Yunzhou, Yanwangfu.
Zhao Hao couldn't wait to open Yun Wei's letter and read it from beginning to end.
When Yun Wei wrote this letter, it was naturally later than the time when Shizifu and King Jing were repairing the book.
She wrote this letter when the dust seemed to settle on the murder of the prince's mansion, and Kyonai seemed to have regained calm.
It's like an overview and summary of the first two letters.
When Zhao Hao first received it, he was full of ecstasy, and almost didn't start to read what was written in it, he couldn't help himself, and kissed a few mouthfuls on the beautiful and elegant handwriting.
Jiang Xun frowned when he watched from the side, and couldn't help laughing.
It's just that when he finally reluctantly calmed down and understood the content on the paper, the smile on Zhao Hao's face quickly faded.
He didn't expect that in these two thin pieces of letterhead, they carried heavy news like a mountain.
For ordinary people and even middle- and lower-level officials like Yun Wei, the scene in Beijing was actually not very "frightened", but just a "change".
Because in a place that they can't see, there is a silent wrestling, but it is also the most dangerous and sensitive wrestling in the world, not only about the life and death of one person, but because of the fate of one person, involving the fate of thousands of people.
It was also later that Yun Wei knew what kind of turbulent waves were in Beijing that night.
The cause of the incident was naturally the bloody case of the Shizifu, and under the joint interrogation of the three legal divisions, the spearhead was directed at the prince's mansion.
Originally, when the palace attendants went to Dali Temple, Bai Zhi should have entered the palace immediately and reported all the facts and major discoveries so far, but Bai Zhi decided to press again for the sake of prudence and continue to investigate until the real "water is revealed", and then report to the emperor.
It's a pity that although Bai Zhu has such courage and means, some people really can't wait.
That is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhao Zheng.
Previously, due to various incidents in the prince's mansion, the imperial concubine's night tour, the Liao people's meticulous rebellion, and the series of events in which the Li family was stabbed by the imperial grandson in the palace had made the prince very worried.
As Gu James said, there was a murder in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, they thought that King Yan would be affected after all, and the Prince's Mansion could breathe a sigh of relief, but who would have thought that this matter would choke the neck of the East Palace again.
The surrounding rumors, the emperor's ambiguous attitude, and the crumbling situation made the prince unable to press it anymore.
On the night of the incident, the commander of the guards of the Dongzhao Gate in the palace was the prince's person, and he could secretly open the palace door and join the inside and outside.
In the past, Zhao Hao was able to move freely, but now that Zhao Hao has returned to Yunzhou, it is naturally the right time to take it.
In addition, half of the people in the court are on the prince's side, as long as the matter is confidential and decisive, it is logical for Zhao Shi to immediately claim the illness and pass on the throne.
Therefore, Zhao Zheng finally decided that success or failure was in this move.
Just when they decided to do it and planned well, Zhao Shi suddenly sent someone to summon King Yan Heng into the palace, and when he received the news in the East Palace, the attendants who came to the palace to invite him also arrived.
Zhao Zheng had to pretend to be nothing, and asked: "The city gate is going to be closed at this time, how can I pass people into the palace again?"
The chamberlain said: "The saint had a heart attack before, so he sent a few princes to the palace with the prince." ” Zhao Zheng's heart moved, and said, "King Heng and King Yan have already entered the palace?"
The chamberlain said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are also people on both sides who are invited."
I'm only afraid that I'm going to leave for the palace. ” Zhao Zheng entered, quickly discussed a few words with his staff, agreed on the number of actions, and went into the palace with the inner attendants.
After a short time, when I came to Wan'an Palace, I saw King Yan standing at the door, and he also came, and when he saw Zhao Zheng, he turned around and saluted.
Zhao Zhengdao: "Why haven't you entered yet?"
King Yan said: "I just saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, so I wanted to wait a while." ” Zhao Zheng glanced at him, but he didn't know if he was so respectful, whether it was true or false.
