After all, don't joke about the prince! Shao Xi also knew that Xiao Yuming called himself over today definitely not because he wanted to chat with him.

The crown prince, who doesn't interact much with officials in the DPRK and China on weekdays, suddenly took the initiative to summon himself as a four-grade inspector, although Xiao Changyi had previously said that they should move around more, but Shao Xi believed that Xiao Yuming would never change his usual style for no reason and make an exception for himself.

Let King Cheng Xiao Yuzhan go to find him, probably to avoid being thought by others that there is any unusual relationship between the prince and himself.

Even if he is bumped into, it can only be said that King Cheng has more contact with him, and Xiao Yuzhan, as the third prince, can block a lot of criticism for the prince.

"Wechen has long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not interact with officials in the court and China on weekdays, and today His Royal Highness specially asked His Royal Highness King Cheng to call Wechen over, thinking that there must be something important, and asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make it clear." Xiao Yuming saw that Shao Xi was quite direct, and asked himself straight to the point about the purpose of summoning him this time, and it seemed that he also knew what he wanted to ask him.

So Xiao Yuming didn't go around in circles, and asked Shao Xi directly: "Lord Shao was ordered by his father to send Nanzhao to Nanzhao this time, and there was a lot of trouble along the way!" Although I live in the East Palace, I have also heard of these news, and I heard that Lord Shao investigated the county guard Zhao family in Yujiang County.

"He also exterminated the private army he secretly raised, and adjusted the local tax amount, which can be regarded as a harm to the local people! It's just that this Zhao Huajun is just a county guard, how can he dare to raise a private army? This is a sin of treason! Lord Shao didn't check it, could there be someone behind it? After hearing this, Shao Xi sneered in his heart.

It seems that he was right in his judgment at the beginning, and this prince Xiao Yuming is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. I believe that with his well-informed information, he should have known that the commander behind the Zhao family was the second prince Xiao Yuzhi, but at this time, he asked himself knowingly, obviously he had made an accurate judgment on the current situation.

This Xiao Yuzhi raised a private army to plot a rebellion, if Xiao Changyi, the current saint, knew about it, he would definitely find a way to deal with Xiao Yuzhi, and the most likely means to take was to let Xiao Yuming, who was the crown prince, secretly execute Xiao Yuzhi to prevent future troubles.

In this way, Xiao Changyi, as the emperor, does not have to bear the notoriety of killing his son, and dumps this black cauldron directly to the prince, and when the matter spreads, the most that will be spread is that the prince and the second prince are fratricidal due to the struggle for power, not the struggle for imperial power between father and son.

Downgrading the situation to a struggle between princes, but as an emperor, he did not participate in it, and this matter was originally Xiao Yuzhi's mistake first, and it was reasonable for the prince to deal with it, and even if the Chinese military officials were dissatisfied, they did not dare to criticize it.

But in this way, Xiao Yuming, as the crown prince, has to bear the notoriety of killing his brother for fighting for power, although it was instructed by his father, there is no public instruction on the surface, and he will only let himself do it through hints.

Then as the crown prince, he must also find a way to find a rationale for his behavior, so as to prove that he is not doing this simply to keep his position as the crown prince, or to take this opportunity to hack his second brother because of years of sibling rivalry.

must find a high-sounding and justifiable reason to prove that although his behavior was not instigated by his father, he must also be reasonable, and prove that he put his second brother to death as a last resort for the sake of the stability of the court and the stability of the world.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Changyi didn't want to carry this black cauldron and threw it to the prince, and the prince had to carry it.

But Xiao Yuming has to find a way to make the civil and military ministers in the court, and the people of the world feel that he is not carrying this black cauldron for himself, but for the future of the Jingyuan Dynasty.

It is necessary to leave a prince for everyone, and at the expense of his own reputation, he must also stabilize the court, stabilize the world, and set up a person for himself who endures humiliation and burden.

At this time, Shao Xi secretly thought in his heart, this prince Xiao Yuming is really not simple, because this matter of Yujiang County is investigated by himself, if he can raise suspicions about Xiao Yuzhi from his own mouth, and even have conclusive evidence, then it will further confirm the rationality of Xiao Yuming's next disposal of Xiao Yuzhi.

At that time, in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Changyi, as Xiao Yuzhi's father, couldn't bear to attack his son, but Xiao Yuming, as the crown prince, was infamous for his father and killed his relatives.

In the end, a drama of the emperor's benevolence and the prince's righteousness was staged, turning the original prince's plot to rebel and seize power into a beautiful conversation between Xiao Changyi and Xiao Yuming's father and son.

In this way, the face of the royal family was maintained, and at the same time, the court was stabilized, the people were pacified, and the people of the world were sealed.

