As many people expected, the four princes sued the emperor as soon as possible, pointing out that the second prince had ill intentions towards grain and grass, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and wanted to subvert the imperial power of Emperor Tianyu.

As soon as this situation came out, the people of Yanjing were in an uproar.

Because Yan Shu came up with conclusive evidence - Yang Xiancheng took people alive, and the people who came to assassinate him.

As for Mo Yu, he didn't appear, and he didn't mention it.

Emperor Tianyu attached great importance to this matter, and the second prince was tried on the spot in the Jinluan Palace.

However, Yan Kuo is not unprepared, Yan Shu's more than a month of recuperation time has already made him fully prepared, at this moment, when he heard the old emperor's inquiry, he knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice, "Father, the son has a grievance to sue, as we all know, the son once had an interest in the Gu family, and later the fourth brother also had a good impression of the Gu family, and once asked for marriage, but was rejected by the father. Erchen privately thought that the fourth brother was dissatisfied with Erchen, and was afraid that Erchen would rob his Miss Gu family, so he deliberately did such a thing to frame Erchen, and begged his father to learn from him! ”

This remark sounded a bit childish at first glance, but after careful analysis, it was reasonable, and Emperor Tianyu groaned at that moment.

Yan Kuo glanced at Yan Shu with some smugness - he was fully prepared to refute was the first, and the old emperor's preference for him was the second.

With these two items, how can he be invincible.

Yan Kuo thought so.

However, Yan Shu didn't panic, he still knelt on one knee on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Father, if the assassin of Erchen can't make the second emperor brother confess his guilt, then it seems that he can only investigate the money and property in and out of the second emperor's mansion. ”

After speaking, he glanced back at the person who was being escorted, and said in a deep voice, "You say, how much money did the second prince give you." ”

"Two thousand taels." The man said sullenly.

The assassination of His Highness also led to His Highness's death, and he knew that he and this group of brothers would definitely not survive.

If it weren't for the lives of the family members in the hands of His Royal Highness, he wouldn't have testified in the Jinluan Palace.

"Oh, two thousand taels ......," Yan Shu said meaningfully, "If there is an expenditure of two thousand taels of silver in the Second Emperor's Brother's Mansion, it should be right." ”

Yan Kuo on the side originally had a proud face, but the "swish" was white.

It stands to reason that many people have to use their own private money to do such hidden things—the kind that doesn't go through the accounts, and no one can get a handle on it.

However, the middle feed in the second prince's mansion is held by the second princess, the second princess has a strong personality, and the second prince is not good at business, so she has always been tight about money.

The second prince loves to squander, so he often doesn't have a few coins in his hand, and he has to go to the accounts of the public to buy things.

In this way, it can be regarded as a hidden danger, but Yan Kuo didn't care much, because who would have thought that the second prince would not have his own private room, and he would check the public account in the house.

But who would have thought that in order to pull the second prince down, Yan Shu had already sent someone to investigate clearly, and later even designed to defraud the second prince of some money, causing him to have to take the accounts of the public middle school, so that this matter left a handle that could not be removed.

"You ......" Yan Kuo said with a white face, "I ...... Can't I spend two thousand taels of silver to buy a house? ”

"What about the house? Two thousand taels are spent, where is the title deed of the house? Have you crossed the clear road of the Yamen? If not, the second emperor brother is lying. Yan Shu said meaningfully.

Yan Kuo's face turned whiter this time, he raised his head, and looked at the old emperor with some panic, except for secretly hating the second princess in his heart for holding the money too tightly and not giving him a private house, which led to leaving a big handle, the rest is to pin his hopes on the old emperor - since he can not be held accountable for what happened last time, then this time the fourth child did not lose his life, it should be nothing.

In fact, Emperor Tianyu was indeed groaning, whether this second son should be punished or not.

Not punishing, it seems to be a little too obvious, and the eccentricity is a bit too much, will it make people see something?

If you are punished, it will not be a trivial matter, and the fourth child doesn't look like he can give up.

But after losing his second son like this, the old emperor was a little unwilling.

