According to Shen Ying's instructions, King An went to the prison to visit King Yong, and told King Yong exactly what Shen Ying had said.
The treacherous and cunning King Yong naturally wouldn't fully believe the emperor's comforting words. A puppet emperor who was originally weak and weak, was able to overthrow both Empress Dowager Liu and Du Qianren at the same time with all his deliberations and steps. To bring order out of chaos and clean up the court, if there are still people who dare to underestimate the emperor at this time, thinking that he is too young to be bullied, then they are really stupid.
However, King Yong would not be too afraid of Shen Ying who had just taken power, let alone Shen Ying who had just taken power and his foundation was unstable. Although the power of Empress Dowager Liu and Du Qianren had been eliminated, it was not yet enough to deter the vassal kings everywhere.
And King Yong has been operating in his fief for many years, holding a heavy army, not to mention that he has a gold medal for avoiding death, such as the Danshu Iron Coupon, and he predicts that Du Qianren will never betray himself in order to keep his son, so even if the emperor If he wanted to deal with him, King Yong was not afraid.
Long before entering Beijing, King Yong sent messengers to several vassal kings who had good relations with him, asking them to help him. Put pressure on the emperor and force the emperor to let him go.
King Yong planned carefully, thinking that nothing would go wrong, he felt that Shen Ying was just a wolf cub who had just learned how to hunt, how could he ever fight an old fox who had experienced many battles, so even if he was in prison, he didn't worry about it, he should eat and sleep every day Sleep, calm as if in your own home.
However, Shen Ying would actually send King An to visit him. King Yong was a little surprised by this. Although they belonged to uncles and nephews in seniority, they actually had no relationship with uncles and nephews. Thinking about it, maybe the emperor also wanted to Give yourself a good reputation as a benevolent king.
King Yong sneered in his heart when King An conveyed what Shen Ying had said to him. He is a young nephew, but he has learned a lot about the hypocrisy of being an emperor. Deep and sinister, his father Gaozong is like this, and he is like this when he is a son!
King Yong thought that since the emperor wanted to pretend to be benevolent and righteous, he had to cooperate, so he took the opportunity to say that he had been in prison for many days and really missed his family. He begged the emperor to sympathize with his old age and illness, and allow him to see Princess Yong , to relieve his pain of missing relatives.
After visiting King Yong's prison, King Anjun told Shen Ying about King Yong's request when he went to report to Shen Ying.
Shen Ying was reading "Historical Records" in the study, and after listening to King An's words, she put down the book in her hand and thought, "Are you sure he said he wanted to see Princess Yong?"
King Anjun said: "Go back to the emperor, of course I'm sure, I'm not seven or eighty and my ears are not working, how could I hear wrong."
Shen Ying glanced at Prince An, Shen Xuan didn't know what was going on in King Yong's mansion, so he didn't find King Yong's request strange, but he had already inquired about the situation inside and out of King Yong's mansion.
Concubine Zhu of Prince Yong was born in a well-known family. She married King Yong when she was a teenager. Hui is a mediocre and incompetent person, and he is not loved by King Yong.
King Yong also has a side concubine, Liu Shi, who is young and beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and is very much loved by King Yong. Concubine Liu also gave birth to a clever and well-behaved son for King Yong. The youngest son has partiality, and because Concubine Liu blows the pillow wind in his ear every night, King Yong has the idea of changing Concubine Liu's son as his son.
Fortunately, Concubine Zhu is capable and resourceful. She has been married to King Yong for many years, and she is well-known both inside and outside the Palace of King Yong. Many staff members of Prince Yong's Palace also respect her very much. King Yong didn't want to abolish the elders and make the younger ones, so that King Yong finally gave up the idea of changing his son, and Concubine Zhu was able to help his son Shen Hui keep his position as the son.
King Yong loves the young and beautiful side concubine Liu Shi, but he has long since lost affection for the old and decrepit Princess Zhu. If there is anyone he misses the most in prison, it should be the side concubine Liu, but King Yong said he wanted to see her The person is Princess Zhu.
Shen Ying would not naively think that King Yong wanted to see his wife because he suddenly remembered the decades-old relationship with Princess Zhu, but after thinking about it for a while, he guessed the reason.
King Yong dotes on Concubine Liu, but Concubine Liu is just an empty and beautiful vase. King Yong was escorted to Beijing. At this critical moment of life and death, Concubine Liu can't help, and she still has to rely on good strategy Princess Zhu came to help him stabilize the situation.
King Yong knew that after Du Qianren's defeat, he knew that he could not escape. He entrusted everything in Prince Yong's mansion to Princess Zhu in advance. That's why he now wants to see Princess Zhu to understand the current situation, and by the way, tell Princess Zhu what to do next Do.
Shen Ying looked down at the "Historical Records" on the table, he just happened to read "The Chronicle of Empress Dowager Lu".
Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, favored Madam Qi in his later years, and wanted to replace Empress Lu's son Liu Ying with Madam Qi's son Liu Ruyi as the crown prince. Thanks to Empress Lu's resourcefulness, he forced Zhang Liang to offer a plan, and invited Sihao from Shangshan to come out of the mountain to persuade Liu Bang to dispel the idea of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones. This idea saved Liu Ying's crown prince.
Good friends.Se Ze Mu Shaoai is the nature of most men. When there is a young and beautiful woman by his side, he will forget his wretched wife who has been with him in times of trouble. This is the case with Han Gaozu, and so is King Yong.
Shen Ying was still having a headache because of King Yong's affairs before, but now she suddenly understood, and a clever plan came to her mind.
Concubine Zhu is just like Empress Lu, no matter how virtuous she is, she is still a woman, no woman will tolerate another woman's status surpassing her own in her husband's heart, not to mention Concubine Liu's son, who almost took away her son's heir bit.
This incident is a thorn in Princess Zhu's heart that will never be removed. If Princess Zhu dies before King Yong, that's all. Like Madam Qi and Liu Ruyi, Concubine Zhu will never show mercy to them.
The reason why Concubine Zhu is still willing to plan to rescue King Yong is because of her relationship with King Yong for many years. How would you choose?
