Chapter 8 Birth and Wrongdoing

Xu Huwei blocked the news of Emperor Yu's death as soon as possible, and even the imperial doctor was locked in the house and not allowed to come out, although everyone was speculating, but as long as the father-in-law did not announce it, no one dared to talk nonsense, and Xu Huwei was naturally waiting for the prince to wake up.

This night the imperial city was terrifyingly quiet, and no one dared to speak, except Sheng Jia'an in the prison, who did not dare to fall asleep, and his throat was bleeding, until he was beaten and fainted by the other people in the prison.

After a month's journey, Han Wen and his party came to Yujiang City, for the imperial city, Han Wen did not know, the first thing he did when he came to Yujiang City was to secretly check the mine, and found that this is an extremely rich vein, if this is swallowed by the prince by hand and foot, it is amazing, quickly send a letter back to the imperial city, and then prepare to go to the Sheng family, this Sheng family inquired and found it, but all the way I heard people talk about this family, Han Wen is very strange, doesn't it say that the Sheng family still has connections in Yujiang City? Why is it used as an after-dinner argument?

Han Ai: "Grandpa, this seems like something big happened to the Sheng family?" "Han Ai is Han Wen's grandson and Han Qing's elder brother.

Han Wen nodded, "Let's hurry up and see what's going on!" The group finally came to the Sheng family, Han Ai hurriedly went up and knocked on the door, but no one opened the door after a long time. Han Wen was very strange, "It seems that something really happened, Han Ai, you go and ask the old man under the tree over there to see if you can know something!" ”

Han Ai walked over quickly, "Sir, Xiaosheng is polite, I want to inquire about something, what happened to this Sheng family?" Why haven't you seen anyone answer the door for a long time? ”

"I don't know much about it, one day, An An was going to Chang'an, but it didn't take long for him to come back, and then I saw that their family went out with their luggage, yes, and the next people also went home, in a hurry, by the way, and Sister Xiufen, oh, even their ancestors also went out, I haven't seen her go out for decades." The old man wondered as he spoke. After hearing this, Han Ai immediately ran back and said it word for word. Han Wen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, on their way to Yujiang City, they had seen a group of people similar to the Sheng family in the wilderness, and they were also a few women, and they were surprised why they took the child and walked in a hurry. Thinking of this, Hangul decided to ignore the Sheng family's affairs for the first time, so he chose to leave, wanting to go to the bazaar and teahouse, where you can always hear some different voices.

Three days have passed since the second prince committed suicide, and the crown prince finally woke up, but after waking up, he actually went crazy. Accepted such a big change at once, he really couldn't bear it, it was a relief for himself, the chaos in the palace became a pot of porridge, the early dynasty had not been carried out for three days, the ministers wanted to meet, of course, some came to probe the wind, and the princes were also clamoring to see the emperor and the prince, Xu Guards used violence to discourage them, but this is not a long-term solution after all, several of Emperor Yu's cronies are also the old ministers of the country gathered in the house, all silent, feeling the seriousness of the matter, but no one can make up their minds, this Emperor Yu, the prince, The second prince actually had an accident in one day, which they didn't expect. Xu Huwei stood aside, "Elders, things have come to this point, what should I do, the last generals will obey the reason, just to let the emperor be able to enter the ground as soon as possible." ”

Away from the adult, Shubao looked red, "This... This... Thisβ€”" I was speechless.

"Old man Han is not here at the critical time, what do you say this should be? Emperor Yu's edict was written as the second prince, but... Or let three...".

As soon as the word "three" was mentioned, someone slapped the table, "Who is the third prince, don't you know?" Idle all day, rotten wood...".

"Ouch, you are light, you are also a prince, you are disloyal."

"I'm afraid of him, the emperor is not here anyway, I can't go down to accompany the emperor."

"You all don't quarrel!!" At this time, an old marquis stopped everyone, "Let's put aside how the third prince is a person, even if we support him on the throne, others will not agree, I think it is better to write a letter to all my brothers, let them all go to Chang'an once, and decide who to give this throne to!" ”

"Let the princes from all over the world go to Chang'an? Then will they rebel if they know that there is a shortage of the throne? I don't think it's appropriate. An old man immediately rejected the old prince's opinion.

"You dare to look down on the affection of our brothers! When the emperor asked the imperial brother to succeed to the throne, our brothers did not have the slightest selfishness, not to mention that after so many years, everyone is old. Is it necessary to risk the destruction of the country again to snatch the throne? Xu Huwei, I will write seven secret letters in a while, and you will send the most reliable people to the counties, and they can only be opened by the princes themselves. Ladies and gentlemen! I know you can't trust others, but I promise, this is the safest thing to do, if after a long time, other countries also learn of the news of Emperor Yu's death, the consequences are unimaginable, and we can hardly protect the loyalty of the county forces, without the prestige of the imperial brother, it is even more difficult for the dragons to be leaderless. ”。 Everyone in the audience nodded silently.

"Xu Guard, you must personally sit in the palace, so I hope to carefully select the Jinyi Guards who have written the letter, there can be no mistakes, once the news is leaked, internal and external troubles, the country will not be able to protect it."

"The last will understand. King Jiuhou, what about the second prince? The man kept shouting that he was wronged. Xu Huwei took the eight letters, thought about it, or asked this question?

"Did your men find out something?" Away from the adult, Shubao came up again.

"That person's name is Sheng Jia'an, a person from Yujiang City, he was ordered to go to Chang'an to take office, he will not harm people outside the city for no reason, and the second prince did commit suicide, I have seen the corpse..."

"He was the one who killed him"

"What?" Xu Huwei suspected that he had misheard.

I said. That's the one named Sheng Jia'an, who killed the second prince," Hou Wang said, and stood up, "I know you want to give an explanation to innocent people, but the royal family is supreme and beautiful. There can be no such thing as "suicide", you know? Originally, it could be said that the second prince couldn't accept the death of the imperial brother and fell ill, but so many people were there that day... I don't need to say more about the rest, right? ”

The people present unconsciously felt cold, this is the royal style, majesty is supreme. If one day he threatens the majesty of the royal family, then his life must be like a mustard. Xu Huwei nodded, he understood what King Hou meant, and his sense of mission made him understand that he couldn't have any opinions. The next day, the emperor's list was posted, which roughly means that Sheng Jia'an assassinated the second prince, and his crime should be punished, and all people surnamed Sheng in Yujiang City, including those who have dealings with the Sheng family, must be investigated. The news quickly spread to Yujiang City, but what I didn't expect was that the magistrate and the minister made an article from it, and the investigation turned into self-proof, and it was not just the people of the Sheng family, which made the locals panic. If it is investigated, then the law does not blame the public, the relationship between the Sheng family in the local area is extraordinary, and it is normal to have dealings with them. After this became self-proof, some rich people understood that making money was the best solution, and not very rich people could not feed these corrupt officials, and they were arrested and sent to prison. Coincidentally, the Sheng family was empty, so he was directly ordered to be wanted throughout the country, whether he lived or died, he just had to arrest him, and this wanted warrant was valid for a long time. All this made Han Wen, who was in Yujiang City, realize the seriousness of the problem, and he immediately set off to return to Beijing, and was almost arrested and imprisoned by officers and soldiers on the way. It took me a month when I came, and I didn't know how long I would play when I got back, so Hanwen decided to travel day and night.
