Dream Mirror of Ten Thousand Phases: Illusion of Rebirth 1-3
Time seemed to pass by in a flash.
The handsome young man rides his horse back to the city, attracting the attention of all the women along the way.
Ye Junge, as the only legitimate son and grandson of the Ye family, and also the fact that he just won the Zhongjie Yuan last year, is truly glorious. The Ye family hoped that he would also be able to get the first place in the examination this spring.
The ancestors of the Ye family had three yuan and first grades, so they had very high expectations for Ye Junge.
But Ye Junge himself didn't want to be so public, and the imperial examination was too slow to advance, he only had ten years left, but his enemies could not be defeated by slowly climbing the imperial examination.
[You have packed up the four of the Ye family, but there are still outside the Ye family. But there are only two opponents, one is the third prince of the current dynasty, and the other is the eunuch Zhang Xuan.]
Although there was no such department as Dongchang in this dynasty, because the emperor favored eunuchs, Li Yan, as the emperor's most trusted eunuch, naturally had great power.
The emperor ascended the throne 20 years ago. At that time, he was the prince for nearly 20 years. As a result, the first emperor favored the concubine, and finally forced him to take the throne.
Twenty years later, the emperor's sons have grown up, and it's time to compete for the dragon chair again.
There are two princes in the middle palace, the eldest prince and the third prince.
Although the old emperor valued his son-in-law, he had no obvious preference among the two sons-in-law. However, the third prince has been clever since he was a child, and most of the courtiers are optimistic about this prince. As for the other princes who were not born by the empress, due to the suppression of the old emperor, they could not form a climate.
When Ye Junge was young, he used to go to the palace with his grandmother to attend the annual banquet and met these princes. The eldest prince is calm and has the bearing of a prince, but the third prince is relatively inferior, he is scheming and loses his air.
If he wanted to deal with the Third Prince, it was obviously the best choice for him to attach himself to the First Prince.
Let's talk about those eunuchs.
The old emperor is nearly fifty years old, has a big temper, is arbitrary, and hates people who keep singing against him. At the beginning, in order to repay the old eunuch Li De who had been doing his best for him, he arranged a position of real power for Li De, but before the old emperor said what position he would arrange for Li De, someone jumped out and said how could an eunuch be an official in the court . The official was upright, and when he saw this, he jumped out of a few old-fashioned old-fashioned and told him to judge his ancestors. In a rage, the old emperor ordered Li De to take up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Immediately, someone touched the Panlongzhu angrily, and there was a deadly remonstrance. Now the emperor was even more unhappy, and mentioned Li De's official position to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
Since then, no one has dared to comment on it.
Li Yan is Li De's godson. Li De has a good temper, and he never felt sorry for an official when he was a minister in the Ministry of Officials, but Li Yan was different. Because of Li De's relationship, the old emperor valued Li Yan very much. After Li De passed away, he not only let Li Yan take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but also absurdly arranged for him to sit in a position called Commander of the Six Ministries. All the six parts are under the control of Li Yan. The left and right prime ministers who were originally in charge of the six departments were on the contrary, just like decorations.
The most troublesome thing is that Li Yan is not a magnanimous person, he will report his flaws. Li De was like his own father to him, and when Li De was in the Ministry of Officials, he was often squeezed out secretly by the officials, so after Li Yan became the commander of the Six Ministries, he secretly made a lot of tricks, making everyone who bullied his adoptive father back then The whole family was ruined.
Li Yan loves money, he is in charge of six departments, and others have to give him filial money for promotion and job hunting. Li Yan also likes beauty. Although he is a eunuch, there are many young and beautiful men and women in the house.
Zhang Xuan was Li Yan's enemy, and these years Zhang Xuan was also quite popular with the old emperor, even doing more than Li Yan. Zhang Xuan was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was very ruthless. But Zhang Xuan didn't want to be suppressed by Li Yan all the time, so he often confronted Li Yan, but Li Yan couldn't do anything to him, because the old emperor had always protected him.
Although Li Yan is greedy for money and loves beauty, he is still reasonable and has his own principles. When others ask him to do something, as long as they give him enough money or a beautiful woman, he will definitely do it. Zhang Xuan was not the case, he was insidious and cunning, and he often backtracked on what he said, but everyone had nothing to do with him, and the gift had to be given, although it might not be able to achieve the goal, but not giving it would definitely not work.
