Chapter 213: Several Princes in the Horse Farm Had Accidents
The great monk Liangran regretted not removing the evil from the Crown Prince himself, and cast a scrutinizing gaze on the face of the retired emperor. "You will be retaliated against. The evil you have done in the past will make you realize how wrong you are."
The emperor will not admit his mistakes.
"Humph. If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die. Besides, I am both the father and the king."
"You keep talking tough. God has kept you alive so that you can see the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed in your hands. And also so that you can see your children, each one is worse than the other."
"presumptuous."
"I have been acting insolently in front of you for more than just one day. Are you going to burn down my temple?" Monk Liangran was fearless.
The emperor was so angry that his chest hurt.
I could only beat my chest over and over again.
An old eunuch with gray hair asked through the carriage curtain:
"Your Majesty. Shall I go get a doctor?"
Liao Ran replied coldly:
"Don't bother. Your master won't die any time soon."
The old eunuch did not dare to relax at all and begged for mercy, "Prince Li, please consider our emperor's age and don't say these hurtful words.
The emperor dreamed of the Crown Prince several times, and he really regretted his decision that day. If the Crown Prince had spoken more softly, the father and son would not have been taken advantage of by others.
Our Emperor has suffered in this life because he is easily deceived. He is a very kind person. "
The monk Liangran was still moving the beads in his hand.
He opened his eyes upon hearing that.
"Old bastard. Stop flattering him."
The old eunuch crawled in with a frown on his face and begged for mercy:
"Let me serve the Emperor."
Master Liangran said nothing more.
When the old eunuch looked again, he saw that the retired emperor had fainted, and his hands were shaking with fear.
"Ruined."
"Can't die."
The old eunuch frowned and said, "Prince Li, why are you doing this?"
"I am a monk, so what is the use of being a prince or not?" The great monk Liangran stroked his beard, "The Great Zhou is in trouble. The current emperor is afraid of the military commanders and allows his subordinates to murder them.
Follow the same path your master took.
I brought him back to the capital not to kill him, but to allow him to pick up the pieces. If the emperor continues to mess around like this, how many years can the Great Zhou prosper?"
"Do you think you can achieve border stability by relying solely on marriage alliances?"
"The retired emperor left behind a few old ministers for the emperor." The old eunuch sighed. He had been loyal all his life and only cared about the safety of the retired emperor.
In the past, he also hoped that Crown Prince Li would inherit the throne.
"Without Minister Su, Secretary Shen is too slick and only cares about the glory of the Shen family. As for Bo Luohui? He will inevitably be alone and powerless." The great monk Liangran closed his eyes. "The death of Crown Prince Li is a misfortune for the Great Zhou and the people."
"Su Zhixun's death will only accelerate the demise of the Great Zhou."
The old eunuch was almost in tears.
"Prince Li, in my mind, you are still the brilliant Prince Li. You have to help the Emperor."
Master Liangran closed his eyes.
He calculated it.
Only when blood is shed in the capital can the throne of the Great Zhou be preserved.
otherwise……
The people of the Great Zhou shed blood.
Shang Yan went to Changle Book House again today, and he and Dou Wenyuan went to drink.
Met Lin Daqing.
Lin Daqing now works in the Ministry of Revenue, so when he sees Shang Yan he naturally bows obediently.
"Commander Shang."
"Lord Lin. I heard that you have become the son-in-law of Prince Consort Gu's mansion."
"No match for Commander Shang, who married my former sister-in-law."
Shang Yan touched the jade ring on his hand and said, "I almost called you my brother-in-law. Now, Lu Yanfu is my brother-in-law. He is a little older than you, but he is more courageous than you."
Shang Yan handed the hot and wet towel from the maid next to him to wipe his hands.
After wiping it, he threw it directly on the ground.
Lin Daqing gritted his teeth and was secretly angry, but he didn't dare to show it.
"Humph. Just an old man."
"Do you have the guts to say this in front of Lu Yanfu?"
"Of course I dare."
Lin Daqing went to the next room and someone closed the door after he entered.
Shang Yan entered the house.
Dou Wenyuan said cautiously:
"Should I ask Xiao Taohong to come over?"
"roll."
"Okay. I'll go out and pick a few people first." Dou Wenyuan went out quickly.
Shang Yan sat in the corner.
He touched a spot in the corner with his hand, lifted up a hanging painting, and removed a brick.
The sound of conversation from the next room came over.
"emperor."
"Lin Daqing. Do you have something to ask me?"
Lin Daqing knelt down and whispered something.
