First Prince of Qing Dynasty

This is an unremarkable compound in the harem, deserted and desolate. If it hadn't been known early in the morning that it was Song Xu's residence, it would be hard for people to believe that a young master lived here.The house is dilapidated, worse than the houses where ordinary court ladies and eunuchs live.

At this time, not only Kangxi, but also Tong Jiashi and Wu Yashi came.The two of them are in charge of Fengyin, and they are the heads of the harem, so they must be present.One was the biological mother of the victim, and she also asked to be present.

Kangxi is in the middle, Tong Jiashi and Wu Yashi are on the left and right.Song promised to be at the bottom, although he was kneeling, he straightened his waist, there was no sorrow or joy on his face, let alone fear.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be so big. I'll tell you everything you want to know about me. Ever since I did this, I never thought I could escape."

At this point, they don't even call themselves slaves or concubines, and call me directly, which shows that life and death have been put aside.Not only did he look calm, but there was also a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"I don't know if the Emperor and Concubine De still remember me?"

Kangxi naturally didn't remember it, Concubine De's expression flickered, but she still had some impressions.

"I entered the palace in 14, and in 16 I was assigned to serve by the concubine Defei. In 17 years, the concubine Defei was pregnant with the fourth elder brother. After drinking one day, the emperor favored me."

Song promised to take a look at Concubine De, and said mockingly: "At that time, the emperor drank too much, some people thought I was some kind of master. I didn't mean to, but Empress De Fei herself climbed up from the position of maid, and was acting as the master. I used to be the imperial concubine's maid, so I know this best, and I only think that I am like her, playing tricks on my master's back."

Concubine De's face darkened.Is it interesting to say this now?Kangxi had already forgotten all about the scene at that time, whether she had the intention to climb the bed, and what happened, she was not the only one who had the final say.

Song promised and said again: "The emperor hastily granted me a promise on the second day, and did not say how to arrange it. Naturally, the concubine de concubine wanted to share my worries, packed up my burden and moved me to the back hall room, accusing me I'm already the young master, so I can no longer keep her by my side to serve me, and even very generously assigned a maid from my side to take care of me.

"I just lived in the back hall of Empress Defei. It is said that I am a young master, but it is not as good as when I was a maid. The so-called maid who took care of me followed closely. It is not so much serving as it is. It's surveillance. Since that day, I found it very difficult for me to go out, and even if I did, I couldn't see the emperor.

"There are too many women in the emperor's harem. I probably don't know it. A low-ranking young master like us has no family background and no one to help. If you don't think about it yourself, it's hard for you to think about it. It's also my fault that I can't be called Your Majesty, remember. A nobleman like Zhong Cui, a palace guard, can be called stunning, and His Majesty will never forget it."

If you want to say that her appearance is average, it is not the case.Song Xu's appearance can be called a beauty, otherwise even if Kangxi was drunk, he would not be able to visit her.It's just that there are many beauties in the emperor's harem, and Song promised to put them in, which lacks a bit of character and recognition.Beauty is beauty, but it cannot be forgotten.It is incomparable with Wei Guiren's peerless elegance.

Song promised that this was extremely sarcastic.When a person is not afraid of anything, he has no scruples.Kangxi looked even uglier.

Song promised to continue: "After going on like this for a while, I thought that going on like this is not the way to go. Since I have become the young master, I have to plan for myself in the future. So I bowed my head to Empress Concubine De, and wanted to ask her to forgive me and give me A chance, even if I come back to serve her again.

"Empress Defei did agree, and said that the child in her womb was about to be born, and asked me to make some small clothes for the child in her womb. But I never expected that there would be so many things to do. I just I was detained in the house doing needlework. I stayed up all day and night, but I didn’t survive until I had a miscarriage.”

Kangxi was taken aback.

"The child in my womb is gone." Song promised to sneer, "Ms. De Concubine is a good means! Hahaha! Now I want you to taste the feeling of losing your own flesh and blood, isn't it good?"

Kangxi glared: "Just because of this?"

