Chapter 146 Secret
"Go to Ding Xiangfu."

After getting into the sedan chair, Guan De gave an order.

"Yes."

It took a while for the sedan chair to pass through the imperial street, but it was blocked again.

Guan De was impatient, and said to himself: "Why does it have to be so crowded all day long? The cheap people also insist on crowding into the inner city, wishing to tear down all these shops!"

Lifting the curtain and looking, I saw the sedan chairs in front of me one after another, I don't know which ones are the officials who are going to enter the palace for the night performance, and I can't drive them away, so I feel more and more irritable.

After walking for a while, I found that the front was completely blocked.

"Forget it, I'll take a few steps and arrive at Ding Xiang's mansion, and then I need to get on the sedan chair to go back to the palace. The bearer is waiting here."

In fact, there are not many steps.

Guan De got off the sedan chair, intending to walk through an alley and turn into Qingwazi.

The alley was very small, another group of people came from the side, and the guards on both sides bumped into each other.

Guan De took a look and found that the other party was Sun Yingzhi, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.

"Can Taichang Temple have something to play at night?"

Thinking of this, Guan De hurried forward, and walked in front of Sun Yingzhi without saying hello.

After passing through a short narrow alley, you will arrive at Qingwazi Street immediately.

Suddenly, someone ran into the crowd and bumped into his guard, who bumped into him again.

"Which hozen?!"

Guan De screamed, turned his head and saw a handsome young man with a sick face, he coughed twice and disappeared into the crowd.

Sudden.

"Murder!"

Hearing this yell, Guan De turned his head again, only to see Sun Yingzhi being supported by guards, covered in blood, with a dagger stuck in his chest...

"Ah! Hurry up! Hurry up and protect me! Protect..."

"Ouch! Scared me to death..."

~~
At the same time, Uncle Xie Fang had just returned home, only to see that things were being packed everywhere.

He took a few steps, beckoned to Xu Hexing, and said in a low voice: "After the old man leaves, you stay in Lin'an to investigate something."

"Yes."

"Prince Zhong's biological mother, Huang, was originally the dowry of Concubine Rong. After she became pregnant, she was forced to take abortion medicine. Therefore, after King Zhong was born... she was different from ordinary people."

Xu Hexing was taken aback for a moment, he had vaguely heard the rumor that "the king of Zhong can only speak at the age of seven", but he did not expect it to be so.

"Abortion drug?"

Uncle Xie Fang said: "Few people know about this matter, check, check who leaked the news."

Xu Hexing asked, "Where do we start?"

"Princess Rong's family."

"The Qian family?"

"No, Qian is the successor of King Rong. At that time... Princess Rong was Li, the eldest daughter of Li Renben, who died of illness 13 years ago."

As Uncle Xie Fang said, he suddenly frowned and muttered to himself.

"No... Li Renben has passed away... The Li family has long since fallen... Why did Jiang Wanli suddenly mention this to me? What does he think I know?"

He thought about it, but he lost his mind, ignored Xu Hexing, closed his eyes and meditated.

"What did I do to make Jiang Wanli think I knew the inside story? Who was involved in this recently?"

~~
"Li Xia?"

"Yes, Sun Shaoqing said, he went to meet Li Xia in Prime Minister Ding's mansion to see if he could find out Li Yong's whereabouts, and he was not in a hurry to get someone."

In a certain study room, someone paced a few steps and said dissatisfiedly: "Wait? We should have sent people to Dengxin Lane to kill the family last night, but they came up with an idea to trick Li Yong out, and they lost their heads! The more people do this kind of thing, Negotiations get worse."

"Yes, the three of us agreed that it would be better to get rid of Li Yong and his son as soon as possible, but since Prime Minister Ding called Sun Shaoqing tonight, he still has to go."

"Ding Daquan involved in this matter? Sun Yingzhi will come later?"

"Yes."

"Let's talk about it when he arrives. We must be very careful about this matter..."

~~
Jiang Wanli returned to his apartment, sat down and let out a long sigh.

After a while, Jiang Hao stepped forward and saluted, "Father is back."

Jiang Hao was 27 years old at the time. He was originally the son of Jiang Wanli's good friend. After losing his father, he was adopted by Jiang Wanli as the second son.

Jiang Wanli acted as if he had never heard of it, and said to himself: "I asked Uncle Xie Fang today, he must really not know the details."

Jiang Hao said: "Father wants to ask Xie Gong what is it? If it is about people's livelihood, Xie Gong rarely knows."

Jiang Wanli said: "Have you checked the matter for your father?"

"I stayed in Taichang Temple for a day today. Fortunately, my father's disciples are old, so I asked. Li Yong is indeed the cousin of the old Concubine Rong. Children in the family."

"It's the same if you think about it." Jiang Wanli nodded and said, "You must remember to be more careful in your actions. When you go out to investigate things, don't be too obvious."

