After the gloomy cannon fodder was reborn
Chapter 38
When Xue Fuguang was pinned down and unable to move, he silently thought that he had accepted the punishment.
So in the future, you have to be even more unscrupulous, just to be able to afford these tortures.
He closed his eyes and arched his back. After a long while, he collapsed powerlessly again.
Drink that? How about more tonics, make up for it, and make up for it all on the bed.
……
The prince was grounded, and the party struggle in the court seemed to become extremely fierce day by day.
The sixth prince was bitten to death, and if he wanted to seize this rare opportunity, he would definitely not be able to give the prince another chance to make a comeback.
As a result, the people under his command began to actively search for Xiu Jin's whereabouts.
Not for that? Ten thousand taels of gold, for holding Xiu Jin's head and showing it to the prince.Let him be hit hard since then, and he can't get up again.
In such a situation, Du Ru'an stirred the muddy water silently.
The Sixth Prince's power is in full swing, and his reputation among the people is also increasing day by day. If he is not as confused as the prince himself, it will be difficult to shake his foundation.
He can't move, but the queen can.
Du Ru'an seemed to be for the sake of the emperor, calmly handling the water on both sides to prevent either side from falling into a disadvantage.
Even the emperor had no doubts, repeatedly praised him privately in the Palace of Qinzheng for sharing the emperor's worries, and promoted his official position to Cong Yipin.
With Du Ru'an like this, he became the youngest first-rank official in the entire Yasukuni.
No one knows, he just wants to burn the fire, and it is best to make the fire burn as big as possible.
In this way, the emperor had a headache, so no one would have noticed an insignificant brocade.
In such a chaotic situation, news from the Xiu family came from the northern border.
The flames of war reignited.
The emperor got bigger and bigger, and immediately ordered to prepare troops and prepare food.
The coach who was originally called back to control the Mobei iron cavalry, now has to take the initiative to put him back.
He even let Prince Gong go to Mobei.
The entire imperial city seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds.
Especially the officials of the upper court are always afraid of offending the emperor and committing crimes against themselves.
Under such circumstances, there are only a few left who can live in peace and contentment.
Xue Fuguang looked at some correspondence every day, and leaned against the corridor in the courtyard to enjoy the evening breeze.
Got it? Xue Hongwen asked someone to pass the message, and smiled: "My birthday is next month."
The servant who came to pass on the message was at a loss: "Small one, will you go back and pass it on to Lord Hou? But His Royal Highness, the border war is urgent, and Master Hou may not be able to stay until next month. It will be the birthday of the son next month."
He was worried, and hoped that his son would forgive his Lord Hou.
After all, Lord Hou loves the son the most. If the son is unhappy because of this, Lord Hou will be sad.
But Xue Fuguang pressed the paper in his hand and said: "There is no need to leave a birthday. The birthday gift has already been received?"
He bent his eyes and smiled, with a strange brilliance passing through his pupils, as if he was looking forward to what? A pleasant scene, and said: "You tell Lord Hou and the prince that there is no need to make arrangements for the birthday ceremony this time. There is no need to worry about it. At that time, I will give myself a big gift and let them wait for the good news."
The boy nodded hurriedly.
Mu Jianshu was by his side, looked at his smile, and called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty."
Xue Fuguang raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Mu Jianshu said: "Recently, the prince seldom orders his subordinates to do things."
Xue Fuguang lowered his brows and eyes again: "Yes. If it is useful to you, I will order it naturally."
A bamboo leaf fell from Xue Fuguang's knee at some point.
The rustling of the wind has become a familiar sound in the bamboo pavilion.
The tips of the bamboo leaves are yellow, and there is a layer of withered yellow rings around the edges of the slender leaves.
He raised his hand and brushed it away, looked at Shao Jing not far away, who was pouting his buttocks, cleaning up fallen leaves under the bamboo forest, and murmured in a low voice: "There is a war at the border this year, so the autumn hunting should not be able to be done."
I also want to meet that wild tiger, process its skin and give it to Shaojing.
After reading the things in his hand, he didn't hand them over to Mu Jianshu to burn them, but called Shao Jing to put them in a box for storage.
After less than half a month, Prince Gong and Xue Hongwen finished their army formation and set off for the north.
In order to prevent changes in the northwest, Qin Wuyun was also sent back by the emperor and guarded in the northwest.
Xue Fuguang watched his elder brother and father leave from the city wall, and the temperature in his eyes seemed to have cooled down a lot.
It's like being pulled away.
He closed his hood, which had been bulged by the strong wind, and carried his robes down the tower.
Mu Jianshu's hand was always quietly on the side to prevent Xue Fuguang from accidentally falling.
After Xue Fuguang stepped on the ground, he suddenly grabbed Mu Jianshu's hand and asked, "I've never asked before, why are you called Qu Wu?"
The two boarded the carriage as if no one else was around.
Xue Fuguang's expression remained the same, and there was no Mu Jianshu? What's the matter? He replied in a low voice, "There is someone with this surname in the family."
Xue Fuguang leaned against the carriage, took off his hood, and naturally turned his head to let Mu Jianshu tidy up his messy hairband, and said, "If I didn't? I remember correctly, the royal family of the Ying Dynasty was named Qu."
"People from Ying Dynasty, shouldn't there be taboos?"
Mu Jianshu's fingers holding the hairband were sluggish for a moment, and then he calmed down as usual. With tangled black hair, he answered Xue Fuguang's words in a low voice: "There are few taboos in the Ying Dynasty, and there are quite a few people who use this surname."
Did Xue Fuguang? Let’s continue asking.
Mu Jianshu breathed a sigh of relief.
But what was strange in his heart, he hoped that Xue Fuguang would continue to ask.
If he used a questioning tone again, looking at him and asking "really?", he would definitely not be able to bear it, and would tell all about what should be said and what should not be said.
Perhaps, when facing Xue Fuguang, he was not so loyal to Ying Chao.
However, his eldest son no longer asked him.
After Xue Fuguang returned to the palace, he went to see Xue Wanxi.
Xue Wanxi didn't go to the city wall to see her brother and father off? She felt a little unwell.
Xue Fuguang left Mu Jianshu and Shao Jing outside the house, and when he entered the house, he saw Xue Wanxi curled up on the bed.
He couldn't help tightening the corners of his lips and biting his teeth.
The appearance of Xue Wanxi's eyes is exactly the same as the appearance of the Li family who died of a miscarriage and bleeding.
With a pale face, he curled up covering his lower abdomen, cold sweat dripped from his forehead and temples, and his breath became much weaker.
Xue Fuguang squatted down beside the couch, held Xue Wanxi's colder hand than his, and called softly, "Sister."
Xue Wanxi smiled slowly, and said warmly: "Well, brother and father are gone?"
Xue Fuguang nodded.
Pain? He clenched his cold palm even tighter, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, does it hurt?"
Seeing his appearance, Xue Wanxi felt that his heart was so weak that he touched his head in front of him: "No? Not so? It hurts. Alright, Ah Ru don't have to worry about my sister, just get some sleep. That's it."
Xue Fuguang responded in a low voice.
I thought in my heart, but at that time, my sister said she was in pain.
Xue Fuguang held his elder sister's hand, as if he was absorbing some strength.
It must be done.
Xiu Jin and the prince must die.
Never fail.
The atmosphere in the Queen's Palace was gloomy.
Probably in the entire palace, the only one that could have a worse atmosphere than the emperor was the empress's palace.
Even the big mandarin duck-eyed cat raised in the palace was taken away by the servants, and they dared not let it come out for several days, for fear of offending the queen.
The incident of the crown prince being banned in the East Palace happened so suddenly that the queen was caught off guard.
She didn't expect at all? The prince would stumble twice on the same thing.
The confidant eunuch whispered in front of her: "The news came to the palace this morning, saying that the Sixth Prince sent someone to submit a copy, and he is going to join Mr. Liu for a copy."
The queen slapped the table angrily, and the little maid who was combing her hair behind her pulled her hair, making her gasp in pain.
The eunuch immediately stepped forward and kicked the little maid to the ground: "I don't have anything heavy in my hand! How dare you hurt your empress and still not get out!"
Chasing away that little maid, the queen slowly calmed down the anger in her chest, and suppressed: "Okay, very good. This is to take advantage of the crown prince being grounded, and prepare to usurp the position of the crown prince."
