Xiao Minyuan naturally knows this truth, although he has no intention of rebelling for the time being, and he has never thought of forcing the palace to seize the throne, but once he steps into the whirlpool of seizing the heir, he only has the choice of life and death, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other changes in the future.

Whether it is the patrol battalion in charge of the defense of the city in Beijing, or the Praetorian Guard in charge of the defense of the palace, they are the places that can most restrain his future success, even if it can't fall into his hands, it must not fall into the hands of others.

Otherwise, once the person who succeeds becomes rebellious, then he will become the turtle in this urn, and he will not even have the strength to resist.

Cheng Yu was the most cautious, listening to the words of a few people, but he did not echo it, but frowned on the side and said: "That being said, today's incident is too sudden, although the palace sent the news, but I don't know what the follow-up will be, and I don't know if Your Majesty has punished those two." ”

"At present, the palace is strictly prohibited, and the news will definitely not be transmitted, if the prince rashly enters the palace to deal with those two people, there is no way to explain where you got the news from, and if someone provokes it again, I am afraid that the prince will be charged with spying on the holy driver. ”

"And that Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin were chosen by His Majesty, and they can be in charge of the Forbidden Palace and the defense of Beijing, and it is precisely because the two of them have never been involved with the courtiers, if the prince behaves with the two of them at this time, he will definitely arouse His Majesty's suspicion, and even suspect that you have already colluded with them. ”

"In the opinion of Wei Chen, it is better to be quiet and not to move at this time, the prince might as well wait a little longer, don't act in a hurry, and wait until the exact news in the palace comes out, it is not too late for us to move. ”

Xiao Minyuan listened to Cheng Yu's words thoughtfully, turned his head to look at Wei Yuchun and said, "Mr. Wei, what do you think?"

Wei Yuchun, who had been sitting beside him, said with a slight flash in his eyes: "I think what Master Cheng said makes sense, although the incident happened suddenly tonight, it is a fact that Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin were calculated, and the person who secretly attacked the two of them was nine times out of ten for the position under them." ”

"Lord Wang, you should know that Your Majesty has always been suspicious, even if he blames Liao Chuxiu and the two for the affairs of the Hyogo Division and the palace, he may not really resign the two of them from their official positions, and the positions of the military patrol envoy and the commander of the forbidden army are by no means so easy to be held by those people. ”

"At this time, the prince should be quiet and not move, so as not to accidentally fall into the trap of others and be calculated by others. ”

Rui Min frowned at Wei Yuchun's words and said, "But if we don't move and let them take down Liao Chuxiu and them, won't the matter of the commander of the forbidden army and the defense of Gyeonggi be handed over to others at that time?"

Wei Yuchun shook his head: "Lord Rui's words are wrong, what I said is not to do anything, it is not really to do nothing, although it is not appropriate for the prince to enter the palace at this time and be involved with those two people, but the position under the secret person and Liao Chuxiu cannot be guarded against." ”

"Since those people dared to burn the Hyogo Division, and made the assassin matter to blame Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin, presumably they will have a backhand, in case Liao Chuxiu and the two are really removed from their official positions because of this incident, there will be a scramble between these two places at that time, and we must also prepare the right person to go up in advance, we must not let those two errands fall into the hands of others, and besiege me in the future." ”

Several people listened to Wei Yuchun's words, and they all agreed in their hearts, and Xiao Minyuan already trusted Wei Yuchun, and knew that Wei Yuchun had a very accurate vision for things, so he nodded and said: "What Mr. Wei said makes sense, everyone, do you have a favorite candidate in your heart?"

Rui Min and Cen Zongguang all calmed down, thinking about the right candidate, while the others were gossiping about who was suitable for which position.

"I think He Ye can, he was originally a military general, and he had served in the forbidden army before, so he should be familiar with the defense of the palace..."

"Xia Yongsheng is also good, he is quick-witted, and his skills are good, and he has been praised by His Majesty for his bravery before. ”

"What about Qi Meng, what do you think of Qi Meng? I think Qi Meng is more suitable than Xia Yongsheng, he has a slight relationship with General Qi, and he has also followed General Qi to Beining and fought with the north, he already has a record of success, and he has to be taken care of by the Qi family, he is an excellent candidate..."

"Yes, Qi Meng is good. ”

"I think Qi Meng is ......"

