Crown Prince's Counterattack

"My lords, please go back. Your Majesty has something important to do. I'm afraid I won't see your lords today."

The servant who delivered the message took a look at Jiang Chong and Su Wen who had ugly faces, turned around and went back to the main hall, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

"How is this going?"

Su Wen lowered his voice and frowned. It was the third time that His Majesty turned them away. This was quite different from His Majesty's attitude in the past. There must be something wrong in the middle.

"how could I know?!"

Facing the questioning from Su Wen, Jiang Chong was also extremely annoyed, with obvious impatience on his face, and he was also puzzled in his heart.

They are too clear that the reason why they have today's status comes from the emperor's favor. If they lose the emperor's trust and reuse, they will have nothing, not to mention how many angry things they have done in these years relying on the emperor's favor, so Once they lose power, then they...the two looked at each other, clearly seeing the fear in each other's eyes.

"Is the new Taoist priest playing tricks behind his back?"

Su Wen looked around and said his guess. After Jiang Chong heard it, he was shocked, his eyes were a little more ponderous, and his heart was inexplicably certain. It seems that the change of His Majesty's attitude seems to be the result of the real person from Qingyuan entering the palace. thing.

It is rumored that there are living gods in Xiangyang, who are highly skilled in Taoism and have the ability to bring the dead back to life. They are highly respected by the people. After this reputation spread to Chang'an, it naturally spread to the ears of His Majesty, who was determined to live forever, and specially ordered to be recruited into the palace. .This incident did not cause any disturbance, especially after His Majesty worshiped Taoism, such things happen from time to time, and everyone has become accustomed to it.However, this real person from Qingyuan is really extraordinary. He was valued by His Majesty as soon as he entered the palace, and he was in the limelight for a while. Even the few immortal masters who entered the palace before were suppressed. Jiang Chong sent someone to check his details. But did not find any useful information.

Now that His Majesty suddenly avoided the two of them, this made them have a bad guess in their hearts.

"No matter what, go and check his details."

After careful consideration, Jiang Chong became suspicious of this real person from Qingyuan. He would rather kill one person if he made a mistake. If that real person really intended to target him, the people behind him were really vicious. Jiang Chong couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

Su Wen nodded, his face was a bit solemn, if this real person from Qingyuan really belonged to someone else, and now His Majesty values ​​him, then the situation is really not good.

"The Gouyi Palace seems to be trying to show their favor, it seems that that person finally lost his composure..."

Jiang Chong and Su Wen couldn't help laughing, with obvious complacency on their faces, this was what they expected, and it was the result of their various schemes.

The emperor is old, and they don't believe in the so-called immortality, so who is the next emperor determines whether they can continue to be the best, but the current situation is that they have severely offended His Royal Highness, Therefore, in order not to be liquidated when the prince ascends to the throne, they absolutely cannot let the current prince ascend the throne. They hope that the prince who is young and easy to grasp will sit in that position, so that they can go further. Therefore, Mrs. Gouyi's son Liu Fuling It became the best candidate for the two of them.

The little prince is still young, and when he really takes power, they must have already prepared a retreat. In addition, there is a more important point, the little prince's biological mother is His Majesty's most beloved concubine. The possibility of Liu Fuling replacing the current crown prince has increased a lot, and this is the reason why the Jiangsu duo put down their heavy bets.

"Looks like it's time to do something"

Jiang Chong had made a series of arrangements as early as when he and Dong Gong were tearing their faces apart, just for this day.Now that His Majesty has changed his mind, they must act as soon as possible.

East Palace

"How's it going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the evidence is solid now, Lord Gongsun has been sent to prison, waiting for His Majesty's punishment"

Sima Yi's face turned cold, and the room fell into silence.

What happened in the early court today was actually reported by the censor, saying that the grand servant, Sun Jing, was arrogant and extravagant, and used the military expenditure of the Northern Army without authorization and the amount was huge, which caused an uproar in the court. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Sima Yi believes that It was simply a conspiracy against him.

Everyone knows that Gongsun Jing is his confidant. Now that Gongsun Jing is involved in the big case of embezzlement of military pay, it is difficult for him to be alone. To put it mildly, even if he doesn't know, he still has to bear the burden of lax control. Fame, he has to abandon his pawns to protect his car, which also means that he must lose some people's hearts. To put it bluntly, if the monarch and his ministers collude to corrupt the Mexican military salary, then even if he is a prince, he will definitely lose his status, so he either cuts off his own help, or He waited for the big basin of sewage to be poured up.

