Chapter 1260 Please forgive me
"This can't be a coincidence!" Qin Hanzhen said categorically to Zhao Mo.
How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Although it is not clear whether Chu Liangyuan and Chu Zhengfang are in the same group, or whether they have their own plans, in short, Chu Liangyuan's old maid left outside the palace is obviously responsible for fighting with the group of foreigners in the Gu family's house.
The task of contacting merchants, and the woman who had served Chu Liangyuan was probably responsible for spreading rumors and revealing various information that Chu Liangyuan wanted her to reveal. Even if Chu Liangyuan intended to blackmail the Crown Princess, it was not
What a strange thing. Since ancient times, there has been no real harmony between wives and concubines.
Although Chu Liangyuan was promoted to the throne by the Crown Princess, she was obviously not willing to be just a tool for borrowing. She was left aside after giving birth to the child. After having the emperor's grandson, she can definitely rise to the throne on her own. The Crown Princess's
The worse the reputation, the better it will be for her in the future. Didn't what happened some time ago just prove this? Everyone seems to be secretly talking about the Crown Princess, and they all feel sympathy and pity for Chu Liangyuan, and miss her everywhere.
The benefits. If she continues to follow this route, she only needs to maintain her position in the East Palace and her innocent image, and then use the rights of the Crown Princess to elevate her son's status. After the Crown Princess loses her use value, she will no longer rely on her mother to support her son.
It's expensive and can easily rise to the top.
At that time, it is not impossible for her to replace the Crown Princess. If Chen Liangyuan does not give birth to a son, then after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, in order to stabilize the inheritance rights of his only son, it is very likely that the son's biological mother will be given the title of Jin.
Queen's.
Qin Hanzhen analyzed everything for Zhao Mo: "If Chu Liangyuan has such a plan, it is understandable that she and Chu Zhengfang are not of the same mind. Because Chu Zhengfang and his wife want to control her to gain power, but she
What she wants is not to be a pawn. It would be great if Chu Zhengfang and his wife can be her helpers, but if not, it’s not like she has no other helpers to look for."
Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "The prince of Shu? If Chu Liangyuan wants to rescue the prince of Shu because of her grandfather's family and close relationship with the Shu prince's family, then she will become the biological mother of the emperor's grandson.
Even the queen of a country has the confidence to save the prince of Shu. It is probably impossible for the prince of Shu to become the real prince. The emperor and the prince will never allow it, but if they only allow their family to regain their freedom
, the difficulty is not big. Even if the prince of Shu becomes an idler on the surface, only they themselves know whether they will actually make suggestions for Chu Liangyuan. Although there are differences between men and women, the prince and concubine of the prince of Shu can enter and leave the palace.
, to convey the message.”
Qin Hanzhen said "tsk": "The Prince of Shu is really haunted. I thought he was really going to die last time. I didn't expect that in just a few months, he would resurrect again."
Zhao Mo said calmly: "Then let him not be able to ignite. Since he is ashes, how can he still be alive?"
Qin Hanzhen blinked: "So...you are planning to expose them completely? That's right. It's not like there are no other women in the world. Isn't Chen Liangyuan still pregnant with her? Chu Liangyuan's thoughts are ulterior.
As a woman with questionable background, it is better not to let her stay with His Highness the Crown Prince. What should we do next? Should we attack Chu Liangyuan, or keep an eye on the Gu family's house? Fortunately, God will not help the King of Shu.
The Crown Prince and his accomplices let their tunnels be exposed, and they themselves were stupid and set fire to the tunnels, otherwise they would be doing little things secretly and we wouldn’t know yet.”
Zhao Mo said: "The Secret Intelligence Department has almost dug a hole. Although they took a lot of mistakes because they didn't know where the tunnel was, they have now dug into a suspicious location. It seems to be a square brick building.
A corner of the tunnel.
People from Prince Shu's Prince's Mansion claimed that it was a pool in the front and back yard that King Shu used to raise fish when he was young. Because someone slipped and fell into the water, it was filled in. But the bricks are new, and the pool is different from the tunnel.
If you keep digging, the lies will eventually be revealed.
One day, I have ordered people to continue digging. Since it is said to be a pool, there will always be an edge to see if they can dig out the entire pool. The Prince of Shu was already a little panicked and sent someone
Come and ask. I'll let the Secret Service
The person replied that they wanted to find out whether there was still water in the pool. After all, it had rained continuously for months and many places were flooded. What if there was some water secret passage under the backyard of the Prince's Mansion? When the backyard was rebuilt, wouldn't it be possible?
Isn’t it detrimental to the project?”
Qin Han really laughed when he heard this: "Then if the tunnel is completely exposed, what sophistry will the Prince of Shu have?"
Facts have proved that the prince of Shu still has a way to quibble.
Within two days, he asked the officers and soldiers stationed outside to hand him a secret letter into the palace to plead guilty to his father. The reason was that due to the fire in the palace, he changed his study room to the one that his late father, King Shu, used to use in the capital during his lifetime.
