The emperor made three decrees in a row, let Ye Minshu out of the prison of the Criminal Department, transferred Ye Minyu to the Ministry of Officials, and locked up three unlucky officials who failed to pass the sycophancy.

Immediately in the officialdom, there was another gust of wind.

Ye Minyu heard the news in Zhao Wangfu and did not panic. In King Zhao's mansion, he also has a set of his own team, and he has also collected a lot of talented people for a while, so he called a few henchmen to the study to discuss.

and sent the men who served. Ye Minyu first asked Xu Mo, the chief historian of the palace, "What is going on with this will of my father?" Xu Mo was in charge of the intelligence information in the palace, and there were also sources in the palace, so he cleared his throat and told Ye Minyu what happened in the palace.

Someone wants to nominate him as the crown prince, Ye Minyu received the news from Xiao Zongchang yesterday, but he didn't expect that there were so many people on the fold, and he was hit like this for a while. Ye Minyu naturally understands the twists and turns in it. He sighed: "It's also the king's carelessness!" ”

The faces of several henchmen are not very good-looking. King Zhao not only didn't get any benefits this time, but was weakened a lot, the orthodox intention to suppress him is very obvious, as long as such a signal is issued, those old oilmen in the officialdom will naturally keep their distance from him.

Ye Minyu said calmly: "The matter has come to this, and now we only have two things to do." First, this matter is obviously planned by someone behind it, and now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light! Let's first find out the enemy behind it. This matter will be left to Xu Changshi to do, and it is necessary to find out the mastermind behind this in the shortest possible time! ”

Xu Mo said: "Obey the orders of the prince!" ”

Seeing that Ye Minyu was not depressed because of this setback, but was becoming more mature and calm, everyone couldn't help but cheer up for a while.

Ye Minyu nodded with satisfaction: "The second thing is to discuss it with everyone." After the election of the crown prince, my father is obviously suspicious of me, what should I do next? ”

Everyone's eyes went to see Zhao Hong, the master of Zhan Shi. Zhan Shi's master is only a petty official of the seventh grade, even in the Zhao Palace, it is extremely inconspicuous, but Ye Minyu trusts this Zhao Hong very much. Zhao Hong defected to Ye Minyu when he was in Jingxiang, and he was originally a tried and failed person. However, this person is resourceful and has a great view of the overall situation, Ye Minyu values his talent very much, and he also gave Ye Minyu a lot of good ideas, and slowly became the think tank of Zhao Wangfu.

The rest of the palace also had great respect and admiration for Zhao Hong.

Ye Minyu has always felt that Zhao Hong is better than Li Rui, the think-tank under Xiao Zongchang.

Zhao Hong saw that everyone was staring at him, and he was not pretentious, and said directly: "Your Highness." Now the situation is complicated and chaotic, we were unprepared before, and we were overshadowed, which caused the emperor to have a misunderstanding of His Royal Highness, which is of course very unfavorable to our side. It's just that things aren't so bad that they can't be cleaned up after all! ”

He spoke very slowly, but he had a convincing temperament, and everyone listened to it a little fascinated for a while. Ye Minyu nodded and encouraged him to continue. Zhao Hong said: "Now that the emperor is dying, His Royal Highness is different from the prince, he is the most wise and powerful, and he is deeply respected, even if the emperor appoints you as the prince, I am afraid that this suspicion will come soon!" Therefore, even if the emperor wants to make you the crown prince, you must not accept it! ”

Ye Minyu was stunned when she heard this. The prince fell, he always felt that this prince was the only one he could do, and he was also the one who did not give in, why did Zhao Hong persuade him not to fight?

Xu Mo couldn't help but interject: "According to what you said, it's not going in, it's not going back, is this prince just watching it, don't want it?" ”

Zhao Hong smiled: "No, no, no!" The Son of Heaven is the ninth highest, and only the virtuous live in it! The eldest prince is rebellious and disobedient, and now that he is in prison, there is naturally no need to mention him; The five princes are young and knowledgeable, and they have no contribution to the country; Regardless of the strength of the foreign family or the prestige in the court, it cannot be compared with the prince. And His Royal Highness is both civil and military at a young age, and has a high prestige in the court, among the people, and in Shilin. ”

Ye Minyu's eyes lit up, the so-called don't know the true face of Lushan, only because he is in this mountain! Zhao Hong couldn't be more right, since this prince is his own or not, why should he act so ugly and provoke his father's suspicion!

