"Let King Zhao preside over a thorough investigation of the Jianling bloodbath?" Ji Guogong's expression was still calm, but his eyes were cold, and he said categorically, "Absolutely not!" ”

The first king of Zhao asked puzzledly: "Uncle, why not?" Didn't you allow me to argue for my eldest brother at the court meeting before? Now I can return my eldest brother to an innocent ......"

"Your Highness!" Ji Guogong waved his hand to stop the rest of the people, and said calmly, "Your Highness intends to defeat the crown prince with an upright teacher, so that Your Majesty can change the position of the prince, yes or no?" ”

Seeing King Zhao nodding, he laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, "The problem is that now that the four seas are peaceful and the politics are clear, even if His Highness is confident that he is the prince and the king, he can do better than the crown prince - but the court is too peaceful, how can you prove this?" ”

King Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and was speechless for a while: the education he received since he was a child is that he is the concubine of the middle palace, and he should be upright and upright. So he knew that he was competing with the prince for the throne, but he didn't want this brother to fall under the slander!

But now Ji Guogong's question makes him not know how to answer - indeed, he has the confidence to do better than the prince, but if there is nothing for him to perform, how can he convince the public? Not to mention that Emperor Xianjia changed his mind!

It is impossible to hope that Darui will fall into internal and external troubles in order to compete for reserves, right?

King Zhao hasn't lost his heart to this point!

Besides, Ji Guogong also talked about this situation: "What's more, although Your Majesty loves you, so far, the Sacred Heart still belongs to the prince. Even if there is anything in the dynasty that requires the prince to come forward to preside over the overall situation, dare to ask His Royal Highness, will Your Majesty send the crown prince out at that time, or you? ”

"......" King Zhao was silent.

Unless Emperor Xianjia changes his mind and no longer favors the prince, he has the opportunity to perform, and he can't take the turn of other princes at all; However, King Zhao's plan to seize the crown is to gain the attention of Emperor Xianjia through performance, prompting him to reconsider the candidate for the prince - an understatement by the Duke of Ji has proved that King Zhao's thinking is exactly contrary to reality and is impossible to achieve!

Seeing King Zhao's confusion, Ji Guogong accepted it when he saw it, and turned around to explain him: "Besides, this matter, even we know that it has nothing to do with the crown prince, how wise and martial Your Majesty is, how can it not be clear?" And His Majesty has not expressed his position so far, maybe, he just wants to see the prince's methods! ”

Next to him, Qiu Shuxia said: "What Guogong said is good! Your Royal Highness, please think: The crown prince is young and undertakes court training, and His Majesty can be said to have taught him everything! In this case, it is natural that there will be some school examinations! His Royal Highness defended it at the court meeting today, and it can be said that it is for the sake of the righteousness of all brothers, if he continues to interfere, wouldn't it be too much and disrupt His Majesty's arrangement? ”

King Zhao's talent, although it is very good for his age, but where will he be the opponent of these two elders of the two dynasties?

At this moment, listening to what they said was the Tao, I couldn't help but groan: "This ......"

"If Your Highness insists on your own opinion, we believe that Your Highness is full of righteousness and has no selfishness!" Seeing this, Ji Guogong snorted slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that other people will use the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman, but His Royal Highness is deliberately stealing the opportunity for the prince to show his means - when the time comes, the government and the opposition will not discuss the matter, and even Your Majesty will misunderstand you, but how will you defend yourself?" ”

King Zhao has always been accustomed to hearing teachings such as "dignified and dignified", how can he tolerate such an act of "stealing" being put on himself? Hearing this, he frowned for a long time, and was finally convinced: "That being the case, Aunt Daiguo's proposal is really unacceptable!" ”

Ji Guogong and the others quietly exchanged glances, and they were all secretly relieved!

- This proposal was originally put forward by the princess as revenge, or by beating, how could she have good intentions towards King Zhao?

Today, King Zhao has clearly expressed his trust and support for the prince in the matter of the Jianling bloody case at the court meeting!

If he came to preside over a thorough investigation, and the final result was exactly the opposite of his previous statement, then King Zhao would not only slap himself in the mouth, but also be suspected of his previous intentions to help the prince speak!

If he finds out the truth, that is, the crown prince is indeed innocent - this move proves that his glory is high, but it will also greatly offend the queen mother!

After all, the prince is in such a predicament today, and the main role is the queen mother!

And King Zhao's goal is not to be a good person, his goal is to compete for the prince, the queen mother's favor is much more important than a good reputation!

All in all, this difference makes King Zhao absolutely unable to take it!

"I think it's the princess who is acting for the eldest princess and saw our intention to let King Zhao speak for the prince at the court meeting today, so she came to remind her!" After dispelling King Zhao's naïve calculations, Ji Guogong coaxed him to find Su Shaoge in a few words, but left Qiu Shuxia and the others to speak, "Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also knows the general situation, and this only told us in private, and there is no intention to put it forward in the court openly - but now is indeed not the time to offend King Wei's faction, at least in the next scene, let's not count them first." ”

Qiu Shuxia groaned: "I'm afraid that the princess of the acting country will not go to the court to mention it, and the prince will also fight His Royal Highness King Zhao's idea." ”

