In the palace, Xu Zhao's cronies are innumerable, and seeing Princess Luoyang so ugly, a secret guard knocked Princess Luoyang unconscious, and ordered the palace maid to carry Princess Luoyang back to Luoyang Palace.

The good things between Xu Zhiyuan and Princess Luoyang are well known in the palace, although Princess Luoyang keeps saying that Xu Zhiyuan insulted her, who knows if there is a little conflict between the two of them? At this moment, if someone arrests Xu Zhiyuan as a sinner in order to curry favor with Princess Luoyang, what if the two of them reconcile tomorrow? Besides, King Qin is obviously a colt in the future, what can he do if he catches it? Kill the King of Qin, and Princess Luoyang will become a widow! The emperor will not kill the king of Qin, and let his daughter be widowed for the rest of his life, which is human nature.

After running out of the palace, Xu Zhiyuan knew that he could no longer stay in Jinling, and told Su Rui to escape immediately.

With the guards under the Xiao family, Xu Zhiyuan's first thought was to flee to Lingyun Pass, and suddenly remembered that General Sun had been transferred, so he had to disguise himself and prepare to go to Hexi District, intending to find General Sun for shelter again. I just don't know if General Sun is willing to shelter Xu Zhiyuan?

Princess Luoyang woke up in the middle of the night, feeling shameless, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she wanted to write down Xu Zhilan's viciousness and Xu Zhiyuan's black heart, and then she found that writing nothing was right! announced that Xu Zhilan is not the real prince, so why did Xu Zhilan get the position of prince? To explain this, you have to say that you have promised to Xu Zhilan, since you have promised to Xu Zhilan, and the things that you are now happy with Xu Zhilan have made the city full of storms, everyone will point the finger at him first, because she does not abide by the woman's way first, and Xu Zhilan takes revenge later; If you can't write bad words about Xu Zhilan, you can't write Xu Zhiyuan! If the matter of Xu's study is written as the poison of the incense, it becomes a good thing to follow Xu Zhiyuan in the case of being lost, if she Luoyang Princess is a person who is a chaste martyr, she should have worked hard with Xu Zhiyuan a long time ago, instead of living with Xu Zhiyuan semi-openly After a few days, she thought of adulterism without a match, and it was a little difficult to see people and commit suicide! Thinking about it, only by not writing anything can kill Xu Zhiyuan, because during the day, the eunuchs and palace maids of Luoyang Palace saw her chasing and killing Xu Zhiyuan, no matter what conflicts had happened between the two, in short, Princess Luoyang took a sword and killed herself in the middle of the night after a conflict with Xu Zhiyuan.

The emperor is not in Jinling, the prince is not in Jinling, and Prime Minister Jian, who has the largest official rank, was asked to deal with the aftermath in the middle of the night.

In the case of a murder, the first thing to do is, of course, to investigate the cause of Princess Luoyang's suicide, and the palace maid searched for the letter written by Yelu Jiu in Princess Luoyang's room.

After Prime Minister Jian took it over and saw it, he had a preconceived idea that this was Xu Zhiyuan and Princess Luoyang jointly dealing with Xu Zhilan, Xu Zhilan was forced to make a choice, first pretending to be the prince, and then forcing Xu Zhiyuan and Princess Luoyang to death.

The question is, figured it out, but what next? Prime Minister Jian felt that when Zhao Shangshu made this move, there was a selfish element in it, but it could not be said that it was all selfish, because the three people present at the time all felt that the emperor loved Xu Zhilan infinitely, and he cultivated Xu Zhilan as a future colt and successor. No matter how accurate everyone was in trying to figure out the holy will, but at this moment, if something goes wrong, this mistake has to be borne by the person who broke the emperor's mind.

Prime Minister Jian ordered the secret not to mourn, hurriedly left the palace, and ordered the eunuch to stop people by the Luoma Bridge, and told the ministers who came to the court that Princess Luoyang was unwell today, and there was no need to go to the court with a temporary notice.