The eunuch hesitated: "Your Majesty, what should I do? How about contacting the other adults to act first?"
The queen sneered: "This news has reached you and me. I'm afraid that the sixth prince has already prepared a perfect plan, and he will make admonitions in the court later. What do you use? Go and strike first? Rely on this Open mouth, empty mouth and white teeth?"
The eunuch was sweating coldly on his forehead: "Yes, it's because the slave didn't think well."
The queen had a headache, and couldn't help cursing Xiu Jin fiercely in her heart.
In the end, it still went around to the prince.
I really don't know what is in his mind all day long? Stuff.
She pondered for a moment, then asked: "Recently, how has Du Ruan performed in the court?"
The eunuch immediately said: "Master Du is currently promoted from a first-rank official, and he is in the limelight. Your Majesty is right? He trusts him very much. And this Lord Du is also a master who does not touch two ends. Although he does not help the sixth prince, he also... ignores it." our people."
The queen said: "Then? It's the top [-] boards."
She lowered her eyes, thought for a moment and said: "You ask someone to find a way to deliver a letter to Du Ru'an early in the morning, and ask him to hit the sixth prince with today's board. Let him think clearly, now that the sixth prince is powerful, if he still If you don't want the situation to tilt, then it's best to suppress the Sixth Prince's arrogance."
The eunuch immediately responded, bowed his back and stepped back quickly.
The morning journey is not short.
After entering the gate of the palace, you have to dismount and walk.
Du Ru'an met a young eunuch on the road, who was carrying a tray of things, bowed his head and walked hurriedly.
Just staring at the road under his feet, not even looking at people, like a novice who has just entered the palace.
Du Ru'an originally wanted to avoid it, but thought of something?, and continued to move forward along the original direction.
Sure enough, he was hit by the little eunuch.
The other party apologized again and again, picked up the things on the ground and put them back in the tray.
Du Ru'an also knelt down and picked up two for him.
Then he was held down.
Tears of panic came out from Fang's face, and he begged, "I'm reckless, I beg you to bypass me this time. Next time, I will definitely have eyes!"
Something stuffed in the hand.
Caught between the fingers.
It's thin paper.
Du Ruan's heart skipped a beat, first he thought of Xue Fuguang.
But soon, he dismissed the idea.
Xue Fuguang is an extremely cautious person, he has used the method of spreading news once, but he has never seen him use it for the second time.
At this juncture, then? It's either the sixth prince or the empress's.
Du Ruan restrained his expression, stood up and brushed away the dust from the hem of his official robe.
Then? The little eunuch also knelt in front of him, hurriedly patting the dust for him, his face was covered with tears, and he looked young.
The momentum created here immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Du Ru'an stepped back and pulled away: "Forget it, I don't care about you."
Compared with Xue Fuguang's method, it is still weaker.
Let's just keep it cool, but I just found such a person who wants to cover up.
He bowed his head, his palms were tucked into his wide sleeves, and he disappeared.
The note was crushed under his fingertips and dropped bit by bit along the way.
Today's morning court is nothing more than a quarrel.
The six princes stood at the forefront, reporting one by one the follow-up of the resettlement of the people suffering from the recent epidemic.
Then it will be reported by other people.
After these things were over, a spokesperson suddenly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Liu Yunci, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, for disregarding human life, colluding with officials and businessmen, selling private salt, and allowing the children of the clan to rob people's daughters!"
"My minister also wants to impeach Liu Shangshu. There are a total of 43 crimes, all of which are listed in this notebook!"
"Your Majesty, my humble minister also..."
Suddenly, dozens of people were listed in the hall.
Whether the official position is high or low, they all have righteous words.
Liu Yunci, who was impeached, had a dark complexion, and knew very well what was going on this time.
But he restrained his emotions very quickly, and quickly stepped out, weeping sadly as if he had been wronged: "Your Majesty has learned! My minister is wronged! Why do you want to frame my minister like this!"
The emperor frowned, and waved his hand to ask the chief eunuch to bring up those papers and look over them one by one.
Another? Someone said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have prepared the evidence of Liu Shangshu's crime of selling private salt. Please eunuch present it for your Majesty to have a look at!"
"And that? The family members of the women who were robbed are also waiting outside the palace, waiting for the face? Holy! His Majesty Wan Wang has learned from you, and let those? Poor people be fair!"
There was a lot of noise in the hall.
Naturally, it is impossible for the princelings to watch Liu Yunci fall into a dangerous situation, one after another began to speak forcefully to prove his innocence, and said that those who impeached him all had frictions with him, and they harbored grudges for revenge. .
The sixth prince stood in front, silent.
There was an imperceptible smile in the depths of his eyes.
Liu Yunci, as the minister of the Ministry of punishment, can be said to be the main force of the princeling party.
If he is pulled down, the princelings will be seriously injured.
Even if the prince is released by the emperor in the future, it will no longer be enough to threaten the status of the sixth prince in the court.
The emperor had a headache from the noise.
At a glance, he saw his loyal young minister, and raised his hand to signal His Highness to silence all the people in the room: "Du Aiqing, do you have any opinion on this matter?"
Du Ru'an cupped his hands: "In my humble opinion, this matter should be investigated and dealt with according to the law. The matter is related to Lord Shangshu. There is a matter of private salt and human life. Don't make a decision lightly. If you don't let the imperial army start a search and verify the credible evidence, your majesty will It’s not too late to judge.”
The emperor pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Du Aiqing's words are reasonable. In this case, the Imperial Army will lead people to search. As for Liu Yunci...for the time being, he will be suppressed in the mansion. His wife, children and servants at home are not allowed to leave the mansion at will until the Imperial Army finds out the results. "
Liu Yunci immediately said loudly: "My minister, thank you Your Majesty!"
The joy in the sixth prince's eyes disappeared suddenly.
This Du Ru'an is really an eyesore?
If it is fair and honest, asking him to suppress it every time will ruin his good deeds.It would be too much of a coincidence.
After the court, the sixth prince came out of the hall and immediately ordered people: "Go and send more people to find out who Du Ru'an has been in contact with recently."
Now is the critical moment.
Half of the princelings have fallen, and he only needs to knock down Liu Yunci, the last big tree. The only thing he needs to worry about in the future is the emperor.
Don't allow Du Ru'an to play tricks secretly.
Not long after he was worried, Du Ruan found out who he had contacted recently.
"Master Du was bumped into by a young eunuch when he went to court in the morning. The servants went to check the trace of the little eunuch again, but no one could even find out the name. They sent it to the palace specially. Right now, the corpses are completely destroyed."
In the palace, who else can move such hands and feet besides the queen?
The sixth prince sneered: "Okay, very good! I thought what was this Du Ru'an? A loyal and respectful person who won the favor of his father? It turned out that he had already become the prince's running dog in secret! It's really good acting, not only fooled me, but even I'm afraid father is also in the dark!"
He was so angry that he slapped the table angrily: "Go and investigate Du Ru'an! Even the entire capital and auxiliary mansion has been investigated! This hall doesn't believe it. What is there in this world? A person with two sleeves."
He thought about it: "Du Chengfeng? The old man has never kept his face on his face, and now he has disappeared even more than Du Ruan, and rarely speaks out in the court. Now even the emperor can't remember that he has such a chief assistant."
"It's just that I don't know, compared with his son, Mr. Shoufu is really just or fake."
This search soon alarmed the chief assistant.
When the guards left with the half-dead thief in hand, Du Chengfeng paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.
I didn't know for a while whether I should regret adopting Du Ruan.
He didn't sleep all night, and after facing down early the next day, he didn't leave the palace as usual, but went to Qinzheng Hall.
Before entering the door, he knelt down first: "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to protect the lives of my family!"
The emperor held his arm in amazement. He was puzzled by the behavior of this old official: "Chengfeng! You are my chief assistant, who can harm you!?"
Du Chengfeng refused to get up, and mournfully said: "I don't know how to offend His Highness the Sixth Highness, but secretly sent people into my study to steal disrespectful objects! I think that I have been cautious for half my life, and never dared to do anything disrespectful." My respect is all for the sake of Yasukuni! My humble minister is old, so I can't stand this kind of twists and turns!"
