Chapter 172: The first strike is the strongest
The three princes and their advisers have already prepared scapegoats, just waiting for them to take the bait!
After Jun Qianchen found some clues about the eldest prince, he didn't believe it directly.
Although he has always been disgusted with the eldest prince, he even wants to find out the evidence of his crimes, so that he can't continue to be a demon.
However, Jun Qianchen would not believe those evidences so easily.
During this time, he has been sending people to keep an eye on the eldest prince, and the other party has indeed been seriously investigating the case of the candidate's murder.
If he was a murderer, he would not have taken the initiative to ask for help in the court before.
What's more, the death of those candidates has no use value for him, Jun Qianchen feels that he will not do such a thing that has no benefit, and those clues appear too coincidentally, as if someone had arranged it in advance.
Jun Qianchen may have doubted the eldest prince before seeing those things.
However, the existence of those things made him think otherwise.
He felt that this incident was probably deliberately done by someone, the purpose of which was to frame the eldest prince and profit from it......
At this time, the eldest prince and his henchmen had already found out about one of the staff members under the third prince.
When the staff sent people to assassinate those candidates, he thought that he had not missed any flaws, but unfortunately his temperament was not rigorous enough, and he still left clues in the end.
After the eldest prince found out about him, he was a little surprised in his heart.
After all, this matter did not benefit the third prince at all, and he wanted to do anything about it.
However, after the eldest prince found out about that staff, he did not directly control the person, but sent someone to test Jun Qianchen, wanting to know how his progress was.
"Your Highness, this matter is likely to be related to the Third Prince, let's hand over the evidence to the Holy Lord as soon as possible!" Zhou Siren felt that his approach was very irrational, so he euphemistically mentioned a few words.
"The evidence we have in our hands can only point to the staff around the third brother, and with his style of acting, he will definitely push everything down on the staff!" If you can't kill with one blow, why rush for a while.
"Although we may not be able to convict the third prince this time, we can cut off one of his arms!" This matter is beneficial to them and harmless, and Zhou Siren desperately wants him to hand over the evidence.
If Jun Qianchen was preempted, everything they had done before would be in vain.
"No hurry!" The person the eldest prince wants to deal with the most is Jun Qianchen.
For him, the third prince is not worth his attention at all, he is not his opponent.
The top priority is to get rid of Jun Qianchen, the biggest rival.
Zhou Siren was anxious, but he couldn't persuade the eldest prince, so he could only endure it silently.
The eldest prince secretly sent someone to investigate Jun Qianchen's progress, and after discovering that there was a lot of evidence about his own crimes, he almost rushed to him with a sword.
He felt that those incriminating evidence were deliberately forged by Jun Qianchen, in order to frame him, and then monopolize the credit, so that he could ascend to the throne of the crown prince in the future.
Now, they are each other's worst enemies, and if something happens to them, Jun Qianchen will be the final beneficiary......
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive, think about it in the long run!" After Zhou Siren learned that he had a lot of false incriminating evidence of the eldest prince in his hands, he had other thoughts in his heart.
"Jun Qianchen, that bastard, actually wants to use ruthless tricks against me, and you still let me endure it?" The eldest prince's face was pale.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to dismantle Jun Qianchen into eight pieces to vent the hatred in his heart......
"Now we can only be sure that he has some forged evidence in his hands, as for what he wants to do with those things, we don't know yet, why doesn't Your Highness take the opportunity to find a way to let him reap the consequences!" Zhou Siren frowned.
"If you think anything, just say it!" After listening to his words, the eldest prince quickly calmed down.
Zhou Siren was right, he couldn't be impulsive now, otherwise it was very likely that he would fall for Jun Qianchen's plan......
"Weichen thinks we can preemptively get those false incriminating evidence!" There is no conclusive evidence in hand, and even if they swear by what they say, the emperor may not necessarily believe it.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor has always loved Jun Qianchen more in his heart.
He has been away for five years, and the DPRK and China have long been in turmoil, and once he returns, there are still important ministers who are willing to take refuge in him, not because of the emperor's attitude towards him!
Zhou Siren felt that if he hit a snake, he had to hit seven inches, otherwise he would have endless troubles.
"Good way!" The eldest prince's eyes lit up.
If he could get those things, Jun Qianchen would be speechless.
This time, he not only had to cut off one of the three princes' arms, but also let Jun Qianchen be charged with framing his brother.
What the emperor hates most is that brothers kill each other.
Back then, when the first emperor was in power, he always favored the eldest son of the concubine, but the dignified concubine of the middle palace was repeatedly restricted.
In order to compete for the throne, their brothers calculated with each other, and they all wanted to get rid of each other directly.
He didn't want to fight for that position, but the safety of his mother's clan was all tied to him, and he had to fight.
The concubine had a vendetta with his mother, and if her son became the king of God, the entire people of his mother would be destroyed......
The emperor had personally experienced the tragedy of his brother Yan Wall, so he didn't want his son to kill each other.
It's a pity that the temptation of the throne is too great, and several princes are competing in secret, they think they don't know, but in fact he knows everything......
