Chapter 568 Manipulating Changes, Golden Cicada Shelling

In April of the ninth year of Yuanqing, Jinyangjing's two major cases of dance and Gusi's ignorance led to the two major families of Guo Qi Kong and Chen's failure. Zhongshu concluded that the incident was banned from a private residence for inspection. Chen Gusi has been dismissed from his post and is waiting for trial and imprisoned. Even civilians in the city, they also feel the tension between the prince and Prince Qing, let alone Both parties.

The weather is getting warm, but the atmosphere in Kyoto is festive and peaceful. The spring banquets in various prefectures are cancelled silently. The fresh and prosperous suburbs of Beijing are also rare and fragrant cars BMWs, not to mention the capital is shrouded in an invisible haze. Everyone is worried and waiting for the thunderstorm brewing behind the bluewash. A sudden moment hit the wind and sun on the surface.

Although the fourth prince is angry, he already has the determination to break his wrist. He is bound to pull the prince off the horse, otherwise it will be difficult to recover the defeat.

He has moved his mind and is about to send a letter to Xiangxi to confirm the crime of the crown princes.

The fourth prince has not given up yet. Even if he compensates Chen Gusi and Chen Changshi's nephew, he and the Qin family and the party members behind the Chen family are still strong competition for the position, provided that the prince must be abolished.

Everything is according to the layout of the emperor, and the victory of the third prince is developing. Yu Wei silently pays attention to it and is a little sure.

Until I heard that the third prince would go to Jianchang and secretly met Yu Dong and Huang Tao!

The hidden uneasiness in Yu's heart seemed to be more and more real, but even if he had already covered his ears and eyes beside Yu Dong, he could not figure out what the third prince had said.

And Yu Dong, who had seen the third prince, seemed to become very excited. He stabbed his head in the Xishanwei, and even rarely went back to the general's mansion.

In particular, he often talks secretly with his close friends, and the atmosphere is very strange.

When the third prince left Beijing, the prince suddenly asked him to go to rest in the western suburbs because he was not feeling well.

At the same time, a famous troupe came from southern Zhejiang. Even if the atmosphere in Jinyang is very solemn because of political fighting, many noble women and dungrymen are still delighted to come to Beijing. Who made several famous actors in this troupe really popular and have been admired for a long time.

Those who are not at the center of the struggle have the intention to hold a meeting, and their reputation will be very popular for a while. They have appeared on the stage three times a day in Fangyi Hall for ten consecutive days, and it is said that they are full.

Even beautiful scenery got an invitation from Peng Lan and asked her to go to Fangyi Hall to listen to the play.

"From today on, except for the Duke of Wei, don't go out. Even if you go to the Duke of the State, you must also mobilization of your own soldiers to escort you." However, Yu Yu stopped the scene from going out.

Of course, the imperial concubine was surprised.

"Before His Royal Highness left, he had met his second uncle and Huang Tao privately." Yu Yuan frowned: "And this reputation meeting, you may not have a reflection. When the prince was assassinated in Zhuoying Garden, they were present."

Binjing was stunned.

The prince invited himself to Zhuoying Garden, and Yu Dong and Huang Tao were obviously ordered, that is to say...

"The third prince still wants to take the life of the prince!" Yijing took a deep breath.

"It should be so." Yu Yu's voice was heavy: "The holy intention is clear, and we can't intervene in this matter... I'm suspicious that it is not the same as that life. The third prince once destroyed Jiang's innocence and killed Huang Tao's dead, with the intention of warning and revenge. Huang Tao has long had two intentions, and the third prince must have insight."

"What on earth does he mean?" Yijing clenched his fist and secretly gritted his teeth. He secretly slandered that the evil would not stop, and the storage position would change. The emperor had made it clear that he wanted to pass on to him, but he was still...

Yu Yu looked at the beautiful scenery and seemed to stop talking, but finally held people in his arms: "It's hard to say. Anyway, you have to be careful about everything during this period. You'd better stick to the royal palace and don't go out."

And those who have doubts about the behavior of the third prince are far from being the only one. He went to the official road of Jianchang Mansion. Xue Dongchang rode the horse to catch up with the third prince and rode side by side with him, far away from a personal soldier.

"Your Highness, I really don't know. At present, you have won the victory. Why do you still want to assassinate the prince?"