"Otherwise? I don't have a child, so why can Concubine De have two sons to be filial?" Song promised to stare at Concubine De, his eyes flushed, "Fortunately, God has eyes. Empress De Concubine harmed my child, now She lost her sixth elder brother, who said that this is not karma? Hahaha, God has eyes, it is worthwhile for me to pray day and night to ask God to avenge me!"

Concubine De trembled all over, clutching her chest, only feeling her heart hurt badly.

karma……

Karma?

Song promised with a snort: "Now you have tasted this kind of feeling yourself, why? Is it good? Do you think it's over? No! It's not enough. The sixth elder brother is dead, and you still have the fourth elder brother! The fourth elder brother will be raised Under the imperial concubine's lap, but crawled out of your stomach, is connected with your blood, and has always respected you, how can I just watch you feel better?"

Kangxi gritted his teeth: "So you instigated your slaves to spread rumors and pour dirty water on Yinzhen?"

"What is more painful than losing a parent and child? It is the son who is not close to me, the son who is estranged from himself, the son..." Song Xu paused, and smiled, "Antagonizing myself. I am Let her be at odds with her parents and children in this life, let her have a thorn in her heart for the rest of her life, let her and the fourth elder brother hate each other, and never be able to be close mother and son with the fourth elder brother!"

Song promised to look at De Concubine again: "Ms. De Concubine, you have been saying that you have been out of spirits for a while and haven't seen Fourth Brother? Do you think Fourth Brother knows the reason? Even if Sixth Brother's accident was not caused by the scooter, so what?

"Empress Defei, the thorns growing in my heart are not so easy to remove. Do you think you can go back to the past? What's more, the sixth elder brother is gone, so he is gone! Defei Empress, he is How did you die, why did you die, I want you to keep it in your heart forever, forever!"

Her gaze swept over Concubine De, then meaningfully at Tong Jiashi, and finally stopped on Kangxi, with a smile on her lips: "If you want to kill, or cut, come on! Oh, no, I forgot."

Forgot something, Song promised not to say.Just when everyone was confused and wanted to ask, Song Xu's complexion suddenly changed, and he collapsed on the ground clutching his stomach, in unbearable pain.The incident happened suddenly, and everyone jumped.Kangxi stood up, "Liang Jiugong! Pull her mouth open and pull it out!"

Take poison?It's not over yet!How can it be so easy to get rid of it!

Liang Jiugong stepped forward to hold down Song Xu, and opened her mouth with both hands, but he didn't find anything, and was bitten by Song Xu.

Song promised to endure the pain and said: "It's useless! Did I just forget... forgot to tell you that before you came... I... I have taken poison. The poison has entered the stomach and fused into the flesh and blood. You... ...Do you think you can still pick it out! You...whether...you...want to kill, or...want to cut, you...can't...can't..."

After all, the word "arrived" could not be uttered, and Song promised to die, but his eyes were still wide open, and he could not rest in peace!

……

Qianqing Palace.

Although Song promised to die, the matter is not over yet.There is still follow-up to be done with the Sixth Brother's matter, and what Song promised to say that day, no matter how big or small, needs to be investigated.Liang Jiugong hurried back from the outside, a young eunuch twisted a handkerchief and handed it over: "Eunuch Liang, the sun is hot today, please wipe off your sweat."

Liang Jiugong waved his hands and shook his head, before entering the hall without saying a word.The emperor is still waiting, how dare he delay because of such trivial matters!

After entering the palace, Liang Jiugong went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty! Those who spread nonsense in the palace were arrested. They all entered the palace for a short time, and they didn't hold any important positions in the palaces. Most of them were doing rough work and sweeping in the side. The servants checked them one by one and found that they were not in the palace. I didn't know about the promise, so it must be someone taking advantage of the short period of time in the palace. They should talk about each other in private, and they can't spread it outside."

Speaking of this, Liang Jiugong paused, "They are indeed just gossip in private, because they know how to avoid people, the eunuch or aunt in charge really didn't find out for a while. But the rumors spread widely, and there are always people who don't keep their mouths tight and act It’s missing. The three servants that the third elder brother met that day were like this. As for Song Xu’s confession before his death, the servant also checked it.”