Such an enemy is difficult to deal with, and Ye Junge is also planning to take advantage of Li Yan's situation.
If Ye Junge's strength is still there, he can kill two enemies directly, but unfortunately he is just a mortal now.
"Hey, my young master, I'm almost ready to try this, and you keep running outside, where did you get back from?" Chang Sui Yong'an, who the old lady found out after thousands of choices, was waiting at the side door early, Seeing Ye Junge, he hurried up to meet him.
Ye Junge simply dismounted, threw the reins to Yongan, and walked inside by himself: "What do you know? You don't care about the young master's affairs."
The rabbit that was left alone in the mansion was sleeping on the wool carpet in Ci'an Hall at this time.
Ye Junge came in, lifted the curtain to block the wind at the door, and a gust of cold air slipped in, making the sleeping rabbit tremble.
"You child, hurry up and put the curtain down." The old lady was sitting in the side room next to her, warming herself up by the fire, even if she raised the curtain, the air would not get in, otherwise Ye Junge wouldn't dare to make such a big move.
Ye Junge put down the curtain, carried the rabbit into the anteroom, and sat down next to the old man: "How is grandma today?"
"Okay, okay." The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Why did you go out of the city today, Brother Jun? It's freezing in early spring, so don't freeze! Wear two more clothes."
"My grandson went to the temple to make a wish." Ye Junge smiled, and poked the rabbit's chubby body.
"What wish did you make? Signing the letter is auspicious?"
Ye Junge simply sat over, leaning against the old lady and acting coquettishly: "Naturally, I made a wish to let grandma prolong her life."
The old lady was really happy when she heard the words: "Grandma knows you are filial, tell grandma quickly, can you get a good sign?"
"That's natural. The sign says that I will definitely get a good grade in the exam. Grandma, don't worry about it."
The old lady nodded again and again: "It's good luck, it's good luck."
Ye Junge sat with the old man for a while, excused himself to go back to study, and left, leaving the rabbit in the ear room.
After exiting Ci'an Hall, Ye Junge walked towards the study of the elder Ye Minhua.
At this time, both Ye Minhua and Ye Binghua had returned from court and were discussing matters in the study. The battle for the heir apparent is intensifying. The Ye family's two official positions in the court are not low, and they have already been wooed by all parties. Even the concubine princes who seem to have no hope for a long time are also secretly playing tricks.
"Junge? Why didn't you go to review your homework?" Ye Minhua put down the brush in his hand, threw the written paper into the charcoal basin and burned it to ashes.
Ye Junge vaguely saw the word "long".
"Anyway, the exam is coming soon, so it's fine if you don't study again." Ye Junge found a random place to sit down.
Ye Binghua shook his head disapprovingly: "It's also useful to hold Buddha's feet temporarily."
Ye Junge smiled, but didn't answer.
Ye Minhua shook his head: "Do you have something to say here?"
Only then did Ye Junge put away his indecency, and he sat up slightly: "Uncle, father, but is there a prince here to win you over?"
"You don't care about this matter, everything will be discussed after the palace examination."
"But I don't want to do too well in the exam to attract people's attention." Ye Junge said lightly.
"Oh?" The two brothers looked at each other, "Why?"
"If I pass the Sanyuan test, they won't let the Ye family go."
The truth is so, but just because of this good fortune of giving up the three yuan and the first...
"It is simply impossible for the Ye family to escape the muddy waters of seizing the heir. It is better to make a plan. I did not do well in the exam this time, so that they can pay less attention to the Ye family. It is not easy for the Ye family to stand in line. Discover."
It is too risky to be in the team clearly, but it is sometimes more useful for those princes to stand in the team secretly.
"Then which Highness do you think is suitable?" Ye Minhua couldn't help nodding when he heard the words, this nephew really lived up to their years of cultivation.
Ye Junge smiled inexplicably: "Of course Mr. Li Yan is suitable."
Ye Minhua and Ye Binghua were taken aback for a moment, then suddenly clapped their hands and laughed.
"Good boy, you are really treacherous!"
