must have fun

The newly-appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment held the wat board tightly in his hand, and said angrily: "The world is bright and bright, in broad daylight, someone dares to commit murder in the street and assassinate the emperor's relatives! It can be said to be audacious, ignoring the laws of the country. Fortunately, the nine kings are safe, but please order the emperor , Yunchen thoroughly investigates this matter, finds out the perpetrators, and punishes them severely!"

Lu Meng's dim eyes stared at Zhezi intently, expressionless.

Feng Huansen stood at the head of the officials, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that this matter was mostly related to the struggle for succession, so the most motivated people to attack the Nine Kings were none other than the Five Kings.

The Holy One is still there, unless the Five Kings intend to rebel, otherwise he will never attack his brother so blatantly.He thought of the fact that the Gyeonggi Guards found a large number of middle-aged people in the capital for no reason a few days ago.If the five kings really had this heart, they would have to guard against this matter.

After thinking about it in another direction, he felt that something was wrong... He decided to wait and see.

This is the valuable experience he has summed up from his more than ten years in the officialdom until he is now the prime minister.Who is the biggest in the world?Only the emperor above the dragon seat.As the prime minister, the power in his hands comes from the emperor's grace.There is nothing wrong with acting cautiously, not expressing your position in public, guessing the emperor's mind and following him.

Lu Meng closed the booklet and kowtowed twice on the desk. He didn't get angry or express any doubts. He just ordered the criminal department to investigate the matter and find the culprit within a time limit.

Although the assassination of the Nine Kings could not be concluded for the time being, the House of the Five Princes, which was the most suspected, suddenly became a place of public criticism. If it was fried on hot oil, it might be overturned by the emperor at any time.

The fifth king gritted his teeth angrily. During this period of time, his power in the court has been repeatedly suppressed by the nine kings' men and horses. In order to prevent his secret plan of waiting for opportunities from being discovered, he has been keeping quiet. Fenfen stayed in his palace without any action, where did he send someone to assassinate his brother?

"This matter must have been done by the Nine Kings himself, otherwise in this capital, who would have such courage? The Nine Kings' actions are really vicious, and they just want to frame Qiancheng in front of the Emperor!" The counselor was beside him, In a nutshell.

Although the five kings didn't express their position on his words, their clenched teeth undoubtedly showed that he agreed with this statement.

The counselor paid attention to the expression of the five kings, and took the opportunity to continue to say: "Thousands of horses galloped on the battlefield, half their lives as a soldier, have they ever suffered such grievances? Is it tolerable or unbearable! We should rise up and resist, lest the nine kings make progress and regard Qiancheng as nothing. Nothing!"

"How do you think this king should fight back?" the five kings said in a serious voice.

The counselor said dangerously: "Qiancheng, you know the emperor well. No matter what Qiancheng does now, it will be difficult to change the suspicion in the emperor's heart. Once the emperor loses confidence in Qiancheng, Qiancheng will be in danger. It is better not to do it endlessly..."

The five kings' round eyes like copper bells widened, as the counselor said, if his father really became suspicious, he would not be able to explain it even if he had a mouth.At that time, others will be swords and axes, and I will be fish and meat, and there will only be a chance to die.

The image of Lu Meng was too majestic in his heart when he was young. Even though time has passed and his father is old, he has his own wings, and there is still a trace of fear deep in his heart.

The counselor saw the nervousness of the five kings passing by, and when he saw the drama, he urged: "Forgive me for speaking boldly, the soldiers and horses that Qiancheng brought into the capital have now had enough rest, and the soldiers want to repay Qiancheng for them every day. His kindness can be described as a strong army and full-fledged wings. If Qian Cheng wants to, he can follow the example of Qin Wang Li Shimin and practice the Xuanwu Gate, so that the emperor can see Qian Cheng's hard work over the years."

"This…"

Before the five kings hesitated, the counselor added fuel to the fire: "Qiancheng has guarded the frontier for so many years, so that foreign enemies dare not invade. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. The position of the Eastern Palace should belong to Qiancheng. .”

The word 'Eastern Palace' he said has a profound meaning, and anyone who hears it will know what it means.The soldiers and horses in hand of the Five Kings have always been his confidence.If he really thought of rebelling against the emperor and seeking the throne, what is the position of the Eastern Palace?

The five kings snorted coldly in disdain, admitting that what he said was justified.

"Your Majesty was deceived by traitors, and has hesitated until now. If Qian Cheng didn't take the initiative to fight for it, I'm afraid the position of the East Palace should fall into someone else's pocket...

Seeing that the attitude of the five kings was slightly relaxed, the counselor immediately knelt down and begged: "The so-called opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. Please make a quick decision!"

The counselor analyzed the situation in front of the five kings clearly. On the one hand, those who gamble may succeed, and on the other hand, those who do not gamble will be slaughtered by others. It rained continuously outside the house, and the five kings were aroused and crushed under their hands. A wine glass suddenly got up from the couch, making people call their subordinates.

Just as he was putting on his armor and hanging the sword on his waist, a subordinate hurried in from the outside and reported: "Five Kings, Prince Shu has something for you."

The five kings, who had a guilty conscience, stiffened their arms holding the hilt of the sword, and quietly calmed down their excitement, saying: "What is it, bring it up and have a look."

After the subordinate obeyed, he quickly brought the things up.