For he asked, "What about King Heng?"
King Yan said: "Before I came, I saw King Heng going inside. ” Zhao Zheng was noncommittal, and immediately entered the palace with King Yan, and sure enough, he saw King Heng standing on the ground, and Emperor Zhao Shi was sitting on the couch, eating a bowl of soup and medicine.
The two stepped forward to salute, and the prince said, "I heard that my father is sick, I don't know what to do."
The emperor slowly handed the medicine to the attendant next to him: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm getting older, and there are naturally more problems, but I don't know why, I still can't die for a while, which makes people anxious." ” Several people looked at each other, and the prince hurriedly said: "Why did my father say this, my father is in his healthy years, and he is prosperous." ” Zhao Zhuang and King Heng also said yes.
The emperor said: "Yes, in your hearts, didn't you think that I would die soon?"
Zhao Zhuang knelt on the ground first: "When my father said this, my sons had no place to deal with themselves. ” The crown prince and King Heng also knelt down one after another to plead guilty.
The emperor still looked at the three people lightly: "I heard a secret report, saying that recently, someone secretly mobilized soldiers and horses in the capital with bad intentions, have you ever heard of this?"
Such a sentence makes people defenseless.
Zhao Zheng had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard the chill on his body, he heard Zhao Zhuang say that he didn't know, so he also said: "Erchen has never heard of this. ” The emperor sneered and said, "Then, the guards of the Dongzhao Gate are also fine."
Zhao Zheng suddenly heard this, sweat slid down his face, and he looked up at the emperor violently.
Facing the emperor's somewhat gloomy gaze, Zhao Zheng was almost out of his soul, but he still said: "Son, I don't know what my father means by this."
Zhao Shi said: "King Heng, you talk to him. “ Zhao Zheng was taken aback, and suddenly turned his head to look at King Heng, but saw King Heng look at him, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I received a secret report, saying that His Royal Highness has frequently mobilized soldiers and horses in Beijing in the past two days, and I was a little puzzled, and I thought it was my father's order, so I mentioned it to my father, who knew that my father didn't know about it."
Zhao Zheng couldn't believe it, stared at him and said, "You" King Heng was full of solemnity and doubts, and said: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is really such a thing, and what is the intention?"
Zhao Zheng swallowed his saliva, his face turned blue.

King Yan watched strangely, and hurriedly asked: "Is there a mistake in the news" However, seeing the situation of the two facing each other, King Yan's heart was shocked, and he vaguely knew.
Suddenly, I heard the emperor say: "The murder case of the previous Shizifu was really confusing, I originally thought that the murderer was Xie Feng, who knew that it was King Yan, today I heard that there were eight or nine points to investigate, and I originally ordered someone to pass on Bai Zhu, but who knew that he actually deduced that it had not yet been revealed." ” King Heng continued: "In fact, this matter has indeed been understood, King Yan killed people at that time, but he was caught in the soul dementorship of people, and he couldn't help himself, as for the guard Dou Mingyuan, but he was related to Lu Lu Shi of the Prince's Mansion, and promised to be loyal to the Prince, and the dagger used by King Yan to kill people was used by the guards of the Prince's Mansion, so it can be seen what the truth is."
I don't know why Bai Ji refused to close the case. ” King Yan was beside him, listening to what he said exactly what he said, he understood better than he had personally experienced it.
Zhao Shidao: "King Yan, is this so?"
King Yan had no choice but to say: "That's so, but Bai Shangshu said that this case still needs to be investigated, but I am afraid that there is still an inside story." ” Zhao Shi turned his head and asked, "Prince, what do you have to say?"
The prince felt that the place where he was standing was shaky, and he said: "The son knows nothing about this matter.
Zeng also asked his subordinates privately, although Gu James admitted that he had persuaded Lu Ling to persuade Dou Mingyuan to serve, but Cui Yu's killing had nothing to do with it.
