Twin Brocade

Chapter 624
But Wei Yixin in this life is completely different from Empress Cao in the past. Fang Jinshu is not sure what she will do.

In Luoyang City, it was a whole day of excitement.

The assassin's assassination failed at night, and when he was captured, it became a topic of discussion among the people in the city.But Fang Jinshu knew that there was danger hidden in it.

Si Lansheng in Fang's mansion also heard the news of the assassination, and couldn't help but sweat for Mrs. Fang who was in the palace.

She only knew that there were assassins, and no one knew whether they would endanger the family members of the ordered women who were on pilgrimage in the palace.This worry was finally let go when Mrs. Fang came back from the palace.

As May passed, the weather became hotter and hotter day by day, but the climate became very abnormal.

When it should rain, it never rains.Entering June, it changed from the initial downpour to continuous drizzle, which lasted for half a month without stopping all day long.

In such rain, the open and secret struggle between King Qi and the prince gradually surfaced, but the final conflict focused on Xu Wanzhen.

In order to gain the support of Duke Anguo's government, the crown prince wanted to make Xu Wanzhen his concubine to Shi Jingze, the prince of Duke Anguo; in order to win over Fan Bin, the adoptive son of General Zhenxi, King Qi proposed to marry Xu Wanzhen for Fan Bin.

For a while, Xu Wanzhen was on the cusp.

All this happened in the previous life. In the end, Wu Zhengxiang took the initiative to resolve the situation, and managed to get Mrs. An Guogong to accept Xu Wanzhen as a righteous daughter. He also asked Queen Mother Xiao's decree to marry her, and rewarded her with a five-rank pleasant decree.

In just a few words, the danger hidden in it is self-evident.

In the previous life, Fang Jinshu only knew about this after the fact.A merchant woman, from a commoner to a righteous daughter of the Duke's wife, and then to a pleasant person of five ranks.It just sounds incredible.

Now that Fang Jinshu is in it, seeing all this happening, he feels more and more that Xu Wan's experience is really strange.

And Empress Cao in the palace launched a counterattack against the prince step by step.

The whole set of strategies was prepared by Princess Zhaoyang, and she was in the middle of the arrangement. The king of Chu was in charge of the news channel, and Qin Suxi, the son of Qin Youcheng from the household department and known as the son of Suxi in Beijing, successfully set up a scheme to lure the prince to take the bait.

Qin Youcheng reported to Dali Temple to find Qin Suxi's trace, but he found the prince's other courtyard, and ran into the scene where his son was molested.

Therefore, he risked his life to sue in front of the imperial court and demanded that the prince be severely punished.

Emperor Qinglong was furious and grounded the prince.

Then, on the ensuing birthday of Empress Dowager Xiao, the concubine entered the palace to intercede for the prince, which made Emperor Qinglong even more displeased.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Zhaoyang took advantage of the great opportunity of the Empress Dowager's birthday, and single-handedly planned a major event in which everyone in Yushitai knelt in front of Duanmen to impeach and admonish the crown prince.

Among the crimes listed by the censor: the prince manipulated the buying and selling of officials, placed people in the court, greedy for money and seized property, condoned evil slaves to hurt people's lives;

These are all evidence of the prince's crimes that Empress Cao has been secretly collecting.

The case of Qin Suxi is the best opportunity to trigger all this.Private morality is not a big crime for the prince.But because of Qin Suxi's status, it can most arouse the hatred of the courtiers, and reflect on whether the prince can really be the heir apparent of the country.

Princess Zhaoyang was outside the palace, so she could see the changes in the situation more clearly.Therefore, he made a decisive decision and threw out all the chips, just to give Qi Wang Bo a chance to win.

With Yu Shi taking the lead in impeachment, the situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent.Some pleaded for the crown prince, some took advantage of the chaos to sue, and some fished in troubled waters for personal gain.

The status of the prince is really threatened.

Guan Jinghuan, who saw all these changes in his eyes, judged the situation and thought that his best time had come.Go to the prince's mansion in person, meet the prince in secret, and send his confidant, Mr. Tian, ​​to advise the prince.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Qinglong felt tired for the first time in his life while looking at the stack of memorials about the crown prince's abolition.

For the first time, the matter of seizing the heirloom was publicly put on the court.

"Princess Zhaoyang asks to see the emperor." A eunuch reported outside the door.

Princess Zhaoyang?

Emperor Qinglong knew in his heart that the instigator of all this was Princess Zhaoyang.

Even though the prince's character is unbearable, he is definitely not a manly person.No matter how Qin Suxi attracted the covetousness of men in Beijing, she shouldn't be the prince.

A shadow guard came to investigate, and all the clues pointed to Princess Zhaoyang.

Emperor Qinglong didn't say anything, he was only concerned about Empress Cao's hard work in bearing children for him, and Princess Zhaoyang's decision to marry Khitan.

"Xuan."

Princess Zhaoyang is dressed in a men's attire, her black hair is tucked into a jade crown, her bright eyes look forward, and she looks heroic as she walks.

"Zhaoyang has seen Father. The purpose of coming here today is to plead guilty to Father." Her eyes were clear and frank.

The method she used was a conspiracy.She had no hope of hiding the news in Luoyang City from Emperor Qinglong when she was making small calculations in front of her father.Simply retreat to advance and plead guilty first.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at her indifferently: "You framed the emperor's brother and instigated the courtiers to write a letter of impeachment, which caused the court to be uneasy and people's hearts to be unstable."

"According to family affairs, you disrespect your elder brother, and set up a frame to frame him, so you can be punished. According to state affairs, you form a party for personal gain, and impeach the prince to shake the foundation of the country. Plead guilty? Can you bear the responsibility for this?"

Speaking of the latter, he spoke harshly, exuding a chilling dragon power.

The air in the imperial study was almost stagnant, and a needle could be heard.The little eunuch who was serving in the room lowered his head a little lower and held his breath, not daring to take a breath.

Princess Zhaoyang was unmoved, and said loudly: "Father, Zhaoyang is at fault, but the fault is not in impeaching the prince. That's right, I set up a frame to frame Qin Suxi's case. But if he didn't do it first, he would frame Chu Wang Xianxian, how could he get into my game?"

"He has a lack of personal morality and is violent and unpredictable. Zhaoyang showed his true form after just a small test. How can such a prince be a king in the future?"

Zhaoyang talked eloquently: "What's more, he amasses money wantonly, competes with the people for profit, looks ugly and has ulterior motives. Once he ascends the throne, will my mother, stepfather and elder brother be slaughtered by him? Zhaoyang can still escape death by marrying Khitan far away, but Qi The king, the king of Chu, who is he?"

Following her words, Emperor Qinglong's face became more and more ugly.These are all things that are deeply worrying in his heart, and he is even more annoyed when his daughter speaks out so bluntly.

Princess Zhaoyang knelt down and said: "Zhaoyang is guilty. The crime is that he can't share the worries of the father and make you angry. But won't such a prince of the country be manipulated by powerful officials in the future? What else can he do?

Without making a fuss, she put some eye drops on Guan Jinghuan.

"If Zhaoyang doesn't say these words, no one will say them; if Zhaoyang doesn't do these things, no one will do them. Father is worried about state affairs, day and night, it is inevitable that he will be negligent to the prince. Zhaoyang just wants to talk to father. Share your worries."

"Then according to what you said, what should we do?" Emperor Qinglong asked in a deep voice, hiding his anger.
