Chapter Twenty-Four: The Illusion of Floating Clouds Catching Turtles in the Urn

Taking advantage of the dark night, Shangguan Wan went to Lin Xu to pick a few capable cadres, and asked Sun Er to pick a few capable masters from the Jinxuan Division, and with Qi Xin, the group rode away. Because of the curfew, Shangguan Wan held the empress token, but no one could stop them, and no one knew that they had galloped out of the city.

King Alcohol and the third prince Li Chongyu are planning in the palace.

The appearance of the three princes resembles that of the first emperor, and his temperament is as warm as jade, but he is not like a person with a city in his chest, his fair complexion is three points whiter than that of ordinary women, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes look a little relict and independent.

The alcohol king stepped back and took out a document from his arms and shook it in front of the three princes.

The third prince said: "King Alcohol, you don't have to play tricks on your brother anymore, what is this?" ”

After the alcohol king unfolded it, he handed it to the third prince, and slowly spoke: "Brother Wang, in the Jinxuan Division, the empress will definitely send someone to Dengzhou to investigate this case, the empress does not trust anyone, I found out in the palace that Chen Lin and Ji Heng were recommended by King Yin, and their identities are not yet known, so the empress will not use it, as for Wei Ruyi, this salt case will not fall to a place like Dali Temple." In addition to Jin Xuansi who is the empress's person, as for the rest of the humerus ministers under the empress, they have nothing to do with the case, and the empress will not risk her life. ”

King Ji glanced at the document and smiled again: "Brother Alcohol is really clever, where did you get this document?" ”

"Although the Jin Xuan Division is said to be a close confidant under the empress, the little girl of Shangguan Wan is now deeply popular, but it is not difficult for us to insert a few people in, and now Sun Er and his party are loyal to Shangguan Wan, but it is naturally not the turn of Song Tianwolf and their strange people to investigate and handle the case, if it is a reward for meritorious deeds, Song Tianwolf is naturally unwilling to live in Sun Er, but if Jin Xuansi can't handle the case, maybe Shangguan Wan and Sun Er can still be accused of doing things unfavorably, then only Song Tianwolf will be the biggest." The alcohol king paced confidently.

The king was deep: "Song Tianwolf is your person?" ”

King Alcohol's eyes changed before he said: "Naturally it is not my person, there are common interests, and naturally there is a common plan." This document is the next itinerary of their Jinxuan Division, and Shangguan Wan and his party have already set foot on the road to Dengzhou. ”

King Ji smiled: "If you talk about ability, I am not as good as the first prince and the second emperor brother, I don't know why the prince brother voted under my command, if you can't get what you want, isn't it the wrong bet?" ”

King Alcohol paused: "When Her Majesty was still the queen, he favored the six palaces, and we princes had their own concubines, and they were also feared by the empress, and my mother died early, and I also grew up with the empress, and it was my blessing to grow up with several brothers." And since I was a child, Brother Wang has taken care of me more, and now I am only willing to trust Brother Wang. ”

The king just stared at the eyes of the alcohol king, the corners of his mouth lightly hooked a trace of arc, and said lightly: "Now that we have no domain, we are all gathered in this capital, but there is a lot of excitement, born in the royal family, brothers and brothers are extravagant, and I am also flattered that the alcohol king brother trusts me so much." I have few martial ministers, and the younger brother of the alcohol king is still martial, and I will have to rely on you in the future. ”

After bidding farewell to King Alcohol, Princess Yi came out from the back of the study.

"Lord Wang, can you trust the alcohol king?"

