The prime minister is the head of the civil officials, and each of the five prime ministers has a large number of their own forces in the court, especially the prime ministers like Zhang Qu and Huan Chu, who have been for many years, and their protégés and former officials are all over the court and the opposition.

If they are willing to help the prince, no matter what movement there is in the court, they can be forced to suppress it by virtue of their connections.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been recognized by the two prime ministers, and neither of them will help the East Palace.

So, when the whole Yongle Fang was plastered with big-character posters the next day, the matter broke out.

The people living in Yongle Fang are all high-ranking officials and nobles, these people are the upper circle of the capital, and almost represent more than eighty percent of the forces in the capital.

The outbreak of public opinion in Yongle Fang is essentially no different from the outbreak of public opinion in the entire capital.

However, the people in Yongle Fang, either rich or expensive, when they see these big-character posters, they will not be as noisy as ordinary people, most of them are thrown aside after reading them, and a small number of people will take down a big-character poster and leave it quietly.

But even if the people in Yongle Fang didn't speak, the prince's evil deeds would eventually spread.

Before dawn, Li Xin, who was in Datongfang, received the news that the people from the Wei Wangfu sent him a big-character poster, and after Li Xin read it, he immediately set off for Yongle Fang.

In the palace of King Wei, His Royal Highness the King of Wei was holding a big-character poster and watching it repeatedly, and after seeing Li Xin walk in, he stood up and smiled at Li Xin: "Brother Xin, the fourth brother learned this trick from you." ”

Li Xin hugged his fists at the Seventh Prince, and a smile appeared on his face: "This trick is more powerful than me, I only hurt the fur of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion at best, but the Four Princes used this trick, but it hit the key point of the prince." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at this big-character poster with sharp words, shook his head and said: "Today is Yongle Fang, tomorrow it may be Mingde Fang and Willow Fang, as long as it takes two or three days, the notoriety of the prince will spread all over the capital." ”

When human beings gossip, they always like to hear bad things, but they don't like to hear good things, take the news of later generations as an example, the news of a certain harvest has never been cared about, but how many women have been raised by a certain high-ranking official, how many evil things have been done, and how much money he has been greedy for can attract widespread attention.

It's the same with this matter, at most a day or two, the whole capital will be talking about it.

The Seventh Prince squinted his eyes and smiled: "The most important thing is that everything written on this should be true, otherwise the fourth brother would not be so conclusive." ”

Li Xin took a deep breath, turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial city, and smiled: "With the ability of the crown prince, if Your Majesty doesn't make another move this time, he still can't deal with it, and after a while, his reputation will be completely stinky, and the court will write to persuade His Majesty to change the store." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin frowned slightly: "The problem is that the behavior of the four princes is a little weird. ”

His Royal Highness King Wei was originally quite happy, but when he heard this, he looked up at Li Xin.

"What's weird?"

Li Xin said in a low voice: "According to reason, even if the crown prince is abolished, the position of the East Palace may not be able to fall to the head of the four princes, in terms of the eldest system, there are three princes in front of him, in terms of ability, His Royal Highness will not lose to him, why is he so anxious to pull the prince down like this, it seems to be ......"

"It's as if after the crown prince, His Majesty will definitely appoint him."

Li Xin frowned and said: "From this point of view, the fourth prince must have something we don't know to rely on, so he will be so desperate against the crown prince." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei also frowned.

"That's probably one or more of the prime ministers who fell to the fourth brother."

Li Xin has all understood the five prime ministers in the court, and when he heard the seven princes say this, he also nodded slowly: "Most of them are like this, there are a total of five prime ministers in the court, if the crown prince is deposed, and three of the five prime ministers support the four princes, then his chances will be much greater." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin said in a deep voice: "But this kind of thing depends on where Your Majesty's holy will is, and the prime ministers can't influence Your Majesty's thoughts." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Li Xin and asked, "Is there any news over there in the Chen Guogong Mansion?" ”

After Li Xin went to Ye's house, it has been two or three days until today, and Ye Sheng, the Duke of Chen Guogong, said that he would consider it, but until now, he has not given a specific answer.

Speaking of the Ye family, Li Xin smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to wait for the Ye family to reply, as long as the Ye family does not withdraw from Yu Linwei, it will basically fall to us by default, and now that three days have passed, Ye Lan is still the middle general of Yu Linwei, Your Highness can relax your mind." ”

"Now, the most important thing is whether this court fight can successfully abolish the prince."

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "Several prime ministers, His Royal Highness can also let people go to find out. ”

When the two of them were discussing countermeasures, a subordinate of the Wei Palace's mansion suddenly walked in with a low body, bowed to the Seventh Prince and said, "Your Highness, someone has come to the palace, I want to invite you into the palace." ”

The Seventh Prince frowned: "It's going to the East Palace." ”

The subordinate nodded: "It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who invited you into the palace to discuss matters, and the father-in-law in the palace was waiting in the front hall." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei nodded indifferently, waved his hand and said, "Let him wait." ”

If it was summoned by the Son of Heaven in Chengde, the Seventh Prince would naturally have to enter the palace non-stop at this time, but if it was an order from the East Palace, there would be no need to be so nervous.

The subordinate nodded: "The villain knows." ”

After the man retreated, Li Xin smiled and said, "The prince is panicking. ”

"It's to panic."

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled: "If this matter is put on my head, I will also panic, let alone the eldest brother." ”

Li Xin suddenly thought of something, and said, "Your Highness, do you have a similar handle......

If His Royal Highness King Wei also has a similar handle, then he must take advantage of this time to dispose of it as soon as possible, or hide the evidence, or appease the bitter master, and cannot give others such an opportunity in the future.

His Royal Highness King Wei said with a smile: "Where can I have such a lustful eldest brother, and I can't bear to kill people, in these years, the Wei Wangfu has not even had a side concubine, and I have just raised a few outer mansions outside..."

Speaking of the word outer house, His Royal Highness King Wei suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Li Xin: "Brother Xin, do you say that the proud building will become the handle of the fourth brother?" ”

Li Xinli frowned.

He knew very well that the Seventh Prince was not asking about the proud building at this time, and Cui Jiuniang.

Cui Jiuniang has followed the Seven Princes for so many years, and has worked hard to take care of the Proud Mansion for the Wei Palace, but now, the Seventh Prince is afraid that she will become a stain on himself.

This kind of person is too thin and cold.

Li Xinli sighed secretly, and then smiled: "As long as it's not an unconcealed thing like the prince, the proud building is hidden in the dark after all, we can tell the difference, besides, His Royal Highness is a prince, and it is a matter of course to raise a few outer houses, as long as you don't rob people and kill people like the prince, it is impossible to be fine." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei nodded: "That's the truth." ”

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair and smiled at Li Xin: "Brother Xin, sit here, I'll go to the palace to see what the situation is." ”

Li Xin also got up to say goodbye.

"I'm going to take a look at Yulinwei too, so I won't bother."
