Hao Ming personally sent Xiu Qi to the palace, and Xiu Qi said a lot along the way.

"In the draft two years ago, Zhao Hui was not yet full of age, but the emperor had already told me in a private message that he planned to give Zhilan's niece Youyi to Si Beile as a concubine, and later, to marry Zhao Hui to Wu Beile. ”

Humming stopped, Zhao Hui will be assigned to marry the fifth elder brother??

"But......" Xiu Qi sighed, "I politely declined the emperor." I really don't want the Nalan family to get involved in the succession. ”

Humming nodded, "Brother is right to do this. ”

Xiu Qi smiled helplessly, "Therefore, the emperor chose Suo Xue Luo, the daughter of the Imperial History Guanbao of Zuodu, as the heir of Wubeile. Later, the emperor asked me how the sixth elder brother was. ”

The black line is ringing, is it impossible for the emperor to ask Zhao Hui to marry his son?

Xiu Qi sighed, "I have already rejected the fifth bel before, and if I reject the sixth elder brother again, I really don't know how to raise it." So I answered. After all, the biological mother of the sixth elder brother's jade, Concubine Chun, was only born in Baoyi, and obviously had no chance of unification. Originally, this matter was just a secret letter between me and the emperor, but somehow, I let Wubeile know!"

Hao Ming instantly understood, Xiu Qi chose a son-in-law, not the fifth beyler, but the sixth elder brother who did not have a title...... It's no wonder that Wubeile can be happy in his heart! Today's Wufu Jin Suo Luo family background is not low, but the family family is a little worse than the Nalan family, and it is obvious that Xiu Qi is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is already a provincial feudal official in his thirties, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the cabinet! If he marries Xiuqi's daughter, it will definitely be far better than marrying Suo Yu Luo!

Ming: "It seems that my brother is also suspicious of the fifth elder brother in this incident?"

Xiu Qi smiled, there was some confusion between the brothers and sisters. "Although I have been serving in Jiangnan, I still know a little bit about the temperament of several elder brothers, the king of Xunjun is not contentious, the fourth Belle has a simple temperament, and the sixth elder brother is young and reckless, but the fifth Belle ......" Xiu Qi paused, "He seems to be frank and upright. But the mind ...... But there are a lot of them. ”

"So. Brother just wants to check the guards outside the palace?" asked Ming Ming, looking at Xiu Qi.

Xiu Qi nodded, and sighed again, "But I can't be sure that I can find out the conclusive evidence." ”

He smiled. "It doesn't matter if you can't find out, at least you can knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. Fifth Elder Brother ...... When I was young, I was very well-behaved, but I didn't expect people to grow up. The heart has also grown. ”

- And because Xiu Qi refused to marry his daughter, did he have a hatred for the Nalan family? It is indeed a great humiliation for the courtiers to look down on him. In addition, she was worried that she would shake her status if she gave birth to a prince. That's why the fifth Baylor wants to strike first? chose to use the sixth elder brother, but I'm afraid it's also because after next year's draft. The sixth elder brother will marry Zhao Hui as a concubine, right?

Humiliation, profit, jealousy, all together. It's enough to breed murderous intent.

Xiu Qi's vicissitudes of life had a little emotion on his face, "After the eldest brother died, the eldest and noble prince will only have five beylers." It is inevitable that he will have a different mind. ”

Hao Ming smiled bitterly and looked down at his lower abdomen: "I don't know whether the child in my belly is male or female, is it necessary for him to do this? What's more, the queen also gave birth to two elder brothers, shouldn't he guard against me more than the twelfth elder brother?"

Xiu Qi shook his head, his fingers groping for the beard of the five-clawed golden dragon on the sword of the Son of Heaven Dragon, "Although the twelfth elder brother is a son-in-law, he can be born by himself, and the emperor didn't take a few more look......s! There's still a bit of emotion. ”

Hao Ming pursed his lips disappreciatively, "Feelings?" - If Wubeile really had the slightest affection for the queen, he would not say it in front of the emperor that day, it was the queen who sued him and killed Xu Changzai. This is obviously a pit queen!

Moreover, after the queen gave birth to the twelfth elder brother, Wubeile was sent back to Concubine Yu to be raised. The queen obviously has a son, so she doesn't want to adopt a son. Five Baylor is the son abandoned by the queen, how can he not hate the queen?!

The Twelve Elder Brothers are not liked by the emperor, but it is true. What if an elder brother who is not loved by the emperor, even if he is a son-in-law? Today's emperor is no longer the emperor who was forced to establish a reserve in his early years. Now he can make the son he wants to be the crown prince!!

Therefore, who is the crown prince must depend on the bloodline, but it also depends on whether the emperor likes it or not! Otherwise, no matter how noble the bloodline is, it will be in vain!

Xiu Qi looked at his sister with a smile: "The emperor even gave me the dragon sword, it can be seen how much he cares about you." ”

Bo Ming couldn't help but smile and said no more.

After Xiu Qi left the palace, he went to the place where the three princes were staying, and took away all the guards around them, because they held the dragon sword of the Son of Heaven in their hands, and the princes naturally did not dare to stop them.

It's just that for the guards around Xunjun Wang Yongzhang and Sibeile Yonghui, Xiu Qi only made a simple inquiry, and then let them go, except for a few guards of Wubeile. It's just that the guards of Wubeile have a very hard mouth, and the imperial guards are generally the sons of Manchurian nobles, or they are from Wujinshi, Xiuqi naturally can't be tortured, so they can only be interrogated separately, intimidated, and questioned, but those guards seem to have made confessions early, and they insist that they have not been to the moat. And Xiuqi did not find any eyewitnesses......

