The emperor couldn't understand why the empress wanted to detain Cao Tingyu, was she really dissatisfied with him?

The Empress's personality is clear to the Emperor, far from this level - at least, the Empress is respectful to him.

So the emperor couldn't figure it out even more.

Because of this problem, the emperor looked very unhappy all day today, even in the early dynasty, no one dared to say anything, for fear that he would anger the emperor and tell him to get angry directly in the court.

So it's pretty much everyone with their tails between their legs.

At this time, Lu Cheng served a cup of tea to the emperor, "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea." ”

The emperor shook his head and looked down at the excerpt, but he was not in a good mood, and he was directly angry, "What a Ji Cheng'an, I gave him such a status, and it turned out to be a matter of acting in accordance with the yang and yin, relying on how much I trust him, it is really unreasonable to do such nonsense outside." ”

Lu Cheng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is angry." ”

Just looking at it from a distance, at a glance, I saw the contents of the fold.

It is said that Ji Cheng'an, the assassin of Jiangzhou, has no rules, and he actually scrapes the people's fat and ointment at will in the local area.

And Jiangzhou was not a rich place in the first place, and it was even a little poor.

Many ordinary people were originally just begging for food and clothing.

Now that this is the case, it has made the people's livelihood even more difficult, so it has caused such a big disaster in the local area.

As for what kind of disaster it was, this Lu Cheng didn't see it clearly, but his mind was spinning fast, and now there is only who Ji Cheng'an recommended in his memory.

After thinking about it, he could only think that in the end it was someone from the eldest prince's side.

The eldest prince was originally a nobody, because unlike the second prince, the eldest prince did not have a proud mother family behind him, and most of them contacted these courtiers behind his back for so many years.

But it is precisely because of this that it seems that there are fewer people who can help him screen on the side, and there are fewer people who can tell him who can use it and who can't.

This Ji Cheng'an is a person believed by the emperor, the champion of the new department, and he is quite useful, but this person's trip to Jiangzhou was recommended by the eldest prince.

Just wanted to ask him to go to Jiangzhou to do something, so that when he met the capital again, the emperor would use him even more.

But I didn't expect such a scene.

"This Ji Cheng'an, don't you think I'm a dead person, or do you think that the people on the side are dead!"

Lu Cheng didn't dare to say more, just lowered his head and listened.

The emperor let out a deep sigh, "Call all the ministers over, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible." ”

Lu Cheng responded, "Yes, the slave will go." ”

After Lu Cheng came out, he looked at the sky, the sky was bleak, the snow just fell yesterday, and it stopped today, seeing that it was cold for a day, and now it was time for the snow to melt, and the wind blew as if a knife was scraping his face, which made people unbearable.

The wind and snow have just stopped, but the sky does not want the sun to come out, but I am afraid that tomorrow will be another gloomy weather.

The little eunuch on the side slumped down and asked what Lu Cheng meant.

Lu Cheng just said, "Your Majesty said that you will do whatever you want, you will do it, where did you come from so much nonsense." ”

The little eunuch naturally sensed that Lu Cheng was not very happy, and immediately nodded and responded several times.

But Lu Cheng didn't pay attention to him, only looked at the sky in the distance.

Is it really a coincidence that the recent times have come out one after another?

Or is it actually someone who is calculating behind his back, Lu Cheng lowered his eyes.

Well, that's not what he's thinking.

-

I have to say that Lu Cheng is an old fox who has been serving in the palace for many years, and he has a feeling for things that others don't know.

Of course, someone is calculating this.

Why calculate?

It is because it is to continue to maintain the balance of the situation.

And whoever wants to maintain the balance of the situation is naturally delayed them.

Ah Wei didn't understand, "Then why did His Highness choose to attack the eldest prince?" ”

In fact, the person who chose to make a move against the eldest prince was not delayed, this was the result of discussing with Cao Tingyue later.

Now that the second prince and the queen have lost power, if someone brings up the matter of the prince again at this time, I am afraid that the chances of the eldest prince will indeed be very high.

But to put it bluntly, I don't want one of the eldest prince or the second prince to become the prince.

Because this is an adult prince, and it is definitely not as easy to control as others think.

But the harem – or the royal palace – is such a cold place, it's not that you control others, it's that others control you, there's nothing to say about it.

If you don't want to be controlled, you have to seize the opportunity.

At least you can't call an adult prince to be the prince.

And it just so happened that something like this happened in Jiangzhou.

Dongchang naturally won't hold back, but as long as he changes his expression a little when he says it, that is, Ji Cheng'an's responsibility may have accounted for sixty percent, but now as long as it is eighty percent, the emperor will definitely see who is behind him.

