Inheritance policy

Chapter 147 Implicated

The prince fell into the water, this incident broke the sky, not to mention that there are only three princes under the current emperor's knees, and one of them suffers from leg problems!
The emperor got angry and lay dead for thousands of miles.

Before the emperor had time to investigate, he made great efforts to rescue them. He searched one by one along the banks of the Chen River for five miles and ten miles, and finally found the traces of the sixth prince Zhou Shen and Li Lingqing in the downstream, soaking in the water. The prince had a high fever for two days and one night, and the doctor refused to let him move the place, so the emperor allocated the old mansion for the two to take care of.

Jiangnan has always been a land of wealth and prosperity, and the waterlogging and dikes are not solid, which made the blood of the Tian family encounter this difficulty. For a while, everyone in the officialdom in Jiangnan was in danger.

Empress Fang couldn't control matters above the temple. She could only restrain the sixth palace before the news of finding the sixth prince had reached the palace—the people in the palace were very powerful. The gate of the palace was almost broken by people who came to the door with eight-color gift boxes. During the morning ceremony, Empress Fang severely reprimanded several concubines, "Keep your eyelids open! There is no wind, no waves, you are just watching the excitement." I think it's a big deal. If there is another disturbance in the palace, everyone will pack up and go to Huanyiyuan!".

The words were serious, so naturally some people were dissatisfied and others cried. A few beauties went to find the emperor crying, but they were scolded back by the emperor.

One incident after another, originally there were still rumors in the palace that Empress Fang was so angry that Mrs. Gu was sick, but when the emperor still believed in Empress Fang, the rumors were self-defeating.As far as Fengyi Palace is concerned, it was a blessing in disguise.

Xing Zhaosu crossed his hands, took Jiang Mingying's hand, and followed Queen Fang, walking in the corridor of the Chonghua Palace in September. Concubine Lu Shu was a very quiet and elegant person, except for the red walls, glazed green tiles, and turned left. Out of the veranda, there are a few small red mud buildings that come into view, loose fences, winding stone paths, clear water walls, red crimson tiles, like some squire’s country courtyard, not solemn and solemn. The Yeting Inner Palace.

Xing Zhao was wearing his mother's funeral, he didn't dare to wear red or green, and walking in this Chonghua palace in plain clothes would complement each other.

As soon as he entered the inner room, Huan Yibian greeted him with red eye circles. He first bowed to Queen Fang in a crying voice, "The empress forgives the sin, the mother and concubine can't get up, and she is lying in the inner room." Putting it on the inside, the curtain was blown up by the wind, and through the cracks, you could vaguely see Concubine Lu Shu's appearance.

The teary-eyed man leaned against the edge of the bed, his bright wrist sticking out from under the quilt, and the emerald bracelet on it was empty, and the green light hung on the thin and dull wrist. It's been a long time.

Xing Zhao's heart ached, he quickly bowed his knees and nodded, showing his respect.

Concubine Lu Shu's eyes were blank, and she turned her head stiffly to look over. Seeing that it was Queen Fang, her eye circles immediately turned red.

"Master Dingyun told Lao Liu's fortune-telling, saying that he would never get along with water for the rest of his life. That kid looks gentle and gentle, but he has a very stubborn temper inside. He insisted on going to Taiye Pool to learn water. After two summers, I finally learned it, and the stone in my heart was put down, and now this happened again.”

With lingering fear in her words, Concubine Lu Shu stretched out her hand to pull Empress Fang, and she couldn't stop crying one by one: "I didn't let Lao Liu go, but Lao Liu had to go, saying that he was going to earn a future. I can't hold him back, now he's fine I was fished out of the water, so sick that I couldn’t go back to the palace, I feel at ease! I’m only 14 years old, what a future with small arms and legs! Just live your life slowly, wealth, honor and disgrace are arranged by God What is he fighting for?"

Xing Zhao lowered his head to listen, and suddenly remembered her reaction when she heard the news that the sixth prince fell into the water for the first time that night, and she was flustered.

Yes, flustered.

The sixth prince in the previous life didn't go to the south of the Yangtze River with him, so naturally he wouldn't fall into the water. If it's because of her reliving the whole life, others would not end well, and she wouldn't be at ease for the rest of her life.

The sixth prince stayed in the water for two days and one night, so why didn't she stay up for two days and one night, accompanying Huanyi to the Miaojing Pavilion to copy Buddhist scriptures during the day, and coming to Chonghua Palace to guard Concubine Lu Shu at night, having trouble sleeping and eating all day long Ann, as soon as she fell asleep, she would dream of how the sixth prince handed her the letter that night beside the Taiye Pond, even if she was sleepy, her heart was so sore that she wanted to cry.

Empress Fang only sits in the main courtyard of Chonghua Palace every day, but dare not come in, probably because she doesn't know how to comfort Concubine Shu.

Empress Fang sat on the edge of the bed with a stool, smiling with tears: "Xiao Langjun is willing to fight for his strength, and he is willing to fight with his life. This is the courage of a man. You should be happy. Thanks to the old six's stubbornness, I have to learn Fushui, and I heard from people who reported that the sixth child dragged Master Li to swim for a long time, and the Bodhisattva blessed the Bodhisattva, and it finally turned around."

Queen Fang spoke calmly, but Xing Zhao was terrified when he heard it.

