So Qu Fucheng has something to see the prince, and he can't slack off. I can only follow the rules to interrogate first, and then go to help spread the word.

"Lord Wei, forgive me, these words can't be said to outsiders, only to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Master Qu, you are making this official embarrassed...... If you don't have something of great importance, how can the Ruler pass it on to you? ”

"Under the morning light, there is a mountain of gold, and the flying dragon is not visible in the sky." Qu Fucheng chanted a poem and said mysteriously: "My lord, just tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, His Royal Highness naturally knows the importance of the matter, and will naturally come over." Tired adults. ”

Wei Dongqi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, this official will help you go to the communication." ”

"Thank you, criminal." Qu Fucheng Shi Li said.

Wei Dongqi nodded and asked the jailer to take Qu Fucheng back to his cell.

"Under the morning light, there is a mountain of gold, and the flying dragon is not visible in the sky...... What does that mean. Wei Dongqi muttered.

Since he has already agreed to pass it on, he does not dare to slack off. With this sentence in mind, I went to the prince's mansion.

The prince listened to Wei Dongqi's words and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lord Qu to be quite literate...... Okay, the palace knows, so I went to ask my father to see what my father meant. ”

"This ......," Wei Dongqi reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, don't let Your Majesty know, right?" Look at the meaning of Qu Fucheng, this seems to be a very secret matter, and it can only be said to His Highness. ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense", the prince laughed casually, "Now that he is a death row prisoner in the prison of the Criminal Department, if this palace does not know his father and the emperor, he goes to see him in private, and let people seize the handle, wouldn't it be a big mistake?" ”

"Old Wei......" The prince patted Wei Dongqi's shoulder and said with great gratitude, "You think so much about this palace, this palace is really grateful......"

Wechen was terrified. For the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is the duty of Weichen. Wei Dongqi hurriedly bowed and said.

The prince sighed: "These people around the palace, whether they do things well or badly, whether they are dedicated to the palace or not, whether they are loyal to the palace or others, the palace has a number in their hearts. Lao Wei, you are a usable person, and after this palace, it is indispensable to rely on you! ”

"Whatever Your Highness commands, just give it an explanation. Weichen must go to the soup and fight the fire. Wei Dongqi said.

The prince smiled: "Okay, with Lord Wei's words, the palace will rest assured." It's nothing to do, Lord Wei should go and get busy first, and the palace will go to the palace. ”

"Yes." Wei Dongqi replied and retreated with full doubt.

What's wrong with the prince today? Why is it that he is suddenly so lenient and respectful? Before, I had something to say, and I didn't say much nonsense or care, let alone these words of gratitude.

Wei Dongqi was surprised at first, but on the way back to the Criminal Department, he thought carefully about the prince's words and noticed the clue.

What did the prince say...... Is it allegiance to the main palace or to others...... What is the meaning? Then he said that he was a usable person, and he would inevitably rely on him in the future...... What does this mean, why does it seem that he wants to separate from the Zhenguo Mansion and do it alone?

If the prince's intentions are here, to say so is to remind him. Talk to him ahead of time so he has enough time to think about it. So that when it's time for the real trick, you can make a choice quickly and don't drag on time.

The prince took this opportunity to mention Wei Dongqi, and he didn't care about Wei Dongqi's reaction, after all, it was not yet time to really need to use him alone.

Now the top priority is how to do a good job of investigating the third child.

went to the imperial study to see the emperor, and told the emperor about Qu Fucheng's reaction in the cell and the words that Wei Dongqi conveyed to him. It was as if he had nothing to do with Qu Fucheng in the first place.

"Under the morning light, there is a mountain of gold, and the flying dragon is unknown in the sky......" The emperor pondered this poem, and he didn't understand what it meant for a while.

The crown prince took the opportunity to be surprised and said, "Father, what do you say...... What does this poem mean? Why is Erchen so confused? But don't say something casually, deliberately lure his retainers to see him, and play some tricks. ”

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair and smiled casually: "Everyone is in prison, what tricks can you play?" Why don't you go and see what he has to say? ”

"Yes. Then the minister went over and came back to report to his father. The prince said.

The emperor smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for the prince to step down.

After the crown prince stepped back, the emperor's smile was suppressed, staring at a certain point in the imperial study...... Qu Fucheng bit Lin'er in advance, and at this time said that he had something important to see him, and Lin'er also specially entered the palace to report it, as if he was in trouble. It's a lot of fun...... It just depends on what news Lin'er brought back.

After reporting to the emperor, the prince will be much more relieved to go to the prison of the Criminal Department. This was asked by his father to come, no matter what news he brought back, it was all his obedience to his father's orders, not his own calculations. Even if his father didn't want to find fault with him, he couldn't find anything.

