I rely on food to guide the whole harem

Tang Yinjiang thought that the days were calm, but in fact the dark tide was raging in the court.

After the prince was poisoned to death, General Xu urged Dali Temple to investigate the culprit of the prince's case every day in the court hall, and the emperor also ordered Jin Yiwei to jointly handle the case.

In general cases, after the Jin Yiwei is dismissed, the matter will be involved in a wide range of cases. The fifth prince is unwilling to cause extra problems, and he has already planned to push the matter to the third prince. He found the person responsible for the poisoning and controlled it. He promised to take good care of him. Of course, the poisoner knew what to do to protect his family, so he confessed to the third prince under Jin Yiwei's torture.

It's a pity that he didn't know that, as soon as he explained here, all his family members had been killed by the fifth prince.

And the emperor also knew about this matter from Jin Yiwei's report, he didn't care about the truth of the matter, he just said that the matter ended here, and then he found a high-sounding reason to announce the case to the public.

That night, the emperor called the two princes into the palace.

"Sit down, it's been a long time since I asked you to sit down and have a meal like this, just have a family feast." The voice without any emotion was said from the emperor's mouth.

The fifth prince and the third prince looked at each other and sat down cautiously.

"Xia Duren, do you know each other?" The emperor took a bite of sliced ​​meat and stewed smoked liver in a leisurely manner.

The third prince immediately fell to his knees when he heard the words, Xia Duren was his confidant, the two princes knew why the emperor called him here today, they were afraid that Jin Yiwei would find out who poisoned the prince.

"My son is guilty. Although this person was under his command before, but I don't know about the prince. My son has no intention of murder."

"I have heard about this person, and this person is the principal criminal in the case of the prince? I think this matter should have nothing to do with the emperor." The fifth prince looked calm and peaceful, but in his heart he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

"I'm just asking if you guys know each other. Now that this matter has been settled, there will be no further connection." After speaking, he glanced at the two princes.

"But next time you retract your wings, you have to see clearly." His tone suddenly became serious, "Otherwise, accidents will inevitably happen. I'm afraid it's not good to be poisoned to death suddenly one day."

The atmosphere was suddenly tense, and the fifth prince couldn't calm down as soon as these words came out. Cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead and he didn't even dare to lift his head. He was walking on eggshells.

"Okay, let's just have a family dinner and don't be nervous. Just mentioning any political affairs is just a direct opinion from father and son." Seeing that the effect he wanted has been achieved, the emperor said along the way: "Although the flood in Yuanzhou has calmed down now, There was also general Xu in the riot/chaos, and Jinzhou Dilong suffered heavy casualties and public grievances arose after his turnaround, and a prince is needed to appease the hearts of the people, who do you think is suitable."

General Xu is brave and good at fighting. I am afraid that the situation will be stable when he goes to Jinzhou. All he needs to do is to send some money and food to show that the court is sympathetic. The prestige he can gain is great, as can be seen from the prince's disaster relief.

"My son thinks that my younger brother can take on this important task. My younger brother's far-sightedness in employing people is far beyond what my younger brother can do. My younger brother will surely calm down the people's feelings immediately." Seeing that His Majesty didn't blame him, the third prince didn't dare to take this money. The beauty of fame.

However, the fifth prince heard his father's beating on him and naturally did not dare to take the job. "The emperor's brother is more suitable. The emperor's elder brother is older than me and has more experience in disaster relief in the west. The emperor's brother should be the first."

"Then let the third child go. Jinzhou's [-]-strong city defense force is at your disposal. If you are successful in disaster relief, come back and reward for your merit." After saying that, the emperor turned and left, leaving behind the third and fifth princes.

After the fifth prince returned to the mansion, he was furious and punished many servants and concubines.

Wen Ruoning knew that His Royal Highness had been disadvantaged in the court recently, and had been suppressed by the third prince, so he went into the study to comfort him softly.

After hearing the fifth prince say that the third prince was sent out to help the disaster, Wen Ruoning felt that he could speak out the thoughts in his heart.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is supporting His Majesty the Third Prince. I'm afraid it's because he intends to pass on to him. He's so stupid that he can't see His Highness's talent. It's not as good as us..."

"At this time, the main force is doing disaster relief, and it is still far away from the capital. Even if it is transferred back, it will take time. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have to wait. If you wait for the third prince to grow up, you may not have the opportunity again. Time will not wait, Your Highness. "

A crown prince left, and a third son came, even if other princes besides the third son would not be guaranteed to fall into the eyes of my father, my father loved me the most on the surface, but maybe I still felt that I had half of the blood of the previous dynasty in my heart, No matter what, the throne will not be handed over to me.

That being the case, I don't have to worry about the relationship between father and son.

The fifth prince's eyes gradually became firm and fierce.

On the second day, the fifth prince entered the palace to meet the imperial concubine, and after discussing his interests, the imperial concubine also supported his idea and handed over all the manpower she had arranged in the palace to him.

She has been waiting for this day for too long.

In September of the 24th year of Kaihuang, the fifth prince Qi Yan led the imperial guards to force the palace to rebel, and the family members of the veteran civil servants who were at odds with him were all brought under control.

Tang Yinjiang was awakened by the night watchman, saying that there was a lot of movement outside, and asked her to report to Concubine Liu.

