In the past, the emperor of Chengde thought that he could take care of everything in the Chengde Dynasty and leave a good country for future generations, but now the ruthless facts have shattered his delusion.

Chen Ju bowed and brought a bowl of decoction, and fed it to Emperor Chengde with a spoon.

After taking a sip, the emperor closed his eyes in pain.

"Those ministers, have you joined the third child?"

Chen Ju nodded and said: "In the past two days, many civil servants in the court criticized His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, saying that he broke the rules in investigating the case."

Speaking of this, Chen Ju paused, and then continued: "These people want Your Majesty to take His Royal Highness Zhao's princely title, and demote him to a commoner..."

Emperor Chengde sneered: "Aren't they saying that?"

Naturally, those civil servants would not speak so frivolously. In fact, what they said was extremely ugly.

They said that the third prince Ji Zhong disregarded the laws of the country, beat and killed officials of the third rank, ignored the court's laws and regulations, and despised the rules of the ancestors. All kinds of hats were put on the third prince's head.

Chen Ju found a memorial and read it over, and the Emperor Chengde sneered, "Why did you beat and kill the minister? Didn't Li Yan die?"

"Your Majesty said yes."

Chen Ju raised his head slowly, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do with these memorials?"

"It's just staying in the middle."

The so-called staying in the middle and not posting it means that these memorials are withheld, neither agreeing nor opposing, which can be regarded as cold treatment in a certain sense. After a long time, the courtiers will naturally know what the emperor means, and they will not bring up the old matter again.

The emperor closed his eyes, and said slowly: "No matter how extreme the third child is, it's all for me. Even if he did something wrong, I will protect him."

"Go back and ask someone to say hello to the third child, and tell him not to go out again during this period, and stay at home to avoid the limelight."

"The old slave knows."

After Emperor Chengde said this, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the eunuch Chen Ju, and said slowly: "We are in Pingnanhou's mansion, is there anyone?"

Chen Ju bowed his head without hesitation.

"Have."

Of course they buried people right in Pingnanhou. In fact, even in the more than 1000 parts of Pingnanhou's mansion, many of them were undercover agents sent by Chen Ju.

The great eunuch Chen Ju bent his body slightly, and said respectfully: "What does His Majesty want them to do, this old slave will go down to arrange it in a while."

Emperor Chengde coughed, his voice weak.

"I want them to kill someone for me."

The eunuch Chen Ju stood with his hands down, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty wants to kill Li Yan?"

Emperor Chengde shook his head slightly: "What's the use of killing Li Yan? Killing him will heal my wounds?"

"Kill him, maybe Li Shen will be even happier!"

Chen Ju lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty ordered."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, full of murderous aura.

"Go... and kill Li Chun!"

Chapter 233 The Death of Li Chun

The emperors of the two generations of the Jin Dynasty all wanted to take action against the Pingnanhou Mansion. The two sides have confronted each other for more than 30 years, and the inside has already been that there is me in you, and you in me.

Here again there is a difference.

Because the imperial court has a good reputation after all, there are far more people working for the imperial court than for the Pingnanhou's Mansion, and even if they are working for the Pingnanhou's Mansion, once they become officials in the court, it is difficult to maintain their original intentions.

But most of the spies in the imperial court can guarantee their loyalty.

Under such circumstances, there are many spies supported by Chen Ju in Pingnanhou's mansion. Under the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, most of these people are willing to die for the emperor.

Emperor Chengde was half lying on the sickbed, and said in a low voice, "Remember, don't make too much publicity, at least...pretend to be an assassination."

If Emperor Chengde wants to kill Li Chun now, he only needs an imperial decree, but he can't kill people for no reason on the surface, otherwise he will lose his reason and give Pingnan Houfu a reason to rebel.

And if it was an assassination, then the court could not be blamed for this incident, and Li Shen had no reason to rebel. Once he rebelled, he would immediately become a traitor.

After Chen Ju left Changle Palace, the expression on his face turned a lot colder. He waved his hand and called a little eunuch, and said coldly, "Go, let Gao Huai come to see me."

Outsiders thought that there were only eight prisons in the palace. In fact, there was a ninth prison in the palace.

Not all the people in the Ninth Prison are eunuchs, there are also able-bodied traffickers and pawns, these people hide in all walks of life in the capital, and kill people for the above sentence at any time.

After a while, an eunuch with a plum blossom embroidered on his collar bowed respectfully to Chen Ju: "Godfather."

The eight eunuchs of the eight eunuchs in the palace, except for a few of Chen Ju's peers who couldn't be called godfathers, are all Chen Ju's godsons, and sometimes these godsons surround Chen Ju in unison. Calling a call will also give him some illusions.

"You know what happened in the palace. Now His Majesty wants to kill someone."

Gao Huai bent down slowly.

"Who, when will he die?"

..........................................

Pingnanhou Mansion.

After Li Yan was sent back to Pingnanhou's Mansion, the servants took him aside and applied the wound medicine. After the whole body was almost covered, Madam Yu walked in with her skirt and sat beside Li Yan's bed. The eyes are a little red.

"Thank you, Second Uncle."

Li Yan was lying on the bed, feeling a little immobile, but these were all superficial injuries, and he could recover within a month or two at most, which was far worse than that of the Emperor Chengde.

Li Yan was half lying on the bed, and every time he moved, his whole body hurt from countless wounds. This soldier who was born in the army grinned his teeth in pain. He only moved a small movement, and his forehead was already covered with sweat.

He leaned on the bed and grinned: "Although the third child of the Ji family is a bit straightforward, he is still responsible. If the fourth child of their family was handling this case, he probably wouldn't hit me."

Madam Yu sighed and did not speak.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and let out a slow breath.

"Sister-in-law, Emperor Chengde is not long to live."

"Brother asked me to come back to the capital to straighten out this messy relationship on his behalf. Now my younger brother has finally lived up to his high expectations, and I have earned him twenty or thirty years of time."

Madam Yu smiled: "With Second Uncle as the backbone, everything will be fine. If I am alone, I really can't do anything."

Speaking of this, Madam Yu's tone became low: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to ask for someone, and everyone in our house was useless, causing Second Uncle to suffer physically and fleshly. I am here to apologize to Second Uncle."
