The three of Changfeng did not dare to slack off, and greeted them respectfully outside the door. The other party looked magnificent, and there was a righteous attitude between his eyebrows and eyes, and he responded politely after seeing them: "The three of them are too polite, I wonder if this time the prince came back and invited Xueyi to come here?"

He was very happy when he received the letter, and thought that He Yujin was back, so he hurriedly finished the matter in hand and came here, expecting to see He Yujin and thank him in person for his kindness.

"My lord, this is a long story. Please follow the little one in first, and then the subordinates will elaborate." Fei Gu looked around vigilantly, Gou Xueyi suddenly understood, knowing that they were afraid that someone would eavesdrop on something here, so he followed the three of them to the courtyard.

And the people he brought with him were guarding outside.

When he came to the front hall, he didn't see He Yujin's figure, and Gou Xueyi couldn't help asking, "May I ask where the prince is?"

At this time, Changfeng and Gu Yuan knew that Fei Gu had made an appointment with Gou Xueyi in the name of He Yujin, and they couldn't help but tremble, Gu Yuan asked Fei Gu in a low voice, "Do you know that this is a crime of imposting? Do you have a brain, why do you ask an adult in the name of the prince?"

"Am I not afraid that he will not come? Besides, after drinking some wine, I was used to drafting and writing for the prince before, and I wrote it in the tone of the prince as soon as I got it. Now think about how to explain it to adults." Fei Gu also regretted it very much, but now is not the time to complain, the top priority is to explain the ins and outs of this matter and ask Gou Xueyi for help.

In the end, the two of them unanimously decided to push Changfeng out.

In desperation, Changfeng had no choice but to explain: "My lord, the little ones have no rules, and they write to you privately as a prince, please cure our crimes." Look at the book

Obviously, Gou Xueyi was even more surprised when he heard the truth, but he didn't blame Changfeng for deceiving him, but was very worried about where he and Yujin were now and how safe they were.

"Don't worry, my lord, the prince is very safe now, and life is much more comfortable than here, you don't have to worry."

Hearing Changfeng's words, Gou Xueyi was skeptical, and then said, "That's true, no matter where you go after leaving the imperial capital, you are much happier than here, since the prince is fine." The Fei Gu brothers, the Gu Yuan brothers, and this unknown brother, asked me to come this time, is there something wrong? But it doesn't hurt to say that."

When Gou Xueyi was still a protégé of the Jin Palace, he had a good relationship with Fei Gu and Gu Yuan, and even called him a brother, so even if the two of them were more than him, he would help.

Changfeng introduced himself a little awkwardly: "My lord, the small one is the regent's subordinates, and the small one is called Changfeng."

"It turned out to be the Prince Regent's subordinate, and I have admired the name of the Lord Regent for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't seen it."

After receiving strong affirmation from Fei Gu and Gu Yuan before, Changfeng believed in Gou Xueyi, and said what he was going to do this time.

"This matter is simple, please rest assured that the prince and the regent will definitely give the letter to His Majesty in good condition." Knowing that the three of them were going to do something, they were also instructed by Ji Changye and He Yujin, and Gou Xueyi agreed without saying a word.

After carefully packing the letter, Gou Xueyi said, "Please say hello to the two princes for the little one when Brother Changfeng goes back, there are many affairs in the imperial capital, and the little one will not be able to get out of his body for a while and a half, and he can't go to see him in person. If there is anything to be done in the future, the small ones will definitely not hesitate."

Seeing that Gou Xueyi easily agreed to this matter, Changfeng and the three of them were very happy, and then respectfully sent Gou Xueyi away.

At this time, a stone in Changfeng's heart fell to the ground.

The next day, after the early dynasty, Gou Xueyi sent the letter to the emperor, and it happened that the crown prince Ji Qirui was also here, and the emperor did not shy away from opening the letter, and after reading the content above, he sighed.

Ji Qirui hurriedly asked, "Father, whose letter is it? Is something wrong?" If he can use this to share the emperor's worries, he will definitely make the emperor praise him.

The emperor didn't notice Ji Qirui's careful thoughts, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's a letter from the regent, he said that the prefect of his town colluded with Hebin, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and the mine he managed had an accident, and he also plotted to harm people many times.

Even more so against him. So now that I'm in prison, I'm going to ask me what to do next. Now that you know, do you have an idea?"

On weekdays, the crown prince would not ask about this matter, but the emperor thought that the prince would inherit the great business in the future, so he wanted to listen to his idea.

"Erchen thinks that this matter can be said to be big or small, and small is to be small. If it is spread by the world, I am afraid that it will jeopardize your reputation, how can the regent not know about this? Therefore, if you dare to go to such great lengths to show off in the court, it must be done on purpose, wanting to ruin your reputation and make everyone think that you have not governed properly. Therefore, father, you must beware of such people, lest they be calculated."

Ji Qirui has long been unaccustomed to Ji Changye, because he is the regent prince, and he was valued by the emperor when he was in the imperial capital, and generally the major affairs of the court and China are basically handed over to him to help decide, Ji Qirui has no use at all, and he was ordered to study with Ji Changye. The two are of the same age, and the young and vigorous Ji Qirui is naturally unwilling to listen to Ji Changye's words, so now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to speak ill of him in front of the emperor, so that there will be a rift between the two of them, which will help his power increase greatly.

