Liao Chuxiu glanced sideways at Feng Qizhou, and saw Feng Qizhou glaring at him full of warning.

Liao Chuxiu smiled and didn't speak, and he didn't promise whether it was okay or not.

Shao Jin and Feng Qiao didn't hear Feng Qizhou's defense against Liao Chuxiu, Feng Qiao poured tea for Feng Qizhou, and asked curiously: "Daddy, you came back so late today, but what happened?"

Feng Qizhou heard her ask about the matter, and said: "This morning, there were suddenly a large number of people who impeached King Xiang, and even alluded to Cai Yan's collusion with King Xiang, and the words were extremely intense, and Rui Min and Cen Zongguang and others also uncharacteristically did not defend King Xiang, after noon, when His Majesty summoned me to the palace, I heard someone in the palace also say that Concubine Li was exposed by his subordinates to murder the palace concubine and the heir. ”

"Inside and outside the palace, they unanimously demanded that the mother and son of King Xiang be severely punished, and His Majesty Long Yan was furious and ordered me to strictly investigate Cai Yan's affairs, but he also stopped at Cai Yan. ”

Feng Qiao raised his thin eyebrows when he heard this, and naturally understood what the sentence "Strictly investigated Cai Yan's affairs, but also stopped at Cai Yan".

Since Cai Yan was involved this time, it must be impossible to get out completely, whether it is the eldest prince who was calculated by Cai Yan last time and almost lost his favor, or the fourth prince who is jealous of Cai Yan's position, he will not let Cai Yan get away with it so easily, and Emperor Yongzhen does not allow such people in the court to deceive his superiors and subordinates, even for his own prestige, he will definitely punish Cai Yan severely, but things only stop there.

No matter who did it, or how much it was involved, in Emperor Yongzhen, it had nothing to do with Xiao Minyuan, and Cai Yan was responsible for the big sins.

Emperor Yongzhen's distinction was clearly because of the joint persecution of the front and back, and he had a rebellious heart.

Yesterday, I thought about punishing Xiao Minyuan severely, but today I decided to let him go...

After Feng Qiao put the poured tea in front of Feng Qizhou, he shook his head and said, "Who did this stupid thing, the court made trouble, and there was an accident in the palace, is this rushing to exonerate King Xiang?"

Feng Qizhou listened to Feng Qiao's words and didn't speak, just looked up at Liao Chuxiu and the others.

Liao Chuxiu said with a low smile: "This is not necessarily done by others, in the recent past, although the eldest prince and the fourth prince have the intention to suppress King Xiang, but Chen Pinyun and Li Fengqian are pressing, except for the two vacancies that Lu Youfeng and Meng Lun have left behind, they have not interfered in other things in the Xiangwang Mansion." ”

"Before, Lord Feng proposed that the Hanlin Academy rebuild the "Great Yan Zhengji", bring up the old things of Lin'an again, and involve Cai Yan again, when the two of them secretly found out who was attacking King Xiang, and guarded against each other for fear that they would be harmed by someone after they made a move, and fell into each other's calculations, and now such a big scene is not like the two of them can do it. ”

Although Xiao Xianhong and Xiao Yanxu are not very ambitious, they may not have taken the opportunity to step on Xiao Minyuan so that he will never have a chance to turn over, if they really only rely on their own wishes, I am afraid that they would have already made a move, but who let Chen Pinyun and Li Fengqian stand behind those two?

Chen Pinyun and Li Fengqian are both cunning and cunning old foxes, the two have been up and down in the court for many years, and they know the heart of Emperor Yongzhen, how can they not understand what it means to be too much.

They can use their hands and feet, or they can secretly cut off Xiao Minyuan's wings in the court, take the opportunity to replace them, and even find some trouble for Rui Min and others, secretly pry Xiao Minyuan's wall foot, and take advantage of his inconvenience in prison to pull the people under his command into their camp, but at this time, it is absolutely impossible for them to be so rash and attack King Xiang in the court, and at the same time put Concubine Li to death in the harem.

Let's not say that they have so much conclusive evidence in their hands, and even if they do, isn't it just a clear way to tell Emperor Yongzhen how many courtiers they have gathered, as long as they want to, they can eradicate dissidents, and even force the emperor to uproot the mother and son of King Xiang?

Emperor Yongzhen is the most suspicious, and the things on the night of the fifteenth day are also full of flaws, if he is made to believe that all the things that night were done by the eldest prince and the fourth prince, the purpose is to calculate and frame King Xiang, then even if King Xiang has offended a lot before, as long as it does not involve the throne, he will not easily dispose of King Xiang and let the situation in the court get out of control.

Now there is King Xiang in the court, there are the eldest prince and the fourth prince, showing a three-legged situation, fighting with each other but guarding against each other, not daring to go all out easily, for fear that the remaining person will get the benefit of the fisherman under the two-sided competition, but once the king of Xiang is demoted, the three-legged situation becomes a two-sided competition between the big prince and the fourth prince, who can guarantee that the two will have scruples in their hearts, instead of doing their best in addition to each other.

Once the forces on both sides fight recklessly, how can the situation in the DPRK and China be completely controlled by Emperor Yongzhen?

Emperor Yongzhen has a stronger desire to control than anyone else, and he will never let people easily upset the current "balance" situation in the court, or even endanger his throne.

"I think Xiao Minyuan probably got the news and knew that Cai Yan had fallen into the hands of Lord Feng, and he had old grudges with Lord Feng, plus Li Fengqian and Chen Pinyun had been digging into his corner recently, and had close contacts with Rui Min and others, so he couldn't wait any longer, and he used the strategy of putting him to death and resurrecting him. ”

Shao Jin listened to Liao Chuxiu's words, frowned for a long time before he spoke: "In other words, the matter of the court this morning was made by King Xiang himself? But isn't he afraid of problems when he does this? He has all his hole cards out, if he can't let His Majesty be suspicious of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, won't he send himself to a dead end?"

"Or are all the things said on the excerpt false, and they can withstand His Majesty's order to investigate?"

Feng Qizhou shook his head and said: "Fake may not be fake, but it certainly can't be all true." I was also present in the early dynasty, and the charges and evidence that those people said at that time were really less than 12 out of 12, I think if Xiao Minyuan couldn't grasp His Majesty's thoughts, I was afraid that there would be no way out if he really let it out. ”

Although his trip was risky, it also left a way out for himself, and the things he let him throw out were all inconsequential things, even if His Majesty did not release him out of concern for the balance of the situation as he expected, and even ordered to investigate the so-called incriminating evidence, I am afraid that in the end, what was found out would not hurt him at all. ”

"Yes, if Emperor Yongzhen believed him, and even thought that the affairs of the court were done by the eldest prince and the fourth prince in collusion with the courtiers, and believed that they wanted to eliminate dissidents and put King Xiang to death, then he would be able to take the opportunity to completely turn over, and even easily escape from prison and return to King Xiang's mansion, completely out of the current predicament. ”
