Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 285
As many people expected, the fourth prince sued the emperor, pointing out that the second prince had misbehavior with food and grass, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and wanted to overthrow the imperial power of Emperor Tianyu.

As soon as this statement came out, the people of Yanjing were all in an uproar.

Because Yan Shu produced conclusive evidence—Yang Xiancheng took people to capture him alive, the group of people who came to assassinate him.

As for Mo Yu, he didn't show up, and he didn't mention it either.

Emperor Tianyu attached great importance to this matter, and the second prince was interrogated in the Jinluan Hall on the spot.

However, Yan Kuo was not unprepared. Yan Shu’s more than a month of recuperation time had already made him fully prepared. At this moment, when he heard the old emperor’s question, he knelt down on one knee and raised his voice, "Father Emperor!" , Er Chen has a grievance to sue, as we all know, Er Chen once had a crush on Miss Gu's family, and later the fourth younger brother also had a good impression of Miss Gu's family, and asked for a marriage, but was rejected by the emperor. I personally think that the fourth brother is dissatisfied with Erchen, fearing that Erchen will rob his Miss Gu family, so he deliberately did such a thing to frame Erchen, I beg my father to learn from me!"

This remark sounded a bit childish at first, but upon careful analysis, it was well-founded, and Emperor Tianyu pondered for a moment.

Yan Kuo looked at Yan Shu with some complacency - he was well prepared to refute is the first, and the old emperor's preference for him is the second.

With these two items, how could he remain invincible.

Yan Kuo thought so.

But Yan Shu didn't panic, and still knelt on the ground on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "Father, if the person who assassinated the minister can't get the second brother to plead guilty, then it seems that the only thing we can do is investigate the second brother's house." As far as I know, the second emperor sent these people out, but he paid a big price."

After finishing speaking, he glanced back at the leader of the detainees, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, how much did the Second Prince give you?"

"2000 taels." The man said sullenly.

Assassinated His Highness, and caused His Highness to escape from death. He knew that he and these brothers would definitely not survive.

If it weren't for the lives of the family members in the hands of His Royal Highness, he wouldn't testify in any golden palace.

"Oh, 2000 taels..." Yan Shu said meaningfully, "If there is 2000 taels of silver to be paid by the Second Emperor's Mansion, it should be right."

Yan Kuo's complacent face at the side turned pale.

It stands to reason that when many people do such covert things, they have to use their own private money—that is, the kind of people who do not keep their accounts open, and no one can catch them.

But the middle gift in the second prince's mansion is held by the second prince's concubine. The second prince's concubine has a strong personality, and the second prince is not good at management, so she has always held tight to money.

The second prince was born on the sidelines and loves to spend money, so he often doesn't have much money in his hands, and everything he buys is done on the official account.

In this way, there was a hidden danger, but Yan Kuo didn't care much, because who would have thought that the dignified second prince didn't have his own private house, and would find it in the public account of the mansion.

But who would have thought that in order to pull the second prince down, Yan Shu had already sent someone to investigate clearly, and later even designed to cheat the second prince of some of his money, which led to him having to leave the public accounts, so that the This incident left a handle that could not be removed.

"You..." Yan Kuo said with a pale face, "I... can I buy a house with 2000 taels of silver?"

"What about the house? 2000 taels of money have gone out, where is the title deed of the house? Have you passed the clear path of the yamen? If you haven't, the second brother is lying." Yan Shu said meaningfully.

Yan Kuo's face was even paler this time, he raised his head, and looked at the old emperor in panic, except that he secretly hated the second prince and concubine for holding the money too tightly and not giving him a private house, which left him a big handle, the rest The only thing he wanted was to pin his hopes on the old emperor—since he could not be held accountable for what happened last time, it shouldn't be a big deal that the fourth child didn't lose his life this time.

In fact, Emperor Tianyu was pondering whether it was better for the second son to be punished or not.

Not punishing, it seems a little too obvious, partiality is a bit too much, will it make people see something?
Punishment is no small matter, and the fourth child doesn't look like he can let it go.

But losing his second son in this way, the old emperor was a little bit unwilling.