As long as Concubine Zhu is a sensible person, she will never choose that husband who once had the idea of betraying their mother and child.
Shen Ying raised her lips, and her lips curved in a treacherous and unpredictable arc. She looked at Prince An and said, "Since Uncle Yong misses his dearest relative, I will satisfy him. Come here! Send someone to Prince Yong's mansion right away to pass on my order." Take Yong Wang's side concubine Liu Shi to Beijing to accompany Yong Wang!"
King An Jun blinked his eyes after hearing this: "Your Majesty, have you made a mistake? King Yong told me that he wanted to see Concubine Yong, so it should be his main concubine and not his side concubine?"
Shen Ying laughed nervously: "I'm not mistaken, Princess Yong wants to preside over the overall situation in the palace, how can she come to the capital, you don't know, the side concubine Liu of Prince Yong is Uncle Yong's favorite flower Hua, with her by my side, Uncle Yong will never feel lonely again."
—
Three days later, Gu Min personally brought the eunuch who delivered the decree and a team of Jin Yiwei to Prince Yong's Mansion.
After King Yong was escorted to Beijing, Prince Yong's mansion was under surveillance, relying on Princess Zhu to do everything possible to maintain contact with the outside world and try to help King Yong get away with crimes.
But after Prince Yong's mansion received the order, Princess Zhu heard the imperial edict saying that King Yong wanted side concubine Liu to come to Beijing to accompany him, she knelt on the ground in a daze for a long time, and forgot to accept the order for a moment, and it took a while for her to recover. Unbelievable, he asked the eunuch passing the decree: "Elder-in-law, did you read the imperial decree correctly? Did the prince appoint the concubine Liu to enter the capital?"
On the way here, Gu Min had already taught the eunuch how to deal with it, so the eunuch handed the edict to Princess Zhu with a smile, and said: "What the princess said makes no sense, can our family still read it wrong in black and white? If you don’t believe me, read it for yourself, it’s written clearly, the concubine Liu’s family is the name of the roll call, King Yong said, he was lonely and depressed in Beijing, and he missed the days when concubine Liu was with him day and night, that’s why he begged the emperor to let Liu be side by side. The imperial concubine took him to Beijing to accompany him, the emperor was considerate of King Yong's old age and sickness, so he agreed, this is a great grace!"
Concubine Zhu took the imperial decree, opened it and confirmed it again. After reading it, her expression could only be described as extremely ugly, she forced a smile, and kowtowed to thank her, "I will accept the decree, so people will arrange to send side concubine Liu to Beijing. "
On the other hand, Concubine Liu's complexion was worse than that of Princess Zhu. King Yong was imprisoned in the capital and he was not there to enjoy the blessings. Who knows if he will come back alive. She didn't want to follow the past and suffer. Holding Princess Zhu's leg, she begged bitterly: "Princess, Concubine, Xin'er is still young, and he cannot live without my concubine's care. I beg you to be merciful, don't send me to the capital!"
Concubine Zhu indifferently pushed aside Concubine Liu and stood up, and said dumbly: "Didn't you hear clearly? The imperial decree called you to come to Beijing by name, and you don't want to go because you want to resist the decree? Besides, it is the prince who wants you to go to accompany him , the prince has spoiled you for so many years, it's time for you to repay him, don't worry, I am Xin'er's aunt, after you leave, I will naturally take good care of him."
After listening to Princess Zhu's words, Concubine Liu also understood her situation. She had to go to the capital this time, so she suddenly tilted her body, fell on the ground and cried, "Okay, I just go, and please tell the princess. If you do it, you must treat my son well.”
It was already night when the imperial decree arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion, and it would be inconvenient to travel at night. Besides, Concubine Liu had to spend some time packing her luggage. After Princess Zhu received the decree, she asked her servants to take the eunuchs who passed the decree and the guards who escorted them to the palace. where placed.
Gu Min was dressed in ordinary Jin Yiwei's clothes and mixed in without revealing his identity. When all the servants of Prince Yong's Mansion had left, and in the dead of night, Gu Min immediately ordered his spies to go to Princess Zhu's courtyard to inquire about news.
The spies flew over the eaves and climbed onto the roof of Concubine Zhu's bedroom, lifted a tile and lay down on the roof, listening to the movement in the room.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Concubine Zhu, as expected, it is already the end of the hour, and Concubine Zhu has not gone to bed yet.
There was no one else in the room, only Princess Zhu and a nanny who had been by her side since childhood.
When Concubine Zhu received the order, in order to maintain her concubine's dignity, she had to endure it. At this moment, there was no one else, and she couldn't bear the grievance any longer. She fell into the mother's arms and cried: "Since the prince was arrested, I will stand alone for you." He propped up this huge palace, he was exhausted, he didn't get a full night's sleep, but he only thought about that little bitch! What time is it, and he still wants Mrs. Liu to go to Beijing to accompany him, isn't that obvious? Slap me in the face of this concubine?"
The nanny could only comfort Princess Zhu and said: "Please be safe, Princess, it's not a good thing to go to Beijing. Maybe the prince feels sorry for the princess and doesn't want her to be in danger, that's why he let that bitch of the Liu family go."
Concubine Zhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, patted the table and sneered, "He loves me? How could he still love me? If it weren't for the support of the Zhu family behind me, he would have abolished our mother and son long ago. Shen Xin is the crown prince! It's not like he hasn't thought about it before! But you can see today that the prince is thinking about Liu Shi's charming son, but Liu Shi doesn't want to accompany him. He should really let him see how Liu Shi is today. Let him understand what kind of ruthless and ungrateful woman he usually dotes on!"
"My servant knows that the princess is suffering, but what can I do now," the mother sighed, "The prince is the sky of the palace, if something happens to the prince, the sky of our palace will collapse, and everyone in the palace will suffer accordingly. Princess Let the anger go, but the most urgent thing is to rescue the prince, when the prince returns, he will know who is really with him, and then he will change his mind."