When he arrived at the Criminal Department, he interrogated Qu Fucheng privately in the Yamen of the Criminal Department. Naturally, it was a private conversation between the two of them. First, because Qu Fucheng said that this matter was confidential and could only be told to the prince alone, and second, no one dared to listen to anything around the prince, wouldn't that be equivalent to monitoring the prince? No one has the guts to do that.

The prince asked Qu Fucheng to copy all the pamphlets he took out, put the pamphlet he brought in his arms, and rolled up the long scroll that Qu Fucheng had copied and held it in his hand. whispered a few more words to Qu Fucheng, and then frowned and left the back hall of the yamen of the Criminal Department.

In his carriage, he burned the pamphlet he brought, and only took the things copied by Qu Fucheng into the palace.

With a solemn face, he entered the imperial study and gave a salute to the emperor. After the emperor asked him to get up, he didn't ask him, and he didn't say anything.

Seeing that the crown prince was frowning and silent, the emperor leaned back on the dragon chair and asked, "What did Qu Fucheng say?" ”

The prince said: "What Qu Fucheng said is really a big deal...... It's just that Erchen doesn't know how to talk about it. First, the son was not sure whether what he said was true or false; The second is that Erchen feels that this matter should not be said by Erchen. It's just that even if he doesn't know the truth of this matter, it is impossible for Erchen to check it in person. Thinking about how trivial this matter is, even if the son is unwilling to show anything in front of his father, he has to say it. How to deal with it, let the father decide personally. ”

"You say." The emperor only said these two words simply, as if he didn't listen to the prince's words at all.

The prince was not verbose, and happily answered "yes", and said: "Erchen summoned Qu Fucheng in the back hall of the yamen of the criminal department and asked him what was the matter. Qu Fucheng thought that he had made up his mind, and he said it quite happily. Say...... said that he knew some of the details of the third brother. ”

The crown prince raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor, and when he saw that the emperor's expression was as usual, he continued: "Qu Fucheng said that he knows that the third brother has some industries outside, and these industries have a lot of income every year. He felt that there must be something wrong with these industries. But because he was already in prison at this time, he couldn't find out what kind of cat he was, so he told his son. ”

Erchen estimated that Qu Fucheng felt that the third brother asked him to frame Erchen, and Erchen must have hated the third brother in his heart, and when he knew these things, he would definitely go to investigate immediately, and then go to his father to expose the third brother. In this way, the third brother was punished by his father, and he also took revenge...... He himself said to his son, saying that after the third brother used him, he wanted to get rid of him by the hand of Wang Fa, and he didn't plan to avenge him, he hated the third brother very much, and wanted to teach the third brother a lesson. ”

The prince sneered very contemptuously and said: "The villain is accustomed to loving to treat people with the heart of a villain, and he himself is a villain who will repay him, so he thinks that the same is true for his sons. Although Erchen has a lot of complaints about the third brother's approach, he will not retaliate against him behind his back. Qu Fucheng's abacus was wrong. Merely...... What he said really shocked Erchen......"

After a pause, he raised his eyes slightly to see the emperor's reaction. Finding that his father was still listening carefully, he continued: "So the retainer asked him how he knew this, and whether he could be sure that what he said was true. Qu Fucheng said...... In fact, the friendship between the third brother and Lord Cai is just an illusion, since he inspected Sanhuai the year before last, he has already started to do things for the third brother. It's just that it's always in the shadows, and it's never been in the open. Tomorrow, in order to avoid suspicion, the third brother always shows that he looks down on him......"

Erchen thought about it carefully and found that when he was in Sanhuai, the third brother's attitude towards Master Qu was indeed not very good, but he didn't take it to heart at that time. Now that I think about it, the third brother has always been lenient with others, why did he treat Master Qu so much? If not deliberately, how can this be? ”

The prince paused deliberately, as if he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly withdrew his words and continued: "Qu Fucheng said that the third brother asked him to help solve a business matter. At that time, he kept an eye on it, followed the vine, and found out all these in case of emergency. What he found out was really true, and there was absolutely no half-falsehood. said that he was willing to guarantee the head of the item. ”

"So...... The retainers listened carefully to him for a while. felt that it was really important, so he asked him to write down all the things he said so that he could show his father and the emperor. ”

After the prince finished speaking, he handed a roll of paper in his hand to the emperor. Then he stepped aside, silent, and waited for the emperor to make a decision.

In order to make it difficult to be unwilling to get involved in this matter, but have to be mixed up. He has said everything that needs to be said, and this is his last resort; Except for the things that should be explained, he doesn't care about it, this is as an elder brother, his care and mind for his younger brother.

The emperor looked carefully at what the prince presented, and gradually, his brows tightened......
