Jing Yuke twitched his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"Han Chengsheng was killed, and a large number of salt and iron ledgers were found in his mansion... Among them are also his letters to His Highness... The government of Nadu has already sent someone to raid his mansion! Hearing this, Jing Yuke's face suddenly turned cold as frost...

Qi Wangfu.

King Qi Jing Yu Tianzheng was talking to Du Ruting, the Guanglu doctor of Zhongshu Pavilion, at this moment Jing Yutian's eyebrows were furrowed, and his chest was full of anxiety: "Lord Du, Wei Huan temporarily retired from the capital, and Chang Qilian was convicted of something else, so where will the next situation in Zhongshu Pavilion change?" ”

Due to Emperor Xia'an's strange crime order, Du Ruting, the third person in Zhongshu Pavilion, did not dare to speculate: "Your Highness, it is estimated that with the current situation, it is impossible for the old man to get his hands on the position of the capital, and besides, Chang Qi was imprisoned for joining the Haiji Commercial Goods Company, but His Majesty did not investigate again, which is very strange, Wei Huan temporarily retired from his position, it is not common sense, if it is done safely, it is better to wait and see what happens..."

"That's why the king is upset!" Jing Yutian said in a slightly confused mood: "Lord Du, there is a way to let this king go to see Chang Qilian, no matter what, if he gives birth to this matter, this king must have all the expressions!" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Du Ruting bluntly refused: "Your Highness, don't contact Chang Qilian at this time, in case you are caught by others, it will be too late to regret it!" ”

"But it's okay to wait!"

"Your Highness, the more critical the time, the more you must be stable! Even the prince and the prince of Qing have been punished by His Majesty to guard the imperial mausoleum, and the four generals of the Military Council are two less in an instant, and the old minister said a disrespectful word, such a sudden change, if something happens, it is not a good thing for the stability of the central capital? ”

Jing Yutian was slightly shocked: "Lord Du, what do you mean?" ”

Du Ruting's words stopped: "Your Highness, even if the case of Tianleizhu is suppressed by Your Majesty, Your Highness still has to be careful of the people who make trouble, the old man has a feeling, it seems that someone is deliberately pushing the waves in secret, wanting to make the capital fall into chaos..."

"Who dares to be so bold?" Jing Yutian was furious: "Jing Yuyin? Jing Yuke? ”

"I don't know!" Du Ruting shook his head: "Let's talk about it in detail, His Royal Highness King Qin is in charge of the Hexi Army, even if Yang Mao preserves him, but his nature is not in the imperial power, if His Royal Highness inherits the unification, the Hexi Army cannot be used like an arm, and the threat of King Qin is much greater than the Jianghuai power of His Royal Highness King Yan..."

"The second brother is more of a threat than the third brother? Lord Du, the second brother is a heroic man on the battlefield, on the political career, even if there is Yang Mao, this king also asks himself not to lose, on the contrary, the third brother Jing Yuke is deeply hidden, since he received the Jianghuai ten years ago, he has governed it like an iron bucket, and there are more than 100,000 Huainan troops under his command, how can such a threat be smaller than the second brother? ”

"Your Royal Highness, although the strength of King Yan is huge, but the general of the Hexi Army is the King of Qin, who is the number one general in the world, just ask, who can fight with King Qin on the way to the army now? Moreover, if there is any change in His Royal Highness King Yan, his Jianghuai forces are still separated from the central capital by mountains and rivers, and he will not be able to threaten His Royal Highness for a while, but the Hexi army. I have to guard against it! ”

Du Ruting was scheming and calculated clearly, and analyzed the pros and cons clearly: "Your Highness, the case of smuggling Tianlei Zhu from Haiji Commercial Goods Company must be one of the other princes, so His Royal Highness must not get involved in it, it is best to think of a way to entangle King Qin, he has been issued an edict by His Majesty, the next step is to cut his military power, as long as there is no Hexi Army, His Royal Highness King Qin will not be afraid, and His Royal Highness will be able to take charge of Hexi, Northern Xinjiang, and Zhongdu Prefecture, and deal with King Yan with all his might!" ”

