When this incident was discovered, the emperor was furious in the early court, and even if the prince tried every means to justify it, it was indefensible. The emperor of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info has determined that the prince is a "thief who steals the country", and in a fit of anger, he ordered the prince to be fined for a year, and thought about it behind closed doors, when he figured out when he was coming out.

The situation in the DPRK was turbulent for a while, and the direction of the wind changed greatly. The third prince and the fifth prince jointly pleaded for the crown prince, but they were also fined for half a month and fined for half a year. There was an uproar.

At night, Hengyang Palace.

"I didn't expect such a big crime to be placed on the crown prince's head, and my father only punished him for thinking about it, which is too partial." The three princes sat upright beside the bookcase, angry.

"The crown prince is the emperor's first child, and he is the queen's concubine, so he naturally prefers more. When the emperor was in the palace, he and the queen were young couples, and the plaice was deeply affectionate, which was well known. If it weren't for the queen mother's death to force the emperor to marry the imperial concubine Niangniang and Concubine De, I am afraid that the warblers and Yanyan in the harem are the queen's foils. King Hengyang said.

"But now the queen is retreating, the harem is dominated by the mother's family, and the father and the emperor favor the mother, even the queen can't compare." The third prince said. "I don't understand, obviously the queen has fallen into love, why my father is still very partial to the prince."

"Third Highness, why don't you understand it so much. Can a concubine be the same as a prince? King Hengyang said: "The emperor favors His Royal Highness, although there are reasons for the imperial concubine, but it is also because His Royal Highness has great material and can be of great use." Therefore, the emperor's preference for the crown prince has nothing to do with whether the queen has fallen out of favor. ”

"Uncle's words are good." The third prince said: "Although this time only let the prince think about it, but we will find a way in the future, so that he will never think of it." ”

"Your Highness is still too naïve." King Hengyang said: "Your Highness thinks why did the emperor only punish the crown prince? Such a crime of negligence, coupled with the reputation of a 'thief of the country', is enough to make the emperor lose his trust to the crown prince, but today's emperor's performance is not like this. Half a month later, it will be the banquet of the Five Kingdoms, and the crown prince of Great Wei will not be able to attend at that time, won't it hurt the country. ”

"What does Uncle mean?" The third prince frowned and pondered: "It turns out that my father has already thought about this, so in the end, the crown prince is just half a year more fined than me and my fifth brother, and everything else is as usual?" Why is my father so biased? ”

"Eccentric? Does His Royal Highness think that the emperor did this just because of partiality? Obviously, it was the crown prince who made a mistake, but in the end, the prince, His Royal Highness, and the five princes were punished together, and the three most powerful heirs to the throne were punished at the same time, does His Highness think that there is no other meaning in this? King Hengyang prompted.

“...... Is Father warning us? Warning us not to overdo it. The third prince sat up straight in shock: "Uncle, did he see something from my father?" ”

King Hengyang shook his head thoughtfully: "We found out about the prince's strategists forcibly occupying Mintian, so we had the intention to make some articles. We tacitly attacked at the same time as the Marquis of Pingnan, which undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the prince. But this is not what the emperor wants to see. Now that the emperor is in good health, the stability of the court is the most important thing. If something happens to the prince, you and the five princes must ask for mercy, otherwise they will fall into disagreement, and the emperor will take this opportunity to punish the two of you together, so as to maintain balance. ”

"So we've been calculating for so long, and nothing has come to fruition." The third prince was a little angry: "What the hell is this Fu Qingshi's idea, why does my uncle believe him so much." If he is like Fu Qinglin before, we will have to clean up the mess for him. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, this Fu Qingshi is not an official of the DPRK and China now, so his friendship with us is not on the surface, and naturally it will not affect us. This person will be of great use in the future, and His Highness can rest assured. King Hengyang said.

"Uncle, what's the use of Fu Qingshi, doesn't my uncle want to tell me clearly?" The third prince asked meaningfully.

"Your Royal Highness rest assured, the minister and the imperial concubine are the same mother's compatriots, and His Royal Highness is the only son of the mother who is worthy of the great responsibility, and the minister is dedicated to His Royal Highness, and there is no second heart." King Hengyang stood up and said respectfully.

"Uncle, what is this saying, I'm just curious to ask." The three princes stood up and returned the salute with the salute of the juniors. "It's late at night, and I have to go back as soon as possible, and if I am caught coming out while I am grounded, it will be a big problem."

"Your Highness, go slowly." King Hengyang respectfully sent the third prince out of the door. The moment he turned around, the expression on his face was replaced by a gloomy coldness.

It seems that his eldest nephew is not so easy to control.

King Hengyang looked at the ink treasure of the former king hanging in the study, and couldn't help but think of his father's hard work all his life to pave the smooth road for the Hengyang Palace. I want more than my father, but I can't let the third prince become a roadblock.

The Four Princes? That bastard, he can never figure out what he thinks, so it's better not to provoke him.

Now is not the time to think about this, the next play is about to start.

"You're saying that in fact the whole village had diarrhea, vomiting, and madness, all because someone had poisoned the stream that flowed through the village?"

On the roof of Yuxuan Xuan, Fu Yanxi and Helian Congyu, who was dressed in black, sat side by side. From that night up the stargazing tower, Helian Congyu always liked to take her to sit on the roof.

"Exactly." Helian Congyu nodded. Tonight, he told Fu Yanxi about this incident, but he didn't expect Fu Yanxi to sort out the relationship very clearly, and even guessed the intention of the emperor and the three of them to be punished. That's why I want to talk to her more.

"If they do this, won't they be afraid that the villages downstream will also be poisoned, and everything will be exposed when the time comes?" Fu Yanxi was puzzled.

That's where the prudence comes in. This village is the only village and town that passes through this section of the stream, and further downstream, it is only near the village. The people of this village use the water from this stream for cooking and washing on weekdays. Moreover, on weekdays, the villagers bring water for irrigation, so there are many disputes with the villages downstream. Helian Congyu explained.

"You think, if you eat so much, even the grain in the fields is poisonous, how can the villagers not be poisoned. And because water is scarce in villages downstream, every household and farmland has wells, so how can they be poisoned if they don't use poisoned stream water? Even if there is, it is still a minority, and it will not be poisoned on a large scale like this village, so it will not attract the attention of Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Helian Congyu continued.

"I see." Fu Yanxi nodded: "Sure enough, he is vicious, and he does not hesitate to disregard the lives of innocent people for his own selfishness, such a person can still ascend to the throne, how miserable the people of the world must be." ”