Jiang Hao hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Father has been distracted since he came back the day before yesterday, and asked the child to check Li Yong and Sun Yingzhi. I don't know what happened? The child doesn't know the reason, how can he share his worries for the father?"

Jiang Wanli sighed, got up and looked around the door and window before turning to Jiang Hao.

He was rarely so serious.

"Remember to keep it secret."

"Don't worry, father."

"Back then, after Wu Qian was dismissed as prime minister, my father met him once, and he told the old man a secret... The birth mother of King Zhong, Mrs. Huang, was originally a servant girl in Li Renben's family. She was named Huang Dingxi. She married the eldest daughter of Li's family. Enter Rong Wang's mansion. Not long after, Mrs. Huang became pregnant, and Mrs. Li forced her to take abortion medicine."

Jiang Hao said: "So... the King Zhong's mentality is lower than that of ordinary people?"

"good."

"Is this also the reason why Xianggong Wu resolutely opposed the establishment of King Zhong as the crown prince?"

"Maybe."

Jiang Hao pondered and said: "Li Yong is the cousin of the old Concubine Rong Li, who participated in the poisoning of the Huang family? Now that King Zhong has become an adopted son of the official family, Sun Yingzhi wants to get rid of Li Yong and help King Zhong take revenge?"

"No." Jiang Wanli shook his head, "If only it were that simple."

Jiang Hao frowned and pondered for a while, then murmured: "No way?"

"What did you guess?"

"Lord King...isn't it from the Huang family and King Rong?"

Jiang Wanli sighed and said, "That's what Wu Qian said."

He took a few steps and said slowly: "Li Yong is Li Renben's nephew and was raised by Li Renben since he was a child. He admitted that... he once had an affair with Huang Dingxi, the servant girl at home after being drunk. One month later, Huang Dingxi followed Li's The eldest daughter entered Rongwang's mansion, and four months later, she revealed that she was pregnant. Li's forced Huang Dingxi to have an abortion, not for favor, but to cover up that the neutron of Huang's fetus was not born by King Rong.

But no one expected that the child survived; that King Rong had only one son; and that... the official family had no offspring, so the child was adopted as an adopted son, named King Zhong, and became a grandson. Candidate for Prince Song. "

The house was quiet for a long time.

Jiang Hao suddenly said: "Fake, Mr. Wu is spreading rumors."

"You also think that the country cannot be shaken?"

"That's not the case." Jiang Hao said: "It's just that the boy concluded that this matter is that Wu Xianggong framed the loyal king."

Jiang Wanli fell silent.

"You don't need to look at any evidence, just count people's hearts."

Jiang Hao sorted out his thoughts and began to speak.

"If King Zhong is from Li Yong and the Huang family, Li Yong will never admit this to Wu Qian. He should hide it until King Zhong succeeds. Otherwise, once this matter is revealed, both his father and son will die, and his family will be implicated. .

Wu Xianggong said that Li Yong personally admitted that there is only one explanation, that is, they resolutely do not accept a fool... a loyal king succeeding the emperor, and Li Yong did not hesitate to use his family's life as a bargaining chip to frame the loyal king.

Furthermore, if King Zhong is really not a nephew of the official family, and Wu Xianggong can still expose the matter after he goes to the prime minister, why not?He intends to be easy to store, and he intends to personally support a son of the clan.

Wu Xianggong planned this matter when he was appointed as the prime minister, but after he left the prime minister, he temporarily forbeared.From this, it must be false.The loyal king must be of the blood of King Rong, and he is undoubtedly a nephew of the official family. "

When Jiang Hao said this, he became more and more sure.

"Even, Mr. Wu deliberately let out the wind and told his father about it. He wanted the Zhongwang family to hunt down and kill Li Yong, and let his father investigate.

The matter was originally false, but Zhong Wang's family started to kill people to silence them, but left a clue instead.After my father checked, King Zhong's life experience really made people suspicious.

Father, this matter must have been planned by Wu Xianggong. He used Li Yong as a chessboard, his father as a chessboard, and hundreds of officials as a chessboard. He planned to abolish the prince of a country with just a few rumors. "

Jiang Wanli nodded, took two steps, but still didn't speak.

Jiang Hao said: "If the child can think of it, the father must be able to think of it. Why do we need to investigate?"

"Just in case, in case the loyal king is really not from the blood of the Great Song clan..."

"The child is also the adopted son of the father, and the father regards it as his own, and being closer to the child is better than the eldest brother. How come the matter of the official family and the loyal king, but you can't let it go?"

"It's about the inheritance of the country, so we have to be careful."

"But my father knows that this matter is most likely a plot by Mr. Wu."

"For my father, I have to hear Li Yong deny it with my own ears, so that I can feel at ease..."
