Emperor Chengwu asked coldly: "Since the sixth child, you said that it has nothing to do with you, how should you explain the above things?" ”

King Xiang was aggrieved on the surface, but he was terrified in his heart. Did my father really know? No, it can't be. If the father and emperor knew, how could he recruit all their sons, and there was no evidence to think about it.

Otherwise, this time it would be time to lock him up and put him in jail, can she still tell the difference?

It must be so!

King Xiang climbed to the feet of Emperor Chengwu, pulled Emperor Chengwu's bright yellow dragon robe, and kept saying: "Father, father, my son is really wronged." Even if you give your son ten dares, your son will not be able to do it. If the affairs of the children and ministers are kept in the dark, please ask the father and the emperor to be clear, and ask the father and the emperor to be clear. ”

Emperor Chengwu said: "But isn't that soldier squire your person?" You've always been good friends with him. ”

When King Xiang heard this, his heart tightened, and his plan for now was to quickly get rid of this suspicion.

"Father, how can that soldier be my person, he is a courtier, a courtier of my father. Erchen's usual things are just a few more words because he values his talents. Even if I take 10,000 steps back and say that I can have a good relationship with him, can he really do these things for me? Besides, it was really me who instructed him, and the sons should always make some profits. However, I have been in Gyeonggi for the past few months, worrying about my father's health, how can I have time to go and conspire with him. ”

Emperor Chengwu looked at King Xiang's sincere and frightened appearance, and the anger in his heart disappeared a little. I heard him mention his health, and remembered that he had been running around for himself in the past few months, and I felt a little pity in my heart.

The coldness in his tone was less: "If you really didn't do it, I naturally wouldn't have wronged you, but now the evidence points to you, what should you do?" ”

"Father, you can't just believe what is written on this fold, Erchen didn't do it, naturally there is no need to be afraid, but Erchen wants to know who wants to harm Erchen, and he actually pressed such a big charge on Erchen."

Emperor Chengwu said expressionlessly: "Even if you didn't do it, but the sixth brother, your suspicion is still there, you can stay in the mansion during this time and think about it behind closed doors." ”

King Liang and King Rui heard that this matter was so easily exposed, where would they stop.

King Rui said loudly: "Father, it is clearly written on this, even if he is not the mastermind of the sixth brother, it has nothing to do with him." ”

Emperor Chengwu narrowed his eyes and looked at King Rui: "Oh, that old Jiu, what do you think?" ”

"Erchen ......" Seeing Emperor Chengwu's gaze resting on him, King Rui suddenly stopped, how could he forget that their father coveted the prince and made his own decisions. Since he had already decided, wouldn't it make him feel that he was not convinced by him.

"Father, the son is not interesting, everything is also decided by the father, and the father must have been carefully considered."

This is also a quick turn.

Emperor Chengwu stayed on him for a while, then moved away: "You are all brothers, don't think about pulling your brothers off the horse all day long." ”

Having said that, if one day, they really shake hands and make peace, the most worrying thing is Emperor Chengwu himself.

"Yes." Others followed.

"However, the squire of the military department smuggled weapons, the evidence is conclusive, and the crime is unforgivable. Along with the rest of his party, he was imprisoned. This matter was handed over to Dali Temple for thorough investigation. ”

As soon as Emperor Chengwu said this, someone on the side had already written down his will.

Then they all dispersed.

After they all left, Emperor Chengwu muttered, "What a group of uneasy guys." ”

Emperor Chengwu naturally knew what was going on in this matter, but this was not the time to punish King Xiang. Don't think he doesn't know, this matter will be found out so quickly, and the other sons have not done it.

And it's not just King Xiang who has formed a party for personal gain, how can the others not secretly buy people, at this time, they should be holding each other back, how can they let one side dominate.

Besides, Lao Jiu has also been emerging very quickly recently.

In fact, when he received the news at that time, Emperor Chengwu was eager to immediately arrest King Xiang in front of him, reprimand him fiercely, and then put him in prison. was just woken up by Concubine Yun's inadvertent words.

If he really pulled King Xiang off the horse so quickly, the other sons would definitely take this opportunity to expand their power in a big way, and when the power was great, would they still take him as the emperor in their hearts?

I have to say that once the suspicions are together, endless thoughts come rushing in.

Especially now that his health is not very good, his sons are indeed in the prime of life.

Therefore, there is no need for Concubine Yun to say anything, this Emperor Chengwu himself has an idea, and only today has the thunder and rain.

King Xiang, who returned to the palace, hurriedly summoned the advisers in the palace to the study to discuss matters.

Over the years, he has also recruited talented people from all over the world, in order to defeat other brothers and compete for the position above.