Ye Jiaming stood behind Li Yan, then those people would disdain to be with the Ye family, and the Ye family would also be free from harassment from various forces. But Li Yan is not a life-saving card. What he is doing now has provoked anger and resentment. Once the old emperor dies, no matter who is in power, he will not let him go, so the Ye family can only attach to Li Yan on the surface. As long as the prince secretly supported by the Ye family takes the throne, not only will the Ye family be fine, but they will also have the merits of being a dragon, and even get a lot of benefits from helping the new emperor clean up Li Yan.
"This matter, who will go?"
"I'll go." Ye Junge said with a smile, "I didn't pass the imperial examination. In order to get a good position, I have to rely on Mr. Li."
The two brothers were silent for a long time, and nodded in agreement.
"You're old too, let's go do it." Ye Binghua was still a little worried about his son, but Ye Minhua felt that the Ye family had successors, so he patted Ye Junge on the shoulder, "Don't let us down."
When Ye Junge was about to go out, Ye Minhua suddenly realized: "No, you haven't said which prince you are going to support, don't try to fool it!"
Ye Junge looked innocent: "Didn't uncle and father already have an idea?" Doesn't the word "long" on that piece of paper refer to the eldest prince
Ye Minhua scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who is smart, get out of here."
Ye Junge smiled but said nothing.
The general examination ended soon, Ye Junge did well in the examination, although he didn't get the honor, he also got the second place.
The palace examination not long ago surprised everyone. I thought that this genius from the Ye family could make a fortune, but he didn't expect to get only a second-class Jinshi.
Could it be that this genius was frightened when he saw the Holy One, so he couldn't perform properly
After the palace examination results came out, Ye Junge prepared generous gifts and went to Li Yan's residence.
"What kind of wind brought the genius of the Ye family here?" Li Yan sat on the main seat, looked at Ye Junge, and smiled strangely.
Ye Junge smiled: "I can't be called a genius, I didn't perform well in the palace examination, and I didn't get a good ranking, so I have to come here to trouble your lord. I hope your lord will accept it as a small gesture." As he spoke, he presented the gift with his own hands.
Li Yan didn't like people calling him father-in-law, so Ye Junge naturally wouldn't touch him.
This time I didn't bring a regular suit, but Ye Junge came to the door with a gift in person, which seemed full of sincerity.
When Li Yan saw the gift, his smile became more sincere, and he was accepted by others.
"Young Master Ye, sit down." Li Yan's voice was not as high-pitched as that of ordinary eunuchs, but it sounded nice, and he was very handsome, so it was no wonder that many men and women were willing to be his confinement.
Ye Junge wasn't pretentious, so he sat down and made friends with Li Yan.
Not long after, the handsome little eunuch came back and whispered a few words in Li Yan's ear. Li Yan waved him to go down, and looked at Ye Junge with affectionate eyes.
"Please trouble Mr. Ye to go there personally. If you need any help, just send someone to tell me."
"I have admired your lord's name for a long time, and I wanted to take this opportunity to meet the real person." Ye Junge said with a smile, "My father and uncle asked me to take care of you when I came here this time. I hope that next time we meet, there will be no trouble."
Li Yan's eyes flashed: "Oh? That's natural. I may not have spoken to the two Ye adults for a long time. I don't know when I will be free? You can go to the drunk building to talk."
Ye Junge smiled: "There are so many people in that kind of place, what if I offend my lord? Tomorrow, if you're free, you can come to my Ye mansion for a small gathering. My father specially ordered someone to invite the chef from the drunk building Come to hold the spoon, I don't know what you want?"
Li Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Your Ye family still know how to behave, so I'd rather be respectful than obedient."
Ye Junge and Li Yan reached an agreement, and then they were going to hook up with the First Prince.
The eldest prince is also smart, and secretly sent someone to contact Ye Junge. In his opinion, this genius of the Ye family probably failed the exam on purpose.
Ye Junge didn't take Joe either, and let the First Prince slip through the cracks, and then the two hit it off and decided to cooperate.
The Ye family took refuge in Li Yan.
