who said you were poor

Naturally, the changes in the northern border cannot be hidden from the people in the capital, just as the northern border has been keeping an eye on the military pay in the capital, so the Beijing people have been keeping an eye on the movements of the northern border.

The Ministry of Household Affairs has long been a member of the Prince's party. The news of the several escorts of food and grass has rekindled the prince's staff to be wary of the Fifth Prince.

As the night deepened, the prime minister changed his carriage and took a secret passage to the prince's study. Several people in the room were listening to the report of the servant of the household department.

The prime minister came out of the secret passage and nodded to the prince, before taking his seat, he stood beside the prince, "The fifth prince, if he is allowed to stay in the northern border, I am afraid he will become king himself."

The prince sat at the head and tapped the armrest with his fingers, "I thought he married a man and was assigned to that kind of barren land, nothing to be afraid of, but I didn't expect him to turn over in the north."

"In just two years, this son has brought about such changes in the northern border. If His Highness is enthroned, it will be even more difficult to control. We should let him return to Beijing as soon as possible."

The two people far away in the north didn't know that they had been targeted by the prince's party.

In the early morning of the next day, the prince's henchmen suddenly mentioned to the emperor the Northern Warlord who was far away in the north, and they praised Yan Cang's military training methods in front of the emperor.

Several people agreed that if there is no war in the northern border at this time, let the king of the northern war return to Beijing to train troops for the emperor. Border defense is of course important, and the defense of the capital naturally cannot be relaxed.

The eldest prince glanced at a few people vigilantly, and stepped forward and said, "The northern border has been in constant war for two years. This year, because the fifth emperor's younger brother is sitting in the town, he is only taking a breather. Isn't it just for the Xiongnu to transfer people back at this time."

With him taking the lead, the First Prince's faction also stood up and offered their words one after another.

Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the crowd, "We will discuss this matter later."

This sentence was discussed again, and a big case was dragged on.

In the autumn of the 37th year of Chengde, the drum of grievances that had not sounded outside the imperial city for more than [-] years was struck, shaking the court in shock.

According to the law of the Wu Dynasty, when the grievance drum is sounded, no matter what people come to complain about, they must first be stamped with [-] big boards; and if the big drum outside the imperial city does not have a huge grievance, no one dares to beat it, just because of this When the drum beats, the person who comes has to endure the hundred boards.

The people nearby who heard the sound of the drum put down their work one after another, and came outside the imperial city to see how wronged this man was.

What was surprising was that the drummer was actually a weak woman, and the people onlookers shook their heads and sighed, this woman looked so thin, she must have lost her breath after a hundred boards, and there was no life left to file a complaint.

However, this woman had survived a hundred boards, and still had some breath in her mouth, she took out a blood-stained complaint from her bosom, and was about to hand it to the guards beside her, when three arrows appeared in the air and shot directly at her head.

Yan Hengzhi, the sixth prince who had just come out from the palace after meeting his mother and concubine, happened to see this scene, and shot down the murderous arrow.

The people onlookers were in an uproar. This was at the foot of the emperor outside the gate of the imperial city. The person who sued the imperial court was almost shot to death under the drumming of grievances. Isn't this an open challenge to the emperor?

Emperor Wu was furious when he heard about it, and ordered Dali Temple to interrogate him overnight.

It's just that after many investigations, it turned out that the crown prince was found. Dali Siqing had always been under the emperor's subordinates. After finishing the case, he handed over the case to the emperor, and did not cover up for the crown prince at all.

After reading the case, Emperor Wu became anxious and fainted, and the first thing he ordered when he woke up was to ground the prince in the prince's mansion.

Emperor Wu knew that the prince had many influences in the court, which was also the result of his acquiescence.

It's just that he never thought that his son had such a big appetite, and his subordinates acted so rampantly, committing all kinds of evil!There is no law!

On the confession presented by Dali Temple, there is a piece of silk cloth covered with bloody handprints, and the owners of these handprints are all deceased.

Emperor Wu looked at Dali Siqing who was kneeling beside the bed, "Go ahead and check, check it out for me and find out!"

After that, he looked at Decheng who was guarding the bed, "Write a letter to Beijing and let Yan Cang come back quickly."

The fact that the prisoner almost died outside the imperial city became Emperor Wu's heart disease. If the arrow dared to point directly at the palace gate today, wouldn't the arrow be aimed at the emperor's head tomorrow!

He handed over the garrison in the imperial city to the prince early in the morning. He never thought that it was this move that made him unable to sleep peacefully today.

The first news Yan Cang received was the handwritten letter from the eldest prince more than a month ago. After reading it, he gave a cold snort and handed the letter to Lin Nuo, "The prince doesn't know what he's doing, please let us go back to Beijing .”

Lin Nuo took the letter from the eldest prince, "It will be the autumn harvest in the northern border soon. If we are asked to reply, it should be during this year's festival, and it should not be in the next few months."

The two of them had a good discussion, but they didn't know that within a week, the person who announced the decree in Beijing arrived at the northern border.

The imperial decree directly said that the King of the Northern Warfare should return to the capital quickly, but fortunately the person who came was the eldest prince, and he told the two of them in detail what happened in Beijing and China recently.

Hearing that the crown prince was confined in the mansion, Yan Cang and Lin Nuo exchanged glances, and had no choice but to accept the order and prepare to return to Beijing.

In the original script, the prince succeeded to the throne smoothly after the death of Emperor Wu, and there was no trouble. Yan Cang was a little surprised that he was suddenly grounded now.

