The old emperor cultivated for three whole days, and during these three days, the direction of the court changed abruptly, and the courtiers who were originally unanimously on the side of the prince began to frequently write books to attack him, criticize him for all kinds of evil deeds, and accuse him of all kinds of wrongs.

The wind and clouds are surging, the waves are sweeping the sand, the prince really underestimated the courtiers' minds for profit, underestimated the nature of good birds to choose trees and perch, he thought that as long as he stood up and killed Chu Xiu, he could win the hearts of the ministers, and he did it at first, but after a long time, after the old emperor's targeted suppression of him, the minds of the ministers became active again, and they began to look for their own forces to take refuge。

How sad?

How helpless?

Maybe without the appearance of Tuobalie, it would be a different scene now, maybe the prince's real plan may succeed, but unfortunately there is no if in the world.

Lying on the sickbed, the old emperor's wrinkled eyes opened a slit, squinted at Dongfang Changqing, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was kneeling not far away, and said with a full sense of anger: "Can you find out?" Listening to his confidence, he didn't look like a patient who had coughed for three days and three nights and had not been to court for many days.

"After checking it out, it is indeed as expected by His Majesty, the few people who have destroyed the excerpts are all the hardcores of the Ten Princes before they were imprisoned. Dongfang Changqing replied word by word.

"Sure enough, something else. ”

"The subordinates have ascertained that the content of the Ten Princes is indeed true, and the Ten Princes have privately encircled a lot of land throughout the country, some of which are used to raise horses, some are used to refine weapons, some are used to train soldiers, and some are used to cultivate land and sow seeds, and there is indeed a suspicion of rebellion.

But the minister thought that there was one thing that was very suspicious, that is, the local officials were all petty officials of the sesame mung bean point, and they all had the courage to give direct advice, and dared to play and reprimand the many crimes of the ten princes, which was obviously abnormal. So the subordinates carefully checked the relevant records of each post station, and found that the handwriting on the records was too complete and clear, and it was likely that it was newly added. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty much sure. ”

"That's right, it all makes sense. ”

Dongfang Changqing knelt on the ground, his head bowed and waited quietly for His Majesty to finish speaking.

"It's true that Zhen'er trained soldiers and horses, but the places he chose were all remote areas, and the local magistrates didn't dare to do anything to him, they turned a blind eye to his behavior, and they didn't dare to go to the book at all. Probably the only exception is the one named Zuo Zongzheng, who has played more than a dozen recitals for four consecutive years, but they have all been intercepted by Zhen'er.

By the way, has this investigation called Zuo Zongzheng been investigated, and what is the result?"

"He is a clean official, upright, and there is no problem with the four walls of his family. ”

"That's right, I will vigorously reuse him in the future, there are not many officials like him who dare to speak out and are not afraid of power. "Knowing people and being good at duty is the characteristic of the old emperor, and it is also his characteristic to be discerning, and in the past few days, he has secretly investigated the truth of the matter by saying that he is sick, "Some people must have known these things committed by Zhen'er for a long time, and they have been holding back, deliberately conniving at him to the point of irreversibility." Taking advantage of the time when Zhen'er was under house arrest, that person made a careful layout, using the means of Tongtian to replace all the records of each post station, the far-reaching thinking, the meticulous planning was amazing, and he must be a person who deeply understands the physique of officials.

Zuo Zongzheng's blood fold was before Zhen'er was imprisoned, that is to say, this fold was held in the hands of that person for five months, and he used this fold to draw out Zhen'er's layout in the country, so that all the local magistrates related to this matter vigorously impeached Zhen'er to show their loyalty, in fact, they are all fake, except for Zuo Zongzheng, no one else has ever been on a letter at all, not at all.

Turning what there is not into something, these people will become grasshoppers on the same line as the layouter, and they will bite the real thing according to the layout person's plan. Coupled with the shouts and cheers of the other courtiers, it can be said that this is a ruthless move that is enough to checkmate Zhen'er. ”

"Your Majesty, how can the arranger escape Your Majesty's eyes if he is clever and clever. ”

"It's a pity that it's useless to escape my eyes, not to mention that the records of the post houses around the country are old and new and difficult to effectively verify, it is indeed true that Zhen'er privately trained soldiers and horses, which is irrefutable, compared to this, whether the ministers are on the book, how to write is just a means to pierce this layer of window paper, it is secondary, even if it is pursued, it should be placed behind this matter.

