Now it can pose a threat to the three princes, that is, out of the capital to become a vassal, as long as the three princes leave the capital, they basically lose the possibility of inheriting the throne, even if they have spare strength in the capital, but the mountains and rivers are far away, and they are beyond the reach of the whip.

Zhao Wangji's temper was the most irritable, he stood up directly, and arched his hand to His Royal Highness the Prince: "Big brother, we are all siblings, no one will harm you behind your back, the younger brother wants to ask the eldest brother, is it true that the document posted in Yongle Fang last night?" ”

This sentence will offend people.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face turned red, and he said angrily: "It's all made up and slandered!" ”

"That's good."

His Royal Highness King Zhao's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The younger brother is still in the position of the secretary of the criminal department, the eldest brother is now holding the seal and ascending to the palace, please ask the eldest brother to give a will, and the younger brother immediately took the criminal department to investigate this matter clearly, no matter who is behind the trouble, he can't escape the prison of the criminal department!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glared at the third prince angrily and did not answer.

The most important thing now is to reduce influence, not to make things bigger, if the criminal department investigates it with great fanfare, those black histories will be picked up, and it will make this matter out of control.

Prime Minister Zhang Qu stood up and arched his hand at the third prince: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, now is an important period for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country, it is better not to make this matter big, and turn the big thing into a small one, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the prince." ”

Ji Zhong frowned, and said with some doubts: "If what is written on those documents is false, and this matter is picketed and understood, you can return the eldest brother's innocence, how can it be to tarnish the reputation of the eldest brother?" ”

Zhang Xiang coughed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

This third prince, if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, is an extremely upright person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qu glanced at the two princes again, and secretly sighed in his heart.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons are different...

This Zhang Xiang took a deep breath and continued: "The prince invited you princes to come today, not to investigate this matter, but to discuss it with you. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qu paused and continued: "This matter ends here, okay? ”

The fourth prince stood up and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiang is polite, you are a veteran of the two dynasties, and I and other juniors naturally want to listen to what you say, but this matter has nothing to do with my Qi Palace, Zhang Xiang should discuss it with Lao Qi." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei stood up angrily.

"Fourth brother, do you want to push me after you do something?"

The two princes refused to give in to each other, and they were about to quarrel in the East Palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held back his anger, slapped the table and said: "My father has become seriously ill like this, and he has been working hard with several prime ministers for the past two months, trying to maintain the foundation passed down from his ancestors, and you are also the descendants of the Ji family. ”

This hat is too big.

His Royal Highness King Qi's complexion remained unchanged, and he bowed his head and said, "What the eldest brother taught is that these people who spread rumors behind their backs are really hateful. ”

King Wei's face was ugly, and he arched his hand to the prince and said: "Eldest brother, the younger brother also wants to do things for the country, my father ordered me to supply medicinal wine to the army, and the younger brother spent a lot of money to sell Zhurong wine to the military department. ”

The prince was unhappy.

"Winemaking is a food-consuming move, and my Dajin has always discouraged folk winemaking, so how can the royal family take the lead in disobeying it? Besides, drinking alcohol is already forbidden in the army, Lao Qi, you are also past the age of fooling around. ”

His Royal Highness King Wei snorted, but he couldn't help but continue to speak.

Zhang Qu saw that several of them were born safely, and said with a smile: "You are all Your Majesty's dragon sons, and you are also siblings...... is still watching in Changle Palace, his old man will inevitably be sad when he sees it, if the princes still sell the old man a thin noodle, this matter will end here, okay? ”

Shangshu Province's right servant Chen Fang was also present at this time, this right minister was relatively younger, he bowed his head and said: "The court situation in the capital should not be chaotic anymore, the matter of Yongle Fang yesterday can no longer be investigated, but it must not spread to other Fang." ”

At this time, only the brain will be pumped will admit it.

The three princes all shook their heads again and again, resolutely refusing to admit that they had done it.

Haoran Gong could only shake his head helplessly, and said to the prince: "Your Highness, it seems that this matter was not done by a few princes, so let's just give Dali Temple a document and let Dali Temple send someone to investigate, don't make a noise." ”

With Zhang Qu's connections in the government and the opposition, he could come up with evidence in a minute and find out the Qi Wangfu behind the scenes, but he didn't do it, he just went through the motions, and it was obvious that he was perfunctory to the prince.

His Royal Highness the chubby prince frowned and thought for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "Then let's do it, arrest those who spread rumors, and investigate them fiercely!" ”

This matter has no one in the court, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the title of a prince, but there is no one available under him, and if something happens to the court, he can only rely on Zhang Qu, the prime minister.

Once Zhang Qu and the others are unwilling to help him, he can be said to have no room to fight back.

After saluting the prime ministers, several princes withdrew from the East Palace one after another.

His Royal Highness Zhao was not good, glanced at the two brothers, snorted coldly, and left with his hands.

His Royal Highness King Wei turned around and went in the direction of Changle Palace.

King Qi looked at the direction where King Wei had gone, and secretly sneered in his heart.

At this time, I still want to go to the sycophant, my father doesn't even see the prince, how can I meet you?

Thinking of this, he glanced back at the East Palace again, his eyes blazing.

At this time, His Royal Highness King Wei had already entered the harem, and after walking for half an hour, he came to the gate of Changle Palace.

He arched his hand to the guards at the gate of Changle Palace and said, "I'm tired of reporting, just say that I came to ask to see Your Majesty." ”

The guard nodded hurriedly and walked into the Changle Palace, and not long after, he walked out and shook his head at His Royal Highness the King of Wei.

His Royal Highness King Wei sighed and asked, "Father, is he okay?" ”

The guard still shook his head, meaning he didn't know, or couldn't say.

The Seventh Prince nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

During this time, he listened to Li Xin's suggestion, and when he had time, he would go to the palace and come to the gate of Changle Palace to visit the Son of Heaven in Chengde, but unfortunately, the Son of Heaven never saw him once.

But it doesn't matter.

As Li Xin said, the most important thing is to let the Son of Heaven know that he, King Wei, has come.

He hadn't taken a few steps back when a voice came from behind him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei stays."

The Seventh Prince stopped, glanced back, and hurriedly said, "Grand Duke, how is my father?" ”

Chen Ju walked down step by step from the steps at the entrance of Changle Palace, bowed to King Wei, and then asked: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is still in good health, Your Majesty wants the old slave to ask you, you have come to Changle Palace so many times, what is the matter?" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei looked gloomy, bowed his head and said, "As a son of man, I just want to come and see my father." ”

His eyes were red.

"My father has more than a dozen sons, and now they are sick in bed, and they shouldn't be visited."