Concubine Zhu also sighed and said: "How can I not know the seriousness, I just closed the door and complained, can I really ignore him? Even for Hui'er, I have to rescue the prince, I only hope for him When you come back, you can say something about our mother and son, don't be fooled by that vixen of the Liu family, as long as Hui'er's position as the eldest son can be stabilized, even if I die, I will rest in peace."
Momo suddenly lowered her voice, "Princess, I don't know if I should say something or not."
Concubine Zhu said curiously: "You are my confidant, you can say whatever you want."
The mother said: "Now that the prince and the Liu family are not in the mansion, and the child is already sick and troubled, it is better to take this opportunity... so that no one will threaten the position of the eldest son."
Concubine Zhu understood what she meant, thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "No, the prince loves Shen Xin the most. If Shen Xin has something good or bad, the prince will definitely blame me for not taking good care of me when he comes back, and it will hurt even more." Husband and wife love." At this point, Concubine Zhu suddenly paused, and sighed quietly, "In fact, sometimes I look forward to the return of the prince, but I don't want the prince to come back. To tell you the truth, when I receive the order today I was just thinking, it would be great if the prince and the Liu family died together in the capital, and never come back to let me see them..."
The nanny was shocked, and quickly grabbed Princess Zhu's hand to persuade her, "Princess, don't talk nonsense!"
Concubine Zhu smiled wryly: "Don't worry, I'm just talking to you, I just feel uncomfortable and complain..."
When there was no movement in Princess Zhu's room, the spies quietly returned to the courtyard where Gu Min lived, and reported in detail the conversation between Princess Zhu and her servants tonight with Gu Min.
As Shen Ying expected, Concubine Zhu really complained about King Yong's doting on Concubine Liu's mother and son, but because she was worried that if King Yong fell, the whole Prince Yong's mansion would be buried with him, so she could only choose to hold back.
Then this matter is easy to handle.
The reason why King Yong dares to be confident now is nothing more than relying on two things, one is that he has the iron certificate of the Danshu in his hand, even if he commits a serious crime, he can be saved from death, and the other is that Du Qianren dare not confess his guilt.
Therefore, if you want King Yong to plead guilty, the first thing you need to do is to find a way to invalidate the Iron Coupon of the Danshu in King Yong's Mansion.
The iron certificate of the Dan book is not on King Yong's body, so it could only be that Princess Yong is keeping it. From the conversation between Princess Zhu and her servants tonight, it can be heard that she is actually thinking about her husband and wife relationship with King Yong. Unless it is a last resort, she will never betray King Yong.
Then you have to think about how to force Princess Zhu to come to this "last resort" time.
The person Princess Zhu cares about the most, besides King Yong, is her son Shen Hui, and the Danshu iron coupon can only save one person's life. If King Yong and Shen Hui commit the crime of beheading at the same time, then Princess Zhu will Take out the Danshu Iron Coupon and save who?
This is the plan Shen Ying came up with.
The reason why Gu Min hid his identity and came to Prince Yong's mansion in disguise was because Shen Ying entrusted him with the task of finding a way to abolish the iron certificate of the alchemy book in Prince Yong's mansion. When Concubine Zhu handed over Du Chengmei, King Yong lost two reliances at the same time, and he would surely die.
At this time, the spy that Gu Min sent out to inquire about the news in the courtyard of Prince Yong's son Shen Hui also came back. The spy reported to him that Shen Hui was drinking and having fun with his concubine in the room, complaining that being locked up in the palace all day could not Going out, I almost fell ill, and after drinking, I became addicted to gambling, and I dragged the boy to push Pai Gow to gamble.
His father has been arrested in the prison in the capital, Shen Hui can still drink and have fun so heartlessly, it's no wonder that King Yong has the idea of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, even if there is no title inheritance in the family, he will replace it with an ordinary one. Ordinary families would not let such prodigal sons inherit their property.
But if they want to cut down the feudal clan, then the imperial court would like to have more foolish princes like Shen Hui, the better. One generation is not as good as the next generation. At that time, there is no need for the imperial court to suppress it with all kinds of troops, and the ancestors' foundation will be defeated first.
After Gu Min collected information about Concubine Zhu and Prince Shen Hui, he had already formed a complete plan in his mind.
In the early morning of the second day, the eunuchs and the eunuchs who passed the decree set off back to the capital first with Concubine Liu, but after Gu Min followed the large army out of Prince Yong's Mansion, he did not follow him out of the city, but changed into ordinary people's clothes with a few cronies. clothes, and wandered around the city looking for news about Shen Hui.
No one in Yong City knew about Shen Hui, Prince Yong's son, within half a day, Gu Min's people found out all about Shen Hui.
Shen Hui is a dandy whose virtue is worse than that of Prince An. He eats, drinks, and gambles with women. Because of his status as the son of the world, the people of Yongcheng can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
But there is one person in Yongcheng who is not afraid of Shen Hui, that is Concubine Liu's younger brother Liu Jun, Liu Jun is the only male in the family, he is loved by his parents and his sister Concubine Liu, King Yong loves the house and Wu, so naturally he is very fond of this The brother-in-law also took good care of him, so Liu Jun was not afraid of Shen Hui's power.
Concubine Liu was favored by King Yong, so her family became a big family in Yongcheng. Yongcheng is such a big place. Shen Hui and Liu Jun, two sons who are about the same age, will inevitably meet each other in the city. Concubine Zhu She and Concubine Liu are rivals, so they are naturally in the same situation, and they will quarrel whenever they meet.
Gu Min ordered people to find out the details of Liu Jun, but it turned out that Liu Jun was even more lawless than Shen Hui. Xiao was doted on by his family and grew up with the support of his sister and King Yong. On weekdays, he bullied men and women in Yongcheng, beat, smashed, looted and burned him.
Gu Min was worried that he couldn't find a way to make Shen Hui commit the crime, and in the end, Liu Jun was sent to him immediately. This time, God really helped him.
Gu Min ordered people to watch the movement of Liu's house secretly, and when Liu Jun went to the casino to gamble one day, he ordered the defenders guarding King Yong to reveal their flaws, and deliberately put Shen Hui, who was already maddened by the palace, out of the palace.
