The First Traitor [Rebirth]

On the hunting ground, the teenagers galloped wildly, chasing their prey.However, the difference from the past is that this hunting conference does not win by the number of prey, and there is no victory or defeat at all.

Seeing this scene, the emperor's heart, which had been depressed for a long time, was relieved a lot, but a servant came to report in a hurry: "Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Liu Xiao scolded: "Bold, you must not exceed the etiquette in front of the emperor! Why are you so panicked?"

The servant wiped his sweat and said cautiously: "The palace where His Royal Highness King Zhao lives has collapsed!"

"Is there something wrong with Yin'er? What's going on?!" The emperor's originally kind eyes suddenly became fierce, staring at the servant tremblingly.

Zhao Wang was unwell, and the emperor allowed him to stay in the palace to rest, so he did not participate in the autumn hunting meeting today.And King Zhao, who originally wanted to live outside, had to stay in the palace. After being treated by the imperial physician, he drank the soup and was about to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, he heard the sound of tiles falling in his sleep, and was frightened. He woke up with a start.

Immediately after he saw tiles falling down in pieces, he quickly got up from the bed and ran out with the help of the servant.Not long after he ran out, the palace collapsed, and half of the bricks and tiles fell down. If he ran slower, he might be buried underneath.

Although he ran out, he was still hit by many tiles, leaving a lot of blood on his head.After the rest of his life, he noticed the injury and passed out.

The emperor drove back angrily, and first went to the place where King Zhao was placed to see him, and found that his head was wrapped and was still stained with blood.As long as he thought that if he ran slower, he wouldn't know it was just bleeding, and even... the emperor didn't dare to think about it, he just felt very shocked!

Secondly, the emperor went to see the collapsed palace. When he saw the palace that was almost in ruins, he subconsciously thought that this was another warning from God after the flood.But King Liang's distressed look made him suspicious: "Why did the house suddenly collapse? Jin'er, where do you live?"

"I live in the palace behind..."

"Go and have a look."

Liang Wang hurriedly obstructed: "Father, the palace where my son lives is not a problem, and such a humble room, Father should not go?!"

His attitude made the emperor more determined to go to find out, and he walked over regardless of everyone's obstruction.

Compared with the several main halls where the emperor lived and dealt with government affairs, and the East Palace to the east, the palaces where the princes and princesses live here are as simple as another place.The materials used to build the palace are very little, and it looks like a shoddy house.

"How did this happen?" the emperor asked Liang Wang, Liang Wang's eyes flickered, and he hesitated to say what was going on.The emperor suddenly thought that the crown prince was in charge of building this summer resort, and he had heard that the crown prince took a lot of money from it...

I thought the prince was just using the name of building a summer resort to extract some benefits from the treasury, but he didn't expect that he would go even further, embezzling materials and misappropriating materials!Someone once reported this matter to him, and he was too indulgent to the prince at that time, so he turned a blind eye and only asked Yuan Jing to supervise him as a warning.

Later, although Yuan Jing didn't go to supervise, the prince was still trying to find ways to raise funds to make up for the gap.He thought the prince knew he was wrong, but he didn't expect that the prince actually ignored his warning!

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he ordered: "Is there a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Construction? Go and investigate, what is going on!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, really not knowing how to deal with this matter.Some of them belonged to the prince's party, and the summer resort that the prince was in charge of building suddenly collapsed, and the emperor saw it with his own eyes. It was a bit difficult for him to get rid of this crime.

What should be done now to stabilize the emperor and prevent the prince from being blamed for this incident?

Liang Wangdao: "Father, it's just a mere palace, why should you be angry about it? The most important thing is to take care of the dragon's body!"

The emperor glanced at him, and his anger subsided a little: "I know that you care about brotherhood, so you protect him from me, but this matter is related to the country, and it is not a trifling matter!"

"Yes, father." Liang Wang retreated angrily.

After Zhao Wang woke up, the people sent by the emperor asked some questions as testimony for the investigation.After the people who greeted and cared about him had left, he angrily reprimanded the prince to Yuan Jing: "At the beginning, I knew that something would happen sooner or later when I lived in such a house. He would have died long ago!"

At this moment, Yuan actually brought up a perplexity that no one else had thought about or dared not mention, and said, "Why did this house collapse when His Highness was living in it?"

King Zhao was startled: "Maybe it's a coincidence?"

After observing his expression carefully, one can tell that he is not using bitter tricks to challenge the prince, or someone wants to take the life of a prince to make things serious, so that the emperor cannot deal with trivial matters.But who would this person be?

"What did Yuan Erlang think of?" Zhao Wang hurriedly asked.

Yuan actually shook his head, said with a smile: "Perhaps the lower officials are overthinking, but your highness should not say anything about it."

Zhao Wang nodded: "This king knows that if someone really wants to attack this king, then this king will not startle the snake!"

