Chapter 246: conspiracy

It is late at night.
The Shaoan Hall, one of the East Palace Group Halls, was still lit.
In Jane's room, there was a chess board on the couch, and the princess knelt and sat in front of her, holding the sunspot in her hand, uncertain.
Opposite her, the person playing with her was Fang Shaojian who had disappeared for a long time.
After Fang Shaojian was wanted, he was first hidden in a cloth house in the city, and now in the East Palace.
Seeing that the crown prince Sun's hesitate, he reminded him, "When you make a decision, you should make a decision. Don't look forward and backward when doing things."
Crown Prince Sun smiled softly and dropped Heizi, "Think carefully before we can take every step steadily."
Fang Shaojian pointed out, "The timing is fleeting. It is good to think carefully, but it is indispensable to respond to danger."
Crown Prince Sun smiled and said, "What Shaojian Fang said. Then, what is the timing?"
This seems to refer to the chess game, but it also seems to refer to something else.
Shao Jian Fang took charge of Bai Zi, and simply fell down, and then said: "The time is not yet."
Princess Sun raised her eyebrows, seemingly dissatisfied.
She said: "The is dead, and it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it."
Fang Shaojian smiled coldly, "Although the is dead, the people behind the are not without the strength to fight back. At this time, he attacked rashly and beware of being backlashed."
The princess Sun frowned and thought, "The two things of robbery and private coinage are enough to pull a bunch of people."
"But it's not enough to bring down the king." Fang Shaojian said loudly.
The prince's concubine Sun snorted, "King Ning's envoy has been hidden in the East Palace for decades. One attack caused the prince to die. How can we not report this hatred?"
Shaojian Fang looked at the princess Sun with a smile, "If it weren't for our family reminded, the empress and the princess are still kept in the dark, accompanied by poison every day.
The body of His Royal Highness the prince would soon die of a sudden illness. Fortunately, our family discovered the strangeness in time and saved the prince's life.
Afterwards, our family told the empress about the princess Huyang secretly coining coins with her husband and robbing the tomb.
It was also our family secretly arranged that King Ning was caught off guard. One by one, our family has done so much for the East Palace. Can the mother still believe in our family? "
The crown prince Sun laughed instantly, with a particularly sincere expression, "Shao Jian Fang misunderstood, if this palace does not believe you, how can it act according to your plan. This palace is just unwilling to watch King Ning get away with it."
Shao Jian Fang suddenly lowered his voice, "Manny, remember those things our family said to you last time?"
Crown Princess Sun's face changed drastically, "I have to mention those words again."
Shaojian Fang smiled, "No extraordinary means, extraordinary things cannot be done. Looking at the whole world, King Ning is just a on the chessboard. Empress should aim at the real king, the emperor!"
"You are presumptuous!" The prince concubine Sun was horrified, but fortunately there were only two of them in Jane's room.
Shao Jian Fang didn’t care,
Of course, King Ning dared to spy in the East Palace, and the East Palace wanted to pay back one or two. Can’t take the head of King Ning’s head, and take the head of Prince Zhao’s head, will the empress be satisfied?"
The prince Sun was naturally dissatisfied, "Even if the son of Emperor Zhao died, King Ning would just lose a son. How can this palace be satisfied."
"The empress wants King Ning to die?"
"Of course?"
Shaojian Fang shook his head, "Forgive our family's incompetence, we can't do this. Don't mention the private coining, the robbery of the tomb has nothing to do with King Ning. Even if King Ning participates in it, your majesty will not execute King Ning, at most he will be demoted to a commoner. , Banned. This matter is really embarrassing for Niang Niang."
The crown prince Sun covered her lips and chuckled, "Shao Jian Fang relies on his talents, but his fate is frustrating. Now this palace gives you the opportunity to show your talents, why are you timid? Doing things that others can't do, otherwise, how can you show Out of your ability as a young supervisor?"
Fang Shaojin was not affected by the prince's concubine's stimulus method. He still shook his head and said, "It's not unwilling, but not possible. The empress is not as good as another target."
