Chapter 416: Counterattack
The holy decree of canonizing the crown prince has been written by Emperor Qian.
On the day when the third prince was seriously injured and returned to Beijing, Emperor Qiandi wrote it, but he kept it in the middle and did not send it, so the others did not know about it.
Yan Xi left Beijing for half a month, and only handed back an excerpt, saying that there were no bandits on the ***, and this matter turned out to be a headless public case.
Not to mention that Yan Xi, who knew the inside story, suspected that it was the private soldiers of the four princes, that is, Emperor Qian, and when he knew about the *** mountain bandits, he also subconsciously thought of those private soldiers.
For others, it is already remarkable to be able to raise 5,000 private soldiers, but for the four princes who once owned tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, 5,000 private soldiers are nothing.
If there can be one five-thousand, there can be another five-thousand.
Once there is a seed of doubt in the bottom of the heart, all the clues of the past become evidence.
The fourth prince has been a trouble-free child since he was a child, whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, he is not top-notch, but he is never at the bottom, he looks very modest, but it is impossible to ignore.
Emperor Qiandi has always treated his sons equally, with the eldest prince and the second prince, a little stupid fifth prince, and a sixth prince who is always sick and crooked, it is not ordinary for the four princes to be mediocre.
In order to be outstanding in this regard, Emperor Qian's impression of the four princes is always much better than that of the other princes.
But now it is this prince who has the most problems, and he has the most problems.
Emperor Qian's eyes were gone, and he slapped his face, and even had the idea that the four princes were not his own.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness wanted to attack Mrs. Yan's younger brother, but he was dodged. Zongzheng Temple Shaoqing Chu's wordless voice sounded clearly in the imperial study.
Although Emperor Qiandi heard clearly, he always felt that he seemed to have heard it wrong.
"You said that the fourth child was going to do something to Yan Xi's brother-in-law, why, I remember that the child was less than ten years old. ”
Chu Wuyan's family is also a side branch of the royal family, to Chu Wuyan's generation, there is only Chu Wuyan left, when he was young, he was sent by Emperor Qian to learn martial arts, and after Emperor Qiandi ascended the throne, he naturally took over the royal secret guard, and he was very heartfelt to Emperor Qian.
He has been investigating the Four Princes these days, and the more he goes deeper, the more he finds that the Four Princes are vicious and insidious, and he can be described as a complete villain.
"His Royal Highness has already done something to Mrs. Yan before. "The fourth prince is mad, what's so strange about a child?
It's just this kind of fact, and Emperor Qiandi has to figure it out himself, otherwise whatever others say is like a crime that wants to be added.
When Emperor Qiandi heard this, he really frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "When did the fourth child make a move on Yan Xi's daughter-in-law?"
The eldest princess and Yan Juma died on the battlefield, and Yan Xi has been on the battlefield all these years, not to mention the Queen Mother's nurturing grace to Emperor Qian, but at this point, Emperor Qian has guilt for Yan Xi's family, not to mention that Yan Xi has always been a good person.
The four princes did something to other princes, Emperor Qiandi was not surprised, and he didn't feel anything, the royal family has always been like this, but the four princes were staring at Yanxi, which made him very unhappy.
"Just the day before the incident in Tuntian, Mrs. Yan found a poisonous snake in her room while she was resting, and Mrs. Yan was frightened, moved to the fetus, and recuperated for a month. ”
"Poisonous snake?" Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes and remembered something, "Is that the poisonous snake hanging outside the Four Princes' Mansion?"
Chu Wuyan paused and said, "...... Be. ”
Chu Wuyan has checked the four princes for a long time, and it was very smooth at the beginning, but now he has not encountered any obstacles, and he was not very clear before, but now he is very clear.
It must have been the four princes who had already made a move on Yan Xi, and Yu Xi had already caught some of the tricks of the four princes, but he didn't want the four princes to be aggressive, which led to the Tuntian incident.
As for the private soldiers......
Judging from Chu Wuyan's experience for so many years, the six princes should have been wronged, but he admitted it, which means that he knows that being imprisoned like this is not wronged.
The six princes have always been friendly with the four princes, and now all indications show that the five thousand private soldiers are very likely to be secretly raised by the four princes.
"Wechen has only found out in recent days. Chu Wuyan silently added, he was busy checking the matter of private soldiers before.
"The fourth child's ambition is not ordinary. Emperor Qianyu sighed, his eyebrows and eyes were stained with coldness, and the four princes attacked Yan Xi, presumably there must be a reason for the 100,000 soldiers.
"The one who attacked the three princes this time should also be the fourth prince, when Wei Chen entered the palace, he learned that a close attendant in the courtyard of the three princes had poisoned the medicine that the three princes drank, and now they have been caught. ”
Even Chu Wuyan had to sigh, the fourth prince really did a good job, knowing that Emperor Qiandi was still staring at the third prince's injury, he actually dared to poison the third prince, so fearless, isn't it because he has the confidence to raise private soldiers?
How much defense there is in the capital, the four princes must be very clear, except for the five thousand who were discovered, I am afraid that the private soldiers in the hands of the four princes are only a lot more than the defense of the capital.
"What an obstacle!"
Emperor Qian was furious, Chu Wuyan was silent, and said: "Wechen has investigated these days and found that Mrs. Yan's loss back then was vaguely the handiwork of His Royal Highness. ”
"There is also the matter of the prince of Nanyu in the Suguo Mansion, and the Fourth Highness should also be involved. ”
Calculating the age, how old was the fourth prince at that time, and he made such a ruthless attack on a stranger for no reason, Rao is Chu Wuyan, as the leader of the secret guard, felt ashamed.
Emperor Qian's mood is no longer a word "angry" can be described, Su Zhiyuan is his young friend, his henchman after ascending the throne, Yan Xi is his nephew, and the family has been stationed in Licheng for him for decades, which can be described as a right-hand man, and none of them can be lost.
It's just that the four princes were ruthless to his right-hand man early, and Emperor Qiandi will have the ruthlessness to strangle the four princes.
Chu Wuyan probably felt that these things were not shocked enough, and continued: "Weichen's investigation also found that the sixth prince held a strange poison in his hands, and last year he even used a trick to use the people that Mrs. Yan knew before to drop the poison on the body of the prince of Suguo at the banquet of Lord Yang's family in Zhongshu Ling. ”
"At the beginning, it was also the road court that sentenced Su Shizi to diagnose the pulse, and found that Su Shizi was poisoned, it is said that the poison has an incubation period of ten months, and when the time comes, he will die quietly, and the pulse can not be diagnosed. ”
"This kind of strange poison has only appeared once, that is, in the harem of the previous dynasty, the six princes had an antidote in their hands, General Yan and the third highness went to ask for it, but the six princes did not give it. ”