The prince with a blue and black cloak on his shoulder slowed down his horse's hoofs slightly and looked at him, as if full of irony: "Is the victory in hand? Even if the Qin Xiang and the Chen family can be punished, Lao Si will not sit back and wait for death. The Qin family and the Chen family have been operating for many years, and there are countless party members. Even without them, it is not difficult for Lao Si to subdue them. Moreover, even I have no way to explore such a secret matter of the Holy Body, but Lao Si can have insight. The secret chess he has is not under my control.

The third prince smiled and said, "If you want to completely eradicate it, you can only let the prince die. At present, the prince and Lao Si have become a situation of water and fire. If the prince is stabbed at this time... Lao 400 can't argue, and the father will make up his mind that it is really peace of mind for me."

"If the Kong family, the Qin family and the Chen family are all eradicated, the Duke of Wei and the King of Chu will be more powerful in the future. Although they are loyal to me, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be loyal to me. If the prince and Lao Si die, the power behind them can be safely used by me to balance the power of the Su family and the king of Chu."

"But in case there is any difference... Huang Tao is cunning and unreliable." Xue Dongchang is still worried. Of course, everything will be fine if he can successfully frame the fourth prince, but if Huang Tao has two minds, the third prince will get into trouble and fail.

"That's why I took his eldest son with me." The third prince withdrew his eyes and his eyes were dark: "What's more, when I leave Beijing at this time, I also reserve a way for myself. In case something happens... at least I can protect myself."

How to protect yourself? Does the prince have to hide his name and live in the mountains to avoid disaster? Xue Dongchang became more and more suspicious.

"When you arrive in Jianchang, you will look forward to a good life placement. You must keep someone to take good care of her. Don't be negligent." The third prince said again, "Lao Si took poison for her, and the antidote can't be released in half a year. I have asked Miao Shima to match the antidote. You let her take it first."

Xue Dongchang was secretly unhappy, and the third prince was too obsessed. Qianpan looked similar to that one... The two side concubines and the third princes in the house ignored it. At such an emergency moment, they were still planning everywhere, and even afraid that she would be in danger and deliberately took her out of Jinyang. This is to wait for the dust to settle in the future. , and then take her back to Beijing to make a concubine directly?

You won't let a maidservant sit on the throne of queen!

But Xue Dongchang is loyal and naturally will not disobey the master's order and promise without hesitation.

At this time, in Prince Qing's Palace, the fourth prince was talking with Huang Tao, sweeping away the anger and impetuousness of these days, and regained his spirit and joy.

"Thanks to the second master this time, otherwise I will be trapped by the third brother." The fourth prince patted Huang Tao on the shoulder with a smile: "If the prince dies at this time, even if there is no evidence, I will bear the greatest suspicion and lose my holy heart. What's more, Lao San has already understood my plan and is waiting for me to enter the trap. As soon as the two Jinshi die, the queen can grasp my guilt and think that I am desperate. You can't assassinate the prince."

"Your Highness, you should also stop the plan to blame the prince and kill the mouth, and the Jianchang Mansion can't act rashly." Huang Tao finally came up with the overall plan of the third prince. Seeing that he would make great achievements, he could not tolerate any negligence.

"Of course, I have recovered the order." The fourth prince raised his eyebrows: "This time we protect the prince and let Yu Dong be arrested. He will inevitably confess to the third brother... Hu Shizhong's case can also fall on the third brother, saying that he fabricated and framed me. When this case is cleared, when the dance cover case comes out, the prince will be deposed. Who is my opponent?"

This is really dark!

The fourth prince became more and more excited, laughing for a few times, but suddenly he was cautious: "The second master has made great achievements this time, and I must remember it in my heart, but your eldest son may not be able to escape..."

Speaking of this, Huang Tao was also very sad. He gritted his teeth and showed loyalty: "For the great cause of the prince, he will die. He has told his son that it is best if he has a chance to get out. If there is no time... just treat it as loyal to the new king."

"Lord Huang, don't worry, I will not forget your full achievements. In the future... I will allow you to wait for the throne first."

Huang Tao left. After returning home, he saw his wife Jiang sitting on the kang, holding the clothes his eldest son wore when he was a child, and his heart was an angina ache.

Since that happened, Jiang's family finally calmed down under his gentle words and comfort. Unexpectedly, the ugly thing has always been like a nightmare. Even if the women in the city treat Jiang family, they still refer to pointing out and talking behind their backs, not to mention the occasional noble women meeting Jiang on the road, which is even more direct and sarcastic to her.

Jiang's faceless, stuck at home, and his temperament becomes more and more self-yi

He is busy with business and can't find much time to appease his wife.

