play tricks around the bed

It’s full of plots, dry and dry, I’m still very young in writing plots... If you think it’s stupid, can you scold QAQ lightly

Li Jue was lying in the house, and almost all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were about to be moved to Prince Xian's Mansion.

Several imperial physicians ran in and out, Shen Zhu waited outside the house, not daring to disturb the imperial physician.

When Shen Zhu knew that Li Jue had been assassinated, he wished he could rush to Daming directly.

But as soon as he wanted to get up, he realized that he couldn't do it.

With his current legs and feet, it might be too late for him to rush over.

Shen Zhu forced himself to calm down, and asked Laifu as if he had obtained a certification: "Did the assassin catch it? Whose?"

Lai Fu replied: "I was arrested on the spot, he belongs to the First Prince."

Shen Zhu almost fainted from anger.

Li Jue did it on purpose.

What about keeping the officials who will arrange succession, what about helping him clean up the mess, all fucking fart!

Li Jue's goal from the very beginning was not Feng Renzhi at all, he is not worthy of a prince like Li Jue traveling all the way for a small magistrate.

Li Jue's goal has always been the First Prince.

"What about the assassin?" Shen Zhu calmed down and asked, "Is he still alive?"

"Alive." Laifu nodded and replied, "At first the assassin wanted to commit suicide, but the guards knocked out his teeth and his jaw. He is heading to the capital to rhyme, and he is probably coming soon."

Shen Zhu frowned and said "No".

After a while, the first prince will come out to confront him, and he will definitely not admit defeat easily.It is estimated that it is not that the assassin slandered him, or that the assassin beat him into a trick.

He can't visit Li Jue now, but at least he can help Li Jue stabilize Beijing.

Shen Zhu took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Lai Fu as a token, saying: "Go to He Lanzhou first, and tell him that the things the prince left for him can be taken out."

Shen Zhu thought for a while and then added: "Then go back to the Marquis Mansion and ask An Ge to take out the document from the dark cell, and then let An Ge bring the document and the things He Lanzhou gave you to enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

"Don't worry, do it step by step as I said." Shen Zhu comforted Lai Fu in turn, "I'll enter the palace first, it's fine."

"But I heard that Peng Yushi is also in the palace." Laifu was worried about Shen Zhu, "You enter the palace now, in case Peng Yushi adds fuel to the fire..."

"No." Shen Zhu resolutely said while getting into the carriage, "Peng Zirun just disagrees with my political views, and being an official is quite clear, and he can clearly distinguish priorities."

Seeing that Shen Zhu's words were firm, Lai Fu stopped arguing and ran towards the East Street.

Shen Zhu sat on the carriage, thinking about the clues he had guessed, trying his best to figure out the ins and outs of Li Jue's arrangement.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Zhu became more and more angry, wishing to wait for Li Jue to come back and pick up Li Jue's collar and beat Li Jue violently.

No wonder Li Jue said that Shen Zhu would not agree to what he did, Li Jue had no intention of coming back alive.

Feng Renzhi belongs to the eldest prince, Shen Zhu found Feng Renzhi's head, the eldest prince will definitely not let Feng Renzhi come back alive, he will send someone to kill Feng Renzhi.

But just killing Feng Renzhi can't shake the eldest prince in front of the emperor.But if it was Li Jue who killed him, the emperor probably wouldn't be able to tolerate the eldest prince.

It's not that the emperor attaches great importance to Li Jue, but that Li Jue weighs the court for the emperor is a fact that everyone tacitly agrees to. The eldest prince's move to destroy this balance undoubtedly means that he has the heart of disobedience.

What the emperor fears most is disobedience.

So Li Jue deliberately let the eldest prince's people assassinate him.

False assassination is not enough. For their emperor, he must stab the knife in his body to believe it.

Shen Zhu suddenly remembered that the day when Li Jue met him in Daming, he was riding in the carriage of third- and fourth-rank officials or merchants. On that day, Zhou Duan discovered that all the post stations from Bianliang to the northwest were Li Jue's people. .

