Zhao Yuanxi rushed to the scene as soon as possible after the eldest brother's accident.

To be honest, until his father left, he was still scared for a while.

Last night, he took advantage of the drunken mood to arrange for the dead to infiltrate the eldest brother's mansion and order them to pretend to be ghosts and intimidate the eldest brother, so as to make his madness worse.

In this way, the eldest brother will be more and more unfavorable. Thus losing more hearts and minds.

In this way, it will be more likely that he will be deposed as the crown prince by his father and ascend to the throne.

But he never imagined that the development of the situation would be so serious and out of control!

According to the dead soldiers who fled back to the mansion in horror last night, the prince's mansion was really haunted last night.

A group of ghost-faced people in black shrouds appeared around the prince from time to time, constantly attacking and killing the people of the prince's mansion.

During this time, the Ghost-faced had several brushes with the dead, but they ignored them and did not launch any attacks on them.

The Ghost-Faced Person's body is unpredictable, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect its traces.

After massacring dozens of middle-class people in the palace, the prince was captured by his family, and the ghost-faced man retired and disappeared.

After they were gone, the dead escaped from their hiding places and fled taking advantage of the fire in the Prince's Mansion.

After hearing this news, Zhao Yuanxi suddenly felt creepy, but secretly said that something was wrong.

Are there any ghosts in the world? It's obvious that someone deliberately made it up!

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Zhao Yuanxi vaguely felt that there was an extraordinarily powerful behind-the-scenes hand manipulating the situation.

In order to confirm his prediction, he sent his henchmen to quickly investigate and search in detail along the path of the dead man's return.

Sure enough, in the corridor between the mansion and the prince's mansion, it was found that there were sundries such as waist cards and fragments of night clothes under the mansion.

"It's so dangerous, there is a conspiracy. secretly murdered people and set fires to fuel the flames, so as to make the affairs of the prince's mansion known to the world. Later, he blamed me for this crime.

What a two-bird poison plan! ”

Secretly glad that at the same time, Zhao Yuanxi suddenly felt afraid.

"After tonight, the eldest brother's madness will be brought to the fore, so that my father will have to take back the crown prince. can also take the responsibility for the murder of the eldest brother silently on his own head.

As a result, he also lost the trust of his father. Loss of the succession of the crown prince is possible.

Take 10,000 steps back and say: If no one is burdened with the black cauldron of murdering the eldest brother this time, with the character of the father, he will definitely immediately find the 'culprit' to bear this responsibility.

Because with what he knew about his father. The father must have guessed that this incident must have been done by someone close to him within the royal family.

The father, who has always attached great importance to the blood and affection of his relatives, will bury the matter deep in his heart when there is no conclusive evidence to prove who did it, but on the surface, he will choose the strategy of calming things down and using 'scapegoats' to settle the matter.

And those "evidences" in Yonglu are enough to fall into the abyss and hell.

Even if his father doesn't pursue him, he will definitely be suspicious, and because of him, the real murderer behind the murder of the eldest brother will go unpunished.

The temperament of my father was probably sixteen years ago, when my second uncle died suddenly and my father ascended the throne!

"It's dangerous! What a plan! It seems that the person behind the scenes also knows his father very well, and even knows it quite well, but who did it? ”

Zhao Yuanxi also suspected the third brother, but he was soon denied by himself, and he felt guilty and ashamed that he had such an absurd idea.

"How can you doubt the third brother, the third brother, who has no power to restrain the chicken, has always been loyal to himself!

Zhao Yuanxi turned over and over again, but he couldn't determine who was behind the scenes. I simply stopped thinking about it. began to seriously figure out how the people behind the scenes would frame themselves.

Fortunately, he immediately gained insight into the conspiracy of the people behind the scenes, so that he had enough time to deal with it.

First, the dead soldiers were given enough compensation to leave the imperial capital overnight and never return them again.

Then he waved his pen overnight, wrote a few secret letters, and prepared enough generous gifts, and ordered his henchmen to immediately send them to the mansion of important ministers who had close contacts on weekdays.

After that, he pretended to be distressed and desperate, and arrived at the scene of the fire as soon as possible...

The subsequent development finally met his prediction:

The father was furious, but quickly calmed down. first killed all the subordinates in the eldest brother's mansion, used them as scapegoats, blocked the mouths of the people, and prevented the case from being investigated.

Soon after, he also succeeded his eldest brother as he wished, the post of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and was in charge of national affairs such as officials, laws, criminals, and politics!

From this moment on, he is finally a crucial step towards his ultimate goal!

