Zhou Jinzhi's arrogant posture made Chu Li very dissatisfied, so Chu Li left without looking back, and it was not necessary for Zhou Jinzhi, as for who Zhou Jinzhi was referring to, even if he didn't say it, but since he could find out about it, he Chu Li's three princes could also find out.

However, the next day, Chu Li felt remorse.

What did Zhou Jinzhi mean by his words, Chu Li didn't find out yet, but he was first attacked by the Five Princes' faction.

In the early dynasties, Tie Yushi openly played the impeachment of many officials. Chu Li's face immediately changed slightly, these officials were all distant relatives of the Marquis of Jingbei without exception.

Chu Li glanced at Cheng Enhou, it was impossible to impeach him so skillfully, there must be Cheng Enhou's handwriting, this Tie Yu Shi is Cheng Enhou's protégé.

"Your Majesty, these people have embezzled public funds or accepted bribes, and they really have the emperor's grace, and the ministers think that this trend cannot be long, and they should be sentenced to heavy sentences to set an example." Tie Yushi said awe-inspiringly.

Tie Yushi not only impeached, but also listed the crimes he had committed one by one, and he couldn't fake it, and immediately there were officials who echoed it, and among the people who echoed it was Cheng Enhou.

Cheng Enhou finished agreeing, and he didn't forget to add a sentence, what did the three princes think?

Ten fingers clenched tightly into fists, Chu Li secretly cursed in his heart, old fox! Cheng Enhou definitely did it on purpose, but he couldn't refute it. Tie Yushi is obviously the best preparation, and all the incriminating evidence is clear, and it is irrefutable at all, even if he wants to exonerate those people.

Chu Li hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What does Cheng Enhou mean by this?" How to deal with it is determined by the father and the emperor, and there are laws and regulations, and it is not up to anyone to say how to deal with it. Moreover, whether the incriminating evidence provided by Tie Yushi is established still needs to be verified and verified. ”

Cheng Enhou smiled, "Ben Hou just saw that the three princes didn't say a word, so he just mentioned it in passing, I didn't expect to cause such a big reaction from the three princes, but Ben Hou is not." Since the three princes are so reasonable, according to Benhou, the three princes are the best candidates to verify this matter. ”

After speaking, the Emperor Cheng'en gave his hand to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the three princes said is very reasonable, and the matter has not been verified to be guilty, and it is difficult to convince the public, it is better for the three princes to be responsible for verification and verification, the three princes are modest and cautious, and it is more appropriate." ”

Chu Li's face changed greatly, he was tricked, Cheng Enhou was clearly deliberately designed to embarrass him, these people are his people, if he saves them, he must do something on the evidence, but if he is responsible for the matter, but he does it, Cheng Enhou and the five princes will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble, and at that time, even if the matter has nothing to do with him, it will have to do with it.

But if he doesn't save them, then these people will be useless, and the loss will be too great for him.

"Father, the son is not in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and he has no right to deal with this matter, so the matter is still taken over by the people of the Criminal Department." Chu Li hurriedly played the emperor.

"No." Cheng Enhou took over and said, "Your Majesty, there are many people involved in the case this time, including officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, if you let the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple deal with it, it will inevitably be a little inconvenient, and this matter is still the most suitable for the three princes." ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded rarely, he had never liked the people of the Yao family, but what Cheng Enhou said today was reasonable.

"This matter will be handed over to the third prince." As soon as the emperor gave an order, Chu Li's face instantly stiffened, but his head hung slightly, so that no one could see the change in his face......

Chu Li finally stayed up until the end of the morning dynasty, and was about to go out, but before his feet stepped out of the threshold, a voice came from behind him, "Third child." ”

It was Chu Heng's voice, Chu Li didn't want to look back, he knew that it would definitely be nothing good for Chu Heng to stop him, but quickly adjusted his expression, Chu Li slowly turned around, nodded at Chu Heng and smiled, "What's the matter with the fifth emperor brother?" ”

Seeing that Chu Li still maintained his image of a humble gentleman, Chu Heng couldn't help but show disdain, and sneered: "This prince sees how long you can pretend!" ”

Dropping this cruel sentence, Chu Heng strode away without looking at Chu Li again.

Chu Li was naturally unhappy about Chu Heng's cynicism, but he remembered that this was the Jinluan Palace, although the emperor had already left, if he behaved badly, it would inevitably reach the emperor's ears immediately.

He can only endure it!

Chu Li suppressed the anger in his heart and walked quickly to Yuxiu Palace.

What to do about this matter, you still need to consult Concubine Huo Xian. However, he was told by the palace people that Niangniang went to greet the queen and has not come back yet.