The face of the prince's concubine Sun is invincible.
She took the sunspot and fell down, and then said: "The East Palace is in danger. At today's banquet, I see your majesty looking at the prince's eyes, I am afraid that I will do it before the three-year period."
Shaojian Fang nodded, "This is natural. Your Majesty has given the East Palace a year, which has exceeded everyone's expectations. However, His Royal Highness did not seize this year. Instead, he indulged the subordinate officials to behave in the name of the East Palace. Your majesty has limited patience and will never give the prince another year."
The princess Sun's hand trembling slightly, but said vaguely: "Prince benevolence."
Fang Shaojian looked at the prince concubine Sun with a smile, "His Royal Highness has become benevolent, and will lose to benevolence. For the emperor, he needs both leniency and strictness, and he is superior. Benevolence will only lose the prestige of the emperor. If the county prince is without prestige, he cannot control his courtiers. The defeat of the prince seems to be doomed."
Crown Prince Sun did not refute Fang Shaojian's words.
Instead, it reminds the other person, "You said, you will help this palace."
Fang Shaojian nodded, "Our family is helping the empress now."
As the voice fell, a white piece landed on the chessboard, swallowing several black pieces.
The princess Sun was upset and didn't use his mind to play chess.
She asked: "What should I do now?"
Shao Jian Fang asked, "What does the empress mean?"
Crown Prince Sun lowered her voice, "Naturally referring to King Ning, King Zhao, and your Majesty."
Fang Shaojian's eyebrows moved slightly, "The mother wants to take risks?"
The prince's concubine Sun's face was gloomy, "You said that the prince is doomed to fall. But I don't want to lose with the prince. I want to live, live well, and want to watch my children and grandchildren rise to the top. Now there is only one way. , Only you can do this."
The so-called method of the prince's concubine Sun was to let the emperor die early.
Before the decree to abolish the prince, if the emperor dies, then the prince is the rightful heir.
By then, all civil and military officials will listen to the prince and suppress all ambitious guys.
But the prince is weak, but the emperor is always strong.
It is so difficult for the emperor to die before.
Only extraordinary means can achieve the goal.
Kill the king, punish the nine tribes.
Non-dead people can't do it.
However, even for dead soldiers, someone needs to make a lot of preparations in advance to provide the dead soldiers with the conditions for assassination.
This matter is a military adviser, a minister, and a young supervisor.
The two had their eyes facing each other, and they understood each other's intentions without words.
Shaojian Fang smiled, thinking that the princess wanted him to die!
If he really planned to assassinate the emperor, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would be executed.
His road to death is just ahead.
The princess is eager to let him die.
He said: "The lady is too dear to me. Today I am just a shameless sinner, how can I be worthy of such a great task."
The crown prince Sun laughed and said, "Why Shaojian Fang should be humbled. You did not leave the house, but you managed to figure out Huyang and Chen Fuma's couple and implicate King Ning. You can do this very beautifully. I believe it will be ten times more difficult. Things can't help you."
Shao Jian Fang lowered his head and smiled, eyes full of mockery, "Let me consider this matter carefully."
"Time waits for no one, so please ask the Young Supervisor Fang to make a decision early." Crown Prince Sun urged him.
Shao Jian Fang said: "This matter is not a trivial matter, you must consider it in the long term. If your mother can't wait, then find someone else. We won't be with you."
The prince concubine Sun compromised, "Well, this matter is according to your plan. But you also said that your majesty can't wait and will soon decreed the prince.
I hope to see the results of Fang Shaojian’s hard work within three to five months. "
Shao Jian Fang smiled, "Manny, the night is late, you should go back to rest."
Crown Prince Sun looked at the chess game on the chessboard, "Unconsciously, I have reached a dead end."
"The empress is not thinking about the chess game, this result is not surprising."
"Fang Shaojian can do two things with one heart."
"Why do you bother with me as a sinner."
...
Ning Palace.
