Emperor Chu faced the bookcase, and seemed to have maintained the same movement for a long time without moving, Du Hai looked at it quietly, and felt that his posture was uncomfortably stiff. Please search ()! The fastest update

It was a long time before he moved. I opened the bookcase, pulled a book out of it, flipped through it, reached out and stroked the pages, and then put it back in its place.

Divided into inexplicable ordinary movements, when Emperor Chu turned around again, Du Hai obviously saw that his face seemed to be dyed black with layers of ink.

The Zhang family is neutral and has always been loyal to the emperor, so Zhang Gongyu's secret report is true. It's just that this matter is too important, even if the credibility is very high, Emperor Chu will not make a decision based on his words alone.

In this matter, he must take the initiative to grasp the opportunity, but he must also confirm it as soon as possible.

He sat down slowly with a frown, and thought silently for a while, before he began to write the secret order quickly.

Two quarters of an hour later, several secret orders were issued one after another from the Imperial Study.

In addition to spying on the truth from all walks of life, there are also those who secretly and directly transfer people to the imperial tomb.

Starting from the capital, if you go all the way, it won't take a day to reach the imperial tomb. Half an hour after the secret order was issued, a group of dark dragon guards disguised as ordinary people separated from the various city gates.

Their target is the imperial tomb, and the edict in their hands is to personally go to the imperial tomb to secretly recall the prince back to Beijing.

The reason why Emperor Chu wanted them to act secretly was that he had not yet completed the one-year period of demoting the prince to sweep the imperial tomb, secondly, he could not make a big show to make people aware of it, and thirdly, he was somewhat concerned about the power of the queen's mother's family.

After all kinds of comprehensive considerations, the strongest guard, the Dark Dragon Guard, was sent out.

Since this guard is named the Dark Dragon Guard, in addition to appearing in front of people in front of people on weekdays, it is also a guard who is very good at hiding their tracks. From the time they were ordered to set off until they finally arrived at the Imperial Tomb, no one in the crown prince's people was aware of their arrival.

Therefore, when one of them changed into an inner chamberlain and entered the imperial tomb to announce the decree to the prince, the imperial tomb seemed to cause a great earthquake.

"What to do? What to do? ”

"Why haven't we heard anything about this before? Does this mean that the matter here has been revealed? ”

"Even if you send someone to deliver a letter to him now, you won't be able to come back in a short time. If I show up, will I be seen out quickly? ”

In an independent palace room in the imperial mausoleum, the furnishings are very simple, but the figure who is so anxious that he keeps walking around still looks like a prince from a distance. But if you get closer, you will find that this person and the prince are only similar in form.

It's okay if he doesn't speak, but when he does, everything is revealed.

Thinking about it, even though the prince has been shrouded in the light of the queen for a long time, he looks a little mediocre and inferior. But after all, he is the prince of a country, and his temperament and upbringing are not bad at all. What's more, without the powerful backer of the queen as a background, the prince's own ability is not really so miserable.

At this moment, the impostors in the palace obviously haven't even learned one-tenth of the prince's fur.

didn't even look like it, and as soon as he heard that someone was coming from the palace in the capital, he immediately panicked and ran out of ideas.

"Your Highness, please be calm, you must remain calm." Someone next to him whispered to him, "The news is for that person, but before he rushes back, His Highness must not mess with himself, at least he must stabilize them." ”

"If they find out that something is wrong, then he will be in danger outside, and you will not survive. Not only you, but even your nine clans can't escape. ”

Such a big crime as pretending to be a prince is indeed not an exaggeration to destroy the nine clans.

Of course, what remained in front of this imposter was a person who was very good at psychological speculation, using both soft and hard, and sure enough, just a few words of persuasion and appeasement, almost immediately had an immediate effect.

"And what do you think I'm going to do now?"

"Receive them, first receive His Majesty's will." The man gave him an idea in a suppressed voice, "Hengzhu is now late, even if he receives the order, he will have to rest all night and wait for tomorrow to return to Beijing to resume his life." ”

At the very least, it would give them a one-night buffer. Maybe they can do a lot of things this night.

The prince thought about it, but he didn't come up with a good way, so he could only do what he proposed.

After a little make-up, the prince, who was a little haggard and a little thin but still in good spirits, summoned the chamberlains who had come to announce the decree in a palace room that was also considered simple.