Zhao Hong said: "Next, Xiaguan asks you to do two things. First, in the name of being shallow in talent and learning, and not being able to take on great responsibilities, he resigned from the errand of the ministry; Second, please ask the emperor to pardon the crown prince's capital crime! ”

Ye Minyu frowned and said: "The first thing this king understands, I don't have to do this errand in the ministry, in fact, there is not much difference, I will go and talk to my father, it seems that I am not in love with power, and I can also make him feel at ease with me!" ”

"It's just the second one, but why? For so many years, the prince has used many conspiracies and tricks against me behind his back, I don't fall into the trap for him, and persuade my father to kill him, which is already good, so why save him? ”

Zhao Hong said unhurriedly: "Your Highness has been by the emperor's side for so many years, haven't you realized what kind of person the emperor is?" The emperor is a very affectionate and righteous person! After so many years, not to mention the confidant minister, or the chamberlain waiting by the emperor's side, have you ever seen him kill a person? The praise of affection and righteousness may not be so appropriate for orthodoxy, but he is indeed very good to those around him.

Ye Minyu heard it well, the people who have been waiting by the emperor's side over the years, even if they are convicted, few of them have been sentenced to death, and the emperor will not even kill such a person, let alone his own son.

Soon after the emperor's decree was issued, Ye Minyu came to the Qianqing Palace. The emperor was originally angry, but when he heard that Ye Minyu was coming, he still asked Chen Jia to invite him in.

Seeing the young and handsome son walking into the hall calmly, there was not the slightest dissatisfaction on his face that he had been stripped of his power, and there was still a trace of satisfaction in the orthodox heart.

After the emperor gave the seat, Ye Minyu explained his intentions. When the emperor heard that he was going to resign from his errand in the ministry, he couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking that he was retreating as an advance to express his dissatisfaction, but his expression didn't seem to look like it.

Orthodoxy asked, "But what are you dissatisfied with about my arrangement?" ”

Ye Minyu smiled: "Father and Emperor misunderstood. Erchen is indeed limited in knowledge and does not dare to take on this great responsibility, for fear that he will mess up the affairs of the ministry and affect the normal operation of the country. Moreover, Erchen Jingxiang was injured by an arrow when he was in Jingxiang, and he had a faint pain in winter, and the imperial doctor kept telling Erchen to recuperate. Even if the father didn't wipe the errand of the military department and the governor's mansion of the five armies to his son, the son wanted to come to his father and ask the son to rest for a while! For his father's arrangement, Erchen really has no dissatisfaction at all! ”

His tone was very sincere. The matter of arrow wounds is also orthodox. His expression softened, and he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Does it matter?" If you need any precious medicinal herbs, just come and tell me, and I will ask someone to find them for you! ”

"Father Xie cares, so the ministers are welcome!" Ye Minyu said with a smile: "On the side of the ministry, you can temporarily let your sons go, and when your sons' injuries are healed, you will share your father's worries when the time comes!" ”

Orthodoxy saw that he didn't look at the slightest love for power, and he was a lot relieved.

Ye Minyu observed his words and looks, and saw that the orthodox emperor's expression was kind, and knew that he should have made the right move, so he made persistent efforts and said: "Erchen has one more thing to ask his father. ”

"What's the matter, just tell me!"

"The eldest brother has committed a major crime of national law, and my father ordered the ministers of the three law divisions to discuss the eldest brother's guilt, and I heard that the result of the discussion of the three law divisions is a decisive decision! The eldest brother is guilty of heinous crimes, and the national law is intolerable, and he is innocent! But after all, he is my eldest brother, and my father only has three of us brothers under his knees. Over the years, Erchen has been thinking that when Erchen was still young, the eldest brother has always taken good care of my younger brother, and the mother concubine was in charge of Erchen, not asking Erchen to eat more meat, and the eldest brother went to the imperial dining room to steal braised pork for Erchen to eat...... "These words are not made up, when the two brothers were young, there was still a period of time when they had a good time, but unfortunately, they gradually grew up and parted ways for the position of prince.

