Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 532
Xie Jue stepped up preparations to make various dowry gifts and dowry, but another torrential rain broke out in the capital after the heavy rain.

After Chang Baicheng personally led a team to search the Prince's Mansion in Anjun, he also led a team to search the Cai Mansion, and arrested Cai Bing and the five families of the Cai family.

This Cai Bing was originally from a poor family and did not have many relatives, but since he gained power, many people surnamed Cai have clinged to him, either from the Lianzong family or saying that he is a direct relative who has lost contact. During the Chinese New Year, the Cai family has just repaired In terms of genealogy, among the five clans of Cai Bing, there are many more clan members, including some low-ranking Beijing officials, one or two external officials, and one is a businessman.

Chang Baicheng didn't care so much, after searching the genealogy, he asked people to arrest people according to the genealogy.

For a time, the capital was full of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

And more people couldn't figure out what happened. Even if some people dared to ask, they were yelled back by the imperial guards with black faces.

One night, many people were terrified, until the next day, when the rest was over, those who could go to court hurriedly set off early in the dark to exchange information at the gate of the palace.

Chen Hanming stood in front of the palace gate in court clothes, his eyes swept over the gathered courtiers.

I laughed coldly in my heart.

I thought the emperor was soft-tempered, but I didn't expect this time to make him look a little different.

Assassination in the Queen's Palace was such a major event, the emperor was able to hide it so closely this time, not a single bit of wind leaked out.

If Kang Wang hadn't sent someone to deliver the letter, he would not have guessed what happened in the palace.

Who would have thought that someone actually assassinated the emperor in the queen's palace?
His first reaction when he heard it at the time was that it was over. I was afraid that someone deliberately framed the Queen and King Kang. If it had something to do with the assassination, it would be a crime of beheading.

But after waiting all night, the imperial guards sealed off the Prince's Mansion of Anjun and Cai's Mansion, and nothing happened to him.

Then King Kang sent a letter again, saying that the prince's son was still alive, and now he is a sea merchant, and he has also won the title of third-rank Sanguan from the imperial court, asking him to find a way to disclose this matter.

Chen Hanming understood that Kang Wang was trying to bring trouble to the east.

However, he hadn't met the first prince several times back then, let alone the son of the first prince. So what is the evidence for saying that the sea merchant is the son of the first prince?

It was the daughter who came up with an idea, saying that it was hard for them to tell and they had never seen it, but Mrs. Rong Guogong must have seen it, why not let Rong Guogong talk about it?

On that day, he asked his wife and daughter to go to Duke Rong's mansion. The daughter lived up to her expectations, and when she came back, she said that she had persuaded Duke Rong.

However, Rong Guogong still raised a question. It has been ten years since the destruction of the Eastern Palace. He met the sons of the former prince once, but that was many years ago, and there is no reliable evidence Even if he stood up and said it, he would probably be refuted by others.

He was struggling with his brain when he heard his favorite aunt and concubine come and say that he had heard a very interesting news. People from the Han family said that the newly married girl from the Kong family was actually the former crown prince. daughter.

Although this news is extremely unreliable, Chen Hanming still told the people who stayed in Prince Kang's mansion about the idea of ​​King Kang, and at the same time, he also sent someone to pass a message to Xiang Han to test the matter. Seriously.

But yesterday, Kang Wang's people came out of the mansion and brought two pieces of news. One was that the emperor had ordered Cai Bing's house to be raided and arrested. What's more, it doesn't matter that the first prince only had one daughter, and the first prince still has a son alive.

As for the rest, Prime Minister Han will choose what to do.

The emperor was assassinated and Cai Bing was arrested, which means that the emperor has found out that this matter is related to King An and Cai Bing. Moreover, King Kang also vaguely revealed that the sixth prince is also finished.

In this case, Kang Wang became the last beneficiary.

However, the people above the court are not stupid. Cai Bing is now being arrested, not beheaded, and his henchmen have to do their best to save him. Then, the remaining King Kang has become the target.

Those people will definitely attack Kang Wang in order to transfer Cai Bing's guilt. At that time, with the emperor's temperament, they may really suspect that these things were caused by Kang Wang.

Furthermore, Kang Wang was still too young to do such a thing, so it was him, Kang Wang's biggest supporter, who did it!

This is really not good!
Therefore, at this time, if someone proposes that the son of the first prince is still alive, so many strange events that have happened in the palace recently are probably related to the son of the first prince, then at least half of the attention can be diverted, so that the emperor will not be suspicious Kang Wang.

As for telling this matter, whether the emperor beheaded the son because he was jealous of the former prince or suspected that his son's death and assassination had something to do with that person, or whether he spared the son's life out of kindness, is not their concern. range.

Anyway, no matter what he did, the emperor would not treat that person, let alone let him threaten King Kang's status.

Not to mention that in a sense, the emperor snatched the position of the first prince, that is, the two crimes that the first emperor executed the first prince, even if it was unfounded, it was said by the first emperor himself.

Even if the former emperor did not punish the former prince's children, they were still the sons of sinners.

Jun Ying can also say that the previous title is still there, and that the Emperor Daren and Righteousness restored his status, but the son of the former crown prince didn't have any titles, and even if he survived, his status would not be much higher.

If Han Xiangruo was smart, he threw the matter out after going to court, without waiting for Cai Bing and his party members to speak out.

Now that the emperor just ordered to arrest people instead of killing people, it means that some things have not been confirmed. At this time, Han Xiang said such words, so he had to doubt the son of the former prince.

At that time, he will go out again and ask the emperor why he wanted to arrest King An and Cai Bing, so that the emperor can take the opportunity to tell what he has already mastered.

This way, things are actively in their hands!

This time, as long as Cai Bing can be pulled down, he, Chen Hanming, can join the cabinet as Prime Minister, and Prime Minister Han's position as chief assistant can be given to him. Anyway, that old man Han Xiang can't do anything.

At that time, he will take advantage of the emperor's weakness to win over and give favor to those Cai Bing's party members, and those forces will inevitably become his subordinates.

In this way, within a year or two, the imperial court will be under Chen Hanming's control!
"Han Prime Minister is here." An official shouted outside, and under a lantern, the small sedan chair of the Han family was walking over.

At the same time, the palace gate of the palace hall was also opened, and the deacons and eunuchs led the waiting officials into the palace.

After the officials stood up, the emperor, supported by Eunuch Ding, walked out of the apse and sat on the dragon chair.

Before the emperor could speak, Han Xiang had already stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."
