The next morning, Inkook Mansion.

A four-wheeled carriage surrounded by guards stopped outside the gate of the house, and the two guards guarding the door suddenly changed their faces after glancing at the license plate number, one trotted up to meet it, and the other rushed into the hospital to make a report.

When the door of the carriage opened, King Yue stepped down from the carriage and entered the palace gate with the courtier's courtesy.

"The prince is here, and the prince has missed the distance, and he hopes to forgive his sins." In the front yard, King Yue met Chen Tai, who hurried to greet him, and bowed his hands to him.

"Chen Dudu, this king has something to discuss this time, and he can find a secluded place." King Yue smiled slightly and said quietly.

"Lord Wang, please." Chen Tai was slightly stunned when he heard this, he originally felt that it was a little unusual for King Yue to come suddenly, and when he saw that King Yue wanted to see him alone, he made a gesture of invitation sideways and led him to the study in the backyard.

"I don't know what the prince is doing this time?" Entered the study, and after waiting for the maid to serve the fragrant tea, Chen Taiping withdrew from the people in the house, and asked with a smile, feeling a little unclear about whether King Yue's intention was to be fierce or auspicious.

"Governor Chen, look at this." King Yue took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Chen Tai, then picked up a cup of tea and tasted it slowly.

Chen Tai didn't know what to do, picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, and soon his face changed greatly, and his eyes showed a shocked look, as if he had encountered an extremely terrible thing.

King Yue took in Chen Tai's reaction, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that Chen Tai was frightened by the things on the paper.

"Lord, although this prince served under the command of the King of Han during the Jing Dynasty, he has not had any contact with the King of Han since then, how can he support the little prince of the Han Palace's palace to ascend the throne?"

After reading the piece of paper, Chen Tai hurriedly got up, arched his hand at King Yue, bowed down nervously and said, "This is a frame-up, I hope the prince will see it." ”

It turned out that this piece of paper was Chen Tianlei's confession, but it was different from what King Yue said to Chen Tianlei in Jinyi Weibei Town, and there was some more content in the confession, that is, the reason why Chen Tianlei and others did this was to take the opportunity to support the little prince of the Han Dynasty to ascend the throne, and then become a hero of Conglong.

As for why he wanted to support the heirs of the King of Han, King Yue had found a perfect reason, that is, Emperor Yongle had personally accepted in public that he would appoint the King of Han as the crown prince in the future, and they just wanted to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, King Yue deceived Chen Tianlei, and supporting the heir of the prince of Han is a serious crime, and even the iron coupon to avoid death cannot save his life.

And this also scared Chen Tai enough, if he was implicated in this matter, he would definitely be beheaded all over the house, looking at history, the battle for the throne of all dynasties was full of blood, especially in this sensitive period now, Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely make an example, and then he will be in big trouble.

Chen Tai knows very well that a case like this kind of rebellion sometimes does not require conclusive evidence, as long as there is proof to prove that there is rebellion, he will be killed by the emperor, so even if he is wronged, as long as Chen Tianlei insists that he also participates, then he will definitely be executed in the end.

Unless...... Unless Li Yuntian, who has died in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, can come back from the dead, he can return his innocence with Li Yuntian's ability to judge the case like a god, but unfortunately Li Yuntian is already dead, and no one in the court has the ability to investigate this case.

"Chen Dudu, this king doesn't believe that you will participate in such a rebellious thing." King Yue saw that Chen Tai was frightened, so he put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and said, "But now that the Queen Mother and the Manchu Dynasty are paying attention to this case, this king can only tell the Queen Mother truthfully, if Chen Dudu has any personal grudges with Wen Yuanbo, it will be more beneficial to you." ”

Wen Yuanbo is Chen Tianlei, the meaning of King Yue is obvious, if Chen Tai and Chen Tianlei had any festivals before, it will become a reason for Chen Tai to defend himself, in order to get rid of the suspicion of rebellion.

"Lord Wang, although there is friction between the pro-army and the Beijing army in the capital, it is only some minor disputes, usually the people below have already settled it, and this father and Wen Yuanbo do not have any grievances." The corners of Chen Tai's mouth showed a wry smile, since the pro-army can be described as the emperor's imperial army, no one usually provokes the nobles in the pro-army.

"That's a problem." King Yue's brows immediately furrowed, which meant that Chen Tai had no strong evidence to get rid of suspicion.

"Lord Wang, you have to save your next life, you are really wronged." Chen Tai, who knew about this, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and knelt in front of King Yue, and pleaded.

Chen Taineng sat in the high position of the left deputy governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and naturally had rich social experience, and the reason why King Yue gave him this confession today instead of handing it over to Empress Dowager Zhang and the officials who supervised the trial was clearly showing favor to him, so if he rejected King Yue's kindness, he would be asking for his own hardship.

"Ren Guogong, what do you mean, hurry up." Seeing this, King Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Tai, and secretly felt happy in his heart, it seemed that Chen Tai had taken the bait.

"If the prince doesn't agree, then he won't get up." Chen Tai didn't get up, but looked at King Yue with an anxious expression, "As long as the prince can be saved this time, then in the future, only the prince will look forward."