Gu Jiu took the sandalwood box from his servant Qian Fu.
She asked, "What's in it?"
Qian Fu shook his head, "I don't know."
Gu Jiu made many guesses, and finally returned to Shangfang with the sandalwood box and opened it in the study.
The upper layer is a stack of silver tickets.
Gu Jiu was about to say, Liu Zhao is tacky, and he still doesn't forget to manage the wealth.
When she turned to the lower level, there were all kinds of deeds and land deeds. Obviously, these are all private property that Liu Zhao bought over the years.
At the bottom, Gu Jiu turned it out and saw the content above, and suddenly took a breath.
Liu Zhao actually left iron evidence that Chen Luma secretly minted coins.
Gu Jiu was shocked and uncertain.
Liu Zhao was ordered by King Ning to settle the matter for Chen Luma. Why did he leave these evidences?
It can't be said that he had anticipated today.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, these evidences are purely to teach others to do more harm than good.
Gu Jiu couldn't help but try to figure out Liu Zhao's intentions.
Obviously, Liu Zhao asked her to take over the sandalwood box to prevent the evidence from falling into the hands of Jin Wuwei.
Could it be possible that Liu Zhao left these evidences to threaten the husband of Huyang Princess Chen Fuma?
In any case, the contents of the box cannot be seen.
She closed the box, locked it, and handed it to Qingmei, "put it in the cage."
Ome took the lead.
Gu Jiu wanted to destroy the evidence, but worried that Liu Zhao would still be useful, so he could only hide the box first to prevent Jin Wuwei from searching.
No one returned home that night, all stayed in the palace.
Gu Jiu tossed and turned, and did not fall asleep until midnight.
After sleeping for less than two hours, he was called again by the maid.
Today is the first day of the first lunar month, and I have to enter the palace to worship.
The first thing Gu Jiu wakes up is to ask: "Does the son go home?"
Qingmei shook her head, "The son never returned to the house?"
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiu asked: "Where are the princes?"
"I heard from the servant Deng that the prince, the princess, and the ladies and the princes have never returned to the house.
The Deng's servant in Qiaomei's mouth is Deng Cunli.
Gu Jiu promoted him as a servant. The wind blows in the house, and he can't escape his eyes.
Gu Jiu was startled, but not flustered.
It is indeed very worrying that everyone did not return home.
But just because everyone did not return to his home, it means that Liu Zhao is fine for the time being.
Gu Jiu got up to wash, ate a little, and got on the carriage at the second door in court clothes, ready to go to the palace.
When I arrived at the palace, I was told that this year's Zhengdan worship was cancelled.
"Cancel? Why cancel?"
Gu Jiu was shocked. You can't cancel the Zhengdan pilgrimage just because Chen Fuma robbed the tomb.
She doesn't think Chen Fuma has such energy.
The guard guarding the palace gate kept silent, but stopped Gu Jiu from entering the palace.
At this time, Deng Cunli stepped forward, "Madam, Rong Lao Nu go and ask, maybe I can ask why."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Go and come back quickly."
Deng Cunli is an old man in the palace, and he knows the places he often goes to after he leaves the palace.
He found someone, made some money, and didn't waste much effort, so he inquired into the situation clearly.
He returned to Gu Jiu and whispered: "Mrs. Qi, the old slave inquired that your majesty was seriously ill and could not be in charge, so today's worship was cancelled."
Gu Jiu was frightened, "Your Majesty was fine yesterday, why is he seriously ill today?"
Deng Cunli shook his head, "I don't know the reason. The news came from Xingqing Palace, so it should be true."
With the temper of the emperor, Zhengdan worship will not be cancelled for no reason.
Either it was really seriously ill, or something great happened.
Gu Jiu couldn't enter the palace, so he could only turn around and go back.
She left Deng Cunli and asked him to inquire as much information as possible. Especially when the members of Prince Ning's Mansion can return to the palace.
Gu Jiu did not go back to the palace directly, she ordered the coachman to detour around the Huyang Princess House.