In that old study room, I accidentally discovered the secret room inside, which was a place that the imperial court had not discovered when they raided the Prince of Shu's Mansion. And in the secret room
In the room, he found several back-ups that the King of Shu had secretly left behind during his lifetime, including places where weapons and rice were hidden around the capital, manors where dead soldiers were deployed within Zhili, and places where he could hide when he fled in case of failure.
The house he used was used, as well as a map of a secret passage in Prince Shu's palace in the capital, and even a list of court officials who had been bribed with large sums of money.
Among these confidential matters, the manor where the dead men lived had already been raided by people from the Imperial City Secret Service. The dead men caught, killed, and escaped. Now that the manor is empty, there is no need to report it now.
It makes no sense; the house used to prepare for the escape was completely exposed after the Beirong spies and Heifeng were targeted; and the court officials bribed by the King of Shu
Most of the people on the list of members have been exposed, but there are only three or two kittens left. The emperor does not know about it, but there are no obvious bad deeds, and there are no people in important positions, and they have never served for the King of Shu and his family.
He had been in love, and he was probably not a die-hard party member. He was just using money to do things. If he was charged with taking bribes, that would be the end of it.
But the two places where rice grains and weapons were hidden, as well as the secret passage in the backyard of the Shu Prince's Mansion, were actually something the emperor never knew about.
The Prince of Shu's Mansion has now been divided into two parts, one half of which became the Prince's Mansion of the Prince of Shu, and the other half was rebuilt and the emperor rewarded the newly promoted ministers who were instrumental in conquering Shu. The latter half,
show
Of course, there is no such thing as a secret passage. The drawings of the secret passage show that it should be in the backyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and it was interrupted because of the defeat of Princess Shu before it could be completed. Originally, it should have been extended to
It was originally a house adjacent to the rear of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, so that the Prince of Shu and his wife could use it when they secretly met with someone, or they could use it when their plan failed and they needed to escape. However, that house was raided when the Prince of Shu's Mansion was raided.
, because it was confiscated in the name of a steward of the Prince of Shu Palace, and now it has a new owner, so there is no need to mention it again. The construction of the secret passage was interrupted not long after it started, and there was no time to reach out to the palace wall.
.
After the fire in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, the Secret Service presided over and ordered people to dig in the ruins. They discovered traces of this secret passage, and now they have almost all been dug out. Although the masonry looks relatively new, it doesn't look like it was built a few years ago.
It was something from years ago, but because it was a project that had never seen the light of day, and it had just been washed away by rain, and the dust was washed away, it was barely reasonable to explain it. The prince of Shu may not be completely unaware of this, but he can take the initiative to confess it.
This fact probably meant he was forced into a corner. Once the Secret Service dug out the tunnel completely, it would be too late for him to explain that it had nothing to do with him.
The emperor did not say whether he believed it or not. He just ordered someone to bring the prince of Shu to the palace for questioning. Only the emperor, the prince and Zong Ling of the clan were present during this questioning. King Xiuning was the witness and
There are no foreign ministers here.
When he saw the emperor, the prince of Shu fell to the ground and cried bitterly, apologizing for himself and his deceased father and mother. He even admitted that he had indeed heard about the secret passage in the backyard, but because he was in Shu at the time, he had never been to the capital.
Therefore, he didn't know the details, not even the location of the secret passage. But he stayed in the backyard study for a long time and occasionally wandered around the backyard, and he still vaguely noticed something.
The most important thing is that when his father, King Shu, was still alive, Mr. Shi Gu, the head of the palace, was devoted to them and his son and was extremely loyal. Seeing that he was ordered to study in the palace and imprisoned in disguise, he wanted to rescue him. This
Although Gu Changshi was given a lighter sentence and was not convicted because he did not participate in the rebellion of the King of Shu, it was only because the King of Shu thought he was old and was afraid that he would be useless. In fact, he was an old subordinate of the King of Shu.
The official's prestige was very high. He found out the location of the secret tunnel somewhere, bought the house next door, and dug a tunnel bit by bit from his own property to connect it with the original tunnel in the Prince's Mansion of Prince Shu.
Let the prince of Shu escape from the tunnel. When the time comes, get a corpse, set a fire, and fake the illusion that the prince of Shu died in the fire, then you can let the latter regain his freedom! The world is so big, where can't you go?
The prince of Shu couldn't laugh or cry at the absurd idea of the old man. How could he really give up his identity and escape? He still has his wife and children here, and he lives a prosperous life. As long as he truly repented and the emperor was magnanimous, he would definitely
Forgive him. When the time comes, he will be able to live a free and wealthy life again.
The prince of Shu reprimanded Gu Changshi and asked him to completely give up this ridiculous idea and stop having any thoughts of disloyalty to the court. Gu Changshi was greatly shocked and could not see his old master again, so he filled up the tunnel indiscriminately.
He took his old wife away to live in the countryside. Unexpectedly, the heavy rain for months caused the walls of the backyard of the Prince's Mansion and the Gu family's house to collapse. The Prince of Shu was worried that the secret passage would be exposed, which would put him in a disadvantageous situation, and even more harm to the family.
Gu Changshi had no choice but to set a fire.
The Crown Prince of Shu fell to the ground, kowtowed repeatedly to plead guilty, and cried like a tearful man.
The emperor was sitting on the throne, looking at his appearance with no expression on his face.
