I was vying for favor with four big daddy

Chapter 600
Feng Mingxiu was ignorant about government affairs, so sooner or later his flaws would be revealed, and those rumors would immediately become true.

The queen was already powerless in the palace to resist the attacks of those princely families.

They firmly believed that if the prince did not show his face, he must have been assassinated.

So everyone ran to the palace every day to see the prince, and even sent many confidantes to sneak into the palace, trying to get close to the palace of the prince.

The queen was already in great pain because of Feng Mingyuan's matter, but now she is still dealing with so many ministers, and she is already exhausted.

When the ministers saw that the queen hadn't made a breakthrough, they began to dig holes for Feng Mingxiu, wanting to know something from him, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to go back to the prince's mansion.

Some ministers with ulterior motives made such a fuss, and it spread to the ears of the people, one spread to ten, ten to hundreds, rumors spread everywhere, and the hearts of the people were in turmoil.

Why did the prince not go to court in three months? In fact, he had been dead for three months and his ashes were thrown away.

The Empress Dowager has a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince of the Emperor Palace, and she has long been a spy of the Emperor Palace hidden in Liangdu.

Maybe the living dead and evil spirits in the past few years were created by the cooperation of the empress dowager inside and outside.

……

These rumors were first spread in the capital, and then other state capitals also heard about it, and now the subordinates who are looking for Feng Mingyuan's whereabouts in Futu Town and Zheng State also heard about it.

"His uncle!"

Su Qingyun was furious and furious, walking back and forth in a hurry: "Who on earth is so impatient? Arrest them, arrest them all, and sit in prison!"

Ming Wuci boldly said: "We have found the source, it is a group of beggars, the oldest is no more than seven years old."

"They were begging outside the city that day. They heard from two passers-by who looked like warriors. The two men gave them 100 taels of silver and asked them to keep it secret."

"Children can't hide things in their hearts, so they told several beggars when they returned home. The next day, a large group of beggars wanted to ask others for money, but how could they find it?"

Tangtang asked: "Do they know the appearance and whereabouts of those two people?"

Ming Wuci shook his head: "At that time, I was only concerned about the distribution of money. I don't remember clearly. They said that they were riding horses at that time, and they didn't seem to have a capital accent."

"It's not that there are too many accents in the capital!" Su Qingyun almost threw her fan away, "There are no other characteristics?"

Ming Wuci smiled sheepishly: "Yes, it is said that the jade pendant on his body is a new jade pendant from Longyulou. The clothes are luxurious, and it looks like it is from Longyulou."

Su Qingyun: "..."

I can't ask anymore, if I keep asking, maybe those two people will become members of Longyulou.

Ming Wu Ci turned his attention to Tang Tang: "Your Highness, how to deal with this matter?"

Tangtang was reading the letters from Futu Town and Zheng Guo, but found some clues about Feng Mingyuan.

He did appear in these two places. According to those who met him, he was in a puppet state at that time, completely obeying the orders of others.

Another important discovery was that among the people accompanying Feng Mingyuan were the generals of the Xuanwu Army, and the brand marks on their arms were exactly the same as the Xuanwu brand used by the Xuanwu Army.

The branding of the Xuanwu Camp has always been a secret. Other than our own people, no one else can know about it. If this matter spreads again...

Tangtang didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she listened to Mingwu's words and said to her:

"Senior brother Tang Bi has a somewhat secret memorial here, and he ordered someone to pass it back to the capital, so that the ministers who caused trouble must take a closer look."

The memorial secretly reported the evidence that some officials practiced favoritism and enriched their own pockets. As long as they entered the capital, these people could not take care of themselves, how could they have the energy to surround the queen?
The strategy of delaying the attack is to make do with a few days, hoping to find the prince's brother back sooner.

Tang Bi sealed the memorial, handed it to Ming Wuci, and carefully told him: "Eight hundred li is urgent, and there is no stopping day and night, so it must be delivered as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Before Ming Wu Ci went out, the eunuch outside hurried in:
"Your Highness, several elders are seeking an audience outside the other garden. They say they have heard some rumors from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and have come here specifically to seek confirmation."

Tangtang pursed her mouth: "It spread so fast? Call it in."

Several adults were in a hurry, came in without saying anything, and asked about the prince directly.

Tangtang can only say that she is far away in Anyang now, and she really doesn't know what's going on in the capital, it's probably a rumor made out of nothing to destroy the New Deal.

The courtiers left suspiciously.

After the confidant of the Mingwu Ci faction returned to Beijing, they went around outside and came back to report: "There are also many people in Anyang City talking about the disappearance of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Tang Bi looked at Tangtang worriedly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't hide it."

Tangtang sat in front of the desk and thought for a while: "Wait for another three days, if there is no definite news of the prince's brother after three days, then send a letter to the queen's aunt and act according to the original plan."

"Yes."

For the next three days, although news came back from Futu Town and Zheng State, they were basically disconnected.

Every time the searcher asks for a piece of news, the most critical part will be lost for no reason, and none of them are particularly skillful and measured.

"Isn't this the reason that those people dug a hole and waited for His Highness to jump in?" Qian Shuang walked back and forth anxiously, the more she thought about it, the more something went wrong.

Tangtang lay on the desk, pouted her mouth and hummed: "Then Tangtang can't dance, there is no news from the prince's brother."

Tang Bi passed by holding the memorial: "There are still three hours, and three days will be over. Can Your Highness still make up his mind? Rumors don't wait for anyone."

Hearing that the Prince's Palace has been broken into twice, the Queen was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night, she moved Feng Mingxiu to Mingyi Garden overnight, saying that the Prince had been ill for a long time and needed to rest.

Unexpectedly, that night, a court lady touched Feng Mingxiu's bedside in the dark, ready to lift the curtain to see people.

If the imperial guards hadn't found out in time and dragged him out for execution, Feng Mingxiu would have revealed his secrets long ago.

The queen's heart beats every day, and after three days, she has lost a lot of weight, and she can't stand the torment anymore.

Tangtang didn't insist anymore.

She sent a letter to the queen, asking her to pass on Yi's decree that the prince suddenly suffered from an old illness and was seriously ill, and needed to recuperate in Mingyi Garden, and that the full power of the government should be handed over to the empress dowager.

Overnight, this imperial decree caused an uproar, and the rumors of the empress dowager murdering the prince intensified.

Even the other six countries knew about it.

Especially in the Qiang Kingdom, the Emperor Qiang ordered the generals to rush to the border between Daliang and the Qiang Kingdom under the banner of "eliminating the demon girls and restoring peace to the Qiang Liang".

On the third day of the battle between the Qiang Army and Daliang, there was movement in Emperor Zun Palace.

Although Emperor Zun sent a mission to resolve the conflict between the two countries in name, it also brought a hundred thousand soldiers.

In addition to the 10 people of the Qiang Kingdom, 20 soldiers approached the border of Daliang, and the situation became tense for a while, and people panicked.

On the tenth day of the war between the Liang Kingdom and the Qiang Kingdom, Feng Chenyue, the empress dowager of the Liang Kingdom who was on a tour to the south, suddenly returned to the capital and ascended the throne the next day.