"Don't worry about this!" Ji Guogong took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Earlier, when the Queen Mother wanted to send Shaoge to Qingzhou as a messenger to administer justice for Bofeng, didn't Gu Shao say it?" Our Su family has to avoid suspicion - His Royal Highness King Zhao is Bo Feng's uncle, and he has always been friendly with my Su family, is he also among the suspects? So this Jianling bloody case, how can he let His Royal Highness King Zhao go down to investigate? ”

Qiu Shuxia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, stroked her beard and said, "Now it's up to the Acting Princess's means!" ”

"And those who haven't said anything?" Ji Guogong reminded, "After all, it's not time to take it lightly - but it's just to help the acting princess so that she can extinguish the fire!" ”

At the court meeting the next day, the Duke of Ji used the excuse that Su Bofeng was about to arrive in the imperial capital, and his heart was painful, and he coaxed King Zhao to the Duke of Ji Mansion early to "comfort" himself - there was no King Zhao to stir up the court, and the two kings of Wei and Zhao joined forces to hand over the envoy who thoroughly investigated the bloody case of Jianling to Huang Jingting, the Qing of Dali Temple, which was the old department of the old Fuyang Marquis, and the princess and his wife had always been very close.

The Jianling bloody case is in his hands, of course, it is ironclad evidence that the prince did it!

The matter is big, at the previous Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the government and the opposition can see that Emperor Xianjia's royal body is really not very good. So after this conclusion came out, everyone did not dare to tell the emperor.

Especially after hearing the news, the Queen Mother wiped away her tears and said: "The prince was raised by the emperor single-handedly, and he used to look at the etiquette, but he didn't want the emperor to recuperate for more than half a year, and he actually made such a fool!" If the emperor knows, how can it be good?! ”

Who dares to tell Emperor Xianjia the news now, in case this emperor really has three longs and two shortcomings, can he still run away with the crime of killing the king?

And after the Queen Mother's words spread out, the government and the opposition discussed for a while: "Your Majesty has only been sick for more than half a year, even if you neglect to supervise His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, he is still in power, His Royal Highness is lawless to this point, is it a sign of Mingjun?" ”

"Before he ascended the throne, he killed his mother and nephew, and that is still the only male grandson of the Su family so far - if he really inherits the unification, I am afraid that even the queen mother will not be spared, such a person, it would be good not to be a faint tyrant, how can you talk about Mingjun?!"

"Even the Queen Mother, who is a grandmother, is extremely disappointed, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only cruel by nature, but also not a filial and compassionate person, otherwise how can the Queen Mother not protect her own blood and bones?"

East Palace.

The crown princess had a gloomy face, rolled up her wide sleeves, and hurried through the corridor.

"Mother, why are you here?" After stepping into the flower hall, seeing the Tian family who was holding a tea bowl not far away, the crown princess hurriedly dissipated a gloomy face, changed her expression to a casual expression, made a family salute, and said gently, "But you are optimistic about Yinlian?" ”

When Tian came back to see his eldest daughter, he mentioned the marriage of his youngest daughter, so the princess asked this - but when she heard this, she sighed and said, "Who cares about such a trivial matter now?" Hengzhi She is only sixteen this year, and the Pei family is eighteen, hasn't she said kiss yet? Let it go! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced behind the crown princess, and saw that the princess had sent all the waiters out of the door with understanding, so she continued to ask, "You just went to the front?" What to do? ”

"Dealt with two subordinates who didn't know what to do and chewed their tongues." When the crown princess heard this, she paused before saying, "It's not a big deal—let's talk about my mother's coming over today!" ”

Tian didn't mean to change the topic, and frowned: "If it's just an ordinary person who commits something, how can you use the crown princess to go through it yourself?" There has been a lot of rumors outside, isn't this East Palace also panicking? ”

"What my mother said, there are a lot of people, how can there be few people who listen to the wind and rain?" The crown princess said calmly, "Besides, my daughter didn't go to the front on purpose to dispose of her subordinates, but mainly to stop by to see the prince." ”

He also said, "My daughter has also heard about the things in the court, but no matter how turbulent the rumors are, they are just rumors after all - when the Shentu clan was in power in the past, it was rumored that there were rumors in the market, even the government and the opposition, who doesn't think that the Queen Mother and His Majesty have no physiology?" But what happened later, everyone can see it today! ”

Seeing this, Tian didn't want to say any more frustrating words, greeted some homely things, and left.

Before she left, the crown princess's face turned a little pale, and the henchman palace maid who came up to serve her was taken aback when she saw this: "Niangniang? ”

"Nothing." The crown princess waved her hand tiredly, "I'm a little tired...... Help me in and lie down! ”

Lying on the couch and watching the golden hibiscus tent being put down, her eyes showed a little water: Even the Wei family, her mother's family, is not optimistic about the prince? !

Where could she not see the meaning of the Tian family?

seems to be worried about the current situation of his daughter and son-in-law, but in fact, he is here to probe the wind and see if Donggong can turn over!

If it could, of course it would be best - the Wei family would definitely take advantage of the trend;

If you can't......

The Wei family may not be willing to do anything to send charcoal in the snow!

The crown princess didn't know that her mother's family did this for the sake of the family.

After all, after being Rui Yutang, in the past, four of the six valves in the sea declined to the point that most people have forgotten, and the Wei family can still maintain its current situation, it must not be purely by high wind and brightness - sacrifice, compromise, and concession...... Even betrayal, these methods are not less useful.

But when this kind of thing really happens to him, even if he knows very well in his heart that it is meaningless to drag his mother's family down, how many people can calmly deal with each other?