So, no matter what I do, I will fall into the trap of the arranger, and willingly or not, I will have to follow his plan and achieve what he intends to achieve. ”

"Your Majesty thinks it's who is behind all this. ”

"Who else can there be besides Murong Nan's old guy! Their Murong family is Murong Nan's most scheming, and he can endure it the most, he has waited for so long, just waiting for Zhen'er Yelang to be arrogant and expose his flaws and kill him in one fell swoop. ”

"After all, he is the right prime minister of the empire, and Murong Nan's reputation has always been below Tuoba Zichu, but his methods are really clever. ”

"Zichu is a national scholar, and everything he does is for the sake of the country, and Murong Nan is a traitor, and everything he does is to benefit himself. ”

"But after all, he is the uncle of the eldest prince. ”

"Yes, he is Yuanji's biological uncle, and he is the biological brother of the harem queen, and he can't move easily. ”

"At this point, what does Your Majesty think. ”

"Rong Zhen is thinking about it, you have kept an eye on them for me during this time, and I will report to me at any time if there is any trouble. ”

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

......

The time of the layout may be one year, it may be two years, it may be three years, four years, or even five years, six years and so on.

Behind the eldest prince is the queen mother who leads the harem, there is the sinister and cunning right prime minister of the empire Murong Nan, there is the invincible, invincible, and invincible imperial general Wang Shangguan Hongri, who controls hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the border army, and there are many courtiers who support him, and many capable people.

The power of the eldest prince is so strong, it seems that he has a feeling of being in the sky, although he himself doesn't think about these things except eating, drinking, and having fun every day, but he is still strong, and his strength comes from the deep background of the Murong family.

Compared with the eldest prince, the prince is obviously dwarfed, and the power he controls is really limited. It's hard to imagine how not long ago, the true prince, that is, the elder brother of the fierce prince, forced such a powerful prince into a corner.

Tuoba Lie betrayed his biological brother for his own rise, and although his relationship with his brother was not good in the first place, perhaps this move would bring disaster to the concubine's family and make the situation develop in a direction that was unfavorable to them.

Mist, the court is full of mist, and the enemy has already made a move.

The old emperor was forced to have no choice but to call himself sick all day long and not go to the court, because once the court faced the forced palace of the ministers, he had to make a real punishment for the prince, and such a serious crime was by no means a simple imprisonment.

He understands the meaning of the people behind the scenes, he doesn't want to do what the people behind the scenes think, he is the emperor, he is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and the life and death of all people should be firmly grasped in his hands, not what others tell him to do.

The old emperor felt more and more that a force was pushing him and pushing him to make decisions, he felt alert, and he regretted letting Lie'er replace Zhen'er, because it seemed that there was still a certain gap between Lie'er and Zhen'er's strength, and he couldn't replace his brother to form a hostile relationship with Yuanji.

"Hey, it's always a wave of unsettled, and a wave of rises. Looking at the infant baby, who was his tenth son, the tenth son of the emperor, Tuobari, he felt the need to speed up the plan.

On the tenth day of the continuous illness of the early dynasty, the old emperor finally issued a decree: "Deprive Ling Ruyi of the title of concubine." "This is a big signal, the next step in depriving the title is to enter the cold palace, once the number two person in the original harem is beaten into the cold palace, the fate can be imagined, and the reason why His Majesty the Emperor did this is obviously to punish the prince really to open the way.

In this way, the power of the concubine Niangniang is about to lose ground.

Tuoba Lie felt the unprecedented pressure, he didn't dare to enter the palace to meet the queen mother, for fear of seeing the queen mother's cold eyes, to a certain extent, the tenth brother was arrested and the concubine lost power, all because of himself.