Several people in the room were talking, Xiao Minyuan had been listening carefully to the words of several people, discussing with them from time to time, how could he still see the ruthlessness and coldness on his face when he was with Feng Yan a little bit ago.

At this time, he had already left Feng Yan behind in his heart, and he had forgotten about the things that offended Zhaoping.

A group of people talked for a long time, seeing that the time had passed for another half a while, and Xiao Minyuan was about to send someone to find out the news in the palace, when someone suddenly broke in outside the door, Liu Xi's expression was full of panic, and he didn't look at the faces of the other people at all, and said to Xiao Minyuan urgently: "Lord Wang, it's not good, something happened." ”

Xiao Minyuan stood up with a calm face, frowned, and said, "What's wrong, what do you look like in such a panic......

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xi directly said urgently: "Lord, the news sent urgently from the palace, the county lord of Zhaoping entered the palace to face the saint, and informed His Majesty of the events on Fengyang Street tonight, Your Majesty Long Yan was furious, not only angrily reprimanded the prince for his bad intentions and no king, but also ordered someone to go out of the palace to arrest the prince. ”

"What do you say?!!"

Xiao Minyuan's face changed greatly, and even Cen Zongguang and the others next to him were panicked.

Xiao Min strode up to Liu Xi and said in a cold voice: "Isn't it already forbidden in the palace, how could Zhaoping enter the palace, what did she say to her father, how could my father order someone to arrest me?!"

Liu Xi hurriedly said: "The eldest princess was assassinated and injured in the palace, and the lord of Zhaoping entered the palace with the eldest princess, and she directly told His Majesty what Miss Feng said on the street, and His Majesty immediately became furious, suspecting that the prince had bad intentions, and even suspected that the affairs of the Hyogo Division and the palace tonight were done by the prince. ”

"Your Majesty has ordered the palace to directly arrest the prince and send him to the prison, so there is no need to bring him into the palace for questioning......"

Xiao Minyuan's figure flickered, and his face turned pale instantly.

Ruimin and the others listened to Liu Xi's words, and they were also panicked, how could they not know what Liu Xi's words meant, Emperor Yongzhen was obviously really angry.

If the prince made a mistake at ordinary times, as long as it was not a major crime of rebellion and murder, he would be escorted into the palace for questioning first, and then dealt with, but this time Emperor Yongzhen directly asked King Xiang to be sent to the prison, and he didn't have to go into the palace to reply, which means that Emperor Yongzhen really disliked Xiao Minyuan, and it can even be said that he was murderous to him.

At the beginning, the second prince died in the prison, and later the seventh prince was demoted to a commoner in the prison and was never allowed to enter Beijing, but now he has become the king of Xiang......

They were obviously full of ambition and confident a moment ago, discussing who should replace Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin's positions, taking those two important positions into their hands, and paving the way for King Xiang to win the heir, but in an instant, King Xiang attracted the wrath of the emperor, and even immediately went to prison.

This......

What the hell is going on here?!

Rui Min looked a little flustered and said, "Lord Wang, who is Miss Feng, what is the matter between you and the county lord of Zhaoping, how could she sue you into the palace?"

Cheng Yu's face was also heavy on the side, he always remembered that his son was calculated by the county lord of Zhaoping and married the county lord of Lianyun County, although he was not dissatisfied with Mu Lianyun's daughter-in-law, and the Zhongyi Houfu still had the sacred heart, and Mu Lianyun's uncle was also in an important position, if it was an ordinary situation, their family and the Zhongyi Houfu were still Gao Pan, and his son would not suffer a loss if he could marry Mu Lianyun.

But the original thing was not glorious after all, there were many people who knew about it that day, although His Majesty gave marriage afterwards, and also issued a royal decree so that everyone did not dare to say it clearly, but there are still many people talking about it in private, even if the two families get married, after all, there are still people pointing fingers.

Cheng Yu's ill feelings towards the county lord of Zhaoping were stronger than anyone else's, and when he heard Rui Min's words, he also asked on the side: "Lord Wang, the county lord of Zhaoping is used to being unreasonable and arrogant, how could you have a dispute with her, and let her sue in front of the saint? What did you say to make Your Majesty so angry?!"

"Yes, my lord, what is going on, how can Your Majesty order someone to arrest you?"

"yes, is there some misunderstanding?!"

Xiao Minyuan listened to the questions of several people and clenched his teeth.

