I have a system to assist

Chapter 137 Imprisoning the prince and demoting the imperial concubine (third update)
There was a loud bang, and the private artillery workshop exploded. This was the first bang since the Spring Festival, and it could be said to echo back and forth with the bang from the altar a few years ago.

"The movement is really fast." Ye Cao smiled slightly when she heard the sound and felt the tremor on the ground.

King Yu was very efficient in handling affairs, he only revealed the news about the private cannon workshop to him in the morning, and he ordered people to set fire to it in the afternoon.

The arsonist was arranged by his confidant guard 'Ye Xiao', and coincidentally, the 'thief' who went to set the fire was the person from Sanye.

King Yu gave the prince a bomb, but he didn't know he also planted a bomb for himself.

"Is that direction the Private Cannon Workshop?" Mei Changsu got up suddenly when he heard the noise.

"It's the direction of Private Cannon Square." Li Gang replied.

"Send someone to have a look, and inform the brothers in the medicine hall to come to help. If they can save one, it's one."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." Li Gang accepted the order, and hurried down to order people to do things.

When Shen Zhui heard the explosion, his heart skipped a beat, followed by deep self-blame.

Why did it explode at this time, obviously tomorrow I can write a letter to His Majesty.Why don't you be faster, if you are faster, this kind of thing won't happen.

"Come here, prepare the car!" Shen Zhui went out of the house for the second time this time, and he went straight to the household department. He was in charge of money and food, and needed to gather all the disaster relief supplies.

In addition to Mei Changsu and Shen Zhui, Yin Gaosheng of Jingzhao Mansion, Patrol Battalion, and Prince Jing's Mansion all responded, after all, this voice was too familiar.

The moment he heard the noise, Gao Sheng rushed to the scene of the crime with the yamen servants. He almost arrived with Prince Jing and his soldiers, but the patrol battalion was the last to arrive.

"It exploded! Why did it explode?" The prince angrily scolded the officials of the household department, "Didn't I tell you to stop?" He jumped up anxiously.

"The private cannon shop has been shut down for a long time, but for some reason, it suddenly exploded. Your Highness, what should I do, Your Highness." The heart of the household official was pounding.

"Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace." The prince panicked, and hurried into the palace to ask for help from Concubine Yue.

"You are the prince, how can you be so greedy for profit!" Yue Guifei heard the prince cry, she really hated iron but not steel.

"Mother Concubine, it's not my fault. The old five is pressing hard, I spend too much money. What should I do now, Mother Concubine." The prince wagged his tail and begged for mercy, like a doll begging for milk.

"I remember a few imperial envoys, who appeared to be King Yu, but were actually bought by you. Ask them to impeach you, even if they say something about deposing the prince." Concubine Yue broke the heart of the woman.

"Ah, concubine mother, do you want to abolish me?"

"Idiot, Shen Zhui already knows about this matter, and I can't hide it anymore. What you need to do now is to convince your suspicious father that the explosion in the private cannon workshop was caused by King Yu, and it was caused by party disputes."

"Only in this way can you have a chance of survival. Have you forgotten that your father is still afraid of the explosion of the altar years ago." Yue Guifei explained.

"It's the concubine mother, the child will go right away." The prince understood it, and immediately ordered the imperial envoys to jointly impeach him.

Ye house.

"How about the casualties of the explosion?" Ye Cao asked Clover.

"The private artillery workshop was razed to the ground as soon as the explosion occurred. The fire burned the entire street and affected more than 90 households. According to rough statistics, at least 200 people died. If the "fire master" did not put out the fire in time, there should be even more Casualties." Yotsuba reported accordingly.

"How did the parties react?" The death and injury of more than 200 people was nothing to Ye Cao.

There are thousands of deaths on the battlefield at every turn, but the people in Kyoto feel that the situation is shocking and tragic because they have been at peace for a long time.

"Yin Gaosheng of the Jingzhao Mansion has opened a case for investigation; Shen Zhui has written to Emperor Liang about the private cannon workshop."

