The news that the Son of Chengde was seriously ill and fainted was controlled in the palace to the greatest extent, for which Chen Ju also killed more than a dozen palace people who wanted to spread the news out of the palace.

There are only five Zaifu in the capital who know the details, and the others can only guess like Li Xin, relying on some clues.

After this incident, the capital fell into an eerie silence again, and the imperial court continued to operate as usual under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the five Zaifu, as if nothing had happened.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei entered the palace to ask to see His Majesty, but he was also stopped and failed to see the Son of Chengde.

After Li Xin came back from Chen Guogong's mansion, he began to commute to work in Yulinwei normally, and occasionally went to Hou Jingde's room to discuss some things with the big man with the black face.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

It's snowing in Jinling City.

At this time, there is still a month before entering the wax moon, but the snowflakes are already the size of goose feathers, and from morning to evening, they dye the capital a snow-white.

In this kind of snowy night, it stands to reason that you should hide in the small red mud stove at home and cook a few glasses of wine to be comfortable, but most people in this world will always have no fate with the word comfortable.

The figure was dressed in gray, and he was not very conspicuous in the snow, and he staggered through the Yongle Fang, leaving footprints that were quickly erased by snowflakes every time he walked through a place.

Finally, he arrived at the gate of the Qi Palace, knocking on the side door of the palace.

The side door opened, someone came out and welcomed him in, and went around to the backyard of the Qi Palace.

The Qi Wangfu was built earlier than the Wei Wangfu, although the area is not as large as the Wei Wangfu, but the courtyard is full of corridors and pavilions, and the design is very exquisite.

Once the Son of Chengde came to the palace of King Qi and praised the exquisiteness of this house.

This gray-clothed man who braved the snowy night to rush to the Qi Palace, finally met the current Four Princes, His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the study of the Qi Palace.

His Royal Highness King Qi is not very tall, and at this time, he is wearing a pure black coat and sitting quietly on the main seat of the study.

He was not the only one in the study, but there were seven or eight other doormen.

His Royal Highness King Wei usually loves to make friends, and when he meets talented and knowledgeable, he will think of inviting him to his home as a guest, and when he chats, he will take him as a guest at home and use it as a staff member.

He has been out of the palace for nine years, and there are two or three hundred guests in the palace of the King of Qi, and now the people gathered in the study are the best among these guests, and they are also a few henchmen of the four princes.

The gray-clothed man shook the snow off his body at the door of the study, took a deep breath, stepped in, and then knelt on the ground respectfully: "Your Highness, the news from the palace has come out." ”

His Royal Highness King Qi was originally talking to the doorman, but when he heard this, he immediately looked at the gray-clothed man and said, "Hand it over." ”

The man in gray groped out a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve, and two lines of inconspicuous handwriting were written on the silk cloth.

Before His Royal Highness King Qi took the cloth, he frowned and said, "Why is it so dirty?" ”

The gray-clothed man smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, in order to spread the news, our people in the palace beat more than a dozen of them to death for Gonggong Chen, and this piece of cloth was handed over by them desperately, it is inevitable that it will ...... Inevitably there will be some blood stains......"

The fourth prince nodded, stretched out two fingers, pinched the cloth, and then placed it on the table and opened it.

After barely distinguishing the handwriting on the cloth, His Royal Highness King Qi breathed rapidly, he took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone, as this king expected a few days ago, there is indeed an accident in the palace......

His Royal Highness King Qi squinted his eyes and said, "Father, his injuries worsened, and he fainted a few days ago, and it took him half a day to save him. ”

A scholar who looked to be only in his twenties, extremely thin, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Highness, there are two such things as the disease, Your Majesty's big trip is not far away, we have to be prepared." ”

The other staff member was an old man in his forties and fifties, who was a little fat, and he said in a loud voice: "If it weren't for the intervention of that Li Xin of Yulinwei last month, most of the crown prince would have been abolished at this time, and we wouldn't need to do it again." ”

His Royal Highness King Qi's face was a little ugly.

After the matter of the Wang family came out, the four princes did send someone to kill Wang Anmin's family, and then planted it on the prince's head, so that most of the princes had been deposed because of his immorality, but I don't know why, when the assassins of the Qi palace were sent out, they were blocked.

More than a dozen elite assassins have gone and never returned.

Fortunately, these assassins were all four dead soldiers, and they didn't say half a word about the Qi Palace.

This incident made the fourth prince anxious for more than a month, he was afraid that it was his father Chengde Tianzi who sent someone to protect the Wang family, but fortunately, more than a month passed, and no one from the court came to look for him, so he gradually put this matter in his mind.

"The affairs of the Wang family have passed, and no one should mention it again."

The prince's face was solemn: "It's almost time now, it's time for us to do it, Yao Weng, are things ready?" ”

Called "Yao Weng" by the four princes, it is the slightly chubby old man, this person's name is Yao Hu, he is a show of talent, he failed to take the examination in the early years, and can only teach at home for a living, but this person is very heavy-minded, nine years ago, when the Qi Wangfu was just opened, when he recruited talents, he volunteered to meet the four princes, and in a blink of an eye for nine years, he has become the absolute henchman of the Qi Palace.

"It's ready."

Yao Hu took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve, lowered his head and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indulged in lust over the years, but he has done a lot of wrongs. ”

After the eldest prince left the palace and opened the palace, he gave up the succession to the throne and spent all day drinking, and he was lustful, and he really did a lot of evil things for women.

And the kind that is not hidden.

First, because he is a nobleman, even if the matter is reported to Jingzhao Mansion, or even to the Criminal Department, no one dares to pay attention to it, and there is no need to cover it up.

The second reason is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought that he had no hope of ascending to the throne back then, and he was a little disheartened, and he didn't bother to cover up these things.

Originally, as a clan, even if he was a traitor, he would not be punished much, and even if the matter was big, at most, he would be ordered by the emperor to apply for a few words and be punished for a few years, and it was impossible to convict him.

But the crown prince is different.

As the crown prince, you have committed a lot of crimes before you ascended the throne, if you become the son of heaven, then you can pay it back?

His Royal Highness King Qi took a deep breath and said: "Send these things to the hands of those imperial histories in the Yushitai, after the last incident of Wang Anmin, most of the imperial histories in the Yushitai who were imprisoned are still angry in their hearts. ”

"Let them go to the book to participate in the prince's immorality."

Up and down the court, all the yamen may be afraid of retaliation after the prince ascends the throne, but the people who are alone in the history of the emperor will not, these officials like to be loyal and straightforward, and some of the older ones are even not afraid of death, because they know that as long as they die, they will easily leave their names in history.

Yao Hu lowered his head and smiled: "I'll do it next." ”

The fourth prince turned his head to look at the thin young man again.

"Wenhe, you take someone to copy a few more copies of these things, and when the time comes, send someone to post them on the street of Yongle Fang."

Speaking of this, the fourth prince smiled coldly.

"This trick is still the king's of the Li Xin Church."
