Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 15 The Jia family is affected
Gu Qitai, minister of the South Study Room, was captured by the guards.

The prince was also escorted elsewhere alone by the guards.

The third prince had already determined that the regicide was related to the prince, who wanted to kill his father and usurp the throne.

At this moment, the third prince did not feel happy, but felt sad.

I feel sorry for the prince, but also feel sorry for myself.

The sad thing for the prince is that although this prince has been a prince for decades and is already in his forties and has not yet become an emperor, if he is competent as a prince, he will eventually ascend to the throne.

But he was incompetent at his job and often did stupid things to make his father dissatisfied.

Although people make mistakes and horses make mistakes, if they do too many stupid things, it will not be justified.

But this time, he embarked on a terrifying evil path, actually killing his father and usurping the throne, colluding with Emperor Jing'an's concubines, and colluding with his elder relative, Minister Nan Shufang...

The third prince felt that what was tragic about him was that he had worked so hard to follow and assist the prince for many years, but in the end the prince had ruined something big.

Moreover, this time the prince killed his father and usurped the throne, he didn't even hear any news beforehand, which shows that the prince was quite suspicious and wary of him.

He also made a prediction. Based on the prince's personality and his suspicion and defensiveness towards him, if he really let the prince ascend the throne and become the emperor, he, the backbone prince of the princeling party, might not end well in the future.

In addition, if his son Yuan Qingbai had not saved the emperor by chance this time, he, the backbone of the princelings, might also have been implicated and punished.

At this moment, many other princes kneeling at the scene, as well as Yuan Qingtang, the legitimate son of the fifth prince, began to secretly rejoice.

Especially the fifth prince and the second prince were in ecstasy. The prince had broken something big, and they were the two who had the greatest chance of seizing the throne.

Although they all know that with the rise of Yuan Qingbai, the chance of the third prince, the cold-faced king, seizing the throne in the future will not be small...

……

……

After Gu Qitai and the prince were escorted away by the guards, Tao Quan, the eunuch at the imperial court, walked out of the palace, meandered to the third prince, and said respectfully: "Third Master, it is said that you and Brother Bai are going in together."

To be able to serve as Emperor Jing'an's personal eunuch, and to have been so for many years, Tao Quan is naturally not an easy person, at least he is quite capable of steering the ship according to the wind.

Although Yuan Qingbai had only been close to Emperor Jing'an not long ago, Tao Quan had already seen that the 12-year-old grandson was an extraordinary talent and would most likely be loved by Emperor Jing'an in the future.

Tao Quan also knew that Emperor Jing'an's love for the third prince was not small. The old emperor actually admired the third prince, although he did not like the third prince's harshness and meanness.

In Tao Quan's opinion, the chance of the third prince seizing the throne in the future is not small.

So now, when Tao Quan showed respect to the third prince, he was more respectful than before.

In addition to the third prince, Tao Quanye has decided to be extra respectful to the second and fifth princes in the future.

……

……

The bright room of Yanbo Haomiao Zhai is three rooms wide.

In the bright room, in the middle of the north, there is a kang with bright yellow mattresses, backrests, handrails, and many gorgeous furnishings.

Above the kang bed hangs a plaque with the words "The vastness of the smoke" inscribed by Emperor Jing'an.

Emperor Jing'an was sitting upright on a bright yellow mattress, under the plaque of "Smoke and Vastness", his face was very ugly, and he was as angry as a diamond.

In the bright room, there is a minister from the south study standing in attendance.

At this time, the third prince and Yuan Qingbai, father and son, walked into the Mingjing one after another, came to Emperor Jing'an and knelt down respectfully.

Emperor Jing'an did not ask the third prince to get up.

The third prince did not stand up, so Yuan Qingbai naturally continued to kneel. Emperor Jing'an looked at the third prince with sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice: "The prince colluded with Gu Qitai and others this time to kill his father and usurp the throne. Are you involved?"

The third prince heard this and said hurriedly: "Father, how dare I, my son, take part in such a treasonous and unethical thing?"

Emperor Jing'an asked again in a deep voice: "Did you know the news beforehand?"

The third prince said: "I dare not hide this from my father. I didn't even hear the slightest news beforehand."

He then added: "If I had heard about it in advance, I would have stopped it. How could I have allowed such a treasonous and unethical thing to happen!"

Emperor Jing'an nodded.

According to Dai Quan's interrogation of Cuixiang and the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and Emperor Jing'an's interrogation of Gu Qitai just now, the participation of the third prince in this parricide and usurpation of the throne has not yet been discovered.

Moreover, according to Emperor Jing'an's understanding of the third prince, and Yuan Qingbai's act of rescuing the emperor tonight, Emperor Jing'an did not think that the third prince would be involved in this patricide and usurping the throne.

Emperor Jing'an glanced at the minister of the Southern Study named Tang Chengyuan who was standing at the scene, and ordered: "Tang Chengyuan, please tell the third prince about this parricide and usurpation of the throne."

Tang Chengyuan said "yes" and immediately told the third prince the situation solemnly and carefully.

It turned out that this time the prince not only colluded with Cuixiang and Gu Qitai, but also with the eunuchs stationed at the Chengde Summer Resort, and with Chang'an Camp Jiedu Envoy Zhang Wei.
It also involves Jia Daihua, Jia Jing, Jia She... of the Jia family...

This parricide and usurpation of the throne was mainly planned by the prince and Gu Qitai.

According to the plan, the prince asked the eunuch stationed at the summer resort in advance to bury the so-called talisman of Emperor Jing'an's death in Yanbo Haomiaozhai underground.

This era is very superstitious about things like Nightmare Town.

The prince and Emperor Jing'an's concubine Cuixiang had an affair.

The prince believed that with the help of the talisman weapon and Cuixiang, a concubine who had been favored by Emperor Jing'an in the past two years, Emperor Jing'an could be successfully poisoned.

Once Cuixiang is successfully poisoned tonight, Gu Qitai will help the prince take control of the power.

Jia She, the current commander of the forward battalion, will be asked to lead the forward battalion to assist.

He will also ask Chang'an Camp Jiedushi Zhang Zhen to lead the Chang'an Camp troops to Chengde to assist.

Jia Jing will also be asked to persuade his father Jia Daihua, the military governor of Jingying, to help.

The two high-ranking military attachés, Jia She and Zhang Yi, were both princelings.

Jia Jing was also a princeling.

In this way, the prince can successfully ascend to the throne and become the emperor with all the power in the world.

But things backfired and the prince failed...

If this kind of thing fails, it will really ruin something big.

Although the third prince had previously determined that the prince was going to kill his father and usurp the throne, when he listened to Tang Chengyuan's story, he still felt a huge wave in his heart and felt horrified.

This prince is really brave!
Not to mention that he killed his father and usurped the throne, the mere fact that he and Cuixiang had an affair was shocking.

Yuan Qingbai sighed secretly in his heart: "The Jia family is going to be affected!"

"It seems that Jia Daihua was demoted from a marquis to a first-class general because of his father-killing and usurping the throne."

"In the original work, Jia Jing went to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to practice Taoism."

"In the original work, Jia Daishan is clearly the second-generation Duke of Rongguo. As the eldest son and successor, Jiashe is only a first-class general. He lives in Jiasheyuan, which is separated from Rongguofu East Road, and is headed by his second brother Jia Zheng. "

"It's probably related to this incident!"
