Not long after Ye Fan and the others left, the commander of the Praetorian Guard came with people, and at this time, only Ye Shu's body and Shang Ye were standing there coldly.

"I've seen Lord Shang. The commander of the Praetorian Guard saluted Shang Ye, and then turned his head to look at the puddle of corpses on the ground, "This... What's going on?"

"That was the case when I arrived. Shang Ye said coldly.

"This—" The Janissary Commander looked at Shang Ye hesitantly, not knowing what to say.

"Dare to ask Lord Shang, how should this be handled?" the commander of the Praetorian Guard asked, and after finishing speaking, he put his mouth close to Shang Ye's ear and whispered, "After all, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty wants to live, and now we can't explain it." ”

"Have you ever seen Nan Xuanji's corpse?" Shang Ye's words woke up the Praetorian Guard, and he looked around, but he really didn't see Nan Xuanji's corpse.

"Could it be that Nan Xuanji killed the prince and escaped by himself!"

"The prince's rebellion is not a glorious thing, and His Majesty probably does not want to hear such words come into his ears. Shang Ye said, "The Praetorian Guard Commander must have this in mind. ”

The Praetorian Guard Commander nodded, and quickly retreated with his men.

......

Tai Chi Temple

"Your Majesty. The eunuch Feng Yi came up and saluted Emperor Zhaoning.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Zhaoning threw away the chess pieces and raised his eyes to look at Feng Yidao.

"Back to Your Majesty, Prince... He's dead. When Feng Yi said this, his face was a little panicked.

"It's dead!" Emperor Zhaoning was furious, "What about the Janissary Commander!"

"Your Majesty is angry. Feng Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Praetorian Guard has returned, and when they arrive, the crown prince has already been killed." According to the speculation of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, it was the crown prince Nan Xuanji who killed the prince and fled alone, and the prince's rebellion was also instigated by Nan Xuanji......"

"Oh?" Emperor Zhaoning said lightly, "Then let's make a decree like this." ”

"Huh?" Feng Yi didn't react for a while.

"What?" Emperor Zhaoning looked at him.

"Minion Command. Feng Yi reacted quickly and hurriedly retreated.

......

The coup d'état in the East Palace was known all over the city, and the next day, Emperor Zhaoning issued a holy decree to the effect of the following.

The prince was bewitched by the Taifu Nan Xuanji and committed a conspiracy against him, but finally repented and committed suicide to apologize. , retained his title of prince, and chased him as Prince Zhanghuai. In addition, the two brothers of Nan Xuanji and Nangong Ying were found guilty of conspiracy against each other, and all their powers were removed, and they were searched and arrested throughout the country, and they must be arrested and interrogated by the Criminal Department.

......

"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty. Since Emperor Zhaoning issued the decree, he announced that Shang Ye entered the palace.

"Flat. Emperor Zhaoning raised his hand, "I ordered you to come today, I plan to let you take Nan Xuanji's position and supervise the transportation of troops and weapons, what do you think?"

"The minister thinks that since His Majesty trusts the minister, the minister should receive the order. Shang Ye replied.

"It's just..."

"Huh?"

"The minister thinks that Nan Xuanji has learned from the past, and it would be inappropriate to let the minister supervise the affairs of the military ships alone. Shang Ye said again.

"It's okay, I trust you. "Emperor Zhaoning said.

"For the sake of safety, Your Majesty should choose someone to supervise with you. Shang Ye insisted.

"Oh well. Emperor Zhaoning did not refuse, "That being the case... Let Wen Xu, the chief of the royal guard of the hinterland department, supervise this matter with you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"In addition, Nangong Ying is dead, who else do you think can be the commander of the second department?"

Shang Ye thought for a moment and replied, "The minister thinks that Liu Sizhe, the deputy commander of a place, may be. ”

Liu Sizhe and Yeji's mother clan are considered to be the same clan, and Shang Ye's suggestion was also to persuade Emperor Zhaoning to make up for the blow to King Yi of the Liu family's annihilation.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. Emperor Zhaoning nodded, "You step back first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

After Shang Ye retreated, Emperor Zhaoning summoned Feng Yi and asked, "Yesterday's incident, can the princes make any moves?"

"Except for King Yi Yeji, the rest of the princes did not move. Feng Yi replied.

"I know. Emperor Zhaoning thoughtfully, "By the way, it will soon be Emperor Beixuan's birthday, and I plan to send a prince to congratulate him." ”

"Then Your Majesty has a suitable candidate in mind?" Feng Yi asked.

"Just Yelan. "Emperor Zhaoning said," he was calm and clever, and instructed him to act when he saw the opportunity in Beixuan, so that he could stay for a while and come back, so as to understand the politics of Beixuan more thoroughly. ”

"Yes, the slave will go to the Guangwang Mansion to inform the Guangwang. Feng Yizuo retreated.

......

Guangwang Mansion

At this time, Yejun, Yefan, and Yelan were gathering in the Guangwang Mansion.

"You killed Yeshu?" Yelan took a sip of tea, and his tone was calm.

"Yes. Ye Fan confessed, "Four hidden weapons, the last one killed him." ”

"And what did he say before he died?" interjected.

"I didn't give him a chance to speak. Ye Fan seemed to be smiling, "Now that the matter has passed, don't mention it again, drink tea." ”

As soon as Ye Fan's words fell, the guards at the door came in and reported, "Your Highness, the eunuch Feng Yi is here and said that he has brought His Majesty's will. ”

"Let him in. Yelan got up.

Feng Yi walked in with the holy decree in his hand, and he made a simple salute to Yelan Yefan, the night monarch, "I've seen the three princes. ”

"My father-in-law is polite, I don't know if my father-in-law is here this time, but what is the important matter?" Yelan asked.

"It's a good thing. Feng Yi smiled, "Your Royal Highness the King of Light, Your Majesty has sent you a beautiful gift." ”

After finishing speaking, Feng Yi spread out the holy decree and began to read it.

"King of Light Yelan received the decree~~~, and ordered King Guang Yelan to be the envoy of Jiuchen to congratulate him on the same day, and congratulate Emperor Beixuan on his birthday~Chin this~"

"Commandment. Yelan took the holy decree and said to Feng Yi, "Father-in-law has worked hard all the way, why don't you sit down and drink two cups of tea before leaving?"

"Your Highness is polite, the slave has to go back to the palace to resume his life, so he won't stay long. Feng Yi smiled and refused, and left after announcing the decree.

"Fourth brother, isn't this exactly what you think?" Ye Fan approached Ye Lan and smiled.

"I see that my father values you so much now, and even entrusts you with such a task, I am afraid that in a short time, he will make you the crown prince. Yejun also came over and said.

"The East Palace is not a good place, besides, there is no King Yi eyeing this, why should I fight for this position?"

"Fourth brother, my brother wishes you a smooth journey. Ye Fan said with a smile.

"When you come back, go to my newly opened restaurant for a meal, let's not get drunk and go home." "Night Monarch said.

Yelan smiled slightly, and there were ripples in her heart.