Liang Jiugong stepped forward, presented the results of the investigation, and continued: "Song promised to enter the palace in 14 years. At that time, he was doing rough work in the palace. Later, because of his good needlework, he was recommended by his aunt to the sewing room. In 15 years, the imperial concubine When she first entered the harem, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve Qi Chengqian Palace. She spent some money to find a way to enter Chengqian Palace.

"But the imperial concubine has Chunying and Chunzhi around her. They are all brought in from her own home, and she doesn't use other servants too much. Besides, Song promised not much money, and he didn't have a strong backing. He couldn't compete with others, and was only assigned to the third class. In the absence of court ladies, I still do needlework.

"In 16, the concubine De concubine was favored. At that time, the imperial concubine was in charge of this matter, and she specially dispatched a few people from her own name to serve. Song promised to be among them. According to records, the emperor did have the honor of visiting Song in August of 17. Promise, counting the days, Empress Concubine De is pregnant at that time."

"August 17?"

Kangxi frowned and thought for a long time before digging out a few fragments from his vague memory.At that time, during the San Francisco Rebellion, he was devastated in the previous dynasty. In August, news of Wu Sangui's death came.Although the San Francisco rebels would not disarm and surrender because of Wu Sangui's death, it was still a mess.They can take this opportunity to chase after the situation and become more courageous as they fight.

He was so happy that he drank too much when he came to see Concubine De.That day, he did spoil a court lady by mistake.Because there were a lot of affairs in the previous court, he went to deploy a new round of war in San Francisco on the second day. He didn't come to the harem for several days, so he forgot about Song Xu.Looking back, no one mentioned it, and Song promised not to come to him again, so he didn't think about it.

Liang Jiugong glanced at Kangxi, and then said: "After learning about it, the concubine de concubine did arrange a house for her, and she will no longer serve her. She has already been favored, and according to the rules, it is impossible to serve concubine de concubine again. This is what the concubine de concubine did. It's reasonable.

"Song promised that Empress Defei asked the maid to monitor her. But the maid is still here, and the servant found her. She said it was not for surveillance, but that Empress Defei was seven or eight months pregnant at that time, and it was a critical moment. She was afraid that Song would violate the rules by agreeing to a new young master who didn't understand the rules.

"Later Song agreed to go to Empress Defei and said that she wanted to come back to serve her. Empress Defei felt that as her young master, she could not afford her service no matter what. So she said that the two could be sisters.

"As for the needlework. The people around Empress Defei said that she vaguely remembered that Empress did mention that she wanted to make some clothes for the child, but she didn't ask Song Ying to come. It was Song Ying who offered to help.

"Since Song promised to ask for it herself, the concubine de concubine also agreed. Although she gave needle and thread a surprise, she didn't talk as much as Song promised, only two or three things. It's not like asking her to finish it all at once, just let her arrange it. , Left and right are not in a hurry to use it. At that time, Song promised to take it, but never refused.

"Since then, the Concubine De concubine has put her mind at ease to raise her baby and wait for the delivery, so she didn't ask any more questions. Song promised to work in the house all the time, and never told others that the sunflower water hadn't arrived. Otherwise, if such a big matter is entrusted to someone, it will be passed on to the imperial physician. Guan Huangsi, who dares to neglect?

"I don't know if Song Xu promised to be too young, he didn't even know he had a body, or..." Liang Jiugong paused for a moment, pointing out, "I still deliberately concealed it."

"About one or two months later, the child was gone. At that time, Empress Defei found out that she had only been favored once and was lucky enough to conceive. She went over to check immediately, and happened to see Song Xu lying on the bed with a pale face. , the quilt was covered in blood. The concubine de concubine was frightened and mobilized, and gave birth to the fourth elder brother.

"Afterwards, Your Majesty, when you learned about this, you said that Song promised to have a miscarriage and needed rest. The Concubine De concubine was going to confinement, and she needed rest. When she handed over the fourth elder brother to the imperial concubine, she said to the imperial concubine, let She moved Song Xu out.

