Shenchen learned from Tianxianglou that Tianqingmen was looking for a girl named Rong'er, but he didn't know who Rong'er was, so he decided to go to the inn to have a look, there were many people there, and someone would know.

Yun Feng took Nan Yanxue and Xiao Ziyi back to the palace, he had been thinking about what Miss Yue'er of Tianxianglou said, and before he could figure out the reason for this, a major event happened in the palace, and the second son of the palace was suddenly taken into the prison of the Criminal Department.

The palace was suddenly in chaos, the prince did not get the news in advance, and the servant of the criminal department suddenly took the holy decree to the mansion to get people.

"This is what the emperor meant. The squire of the criminal department only left a simple sentence.

The prince hurriedly went to the palace to inquire only to learn that someone impeached him, and someone went to the emperor to submit evidence, saying that the second prince of the palace colluded with the household servant to deduct the disaster relief funds, resulting in the displacement of the victims in the southwest and the death and injury everywhere.

In order to solve the disaster, the imperial court exempted and exempted forced labor, paid taxes, and allocated 500,000 taels of silver to purchase disaster relief materials for the victims.

In some places in the southwest, there was even a peasant uprising, demanding the overthrow of the imperial court, and the emperor could only take some urgent measures to stabilize the people's hearts.

The emperor was furious, and immediately ordered someone to put the offshore and household books into the prison of the criminal department.

The prince and the head of the household have always had a good relationship, but if the two of them concealed their deduction of disaster relief funds, he would not believe it anyway, and he didn't think that his son would do that, in his heart the second son has always been a compassionate character.

Someone must have framed him! The prince decided to go to the prison of the Criminal Department first to ask for clarification, and it took a lot of effort before the secretary of the Criminal Department agreed to let the prince go in and meet him.

"The emperor specially explained that no one is allowed to visit before the case is concluded, and the prince must be cautious. The criminal department Shangshu repeatedly explained.

"Thank you Chen Shangshu. The prince said and waved at Shangshu, with a lot of sadness in his heart, but as a prince, he still had to go to the court minister.

Entering the prison, surrounded by cells separated by iron doors and chains, the ground was dark and damp, the prince found the second son under the leadership of the guard, the second son was sitting on the ground in frustration, and when he saw the prince coming, he immediately crawled to the iron door and shouted: "Father save me, father save me......"

"You tell me honestly, deducting disaster relief funds, but what did you do?" asked the prince sharply.

"I didn't! I didn't! I swear I really didn't!" shouted hysterically from the shore, the prince didn't believe that it was the second son, but now he saw the reaction of the second son, and completely convinced his thoughts: the second son was framed.

The prince decided to find out who was behind the scenes, he wanted to see the household secretary again, but the guards told him that he could only see the second son, and the prince could only return to the mansion first.

"I'm sure which demon girl did it!" said Liqing.

The prince has not suspected that since Concubine Rong entered the palace, there has been a force in the court that is secretly competing with the palace, but the emperor personally sent someone to be responsible for the disaster relief funds, and the household department Shangshu has always been a close confidant of the prince.

If it is really Concubine Rong's doing, then most of the officials in the court are afraid that most of the officials have become Concubine Rong's power, but Concubine Rong has only been in the palace for a few years, and there is no one to support her, so it is not easy to do this.

"Lu Yan, immediately go to the army and tell Li Feng not to act rashly, this matter will be investigated by my father. ”

"Yes! Father!" Lu Yan finished speaking, and rode his horse to the northwest.

Lifeng is the general of the country, Lu Yan is the deputy general in the army, the border is unstable, Lifeng is guarded in the border area all the year round, and Lu Yan is personally recalled by the emperor this time, after he came back, he first told the emperor about the military situation in the northwest, and the emperor asked him to go back to the house to rest after listening, and this break lasted for more than half a year, the emperor seems to have forgotten him, and he himself did not dare to return to the army without authorization.

After Lu Yan left, the prince convened his cronies overnight to discuss countermeasures, and used the eyeliner planted in the palace to inquire about the emperor's movements.

I learned from the mouth of the eunuch that the emperor had secretly decreed the history of the assassination of the southwest state a few days ago, and the southwest was the disaster area.

"Immediately go to the southwest to find out the flow of disaster relief funds and the movement of the assassin history in the southwest state!" said the prince to Wu Changjun, the entourage beside him.

"Yes!" Wu Changjun finished speaking, and set off for the southwest.

And on the side of the prison of the Criminal Department, the prince has already taken care of everything to ensure that the second son is safe inside, and the adults of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites have also assured the prince that they will protect the second son.

Everything seemed to be under the control of the prince, but he never thought that the emperor would suddenly interrogate him personally.