Zhao Shangshu and Chen Shangshu hadn't gotten up yet, and when they heard the news that Prime Minister Jian had 100,000 urgent matters to discuss, they asked them to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they didn't dare to slack off.

These top ministers all lived relatively close, and the distance was not much different, and the two adults, Zhao and Chen, arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time.

Zhao Shangshu and Chen Shangshu saw that each other was also coming, and asked at the same time: "Brother Zhao (Chen), do you know that Jian Lao invited, what is the matter?" ”

As soon as they heard that the other party didn't know, the hearts of the two adults became even more panicked, and under the guidance of the Prime Minister's subordinates, they quickly came to Prime Minister Jian's study.

When Prime Minister Jian saw the arrival of the two adults, he didn't wait for the other party to speak, and said anxiously: "Two adults, something has happened, Princess Luoyang killed herself." ”

When the two adults heard Princess Luoyang kill herself, they were surprised, and they didn't have time to think about it, so Prime Minister Jian continued: "The prince married Princess Luoyang to Yelu Zi of the Yelu clan of Jingyang Kingdom, Princess Luoyang...... Hence self-deprecation. ”

As soon as Zhao Shangshu heard that Princess Luoyang was killing herself because of this, his eyes were black, and he was almost about to fall to the ground, but this bad idea was the first thing he proposed!

If you don't come up with this bad idea, although the three adults are also in danger, but the danger is not so great, at most, it is the King of Qin who is in power, and the three families, old and young, will collectively resign and do not do it, and it is impossible for the King of Qin to kill all three families. Moreover, the king of Qin did not necessarily gain power. But now, killing Princess Luoyang forced Xu Zhilan to admit that he was the prince...... You can imagine how much the emperor hates the three adults in his heart!

The tone has been set in favor of Xu Zhilan, now is it time to consider how to make this matter more beneficial to Xu Zhilan?

With a dark heart, Prime Minister Jian summoned all the ministers to the Prime Minister's Mansion after dawn and said to everyone: "Colleagues, recently, everyone must have heard of the matter between Princess Luoyang and King Qin, right?" ”

The two scholars of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, not to mention Prime Minister Jian Cheng, who is very close to the prince, at least want to be friendly with Jian Cheng, which is very urgent.

Mao Shangshu of the household department said with a smile: "Lord Jane, don't say that everyone here knows about this matter, I'm afraid that the women and children in Jinling have heard about it, right?" I don't know why Lord Jian summoned everyone to come here today and suddenly mentioned this matter? ”

Ye Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette engaged in etiquette and said: "King Qin is really right, this kind of thing is a bit ...... Lord Jian summoned everyone to come, and I am afraid that he wanted to ask King Qin and Princess Luoyang to announce the good news, so as not to let the people talk nonsense and hurt the royal face, right? It's just that the emperor and the crown prince have not returned, and Princess Luoyang and King Qin announced their marriage by themselves, which doesn't seem to be in line with the etiquette law. ”

When the ministers nodded in agreement, Prime Minister Jian coughed and said: "The prince married the county lord of Jingyang Guotuoya, and no one in Dahua knows about this matter, and no one knows about it. A few days ago, the crown prince designed to support Princess Mei's brother to be a khan, but Gonggong Guo indirectly killed Princess Mei's brother! ”

The death of the eighth prince, before Xu Zhilan went to Lingyun Pass, in order to deceive Xu Zhiyuan, few people knew, and when he suddenly heard the news, the ministers talked about it.

Prime Minister Jian pressed his hand and said, "Princess Mei also knows that the prince didn't want to kill anyone, but something has happened, what can I do about it?" In order to avoid war, the prince is ready to relax the trading restrictions of Lingyun Pass as much as possible, and everyone knows it. But the crown prince killed the four princes of Jingyang at once, and the Iron Cavalry Khan didn't want to fight anymore, so he had to fight for the sake of face, right? ”
