Prince's Mansion, conservatory.

The originally gloomy and bleak prince's mansion was full of joy at this time, almost everyone was smiling because of the prince's return, and the sound of celebratory firecrackers could even be clearly heard outside.

But in stark contrast to the laughter outside, there is a dull atmosphere in the conservatory, at this time the prince sits upright, his cheeks are thin, his eyebrows are locked, and some of the others are sitting upright, but their eyebrows are full of joy that cannot be concealed, that is because of the joy of the prince's return; some people pretend to be relaxed, but their eyes are full of worry, that is because of the worry that the four princes hold military power.

After a long while, the prince slowly spoke, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lonely...... Determined to ask his father to resign as a crown prince......"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it scared several loyal followers of the prince in the greenhouse so much that even Zhang Datong, who had always been calm and calm, stood up in shock and blurted out: "Never!"

Ning Tongyi was as anxious as fire, and immediately knelt in the hall, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, don't do it!!"

Everyone else also knelt down one after another, and Gu Cangping said with a look of shame: "Humble and stupid, His Royal Highness has been wronged like this, the lord humiliates his ministers to death, and he deserves to die for his humble position!"

Xiao Yueping also choked up and said: "Why does Your Highness say this? If Your Highness gives up at this time, what will happen to the people in the world? What about the Great Qi Dynasty and the Great Qi Country? Will Your Highness want to watch the four princes destroy this great country in one fell swoop?"

The prince is also indomitable on weekdays, strong as iron, at this time to say such discouraged words, it can be seen that his heart is also sad and desperate to the extreme, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's lonely and incompetent, it has affected you, and Lone has made arrangements for you here, far away from Shenjing, although the place is a little cold, but ...... Even if you are far away from Jingshi, I think the fourth brother will not embarrass you too much. ”

Ning Tongyi stood up suddenly, and he said angrily: "What kind of person does Your Highness think of me?"

Gu Cangping also got up and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness treats me like a national soldier, and we should repay him as a national soldier!

The prince said with red eyes: "One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. Lonely and incompetent, no matter how hard he tries, he can't please his father, and now the wood is complete......"

Gu Cangping immediately said: "Why did Your Highness say this? Now that His Highness has already taken the lead, why did he say such disheartening and frustrating words?"

The crown prince laughed miserably: "My father has handed over the camp of Zhengxi to the fourth brother, which is nearly half of the elite forces in the entire Gyeonggi region...... Except for Long Tenghai and the Zhan family, he has a heavy army in his hands!" As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Datong and said bitterly: "Taifu once taught me: The emperor is the one who is strong and the horse is strong! If there are no heavy troops in his hands, how can he sit on this throne?"

Gu Cangping laughed: "It turns out that His Royal Highness is worried about this matter!"

The prince looked at Gu Cangping in confusion and said, "Why do you say this? Could it be that the fourth brother has 200,000 heavy troops in his hands, can't he be worried?"

Gu Cangping said with a smile: "If these 200,000 heavy soldiers have been stationed in Jinggi, or controlled the five gates, it is indeed like a sword hanging on the head, like a fish in the throat, but these 200,000 troops are with the four princes on an expedition to the northwest, once the four princes leave Shenjing, then he will be like a tiger from the mountain, a dehydrated sea Jiao, and he will never be able to stir up again!"

Ning Tongyi slapped his face and laughed: "Ah, in the end, it is the prince's think tank! This is a great good!" After that, he excitedly arched his hand towards the prince, and said very quickly: "Your Highness, don't worry! Just as the so-called soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, the 200,000 soldiers eat horses and chew them, which are all piled up by mountains of gold and silver! As long as we continue to firmly control the household department, then the life and death of these 200,000 troops will be controlled by us!"

The prince is also a person who has led soldiers, and the reason why he is worried and desperate is because a series of mistakes and blows have thrown him into chaos!

Especially after the emperor imprisoned him in the Changqiu Palace, he thought about it carefully, and after the clues and suspicious cases were sorted out like this, the results he got made him shudder!

From the assassination of the prince at the beginning, to the bloody case in Taiyang City, to the assassination of the big star official, and later the night attack on Xie Fangyuan, as well as the appalling Ming Concubine murder case, this series of cases, only the last Ming Concubine murder case was detected, and the others were all sunk into the sea!

The cases arrested by the three divisions can't be investigated?

Why?

Isn't it because the power of the main messenger behind it is too strong?

If it was the fourth brother, then the third division would inevitably ask the emperor, and the emperor would cover him again and again...... So what does that mean?

Especially when he was released from house arrest and heard the news that the fourth brother visited General Zhengxi, he couldn't help but be pessimistic and desperate!

But hearing Gu Cangping and Ning Tongyi's analysis, the prince immediately understood, and his face was more ruddy, and Xiao Yueping immediately followed up and said: "Your Highness, what Gu Langzhong and Ning Shilang said is extremely true! At the moment, it seems that the four princes have the upper hand, but in fact, he is in danger, as long as he leaves Beijing, it will be the day of his death!"

Zhang Datong laughed: "At this moment, we just need to calm down, wait and see the changes, and help the four princes leave Beijing quickly to sit and watch the wall!"

Ning Tongyi said: "Do we want to immediately open the door for the four princes to raise food and grass to leave Beijing, so that he can leave Beijing as soon as possible?"

Gu Cangping immediately said: "No! The fourth prince is not a fool, if we try our best to urge him to leave Beijing, he should have doubts! Today's plan is to immediately contact the imperial historian and violently impeach him for being a prince but holding a heavy army, and once he leaves Beijing, he will have a bad intention. ”

Xiao Yueping slapped her face and said, "Good! I'll arrange it!"

Ning Tongyi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll contact the military department and ask them to prepare for the conscription as soon as possible." ”

The prince pondered for a while, and said: "You must prepare the best, the fourth brother's expedition is to assist the Zhan family to guard the Nine Prisons, in case the Nine Nether Kings are born again to cause chaos, this matter is not trivial, don't mislead the world with personal grudges!"

Ning Tongyi admired: "Your Highness has a noble character and has the world in mind, and the old minister admires it!"

Several people were planning in a low voice in the room, when they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then a person outside shouted: "Report! Urgent!!"

Everyone in the room immediately looked pale, this period of change in Beijing is too fast, people are dizzying, frightened, no one knows what earth-shattering changes will occur in the next second, so that when they hear this kind of urgent news, they can't help but be shocked when they hear this kind of urgent news!

The prince said in a deep voice: "Enter!"

A guard rushed in at the door, and with a biting gust of cold wind, he held a red lacquered wooden box aloft and presented it.

Everyone's hearts jumped, because they knew that only the most important and urgent news would be delivered in a red wooden box.

Xiao Yueping stepped forward to take the wooden box, took a deep breath, opened the wooden box, and immediately widened his eyes after just one glance, his face became iron-blue, and he said coldly: "The fourth prince fell into the lake when he took the princess to swim in East Lake, and at this time he was in a cold attack and unconscious......"

When Gu Cangping heard this, he immediately blurted out: "It's not good!!! The fourth prince has already seen through the emperor's intention to divert the tiger from the mountain, he ...... This is a bitter ploy to harm yourself and delay time!!"
