In April of the ninth year of Yuanqing, Jinyangjing was sued for two major cases because of the dance of the science field and the drum division, which led to the two major families of Guoqi Kong and Chen in disaster, and Zhongshu was banned from living in a private residence to be investigated, and Chen Gusi had been dismissed from his post pending trial and was imprisoned, and he was a commoner in the city, and he also felt the tension between the prince and Prince Qing, not to mention the two parties.

The weather is warming, but the atmosphere in Kyoto is long without the joy and tranquility of the cold spring, the spring banquets in various prefectures are canceled silently, and the fresh and prosperous suburbs of Beijing are also rare fragrant cars and BMWs, not to mention that the capital is shrouded in an invisible haze, and everyone is worried about it, waiting for the thunderstorm brewing behind the blue wash, which will hit the surface of the wind and sunshine at a sudden moment.

Although the four princes are angry, they already have the determination to break the wrist of a strong man, and they are bound to pull the prince off the horse, otherwise it will be difficult to recover the defeat.

He had already moved his heart to "extinguish his mouth" and was about to send a message to Xiangxi to convict the princelings of the crime.

The four princes have not given up, even if they lose Chen Gusi and Chen Changshi's uncle and nephew, he still has the Qin family, as well as the henchmen behind the Chen family, they are still strong contenders for the storage position, and the premise is that the crown prince must be deposed.

Everything is being laid out according to the Son of Heaven, and the victory of the three princes is developing, Yu Feng is silently concerned, and his heart is a little fixed.

Until I heard that the third prince would go to Jianchang, and secretly met Yu Dong and Huang Tao!

The faint uneasiness in Yu Feng's heart seemed to be becoming more and more realistic, but even though he had already laid his ears and eyes beside Yu Dong, he couldn't detect what the third prince had to say.

And Yu Dong, who had seen the three princes, seemed to have become very excited, and he rushed into Xishanwei, and even the general's mansion rarely went back.

Especially with his few commanders and cronies, he often talks in secret, and the atmosphere is very strange.

And when the third prince left Beijing, the prince suddenly asked him to go to the western suburbs to recuperate because he was unwell.

At the same time, from southern Zhejiang came a famous Dalong opera troupe reputation meeting, even though the atmosphere in Jinyang was very solemn because of the political struggle, many noble women and scholars were still happy to come to Beijing for the reputation meeting, who made several famous actors in this troupe really sought after, which made people admire it for a long time.

Those portals who were not in the center of the struggle had the idea of calling a church meeting, and their reputation would be hot for a while, and they appeared on the stage of Fangyi Hall three times a day for ten consecutive days, and it is said that they were full.

It was Yijing who got Peng Lan's invitation and asked her to go to Fangyi Hall to listen to the play.

"From today on, except for the Patriotic Mansion, don't go out, even if you go to the Patriotic Mansion, you must also mobilize your own soldiers to escort you." Yu Feng stopped Yijing from going out.

Of course, the princess was surprised.

"Before His Royal Highness left, he had already met with the second uncle and Huang Tao privately." Yu Feng frowned: "There is also this reputation meeting, you may not have an image, when the prince was assassinated in the Yingyuan Garden, they were present." ”

Yijing was dumbfounded.

The prince invited himself to go to the Yingyuan Garden, and Yu Dong and Huang Tao were obviously ordained, that is......

"The third prince still wants to take the prince's life!" Yijing gasped.

"It should be so." Yu Feng's voice was heavy: "The holy will is clear, we can't interfere in this matter...... I suspect that things are not the same as that life, the three princes once ruined the innocence of the Jiang family and killed Huang Tao's dead soldiers, intended to warn against revenge, Huang Tao had two intentions, and the three princes must have insight. ”

"And what does he mean exactly?" Yi Jing clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth secretly, and secretly slandered that the demon really refused to stop, the storage position must change, and the Son of Heaven had made it clear that he would pass it on to him, and he was still ......

Yu Feng looked at Yijing, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but finally held the person in his arms: "It's hard to say, in short, you have to be careful about everything during this time, you'd better stay in the palace and don't go out." ”

And the person who doubted the behavior of the three princes was far from Yu Feng alone, and on the official road of Jianchang Mansion, Xue Dongchang rode his horse to catch up with the three princes, and rode side by side with them, far away from his own soldiers.

"Your Highness, your subordinates really don't know, now that you have the chance to win, why do you want to assassinate the crown prince, isn't it too much?"