The eldest prince asked people to sneak into the place where Jun Qianchen lived, wanting to steal those false incriminating evidence.
However, his place was heavily guarded, and the Grand Prince's men were unsuccessful.
The opportunity was fleeting, and the eldest prince was unwilling to stop there, so he spent a lot of money to buy the people around him.
He felt that there was no one in the world who didn't like silver, and if he couldn't buy it, it must be that there wasn't enough silver.
It's a pity that the people around Jun Qianchen are loyal to him, and there are very few who can touch his study.
The eldest prince failed several times and ran out of patience, and just when he was about to find another way, Zhou Siren proposed to buy his subordinates in the palace.
In fact, he has his own mansion, and after he was recovered, the emperor personally gave him a mansion, originally wanting to move there before his wedding.
However, Jun Qianchen left before the emperor was ready to give him a marriage.
Today, he has been living in the palace and has not returned to his mansion.
There were so many people in the entire Chenyang Palace, Zhou Siren felt that they would definitely be able to find people who were greedy for money.
The eldest prince thought that his proposal was good, so he used the nails he buried in the palace to bribe a eunuch in Chenyang Palace, and ordered him to find a way to steal the false incriminating evidence.
He is usually in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, although he can't enter the study directly, he can get close, and he is the old man of Chenyang Palace.
In the five years since Jun Qianchen left, he was in charge of some chores in Chenyang Palace, and he was the one who knew best who could get false incriminating evidence.
In the end, the eldest prince successfully obtained the false incriminating evidence deliberately created by the third prince from the hands of the eunuch.
He didn't intend to use those incriminating evidence to testify against the eldest prince, after all, something is wrong......
After the eldest prince got the so-called evidence, he immediately pointed the finger at the staff of the third prince above the court.
"Father, after careful investigation, Erchen found that the case of the candidate's murder was related to Lord Wu, and this is the evidence found by Erchen!" He directly presented the evidence of the staff's crime to the emperor.
"Is that really the case?" The emperor looked directly at the third prince.
"Father, the son also wants to tell the seventh brother that he deliberately forged false evidence in an attempt to frame the son!" At this time, the eldest prince directly took out those false incriminating evidence.
The person he really wanted to deal with this time was Jun Qianchen, and as for the staff of the third prince, he planned to deal with it later.
Compared to Jun Qianchen, the other party was like an ant, and he didn't want to make much effort at all.
"Qianchen, do you have anything to say?" After the emperor glanced at the false incriminating evidence, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
"Those evidences were found by Erchen's subordinates, but Erchen didn't believe it very much, so he never planned to use these incriminating evidence to frame the eldest brother!" Jun Qianchen said calmly.
"Hmph, how can you admit that it's come to this!" The eldest prince sneered.
"The evidence of the crime was submitted by his subordinates when the examinee was killed, if I really want to frame the eldest brother, will I wait until today?" Jun Qianchen hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes were full of impatience.
He could see that the eldest prince took out those false incriminating evidence, just thinking that he was going to deal with him, so he struck first.
"Who knows what kind of conspiracy you're hatching!" The words of the eldest prince were full of mockery.
"Please be aware of my father, my son never thought of framing the imperial brother, and it is very likely that someone else is hindering it, trying to secretly provoke the relationship between me and the imperial brother, and then the fisherman will benefit!" Jun Qianchen quickly guessed the other party's plan.
However, the eldest prince did not believe what he said at all.
"Seventh brother, you don't have to quibble, this thing is clearly what you did, now that the East Window incident has happened, you want to push it on others, you are too disappointed for your brother!" The eldest prince deliberately made a very sad appearance.
Although the two were not harmonious in private, they did not show it directly on the surface.
"Father Mingjian, this matter really has nothing to do with Erchen, Erchen has always done things above board, and will never use villain tricks to wronged others!" Jun Qianchen glanced at him with a grim look and said.
"Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is innocent!" The courtiers who supported Jun Qianchen all made suggestions to the emperor and demanded a thorough investigation of the matter.
At this time, the people on the eldest prince's side wanted to take this opportunity to make Jun Qianchen's reputation plummet.
So, they begged the emperor to temporarily grounded him.
"The Seven Princes are fair, they never do those villain acts, just based on some false evidence of unknown origin, they want to let His Royal Highness the Seven Princes be grounded, you have such a big face!" Cheng Yifan mocked them mercilessly.
They also knew that they were speechless, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to ask the emperor for forgiveness, whether this was done by Jun Qianchen or not, he was the emperor's biological son.
The words they said before were indeed out of proportion, even if the emperor did not pursue it now, it was inevitable that he would not secretly liquidate it in the future.
"This matter is completely the fault of the Seventh Prince, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" As soon as Zhou Siren's words came out, all the ministers in the court looked at him.
He is the person of the great prince, which is known to everyone in the court.
However, they didn't expect Zhou Siren to say such a thing at this time.
Before, when a courtier politely asked the emperor to severely punish the seven princes, the emperor's face was very ugly.
At this moment, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was still kneeling on the ground and did not get up, he dared to anger the emperor, and all the ministers sweated for him......