Speaking of this, the orthodoxy is also very emotional. Ye Minyu suddenly knelt down: "Erchen has the courage to speak, please ask the emperor to remember that the eldest brother was filial to you in the past, and spare the eldest brother's life!" ”

Orthodoxy didn't want to kill the crown prince in the first place, but when he heard this, his heart fell into his stomach all of a sudden. "What you say is true?"

"Erchen doesn't dare to deceive his father!"

A smile appeared on the orthodox face: "It is said that the heavenly family has no family affection, you can intercede for your eldest brother, I am very happy!" Good boy! He patted Ye Minyu's hand and happily pulled him to sit on the dragon bed, which is not something that anyone can sit on. Ye Minyu resolutely refused, but the orthodoxy insisted on asking him to sit.

"Actually, I also want to forgive the capital crime of that evil obstacle!" Ye Minyu chuckled in her heart, thinking that Zhao Hong's guess was really accurate. He pretended to be happy and said: "Father is generous and benevolent, with your words, the son will rest assured!" If the eldest brother can get your forgiveness, he will definitely be able to change his mind in the future, change his ways, and be a new person! ”

"That rebel doesn't need to talk about him, I left him a cheap life, which is already an extrajudicial grace. But your arrow wound, you must not be careless, this time it must be cured. After thinking about it, he said again: "I have wronged you a little in my arrangement this time, and when you are healed, I still have important things to hand over to you!" ”

Ye Minyu was willing to intercede for the prince, which was really unexpected by him, since he remembered his old feelings for his brothers, he would not do such a thing as forcing the palace to his father.

Orthodoxy couldn't help but feel that he had wronged his son and felt a little guilty about him, so he said such things. Ye Minyu was naturally humble in every way, and after the two fathers and sons talked for a while, Ye Minyu got up and said goodbye and said that he was going to see Concubine Xiao.

When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, the mother and son discussed secretly behind closed doors. Concubine Xiao said: "What did you say to your father in the Qianqing Palace?" ”

Ye Minyu told the conversation between the father and son just now. Concubine Xiao looked at her son for a while, sighed and said, "You have really grown up!" It's very good! Although she is a woman, she is also very knowledgeable, and she naturally knows that showing weakness at this time is the best way to do it.

She was relieved that her son was able to find the most suitable solution in such a short period of time. It's just that for such a big matter, her son didn't discuss it with her at all, so he came to cut it first and then play, which made her a little sad, Xiao Yunqian's matter left an irreparable rift between mother and son after all.

"It's good to take advantage of this time to rest and rest! The prince has done that kind of thing that is inferior to beasts, and he will never have the day to turn over. Sooner or later, this prince will be yours ......"

As she was talking, the big palace maid beside Concubine Xiao hurriedly ran in. He looked very flustered! Concubine Xiao was talking secretly with her son, and when she saw this scene, her face immediately darkened: "Presumptuous! Who allowed you in? ”

The palace maid suddenly knelt at Concubine Xiao's feet: "Niangniang is not good, Wu Yunqi is missing!" ”

"What did you say?" Concubine Xiao was so shocked when she heard the news that she stood up from her seat. Wu Yunqi is the guard that Concubine Xiao used to frame Concubine Yigui, commit adultery with her and have children, he knows a lot of □□, and he is a very dangerous character.

After the prince fell, Concubine Xiao did not kill people immediately for the sake of prudence, and waited until recently to kill him, but who knew that he suddenly disappeared.

This matter is very serious, and once it is revealed, the implication is too great. "No! You must find him, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death! ”

Orthodoxy released the eldest prince Ye Minshu from the prison of the Criminal Department and sent Ye Minzhao to Yuqing Palace to supervise. The original intention was to spare this son's life, but who knew that there was still something wrong with Lu Dao. The prince was used to being pampered, and when he was imprisoned in the prison, he was catching up with the emperor in anger, and the officials of the three law divisions thought that he was going to die and beat and scolded him, which really made him suffer a lot, and when Ye Minzhao brought the prince back, he may have been too stimulated and was already a little insane.

Ye Minzhao didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he hurriedly reported to the orthodox emperor. Orthodoxy took Chen Jia to see it in person, and when he arrived at Yuqing Palace, he saw the waste prince cowering in the corner of the main hall, and he didn't even know his father. just kept saying: "I'm the prince, don't come here!" I'm the prince, get out of here! "That's it!

