No one thought that the change would come so suddenly.

The chaos in Jingnan had just begun, and something big happened in Beijing.

The prince was poisoned, seriously ill and dying, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was assassinated when he went out, although he was only injured, but Xie Yuan, who accompanied the guards, was also reprimanded.

Xie Qingheng, the eldest son of the Xie family, colluded with others, bribed the head of the East Palace to murder the prince, and excluded dissidents from the Guozi Prison, in order to bury the truth of his rebellion, he assassinated Pei Geng, the grandson of the household Shangshu, and was imprisoned afterwards, and the entire Xie family was implicated.

Xuanping Marquis Xie Yuan was relieved of his military power and confined in the palace.

The Xie family was all grounded in the mansion, and under the siege of heavy troops, no one could get out of the mansion for half a step.

The situation in the DPRK and China was in turmoil, and Nan Yuanshan was reprimanded by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty for interceding for Xie Yuan, while the Cao family, who had been reprimanded for discord with the Xie family, had to be reinstated, not to mention that Cao Xiongguan was reinstated, and took over the forbidden army.

Even the military power in Xie Yuan's hands was all in Cao Xiong's hands.

When Mo Linglan heard the news brought by Jinbao, his expression was in a trance for a moment, and he said in a deep voice after a while: "How is the prince?" ”

After the accident in Jinbao to Qiwen Mansion, the whole person lost his previous vitality and became silent, but at this time, he also knew that the situation was wrong, and said in a deep voice:

"The news was sent by King Rui's mansion, King Rui said that the prince was very ill, and the imperial doctors in the palace took turns to see him, but he said that the poison was extremely domineering, and it had entered the prince's internal organs, and the prince was afraid that he would ...... There is no way to return to heaven. ”

Mo Linglan's face trembled slightly: "Why is Xie Qingheng involved?" ”

Jin Bao said: "The messenger said that the person who poisoned and murdered the prince was the head of the East Palace, and he committed suicide after being captured, and after the investigation in the palace, all the clues pointed directly to the eldest prince Xie, and some people witnessed the prince's accident before the eldest prince met privately with the person who poisoned him. ”

"And the poison that murdered the prince was also found in the sachet he carried, and he was caught when he was searched."

When Mo Linglan clenched his fists when he heard this, his palms were full of cold sweat.

He knew Xie Qingheng's character, and he also knew that the Xie family had never had the heart to rebel.

Xie Qingheng participated in the previous incident behind Taoyuanpo, and like Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan, he has been tracking down the people behind the scenes.

If he really had the heart of rebellion, he would not have almost died in the back mountain of Taoyuanpo in order to follow Yue Rong's father and son.

What's more, Xie Qingheng is a close minister of the East Palace, and he is also the prince's personal follower, and after he chose to follow the prince, the Xie family is also equivalent to joining the prince's command.

If something happened to the prince, he and the Xie family couldn't escape first, how could Xie Qingheng murder the prince?

And Xie Qingheng is the best of the younger generation, if he really wants to harm the prince, and even if the Xie family has any rebellious actions, how can he be seen to meet with that long follower, and even keep poison as evidence with him?

The Xie family didn't even prepare for it afterwards, and Xie Yuan was directly relieved of his military power?

Although Emperor Ming Xuan was not broad-minded, he was not stupid, how could he not see such a simple plan to blame the trouble, but under such circumstances, he still put Xie Qingheng in prison, and even relieved Xie Yuan of his military power and imprisoned the Xie family.

It can only be said that Xie Qingheng's plot to kill the prince is probably conclusive evidence, and someone set up a situation to frame the Xie family and block all their retreats.

Even......

Maybe there was something else besides this that angered Emperor Ming Xuan?

Mo Linglan asked, "Is there a clear order to punish Xie Qingheng and the Xie family?" ”

"Not yet."

Jin Bao said, "The current situation in Beijing is not much better than that in Jingnan, although His Majesty ordered to block the news, but the prince has not been to the court for a few days, and the matter of the imperial doctor entering and leaving the East Palace cannot be concealed at all." ”

"King Rui was worried that there would be a big change in Beijing, so he quietly asked someone to send a letter to Jingnan to inform the fourth master that he should take measures as soon as possible, but he didn't expect the fourth master to ......"

Jinbao thought of Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan, whose life and death were unknown, and couldn't help but redden.

Mo Linglan's heart was extremely heavy.

The eldest brother of the Mo family was also shocked by the sudden news, and couldn't help but ask, "What about the son of the Hubu Shangshu family?" What's going on with him? ”

Jin Bao shook his head: "This matter is even more unclear for a while, it is reported that Pei Gongzi had been to the Xie family twice before the accident, and he has always been good friends with the eldest son of the Xie family, but it is reported that he had a dispute with Xie Qingheng when he went to the Xie family for the last time, and his face was extremely bad when he left the Xie family." ”

"Soon after he left the Xie family, he suddenly disappeared, and the people of the Pei family and the Tang family searched the entire capital, but they did not find the whereabouts of the Pei Gongzi."

Forget about the Pei family, although Pei Jingyuan is the head of the household, but over the years, he has been suffocated and aggrieved in the position of the book, and there have been incidents of Jingnan and the Bo family one after another, and the family property has been lost, and there is no one available in his hands.

But where is the Tang family so easy to deal with.

Tang Li started from scratch, but he was rich enough to rival the country, if he was replaced by others, the royal family would have been unable to tolerate him, but although Tang Li would collect money, he was never stingy, and on several occasions when the treasury of Dachen was not rich and the war was difficult, he took out his family property to send grain and grass, silver, and baggage, and was always the first to take the lead in disaster relief and food relief when there were natural and man-made disasters.

If you talk about winning the hearts of the people, even the royal family can't compare to the Tang family.

But the Tang family has no sons, only one daughter who married into the Pei family, and Pei Geng has no ambitions and only likes to eat, drink and have fun to earn silver, Tang Li is loyal to the Yuwen royal family and never rebels, and never refuses to ask for silver, so the Tang family has a very high status in Dachen, although it is a merchant, it has been prominent in some official eunuch families.

Tang Li has always been kind to people over the years, but no one has ever dared to underestimate him.

Tang Li has no children under his knees, Pei Geng's grandson is the only heir of the Tang family, if Pei Geng has an accident, Tang Li will definitely go crazy and fight with the person who assassinated Pei Geng.

"Is Pei Geng just missing, or is he killed?"

"It's just missing now, but the Tang family has already started targeting the Xie family."

Jin Bao pursed his lips, "The eldest prince Xie is in prison, the Marquis Xie has no military power, the Xie family is already difficult, and the Tang family's targeting has made the Xie family even worse." ”

"The people in Ruiwangfu said that some people in Beijing had begun to take the opportunity to pick up the past of Xie Hou Ye and Master Su, and some people even slandered Xie Hou Ye, saying......" Jinbao suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.

Mo Linglan asked, "What to say?" ”

Jin Bao was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice after a while: "It is said that Mrs. Xie had already had a relationship with Lord Xie before Lord Su died, and also said that she had a relationship with Lord Su and Lord Xie, and after Lord Su died, she used her beauty to confuse Lord Xie to cover up the old case of Jingnan for Lord Su, and even pretended to rehabilitate Miss Su." ”

"It is also said that Mrs. Xie was pregnant before the mourning period of Lord Su expired, so Marquis Xie was in a hurry to marry her......"

Those words are really ugly, Jin Bao regards Su Ruan as the future master mother, and the more ugly ones are a little unspeakable.

Mo Linglan's face turned pale: "It's ridiculous!" ”