Looking at the wooden sticks as thick as a woman's wrist and a bundle of gauze in the tray, the five kings were puzzled: "He... what does this mean?"

The counselor saw that his plan was only close to the door, and at this time, he was stabbed horizontally, and he was displeased, and whispered in the ear of the five kings: "There is nothing to show courteousness, it is either adultery or robbery. Shu's son-in-law refuted Qian Cheng's solicitation. The good intentions, and now you suddenly give Qiancheng a gift, could it be that you are riding the wind and mocking Qiancheng?"

While he was talking, he was also thinking about how to discredit these two items.

The five kings still had a sliver of reason in their minds, while pondering Shu Shen's intentions, they sat down again, the scales of the armor on their bodies overlapped, reflecting the faint yellow light from the nine palace lanterns.

"Thousand rides..."

"To shut up."

The counselor wanted to remind the five kings again of the preciousness of the opportunity, but was stopped by the five kings.

The counselor's complexion suddenly turned sour, and tonight's plan probably won't come true.

His pale-skinned fingers tapped on the handle of the armchair, bang bang bang bang, waiting for something.

A dark brown oil-paper umbrella bloomed in the rain, and then he walked non-stop to the deep courtyard of the Nine Princes Mansion. His road boots stepped on Danchi in three steps at a time, splashing some mud unavoidably in a hurry.

Not long after, the person he was waiting for arrived.

Xiao Daotong who ran in had hot sweat on his forehead, kowtowed and saluted, "Nine Kings, there is news from the Fifth Prince's Mansion."

The knocking on the handle stopped.

Xiao Daotong was uneasy, and reported back: "The news from the five princes' mansion said that the five princes were finally persuaded to seek rebellion, but..."

Xiao Daotong swallowed his saliva, not daring to delay, and continued, "Mr. Shu sent something to the five kings. For some reason, the five kings suddenly calmed down."

His master's original plan was to set up a series of tricks for the five kings.One is to let the five kings bear the responsibility of murdering their brothers, and his subordinates incite him to rebel, and the other is to let the censor inform the five kings of having an affair with a foreign country and bring troops into Beijing to plot wrongdoing. Looking for a way to die, I didn't expect to be hacked in this way.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the wind bells swayed and howled under the eaves.

"Prince Shu..." The person who spoke was as cold as a knife.

When it rains until the dawn breaks, it clears up, and the sun blooms in the east. The mist on the Taiye Pool is clear, and the smoke envelops the clouds and trees.

People who got up early in the morning found that the temperature had dropped a few points in vain, and hurried back to the house to rummage through thick clothes in preparation for the coming of winter.

A ray of sunlight revealed by the edge of the cloud was hitting the thick vermilion lacquer gate of the Meridian Gate, and all the officials were waiting in the square in front of the Golden Palace in neat and orderly clothes, waiting for the bell to ring.

Among this group of scarlet robes and black hats, there is an abrupt existence.The rare five kings appeared in the eyes of the ministers with a strange posture. His forehead was wrapped in thick gauze, bloodstains were faintly oozing from the gauze, his face was haggard, and his tall and strong body showed a look of wind blowing. It looks like it will fall down.

The minister who had something good to do came forward to ask about the situation. The five kings cried and said: "Last night, the king drank too much in the house and got drunk in the concubine Ji's room. Who knows that the concubine Ji was bribed by someone and wanted to buy the king When I died, in the middle of the night while I was drunk to death, I tried to strangle me to death with a rope. If I hadn’t woken up in time, I’m afraid this life would have ended.”

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but when he said it, everyone's attention was on his neck, there was indeed a faint strangle mark left by the rope.

The fifth king touched the wound on his forehead again, and immediately grinned his teeth in pain, and said, "The wound on this head was caused by this king's accidental knock against the pillar when he was resisting. This king is coming to the court today, and he wants to ask his father for help." Seek justice!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, each with their own thoughts.A few days ago, the Nine Kings were assassinated, and today the Five Kings were in danger again. Who can tell whether it is true or not?

Shu Dianhe has always disliked excitement, so he was standing on the edge of the hundred officials. When he heard the movement from the Five Kings, he glanced over and then looked away lightly.

After waiting for a long time to see the door open, people who cared about the five kings kept coming. It didn't take long for all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty to hear about the five kings who almost died in the concubine's room last night.

What he said was true, and the injury on his head was real. Many ministers who didn't believe him at first were touched by him and began to comfort him.

The five kings were delighted to see such a situation. Whether his father believed it or not, he first pretended to be pitiful in the hearts of all the officials. When his father really wanted to suspect that he was hurting his siblings behind his back, someone would stand up for him. He speaks.

Turning his back, I don't know who suddenly said in a strange way: "Did the five kings pretend to be themselves?" The voice was not too loud, and it happened to be heard by the group of people surrounding the five kings.

The five kings only waited for these words to come, and immediately pretended to be angry, and retorted: "Which minister said that this king pretended? There is no evidence to say it. You have to have evidence. A few days ago, the ninth younger brother of the king was also injured. You Why don't you say that he is also pretending? Is this king a soft persimmon in the eyes of adults, and he is only bullying this king?"

The author has something to say: I watched "Zhang Juzheng" specifically to write about the conspiracy plot, and I was dizzy after reading it. You should understand me when I write it this way, right?
