Behind this incident is that the prince is playing tricks and embezzling the money allocated by the imperial court to govern the Yellow River, but in the end, he broke his wrist and pushed all this on the head of his uncle, Cheng Engong, saying that Cheng Engong embezzled this amount of money in his name, and he didn't know it.

"Father, the sons really don't know about this, and the sons didn't expect that Cheng Engong would use his power for personal gain in the name of his sons, and the ministers will not be able to escape the blame for this matter, and the sons will let Cheng Engong take out all the embezzled funds for disaster relief, and the sons are also willing to go to the state capitals where the floods have occurred, to rescue the victims, and to control the floods of the Yellow River. After the prince finished saying this, he was a little uncertain in his heart, this was all taught by Yang Daoyuan, and he didn't know if it would be useful.

The prince was a little bitter in his heart, he knew that he would not move the silver, and now he not only has to spit out all the silver, but also lose Cheng'en Gong in it, which is really worth the loss!

Fortunately, Yang Daoyuan told him that as long as he won this opportunity to go to disaster relief, then Yang Daoyuan would help him handle this matter well, and he would definitely be able to redeem his merits and win the hearts of the people in the Yellow River area.

In this way, the crown prince dared to say this in front of Emperor Yonghe, otherwise, he would not dare to say that he would go to control the flooding of the Yellow River if he was killed.

As soon as the prince said this, it surprised many courtiers, after all, what kind of character is the prince, how can these courtiers not know, to put it nicely, it is called moderation, and if it is ugly, it is not responsible, when encountering this kind of thing, the prince is basically useless except for being able to stand aside as a background.

If the crown prince is just an ordinary prince, then there is naturally no problem with this, but as the prince of a country, he shrinks back when something happens, which makes many courtiers very worried about the future of Dayan.

Therefore, the crown prince impressed many courtiers this time, and almost instantly forgave him for conniving at Chengengong's corruption, which led to the flooding of the Yellow River.

And these reactions of the courtiers were also expected by Yang Daoyuan, only in this way can the prince's image in everyone's minds be restored, at least so that those neutral courtiers will not be disappointed in the prince because of this incident, and will be won over by Ye Wuxian.

For a time, many courtiers agreed with the prince to go to the Yellow River area to "make meritorious contributions".

It's a pity that when Ye Wuxian knew about this matter, he regarded the matter of going to the Yellow River area for disaster relief as his own thing, how could he easily let the prince rob it.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that one heart is indispensable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still stays in the capital to urge Cheng Engong to make up the stolen money, so that the silver can be used for disaster relief as soon as possible, after all, there are still so many victims waiting to be resettled in the capital now!" An official from the Nightless faction came out to refute it.

"Cheng Engong has already known that this matter is wrong, there is no need to supervise alone, he will also make up for the silver, so I won't bother Lord Liu." The prince's expression was slightly cold.

"It's one thing to make it up, but it's another thing when to make it up, in case Cheng Engong drags on for three or five months, then I'm afraid the Yellow River area will be full of corpses! No! Because of Cheng Engong's corruption, the Yellow River is now full of corpses! The official surnamed Liu looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

The prince secretly gritted his teeth and remembered that man in his heart, one day, he would let these people who were against him know who was the prince and who was the prince!

Because Ye Wuxian had been prepared for a long time, and Hu Yiyi originally planned to let Ye Wuxian go to disaster relief, so even though the prince had Yang Daoyuan's plan, the prince still failed to rob Ye Wuxian.

Therefore, the people who went to the disaster relief area of the Yellow River were not dead at night, and Cheng Engong embezzled this time, in addition to making up for all the embezzled funds, he also had to make up more gold 10,000 taels to settle the affected people, and he was also demoted to the title, from the first-class Chengenbo to the third-class Chengenbo, and he was directly downgraded to eight levels, becoming the lowest among the nobles. Pray for the people who died in the floods.

"According to the prince's temperament, he will definitely not be willing to let King Zhou go like this, and he may be able to do something about King Zhou's disaster relief," Hu Zijue was a little worried, "If this is the case, King Zhou may not be affected, but those victims ......"

"If he really did this, then he, the prince of a country, didn't have to do it." Hu Yiyi's eyes were slightly cold, the prince himself was clothed and fed, even though he killed so many people, but he was only punished and grounded to copy the scriptures, which was basically equal to being unharmed, but what about the dead people? But he will never wake up again, "I don't know if the prince was afraid that the dead people would come to him when he copied the Sutra of Life." ”

As she spoke, Hu Yi's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a familiar arc of Hu Yiyi: "Second brother, I don't want to let the prince go like this." ”

"Anyway, what's the idea?" Hu Zijue has long been surprised.

Hu Yiyi muttered in Hu Zijue's ear.

Hu Yiyi glanced at Hu Yiyi helplessly: "You girl, you are really narrow!" But this is a good idea, at least when the prince does this kind of thing in the future, he will weigh it carefully! ”

Hu Yi grinned.

As soon as the order of the imperial court came, the victims of the disaster in the capital were resettled, and they all returned to their hometowns one after another with the disaster relief team led by Ye Wuxian.

This time, Ye Wuxian originally didn't plan to take Xu Pingchuan with him, after all, this time the matter was very important, and he still had precautions against Xu Pingchuan, so he planned to let Xu Pingchuan stay in the capital, he first let people observe for a while, but Hu Yiyi's plan this time was indispensable to Xu Pingchuan, so Xu Pingchuan had no choice, so he could only show his ability to deal with the flood in front of Ye Wuxian, and Ye Wuxian took Xu Pingchuan with him.