"Prince Yu is happy in the mansion now, and the gloom has disappeared in recent days; Xie Yu tried his best to cover up the clues of the private cannon workshop, but because the servants of the Jingzhao Mansion arrived first, he couldn't clean it up." Yotsuba was like an emotionless Extremely, reporting the situation.

"Where's Mei Changsu?" Others can ignore it, but for Mei Changsu, Ye Cao still deserves some snacks.

"After Mei Changsu went to the scene, he went to Prince Yu's mansion and suggested that Prince Yu should not take the opportunity to attack the prince. From the obedient words, he should have guessed that Prince Yu sent someone to set up the private cannon shop." Clover said in detail , after all, Mei Changsu is the focus of attention.

It's a pity that Mei Changsu only sees Prince Yu, the prince, and Prince Jing now, but he can't see other people or things.

It's not that it's not smart enough, it's blinding one's eyes.

The palace, the imperial study.

Here only Emperor Liang and the Crown Prince, Shen Zhui and King Yu were waiting outside the door, Emperor Liang did not let them in at all.

"Prince, are you guilty!" Emperor Liang asked majesticly.

"My son is guilty, but my son's command is not strict, and I hope my father will punish me." The prince knelt on the ground.

The crown prince, who is a dignified prince of a country, will not personally participate in such a small matter as opening a private artillery workshop. It has always been a Zhan Shi in the mansion who is in touch with the household department, and he only eats money behind the scenes.

"So you don't know about it."

"I really don't know, father." The crown prince knocked his head on the ground.

"Bastard, you still dare to quibble now! Do you think I'm stupid?" Emperor Liang directly shouted the memorial of Shen Zhui to the prince's face.

Emperor Liang scolded angrily: "Lou Zhijing gets three percent of the profit, and your Zhan Shi gets seven percent of the profit. If you weren't behind your orders, no one in the world would believe it!"

"My son, my son..." The prince didn't know what to say at this time.

"Let me ask you, is the explosion of the altar related to you?" Emperor Liang suddenly changed the subject.

For Emperor Liang, it doesn't matter how many people are killed or injured, his own safety is the most important thing.

When the crown prince heard this, his body froze immediately, his eyes widened, and he kowtowed like garlic: "Father, you are wronged! You are wronged, father, no matter how daring my son is, I dare not assassinate my father."

Poor him, the dignified crown prince, forcibly kowtowed himself in the imperial study.

In a disguised form, the prince has already acknowledged the matter of the private cannon workshop.

Just kidding, running a private cannon workshop is just greedy for profit, even if someone kills his dignified prince, there will be no fear of his life.

If it is possible to assassinate Emperor Liang, it would be treason, and it would be Ling Chi, and he could clearly see Yan Que's fate.He didn't even dare to recall that scene.

"It's the same black fire, the same official ship, the same power, how can you make me trust you? Hmm~" Emperor Liang's eyes are very poisonous, more poisonous than a tiger.

"Father, don't, don't, father..." Seeing Emperor Liang's eyes, the prince almost died of fright.

"Come here! According to the decree, the crown prince lost his morality, and he will be imprisoned in Guijia Palace first, and then deal with it. His mother, the Yue family, has no way to teach her son, so she was relegated to concubine."

"Father, there are really no sons!" The prince was dragged along, complaining all the way.

The crown prince really doesn't know Emperor Liang very well. To him, it doesn't matter whether he has it or not, what matters is the ability to do it.

If the skill is high, the master can be killed.

"Gao Zhan, drive to Zhiluo Palace."

Zhiluo Palace is the residence of King Jing's biological mother, Jingpin, who has never been there since the Red Flame Army defeated Emperor Liang.

The fact that Emperor Liang went here today was not a whim, but a long-planned plan.

Originally, he thought that Prince Yu was about to fall, and he needed to support a newcomer to fight against the prince, so as to maintain the balance in the court.Unexpectedly, it was the crown prince who was in full swing who couldn't hold on first.

The reason why he didn't depose the crown prince today is just to leave some time for this newcomer, or just say 'Prince Jing' to rise up.

The south wind in the Chaotang is going to turn to the southwest.
