubine, was poisoned in his palace. The fifth prince, born to the concubine, was found to have illegally manufactured weapons. His attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, and he was shot to death on the spot."

Xuan Yunian: "I think the fight for the throne has become more intense in the past few days."

Liang Sheng: "I wonder who will win. The new emperor can't be too clever."

Xuan Yunian thought about his brothers and felt that Liang Sheng was worrying too much.

The old emperor was afraid that his sons would kill him and seize the throne, so he did not educate them well. All of them knew how to please the old emperor, and they were neither good at literature nor at martial arts.

Originally, the eldest prince born to the empress dowager had more competitive advantages, but he and the empress dowager were involved in the elixir incident. The Emperor of Qi died from excessive elixir poisoning, which also contained the poison of pillow red. The ministers of Qi might not obey him.

The second prince had an affair with the concubine, and the Emperor of Qi died at the hands of the beauty sent by the second prince.

The eldest prince and the second prince were charged with patricide, the third prince and the fifth prince were already dead, and the only ones left were a few underage princes.

Xuan Yunian: "There will be a result in a few days. Your Majesty, don't worry. Our people will take advantage of the situation and make the fight for the throne more interesting."

Liang Sheng also found it quite interesting.

The old Emperor Qi had so many children that he was suspicious all day long, fearing that his throne would be taken away. In the end, he died at the hands of his son.

The late emperor had few descendants, and there were only two people competing with Liang Sheng for the throne. The maternal families of those two brothers were not as powerful as his, and they themselves were not as capable as him. He was the crown prince appointed when his father was alive. Before his father passed away, he entrusted the throne to him in front of all the ministers, so his succession to the throne was legitimate.

His two elder brothers were conferred the title of prince, and he returned to his fiefdom soon after he ascended the throne and was not allowed to leave without being summoned.

Thinking about it this way, his father had indeed solved many hidden dangers for him, allowing him to ascend the throne smoothly.

Liang Sheng: "I don't take these princes of Qi seriously. They are not to be feared. No one who ascends the throne can threaten Daliang. But if I can support a puppet emperor, that would be great."

As Liang Sheng spoke, he thought of another person.

Liang Sheng: "The current Queen of Qi is of humble origin, and both she and her eldest prince relied on flattery to ascend to power. This reminds me of the late Queen of Qi and the young Crown Prince of Qi. The late Queen of Qi came from a prominent family, and the young Crown Prince was recognized by the court officials at a young age. If they hadn't died, Qi might not have fallen into civil strife so easily."

Xuan Yunian agreed with a normal expression, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He would not let any of the people who killed his mother and caused him to fake his death and escape go.

The two discussed the current situation for a while, and seeing that Emperor Liang wanted to see him off, Xuan Yunian took the opportunity to leave.

When he left the imperial study, he turned around and saw from afar Emperor Liang and Le Chang hurriedly walking towards the harem.

It's time for dinner. Where is Emperor Liang going?

Is it where he thought?

"Prime Minister, please come this way." The palace servant bowed slightly and said respectfully to Xuan Yunian.

He nodded with a smile, and walked step by step in the high palace alleys, no longer paying attention to the whereabouts of the emperor.

In the following days, Liang Sheng and Xuan Yunian both paid close attention to the developments in Qi.

"My Lord, the First and Second Princes of Qi killed each other and both died. The Empress has gone insane, and the Sixth Prince was poisoned and left without timely treatment, becoming an idiot. Several ministers of Qi are preparing to support the nine-year-old Seventh Prince."

Xuan Yunian: "Well, among the remaining princes, the Seventh Prince is the oldest, weak and incompetent, and has no maternal clan, making him easy to control, just as they wish."

The man in black kneeling on the ground was a little hesitant.

Xuan Yunian: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My Lord, you are the legitimate crown prince of Qi, and it is your right to inherit the throne! Are you really not going back? With your influence in Qi, ascending the throne will be effortless."
