Chapter 280: Temptation
He simply didn't do anything and changed his life against the sky, and the Taoist only said that his daughter was born with a phoenix life, and he didn't say that Situ Huaibo was born as an emperor.
As long as he works hard, there must be a way to resolve this dead knot.
Situ Huaidu's thigh can't be loosened, he must find a way to use his daughter's life to push Situ Huaidu's ascending to the throne.
The more Wen Hongzhi thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, he slammed the table, and immediately asked people to go to King Chen's mansion to deliver a post.
He wants to meet Situ Huai.
But time flickered by, and three days later, Wen Hongzhi still didn't meet Situ Huai, because the emperor sent him out to supervise the selection of officials in the surrounding counties, and Wen Hongzhi had no choice but to postpone the time of the meeting.
Who knew that on this day, when Wen Hongzhi came back from the surrounding counties, he heard the peddlers and pawns talking about the "natural phoenix life".
Wen Hongzhi was in a hurry, and he said urgically, "Hurry back home." ”
The groom did not dare to delay, and the whip was whipped hard on the horse's buttocks, and the horse was in pain and ran wildly.
Wang Hongzhi swayed left and right in the carriage, without a trace of anger on her face, only panic and overwhelmed.
How is it that even ordinary people know about this?
He hurriedly entered the house, and saw that his henchmen had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him come in, he immediately reported: "Master, something happened." ”
The henchmen were also eager, and the old man didn't bring a few people with him when he went there, and they ran around all day long, and they sent out a lot of people, but they didn't find the whereabouts of the old man.
The henchmen are so anxious that they can't do it, but fortunately, the master is back today.
After going through what happened in the capital in the past few days, the henchmen focused on the natural life of their own young lady from beginning to end.
It turned out that this was the case, Wen Hongzhi went to the Immortal Temple, and Ming Daozi speculated that a woman was born with a phoenix life from within the Taoist temple, and soon someone combined these two things, and then took a look at the time when Wen Hongzhi went to the Immortal Temple, and then calculated the fortune-telling thing of Ming Daozi to people, the two coincided, no one is a fool, and I figured it out at once.
Wen Hongzhi clutched his chest and almost fell on the Taishi's chair.
"What the hell is going on!"
Didn't he give Ming Daozi silver: let him not leak it?
Wen Hongzhi always felt that this matter was not simple, could it be that someone was manipulating it behind the scenes?
Wen Hongzhi's eyes narrowed slowly.
Throwing out the walnut jade he was holding in his hand, Wen Hongzhi was furious: "Go check it for me!" ”
The henchman ran out in a hurry, and soon the henchman came back, and the result he brought back was also very simple.
"My lord, this matter was said by Ming Daozi on his own initiative."
With a bang, the teacup slammed against the door and exploded, and broken porcelain pieces burst out in all directions, one of which even cut the corner of the henchman's eye, leaving a bloody mark.
The henchman didn't dare to move, just hung his head, ignoring the stinging pain on his face.
The clothes ran out in a hurry, this time they were crawling with them, and they didn't even have time to care about the blood and dirt on their bodies.
Wen Hongzhi sat on the Taishi chair alone, and he didn't know what to do: fortunately, he came back early, otherwise I don't know what this matter will ferment into, if the emperor knows, it will be over, Wen Hongzhi panicked in his heart.
At the same time, he also made people keep an eye on the Huaiwang Mansion, for fear that Situ Huaibo would have any changes, if he didn't prepare in advance, he was afraid that he would be killed by Situ Huaibo's villain.
Wen Hongzhi is acting more and more cautiously.
At the same time, Situ Huaibo's Chenwang Mansion was in the house.
He looked at the secret report from his subordinates, his eyes flickered several times, and then he picked up the fire fold and burned the secret report and threw it into the trash.
"Wen Hongzhi! The text is shallow! ”
What are these two people doing, and why did it suddenly spread that Wen Qingqian was born with a phoenix, or at this time, when he was about to marry Qu Miaoling.
Situ Huaibo couldn't help but guess, is this another conspiracy of Wen Hongzhi? Last time, he was deceived by Wen Hongzhi's superb acting skills, this time he also took Wen Qingqian to the Immortal Temple, don't think that he didn't know that Wen Hongzhi didn't care about the Immortal Temple for so many years before, this time he suddenly accompanied Wen Qingqian, how could he just worship his ex-wife!
Situ Huaibo couldn't believe it, his fingers tapping on the desk, making a subtle clicking sound.
In the quiet of the study, only the sound of clicking could be heard.
Situ Huaibo thought about it and always felt that this matter was not so simple.
So what is Wen Hongzhi's plan?
He called his subordinates and asked, "How is the Prime Minister's Mansion doing?" What's going on? ”
The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Your Highness is quiet. ”
Situ Huaibo snorted from his nostrils and asked his subordinates to go down.
When something like this happened, Wen Hongzhi was still so calm and serene, which made him even more suspicious.
The frequency of finger tapping increased, and the sound of clicks became more rapid.
Could it be that Wen Hongzhi wants to target his marriage with Qu Miaoling?
Thinking like this, the doubts in Situ Huaibo's heart were solved little by little.
It must be like this, he doesn't want Qu Miaoling to marry him, so that he will lose a strong help, and when he competes with Situ Huai in the future, his competitiveness will be small.
Wen Hongzhi's abacus clanged, but he didn't know that he had cracked it all.
Indeed, he can't let go of Qu Miaoling, and he can't let go of the shallowness, and he still plans to send all of them to the beautiful wives and concubines in the mansion by his side, one is talented and the other is feminine, why not be beautiful?
But now, Situ Huai knew he had to make a choice.
But he didn't want to let go of any of this.
The greed of men burst out to the extreme at this moment.
