Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

Regardless of the fact that Mogu started a drug dealer in the Northeast, after Emperor Pingkang returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was not to thoroughly investigate the assassination by the Jurchen assassins, nor the cause of the death of the sixth prince, but to issue an order to reprimand the prince, and Reward the lineage of the eldest prince.

First, the eldest prince’s uncle—Ye Ming was promoted to the third rank of the Minister of the Ministry of War, and even the eldest prince was named King of Jingjun, but he became the first among all the princes to receive the throne of the county. The pulse was so popular that even the prince took a step back.

In all honesty, during the period when the prince supervised the country, he competed for business, but it was nothing but a rare thing. Even Emperor Pingkang couldn't tell what was wrong with the prince.

The only outrageous thing the crown prince did was to suppress the lineage of the eldest prince. However, the eldest prince and the crown prince have never been in harmony. , so that the sage could not catch something wrong, so he was tabooed by the sage.

For several days in a row, the prince was reprimanded again and again, the prince's mansion was covered with dark clouds, and the expressions of the upper and lower people were extremely bad.

The crown prince Taibao──Hao Shouzheng couldn't help sighing: "Now the lineage of the eldest prince is going to be in trouble again."

Unfortunately, in just a few days, they were able to push the eldest prince's lineage to the bottom of the valley.

Director Tong also frowned slightly, "It would be great if His Majesty returned to Beijing a few days later."

They finally set up a game to frame the eldest prince's lineage, and seeing that it was about to end, the Shengsheng Sheng returned to Beijing at this time, and the success fell short.

The more Chen Zhan thought about it, the more he hated it, "If it weren't for those Jurchen assassins, the Holy Majesty would not have returned to Beijing in a hurry. Those Jurchen assassins really caused us trouble."

When mentioning the Jurchen assassin, Master Tong's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he shrank back quietly.

Seeing Master Tong's evasive expression, Chen Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked loudly, "Brother Tong has a strange expression, but what's the problem?"

Chen Zhanshi was born as an offshoot of the Duke of Qi's mansion, and he has always been proud of his background. He looked down on students from poor families like Master Tong the most, especially the fact that Master Tong became the prince's confidant from a mere seventh-rank body. Jealous and hated, seeing Master Tong's expression was wrong, he quickly clicked it out.

The crown prince also asked: "What is Master Tong's opinion?"

Although Master Tong came from a poor family, he is naturally alert, cunning and deceitful, so maybe he can find a good way.

Master Tong saw that the prince also asked, and said with a wry smile: "This is the holy will, what can I do for a small one, but it's a pity that all our previous efforts have been in vain, and the direction of the court is probably going to be turned again."

What the Holy Majesty is playing is, to put it bluntly, a balancing act. The Crown Prince's power has reached its peak during the period when he was in charge of the country. With the Holy Majesty's disposition, he is bound to hold up the First Prince to suppress the Prince. Yue's painstaking efforts were wasted, and Master Tong was also a little unwilling.

The prince's face was slightly gloomy, and he also thought of this point. Although he is not talented, he has tasted the taste of power, and he is really unwilling to give it back, let alone be angry with his elder brother.

"Hmph!" The prince snorted coldly, "I don't believe there is no other way."

Master Tong shook his head and sighed, "Please be patient with the prince. Fortunately, the eldest prince is married. In order to avoid suspicion, he does not usually enter the palace. As long as His Royal Highness stays in the palace, it is not too humiliating to come to the eldest prince." Prince."

Hao Shouzheng frowned slightly. Although Master Tong seemed to be admonishing the prince, his words were a bit too much, not to mention that he implied that the prince was hiding in the palace, which is really not good. Besides, the prince is a prince after all. Even if the First Prince got his wish for a while, he would never dare to humiliate the Prince, at most it would be disrespectful words.

Master Tong's words aroused the greatest fear in the prince's heart, the prince's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said ferociously: "It's just a bastard, how dare he step on Gu's head."

"Prince!" Master Tong's eyes flashed with joy, but he persuaded with a concerned look: "Prince, please be patient for a while. Right now, the Holy One wants to favor the eldest prince, and we can only obey the holy will."

