Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 144 Success depends on people
"Father, people still need to pay more attention to the second uncle and the second aunt. The two of them are so talkative that they won't restrain themselves outside. I'm afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to the family."

"I have already told Uncle Zhong about this. Zhong Xi will be with your second uncle these days."

"As long as you have arrangements." Lin Miaofu felt relieved.

Not long after, Zhong Xi came over with a letter, saying that the second master of the Lin family wanted to deliver it to the eldest princess's mansion, but was stopped.

"The second master was going out at this time, but we stopped him and agreed to help deliver the letter, so they calmed down a bit." Zhong Xi was helpless: "The younger one didn't dare to make the decision, so he brought the letter over."

"Give me the letter." Lin Miaofu took the letter and said, "Just tell them that you have asked me to send it to you, and then tell them that there is something going on in the Second Princess's house, and you can't tell for a while. , Lin Shuangyue will come back in two days and will explain it properly. "

Zhong Xi agreed and reported to Mr. Lin and his wife after an hour.

Although they were a little unhappy and didn't have any actual words from Lin Shuangyue, they were still satisfied. They didn't even ask if what happened at the princess's house would involve Lin Shuangyue.

Zhong Xi could only sigh in his heart, but didn't say anything else.

In the eldest prince's mansion.

The old man he was playing chess with had already left and returned to Jiangnan, so he stood alone by the waterside pavilion thinking about something.

Although the situation outside showed that the emperor was seriously ill.

But he was still hesitant and didn't know whether to take action.

If so, if we don't seize the opportunity this time, I'm afraid we will never have the chance to ascend to the throne of God again.

The influence he had worked hard for for more than ten years was about to be broken up. It would not be easy to find such a justifiable reason.

At that time, he can only be a traitor and traitor.

The eldest prince also knew that he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. If he didn't fight, he would be sorry for himself.

But even though he was ready to become a king and loser, he was still worried about what would happen if he failed...

"Your Highness, Duke Dingguo has settled down in the Western Suburbs Camp." A confidant came over to report, "It's just that we are not here for a long time after all. The commander of the Western Suburbs Camp has not received your Majesty's oral instructions. I'm afraid he will If you become suspicious, when the commotion becomes louder, it may not be as safe as it is now. "

"I know." The eldest prince pinched his eyebrows and looked tired.

"Just do as you said before."

The eldest prince made a difficult decision, and then said: "What did Mr. Ji Ge say?"

The confidant held a jade slip. The inside of the jade slip was hollow, and Ji Jianming's certificate of surrender was placed inside.

A confidant said regretfully: "This old guy is still naughty. He is unwilling to involve the entire Ji family and only lets the grandson be the mouthpiece."

"This is to be expected. They have been entrenched in the capital for many years and have already established their own literary power. No matter who ascends the throne and becomes emperor, it will not have much influence on them."

"Unlike the scholars in Jiangnan, there are many talents who are not recognized."

"Being more willing to take risks."

"Enter the city at Xu time."

The eldest prince said: "It's still early now, so I should go to the palace to pay my respects."

The commander of the military and horse divisions of the five cities suddenly came to the Yamen with their people, and surrounded Gu Xicheng and his people: "Mr. Gu!" He raised his hand and saluted with a smile. .

"In the past few days, I have been unwell, and you have been involved in all the government affairs. Now that I am well, you should have a good rest." Without waiting for him to speak, he waved his hand, and dozens of people surrounded him. , quickly tied up Gu Xicheng and threw him into the firewood shed nearby. Several other officials who were not confidants were also tied up.

Gu Xicheng and several of the adults he was friends with looked at each other and opened their eyes in panic. They vaguely guessed something, but they didn't dare to say it.

Of course, there is also a reason why their mouths are blocked.

Soldiers were ready to go and rode on horseback to drive away the crowds on the street: "Curfew, go home quickly. Violators will be shot."

Now that the unitary hour has not yet arrived, there is a curfew. It is simply telling everyone that something is going to happen in the capital.

Now most of the officials have not yet gone to the yamen. All the officers and soldiers with swords are blocking the yamen, and some colleagues have turned against them.

Everything is very fast.

After telling the prince the truth in prison, Gu Zhao never left the prince, for fear that he would be impulsive and confront the eldest prince.

"You don't have to be so wary of me." The prince smiled and said, "You are so close now. Are you protecting me, or are you trying to use my life as a proxy for your eldest brother?"

The latter words are naturally a joke, but they are also real and have elements of temptation in them.

Gu Zhao smiled: "The eldest prince probably has more people than you think."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng brought Chen Jue to Jin Wuwei's prison, and whispered a few words to Gu Zhao in a low voice, with a bit of sternness on his face.

"You take the two guards to rest first."

Gu Zhao glanced at Chen Jue's two guards. Their faces were shocked, but they didn't say anything. They found an empty room nearby and rested.

Chen Jue still had a somewhat excited look on his face. Seeing Jiang Feng leave, he pulled Gu Zhao and told him how they were being hunted along the way and how Jiang Feng killed people.

It wasn't until the prince coughed lightly that Chen Jue felt like a chicken being pinched by the neck, and his voice was stuck in his throat.

He actually never noticed that the prince was here.

First he bowed awkwardly and muttered a few words in a low voice.

"I am such a big person here, but you didn't see it, but you blamed me for scaring you. Where does this fallacy come from?"

The prince laughed angrily, and Chen Jue dispelled the gloom just now.

Chen Jue pursed his lips and lost interest. Normally, the prince always lectures him, but now, if he knows that someone is chasing him, he will probably say that he is the one who caused the trouble...

It was only then that Chen Jue asked belatedly: "Brother Qianjun, how did you know someone was chasing me? Did you ask Jiang Feng to pick me up?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Gu Zhao took a sip of tea and comforted him: "I'll tell you later. Now you watch and listen more. Don't ask yet."

Chen Jue nodded ignorantly, but felt a little uneasy in his heart, worried that something big was going to happen.

The Jinwu Guard's Jinyi Guard Commander is still Deng Kai, and Dong Xuan is still in name only, but Deng Kai is also very wise and takes him with him in everything, which can be regarded as giving them face.

When Deng Kai and Dong Xuan also came over, Chen Jue realized that all the big shots were coming to this small Jinwuwei meeting hall.

Several people met the ceremony, the prince and Deng Kai sat at the top, and the others sat at the bottom.

"Your Highness, Princess Jiacheng has begun to mobilize the Emperor's Eight Guards. I'm afraid there won't be many people left here. Do you want to return to the imperial city now?"