He raised his head and looked at his two sons with a deep groan, and when his eyes swept to Yan Shu, he said tentatively, "Fourth, your injury this time is not light, after all, it is to escort grain and grass, I know that you have worked hard, what did you want?" ”

That's where it comes to compensation.

Yan Shu pursed his lips, and his heart sank slightly.

Could it be that the father is determined to protect the second prince, so he wants to compensate him?

If this was in normal times, Yan Shu would definitely immediately say that he would not compensate, but only need to punish the second prince.

But now he has another concern, that is, the marriage with Bai Shao, whether he can take advantage of this compensation to ask for it.

It's just that if you want compensation, will the second prince be let go gently?

Yan Shu was a little unwilling in his heart, but after thinking about it, Bai Shao was more important, so he raised his head, his eyes were resolute, and his voice was sonorous, "Since my father asked my son what he wanted, my son won't tell lies, and my son wants my father to marry Miss Gu to my son." ”

The old emperor on the dragon chair was stunned, stared at Yan Shu carefully, and found that he was indeed sincerely willing to give up punishing the second prince in exchange for a marriage with Miss Gu Family, and his heart was a little hesitant at the moment.

Although Miss Gu still has a general Gu behind her, for the sake of a general who doesn't know if he can support him in the future, she gave up the move of pulling the enemy off the horse, I have to say that this fourth son is really infatuated.

You must know that dragging the second prince down now will not only avenge Yan Shu's assassination, but most importantly, the distance from the throne will be one step further.

But now that he has given up, the second prince is no longer guilty, so he is still in front of him, making him unreliable on the throne.

Yan Shu was able to give a woman the opportunity to go further on the throne, which made the old emperor a little moved, plus Gu Qingfan had already left a back hand, so after thinking for a while, he finally nodded and relieved, "Well, since you are so insistent, you have asked me to marry three times and twice, and I will get your wish!" ”

After speaking, Chrysostom Yuyan spoke, and the old eunuch on the side splashed ink, and soon a holy decree was written.

Yan Shu knelt down on one knee under the dragon bank, very excited in his heart, and a little faintly lost, but he did not regret it at all.

The second prince can be calculated by him once, and he can calculate it a second time in the future, but the opportunity to marry Xiao Shao'er is only this time.

Thinking of her stunned appearance when she received the holy decree, Yan Shu couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Smiling like this, he was very different from the way he looked when he asked the old emperor to punish the second prince with his sharp mouth.

Others couldn't see his expression behind him, but the old emperor sat on the dragon chair, but he happened to see all this clearly.

His old heart was a little inexplicably sour.

Once upon a time, he also had such a sweet moment, but unfortunately after learning the identity of that person, his sweetness became bitter forever.

"That's it......" The old emperor leaned his head back on the dragon chair, sighed lightly, and suddenly said loudly, "Yan Kuo gathers a fierce desire to murder his own brother, it is fratricide, since the first emperor has tried his best to prevent the Yan brothers from fratricidal, but it still can't stop you...... Alas, although you are all my own sons, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, you can divide right and wrong, day and night, the men of the Yan family, since they have made mistakes, they will be punished. Now I punish Yan Kuo for not leaving the Second Prince's Mansion for half a step within five years, and all the affairs under his jurisdiction will be handed over to others...... As for those people in the rivers and lakes, just kill them! ”

Such a completely different attitude from the previous one shocked everyone in the Jinluan Hall dumbfounded.

Yan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Yan Kuo struggled frantically after the shock, not letting the two Praetorian Guards drag him away, and shouted wildly, "Father, I am your favorite son, why don't you hurt me this time?" Why? Why did you want to let me go? Why did you change your mind again? I don't live up to my father, Yan Shu is not dead, why do you want to trap me for five years, why do you ...... Father......

The old prince glanced at the second prince's crazy appearance, closed his eyes with some hatred, and waved his hand.

The two Praetorian Guards increased the strength in their hands again, and forcibly dragged Yan Kuo out of the Jinluan Hall quickly.

The old emperor sighed, opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Yan Shu's body, and said in a light tone, "Fourth, these days...... You take the time to sort out the ones that your second child was in charge of before. A better user experience.
