Huayang is the younger sister of the crown prince Xiao Ze's mother, and a year ago, he begged the emperor and said that he wanted to marry Shen Yi'an, the young secretary of Dali Temple. So, the emperor summoned Shen Yi'an into the palace to inquire privately, but Shen Yi'an refused the emperor's son-in-law, saying that the family had a young brother who was not in good health, and he had no intention of marrying a wife, especially Princess Huayang, and he didn't dare to climb high.

In fact, the emperor also asked, after all, Huayang is the prince's sister, if he marries her to Shen Yi'an, then he will give Shen Yi'an to the East Palace.

He was still in his prime, and he never thought of giving up power so early, and his close ministers of the Son of Heaven naturally could not give it to the East Palace.

However, the emperor and the queen have a deep relationship, since the queen has been killed, the emperor has not been established for many years, for the two children left by the queen, he is also very fond of the prince, in addition to the prince's love, but also strict teaching, to the princess of Huayang, then only the favor remains, is all his daughters, the most favored one.

Therefore, if Shen Yi'an also wants Princess Shang, although the emperor will be unhappy and not agree, he may delay it for a few years, and then wait until the day when he is old enough to give up power, maybe he can satisfy the two of them.

However, since Shen Yi'an has no intention, then he has no worries and doesn't have to think about it.

After all, the emperor is first and foremost the emperor, the king of a country, and after that, the father.

Now that Xiao Ze brought up the old matter again, the emperor's anger had subsided a little, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?" ”

"Back to my father, my sons don't dare to lie to my father." Xiao Ze thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, "My father knows, Huayang likes Shen Shaoqing, and once begged my father, and my father said that Shen Shaoqing refused, but Huayang didn't give up, and asked for Erchen again, Erchen...... When the son saw her crying tears, he agreed. ”

Although the emperor didn't quite believe that Xiao Ze would stare at the outside of Shen Yi'an's mansion for Huayang's affairs after thinking about it behind closed doors, since Xiao Ze said so, he would also believe it, "I will go to Huayang to verify this matter, if your words are false and deceive me, I want you to look good." ”

Xiao Ze was excited, "Yes, the sons dare not deceive their father." ”

Huayang did beg him, and he wasn't lying, but he helped a few times, but Shen Yi'an was alert, but it didn't work.

The emperor looked at him with a calm face and warned, "I tell you, Shen Yi'an, you are not allowed to move, if you let me know, you dare to move Shen Yi'an, just like Chen Qiaoyue, I will abolish you." ”

Xiao Ze said in panic, "The sons don't dare, the sons know that they are wrong, and they ask their father for forgiveness." ”

This request is naturally what Chen Qiaoyue is asking for.

The emperor didn't seem to bother to look at him anymore, so he raised his feet and left, "Continue to think about it behind closed doors!" Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the East Palace, so that everyone in the East Palace can be in peace. ”

Xiao Ze nodded obediently, "Erchen obeys." ”

Continuing to think about it behind closed doors, it is better than a heavy punishment, how happy he was for the emperor to come to the East Palace just now, and how much he is looking forward to the emperor leaving quickly.

The emperor didn't want to stay longer, he came like the wind, walked like the wind, and left the East Palace in a blink of an eye.

After the emperor left, Xiao Ze got up from the ground, his face was iron-blue, "What the hell is going on?" Come on, go check it out for me. ”

After the emperor left, he quietly sent a few people to check on the people who were sent to stare at Shen Yi'an's mansion.

Half an hour later, the people sent out were found in the East Palace, and they knelt on the ground very unjustly to ask for guilt, "Your Highness, Shen Yi'an suddenly returned to Shen's house with the Ouchi guards, fortunately, I didn't catch the Ouchi guards when I noticed that something was wrong." ”

Xiao Ze was furious, "What a Shen Yi'an!" It turned out to be Shen Yi'an! ”

He gritted his teeth, "Shen Yi'an, this palace will kill him sooner or later." ”

When he sat in that position, the first one killed Xu Zizhou first, and the second killed Shen Yi'an, Ling Hua was not counted, because, without waiting for him to ascend the throne, before he ascended the throne, he would kill Ling Hua. If he doesn't kill Ling Hua, he is afraid that if he continues like this, his position as prince will not be guaranteed.