Shen Hui has been addicted to gambling for a few days, betting with the boys in the mansion for a little bit of money is not as fun as going to the gambling house, as soon as he left the mansion, he went straight to the biggest gambling house in Yongcheng, and naturally met Liu Jun.
As soon as the two met, they still scolded each other with guns and sticks like before, but because of such a big incident in Prince Yong's Mansion, they were not in the mood to be angry with each other, so they separated and stood on both sides of the gambling table to gamble.
At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, but after Shen Hui lost a few times in a row, his complexion began to turn ugly. On the contrary, Liu Jun, Liu Jun specially bet against Shen Hui, Shen Hui bet big and he bet small, Shen Hui bet He bet big, but he won all of them, which made him very happy!
How did these two people think that the banker who was in charge of rolling the dice had been bribed by Gu Min long ago, just to make Shen Hui lose everything and make him anxious.
Sure enough, Shen Hui took the bait, and the old habit of being red-eyed after losing too much, and the person who won him was his arch-enemy Liu Jun, made him even more furious. Qian, of course Liu Jun couldn't admit it, and instead he laughed at Shen Hui for not being able to lose, and among the people present, there was Jin Yiwei who was pretending to be a gambler and deliberately made fun of Shen Hui. Liu Jun rushed over, but Liu Jun didn't fear him, he threw the fan in his hand and stepped forward, and the two scuffled together like this.
The casino suddenly became chaotic, and suddenly someone screamed and shouted: "Killed! Killed!"
Shen Hui, who pressed Liu Jun on the ground and punched him for a long time, woke up suddenly, realizing that Liu Jun hadn't fought back for a long time?
He fixed his eyes on Liu Jun's face, and saw that Liu Jun's eyes were closed tightly, his face was as white as paper, and he had no reaction at all!
Shen Hui probed Liu Jun's nose with trembling fingers, and found that Liu Jun had already lost his breath. He was frightened out of his wits, stood up staggeringly and kept backing away. Looking around, he found that everyone was looking at the murderer. Looking at him, Shen Hui didn't want to think about it anymore, and hurriedly ran out of the gambling house with the young man as if fleeing.
Concubine Zhu was worrying about saving King Yong in the mansion, when suddenly Shen Hui rushed into her room, knelt down beside her legs, yelling for her mother to save him with snot and tears.
Concubine Zhu was puzzled and asked Shen Hui what happened. Shen Hui faltered and told the ins and outs to Princess Zhu. .
Princess Zhu pushed Shen Hui away, pointed at him and asked tremblingly: "You said you beat Liu Jun to death?!"
Shen Hui said with a mournful face: "He was the one who laughed at me first, who knew he couldn't help hitting him so much, I just punched him twice, and he lost his breath... Concubine Mu, you have to find a way to save your son!"
Concubine Zhu was angry and impatient, and said bitterly: "How do you ask me to save you? So many people saw you beat Liu Jun to death, how do you ask me to save you? Wait a minute, our palace is surrounded by Jin Yiwei, How did you get out again?"
Shen Hui said with a guilty conscience: "I slipped out while they were changing defenses. It's too boring to stay in the mansion."
Princess Zhu slapped Shen Hui hard after hearing this, and cursed: "How could I give birth to such a son as you!"
Shen Hui covered his face and howled: "What's the use of scolding me now, you have to find a way to save me!"
"Who is it wrong for you to kill, but Liu Jun? He is the only seedling of the Liu family. When your father comes back, if that bitch of the Liu family finds out that her brother is dead, he will definitely make trouble in front of your father. , when the time comes..." Concubine Zhu imagined the consequences, covered her face in despair and cried bitterly, "Even if your little life can be saved, your position as the son of the world will definitely not be saved! How can we, mother and son, have a foothold in this palace in the future? part!"
Shen Hui was also extremely remorseful and desperate, he slumped on the ground in a daze, and muttered to himself: "It would be great if the father and Concubine Liu could not come back..."
After hearing Shen Hui's words to herself, Princess Zhu scolded her son angrily: "Nonsense! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"The son is not talking nonsense," a man's clear voice suddenly came from outside the door, "according to Ben Hou, the son sees things much more clearly than the concubine."
Concubine Zhu raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw many Jinyi guards came in from the yard at some time, and the leader was wearing a red flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist, he was heroic and imposing.
Those in Jinyiwei who can wear the flying fish uniform given by the emperor must have a high official position. Concubine Zhu looked at Gu Min and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"
Gu Min walked into the room with Xiu Chundao in his hand, and bowed to Princess Zhu, "Marquis of Linyang, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Gu Min, pays homage to Princess Zhu."
"You are the Marquis of Linyang?!" Although Princess Zhu was in Yongwang's mansion, she had also heard of Gu Min's prestige in the suppression of the rebellion. After hearing Gu Min's self-identification, she was surprised and said, "How could you be here?" My Yong Palace?"
Gu Min smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter why I am here, the most important thing right now is, does the concubine want to save King Yong, or does she want to save the son?"
Concubine Zhu winked and ordered her servants to help Shen Hui aside, looked at Gu Min warily, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Min glanced at Shen Hui, who was already frightened out of his wits, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows about the son's beating to death in the gambling house, and the Liu family, whose son died, must be ready to hand over the papers to the yamen to sue." The prince is gone, does the concubine still want to hide this from me?"
Concubine Zhu's face turned pale, and Gu Min continued: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Liu Jun was beaten to death by the prince, so many eyes can be seen, and there is no denying it. Wait until King Yong and Concubine Liu return to the palace. , Wangfei thinks, will King Yong kill his relatives righteously?"
"Master Gu, you didn't come here just to make sarcastic remarks, did you?" After all, Concubine Zhu came to her senses after a long time, she pulled Shen Hui to kneel down for Gu Min, and begged bitterly, " Please also ask Gu Houye to point out the way and save my son!"
"The one who can save the son is not this Marquis, but you, Princess Yong." Gu Min's sharp eyes caught Princess Zhu, and said meaningfully, "Don't the princess have a gold medal for avoiding death?"