Ask your father to see it. ” Zhao Shi smiled, looked up for a moment, and suddenly said: "Do you know that I sent Xie Feng in that day and asked him what happened that night, but he did not confess truthfully, but told an allusion."
King Yan couldn't help asking: "What is the allusion?"
Zhao Shi told the story of "Bao Zheng Breaking the Cow" and said: "At that time, I was only angry with him for talking about lotus flowers, but I didn't tell the truth.
Who knows the hind feet, and you all enter the palace.
Xie Feng said that only the person who cut the cow's tongue wanted the cow's owner to make a mistake, so as soon as he saw Niu Zhu selling meat, he immediately reported it.
But the prince, you can't wait to come and tell me that you have received a secret report that King Yan has killed someone. ” Zhao Shi looked at his son at that time, and the anger in his heart was known only to him.
Only then did the prince understand, and his face turned pale: "Father, I really received a secret report, I just want to find out the truth."
Zhao Shi couldn't help but shout: "Do you want to find out the truth, or do you want to take the opportunity to bring down King Yan?"
The crown prince trembled, he was naturally selfish in this matter, anyone in his position was afraid that he also had selfish intentions, and King Yan was indeed extremely threatening to him, when such an excellent opportunity was in front of him, he couldn't control himself. is also because that incident has nothing to do with him, so he thinks that he is "above board", so he dares to ask for a thorough investigation, but how can he think of "being smart but being clever and mistaken", not to mention that there is that "allusion" first.
Only then did the crown prince vaguely realize the emperor's intention to summon them into the palace today.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zheng raised his head and said: "Actually, in the heart of my father, my son has long been overwhelmed, is it possible that my father favored King Yan long before he established the crown prince." ” Zhao Shidao: "You are indeed unbearable, narrow-minded, selfish and impulsive, ineffective and soft-eared, but I still made you the prince at the beginning, not who I prefer, who will definitely be the prince, otherwise, I would have established the king of Yan a long time ago."
Prince Zhao Zheng closed his lips tightly, King Heng was beside him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a thin smile.
Zhao Shi gritted his teeth and said: "There were so many bad things in the East Palace at the beginning, but I am still enduring it, I thought that you only need to do one thing that impresses me, I can, I am not to blame."
It's just that I can't imagine that you are not only not, but it makes me unbearable."
In the case of the Shizi's Mansion, if the prince entered the palace that day to intercede for King Yan, Zhao Shi might not be so angry and disgusted for the sake of cherishing his brotherhood.
Until now, when he reached the point of using a sword, the emperor finally knew that his patience had come to an end, and Zhao Zheng's crown prince had also come to an end.
The next day, the palace of Jinluan.
Almost sleeplessly, the emperor seemed to be a little older, but his spirit was still strong, sitting on the high dragon chair, his eyes like a falcon hovering in the sky, scanning the ministers below.
With some vicissitudes of life, he asked solemnly and majestically: "I intend to abolish the prince, do you have any opinions?"
Only two old ministers came out of the ranks, saying something like the prince who had a prince, but also had merit, just because after all, the general trend had gone, if there was no change in the government last night, maybe he could still turn the tide, but the intention to force the palace was already an unforgivable crime.
Now it is said that the prince has also made merits, but it is just to save some face and show his old feelings.
So there is no other word.
Zhao Shi sighed, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "If it is a prince, who should be established?"
The ministers were silent, and after a while, someone came out and said: "According to the order of the eldest and youngest, it should be His Royal Highness King Heng." ” Another said: "And His Royal Highness King Heng is loyal to the Holy Lord, if His Highness hadn't taken precautions this time, he might not have been able to see through the plans in the capital."
It is the ministers who also feel that His Royal Highness King Heng is the best, one is justified, and the other is worthy of the throne. ” King Heng was in the ranks, slightly showing a smug look.
