Chapter 259: Conspiracy to the end
On the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Jianning was furious.
"It's really a good skill, my emperor was unharmed on the battlefield, he was captured by Yan Hu and returned safely, but now he was assassinated in Beidi, you are really good at it!"
Emperor Jianning shouted angrily, and a book was smashed at the feet of the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince hung his head, and when he heard the noise around him, his already bad face suddenly stiffened a little.
At this time, a minister immediately stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the assassination of His Royal Highness the King of Jin is no accident, the minister thinks that when the King of Yu arrived in the west for a long time, he has been delayed again and again in the rescue of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, if it were not for General Xiao Shen's advice and hard work, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is still detained by Yan Hu, this matter, King Yu must be responsible!"
This person is an old man who has followed King Chen for many years, and he has a certain weight in speaking in the court.
But at this moment, it was not a wise move for him to take King Yu out to block the arrows for the Seventh Prince.
The Seven Princes and King Yu have each other's handles in their hands, and if they rush in like this, once King Yu is forced to do something that burns jade, it will not be good.
So the Seven Princes immediately came out of the ranks.
"Father, the son thinks that the third brother's distress still needs to be carefully investigated, so it is better to send someone to the western army to inquire, first, to supervise whether King Yu has different intentions, and second, to do special things, it should be more detailed."
Above, Emperor Jianning glanced at the Seventh Prince with deep eyes, and after a while, he moved his gaze to the side.
"King Chen, what do you mean?"
"Erchen thinks that if this matter is done by King Yu, then it may sow discord and arouse the suspicion of Erchen and other brothers to fight against the wall." King Chen gave up.
These words can be regarded as exculpating the Seventh Prince, but it is not complete, it is more like neutral.
Emperor Jianning listened, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice after a while.
"The King of Jin has already set off for Beijing, and the assassination will be handed over to Lao Qi to investigate, I hope to get the result as soon as possible."
The Seventh Prince frowned slightly, but in order to get rid of suspicion, he had to respond to this errand.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Seven Princes originally wanted to walk with King Chen.
However, as soon as he left the palace, King Chen's personal eunuch hurriedly came to spread the word, saying that Xiao Shizi was sick.
As soon as he heard this, the Seventh Prince didn't want to bother anymore, so he had to care about two sentences and leave alone.
And after King Chen hurriedly got into the carriage back to the house, the anxious state on his face immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Lord Wang, the Seventh Princess, it seems that she is pregnant, you see." The eunuch whispered.
King Chen narrowed his eyes, "If you have nature, you have to keep it, this is a child of the old seven heads, King Yu values his only son, does he want to break off." ”
"The minion understood." The eunuch nodded, and said no more.
Where is it so coincidental, today Xiao Shizi is sick.
It's just that King Chen learned about the content of the excerpt first, and he expected that the seven princes of the next dynasty would come to him early on, so he deliberately arranged to avoid it.
As for why the Seventh Prince didn't know the news first, it was because King Chen didn't want him to know.
In the final analysis, the people under King Chen are still under King Chen's orders, and they can serve the Seven Princes, but it is also King Chen's orders.
Now that Emperor Jianning wants to get rid of King Yu, and King Jin is no longer a big threat, the chess piece of the Seven Princes can also exit.
Just by the hand of Emperor Jianning, killing two birds with one stone.
King Chen turned his head slightly, looking at the rays of sunlight that came through the gap in the carriage curtain, and the grand cause hidden in his heart seemed to be slowly illuminated.
"Hui'er, this king can't stand you, but this king has today, and it is indeed you who reminded you, marry an ordinary family in the next life, rest assured, this king will definitely give the best things in the world to our son."
Whispering his wife's name, King Chen's eyes swelled with dark light.
And the Seventh Prince, who was abandoned by him at that time, was very irritable in his heart.
Emperor Jianning asked him to investigate the case, but in addition to pushing King Yu out of the crime, he really can't think of any more suitable way now.
But King Yu is not a casual minister, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be willing to take the blame.
After all, when the two were able to cooperate, it was the promise of the Seven Princes that they would definitely keep King Yu and his heirs safe and prosperous, but now that they have broken their promises, it is naturally easy to turn their faces.
There is no way to start investigating this case and how to investigate it.
However, in the evening, King Chen's Mansion secretly sent someone to spread the word.
"Your Royal Highness Seven, our prince said that King Yu is not clean this time, the emperor did it this morning, he is already suspicious of Your Highness, if you can't turn the tiger who conspires with it into a scapegoat, it is better to conspire to the end, now Beidi's troops are concentrated in the west, and the country is empty."
After the man said this, the Seventh Prince suddenly felt his heart beating like a drum in his chest.
Naturally, he understood what he meant.
It's hard to make up your mind about such a big rebellion.
"How sure are you sure of doing this? If it doesn't work, it's a catastrophe. ”
"The prince has lived in the East Palace for many years, and the people under his command are at least half of the court, and the king of Yu is good at leading the troops and holding the military power, so he can have seven or eight points of certainty."
The messenger bowed his hand.
The Seventh Prince still hesitated, and was about to speak, when the man opened his mouth again.
"Your Royal Highness should also think about it, although the King of Jin did not lose his life, but he also disfigured his face, how can a monarch have a scar on his face? The four princes have long been rejected by the emperor, there is no possibility of succession, in order to protect the successors of Beidi Jiangshan, even if His Royal Highness makes a mistake, the emperor will definitely keep His Royal Highness, if he does not make a move at this moment, the emperor is still in his prime, if there is another imperial heir, then Your Royal Highness you are not the only one. ”
After saying this, seeing that the face of the Seventh Prince seemed to be loose, he stopped there.
"The prince has said this, whether to do it or not, or it is up to His Highness to decide, and the slave will retire."
After the people left, the Seven Princes stared at the tea in front of them, which was about to be cold, with complicated eyes.
And it didn't take long for a maid to come to report the good news, saying that the princess had just been found out by the palace doctor and was two months pregnant.
Although the Seventh Prince and Xu Sini did not have any feelings, the Seventh Prince was still happy that Xu Sini was pregnant with his child.
I immediately went to the main courtyard.
On winter nights, the moonlight looks exceptionally cold.
The Seventh Prince looked at the warm yellow light of the main courtyard getting closer and closer, thinking that he was about to become a father, and somewhere in his heart was suddenly poked.
If you are a mother, you are strong, and so is a father.
If the Seven Princes were still shaken in their hearts, they had already slowly made up their minds at this time.
The mind was pulled in the annoyance and anxiety of Fang Cai and the sudden good news, and he ignored it for a while, how could this good news come so coincidentally.
Fifteen days later, a few days before the Chinese New Year, in the military camp in the west, a secret letter was delivered to King Yu.
At that time, there had already been a few heavy snowfalls in the western border.
The weather is cold, Yanhu's grain and grass are not good, and now it is already a retreat, and it will not take a few days, maybe before the year, to take back the Linzhou that was lost decades ago.
At that time, if Yanhu still refuses to ask for peace and withdraw his troops, Beidi's territory will probably be expanded.
This thing can be regarded as exciting, but after King Yu read the secret letter of the Seven Princes, the light in his eyes seemed to be brighter.