He found Tuoba Phoenix, who avoided it and sent out a note with four words clearly written: "Wait and see." Tuoba Lie sighed deeply, he felt incomprehensible, if even the queen mother had an accident, would his disaster be far away!

So he went back and found Shen Fei, but Shen Fei told him four words, the same "wait and see." Tuoba Lie was deeply puzzled by this, he thought that Shen Fei would have a different opinion from Tuoba Phoenix.

Both of them are Tuoba Lie's hardcore, naturally they will not harm him, they let Tuoba Lie wait and see the changes because they saw the ambiguous attitude of the old emperor, the old emperor obviously made the punishment decision under the coercion of the ministers, he should have other ideas in his heart, he was balanced and saw that the forces of the concubine Niangniang and his family had suffered heavy losses, and the old emperor was the most anxious person now, because he needed to maintain the balance of the court. At this time, you must wait and see what happens, and wait until he asks for help before lending a helping hand.

Sure enough, after the title of the concubine was withdrawn, the old emperor did not make any moves for nearly a week, during which the concubine lived in her palace as usual, enjoying all the privileges of the second person in the harem, and was not deprived of the title of decadence at all.

As a result, the courtiers fell again like snowflakes, and it seemed that they would not give up until the old emperor was bombarded to a compromise, and the latter was forced to issue a second decree on the night of the seventh day: "Escort the prince to the prison." ”

This sends a very clear signal that the prince is still imprisoned, but the person who is imprisoned is a prisoner, proving that the prince is really about to be abandoned. The behind-the-scenes manipulators of the whole matter did not give up when they saw this result, and continued to encourage the ministers to play impeachment, and forced the old emperor to execute this heinous son no matter what.

However, the third decree of the old emperor was delayed.

The situation between the DPRK and China is becoming more and more chaotic, as if a powder keg filled with explosives can be completely ignited and exploded with only a small fuse.

In such a tense situation, Shen Fei was idle as a cloth cloth, he often walked on the street these days, and he could always see unfamiliar faces appear on the narrow streets of the imperial capital Chang'an City, these people were Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, and they all arrived in the imperial capital one after another after their impassioned declaration of war. The human kingdom has always been the territory of the Buddha sect, and the scattered immortals have been suppressed for too long, and they came here this time to try their luck and see if Shen Fei is worth following.

Because of the existence of this kind of thought, they came here but kept a certain distance from Shen Fei, in case the momentum was not right, and they would get into trouble.

Walking on the long and winding streets of Chang'an City, I came to Fengming Courtyard unconsciously, I don't know how many times, Shen Fei will always come here unconsciously, sit on the table downstairs and listen to the music, and then look upstairs to see what Miss Junya of his clan is doing at the moment.

The latter was obviously deliberately alienating him, always pretending not to know him, and never glancing at him.

Miss Junya is very busy as the old bustard of Fengming Academy, and she needs to be sent every day, and she needs to deal with all aspects of the relationship, Shen Fei watched her interact with all kinds of men, entangle, and even flirt with all kinds of men, and felt a little uncomfortable.

This is not to say that he likes each other, but because of Junya's special status, a Rakshasa woman who hates mortals deeply is forced to laugh at all kinds of men here, and even sell herself, and the pain she endures can be imagined.

Finally couldn't help it, Shen Fei went upstairs and was stopped by four muscular men. Miss Junya was in the room, the door was open, and an old man sat across the table, and the two were talking.

Hearing the voice, Junya's eyes swept over, and she swirled around Shen Fei with a flirtatious look, and then withdrew it, but heard Shen Fei say outside the door: "Miss Junya, you brought you the tea you asked me to buy last time." He was open-minded.

Junya exhaled coldly, sank, and said to the man across the table, "I'm sorry, I have some things to do today, let's talk about it another day?"

Although the man was old, he didn't have a lustful expression on his face, his eyes were bright, and after looking at Shen Fei, he seemed to recognize his identity, showed a secretive smile, stood up from his seat at the moment, and said: "Since Miss Junya has something to do, then Zhang won't bother, let's talk another day." After that, he hurriedly went downstairs, and when he passed by Shen Fei, he looked at him deeply twice, looking like he was grinning.
