Chapter 116: True and False Traps
Ban Yu got up from the ground and looked at the stacked mountains with his eyes.
Chongmo understood, and said to Yunyi's father-in-law and Diezhang: "Father-in-law, Diezhang, you guys should also go out." ”
"Your Highness!" Stacking is worried that Ban Yu will not be good for Chongmo.
Heavy ink eyes are deep.
Diezhangcai and Yunyi's father-in-law walked out of the hall very reluctantly.
Chongmo sat down on a chair and said, "Now you can say it." ”
Ban Yu nodded: "Your Highness the Nine, the crown prince colluded with the blue merchants of the Western Realm to hoard old iron weapons and then sell them to the blue merchants, but Ban Yu estimates that they are not businessmen, but military spies of the blue people." ”
The blue people are in the wilderness on the border of the western border, living in a nomadic way, iron ore resources are scarce, and they have been the fierce rivals of the imperial court since ancient times, and they have a deep grudge, and now the blue people are at war with the imperial court, as the prince, they disregard the safety of the country, and in order to make huge profits, they actually resell the iron weapons prohibited by the state to the enemy!
Chongmo was so shocked that he stood up from his chair: "Is this serious? ”
"Ban Yu didn't dare to fabricate it."
Chongmo couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while, but seeing that Ban Yu didn't look like he was lying, he asked: "There is evidence for this matter." ”
"Hmm." Ban Yu took out a contract with a transaction seal from his body.
Heavy ink look, it is really a trade contract for iron waste weapons, which is clearly marked with the specific number, weight and name of the iron weapons, the number of transactions is very large, but the payment is not the prince's seal, but a seal called Yeqi, this is the prince's shrewdness, leaving no traces of himself everywhere.
"Nightshade...... Where do they trade? ”
"On the 10th day of the first month of every month, there will be a fixed place in the blue people's market to secretly hand over."
"The tenth day of the month."
"Yes, Your Highness the Nine, as soon as you explain this point in front of the emperor, it will be a devastating blow to the crown prince."
Indeed, this is a heavy hammer, but it is not easy to grasp the proportion, and if you hold it well, it is indeed a fatal blow to the prince, and if you don't do it well, you will be affected. Moreover, how do you know that this is not a trap carefully set by a prince?
Chongmo's eyes were like a sword, sweeping across Ban Yu's face, but Ban Yu looked calm, and couldn't see any flaws, Chongmo nodded: "Ban Yu, when I send someone to verify this matter, if you want to leave Qianning Palace, I will send someone to help you do it." ”
Chongmo turned around and left the Fang Hall, Diezhang and Yunyi's father-in-law stood by the door, Diezhang looked at Chongmo anxiously, Chongmo said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go to the meeting hall." He said to the people below: "Call Zhang Biji to the council room." ”
In the conference hall, Zhang Biji came.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" As soon as Zhang Biji entered the door of the conference hall, he felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, and knew that Chongmo must have something important to decide.
Chongmo simply recounted the meeting and conversation with Ban Yu in the Fang Hall just now.
Zhang Biji is a very stable person, and he was also surprised when he heard this: "What has His Highness decided to do?" ”
"The first thing to do is to verify the truth of this matter, and then get strong evidence......" Chongmo looked at Zhang Biji expectantly.
Zhang Biji immediately understood, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, Biji is willing to pretend to be a Hengyuan merchant to investigate the matter of the transaction between Yeqi and the Blue People. ”
"The frontier Xiye is thousands of miles away, and this is at least a few months and a half a year, and there are countless risks. Be careful. Chongmo said and patted the case: "Little Yellow Fairy!" ”
The little yellow fairy jumped out of the brocade soft nest, waiting for the master's command.
"Follow Brother Biji on a mission."
As soon as Chongmo's words fell, the little yellow fairy jumped into Zhang Biji's arms, it seems that the little yellow fairy loves Zhang Biji far more than Stacked Ridge, and the little Yellow Fairy still screamed twice at Stacked Ridge, pouting at Stacked Ridge and snorting at Stacked Ridge.
Chongmo and Zhang Biji were amused and laughed.
After laughing, Chongmo turned back to Stacking Ridge and said, "Stacking Ridge, you also have a task." ”
"Your Highness, whatever the task, just leave it to Stacked Mountains."