But Situ Huaibo was still hesitating.
At last he threw out the calligraphy and painting in his hand, which he had obtained for a thousand taels of silver at the auction house the other day, and it took three months for the most famous painter of the dynasty to complete.
There is no market.
"Wen Hongzhi, this time your abacus is wrong, this king is not so easy to fool!"
Situ Huaibo shouted angrily with a pair of eyes.
The emperor's minions were deeply hidden among the common people, and Situ Qingchu received the news from the spies as soon as possible.
The moment he saw the secret report, Situ Qingqi's eyes widened, and the anger in them burned fiercely, as if the next second would burn the imperial study into ashes.
"Go and find out who made this matter!"
The Dark Guard vanished into the court.
The emperor pinched the corner of the table of the imperial case, and vigorously made the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, protruding from cyan lines.
Prime Minister Wen, Wen Qingqian, Situ Huaidu, Situ Huaibo, Qu Miaoling, the names of these people couldn't stop spinning in the emperor's mind.
What role do these people play in this?
The emperor is not a fool, if there is no way here, he will not believe it.
But who did it? And what is the purpose? Situ Qingchu doesn't know.
There was a fire in his heart, crackling and burning, but all Situ Qingchu could do was analyze calmly.
As an emperor, he can't be like a hairy boy, he has to figure it out, and figure it out.
In fact, the most important thing is not the mastermind behind the scenes, but the impact of this incident.
Wen Qingqian's rumors of "born with a phoenix" spread widely, in case the princes took it seriously, because such a woman caused disputes among the princes, it would be worth the loss.
If necessary......
Situ Qing's eyelids were wrinkled, what if he killed a woman.
It's just that when the time comes, he has to find a way to appease Prime Minister Wen and Situ Huaidu, after all, this imperial concubine was selected by him for Situ Huaidu, and for the sake of this woman, he even did not hesitate to sweep Situ Huaidu's face and beat him heavily on the main hall.
At that time, the quasi-imperial concubine who was about to enter the cave room was gone, where would he go to compensate Situ Huai for a new one.
And seeing that Situ Huaiju and Prime Minister Wen Cheng's Mansion were getting closer and closer, his spies also came to report that the relationship between Wen Qingqian and Situ Kuai's relationship was getting better and better, and they were extremely cold before, but now the two of them can sit together and talk and chat.
Such a great progress was wiped out, and Situ Qingchu also had a headache.
But if Wen Qingqian is not disposed of, then Wen Hongzhi, who is ambitious as a wolf, may do something rebellious?
Moreover, he could also see that Situ Huaibo was not small, and he would rather believe that he had something or not, and held this concept, whether Situ Huaibin would take the opportunity to force the palace like his eldest brother.
coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, coupled with Wen Qingqian's natural phoenix character has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if everyone in the world looks down on Situ Huaibo, he will acquiesce to sit on the throne because of this fate.
This is also what Situ poured out his biggest worries.
He will never allow this to happen, so Wen Qingqian can't be born with a phoenix.
The corners of Situ's mouth slowly hooked, and his smile was full of coldness.
"True Destiny" and "Mother of the World".
Muttering these eight words, the coldness on the emperor's lips became heavier.
Coldly hearing that these two people are quite husband and wife, thinking of those vague rumors, this Situ Huaibo and Wen Qingqian have met many times behind their backs.
What do they want to do?
Just when Situ Huaibo and Wenhong Zhidu were thinking about each other, Situ Huai was called into the palace.
Before this, as soon as the news of Wen Qingqian's natural order came out, Qu Miaoling immediately met with Situ Express, and the two discussed this matter together.
"Third child, you're finally here." There was a hint of alarm in the Emperor's voice.
was caught by Situ Huaiju, which was the same as he and Qu Miaoling guessed, the emperor is in a hurry now.
Situ Qingchu refuses to accept the old, and the fact that he has not established a prince for so long is enough to see his dedication to the throne.
If he doesn't get old enough to move, Situ Qingtuo will never give up the throne, let alone give in.
"Back to my father, my sons have something to say."
"You say." Situ Qingchu's voice was cold, and he threw off his wide sleeved robe and sat down, the bright yellow robe shining dazzlingly under the light.
"Erchen recently heard that there has been a rumor circulating among the people."
"What rumors are you talking about?" The Emperor asked, pretending to be unaware and confused.
"Back to Your Majesty, that rumor is really unbearable, and I am afraid that you will pollute your ears by listening to it.
"I want to see what kind of rumors it is, you say, third."
"Back to my father, the people are wearing the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Wen's family, and she will sit in that seat in the future, and it is rumored that she has a nose and eyes."
"How can such a thing happen?" The emperor looked shocked, as if he really didn't know.
The father and son are racing their acting skills, just above this hall.
"Father, after the son knows about this, he will report it to you immediately." Situ Huaidu, this is showing loyalty, but Wen Qingqian is Situ Huaidu's quasi-imperial concubine, and his words Situ Qingchu is a little unbelievable.
"Then according to the emperor's opinion, what do you think should be done?" Situ Qingchu threw the ball back again, and Situ Huai had no choice but to answer.
"Father, the sons and daughters think that this matter is spread strangely, obviously that Taoist temple is far away from the capital, how did it spread to the imperial city, and that Ming Daozi, knowing that this matter is very important, but still casually tell others."
Situ squinted his eyes and listened carefully to Situ Huaidu's analysis, he nodded slowly and said, "Go on." ”
"Father, and I have an immature idea."
"Tell me, I forgive you for your innocence."
Arching his hand towards the emperor, Situ Huai said with a hesitant expression: "Father, emperor, and ministers have a suspicious candidate in their hearts. ”
The Emperor sighed.
"Who is it?"
