Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 293 Inheriting from Li Xin

The news that the emperor of Chengde was seriously ill and fainted was controlled to the maximum extent in the palace. For this reason, Chen Ju also killed a dozen palace servants who wanted to spread the news out of the palace. This incident was under the thunderous means of the eunuch. There was hardly a whiff of the wind.

  There are only five Saisukes in the capital who know the details. Others can only guess based on some clues and clues like Li Xin.

   After this incident, the capital fell into a strange silence again. The imperial court, under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the five Saisukes, continued to operate as usual, as if nothing had happened.

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

   And after Li Xin came back from Chen Guogong's mansion, he started to commute to get off work in Yulin Wei, and occasionally went to Hou Jingde's classroom to discuss some matters with the black-faced big man.

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

  It snowed in Jinling City.

   There is still a month before the twelfth lunar month, but the snowflakes are already the size of goose feathers, and only from morning to night, the capital is dyed snow white.

On such a snowy night, it stands to reason that one should hide in a small red clay stove at home and cook a few glasses of wine to be comfortable, but most people in this world have no fate with the word "forever". Despite the heavy snow, there are still people in Yonglefang. Running in the snowy night.

   This figure was dressed in grey clothes, which was not very conspicuous in the snow field. He staggered through Yonglefang, and every time he walked through a place, the footprints he left were quickly wiped by snowflakes.

   Finally, he arrived at the gate of Prince Qi's mansion and knocked on the side door of the mansion.

   The side door opened, someone came out to welcome him in, and went round and round to the backyard of Prince Qi's mansion.

  Qi Wangfu was built earlier than Wei Wangfu. Although the area is not as large as Wei Wangfu, the courtyard is full of corridors and pavilions, and the design is very delicate.

   Once the emperor of Chengde visited the Qi Wangfu, he also praised the exquisiteness of this house.

  The man in gray who rushed to Prince Qi's mansion in the snowy night finally met the fourth prince today, His Royal Highness King Qi of Great Jin, in the study of Prince Qi's mansion.

   His Royal Highness King Qi was not very tall. At this time, he was wearing a pure black cloak and sat quietly on the main seat of the study.

   There was not only him in the study, but also seven or eight doormen.

   His Royal Highness the King of Qi always likes to make friends. When he encounters talented and knowledgeable people, he will come to his house to be a guest, and if he talks, he will be kept at home and used as a staff member.

   It has been nine years since he left the palace and opened the mansion. There are two or three hundred disciples in Prince Qi's mansion. The people who are gathered in the study now are the best of these disciples, and they are also several confidants of the fourth prince.

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

   His Royal Highness King Qi was talking with the doorman. Hearing this, he immediately looked at the man in gray and said, "Hand it over."

   The man in gray groped for a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve. Two lines of indistinct handwriting were written on the silk cloth.

   His Royal Highness King Qi frowned before taking the cloth, "Why is it so dirty?"

  The man in gray smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, our people in the palace beat Eunuch Chen to death more than a dozen in order to spread the news. This piece of cloth was handed out by them desperately.

  The Fourth Prince nodded, stretched out two fingers, pinched the cloth, and opened it on the table.

   After barely distinguishing the handwriting on the cloth, His Royal Highness Qi Wang took a deep breath. He took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, as I expected a few days ago, something really happened in the palace..."

   His Royal Highness King Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Father, his injury has deteriorated. He passed out a few days ago. It took a long time for the hospital to save him before he was rescued."

  A thin and thin scholar who looked only in his twenties bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, there are two cases when you get sick. Your Majesty's big trip is not far away, we have to get ready."

The other aide was an old man in his forties or fifties with a slightly fat body. He said in a loud voice, "If Li Xin from Yulinwei hadn't intervened last month, then most of the crown prince would have been abolished. Don't do it again."

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

After the incident of the Wang family, the fourth prince did send someone to kill Wang Anmin's family, and then plant them on the crown prince's head. Most of the princes have already been deposed for lack of virtue, but I don't know why, they were assassins in the Qi prince's palace. After they were sent out, they were blocked.

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

  Fortunately, these assassins were all four dead men, and they didn't say a word about Qi Wangfu until they died.

This incident made the fourth prince anxious for more than a month. He was afraid that it was his father, the emperor of Chengde, who sent someone to protect the Wang family. Fortunately, more than a month passed, and no one from the court came to look for him, so he just Gradually put it in the back of my mind.

   "The matter of the Wang family is over, no one should mention it again."

  The prince looked solemn: "It's almost time now, we should start, Yao Weng, are everything ready?"

It was the slightly fat old man who was called "Yao Weng" by the fourth prince. This man's name was Yao Hu. He was a scholar and famous. It was very important. Nine years ago, when Prince Qi's mansion was just opened, when he was recruiting talents, he volunteered to meet the fourth prince. In a blink of an eye, nine years later, he had become the absolute confidant of Prince Qi's mansion.

   "It's ready."

  Yao Hu took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve, lowered his head and smiled: "His Royal Highness has indulged in sensuality over the years, but he has done a lot of injustice."

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

   And it’s the undisguised kind.

  It was because he was a nobleman of Tianhuang. Even if the matter was reported to Jingzhao House or even to the Ministry of Punishment, no one would dare to pay attention, and there was no need to cover up.

  Secondly, it was because the Crown Prince thought he had no hope of ascending the throne back then, felt a little disheartened, and was too lazy to cover up these things.

   Originally, as a clan, even if you commit a crime, you will not be punished very much. Even if the matter is big, at most, you will be ordered by the emperor to order a few words and fined a few years of salary. It is impossible to convict.

   But the prince is different.

   As a prince, you have committed many crimes before you ascended the throne. If you become the prince, would it be worth it?

His Royal Highness King Qi took a deep breath and said, "Send these things to the censors at the Censor Terrace. After the incident with Wang Anmin last time, the Censors in the Censor Terrace who were imprisoned were deeply in their hearts. Most of them still harbor resentment."

   "Let them write a letter to play the prince's wickedness."

Up and down the court, all the yamen may fear retaliation after the crown prince ascends the throne, but the people of the sole censor do not. These officials like honesty and straightforward advice. Some of the older ones are not afraid of death, because they know , As long as he dies, he will easily be remembered in history.

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

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

   "Wenhe, you bring someone to copy a few more of these things, and when the time is right, send someone to post it on the street of Yonglefang."

   Having said this, the Fourth Prince smiled coldly.

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