Master Tong paused for a moment and said: "Besides, the eldest prince is the eldest son of the sage. His Royal Highness should respect the eldest prince a little bit. The sage will be happier when he sees him."

The more Master Tong persuaded, the angrier the prince became, "If I let that person step on my head, what face will I have as a prince."

The person the crown prince hates the most is the eldest prince. He is clearly the eldest son, but he has a concubine elder brother on his head. And because he is slightly older than him by two years, that guy always pretends to be the eldest brother to teach him a lesson. Him, get down on his face.

Master Tong lowered his eyes and pointed out: "This is the holy intention."

The prince's expression was gloomy, and finally said: "In this case, then──"

Before he could finish his sentence, Hao Shouzheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Prince, no!"

"Uncle wants me to endure?" The prince said angrily: "Concubine Hui's mother and son are arrogant and domineering, and even the queen mother was killed by them, so that she died of dystocia. Laughing, isn't it unfilial!"

When the prince mentioned his younger sister who died young, Hao Shouzheng felt a little pain.

Although it was kept secret in the palace, they knew for a long time that the reason why the younger sister had dystocia back then was not only because she was always weak, but also because Concubine Hui called away all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital to treat the seriously ill elder sister. The matter of the prince cannot be separated, if not for this, the prince would not have to lose his mother at birth, and their Hao family could go further.

Although he also resented Concubine Hui's mother and son, Hao Shouzheng still said calmly: "Prince, calm down, if you can't bear it, you will make big plans."

The prince said angrily: "Uncle!"

Hao Shouzheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, calm down for now. I heard that the Holy Majesty was attacked in the northeast this time. The Sixth Prince must lead the thunder to help him out of trouble!?"

"Uncle really believes in such nonsense?" The prince said disdainfully: "Xiao Liu is just a little crybaby, and he is just a crybaby when he dies, how can he have this ability?"

Although Xiao Liu is ten years younger than him, because his father loves the younger princes, he, the elder brother, once hugged and coaxed him.

To be honest, Xiao Liusheng is really good, with pretty features, no wonder his father likes it so much, but this temperament is really worrying, he likes to cry about little things, and he is very timid, like Xiao Liu who loves to cry Ghost, after being a ghost, he has some supernatural powers, he doesn't believe anything.

Presumably, the father felt that the reputation of returning without success was not good, which made people let out the wind, but it was really funny to involve such a crybaby as Xiao Liu.

Hao Shouzheng smiled and said, "As long as the Holy Majesty believes, that's enough."

His Royal Highness was thoughtful, "Uncle, what do you mean...?"

Hao Shouzheng smiled and said: "Although this was done by Concubine Zhen, Concubine Hui's hands are not clean, how about..."

Hao Shouzheng whispered a trick.

The prince nodded again and again, but hesitated slightly, "I'm afraid it's not easy to fool Eunuch Xia."

For this matter in the palace, my father will definitely leave it to Eunuch Xia to investigate. Eunuch Xia has always been loyal to his father, so I'm afraid he won't help him.

Hao Shouzheng sighed, "The old minister and Eunuch Xia still have some friendship, so I have to ask the old minister to give up my old face and ask for a favor."

For the sake of priority, I think Eunuch Xia will give him some favors.

Although they wanted to use Xiao Liu's death to hit the First Prince's lineage, but they also knew in their hearts that what they lost would never come back, and if they turned around, they might end up in the hands of the Holy Majesty.

Director Tong sighed slightly, but unfortunately...a good opportunity was missed.This time they even sacrificed the historian's contacts, but they still couldn't kill the dog emperor.

But...he looked at the prince who still had a bit of aggrieved look on his face, and his thoughts moved slightly.

After Hao Shouzheng left the East Palace, he immediately came to see Xia Dequan himself.

Looking at the gift list sent by the Hao family, Xia Dequan raised his eyebrows slightly, "This time the crown prince gave a great gift."

He pondered slightly, "Have someone invite Master Hao to come in, by the way, ask the waiter to prepare maple dew tea, Master Hao likes this flavor very much."