According to the rules, if there is no accident, the concubine needs to ask the queen for peace every day, if she just asks for peace, she should have come back a long time ago. Chu Li's heart jumped, Concubine Huo Xian has not come back until now, which can only explain one thing, she was troubled by Queen Yao again.

Sure enough, after a while, Concubine Huo Xian came back with a limp.

"Mother." Chu Li hurriedly stepped forward and supported Concubine Huo Xian.

Concubine Huo Xian's lips were pale, her complexion was very bad, and she didn't even have the strength to speak. Chu Li helped her sit down and poured her tea again, Concubine Huo Xian drank the tea, and rested for a while, only then did she ease up a little.

"The queen is embarrassed by the mother again." It's not a question, it's a statement of one thing.

Concubine Huo Xian clenched her teeth, "Don't mention this, as long as my son fights, I won't have a chance to take revenge in the future." ”

Empress Yao can embarrass her, that is because she is the queen of the main palace, and her powerful positions are above her, and now she has no ability to confront Empress Yao. Only when Chu Li ascends the throne as emperor in the future, she will be the queen mother, and she will naturally be able to trample the Yao family under her feet at that time.

Now what Queen Yao did to her, she will remember it first, and she will get it back ten times in the future.

"The mother concubine was troubled by the queen in the harem, and the sons were also calculated by the Marquis of Cheng'en in the court." Chu Li told Concubine Huo Xian everything that happened in the early dynasty today......

"Mother, it's useless for the son-in-law, the witness was arranged by the son-in-law, and the Marquis already knows about this matter, and he is taking revenge on us. Erchen's heart is very confused now, and he really doesn't know how to solve this matter. ”

Chu Li frowned, his strength was still too weak, he used to hide in the shadows, so he was safe. But now that his ambition to compete for the throne has been exposed, Chengenhou pursues him fiercely, but he can't resist it.

In the past, Chu Li really didn't take Chengenhou in his eyes, he always felt that the emperor didn't like the Yao family, even if Chengenhou jumped again, as long as the Empress Dowager Yao died, he would immediately stop fighting, so he didn't need to take too much care of the people of Chu Heng's faction.

However, now Chu Li has changed his mind, even if the Marquis of Cheng'en is not liked by the emperor, but after all, he is the most powerful relative, which should not be underestimated.

Hearing this, Concubine Huo Xian fell into silence, and after thinking about it, she looked at Chu Li with a straight face, "Li'er, you go to Zhou Jinzhi and ask him for advice." ”

Chu Li immediately objected, "Mother concubine can't." Zhou Jinzhi's ambition is too great, he clearly wants to squeeze out the Huo family, and then let us no longer be able to do without his support. Such a person, no matter how useful he is, will surely become a great trouble in the future. ”

He is not a fool, he understands what Zhou Jinzhi's ambitions are, if he really gives up the Huo family as Zhou Jinzhi said, then Zhou Jinzhi will replace the Huo family as his main help. A person with such great ambitions, Chu Li can't believe it.

"Li'er, even if it becomes a big disaster, it will be in the future, and the most important thing is now."

Concubine Huo Xian said, "Zhou Jinzhi has what he wants, and we can meet what he wants, and it is more reassuring for ambitious people to use it." ”

"But ......" Chu Li resisted a little, he didn't want to take the initiative to find Zhou Jinzhi, if he took the initiative, it would mean that he lost his majesty in front of Zhou Jinzhi.

"Li'er, think about what Zhou Jinzhi said yesterday, he asked you to give up the Huo family, you didn't agree, but looking at the current situation, even if you don't agree, there is no way, those who were impeached are powerless. Zhou Jinzhi, it is very likely that he already knew that such a thing would happen. ”

Concubine Huo Xian's words shocked Chu Li, "He already knew, this ...... How is this possible. ”

"How could it be?" Concubine Huo Xian said with a straight face, "If Zhou Jinzhi is not capable, can he get to his current official position without relying on the Jingbei Hou Mansion?" Li'er, listen to the concubine, go to him, you take the initiative to find him, it's Corporal Lixian. ”

Under Concubine Huo Xian's repeated persuasion, Chu Li finally agreed, but he was always a little unhappy in his heart.

The mother and son were talking, when suddenly someone from the palace came in and said, "Niangniang, the Hou Ye is here." ”

With such a big incident, it was not surprising that Hou Chengen came, Concubine Huo Xian instructed the palace people to invite Hou Ye in.

Not long after, Jingbei Hou walked in, but the people who followed Jing Beihou made Chu Li's mouth open slightly in surprise......