The more the emperor heard it, the more furious he became, and his beard trembled along with his lips: "Come here! Prince Xuan Liu!"
Du Chengfeng shouted to stop the emperor: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is now confined in the East Palace, and His Highness Six is gaining more and more prestige in the court. If Your Majesty calls His Highness Six to confront him, it will only chill His Heart and make him more targeted. Veterans and others who are loyal to His Majesty! Wanwang Your Majesty think twice! I only ask Your Majesty to save the lives of more than a hundred people in the family!"
The emperor's beard trembled even more.
What? Since then, as the emperor, he has to weigh the consequences when teaching his son?
He even moved his mind to let the prince out of the East Palace.
In order to suppress the arrogance of the sixth prince.
But in a blink of an eye, he thought of that little eunuch who hadn't been found yet, and took back his princeling thoughts.
Didn't he only have one son, the prince, and the sixth prince is now outstanding, so he might take this opportunity to examine his talent.
Compared to a dazed prince who loves men but loves beauties but not country, it is obvious that a ruthless prince is more in his favor.
Even if the sixth prince didn't meet his wishes that much, it would be good to use it as an opponent of the princeling party and let the prince know that the throne is not a certainty.
The emperor supported Du Chengfeng to stand up: "Aiqing is justified. I will beat him up, Aiqing doesn't need to worry. I am still here, and I must know Aiqing's loyalty, and I will not be deceived by some small tricks."
Du Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise! With His Majesty's support, I feel at ease. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for this collision."
The emperor waved his hand.
Du Chengfeng lowered his eyes.
He didn't expect the emperor to do anything to his own son for him.
What he wanted was for the sixth prince to see him.
If you want to move the Du family, it is tantamount to moving the imperial party.
Against the emperor? It is tantamount to treason.
……
Xue Fuguang laughed out loud.
This Lord Chief Assistant is a good plan.
A mature character is much more powerful than Du Ruan.
It's a pity that there is an unfilial son who is holding back.
He is indeed a sincere imperialist, but Du Ruan is not.
Now that the court is full of turmoil, how do you feel about the crown prince who can't get out of the East Palace? Think.
Xue Fuguang lowered his eyes, and handed out the paper in his hand: "Burn it."
"Good!" Shao Jing responded.
Did Xue Fuguang turn his head? He found Mu Jianshu's figure.
At this moment, there was a knock on the window.
Shao Jing pushed open the window, and by the moonlight and the candlelight in the house, he saw clearly that it was a pigeon with its head tilted, and it called "coo coo" twice.
He smiled and took the pigeon into the house: "Ah, son, it's the first time I've seen the pigeon pass the letter."
Xue Fuguang took the bamboo tube he handed over, and pulled out a note from it.
After reading it, I lowered my eyes.
Should he be happy?
Fortunately, he went to Dingzhou back then, and when he left, he had a backup, making Dingzhou an iron bucket in his hands.
If Ying Chao wanted to send a letter from Dingzhou, he had to pass through him.
Now he really wants to know what Mu Jianshu's plan is.
In Xiaqi Tower, Mu Jianshu was rushed back by a special method of sending messages.
He held a secret order in his hand.
The secret order was written by Emperor Ying himself.
According to the letter, the emperor has already learned about the current situation in Yasukuni, let him grasp the internal strife, and it is best to notice it in real time?
Take this opportunity to assassinate the prince.
Let's deal with Xue Fuguang together, so as not to leave him with endless disasters in the future.
Mu Jianshu's eyes were gloomy.
He had already strictly ordered that no one should send any news about Xue Fuguang back to Yingchao.
But Ying Chaonei still knew of Xue Fuguang's existence, and even knew his recent actions like the back of his hand.
Some of his men betrayed him.
Mu Jianshu folded the secret order in his hand, lit it on the candle, threw it into the copper basin, and said in a cold voice: "Prepare to do something to the prince. Give me the list of all the people who have been in the imperial city recently."
"Yes, my lord, wait a moment."
When Mu Jianshu came back to listen to Zhuxuan, Xue Fuguang hadn't gone to bed yet.
He drooped his brows and eyes? In the candlelight, the gorgeous color didn't fade, but it seemed to be softer.
Xue Fuguang saw the shadow swaying in the corner of his eyes, and he didn't raise his eyes, nor asked his whereabouts, but said: "If the prince is not dealt with, the sixth prince will not be able to resist jumping over the wall. You go to Du Ruan's secret room tomorrow, and will you repair the brocade?" Catch it back."
Mu Jianshu: "Yes."
He walked behind Xue Fuguang, and through his shoulder and neck, he saw the things he listed on the paper.
It was a plan to assassinate the prince.
Absolutely complete and thoughtful.
I even made second-hand preparations. If one plan fails, there is another plan in reserve.
He was following Xue Fuguang, watching him step by step? Countless people plotted against him, and turned the court of Yasukuni into a filthy muddy water with no visible background.
And without leaving any stone unturned, everyone's reaction was exactly as he expected.
It is not incomprehensible that the emperor of the Ying Dynasty was wary of such a person, and even ordered to get rid of him as soon as he wanted to deal with the crown prince of a country.
But before, Xue Fuguang had always been a dandy, and if his expectations were correct, he was planning to be a dandy for the rest of his life, hanging out with those stupid cronies, eating, drinking and having fun every day.
Instead of being scheming now, and even eyeing the throne.
He still doesn't know why Xue Fuguang is so devoted to the death of the crown prince and Xiu Jin.
An unsuccessful calculation was not enough for Xue Fuguang to make such a big change to himself.
He wanted to ask if there was anything else he didn't know.
But Xue Fuguang will definitely not tell him.
The boy bowed his head and finished writing, pressed the remaining corner with paper, and put down the pen to wait for the ink to dry.
He coughed twice, and a glass of water was brought by his side, and he took it and drank it, with a slightly sandy voice: "The day after tomorrow is my birthday. There are no banquets in the mansion, but you can distribute some gold and silver leaves to the servants. Feel happy. You go and ask Shao Jing to prepare. The big kitchen in the mansion is also called to arrange... huh!"
Mu Jianshu, this dog thing, commits the following crimes!
Xue Fuguang opened his eyes, feeling that Mu Jianshu was getting more and more presumptuous in front of him.
He couldn't breathe, just took a breath, and said out of breath: "Get out?!"
Not knowing what he is saying now, even a saint would break the precept.
Not to mention, Mu Jianshu had relapsed a long time ago and had tasted the smell of meat.
Just don't know.
To be patient after knowing it is a thousand times more difficult than before.
He was pulled off his socks, and his wide palms easily wrapped around his ankles, and he held them up high.
Mu Jianshu also called him in a low voice: "Master."
Xue Fuguang replied to him: "Get lost!"
Mu Jianshu seemed to be offended.
Did he have a temper in front of Xue Fuguang, but the strength in his movements? He spoke of his anger silently.
Xue Fuguang was so tossed out of crying, he reached out to grab the bed curtain to draw some strength.
But the dog Mu Jianshu didn't even allow this, he thrust his fingers between his fingers forcefully, held him tightly, hugged him and sat up.
Asked him hoarsely: "What does the master want? A birthday gift?"
Xue Fuguang couldn't say no and get out.
Every time he mentioned this word, Mu Jianshu would torment him even more.
He collapsed into Mu Jianshu's arms, with tears streaming down his eyes, sobbing and saying harshly: "I want the prince and Xiu Jin to die!"
Mu Jianshu agreed.
He kissed the back of Xue Fuguang's neck, and said softly: "Okay."
It seemed that no matter what Xue Fuguang said, he would agree.
……
When Xue Fuguang woke up the next day, his eyes were swollen.
He endured the soreness and discomfort in his eyes, closed his eyes for a moment, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, his legs went limp.
He cursed in a low voice: "You bastard!"
Mu Jianshu was not there, so he couldn't hear the scolding.
Xue Fuguang knew that most likely he was going to kidnap Xiu Jin and come back.
He called Shao Jing, after changing his clothes, he got into the carriage and went to visit the sixth prince.
The sixth prince has now built a mansion outside the palace, but he has not been crowned king yet.
The sixth prince was anxious about the emperor's suppression, when he suddenly heard Xue Fuguang coming, he was very surprised: "Come in, please!"
The irritability on his face was gone.