"Yes." The servant went to work without mentioning it.

"Eunuch." Xiao Xiazi, Xia Dequan's young disciple, saw that there was no one around, and asked curiously: "Eunuch has never been involved in the affairs of these princes, why suddenly..."

The father-in-law is a smart man, no matter how fierce the quarrel between the crown prince and the eldest prince is, he always sits on the wall, looks at the scenery with a smile, and never gets involved in the affairs between the princes, why suddenly today...

"Hey." Xia Dequan patted Xiao Xiazi's forehead angrily, "You can guess what I'm thinking."

Xiao Xiazi was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, and kept shouting, "I don't dare! I beg my father-in-law to save my life!"

Xia Dequan didn't bother to argue with Xiao Xiazi, "Go down, and I will punish you not to speak, not to eat, but to drink water for three days. Think about what you said wrong."

Only ears are allowed in this palace, mouths are not allowed, Xiao Xiazi's temperament needs to be tempered.

"Yes." Seeing his father-in-law, he was fined not to speak or eat for three days, Xiao Xiazi heaved a sigh of relief, and obediently went down to receive the punishment without mentioning it.

After Xiao Xiazi left, Xia Dequan made a deep cut with his nails on the purple jade phoenix hairpin on the gift list sent by Hao's family. Hao Shouzheng was afraid that he would not see him, so he used it. This trick forced him.

Ziyu is reserved for the emperor, and Ziyu Fengchai refers to the empress, and what Hao Shouzheng refers to is naturally the sequence of death in childbirth. The good impression left in the heart of the Holy Spirit was almost consumed by this good brother and good son.

"Brother Xia." Upon seeing Xia Dequan, Hao Shouzheng called Brother Xia affectionately, with a smile all over his face, "It's really not easy to see Brother Xia now."

"Master Hao." Xia Dequan cupped his hands slightly, and said with a little distance: "The young one is a person on the road, so he deserves Master Hao."

"I did it! I did it!" Hao Shouzheng wiped away his tears pretendingly, "When he passed away one after another..."

Xia Dequan raised his brows slightly, knowing that the drama was coming, and Hao Shouzheng changed the subject after a while and said: "Before my sister passed away, I was most worried about the prince, for fear that he would be bullied as a motherless man."

"Lord Hao is too worried." Xia Dequan said with a half-smile: "Don't say that His Majesty always loves the prince the most. The prince is a prince. Who would dare to bully him."

Hao Shouzheng sneered, "This concubine Hui and her son..."

"Master Hao be careful." Xia Dequan reminded: "That's the emperor's concubine, that's what a foreigner like you can put in his mouth."

Mr. Hao has really lost his sense of proportion by taking advantage of the power of the prince. No matter how much the eldest prince and the prince fight, this harem concubine is not something he can peck at.

Hao Shouzheng smiled awkwardly, coughed lightly and said, "It's me who made the waves."

He straightened his expression, "I know that Brother Xia is investigating the cause of the sixth prince's death recently, so I specially sent a message to Brother Xia."

"Oh!" Xia Dequan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hao Shouzheng smiled and said, "Brother Xia, do you know that when the sixth prince fell into the water, only the first prince and his personal eunuch were present beside him?"

Xia Dequan took a sip of maple dew tea, "That's it?"

Xia Dequan glanced lightly at his casual attitude, as if he felt that such a small matter deserved Hao Shouzheng's special mention.

That's right, the sixth prince was pushed into the water by the eldest prince unintentionally, but the main cause of the sixth prince's death was that Concubine Zhen had someone halve the medicine given to the sixth prince on purpose.

Hao Shouzheng smiled, "There is a saying among literati called Chunqiu brushwork. The crown prince just asks Eunuch Xia to make the matter of the eldest prince a little more serious."

Xia Dequan's expression turned pale, a bit displeased, "Master Hao wants me to deceive His Majesty?"

"Grandpa Xia's words are serious." Hao Shouzheng slightly restrained his smile, "It's just a matter of asking for a few more words from your father-in-law. Do you still remember that pearl tire destroying the moon..."