Since the removal of the clan, the eldest daughter-in-law insisted on divorce, and the marriage of the three sons is difficult. Huang Tao is unwilling to let his son marry ordinary people, so he has been delaying, waiting for the salted fish to turn over and marry a famous lady for his son in the future.

Only Jiang is in the back house, and he is more and more lonely.

This time, the eldest son was in danger, and Jiang felt even more sad. People became more confused and ignorant, and sometimes even he didn't recognize him.

This is all thanks to the three princes! Therefore, even if he wanted to take the life of the eldest son, Huang Tao would not allow the third prince to succeed and ascend the throne.

And he finally understood why the third prince had to use Yu Dong with him.

It turned out that there had been a plan to assassinate the prince, but they had to use them to make things go well and let the third prince completely stay out of the matter.

Not to mention Yu Dong, only he can persuade Kong Jun to persuade him to invite him to go to the garden - the reason is very high-sounding. The more he is in such a storm, the more the prince has to show no nervousness and innocence. He left the East Palace, with only more than a dozen soldiers and one or two cronies to accompany him, and put himself in Under the supervision of the emperor, he cut off contact with the Confucius family, and Kong Jun, a subordinate official, also "banned" with the prince. Even if Kong Zhi is still difficult to abish his crime in the future, he can save Kong Jun and retain the momentum of the Kong family to the greatest extent.

In this case, because the prince wants to show relaxation, the reputation of the famous grand master who came to Kyoto for the first time will be invited to sing in the palace as a pastime.

Over the years, the prince has been ridiculous, addicted to sex, drunk and dreaming to death. If he changes the past because of the dance case, he will be cautious and will make the emperor more suspicious.

More importantly, the third prince had been told in the early years to recommend several cronies to Kong Jun and cultivate them into prince's own soldiers. These people were actually ordered by Huang Tao.

Therefore, in order to protect everything, it is not impossible for Huang Tao to let the prince die in Zhuoyuan and die in the hands of the famous actor whose actual identity is the "Beiyuan spy".

There is a reputation in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Tao's own soldiers are in the dark, and the prince has no way to live.

And Kong Jun will also be killed on the spot, including the other soldiers.

The charge of participating in the assassination of the prince will fall on the murdered soldiers. Of course, they can't be detected by whom they are instructed.

People will have a reputation as a dead man and will not keep their mouth alive.

Of course, Zhuoying Garden is a royal palace, in which there are more than 100 palace guards. With only three or two personal soldiers and more than ten famous assassins in Huang Tao's hand, it is not enough to kill the prince, so it is necessary to transfer the palace guards first in an emergency so that they cannot escape to protect the prince.

This is inseparable from Yu Dong's participation.

Huang Tao has discussed with the fourth prince that in order to prove that the third prince is the chief envoy behind him, he must catch Yu Dong.

As for Yu Dong knowing that Huang Tao was a crony of the third prince, it was empty and fearless.

Because Huang Tao will become the hero of the prince's escape this time, how can the emperor believe Yu Dong's "cunning"?

In late April, the emperor finally allowed the prince to go to Zhuoying Garden to rest. The crown prince Kong Jun accompanied him, and Huang Tao, as Kong Jun's staff, was also invited by the prince to go with him.

After Yu Wei got the news, he said to Yijing that night, "It's not the same as that life. Huang Tao did not go to Zhuoying Garden, but went with his brother-in-law... This time, with Huang Tao, the prince's life is unimped."

It's very simple. If Huang Tao is not loyal to the third prince, he will definitely not compensate himself into the Zhuoyuan Garden. As soon as the prince dies, it will be difficult for him to escape the suspicion. Since he has gone, he will definitely keep the prince safe.

"The third prince..." Yijing felt very headache. If the fourth prince ascended the throne, Huang Tao became a meritorious minister, which was even more unfavorable in the palace of the King of Chu and the Duke of Wei. Up to now, Yijing is even more convinced that when the eldest brother was assassinated by the prince to Zhuoyin Garden, it must have been arranged behind Huang Tao. While assassinating the prince, he did not let go of his eldest brother.

In those years, the third prince had to rely on the help of the Duke of Wei and should not harm the eldest brother, but obviously he would not stop Huang Tao for the eldest brother, but adopted an indulgent attitude.

Yi Jing thought of this and couldn't help gritting her teeth secretly, but in the current situation, it was obviously not wise to be the enemy of the third prince.

"If that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. What I'm worried about is the third prince... he won't go back to Kyoto." Yu Yu said in a low voice.