Colleagues couldn't understand it. Some guessed that the Ye family wanted to avoid taking the throne, while others thought that the Ye family went to join because of that genius who was out of order. No matter what it is, this is not a good move. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a eunuch like Li Yan won't be in power for long, and this move will ruin the future of the Ye family.
"Lord Ye, it's... not me talking about you, how can you get along with someone like Li Yan?" The Ye family's good friend couldn't help persuading him when he heard the news, "Then Li Yan will do anything for money and beauty..."
Ye Minhua thanked the other party for his kindness: "To be honest, I have no other choice. The Ye family really can't get involved in the matter of seizing the heir. My family's ancestral training is... eh!"
The other party looked at him sympathetically, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the Ye family had never participated in Seizing the Inheritance, and he believed it 70% in his heart, otherwise he would not be able to explain why the Ye family would do this.
"You... eh, that's all..." The man patted Ye Minhua on the shoulder, "You have to be careful, leave a few more escape routes for the Ye family."
"That's natural." Ye Minhua nodded gratefully.
Back in Ye Mansion, Ye Minhua went to greet the old lady first.
Ten years ago, Ye Liuge was poisoned to death. As the culprit who poisoned his grandson, the second master was removed from the family tree and expelled from the house. Before Ye Junge could do anything, he himself died due to depression and illness. In addition to Ruyi and Qiuyu who were executed before, the four possessors of the Heavenly Dao in the Ye family have all been eliminated.
However, the death of his grandson and his favorite son was a heavy blow to the old man. He was not in good health when he was old, and a few years later, the old man also passed away.
"Mother."
"Have you come back from court?" The old lady saw that her eldest son was very happy, and asked him to come over and sit down quickly, "I have heard from Brother Jun that I don't know anything about court affairs, so be careful when you make up your own minds." , the Ye family's rise and fall over the years is all tied to you, so don't dishonor the name of your ancestors."
"If the son saves it, the mother can rest assured."
Ye Minhua quit, saw Ye Junge outside holding a rabbit and molesting the little maid, walked over and slapped him lightly on the back.
"Didn't you just get an errand? You still stay at home and don't do your job properly. You dare to touch the maid in your grandmother's yard."
Ye Junge looked wronged: "My nephew just asked her grandma how her appetite is and what she ate, so why did she become a disciple."
"You are the only one who is right." Ye Minhua snorted, "Come with me."
It's unknown what the two of them were plotting in the study, anyway, after Ye Junge came out, he became more lazy and didn't do things well. Walking the birds and looking at the flowers every day, I have to go for a few laps in the street from time to time, firing at the young girls and daughters-in-law along the road, a full-fledged playboy. On weekdays, Ye Junge in the yamen would just go to order something, and he would leave after a short time, making his colleagues at the peak shake their heads when he mentioned this person.
"You mean the youngest son of the Ye family? I also thought that he would be diligent even if he is well educated. What happened? Hey, let's not talk about it. I'm afraid he read too much before, and he didn't want to work hard after the imperial examination. , thinking about eating, drinking and having fun all day long."
Ye Junge caught Li Yan's eyes instead.
Li Yan is also a beauty lover, and invites Ye Junge to visit beauties at his house from time to time.
The two are very similar in that they just look but don't touch, Li Yan is because he doesn't have that ability, and Ye Junge doesn't know who he is defending himself like a jade at all.
Li Yan didn't know the reason for this, and thought that Ye Junge was just accommodating him, but he agreed with this friend more and more in his heart.
Li Yan is not very old, about twenty-five, standing with Ye Junge, they are like brothers. Most of the time, Ye Junge doesn't like to go around and go straight. On the contrary, it makes Li Yan, a deep-minded person, like him very much. .
Although Ye Junge played tricks, Li Yan was not his opponent.
"Why did you come here?" Li Yan dragged Ye Junge, who was late, to the inside, "I just paid tribute to a peerless beauty yesterday, and you liked it after seeing it."
"Male or female? What type? You said last time that you are a peerless beauty, but I don't think it's as good-looking as that Mr. Liu An."
Li Yan glared at him: "Don't even think about it, Liu'an is my treasure at the bottom of the box."
Ye Junge gave him a contemptuous look: "Last time you said that Ruixin is your treasure at the bottom of the box."
"That was last time, this time it's Liu'an." Li Yan emphasized, "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to see it?"