Since Xue Fuguang came to the door on his own initiative, he must be doing business with him.
With him taking action, there is probably a solution to the urgent need at the moment.
He warmly greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. Chonghe is really pleasantly surprised to come to visit today!"
Xue Fuguang looked at the scene in his mansion, and asked with a smile: "Is this the mansion of King Yu of the former dynasty?"
The sixth prince nodded, and asked the servant to make tea: "Exactly. Now that the epidemic is over, and the frontier wars are starting again, it's time to continue to pay money. It would be a waste to build a new mansion. If we don't repair this old mansion, it can be regarded as a relief for the country. "
What he said is so grand, those who don't know can believe it.
Xue Fuguang just smiled and asked: "A few days ago, I asked His Highness to investigate something about the Ying Dynasty. I wonder if there is any clue?"
It's the little things.
Yasukuni's secret agents collect countless pieces of information in the Ying Dynasty every year. Now that he has real power, it is not difficult to get it.
Immediately clapped his hands and ordered someone to bring it up: "If the son doesn't come to the door, Chonghe also planned to send it to the door tomorrow."
However, he was very curious: "I don't know my son, what's the use of suddenly searching for news about the Ying Dynasty? The royal family is secretive, it's not so easy to get it? My spies from the Jing Kingdom have lost a lot in the Ying Dynasty Palace. "
Xue Fuguang asked Shao Jing to accept it? It was packed in a wooden box, and it was recorded in a thick stack of secret letters.
The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the thick and long eyelashes pressed out a layer of gray shadow: "Think about how to start with the royal family of the Ying Dynasty and help the Yasukuni rule."
The sixth prince was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "My son is so ambitious!"
Xue Fuguang continued: "Your Highness, have you ever visited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace?"
Seeing him mentioning the crown prince suddenly, the sixth prince said seriously, "Father grounded the emperor, brother, how should I go? Let the emperor reflect on his mistakes, so that he can lift the restraint as soon as possible. The prince is worried about the emperor, if not, he is also worried about Chonghe .”
Xue Fuguang lowered his brows and eyes, but the corners of his mouth did not draw a curve. He smiled half a smile: "Fuguang is also very worried about His Highness's current situation, so he is going to give His Highness a big gift tonight."
The eyes of the sixth prince brightened slightly: "Oh? Are you serious? So, Chonghe is waiting for the prince's gift!"
Xue Fuguang was too lazy to sit down.
Thinking that soon, he would be able to kill the prince, so he was not in the mood to continue playing tricks with the sixth prince.
"After receiving the gift, Your Highness, remember to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow. Even though it's a confinement, His Majesty must hope that all His Highnesses can live in harmony with each other."
"Fuguang will go first? Farewell."
The sixth prince watched his leaving back.
Squinting? Ask: "Guess, what is the big gift he is talking about?"
The eunuch next to him sneered: "This, His Highness is really not a slave. The slave can't guess."
The sixth prince said: "This hall can't guess." He laughed happily, "But even he said it was a great gift, so it must be a good thing!"
The sixth prince guessed all afternoon, and was still surprised when he saw the big living person from the box at night.
The eunuch started to test: "Your Highness, it is alive."
The sixth prince stared at the somewhat familiar face in the box, and ordered someone to close it: "It is indeed a great gift."
He clapped his palms and turned around: "Interesting, really interesting. The person who no one can find? Xue Fuguang actually found him. Or is he hiding this person and waiting for today?"
He muttered for a while, then laughed again: "It's so interesting."
He looked at the box like a baby, and ordered the servants to move it lightly: "I think the emperor will see it tomorrow? This big gift will also be very pleasantly surprised, right?"
"This hall really can't wait."
……
Xue Fuguang didn't feel ecstatic.
He was a little nervous.
If it fails, the next time you kill the prince, you don't know when it will be.
What's more, his father and brother have already gone to the border, waiting for him to succeed in one fell swoop.
If he is unsuccessful, then Prince Gong and Xue Hongwen will bring back the army from Mobei and forcibly expel the subordinates of the Ming family.
But this is not what Xue Fuguang wants.
If you want to kill the king and seize the throne, you don't want to bear this vicious infamy.
I have been scolded enough in my previous life.
He ordered Mu Jianshu to personally send Feng Wenhua into the palace.
The palace has arranged support staff, who can avoid human eyes and quietly let them enter the East Palace ahead of time.
Waiting for the sixth prince to arrive, bring Xiu Jin in.
He wanted Mu Jianshu to see the prince die in person.
Then cut off his head.
Otherwise, Xue Fuguang cannot guarantee that under the twisted plot, whether such bizarre events as "fake death" will happen.
After Mu Jianshu brought the unconscious Feng Wenhua into the palace, Xue Fuguang went to meet another person.
Zhou Minshan who joined the Forbidden Army.
Xue Fuguang looked at the noisy street full of people.
In August, autumn has begun.
The sun is no longer hot, but it is still warm, bright white and dazzling.
Xue Fuguang felt a little cold.
He was leaning against the window, and half of the sunlight fell on him, making the division between light and dark extremely strong.
"Keep an eye on those who sneak into the palace, don't miss any of them."
Zhou Minshan smiled: "Master, don't worry. Half of the imperial guards are now ours."
"Well. If so, when you watched the sixth prince leave the East Palace, there was still no one to respond? If those people do something, you should do it first? Do it first. Remember to make a fuss, and let the imperial guards who are not under your command rush to the front."
He paused: "What's more, kill everyone in the East Palace except the sixth prince."
Zhou Minshan was stunned: "Master, but..."
Xue Fuguang turned his back to him, so that he could not see the expression on his face.
I just heard his cold words: "Of course he is no exception."
Cold sweat slowly oozes from Zhou Minshan's back.
He bowed his head in response, and walked out of the room lightly.
Xue Fuguang bathed in the sunlight, but he couldn't feel the warmth.
Hot and cold.
He lowered his eyes, waiting for the news from the sunset.
He had already speculated about Mu Jianshu's identity in his mind.
There were not many people with the Qu and Mu surnames in the Ying Dynasty.
It is difficult to find out, right? Xue Fuguang is not too difficult.
Some of the people he stayed in Dingzhou had slowly infiltrated into Yingchao, searching for information based on their characteristics.
Then in the hands of the sixth prince, the news that Yasukuni has been involved in for many years can be checked in pairs, and Mu Jianshu's identity can be fixed between three or five people.
These three people are not people of extraordinary status in Wuyi of the Ying Dynasty.
But one died prematurely.
One person is currently in the Ying Dynasty.
There is another person, logically speaking, should also be in the Ying Dynasty, but no one has seen him for many years.
The one who died young was the eldest son of the current queen of the Ying Dynasty.
Is the age right? But as the eldest prince, even if he is alive, it is absolutely impossible for him to do meticulous work.
And the only remaining person whose whereabouts are unknown is also the prince of the Ying Dynasty.
It's just that it's said that she grew up in the cold palace, fending for herself, maybe she died in the palace a long time ago, becoming a bone of bones.
She has the same father as the eldest prince, but her identity is very different.
The reason is that the prince who was abandoned in the cold palace had a biological mother who was a concubine from the queen's family.
Her heart was higher than the sky, and she vainly tried to replace the queen, and went to the dragon bed of the drunken emperor. After giving birth to a prince, she was hanged.As a result, the child was rejected and thrown into the cold palace.
Of these three people, obviously only one was able to be trained as a child and then sent to the enemy country to die.
Mu Jianshu's real name should be Qu Jianshu.
Xue Fuguang knocked on the window sill.
Think slowly, and also take this to ease your anxiety.
If this is the status, Mu Jianshu has not yet had the opportunity to kill the prince in this period of the original text.
What about his power in the Ying Dynasty?
He has already ascended to the position of secret agent, and the entire Ying Dynasty's detailed operation system is in his hands, so his status should not be low.
If you do it right, you might even have a chance to win that? The throne.
But compared to these questions, Xue Fuguang actually wants to know one thing more now.
He wanted to know the result of Donggong.
Not just wondering if the crown prince can die.
I also want to know if Mu Jianshu can live.
He can't take the risk.
Therefore, the secret order of Yingchao's spies was intercepted shortly after entering the territory of Dingzhou, and sent to? He wanted to know what Mu Jianshu's plan was.