The treacherous and cunning King Yong naturally wouldn't fully believe the emperor's comforting words. A puppet emperor who was originally weak and weak, was able to overthrow both Empress Dowager Liu and Du Qianren at the same time with all his deliberations and steps. To bring order out of chaos and clean up the court, if there are still people who dare to underestimate the emperor at this time, thinking that he is too young to be bullied, then they are really stupid.
However, King Yong would not be too afraid of Shen Ying who had just taken power, let alone Shen Ying who had just taken power and his foundation was unstable. Although the power of Empress Dowager Liu and Du Qianren had been eliminated, it was not yet enough to deter the vassal kings everywhere.
And King Yong has been operating in his fief for many years, holding a heavy army, not to mention that he has a gold medal for avoiding death, such as the Danshu Iron Coupon, and he predicts that Du Qianren will never betray himself in order to keep his son, so even if the emperor If he wanted to deal with him, King Yong was not afraid.
Long before entering Beijing, King Yong sent messengers to several vassal kings who had good relations with him, asking them to help him. Put pressure on the emperor and force the emperor to let him go.
King Yong planned carefully, thinking that nothing would go wrong, he felt that Shen Ying was just a wolf cub who had just learned how to hunt, how could he ever fight an old fox who had experienced many battles, so even if he was in prison, he didn't worry about it, he should eat and sleep every day Sleep, calm as if in your own home.
However, Shen Ying would actually send King An to visit him. King Yong was a little surprised by this. Although they belonged to uncles and nephews in seniority, they actually had no relationship with uncles and nephews. Thinking about it, maybe the emperor also wanted to Give yourself a good reputation as a benevolent king.
King Yong sneered in his heart when King An conveyed what Shen Ying had said to him. He is a young nephew, but he has learned a lot about the hypocrisy of being an emperor. Deep and sinister, his father Gaozong is like this, and he is like this when he is a son!
King Yong thought that since the emperor wanted to pretend to be benevolent and righteous, he had to cooperate, so he took the opportunity to say that he had been in prison for many days and really missed his family. He begged the emperor to sympathize with his old age and illness, and allow him to see Princess Yong , to relieve his pain of missing relatives.
After visiting King Yong's prison, King Anjun told Shen Ying about King Yong's request when he went to report to Shen Ying.
Shen Ying was reading "Historical Records" in the study, and after listening to King An's words, she put down the book in her hand and thought, "Are you sure he said he wanted to see Princess Yong?"
King Anjun said: "Go back to the emperor, of course I'm sure, I'm not seven or eighty and my ears are not working, how could I hear wrong."
Shen Ying glanced at Prince An, Shen Xuan didn't know what was going on in King Yong's mansion, so he didn't find King Yong's request strange, but he had already inquired about the situation inside and out of King Yong's mansion.
Concubine Zhu of Prince Yong was born in a well-known family. She married King Yong when she was a teenager. Hui is a mediocre and incompetent person, and he is not loved by King Yong.
King Yong also has a side concubine, Liu Shi, who is young and beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and is very much loved by King Yong. Concubine Liu also gave birth to a clever and well-behaved son for King Yong. The youngest son has partiality, and because Concubine Liu blows the pillow wind in his ear every night, King Yong has the idea of changing Concubine Liu's son as his son.
Fortunately, Concubine Zhu is capable and resourceful. She has been married to King Yong for many years, and she is well-known both inside and outside the Palace of King Yong. Many staff members of Prince Yong's Palace also respect her very much. King Yong didn't want to abolish the elders and make the younger ones, so that King Yong finally gave up the idea of changing his son, and Concubine Zhu was able to help his son Shen Hui keep his position as the son.
King Yong loves the young and beautiful side concubine Liu Shi, but he has long since lost affection for the old and decrepit Princess Zhu. If there is anyone he misses the most in prison, it should be the side concubine Liu, but King Yong said he wanted to see her The person is Princess Zhu.
Shen Ying would not naively think that King Yong wanted to see his wife because he suddenly remembered the decades-old relationship with Princess Zhu, but after thinking about it for a while, he guessed the reason.
King Yong dotes on Concubine Liu, but Concubine Liu is just an empty and beautiful vase. King Yong was escorted to Beijing. At this critical moment of life and death, Concubine Liu can't help, and she still has to rely on good strategy Princess Zhu came to help him stabilize the situation.
King Yong knew that after Du Qianren's defeat, he knew that he could not escape. He entrusted everything in Prince Yong's mansion to Princess Zhu in advance. That's why he now wants to see Princess Zhu to understand the current situation, and by the way, tell Princess Zhu what to do next Do.
Shen Ying looked down at the "Historical Records" on the table, he just happened to read "The Chronicle of Empress Dowager Lu".
Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, favored Madam Qi in his later years, and wanted to replace Empress Lu's son Liu Ying with Madam Qi's son Liu Ruyi as the crown prince. Thanks to Empress Lu's resourcefulness, he forced Zhang Liang to offer a plan, and invited Sihao from Shangshan to come out of the mountain to persuade Liu Bang to dispel the idea of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones. This idea saved Liu Ying's crown prince.
Good friends.Se Ze Mu Shaoai is the nature of most men. When there is a young and beautiful woman by his side, he will forget his wretched wife who has been with him in times of trouble. This is the case with Han Gaozu, and so is King Yong.
Shen Ying was still having a headache because of King Yong's affairs before, but now she suddenly understood, and a clever plan came to her mind.
Concubine Zhu is just like Empress Lu, no matter how virtuous she is, she is still a woman, no woman will tolerate another woman's status surpassing her own in her husband's heart, not to mention Concubine Liu's son, who almost took away her son's heir bit.
This incident is a thorn in Princess Zhu's heart that will never be removed. If Princess Zhu dies before King Yong, that's all. Like Madam Qi and Liu Ruyi, Concubine Zhu will never show mercy to them.
The reason why Concubine Zhu is still willing to plan to rescue King Yong is because of her relationship with King Yong for many years. How would you choose?
