Chapter 450: The Yellow Sparrow is behind
After Prince Xuanyuan Hao got the news brought back by Liu Lin, he slapped his palm on the table in front of him.
"Didn't you say foolproof?" He looked at Liu Lin coldly and said, "Don't you know that something happens in this capital that will attract special attention?" "If Wei Qingluan is crushed to death directly, then it's okay to say, when the time comes, it will be worth pushing out one or two substitutes for the dead ghosts.
Now Wei Qingluan didn't lose a single hair, but the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu jumped out. The goal was not achieved, but Xuanyuan Yu, who was his sworn enemy, gained a good reputation for loving the people. And because this matter involves the safety of the four princes, I am afraid that it will not end well.
"The prince is angry," Liu Lin also thought a lot on the way back, but he knew that he could only calm Xuanyuan Hao's anger first, so he said: "The subordinates don't ask the prince for forgiveness, but ask the prince to think about how to deal with this matter first. ”
Xuanyuan Hao was really annoyed, since the night of the Lantern Festival, when the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu set off fireworks overwhelmed him to make people play acrobatics, he inexplicably felt that the emperor's gaze on him was a little scrutinized.
Could it be that the old man is dissatisfied with himself as a prince in his heart?
Therefore, this is also the reason why the crown prince asked Empress Xue to help envelop Wei Baozhu and win over General Lin's mansion. One more person who can play a pivotal role in front of the emperor stands in his ranks, and there is more strength.
But now, the dangerous man Wei Qingluan has not only not been eliminated, but has become what he is now, how can he not be annoyed.
But annoyance is annoyance, and Xuanyuan Hao also knows that this matter must be dealt with. If it is done properly, at least people will not think that the person behind this matter is themselves. Thinking about it, he frowned and said to Liu Lin, "Did you leave any traces?" ”
"No," Liu Lin immediately shook his head and said, "My subordinates are looking for the street that must be passed from the three alleys to the General's Mansion, and the archway was also done a few days ago." At that time, the engine gate was also made by his subordinates, and no other unrelated people were present. ”
"That's good," Xuanyuan Hao still approves of Liu Lin's work. If you sweep away the traces, then you don't need to be too impatient.
Xuanyuan Hao frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Now that the fourth brother almost had an accident, I, as an elder brother, naturally have to care about it, you ask someone to prepare some supplements, and we will go to him now to have a look." "Although I wish Xuanyuan Yu would die immediately, I still have to save face in front of people.
Xuanyuan Yu had an accident, and he, the elder brother who was the prince, should naturally be concerned, besides, the first time he went to see Xuanyuan Yu, one was to show concern, and the other was to take the opportunity to clear the suspicion.
Knowing that Xuanyuan Hao didn't have time to investigate his mistakes now, Liu Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and went down to make arrangements. What he wants is to make meritorious contributions, as long as the prince gives this opportunity, then maybe it will be fine in the future.
The incident that happened on the street was also reported to the emperor.
The news came from the emperor's most powerful eunuch, Liu Gonggong.
At this time, the emperor had just returned from discussing with a few courtiers in the imperial study, and had just changed into a dragon robe in the Shenlong Palace where he lived, and he had not had time to rest.
Seeing that the emperor was a little tired, Gonggong Liu, who followed back, quietly ordered a small chamberlain to serve the ginseng soup, waved the others out with a wave of his hand, and then told the matter.
Father-in-law Liu was fair and told the whole thing impartially. It's just that when the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu passed by the street in the morning, the roof of the stone archway in the center of the street suddenly appeared in a situation, and then smashed down.
At that time, the car of the four princes went to the vicinity of the archway, but it happened that a car pushing things in front of it fell in front, and a car pulled by a mad cow appeared behind.
At that time, the emperor had just picked up the secret report in the box on the table to read. The emperor has a habit that family and state affairs are handled in the imperial study, and he has people put some officials and princes, as well as the secret affairs of several princes, on the side of the dormitory.
When he heard Gonggong Liu finish the matter, he immediately slammed the secret report in his hand on the table.
With a cold snort, the emperor looked at Gonggong Liu and said, "There is a car blocking the road in front, and there is a mad cow in the back, tell me, there will be such a coincidence?" ”
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Gonggong Liu has been serving by his side since the emperor was the hidden dragon, and he is naturally well versed in this. Therefore, he always investigates all the conditions before telling the emperor.
This is also the reason why he has always been used by the emperor's side.
"Back to the emperor," Gonggong Liu bowed his body and offered the soup that the emperor had just sent over at the right temperature while he was speaking, and took a few steps back before continuing: "Naturally, there will be no such coincidence. ”
"Say," the emperor drank the ginseng soup inside, put the bowl on the table, and said, "You know something." ”
"Your Majesty," Gonggong Liu lowered his head and frowned, and said without any expression: "The old slave dared to send the Dragon Imperial Guard to assist in the investigation, and found that it was Liu Lin next to the prince who did the work on the stone archway, and the person who wanted to stone to death was Wei Qingluan, the favorite of the five princes, Miss Wei. The fourth prince was sent by the fifth prince to ask for assistance. "These things involve the crown prince and the two princes, and the stakes are very high, so he naturally doesn't dare to say the slightest biased word.
Although the Dragon Imperial Guard is a hidden guard by the emperor's side, the emperor allows Gonggong Liu to call it when needed. Although it's only one or two, it's still the kind of last-class who doesn't have any power, but it's enough to accomplish a lot of things that ordinary people can't do.
The emperor glanced at Gonggong Liu and said, "Well, there are some things, if you need to, you can find a few more dragon guards to do things." "I'm afraid that I will need to let Gonggong Liu do more things in the future, so I must give him some rights appropriately.
"Master," Gonggong Liu looked up at the emperor, with a little bitter smile on his face, and said, "The slave is willing to just wait for you!" ”
only waits for the emperor, that is, there is no open and secret struggle between the prince and the prince. There was a time at this time, but it was a few years ago, when the crown prince and the fourth prince were not big, and their mothers and concubines were only concerned about consolidating their positions, and they couldn't make waves.
Naturally, the emperor didn't want their brothers to kill each other, but the road to the throne has always been bumpy and bloody. The capable are on.
Secretly sighing in his heart, the emperor sneered and said, "I hope they can compete with each other, or I really don't feel at ease if this big merchant is handed over to one person casually." ”
