What exactly is in this letter?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty secretly pondered in their hearts.

Except for Emperor Jianwen, who was reading the letter, only Sheng Hong and the three princes knew the content of the letter.

This letter, of course, was forged.

Director Ding is greedy for money and lustful, but he is extremely cautious. After surrendering to the four princes, he actually didn't do anything hurtful. Two months ago, on the night of the night, I was called out by my colleagues to drink flower wine. I didn't suspect the four princes at all.

It wasn't until the second day, when there were three bows and crossbows missing from the storeroom, that Master Ding realized that something was wrong. I was shocked in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything. After consulting with the other three people, he quietly changed the warehouse records. As long as there is no one to investigate thoroughly, the matter will be completely suppressed and unknown.

Unexpectedly, three crossbows appeared in the hands of the Assassins on the wedding day of the Seven Princes.

Director Ding was so anxious that he had to pretend to be indifferent on his face. Before he could come up with any method, he was imprisoned by the fourth prince in the prison of the Ministry of War, strictly guarded and interrogated.

In just a few days, Director Ding's life has been half gone, and he has to confess truthfully.

Director Ding is not a stupid person, he has expected that he will be a substitute for the dead ghost, and he is not resentful in his heart. However, he is in prison, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth, and there is nowhere to sue if he wants to avenge his grievances. Moreover, it is a fact that he was derelict in his duties, and it is also a fact that he changed the records of the treasury, and it cannot be regarded as wronged.

The colleague who tortured him to confess his guilt whispered when no one was around: "Confess your guilt honestly and give you a good time." If you bite indiscriminately, your wife and children, young and old, will not survive. ”

Chief Ding had to confess his guilt with hatred.

Director Ding never had the opportunity to see his wife and children, so naturally it was impossible to tell such secret matters.

Fortunately, there are always "warm-hearted people" in this world.

Sheng Hong found someone who was good at imitating other people's handwriting, wrote all the "hardships" of Director Ding on the letter, and then secretly arranged for someone to go to Ding's house.

After the accident of Master Ding, the Ding family was already in chaos. Ding Chuang, the son of the Ding family, is fifteen years old this year, which is the age of blood and impulsiveness. After being moved by the promised future, there was this "death advice" last night.

As for the three princes, ready-made good things are sent to the door, which can not only cut off the wings of the four princes, but also cut the face of the four princes, which is unreasonable.

Under careful planning, today's court is full of good shows.

……

After reading the letter, Emperor Jianwen's face was as cold as ice, and his gaze coldly swept over the faces of the four princes.

The fourth prince's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to show any difference on his face, revealing a puzzled expression: "I don't know what is written in this secret letter?" Is it really related to this case? ”

In front of a group of courtiers, Emperor Jianwen didn't want to expose his family ugliness, so he only said coldly: "This matter can be discussed later!" ”

Then he looked at Elder Lu Ge: "Elder Lu Ge, what else is going on in the court today?" ”

Lu Ge Lao was so sleek and old-fashioned, and immediately started: "The old minister does have something to say. In two days, the spring festival will be released. After that, there is the temple examination. In previous years, the questions of the palace examination were all written by the emperor himself. I don't know if the emperor will ask the question according to the usual practice in the spring of this year......"

The triennial imperial examination is a grand event. After passing the palace examination, these protégés will be assigned to various ministries, starting from low-level officials and becoming a new force in the officialdom of Daqi.

In this year's spring, the number of people who took the exam was the highest in the past. Among them, there are even the grandsons of Lu Gelao, Li Gelao, and Zhao Gelao, and there are not a few children and nephews of officials in the DPRK and China.

As soon as Lu Ge mentioned this matter, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Emperor Jianwen's expression softened slightly, and he smiled casually: "I will personally come up with the question." ”

His eyes swept over the faces of the ministers, and he smiled again: "I have heard that there are many outstanding young people participating in the Spring Festival this year, and I would also like to see these outstanding young men appear in the Jinluan Hall and become protégés of the Son of Heaven." ”

The ministers immediately bowed their hands, and they responded in unison.

After that, it was the ministers who began to discuss the matter.

No one spoke of the Assassins anymore, and no one gave the princes a second look.

The third prince quietly exchanged a knowing look with Sheng Hong.

This secret letter has completely angered Emperor Jianwen. This time, the four princes did not take off their skin, and they didn't want to pass the test safely.

……

Inside the Jiaofang Palace.

Xie Mingxi entered the palace today to ask for peace, Zhao Changqing, Li Xiangru Yin Xiaoxiao were all there, and Xiao Yuhan, who had finished confinement, also entered the palace today.

Empress Yu is quite generous to her daughters-in-law, especially Xiao Yuhan, the third princess, who is even more upright and elevated.

After asking Sister Fu'er, Empress Yu looked at Li Xiangru again, and knocked a few words lightly: "Li, you have been married into the Four Princes' Mansion for nearly two years!" ”

"Xiao has given birth to a daughter, and Yin is also pregnant. Xie has only been in the door for a month, so he won't mention it for the time being. You're the only one, and there's been no good news for so long. ”

The word heir has always been a sore spot for Li Xiangru.

Concubine Li said a few words, and that's it. It was the first time that Empress Yu mentioned this matter, and she undoubtedly unveiled Li Xiangru's face in front of her daughters-in-law.

Li Xiangru's cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly got up and confessed: "It's all the fault of the daughter-in-law, please ask the queen mother to confess." ”

Empress Yu said lightly: "This palace has no intention of holding you accountable. It's just that as the fourth princess, it is your responsibility to continue the heirs of the heavenly family. If you haven't been happy, you might as well take more concubines for the four princes. ”

Li Xiangru responded in a low voice.

Xie Mingxi watched coldly, and there was not much happiness in his heart.

Queen Yu of that year, after giving birth to a daughter, has no heirs. For this reason, I don't know how much she was mean, ridiculed, and ruthlessly humiliated by Empress Dowager Li.

Now, Queen Yu, who has a bunch of concubines, has finally come out. began to use the same method against his daughter-in-law.

This is actually no different from the Empress Dowager Li back then.

The harem is such a ruthless and terrifying place. Day after day, year after year, intrigue and calculations have turned everyone beyond recognition.

She's used to it, but she'll never like it.

Empress Yu looked at Xie Mingxi again, and her voice was quite gentle: "Xie Clan, how is the injury of the Seventh Prince?" ”

Xie Mingxi calmed down, got up and responded: "If you go back to your mother." His Highness has recovered most of his injuries, and it is okay to move slightly, but it is not advisable to exert too much force. ”

Empress Yu snorted, as if inadvertently mentioning the "January period" of the day: "...... On that day, the four princes set a month's deadline to thoroughly investigate the military department. Today, above the court, it should be known. ”

Li Xiangru's body was slightly tense.

Xiao Yuhan's expression was also a little strange.

Last night, the boy surnamed Ding made a lot of noise. Xiao Yuhan, as the mistress of the Three Princes' Mansion, naturally would not be ignorant. It's just that no matter how she asked, the third prince didn't say a word......

What kind of commotion will there be in the court today?

Xie Mingxi's voice sounded: "What the queen mother said is, we are waiting for the news." ”()
