"Caoyun has been found." Ning Yi said, "Father, the minister wants that Dong'an City can't hide those thousands of private soldiers, and I have been investigating the town next to Dong'an City, but I still haven't found anything. ”

"The only possibility is that the eldest prince will send people away through Cao Yun. The minister found out that now Caoyun is in charge of the Shanyin Ji family, and Ji Ting, the head of the Ji family, has a good relationship with Rong Zheng in private, so the minister checked Caoyun. ”

"If my father allows it, the minister will check and confiscate the luck, and he will definitely gain something." Ning Yi said.

"The Ji family has been in charge of Caoyun for more than ten years, and there are a lot of taxes and tributes every year, if there is no evidence, you can't act rashly."

Dong'an City has been in turmoil too much, and Caoyun involves rivers and lakes and many places, and it is quite risky to take action.

"I understand." Ning Yi said.

"Let Yuan Zhen come in, you stand down and wait outside." Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"Yes, Father." Ning Yi withdrew.

Yuan Zhen knew that when his father was still willing to see him, there was still hope for everything.

He entered the inner hall of the Qianyuan Hall and immediately knelt down, "The son of the emperor sees his father." ”

"Zhen'er, what are you doing when you come to see me?"

"Father, the minister is here to accept the guilt."

"Oh? What sin are you going to receive? ”

"Whether it is what the Rong family does or what Yuzhen does, the sons are all guilty." Yuan Zhendao.

"What do you mean is that the Rong family has an affair with Xishu, and Rong Yuzhen has Gu insects and Yi'er, you know everything?" Emperor Jinghe asked.

"Erchen doesn't know." Yuan Zhen said, "Father, if the son and the emperor know, how could they allow the family to do such a rebellious thing, and how could they let Yuzhen plot to kill the emperor's heir!" Father, the son can swear to the sky, the son really doesn't know. ”

"But Erchen is guilty, the Rong family has always been attached to Erchen, has always helped Erchen, and wants his son to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, so he will do so many things. Even if the retainer is unaware of these crimes, he should be punished with the same crimes. ”

Emperor Jinghe looked at his son, his eyes darkened, "Zhen'er, I ask you, do you have the heart to be a prince?" ”

Yuan Zhen smiled helplessly, "Father, the son does have, the son has been the eldest son of the emperor for more than 20 years, although he has never been set up as the prince, but he has always acted as the eldest son and even the prince." Erchen knew that his father had always wanted to unify the entire eastern land, and Erchen had always taken this as his goal, encouraging and motivating himself. ”

On that day, You'er was made the prince, and his son was disappointed and sad, but then he was relieved. Erchen originally thought that it would be good for You'er to be the prince, and Erchen would be able to assist the prince to fulfill his father's wish. Who knew that the Rong family would do such a thing, Yuzhen would do such a thing, and Su'er would die suddenly, and Erchen thought that this might be fate. ”

When it comes to the young death, Emperor Jinghe can't help but feel sad in his heart, and he is not so tough on Yuan Zhen.

The queen mother knew that Yuan Su died young, and she was even more sad, and on the way to the princess's mansion yesterday, she also told him that no matter how big a mistake Zhen'er made, he was still a prince in the end, and he should not be too ruthless.

Not to mention that he just died of a sister-in-law, which is already very pitiful!

"Father, the sons know the responsibility of the Rong family, and the sons and daughters are to blame. Erchen begged the emperor to spare Yuzhen's life, and Erchen was willing to take Yuzhen and Ling'er to the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs to serve the ancestors, pray for his father, and never leave the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs. ”

Yuan Zhen said, kowtowing heavily in front of Emperor Jinghe.

Emperor Jinghe was slightly moved when he heard this, and he said, "Zhen'er, Rong Yuzhen is the emperor's heir, how can he be spared?" ”

"But father, the emperor has already died, isn't it a life for a life? Yuzhen has been punished the heaviest in the world. Yuan Zhen said with red eyes.

Emperor Jinghe's heart moved slightly, and he also felt that his son was reasonable.

"Father, Ling Er'an is only six years old, and she can't live without her biological mother. Father and son-in-law swore that they would never go out of the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs again, and so did Rong Yuzhen. Our husband and wife sued and recited the Buddha every day, prayed for the blessing of our father and mother, and begged my father to spare her life. ”

"......" Emperor Jinghe knew that the untimely death of Su'er should be a great blow to Yuan Zhen.

And Yuan Zhen has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, and he is an excellent, shrewd and capable prince. It's the first time he's begged himself like this when he's grown so big.

"Father, the son only has this small request, please fulfill the father." Yuan Zhen kowtowed again.

"I can consider agreeing, but I have something to ask you, and you have to answer truthfully?" Emperor Jing He asked.

"Even if the father asks, the son will answer truthfully."

"I received an excerpt, which includes thousands of soldiers from your private government, but is there such a thing?"

Yuan Zhen heard it and said busily, "Father, the son did raise some government soldiers, those government soldiers are all in the palace, and the father can check at any time, these government soldiers are only more than 100 people, how can there be thousands of people." ”

"Really?" Emperor Jinghe was a little skeptical.

"Absolutely." Yuan Zhendao.

Emperor Jinghe thought to himself, it was okay not to kill Rong Yuzhen, and sent their husband and wife to the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs to be strictly guarded, and if it was really found that he had private soldiers, he would deal with him strictly.

"Since you have decided to go to the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs, then I will follow you, and you will pack up and set off tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Father." Yuan Zhen was overjoyed, "Father, when will Yuzhen return to the mansion?" ”

"I asked Zijiu to send Rong Yuzhen to the Great Prince's Mansion today." After speaking, Emperor Jinghe passed on Ning Yi to come in.

"See Father." Ning Yi came in and saluted.

"Zijiu, you will send the eldest princess to the eldest prince's mansion in a while!" Jinghe Emperor's Road.

"Yes, Father." Ning Yi replied, "At this time, the eldest princess has been disposed of, and the minister also plans to send the body of the eldest princess to the eldest prince's mansion. ”

Yuan Zhen's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he looked at Ning Yi in shock.

Emperor Jinghe was also stunned: "You have already disposed of Rong Yuzhen." ”

Ning Yi replied, "Back to my father, after the minister got your message, he gave it with poisonous wine early this morning, and the eldest princess has died." At this time, the body has been packed and can be sent to the Grand Prince's Mansion at any time. ”

"Father!" No matter how calm Yuan Zhen was, he couldn't help it at this moment, and his body trembled slightly.

Obviously, he had already begged for Yuzhen's life in front of his father, but Ning Zijiu had actually poisoned Yuzhen to death!

"I have indeed made an order before, and Rong Nanshan and Rong Yuzhen's father and daughter will give poisoned wine." Emperor Jinghe said, "I didn't expect Zijiu to do it so quickly, Zhen'er, maybe Rong Yuzhen should be like this!" I wanted to spare her life, but it was too late. ”

Yuan Zhen is not stupid, does his father really want to spare Rong Yuzhen's life?

No, his father wanted to kill her at all, he just said this to appease himself, and deliberately said to spare her life, but he let Ning Zijiu deal with it in advance.

Ning Yi didn't seem to understand anything, and his face showed a look of panic, "Father, the minister has misbehaved, please punish the father!" ”

"It has nothing to do with you, it's my words first." Jinghe Emperor said, "But you're acting too fast!" ”
