fake prince

Chapter 686
Similar things happened to many people. In the past two days, everyone who passed by the Imperial Study Room basically heard the screams coming from inside from time to time.

Sometimes the screams are so fierce that they don't seem to be made by a living person, and sometimes they are as thin as a gossamer. People passing by are less timid, fearing that they will have nightmares at night.

Two days of arrest and interrogation finally came to fruition.

"Your Majesty, this note was just found from the Imperial Reserve Supervisor Chen Dou."

Following Eunuch Zhao's report, another blood-stained note was delivered to the table.

Prior to this, there were already two notes on the case.

In this search and interrogation, there were more than a dozen famous and famous eunuchs who were beaten to death, and even more eunuchs who were tortured so badly that they were still breathing.

"Imperial Custodian?"

Although Chen Dou is not considered the chief eunuch of the Imperial Reserve Supervisor, the Imperial Reserve Supervisor manages the Caochang and Huangzhuang, runs the Imperial Store, and has contacts with the Ministry of Households. The emperor's private income is basically managed by the Imperial Reserve Supervisor. Important departments, like the Imperial City Department, are all controlled by the emperor's cronies.

Although Chen Dou was just an ordinary eunuch, being able to work in the imperial storage supervisor was enough to show that he was a direct descendant of the emperor's confidant eunuch.

And such a person was actually bewitched by his son King Qi. Just hearing about such things made him startled.

And the inevitable reaction brought about by panic is rage.

The two days and two nights of torture, and the things found in the search, one pile after another, all proved that not only his good son King Qi, but also King Shu and King Lu had all placed people in the palace!
There is only a difference in quantity!
It was just a follow-up, and he really found out a lot of big melons that shocked him.

When I think that all the people I serve have been wooed, it is hard not to think in a certain direction.

"Niezi!" the emperor roared furiously after hearing this, kicked the imperial case flying, and everything on it rolled to the ground with a gurgle, and the ink was also spilled, staining a stack of high-quality rice paper.

Baiyu's paperweight fell to pieces.

But for those who were standing in the hall at this time, these were all things that they didn't need to care about. Eunuch Zhao watched his nose, his nose, his mouth and his heart. After reporting the matter, he just stood there without saying a word.

The reason for the silence is that under such circumstances, as a great eunuch, he may be wrong in whatever he says, and the best way to deal with it is to wait for the emperor to ask him to answer.

Over there, the old emperor was out of breath, his face was blue and white, the last time King Qi colluded with the general, he let it go, but this time he dared to spy on the secret!

A wave of tyranny hit his heart, and he wanted to punish the crime, but at a glance, he saw "resist haste and endure", which was bestowed on him by his father, and he kept hanging on it, and his body trembled.

If it is pursued, all the kings will be involved, and it will immediately cause a sensation in the world. Not only will it become the first scandal since the founding of the country, but it will also shake the foundation of the country, and it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath.

I only have these few sons, can I kill them all?
Taizu didn't have many sons, and as a result, only three survived due to internal friction, and he only had these three sons when he became an adult. The emperor's lineage is weak, and it is not the blessing of the community.
This sudden awakening seemed to drain all his energy, making him ten years older.

"Have someone tidy up this place and draw up an order for me!" Suddenly, the old emperor, who was still out of breath just now, stabilized his emotions and looked at Eunuch Zhao standing there.

"The Beijing camp has been a little loose recently, let Ji Zizong directly take care of the Habayashi Guard." Speaking of this, the emperor's mouth curled up and he laughed.

This smile, like laughing back from extreme anger, also reveals coldness and killing intent.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and get ready!" Seeing Eunuch Zhao standing there in a daze, the emperor frowned and scolded angrily.

The reason why he was stunned was because Eunuch Zhao was also shocked by the emperor's move.

Can you not be shocked?That's Habayashi Wei!
Let Dai Guogong take charge of Habayashi Guard, the authority given is too heavy.

The Habayashi Guards were the camp that the emperor personally took charge of before he ascended the throne, and later became the Habayashi Guards. It was regarded as the emperor's direct line of arms, and it was also the armies that the prince had once controlled.

Ordinary generals are in charge of the Habayashi Guard, which means that Jane is in the heart of the emperor, but the meaning of the emperor's son and grandson in charge of the Habayashi Guard is completely different, and it is even more imaginative than Jane in the heart of the emperor.

Is the emperor planning to establish a crown prince again?
No, this is to roast Ji Zizong (Su Ziji) on the fire to attract the firepower of the kings.

Obviously, the emperor no longer wanted the kings to stare at him, so he threw a big firecracker!

After figuring out what was going on here, Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, this servant is going to draw up the decree."

"Hurry up, don't clean it up yet!" Eunuch Zhao was known for his quick handling of affairs. On the one hand, he scolded the eunuchs to clean it up, pouring pens and inks, and the imperial decree was completed in an instant, so that the emperor could see it.

The emperor took a look at it, and immediately ordered the seal to be sealed: "You go to Dai Guogong's mansion immediately to pass the decree!"

"Yes!"

Daikoku Mansion
In the main courtyard, a small banquet is being held in the hall, separated by a screen, there are two tables, both of which are female guests, accompanied by Ye Buhui for the time being.

There are two tables outside the screen, with male customers, accompanied by Su Ziji.

Most of the female customers were the wives of officials who had been in contact with Ye Buhui some time ago, and Zhou Yao was among them.

The male guests are several lords who are familiar with Su Ziji, headed by Fang Zhen, and non-official literati who are good at chess.

Not many people were invited to the banquet, including both men and women, there were only 20 people, it was considered a small banquet, and it was to celebrate Ye Buhui becoming the chess master of this year.

Ye Buhui is the chess master of this year, and also the wife of the Duke, so naturally she doesn't have to just accompany the female guests, after chatting with them for a while, she comes out from behind the screen, and celebrates her winning the title of chess master with the outside thank you.

A lofty literati who is good at chess, when facing Su Ziji, the Duke of the State, and Fang Zhen, the young Lord, his manners are polite, but at most they are hard to find fault with.

But when Ye Buhui came out, their attitudes were a little different, as if they saw a well-learned student, they all looked at Ye Buhui with admiration.

This is the attitude that ordinary people who are good at chess will have towards chess masters.

Seeing this scene, Su Ziji couldn't help feeling secretly.

"It's said that these literati have always had their eyes above the top. In fact, these people really don't admire wealth and honor. Because they are obsessed with chess, they respect the chess master who wins the championship in chess. This also corresponds to that sentence , as long as you can reach the pinnacle in a certain line, even if you are the best in the world in excavating dung, you can also be admired by other excavators."

"Besides, piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all elegant things for scholars. It is no wonder that they can take the initiative to send people to give gifts if they can impress the world with things that most scholars in the world know about."

It wasn't these few people who came to give gifts, Su Ziji didn't intend to invite him today.

Seeing Ye Buhui talk to these literati generously and receiving their admiration, Su Ziji was also happy for Ye Buhui.

Being able to get the title of Chess Master and being recognized by those people whose eyes are above the top is already a great achievement for Ye Buhui, and it can let his father-in-law know, and he can rest in peace.

"No matter what, I have done what Ye Weihan procrastinated back then." Su Ziji heaved a sigh of relief, remembering the relief from the book shop back then, his eyes turned soft.