The fact that the crown prince was banned was completely unexpected, and Yan Cang was always a little worried.

According to the law of the Wu Dynasty, the prince can raise three guards, and each guard can accommodate up to 5000 people.Yan Cang simply sent Yan Er to select 5000 people to go south with him.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the capital, after Yan Cang and his party set off, the 5000 people set off from the northern border in batches and stationed outside the capital without knowing it.

On the way back to the city, he passed Mao'er Mountain again. This time, Yan San didn't notice anything unusual around him.

Yan Wu came back from exploring the road and rode beside Yan San, "There is a teahouse not far ahead, you can take a rest."

Riding on the horse, Yan San glanced at the princes and concubines who were riding with him. After two years, the number of bandits in the northern border has decreased by half.

"drive."

The people in Beijing are in a hurry, but the group of them are not in a hurry.

Along the road, Yan Cang and Lin Nuo visited all the cities they passed by, and what was surprising was that they could also see delicious food in the Twelve Cities after leaving the Twelve Cities.

There are also shops that are directly operating under the banner of the Northern Territory, but it's a pity that the shopkeepers are all unfamiliar faces.

Coming out of a restaurant selling northern flavors, Yan Wu couldn't help joking, "This shop doesn't look authentic at first glance."

Lin Nuo himself didn't realize the difference in food, so he curiously asked Yan Wu beside him, "How can this be?"

"Hi! There is no one in the northern border who doesn't know the prince and concubine." After finishing speaking, he looked back at the plaque and smacked his lips, "It's really not authentic."

Lin Nuo patted his head amusedly, "You're the one who talks a lot."

Unexpectedly, it was the concubine who reached out to hit him, Yan Wu looked at Lin Nuo in surprise, "Princess, you are more and more like the prince."

When they arrived in Beijing, the crown prince had been banned for more than a month, Dali Temple was still investigating the case thoroughly, everyone in the court was trembling, and the homes of ministers were ransacked every day in Beijing.

The prisons in Dali Temple are already full of people.

When Yan Cang arrived in the capital, he didn't even have time to return to his residence, so he went directly to Beijing to face the saint.

Fortunately, the eldest prince calculated that they would be going to Beijing in the next few days, and made people wait outside the city every day. When he saw the prince, he got in the car and handed the eldest prince's souvenir to Yan Cang.

In the past two years, the situation in the DPRK and China has become very clear. The emperor clearly intends to pass the throne to the crown prince, but the emperor usually turns a blind eye to everything and just passes it by.

This time, the crown prince disturbed the foundation of the imperial court, not to mention the trade and sale of salt, and even sold official salt as private salt.

There is nowhere to buy official salt, and private salt is expensive and unaffordable, and the common people are forced to do nothing.

Because the woman's family couldn't afford salt, she heard that official salt could be bought in other cities.

He thought about going to a relative's house in another place to exchange some salt for food, but when he got home, he was approached by the government. The merchant is forced to die.

And this kind of appalling thing didn't just happen to this family.

This woman escaped the catastrophe because she was sent to her neighbors as a child bride since she was a child. Unexpectedly, her husband and father-in-law were both arrested and taken to the salt field. A month later, she only revealed the accident. Forget it.

She went to the town to report to the officials, and saw the salt merchants talking and laughing with the adults in the yamen. She endured for half a year and found an opportunity to stop the governor's sedan chair. Who knew that she was escorted into the hands of the salt merchants before the complaint was handed over. .

She was a daughter of a benevolent family, but in the end she was sold into slavery.In the end, he had no choice but to pretend to be a fool and sneak out looking for an opportunity, pretending to be a begging refugee all the way, sneaking into the capital.

"The prince connived at his subordinates to commit such scandals before he ascended the throne, but when he ascends the throne, the people of the Wu Dynasty will still have a way to live!" Lin Nuo grasped Yan Cang's hand angrily after seeing it.

Yan Cang held Lin Nuo's hand back, "I don't know how many prince's eyeliners are in Beijing now, so we should be cautious when speaking outside."

After hearing this, Lin Nuo folded the letter and put it close to his body, "Go and meet the emperor, I will wait for you outside the palace gate."

While talking, the carriage drove to the gate of the capital, and Yan Cang stroked Lin Nuo's long hair soothingly before getting out of the carriage.

Lin Nuo frowned slightly as he watched him step into the palace gate, and thought to himself, after this incident, it would be great if the prince could be abolished.

Yan Cang, who was walking in the palace, was also thinking in his heart, the prince is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others, if he succeeds to the throne, I'm afraid he and Lin Nuo won't have a good time, this script will not be over for a while.

If he can bring down the crown prince and help the eldest prince to ascend to the throne...

Some things need to be planned in advance.

When Yan Cang, who had a plan in mind, met Emperor Wu, he heard that he was asked to take over the imperial forest army and be responsible for the defense of the imperial city, so he immediately accepted the errand.

Emperor Wu, who was in a high position, looked at Yan Cang who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and suddenly said, "If you marry the prime minister's daughter as a concubine, I will make you the crown prince."

Decheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help trembling when he heard Emperor Wu say this suddenly.

And Yan Cang knelt on one knee and clasped his fists without changing his face, "Father was joking, my son is a warrior, his mind can only pretend to be fighting, and nothing else."

Hearing what he said, Emperor Wu continued to ask, "Then who do you think is suitable to be emperor?"

A lot of favorites suddenly increased yesterday, making my hands tremble slightly when I want to sleep on weekends...