Yuan actually looked at King Zhao with obscure eyes.According to her observations of King Liang and King Zhao in her previous life, King Liang was ambitious but very cautious and somewhat indecisive; King Zhao was relatively quick-tempered. Although he was ambitious, things went wrong because of his haste. .

And the reason why the two joined forces was because she brought them together and analyzed the pros and cons for them.Although they have their own ambitions in their hearts, they still choose to cooperate with each other in order to bring down the two great mountains of the Prince and the King of Qi.Now they are still far away from the seats they want, and it seems that it would not be good for them to break up at this time, so the suspicion of King Liang is a little less.

Another possibility is that it is easy to think that King Qi used this opportunity to attack the prince, but will King Qi do it so obviously?

Yuan actually thought about it a lot, and suddenly found that Liang Wang seemed to know some inside information about this matter, otherwise he would not have behaved like that in front of the emperor.It turns out that she can't understand a person's true thoughts after all, so she doesn't know whether King Liang has changed due to the change of the environment in this life.

This also makes it impossible to know whether King Liang did it intentionally. By the way, everyone focused on King Qi. If King Zhao unfortunately dies or becomes disabled, then his competitor will be one less. If King Zhao is fine And he can continue to cooperate with Zhao Wang hypocritically.

No matter how you look at it, it will always be Liang Wang who is always beneficial and harmless to him.

Yuan actually wanted to understand this point, but he would not tell Zhao Wang.She had thought that when the emperor became jealous and dissatisfied with the prince, someone would fan the flames in order to hit him with a hit.And whether this person is King Qi who is ready to move, or King Liang or King Zhao hiding in the dark, they all have the same effect on her plan.

The emperor was afraid that the summer resort he lived in would collapse at night, so he immediately ordered to return to Beijing and choose another hall to sit in.The news spread back to the capital very quickly, and everyone didn't know what happened, they only knew that the prince's supervision would also end, the palace where the prince lived in the summer resort collapsed, and the news that King Zhao was injured and the emperor was furious came back.

The prince was in panic all day long, and asked his officials how to deal with this matter.The emperor must have questioned him when he returned to Beijing this time. The matter can be big or small: from a small point of view, it is just a house collapse, no one died, only Zhao Wang was slightly injured; but from a large point of view However, the summer resort that the crown prince was ordered to supervise will collapse, and if something is found out, the crown prince's crimes will be enough to make his position as crown prince unsafe!

The officials discussed for a long time and felt that the soldiers should be divided into several groups. First of all, the prince should go to the emperor to plead guilty, but there is no need to take the responsibility on himself.Secondly, in order to prevent King Qi from having the opportunity to fan the flames, the target should be shifted to him.Furthermore, the prince should go to Yuan Ye for help. After all, the Ministry of Industry is Yuan Ye's sphere of influence, and the prince can brazenly pull him into trouble when necessary...

If he had no other choice, the prince would not be willing to threaten Yuan Ye, because no matter whether the matter was successful or not, Yuan Ye would always have a grudge against him.But right now, he has to get through this difficult time before he can think about how to get along with Yuan Ye in the future.

King Qi just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh at the sky to help him. He believed that as long as the emperor knew that Zhang Songwei's hasty execution was related to the prince's guilty conscience, everything that the prince had buried would be revealed.In addition to the incident at the Summer Resort this time, as long as he slaps another strong medicine, the crown prince will definitely be finished!

Not only the prince, but even Luo Lao Hanlin, Hubu Shangshu Jiang Guang, Yuan Ye and others who are the prince's grand teacher may not escape being implicated.As long as King Qi thought of uprooting them, he would feel at ease.

And although Yuan Ye said that he was not worried about getting involved with the matter of the Summer Resort, but after all, he was a minister of the Ministry of Industry, and if the prince wanted to drag him into trouble, he would always be found guilty.So he went back to the mansion to find out why he had just landed and hadn't had time to go back to the yard to rest, and asked her what happened.

Yuan actually told him the cause of the incident, but she didn't say that she thought King Liang was behind the incident.And Yuan Ye also unexpectedly said a few words for King Qi: "Based on my father's years of experience with him, this matter should not be his fault."

"But I heard that he has been looking for opportunities to attack the prince recently."

"Because of this, he doesn't have the time and opportunity to do something about the Summer Resort."

"Does dad think it was an accident?"

Yuan Ye shook his head, he wasn't there so he didn't know exactly what happened, but it's true that it was an accident.If this is an accident, it is undoubtedly a warning from God to the prince.

Taking a deep look at Yuan Jing, he asked, "You've been by the emperor's side recently, have you noticed any unusual behavior by the emperor?"

"There is nothing unusual about it, but what the prince has done recently displeases the emperor."

Yuan Ye sighed, he and some of the courtiers in the court had already guessed that the emperor's hasty return to Beijing was an expression of distrust for the crown prince.The crown prince was supported by the courtiers, which made the emperor feel the feeling of being neglected and power left behind, so he suspiciously believed that the crown prince had a tendency to replace him.