He raised his head and looked at his two sons in deep thought. When his eyes fell on Yan Shu, he tentatively said, "Your injury is not serious this time, fourth brother. After all, you were transporting food and grass. I know you have worked hard and done a lot. Did you ever want anything?"

This is to compensate.

Yan Shu pursed her lips, her heart sank slightly.

Could it be that the father is determined to protect the second prince, so he has to compensate him?
If this was the usual time, Yan Shu would have immediately said that there was no need for compensation, and that he only needed to punish the second prince.

But now he has another worry, that is, whether he can take advantage of this compensation for his marriage with Bai Shao.

However, if compensation is required, will the Second Prince be let go?
Yan Shu was a little unwilling in his heart, but after thinking about it, Bai Shao was more important, so he raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he said in a sonorous voice, "Since the father asked the son what he wants, the son will not tell lies. Yes, I want my father to marry Miss Gu to my son."

The old emperor on the dragon chair was stunned, stared at Yan Shu carefully, and found that he was indeed willing to give up punishing the second prince in exchange for a marriage with Miss Gu's family, and he hesitated immediately.

Although there is still a General Gu attached to Miss Gu's back, but for a general who doesn't know if he can support her in the future, she gave up the act of pulling the enemy off the horse. I have to say that this fourth son is really infatuated.

You know, dragging the second prince down now will not only avenge Yan Shu's assassination, but the most important thing is that he will be one step closer to the throne.

But now that he has given up, the second prince has no guilt, and he still stands in front of him, making him untrustworthy of the throne.

Yan Shu was able to give a woman a chance to advance to the throne, which made the old emperor a little moved, and Gu Qingfan had already left behind, so after thinking for a while, he finally nodded and let go, "Forget it, since you are so persistent and have repeatedly asked me to grant you a marriage, I will grant your wish!"

After finishing speaking, Jinkou Yuyan spoke, and the old eunuch beside him splashed ink, and soon an imperial decree was written.

Yan Shu knelt down on one knee under the dragon's bank, very excited in his heart, and a little bit disappointed, but he didn't regret it at all.

If the second prince can be tricked once by him, he can trick him a second time in the future, but the chance to marry Xiao Shao'er is only this time.

Thinking of her stunned look when she received the imperial edict, Yan Shu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

With such a smile, he was very different from the appearance when he asked the old emperor to punish the second prince with his sharp tongue just now.

Others behind him couldn't see his expression, but the old emperor happened to see all this clearly when he was sitting on the dragon chair.

His old heart became a little inexplicably sour.

Once upon a time, he also had such a sweet moment, but it's a pity that after learning the identity of that person, his sweetness turned into bitterness forever.

"That's all..." The old emperor leaned his head back on the dragon chair, sighed a few times, and suddenly said loudly, "Yan Kuo gathers murderers to murder his relatives and brothers. It is a brotherhood. Since the first emperor, he has tried his best to stop the brothers of the Yan family." Brothers fight each other, but it still can't stop you... Sigh, even though you are all my own sons and daughters, with flesh on your palms and backs, things are right and wrong, day and night, the son of the Yan family, since he made a mistake, he must accept punishment Now I am punishing Yan Kuo not to leave the second prince's mansion for five years, and handing over all the affairs under his jurisdiction to others... As for those people in the world, just kill them!"

With such a completely different attitude from before, everyone in the Golden Luan Hall was stunned.

Yan Shu couldn't help but Yan Kuo struggled crazily after the shock, not letting the two imperial guards drag him away, and yelled crazily, "Father, I am your favorite My son, why don't you love me this time? Why? You let me go just now. Why? Why did you change your mind? I don't blame my father. Yan Shu is not dead yet. After joining me for five years, why... Father Emperor..."

The old prince took a look at the crazy look of the second prince, closed his eyes a little bit of hatred, and waved his hands.

The two imperial guards increased their strength again, and forcibly dragged Yan Kuo away from the Golden Luan Hall quickly.

The old emperor sighed, opened his eyes, his eyes fell on Yan Shu, and said in a flat tone, "Fourth, these days... you should take some time to sort out the things that your second was under your jurisdiction."