He wants to know, Mu Jianshu?
So in the future, you have to be even more unscrupulous, just to be able to afford these tortures.
He closed his eyes and arched his back. After a long while, he collapsed powerlessly again.
Drink that? How about more tonics, make up for it, and make up for it all on the bed.
……
The prince was grounded, and the party struggle in the court seemed to become extremely fierce day by day.
The sixth prince was bitten to death, and if he wanted to seize this rare opportunity, he would definitely not be able to give the prince another chance to make a comeback.
As a result, the people under his command began to actively search for Xiu Jin's whereabouts.
Not for that? Ten thousand taels of gold, for holding Xiu Jin's head and showing it to the prince.Let him be hit hard since then, and he can't get up again.
In such a situation, Du Ru'an stirred the muddy water silently.
The Sixth Prince's power is in full swing, and his reputation among the people is also increasing day by day. If he is not as confused as the prince himself, it will be difficult to shake his foundation.
He can't move, but the queen can.
Du Ru'an seemed to be for the sake of the emperor, calmly handling the water on both sides to prevent either side from falling into a disadvantage.
Even the emperor had no doubts, repeatedly praised him privately in the Palace of Qinzheng for sharing the emperor's worries, and promoted his official position to Cong Yipin.
With Du Ru'an like this, he became the youngest first-rank official in the entire Yasukuni.
No one knows, he just wants to burn the fire, and it is best to make the fire burn as big as possible.
In this way, the emperor had a headache, so no one would have noticed an insignificant brocade.
In such a chaotic situation, news from the Xiu family came from the northern border.
The flames of war reignited.
The emperor got bigger and bigger, and immediately ordered to prepare troops and prepare food.
The coach who was originally called back to control the Mobei iron cavalry, now has to take the initiative to put him back.
He even let Prince Gong go to Mobei.
The entire imperial city seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds.
Especially the officials of the upper court are always afraid of offending the emperor and committing crimes against themselves.
Under such circumstances, there are only a few left who can live in peace and contentment.
Xue Fuguang looked at some correspondence every day, and leaned against the corridor in the courtyard to enjoy the evening breeze.
Got it? Xue Hongwen asked someone to pass the message, and smiled: "My birthday is next month."
The servant who came to pass on the message was at a loss: "Small one, will you go back and pass it on to Lord Hou? But His Royal Highness, the border war is urgent, and Master Hou may not be able to stay until next month. It will be the birthday of the son next month."
He was worried, and hoped that his son would forgive his Lord Hou.
After all, Lord Hou loves the son the most. If the son is unhappy because of this, Lord Hou will be sad.
But Xue Fuguang pressed the paper in his hand and said: "There is no need to leave a birthday. The birthday gift has already been received?"
He bent his eyes and smiled, with a strange brilliance passing through his pupils, as if he was looking forward to what? A pleasant scene, and said: "You tell Lord Hou and the prince that there is no need to make arrangements for the birthday ceremony this time. There is no need to worry about it. At that time, I will give myself a big gift and let them wait for the good news."
The boy nodded hurriedly.
Mu Jianshu was by his side, looked at his smile, and called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty."
Xue Fuguang raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Mu Jianshu said: "Recently, the prince seldom orders his subordinates to do things."
Xue Fuguang lowered his brows and eyes again: "Yes. If it is useful to you, I will order it naturally."
A bamboo leaf fell from Xue Fuguang's knee at some point.
The rustling of the wind has become a familiar sound in the bamboo pavilion.
The tips of the bamboo leaves are yellow, and there is a layer of withered yellow rings around the edges of the slender leaves.
He raised his hand and brushed it away, looked at Shao Jing not far away, who was pouting his buttocks, cleaning up fallen leaves under the bamboo forest, and murmured in a low voice: "There is a war at the border this year, so the autumn hunting should not be able to be done."
I also want to meet that wild tiger, process its skin and give it to Shaojing.
After reading the things in his hand, he didn't hand them over to Mu Jianshu to burn them, but called Shao Jing to put them in a box for storage.
After less than half a month, Prince Gong and Xue Hongwen finished their army formation and set off for the north.
In order to prevent changes in the northwest, Qin Wuyun was also sent back by the emperor and guarded in the northwest.
Xue Fuguang watched his elder brother and father leave from the city wall, and the temperature in his eyes seemed to have cooled down a lot.
It's like being pulled away.
He closed his hood, which had been bulged by the strong wind, and carried his robes down the tower.
Mu Jianshu's hand was always quietly on the side to prevent Xue Fuguang from accidentally falling.
After Xue Fuguang stepped on the ground, he suddenly grabbed Mu Jianshu's hand and asked, "I've never asked before, why are you called Qu Wu?"
The two boarded the carriage as if no one else was around.
Xue Fuguang's expression remained the same, and there was no Mu Jianshu? What's the matter? He replied in a low voice, "There is someone with this surname in the family."
Xue Fuguang leaned against the carriage, took off his hood, and naturally turned his head to let Mu Jianshu tidy up his messy hairband, and said, "If I didn't? I remember correctly, the royal family of the Ying Dynasty was named Qu."
"People from Ying Dynasty, shouldn't there be taboos?"
Mu Jianshu's fingers holding the hairband were sluggish for a moment, and then he calmed down as usual. With tangled black hair, he answered Xue Fuguang's words in a low voice: "There are few taboos in the Ying Dynasty, and there are quite a few people who use this surname."
Did Xue Fuguang? Let’s continue asking.
Mu Jianshu breathed a sigh of relief.
But what was strange in his heart, he hoped that Xue Fuguang would continue to ask.
If he used a questioning tone again, looking at him and asking "really?", he would definitely not be able to bear it, and would tell all about what should be said and what should not be said.
Perhaps, when facing Xue Fuguang, he was not so loyal to Ying Chao.
However, his eldest son no longer asked him.
After Xue Fuguang returned to the palace, he went to see Xue Wanxi.
Xue Wanxi didn't go to the city wall to see her brother and father off? She felt a little unwell.
Xue Fuguang left Mu Jianshu and Shao Jing outside the house, and when he entered the house, he saw Xue Wanxi curled up on the bed.
He couldn't help tightening the corners of his lips and biting his teeth.
The appearance of Xue Wanxi's eyes is exactly the same as the appearance of the Li family who died of a miscarriage and bleeding.
With a pale face, he curled up covering his lower abdomen, cold sweat dripped from his forehead and temples, and his breath became much weaker.
Xue Fuguang squatted down beside the couch, held Xue Wanxi's colder hand than his, and called softly, "Sister."
Xue Wanxi smiled slowly, and said warmly: "Well, brother and father are gone?"
Xue Fuguang nodded.
Pain? He clenched his cold palm even tighter, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, does it hurt?"
Seeing his appearance, Xue Wanxi felt that his heart was so weak that he touched his head in front of him: "No? Not so? It hurts. Alright, Ah Ru don't have to worry about my sister, just get some sleep. That's it."
Xue Fuguang responded in a low voice.
I thought in my heart, but at that time, my sister said she was in pain.
Xue Fuguang held his elder sister's hand, as if he was absorbing some strength.
It must be done.
Xiu Jin and the prince must die.
Never fail.
The atmosphere in the Queen's Palace was gloomy.
Probably in the entire palace, the only one that could have a worse atmosphere than the emperor was the empress's palace.
Even the big mandarin duck-eyed cat raised in the palace was taken away by the servants, and they dared not let it come out for several days, for fear of offending the queen.
The incident of the crown prince being banned in the East Palace happened so suddenly that the queen was caught off guard.
She didn't expect at all? The prince would stumble twice on the same thing.
The confidant eunuch whispered in front of her: "The news came to the palace this morning, saying that the Sixth Prince sent someone to submit a copy, and he is going to join Mr. Liu for a copy."
The queen slapped the table angrily, and the little maid who was combing her hair behind her pulled her hair, making her gasp in pain.
The eunuch immediately stepped forward and kicked the little maid to the ground: "I don't have anything heavy in my hand! How dare you hurt your empress and still not get out!"
Chasing away that little maid, the queen slowly calmed down the anger in her chest, and suppressed: "Okay, very good. This is to take advantage of the crown prince being grounded, and prepare to usurp the position of the crown prince."
