The successful marriage between the Wang and Chu families disappointed many people.

The fourth prince Lu Zhaoling was particularly disappointed.

Although he had become attached to the Li family and became the son-in-law of the Li family, he still did not want the Chu family to completely fall in love with the sixth prince, Lu Yuanqing.

Chu Minyu and Wang Xingran got married, which meant that the Chu family was on the side of the sixth prince, Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Zhaoling lost his temper at Li Wanzhen, the fourth prince's concubine: "I finally helped Li Jin get into the position of commander of the imperial guards, but he can't even handle a small thing!"

Li Wanzhen is Li Kuang's second sister.

After marrying into the fourth prince's house, Li Wanzhen devoted herself to being the fourth prince's concubine and carefully managed the house's internal affairs. She often went to the palace on Lu Zhaoling's behalf to serve Concubine Ye, and she was very tolerant even to Lu Zhaoling's concubine Ye Tinglan.

Lu Zhaoling usually would not tell Li Wanzhen about official matters. Today, when he heard Lu Zhaoling mention her second brother Li Jin, Buyou asked:

"What did His Highness the Fourth Prince tell my second brother to do?"

Lu Zhaoling hesitated for a moment and did not continue.

It was indeed Lu Zhaoling who forced Li Jin to arrange those two siege crossbows.

He originally wanted some more masters from the Li family to assassinate Chu Minyu, but on the day of the assassination, the masters did not show up.

Ye Linxuan actually arranged for death soldiers, and because of the appearance of the hundred soldiers, Ye Linxuan stopped the action of death soldiers.

"Zhen'er, I heard that your fourth brother has come back from Ganzhou? Did he find any loopholes in Chu Tianjiao when he went to Ganzhou this time? You call him over tomorrow and I want to ask him carefully."

Li Wanzhen actually knew that her fourth brother had a close relationship with the eldest lady of the Chu family.

It would be difficult to investigate Chu Tianjiao with the help of his fourth brother.

Li Kuang repeatedly advised his family not to get too involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, for fear of causing genocide.

The Li family was forced to get on Lu Zhaoling's boat.

Li Wanzhen knew that her father, Li Bochang, actually wanted to keep his fourth brother Li Kuang away from the family's activities, so that if the fourth prince's boat capsized one day, he could leave a bloodline for the Li family.

Li Wanzhen said: "My fourth brother has an upright temperament and is no match for the Chu family. He is young and has gone to someone else's territory. What can he find out?"

Lu Zhaoling felt that Li Wanzhen was excusing his brother and insisted on seeing Li Kuang.

Li Wanzhen had no choice but to agree to help him call someone over.

Lu Zhaoling was in a bad mood when he left the main courtyard, so he went to Lanxiang Courtyard to find his concubine Ye Tinglan.

Ye Tinglan is now pregnant with Liujia and will give birth in two months.

This is Lu Zhaoling's first child, and he still values ​​​​it very much.

Compared to the dignified and quiet Li Wanzhen, Lu Zhaoling felt that Ye Tinglan, who always thought about him, was more to his liking.

"Lan'er, this operation failed."

"Your Highness, please calm down. Who would have thought that the Second Young Master of Chu would dare to lead a hundred soldiers to marry him?

The Li family was unwilling to send anyone out, and my grandfather couldn't sacrifice his dead soldiers in vain. The failure was excusable. "

Lu Zhaoling sighed: "Lan'er, I always feel that the Li family is not completely aligned with me."

These words played into Ye Tinglan's mind.

"Your Highness, the Li family has a great cause and it is impossible for them to put weight on Your Highness alone.

My grandfather was different.

Not only is His Highness the grandson of his grandfather, but the aunt in the palace also treats His Highness as a parent and son, and with the child in my belly as a connection, the Ye family will definitely support His Highness fully. "

Lu Zhaoling stroked Ye Tinglan's belly and said, "I hope this child can be a son.

If you can give birth before the Crown Princess, the child will be my father's eldest grandson. When my father is happy, he will definitely value me more. "

Ye Tinglan started to sweat coldly.

She knew that she was pregnant later than the Crown Princess.

If she wanted to give birth before the Crown Princess, she could only use drugs to induce labor.

However, using drugs to induce labor may result in one death and two lives, and Ye Tinglan did not dare to take the risk.

Before, they attacked the Crown Princess and wanted her to have an abortion. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess avoided them.

Now that the Crown Princess lives in Qilin Palace and is strictly guarded, they have no chance to strike again.

Ye Tinglan did not answer Lu Zhaoling's words, but asked about the situation in the palace.

Lu Zhaoling frowned and said: "Empress Wang is seriously ill now and she will be ill in just a few days. This is originally a good thing.

But I am a little worried, fearing that Queen Wang will take advantage of his death to remonstrate with his father and force him to establish a heir apparent. "

Ye Tinglan's eyes were stern: "Then let Auntie do it and make her speechless!"

Lu Zhaoling's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be worried: "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it, right?"

Ye Tinglan said with some pride: "Which palace in the palace does not have the chess pieces buried by my aunt? It's just that these chess pieces are too precious and will never be used until the critical moment.

I am unable to move now, so if Your Highness goes to discuss with my grandfather at night, it will be a critical moment. "

Lu Zhaoling was convinced, changed his clothes and went straight to Ye Mansion.

Two days later, in the court hall, the governor of Jingzhao reported the assassination of Chu Minyu on the day of his wedding.

In the court, all the evidence points to Li Jin, the commander of the Imperial Guard.

The emperor was furious.

But Lu Yunkui didn't want to deal with Li Jin.

After Li Jin is dealt with, someone must be found to replace the commander of the Imperial Guard.

At this time, the emperor had no more suitable candidate than Li Jin.

When the emperor was hesitating, the imperial censor took the opportunity to impeach the Li family, ate their salary, and committed murders to make money in Jiaozhou and other places.

An official from the Ministry of Punishment presented evidence that the Ling family, a large family in Jiaozhou, was exterminated and their property was misappropriated by Li Bochang.

Of course, Chu Tianjiao obtained these evidences from Ling Hanbing.

Ling Hanbing's mother was snatched away by the second master of the Ling family. Based on his date of birth, it can be inferred that Ling Hanbing is not a real member of the Ling family.

Ling Hanbing's mother was abused in the Ling family, and he hated the Ling family deeply.

After he gained power, he and Li Bochang, the governor of Jiaozhou, staged a thief cry to catch the thief, wiped out the entire Ling family, and betrayed the Dongyi people.

Most of the Ling family's property was misappropriated by Li Bochang.

Ling Hanbing also avenged his mother.

At the Ganzhou Prefectural Mufu, after Ling Hanbing confessed these confessions, he provided evidence of Li Bochang's involvement.

After Chu Tianjiao returned to Beijing, he sneaked into Ling Hanbing's residence, found evidence, and handed it over to Marquis Li Yang.

Marquis Liyang came forward and handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment.

Under pressure, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the Li family and suspended Li Jin from his post.

Lu Zhaoling and Li Ye never dreamed that the revenge of the King Chu family would come so swiftly that they were caught off guard.

Among the weights that the fourth prince Lu Zhaoling used to seize the throne, one of the most important weights was to allow the Li family to occupy the military power of the Imperial Guard.

If a critical moment comes, the imperial guards can take control of the imperial city and seize the throne with force.

Therefore, Li Jin's position as commander of the imperial guards must not be thrown away.
