Chapter 168: Movement

Emperor Chengwu came to Concubine Wen and was not known by others, so it can be said that others do not have the energy to take care of a concubine who has been neglected for so long.

Whether it is a virtuous concubine or a queen, or a concubine, they are all staring at the movements in the court at this time because of the fraud in the imperial examination.

And King Qi didn't know that after he left, Emperor Chengwu would go to Yilanyuan.

After he left the palace, he went directly to deal with things and did not go to Xin Yan.

According to Xin Yan's words, almost everyone's attention is now on him, and if the two of them meet, they may find out the clues. So for now, it's best to cut off the connection and go their own way.

Although King Qi wanted to tell Xin Yan that everything was going as she expected, he also knew that now was not the best time.

It's best to do what they said before. King Qi returned to the mansion and locked himself in the study to make sure that there were no other spies.

Only then did he take out the bag in the dark compartment, and there was a small book and a letter in it.

Xin Yan once said that as long as Emperor Chengwu handed over the matter to him to deal with, he would act according to what he said, and everything would not be a problem.

He opened it with apprehension, although he felt that what Xin Yan said would not be false, but there was still a trace of suspicion that the woman really expected anything.

After reading the things in his hand, King Qi couldn't calm down for a long time, his mood could no longer be explained by shock, if everything above was true, wouldn't it be too terrible......

Xin Yan, Xin Yan, what kind of woman are you......

However, he was sure that if things really developed according to Xin Yan's writings, those people would definitely be unlucky.

"Husband? Are you back? The concubine has prepared snacks for you. Outside the door, King Qi's princess spoke.

When King Qi heard that it was his wife's voice, he put away his vigilance and came to his study without making a sound, and the secret guard didn't make a move, so it was naturally a few people close to him, so there was no need to be guarded.

But what he had to do was too big, so he answered. Put things back in before opening the door.

The sunset outside the door suddenly became very dazzling, although it was not hot, but it made King Qi's whole body warm......

Sure enough, as soon as the leakage of the imperial examination questions was leaked, it set off a huge storm, and I think it was the same.

Other students have studied hard for decades, but now they have been deprived of the opportunity to achieve fame by improper means, and the serious and upright examination has become a stepping stone for some people to take shortcuts, and they have become a stepping stone for others.

Therefore, many students spontaneously surrounded the gate of the palace, hoping that Emperor Chengwu would be able to give them the decision and punish the people who planned all this.

However, they had only been here for an hour, and someone told them that Emperor Chengwu had asked King Qi to preside over the incident!

They were puzzled, and they didn't think that Emperor Chengwu could make a decision so quickly. However, when King Qi appeared, several students recognized that King Qi was the son who was standing next to the son of Lord Yushi at that time.

Then I heard that it was King Qi who testified and informed Emperor Chengwu of the whole story, and Emperor Chengwu made up his mind so quickly.

In this way, the perception of King Qi is much better than that of other princes.

This is also what Xin Yan and King Qi want to see, so those who spread the news were also arranged by Xin Yan, the purpose was to manipulate public opinion and make the trend of things favorable to them.

Of course, there are some good deeds, just to make this matter bigger, and then make King Qi unable to deal with this matter well. At that time, Emperor Chengwu will naturally be angry with King Qi, so he will be tantamount to lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

But this is also what King Qi and Xin Yan had foreseen a long time ago, but they let those people stir up trouble in the crowd. Because this matter is a big trouble, it is also good for them. Of course, they will also manipulate the development of things in the shadows.

At this time, the most important thing to watch out for is the perpetrator of the fraud in the imperial examination.

After appeasing those people, King Qi really devoted himself to the investigation.

Those people originally thought that King Qi must not know anything, and even if he did, he would not be able to show anything......

Besides, King Qi's ability to do things is not worth mentioning at all in their hearts, look at what he did before, which thing is not full of mistakes and omissions?!

As long as you make good use of King Qi's chess piece, you don't have to worry about being exposed.

However, they didn't expect that even if what King Qi did before was not perfect, it could be said that anyone else could do it well.

But he still accomplished everything, at least not a single thing will be abandoned halfway......

Only a very few people will feel that King Qi is not as overwhelmed as it seems.

Otherwise, how could Emperor Chengwu hand over this matter to King Qi, who didn't know anything, just to suppress the other princes? Not really.

As soon as King Qi came out of the palace gate, he was stopped.

Marquis Ning Yuan stopped King Qi from behind, and then stepped forward to greet King Qi, and said, "Is Your Highness going to interrogate that Jiang Guang now?" ”

Because of Jiang Guang, the case of fraud in the imperial examination was put on the surface, so they naturally felt that they had to start from this Jiang Guang......