The eunuch hesitated: "Your Majesty, what should I do? How about contacting the other adults to act first?"
The queen sneered: "This news has reached you and me. I'm afraid that the sixth prince has already prepared a perfect plan, and he will make admonitions in the court later. What do you use? Go and strike first? Rely on this Open mouth, empty mouth and white teeth?"
The eunuch was sweating coldly on his forehead: "Yes, it's because the slave didn't think well."
The queen had a headache, and couldn't help cursing Xiu Jin fiercely in her heart.
In the end, it still went around to the prince.
I really don't know what is in his mind all day long? Stuff.
She pondered for a moment, then asked: "Recently, how has Du Ruan performed in the court?"
The eunuch immediately said: "Master Du is currently promoted from a first-rank official, and he is in the limelight. Your Majesty is right? He trusts him very much. And this Lord Du is also a master who does not touch two ends. Although he does not help the sixth prince, he also... ignores it." our people."
The queen said: "Then? It's the top [-] boards."
She lowered her eyes, thought for a moment and said: "You ask someone to find a way to deliver a letter to Du Ru'an early in the morning, and ask him to hit the sixth prince with today's board. Let him think clearly, now that the sixth prince is powerful, if he still If you don't want the situation to tilt, then it's best to suppress the Sixth Prince's arrogance."
The eunuch immediately responded, bowed his back and stepped back quickly.
The morning journey is not short.
After entering the gate of the palace, you have to dismount and walk.
Du Ru'an met a young eunuch on the road, who was carrying a tray of things, bowed his head and walked hurriedly.
Just staring at the road under his feet, not even looking at people, like a novice who has just entered the palace.
Du Ru'an originally wanted to avoid it, but thought of something?, and continued to move forward along the original direction.
Sure enough, he was hit by the little eunuch.
The other party apologized again and again, picked up the things on the ground and put them back in the tray.
Du Ru'an also knelt down and picked up two for him.
Then he was held down.
Tears of panic came out from Fang's face, and he begged, "I'm reckless, I beg you to bypass me this time. Next time, I will definitely have eyes!"
Something stuffed in the hand.
Caught between the fingers.
It's thin paper.
Du Ruan's heart skipped a beat, first he thought of Xue Fuguang.
But soon, he dismissed the idea.
Xue Fuguang is an extremely cautious person, he has used the method of spreading news once, but he has never seen him use it for the second time.
At this juncture, then? It's either the sixth prince or the empress's.
Du Ruan restrained his expression, stood up and brushed away the dust from the hem of his official robe.
Then? The little eunuch also knelt in front of him, hurriedly patting the dust for him, his face was covered with tears, and he looked young.
The momentum created here immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Du Ru'an stepped back and pulled away: "Forget it, I don't care about you."
Compared with Xue Fuguang's method, it is still weaker.
Let's just keep it cool, but I just found such a person who wants to cover up.
He bowed his head, his palms were tucked into his wide sleeves, and he disappeared.
The note was crushed under his fingertips and dropped bit by bit along the way.
Today's morning court is nothing more than a quarrel.
The six princes stood at the forefront, reporting one by one the follow-up of the resettlement of the people suffering from the recent epidemic.
Then it will be reported by other people.
After these things were over, a spokesperson suddenly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Liu Yunci, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, for disregarding human life, colluding with officials and businessmen, selling private salt, and allowing the children of the clan to rob people's daughters!"
"My minister also wants to impeach Liu Shangshu. There are a total of 43 crimes, all of which are listed in this notebook!"
"Your Majesty, my humble minister also..."
Suddenly, dozens of people were listed in the hall.
Whether the official position is high or low, they all have righteous words.
Liu Yunci, who was impeached, had a dark complexion, and knew very well what was going on this time.
But he restrained his emotions very quickly, and quickly stepped out, weeping sadly as if he had been wronged: "Your Majesty has learned! My minister is wronged! Why do you want to frame my minister like this!"
The emperor frowned, and waved his hand to ask the chief eunuch to bring up those papers and look over them one by one.
Another? Someone said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have prepared the evidence of Liu Shangshu's crime of selling private salt. Please eunuch present it for your Majesty to have a look at!"
"And that? The family members of the women who were robbed are also waiting outside the palace, waiting for the face? Holy! His Majesty Wan Wang has learned from you, and let those? Poor people be fair!"
There was a lot of noise in the hall.
Naturally, it is impossible for the princelings to watch Liu Yunci fall into a dangerous situation, one after another began to speak forcefully to prove his innocence, and said that those who impeached him all had frictions with him, and they harbored grudges for revenge. .
The sixth prince stood in front, silent.
There was an imperceptible smile in the depths of his eyes.
Liu Yunci, as the minister of the Ministry of punishment, can be said to be the main force of the princeling party.
If he is pulled down, the princelings will be seriously injured.
Even if the prince is released by the emperor in the future, it will no longer be enough to threaten the status of the sixth prince in the court.
The emperor had a headache from the noise.
At a glance, he saw his loyal young minister, and raised his hand to signal His Highness to silence all the people in the room: "Du Aiqing, do you have any opinion on this matter?"
Du Ru'an cupped his hands: "In my humble opinion, this matter should be investigated and dealt with according to the law. The matter is related to Lord Shangshu. There is a matter of private salt and human life. Don't make a decision lightly. If you don't let the imperial army start a search and verify the credible evidence, your majesty will It’s not too late to judge.”
The emperor pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Du Aiqing's words are reasonable. In this case, the Imperial Army will lead people to search. As for Liu Yunci...for the time being, he will be suppressed in the mansion. His wife, children and servants at home are not allowed to leave the mansion at will until the Imperial Army finds out the results. "
Liu Yunci immediately said loudly: "My minister, thank you Your Majesty!"
The joy in the sixth prince's eyes disappeared suddenly.
This Du Ru'an is really an eyesore?
If it is fair and honest, asking him to suppress it every time will ruin his good deeds.It would be too much of a coincidence.
After the court, the sixth prince came out of the hall and immediately ordered people: "Go and send more people to find out who Du Ru'an has been in contact with recently."
Now is the critical moment.
Half of the princelings have fallen, and he only needs to knock down Liu Yunci, the last big tree. The only thing he needs to worry about in the future is the emperor.
Don't allow Du Ru'an to play tricks secretly.
Not long after he was worried, Du Ruan found out who he had contacted recently.
"Master Du was bumped into by a young eunuch when he went to court in the morning. The servants went to check the trace of the little eunuch again, but no one could even find out the name. They sent it to the palace specially. Right now, the corpses are completely destroyed."
In the palace, who else can move such hands and feet besides the queen?
The sixth prince sneered: "Okay, very good! I thought what was this Du Ru'an? A loyal and respectful person who won the favor of his father? It turned out that he had already become the prince's running dog in secret! It's really good acting, not only fooled me, but even I'm afraid father is also in the dark!"
He was so angry that he slapped the table angrily: "Go and investigate Du Ru'an! Even the entire capital and auxiliary mansion has been investigated! This hall doesn't believe it. What is there in this world? A person with two sleeves."
He thought about it: "Du Chengfeng? The old man has never kept his face on his face, and now he has disappeared even more than Du Ruan, and rarely speaks out in the court. Now even the emperor can't remember that he has such a chief assistant."
"It's just that I don't know, compared with his son, Mr. Shoufu is really just or fake."
This search soon alarmed the chief assistant.
When the guards left with the half-dead thief in hand, Du Chengfeng paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.
I didn't know for a while whether I should regret adopting Du Ruan.
He didn't sleep all night, and after facing down early the next day, he didn't leave the palace as usual, but went to Qinzheng Hall.
Before entering the door, he knelt down first: "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to protect the lives of my family!"
The emperor held his arm in amazement. He was puzzled by the behavior of this old official: "Chengfeng! You are my chief assistant, who can harm you!?"
Du Chengfeng refused to get up, and mournfully said: "I don't know how to offend His Highness the Sixth Highness, but secretly sent people into my study to steal disrespectful objects! I think that I have been cautious for half my life, and never dared to do anything disrespectful." My respect is all for the sake of Yasukuni! My humble minister is old, so I can't stand this kind of twists and turns!"
The more the emperor heard it, the more furious he became, and his beard trembled along with his lips: "Come here! Prince Xuan Liu!"
