Invincible son

Chapter 632 631

On the right side of the main hall, four adult princes stood at the front of the Wu Xun relatives and nobles.

The eldest prince is still at the head of the four, even though he is no longer King Lu, Emperor Kaiping did not adjust the ranking of the princes.In many people's eyes, this is His Majesty's preference for the eldest prince, but only a few people can see through the deep meaning of this arrangement.

Liu Xian's face was calm and calm, recalling Wu Guifei's exhortations in his mind.

After the assassination broke out, Concubine Wu's situation seemed to have become very embarrassing. Her own prince was demoted to be the general of the country, and Princess Pingyang was confined to the palace for a year, as if she lost the emperor's favor in an instant.There has never been a shortage of villains in the palace who see the wind and step on the high and the low, but before these people can turn the wind, Emperor Kaiping actually went to bed at the Jingren Palace of Concubine Wu that night.

Concubine Wu Gui's seemingly precarious position was immediately stabilized, and no one knew about her conversation with Emperor Kaiping that night.

Yesterday afternoon, she summoned Liu Xian into Jingren Palace, looking at this son who lost his prince because of his sister's crime, Concubine Wu Guifei did not reprimand him harshly.After stepping away from the screen, she said in a complicated tone: "Xian'er, it is for your own good that Your Majesty deposes you from the position of prince."

Liu Xian was stunned, an unnatural smile appeared on his face, he nodded and said: "Mother and concubine, my servants understand."

Although she is over [-] years old, Concubine Wu Gui is still well-maintained, with a graceful and luxurious temperament against a charming and natural face, but at this time she frowned slightly, and said slowly: "You don't understand, and you don't need it." clear."

Liu Xian looked at Concubine Wu Gui's slightly disappointed expression, and suddenly sighed: "Mother Concubine, Ning Fengzhi is dead."

Concubine Wu Gui was taken aback for a moment, and a surprise appeared in her heart, and she asked hastily, "Have you really figured it out?"

Liu Xian paid respects and said earnestly: "I have been thinking quietly in the mansion for the past few days, and I finally figured out the whole story of this matter, and I also understand that the father and emperor did not really abandon my son. Mother and concubine, in fact, my son has nothing in his heart. The meaning of resentment and hope is that Pingyang is not angry about me, the elder brother. Pei Yue did not kill him, and his father kept his son and minister everywhere. The only fault in the whole thing is the son himself. If Pei Yue has conflicts, the following things will not happen. If the son can learn the knowledge of his father, he will not be deceived by people like Ning Fengzhi, and he will not be reduced to a knife in the hands of others."

He smiled wryly, and sighed: "Thousands of mistakes, all of which are my own faults."

The corners of Concubine Wu Gui's eyes were moist, she stepped forward to help Liu Xian up, and said with emotion: "Xian'er has really improved."

Liu Xian said in shame: "My son and minister are not filial, and these years have made my father and mother bother."

Concubine Wu Gui patted the back of his hand lightly, shook her head and said: "You are His Majesty's eldest prince, and you have to walk the bright road in your actions. As long as you can keep your own heart, then no one can harm you."

"Yes."

"Also, at the court meeting tomorrow, no matter what happens, don't open your mouth to argue. You just need to obey your father's will in everything."

"My son, keep it in mind."

……

In Chengtian Palace.

After discussing several major military and political issues at the court meeting, Yuan Keli, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out to play and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Emperor Kaiping said blankly, "Say it."

Yuan Keli lowered his head slightly, his eyes seemed helpless, but he could feel those eyes staring at him from a distance behind him, so he could only think about it: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households has recently inspected the accounts of the Taiping Bank as usual, and found that Shen Shixin, the doctor in the trial office, found that there was something wrong with one of the accounts. He informed the minister of the matter, and after checking and confirming it repeatedly, the minister believed that it should be reported to His Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping swept his eyes across the officials and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Keli only felt a burst of fine cold sweat on his back, and said bravely: "The Ministry of Household Affairs discovered that in the accounts of the Taiping Bank, someone had deposited a total of 8000 taels of silver in installments for six consecutive years. The executed prisoner, Ning Fengzhi."

There was gradually a commotion in the hall.

Yuan Keli felt Emperor Kaiping's stern gaze on his face, and said with difficulty: "I rushed to the Taiping Bank last night, and after confirming with the bank's chief manager, I found out that the money was not deposited by Ning Fengzhi himself, but by Ning Fengzhi himself. It's someone else."

In the Wu Xun class, Pei Yue stared at the gold brick ground at his feet, and sighed inwardly.

Until this moment, he still couldn't understand what the fourth prince was doing.

Even if King Yan could really take advantage of this assassination to bring down the eldest prince and the second prince, what good would it do him?A king like Emperor Kaiping would never be coerced by others, not to mention he has six sons, even if all these sons are gone, he can have a few more.

As for whether the real culprit of this matter is the fourth prince, it is not important to the emperor at all, because he does not need evidence, as long as he sees who the ultimate beneficiary is, he can wield the sword of the emperor.

Yuan Keli noticed that there was no movement above, so he raised his head cautiously, only to see Emperor Kaiping looking at him indifferently, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, the person who deposited the silver for Ning Fengzhi was named Qian Yong, and he was a silk and satin master from the Xicheng family. Zhuang's owner."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of some of the princes standing on the right changed suddenly.

The second prince, the eldest son of Emperor Kaiping, Qi Wang Liu Yun.

Princess Qi Qian's family name is Qian Yong.

In fact, during this period of time, Liu Yun's life has been quite comfortable. The sixth prince suddenly became very honest, and no longer provoked troubles like before.The boss was involved in the assassination case, not only lost the prince, but also his reputation plummeted.Seeing the fall of his biggest opponent on the road to crown prince, if Liu Yun hadn't been worried about being suspected by Emperor Kaiping, he would have celebrated in the mansion long ago.

Unexpectedly, after the dust settled, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs would have an unexpected incident. What shocked him the most was that this incident was related to Qian Yong. What did that idiot do behind his back?
As if feeling the gaze of the middle-aged man on the dragon chair, Liu Yun involuntarily had beads of sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Following Yuan Keli's disclosure of Ningfeng's deposit of 8000 taels of silver to the public, Chengtian Palace seemed to be in boiling water.

After a brief period of confusion, more than a dozen civil servants came out to report immediately, pointing out that there was something hidden about the eldest prince's assassination of Pei Yue, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that a down-and-out Ning Fengzhi had so much savings.It is very likely that he was instructed by someone to secretly manipulate the guards of Prince Lu's mansion to assassinate Pei Yue in the name of the eldest prince, but in fact it was to frame the eldest prince.

Liu Xian stared blankly at those civil servants who had never been in touch with each other before speaking out for him. This bizarre scene made him suddenly realize the true meaning of Wu Guifei's exhortation yesterday.

It's just that from the beginning to the end, no one revealed Qian Yong's true identity.