Concubine Shu has a gentle temperament, she doesn't care about the affairs of the court, she only asks when the sixth prince will come back?Are you seriously ill?Can I take a letter with me?

Although Empress Fang has never been a mother, she treats Xinrong and Xingzhao as her own daughters, and she understands Concubine Shu's mood by herself and others. My son comforted me: "The emperor sent people from the Nine City Camp Guards Department to pick them up. We must raise them well before we leave, otherwise the journey will be exhausting. What should we do if there is another good or bad? You can definitely bring a letter. Your Majesty, at night Come here to see you, so please beg your superiors to see if you can send me some more thoughtful things.”

Finding the sixth prince is a very important event for Concubine Lu Shu. As long as her son is fine, she can just care about her happiness.

But Empress Fang didn't think so. As soon as she came back from Chonghua Palace, she closed the door and taught Xing Zhaolai: "When thinking about things and doing things, you have to start from the outside. Think about it carefully, how will the emperor end this matter? "

This is raising Xing Zhao as his son.

"The empress dowager is seriously ill, and the prince is in danger. The anger of the two sides adds up, and the emperor can't be kind." Xing Zhao quickly calmed down from the previous emotions, first gave a conclusion, and then analyzed: "This is the case of the household department. The purpose of going to Jiangnan is to check the innocence of the money on the embankment. The officialdom in Jiangnan has always been protective and closed, but they have not had the courage to murder the emperor’s heir—this is why the emperor acquiesced in allowing the sixth prince to follow Lord Li to go south. The previous report said that it was the sixth The prince was dragged into the water when he was visiting the boat. At that time, only His Excellency Li and a few relatives were present. The trip was decided by chance, and the manpower he brought was always well known. There was no one else on the boat, which also prevented The possibility of murder. If it is not murder, it is a natural disaster. The floods have been flooding for years. The imperial court allocated a lot of money to repair embankments, dredge rivers, and control floods. The irony is that the emperor’s heirs are still suffering from waterlogging when traveling. This is forcing the emperor to go down. Heavy hands to check whether there is corruption in the Jiangnan officialdom. The Jiucheng Yingwei Division has always been the guard of the imperial city, but the emperor sent troops from Jiucheng to pick up the sixth prince and Lord Li, just to be on the safe side. The implication is thought-provoking.”

Empress Fang's eyes are bright, she still clearly remembers how she was at a loss when she first taught the little lady about the government with her hands and feet, but now she is able to talk freely, and she can see the subtleties!

"According to what you mean, the sixth prince's falling into the water was accidental, not man-made?"

Xing Zhao felt more and more that if things were messed up like a mess, it would not work to cut the mess quickly, what would happen after it was cut?Still a tangled mess of threads that didn't help at all.

What she needs to do is hold the thread in her hand and look down bit by bit, and she will always find the end.

"Ah Wu thinks it's accidental, not man-made." Xing Zhao went through his mind, strung together a series of lines, nodded slightly, and gradually became more determined.

"If it's not artificial, then who is the emperor sending the Nine City Camp Guards to guard against?" Queen Fang was persuasive and persuasive.

"When the water is clear, there are no fish. There are many people fishing in muddy water. Liang Pinggong was murdered in the Shanxi Mansion before. It has already sounded the alarm in the emperor's heart. If someone puts his hand in while the water is turbid, it will be more difficult for the emperor to find out." Xing Zhao stood up, who was the emperor defending against?

Who will benefit the most from the death of the sixth prince?
Naturally, it was the second prince.

The dragon chair is close at hand, there are no opponents and obstacles on the road, and it is within reach.

Concubine Wang's background is not obvious, and her mother's family is humble, so will the emperor be so jealous?The quasi-second concubine, Min Jirou, was born in Xinzhong Hou Min's family, a centuries-old noble family, and tied up with the second prince by marriage. Did the emperor think they would help each other and achieve success as a dragon?
Xing Zhao looked up at Queen Fang, with a bright face, and his mother's big eyes were full of encouragement and admiration.

The Nine City Camp Guards is the emperor's personal guard, so tight that no oil can be poured in. No matter how powerful the foreign ministers and generals are, they can't put people in their hands. If they cultivate cronies inside, it's hard to guarantee that the emperor will not guard against the Fang family.
The longer she lived in the palace, the deeper the fear in her heart. She couldn't imagine how Queen Fang had passed through this long time. Your warmth is worth thousands of dollars, but it is also worthless.Everything must be considered in every aspect, and the wrist must be both soft and hard. If you are negligent for a moment, it will be a life.

The emperor had too many people to guard against, and it was impossible to guard against. In the end, even the familiar eyebrows and eyes of the people next to his pillow could be seen to be suspicious.

Xing Zhao pursed his lips with difficulty, then shook his head with difficulty.

Empress Fang's smile deepened, she pulled Xing Zhao over and hugged her in her arms, and said softly, "...I also think it's a coincidence, but the emperor is already afraid of accidents and this drama is bound to happen, so he might as well take precautions earlier, Even Lao Liu and Li Lingqing were not allowed to live in the mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and another site was selected to clean up the old mansion for them to live in. Yingyi's death, Liang Pinggong's death, disappointment with the He family, Gu's serious illness, the emperor realized that they Already old, seizing the heir apparent should be put on the agenda, but the emperor didn't admit that he was old, otherwise, according to his personality, he would secretly send people to guard him, and wait for the people hiding in the muddy water to be unable to hold back and float. Get out of the water."
