Zhang Yan replied: "Wang Dehua wanted to collude with Zhang Fengyi to take the crown prince away, but Zhang Fengyi just pretended to agree to him, promised to help him take the crown prince, and captured him alive when he came to take the crown prince. ”

Wang Dehua said: "Okay, I admit it, but I'm sorry for the master, and let him send me to the big house." ”

Tianqi ignored Wang Dehua, but stood up, glanced at Zhang Fengyi, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhang Fengyi took out a deed: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the deed of 200,000 taels of silver that Wang Dehua promised to the minister, which stated that the minister promised to hand over the crown prince to him secretly, and he gave the minister 200,000 taels of silver, and now the 200,000 taels of silver have been shipped to Sichuan, but the minister deceived him, and when the minister came to receive the crown prince as promised, the minister still detained him." All this, the queen mother and the uncle can testify for the ministers. ”

Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui: "It turns out that you already knew that someone was going to threaten me with the crown prince?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

Zhang Gui first arched his hand and said: "The minister is also doing this in order to plan the plan, if you don't do this, you won't be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes!" ”

Zhang Yan also said: "At the beginning, it was just that Wang Dehua secretly wooed Fengyi, and revealed the intention of getting rid of my brother by means of the crown prince, and said that he would pay huge bribes, and even his husband Ma Xianglin was made an uncle. But Feng Yi was loyal, and she was unmoved! But out of prudence, she did not refuse directly, but first quietly told the concubine, who did not dare to inform His Majesty of the matter, but only informed my brother first, and also told him, not to tell you yet. ”

Tianqi was surprised when he heard this: "Why don't you dare to tell me first?" ”

Zhang Gui replied for Zhang Yan: "Because as far as Zhang Fengyi knows, the person behind the scenes who wants to take away the crown prince is a very important person to Your Majesty, and at that time, Niangniang was worried and rashly told Your Majesty, which would make Your Majesty mistakenly think that Niangniang and her ministers were deliberately setting a trap to frame this person!" ”

"And only after letting Zhang Fengyi plan first, and making His Majesty believe that someone is really trying to make a fuss about the crown prince, can the minister and Niangniang dare to tell His Majesty, and let His Majesty know who is the mastermind behind this scene, so as to clear the suspicion of the minister and Niangniang, and not let people feel that the minister and Niangniang are setting a trap to frame this person. After all, this person is very important to His Majesty! ”

"Neither the minister nor the mother dare to say rashly that he is the mastermind behind the scenes!"

However, what they didn't expect was that General Zhang, who was responsible for accompanying the crown prince, was not bought by them, Wang Dehua did not kidnap the crown prince as promised, and the guards responsible for liaising with Wang Dehua had also been rebelled by the ministers, so these people really only thought that the crown prince had been taken away by Wang Dehua. It's just that the minister didn't expect that they would first surprise His Majesty by pretending to send someone to assassinate him, so as to convey the news to His Majesty that the prince had been kidnapped by them. ”

Tianqi understood what Zhang Gui and Zhang Yan meant, and asked, "Then who is this person?" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Gui was about to open his mouth to report at this time, when suddenly, Tianqi waved his hand and said, "Don't say it first!" ”

Then, Tianqi instructed Zhang Gui: "You take the crown prince to the Qinzheng Palace first, Zhang Fengyi, you come with this dog thing, and in addition, Wei Zhongxian, go to the ministers to proclaim the ministers, and the Daoqinzheng Palace will come up to listen to the announcement." ”

"Yes!"

……

It didn't take long for the courtiers who were still outside the West Garden to hear the edict to let them go to the Qinzheng Hall to listen to the announcement.

So, the courtiers came to the palace of diligent government.

"Could it be that Your Majesty didn't see the crown prince, this is to announce that Uncle Zhang Guo will be killed according to the requirements of the traitor?"

"Maybe, this Uncle Zhang might never have imagined that he would be killed in this way, right?"

"Although this method is indeed despicable, but in any case, his Uncle Zhang Guo is dead, and the new policy will undoubtedly not be implemented because of this."

Many courtiers began to talk on the way to the Qinzheng Palace.

Many of them are expecting Zhang Gui to be killed because of this.

Han Yi, Yuan Keli, and Chen Zizhuang, the ministers who supported the reform of the law, kept a calm face and did not say a word.

Feng Quan also had a calm face.