And that's what they're trying to do.

"But how did Your Highness expect that the people would definitely make a fuss after all?"

This is the part that even Lu Cheng didn't see.

What made the emperor so angry, it's not that Ji Chengan did anything rebellious this time.

It's that after he did these stupid things, he couldn't wipe his ass clean by himself, but left traces.

What traces? Because he looted a large number of people's fat and ointment, making the people's lives miserable, and complaining, many people went to besiege the prefect's mansion, and Ji Cheng'an's assassination mansion had already been smashed by the people.

Ji Chengan was so angry that he actually arrested two people and tortured them severely, and the person who made them really died.

This is even more terrible, so that the people rise up, if the emperor does not give them a satisfactory answer, I am afraid that it is going to rebel.

The matter is very serious.

But it's not impossible.

For these people who don't understand anything, appeasement is the best way, and now if Ji Chengan is directly brought to justice and an explanation is given to the people of Jiangzhou, then they will probably be satisfied and will not say anything more.

"Then if that's the case, why bother arranging such a big game?"

Chi Chi listened to Awei's words and smiled, "I asked you to have someone pass the word to the eldest prince about this matter, did you send someone?" ”

Ah Wei nodded, "And according to His Highness's orders, he didn't say it directly, but just said that His Majesty was very angry and urgently summoned the minister to the palace to discuss matters." ”

Chi Chi snorted, "What the hell is going on, if we understand it too clearly, it will not be good, after all, this eldest brother of mine, I will definitely understand it clearly." ”

After a long sip of tea, "And what we have to do is just watch quietly." Oh yes. Chi Chi suddenly remembered something, "You go to Ji Lin's side and let him think of a way to let the people of Kunning Palace know about this." ”

"This ...... Why is that? ”

"What we can't do, the queen mother and the princess naturally have a way to intervene, so let them do it."

Dog eats dog, in the end, it's not just that both of them are the same mouthful.

-

The eldest prince was the first to know about this - but also through the news from Chi Chi.

After all, the letters from Jiangzhou were all intercepted by Cao Tingyu's people.

This Dongchang doesn't let your letter enter Beijing, what else can you do to get over.

But the eldest prince knew nothing about this.

Cao Tingyue and Chi Chi knew that even if he knew about the interception of the letter later, he would probably only think that it was the queen's side that did it.

But this doesn't matter, the important thing is that the eldest prince is only angry because of the emperor now, and maybe because of the second prince.

Because the queen detained the people in Dongchang, the thing that made the emperor angry can be said to be known all over the city, and everyone is watching the excitement of the queen.

"You just go and find out, what did my father summon the minister, and I heard that there was a big fire?" The eldest prince was happy, "You said that my second emperor brother and my queen mother, what is not good, but to offend the East Factory, although the king is also extremely disgusted with the East Factory, but also knows that the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, this now the East Factory can be said to be in the middle of the day, at this time offended the East Factory to himself, what good can it be......

Before the words of the great prince were finished, the people who had just been sent out to investigate the matter came back in a hurry.

"Your Highness, Your Highness is not good!"

"What nonsense? This king is good! The eldest prince was unhappy and had a straight face.

The person who went out quickly knelt down, and then gasped, "The slave is a capital crime, but the slave doesn't mean that, the slave ......"

"Alright." The eldest prince is in a good mood now, and he doesn't really want to worry about him, "Okay, just say what you want, didn't you ask you to go to find out what happened to your father?" Why are you in such a hurry, what is there to say. ”

The man took a breath before he said, "Your Highness, it's not a good thing. It turned out that His Majesty was angry, not because of the matter of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, nor because of the matter of the queen's mother, but because of the matter of Ji Cheng'an, the assassin of Jiangzhou! ”

"What?!" The eldest prince stood up suddenly, "Ji Cheng'an? What could he do? ”

"Your Highness, hurry up and think of a way, because Ji Chengan was searching for the people in Jiangzhou, he actually made a big deal and killed people, and the 10,000 people in Jiangzhou asked for their lives, and the letters of request have already been sent to His Majesty!"

The eldest prince was dizzy, "What is he...... He's dead! ”

"Your Highness, now you have to find a way!"

"Find a way! Doesn't this king know that he has to find a way? But for a while......"

The minion's reaction was extremely fast, "Your Highness, there are only two ways now, one is that Your Highness finds a way for Ji Cheng'an to fish it out, and the other is ......"

"What's it?"

"It's His Royal Highness who directly abandoned Ji Cheng'an and made His Majesty believe that we have nothing to do with Ji Cheng'an!"
