Chapter 377 A generation of calligraphers
The fifth prince picked up the letter paper suspiciously, one by one, one by one, all of them were letters exchanged between him and other officials, and there was no elegance of literati in between the lines, slandering and belittling the prince and the emperor everywhere, and there were a few letters that did not hide the ambition to compete for the throne, not to mention that sooner or later he would replace the prince as the new emperor, promising that as long as he followed him, there would be many benefits. There are also a few letters that correspond with the Zhennan army, plotting to discuss the death of the prince.
The fifth prince didn't know where these letters came from, and none of them were written by him, but the handwriting was indeed his own. Emperor Chen Guifei literati family background, very good at writing calligraphy, but also created the "Guifei style" this calligraphy style, the five princes handwriting inherited his mother is a generation of calligraphy at a young age, handwriting is very distinctive, others can not learn. But the handwriting on these letters is exactly the same as his, and even the little habits of his writing have not been omitted.
"It's... This... This is indeed not written by Erchen..."The five princes were dumbfounded.
"Can't you recognize your own handwriting?" The emperor sneered. He is old, looking at his son who is in his youth, as a parent, he wants his child to grow up strong and excel, and surpass himself, but as an emperor, he will not allow anyone to challenge his authority. He has seen what the fifth prince and the third prince have done in these years, whether it was to train the prince in his early years, but he was so bold that he killed the heir he designated, which was a provocation that he could not tolerate.
"Xiao's Chengqing, disrespectful to his brother, mutilating his siblings, vainly trying to rebel and rebel, his people are disloyal and unfilial, and they want to trap my Xiao's Jiangshan Society in injustice. abolished the status of the five princes and demoted them to concubines, so that they and their families were exiled outside the customs and were not allowed to return to Beijing for life. "No..."The Fifth Emperor's eyes widened, "Father Emperor don't..."
"Go ahead."
The emperor waved his hand tiredly, and several guards stepped forward to drag up the five princes who were crying incessantly, regardless of whether they would hurt him or not, the prince who was demoted to a concubine was a phoenix with a hair, not even a chicken.
Located in the alley next door to Prince Ying's Mansion not far from the Five Princes' Mansion was seized overnight, the family members cried to the sky, the emperor issued a holy decree, the former high-ranking princesses, side concubines, and concubines have all changed from high-ranking people to the most inferior family members, the father of the five princesses, Prime Minister Chen, knelt on the Jinluan Hall to mourn and plead, but it was useless, and the usually gentle emperor rarely hardened his heart this time.
Compared with the gloomy clouds and mist on the Five Princes' Mansion, Prince Ying's Mansion is leisurely, just got a large sum of money, the burned West Garden is being renovated, and the large piece of flesh and blood in the courtyard of the nave has already been cleaned up, Fang Liangzhen is wearing a royal fur and sits in the pavilion drinking tea and appreciating the snow, the pavilion is covered with a snow tent, and a few pots of charcoal fire burn the entire pavilion warm, this is the magnificent nave garden, not at all like the place where the assassins just made trouble a few days ago. Fang Liangzhen still had palpitations when she looked at the smooth floor tiles below, closed her eyes, and the scene appeared vividly in front of her.
Severed limbs, internal organs, the smell of blood, incessant wails, and the dead eyes in the pit.
Purgatory on earth is nothing more than that.
"Gross..."
Waved away the maid who stepped forward to care, Fang Liangzhen swallowed another sip of tea, the fresh aroma of flower tea still failed to stop her from regurgitating, this is the royal struggle for power, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, if she doesn't step on other people's bones today to climb up, she will become a corpse tomorrow, even if she was a very good friend with the concubine of the fifth prince before she got married, even if she knew that most of the people buried in the bluestone bricks were just innocent people who obeyed people's orders.
Qingjiang told her that this is war, and it has just begun, and if she wants to be the woman behind the prince and protect their home, she must survive.
The crown prince fell off the cliff and the bones remained, the five princes fell, the three princes and one party dominated the court, and the government almost became a hall of words, many officials of the original five princes and one faction defected, and the neutral faction gradually began to sway, and the government began to stabilize inexplicably.
The three princes were born as military generals, and the three princes were also quite proud and conceited with a martial arts atmosphere, he disdained to deal with the civil officials Wen Zou Zou, and he also disdained to bully the orphans and widows of the British Prince's Mansion, for him, those were old and weak women and children. Thanks to this, Prince Ying's Mansion was able to have time to breathe, and it also allowed Qingjiang to have time to arrange more things.
He changed back into men's clothes, strengthened all the training of the hidden army, replaced the timid people on the day of the night attack and went back to the hot spring inn to make weapons, and bought a small civilian hut near the British Prince's Palace.
"Why did you buy such a small house?" Zeiss was accustomed to it, and looked down on this kind of small, narrow commoner house without a garden pavilion.
Qingjiang ignored him, and regretted a little that he had brought up a stupid person to be his deputy.
Thanks to the blessing of the three princes, this year has been quite peaceful, the imperial capital is as lively as ever, everyone has a happy smile on their faces, except for the five princes who are inexplicably unknown before the exile, there is not much other turmoil. Fa Yanbo used the business Tao to send a message back, only four very simple words "all is safe", and a dried purple jasmine was attached.
"It's a flower again..."The Hidden Army didn't want to guess anymore, a group of people rolled their eyes and continued to go back to work, they couldn't understand it horizontally and vertically, and they couldn't guess why.
"What do you mean this time?" Fang Liangzhen asked Qingjiang.
"We need to be cautious and careful."
Looking at the purple jasmine, Qingjiang was thoughtful.
After the New Year, the early court will be held as scheduled, a new year, a new government, and a new direction in the government.
The most powerful of the seven princes in the world died, exiled one, and the remaining one was almost the most certain candidate for the prince, and the three princes in the court can almost be said to be calling for wind and rain, and no one cares about it.
In fact, the emperor doesn't like the three princes who are too rigid and self-serving, compared to the arrogant guy, his youngest son has won his heart in recent years, he reads well, writes in an orderly manner, and can already see the prototype of Renjun at a young age, but unfortunately the biological mother is only a daughter of a county order, and the position is not high, but these emperors don't care.
It's just that he just praised his youngest son a few times in the court, and not long after, the smart and clever young prince fell into the water inexplicably in three or nine days, and there was no palace person on the shore of the lake at the time of the incident, which led to the delay in rescue, and the little prince soaked in ice water for too long and fell ill, and his legs were not good, and a prince with five incomplete conditions was not qualified to win the world.
The emperor was almost angry, and he didn't have to think that he knew who the murderer was, and he just wanted to make a move, but he fell ill before the edict was drafted. The symptoms came suddenly, there was no sign beforehand, and not only him, but even the Queen Mother fell ill.
Will there be an epidemic when the weather is cold during the snowmelt season? The emperor didn't believe it at all, but the answer was the same after every imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, and the emperor couldn't, and he could only use medicine.