"The imperial concubine placed her in the current residence. The house was still intact at that time, but now it has not been repaired in the past few years, and it looks a bit dilapidated."

What happened back then is up to now, Song Xu and Concubine De are both talking about one side, and there is no evidence to find.But it is also a one-sided statement, and everyone has a bias in their hearts.

Liang Jiugong touched the purse in his arms.This was given to him by Yu Chan after he inquired about the Yonghe Palace. Although he said it was an ordinary reward, how could he not understand why it was such a large denomination!

His words seemed to describe the interrogation process, but both his tone and his speaking skills were inclined towards Concubine De.Song promised to commit a crime that provoked Holy Wrath, and he committed suicide; however, Concubine De is still standing in the palace, and because of the death of the sixth elder brother, it is time for the emperor to take pity on Concubine De.Song promised to concubine De, the emperor believed in Concubine De even more.

He pushed the boat along the way, sold favors, and still got some money, why not do it?

Kangxi nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then asked: "Where did the poison she take come from?"

"The servant found a silver hairpin in the dowry promised by Song. It was ordinary in shape and worthless, but after careful inspection, it was found that there was a gap in the head of the hairpin, and there was a mechanism inside. After trying to open it, the servant found residual white powder inside. According to the doctor's identification, it is highly poisonous."

Kangxi's face darkened.A small promise, how did you get such a delicate hairpin, and how did you get it so poisonous?

"Anything else to discover?"

Don't ask whether there is any discovery, just ask what discovery, Kangxi is sure that there must be, and there must be!

"One point!" Liang Jiugong took a deep breath, and his expression became more serious, "Song promised that he had no favors, no children, and no backers these years. And often the distribution can't go to her, so her life has not been easy in the past few years. In order to make a living, she can only do some embroidery work by herself and ask someone to take it out for sale.

"There are some maids in the palace whose families are difficult, so they often make something, and when the guards of Shenwumen are resting, ask them to sell it, and then distribute some money to the guards. This is quite common among the low-level servants and maidservants.

"The servant searched Song Xu's yard and found several embroidered works. Most of them were embroidered flowers and birds, and there was nothing special at first. Because there was a silver hairpin in front of him, the servant was more cautious. Sure enough, he found that these embroidered works were similar to silver hairpins. Like hairpins, all of them are hidden in the interlayer. Although the ones found today are empty and contain nothing, the ones that Song promised to send out of the palace in the past are not necessarily.

"There are only a few people in the palace who often sell embroidery for the court ladies. The servants found them, and they all said that they didn't know Song Xu, and they had never sold anything for Song Xu. The servants also arrested the maids around Song Xu and let them They all shook their heads.

"On the contrary, there is a man who knows how to look at the stitches because the embroidery has been sold a lot. After seeing the embroidery brought out by the servant, he was very surprised and said that he looked like a regular customer who asked him to sell things before. But that person was Fang. Ruo's maid is not what Song promised. The servant checked the files and found that there was indeed a court lady named Fangruo in the palace, but she died in 19 years.

"The slave became suspicious, so he asked someone to draw a portrait of Song Xu for him to identify. The man pointed to the portrait and said, this is Fang Ruo! The slave asked him, the things that 'Fang Ruo' asked him to sell in the past were all How to deal with it. He said that 'Fangruo' told him that there was a Jinxiu workshop outside the palace, which collected the works of embroiderers from all over the place. She had been there before entering the palace, and the price was more reasonable than other places.

"The man followed what 'Fang Ruo' said, and sent all of them to Jinxiufang. Even other people's embroidery was sold in Jinxiufang. The price was indeed higher than that offered by other places."

boom!

Kangxi kicked the witness case to the ground.

Jinxiufang, among the strongholds of the so-called "Third Prince Zhu" seized by Nuo Min and Zhang Jiwu, there is Jinxiufang!

"Good! What a Third Prince Zhu!"

He thought that the other party was only doing tricks in the acne palace, but he didn't expect that his hands were all in the palace!And it was laid out many years ago!When did Song promise to enter the palace! 14 years!when was thatTen years ago!ten years!