King Xiang told the story of what had happened today, as well as the reactions of his brothers and the punishment that Emperor Chengwu had imposed on him.

One of the advisors sitting below him said: "Although the emperor punished the squire of the military department, but for His Highness, he was only grounded, which is enough to show that the emperor should only suspect His Highness, and there is no conclusive evidence." ”

King Xiang nodded: "What Mr. said coincides with what this king thinks." It's ridiculous that King Rui's face today wants to pull this king off the horse. I'm afraid I'm reluctant now. ”

"Your Royal Highness doesn't want to fight with other princes at this time, the most important thing now is to deal with the aftermath of this matter, and don't let the emperor find any clues. And what the emperor said should also mean to beat other princes. "After all, King Rui in the imperial study is really chasing after him, but fortunately, King Rui said those words, which made the emperor feel that other princes had secretly attacked.

"Well, although my father is angry today, after this king said a few words, there are also signs of soft-heartedness. Yesterday, the king handed the news to Concubine Yun, and I thought that she would also help the king say something good. ”

Concubine Yun was sent to the palace by her, so she was naturally his person. The reason why he sent Concubine Yun to the palace was because at this moment, with such a person by his father's side, he could also receive news about many things quickly, and there was room for relief.

"It's just, Your Highness, although Concubine Yun is a person from His Highness. But now that she has given birth to a prince, I am afraid that she will have different intentions, and please don't trust her too much. Another strategist said.

When she first found Concubine Yun, she felt that this woman was very ambitious, although she promised to serve His Royal Highness at that time, but now her identity is different from before. gave birth to fifteen princes.

The emperor's preference for the fifteen princes, they have also heard of it. I'm afraid that Concubine Yun will not be willing to accept the status quo, and will no longer be willing to be a pawn of His Highness, and give birth to other thoughts, at that time, I am afraid that it will be the biggest threat to His Highness.

However, King Xiang didn't care much: "This king knows in his heart, this king grasps Concubine Yun's weakness, and she can only be used by me, as for the fifteen princes in the palace, now he is not a baby, is it possible that his father will love the house and Wu to hand over the country of the Great Jin Dynasty to a baby?" Moreover, the princes and princesses in this palace were not born to grow up safely, and many died young. ”

In the end, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in King Xiang's eyes. He will not be soft-hearted because the other party is a baby or his brother.

The strategist wanted to say a few more words, but King Xiang had already raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, there is no need to talk about this matter." Today, this king has some ideas. ”

The advisor asked, "What else does Your Highness have to worry about?" ”

King Xiang said in a deep voice: "After today's incident, I think King Jing is not as simple as I imagined. At that time, I sent so many men and horses, and I didn't even take his life, which is really hateful. Otherwise, this king would not have come to this point today. ”

He still hates it in his heart. The soldier squire can be regarded as having been cultivated by him for a long time, but he didn't expect to fold it on this today. He also lost so many subordinates, and his power was greatly reduced compared to before.

How could he swallow this breath.

The strategist was afraid that King Xiang had done something irreparable under impulse, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, although it didn't succeed at that time, it seems that now it is also a good thing?" ”

King Xiang frowned and said, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Your Highness, what do you think, the news we have found in the past few days, at that time, it was not only our way, but also King Rui, if it was really successful at that time, I am afraid that King Rui will take this handle and go to the emperor to denounce you. At that time, I will not be able to get away with the crime. ”

King Xiang chuckled in his heart, indeed, according to King Rui's performance today, if he really succeeded, before he had time to destroy the evidence, King Rui would have stabbed the matter in front of his father.

He gritted his teeth at this time and said, "Lao Jiu's heart is really black." I want to be the yellow finch in the back. Thinking of uprooting the two princes at once, it will not be the world of him and King Liang at that time. "I'm afraid that the third brother is not as good as his nine-twisted mind.

"It's best that Your Highness can figure it out, and now our enemies are not King Jing, but King Liang and King Rui. Although this King Jing has done this now, he is only new to the court, and there are no people. The reason why there is a way to do this and retire after success is that the emperor secretly helps behind his back. ”

King Xiang frowned: "You mean, King Jing was left by those masked people at that time, and the masked man was his father's person?" ”

He nodded and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." According to the people under him, those people are strong in martial arts, if they are not the emperor's people, who else can they be. King Jing doesn't have such a crowd on his side. Moreover, the matter of smuggling weapons is also a major matter, how can the emperor let go of this matter and hand it over to King Jing, who has never dealt with court affairs? I'm afraid, the person behind this is also the emperor, and King Jing is just a name. ”

When the man finished speaking, the room fell silent. If so, then he really has to be glad that he didn't succeed at that time, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to sit here today......

Father, father, what are you planning in your heart......