Don't say that the royal family is ruthless, even if it is placed on him and his own children, he may feel quite uncomfortable.Just imagine that maybe one day Yuan Jing will replace his position and everything. The people who come to visit are all looking for Yuan Yuan, but he can only hide in the backyard like a widow...

The so-called inheritance of father and son, but the premise is that the relationship between father and son can be harmonious, and the children and grandchildren show care and concern for their elderly parents.During the period when the emperor was seriously ill, although the prince was in charge of supervising the country, he never went to the summer resort to see the emperor once. This inevitably made the emperor think that the prince did not have him as a father in his heart.

No matter whether it is the prince or the courtiers, no one can spy on the emperor's true thoughts.Just when they thought that the emperor was completely relieved of the prince and could promise a heavy responsibility, the emperor suddenly became suspicious of the prince again, causing the prince and the courtiers to be caught off guard.There are not a few princes who were deposed due to negligence in the past dynasties. They thought they had great control over the current situation, so they failed to pay attention to it. It was a big mistake!

Regarding the matter of the crown prince, the officials have made moves for the crown prince and taken many remedial measures. Old Luo Hanlin also said a few words for the crown prince. It is not good enough to supervise and educate the prince conscientiously, which is why the prince made such a mistake.

After hearing many such words, the emperor dealt with a lot of assistant ministers in the East Palace according to their responsibilities, so he was not as angry as he was at the beginning.But in the end the prince still committed such a big mistake, and was caught by the upright officials of King Qi and impeached. If this matter is not dealt with according to law, there will be no explanation to the people of the world.

Regardless of the treacherous situation in the court, it was rare for Yuan to return to the capital and see Nan Lian day and night, so she didn't have to think about the affairs of the court all the time.

Because Yuan Ye was busy dealing with government affairs, he had no time to discuss the specific time for Yuan Xu to be adopted under Yuan Li's name, and the matter had not been informed to his family members, Yuan Ye just talked to Yuan Jing in private.Yuan Xu was still by Pingyao's side, Yuan Ye invited her a nanny to take care of the mother and son, and Nan Lian was also happy for the time being.

"Your Majesty Yuan, why don't you go to deal with government affairs, why do you come to me when you are so free?" Nan Lian saw Yuan sitting on a swing folding bamboo leaves as soon as she returned to Xiuwei Garden.

"Isn't my sister-in-law here to relieve my boredom? Why did you come back in such a hurry?" Yuan Jing asked with a smile, she was playing with origami, her eyes were sly, "Could it be that my sister-in-law heard that I was coming, so she couldn't wait to come back to see me ?”

Nan Lian was indeed accompanying Yuan Lu. Although Yuan Lu's mood had stabilized a lot, she was still imprisoned in the yard by Yuan Ye.Before Yuan Xu adopted Yuan Li's name, he would not let Yuan Lu have a chance to get close to Yuan Xu.At the beginning, Yuan Lu also hated Nan Lian, but in the end, only Nan Lian came to see her, and Nan Lian's attitude towards her remained the same, so she slowly accepted Nan Lian again.

Yuan actually pulled Nan Lian to sit on the swing, said: "Besides, today is a holiday, it's rare to take a rest without thinking about anything, why bother with government affairs?"

"There are times when you want to rest, it's rare." Nan Lian said.

Even though he said that, when talking about the world and the world with Nan Lian, it is inevitable to talk about government affairs, Nan Lian didn't interrupt her, just let her talk.But when Yuan was worried that Old Luo Hanlin would be implicated because of his position as the prince and grand teacher, Nan Lian said: "Old Luo has not returned to the court soon, so he cannot be involved. If you really want to blame him because of his position It won't have any effect on him."

"That's good."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, but if the prince loses his protection, I will definitely not let King Qi benefit."

"If you can make good use of this opportunity, King Qi will not be alone."

The simplest and most effective way is to link the collapse of the palace with King Qi, which will make the emperor suspicious of King Qi, but this method can also easily make people think that King Qi is behind the scenes and designed to frame the prince.As long as it rises to the battle between the princes, it will be easy for people to lose the pursuit of the essential truth of the incident, and the crime of the prince's embezzlement of money for the construction of the summer resort will be lightened.

"No, we can't involve King Qi in this matter, I'll find another way..." Yuan actually fell into deep thought again, Nan Lian sighed helplessly.It turned out that only when he heard the sigh came back to his senses, he asked blankly and unconsciously, "Why is Lian Er sighing?"

"You said it's rare to have a holiday, and you need to take a good rest, why are you breaking your promise?" Nan Lian rubbed her temples for her, she was afraid that thinking too much might shorten her life.

Yuan Yuan shook her hand and smiled: "You still said me, before I knew it, you might think more than me. But you are right, since it's a holiday, it's rare to be with you, so I'm sure It’s not good to live up to this good time.”