"Look, don't look for nothing, I can't meet so many beauties on the street."
"You kid just owes scolding..."
The two walked shoulder to shoulder towards the backyard.
Li Yan, once you make friends with him, he will become very straightforward. Ye Junge gets along with him fairly easily, and he is willing to come to the house to spend more time.
Eunuchs don't like others to treat him as a special person. You have to treat him as a normal person to make him happy.
Ye Junge and he admired beauties, listened to music and drank, and returned home only in the middle of the month. When Ye Binghua caught him, he would be reprimanded.
"I don't know what you and your uncle want to do. You boy are not allowed to go home so late in the future."
Ye Junge made a bitter face when he heard the words: "Li Yan is pulling me to drink."
Ye Binghua pretended he didn't hear him at all, and walked back with his son, intending to give him a good lesson.
Spring has passed and autumn has come, and it has been more than half a year since the Ye family took the position, and the competition for the heir in the court has become more and more fierce, especially the two factions of the son, who are pinching each other like pink eye, irrational at all.
The old emperor looked bored, he was not dead yet, the two sons seemed to wish they could ascend the throne in the next second.
Finding an excuse to suppress a few people from the two factions, it made them calm down a lot for a while.
But on the surface, he was peaceful, but he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
The news of the eldest prince's assassination came that day.
These days were spent preparing for the emperor's autumn hunting. For the sake of the accompanying driver, the two princes kept making small moves in secret. In the end, the eldest prince was slightly inferior and was stabbed.
The eldest prince Qiu Lie couldn't go, and he couldn't stay in Jianguo, because I heard that the eldest prince was seriously injured and he shouldn't work hard.
The old emperor sighed secretly when he heard the news, and ordered his son to rest and recover from his injuries, and stop jumping around.
The third prince was very happy, but he was also a little vigilant, because the assassin was not sent by them, and there was no need for the first prince to direct and perform such an act, after all, it was thankless.
That is to say, there is another force behind their backs that is comparable to them, and even the eldest prince has been recruited.
Just in case, the third prince's lineage decided to start dealing with those concubine brothers.
The emperor really loved his sons, but if the sons were all dead, sooner or later these sons would be able to succeed.
The third prince didn't find out who did it, so if that's the case, they should be cleaned up together.
On the day of Qiu Lie, the three princes accompanied him, and the emperor ordered Li Yan to supervise the country.
The ministers were panicked, and repeatedly asked His Majesty to let the left and right prime ministers supervise the country together, saying that Li Yan was inexperienced, and the state affairs were busy, and there were two prime ministers to share, and Li Yan could take more rest.
The emperor wanted to smooth his hair, and after hearing such remonstrance, he thought about it in his heart, and it was true, so he played it.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. How decent is it for a eunuch to manage a large country! Moreover, this person is really ruthless, they are afraid that one day the other person will find that they are not pleasing to the eye, so they will clean it up.
As soon as the emperor left, Ye Junge ran to Li Yan's mansion to congratulate him, but was kept by Li Yan for a drink, and then received a letter from the eldest prince, asking him to come over earlier.
Not long ago, Ye Junge was moved by the eldest prince and transferred to a better position, so he sold the Ye family. Everyone thought that the eldest prince was still trying to win over the Ye family, and they were not afraid that other people who were attached to him would have opinions.
In short, with this reason, Ye Junge was often called to the First Prince's Mansion to discuss matters. The outsiders didn't doubt it, because no matter how many times Ye Junge went there, the Ye family didn't say a word for the eldest prince, winking at the blind man. What's more, Ye Junge is just a dude, not worth mentioning, he certainly can't represent the Ye family.
Sometimes the more above board the less suspicious.
"Junge, you are here." The first prince paced around the room, seeing Ye Junge hurried up to greet him, the servants on the left and right backed away with great eyes.
Ye Junge avoided his outstretched hand indiscriminately. The eldest prince had a little thought for him, but Ye Junge didn't intend to fall in love with him.
"Why is Your Highness in such a hurry?" Ye Junge drank hangover soup before coming, but was still a little dizzy.
