Chapter 134

The next day, news finally came from Zhao Yuci that Chen Zhi's opinion was adopted.

Actually, Chen Zhi didn't have that much ability to convince Zhao Yuci with just a few words. In fact, many advisers around Zhao Yuci had suggested this method, but compared to Chen Zhi, who was fearless like a newborn calf, they were always more tactful and gentle when giving advice.

In addition, many people knew about the grudge between the Queen and Zhao Yuci's mother, Concubine Gao Shufei. Originally, few people dared to suggest that Zhao Yuci should endure the humiliation and pretend to submit to the Crown Prince. Those who did suggest this did not dare to be too sharp, so Zhao Yuci never considered this option.

After all, who would be willing to fawn on the person who killed their mother?

The reason why he decided to overthrow the prince first was also because he wanted to avenge his biological mother and grandfather's family.

But Zhao Yuci was not a person who would not listen. After careful consideration, he decided that joining the prince's camp now would be like providing timely assistance. Given the prince's personality, he would definitely accept his kindness and slowly treat him as his right-hand man.

After all, sometimes, it is much more useful for Zhao Yu, who is also a prince, to resign and do things instead of being a minister of the queen's mother's family.

Having made the decision, Zhao Yuci acted quickly.

Originally, the incident had caused a stir because he had handed the knife to the Sixth Prince. So it wasn't that difficult for him to do something about it and change the situation a little.

Soon, the information and evidence that would help the prince escape from trouble, collected from Chen Zhi and the other five princes' spies, were sent to Jiang Shanru, the current head of the Jiang family and the prince's uncle.

If you can't clear yourself of the blame, then throwing a basin of dirty water on your opponent and digging out his faults can also make yourself feel better.

For example, the Sixth Prince’s wife, Guo, was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money and grain, and is the purse of the imperial court. Minister Guo is the father-in-law of the Sixth Prince. Over the years, even when he was distributing relief money this time, his hands may not be clean.

You can’t tell anything from the surface, but no matter how deep these old foxes hide their tails, you can still dig them out if you are willing to dig.

This is the role of Zhao Yuci.

Of course he had his people in the Ministry of Revenue, but he usually did not move, so the few spies he had were regarded as neutral. Compared with the people planted in the Ministry of Revenue by the prince's party, they had a much easier life and it was easier for them to get information.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince has never been concerned with the affairs of the court. Why is he here to help His Highness the Crown Prince now?" Jiang Shanru is also a cautious old fox. Naturally, he is skeptical of Zhao Yuci, with whom he has little contact.

Especially the last case of smuggling iron ore, which was handled by Zhao Yuci personally, and the case was even traced back to the prince.

At that time, Jiang Shanru also took a lot of effort to clean up the mess for the prince. At that time, he once suspected whether Zhao Yuci had colluded with the Sixth Prince.

However, Zhao Yuci later remained low-key and did not fight or compete, and did not take sides, which made Jiang Shanru dispel some of his doubts. She thought that Zhao Yuci must have simply wanted to do a good job at the time, so he investigated carefully.

But now that Zhao Yuci suddenly showed goodwill, it made people suspicious.

Jiang Shanru knew very well how Concubine Gao Shu and the Gao family disappeared, although she didn't know whether Zhao Yuci, who was raised by Concubine Wen, knew the truth.

But what if Zhao Yuci knew the cause of his biological mother's death?

However, Zhao Yuci dispelled Jiang Shanru's doubts with just one sentence.

"Prince Rui is suspicious, hypocritical and narrow-minded by nature. If he ascends the throne, I'm afraid I won't be able to live a carefree life like this anymore."

This Rui Jun Wang refers to the Sixth Prince Zhao Yucheng. It's funny to say that the Sixth Prince is younger, but he has been conferred the title of Jun Wang, while Zhao Yuci is still a bald prince and has not yet been conferred the title.

Jiang Shanru had been dealing with the Sixth Prince for many years, so he naturally knew his temperament.

In his opinion, what Zhao Yuci said was too light. The Sixth Prince was such a person that he would have to kill all the other princes under the Emperor and make him the only one who could legitimately inherit the throne before he would be able to sit on the throne with peace of mind.

Compared with the two, the prince is indeed much easier to deal with.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the prince is more broad-minded, but the prince is more stubborn and self-righteous. He will not take Zhao Yuci seriously and will not pay any attention to him. In this way, Zhao Yuci will just be an idle prince in the future, and of course he will be happy and comfortable.

Besides, the prince is now embroiled in legal battles and really needs Zhao Yuci's help this time, so Jiang Shanru has no choice but to agree.

About seven or eight days later, things took a turn for the better.

First of all, the Sixth Prince's father-in-law, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had dirty hands. When old accounts were dug up, it was found that he had embezzled a lot of money and also filled the Sixth Prince's pocket. This time, he was suspected of deliberately guiding his officials to embezzle money.

Another thing is that those officials who were close to the prince and embezzled the disaster relief money took the money but did not give it to the prince, and the prince was unaware of it.

It doesn’t matter whether the prince knew about it or not. Anyway, the evidence and testimony collected by the Jiang family can prove that the prince is innocent, and that is enough.

At the same time, one of the new favorites in the harem sent to the emperor was diagnosed with pregnancy by the imperial physician. Before the emperor had time to be happy, the new favorite met Concubine Qian while relaxing in the imperial garden. For some unknown reason, she was slapped in the face by Concubine Qian's personal maid. Soon after returning, she had a miscarriage. The imperial physician said it was caused by shock and fear.

For this reason, the emperor was furious and punished Concubine Qian by putting her under house arrest. She was not allowed to go out without being summoned and was not allowed to see the Sixth Prince.

Being attacked from both sides, the situation suddenly changed and the Sixth Prince was killed unexpectedly.

The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince were both involved in a corruption case. Naturally, the Emperor could not punish both sons at the same time, so he had to slap each of them and let the matter go.

The two of them quarreled so much that Zhao Yuci, the fifth prince, seemed less worried. Seeing that the autumn hunt would begin in less than three months, the Sixth Prince was originally in charge of it, but now that he had been punished, the Emperor handed the matter over to Zhao Yuci.

Zhao Yuci had not expected that this matter would fall upon him.

In fact, this was indeed the case in the previous life. The Crown Prince was embroiled in a corruption scandal and lost the emperor's favor, while the Sixth Prince was particularly prominent. It was precisely because the Crown Prince was weak that it was easier for the Sixth Prince to carry out a secret plan, which almost caused the Crown Prince to die in the hunting ground.

Now that Zhao Yuci is the one organizing the autumn hunt, things will probably change.

So after Chen Zhi got the news, he immediately started thinking about how to make good use of this opportunity to help Zhao Yuci profit.

If there is solid evidence that the Sixth Prince murdered the Crown Prince, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Sixth Prince.

But how should he tell Zhao Yuci? He couldn't just tell Zhao Yuci directly that he was reborn.

He would probably be treated as a mysterious person and kicked out, and no one would listen to him.

After much thought, Chen Zhi decided to find some clues on his own first and then report to Zhao Yuci.

If one wants to assassinate the crown prince, he must do it flawlessly and without being noticed. The Sixth Prince must have started making arrangements long ago. Now that the Autumn Hunt is less than three months away, he must have already taken action.