The prince, who was wearing a blue and black cloak on his shoulders, slowed down his horse's hooves slightly, and his eyes were slight, as if full of sarcasm: "Victory? Even if Qin Xiang and the Chen family can be punished, the fourth child will not sit still, the Qin family and the Chen family have been in business for many years, and there are countless party members, even without them, it is not difficult for the fourth child to be subdued, and besides, the Holy Body is in such a secret that even I can't find out, but the fourth child can gain insight into the secret chess he has, which is not in my control. ”

The third prince chuckled: "To completely eradicate it, the only way to let the prince die, now the prince and the fourth child have become a fire and water, if the prince is stabbed at this time...... The old four hundred people can't argue, and my father will make up his mind, and for me, I can really rest easy. ”

"If the Confucian family, the Qin family, and the Chen family are all eradicated, the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu will be even more powerful and powerful in the future, although they are the father's and emperor's ministers, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be loyal to me, and as soon as the prince and the fourth child die, the power behind them can be used by me with confidence, and borrow to balance the power of the Su family and the king of Chu."

"But what if anything goes wrong...... Huang Tao is cunning and untrustworthy. Xue Dongchang is still worried, if he can really succeed in marrying the four princes, of course, everything will be fine, but if Huang Tao has two hearts, the third prince will get into trouble and be defeated.

"That's why I took his eldest son with me." The third prince retracted his gaze, and his eyes were gloomy: "Besides, when I leave Beijing at this time, I also reserve a way back for myself, in case something happens...... At least be able to protect yourself. ”

How can I protect myself? Does the dignified prince want to live incognito in the mountains and wilderness to avoid trouble? Xue Dongchang became more and more suspicious.

"When you arrive in Jianchang, you will be resettled, and you must keep someone to take care of her, and you can't be negligent." The third prince said again: "The fourth child gave her poison, and the antidote will not be issued for half a year, I have asked Miao Shimo to prepare the antidote, you let her take it first." ”

Xue Dongchang was secretly unhappy in his heart, and the third prince was too obsessed, didn't Qianpan look similar to that one...... The two side concubines and three princes in the mansion didn't care about it, but at such an urgent moment, they were still planning for Qianpan everywhere, and even feared that she would be in danger, so they deliberately took her out of Jinyang, this is to wait for the dust to settle in the future, and then take her back to Beijing to directly seal the concubine?

I won't let a maid sit on the throne of the queen!

But Xue Dongchang was loyal, so he naturally would not disobey his master's order, and promised without hesitation.

At this time, in Prince Qing's Mansion, the four princes were talking secretly with Huang Tao, sweeping away the impatience and impetuousness of these days, and regained their vigor and joy.

"This time it's thanks to the second master, otherwise I would have fallen into the trap of the third elder." The fourth prince patted Huang Tao's shoulder with a smile: "As soon as the prince dies at this time, even if there is no evidence, this king will bear the biggest suspicion and will lose his sacred heart, not to mention that the third child has already understood my plan and is waiting for me to fall into the trap, as soon as the two jinshi die, the queen will be able to grasp the evidence of my guilt, and I must think that I am desperate to assassinate the prince." ”

"Your Highness, you have also suspended the plan to blame the prince to destroy your mouth, and you can't act rashly on the side of Jianchang Mansion." Huang Tao easily came up with the overall plan of the three princes, and seeing that he was about to make great contributions, he could not afford to be negligent.

"Of course, I've already recovered the order." The fourth prince raised his eyebrows: "This time, let's protect the prince and let Yu Dong be caught, he will inevitably confess to the third child...... Hu Shizhong's case can also be planted on the third child, saying that he fabricated and framed me, and after this case is cleared, and then when the case of Wuyu is revealed, the prince will be deposed, and who is my opponent? ”

This is really a bright future!

The fourth prince became more and more excited, laughed a few times, but suddenly became cautious: "The second master has made a great contribution this time, and this king is bound to remember it, but your eldest son may not be able to get out of danger......"

Speaking of this, Huang Tao was also very sad, gritted his teeth and held back, and showed his loyalty again: "For the great cause of the prince, I will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths, and I have already instructed my son that it is best if there is a chance to get out, but if there is no opportunity...... It should only be loyal to the new king. ”

"Huang Gong rest assured, this king will not forget your full credit, and you will be ...... in the future This king has granted you the title of marquis. ”

After returning home, he saw his wife Jiang sitting on the kang stupidly, holding the clothes that his eldest son wore when he was a child, and his heart ached.

Since that incident, the Jiang family finally calmed down under his warm words and persuasion, who knew that the ugly incident has been haunted like a nightmare, even the women in the market also point fingers at the Jiang family, and talk behind their backs, not to mention the occasional noble lady who meets the Jiang family on the road, and is even more blunt and sarcastic to her.

Jiang has no face, sticks at home, and his temperament is becoming more and more sensitive and self-restrained.

He was busy with business, and he really didn't have much time to comfort his wife.