The first prince looked at him tenderly, but the confusion and anxiety that could not be concealed between his brows, seeing Ye Junge dozing off slightly, swallowed his words, and turned to concern him: "Are you drinking? Do you want to start?" Go to the side hall to rest."
Ye Junge shook his head: "It's okay." He found a seat and sat down.
Seeing this, the first prince couldn't say much, he sighed: "Junge, why did you let me direct and act in such a show?"
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Ye Junge regained consciousness slightly, "Since Your Highness is pretending to be seriously injured, then even if it's in your own residence, you should do the whole thing."
The eldest prince smiled wryly: "I was reckless, I'll let someone do it later."
Ye Junge was noncommittal. The eldest prince has become more and more irritable these years, and he has lost his temper. If he hadn't been so easy to control, Ye Junge would not have chosen him.
"You are not allowed to participate in this autumn hunt, those people are going to do it."
"You mean my brothers?" The eldest prince was surprised.
Ye Junge nodded: "I'm afraid the third prince will be prepared this time, and it doesn't matter who wins the battle. You can also do something about your arrangement. No matter who wins when the time comes, you just need to take advantage of it."
The eldest prince clapped his palms and smiled: "This plan is very clever, Junge, you are indeed the right arm of the palace!"
"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will leave."
The eldest prince was a little bit reluctant, but he didn't dare to stop him.
"Be careful on the way, go home early to rest."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
"Master?" Seeing Ye Junge coming out, Yong'an hurried up to meet him. Fearing that he would be cold in the autumn, he quickly put on a cloak for him.
"Why are you here?" Ye Junge tugged on the cape, he was not used to wearing it.
"The old lady is afraid that you will be cold, so she specially asked the little one to deliver the cloak."
It's easy to inquire about Ye Junge's whereabouts, there are few people in the capital who don't know him, and Ye Junge usually goes out on the streets or goes to Li Yan or the First Prince's Mansion, and occasionally goes to the mansion to order a job. After Yong'an asked a few people, he knew that Ye Junge had come to the First Prince's Mansion, and the servants of the First Prince's Mansion also recognized him, so they didn't dare to stop him.
"There will be changes in the capital soon, so don't go out casually." Ye Junge ordered in a low voice, declined the carriage from the First Prince's Mansion, and returned home with Yong'an.
Yong'an carefully chewed on his young master's words, a little confused, what's going on? It's just that the Holy Majesty went out to hunt, and the sky is about to change
Things went smoothly beyond Ye Junge's expectation.
The third prince thought that what happened before was done by a few concubine brothers, but he has quite a few brothers who are old enough to win the throne, so he stared at several people all day long, exhausting himself physically and mentally.
When the horses were frightened during the hunt, the third prince was secretly looking at the second prince with a strange expression. Unexpectedly, his horse suddenly rushed towards the emperor's horse. The timing of the third prince pulling the rein was too late, and the emperor was knocked off the horse. .
The third prince was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't react until he heard everyone shouting "Guardian" and "Prince Physician", and quickly dismounted to check the emperor's situation.
Speaking of which, the guards were negligent in their duties. The guards around the emperor didn't even notice the situation here, and the hidden guards never stopped him, allowing the third prince to rush straight over.
The third prince doesn't have the heart to guess who framed him now, let's talk about rescuing the emperor first.
If the emperor was so unlucky, even if he took the opportunity to ascend to the throne, he would be regarded as a regicide and treason by everyone.
"Father!" The third prince knelt before the emperor collapsed and cried sincerely. The guards couldn't pull him away, so they could only stare vigilantly, for fear that the third prince would do something frantic again.
The emperor woke up after being in a coma for two days. He didn't quite remember what happened before, but when he heard the third prince's cry, he rolled his eyes angrily and passed out again.
Now the guards didn't dare to let the third prince stay here anymore, and dragged him out regardless of his status. The room was under martial law, and no one other than the imperial physician and the queen was allowed to enter or leave.
After the emperor woke up again, he inquired about the situation at that time, and his confidant quickly explained the matter, and reported the results of the investigation to him by the way.
It turned out that the dark guards were all stunned for some reason that day - thanks to 004's efforts - no one was able to rescue him in time, and a silver needle was inserted into the third prince's horse, and it was this needle that drove the horse crazy. But it's hard to say who inserted the silver needle, maybe someone framed the third prince, or the third prince directed and acted himself.