Fortunately, Song Xu only had to be favored once, and he never got up again. If he made her a concubine or concubine, would he still be alive?Thinking of the poison in her hand again, Kangxi couldn't help but feel terrified!

Liang Jiugong lowered his head, and said again: "It seems that Song promised to spread rumors in the palace. According to her own statement, it was because she had a grudge against Concubine De and wanted to take revenge. man of."

Kangxi agrees with this very much.He didn't really believe in Song Ying at first, but now that he knew that she was related to the third prince Zhu, he even felt that she was flattering and femme fatale.

"Song promises that she can't do these things alone, does she have helpers in the palace?"

"After Song promised to be removed from the concubine De concubine, the House of Internal Affairs sent another maid to serve her. The one who often followed her was called Yunling. Five years ago, the aunt at home was seriously ill, and Song promised to give her money to treat her. At that time, Song Promising herself was not rich. Since then, Yunling has been grateful to Song Xu and has done a lot for her.

"Song promised to have no favours, no children, and a humble status in the palace. Originally, there were a few servants in the past. Those who could find a way out these years have found other ways. In recent years, there is only one Yunling who has followed her. Song Before agreeing to die, she committed suicide."

Suicide, suicide again.

Kangxi tightened his fists inch by inch: "Has Song Xu got close to anyone recently? For example, which empress in the palace?"

Liang Jiugong paused, and buried his head two points lower, "A while ago, the imperial concubine heard some gossip about the slaves' low positions in the palace promising to stay forever, and after she reprimanded her, she turned around and started to rectify the palace affairs.

"The imperial concubine checked the brochure and found a few young masters who had been favored by the emperor but could no longer be favored for a long time. After finding out that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had cheated on them, they rectified them. Since then, these little masters The master's life is a little better. Several young masters have gone to Chengqian Palace to express their gratitude. Song promises to be among them."

"That's it? Anything else?"

Liang Jiugong shook his head: "Other than this, no other contact has been found."

Kangxi nodded lightly, waved Liang Jiugong back, and passed Wei Zhu.

Like Liang Jiugong, Wei Zhu was an eunuch who had served Kangxi for many years, and he was also very trusted by Kangxi, and his status in the palace was no lower than Liang Jiugong.

Wei Zhu presented the information he found and said: "Chengqian Palace has changed several batches of servants since the imperial concubine moved in. The slaves will serve in this palace for 15 to 16 years according to the roster of personnel transfer in the palace. Listed out, one by one interrogated.

"Whether she is still on duty in Chengqian Palace or has not been on duty in Chengqian Palace for a long time, except for a few people who have no memory, most of them still remember Song Promise. Because she went out from Chengqian Palace, and then went to Germany. The imperial concubine was favored by the concubine and was named the young master. At that time, the servants discussed it in private for a while.

"They all said that Song promised not to be reused in Chengqian Palace. Until he was assigned to Empress Defei, she couldn't enter the inner hall to meet the imperial concubine once. Later, Empress Defei gave birth to the fourth elder brother, and the emperor ordered the imperial concubine The empress arranged for Song to agree. The imperial concubine and empress only ordered the people below to do things casually, and never showed up in person."

To make a small promise, a small promise that the emperor doesn't like very much, really doesn't need Tong Jiashi to come forward in person.

"Song promised to see the empress at that time, but the imperial concubine empress did not agree, she just sent a message to let her listen to your majesty and take a good rest."

Kangxi frowned. From this point of view, of course there was no intersection.

"Recently?"

"After the imperial concubine rectified the palace affairs, several young masters came to thank you and gave some things, all of which were worthless and small items. They were short of money and couldn't get out other valuable things. Song promised to give it to me Embroidered purse.

"The servant checked with Eunuch Liang. It is different from the embroidery found in Song Xu's room. It has no interlayer and is just an ordinary purse. The imperial concubine only took a look at the things sent by these young masters. Afterwards, I handed it over to the servants. Except for this time, no other connection between the imperial concubine and Song Xu was found."

Kangxi waved.Wei Zhu withdrew, and Kangxi passed Cao Yin on.