"Slave Zhao Shun knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince." Led by Zhao Gonggong, the other three knelt on the ground and saluted the prince.

"Father-in-law Zhao, right?" The prince lifted his eyelids, and his attitude did not appear arrogant, "Get up and speak." ”

"Your Highness."

"Everyone is in a hurry, and they must be tired now," the prince said to himself, and the corner of his eyes glanced at the inner servants who hung their heads with an uncertain expression, and said, "Come on, arrange a few fathers-in-law, let them rest first before talking." ”

"Thank Your Highness for your good intentions," Gonggong Zhao hurriedly said that he had come to express his intentions, "but the servants are here by order, and I also ask Your Highness to accept Your Majesty's will first." ”

The prince frowned, glanced at them unhappily, and saw that Gonggong Zhao and the others stood with their heads down, but they were neither humble nor arrogant. He seemed to hum helplessly, and then said, "Well, since the fathers-in-law are not tired, let's announce the will of my father first." ”

Zhao Gonggong said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

After the words fell, he immediately took out the holy decree with his hands and feet, and read it out to the prince with an expressionless face.

When the prince saw this, he had to kneel on the ground to listen to the order.

“…… The matter is urgent, please listen to the prince and return to Beijing secretly as soon as possible. ”

After the crown prince received the holy decree, his father-in-law looked confused, "May I ask Gonggong Zhao, do you know why my father suddenly urgently summoned the palace back to Beijing?" ”

Zhao Gonggong showed a standard smile, and took a step back slightly without a trace before saying, "Your Highness said that it was a joke, Your Majesty's will was also said, it was a matter of confidentiality, and a slave was an errand runner, how could he do such a disobedient thing as peeping at state secrets." ”

The prince lowered his eyelids in disappointment, "It's the palace that is excited for a while, and I hope that my father-in-law will not take it to heart." ”

Zhao Gonggong said humbly, "There is a little bit of a bad thing about the minions, that is, after running a lot of roads, they usually don't remember things very much. ”

This is a hint that he is tired of traveling, and the prince should arrange for them to go down and rest.

In addition, it is also a favor for the prince, because he is tired and his head does not remember, so the prince lost his temper or something, and he forgot it when he slept or something.

The prince glanced at Gonggong Zhao thoughtfully, then waved his hand and asked people to arrange for a few of them to go down to rest.

However, after Zhao Gonggong and the others left. The crown prince returned to his previous independent palace and immediately sat down in a gloomy manner.

"It's over, it's over, what now? It's really an urgent secret recall to Beijing.,It's a dead end for the palace to go back now.,It's a dead end if you don't go back.,What should you do about the palace? ”

Jin Shui, a staff member of the Prince's Mansion who returned to this independent palace with him, looked so flustered and helpless at the moment, and his heart first felt a little disdainful. He thought silently for a while before he said slowly, "Today's plan can only be delayed for the time being." ”

"Drag?" The pseudo-prince jumped up in anger almost immediately, "Don't you have a secret order? A few words no? Hurry up and secretly return to Beijing! ”

"Can it be delayed for one night, and it can be delayed for three or five days without going back?" Even if it really drags on, I'm afraid that it won't take a few hours to arouse the suspicion of the person in the capital.

"Your Highness is sick, so it's not appropriate to travel for the time being, why not?" Jin Shui squinted, his expression was very calm and composed, "Besides, this is just a secret decree." ”

The prince was stunned, "What does Mr. Jin mean by this?" ”

"Father-in-law Zhao and they have already seen me just now, am I sick and they came?"

Speaking of this, he stood up irritably again, "It's all you, you didn't let me go to see them just now." ”

Jin Shui's brows furrowed extremely quickly, and he felt even more disdain for this imposter in his heart.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, they won't say anything for the time being."

The prince couldn't turn around, he was only stunned, "What can you do to say it quickly?" ”

"First, first send someone to send him the news that His Majesty has secretly summoned His Highness back to Beijing." Jin Shui was left in the Imperial Tomb to assist this impostor, so he was naturally a safe, reliable and capable person. I saw that he groaned slightly, and arranged it in an orderly manner.

"Second, before he has no news back, Your Highness, you are temporarily ill."