After a few days, not only did I not ask for a result. On the contrary, it was Wubeile who ran into the palace to complain to the emperor about his grievances.

"What did Governor Nalan mean by only detaining his son's guards?! My son has been thinking about it behind closed doors these days, but he didn't expect that it would be a disaster that fell from the sky! Ask Khan Ama to call the shots, what did the son do wrong?" Wubeile, who was already married, cried profusely, like a child.

Hao Ming was grinding ink in the emperor's recital hall at this moment, and when he saw Wubeile pouring bitter water so much, he also deeply felt that Xiu Qi had made a wrong move. It is really criticized to let go of the guards of the king of Xunjun and the four beylers, but not the guards of the five beylers.

The emperor frowned slightly: "What do you look like when you cry?!"

Wubeile rubbed the tears on his face with his sleeve, "On the way here, my son also heard about the noble concubine. At the beginning, it was true that the son should not have said things to the sixth brother that he should not have said, but the son had already realized his mistake and corrected his mistake, so how could he still make Governor Nalan doubt his son alone? Not to mention that Governor Nalan had no evidence and no evidence, how could he detain his son's guards for a long time......? It's a prince!"

Wubeile was so aggrieved that the emperor was a little speechless. After all, Mingde really didn't find the slightest evidence...... The Emperor sighed and glanced at him.

Hao Ming smiled and said, "The emperor can call the shots, and the concubines have no objections." At this point, there is really no point in holding on any longer. What's more, it is obviously impossible to find out any evidence. Five Baylor is not very old, but he is very clean. It was precisely because he saw that in the land of Hangzhou, the strength of the sticky pole was weak, so he dared to start.

Five Baylor went away satisfied.

The emperor looked at Ming Ming and said, "Ming'er, this is the ...... That's it?"

Hao Ming sighed softly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he no longer adhered to the rules and etiquette, "Hongli, you can also see that the sixth elder brother was calculated by a minion, and that minion died in the hands of the guards." The only one who can summon the imperial guards, except for you, is the four elder brothers. Since the sixth elder brother has been excluded, the remaining third elder brother, fourth elder brother and fifth elder brother, you say, who is the most suspicious?"

- The sixth elder brother lived in the palace, which became his biggest advantage, his every move was under the emperor's nose, and that evening, his guards were all in the palace and never went out. So he was the first to be excluded.

The Emperor was silent.

After a long time, the emperor said: "Yongzhang is safe, he won't do this kind of thing, Yonghui is honest, he doesn't dare to do this kind of thing, but Yongqi ...... Yongqi has a pure character, how can it stop like this?"

Hao Ming said lightly: "Two years ago, my brother refused to give Zhao Hui to the fifth elder brother as a concubine. Fifth Elder Brother already knows about this, right?"

The emperor frowned, "Just for this matter, Yongqi won't be like this." ”

Ming raised his eyebrows: "What if you add a prince's throne?"

"Ming'er!" the emperor's brow furrowed a little deeper.

Ming sighed, "That's it, I won't say it, so that you don't think I'm provoking your father-son relationship again." Say, she picked up the double-sided embroidered moon fan on the case, shook her head and was about to leave.

"Ming'er-" The emperor hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ming's hand, "What 'provoke' or not 'provoke', you are too careful!"

The emperor sighed and said, "Anyway, if there is no evidence, I can't deal with Yongqi because of a little suspicion, right?"

He was very suspicious of this matter, so you should always be careful in the future, right? I don't want to meet this kind of thing a second time! I haven't returned to the palace yet! Someone actually did it!"

The Emperor smiled, "Okay, I'll tell you to stare at the sticky pole." ”

What Ming wanted was the emperor's words, and when he returned to Beijing in the future, he was watched by the sticky rod, unless Wubeile didn't do anything anymore, otherwise once he made a move, he would be noticed by the emperor.

The emperor did not hesitate to agree to let the sticky pole stare at it, which showed that he was more or less suspicious of this son.

Five Baylor residences, Fu Homes.

Several guards knelt on the ground, and the black-faced man led by him kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt: "It's all to blame the slave for not being careless, if I knew this, I would have strangled Xiaoqizi directly, and I wouldn't have found the embroidered spring knife!"

Wubeile's face was irritable at the moment, he thought that he had done a single qiē without leaking, but he didn't expect it...... Fortunately, a string of confessions has been arranged a long time ago, otherwise I am afraid that something bad will happen!

"Nalan Xiuqi doubts me, which means that Concubine Shu also suspects me!" Wu Beile frowned, this is the worst thing. Shu Guifei is deeply favored by Khan Ama, and it will be a big bad thing to blow some pillow wind in the future! And Shu Guifei has a defensive heart, and it will be difficult to start in the future!

"In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it again. Wubeile muttered to himself, a grim smile appeared on his face, where is there still the appearance of an honest and frank gentleman in front of people on weekdays?

"I won't do it, when I go back to the palace, someone will do it!!"——His mother-in-law, how could she allow the prince to overpower the twelve brothers?!

It's just that Wubeile didn't expect that Hao Ming didn't return to the Forbidden City at all, but went back to the Old Summer Palace directly. (To be continued.) )