Since the removal of the clan, the eldest son and daughter-in-law insisted on reconciliation and divorce, and the marriage of the three sons was difficult, Huang Tao was unwilling to let his son marry ordinary people, so he has been delayed, just waiting for the salted fish to turn over in the future and then ask for his son to marry a famous lady.

There is only the Jiang family in the back house, and it is becoming more and more lonely.

This time, the eldest son was in danger, and the Jiang family felt even more grief, and people became more and more confused and ignorant, and sometimes even he didn't recognize him.

This is all thanks to the three princes! Therefore, even if he wanted to take the life of his eldest son, Huang Tao resolutely did not allow the three princes to succeed in their treacherous schemes and ascend the throne as emperor.

And he finally understood why the third prince had to use Yu Dong and him.

It turned out that he had planned to assassinate the crown prince, and he had to use the two of them in order to do things without leakage and let the three princes stay out of the matter completely.

Not to mention Yu Dong, only he can persuade Kong Jun and let him advise the prince to invite himself to the Maoying Garden - the reason is very high-sounding, the more he is in this situation, the more the prince has to show that he is not nervous, innocent, and left the East Palace, with only more than ten personal soldiers and one or two cronies to accompany him, put himself under the surveillance of the saint, cut off contact with the people of the Kong family, and together with the subordinate official Kong Jun also with the prince "grounded in disguise", even if Kong Zhi is still difficult to escape his guilt in the future, he can also protect Kong Jun and retain the power of the Kong family to the greatest extent.

Under such circumstances, because the prince wanted to show relaxation, he invited the famous troupe who had come to Kyoto to sing a church meeting in the palace as a pastime.

The prince has been absurd over the years, indulging in lust, drunk and dreaming of death, if he changes his past mistakes because of the Wushu case, he is cautious in everything, and it will make the Son of Heaven more and more suspicious.

More importantly, the third prince had an order a few years ago to recommend a few cronies to Kong Jun and train them to become the prince's personal soldiers.

Therefore, in order to ensure safety, let the prince die in Maoyingyuan, and die in the hands of the famous actor whose actual identity is "Beiyuan spies", it must be Huang Tao.

There is a reputation in the light, Huang Tao's personal soldiers are in the dark, and the prince has no way to live.

And Kong Jun will also be killed on the spot, including the rest of the soldiers.

The charge of participating in the assassination of the prince will be planted on the heads of the slain soldiers, and of course they are instigated by whom, of course, they have no clue.

Fame will make people a dead man, and they will not keep their own mouths alive.

Of course, the palace is a royal palace, and there are more than 100 palace guards stationed in it, and only three or two personal soldiers in Huang Tao's hands and more than ten assassins in the reputation will not be enough to kill the prince, so it is necessary to transfer the palace guards away first, so that they can't get out to protect the prince.

This is inseparable from Yu Dong's participation.

Huang Tao has discussed with the four princes and decided that in order to prove that the three princes are the masterminds behind it, Yu Dong must be arrested.

As for Yu Dong's fact that Huang Tao was originally a confidant of the third prince, it was empty and unfounded, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Because Huang Tao will become the hero who guarded the prince's escape this time, how could the Son of Heaven believe Yu Dong's "sophistry"?

In late April, the Son of Heaven finally allowed the prince to go to the Huiying Garden to recuperate, and the prince Kong Jun accompanied him, and Huang Tao, who was Kong Jun's staff, was also invited by the prince to go with him.

After Yu Feng got the news, he said to Yijing that night: "Things are not the same as that life, Huang Tao did not go to Maoying Garden with him back then, but his eldest brother went with him...... This time, Huang Tao is here, and the prince's life is not in danger. ”

It's very simple, if Huang Tao has no two intentions, he is loyal to the third prince, and he will not compensate himself into the garden, as soon as the prince dies, he will not be able to get rid of suspicion, since he goes, he will definitely keep the prince safe.

"The three princes ......" Yijing felt a headache, if the four princes were allowed to ascend the throne, Huang Tao would become a hero, and it would be even more unfavorable to the Chu Wangfu and the Weiguo Mansion, and now, Yijing is even more convinced that the eldest brother was assassinated in the palace with the prince, it must have been arranged by Huang Tao behind his back, and he did not let go of the eldest brother while assassinating the prince.

The third prince still had to rely on the help of the Weiguo Mansion back then, so he should not assassinate the eldest brother, but obviously he would not stop Huang Tao for the sake of the eldest brother, and adopted an attitude of indulgence and secret promise.

Thinking of this, Yi Jing couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, but in the current situation, it was obviously not a wise move to be an enemy of the three princes.

"If that's all there is to it, don't worry, I'm worried about the three princes...... He will not return to Kyoto. Yu Feng said in a deep voice.