In the early dynasties, Zhao Yuanxu reported to his father the emperor about the things, difficulties, handling methods and solutions he had encountered since he took charge of Kaifeng Mansion.

Hearing that the father is a dragon's face is happy, he can't help but kowtow in approval.

In the court, the princes and ministers discussed with each other and praised Zhao Yuanxi, praising him for his steady work, diligence, benevolence and righteousness! At the same time, he does not lose his wise and resolute demeanor, and he has the style of Taizong when he was young.

Zhao Guangyi was very relieved to hear it, and it was very useful!

After reporting his own work, Zhao Yuanxi continued:

"Father, son-in-law still has this music, do you know whether to talk about it or not?"

"Hey~ Wu'er, don't worry about it, if you have something to say!"

In the court, Zhao Guangyi was full of interest.

"Father Xie~!"

Zhao Yuanxi respectfully saluted his father and the emperor again.

"Father, the eldest brother's mansion is still being rebuilt, and the children go to supervise the construction every day, almost day and night to catch up with the construction period.

But Rao is like this, the mansion is fully completed, and it will take more than a month, and the child is very concerned about the eldest brother, so... So.... ”

Zhao Yuanxi paused, his eyes flickered a few times, as if he was hesitating about something, but he finally strengthened his determination, and continued with a firm gaze:

"The child begs his father for his permission, and allows the child to take his brother to the child's house, so that he can serve him, and I would like to show my brotherly affection, and I also ask my father for permission!"

After that, Zhao Yuanxi brushed the long placket of the court robe, bowed his head to the ground and waited for his father's decision.

"Good, good...!"

"The second prince is benevolent and righteous, it is really the emperor's luck, and my great Song is also lucky!"

"A few days ago, the ministers entered the palace to meet Poria Niangniang, and occasionally saw the second prince carefully feeding His Royal Highness the Prince, careful and warm, his brotherhood is deep and meaningful, so that the insiders were moved to tears on the spot..."

The minister heard that the second prince had dispersed his family assets and compensated all the loyal slaves of the prince's mansion, which made their families grateful to our emperor! ”

"Is there such a thing? The benevolence and righteousness of the second prince are really the blessings of the people of my Great Song Dynasty and the blessings of the country...! ”

Zhao Yuanxi's voice fell.

Zhao Guangyi just said a few good words.

Cheng Yu, Jia Yan and several other important ministers immediately came out of the shift, praising Zhao Yuanxi with a posthumous speech;

At this time, Zhao Yuanxi secretly raised his head and quietly exchanged glances with those important ministers.

Zhao Yuankan on the side saw all this quietly in his eyes, and his face was not shocked. Stand in the ranks of the pilgrims, not moving!

Zhao Guangyi seemed to look at the third prince intentionally or unintentionally, but when he saw that he was so calm and stable, he couldn't help frowning, and then stopped looking at him.

Turning to look at Zhao Yuanxi, he smiled;

"Good! Good! It's rare for my son to have such open-mindedness, and I'm very pleased to be a father. I'm right! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi hurriedly said happily: "Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie!" ”

"Hahaha, Wu'er, you don't need to be so formal, get up quickly, no courtesy!

Come on, I look at the seat in front of the left, and give the golden chair in front of the palace of my son! ”

"This...";

As soon as Zhao Guangyi's words fell, there was a stone on the court that stirred up a thousand waves.

The princes and ministers are boiling again, isn't it obvious that they want to establish a prince and declare the monarch?

At this moment, even Zhao Yuankan, who has always been quite deep in the city and unhappy, the muscles at the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched continuously, and in his bottomless eyes, an inexplicable red undercurrent finally appeared...

"Report~!

Qi Qi Emperor, the left servant who is recuperating at home with a sickness shoots Lord Zhao, who has just sent someone to send an emergency encryption recital, please make a decision immediately after reading it...! ”

The herald in front of the palace suddenly broke into the court at this time and knelt down in the middle of the Jinluan Palace. Raised above his head was a beeswax-sealed letterhead with three cocktail feathers inserted into it.

"This is the highest level of urgent letter, even related to the rise or fall of the country!"

The internal affairs officer in the palace did not dare to slack off, hurriedly approached, took the letterhead with both hands, and quickly handed it to the emperor's attendants, who opened the secret letter and handed it over to the emperor for review!

At this moment, the entire Jinluan Hall is a floor listening needle, a silence and silence!

