Chapter 131: The Banquet of the East Palace

When the news came out that Xiao Chen had solved this shocking case, the big guy didn't feel much surprised, because this kid was not the first time to surprise everyone.

This case either can't be solved, if it can be solved so quickly, I'm afraid that only he Xiao Chen can do it.

It's okay for others, the prince and his feelings and reason should be grateful to Xiao Chen.

On this day, he sent someone to invite Xiao Chen to the East Palace for a drink, probably to express a little gratitude.

Xiao Chen is the host and guest, and there are two companions, one is Wang Anbang, the secretary of the ministry, who is familiar with Xiao Chen, and the other is Liu Han, the former secretary of the household department, Xiao Chen doesn't recognize it.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the prince withdrew from everyone, and it seemed that he wanted to say something private.

"Xiao Chen, these are all my own people, there is a sentence I ask you, you kid have to answer me honestly." The prince said with a smile, "That Hao Fei, is he really a member of the Tianxuan Society?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Chen replied categorically, "This guy is not only from the Tianxuan Society, but also the hall master of Qinglong Hall, last time that Liu Yunhai died, he immediately succeeded to this position, and assassinated the prince, just to avenge Liu Yun." ”

"Hao Fei is very familiar to me, his background is very innocent, and he was my father's personal guard at the beginning, but I really didn't expect him to be a member of the Tianxuan Society." The crown prince's eagle-like eyes stared at Xiao Chen tightly, watching the subtle changes in the expression on his face.

"That's why I said that this person is scheming, it's terrible, when I found out that he was the real murderer, I was also scared into a cold sweat, and I told the emperor, but the emperor didn't believe it!" Xiao Chen's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and his answer was reasonable.

"Oh...... It seems that my father and his old man also have a time to look away. The prince said.

"The prince can rest assured, now that the Marquis of Pingyang, Commander Wu, and Gonggong Gonggong are all rectifying and investigating their respective subordinates, even if the undercover agents of the Tianxuan Society are hidden, they will definitely be able to find out." Xiao Chen is the prince, and he cares about the emperor, and it is very natural to go down.

"Hmph, there's a fart! Didn't you also rectify and investigate the last assassination of the queen? Didn't find a bird either! The prince said.

"Prince, you breathe the anger of the thunder for a while, have you forgotten that Hao Fei and they haven't entered the palace at that time, how can you check?" Wang Anbang, who was on the side, saw that he was excited, and hurriedly persuaded him, but his words were clearly adding fuel to the fire.

"Why is it that now anyone can casually enter the palace and station? Didn't anyone thoroughly investigate their details before they entered the palace? Zhu Xiaotian, Wu Zicheng, Gong Shouli, Du Teniang, is it a waste of dim sum! Sure enough, the more the prince talked, the more angry he became.

"Last time, Zhu Xiaochuan and I recommended that the guards of the East Palace go in to change the guard, but they just refused, otherwise they would have done these things! If it weren't for Xiao Chen's quick investigation, these guys wouldn't know how long they would hide, it doesn't matter if they assassinate me, if they assassinate the emperor...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

"I heard that Hao Fei and his gang were personally dispatched by the emperor, so Zhu Xiaochuan and they are not easy to investigate too carefully." Liu Han, who had been silent, said coldly.

Liu Han is in his fifties, with a dark face, a short figure, a gloomy expression, and few words.

He was originally a secretary of the household department, but because of his unfavorable affairs, he was directly dismissed from his official position by Li Wanjiang, saying that he had made another arrangement, but he had never arranged it.

Both he and Wang Anbang had close contacts with the prince, who had been nominally in charge of two important departments, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households.

Li Wanjiang has a total of three sons, all of whom are adults, and help the emperor take care of court affairs as the crown prince and prince.

Li Xian is the boss and a descendant, so after the establishment of the Great Zhou, he was immediately named the crown prince.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households in charge of him can be said to be the two most important departments, one is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials in the world, and the other is in charge of the national population tax, both of which are the lifeblood of the country, it can be seen that Li Wanjiang's initial expectations for him were still very high.

When he first started his management practice, Li Xian actually worked hard, but his own ability was limited, but he was so ambitious, eager to achieve success, and he was inevitably impetuous, and he never considered the emperor's father's ideas, and he did what he wanted.

He is the son of his Li Wanjiang, so he was born with his father's stubborn temper; has been pampered since childhood, and has not been tempered by setbacks, so he has the temper of a son-in-law; After becoming a prince, he had the temper of the prince.

Sometimes he only has one temper, sometimes he has two, sometimes he has three tempers together, and his subordinates tremble every time they see him, like walking on thin ice, because they don't know what kind of temper the prince will have today?

And the instructions he gives are often inaccurate and ambiguous, and everyone has to guess!

Can this virtue manage government affairs well? Naturally, it's a mess.

Li Wanjiang taught him bitterly more than once, but he ignored it all as a deaf ear, and always felt that the emperor's father looked down on him, when he was young and ignorant, mediocre and incompetent.

He was incompetent!

Li Wanjiang grinded out a cocoon for his heart......

He didn't listen to what he said, he didn't understand when he listened, he didn't do it when he understood, he did it but did it wrong, he didn't admit it when he was wrong, he didn't change it, he didn't accept it, and he didn't say it after he obeyed it!

It's so sad to die.

This is all a trivial matter, after all, the prince is still young, and it is understandable that he makes mistakes at work.

But what made Li Wanjiang completely disappointed in him, and even killed him, was another thing.

Li Xian's ability to do serious things is not good, but he is very good at intrigues and tricks.

It is okay to deliberately make friends with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and secretly form a princeling faction, but he even openly and secretly tries to meddle in military affairs!

not only colluded with relatives like Shi Mingwen, but also had a close relationship with Wu Zhong, the commander of the Nine Gates.

Zhu Xiaochuan and Wu Zicheng are both Li Wanjiang's confidants, and he knew that he couldn't make deep friends, so he turned to the idea of Jinyiwei and the high-ranking generals of the forbidden army, not only lowering his stature to make friends with them, but also arranging for his cronies to go in more than once......

This touches Li Wanjiang's bottom line!

You Lao Tzu and I are in the prime of spring and autumn, and you are not old and confused, you kid especially want to seek power and usurp the throne, you?

Originally, he planned to go on patrol several times, but he was forced to cancel it because he was worried about the prince's imprisonment.

Despite this, Li Wanjiang would not want to kill him.

But some time ago, his secret agent in the East Palace came to report that the prince had secret dealings with Wanyan Pingqiu of Mo Xuan, Fujishita Kichiichiro of the Dongying Amaterasu Fleet, and Prince Saiba of Siam!

The reason why the secret agent discovered this secret was because the secret messengers from Siam suddenly increased some time ago, and it was when Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun were about to arrive in Jiuxi to prepare for the crossing......

In addition, the Dongying fleet has repeatedly appeared in the East China Sea, and it is tentatively approaching the Great Zhou Sea repeatedly to provoke, and even openly attacked Liu Guifei's fleet!

The wolf's ambition is obvious.

When all this information is summed up, isn't it terrifying to think about, with a chill down the spine and hair standing on end?