King Qi said helplessly: "Yes! The father handed over this matter to the king, and the king naturally couldn't let his father down...... It's just that I'm not afraid of Hou Ye's jokes, this king has never handled such a big case, and for a while, it is still difficult to decide. ”

Marquis Ning Yuan comforted: "Your Highness doesn't need to be too careful, since the emperor handed over this matter to you, he must have his reasons, and he also believes in the prince's ability to do things." The prince must not be presumptuous, but Wei Chen thought that His Royal Highness may not be very familiar with the personnel of the court, if there is anything that needs the help of the minister, the minister will definitely do his best. Anyway, the minister has also brought a lot of soldiers, and he still has a certain ability to extract confessions and distinguish between truth and falsehood......"

When Ning Yuanhou was young, he fought a lot of battles with the first emperor, and there were not a few captured prisoners and spies that were unearthed, and there were also a lot of medicines used in the army to interrogate prisoners, so what he said was not empty words.

King Qi nodded gratefully to Marquis Ning Yuan: "If there is a need, this king will ask the marquis for advice." ”

King Qi naturally knew that Ning Yuanhou had no second thoughts, at least in his opinion, Ning Yuanhou was still very loyal to the Great Jin, if there was no Ning Yuanhou's guard, the Great Jin would not know how many disasters it would face.

It's just that his father is seriously suspicious and sick, so he feels that Marquis Ning Yuan has a lot of respect for his troops. Emperor Chengwu was old, so he wanted to grasp everything in his hands, especially the military power.

However, his method of removing talents will only chill the hearts of those ministers.

And Ning Yuanhou is not a reckless man who has no force and no wisdom.

Otherwise, they will not hand over the military power to protect the stability of the entire Hou Mansion.

Now that he speaks, he must not be like the court of the Great Jin, tainted by these scum. Speaking of which, it was also for the sake of the entire Great Jin, and at the risk of being suspected by Emperor Chengwu, he still opened this mouth with him.

On this point, King Qi admired him.

Therefore, what he said was also sincere, and Ning Yuanhou also felt it.

After a short exchange with King Qi, I knew that King Qi was a wise and foolish person, and he deliberately hid his edge, and in today's situation, it was the actions of smart people.

"Although this king is worried, he will not live up to his father's trust, fortunately, my father knows that I am not familiar with the affairs of the court, and gave me a token so that I can investigate smoothly, and I think my father is also prescient."

This sentence was said by King Qi to those who were secretly observing him.

Let them go back and tell their master that Emperor Chengwu is very concerned about this matter. It's that he doesn't want the people behind him to escape, and if he does anything, he must be ready to confront Emperor Cheng Wu head-on!

Marquis Ning Yuan guessed King Qi's thoughts, and also intended to help him, and then said: "Nothing can naturally be hidden from the emperor's eyes, and those demons and monsters are also not long in coming, His Royal Highness King Qi will soon be able to find out about this matter." ”

King Qi and Marquis Ning Yuan sang and harmonized, and Emperor Chengwu really attached great importance to this matter, and even would never let go of the people behind the scenes.

Some people are already in turmoil, some are still dying, and some are trying to find a way to remedy it.

At this time, it was suddenly revealed that Jiang Guang knew the person behind the scenes, and the person who knew who was secretly spreading the test questions......

This moment it exploded, for example, as soon as King Rui heard it, he couldn't wait to act. When King Liang saw King Rui's actions, he also felt that there must be something related to this, and he observed it for a few days in a row, which just confirmed his conjecture.

At this moment, even King Liang is not calm. This is a great opportunity to bring down King Rui. Emperor Chengwu hated the fraud in the imperial examination, and even under the impetus of Xin Yan, those students shouted that Emperor Chengwu was wise, and raised his wise hat so high.

Emperor Chengwu, who has a good face, naturally can't do that kind of thing, so now, things will be taken so seriously.

As long as it is implicated, it is absolutely impossible to get out of the whole body, and even lose your life!

King Liang thought, King Zherui is killing himself, if he doesn't secretly push and let him die faster, how can he be embarrassed to waste his painstaking efforts to do this in vain.

Although King Liang is not sure yet, King Rui has a certain connection with this matter. But there is no need to worry, as long as there is a trace of relationship, King Liang can naturally make him real, anyway, just splash dirty water on him at that time, at that time, he can't tell if he has a mouth, because it is true that he is implicated.

Therefore, King Liang also thinks that at this time, King Rui will definitely make a move against Jiang Guang, and wouldn't it be better to catch turtles in an urn at that time? !
