The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1293

"Pay close attention to the movements on both sides. Although Prince Gong has [-] elite soldiers, if Prince Jing is well prepared, Prince Gong may not be able to take down Fengqing Mansion."

Gu Chengyu thought of King Yijing's city mansion, so he might have been secretly on guard after he robbed King Gong's weapons and horses for the first time.

"My lord, if we take advantage of this opportunity to take back the lost city, that would be a great achievement!" Ming Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking it was a good idea.

Gu Chengyu shook his head with a smile, "Although I am the coach now, these soldiers have to obey my orders. But the soldiers guarding the border must not move. Who knows when Daxing will attack? Besides, this matter is not up to me It can be done by one person, without the emperor's will, I will not act rashly. I have already passed the military situation of the border to the capital, let's wait for the emperor's order!"

So many people in the court are watching his every move, without the emperor's will, how dare he meddle?

But don't be regarded as leading troops to rebel, then it's hard to tell, after all, these people are worried that they won't have a chance to catch his fault!Especially after he has been promoted to two levels in a row, there may be a lot of acid words in the court.

"How unreasonable!" The emperor overturned the pen and ink and the memorial on the case, he was furious and his face was ferocious!
"I don't know, the Shen family has become a tyrant in the capital. When will the aristocratic families in the capital want to act according to his family's winks?"

The emperor snorted coldly, originally he only thought that the Shen family was the number one in the capital, but now after careful investigation, he found that the Shen family's appetite was getting bigger and bigger.

"But have you found out? Is there anything to do with the eldest prince's falling into the water this time?" The emperor grabbed the armrest of the armchair and secretly exerted force. He never expected that Shen's would be so bold and ruthless.

The Shen family is the father's family of the queen mother, and Shen Shikang helped him a lot before, so he naturally has some affection for the Shen family.

But love is love, he must not tolerate Shen's coveting the throne.And this time Shen Shi dared to stretch out his hand to Brother Ye, this is absolutely unforgivable for him.

"Your Majesty! When the First Prince fell into the water, he was accompanied by only one servant and one maid. The rest of the servants and maids were sent away. These two are the most suspected, and they have already been caught and tortured."

Pang Chu had already carefully interrogated these servants and maids. Those two were the personal servants and maids of the Great Emperor's womb.These two have been serving the First Prince for more than two years, and the general affairs in the First Prince's womb are usually watched over by them.

With the power of these two people, it was a breeze to dismiss those servants and maids.

"Do you have an explanation?" Although Brother Ye was still young, he grew up in the palace. How could he be so innocent and so easy to be coaxed?
"The court lady killed herself by biting her tongue, but the servant is still alive. After being tortured, he confessed a little bit. But he didn't know much, and we didn't ask much."

"Is it really Shen's hands?" The emperor took a deep breath, he is still willing to believe that Shen will do this, but the news he found is indeed so.

"Indeed! He said that he had colluded with Shen Shi before he entered the palace, and Shen Shi let him enter the palace to get close to the eldest prince. He has not received the mission given to him by Shen Shi for more than two years. It’s a hidden pile that doesn’t move.”

"How did they coax the First Prince to go to the lotus pond? Now that the lotus flowers have withered in this season, you don't need to pass through the lotus pond to go to Ci'an Palace. Why did they pass by there?"

The emperor couldn't understand this point, could it be that these two people knocked Brother Ye unconscious and dropped him into the lotus pond?This is not impossible.

"Recently, the Empress Dowager has been feeling unwell and has been losing her appetite. The First Prince should have remembered the lotus seed porridge that I accidentally mentioned before. This year, the east side of the lotus pond is drinking hot spring water, and there are still a few lotus pods remaining in the lotus pond. The servant reported it to the First Prince, and the First Prince was very happy when he heard it. After school, let this person take him there to have a look."

"He is a prince, if he wants lotus seeds, why should he pick them himself? It's too inappropriate." Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help being a little angry. As a prince, he naturally had to put his own safety first.There is no need for the prince to go to such trivial matters in person.

"This person lied to the eldest prince, saying that it was more sincere to pick it himself. After all, the empress dowager has been in a bad mood recently, and the eldest prince is pure and kind-hearted, and he is also a filial piety. How did he know that the person who has been serving him for more than two years is actually someone else? Who came to murder him? The eldest prince is only eight years old!"

It is too harsh for the emperor to say so.A child who is only eight years old is just trying to do his filial piety!No matter how mature he is on weekdays, but his mind has not yet been trained to be sophisticated, isn't the emperor still very innocent at his age?
It's just that the empress dowager protected her well back then, otherwise the emperor would definitely suffer a lot at this age.

"Eight years old is not too young. Since I intend to make him the crown prince, I should be cautious in every word and deed. Think twice before acting. I always told you what to say before, but he didn't take it to heart. How could it be?" So credulous about the people around you? Change all the servants in the palace of the great emperor, choose some palace servants with clean backgrounds, and don’t be mixed in by any messy people.”

The emperor sighed helplessly, the matter had already happened, and it was useless to complain any more.

What's more, there is still an important matter to be resolved now, Shen Shi has already done it, so naturally he can't bypass Shen Shi.

The emperor suspected that many officials in the court already knew that he was poisoned, and perhaps it was because of this that Shen wanted to put all his eggs in one basket.

"Xuan Commander Tong Zhi Bai Guan came to see me!" The emperor called out to the outside of the hall, and asked Xiao Quanzi to pass the news.

"My lord! What do you think we should do? The eldest prince fell into the water, and the emperor grabbed Xiao Anzi who was beside him. Xiao Anzi is a hidden stake we planted next to the eldest prince. If this matter is implicated in our house, the emperor will not let it go easily." Shen!"

Staff member Zhang Chongjing was very worried. He glanced at Shen Shikang, hesitant to speak.Before, he had advised the adults to take it slowly, but their foundation is not yet solid, so they can't act rashly.

Could it be that my lord can't wait any longer, and is going to attack the eldest prince first?But now is not the time yet!
"What? Do you think the old man did it?" Shen Shikang was also uneasy about this matter. After receiving Zhang Chongjing's eyes, he naturally saw the other party's thoughts.

"We have already discussed it before, so we have to wait! Is this old man the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? Xiao Anzi is indeed a pawn that I placed next to the eldest prince, but the original intention is to let him deliver news for us. Now that the First Prince is still young, I didn’t intend to use him in the past few years, who would have thought that he would suddenly attack the First Prince? This is really beyond my expectation.”

He didn't give such an order, and things haven't reached this point yet.

"If it wasn't for you, then we should have been tricked." Zhang Chongjing shook his head, it seemed that someone was going to be a fisherman.
