"Oh? He was the only one who sent Su Yuanwu off?"

When Emperor Zhou heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Otherwise, he would have already regarded the Second Prince as an object of suspicion. After all, he was suspicious by nature and did not completely trust his own children.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder whether it was possible for the Second Prince to kill Su Yuanwu.

After all, Su Yuanwu knew the secret of the second prince. As long as Su Yuanwu died, no one would know the secret of the second prince.

"Eunuch Li, do you think it's possible that the Second Prince killed his uncle?"

Emperor Zhou cast his gaze towards Eunuch Li. Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li knelt down in fear and said, "I dare not speak nonsense about the prince."

"I tell you to say it, just say it!"

Emperor Zhou's expression suddenly turned cold.

Eunuch Li hesitated for a moment before he spoke weakly, "I don't think it's possible that the Second Prince killed Lord Su, right?"

"After all, Lord Su is your highness's uncle, and he has always given him a lot of advice."

"Besides, the Second Prince has no reason or motive to kill Lord Su."

Eunuch Li can only speak the truth from his heart on this matter.

If he said one wrong word, he would be the one to die.

Emperor Zhou sneered: "How can there be no such possibility? So what if he is my uncle?"

"Haven't I already ordered the execution of my legitimate son? So what if he killed his own uncle?"

Eunuch Li lowered his head and looked submissive, not daring to say anything.

He couldn't tell whether Emperor Zhou was testing him or he really had such thoughts.

"Forget it. I can't get any information from you even if I ask you."

Emperor Zhou picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then frowned again.

At this moment, he was already alert.

Emperor Zhou suddenly felt that he had lost control over his ministers and son.

In the past two days, the officials in the court have completely disregarded his authority and have been impeaching other officials and princes.

The second prince has been trying to win over those officials and students from poor families.

It goes without saying that the second prince is trying to expand his power and gain a higher status.

But I'm not dead yet!

Emperor Zhou couldn't help but grit his teeth. He could give the Second Prince certain powers, but the Second Prince could not snatch what he didn't give.

Unknowingly, the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to no longer be controlled by just him, the Emperor Zhou.

What's more, Emperor Zhou now truly believes that it was the Second Prince who designed to kill Su Yuanwu.

The Second Prince is already so cruel now. If time passes, he might even kill the king in the future!

Now the Emperor Zhou already felt that his throne was becoming increasingly unstable. It was fine that the court officials were no longer under his control.

Now even the second prince is against him and wants to seize more power from him.

So how long can he remain emperor?

Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Eunuch Li, pass on my decree. Starting tomorrow, the Second Prince will lead the army to guard the border of Great Zhou."

"If he can establish meritorious service on the border, he will come back!"

This was the best method he could think of. Since the Second Prince wanted to gain status so much, he should go to the border and establish merit.

If he allowed the second prince to do whatever he wanted in the court, then he would be the emperor in name only.

What's more, Emperor Zhou now wants to regain control of the court. It will be easier to suppress one side first and then the other.

"Your Majesty means that the Second Prince..."

When Eunuch Li heard this, he raised his head suddenly and was about to ask.

But at this moment, he noticed the cold look in Emperor Zhou's eyes, and he did not dare to give any advice at this moment.

"I obey your order!" After Eunuch Li wrote the imperial edict in front of Emperor Zhou, he left the imperial study.

After he walked out the door, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The world of the Great Zhou Dynasty has really changed. Even the second prince is being sent to the border.

It is said that he is guarding the border, but in fact he is just being exiled!
It's just that the former sounds better.

Eunuch Li couldn't help but realize that Emperor Zhou had now taken his suspicion to the extreme.

Previously, Emperor Zhou was thinking about training the Second Prince, but now he directly sent the Second Prince to the frontier.

Eunuch Li suddenly thought of his own situation.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Even though he has been following the Emperor of Zhou for many years, if he does something wrong one day, he might end up being beheaded.

"Ugh……"

Eunuch Li clenched the imperial edict in his hand and quickly went to the second prince's residence.

--------

The second prince's residence.

At this moment, the second prince Zhou Mingyu was summoning several officials from humble families.

The guards below came in and reported: "Your Highness, Eunuch Li is here, holding the imperial edict in his hand."

Eunuch Li is here?
When the second prince heard the guard's report, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Invite him in!"

He couldn't help but feel a little curious. Eunuch Li actually brought an imperial edict with him this time. Did that mean that his father was really going to give him the position of crown prince?

When he thought of this, the second prince couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Over the years, he has been dreaming about the position of crown prince.

If his father really wanted to make him the crown prince, then he could openly establish his own small court.

He also tried to win over officials from poor families to work for him.

If he wants to ascend the throne in the future, it will be a piece of cake, and the other princes will never think of taking his things from him.

A moment later, Eunuch Li came in with the imperial edict.

His voice was very shrill: "The imperial edict has arrived, please accept it, Your Highness the Second Prince!"

"My son, I accept the order!"

The second prince knelt down respectfully and treated the imperial edict as if he were meeting the emperor.

His eyebrows couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

I couldn't wait to snatch the imperial edict and take a closer look.

Eunuch Li said in a shrill voice: "The Emperor has issued an edict, saying that I have heard that God has blessed us with many outstanding people, and that our dynasty is full of talented people, which is a blessing to our country."

When the second prince heard this, his eyes lit up.

All the things I said before were good things. Do you really want to give him the position of crown prince?
But the next second, the second prince's face froze.

"I recently heard that the borders are a little unstable. I am very worried when I am looking for talents. However, I think that among all the princes, the second prince is the most outstanding. He is not only talented in literature, but also has outstanding military strategies. He is truly a pillar of the country and a pillar of the people."

"I hereby order the Second Prince to immediately prepare his gear and lead 20,000 elite soldiers to the border to garrison the country in order to reassure the people and strengthen national defense. The Second Prince must be loyal to his duties and live up to my expectations and the trust of the people. I decree this!"

After Eunuch Li finished reading, he folded the imperial edict and handed it forward again.

"Second Prince, please accept the order."

However, the Second Prince's face was already pale at this moment.

Did he hear it correctly?

My father actually asked him to lead 20,000 troops to guard the border?

Don’t be fooled by the nice words of this imperial edict, it actually means exile!
The second prince just felt a chill in his heart.

When will I be able to come back after going to the frontier? (End of this chapter)
