The morning class of the academy has ended, and when it is time for lunch, most of the students go to the canteen together in pairs, and after a while, all the people in the house are gone, leaving only Mu Jinming behind.

Everyone knows that Mu Jinming is extremely unsociable in the academy, so no one will come forward to ask for a meal together after class, and it is not that there is no hot face sticking to a cold butt, those who want to climb or approach with bad intentions, no one dares to come forward to ask for fun after touching a few soft nails on Mu Jinming's body.

Mu Jinming's daily consumption is transferred from the palace, and he eats by himself, and the place where he lives is a separate courtyard away from the residences of other students, and there is an independent small kitchen for use.

Usually after class, Mu Jinming goes back to the small courtyard directly, and rarely goes out, on the one hand, because there are too many flies around him that are not conducive to action, and on the other hand, it is to confuse those behind the monitors to reduce his sense of threat.

"Master, secret letter." The attendant presented a finger-length roll of wax paper.

Mu Jinming took it and took a look, frowning slightly, "The snake is out of the hole, it seems that it needs to cooperate." ”

"Pay more attention these days, it seems that the idle days are really not something that can be enjoyed for a long time." Someone hits the idea on themselves, although it is a headache, but they still need to act on the opportunity to achieve the desired effect.

"Yes." With the waiter's voice, seeing that the master had no orders, he retreated.

No matter what means the Chen family behind the assassination will use, what Mu Jinming has to do is to use himself as bait to catch the big fish of the Chen family, and the one who benefited from it, his second emperor brother Mu Rong.

Since his father had planned to advance the plan, no matter what the reason, Mu Jinming not only had to play a good role in the plan, but also get as much as possible what was beneficial to him, or it could also be said that the other party had murdered him.

If the enemy does not eradicate the root cause in one fell swoop, it will be like a weed, and the spring breeze will blow and grow again, and the situation will be very unfavorable to Mu Jinming at that time.

Mu Jinming already had a rough plan in his heart, just waiting for those idiots to come to the door, so as to take this opportunity to explore the movements of the forces behind the flies, knowing himself and knowing the other is crucial.

Mu Jinming's life is still the same, of course, this is only what can be seen on the surface, and the undercurrent hidden in the shadows can swallow people in one bite at some point.

Chen Yanzhi thought about it for several days and didn't come up with a foolproof plan, plus the three princes rarely went out of the academy, so it was even more unfavorable for them to start, and they couldn't do it in the academy, so even if they succeeded, they would attract the attention of the people above, so that they would order someone to investigate thoroughly, and it would be difficult to control the situation at that time.

There must be a way to assassinate, like what kind of poisoning and the like, Chen Yanzhi thinks it is best to use poison, first, the effect is fast, and second, there is no need to spend a lot of money to hire a killer, or send his own henchmen, these two types of people are not the best candidates, the killer may not inadvertently reveal a little bit of the inside story one day, enough to eat and walk around. And his own henchmen can make people get to the bottom of it and implicate unnecessary people. Poisoning is the fastest and most secure way, as long as you buy off a few lowly people, you can complete it, as long as the poisoner dies, the whole thing will be dead without proof, and it is also difficult to find out the clues, and if it doesn't work, you can push out a few political enemies as scapegoats, and you can also solve the matter.

The problem is how to deal with this poison, there must be a favorable time and place, and it can't make people feel that it is too deliberate, and everything must be logical, and it must also be considered how to deal with it once a person dies, and how to cover up and destroy the evidence is the key, so that none of the details that should be considered can be missing, which makes Chen Yanzhi's assassination plan impossible to carry out immediately.

There is also the meaning of Concubine Chen in the palace, this matter can't let the second prince get a little rumor, and he has to hide it, and he can't say it until the matter is over, which increases the difficulty and makes Chen Yanzhi's eyes red. He didn't understand why his daughter didn't let him sue the second prince, this matter was a favorable thing from any point of view, if the second prince could participate in it, even if it was just hidden in the shadows, it would be better to solve a lot of problems, it was better than being locked in the study by himself and trying to find a way.