"how?"

Cao Yindao: "The results of my investigation are basically the same as those of Eunuch Liang and Eunuch Wei. But there is a strange thing, two people died in the palace before and after the sixth elder brother's accident. One maid and one eunuch are low-level servants. Do some rough work such as sweeping and carrying.

"The palace lady fell into the water by mistake. As for the eunuch, I heard from my roommate that he had a heart disease. He suddenly fell ill that day. He was ill in time and couldn't survive. The two of them were of low status, and it was over with a straw mat. At that time, The Sixth Elder Brother was in an accident, and there was a lot of noise in the palace, and no one dared to mention such an unlucky thing.

"Weichen dug up the bodies of the two, and found that the maid indeed died of drowning, and the eunuch died of heart disease. There was nothing suspicious about the cause of death. But the time of death was too coincidental. Weichen investigated their interpersonal relationships. relationship, as well as the trajectory of their actions on the day of their death, it was discovered that they all had contact with a eunuch.

"This eunuch is called Sun Laigui. The minister arrested him and interrogated him severely. After several tortures, he recruited. It is true that he pushed the maid into the water, and the eunuch's illness was also induced by his tricks. The minister asked him why he killed this eunuch. Two people, he said he didn't know. He was ordered to act, and he didn't know the reason.

"The official asked him who gave the order and where it came from. He didn't know, and said that the order was hidden in the gap at the foot of a stone lion in the palace, and he got it there. He guessed, it might be These two saw something they shouldn't, or discovered their secret, and were silenced."

Kangxi's face was black as ink: "Stone lion?"

"Yes! According to him, they don't know each other's identities, and they almost all pass the news in this way. There is more than one place where the news is hidden, and the hiding places are all hidden, but they all choose noisy places. For example Imperial gardens, such as lakesides, such as ornamental pavilions, etc., are all places where people come and go."

Kangxi snorted coldly: "It's a good idea to cover up with the bustle and noise. Because there are many people coming and going, even if they go, they will not be suspected. If you change to a secluded place, if it is not where their duties are, how can they appear here? There is a flaw."

Kangxi gritted his teeth, all the nails were buried in the palace, how could he not be angry!Even if they are all unimportant and lowly people, what if these people are promoted one day?

Kangxi shook his hands, barely restraining the anger in his heart, and said: "Now that you know their method of sending messages, let's go about it. How many of them are there in the palace, find them all!"

"Yes!"

The room fell silent, Kangxi flipped through the reports submitted by Nuo Min and Zhang Jiwu, except for the clues from the Tiandihui, he never found any involvement of the concubine's natal family in this matter.

Look at the memorials of Liang Jiugong, Wei Zhu, and Cao.These three are all people he trusts, and Cao Yin is his confidant.He must suspect that someone is falsifying in the investigation.The matter of Yinzuo is very involved and the situation is serious. Even if they have 1 guts, they dare not play tricks on it.

He asked the three to investigate separately, also wanting to be more cautious.

Now that the three of them have not found out the handwriting of the people in the harem, Kangxi was slightly relieved, wondering if he was being overwhelmed.

Thinking of Tiandihui again, thinking of the Third Prince Zhu, Kangxi snorted coldly, called people in, and said, "Prince Chuanyu, Suo'etu, Nuomin, Erdo..."

He called a dozen or so ministers into the palace and ordered: "Decree will be sent to all regions, states and government offices to conduct a comprehensive search of Prince Zhu's family. If there is any resistance, they will be killed!"

He would like to see who this Third Prince Zhu is, and whether he has three heads and six arms!

……

At the same time, outside the palace.

At this time, the third prince Zhu and his family didn't know that they were about to face a life-and-death contest.

Inside a farmhouse.

The "little princes" Zhu and Wei were looking at the scripts in their hands. Chen Guangyi entered from outside the courtyard with a very ugly expression on his face: "At present, all the storytellers in the major teahouses in Beijing and Central China have replaced the new scripts, and even the performances in the theaters are integrated. It’s changed. The common people like this play very much, and there is a high degree of discussion among the people, and [-]% of them have believed the allusions in the script.”