Hearing Ji Qirui's words, the emperor's face suddenly became gloomy, and he slapped his desk angrily and reproached, "Who taught you this! The regent is honest and upright, how can he calculate on my head? Besides, didn't he know what would happen when the news got out? Otherwise, why would he write to me? You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, what do you hear and see on weekdays? If you're like this, how can I trust you to hand over the country to you in the future?"

According to Ji Qirui, he will definitely be confused by the female cadres and suspicious everywhere and become a faint king. Although the emperor was angry, he still didn't say these words, after all, Ji Qirui is still a prince, so he still has to save some face.

He knows very well that this son of his has been at odds with Ji Changye since he was a child, and he is always jealous of him and wants to compare with him, although he fails every time. So now that he has become the crown prince, he is jealous of Ji Changye's talent, and it is also within the emperor's expectation that he wants to pull him into the water.

This is exactly what he is worried about, if Ji Qirui has been limited to the current competition for merit, and if he does not want to forge ahead, he will definitely suffer in the future, how can he govern a country well?

Ji Qirui didn't expect that the emperor would blame himself for defending Ji Changye, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only put his hatred on Ji Changye's body, and reluctantly knelt down and said: "Father is angry, and the son knows that he is wrong, these words were said by the son who was anxious about his father's reputation, not from the bottom of his heart."

Fortunately, he admitted his mistake in time to calm the emperor's anger.

After he calmed down for a while, he raised his hand and motioned for Ji Qirui to get up, "You get up, in the future, your temper must be restrained and restrained, don't be impatient, otherwise it will be easy to make mistakes, especially as the lord of the world, if you don't have any measurements, how can you help the world?" I won't care about you today, but if I know what you look like in the future, I won't punish you without regard for it, remember?"

"Yes, father, the son remembers." Although Ji Qirui said so, he couldn't listen to the emperor's advice at all, and he was bent on pulling Ji Changye into the water to give him a crime, because at this moment he was blinded by jealousy.

The emperor picked up the letter and studied it for a while, and finally leaned over to write a reply, and called Gou Xueyi and the eunuch who were waiting outside the door.

"This is my reply to the Regent, and you bring it to the Regent."

After receiving the letter, Gou Xueyi respectfully agreed to step back.

Later, the emperor instructed the eunuchs: "Go and issue an edict to dismiss Hebin and Wu Heyi from their official positions, and send them to the local government office, and they will be sent according to the law, and they do not need to be sent to the imperial capital." The regent did a good job, bought him a house in the local area, and sent some fine medicinal materials. The regent's affairs do not need to be announced, just do it in private, and don't let the news out."

He knew that Ji Changye had left here without telling everyone at the beginning, and he hadn't heard from him for many years, just because he didn't want some people in the imperial capital to know his whereabouts, so he came to the door to look for trouble. So in order to protect Ji Changye's safety, he didn't issue an order to publicly reward him.

Seeing that the emperor was so thoughtful for Ji Changye, Ji Qirui's jealous teeth were about to be crushed, and suddenly he had an idea in his heart, so he retired as a eunuch

After going down, he asked, "Father, the sons think that the regent is too tired to deal with these things alone, and he is too busy to be busy. Therefore, the retainers asked to go to the town of Sulou to assist the regent, to share the burden for him, and to share your sorrows for you."

Seeing that the emperor was hesitating, Ji Qirui knew that he was worried about his ability to do things, so he swore and said, "Father, don't worry, this matter will be handled by the ministers, and nothing will happen."

Although the emperor was really worried about whether Ji Qirui could do a good job, but thinking that he was his own son, he would always learn to deal with these things in the future, and he happened to have this opportunity this time, and Ji Changye guided him, so he agreed, but he still didn't feel at ease and said, "Okay, you will immediately leave for Sulou Town to assist the regent in handling this matter." But don't let others know about it, I will announce to the public that you are going to inspect the people, and you should not expose it. When you get there, follow the regent's instructions and don't be presumptuous, you know?"

"Yes, Erchen knows." Ji Qirui was very happy to see that his plan succeeded, and he was perfunctory to the emperor's instructions.

Because of the idea in his heart, after Ji Qirui left the palace and returned to the prince's mansion, he did not delay and asked his subordinates to pack up their things, and left the imperial capital in a carriage to go to Sulou Town.

Heyang Palace.

"Lord, the crown prince left the imperial capital and went to Sulou Town."

Listening to the reports of his subordinates, Ji Changhe couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why is this Su Lou Town again?" What is he doing there, did His Majesty send him?"

"Yes, it was His Majesty who sent the crown prince to Sulou Town to observe the people's situation."

"Sensitive to the people's feelings? What are you doing with such a good thing?" Ji Changhe felt that there was something wrong with this.

The subordinates understood and hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to send someone to follow the prince?" See what they're going to do?"

After thinking for a moment, Ji Changhe shook his head and said, "If there is a hidden circumstance about the prince's going, His Majesty arranged it, he will definitely secretly send people to follow him to protect him, those are the secret guards of the forbidden army, we can't provoke them, and they are easy to expose." So it's better to wait and see what else Your Majesty has to do next."