Thinking back then, Li Jue had blocked the news along the way, and the First Prince didn't know that Li Jue was in the name.

Besides, even if they knew, Shen Zhu also drove back to Beijing in the prince's carriage, outsiders must think that Shen Zhu and Li Jue came back in the same carriage.

After Shen Zhu returned to the capital, he directly saw the emperor restraining the eldest prince's feet.

Presumably at that time, even if Shen Zhu didn't speak up, Li Jue had already arranged officials to speak up in advance.

And when Li Jue returned to Beijing, he was probably in the same carriage that Shen Zhu took when he came.

Li Jue had cast the hook a long time ago, and was waiting for the assassin to enter the net, so that assassin could be captured alive by Chang Wei so easily.

The eldest prince probably doesn't know yet, but the assassin he sent to kill Feng Renzhi ended up on Li Jue.

Thinking about it now, He Lanzhou said that Li Jue had asked him to keep an eye on those officials in the capital, and he also revealed that Li Jue had arranged this matter for a long time.

If this matter is successful, the eldest prince will undoubtedly never turn around again.And the officials under the First Prince, from Bianliang to Daming, are afraid that they will all be abolished.

Is Li Jue going to have a big change?Replace the daimyo and the capital with your own people.

It is estimated that the eldest prince would never think of anything, and Li Jue would risk his life with him.

Shen Zhu also couldn't figure it out, did Li Jue really risk his own life for the sake of power?

Shen Zhu got out of the carriage and went straight to the palace, the emperor was losing his temper, obviously he already knew about the assassination of Li Jue by the eldest prince's men.

Unfortunately, Peng Ze was standing next to him. Peng Ze's mouth could do nothing but criticize and make small reports. Standing by the side was a bit at a loss.

Seeing this, Shen Zhu went directly into the study and saluted, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The last wave of Shen Zhu's anger in front of the emperor still persisted, but this time Shen Zhu came again.

The angry emperor walked around twice with his hands behind his back, looked at Shen Zhu scrutinizingly, and asked with a sneer: "Are you here to sue for Shiyu?"

"No." Chen Zhu held the gift in both hands and did not put it down, bowed his head and said: "The minister accused the eldest prince of the daimyo related food tax, formed a clique for personal gain, and his clique went deep into the capital. The situation is bad and cannot be ignored."

The emperor's footsteps stopped, and he put away his sneering expression just now, and asked with a cold face: "The faction has formed in the capital, why didn't you say it just now!"

"The relevant documents were sent because of the prince." Shen Zhu raised his head, pretending not to understand, and asked, "Your Majesty just said to file a complaint, what is the complaint?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, as if to see whether Shen Zhu was lying, and asked tentatively: "You don't know anything?"

Shen Zhu stared at a pair of almond eyes, pretended to be innocent, shook his head and said: "Just now, I was still worshiping Buddha in Jianguo Temple, and the Buddhist gate is quiet, so I really don't know what happened outside. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the abbot of Jianguo Temple to come and ask talk."

The old emperor returned to his seat, and said with a serious face: "Broadcast!"

The eunuch's summons went down layer by layer, waiting for the abbot to enter the palace.

No one in the hall spoke, the old emperor looked over Shen Zhu and Peng Ze with a gloomy face, the hall was so quiet that only the crackling of moths being burned to death by the candle could be heard.

This kind of silence was very unbearable, and I don't know how long it took before the abbot walked into the hall with his slow steps.

The emperor put away his gloomy expression, and asked kindly: "Abbot, just now, Young Master Shen was paying homage to the Buddha in the temple."

The abbot still said without changing his face: "Indeed."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Really?"

The abbot bent slightly and said, "Monks don't tell lies."

The emperor stared at the abbot's face for a long time, as if he saw nothing, and finally said with a smile: "It's hard for the abbot to make a trip alone."

The abbot saluted and left the hall, and there were only three people left in the hall.