Orthodoxy couldn't help but drop a few old tears when he saw it! On the one hand, he invited a famous doctor to treat the prince, and on the other hand, he was furious and put the officials in charge of the prison in prison. It can be regarded as avenging the abolished prince.

Since the emperor has such an attitude, no one will mention the matter of the triage of the three law divisions again. A few days later, the orthodox issued an edict to re-crown the abolished prince as Prince Shun and restore the title of Prince Yuxin.

King Shun and Princess Shun are still temporarily residing in Yuqing Palace.

King Shun became like this, and there was no possibility of rebellion, and the palace ban of Yuqing Palace was opened. At that time, the eldest lady's illness was not yet cured, and she still dragged her sick body to see Yuxin, who was already the princess of Shun, and saw that the once prosperous palace was already in a state of decay, and the original high-spirited crown prince has now become a crazy fool. The eldest lady was full of remorse, and when she returned home, her condition became even more serious.

Yulan staggered the time with the eldest lady and also entered the palace to see Yuxin. After so many ups and downs, Yuxin is a lot haggard, but fortunately, she looks in good spirits. "That's fine!" Yu Xin smiled bitterly and said to Yu Lan: "The prince is dull by nature, and it is impossible for the prince to sit firmly. Sooner or later, there will be such a day, and now that it has become like this, the new monarch will ascend the throne in the future, and he will be able to leave his life! ”

Yulan was quite speechless, Ye Minshu's ability to resist blows was too weak. When she heard Ye Yichen tell her the news that the prince was crazy, she still didn't believe it!

Yuxin is such a good girl, but she ended up like this, seeing the bleak scene of Yuqing Palace, Yulan couldn't help but cry.

Yuxin comforted her with a smile: "I didn't cry, sister, what are you crying about!" I now worship the Buddha every day, and I don't have to fight to the death with those concubines and concubines, and this day is much easier than before! The prince's brain is not good, but that aspect is okay, no matter who is pregnant with a child, I will take it to my own house and raise it, and I will be able to rely on it in the future! ”

was originally here to persuade Yuxin, but Yulan cried by herself. The two sisters talked for a while, Yulan was worried about the daughter at home, so she got up to say goodbye, and Yuxin sent her out.

As soon as he got out of the main hall, he saw a figure rushing out of the stab, everyone was startled, Xiaoyue didn't stop anyone, the person had already pounced in front of Yulan, hugged her leg and cried: "Seventh sister, you save me!" You take me out of here, the prince is crazy, he can't be cured anymore! It's like hell here! I don't want to stay here! Please, take me out of the city! You are the princess of Jin, the prince of Jin has made great achievements, the emperor will definitely listen to what you say, please tell the emperor to leave here! ”

Yulan looked at Yuxia who fell in front of her, her face was sallow, her hair was scattered, she hadn't seen her for a few days, she was ten years old, Yulan could find that her whole person was trembling, I don't know if she was afraid or scared. Yulan looked at her coldly, not knowing whether it was hatred or pity in her eyes.

"Fifth sister! Do you think the palace is opened by your family, and you can come and go when you want? Don't say that this is the palace, that is, an ordinary family, and the owner of the family has such a disease, and there is no reason to let the concubine go out! So far, no one can help you, you still stay in Yuqing Palace honestly, wait for the prince and princess, there is always a bite of food for you! ”

Yuxin was already waving her hand impatiently, and the two stout mothers-in-law immediately came over and pulled Yuxia away.

Yuxia howled and cried, crying and scolding: "You little slut, I am your own sister, you just watched me fall into the fire pit like this, and refused to pull me!" Do you still have a conscience......" Just after scolding, a dirty handkerchief has been stuffed into his mouth.

The two mothers-in-law dragged her to the side hall, and she struggled desperately. Yu Xin looked at her coldly, without a trace of fluctuation in her eyes.

Yulan can imagine the despair and unwillingness in Yuxia's mind, if she wasn't desperate, she wouldn't kneel on the ground and beg Yulan to help her.

It's just that she is to blame for all this.

If you know today, why bother in the first place!