The assassination incident is a matter of importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better, and the more people there are, there will be unexpected mistakes, and the number of people will also control the risk of revealing the news, and at the same time, it will not attract the vigilance of others, so Chen Yanzhi didn't even tell his sister-in-law, and he didn't think about letting his son-in-law participate in it.

Chen Yanzhi was thinking about the first two big ones at home, and the people who were monitoring the palace had already begun to do it, first disposing of the spies that Concubine Chen had planted in the palaces little by little, so that they would never have a chance to pass on the news, and they lost their henchmen and eyes, so they could only sit and lie down like ants on a hot pot, of course, there will always be a very reasonable and undoubted excuse for the disappearance of these people. The most important point is how to use the allusion of borrowing a knife to kill, the most important thing in the palace is fighting, and it is not the minions around the master who are implicated.

When Concubine Chen suddenly found that the number of people placed in various places in the palace had unconsciously decreased, she felt very puzzled. After sending someone to listen to the news, she learned that those people were convicted for various reasons and were disposed of, and the focus of her previous attention shifted to this matter for a while, she didn't think it was an accident, someone must have done it deliberately, otherwise how could it happen one after another, and she didn't have any news here.

The people placed everywhere are the old people in the palace, and they have always been very discerning in doing things, and they will not offend people for no reason and be hacked, so some people are deliberately making ghosts and want to cut off their arms in the palace.

Concubine Chen already had a rough estimate in her heart, thinking that there was someone in the palace who was going to be unfavorable to her, and this person didn't have to think about it to know who it was, and who else could compete with her in the palace besides Concubine Yuan.

Concubine Chen has already decided in her heart that the lack of manpower is planned by Yuan Guifei, as for the implementer, it may not be Yuan Guifei herself, and some of the battles in ** want to step on other people's shoulders to climb up, but unfortunately those people should not move their thoughts to her.

"Niangniang, the news that the slave maid heard is indeed the same as the one she came to report." Layue replied softly: "On the surface, it is indeed an unnecessary mistake that was disposed of, but in the process of disposal, there were several palace maidens who instructed it, which led to the death of zhì people." ”

"This is the best thing to know." Concubine Chen raised her hand to stop Layue's words and said: "Those concubines in the palace are going to be restless again, and they dare to rely on the side of Concubine Yuan to attack the people in the West Palace, it is really bold, then don't blame the palace for not thinking about the sisters." ”

"Niangniang, I'm afraid I have to be prepared at this time." Layue reminded Concubine Chen, "If the matter is big, it is difficult for the emperor to explain it." ”

Concubine Chen is not a brainless person, indeed, as Layue said, she has done too much, lest she not get the results she deserves, but will be beaten upside down and sued to the emperor.

"Keep an eye on it, there's always a chance." Concubine Chen didn't care about waiting a little longer.

"Don't worry, mother." Layue has a spectrum in her heart.

If something happens in the palace, it can't be hidden, the eyeliner of each palace is not good-looking, and it is difficult to say how many people are really involved.

Yuan Guifei was identified as the main messenger by Concubine Chen, in fact, Yuan Guifei did not intervene in it, she only guessed something after the incident appeared, and she did not expect to be misunderstood by Concubine Chen.

It is no wonder that Concubine Yuan, as the head of all the concubines, has the eldest prince by her side, and the only one who can be compared with it is Concubine Chen, and other concubines rarely give birth to an heir, even if they climb to a high position, how useful can they be.

Yuan Guifei can be in a high position, and it is not unsuccessful in her heart, no matter what kind of unexpected things happen, she must first put herself out of danger so as not to displease the superiors.

It is unrealistic for Concubine Chen to take care of both the affairs inside and outside the palace, the affairs in the palace are the first priority, and the three princes have to hand it over to their father.

