Before dawn, Zhao Ruzheng's house was suddenly engulfed in flames, the raging fire engulfed the house covering an area of five acres, the flames swallowed the sky, the smoke was billowing, and the people who put out the fire came from all directions, but the people's firefighting was difficult to extinguish the fire, and finally affected more than a dozen families and burned it all together.

Looking at the fire engulfing their homes, the damaged people beat their chests and cried, while the sympathizers sighed, the worst was Zhao Ruzheng's family, even more than 20 servants, not a single one escaped, and all of them died in the fire.

But there are also many people who are suspicious, there is not a single cry for help when fighting the fire, this is very strange, is it possible that the people in Zhao Ruzheng's family are sleeping so dead? For a while, rumors spread that Zhao Ruzheng's family had been wiped out in advance, and arson was just a cover-up for the crime..... In the East Palace, the crown prince Fu Heng was squinting at the smoke burning in the distance, Zhao Ru's house was not far from the palace city, and the smoke could be seen.

"Your Highness!" Behind him came the voice of the chief of the guard, Xu Chong.

Huang Fuheng turned around and asked, "Is it done?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Zhao Ruzheng's family of twenty-four people, all of them were wiped out, and none of them were alive."

"Well done!"

Huang Fuheng's face showed a vicious expression, Zhao Ruzheng dared to betray him, he wanted the world to know that the person who betrayed him would not have a good end.

"What about the shrine maiden mother and son? Today should be the day to deliver medicine! ”

"Yes, their medicine has been refined last night, and it will be sent to Huaqing Palace this morning."

As soon as they finished speaking, there were footsteps running outside the door, and a little eunuch reported outside the door, "Your Highness, the Huaqing Palace has come to the decree, and the emperor has summoned His Highness to meet you!" ”

Huangfu Heng was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Is there any news from Gonggong Ma?" ”

Three days later, his father and all the civil and military officials will return to Luojing, so these three days will be the three days of his life and death, at this time, his father summoned him, which made Huang Fuheng tremble for a while.

According to the agreement with him Ma Yuanzhen, if a major incident occurs, Ma Yuanzhen will definitely remind him in some way, so is there any news of Ma Yuanzhen now?

"Back to His Royal Highness, there is no news from Gonggong Ma."

Huangfu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, Ma Yuanzhen had no news, indicating that the situation was not so serious, since his father had summoned him, he had to rush there immediately.

But after thinking about it, he still couldn't be careless, and he immediately ordered: "Let Li Mi meet me on the road." ”

Huangfu Heng tidied up a little, and then set off to Huaqing Palace, Huaqing Palace is about thirty miles away from Yongjing City, and you can arrive in an hour by riding a fast horse, but if you don't hurry and go, it will take at least half a day, and the key depends on what kind of surname is summoned.

His father summoned him with a yellow token, which is a token between emergency and non-emergency, and asked to arrive at Huaqing Palace within two hours, so Huang Fuheng was not in a hurry, and slowly drove towards Huaqing Palace in a car.

As soon as he got out of the city, the general Li Mi greeted him, and the day before yesterday, the East Palace Six Marshals Mansion changed its station again, no longer stationed in the imperial city, but stationed outside the city, this change made Huang Fuheng quite frightened, in this way, there were only two hundred guards in his East Palace, once something happened, he could only be captured.

General Li Mi is the general of the Sixth Rate Mansion of the East Palace, with 5,000 troops under his command, which is the luck of Huang Fuheng's misfortune, he doesn't understand why his father didn't replace Li Mi, thinking about it, he can only explain that his father left him a little leeway.

"What is the matter with Your Highness?" Li Mi asked outside the carriage by bowing down and clasping his fists.

"Let me ask you, can your army be called upon at any time?"

"The humble position must receive the emperor's gold medal before sending troops, if His Royal Highness calls it, it can only be used in the most urgent time, please be cautious."

"I know this!"

Huangfu Heng was really displeased, but he didn't dare to show it, and still said softly: "Father summoned me today, I don't know what happened, don't be careless, and finally transfer the army out in the name of training, I may call you at any time." ”

"The lowly government understands that the lowly army will train in the area around Bashang, and if Your Highness has an urgent matter, you can send someone to find me in Bashang."

Li Mi didn't dare to stay longer, saluted, and left in a hurry, Huangfu Heng kept watching him go away, so he ordered, "Go to Huaqing Palace!" ”

More than 100 guards escorted him to the Huaqing Palace.

Just as the crown prince Fu Heng left, a group of men and horses galloped towards the city gate, about more than 100 people, all embroidered guards and horses, led by a captain, he immediately carried a sack, judging from the shape of the sack, there should be a person inside.

The team of embroidered guards rode to the gate of the city and asked in a loud voice: "We are from Luojing, where is the embroidered guards?" ”

The soldiers defending the city said: "There are embroidered clothes and guards outside the city, which one are you looking for?" ”

"We're looking for General Shao."

"General Shao is in Chongrenfang, a yellow official office is!"

"Thank you!"

The embroidered guards and cavalry accelerated into the city gate and rushed towards Chongrenfang.