Before Xu Pingchuan left, Hu Yiyi also tried to let him meet with his family, so that Xu Pingchuan could follow Ye Wuxian with peace of mind, and help Ye Wuxian do this errand wholeheartedly, and her family would settle it.

In this way, Xu Pingchuan followed Ye Wudi.

As soon as the front foot of the night was gone, the East Palace on the back foot began to be haunted, because of the scriptures written by the prince.

"I heard that the prince wrote the Sutra of the Past and was about to burn it to the dead victims, but the paper couldn't be lit!"

"And such a wicked thing?! The East Palace is the residence of the prince, and there is a dragon pressure on it, and there will be ghosts! This ......"

"I heard that the Yellow River corruption case was not done by Cheng Enbo at all, and the person behind it is actually the prince! So those who died were all killed by the prince! So those people don't want the prince's copy of the Sutra of the Past at all, so they can't point it! ”

"When you say that, I feel like that! Otherwise, why did the well-behaved East Palace suddenly become a ghost? ”

"As a prince, the prince actually ignored so many people in the Yellow River area for money! You deserve to be haunted by ghosts! ”

There was a lot of talk outside the haunting of the East Palace, and the crown prince was also trembling in the East Palace, and he didn't dare to sleep all night, because as soon as he closed his eyes, ghosts would appear, and they would be exactly like the victims he had seen in the capital, and they kept shouting in his ears to make him pay for his life.

It started when he burned the Sutra, but then he could often see ghosts at night, and then he could even hear sounds! That kind of heart-rending shout gave him a headache when he heard it.

But in the East Palace, except for him, everyone has only seen ghosts, but no one can hear the sound like him, so those ghosts are aimed at him alone!

"Don't, don't come to me! I don't want it, I don't know it's going to be like this...... "After a long time, the prince couldn't hold on, and he still wanted to sleep, but as soon as he fell asleep, he began to have nightmares, and the people next to him could only watch the prince's hands keep gesturing something, but they couldn't wake him up.

In this way, the haunting of the East Palace spread farther and farther, and there were more and more speculations that the crown prince was behind the Yellow River corruption case.

So an official of the Ye Wuxian faction proposed to retry the case, but was vetoed by Emperor Yonghe: "This case is over, the prince is heartbroken and angry because of Cheng Enbo's corruption, and he is sick, so don't mention this matter again." ”

Since Emperor Yonghe has come forward to make peace with the mud, no matter how everyone talks about this matter in private, but on the surface, it is like this, that is, Cheng Enbo is corrupt, and it has nothing to do with the prince.

But the prince fell ill anyway.

"The emperor didn't investigate this matter thoroughly, he must have a number in his heart, and he didn't know if it was because the prince was sick, so he wanted to let the prince go, or for some other reason." Wei Jin and Hu Yiyi sighed.

"It's nothing more than the emperor's balancing technique, if this matter is thoroughly investigated, it will definitely be able to find out the prince's head, but in this way, the prince will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, and the king of Zhou will definitely take the opportunity to let people raise the matter of abolishing the prince, and the emperor will not be able to keep the prince at that time, in this case, isn't it the king of Zhou's family that is dominant? How can the emperor rest assured, it is better to keep the prince and compete with King Zhou, and the emperor will be more at ease. Hu Yiyi's tone was slightly mocking.

"The power of King Zhou was originally connived by the emperor with one eye and one eye closed, just to let the king of Zhou and the crown prince compete, so that the prince would not sit big and threaten his throne." Wei Jin has been in the office for three or four years, and his official position is not low, he can be a man and eat well in officialdom, so he understands everything in the court very clearly.

"In this way, the partisan strife in the court is too serious, and everyone is busy standing in line, and no one is doing anything." Hu Yi sighed.

"I don't know how long it will take for this to happen." Wei Jin was also full of ambition before he joined the government, but when he really came into contact with the government, he knew that many things were far more complicated than he thought, but fortunately he was valued by Dali Temple, and he acted smoothly in Dali Temple.

"It won't be too long, and when the prince and King Zhou compete for a victory, it's almost over." Hu Yi showed a hint of mockery.

"If it weren't for the emperor's intention to protect the crown prince, it is estimated that someone would propose to abolish the crown prince by now," Wei Jin said, glanced at Hu Yiyi again, and asked: "When the prince and the king of Zhou divide the victory, will you start supporting the seven princes on your side?" Isn't partisanship still there? ”

Hu Yiyi chuckled, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes: "The crown prince and the king of Zhou were both defeated, the emperor was angry, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and the seven princes handled the government on their behalf, so how could there be a partisan dispute?" ”

Wei Jin was stunned in place, he didn't expect Hu Yiyi's ambition to be so big, but thinking about the things Hu Yiyi has done since he met Hu Yiyi, it is not unexpected.

It's just that Wei Jin couldn't help but lower his voice and asked tentatively: "How do you know that the emperor will be angry and sick because of the defeat of the crown prince and the king of Zhou?" If the crown prince and the king of Zhou are both defeated, the emperor should be the happiest one, right? ”

In the face of Wei Jin's temptation, Hu Yiyi did not hide it, she looked at Wei Jin directly, and there was a bit of momentum in her eyes to look at the world: "The reason why the entire Dayan court is so dark and miasma is now that the emperor has to take seventy percent of the responsibility, so I think the emperor ...... I can't afford to be sick. ”