King Ji held his wife's hand, just shook his head indifferently: "After all, I and King Yin are compatriots of the same mother, although I was close to King Alcohol when I was young, but later after my aunt entered the palace, King Alcohol seemed to be a different person, first he mentioned the early death of his mother's concubine, maybe he was also placed on the head of the mother emperor by someone with a heart, and now he is growing in his wings, and the mother emperor treats him very favorably, but now he wants to bombard King Yin, what is the intention, if you want to provoke the relationship between mother and son, brotherhood, as he wishes, it is too much to underestimate a few of us." ”

The princess gently rubbed her shoulder for the king, and her voice was soft: "But the salt affairs can also be regarded as the foundation of the country, if we really hold the king of Yin this time, it will not be bad for us." ”

The king held the princess to his knees, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was firm: "The second emperor brother is the first of our brothers to be crowned King Yin, both civil and military, the first emperor loves it, and the mother emperor also loves it, although now the mother emperor is sitting on the country, and my Li family has become not embarrassed or embarrassed, but we are the parents of the mother emperor, and we will not be used by others and kill each other." I had no intention of taking the heir. What's more, since the mother emperor ascended the throne, there have been many suspicions, and the alcohol king's move is a special intention, if the incident happens, push me out, the mother queen will be able to send it lightly for the sake of parents and children. But brothers, mother and son must be suspicious. But if it is done, and King Yin is really implicated and punished, then the purpose of King Alcohol is also half achieved, and one of the most favorable competitors is destroyed, and it is not known who it is in the world in the future. ”

The princess rubbed her frowning brows for the king, her hand was light, and she said slowly: "I am a deep lady, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but the concubine also wants to remind His Royal Highness that King Alcohol's actions are under your banner, if King Yin knows, and Qiong'an in the palace said that he saw you intersecting with him with his own eyes, I am afraid that it was because of misfortune, and he is also a pawn of King Alcohol." ”

King Ji opened his eyes: "What the princess said is reasonable, I have to send someone to the second brother's mansion, so it seems that this alcohol king's plan is to even count me as a chess piece, if he defeats two princes, wouldn't he sit and reap the profits." ”

The princess got up: "The prince must not leak the news to let the king of alcohol know, in this way, why not enter the palace and let the mother queen Xuanyin enter the palace, after all, you are the mother and son of the brothers, although the king of alcohol intends to win over, but to tell this matter and the plate, it is a reputation for the throne, you can give the king of alcohol an urn to catch turtles, as for the Jinxuansi, Song Tianwolf sells the news so much, if you let Shangguan Wan know, it can be regarded as selling our personal favor." In this move, we can make a few points of profit without moving. ”

King Ji rubbed the princess's head and said gently: "It is said that the Liu clan is all smart, men can lead thousands of troops to kill the enemy, and women can sit in the rear to give advice." It seems that my princess is really a wise person."

The husband and wife whispered again.

On the second day, the king entered the palace to face the saint, and after a while, Cao Huanzhi went out of the palace and secretly went to announce that King Yin entered the palace.

The mother and son had lunch together, and the king told him about the affairs of the alcohol king. King Yin's face changed, but the empress smiled: "King Alcohol's child was provoked by your aunt back then, thinking that Concubine Shu's death was caused by me, so he has changed since then, and I raised him, but he hated him." Now he wants to stir up our mother and son, your brothers. Do you have an idea? ”

The king did not speak, but looked at the king of Yin. King Yin said with a grim face: "King Alcohol has pointed the finger at me this time, I'm afraid I have already planned, pretending to make friends with the third brother, and I also want to push the third brother out to block the gun." It's better for us to make the king think that his plan is unimpeded, so that there may be careless mistakes and omissions, and we only need to find evidence one step ahead to overturn him. Song Tianwolf's document is one of them. ”

The empress nodded: "I have sent Shangguan Wan to Dengzhou with someone, if King Alcohol wants to be sure, he will definitely buy through the witness or Shangguan Wan is in danger, so that there is no hope of overturning the case, and Yuxingtian will not escape the death penalty, and King Yin will also be charged with befriending a criminal minister." This alcohol king has a lot of plans, it seems that although Wu Changning is dead, there are still a lot of followers left. ”

King Yin said: "Please also ask the mother emperor to be a metaphor for grace, so that the sons and third brothers can go out of the city. ”

The king seconded.

The Empress nodded, yes.
