What happened in the capital was quickly sent back to Beiping through the intelligence officers under Bandung.

After Zhu Rui got the information, he carefully reviewed it and sorted it out before taking them to find his father, King Yan, and report the latest news in Beijing to him.

When King Yan learned that the crown prince's concubine Wang Meiru gave birth to a daughter, who was obviously full-term, but claimed to be born prematurely, and also blackened the crown princess by the way, he couldn't help but shake his head: "This Wang family and His Royal Highness the crown prince are not of the same mind. At such an important moment, in order to be jealous of the wind, he deliberately caused trouble for the prince, isn't this a joke that deliberately let the foreign ministers see the prince? ! What if she gave birth to a boy? The identity of the biological mother is unknown, and she is the eldest concubine, and the courtiers at most think that the prince has an heir, but they will not think that this child will become the heir of the prince.

"No matter how useless the Xue family is, she is also the granddaughter of Old Master Xue. Even if Old Master Xue was seriously injured and could no longer bring any help to the prince in the court, he still had a few followers under him, and he could be regarded as having some prestige in the court in the past. The crown prince treated the Yuan Pei Xue family so coldly and ruthlessly, the courtiers would never have a good impression when they saw it. Although His Royal Highness is suspected of sneaking up on Old Master Xue, there is still a Xiao family who is behind him anyway, and he can still wash away some of his reputation. The crown prince is now openly spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, even if it is not a big mistake, in the eyes of the courtiers, it is far from being done by Ming Jun. After this incident, the voice of the DPRK and China against Yi Chu is afraid that it will be much smaller. ”

Zhu Rui had already seen the relevant information sent by Wan Long: "There are indeed several Hanlin scholars and imperial historians who have participated in the prince's book, thinking that the prince favors the concubine too much, and there is a suspicion of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, and some people suggest that the prince belittles the Wang family and hands over the newborn daughter to the virtuous princess to raise, so as not to be taught badly by the Wang family in the future." The prince was not allowed to go out of the East Palace, but after hearing the news, he once scolded the courtier in front of people for an hour, and sent a letter to the Chengenhou Mansion afterwards, asking Chengenhou to educate that person. It's just that the Chengenhou Mansion didn't move. ”

Because of this incident, Yu Shitai generally felt very dissatisfied, thinking that the prince was confused by the Wang family and had already fainted. Not only can the Wang family no longer stay in the East Palace, it is better to be executed directly, so as not to confuse the king again. If you have to consider that she has given birth to a daughter for the crown prince and has a meritorious child, then she must also send people to the royal temple to become a monk and practice. Anyway, people can never stay with the prince anymore!

Although the emperor felt that the words of the imperial historians were very reasonable, the prince was infatuated with Wang Meiru and resolutely refused to send people away, so the emperor had to let him go. Probably because the emperor had the intention of abolishing the crown prince, so he didn't plan to worry too much about this kind of "trivial matter", anyway, when the prince was abolished, whether he favored Wang Meiru or not didn't have much impact.

The failure of the Yushitai operation made his impression of the prince much worse. At present, it seems that there is only a reason to abolish the crown prince, and they can directly write to the emperor and support Yi Chu. Therefore, not all the officials in the DPRK and China are dead-headed, and when their interests are at stake, they will not care about the rules of "abolishing the long and standing the young, and the ominous"!

King Yan listened to Zhu Rui's report and sneered: "The prince has been spoiled by Empress Cao and the Cao family since he was a child, and he thinks that his position is stable, no one can shake it, and anyone has to revolve around him!" He may not know that the Wang family has scheming and the crown princess is wronged, but he is bent on spoiling the Wang family, what does right and wrong matter in his heart? He has never had much affection for the crown princess. As long as the Wang family is happy, he is afraid that he will not care about the life of his original wife. This time, the emperor stopped it, if the emperor came up late, the attendants of the East Palace were powerless to stop it, God knows if the crown princess really died?! The crown prince probably thought that there was no one in the Xue family, and even if the crown princess died, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would still protect him as the prince, right?! ”

Zhu Rui has been in and out of the palace since he was a child, and he has long understood the temperament of the prince, so he is not surprised by King Yan's evaluation. He didn't say anything, but continued to say to King Yan: "Cheng Enhou and his wife entered the palace to visit the newly-born little county lord, and they didn't know what they talked about with the prince, and the two sides broke up unhappily. After leaving the palace, Cheng Enhou and his wife went back to Cheng Enhou's mansion directly, and in the next few days, they sent people out of the house from the back door and side door to do business. Wan Long was short on the Cao family, so he followed only three of them, and found that they went to the homes of two palace guards, as well as a private residence of an inner attendant outside the palace. Wan Long tried to investigate, and found that these three people were all in prison a few days ago, and there is no news so far, even their families, they can't say what they have done, only that they are likely to anger Long Yan......"

Zhu Rui looked up at King Yan: "Calculate the time, this is almost after your secret letter from my father was transmitted into the palace, presumably the emperor found out about the secret people placed in front of the palace by Empress Cao or His Royal Highness, so he ordered someone to arrest them and interrogate them strictly, but I don't know if the result of the trial was found." ”

King Yan stretched out his hand to ask him for relevant information, Zhu Rui handed it over, and the former read it carefully a few times before he breathed a sigh of relief: "These people are actually the people who are on an errand in front of the emperor!" I'm afraid that the poison in the emperor can't get rid of them. It was also a blessing that they discovered their true identities earlier, and they avoided the possibility of the emperor's assassination. These people can wait in front of the emperor every day, if they continue to stay in the Qianqing Palace, it will be too dangerous for the emperor! It's just that I don't know, if these people are all, if one or two fish slip through the net and are still lurking around the emperor, wouldn't the emperor still be in danger?! ”

Zhu Rui said: "Since the emperor can order to take people, he must know it in his heart, and my father doesn't have to worry too much." Since the person behind him used the poisoning method, he naturally didn't want outsiders to find out his true methods, and hoped that the emperor would not arouse anyone's suspicion when something happened. Since he has this mind, he naturally will not easily use the technique of assassination, which will shock the world. ”

"Having said that, but the killing of the king can be done, and we can't expect this person to have a clear mind, even if the conspiracy fails, he can still endure it." The more King Yan thought about it, the more irritable he became, "It's a pity that at this time, I can't protect the emperor......"

Zhu Rui paused, and quickly brought up another piece of information to divert King Yan's attention: "Wan Long calculated Xu Laishun and put a group of people in the rivers and lakes he enveloped into the Yingtianfu prison, so as not to have any conspiracy in secret. ”