What did they say to Zhaoping?

said that he won over the Wen family, gathered the people in the north, and found Xi Gong?

Or does he already regard the throne as something in his pocket in his heart, covet the throne in private, and even have the idea of becoming a concubine after ascending the throne?

Xiao Minyuan didn't know how much the county lord of Zhaoping had said to Emperor Yongzhen after entering the palace, and he didn't know why the things she said could make Emperor Yongzhen so decisive to him, Xiao Yumo made a rebellious move at the beginning, and plotted against Feng Qizhou with Feng Yuansu and Feng Keshou, but it was also because he hurt Emperor Yongzhen and the palace concubine, and even counted the emperor into it, so he angered Emperor Yongzhen and put Xiao Yumo in prison, but what was he doing this time? !

Feng Yan's words were just gibberish, and they weren't even said by him himself at all, why was Emperor Yongzhen so angry, and he didn't even want to let him enter the palace to reply, so he directly sent him to the prison?!

Wei Yuchun knew what happened before, and when Feng Yan said those words, he was also on the spot.

Although he knew that those words would cause trouble for Xiao Minyuan, he never thought that the county lord of Zhaoping would go directly to the palace to complain, and Emperor Yongzhen would be so angry with Xiao Minyuan because of those few words.

Wei Yuchun looked at Xiao Minyuan's pale and blue face, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Rui, Lord Cheng, now is not the time to talk about this, and I can't say a word or two about the previous things. After he finished speaking, he said to Xiao Minyuan: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty is so angry that there is no room for words, should we ......?"

Wei Yuchun's eyes flashed ruthlessly as he spoke, and Rui Min's faces changed.

They all knew what Wei Yuchun's unfinished words meant, that was their last hand, and it was something they would do as a last resort, because once they did it, if they didn't succeed, it would be a catastrophe.

Several people turned their heads to look at Xiao Minyuan.

Xiao Minyuan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of struggle, and after a while, he forced himself to calm down, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Lord Wang!" Wei Yuchun frowned.

Xiao Minyuan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "That matter, if it is not a last resort, it must not be done lightly, and today's incident happened suddenly, and the palace has been strictly prohibited, even if we do it, the chance of success is too small, and it may even be a moth to the fire, giving away his life in vain." ”

"My father is suspicious of me, but I don't think there is anything about Zhaoping that is enough to make my father kill me, and don't you think the news in the palace is too timely?"

"My father just gave the order, and even the palace guards haven't left the palace to run an errand, and the news has already been sent out first, isn't this someone deliberately calculating against me, in order to make me make a mistake in a panic, and confirm the charge of misdeeds and rebellion in the center of my father's mouth, and then let my father be really angry and behead me mercilessly?"

Wei Yuchun listened to Xiao Minyuan's words, his expression moved, and after a while, he said: "But Lord Wang, this is too risky, in case Your Majesty really kills you, then aren't you throwing yourself into the net this time?!"

Xiao Minyuan pursed his lips tightly, his expression full of heaviness.

How could he not know how risky his decision was, and how could he not know that once his guess was wrong, after being captured and sent to the heavenly prison in such a restrained manner, there was no possibility of turning over, and he lost the opportunity to fight for the throne and become the lord of the world.

But......

But he had to gamble, and even he had to gamble.

Emperor Yongzhen's control over the court is far more than what they see, in addition to the patrol battalion and the city guards, there are also people from Emperor Yongzhen hidden in the capital, but those people are easy not to move.

Tonight's events were so sudden, they didn't prepare in advance at all, not to mention the strict ban in the palace at the moment, and because of the assassin and the fire of the Hyogo Division, they were on military defense everywhere, and they acted rashly at this time, and the chance of success was less than thirty percent, or even lower.

What's more, did Emperor Yongzhen order people to arrest him, didn't he guard against him, and this news was sent in such a timely manner, once someone deliberately wanted to provoke him to do it, and he stepped into the trap, even if there was nothing to do, there would be something to do, and Emperor Yongzhen would never keep him again.

Although Xiao Minyuan is ambitious, he knows when not to rush.

Over the years, he has been able to rely on himself, without a mother, without a favored mother, without a strong background, step by step, how much effort has been spent and how much effort has been spent.

He would never allow anyone to ruin him easily, let alone ruin all his hopes because he took one wrong step.