Jiang Hao said on the side, "This Shen Shaoqing, I didn't expect it to be a stinger." ”

Xiao Ze grinded his teeth, "My father sternly warned me not to touch him again, if I dare to touch him, my father will depose me." For the sake of a Shen Yi'an, my father actually said that he would abolish me. It can be seen that during this time, my father was very happy with me. ”

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment, and asked for guilt, "Your Highness forgives you, it's that the ministers are too anxious, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has to take a step back in everything in order to ask His Majesty's trust, and he has to be steady, and since he has thought about it behind closed doors, he can't do anything." If you take action to deal with Shen Shaoqing, you can't do it, and you can't do it to let Yushitai impeach Shen Shaoqing, otherwise, you won't let Shen Yi'an seize the opportunity to attack back, causing His Majesty to come in anger. ”

Xiao Ze took a deep breath, "But once you don't do anything, won't this palace be more passive?" The palace doesn't do anything, but Ling Hua will do more, her power is not controlled by the palace, wouldn't it be even bigger, and when the palace is released by her father, will she be helpless Ling Hua? ”

Jiang Hao shook his head, "Your Highness is too worried, has Your Highness forgotten?" Miss Ling and Yan Xiaohou's wedding is imminent, and she is very busy. At least on the wedding day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she didn't have much energy to be a big force in the past two or three months. Even Jiangnan Caoyun made a mistake, she didn't go out of Beijing in person, but sent out the people around her to deal with it. ”

Xiao Ze suddenly said, "Can you find out what happened to Jiangnan Caoyun?" ”

Jiang Hao shook his head, "Jiangnan Caoyun is a little far away from the capital after all, and the news didn't come to the capital so in time, I'm afraid it will take a few days to know what happened." ”

"Send a message to Jiangnan to find out what happened to Jiangnan Caoyun, and then take the opportunity to add another fire to her." Xiao Ze said fiercely, "Why can't she be in the capital, and create a bigger mess for her in Jiangnan Caoyun, right?" ”

Jiang Hao hesitated a little, "Your Highness, it's okay, but if Your Majesty knows, you haven't been able to think about it behind closed doors, and you still keep moving......"

"Father won't punish me severely." Xiao Ze is very confident, "My father likes the way of checks and balances, Ling Hua is the one who checks and balances me, no matter how I fight with Ling Hua, as long as it does not involve the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, my father will turn a blind eye." ”

Jiang Hao nodded, "Since that's the case, then send a message to Jiangnan!" If there is a big mess in Jiangnan, Miss Ling is afraid that she will have to go out of Beijing in person, and she may delay the wedding with the little marquis. ”

Xiao Ze was in a good mood, "That's better, aren't they getting along very well now?" Then the palace let them not catch up with the auspicious day and auspicious time chosen by Qin Tianjian to get married, and when Ling Hua went out of Beijing to Jiangnan Caoyun to deal with the mistakes, the palace did not hesitate to let Ling Hua die in Jiangnan. ”

Jiang Hao also felt that Ling Hua couldn't stay any longer, killing Ling Hua was a must, Ling Hua was too powerful, and he also wanted to avenge his friend Qian Geng, so he nodded, "If you want to kill Miss Ling, you still have to use someone from the Wen family in Youzhou." ”

Xiao Ze narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't Wen Qiliang come to the East Palace to see the main palace?" ”

Jiang Hao sighed, "Wen Qiliang handed over the fold, but His Majesty didn't approve it, so he pressed it." ”

Xiao Ze lowered his face again, "Arrange it and let Wen Qiliang come to the East Palace secretly." ”

Jiang Hao shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work out recently, not only Your Majesty, but also the courtiers are also very concerned about the Wen family's father and son, Wen Qiliang's every move, not only under His Majesty's nose for the inner guards to stare at, but also the courtiers." ”

Xiao Ze was irritable for a while, "Why is this palace so passive now?" ”

Jiang Hao knew why Xiao Ze was so passive now, from the time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince acquiesced to the Wen family and the Black Thirteen to jointly assassinate Ling Hua in Beijing, and the East Palace gave them great convenience, they failed to kill Ling Hua, they were already passive, and then Ling Hua's series of schemes pointed directly at the East Palace, the East Palace made a wrong step, a wrong step, bribed Chen Qiaoyue, and the incident happened in front of His Majesty, which caused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fall into this predicament.

However, in general, it is because of Ling painting.

Xiao Ze himself also knew in his heart that Ling Hua would not die, he would not be able to sleep soundly for a day, and he would not be able to go smoothly everywhere, only when she died, he could go all the way.

He made up his mind, "Find a way to send a message to Wen Qiliang, so that he can come to see the palace before leaving Beijing no matter what." ”

He originally planned to hang Wen Qiliang for a few days, and let him take the initiative to ask to marry his second daughter as the crown princess, but now that the situation is compelling, what else is he hanging? Naturally, it was to create a big mess for Ling Hua in Jiangnan Caoyun, force her out of Beijing, and then kill her with all his might.

So, he said in a deep voice, "Tell Wen Qiliang that his second daughter has been ordered by the palace, let him just come." ”

Jiang Hao nodded, "Your Highness, rest assured, the subordinates will definitely pass the word to the Wen Mansion." ”

Wen Qiliang and the Wen family have long been people on the line of the East Palace, breaking the line of the former crown princess Wen, and now they will continue to use the second miss of the Wen family to connect it, all for the sake of the big position, whether it is the East Palace or the Wen family, they all have this centripetal force, why worry about the failure of the big thing, and can't kill a Ling Hua?