"Keep an eye on the side of the prison, be careful of being tampered with"

"Your Highness means...someone wants to attack Lord Gongsun?"

Someone took a breath, with obvious surprise in his tone.

"Just in case"

Sima Yi's face was serious, he didn't know if the person behind this would take this step, but if he set up this situation, there would be no chance for people to stand up, once Gongsun Jing died in prison, the situation after that would be There is no proof of death, so how can Sima Yi give people a chance to prove the crime.

"Also, find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

It is impossible for such a large amount of money to disappear without a trace, and only a small part was found in Gongsun Jing's mansion, so the real whereabouts of the embezzled military use is questionable...

Sima Yi frowned slightly, this matter looks a bit tricky now, but since Gongsun Jing is working under him, he must not give up on him easily, otherwise it will make many followers feel chilling, Sima Yi always keeps this in mind .

While Sima Yi was still worrying about Gongsun Jing, a bigger wave was coming towards him...

******

Late at night, in the blackness buried in the palace, there was silence.

"Get out, get out, kill! Kill! Kill!"

Liu Che, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, with obvious shock in his eyes, he propped himself up and sat up, panting heavily, the cold sweat on his body soaked through the pajamas, sticking to his skin.

"Has something happened, Your Majesty?"

The servant guarding the outside room heard the movement, and immediately woke up, hurriedly lit up the room, rushed to the couch and looked at Liu Che nervously.

The scene in the dream seemed to be still vivid in his mind, Liu Che was still in shock, there were many people trying to kill him in the dream, whether this foretells something, Liu Che always felt uneasy.

"Go, call the wizard... Also, don't let anyone know about this"

After hesitating for a while, Liu Che decided to call the wizard to make a fortune teller, so that he could feel at ease, but it was not good to be too ostentatious about this matter, so Liu Che specially told them to leave.

The servant carried a palace lantern and disappeared into the vast night...

There was a hasty knock on Jiang Chong's back door outside the palace, and the steward hurriedly called Jiang Chong out of the concubine's room, and respectfully handed him the private letter in his sleeve. The sleepy Jiang Chong looked at the urgent letter sent late at night, his eyes gradually brightened.

Jiang Chong tried his best to calm down the excitement in his heart, and he soon realized that if this matter is handled properly, then he may get what he wants, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing for him.

Liu Che looked intently at the old wizard who was dancing the witch dance and reciting prayers in front of him. Wearing a mask of gods and ghosts, his eyes were deep and bottomless.

As the ceremony slowly progressed to the end, Liu Che stepped forward, looked at the mysterious lines in front of him, and turned his gaze to the old wizard.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Witching Gu!"

The old wizard stared at the burnt lines on the tortoise shell, his faint eyes seemed to be looking at something through Liu Che, his lips trembled slightly, and he said these two words.

"It is so!"

Liu Che's face was livid, his body was suppressed with anger, and his whole body tensed up.

There was actually someone practicing witchcraft in the palace. Such a result was completely beyond Liu Che's expectation, but since he knew now, he must find out the person behind it and take the heavy responsibility.

"Do you know who cast the Gu?"

The old wizard took a deep look at Liu Che, shook his head, and said, "Although I don't know where the person who cast the voodoo is, but the source of the voodoo energy is in this palace."

After hearing this, Liu Che's expression changed.

"Come here, call Jiang Chong into the palace immediately!"

Although Liu Che has been somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Chong these days, he is still satisfied with his ability to handle affairs. Now that something like this happened in the palace, the first thing Liu Che thought of was to let him handle it. After all, Liu Che still trusts him a lot. added.

Jiang Chong has not fallen asleep since he received the letter from the palace. He sat steadily in the study room with a cup of strong tea, always paying attention to the information from the palace. When summoned from the palace, there was a hint of joy on his face.

These days, he has not received any summons from His Majesty. Jiang Chong is not confident that this job will definitely fall on him. His Majesty really asked him to supervise this matter, it was really an excellent opportunity, Jiang Chong's heart was a little hotter, it was a challenge and even a great achievement to be able to pull the crown prince of a country from the altar.

Jiang Chong sat on the carriage heading to the palace, outlined a faint smile, and at this moment there was a little bit of morning light on the horizon.