Guang Shiheng also had a calm face, but the corners of his mouth began to show a smile that could not be concealed.

However, the most obvious smile written on his face belongs to Qian Longxi.

He knew how meaningful it would be if Zhang Gui was killed.

He had to admit that Daming was at this point now, and suddenly wanted to clear the acres of land, to spread the land into the acres, and to ask the officials and gentry to pay grain for an errand, all because Zhang Gui had harmed Daming to this point.

As long as Zhang Gui is killed, the emperor will lose his right-hand man, and the implementation of the new policy will not be very smooth.

Sun Chengzong's face has always been calm, without any expression.

When the courtiers arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, Tianqi looked at the courtiers and asked, "Do you really want to see my crown prince kidnapped by gangsters?" ”

Sun Chengzong stood up first at this time and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't want such a thing to happen. ”

Apocalypse smiled slightly.

At this time, Qian Qianyi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister still believes that the country is more important than the country's uncle, and now at this time, the top priority is to protect the country!" ”

Saying that, Qian Qianyi bowed to the ground first: "Please Your Majesty issue an order to punish Uncle Zhang Gui to save the country!" ”

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be rash, the country can't afford to make a mistake!"

Zhu Guozuo also followed along, and bowed to the ground: "Please Your Majesty issue an order to punish Uncle Zhang Gui to save the country!" ”

"Please give an order to Uncle Guo!"

Many of the ministers bowed down to the earth.

Only Shang Zhouzuo was even more worried, and secretly cried: "It's over, my daughter is going to be widowed!" ”

Apocalypse said very suddenly at this time: "Come out." ”

It didn't take long for the courtiers to discover that the uncle Zhang Gui was leading the crown prince out, and the female general in the imperial flying fish suit was escorting a eunuch out.

The courtiers' eyes widened at this.

Fan Jingwen and Jiang Dejing, the subordinate officials of the East Palace, who had been ordered to study for the crown prince, recognized the crown prince first, and they were all overjoyed and said: "His Royal Highness the crown prince is not missing!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not kidnapped by gangsters! ”

The two of them just barely jumped up in the main hall at the moment.

After a while, the two of them realized that this was in front of the emperor, and hurriedly restrained their excitement: "The minister is out of order, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Exoneration!"

Apocalypse said with a smile.

Apocalypse then asked the other courtiers, "Are some of you disappointed?" ”

The courtiers were silent.

Apocalypse continued: "Some of you must think that the crown prince has been captured and hidden, but you have calculated everything, but you have not calculated that this world is not full of unfaithful and unrighteous people like you! ”

Apocalypse said, "Now you can say who is behind the scenes." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Fengyi agreed, and pulled out the cloth ball in Wang Dehua's mouth: "Tell the truth!" Now there's no point in covering it up for him! ”

Wang Dehua nodded and said: "Emperor, it was Sun Ge Lao who asked the slave maid to do this, and he asked the slave maid to find a way to contact Mama Zhang next to the emperor's eldest son, saying that if Mama Zhang is willing to plot together to get rid of Uncle Zhang, she will do it according to his plan." ”

Mama Zhang is the Zhang Fengyi she refers to.

After hearing this, Tianqi still stood up in shock, looked at Sun Chengzong, and had tears in his eyes: "Sir, I didn't expect it to be you!" Why are you doing that?! ”

Peng!

Sun Chengzong collapsed directly to the ground.

At this time, Zhang Gui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Ge is always wronged!" ”

Tianqi looked back at Zhang Gui in surprise.

Zhang Gui replied: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached the Shaoqing Guang Shiheng of Dali Temple for plotting to poison smallpox and trying to harm the people of Suizhou, and colluded with the eunuchs to try to kidnap the crown prince as a hostage and wanted to murder the minister, and intended to blame the important ministers of the court such as Liu Zongzhou and Sun Chengzong!" ”

"Didn't you say that because the mastermind behind the scenes is someone close to me, you don't dare to report rashly?"

Apocalypse asked.

Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, that's just that the minister suspects that it is Sun Ge Lao, because this eunuch Wang Dehua confessed to Sun Ge Lao, but the minister has already received conclusive evidence to prove that the real mastermind behind the scenes is Guang Shiheng!" It's just that I haven't had time to tell Your Majesty about you, Your Majesty just interrupted the minister, have you forgotten, Your Majesty? ”