As long as Concubine Zhu is a sensible person, she will never choose that husband who once had the idea of betraying their mother and child.
Shen Ying raised her lips, and her lips curved in a treacherous and unpredictable arc. She looked at Prince An and said, "Since Uncle Yong misses his dearest relative, I will satisfy him. Come here! Send someone to Prince Yong's mansion right away to pass on my order." Take Yong Wang's side concubine Liu Shi to Beijing to accompany Yong Wang!"
King An Jun blinked his eyes after hearing this: "Your Majesty, have you made a mistake? King Yong told me that he wanted to see Concubine Yong, so it should be his main concubine and not his side concubine?"
Shen Ying laughed nervously: "I'm not mistaken, Princess Yong wants to preside over the overall situation in the palace, how can she come to the capital, you don't know, the side concubine Liu of Prince Yong is Uncle Yong's favorite flower Hua, with her by my side, Uncle Yong will never feel lonely again."
—
Three days later, Gu Min personally brought the eunuch who delivered the decree and a team of Jin Yiwei to Prince Yong's Mansion.
After King Yong was escorted to Beijing, Prince Yong's mansion was under surveillance, relying on Princess Zhu to do everything possible to maintain contact with the outside world and try to help King Yong get away with crimes.
But after Prince Yong's mansion received the order, Princess Zhu heard the imperial edict saying that King Yong wanted side concubine Liu to come to Beijing to accompany him, she knelt on the ground in a daze for a long time, and forgot to accept the order for a moment, and it took a while for her to recover. Unbelievable, he asked the eunuch passing the decree: "Elder-in-law, did you read the imperial decree correctly? Did the prince appoint the concubine Liu to enter the capital?"
On the way here, Gu Min had already taught the eunuch how to deal with it, so the eunuch handed the edict to Princess Zhu with a smile, and said: "What the princess said makes no sense, can our family still read it wrong in black and white? If you don’t believe me, read it for yourself, it’s written clearly, the concubine Liu’s family is the name of the roll call, King Yong said, he was lonely and depressed in Beijing, and he missed the days when concubine Liu was with him day and night, that’s why he begged the emperor to let Liu be side by side. The imperial concubine took him to Beijing to accompany him, the emperor was considerate of King Yong's old age and sickness, so he agreed, this is a great grace!"
Concubine Zhu took the imperial decree, opened it and confirmed it again. After reading it, her expression could only be described as extremely ugly, she forced a smile, and kowtowed to thank her, "I will accept the decree, so people will arrange to send side concubine Liu to Beijing. "
On the other hand, Concubine Liu's complexion was worse than that of Princess Zhu. King Yong was imprisoned in the capital and he was not there to enjoy the blessings. Who knows if he will come back alive. She didn't want to follow the past and suffer. Holding Princess Zhu's leg, she begged bitterly: "Princess, Concubine, Xin'er is still young, and he cannot live without my concubine's care. I beg you to be merciful, don't send me to the capital!"
Concubine Zhu indifferently pushed aside Concubine Liu and stood up, and said dumbly: "Didn't you hear clearly? The imperial decree called you to come to Beijing by name, and you don't want to go because you want to resist the decree? Besides, it is the prince who wants you to go to accompany him , the prince has spoiled you for so many years, it's time for you to repay him, don't worry, I am Xin'er's aunt, after you leave, I will naturally take good care of him."
After listening to Princess Zhu's words, Concubine Liu also understood her situation. She had to go to the capital this time, so she suddenly tilted her body, fell on the ground and cried, "Okay, I just go, and please tell the princess. If you do it, you must treat my son well.”
It was already night when the imperial decree arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion, and it would be inconvenient to travel at night. Besides, Concubine Liu had to spend some time packing her luggage. After Princess Zhu received the decree, she asked her servants to take the eunuchs who passed the decree and the guards who escorted them to the palace. where placed.
Gu Min was dressed in ordinary Jin Yiwei's clothes and mixed in without revealing his identity. When all the servants of Prince Yong's Mansion had left, and in the dead of night, Gu Min immediately ordered his spies to go to Princess Zhu's courtyard to inquire about news.
The spies flew over the eaves and climbed onto the roof of Concubine Zhu's bedroom, lifted a tile and lay down on the roof, listening to the movement in the room.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Concubine Zhu, as expected, it is already the end of the hour, and Concubine Zhu has not gone to bed yet.
There was no one else in the room, only Princess Zhu and a nanny who had been by her side since childhood.
When Concubine Zhu received the order, in order to maintain her concubine's dignity, she had to endure it. At this moment, there was no one else, and she couldn't bear the grievance any longer. She fell into the mother's arms and cried: "Since the prince was arrested, I will stand alone for you." He propped up this huge palace, he was exhausted, he didn't get a full night's sleep, but he only thought about that little bitch! What time is it, and he still wants Mrs. Liu to go to Beijing to accompany him, isn't that obvious? Slap me in the face of this concubine?"
The nanny could only comfort Princess Zhu and said: "Please be safe, Princess, it's not a good thing to go to Beijing. Maybe the prince feels sorry for the princess and doesn't want her to be in danger, that's why he let that bitch of the Liu family go."
Concubine Zhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, patted the table and sneered, "He loves me? How could he still love me? If it weren't for the support of the Zhu family behind me, he would have abolished our mother and son long ago. Shen Xin is the crown prince! It's not like he hasn't thought about it before! But you can see today that the prince is thinking about Liu Shi's charming son, but Liu Shi doesn't want to accompany him. He should really let him see how Liu Shi is today. Let him understand what kind of ruthless and ungrateful woman he usually dotes on!"
"My servant knows that the princess is suffering, but what can I do now," the mother sighed, "The prince is the sky of the palace, if something happens to the prince, the sky of our palace will collapse, and everyone in the palace will suffer accordingly. Princess Let the anger go, but the most urgent thing is to rescue the prince, when the prince returns, he will know who is really with him, and then he will change his mind."
