Shen did not shy away from the discord between the Shen family and Xu Lizhen, and even mentioned that when Xu Lizhen in Jiangnan beat him privately, he did not hide his thoughts of taking eye medicine in front of the saint.

Emperor Tianqing didn't annoy him with this little caution, and only asked him: "Is it really a coincidence that you went to Hu's house?" ”

Shen was stunned: "Isn't it a coincidence or what?" ”

Emperor Tianqing saw his dazed appearance, and the prince on the side was also inexplicable, as if he didn't understand what he was saying, Emperor Tianqing paused and waved his hand: "It's nothing, I just asked casually." ”

He turned his head to look at the prince,

"You should also know about the Criminal Department today, Feng Yuan took Jinlin Wei to check, the person who poisoned the Criminal Department had been in and out of Yunxiang Building, and he also had something to do with the fourth child......

"How is that possible?"

When the prince heard this, he subconsciously frowned, "Everyone in Yunxianglou knows that it belongs to the fourth brother, and even if he does it, it is impossible for him to involve his own people." ”

"Besides, although the fourth brother and the third brother have a discord, it has not reached the point of fighting to the death, how bad the poisoning of the criminal department is, once it is found, even if it is a prince, it is a capital crime, although the fourth brother is competitive, he will not be so reckless."

"And who do you think did it?" Emperor Tianqing asked.

The prince shook his head: "Erchen doesn't know, on the surface, this matter looks like he wants to frame Cheng Guogong, but after careful investigation, it involves the fourth brother." ”

"Erchen always feels that this person is a little weird, if you want to deal with Chengguo Gong and the fourth brother, then this game should also be more rigorous."

"My father is so wise, and there is no shortage of people in the court who are good at criminal cases, if you want to frame them, you should make it not so easy to find out Yunxianglou, and the fourth brother is not stupid, once the palace asks for the crime, he can easily clear the suspicion."

"But if you want to say that it's not to kill people or frame them with a knife, Erchen can't figure out what the people behind this curtain want to do......"

Emperor Tianqing looked at the prince's puzzled face, and the kid from the Shen family on the side was also thinking hard about the situation, and his eyes flashed slightly, remembering the purpose of coming to the East Palace in anger before.

If the matter of the Criminal Department is not intended to be Chengguo Gong and the fourth child, if he directly ordered someone to lock up the prince just now, then only the prince and the Shen family will be unlucky......

Emperor Tianqing's eyes were a little cold: "No matter what it is, it is extremely vicious after all." ”

The crown prince nodded in agreement: "It is indeed vicious to calculate the lives of others, and my father must find out about this matter, and he cannot let the culprits go unpunished." ”

"Naturally, I won't let the culprit go."

Emperor Tianqing stood up with his desk and stuffed the two official lists into his sleeves,

"Okay, I originally wanted to come over and ask you about the criminal department, but I didn't think about it and made a fuss, I took this list first, you go to the study early tomorrow, I summoned Chen Yin, Shen Zhongkang and a few cabinet elders into the palace to discuss together, to see if there is a suitable one, it should be decided as soon as possible, so as not to scatter the hearts of the people in the court."

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then those people ......"

"Who?"

The prince wanted to speak and stopped, and Emperor Tianqing deliberately teased him when he saw this.

Seeing that the prince was holding back and wanted to say but was afraid that he would be angry, Emperor Tianqing couldn't help laughing:

"Okay, those people are the same, what you said before also makes sense, there were many people who were implicated and deposed in the past. If they are really capable, and it has nothing to do with the old things, after discussing with Yuanfu and them, they will be transferred back to the capital to reactivate, and you think I am despicable and ruthless in the province......"

The prince suddenly blushed: "The son is not, the father is the most wise, and the son was talking nonsense before." ”

Seeing that he was ashamed, annoyed and happy, Emperor Tianqing couldn't help but feel better.

In the past few years, he has indeed alienated the prince, and he has been very prejudiced against him because of the affairs of Yingji, but in fact, he knows in his heart that the prince is the most pure and upright among his sons.

The prince was taught by Yinghui when he was young, and he was also the closest to Yinghui among the princes, but he never chose Yinghui no matter how close he was.

They are father and son, and the prince's temperament is not disobedient and unfilial, but it is because of his heart knots that he has been suppressed everywhere in the past few years, which has made the East Palace weak, and it has also made some people have thoughts that should not be born, and they actually want to use him to eradicate the prince and make their father and son turn against each other.

Emperor Tianqing walked to the prince's side gently, and patted him on the shoulder: "You are my son, the prince of the great cause, you and my father and son have had a misunderstanding in the past, if you have anything to say to me in the future, don't give others a chance to instigate." ”

"You have to remember that as long as you don't do what you shouldn't do, then no one can move your crown prince."

"Father......" The prince's eyes were red.

Emperor Tianqing patted him: "Okay, I still have things to do elsewhere, you remember to come to the imperial study early tomorrow." ”

The crown prince and Shen hurriedly knelt respectfully.

"The son sends off his father."

"Weichen sends your majesty."

Emperor Tianqing was fierce when he came to Deying Palace, and when he left, he was also frosty, but the killing intent in his eyes was no longer aimed at the prince, but at others.

Feng Yuan followed Emperor Tianqing, and after leaving the Deying Palace, he carefully carried a lantern to guide Emperor Tianqing on the way below.

Emperor Tianqing put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Has the prince ever sent me a list of officials before?" ”

Feng Yuan said in a low voice: "The minions don't know. ”

The little eunuch who was in charge of Emperor Tianqing's affairs hurriedly stepped forward: "Back to Your Majesty, not long after the court this morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did give a fold to His Majesty, and His Majesty was a little busy at that time and put it aside. ”

"Go find it."

After leaving the East Palace, the holy driver returned to the side hall, the third prince had already gone to see Chengguo Gong, and the fourth prince and Wu Jinliang were still waiting there.

Emperor Tianqing stood outside the imperial study, and Feng Yuan followed the little eunuch into the inside, and found the folds handed over by the East Palace in the morning in a stack of folds, and by the way, he also saw a few folds pressed next to him.

He pretended to look for it and opened it, and when he saw one of them, he was surprised, and even more shocked when he saw what was written inside, and then raised his eyebrows with interest.

Cheng Guogong is afraid that he is going to be unlucky.

Feng Yuan took the two folds together, and handed the prince's folds to Emperor Tianqing.

Seeing that his face became more and more gloomy after reading it, he pretended to hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, when the slave went to find the prince's excerpt, he also saw an excerpt written by Zhan Yushi. ”

"Zhan Changdong?"

Feng Yuan nodded, holding the fold in both hands and handing it to Emperor Tianqing.

After Emperor Tianqing read the excerpt, his eyes were completely gloomy: "When was this sent, why didn't I see it?" ”

The little eunuch who came out on the side knelt on the ground when he saw him angry: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty and Yuanfu were talking at Langhuan Pavilion before, and three or four folds were sent in from outside the palace, Your Majesty said that he didn't want to see it, so the slave took it back first and put it on the dragon case."

As soon as the little eunuch said it, Emperor Tianqing remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

At that time, the matter of the Criminal Department had just come out, and he was upset to talk to Chen Yin about the affairs of the court, and the people below came in with a few folds, because there was a recent report from the King of Xiling in Shuozhou.

He looked upset, so he just flipped through a random copy and asked people to take it and put it first.

I didn't expect that there was also an impeachment excerpt on Zhan Changdong.

Emperor Tianqing closed the fold with a "snap" and sneered:

"Okay, yes!!"

What a Zheng Weiyong, what a third prince!

He really raised their courage to dare to use him as a pawn!!