Du Chengfeng shouted to stop the emperor: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is now confined in the East Palace, and His Highness Six is gaining more and more prestige in the court. If Your Majesty calls His Highness Six to confront him, it will only chill His Heart and make him more targeted. Veterans and others who are loyal to His Majesty! Wanwang Your Majesty think twice! I only ask Your Majesty to save the lives of more than a hundred people in the family!"
The emperor's beard trembled even more.
What? Since then, as the emperor, he has to weigh the consequences when teaching his son?
He even moved his mind to let the prince out of the East Palace.
In order to suppress the arrogance of the sixth prince.
But in a blink of an eye, he thought of that little eunuch who hadn't been found yet, and took back his princeling thoughts.
Didn't he only have one son, the prince, and the sixth prince is now outstanding, so he might take this opportunity to examine his talent.
Compared to a dazed prince who loves men but loves beauties but not country, it is obvious that a ruthless prince is more in his favor.
Even if the sixth prince didn't meet his wishes that much, it would be good to use it as an opponent of the princeling party and let the prince know that the throne is not a certainty.
The emperor supported Du Chengfeng to stand up: "Aiqing is justified. I will beat him up, Aiqing doesn't need to worry. I am still here, and I must know Aiqing's loyalty, and I will not be deceived by some small tricks."
Du Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise! With His Majesty's support, I feel at ease. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for this collision."
The emperor waved his hand.
Du Chengfeng lowered his eyes.
He didn't expect the emperor to do anything to his own son for him.
What he wanted was for the sixth prince to see him.
If you want to move the Du family, it is tantamount to moving the imperial party.
Against the emperor? It is tantamount to treason.
……
Xue Fuguang laughed out loud.
This Lord Chief Assistant is a good plan.
A mature character is much more powerful than Du Ruan.
It's a pity that there is an unfilial son who is holding back.
He is indeed a sincere imperialist, but Du Ruan is not.
Now that the court is full of turmoil, how do you feel about the crown prince who can't get out of the East Palace? Think.
Xue Fuguang lowered his eyes, and handed out the paper in his hand: "Burn it."
"Good!" Shao Jing responded.
Did Xue Fuguang turn his head? He found Mu Jianshu's figure.
At this moment, there was a knock on the window.
Shao Jing pushed open the window, and by the moonlight and the candlelight in the house, he saw clearly that it was a pigeon with its head tilted, and it called "coo coo" twice.
He smiled and took the pigeon into the house: "Ah, son, it's the first time I've seen the pigeon pass the letter."
Xue Fuguang took the bamboo tube he handed over, and pulled out a note from it.
After reading it, I lowered my eyes.
Should he be happy?
Fortunately, he went to Dingzhou back then, and when he left, he had a backup, making Dingzhou an iron bucket in his hands.
If Ying Chao wanted to send a letter from Dingzhou, he had to pass through him.
Now he really wants to know what Mu Jianshu's plan is.
In Xiaqi Tower, Mu Jianshu was rushed back by a special method of sending messages.
He held a secret order in his hand.
The secret order was written by Emperor Ying himself.
According to the letter, the emperor has already learned about the current situation in Yasukuni, let him grasp the internal strife, and it is best to notice it in real time?
Take this opportunity to assassinate the prince.
Let's deal with Xue Fuguang together, so as not to leave him with endless disasters in the future.
Mu Jianshu's eyes were gloomy.
He had already strictly ordered that no one should send any news about Xue Fuguang back to Yingchao.
But Ying Chaonei still knew of Xue Fuguang's existence, and even knew his recent actions like the back of his hand.
Some of his men betrayed him.
Mu Jianshu folded the secret order in his hand, lit it on the candle, threw it into the copper basin, and said in a cold voice: "Prepare to do something to the prince. Give me the list of all the people who have been in the imperial city recently."
"Yes, my lord, wait a moment."
When Mu Jianshu came back to listen to Zhuxuan, Xue Fuguang hadn't gone to bed yet.
He drooped his brows and eyes? In the candlelight, the gorgeous color didn't fade, but it seemed to be softer.
Xue Fuguang saw the shadow swaying in the corner of his eyes, and he didn't raise his eyes, nor asked his whereabouts, but said: "If the prince is not dealt with, the sixth prince will not be able to resist jumping over the wall. You go to Du Ruan's secret room tomorrow, and will you repair the brocade?" Catch it back."
Mu Jianshu: "Yes."
He walked behind Xue Fuguang, and through his shoulder and neck, he saw the things he listed on the paper.
It was a plan to assassinate the prince.
Absolutely complete and thoughtful.
I even made second-hand preparations. If one plan fails, there is another plan in reserve.
He was following Xue Fuguang, watching him step by step? Countless people plotted against him, and turned the court of Yasukuni into a filthy muddy water with no visible background.
And without leaving any stone unturned, everyone's reaction was exactly as he expected.
It is not incomprehensible that the emperor of the Ying Dynasty was wary of such a person, and even ordered to get rid of him as soon as he wanted to deal with the crown prince of a country.
But before, Xue Fuguang had always been a dandy, and if his expectations were correct, he was planning to be a dandy for the rest of his life, hanging out with those stupid cronies, eating, drinking and having fun every day.
Instead of being scheming now, and even eyeing the throne.
He still doesn't know why Xue Fuguang is so devoted to the death of the crown prince and Xiu Jin.
An unsuccessful calculation was not enough for Xue Fuguang to make such a big change to himself.
He wanted to ask if there was anything else he didn't know.
But Xue Fuguang will definitely not tell him.
The boy bowed his head and finished writing, pressed the remaining corner with paper, and put down the pen to wait for the ink to dry.
He coughed twice, and a glass of water was brought by his side, and he took it and drank it, with a slightly sandy voice: "The day after tomorrow is my birthday. There are no banquets in the mansion, but you can distribute some gold and silver leaves to the servants. Feel happy. You go and ask Shao Jing to prepare. The big kitchen in the mansion is also called to arrange... huh!"
Mu Jianshu, this dog thing, commits the following crimes!
Xue Fuguang opened his eyes, feeling that Mu Jianshu was getting more and more presumptuous in front of him.
He couldn't breathe, just took a breath, and said out of breath: "Get out?!"
Not knowing what he is saying now, even a saint would break the precept.
Not to mention, Mu Jianshu had relapsed a long time ago and had tasted the smell of meat.
Just don't know.
To be patient after knowing it is a thousand times more difficult than before.
He was pulled off his socks, and his wide palms easily wrapped around his ankles, and he held them up high.
Mu Jianshu also called him in a low voice: "Master."
Xue Fuguang replied to him: "Get lost!"
Mu Jianshu seemed to be offended.
Did he have a temper in front of Xue Fuguang, but the strength in his movements? He spoke of his anger silently.
Xue Fuguang was so tossed out of crying, he reached out to grab the bed curtain to draw some strength.
But the dog Mu Jianshu didn't even allow this, he thrust his fingers between his fingers forcefully, held him tightly, hugged him and sat up.
Asked him hoarsely: "What does the master want? A birthday gift?"
Xue Fuguang couldn't say no and get out.
Every time he mentioned this word, Mu Jianshu would torment him even more.
He collapsed into Mu Jianshu's arms, with tears streaming down his eyes, sobbing and saying harshly: "I want the prince and Xiu Jin to die!"
Mu Jianshu agreed.
He kissed the back of Xue Fuguang's neck, and said softly: "Okay."
It seemed that no matter what Xue Fuguang said, he would agree.
……
When Xue Fuguang woke up the next day, his eyes were swollen.
He endured the soreness and discomfort in his eyes, closed his eyes for a moment, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, his legs went limp.
He cursed in a low voice: "You bastard!"
Mu Jianshu was not there, so he couldn't hear the scolding.
Xue Fuguang knew that most likely he was going to kidnap Xiu Jin and come back.
He called Shao Jing, after changing his clothes, he got into the carriage and went to visit the sixth prince.
The sixth prince has now built a mansion outside the palace, but he has not been crowned king yet.
The sixth prince was anxious about the emperor's suppression, when he suddenly heard Xue Fuguang coming, he was very surprised: "Come in, please!"
The irritability on his face was gone.
Since Xue Fuguang came to the door on his own initiative, he must be doing business with him.