Although Concubine Yuan didn't intervene in the previous matter, she will no longer stand by and watch the things after this, and she can just take this opportunity to weaken Concubine Chen's power in the palace and fight for some benefits for herself and the eldest prince.

Regardless of whether she is the person who pushes the boat down the river or not, Yuan Guifei is not stupid, she has already thought about how Concubine Chen will judge right and wrong, the truth of the facts is not so important, what she values is something more beneficial, if the emperor can be dissatisfied with what Concubine Chen did, then whether Concubine Chen is punished in the end will consume Concubine Chen's power.

And this game has just kicked off, what Mu Haoyu wants is the situation of the two tigers fighting, the battle between the Zhongyuan clan and the Chen clan is on the surface another drama of the concubines competing for favor, and from the side it shows the struggle between the two families outside the palace, whether it is the throne or power, the two parties must be injured, this is the real murder with a knife.

**The battle Mu Haoyu can't turn a blind eye completely, for fear that someone with a heart will see the trick, so it is particularly important to give appropriate warnings.

Concubine Chen gritted her teeth and glared at Concubine Yuan, who turned away, if it weren't for this slut, how could she be punished for copying Buddhist scriptures to meditate now. No matter how unwilling she is, it is impossible to disobey the holy order, not to mention that the loss this time is not small, which makes her feel painful.

"Mother, that's it for this time?" Tao Qian, the palace maid who followed Concubine Yuan, had a lot of doubts in her heart.

"Even if the emperor is angry again, he will not want to see the balance of ** broken." Concubine Yuan Guifei said in a complicated mood: "Besides, everything looks like a sesame mung bean, but it has a close relationship with the previous dynasty, and it will affect its whole body, so we have to weigh how to deal with Concubine Chen." ”

For the emperor to punish Concubine Chen for copying the ten-day Buddhist scriptures and not to make a move to join the palace for half a step, it is already the best result, and Concubine Yuan knows the stakes very well in her heart, and she will not do anything out of bounds.

"The slave forgot." Tao Qian suddenly realized that his mother and Concubine Chen both had princes, and the battle between the eldest prince and the second prince in the court has been quite eye-catching, and the emperor's move has its reason.

"How many of Concubine Chen's deaths did you know when she shot this time?" Yuan Guifei asked about the eyeliner that Concubine Chen had placed on her side.

"There are six of them, all of them are old people in the palace." Concubine Chen really didn't get a little good this time, so much so that she lost nearly half of her manpower, Tao Qian's heart was filled with a sense of listlessness and desolation, and they all said that the slave was willing to be a cow and a horse for the master, but who has no grudge in his heart, there is only one human life, who is really willing to let you die. The life of a minion is really worthless.

"Concubine Chen has damaged her vitality this time, and she will not move again, as for the concubines who were executed, it can only be said that they overestimated themselves too much, thinking that they could really become a master in one fell swoop, and when they stepped on other people's corpses and climbed up, they didn't think that climbing up would be the result they wanted." Yuan Guifei didn't have much pity for the dead concubine, and there was a little more ridicule in her words.

"Those people don't think they can benefit from it, how could they think that it would be such a result, and it is really stupid to implicate the family behind them in a moment of confusion." Tao Qian has long been accustomed to this, and there is no shortage of two kinds of people in the palace, one is the living and the other is the dead.

The matter of Concubine Chen reached the ears of the second prince Mu Rong and the Chen Mansion under the instruction of Mu Haoyu, in order to make them think that the Yuan Mansion and the eldest prince behind it began to weaken the power of the second prince and his faction little by little, and if the Chen family really fell, then the second prince still had something to rely on.

Although Mu Zhao, the eldest prince who learned the news early in the morning, didn't understand why the concubine suddenly attacked Concubine Chen without reminding herself, the final result was definitely a qiē, no matter what, it was his own benefit, and he didn't have to care too much.

As for the second prince Mu Rong who heard the news, his brows never stretched, he once suspected that his mother couldn't hold his breath, or was instigated by some people to cause the current situation, but unfortunately no amount of speculation can make up for the loss of losses, not to mention that the request to enter the palace to see his mother was rejected.