Xia Dequan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Hao Shouzheng for a long time before smiling and said: "Our family really admires Mr. Hao more and more, even the death of my own sister can turn a blind eye or close one eye, it is really enough I can be ruthless."

In his life, he thought that what he had done was absolutely worthy of His Majesty. The only thing was that he had been poisoned by the poison of destroying the moon without knowing it. This poison is extremely rare. Years later, I didn't know about the poison. I never expected that the Hao family knew about it a long time ago.

The smile on Hao Shouzheng's face remained unchanged, "I didn't know much earlier than my father-in-law. This is a legacy of the previous dynasty, and we also learned of this poison by accident."

"Master Hao is too modest." Xia Dequan said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Hao is from a noble family, and his knowledge is naturally extensive. Our family is just a poor family. Even the poor have to cut their own children and grandchildren in exchange for a bite. How can you recognize the legacy of the previous dynasty?"

Xia Dequan made up his mind and continued: "It is true that our family failed to find out the real cause of death back then, but Mr. Hao wanted to use this matter to threaten our family, he must have underestimated our family."

Hao Shouzheng followed suit and nodded, "That's true, but what if the father-in-law sent the sister-in-law into the palace alone?"

Xia Dequan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hao Shouzheng took out from his bosom a white jade pendant engraved with children's game pictures, but it was slightly yellowed and had many black spots. Xia Dequan raised his eyebrows slightly. He still recognized it at a glance.

This white jade pendant was nothing outstanding, but it was a gift from his master, and he always cherished it very much. However, it was accidentally lost two years ago, and he never expected it to fall into the hands of the Hao family.

Only to hear Hao Shouzheng continue: "This bead tire destroying the moon is a kind of incense poison. All incense poisons must have a poisonous primer to be effective. The person who poisoned the poison back then was really scheming. Not only did he have a way to send the spices into the In the palace, you can still smoke this poisonous primer on the father-in-law's personal things, how can the poor sister sister guard against the father-in-law, this is a trick."

The empress is pregnant, and she is pregnant with a legitimate son. The most nervous thing is the sage. The sage was busy with political affairs at the time and couldn't take care of the queen. Xia Dequan, as the sage's personal eunuch, naturally had to help visit her from time to time. The birth of the broken moon was deeply rooted in the empress's body.

Xia Dequan spread his hands, "Return the jade pendant to me!"

Hao Shouzheng smiled triumphantly, knowing that Xia Dequan finally agreed.

Hao Shouzheng carefully put the white jade pendant on Xia Dequan's palm, "Elder-in-law, you have to be careful, this jade pendant is the most unscented, and the poisonous primer is still there."

This jade is the most poisonous, if it wasn't for that person who smoked the poisonous primer that destroys the moon on the jade pendant, after a few years, the white jade will be flawed, even if the Hao family can guess a little bit, they can't figure it out. The method of poisoning.

"Hmph!" Xia Dequan's eyes were slightly cold, "Master Hao actually found out a little bit, why don't you give Dequan a good time!"

Xia Dequan paused for a moment and asked directly: "Who did what happened before and after?"

"Hehe." Hao Shouzheng didn't hide his secrets, "My father-in-law guessed a little bit, so this matter is naturally related to the Zhen family."

Most of the fabrics in the palace come from Zhen's family in Jinling, and most of the reason why this beaded tire Ruiyue can come in is because of Zhen's family. The purpose of coming to Zhen's family is to pave the way for Concubine Zhen.

"It's just a poisonous introduction..." Hao Shouzheng pondered slightly, "I'm afraid it was written by the Bagong family."

It's not that he doesn't want to investigate further, it's just that the Hao family's people in the palace are all used to protect the prince, and there is really no one to investigate this matter. People like them can afford to provoke them.

"Hachigong..." Xia Dequan sneered slightly, "Dequan understands."

Hehe, it's really God's will, this historian, he can't do it if people don't clean him up.

Xia Dequan can remember clearly that Jia Shishi was the first descendant of Hachiko to put his name on the general election list.