Far away, the carts and horses were stopped.
Gu Jiu raised the curtains of the car and looked out.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the wind was piercing.
The wind poured into the car from the window, blowing Gu Jiu's cheek pain, as if a knife cut.
Huyang Princess Mansion has been surrounded by Jinwuwei.
I saw Jingowei a dry eagle dog coming in and out, holding a pile of books and letters out.
The servants of the princess's mansion, except for the servants who were waiting for Chen Fuma, were arrested and sent to the imprisonment, the rest of the servants were all rushed to a separate yard to take care of them. After that, Jinwuwei will be interrogated one by one.
After that, Gu Jiu went to Chen Mansion again.
The Chen Mansion was miserable and miserable. All the old and weak women and children were arrested by Jin Wuwei, and they would all be imprisoned until the end of the case.
The innocence can be released, but the glory and wealth are also lost.
The guilty must either be decapitated or exiled.
All in all, the Chen family is over.
Chen Fuma is also dead.
Gu Jiu sighed, put down the curtains of the car, and said, "Let's go."
The carriage started slowly and returned to the palace.
In the past, the lively palace was empty and lifeless because of the absence of the owners.
Everyone already knew that there was an accident in the Huyang Princess' Mansion, and the masters had not come back except the eldest lady, and they were all a little panicked. I am afraid that something will happen to the palace.
As soon as Gu Jiu returned to the eastern courtyard, the servants came to report that it was Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo, and the beauties were visiting.
She thought for a while and said, "Just say I'm tired, and I won't see guests for now."
Ome worried, "Madam, just refuse, is it appropriate?"
Gu Jiu said: "They just want to ask the prince, how is the palace? I can't answer these questions, tell them all to go back, and wait for news from the palace with peace of mind."
Gu Jiu insisted not to see the guests, and Shen Bianfei and others were also not good at breaking into the eastern courtyard.
In desperation, he could only retreat in a daze.
As Gu Jiu said, they waited at ease for news from the palace.
As a result, the news did not arrive, but the fierce King Wuwei arrived.
Jin Wuwei Zuowei Wei Zhong said with a fist, "Please forgive me, the ministers and other officials are ordered to check the study of the son's edict, and check the correspondence."
Gu Jiu stood under the eaves, watching the Jinwu guards entering and exiting the Document Garden, searching for documents and letters in the study.
Gu Jiu looked at Wei Zhong blankly, "Master, when can they return to the house?"
Wei Zhong sternly said, "I will come back when it's time to come back. Madam, don't worry."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, "Dignified Jinwuwei comes to the door, how can this lady not worry? What happened to my son, can Master Zuowei tell?"
Wei Zhong shook his head, "Nothing to tell."
Gu Jiu's expression was hesitating, like a woman who had been negligent and acted impulsively with no motives.
However, she was extremely calm inside.
She knew why Jinwuwei came to the door yesterday. Today is just a play.
She hadn't thought about buying Wei Zhong with a lot of money.
However, after three seconds, Gu Jiu dispelled the idea.
Wei Zhong is the emperor's eagle dog, one of his most trusted courtiers.
If a small amount of money can be used to buy bribes, Wei Zhong is not qualified to be relied upon by the emperor.
If Gu Jiu really spends a lot of money to buy, not only will he not be able to get news from Wei Zhong, but he will be targeted by Jin Wuwei because of it, causing endless harm.
Therefore, Gu Jiu made an angry look and looked at the group of Jin Wuwei indifferently, turning the book court inside and out.
Finally, he watched with angrily as Jin Wuwei walked away holding the search results.
The arrival of Jin Wuwei was frightened and frightened.
Gu Jiu has no time to calm everyone's emotions.
She walked into the book court in silence.
The documentary garden, which was originally furnished comfortably and luxuriously, was messy. All kinds of books were thrown on the ground.
Pen, ink, paper and inkstone were also thrown on the ground.
Gu Jiu walked around, but all the important things were taken away.
She instructed: "Wealthy money, lead someone to clean up the document garden."
