Chapter 41
Originally, he had always wanted to give his position to the crown prince and let him take over as the new emperor, but this time he dared to mobilize the Yulin army, hoping to take the opportunity to plot a rebellion.

This incident made him realize that the prince is not only a little willful and rebellious at ordinary times, it is as simple as lack of maternal love.

To have such boldness, he must form a party behind his back, and there are ministers secretly planning for him, and he still knows how much the crown prince has.He is afraid that after he succeeds to the throne, those who conspired with him will use the hands of the prince to eradicate the other princes, reap the benefits of the fisherman, and drive him off the throne.

The crown prince knew what happened last time, and it was impossible to pass it so simply. For such a long time, his father had not summoned him, nor had he punished him. He was uneasy, feeling that something was about to happen.At this time, Situ Nan came to visit.

Hearing that he was coming, the prince didn't know how happy he was. Since he mobilized the Yulin army last time, no one in the court dared to come to him these days. He didn't expect him to come, so he was naturally overjoyed.

From a long distance, the prince ran over, and when he saw Situ Nan, he said with a smile, "Situ Nan, you really are a good friend of His Highness!"

Situ Nan bowed and said, "See you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I heard that you haven't been out recently, so you must be very bored in the palace, so I specially took a pair of canaries and gave them to His Highness to relieve your boredom."

The prince hurriedly asked the people around him to take over the birdcage, patted Situ Nan on the shoulder and said, "You are the only one who knows me. The prince likes this pair of canaries very much, and there are many rewards. Come here, come and take the cage." Take the emerald jade pot that was paid as a tribute a few days ago and give it to Situ Nan."

After hearing this, Situ Nan said to the crown prince: "How can this servant, who has not made an inch of merit, dare not accept such a generous gift from His Majesty the Crown Prince, it will be a shame."

The prince said with a smile: "My Highness said you can afford it, so you can afford it. Hurry up and accept it. Don't disappoint my Highness."

Situ Nan accepted the reward and said: "Since Your Highness is so kind, I will not refuse. Thank you for your reward."

Immediately afterwards, the prince led Situ Nan into the study, and seeing no one around, Situ Nan said to the prince: "Your Highness, the Emperor has already known about the Yulin Army, and my servants are aware of His Highness's difficulty, so we are here to help His Highness get out of trouble." of."

Hearing this, the prince was overjoyed and asked: "Situ Nan, what's your plan, tell me quickly."

Situ Nan whispered in his ear, the prince immediately applauded after hearing it!After speaking, Situ Nan left. The prince's face was filled with a satisfied smile, which lasted for a long time.

On the second day, officials from the Ministry of Punishments reported that the commander of the Yulin Army had confessed. They used the prince's name to mobilize the Yulin Army. Wang Fu, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, was the mastermind. , To secretly rebel, overthrow the imperial power, and force the palace to take over.

The emperor is suspicious by nature, and he is not sure whether his personal eunuch has such ambitions. Maybe he misunderstood the prince. Since ancient times, there have been many eunuchs seizing power, and the turmoil caused by it eventually led to the overthrow of the dynasty. The emperor just doesn't want to link such things with his son, he's just deceiving himself!Now that there is such a person who just confesses to the court, maybe it is easier for an old person to be soft-hearted and unable to tell right from wrong.It's a pity that Wang Fu, who had been serving the emperor all the time, accompanied the emperor like a tiger, did not end well in the end, and was executed together with the commander of the Yulin Army.

The prince was very happy when he heard the news. Someone helped him solve the problem, and the position of prince was preserved.In the past few days, he came to the emperor's side every day, asking for his health, and even copied the scriptures to pray for the emperor. From the outsiders' point of view, the prince is really a filial son. Others in the court wanted to report some bad things about the prince to the emperor. No one dares to mention it now, the position of the crown prince is very stable.

Taking advantage of the emperor's good mood these few days, Prince Ning and Lord Zhen Guo came to see the emperor together, and came to cancel the marriage. The emperor was not very happy to hear their request, but one was his own younger brother and the other was his own general. It is not easy to tear the face apart on both sides. Since both his family agreed and the two children had no intention of each other, they obeyed their wishes and canceled the marriage offer.

Soon, the emperor ordered to cancel the engagement between the two, and both families were happy with no complaints.

But unexpectedly, once the news was announced, Li Qingzhu did not wait for Jiang Sijun to come, but people came to propose marriage every day. The princess was in poor health before, and the whole capital knew it. Since the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, many people knew that the princess was not only in good health , talented and beautiful, not long after, Lin Zixian was given a marriage, and many people lost their chance. This time, when they heard that the princess had no engagement, they all came to propose marriage. There was still a queue at the gate of the palace, and some people They were still fighting for a place in the queue, and some even beat their heads to the point of bleeding. Lin Zixian was not much better. The two were in similar situations, and they dared not go out.How can this be good.

Lin Zixian really couldn't stand it this day, so he brought Jiang Sijun, vomited bitterness to him, and said: "Why don't you take action, brother, I can't go home because of you, and I still come out quietly in the middle of the night, Why are those women so crazy, so scary, have you heard about the Princess? Our situation is not much better, I am a man, and she is a woman who is harassed like this every day. How can you feel at ease, I It’s not all for you, if it wasn’t for you, brother, I wouldn’t have divorced even if I died!”

Jiang Sijun smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to take the blame for me, I will find a way to solve this matter."

Lin Zixian said again: "Brother Jiang, hurry up and find me one. It has to be beautiful and strong in martial arts. It must be better than the princess. If you can't find it, I'm going to chase the princess back." .”

Jiang Sijun shook his head with a smile and said: "It seems that I can only go to heaven, and I may not find it in the world."

Lin Zixian still bullied him with force, complaining on the surface, but actually urging him to act quickly.He didn't want his sacrifice to be a waste.

Li Qingzhu wanted to go out, but he had no choice but to go out in men's clothing. The people at the door didn't recognize him. Walking on the street like this, no one came to harass him. What a novel thing, Li Qingzhu walked to a store, which sold all kinds of jewelry, and a multicolored bead flower caught her eyes. She took out some blue gemstones, and the golden bead curtain underneath, it will move as soon as the bead curtain is shaken, this bead flower must look good on her head, when she was about to take it out, suddenly a hand took the bead flower out of her Eyelids lowered and snatched away.