After finishing speaking, Chen Guangyi slammed his fist on the table, his resentment hard to quell: "The Qing court's Tartars reacted quickly. Just a few days after our rumors spread, their new storybook excerpts came out, as if overnight. In between, flowers bloom everywhere.

"It is said that any storyteller who is willing to tell the script will be given a penny for each story. Any troupe who is willing to rehearse this play will be given a tael of silver for every performance. Hmph, what a great deal!"

Zhu and Wei frowned slightly, and then unfolded.He put down the book in his hand, and on the cover page was the most popular topic book "Dayan Dynasty Secret Record".

"We lost this round."

"Little master, do we just let it go? It's so easy to catch a chance of cowpox. If it is done properly, it can shake the foundation of the Qing court. If we just give up like this, we may not have such an opportunity." Chen Guangyi was not reconciled .

Zhu Hewei sighed: "Since you lost, you have to admit it."

He slightly hooked his lips: "You and I both know that our rumors are not tenable at all, but they are based on the fact that the people are stupid and can be incited. We can use this, and the Tartars can also use it, it depends on who The means are higher. Our rumors spread rapidly and violently, which caught the tartars by surprise.

"At this moment, the Tartars are still immersed in the murder case of the prince's death. As long as they are a little negligent and act late, it will be difficult for them to recover when the rumors spread and become huge. Even if they detect it in time, and the first Time to make a move, and how to deal with it is also important.”

Zhu Hewei's eyes fell on the scriptbook on the table: "I thought that if they suppressed the rumors forcefully, they would give us a chance. We can provoke them and publicize their methods as embarrassment. Conclusion. Unexpectedly, they chose such a tricky method.

"It's a good idea to start with a story-telling drama. The spread is high and the spread is wide. If they directly say that the rumors are false, even if the royal family stands up to try the law, it is inevitable that some people will criticize and doubt it.

"But they followed the rumors and hid everything in the storybook. They didn't even give conclusions in the storybook, but left foreshadowing on the details of the plot. They were really smart. If someone told you, you would question the truth. But If you discover it by yourself, you will be convinced, and even faintly proud, thinking that you are a genius for discovering such a secret.

"More importantly, they didn't force the storyteller and the theater troupe to cooperate with them. Instead, they lured them with money and rewarded them with money. Don't the storyteller and the theater troupe compete with each other? The Tazi's counterattack was really a wonderful."

Chen Guangyi frowned, why did the little master still praise the enemy?

Zhu Hewei tapped the storybook with his fingers: "It reminds me of all kinds of folk storybooks when the prince of the Qing court just made vaccinia hybrid rice. Added the fairy father and son."

Chen Guangyi was taken aback: "Young master, what do you mean, this is the handwriting of that prince?"

"Maybe." Zhu and Wei are not sure, but they are a little more curious about Yinfeng. , I really want to meet Prince Yinfeng for a while."

He was precocious since he was a child, and was hailed as a child prodigy by his father and all the former ministries, and he had high hopes for him.But when he gradually grew up and was able to advise his father and show his strengths, the crown prince of the Qing court was born, and he was immediately compared to the dust.

Zhu Hewei felt depressed, but he also thought about it.If the things produced by Yinfeng are put in their hands, it doesn't have to be all, even one or two items are enough for them to buy people's hearts and overthrow the rule of the Qing court.

such a pity!These things are not theirs, and instead of being used by them, they make it difficult for them to move forward.In recent years, whether it is the Tiandihui or other organizations, the territory has shrunk by more than half.Don't talk about recruiting people into the club, as long as you reveal your identity, it's not bad if you don't get reported and arrested.

This also made their actions only more cautious, hiding under the skin of the Tiandihui.

Having said this, Chen Guangyi became even more angry: "Did the prince of the Qing court be born to subdue us! Why is the Tartar emperor so lucky!"

Zhu and Wei sighed, isn't it a good life!

Before the prince did not act, the common people's recognition of the Qing court was mediocre, and many people even said they were respectful, but they always secretly thought that "people who are not of my race must have different hearts".The rule of the Qing court seems to be firm, but in fact there are many loopholes to exploit.