The matter of the emperor being injured and comatose is not over yet. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation. The third prince was indeed innocent, but the other concubine princes all intervened, causing the emperor to be furious, and immediately ordered the confinement of these princes.
At this time, the First Prince's troops started to strike.
They quietly hunted a deer and put it among the third prince's trophies.
The emperor was injured on the second day of the autumn hunting, and there was also hunting on the first day, but the spoils reported by the third prince at that time did not include deer.
The loot was checked and recorded by someone, but now there is an extra deer.
Someone reported to the emperor that the third prince hunted a deer but secretly hid it and did not pay tribute to His Majesty.
Compete for the game, this is the idea of fighting the world!
The emperor was most jealous of someone thinking about his throne, even if it was his own son. In addition to the collision between the three princes before, the old emperor punished him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes in a fit of anger. If it wasn't for the queen's intercession, I'm afraid he would have ended up in the confinement.
The third prince knew that he had been tricked, but he didn't know who did it this time.
After all the princes, only the eldest prince was left alone, and now everyone recalled that the eldest prince had long been aware of everyone's plots and tricks, and he used his injuries to stay away from right and wrong.
I'm afraid the previous assassination was also arranged by him, right
The few princes were all gone, and the situation was very good. The eldest prince wanted to take this opportunity to invite Ye Junge to his house for a small gathering, but he was rejected.
"Your Highness is in the spotlight right now, so it's not easy for me to come." Ye Junge explained a few words, but didn't say much.
When the Ye family came to the door at this time, in the eyes of outsiders, they had surrendered to the eldest prince. Although the third prince was grounded, he had not been deprived of the right to succeed after all, and it was not yet time to announce the relationship between the Ye family and the eldest prince.
After all, Ye Junge just didn't trust the eldest prince. If the First Prince was still what he saw back then, he might still be more like a qualified heir, but the current First Prince is really a bit unbearable.
In addition to being irritable, I'm afraid I have to remember one more thing, greedy for beauty.
But it doesn't matter, this is just a game, he only needs to kill the third prince and Zhang Xuan.
Ye Junge hadn't moved Zhang Xuan for so long, because as long as he helped the eldest prince to the throne, the other party would naturally take the initiative to clean up these eunuchs, but now it seems that the eldest prince is not ready to take the throne.
Because the rules of the game are there, 004 can't directly help Ye Junge kill, at most he can do some small tricks, and Ye Junge doesn't want to rely on 004 too much. His intuition told him that there were still several games to come, and 004 might not always follow him.
Although he didn't visit the first prince, Ye Junge went to meet Li Yan.
"Brother Yan, I thought of a good way to get rid of that Zhang Xuan." Ye Junge said in a low voice when they met, which really surprised Li Yan.
"really?"
"Seriously." Ye Junge laughed, "It's not easy for such a big incident to happen this time, His Majesty certainly doesn't mind finding out more, so we can just pour dirty water on that person."
Li Yan hesitated: "Is this possible?" The emperor's trust in Zhao Xuan was obvious to all.
"Of course it is possible. Everything that involves treason will be different in nature. Just wait and see, the third prince will not stop there. He has now been cleared of the crime of killing his father, even if he forced the palace to rebel. Moreover, history books are not written by the emperor as he wants, so it is better to fight to the death than to be grounded."
He has been fighting against each other for so many years, and it is time for him to know who is the number one eunuch.
"Brother Yan, if you need my help, even if you say yes, I still have some contacts from the Ye family."
"It's enough to have your words." Li Yan rejoiced, "He is really my good brother!"
Ye Junge smiled, hiding the deep thought in his eyes.
It doesn't matter whether the third prince will plot treason or not, send more people to provoke him, if the other party is not fooled, then spend more time to make him look like treason. It would be better for the other party to seriously seek rebellion when he is in the trap, and it will save him trouble.
The third prince is now grounded and has no access to outside news. Ye Junge just needs to use his hands to prepare his subordinates to plot rebellion in the name of the third prince. There are definitely people under the third prince who can't sit still.
As for Zhang Xuan, this person is full of loopholes, so don't be too convenient to pour dirty water on him.