"This ......" King Yue's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of imperceptible light, he was waiting for Chen Tai's words, it seems that Chen Tai is quite aware of current affairs, and then frowned, deliberately pretending to be difficult.

"Lord Wang, you are wronged below, please ask the prince to clear your grievances." Chen Tai knew that King Yue was just a prevarication, so he hurriedly pleaded again.

"For the sake of your loyalty to Daming, this king will help you this time." King Yue seemed to be moved by Chen Tai's sincerity, and after hesitating for a moment, he frowned and said, "But the risk of doing so is extremely high, once the outside world knows, this king will also be involved." ”

"As long as the prince helps him get rid of this right and wrong, he is willing to serve the prince as a dog and horse." Hearing this, Chen Tai hurriedly swore that he knew that he had to pay the corresponding price.

"Renguo Gong, you are wrong, we are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we need you to serve the Ming Dynasty instead of the king." King Yue smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to correct Chen Tai's statement.

"The prince is dedicated to the public, and he is deeply admired." Chen Tai naturally would not take King Yue's words seriously, if King Yue really wanted to be loyal to Daming, he would not exonerate him, although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say this on his lips, and quietly slapped King Yue on the back.

"Renguo Gong, now that the court situation is complicated, some people are secretly making waves, and they want to take advantage of the departure of Emperor Daxing to disrupt the government, this king and the queen mother need you to stabilize the situation of the dynasty and ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty." King Yue was secretly used in his heart, but his face was full of expression, and he said to Chen Tai seriously.

"I must do my best to ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty." Hearing that King Yue mentioned the Empress Dowager Chen Tai was stunned for a moment, and realized that Empress Dowager Zhang was now on the side of King Yue, that is to say, what King Yue wanted to do was basically what Empress Dowager Zhang meant, and then hurriedly replied with a stern expression.

"Good!" A smile appeared on the corner of King Yue's mouth, and he picked up Chen Tianlei's confession and put it on the fire to ignite, so that the confession was quickly extinguished.

Although the confession was turned into ashes, Chen Tai was not happy at all, because he knew very well that if King Yue needed it, he could have it again, and now he could only avoid the catastrophe in front of him by following King Yue.

At noon, Taifu Temple, Warden Office.

"I just got a piece of news that King Yue went to the Renguo Mansion." Li Yuntian was called by Hu Yitu to have lunch, when he arrived, the wine and food were already on the table, Hu Yitu poured him a glass of wine and asked, "Guess what, why did King Yue go to Renguo Gong at this time?" ”

"King Yue is now trying Fang Liang's case, unless ......" Li Yuntian felt a little strange when he heard this, in his opinion, King Yue didn't seem to have any need to contact Chen Tai now, and then frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Unless it is related to the case." ”

"I think so too, it seems that King Yue has the handle of Renguo Gong in his hands." Hu Yitu smiled slightly when he heard this, raised the wine glass in his hand at Li Yuntian, and the two touched it and dried it up.

"First Wen Yuanbo, then Renguo Gong, if you take into account the defenders transferred from Juyong Pass, King Yue's intentions are obvious." Li Yuntian picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Hu Yitu, and said with a wry smile as he poured it.

If Li Yuntian did not guess wrong, King Yue came for the military power of the capital, first used Fang Liang to get rid of Chen Tianlei, the deputy governor of the pro-army capital protection mansion, and then took the left deputy governor Chen Tai of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

However, what made Li Yuntian puzzled was that King Yue was just an idle prince in the capital, and even if he wanted to make friends, he would make friends with the magnates in the capital rather than the guards of Juyong Pass, and Yang Yungui's intelligence network did not find out that King Yue had any dealings with Fan Yong, the Marquis of Wuzhong, who guarded Juyong Pass.

In addition, the recent series of events in the capital are obviously carefully planned, and it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to set up today's situation, and it takes a lot of time, but the king of Yue has no motive to do so.

The reason is very simple, before the death of Emperor Xuande, King Yue did not have the slightest chance to covet the Ming Dynasty, and once the prince became a young man who could manage politics in a few years, he did not have the possibility of getting involved in the dragon chair, and King Yue could not know that Emperor Xuande would die young, so it was too late to arrange these.

From this point of view, all this qiē is the handiwork of the mastermind behind the scenes, and Li Yuntian has to admire that the other party has put so much effort into setting up this game, and the timing can be said to be just right.

"If Wen Yuanbo is convicted, then it is very likely that his pro-army will be transferred out of the imperial city." Hu Yitu picked up the wine glass and smelled the aroma of wine, and said methodically, "At that time, the garrisons of Juyong Pass are likely to take over from them to garrison the imperial city." ”

"In other words, there must be something wrong with Fan Yong, Marquis of Wuzhong, otherwise King Yue would not do everything possible to send the soldiers of Juyong Pass into the imperial city!" Li Yuntian frowned and said Hu Yitu's extraneous meaning, at that time, the defenders of Juyong Pass were the only troops that would let Empress Dowager Zhang rest assured that they would guard the imperial city.

"Looks like you're busy." Hu Yitu smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand at Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian's face showed a look of helplessness, and he picked up his wine glass and touched it with Hu Yitu, if this trouble is not handled well, it will definitely be full of corpses and rivers of blood.
