The assassination incident that occurred at the turn of the summer and autumn of the twelfth year of Jiading in the Song State caused a great shock in the Song Dynasty, and the prime minister Shi Miyuan entered the palace to cry to the emperor Zhao Kuo regardless of his own injuries, pointing the finger at the crown prince Zhao Hong, and implying that His Royal Highness the prince was the mastermind of the assassination.

This is indeed a bit wronged by the crown prince Zhao Hong, he is not the mastermind, just an accomplice, he wants to get rid of Shi Miyuan, it just so happened that the Mongols came to him to discuss this matter, this is when he was sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and His Royal Highness the prince used the power in his hands to provide some convenience, otherwise it would be difficult for those assassins to blend into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Hong thinks that this is a plot of the Mongols or the Western Xia people, success is gratifying, failure has nothing to do with him, but he still underestimated the sinister hearts of the people, there is such a thing as framing and blaming in this world, whether this matter is done by him or not, as long as someone wants to bring him down, then countless evidence will be fabricated, it can only be said that His Royal Highness the prince has no political mind, and is not suitable for this ghostly court.

Three days later, Emperor Zhao Kuan issued an order for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to reflect on himself in the East Palace, because a favorite concubine beside the Prince Zhao Hong reported His Royal Highness the Prince, and took out the letters exchanged between the Prince and the Mongols, in which His Royal Highness the Prince expressed His Royal Highness's dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Shi and his determination to get rid of him quickly.

From this point, it can be seen that being reported by the mistress is not a patent of later generations, but an ancient one, the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince was arranged by Shi Miyuan, not so much that His Royal Highness the Prince was planted on a woman, but that the Prime Minister was strategizing, which made His Royal Highness King Yi more and more cautious.

Yang Kang has been watching this court farce with a cold eye, there is no need for him to interfere, doing nothing is the best choice, thinking about the gifts and maidservants sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion in order to thank him for saving him. His Royal Highness King Yi was shocked for a while, which showed that Shi Miyuan had set his sights on him, which was naturally a good thing, but he had to guard against it, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the crown prince Zhao Hong, and he would test those servants with soul transfer ** later. Find out which spies are among them.

He learned more from Murong Yan, the prince of Western Xia, Li Chengzhen, was active frequently in the Western Xia Kingdom, and wanted to raise an army against the Mongol army left in Western Xia, but unfortunately he had no real power, no money and food, and only had the name of the Western Xia royal family, and those local armed forces were willing to support him just to use him to fight for interests, once the Mongol army attacked, those people betrayed Li Chengzhen. Gave the prince of Western Xia to the Mongols as a gift of surrender.

Murong Yan originally had a high status in the Xixia Yipintang, but this time he was forced to bring the masters of the Xixia Yipintang and the Western Regions to Lin'an Mansion to assassinate Shi Miyuan just to fight for Li Chengzhen a chance to live, the emperor did not kill Murong Yan, of course he would not let her go, but put her under house arrest, and he also needed this descendant of the Murong family to make a zuò mask for him.

As His Royal Highness King Yi grows older, he can't always use the same face, and he has to change slightly, otherwise it will arouse suspicion. Yang Kang promised to help Murong Yan save Li Chengzhen, which was a quid pro quo.

Murong Yan believed very much in the ability of His Majesty, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. She was indeed shocked when she saw the emperor at Shi Miyuan's birthday banquet, she didn't know who the person in the portrait was when she first made the mask, and at this time, she thought about it, a few years ago, the emperor had a plan to lurk in the Song Kingdom.

Assassinate the Mongol emperor, fake his death to escape, and plot to seize the throne of the Song State......

The person who can come up with such a shocking conspiracy needs not doubt his ability. What's more, there is still the Dajin Kingdom behind the emperor's majesty, and it is always more certain to rescue His Royal Highness the prince with the power of a country than for her to run alone, and she can also understand her own situation, the reason why the emperor did not kill her immediately was because of her disguise technique, and this kind of conspiracy to seize the imperial power of a country is naturally known to fewer people, the better.

Murong Yan didn't know that Yang Kang had lost the support of the Jin State. Agreeing to help is just perfunctory for her, as for Li Chengzhen's life and death, it can only depend on the will of God, His Royal Highness King Yi is competing for the position of the crown prince of the Song Kingdom, and there is no time to rescue the sad prince of Western Xia, of course, if he becomes the emperor of the Song Kingdom, Li Chengzhen may still have some use value.

Yang Kang didn't expect that the Mongols had such a great ability to move in Lin'an Mansion, and they could contact the crown prince Zhao Hong and plan this assassination without all parties noticing, which may also include the participation of the main battle faction of the Song State, and even the beggar gang disciples to deal with it, his shot at the birthday banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely fall into the eyes of these people, and it is better to keep a low profile in the recent period, the undercurrent of the Lin'an Imperial City is turbulent, and he does not have a large number of personnel available in his hands, so he can only wait for the opportunity.

Shi Miyuan was not satisfied with such a result, he and the crown prince Zhao Hong had a deep grudge, and only by completely defeating the opponent could he really feel at ease, so he united with hundreds of civil and military officials to present a concert, counting the crimes of the prince Zhao Hong, ranging from colluding with foreign enemies to assassinate important ministers of the imperial court, and as small as misbehaving and insulting the dignity of the royal family, there are no less than 100 articles.

Framing is the specialty of these literati, Yue Fei was framed by Qin Hui on "trumped-up" charges, Shi Miyuan is not far behind in this regard, although the emperor Zhao Kuo knows in his heart that these crimes are not true, but the prince Zhao Hong colluded with the Mongols to assassinate the important ministers of the court, which is a big crime.

A month later, the emperor of the Song State Zhao Kuan issued a decree to abolish the crown prince Zhao Hong, named the king of Ji, and lived in seclusion in the palace, at this time it was just a year after Zhao Hong became the prince of the Song State, and in the birthday banquet to save the Prime Minister, His Royal Highness Zhao Guicheng became the new prince of the Song State under the strong recommendation of Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang, and was named Zhao Yun.

Yang Kang moved from the Yi Palace's Mansion to the East Palace Prince's Mansion and became the heir to the throne of the Song Kingdom, but he knew that this was just the beginning, and the next step was the real test, just like when he was the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, living in the spotlight, being watched by countless people, and if he was not careful, he would fall into a place of no return.

In front of Emperor Zhao Kuo, he served wholeheartedly, in front of Empress Yang, he bent his will, and in front of Shi Miyuan, he was submissive......

His Royal Highness, the new crown prince of the Song Kingdom, is constantly honing his acting skills and striving to enter the ranks of the acting school, he will often ask Xie Daoqing to observe him and put forward more suggestions for improvement, Murong Yan's new mask has also been completed, and a new crown prince of the Song Kingdom is about to make his debut.

However, what Yang Kang didn't expect was that those Mongols actually contacted him through the ministers of the Song State's main battle faction, these Mongols were the cowardly warriors sent by Wokotai to the Central Plains to find the Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, and their task at this time was to support the crown prince of the Song State to deal with Shi Miyuan, and to sow discord between the Song State and the Jin State, since Zhao Hong had been deposed, then they set their eyes on the new crown prince Zhao Yun, and the interesting thing was that the Mongols did not know that the new crown prince of the Song State was the Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom that they were looking for。

In the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, our Emperor Xià showed a sinister smile. (To be continued......)