Concubine Zhu also sighed and said: "How can I not know the seriousness, I just closed the door and complained, can I really ignore him? Even for Hui'er, I have to rescue the prince, I only hope for him When you come back, you can say something about our mother and son, don't be fooled by that vixen of the Liu family, as long as Hui'er's position as the eldest son can be stabilized, even if I die, I will rest in peace."
Momo suddenly lowered her voice, "Princess, I don't know if I should say something or not."
Concubine Zhu said curiously: "You are my confidant, you can say whatever you want."
The mother said: "Now that the prince and the Liu family are not in the mansion, and the child is already sick and troubled, it is better to take this opportunity... so that no one will threaten the position of the eldest son."
Concubine Zhu understood what she meant, thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "No, the prince loves Shen Xin the most. If Shen Xin has something good or bad, the prince will definitely blame me for not taking good care of me when he comes back, and it will hurt even more." Husband and wife love." At this point, Concubine Zhu suddenly paused, and sighed quietly, "In fact, sometimes I look forward to the return of the prince, but I don't want the prince to come back. To tell you the truth, when I receive the order today I was just thinking, it would be great if the prince and the Liu family died together in the capital, and never come back to let me see them..."
The nanny was shocked, and quickly grabbed Princess Zhu's hand to persuade her, "Princess, don't talk nonsense!"
Concubine Zhu smiled wryly: "Don't worry, I'm just talking to you, I just feel uncomfortable and complain..."
When there was no movement in Princess Zhu's room, the spies quietly returned to the courtyard where Gu Min lived, and reported in detail the conversation between Princess Zhu and her servants tonight with Gu Min.
As Shen Ying expected, Concubine Zhu really complained about King Yong's doting on Concubine Liu's mother and son, but because she was worried that if King Yong fell, the whole Prince Yong's mansion would be buried with him, so she could only choose to hold back.
Then this matter is easy to handle.
The reason why King Yong dares to be confident now is nothing more than relying on two things, one is that he has the iron certificate of the Danshu in his hand, even if he commits a serious crime, he can be saved from death, and the other is that Du Qianren dare not confess his guilt.
Therefore, if you want King Yong to plead guilty, the first thing you need to do is to find a way to invalidate the Iron Coupon of the Danshu in King Yong's Mansion.
The iron certificate of the Dan book is not on King Yong's body, so it could only be that Princess Yong is keeping it. From the conversation between Princess Zhu and her servants tonight, it can be heard that she is actually thinking about her husband and wife relationship with King Yong. Unless it is a last resort, she will never betray King Yong.
Then you have to think about how to force Princess Zhu to come to this "last resort" time.
The person Princess Zhu cares about the most, besides King Yong, is her son Shen Hui, and the Danshu iron coupon can only save one person's life. If King Yong and Shen Hui commit the crime of beheading at the same time, then Princess Zhu will Take out the Danshu Iron Coupon and save who?
This is the plan Shen Ying came up with.
The reason why Gu Min hid his identity and came to Prince Yong's mansion in disguise was because Shen Ying entrusted him with the task of finding a way to abolish the iron certificate of the alchemy book in Prince Yong's mansion. When Concubine Zhu handed over Du Chengmei, King Yong lost two reliances at the same time, and he would surely die.
At this time, the spy that Gu Min sent out to inquire about the news in the courtyard of Prince Yong's son Shen Hui also came back. The spy reported to him that Shen Hui was drinking and having fun with his concubine in the room, complaining that being locked up in the palace all day could not Going out, I almost fell ill, and after drinking, I became addicted to gambling, and I dragged the boy to push Pai Gow to gamble.
His father has been arrested in the prison in the capital, Shen Hui can still drink and have fun so heartlessly, it's no wonder that King Yong has the idea of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, even if there is no title inheritance in the family, he will replace it with an ordinary one. Ordinary families would not let such prodigal sons inherit their property.
But if they want to cut down the feudal clan, then the imperial court would like to have more foolish princes like Shen Hui, the better. One generation is not as good as the next generation. At that time, there is no need for the imperial court to suppress it with all kinds of troops, and the ancestors' foundation will be defeated first.
After Gu Min collected information about Concubine Zhu and Prince Shen Hui, he had already formed a complete plan in his mind.
In the early morning of the second day, the eunuchs and the eunuchs who passed the decree set off back to the capital first with Concubine Liu, but after Gu Min followed the large army out of Prince Yong's Mansion, he did not follow him out of the city, but changed into ordinary people's clothes with a few cronies. clothes, and wandered around the city looking for news about Shen Hui.
No one in Yong City knew about Shen Hui, Prince Yong's son, within half a day, Gu Min's people found out all about Shen Hui.
Shen Hui is a dandy whose virtue is worse than that of Prince An. He eats, drinks, and gambles with women. Because of his status as the son of the world, the people of Yongcheng can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
But there is one person in Yongcheng who is not afraid of Shen Hui, that is Concubine Liu's younger brother Liu Jun, Liu Jun is the only male in the family, he is loved by his parents and his sister Concubine Liu, King Yong loves the house and Wu, so naturally he is very fond of this The brother-in-law also took good care of him, so Liu Jun was not afraid of Shen Hui's power.
Concubine Liu was favored by King Yong, so her family became a big family in Yongcheng. Yongcheng is such a big place. Shen Hui and Liu Jun, two sons who are about the same age, will inevitably meet each other in the city. Concubine Zhu She and Concubine Liu are rivals, so they are naturally in the same situation, and they will quarrel whenever they meet.
Gu Min ordered people to find out the details of Liu Jun, but it turned out that Liu Jun was even more lawless than Shen Hui. Xiao was doted on by his family and grew up with the support of his sister and King Yong. On weekdays, he bullied men and women in Yongcheng, beat, smashed, looted and burned him.
Gu Min was worried that he couldn't find a way to make Shen Hui commit the crime, and in the end, Liu Jun was sent to him immediately. This time, God really helped him.
Gu Min ordered people to watch the movement of Liu's house secretly, and when Liu Jun went to the casino to gamble one day, he ordered the defenders guarding King Yong to reveal their flaws, and deliberately put Shen Hui, who was already maddened by the palace, out of the palace.