．．．．．．． The embroidered guard is located in Chongrenfang, close to the mansion of Uncle Shen, the military office just moved from the imperial city a month ago, because there was a major personnel change in the embroidered guard, the old Jiang Yan of the embroidered guard fell ill in Chenliu County, submitted a letter of resignation to the emperor, the resignation was approved, Jiang Yan has returned to his hometown, the emperor Huangfu Xuande immediately made personnel adjustments, Shao Jingwen was promoted to the general of the embroidered guard, which means that Uncle Shen was able to completely control the embroidered guard, and the embroidered guard also moved to Chongrenfang, both to facilitate the control of Uncle Shen, At the same time, it is more to protect Uncle Shen.

At this time, Shao Jingwen was not in the yamen, but in Uncle Shen's house, and he received urgent information to report to Uncle Shen.

Three days later, the imperial court will return to Luojing, and Uncle Shen's house is also a mess, full of large boxes that have been sorted out, and the people are busy nervously, although some of the boxes have been moved, but the things are still not finished.

In the study, Uncle Shen Guo blushed his face, sat on the chair and stared at the roof for a long time, he had just received the news of the Chuzhou incident, his son, his clansmen, and all his henchmen were arrested by Huangfu Wujin, and his power in Chuzhou was actually eradicated by Huangfu Wujin.

Uncle Shen Guo's heart was both angry and frightened, angry that he had heard that Huangfu Wujin and the crown prince had colluded, but he always didn't believe it, he always believed in his own judgment, the Liang royal family would never succumb to the prince, and Huangfu Wujin would not really be loyal to the prince, he was just using the prince.

But he never thought that Huangfu Wujin really colluded with the prince to exterminate his lair, which made him heartbroken, and it was he who accidentally harmed his family, and at this time he was full of worries about the safety of his family.

But he was more afraid in his heart, the prince actually started in Chuzhou first, but there was no sign or movement on Yongjing's side, what does this mean? Does this mean that the crown prince is about to have a coup d'état?

"Xiangguo, I think it's a bit strange here." Shao Jingwen on the side frowned.

"What's the matter?"

Uncle Shen Guo turned his mind back and asked Shao Jingwen: "Just say it directly, what's the problem?" ”

"I think it's very strange, why is the prince not moving at all, according to common sense, Huangfu Wujin set off an incident in Chuzhou, so the prince should be launched at the same time as him, but now five days have passed, there is no movement here in Yongjing, the prince doesn't know about it, I just got the news, the prince was edicted to go to Huaqing Palace, isn't the prince afraid that the emperor will know about it? With such a serious incident, he would be indifferent? Don't Sangkook think it's weird? ”

reminded Uncle Shen Guo in one sentence, it is a bit unreasonable, does this matter have nothing to do with the prince? But Huangfu Wujin clearly declared that he wanted everyone to be loyal to the crown prince, and it didn't mean much to him that he did this, why did he do this?

Uncle Shen Guo glanced at Shao Jingwen, and when he saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't help but be a little angry and said, "What time is it now, do you still want to swallow and vomit?" ”

"Yes! I feel that the real purpose of Huangfu Wujin is to stab the prince in the back, this matter should have nothing to do with the prince, he is actually forcing the emperor to abolish the prince. ”

Uncle Shen's eyes narrowed, as if there was some truth, only in this way can it be explained, why the prince here did not react, because the prince did not know about this matter at all.

"Then why did Huangfu Wujin do this? What good did the abolition of the crown prince do him? Uncle Shen asked again.

"I can't figure it out if the crown prince is abolished, the king of Chu is the biggest beneficiary, and the lowly position doesn't understand his motives."

As soon as he said that, Shao Jingwen's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes showed a look of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xiangguo..... You said that the emperor summoned the crown prince, could it be..."

Uncle Shen Guo: 'Ah! He stood up, yes, they all knew about it, could it be that the emperor didn't know? Could it be that the emperor is going to abolish the crown prince today?

Uncle Shen Guo trembled with excitement, if this is really the case, what is he still sitting here for?

He was just about to give an order, but at this moment, a family member rushed to the door to report, "General Shao, Luo Jing's embroidered guards urgently asked to see them, they have caught the leader of the Phoenix Society, and they have taken them out of the door, saying that there are major secrets. ”

Shao Jingwen was very upset in his heart, at this time, he couldn't take care of the leader of the Phoenix Society, he was about to wave their hands to let them go to the military office, Uncle Shen Guohui suddenly moved in his heart, he remembered that Huangfu Wujin seemed to have something to do with the Phoenix Society, could it be that the so-called major secrets were related to Huangfu Wujin?

He immediately ordered: "Order the embroidered guards to bring this man in!" ”

Shao Jingwen hurriedly said: "Xiangguo, now you should urgently protect the King of Chu, I am very worried that the crown prince will not be good for the King of Chu if he strikes first." ”

"Wait!"

Uncle Shen Guo waved his hand lightly, at this most critical moment, he calmed down, this is where he is far stronger than ordinary people, at the critical moment, he can stabilize himself.

"Don't worry, I think this person may have something to do with what happened in Chuzhou."