"So I'm going to be sick all the time?"

Jin Shui nodded, and continued, "Third, before His Highness leaves for Beijing, those fathers-in-law also have to stay here temporarily. ”

The prince who was about to sit down next to half of his ass just now bounced up in shock, "You are crazy, the other one is a eunuch, but they are people sent by the emperor, how can we detain them privately?" ”

If it is found out by then, even one more head on his neck will not be enough to cut off.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret it deeply. Why did he covet those few taels of silver, so he came here with them in a daze?

I thought it was just a matter of pretending to show my face, and there was still good food and drink and silver to take ...... every day.

He should have figured out early when this pie-in-the-sky good thing would get his turn. Even if there is a pie, it will probably become a trap if it hits him on the head.

When the pseudo-prince was full of remorse, Jin Shui ignored him and directly gave a few orders in a low voice.

Since the father-in-law came all the way quickly, they had to drink some wine in order to drive away the fatigue. Therefore, it is also human nature to drink higher and sleep longer.

If the trip is delayed because of this, it is even more reasonable.

Since the crown prince was already ill before the arrival of several fathers-in-law, it was normal for him to not be able to leave for Beijing immediately according to his wishes.

Everything was arranged, and Jin Shui could only wait for the prince's reply in panic.

It's a pity that no matter how capable Jin Shui is, he is just a staff member. His vision and insight determine that his way of dealing with it has limitations.

The people in the imperial mausoleum didn't know that among the few people of Zhao Gonggong, there were also the emperor's highest-level hidden guards.

The only purpose of that person infiltrating the imperial tomb was to confirm the identity of the crown prince.

A person, the face can be similar. But temperament, details of behavior, and education and knowledge, etc., these subtle things cannot be learned by others. Even if you imitate, you may imitate a general idea in a short period of time, and it's okay to fool unfamiliar people, but once you are in front of familiar people, I'm afraid that the more you imitate, the more flaws will be exposed.

I also know that since the dark dragon guard mixed in the inner servant is specially there to identify the real and false princes, how can it be that he didn't do a lot of work in detail beforehand.

After realizing that the person in the imperial tomb was a fake prince, the news was sent out as soon as possible.

Therefore, the next Jin Shui arranged for them to get drunk and sleep to drag out the time, which was completely a superfluous struggle.

The news was transmitted back to the capital and reached Emperor Chu, and Emperor Chu's grim face almost immediately seemed to be covered with dark clouds. The low, oppressive, powerful and dull momentum almost suffocated everyone.

If it weren't for being named, everyone would subconsciously retreat from Emperor Chu, and no one would want to come to the front to be cannon fodder at this time.

Fortunately, Emperor Chu was in the imperial study when he received the news, and there were no other ministers except for a few important ministers.

Emperor Chu's fierce typhoon swept by, and these important ministers felt that they were very innocent, in addition to being frightened.

"You guys, all retreat."

Emperor Chu was furious, but before the matter was dealt with, he could still suppress it well, and did not do anything to anger the few important ministers in front of him.

"The ministers are leaving."

A group of important ministers immediately rushed to give salutes, and then fled and exited the imperial study.

However, when the heavy door closed again, Emperor Chu shrank himself into the shadows, and his body and mind instantly showed a kind of helpless fatigue.

"Brotherhood and cannibalism between father and son are really inevitable." He sat down behind the imperial case and muttered in a distracted voice, "It can be seen that this golden dragon chair, no matter when, its allure will not diminish." ”

But the crown prince, the son he cultivated as a prince since he was a child, really took this step, which made him both sad and angry.

Of course, he was not surprised by this.

Before confirming today's news, he was not sure that he had to scrap the reserve and establish it again. Even, he thought that as long as most of the power of the queen's mother family was uprooted, in the future, after a hundred years, he could also hand over Nanchu to the prince.

After all, the education that this son has received since he was a child is obviously more comprehensive than that of other princes. And this son, in terms of qualifications, is no worse than others.

The only thing he didn't like was the strong woman and the powerful mother behind this son.

Nanchu is the world of his Chu family, how can he allow others to get involved.

However, today's news made him completely determined.

"Anyway, there are so many sons of mine, and there is not only one who has the ability to govern the country." He just scrapped that one.