With him taking action, there is probably a solution to the urgent need at the moment.
He warmly greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. Chonghe is really pleasantly surprised to come to visit today!"
Xue Fuguang looked at the scene in his mansion, and asked with a smile: "Is this the mansion of King Yu of the former dynasty?"
The sixth prince nodded, and asked the servant to make tea: "Exactly. Now that the epidemic is over, and the frontier wars are starting again, it's time to continue to pay money. It would be a waste to build a new mansion. If we don't repair this old mansion, it can be regarded as a relief for the country. "
What he said is so grand, those who don't know can believe it.
Xue Fuguang just smiled and asked: "A few days ago, I asked His Highness to investigate something about the Ying Dynasty. I wonder if there is any clue?"
It's the little things.
Yasukuni's secret agents collect countless pieces of information in the Ying Dynasty every year. Now that he has real power, it is not difficult to get it.
Immediately clapped his hands and ordered someone to bring it up: "If the son doesn't come to the door, Chonghe also planned to send it to the door tomorrow."
However, he was very curious: "I don't know my son, what's the use of suddenly searching for news about the Ying Dynasty? The royal family is secretive, it's not so easy to get it? My spies from the Jing Kingdom have lost a lot in the Ying Dynasty Palace. "
Xue Fuguang asked Shao Jing to accept it? It was packed in a wooden box, and it was recorded in a thick stack of secret letters.
The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the thick and long eyelashes pressed out a layer of gray shadow: "Think about how to start with the royal family of the Ying Dynasty and help the Yasukuni rule."
The sixth prince was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "My son is so ambitious!"
Xue Fuguang continued: "Your Highness, have you ever visited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace?"
Seeing him mentioning the crown prince suddenly, the sixth prince said seriously, "Father grounded the emperor, brother, how should I go? Let the emperor reflect on his mistakes, so that he can lift the restraint as soon as possible. The prince is worried about the emperor, if not, he is also worried about Chonghe .”
Xue Fuguang lowered his brows and eyes, but the corners of his mouth did not draw a curve. He smiled half a smile: "Fuguang is also very worried about His Highness's current situation, so he is going to give His Highness a big gift tonight."
The eyes of the sixth prince brightened slightly: "Oh? Are you serious? So, Chonghe is waiting for the prince's gift!"
Xue Fuguang was too lazy to sit down.
Thinking that soon, he would be able to kill the prince, so he was not in the mood to continue playing tricks with the sixth prince.
"After receiving the gift, Your Highness, remember to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow. Even though it's a confinement, His Majesty must hope that all His Highnesses can live in harmony with each other."
"Fuguang will go first? Farewell."
The sixth prince watched his leaving back.
Squinting? Ask: "Guess, what is the big gift he is talking about?"
The eunuch next to him sneered: "This, His Highness is really not a slave. The slave can't guess."
The sixth prince said: "This hall can't guess." He laughed happily, "But even he said it was a great gift, so it must be a good thing!"
The sixth prince guessed all afternoon, and was still surprised when he saw the big living person from the box at night.
The eunuch started to test: "Your Highness, it is alive."
The sixth prince stared at the somewhat familiar face in the box, and ordered someone to close it: "It is indeed a great gift."
He clapped his palms and turned around: "Interesting, really interesting. The person who no one can find? Xue Fuguang actually found him. Or is he hiding this person and waiting for today?"
He muttered for a while, then laughed again: "It's so interesting."
He looked at the box like a baby, and ordered the servants to move it lightly: "I think the emperor will see it tomorrow? This big gift will also be very pleasantly surprised, right?"
"This hall really can't wait."
……
Xue Fuguang didn't feel ecstatic.
He was a little nervous.
If it fails, the next time you kill the prince, you don't know when it will be.
What's more, his father and brother have already gone to the border, waiting for him to succeed in one fell swoop.
If he is unsuccessful, then Prince Gong and Xue Hongwen will bring back the army from Mobei and forcibly expel the subordinates of the Ming family.
But this is not what Xue Fuguang wants.
If you want to kill the king and seize the throne, you don't want to bear this vicious infamy.
I have been scolded enough in my previous life.
He ordered Mu Jianshu to personally send Feng Wenhua into the palace.
The palace has arranged support staff, who can avoid human eyes and quietly let them enter the East Palace ahead of time.
Waiting for the sixth prince to arrive, bring Xiu Jin in.
He wanted Mu Jianshu to see the prince die in person.
Then cut off his head.
Otherwise, Xue Fuguang cannot guarantee that under the twisted plot, whether such bizarre events as "fake death" will happen.
After Mu Jianshu brought the unconscious Feng Wenhua into the palace, Xue Fuguang went to meet another person.
Zhou Minshan who joined the Forbidden Army.
Xue Fuguang looked at the noisy street full of people.
In August, autumn has begun.
The sun is no longer hot, but it is still warm, bright white and dazzling.
Xue Fuguang felt a little cold.
He was leaning against the window, and half of the sunlight fell on him, making the division between light and dark extremely strong.
"Keep an eye on those who sneak into the palace, don't miss any of them."
Zhou Minshan smiled: "Master, don't worry. Half of the imperial guards are now ours."
"Well. If so, when you watched the sixth prince leave the East Palace, there was still no one to respond? If those people do something, you should do it first? Do it first. Remember to make a fuss, and let the imperial guards who are not under your command rush to the front."
He paused: "What's more, kill everyone in the East Palace except the sixth prince."
Zhou Minshan was stunned: "Master, but..."
Xue Fuguang turned his back to him, so that he could not see the expression on his face.
I just heard his cold words: "Of course he is no exception."
Cold sweat slowly oozes from Zhou Minshan's back.
He bowed his head in response, and walked out of the room lightly.
Xue Fuguang bathed in the sunlight, but he couldn't feel the warmth.
Hot and cold.
He lowered his eyes, waiting for the news from the sunset.
He had already speculated about Mu Jianshu's identity in his mind.
There were not many people with the Qu and Mu surnames in the Ying Dynasty.
It is difficult to find out, right? Xue Fuguang is not too difficult.
Some of the people he stayed in Dingzhou had slowly infiltrated into Yingchao, searching for information based on their characteristics.
Then in the hands of the sixth prince, the news that Yasukuni has been involved in for many years can be checked in pairs, and Mu Jianshu's identity can be fixed between three or five people.
These three people are not people of extraordinary status in Wuyi of the Ying Dynasty.
But one died prematurely.
One person is currently in the Ying Dynasty.
There is another person, logically speaking, should also be in the Ying Dynasty, but no one has seen him for many years.
The one who died young was the eldest son of the current queen of the Ying Dynasty.
Is the age right? But as the eldest prince, even if he is alive, it is absolutely impossible for him to do meticulous work.
And the only remaining person whose whereabouts are unknown is also the prince of the Ying Dynasty.
It's just that it's said that she grew up in the cold palace, fending for herself, maybe she died in the palace a long time ago, becoming a bone of bones.
She has the same father as the eldest prince, but her identity is very different.
The reason is that the prince who was abandoned in the cold palace had a biological mother who was a concubine from the queen's family.
Her heart was higher than the sky, and she vainly tried to replace the queen, and went to the dragon bed of the drunken emperor. After giving birth to a prince, she was hanged.As a result, the child was rejected and thrown into the cold palace.
Of these three people, obviously only one was able to be trained as a child and then sent to the enemy country to die.
Mu Jianshu's real name should be Qu Jianshu.
Xue Fuguang knocked on the window sill.
Think slowly, and also take this to ease your anxiety.
If this is the status, Mu Jianshu has not yet had the opportunity to kill the prince in this period of the original text.
What about his power in the Ying Dynasty?
He has already ascended to the position of secret agent, and the entire Ying Dynasty's detailed operation system is in his hands, so his status should not be low.
If you do it right, you might even have a chance to win that? The throne.
But compared to these questions, Xue Fuguang actually wants to know one thing more now.
He wanted to know the result of Donggong.
Not just wondering if the crown prince can die.
I also want to know if Mu Jianshu can live.
He can't take the risk.
Therefore, the secret order of Yingchao's spies was intercepted shortly after entering the territory of Dingzhou, and sent to? He wanted to know what Mu Jianshu's plan was.
He wants to know, Mu Jianshu?