Mu Rong was extremely uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen, but he didn't know, he couldn't think of a clue, so he hurriedly went to Chen's Mansion to discuss countermeasures with Chenyan.

Chen Yanzhi introduced the second prince into the study, ordered his henchmen to offer refreshments and told him to step down, and the two talked about business.

In Chen's view, things in the palace are strange, and you don't have to think that someone is doing something wrong.

"Yuan Guifei's country came to strike first, and we were caught off guard, it seems that the eldest prince can't bear it anymore." Chen Yanzhi thought so.

"You can't let the boss get complacent." Mu Rong desperately wanted to win back a game to curb the behavior of the eldest prince.

Chen Yanzhi thought about it for a long time, and the concubine Chen in the palace was afraid that she had more than enough heart but not enough strength, and the palace could not start, so she could only start from somewhere else.

After thinking about it again, Chen Yanzhi suddenly had an idea: "By the way, you can set up a blame." "Originally, I was supposed to answer my daughter and not tell the second prince, but things have changed, and I can't care so much.

"Tell me about it." Mu Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yanzhi.

"The Three Princes." Chen Yanzhi spoke: "The third prince is a good chess piece. ”

"Oh, do you want to get rid of the third child and blame the boss?" Mu Rong is not stupid, Chen Yan understood when he mentioned it.

"Yes, the prince's life is no better than others, although the emperor doesn't pay attention to the three princes, he can't really bear to see the three princes killed for no reason, and it was planned by the eldest prince." After that, it doesn't need to be said too much.

Although Mu Rong had some doubts, he couldn't come up with a better way, "How many layers of certainty?" "Once things are decided, they have to be foolproof.

"Six floors, that's enough." Chen Yanzhi is not good at talking too much.

Mu Rong asked like this just to comfort himself, it is better to have success than nothing.

Mu Rong nodded in agreement, the big stone in Chen Yanzhi's heart can finally be put down, it is better to say it than to hide it, and there is no need to worry about it all day long.

The eldest prince is now busy uprooting the officials under the second prince, and there can be one less one, so as to make room for his own people.

The eldest prince's action was not unpleasant, and after the second prince got the exact news, the eldest prince had already submitted the evidence of several local officials.

Although the positions of those local officials were nothing to the second prince, they were suddenly stabbed in the back, and no one could swallow this breath.

Several local officials who were involved were escorted back to Beijing on charges of perverting the law for bribes, and the two princes and their faction stood up to intercede, which was nothing more than saying that someone had framed them, and implored the emperor to be aware of the situation.

Mu Haoyu sat upright, looking at the officials of the two factions below who were blushing and having thick necks, the two factions had been suppressing each other for some time, and now this is an appetizer, I want to test how deep the water is.

Mu Haoyu was very face-saving and agreed to the matter submitted by the eldest prince, "When people are escorted back to Beijing, the matter will be handed over to the eldest prince for trial, and the second prince will serve as a supervisor and judge for me to take a good look at how the officials under me work for me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials of the eldest prince's faction were happy, and the second prince stood there and gritted his teeth secretly, but he couldn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, and knelt down with the eldest prince to listen to the holy order.

The eldest prince got the sweetness, and when he saw that the second prince couldn't open his mouth now, his heart was really happy.

After that, the prisoner was escorted to Beijing, and it took three days of hard work to try it, and finally the confession was handed over to the emperor to make a final decision.

At this time, the eldest prince had a smug look on his face, and he dazzled the eyes of the second prince, secretly hated these pig brains, dragged his own hind legs, not to mention let the eldest prince take his own handle, fortunately, this matter is not deeply involved with himself, otherwise he would have to be charged with a crime of not being strict and not knowing people.

The eldest prince saw the gloomy face of the second prince with his own eyes, and the smile on the corner of his lips never diminished, and even his walking was a little casual.