Shen Hui has been addicted to gambling for a few days, betting with the boys in the mansion for a little bit of money is not as fun as going to the gambling house, as soon as he left the mansion, he went straight to the biggest gambling house in Yongcheng, and naturally met Liu Jun.
As soon as the two met, they still scolded each other with guns and sticks like before, but because of such a big incident in Prince Yong's Mansion, they were not in the mood to be angry with each other, so they separated and stood on both sides of the gambling table to gamble.
At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, but after Shen Hui lost a few times in a row, his complexion began to turn ugly. On the contrary, Liu Jun, Liu Jun specially bet against Shen Hui, Shen Hui bet big and he bet small, Shen Hui bet He bet big, but he won all of them, which made him very happy!
How did these two people think that the banker who was in charge of rolling the dice had been bribed by Gu Min long ago, just to make Shen Hui lose everything and make him anxious.
Sure enough, Shen Hui took the bait, and the old habit of being red-eyed after losing too much, and the person who won him was his arch-enemy Liu Jun, made him even more furious. Qian, of course Liu Jun couldn't admit it, and instead he laughed at Shen Hui for not being able to lose, and among the people present, there was Jin Yiwei who was pretending to be a gambler and deliberately made fun of Shen Hui. Liu Jun rushed over, but Liu Jun didn't fear him, he threw the fan in his hand and stepped forward, and the two scuffled together like this.
The casino suddenly became chaotic, and suddenly someone screamed and shouted: "Killed! Killed!"
Shen Hui, who pressed Liu Jun on the ground and punched him for a long time, woke up suddenly, realizing that Liu Jun hadn't fought back for a long time?
He fixed his eyes on Liu Jun's face, and saw that Liu Jun's eyes were closed tightly, his face was as white as paper, and he had no reaction at all!
Shen Hui probed Liu Jun's nose with trembling fingers, and found that Liu Jun had already lost his breath. He was frightened out of his wits, stood up staggeringly and kept backing away. Looking around, he found that everyone was looking at the murderer. Looking at him, Shen Hui didn't want to think about it anymore, and hurriedly ran out of the gambling house with the young man as if fleeing.
Concubine Zhu was worrying about saving King Yong in the mansion, when suddenly Shen Hui rushed into her room, knelt down beside her legs, yelling for her mother to save him with snot and tears.
Concubine Zhu was puzzled and asked Shen Hui what happened. Shen Hui faltered and told the ins and outs to Princess Zhu. .
Princess Zhu pushed Shen Hui away, pointed at him and asked tremblingly: "You said you beat Liu Jun to death?!"
Shen Hui said with a mournful face: "He was the one who laughed at me first, who knew he couldn't help hitting him so much, I just punched him twice, and he lost his breath... Concubine Mu, you have to find a way to save your son!"
Concubine Zhu was angry and impatient, and said bitterly: "How do you ask me to save you? So many people saw you beat Liu Jun to death, how do you ask me to save you? Wait a minute, our palace is surrounded by Jin Yiwei, How did you get out again?"
Shen Hui said with a guilty conscience: "I slipped out while they were changing defenses. It's too boring to stay in the mansion."
Princess Zhu slapped Shen Hui hard after hearing this, and cursed: "How could I give birth to such a son as you!"
Shen Hui covered his face and howled: "What's the use of scolding me now, you have to find a way to save me!"
"Who is it wrong for you to kill, but Liu Jun? He is the only seedling of the Liu family. When your father comes back, if that bitch of the Liu family finds out that her brother is dead, he will definitely make trouble in front of your father. , when the time comes..." Concubine Zhu imagined the consequences, covered her face in despair and cried bitterly, "Even if your little life can be saved, your position as the son of the world will definitely not be saved! How can we, mother and son, have a foothold in this palace in the future? part!"
Shen Hui was also extremely remorseful and desperate, he slumped on the ground in a daze, and muttered to himself: "It would be great if the father and Concubine Liu could not come back..."
After hearing Shen Hui's words to herself, Princess Zhu scolded her son angrily: "Nonsense! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"The son is not talking nonsense," a man's clear voice suddenly came from outside the door, "according to Ben Hou, the son sees things much more clearly than the concubine."
Concubine Zhu raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw many Jinyi guards came in from the yard at some time, and the leader was wearing a red flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist, he was heroic and imposing.
Those in Jinyiwei who can wear the flying fish uniform given by the emperor must have a high official position. Concubine Zhu looked at Gu Min and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"
Gu Min walked into the room with Xiu Chundao in his hand, and bowed to Princess Zhu, "Marquis of Linyang, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Gu Min, pays homage to Princess Zhu."
"You are the Marquis of Linyang?!" Although Princess Zhu was in Yongwang's mansion, she had also heard of Gu Min's prestige in the suppression of the rebellion. After hearing Gu Min's self-identification, she was surprised and said, "How could you be here?" My Yong Palace?"
Gu Min smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter why I am here, the most important thing right now is, does the concubine want to save King Yong, or does she want to save the son?"
Concubine Zhu winked and ordered her servants to help Shen Hui aside, looked at Gu Min warily, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Min glanced at Shen Hui, who was already frightened out of his wits, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows about the son's beating to death in the gambling house, and the Liu family, whose son died, must be ready to hand over the papers to the yamen to sue." The prince is gone, does the concubine still want to hide this from me?"
Concubine Zhu's face turned pale, and Gu Min continued: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Liu Jun was beaten to death by the prince, so many eyes can be seen, and there is no denying it. Wait until King Yong and Concubine Liu return to the palace. , Wangfei thinks, will King Yong kill his relatives righteously?"
"Master Gu, you didn't come here just to make sarcastic remarks, did you?" After all, Concubine Zhu came to her senses after a long time, she pulled Shen Hui to kneel down for Gu Min, and begged bitterly, " Please also ask Gu Houye to point out the way and save my son!"
"The one who can save the son is not this Marquis, but you, Princess Yong." Gu Min's sharp eyes caught Princess Zhu, and said meaningfully, "Don't the princess have a gold medal for avoiding death?"
