In the study room of the East Palace, the atmosphere around him was as heavy as mercury, and Lu Hong stood in front of the prince's bookcase, trembling unconsciously.

Because His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been soft-spoken, suddenly slapped the bookcase, and the bang was louder than his shock.

It is no wonder that one after another, people went to Dali Temple, and shouted grievances in front of the yamen of each government, shouting grievances for Princess Yong'an, saying that this dry day was a warning from God, and the prince caught the wrong person and let the prince release Princess Yong'an.

The prince of the country, in one word, how can he say that if he is closed, he will be released, and if he is released, he will be released, and there is really a case of writing a book, and there is a death edict from the imperial envoy, what is the reason for releasing people?

Just let people go if God warns them? Then what do you need to do with these criminal codes in Dali Temple? The good guys and the bad guys are all handed over to God.

Yu Gong, Lu Hong is very opposed to this kind of voice, it is simply a blasphemy against his conscientious handling of cases for more than ten years, and private, of course he hopes that Princess Yong'an can be released from prison, he went back to read those books, and the rhetoric was more intense, to say that the interests of those sour Confucians were almost the same, and it was a bit wrongful to oppose the books.

But looking at the prince's attitude, he doesn't want to let people go easily.

The prince vented, but his heart was still blocked, he raised his head and looked at Lu Hong: "Are there any suspicious characters?" Isn't someone stirring up the hearts of the people? Is it all spontaneous? "His cousin used to play tricks like that.

Lu Hong said: "The more forbidden the people are, the more they will not forgive, and the source cannot be found." ”

Even if someone fanned the flames, to this extent, everyone is looking forward to the rain and has red eyes, as long as it is a possible way to rain, they are willing to try.

Besides, Princess Yong'an is not a villain, how many people are queuing up to the back of Princess Yong'an's shop to fetch water every day, without Princess Yong'an, this drought will be even more serious.

Letting Princess Yongan out of prison is already the voice of the whole people.

The crown prince also has the intelligence of Jinyiwei, and he knows that since he failed to fight Jinhe for rain, he has been at a disadvantage.

His good cousin can make a little more use of means, and the people's resentment can boil.

Didn't she just want him to give in and let her out of prison?

He is the crown prince, if he can't even win a woman, how can he win the world in the future.

The prince has secretly made up his mind not to let Lin Xiaojue come out, he doesn't believe that this drought is really for Lin Xiaojue's grievances, you must know that when Lin Xiaojue was imprisoned, the sky was already dry.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and explained to Lu Hong: "Send a notice, the natural disaster has nothing to do with Princess Yong'an, it is not caused by Princess Yong'an, nor is it because Princess Gong'an is wronged, and the Mongolian grassland is also suffering from drought, otherwise how can there be a border war?" They are Tatar and Mongolian, but do not believe in the princess Yong'an. There are also those who are deformed by strange powers, and they are served in prison. ”

Lu Hong understood what the prince meant, so he retreated.

After a night, the prince did not hear that the people had converged, but he did not expand the gaffe either.

The same was true for three days in a row.

In fact, the people just want a rain, as long as it can rain, they won't care if Princess Yongan can't come out.

Thinking so, the prince also thought that the people would not go too far.

How can I say that he is actively fighting disasters, and he is more serious than when his father was there.

After another five days, the drought continued, and the people's complaints continued as usual, but by this time, the prince could no longer care about the drought.

Letters came from the northwest, and the emperor arrived in Datong, and the Tatars ran away, so the emperor led the army into the steppe as before, but the Tatar tribe was not found, and the emperor himself was sick.

The letter said that it had been five days in a row, counting the days when the letter arrived in the capital, these days, I don't know if it is more serious.

The crown prince's heart is heavy, if his father dies outside and the will of the handover can't be brought back, what if Zhu Gaosui takes the opportunity to rebel?

He hurriedly called Gonggong Feng and Jin Yiwei's henchmen, this news must be blocked and cannot be spread outside.