"Ban Yu has an ink-colored medicine bottle on his body, which contains a trace of Yan'er's blood, and it is important for us to control Ban Yu if you find a way to steal it."
"Yes!" Stacking Zhang is worried that Chongmo can't do anything to Ban Yu.
There was a rush of footsteps outside, and he knelt down outside the door for a long time: "Queen Sheng'an." ”
The queen is coming!
"Go down first!" Chongmo glanced at Zhang Biji and Diezhang towards the side door, Zhang Biji and Diezhang understood, and quickly withdrew from the side door, leaving only Yunyi's father-in-law standing with his hands down.
"Mo'er!" The queen wore a golden step on her head, a long trailing skirt, rich and graceful, luxurious and elegant, and stepped in in silk soft satin shoes inlaid with gold and embroidered silver.
"Huang Eniang!" Chongmo knelt down to see the queen.
"Mo'er, no need to be polite." The queen picked up Chongmo, took his hand with an anxious face, walked to the brocade couch copywriter and sat down: "Mo'er, it's not good." ”
"Huang Eniang, what's the matter?" The queen was so panicked, Chongmo had already guessed that it was because of the marriage between King Rui and Jinheng, but he looked indifferent and was unmoved by the queen's panicked mood.
The two maids helped the queen sit on the wide chair paved with gold satin, and then said: "Mo'er, the queen mother is in charge, the marriage between King Rui and the Jinheng family, the emperor has agreed." ”
"Huang Eniang, the child already knows." Chongmo replied lightly.
Seeing Chongmo's calm and calm expression, the queen was a little breathless: "Mo'er, the marriage between King Rui and the Jinheng family is very bad news for us, it's too bad news." ”
Chongmo smiled indifferently, still with a breezy and faint expression: "The emperor's mother is worried, Mo'er has a humble status in the eyes of the emperor, and it is naturally difficult to climb the Jinheng family, so it is better for the child to be an ordinary prince." As for whether the princes of various families are competing for the throne or living in harmony, Chongmo should not be asked. ”
The queen seemed to be hit hard by Chongmo's words, and said angrily: "Mo'er, why are you so confused, the prince has always taken our mother and son as a thorn in his side, and our Cheng family as a thorn in his side, I can't wait to pull out our thorn in the eye immediately, marrying the Jinheng family is a rare and best opportunity for us, once the marriage is successful, we can hold the power, and the Cheng family can also restore its former glory, and I will not worry about living under the feet of the prince in the future!" Otherwise, the consequences will be terrible......"
Before Chongmo could answer, the figure by the door swayed, and several brightly dressed maids rushed in, and the queen just wanted to blame, followed by two richly dressed girls, and shouted straight in her mouth: "Huang Eniang, come to Chongmo's brother here and don't inform us, so that we will look for you all over the world." ”
These two girls are the two princesses of Empress Xiaozhi, Deping and Ruyi.
The two girls came in, sat down next to the queen on the left and right, and then pouted their faces and said to Chongmo: "Brother Chongmo, you ran out to play for a month, and you didn't play with us when you came back." ”
The queen was a little angry with these two pampered daughters, and said, "Deping, Ruyi, you two go back first, and I have something to discuss with your brother Chongmo." ”
Ruyi hugged the queen's arm and shook it: "What is the matter that the emperor and Brother Chongmo discussed, it's not that Jin Xiangwu and King Rui are married." ”
"Ruyi!"
Ruyi rolled her eyes, pursed her lips again, and then closed her mouth.
Deping is two years older than Ruyi, and he is more stable than him, and said: "Huang Eniang, Ruyi is actually right, what is the big deal about the marriage between King Rui and the third lady of the Jinheng family, Jin Xiangwu, they can be united, we can dismantle it." ”
When the queen heard this, her face turned pale, and she reprimanded: "Shut up, you can talk nonsense!" ”
Chongmo was moved by Deping's words, and smiled: "Sister Deping's tone is so big. ”
Deping was unconvinced and said: "Huang Eniang, what the child said is the truth, not to mention that Jin Xiangwu originally liked our brother Chongmo, wasn't it broken up by them?" ”