The emperor's expression became solemn.
Shang Yan listened for a while, then got up and restored the place to its original state. Then he left Changle Book House and returned to Jinyiwei.
Just arrived at Jinyiwei.
Someone came hurriedly.
"Commander-in-chief, something serious has happened."
"whats the matter?"
"Some of the princes had an accident at the horse farm." Eshi said, "Yao Tongzhi has already gone to the horse farm. He said that people from the Dali Temple have also gone there."
"Walk."
Xijiao Racecourse is the royal racecourse.
On weekdays, the princes rode horses and hunted at the stables.
This time, several princes were attacked by unknown persons inside. According to the imperial guards, the third prince had an accident while hunting.
The imperial guards rushed over to rescue the third prince.
Then the screams of several other princes were heard.
Except for the fifth prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince were all seriously injured.
The fifth prince was furious.
He angrily scolded the counselors around him:
"They are all useless. How come they were attacked, and I am the only one who is safe and sound."
"Fifth Prince. Being safe is also a good thing."
"What will my father think of me? What will my brothers think of me when they wake up? The censors in the Censorate will think that I can't wait to get rid of my brothers. I won't be able to explain myself clearly even if I have a point."
The fifth prince angrily kicked the sapling next to him.
After calming down.
He thought about it carefully, "Who is plotting against me? Could it be Old Six?"
"Or is it Old Seven?"
The fifth prince first sowed the seeds of suspicion on several brothers who did not come, and he was eager to find out the person who framed him.
The counselor's eyes darkened.
"Fifth Prince, the people in the Censorate are too busy to impeach you right now. At most, they will impeach all of you. The King of Mobei is dead, and Xie Zheng has not been caught yet.
Mobei lost another city, and even Yingzui Pass was occupied by Xiliang.
The Censorate was busy impeaching several officials including the Earl of Jing'an who had ill will towards General Su, and they also wanted the emperor to withdraw the idea of using the bodies of General Su and the soldiers as a formation."
The fifth prince was even more panicked.
Such a troubled time.
How did he come up with the idea of hunting?
The fifth prince always feels that there is a hand pushing things forward. Who is it?
"go back."
He shouted loudly, mounted his horse first and was about to leave.
Just arrived at the entrance of the racecourse.
Shang Yan brought people over and ordered that no one was allowed to enter or leave. No one was allowed to leave at will.
Fifth Prince: "..."
"Commander Shang, I have something important to do and need to return."
Shang Yan took out the Jinyiwei token in his hand and said, "Jinyiwei is doing business, you are not allowed to leave at will."
Say it.
Shang Yancai looked at the Fifth Prince calmly, "Fifth Prince, what's the urgent matter that has you leaving so quickly? I heard that several seriously injured princes are in danger of death, and the imperial doctors are doing their best to save them.
If the Fifth Prince leaves now, I suspect you might..."
"How dare you." The Fifth Prince was furious: "You are a eunuch, and you suspect me of killing my brother."
A hint of coldness appeared on Shang Yan's lips.
"Eunuchs are also human beings. Does the Fifth Prince look down on eunuchs?" Shang Yan's words were filled with a hint of mockery. The people following Shang Yan were from the palace, and they just lowered their heads indifferently when they heard what he said.
"Shang Yan, will you move aside?"
"I won't allow it."
Shang Yanqi leaned forward and said slowly:
"Fifth Prince, are you anxious now? The best is yet to come. I don't suspect you of killing other princes. But...what if the people around other princes suspect you?"
"There is a victim and there are witnesses. I must handle this impartially."
Shang Yan's Jinyiwei took the fifth prince back to the stable and waited.
The people in the Fifth Prince's Mansion drew their swords.
The Jinyiwei people took out their embroidered spring swords one after another.
"Anyone who dares to hinder the Jinyiwei from investigating the case will be killed without mercy." Yao Tongzhi came down from the mountain and looked at Shang Yan. The people around him surrounded the fifth prince.
The fifth prince sneered:
"Okay. Go back."
He looked at Shang Yan deeply, and he remembered this grudge.
The emperor was unaware of this matter while in his study in Changle.
The people in the palace didn't know where the emperor was.
The retired emperor and the monk Liangran entered the palace, but could not find the emperor.
The whole palace.
The emperor could not be found.
The retired emperor called several old ministers of Shen Zhongshu, and also looked for Shang Yan of Jinyiwei.
Busy with horse farm matters.
Shang Yan left Yao Tongzhi to handle the matter and hurried into the palace.
"Kneel down."