Everyone's eyes were focused on Taizong Zhao Guangyi;

When Taizong carefully read this letter, his originally shocked and frowning brows suddenly stretched out again, and turned to look at Zhao Yuanxi as if no one was around:

"Xu'er, my father wants to crown you as the crown prince of the dynasty, and at the same time give you the right to act, give Shang Fang the sword, and go out to inspect on behalf of your father, are you willing?"

"Ahh

Zhao Yuanxi didn't react for a while, and stood on the spot.

It was only when everyone in the court congratulated him that he was shocked. Hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked his father in flattery:

"Thank you father Huang Longen, thank your father Huang Longen, of course the sons are willing, the sons will not disgrace their mission and do their best to complete the inspection task!"

After the early dynasty, Zhao Guangyi recruited Zhao Yuanxi into the imperial study alone....

And on this night, a strange bird the size of a golden eagle quietly flew out of Bianjing City....

The old Zhao Pu was in a secret room, drinking wine and pouring himself.

Facing more than a dozen spirit tablets, he slowly toasted and muttered to himself.

"I miss you, old boys! Hehe, I think it won't be long before Shi Shouxin, an old fellow, and I will come to accompany you together.... ”

"Ahem..., ahem...!"

"Huh! People are old and useless...! ”

A violent cough interrupted his thoughts.

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, and after drinking a glass of wine, he continued to talk to himself:

"When the time comes, our brothers will gather together, and on the side of the underworld, we will also work together, do another vigorous and vigorous thing, and also break out of the world...!"

Zhao Pu picked up a glass of wine again and drank it all.

At this moment, he burst into tears and said emotionally:

"The world only knows the ten brothers of the Righteous Society! But few people know: our brother is Youyan Sixteen Righteousness!

Back then, we were young and like-minded. In order to recover Youzhou, Yanzhou, expel the Xiongnu and Khitan and other barbarian Tartars, rescue thousands of people from the war, so that our Han people are no longer bullied and enslaved by foreign people, and know each other, marry Jinlan, and become good brothers.

At that time, our brothers often traveled together to attack and kill the Xiongnu, Khitan and other barbarians.

At that time, our brothers were happy and happy, and they were so full of spirit! How heroic and free...! ”

Zhao Pu's gaze gradually condensed on those tokens:

Gao Huaide, Wang Xianqi, Han Chongyun, Liu Tingrang, Wang Zhengzhong, Liu Shouzhong, Liu Xigu, Song Yi, Zhao Kuangyin, Zheng En, Zhang Qiong, Yang Guangyi, Liu Qingyi..., one by one, familiar names slipped in his eyes.

In mourning for the past, he trembled and hummed their war song:

"Don't bully the cowardly youth, be my generation with blood; The horizontal knife is desolate, why not be afraid of the yellow sand!

Qi bottle of wine, there will be no return, horse leather shroud stepping on Youlan! Laugh at the brothers together, don't break Helian and never return, never return... ”

In the palace, beside Zhao Guangyi, Gao Qiong, the chief of the chamberlain, stood and read the Gwangju emergency secret report, and couldn't help but be moved:

"What! Jangwazi Town, Gwangsan County, Gwangju also suddenly destroyed the town tragedy! And there is still one survivor in the tragedy?

The real purpose of the prince's visit is to quietly escort the survivor back to the imperial capital without knowing it?

Wouldn't it be dangerous for the prince to make this trip? Your Majesty, do you need an old slave for this trip...? ”

Gao Qiong's words were not finished, and Zhao Guangyi said indifferently:

"Old man, you are about to enter the ranks of the old people, and the hardships of this boat and saddle horse are not something you can bear!

This trip, you don't have to.

He is young, has never experienced the cruel wind and rain, and has not had a proud performance; This time, it should be given him a chance to temper. It can also be regarded as the cornerstone of the succession to the crown prince as a matter of course...! ”

After a pause, Zhao Guangyi said again:

"But you're right, this time, it's a potentially dangerous anomaly! I think those vicious thieves, if they knew that there were survivors of the murder, they would definitely not give up!

Old man, this time I asked Xi'er to take a roundabout route, detouring to Luoyang City, going to Nanyang County, and turning back to Gwangju.

This is to really let the children experience and really go to inspect these important towns on my behalf!

Second, the plan of doubtful soldiers. I hope that this can cover up the real purpose of this patrol!

This time, in addition to sending more Ouchi masters and the Royal Forest Army to escort them, in order to ensure that the children are foolproof, they must also notify the Blue Dragon Society, appoint masters, and secretly protect each other all the way! ”

"Yes, the emperor is wise, the old slave will do it!"

Gao Qiong agreed, a faint red glint flashed in her eyes, and then left the imperial study...