Tang Yinjiang listened to the movement outside and was disturbed. She put on her clothes and was about to find Concubine Liu when she heard a knock on the window. When she opened the window, she saw Tang Jiu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Auntie, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to protect you before leaving. Now that the Fifth Prince is rebelling against you, you are in danger in the palace. Follow your subordinates quickly."

Hearing that the five princes had rebelled, Tang Yinjiang was shocked.

I didn't expect the prince to make arrangements for her before he died, but she couldn't just leave like this. Even if the fifth prince ascended the throne, she, a little court lady, might not be affected. The concubine was buried.

Although the time has been advanced by three years, since he still rebelled without the threat of the prince, it shows that he has a certain degree of confidence to make things happen.

The sacrificial burial is also very likely to come true, Tang Yinjiang was full of panic, and could only grasp Tang Jiu's life-saving straw.

"Can you take Concubine Liu and Concubine Xiang with you?"

Tang Jiu actually didn't quite understand her intentions, but now that time is running out, it's not the time to listen to someone's slow explanation, so he replied directly: "Yes, but I can only take two people with me at a time, and I have to go to Lenggong to pick up Miss Shangguan .”

Tang Yinjiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you go to Lenggong first and send her out. I'll go find Concubine Liu and the others, and we will meet up in Lenggong."

Tang Jiu looked at Tang Yinjiang intently, saw her decisive expression, and thought of her excellent sword skills and deep internal strength, although she can't do light work, she should be fine, so she didn't try to persuade her, and ran to the cold palace.

Tang Yinjiang rushed into the inner hall to wake up Liu Ruyu.

"Wake up, wake up."

Liu Ruyu opened her eyes ignorantly: "What's wrong?"

"The fifth prince is rebellious, we have to leave quickly."

Liu Ruyu was shocked: "Reverse? Did you break through the palace gate?"

She hurriedly got up and dressed in a panic, and calmed down halfway through her clothes and asked: "The fifth prince's rebellion will certainly be suppressed by His Majesty, we just stay in the palace and wait for the result. Isn't it more dangerous to run around?"

"The gate of the palace hasn't been broken yet, but Your Majesty can't win. I have a hunch that the fifth prince will win this time. Let's go out first." Tang Yinjiang went straight to help Liu Ruyu put on her clothes.

"Where are you going? Even if the Fifth Prince wins the battle, he shouldn't make things difficult for us concubines, right?"

Tang Yinjiang said to her with a serious face: "Believe me, the fifth prince will let you all be buried, so we have to go."

Liu Ruyu has always trusted her, once she showed this expression, Liu Ruyu stopped talking, and the two ran to find Su Xiaowan together.

The gate of the palace was already in flames, and the screams of killing could be heard clearly even in the inner palace.

Thick black clouds enveloped the entire capital, and light rain drifted from the sky as if hinting at what would happen that night. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed and the rain intensified sharply. For a while, lightning flashed and thunder roared, roaring and thunderstorm overlapped to surround the capital.

Su Xiaowan had already woken up, and after dressing up a bit, she ordered people to go out to find out the news. Knowing that Tang Yinjiang had brought Liu Ruyu, she hurried to meet her.

"It's so dangerous outside, why are you running here?" He said to Liu Ruyu alone: ​​"You let her go?"

Tang Yinjiang said directly: "Come out with us, don't take anyone with you."

"It's too dangerous to go out now, just talk inside if you have something to say." Su Xiaowan told all the palace people to retreat.

Tang Yinjiang explained the matter as simply as possible: "The fifth prince is about to win, and he will let all the concubines be buried after he ascends to power. The two of us are going to escape from the palace. Do you want to go with us?"

Su Xiaowan was very surprised, "How do you know that the fifth prince will win? He even buried his concubine for treason, isn't he afraid of the world's rumors?"

"Trust me, I won't hurt you!" Tang Yinjiang was anxious.

Su Xiaowan looked at Tang Yinjiang's anxious face, hesitated for a while, and decided to believe, at least believe that Tang Yinjiang would not harm her.

He ordered the palace servants to wait in the palace, saying that they were going to serve His Majesty, but ignored the palace servants' dissuasion, the three of them threw off the palace servants and ran out, trotting all the way to the cold palace.

"Is there any way you can get out of the palace?"

"I also know a Jin Yiwei who is the prince. He said that he can take us out of the palace. We just need to go to the cold palace and wait."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain was pouring on the three of them, and the complicated clothes were soaked, hindering the pace of progress, and the raindrops fell on the face, making people blind.

The three staggered and ran towards the unknown road ahead.

Where Lin Jingyu was released, the county was governed by him in an orderly manner and flourishing day by day.

Before, Qi Yangui faked his death and escaped, and was sent to Lin Jingyu's post. After the poisoning incident, his health was not good. Lin Jingyu invited all the doctors, but it didn't help.

The life here is very peaceful, there are no plots and schemes, no power struggles, but Qi Yangui finally decided to use the secret medicine left by his mother to forcefully suppress his illness again, and the price may be that there is not much life left.

When he picked up the medicine bowl, he turned his head and took a look in the direction of the palace. The mountains and rivers were like layers of barriers, blocking his sight.

"What is your highness thinking?"

"I'm thinking... I must go back as soon as possible."