Hearing this, Jing Yutian pondered darkly, Du Ruting thought for a while, and then admonished: "Your Highness, you can't hesitate any longer in this matter, Chen Dingshuo, the head of the capital, has already turned over the Tianlei Zhu case again, and also involved the capital of Zhongshu Pavilion and many courtiers under his command, and also involved the soldiers of Emperor Xiaowu, if you don't take this opportunity to stabilize yourself, in case Your Majesty... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

"Lord Du, let King Ben think again!"

"Ugh..."

Du Ruting saw Jing Yutian's appearance, and sighed in his heart, if His Royal Highness the eldest prince could be broad-minded and wise, I am afraid that he would have inherited the unification long ago, but he would always be jealous at critical moments, and this is also the root of Emperor Xia'an's delay in choosing him.

At this time, Jing Yutian came to report to Wang Jun: "Your Highness, something has happened!" ”

"What?"

"I just got the news from the capital government that Han Chengsheng, the secretary of the country, died in the mansion for no reason, and found out a large number of account books that secretly controlled the salt and iron of Haiji merchants, and many of them entered the letters of His Royal Highness King Yan, and now, the Zhongshu, Taifu, and Jiumen Governors have sent people to investigate thoroughly!"

"Who did that?" Jing Yutian was suddenly shocked, and Du Ruting thought for a while, and said urgently: "Your Highness, quickly, quickly send someone to the capital prison!" Otherwise, Chang Qilian will be murdered! As soon as he dies, His Royal Highness's communication correspondence with him will be deliberately found out! ”

This remark made Jing Yutian suddenly sweat coldly, but the situation changed urgently, and before he sent someone to Chang Qilian's mansion and detention place, Hu Yu, the pastoral supervisor of the capital government and the temporary deputy of Chang Cheng, had already ascended the mansion.

"Why are they here?"

"Your Highness, it's late, it must have happened to Chang Qilian!"

Sure enough, Hu Yu came to the front and knelt down to execute the law: "Your Highness Chitose, the lower official Hu Yu came to investigate the case of Lord Chang Qilian in Fenglu!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Wang Jun stepped forward: "His Royal Highness King Qi is something you can offend when you wait for a lowly official!" Let you always come! ”

"My lord is angry, Chen Dingshuo, the original Chang Cheng, was convicted and imprisoned, and the next official temporarily took the position of Chang Cheng!"

Hu Yu got up and presented a copy of some of the letters he copied from Chang Qilian's mansion: "Your Highness, these can be recognized..."

With just one glance, Jing Yutian stepped back from Wang Jun, he took a moment to rest, and said, "This king... Go with you! ”

Out of the Qi Palace, Jing Yutian had not gone far with Hu Yu, Huang An arrived, looking at the situation in front of him, Huang An stopped Hu Yu.

"Lord Governor, the subordinate Hu Yu, according to the law, the chief inspector Qi Lian died in prison in vain! I would like to invite Your Highness to go to the Metropolitan Government to talk about it! ”

"No need!" Huang An scolded, and Hu Yu was stunned for a moment. An hour ago, Han Chengsheng and Chang Qilian were both killed, and the Jiumen Governor, Zhongshu Pavilion, and Taifu Pavilion jointly ordered to inspect the case, why did it change now?

"Lord Chief, the lower officials don't understand what you mean?" Hu Yu was suspicious, and Jing Yutian had already greeted him: "Manager Huang!" ”

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has been summoned by the Qianqing Palace, come with me!"

These words made Jing Yutian stunned for a moment, but Huang An was the first person in Emperor Xia'an's close service, and his words represented the emperor's words in a sense, Hu Yu thought for a moment, and after smelling the smell, he quickly stepped aside, so as not to be a substitute for the ghost under the surging wind.
