The capital, Taifu Temple, the Warden Office.

Li Yuntian leaned on a pillar in the stable, holding a straw in his mouth, and looked at a tall horse in the stable, which was eating forage.

Recently, King Yue has taken advantage of the investigation of the cases of Chen Tianlei, Feng Changan and others to arrest the "same party" involved in the case in the capital, which has caused chickens and dogs to jump in the capital, and people are panicked, and they are even like the posture of the Hu Lan case back then.

Li Yuntian is now a little conflicted in his heart, he never imagined that King Yue would make such a big deal and implicate a large number of civil and military officials, if it goes on like this, it will really become the "Hu Lan case" of the Xuande Dynasty, which is definitely not a scene he wants to see.

However, since the planner who was hidden behind the scenes had not yet appeared, it was not yet the time for Li Yuntian to appear, otherwise he would definitely scare him away, and he might not be able to cause any ups and downs in the future.

Moreover, now that King Yue has won the trust of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and his momentum is flourishing, his sudden appearance will cause a lot of suspicion from the outside world, which is not conducive to solving the current matter, and it will cause the opposite effect.

Therefore, Li Yuntian now felt very distressed in his heart, although he was unwilling to sit back and watch King Yue set off a storm in the capital, but there was no good way to do it, so he could only watch silently.

"Now that there's a lot of commotion outside, when are you going to do it?" Hu Yitu came over with a bundle of hay and asked with a smile after putting it in the stable, he knew that Li Yuntian was in a depressed mood now.

At this moment, for a little-known petty official like Hu Yituan, he can get a good night's sleep, and no one will come to him for trouble as a "groom".

"Wait until they show their fox tails." Li Yuntian smiled a little helplessly, and then Yu Feng turned to look at Hu Yitu, "I don't understand, why did that person want to wipe out all the officials who had an affair with the King of Han back then, is it just trying to mess up the situation?" ”

"Will he have a grudge against the King of Han?" Hu Yitu knew that the "person" in Li Yuntian's mouth referred to the person who planned a series of events in the capital behind the scenes, and said after pondering for a while, how could he think of framing the prince of Han who was reduced to a commoner.

"It doesn't feel like it, if you wanted to seek revenge on King Han, you would have avenged it a long time ago, and you won't wait until today." Li Yuntian shook his head, he had also thought that the other party might have an enmity with the King of Han so he came to frame the prince of Han, but there were many ways to frame the prince of Han, and there was no need to plan so many things so much.

"Perhaps, the prince of Han is just a pretense, and his real purpose is to help King Yue ascend the throne." Hu Yitu also felt that this possibility was not small, so he opened his mouth and said, this is the most straightforward explanation.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but nod when he heard this, maybe the simplest answer is the truth, but people like him who have usually experienced too much deception and deceit don't believe in such a simple truth, and they always habitually think of conspiracy.

"Uncle Hu, how many Juyong Guan guards have entered the imperial city." Although Li Yuntian wanted to find out the concern between the other party and the Han King, he was not allowed to do so in terms of time now, and then asked after a deep sigh.

"The 50,000 Juyong Pass garrisons all entered the imperial city, and Wen Yuanbo's pro-army withdrew to the outer city." Hu Yitu heard the words and sued Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

"Fifty thousand!" Li Yuntian's brows suddenly frowned slightly when he heard this.

Among the 22 guards under the jurisdiction of the pro-army capital protectorate, there are only 110,000 troops when they are full, and they are usually not full, that is, about 100,000, including the honor guard that cannot fight like the Jinyi Guard, and if other factors are removed, the number of troops that can fight is only 90,000.

If all the 50,000 troops in Juyongguan enter the imperial city, then the pro-army under Cui An will be suppressed in terms of troops, and the most important thing is that the army in Juyongguan has been reorganized last year, and its combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the pro-army, and once the battle starts, the pro-army has no chance of winning.

"The other party is stepping by step, interlocking, I'm afraid no one will think that there is anything wrong with this move." Hu Yitu smiled slightly, opened the bundle of straw and came to the guillotine.

"In this way, Marquis Wuzhong should have an affair with King Yue, but I really can't find any intersection between the two, and I can't find a reason for Marquis Wuzhong to betray Emperor Daxing, Emperor Daxing is not thin on him." Seeing this, Li Yuntian came to the guillotine, lifted the guillotine, and began to cook grass with the assistance of Hu Yitu.

If someone saw him like this at this time, they would never have thought that the rustic bearded man in front of him would be the dignified Zhenguo Gong.

"The reason why Marquis Wu Zhonghou did this is because of two reasons, either he was tempted by power or coerced." Hu Yitu methodically sent the forage under the guillotine, and analyzed the reasons for Li Yuntian.

"Marquis Wu Zhong would take such a big risk?" Li Yuntian had already thought of these two points, but he couldn't judge why Fan Yong would do this for a while, you must know that once this move fails, what awaits Fan Yong is to raid his family and exterminate his family, and the price is too great.

"Or maybe he's threatened." Then, Li Yuntian thought of another reason, and muttered to himself, but what kind of threat made Fan Yong do something to rebel.

"I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to sort out for a while, if King Yue wants to seize the throne of the crown prince, have you thought about how to get the prince out of the palace, it is difficult for the three thousand Xiaowu troops to block the well-equipped Juyong Pass defenders who are several times their size."

