Chapter 63: Bad Moves
"Regarding your assassination in the imperial mausoleum on the Qingming Festival, as well as the assassination in the royal hunting ground, the six princes have found out, both of which are related to the king of Chu who is about to enter Beijing, as for the secret letter printed with the official seal of the Ministry of Rites, it is forged."
"......" After Pei Xuanling heard this, he stopped reading the official document and twisted his eyebrows in contemplation.
The king of Chu and the king of Shu are both kings with different surnames, and in addition to paying tribute every year, they are not allowed to enter Beijing without the permission of their father and the imperial court.
But they hold military power and manage a fiefdom, and their ambitions inevitably grow.
Over the years, the kings of Chu and Shu have made small moves from time to time, but they don't want to be peaceful in Beijing.
Now the king of Chu sent someone to assassinate him, just to kill him.
Once he died, the princes competed for the crown prince, and the ministers of Wang Gong were unstable, and the court was in turmoil, and they, as vassal kings, would have the opportunity to return to Beijing to fight for power!
Huang Dechang: "In addition, although the palace maid who drugged you and the six princesses on the cruise ship was killed, according to various indications... It was done by the people who had ordered the king. ”
"King Huai bribed Du Tianqing, the food department of the Ministry of Rites, and asked him to arrange for the palace maids to drug the meals of you and the six princesses, and then kill those drugged palace maids, and the official seal of the Ministry of Rites on that secret letter was also done by Du Tianqing!"
Du Tianqing, as a member of the Ministry of Rites, had the opportunity to come into contact with the seal of the Ministry of Rites.
Tut-tut, what kind of people really do what kind of pickled things.
King Huai is romantic, there are countless wives and concubines in the backyard of the house, and there are countless outer rooms outside the house.
It is such a person who can come up with a bad trick to drug his brother and brother's daughter-in-law.
Pei Xuanling: "......"
It is not the first time that King Mu and his party have provoked the relationship between him and the sixth brother, in order to win over the sixth brother for their use.
With thin lips lightly, Pei Xuanling instructed Huang Dechang, "You send someone to the Sixth Prince's Mansion and tell him the news we have found." ”
"Yes." After Huang Dechang responded, he asked softly: "What about Du Tianqing?" Shall we deal with him privately? ”
As he spoke, he placed his palms flat on his neck and made a throat-slitting motion.
drugged the prince and princess, such a scandal should not be big, but it can't be cheap Du Tianqing, so he can only deal with it privately.
Pei Xuanling: "It's still useful for this person to keep, you hand him over to the sixth prince, and the sixth prince will handle it." ”
Regarding this matter, the sixth brother had already told him, saying that he must personally punish the person who drugged the sixth princess.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart!
Then, of course, he has to fulfill the sixth brother.
Huang Dechang: "......"
With his understanding of the six princes, don't look at the six princes' politeness.
But if the literati are forced to be anxious, it will be enough for the king.
After listening to Huang Dechang's report, Pei Xuanling fell his eyes on the red lacquer gold box in Huang Dechang's hand, "What is this?" ”
"The minion almost forgot about it just by thinking about it." Huang Dechang replied with a smile, "Didn't you ask the minions to order a set of rouge gouache from the Seventh Prince last time?" No, the Seventh Prince sent someone to send it. ”
Pei Xuanling: "Does he have anything to ask Gu to help with?" ”
"The Seventh Prince said, after a while, I may ask you to help find someone, and I didn't say much else."
Although the Seventh Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are not in the same boat, they are brothers after all.
Usually there is a little thing between the princes, and it is all a matter of one sentence.
After all, people on the surface have to get by.
Pei Xuanling: "Cheng, Gu knows, you take the rouge first, and when you return to the East Palace later, you will remind Gu to give it away." ”
"Yes." After Huang Dechang responded, he was thinking in his heart that things like rouge gouache were given to beautiful women.
I just don't know, which beauty does Your Highness plan to give to the East Palace?
Pei Xuanling was busy in the Ministry of Rites until the time of the unitary before taking the carriage back to the palace, and then taking the chariot back to the East Palace.
When he walked into the East Palace, Huang Dechang reminded softly, "Your Highness, that set of rouge gouache ......"