In the main hall of the Imperial Palace, a person kneeling in front of the emperor trembling all over, and it was Concubine Rong who was waiting next to the emperor.

At that time, Lu Yan told her that he couldn't marry her, she knelt down and begged him, but he still ruthlessly shook off his hand, what she wanted to do all her life was to marry him, but it was the offshore family who tore up her dream with their own hands, they had no guilt, and let the county lord practice her, and now she has to return all this, she has been planning for many years to find this rare opportunity, this time she must make the palace pay.

And the offshore who was kneeling in the main hall also knew that he had committed a heinous crime, so when his father went to ask him, he didn't dare to admit it, he just wanted his father to save him quickly, but he waited in prison for two days without waiting for his father, but waiting for Gonggong Su by the emperor's side.

"The emperor has personally interrogated Lord Hubu Shangshu. Father-in-law Su whispered to him on the way to lead him.

He walked into the hall nervously, the emperor sat in the center of the hall with a serious expression, and Concubine Rong was waiting beside the emperor, at that moment he seemed to understand something, he saw what his sister had done to Concubine Rong in the past, he knew that she hated them, and she would never let them go.

"Do you have anything to say about deducting money?" the emperor asked sharply.

He sighed on the shore, knowing that his sin was unforgivable, but if his death could be exchanged for the peace of everyone in the palace, it would be worth it.

"There is no forgiveness for offshore sins, but one is to die. Offshore knelt on the ground and said.

"Does the prince know about this?"

"I did this alone, my father didn't know about it, and I asked the emperor to know it!" He didn't expect the emperor to ask like this, he was afraid that the emperor's purpose was not in him, but in the entire palace, if that was the case, his father and brother would be in danger, he didn't know why he was obsessed with the idea of disaster relief, he was not that kind of person, and he was not short of silver, but in those days he tried his best to deduct the silver, and the head of the household book somehow hit it off with himself, and the two of them deducted more than half of the salary.

When he and Shangshu came to their senses, the victims in the southwest had been killed and injured everywhere, and the emperor was also angry about this, and secretly sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"The shore is guilty, but he wants to die quickly, but my father doesn't know about this matter, so I ask the emperor to know it!"

Concubine Rong looked a little unbearable, he was still a child back then, everything had nothing to do with him, she didn't want to embarrass him, but she needed to find a breakthrough, the prince was cautious everywhere, and the prince was leading the troops all the year round, she had asked the emperor to recall Lu Yan, but she still couldn't do anything to him, she struggled for a long time and could only start from him, and Hubu Shangshu was a confidant of the prince, so get rid of the two together, she had to slowly cut off the prince's henchmen, she wanted to let the palace fall, and let Liqing slowly feel the taste of loss.

"Come on, put the offshore on death row, and behead him soon!" The emperor angrily brushed his sleeves away, and his most trusted palace actually stabbed him in the back, and this knife almost ruined his country.

Watching the emperor walk out of the main hall, there were only the guards and Concubine Rong who rushed in the hall.

"I'm sorry. He kowtowed to Concubine Rong, who was about to walk out of the temple gate, hoping that his death would make her let go of the hatred in her heart.

Concubine Rong glanced back at him and left in a hurry, although she couldn't bear it at that moment, she had to send it at the right moment, she couldn't do anything about him.

Offshore was put on death row, the prince who didn't know it was running around, and Wu Changjun, who rushed to the meeting overnight from the southwest, brought bad news, the disaster relief money was indeed deducted, and all the evidence pointed to the second son and the lord of the household department.

"This rebel!" the prince overturned the table in the study, and before he could recover from it, the waiter of the criminal department secretly sent someone to tell the prince that he had been taken to death row and would be beheaded in the near future.

The prince sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and he had two sons, one who led the troops to fight outside all the year round, but the only son who was by his side was going to be beheaded.

"Changjun, go to the northwest immediately to tell you about Lifeng, and let him find a way to delay the military situation. ”

The frontier is unstable, the prince has been guarding the frontier for many years from Fengzhen, and he has a lot of experience, if the frontier is in an emergency at this time, the prince guesses that the emperor will have some concerns.

"Yes!" Wu Changjun received the order, and rushed to the northwest non-stop, the life of the second prince was at stake, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment.

Wu Changjun only took one day to rush to the barracks, before Lu Yan had told Li Feng about being locked up offshore, but he didn't expect that only two days later, he had already been put on death row offshore.

"The prince asked you to find a way to delay the military situation, this method may save the life of the second son. ”

"Good. "Lifeng is quite chilled by the emperor's behavior, he has guarded the frontier for the emperor for many years, but he didn't expect to end up on a death row offshore, this time, he must let the emperor know that without his palace, this frontier can still be guarded!
