Chapter 117: Returning the Favor

In the capital, the biggest news now is naturally that the two, three, four and three princes have left the palace one after another. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When the prince reaches the age of fifteen, he usually leaves the palace and lives in a separate prince's palace.

The five princes of Emperor Yuan, the age is not much different, and I don't know how Qin Tianjian calculated, but the opening date of the three princes was set very close, the second prince Chu Zhaohui was at the end of September, the third prince Chu Zhaoye was the first day of October, and the fourth prince Chu Zhaoyu was the third day of October.

The younger brothers at the bottom have all left the palace, and the crown prince Chu Zhaoheng naturally has to live in the East Palace.

A group of imperial historians from the Imperial History Observatory played one after another, asking the prince to live in the East Palace as soon as possible. This said that the prince still lives in the inner palace when he is an adult, which is not in line with the etiquette system. The reason who said that the prince who built the mansion and the prince has not yet lived in the East Palace.

Emperor Yuan played on the right and asked people to rush to repair the East Palace.

Therefore, the officials are busy with three things during these days: congratulations, gifts, and visits.

Cars and horses came and went, crowding the streets where the three princes' mansions were located.

By the way, the relatives of the Yan family and the Lin family were also visited. After all, if you get acquainted with them, won't you have a relationship with the princes?

The Lin Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, reappeared the grand occasion of endless visitors in the past. Lin Wenyu, the secretary of the military department, no longer claims to be sick from time to time.

The Yan family's visitors are gradually decreasing.

First of all, Yan Mingde didn't have much contact with civil officials. Secondly, just a few visitors came to the door, and Yan Mingde looked ignorant: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved into the East Palace, what are you doing to congratulate me?

Those who wanted to go through the Yan family's door were not allowed to enter, so they had to die first and wait to see how others behaved.

The liveliness of the capital made Emperor Yuan rarely smile for a few days, no matter what, it is always a good thing for his son to become an adult.

It's a pity that this smiling face didn't hang for long, and it was lost by the song and battle report flying from Nanzhou.

The three letters from Nanzhou were written by Chu Mo, the prince of Zhennan, Qin Shaozu, the governor of Nanzhou, and Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, but the content of the writing was the same thing: Nan'anhou Mansion discovered the secret agent of Nanzhao.

Along with the folds, there are also secret letters and other items found on the agent's body.

The three of them also had a tacit understanding about Yan Lie, Yan Ning's invasion of the Hou Mansion, and they passed it over.

Emperor Yuan picked up the battle report and put it down, after all, Chu Mo had already led the troops to the battle, and the grain and grass were already in place, so he only had to wait for the follow-up.

Those few folds, but Emperor Yuan watched them over and over again as if he were looking at a rare thing.

Until Kang Bao, the head of the Imperial Palace, walked in, "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several His Highnesses are outside, and a few Lord Shangshu are here, waiting to be summoned." ”

Emperor Yuan put down the fold, "Let them in." ”

Chu Zhaoheng walked into the Qinzheng Pavilion with his three younger brothers, and Lin Wenyu and several other scholars followed in.

Emperor Yuan threw over three parts: "You all take a look." ”

Chu Zhaoheng took the fold, and after reading it, he handed it to the others.

Chu Zhaoyu's face changed greatly after seeing it, and he stepped forward and said: "Father, this is impossible, my grandfather's family has been loyal and good for generations, why do you want to collude with Nanzhao?" Someone must have framed it. ”

"Fourth brother, are you saying that someone wants to frame Nan Anhou?" Chu Zhaohui asked angrily, "Who wants to frame?" Why did you frame him? ”

Chu Zhaoyu was speechless, Nan Anhou has no real power or strength, and no one really looks down on him to frame him.

He saw his intuition and felt that Qin Shaozu must be suspicious, Nan Anhou wanted to kill Yan Ning, would Qin Shaozu help his niece avenge? However, he could not say this reason.

Emperor Yuan was silent, only looking at Chu Zhaoyu. At the beginning, the imperial court would let Nan'an Hou stay in Nanzhou, because he wanted to contain Zhennan Wangfu, but unfortunately, the descendants of Nan'an Hou are not as good as one generation after another, and now, there is only one left to scare the common people with the name of Houfu.

Did Nan Anhou really collude with Nan Zhao? In the recitals of Chen Shilang and Chu Mo, it is mentioned that in the secret compartment of the Hou Mansion's study, there are account books smuggled by the Hou Mansion at the border over the years. Who can the Hou Mansion give money to?

Emperors are always suspicious, and Emperor Yuan is no exception, "Prince, what do you think?" ”

"Father, my son feels that this matter needs to be investigated carefully."

This is tantamount to nonsense. Emperor Yuan was a little dissatisfied, "Then who do you think is better to visit?" ”

"A few days ago, the second brother and the third brother both said that they wanted to practice, and Chen Shilang also happened to be in Nanzhou, and Erchen felt that as long as he had nothing to do with Nan'anhou, he could take on this role."

Chu Zhaohui and Chu Zhaoye naturally didn't want to leave the capital now, and Chu Zhaoyu didn't want his imperial brother to investigate the matter.

In this kind of matter, several Shangshu lords also seconded it.

Chu Zhaoheng stopped talking, and his move could be regarded as reciprocation. In Chen Shilang's recital, the matter of the Yan family's brothers and sisters making trouble in the Hou Mansion was just an understatement, since he showed favor to the Yan family, why didn't he give him a chance?

Chen Shilang went to Nanzhou to meet the Nanzhao envoys, and this errand was gone. worked hard to go to the south and let him investigate the case of Nan Anhou nearby, so that he would not return in vain.

Emperor Yuan asked everyone to discuss a few more political matters before they let everyone retreat.

After Chu Zhaoye walked out of the Qinzheng Pavilion, he said to Chu Zhaoheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, my younger brother heard that when the secret agents of the Nan'an Hou Mansion were first discovered, it was Yan Lie and Yan Ning. ”

"The third brother is really well-informed, I still knew about the Nan'an Hou Mansion from my father just now." Chu Zhaoheng did not accept the offer.

Chu Zhaoye didn't say anything more, and after bowing, he turned around and left.

Li Gui became the head of the house, and was waiting for his master outside at this time. Seeing the third prince coming, he stepped forward and whispered, "Master, the news from the house just now said that there is no news from Wang Fushun." ”

"I'll talk about it later." Chu Zhaoye's face remained unchanged, he returned to the mansion and sat down in the inner study before asking, "When did Wang Fushun have no news?" ”

After Wang Fushun left the Hou Mansion, he also sent a letter saying that Yan Lie and Yan Ning rushed into the Hou Mansion of Nan'an, and that he had left the Hou Mansion and would return to Beijing immediately. Then, there was no more news. ”

This is not good news.

Chu Zhaoye tapped his fingers on the desk and thought for a moment, "Replace all those who have contact with Wang Fushun." ”

Li Gui was stunned, Chu Zhaoye didn't have many people in Nanzhou, almost all of them had contact with Wang Fushun, this should be replaced, isn't it just to cut off contact?

"Don't be reluctant, in case Wang Fushun recruits him, my father doesn't like our hands to stretch too long." Chu Zhaoye was in a rare mood to explain.

"Yes, the minion understands, so let's do it." Li Gui was no longer lazy, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Chu Zhaoye sat in the study and thought slowly, he believed that this time of the Nan'an Hou Mansion must have been caused by Yan Ning. Chu Zhaoyu, that idiot, may still be there to doubt Qin Shaozu. He didn't understand at all, Qin Shaozu had always been timid and cautious, and he didn't dare to do this kind of thing that looked like there were loopholes.

Yan Ning has not been in Nanzhou for a long time, if Qin Shaozu has Nanzhao secret agents in his hands, he will definitely report to the imperial court, and someone is quietly helping Yan Ning?

Chu Zhaoye thought about the people of Nanzhou, and only Chu Mo, the son of the king of Zhennan, had this strength.

Chu Mo helps Yan Ning, so it is equivalent to helping the prince? (To be continued.) )