After explaining, the crown prince left Gonggong Feng alone, this eunuch followed him when he was young, and he was a more trustworthy person than his father.

The prince said: "I ordered Lord Han to come back from Jiangxi, he is a member of the cabinet and is still in charge of the Ministry of Rites." "In case his father is really bad, he can't trust other cabinet ministers, and he needs Lord Han to help him write an edict, and the relevant process of ascending the throne must also be organized by Lord Han.

Of course, Gonggong Feng hoped that the crown prince would ascend the throne as soon as possible, and his blood was boiling when he heard it, and his voice was a little excited when he said it.

The crown prince looked at him with meaningful eyes, his father and emperor may not be dead.

Gonggong Feng also knew this, and hurriedly restrained his thoughts.

Thinking about the right thing, what do they need to do in case the emperor dies.

Of course, the most important thing is to block the news, let the prince board the plane smoothly, and the people who were sent out just now are the ones who sealed the news, and the capital is fine, so what if the news comes out directly from the northwest?

Thinking of this, Gonggong Feng put his hand on his chest and said, "Your Highness, won't the Holy Lord announce his illness?" ”

The prince looked at Gonggong Feng with the eyes of a fool; "When the army is out, I am most afraid that the army will be unstable, let alone announce, I am afraid that the people who are not serving by my father's side will not be able to know the news." The reason why he was able to receive the news was because his father had reliable eyeliner by his side.

Gonggong Feng was even more anxious: "That's right, it's impossible for the saint to hype up his illness, but what if there are people from Yunnan around the saint?" Will it be ventilated? ”

The Fang family was defeated, the Shaoshi family collapsed, and the Jiangxi case was pulled out of the remnants of the Fang family, who collected money for Zhu Gaosui, but now that they are all exposed, Zhu Gaosui's strength will become smaller and smaller.

If he can turn the tables, he will need some special periods, his father is seriously ill, this is one, if he can't get the news in time, his chances of winning are not much.

The crown prince bowed slightly when he heard Gonggong Feng's words: "The northwest side will also be blocked, and then send some people over, once someone goes to Yunnan to deliver a message, or if there is a suspicious person approaching the father, all will not be left." ”

It's better to kill the wrong than to let it go.

Gonggong Feng saw that the prince was ruthless, and his uneasy heart was half relieved, his Royal Highness the prince didn't look gentle on the surface, and he was also a decisive person, which was good, such a person is not easy to suffer.

Then there is only one thing that can't be put down in the northwest.

Gonggong Feng's voice lowered: "Your Highness, Li Guxin is by the side of the saint, he and Princess Yong'an, it is a lingering death and life, you have imprisoned Princess Yong'an, can he still serve you wholeheartedly?" ”

The prince raised his good-looking eyebrows: "Are you worried about this?" ”

Seeing the prince's relaxed expression, Gonggong Feng bent down as if asking for advice: "Your Highness, what does this mean, is it that you have already thought of a countermeasure?" ”

How long has Lin Xiaojue been locked up? If there was no countermeasure, Li Guxin would have known about it.

Li Guxin, Feng Shaoyu, Zhou Jingzhi, and his baby son, but they are all in the northwest, if they know that Lin Xiaojue is imprisoned, they must not come back to denounce him, how can they still be loyal.

The prince smiled: "Someone has already blocked all the news for the palace, and the letter sent by the Zhou family to the northwest can't reach them." "Not only the Zhou family, but all the letters about Lin Xiaojue in the capital, Li Guxin can't receive them.

It is not allowed to write letters, the emperor is seriously ill, and there is a suspicion of leaking secrets in the correspondence, and no one will be serious at this time.

Seeing that the prince was so confident, Gonggong Feng was very curious, who had such a great ability to intercept even the letters of Li Guxin and others?

At this time, the crown prince unfolded the letter from the northwest and read it again, and only the person most trusted by his father and emperor could play a role at this time.