On the dragon chair, Zhao Shi remained silent, looked at the ministers, and finally said: "Last night, it was indeed thanks to King Heng's good news, but what I don't understand is that King Heng and the prince have the best relationship, how can they take the initiative to take the lead."
King Heng's face changed slightly, and then said: "Back to my father, the sons and princes are brothers, so they have dealings with each other, but the prince's move is really wrong, and he doesn't remember the gift of the father and son at all, so the sons and ministers weigh it twice, and naturally have to make a painful choice." ” Several courtiers also nodded in appreciation.
The emperor said: "Then have you ever persuaded the prince to tell him not to make mistakes?"
King Heng said: "This, although there are some persuasions in the ministers here, but after all, this matter is not trivial, the ministers are afraid, for fear that they will not be able to persuade the prince, not to mention that he insists on going his own way, if the ministers do not succeed, but leak the news, and suffer deeply, and no one can report to the emperor, this matter can not be imagined."
Please forgive your sons. ” Zhao Shi didn't say anything, and only asked King Yan: "King Yan, what do you think?"
King Yan hesitated, and then said: "This matter is not the turn of the son-in-law to put the beak, naturally it is the father and the emperor and several auxiliary ministers to decide. ” Zhao Shi looked at King Jing again: "What about King Jing?"
King Jing said: "Erchen and King Yan are the same idea. ” Zhao Shi's gaze swept over the faces of the two princes, then moved away, looked at the ministers below, and finally said by name: "Shen Xiang, what do you think?"
Shen Zheng led out the column, frowned slightly, and said, "Holy Lord, this matter should not be involved in Weichen." ” Zhao Shidao: "Why" Shen Zheng said: "The Holy Lord has forgotten that a cousin niece of the old minister's family is Princess Jing at this moment. ” Zhao Shi said with a smile: "I didn't get confused to that point, it's just that the ancients didn't avoid revenge on the outside, and they didn't avoid relatives on the inside, you just have to say it." ” Shen Zheng said: "In this case, Weichen feels that Prince Jing is worthy of a great responsibility. ” As soon as these words came out, more than half of the ministers present nodded yes, and some people came out to praise King Jing, among the six Shangshu, in addition to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment did not express its position, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu intended to King Heng, and the other Ministry of Rites, Household Department, and Ministry of Officials all appreciated King Jing.
Seeing this, King Jing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Ask my father for forgiveness, but my sons and ministers must not." ” King Heng was beside him, sneered slightly, and suddenly King Yan said: "Father, the son feels that King Jing is indeed worthy of a great responsibility. ” Zhao Shi stared at him, but he didn't make a sound, his eyes swept around underneath, and suddenly looked at a person, and asked, "Bai Aiqing, why don't you make a sound?"
Bai Ji heard the words: "The minister is here." ” Zhao Shidao: "Who is the candidate you want in your mind?"
In an instant, the entire Jinluan Hall was silent, everyone looked at the upright figure standing in the middle, and even King Yan and King Jing on the ground also looked up at Bai Ji.
In the silence, only Bai Ji said: "The minister's interest is His Royal Highness King Yan." ” After a dead silence, there was a "buzz" and the courtiers couldn't hold back.
Shen Xiang couldn't hide the shock on his face, and even King Jing, who had always been restrained and gentle, rarely showed surprise in his eyes.

Not to mention King Yan.
Only Zhao Shi, who was high above, looked at Bai Ji and smiled meaningfully. thereafter The author has something to say: King Heng, King Yan, and King Jing left the Jinluan Palace, and only the courtiers did not mention it.
The ministers entered the palace early in the morning to face the saint, and it was not until after noon that they left the palace and returned.
Six days later, the emperor issued an edict to abolish the crown prince, but the prince was still undecided, compared to the anxiety of the ministers, Zhao Shi was surprisingly calm, as if waiting for something.
It wasn't until three months later that a message came from the direction of Yunzhou that for Emperor Zhao Shi, the "time of day" he was looking forward to had finally arrived. gd1806102:
