Song Yingke put on a shawl and walked out of the room and walked to the inner room of the west hall.

After seeing the letter clearly in the dim light, Song Yingzhao was shocked.

The man had his head down, and he couldn't see him in the dim candlelight.

Song Yingzhao stood up abruptly and said angrily: "This matter must not be done. ”

The letter in his hand turned out to be that the prime minister wanted him to rebel, and the soldiers prepared by the prime minister for him had been ambushed in the back mountain of the palace, less than three miles away from the prince's bedroom.

The person who delivered the letter looked up at Song Yingzhao and said, "Think twice, the prince has ordered the dethronement, and if you don't do it now, this country will eventually fall into the hands of others." When the time comes, you, as the former prince, can imagine the suffering. ”

Song Yingke staggered back, shook her head and said, "No, if you want me to murder my father, I will never do this kind of rebellion." You go down, even if this country is really given to someone else in the end, it is I willing to let it out. ”

Who doesn't want this, but if he wants to do this, he will kill his father with his own hands, he will never do this.

The man lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and after a moment, he smiled on his face, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is not up to you." The prime minister has already ordered someone to go to the imperial study, and at this moment, the poisonous supper is afraid that it has been sent to the imperial study. This is a great opportunity for the crown prince, at this time there is a lack of troops in Kyoto, if you lead the troops to occupy the palace, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the overall situation has been decided, and it will not harm you for a hundred miles. ”

Song Yingke's eyes moved slightly, and she frowned a little movingly.

"You have some point. But I still can't do such a rebellious thing. Go down, I'm going to save my father now. ”

No matter what his father does to him, it is his father after all. For him, his safety is paramount.

The man suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "The prince must not, at this moment, the army outside the palace is only afraid that it has already invaded the imperial city, and it is all under your banner, if you go to see the saint at this moment, I am afraid that you will be arrested immediately." When the time comes, I won't be able to wash it off if I jump into the Yellow River. ”

Song Yingke stumbled back to her seat, her face turned pale in an instant, and she looked a little older.

Now he is ready to shoot.

But when Song Yingke just walked out. Seeing the five princes leading the army surging towards him, he was so frightened that he hid back, Song Yingjia looked at it coldly, and said, "Take down this person who tried to kill the king and rebel against me!" ”

Song Yingjia said coldly. There is not a single trace of temperature.

Song Yingke then understood. I fell for it.

And at this time, someone suddenly walked up to Song Yingjia and said a few words, Song Yingjia stared at Song Yingke for a long time, her expression was condensed, and said, "Pull this traitor down to me and put him in prison." ”

Song Yingke shouted loudly and said, "This palace will leave by itself." ”

He walked closer to Song Yingzhao and sneered loudly: "The fifth brother is really good at catching thieves, you want to murder your father yourself." If you calculate it on my head, you will have retribution. ”

Song Yingjia listened. Frowning, the sword glowing with cold light pointed at Song Yingke, and said, "Take him down for me, and the rest of the people will follow me into the palace to rescue him!" ”

Emperor Mingde was already furious at this moment, because of the supper sent by the palace people, he had no appetite today, so he casually rewarded the palace people around him, who expected that the person would die of poison in an instant after drinking.

At this moment, news came from outside, saying that the prince led an army to kill and try to seek power and usurp the throne.

Emperor Mingde is extremely angry.

At this moment, there was good news again, saying that the five princes had led the people to take down the crown prince Song Yingke, and they had arrived outside the palace at this moment.

Song Yingjia knelt on one knee, took off her helmet, and said, "My son was late for drunk driving, which frightened my father, and I asked my father to condemn him." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at a worker who had fallen to the ground, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Mingde narrowed his eyes and said, "Jia'er has a meritorious role in saving the driver, so what is the crime?" ”

After Song Yingjia stood up, Emperor Mingde smiled and said, "He is really my son, and he looks like me when he wears armor." ”

"Thank you for the praise of my emperor, it's just that my son has a request, and I hope my father will fulfill it."

Emperor Mingde stroked his beard, looked at Song Yingjia with a smile, and said, "If Jia'er has any requests, just say it." ”

Song Yingjia knelt on the ground and said, "Father, the son and the prince and brother have grown up together since childhood, and the royal brother is pure and good-natured, and he is definitely not a person who can do such a stupid thing. This time, someone must have framed him, and I hope that my father will open up and be able to forgive the imperial brother this time. ”

Emperor Mingde looked down at Song Yingjia, who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, and sneered: "You have a heart, but I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more." I really didn't expect that the child I brought up would end up killing me. ”

Song Yingjia looked at Emperor Mingde with a calm expression, but her voice was a little anxious, and said, "What does my father plan to do with the imperial brother?" ”

Emperor Mingde squinted at the outside of the hall, and the courtyard at this moment was hazy in the moonlight, dyed with a bit of tranquility, and it also covered up the bloody rain just now, as if nothing had happened.

"You just said that he was deceived by a traitor, do you know who it is?"

Emperor Mingde glanced at Song Yingjia meaningfully, and the obscure look in his eyes made people a little unpredictable.

Song Yingjia stood up and said, "Father, the son and son found such a letter in the imperial brother's bedroom, and the person who wrote the letter was Prime Minister Pan Cheng. Although Prime Minister Pan Cheng was not among them in this invasion of the palace, Erchen heard that this precise deployment was all so-called by Prime Minister Pan Cheng. Erchen thought that the imperial brother must have been bewitched by this person, so he had murderous intentions towards his father, the emperor. From beginning to end, the royal brother was innocent. ”

Emperor Mingde was furious and said, "If he is innocent, then what do I have?" You don't have to intercede for him, and I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Song Yingjia led the order to retreat.

Three days later, Emperor Mingde announced his deposition, but the matter of the new crown prince has not been decided.

Nian was assisted by Prime Minister Pan Cheng and was a founding father, Emperor Mingde was not sentenced to death. Instead, he was exiled to Saiwai and was never allowed to return to Kyoto for the rest of his life.

As for Song Yingke, Emperor Mingde demoted him to the title of King Tan. ordered him to go to the wilderness of the southwest, but he was not allowed to return to Beijing without the emperor's order.

After all, the power of the prince's party in the court was removed, and all that remained in the court was Empress Zheng and Song Yingjia.

Seeing that Emperor Mingde was unwilling to set up another crown prince for a long time, they were all a little impatient.

Someone played and said, "Your Majesty, since this old prince has become a thing of the past, the emperor should order a new prince." Solve problems for the emperor. Among the young princes at present, only the five princes have been to the military camp for training over the years, and Wen Taowu is unmatched. In the first few days, he was able to save the car. I also ask the emperor to appoint five princes as the princes of my Great Jin. ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, all the ministers knelt on the ground and said, "Please also ask the emperor to appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince." ”

Emperor Mingde was forced to agree to the next time he went to court. The fifth prince, Song Yingjia, was appointed as the crown prince.

But it was the time of the next dynasty. Immediately summoned Mu Zongsheng to the imperial study.

Emperor Mingde sent Mu Zongsheng to sit down, and said with an anxious expression: "What does Aiqing think about this matter?" Among these many princes, although I am the most satisfied, and the one who is most similar to me, is the fifth child. But at the same time, I am afraid of the strength of the Zheng family. Although he demoted Zheng Nuo to the southwest five years ago, and now he is considered to be safe, there is always a big stone in my heart that cannot land. I always feel that things are not as calm as they seem on the surface. ”

Mu Zongsheng stood up and said, "The emperor trusts Weichen so much. Wechen is honored. In Yichen's opinion, since the emperor has promised to appoint another crown prince in three days, he can only act like this. It's just that in the future, the power of the five princes will be suppressed, and they will implant their own strength in the imperial court. Next year's imperial examination is imminent, and the emperor can promote more newcomers as his henchmen at that time, so as to suppress the strength of the Zheng family. ”

Emperor Mingde was a little anxious, and said: "I'm not afraid that Jia'er will become the emperor, but I'm afraid that this country will fall into the hands of the Zheng family from now on." ”

He said worriedly, then sighed slightly.

Mu Zongsheng approached Emperor Mingde and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry about this, with the ability of the five princes, he will definitely be able to hold the country of the Great Jin." And the country of my Great Jin Dynasty will definitely last for ten thousand years. The most feared thing now is that it is the heavy soldiers in the hands of the Mu family. Moreover, Weichen once inquired about the strength of Prince Zheng, and it was true that even the guards at the gate of the courtyard were some family members who had never practiced martial arts. ”

Emperor Mingde changed his words sharply and said: "I heard that Mu Shangshu's beloved daughter and the son of Zheng Nuo have a marriage contract, which is really a happy event." ”

Emperor Mingde's tone was indifferent, and he said things that made Mu Zongsheng tremble, and finally really scared Mu Zongsheng.

He knelt on the ground abruptly and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't think much about it at the time, but he just felt that Li Shizi, whether it was his appearance or family background, was first-class, and Weichen thought that if he could entrust his little girl to Li Shizi, he would definitely live a stable life." The emperor, Weichen is loyal to the emperor, and there is no second heart. ”

Emperor Mingde showed his face and said with a smile: "Aiqing, please get up, I will laugh with you." Aiqing's loyalty to me, I see it in my eyes, how can I doubt you. Moreover, Zheng Li is really a hot-blooded man, different from his father, so Ling Ai will definitely be happy in the future if he marries him. ”

Mu Zongsheng knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the minister is panicked, and the minister is also confused for a while. The minister had long planned to ruin this family business, and the minister would deal with the matter when he returned. ”

After Mu Zongsheng walked out of the imperial study, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he snorted coldly.

Three days later, it was the day of the new crown prince, and Song Yingjia put on the prince's unique costume and accepted the canonization gift. Later, when he returned to the dormitory, he didn't seem so happy.

On the contrary, there is a lack of interest in this matter.

Ji Huan rushed back in the dust, and saw that Song Yingjia had become the prince, and his eyes sank and sank. approached, but smiled indifferently again, and said, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After Ji Huan saluted respectfully, he looked at Song Yingjia's face and said, "My subordinates don't look very good at His Royal Highness the Prince, but why are you unhappy?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really wise, and he can come up with a plan to blame others, so as to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone, and his subordinates are really admired. ”

Song Yingjia bowed slightly, stared at Ji Huan who was kneeling on one knee, her eyes were cold, and said: "This palace is not wise, but this palace knows very well that it has to trust those villains who are not trustworthy." Why, King Huan didn't bring the army that the king hid in Qizhou over? Or is it that the palace overestimates King Huan too much. ”

Ji Huan's face stiffened slightly, but for a moment he regained the uninhibited and indifferent nature of Shicai, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really overestimated his subordinates, and when he went to Qizhou, he only saw a desolation, and there was no land in that place, how could there be an army?" ”

Thinking of this, Ji Huan's teeth itched with hatred in his heart.

When he arrived in Qizhou, he didn't see anything, not even a single figure, and he didn't find any ghost army that Song Yingjia said.

Song Yingjia stood up and said, "King Huan's eyes are dazzling, the army of this palace is indeed in Qizhou, but the moment this palace sent King Huan to go, he changed his mind and let them arrive in Kyoto in advance." Otherwise, how could this king become the crown prince so quickly? ”

But thinking of this, Song Yingjia couldn't laugh anymore.

Even if his father reached this point, he was reluctant to canonize him as the crown prince.

It's really chilling.

Could it be that the father found something in the end, and what else was wrong with what he did?

He originally planned carefully, ordered someone to send poison to his father, and at the same time made people imitate Prime Minister Pan Cheng's handwriting and wrote a letter to Song Yingke, deceiving him that this was done for him to win the throne, and it was Pan Chengxiang who deployed it for him.

And the poisoning is even more killing three birds with one stone, first, it is difficult for Song Yingke to ride a tiger, second, if his father takes poison and dies, he will justifiably become the emperor, and third, if the poisoning is unsuccessful, he can also use this to frame Song Yingke, so that his father is completely chilled by Song Yingke, and he will also become the prince because of his meritorious rescue.

Song Yingjia thought that her plan was seamless, but when she thought of Emperor Mingde's concerns, there was an inexplicable anger in her heart.

Even if his father is like this, he is reluctant to make him the crown prince.

Thinking of this, the cold light in his eyes was even worse.

And the Mu family, when Mu Zhiling heard the news, her body was shocked.

In this life, why has there been such a big change in the palace? In his previous life, it was obvious that the prince died inexplicably, and Song Yingjia was also relegated to the southwest, but now it is very different.

Song Yingjia became the crown prince, but it was the prince who was demoted.

In her previous life, she had no intention of caring about these, and she didn't know why Song Yingjia was demoted to a fief. But when it comes to the forced palace in this life, I suddenly have some eyebrows in my heart.

I'm afraid that the prince is not the one who really forced the palace.

She didn't have a deep impression of Song Yingke, but she could also see that he was simple-minded and not scheming. And the prince's power in the court mainly depends on Prime Minister Pan Cheng, but Prime Minister Pan Cheng is a civil servant, does he really have such courage and strategy? On the contrary, it is the calm personality of the five princes that makes people have to be suspicious.

At this moment, a sudden bad news came from the frontier. (To be continued......)