I have to say that the two fathers and sons are more successful than the other! This is obviously a conspiracy, everyone knows what is going on, but as a result of this matter, everyone can't find any criticism, and in the end they can only choose to shut up.

Among them, Shao Xi, who personally investigated the matter, became an extremely key figure. The reasonableness of the prince's actions must be proved by Shao Xi, although the emperor will pretend to reprimand the prince afterwards, but in the end he will definitely choose to forgive the prince, and this rationality must also be proved by Shao Xi.

The function of Shao Xi's existence is to prove that Xiao Yuzhi has the intention and behavior of conspiring to seize power, and to provide a strong basis for the subsequent behavior of Xiao Changyi and Xiao Yuming's father and son.

Although the two of them didn't say it explicitly, they had already put Shao Xi on the grill. It's tantamount to telling Shao Xi, we plan to do this thing, whether you want to be used as a gun by us or not, who let you personally find out about this matter?

You can't say no. Shao Xi had another snag in his heart, why did he always have to bring himself with him for this bit of?

In the end, the ministers of the faction who will support Xiao Yuzhi can't blame the emperor or the prince, so they can only blame themselves all.

Although Xiao Yuzhi was at fault first, this matter was brought out by himself, and it was inevitable that he would be criticized for making waves in the court, making the whole court up, and the royal family was not at peace.

In the end, Xiao Changyi and Xiao Yuming didn't have anything to do, but roasted themselves on the fire, Shao Xi couldn't help but secretly scolded the father and son in his heart.

However, Shao Xi didn't care very much about this matter, his original purpose was to take revenge on Xiao Yuzhi, as for what others thought of him, it was not particularly important, originally his own official was forced by Xiao Changyi to himself, and he didn't care much about what the officialdom thought of him.

It's great that I won't resign in the future, and I will be at ease away from officialdom, as long as I can avenge the revenge of Fengjiazhuang back then, my heart for more than ten years can be regarded as over.

However, since he learned from Lao Wu that he was a royal descendant, a descendant of the Xiao family, coupled with his parents and his unfortunate experience back then, Shao Xi didn't mind stirring up trouble in this royal family.

You were sorry for my parents back then, and now I shouldn't be too much to make you chickens and dogs jump, right?

It doesn't matter if you are the emperor or the crown prince, as a member of the Xiao family, you have to take responsibility for the things of the year after all, and it doesn't hurt to be used by you now.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has just gone to see the saint, and has made this matter clear to the saint, although there is no one else here, Weichen does not dare to say anything, who is the mastermind behind the private army and plotting to rebel in Yujiang County, or wait for the saint to inform His Highness!

"This matter involves a wide range of things, Wechen doesn't dare to have any lies, can only truthfully report to the saint, as for how the saint intends to deal with it, Wechen doesn't dare to put forward any opinions, everything is handed over to the saint and His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen is just doing the duty of the courtier." Joke!

I just told the emperor about such an important thing, and when I turned my head, your prince came to me to probe the wind, even if I know that you know it, you can't talk nonsense!

After all, the Holy One himself hasn't told you about this yet! If I had told you first, wouldn't I have overstepped the bounds?

Shao Xi's meaning is also obvious, I have already told your father about this, if you want to know, ask yourself, or wait for your father to call you to tell you, you don't want to get any exact news from my mouth.

It's okay if you want me to prove Xiao Yuzhi's guilt to you, but that's for later, for now, I just don't know anything, and I won't tell you anything.

Passing this matter to your prince through Xiao Changyi's mouth is a necessary process, and this process must not be skipped.

Your prince can only know the matter of the second prince from the mouth of your emperor Lao Tzu, and you must not know it from the mouth of me, a courtier, lest Xiao Changyi feel that my mouth as a courtier is as loose as an old lady's cotton trouser waist.

Although everyone is like Spiegel in their hearts about this matter now, they can't fall behind in the form they should take, and they must let things develop downwards step by step, only in this way will they not be held by others and put down the truth.

So now that your prince is asking me who is the mastermind behind this matter, this is a question that should not be raised.

However, Shao Xi knew that Xiao Yuming's main purpose in asking this question was not to know the result from his own mouth, but to test himself.

On the surface, it looks like he is asking himself this question, but in fact, how he answers is what Xiao Yuming really wants.

If he directly told him that the person behind him was the second prince, it is estimated that he would turn his face and directly reprimand himself for revealing such a confidential matter at will without the permission of the Holy Lord, then he would have no value to him.

A person who can't control his mouth is of no use, so Shao Xi gave a standard answer at this time, that is, what do you want to know to ask your emperor Lao Tzu.

This left Xiao Yuming with the impression of being cautious and decent. Shao Xi knew very well in his heart that Xiao Yuming had called himself here today not to ask something from his mouth.

His goal is himself.