Hu Yitu saw Li Yuntian thinking about Fan Yong's intention to do this with a depressed face, so he said with a smile, "Even if the Xiaowu army can block the defenders of Juyong Pass, if the other party attacks with fire, the prince will be in danger." ”

"I have already thought of a way out for the prince, and I will be able to evacuate from the palace safely." Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, and said confidently that as long as the crown prince could be rescued, then King Yue's conspiracy would be shattered.

"I hope this incident won't hurt Da Ming's vitality." Hu Yitu smiled when he saw this, and then sighed, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been two wars between uncles and nephews competing for the throne, and I don't know how many people will lose their heads this time.

Li Yuntian smiled helplessly, I'm afraid Emperor Xuande would never have thought that it was not his "Zhuge Liang" who posed a threat to the crown prince's throne, but the prince's uncle.

Zhenguo Mansion, backyard.

"Eldest sister, third sister has a letter." Zhou Yuting, who was dressed in a vegetarian body, was stroking the official robe that Li Yuntian had worn with red eyes, and the green calyx, who was also wearing filial piety clothes, pushed the door and walked in, and handed over a letter to Zhou Yuting, which was sent by Chen Ningning.

Zhou Yuting was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly opened it to check, Chen Ningning, Zheng Wanrou and Liu Wenqing did not return to Beijing to attend Li Yuntian's funeral, which made her very worried, for fear that the three of them would do something stupid impulsively.

After reading the letter, Zhou Yuting's eyes couldn't help but show a wry smile and handed the letter to the green calyx.

Chen Ningning told Zhou Yuting something in the letter, and King Ning had already sent someone to contact her, sympathizing with Li Yuntian's plight, hinting that he was willing to help Chen Ningning, support Chen Ningning to seek justice from the imperial court, and wanted to hear what Zhou Yuting meant.

Obviously, Chen Ningning was hesitating to cooperate with King Ning, and once he cooperated with King Ning, it would mean that a war for the throne would break out in the Ming Dynasty.

Not only that, Chen Ningning also told Zhou Yuting another thing, that is, Nasha has already contacted her, and the two are together now.

It turned out that Nasha, who was in Guangxi and Jiaozhi Governor's Mansion, knew the news of Li Yuntian's trouble in the capital from the "Ming Xin Bao", so she naturally couldn't sit still, so she got up and went north to Beijing.

Although Chen Ningning did not say it to Zhou Yuting, her meaning was already very clear, Nasha must have avenged Li Yuntian, otherwise she would definitely come to the capital to mourn Li Yuntian.

"Big sister, they won't do stupid things, right?" Lu Cao felt very helpless after reading the letter, she also wanted to avenge Li Yuntian, but she had to think about so many people up and down the Zhenguo Mansion, so her mood was very complicated.

"As long as the sixth sister and the children are still in the capital, then they shouldn't act rashly." Zhou Yuting shook her head, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she was sure that Lei Ting had sent a letter to Chen Ningning and others before entering Beijing, and she should not act rashly before the situation was clear, besides, there were still children of Chen Ningning and others in the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Eldest sister, it's not good, the golden knife of the princess is gone." At this moment, Lianxiang suddenly walked in in a hurry and said with an anxious expression.

"What?" Zhou Yuting and Lu Calyx were taken aback when they heard this, and they all got up and looked at their faces, with a shocked look on their faces.

After Li Yuntian's first seven days, the coffin containing his robe and the gold-handled gold-sheathed embroidered spring knife was moved to the ancestral hall in the mansion, and Zhou Yuting, Lu Cao and others took turns to keep vigil for Li Yuntian day and night in the ancestral hall, without leaving the coffin.

In addition, since Li Yuntian's accident, Zhou Yuting has strengthened the guards in the mansion, and there are more than a dozen big men responsible for guarding the small courtyard where the ancestral hall is located, and outsiders have no way to go to the ancestral hall at all, not to mention opening the coffin under the noses of Zhou Yuting and Lu Cao and others to steal the imperial golden knife.

Lian Xiang found that the imperial golden knife was missing purely accidental, today it was her turn to guard Li Yuntian's spirit, because she missed Li Yuntian in her heart, so she asked people to open the coffin lid and wanted to hold the imperial golden knife to complain about the pain of lovesickness, but unexpectedly found that the imperial golden knife originally wrapped in yellow silk cloth was actually transferred by someone and replaced with an ordinary embroidered spring knife, if you don't go to the yellow silk cloth, you can't tell the truth from the fake.

Since Li Yuntian's bones were still in the Punishment Department, the lid of his coffin was not nailed, which made it easy for outsiders to take out the imperial golden knife from the coffin.

"Is there a clue to who stole the Imperial Golden Knife of the Prime Minister?" In shock, Midori came back to her senses and said to Lianxiang with a concerned expression.

"The lid of this coffin has never been opened since it was closed, and I don't know when someone adjusted the bag." Lian Xiang shook her head, an anxious look appeared on her face, if this Imperial Golden Sword was lost, there would be no way to explain it to Li Yuntian under the Nine Springs.

The most important thing is that the other party can steal the Imperial Golden Sword under everyone's nose without knowing it, this is simply terrifying, doesn't it mean that it can easily take their lives? R1148