After the crown prince was born, the common people's enthusiasm was high, and they had a strong trust in the Qing court. Many people even set up longevity cards for the emperor and the prince in private.In the hearts of some people, the Tartar emperor and the prince are like gods, and their status is unshakable.

Not to mention, the prince has made many pro-Han actions in recent years, advocating Sinology, and has great respect for Han teachers.

All these things made Zhu Hewei feel that what he wanted to pursue was becoming more and more difficult.

But he never shrinks back because of difficulties, he likes to face difficulties!

Zhu and Wei raised eyebrows, rumors that they lost this round, he admitted.But they didn't get nothing.What he did was kill two birds with one stone.Although the rumors were ruined, they also left a seed.

Chen Guangyi was still indignant: "I knew that the Qing court was not disturbed by the affairs in the palace at all, why would we let Miss Song have trouble. Miss Song never intervened in the affairs of the palace. Brother's rumors, I think things won't be found on her, so she doesn't have to die. She is the nail we put in with great difficulty. It's ruined like this. Hey!"

Zhu Hewei smiled lightly: "Uncle Chen can't think so. You think Miss Song's move is unnecessary, and she didn't restrain the Qing court for us, but how would you know that if she hadn't made such a move in the palace, the Tartar Emperor's Will the action be faster, will we be discovered sooner? It is unknown whether we will be able to walk by then!"

Chen Guangyi choked, and it seemed to be true.

"Those words passed by Miss Song seem to be pure revenge on Concubine De, separating her from the fourth elder brother. Who knows that it is also deepening everyone's impression of scooters, and making them more and more convinced of the death of the prince of the acne palace. caused by the car.

"This action is by no means meaningless. At least although the effect is not as good as we originally imagined, because of this incident, the investigation staff in the palace has been delayed, and the progress has indeed slowed down.

"The inside and outside of the palace are closely related. This is a case, and we cooperate with each other to investigate. If they are slow, the outside of the palace will also be slow. Besides, the words of the concubine De and the fourth elder brother who seem to be alienating on the surface are not useless. .

"Miss Song has never had a chance to stand out in the palace. She can't even see the face of the Emperor Tartar, and she can't even get close to the prince. Even other elder brothers have no chance to contact. If she continues to lurk, her effect will be limited. The sacrifice is really regrettable, but before she died, she did her best to bury a nail for us."

Chen Guangyi tilted his head, very puzzled: "The little prince is talking about Miss Yanyan?"

But wasn't Miss Yanyan sent in by them through careful planning?Moreover, Miss Yanyan came to Eldest Brother's side last year and entered the palace, so what does it have to do with Miss Song?

Zhu Hewei smiled and shook his head: "I'm not talking about Yanyan. If this nail is used well, it will be more beneficial than Yanyan. But..."

Zhu Hewei narrowed his eyes and curled his lips: "We have to let Yanyan find a way to send her a letter. Let her know what we have done for her!"

Chen Guangyi was stunned. He had followed Zhu and Wei for many years and knew them quite well. His appearance didn't seem like he was going to tell the other party what he had done, but more like telling the other party that they had a handle in their hands.

……

Yonghe Palace.

Wu Yashi sat by the window, staring at a bonsai on the window sill in a daze.When Yinzuo was around, these flowers and plants were harmed by him. Now that Yinzuo is gone, the flowers and plants in the yard seem to be blooming better.But Wu Yashi didn't feel happy, but felt more and more dazzling the more he looked at it, and suddenly stretched out his hand to tear off the flowers on the bonsai branches one by one.

Yuchan persuaded: "If the empress doesn't like it, the servants can move out."

Wu Yashi paused, looking at the crushed petals all over the ground, she also felt that she was probably in a daze, competing with a pot of flowers.

"Niang Niang, although the sixth elder brother has gone, but now he has finally found out the truth, and the sixth elder brother has known from Quanxia, ​​so he has an explanation to him."

"The truth?" Wu Yashi scoffed, "You
