Chapter 2344: One-Man Show
As long as they taught the Fourth Prince a lesson, he could strike while the iron was hot and create an issue with the Third Prince. At that time, the Fourth Prince would definitely lose the hearts of the people.
If he still didn’t know how to take advantage of the situation, he would make him pay.
When Shao Yunduan took control of the South, the Second Prince was secretly delighted.
To him, Shao Yunduan was one of his men, and the Sun Family was becoming increasingly domineering. They would only become more restrained under Shao Yunduan’s control.
The more powerful Shao Yunduan became, the better he could compete with the Sun Family, preventing them from touching him.
This was good.
This way, the checks and balances he had planned would be achieved.
Seeing Shao Yunduan’s rising fame, the Second Prince felt both happy and worried.
He was concerned that Shao Yunduan might become too ambitious.
He also felt uncomfortable, thinking that the success Shao Yunduan was enjoying should have been his, yet he couldn’t even come close to it.
The Second Prince planned to get Shao Yunduan to side with him openly. He felt that the time was right.
The Second Prince issued a secret decree, left Wuchang City with his confidant, and went to Hangzhou City. He handed the secret decree to Shao Yunduan, ordering him to surrender publicly and reveal everything happening in the dark.
When Shao Yunduan received the secret letter, he was at a loss.
He was very shocked. Where did the Second Prince get the confidence to issue such a secret decree to him?
If it weren’t for the Second Prince’s personal seal, Shao Yunduan would have thought it was a fraud.
Shao Yunduan laughed at the secret letter and quickly burned it. Then he reminded Wu Guan, Zheng Sangge, and Hang Xingshan to strengthen their patrols.
The Second Prince waited and waited, but Shao Yunduan made no move.
He believed there was a tacit understanding between him and Shao Yunduan, so he did not ask for a reply to avoid being noticed by the Sun Family.
After sending the letter to Shao Yunduan, he planned to leave Hangzhou City quietly.
The Second Prince had no idea what Shao Yunduan’s reaction was.
What he took for granted was a huge blunder.
Instead of Shao Yunduan’s surrender, he received news that Shao Yunduan had gathered all the local officials for a meeting in Hangzhou City.
When he received the news, the Second Prince’s expression cracked!
The thing he was most worried about had finally happened!
Shao Yunduan was indeed unable to resist the temptation.
He thought with grief and indignation that there was truly no one in this world he could rely on. There was no such thing as a loyal subject.
Until now, he was still singing a one-man show alone, completely unaware that he had misunderstood everything from the beginning to the end.
Shao Yunduan had never promised him anything.
Shao Yunduan took charge of the court and created his own faction, shocking the entire world. Both the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince cursed him.
The Sun family was especially vocal and regretful.
Had they known this would be a disaster, they would have sent someone to destroy him before he could develop. How could they have given him a chance to grow?
Shao Yunduan had reached his current position because they had ignored and indulged him.