After being silent for a long time, the emperor finally said: "Just now there is a report that Shiyu was assassinated on the road?"

"What?" Shen Zhu almost fell off the wheelchair after hearing this, and asked with a very excited expression: "Who is it! Who dares to assassinate the prince!"

Emperor: "It's the First Prince."

Hearing that it was the eldest prince, the expression on Shen Zhu's face immediately froze, and his expression also restrained a lot, he asked in disbelief: "Why? Shiyu has no grievances or enmity with the eldest prince."

The emperor was still looking at Shen Zhu's expression, but perhaps because Shen Zhu's expression was too impeccable, the emperor finally gave up.

The emperor sighed and said: "It should be that the fact of forming a party has been discovered, and I want to silence it with the mentality of rather than breaking the jade."

Shen Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Let the emperor think that the eldest prince was found out because of forming a party for personal gain, so that even if the eldest prince quibbles, the emperor probably won't believe it anymore.

The emperor was not as wary of Shen Zhu as before, and his voice was much gentler than before, asking: "Do you have any relevant documents?"

"Yes." When she was waiting for the abbot, Shen Ange had already rushed back, and Shen Zhu replied, "Little sister Shen Ange is already waiting outside the hall."

The emperor ordered: "Xuan."

Shen Ange walked in with the document in hand, knelt down and said, "My daughter, Shen Ange, has seen Your Majesty." Then she handed the document to the eunuch who was waiting at the side.

Among the two documents, Shen Zhu hadn't read the one in He Lanzhou's hand, and the one he brought from his study was the list of the eldest prince's clique in Beijing.Shen Zhu guessed that the copy sent by He Lanzhou should be the list of successors arranged by Li Jue.

The emperor looked at the list of successors in silence for a while, and handed the list to Peng Ze.

Shen Zhu reckoned that the list was all Li Jue's people, and if the emperor showed it to Peng Ze, Peng Ze would definitely point to the list and approve a large number of them.

Shen Zhu was thinking about how to help Li Jueyuan come back, but Peng Ze said, "There is nothing wrong with this list."

Shen Zhu was somewhat unexpected.

Peng Ze said that if there is no problem, there is no problem, and there will be absolutely no favoritism.

Peng Ze pointed to the name of an official on the list and said: "This is the judge of Yantie. In recent years, there has been no mistake in the tea leaves in his hands."

"There is also this person." Peng Ze changed his name and pointed, "Tongzhou's promotion, since he took office, there have been a lot fewer thefts and robberies in Yingtianfu and Dijie."

Shen Zhu retired from the imperial court for a long time, these few people were not high-ranking officials, he couldn't recognize them all.But he knows the few familiar ones, because they don't stand in line or form a party, so they are pushed out by others, and they have been unsuccessful.

"I'm stupid." Peng Ze held the list back to the emperor and said, "I can't know everyone on the list, but the few I can recognize are all good officials with integrity."

The emperor stared at the list, frowned, thought for a while and said, "Let's discuss it at court tomorrow."

Shen Zhu watched the emperor leave.

He knew that the emperor had no choice but to refuse.

These officials are capable and do not stand in line. There is no better option than this.

Although the emperor put power in the hands of those officials, although it was not centralized, it was better than putting power in the hands of Li Jue or the First Prince.

It's just that Shen Zhu didn't understand Li Jue.

Li Jue uprooted the First Prince's henchmen, but he didn't want to insert his own people.Then it's not for seizing power, so what is he fighting for?

There is also the eldest prince, in fact, thinking about it carefully, the use of killing Feng Renzhi may not be as great as imagined.

Because the document had already entered the capital, Feng Ren knew that whether he entered the capital would not change his result.

Unless... Feng Renzhi knew something else.

Shen Zhu suddenly remembered the first time they met, Feng Renzhi said that he knew the inside story of escorting the luggage back then.

Shen Zhu understood, Feng Renzhi definitely didn't tell the whole story.

Looking at it now, the emperor was really inseparable from what happened back then.
