But reason told Yuanzhi that since this woman dared to say such words, she said that she was very confident and prepared.

Perhaps his so-called hidden dangers do exist.

The fifth lady gave Yuanzhi a blank look. Seeing his chest rising and falling, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out soon, she couldn't help but sneer:

"Prince Prince, please listen patiently to the little woman's words. It's not too late to chop people after listening."

"Where do you have so much nonsense? Let me tell you down the road, I hope you can explain it clearly. If I think you are making a fool of yourself or even making a bad plan, you will not be able to walk out of this little Red Mansion tonight, and it will also affect many people."

Yuan Zhi's eyes were fierce, and he stared at the pretty face in front of him fiercely, and said gritting his teeth.

"ah?"

The fifth lady instinctively exclaimed, then shivered, but soon calmed down.

This is a common technique in the world, and it is not surprising.

"Now in Zichen Hall, His Majesty the Emperor is the prince's person, the chief supervisor of the imperial court, the eunuch in front of the imperial court, the imperial physician, etc., including the emperor's loyal secret guard, Lord Ji, is also your person. Who dares to say that Your Highness is not a word?

”

"Cao Qichang, Yang Du and others don't want to say that now, just a few months ago, their memorials were submitted to the imperial bed, and the emperor was unwilling to summon them again. Therefore, they wanted to let King Yuanxuan of Jin accidentally run into him, but they all

Unsuccessful, the undercover agents were eliminated by the Queen on the way."

"The little woman wants to tell Your Highness now that your real crisis is not the Cao Mansion, but comes from outside the imperial city. The most dangerous of those kings is Ning Wang Yuanwu. He has been prepared long ago and takes advantage of this opportunity to enter Beijing.

, make some moves.”

"Speak alarmist!" Yuan Zhi snorted coldly:

"Wang Ning is in Jianye, Jiangnan, and in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, can he control it remotely? Besides, he spent all his efforts to defeat me. What benefits can he have? Can he sit on it without any effort?

The throne?"

"Of course there is this possibility. Does Your Highness know that your father Yuanren and King Ning fought for the throne twenty-two years ago?"

The fifth lady replied.

Yuan Zhi was stunned. He came from later generations. He happened twenty-two years ago. His predecessor was not yet born, so of course he had no memory in his mind.

According to the etiquette and laws of the royal family and ancestral temples, no one is allowed to mention this kind of thing again.

"I don't have any impression of this matter, please tell me in detail." Yuan Zhi's tone softened a lot.

The fifth lady began to tell the story of this past.

It turns out that Yuanwu and Yuanren are twin twins. According to the order of the fetus, Yuanwu is the brother and Yuanren is the younger brother.

The brothers Yuanwu and Yuanren are the legitimate princes of Taizu. According to the principle of orderly seniority and seniority, Yuanwu is the eldest son of the legitimate emperor, so he is naturally the legal crown prince.

But the brothers have completely different personalities and hobbies.

Yuan Wu likes to recite poems and write pairs, and there are a bunch of literati and poets around him, while Yuan Ren likes to dance guns and knives, and there are military generals like the war god Guo Xiang.

Emperor Taizu decided to the country by Wudi, so he naturally favored his second son Yuanren, so he was reluctant to determine who the crown prince was.

Instead, I hope to make careful determination through multiple observations.

Twenty-two years ago, the two princes Yuanwu and Yuanren, both grew up at the age of 24, Taizu finally decided to discuss the candidate for the crown prince in the court.

Of course, Yuanwu was supported by most civil officials, while Yuanren led troops to fight as a prince for a long time and received support from all military officers and some civil officials.

Especially the full support of the Guo family and the Cao family.

At that time, less than twenty years after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the north and the south were not unified, and foreign wars continued, and the military officer system was stronger than the civil servant system.

Yuan Ren controls the national army and receives the support of the generals.

After careful consideration, Taizu finally decided to make Yuanren the crown prince.

The enthronement edict was issued at once, and the royal ancestral temple was in an uproar.

This is contrary to the etiquette and law of the elders and the elders.

But Taizu insisted and made up a farce of "twin brothers were misaligned by midwife". Two midwifes and several nannies in the palace became scapegoats.

In this way, Yuan Ren became the crown prince, Yuan Wu became the king of Ning, and his fief was in the Yangzhou, Jiangnan and Jianning area.

Yuanwu has been dreaming about how to regain the world that belonged to him for the past twenty years.

He has been keeping his low profile, secretly getting to know the forces in the world and recruiting soldiers.

Half a year ago, the battle for the crown prince and King Jin was actually what King Ning wanted to see the most.

He thought that the opportunity had come and began to awaken the undercover agent who had been buried deep in the palace, plotting to wait for an opportunity to usurp.

In a mutiny in the capital, Prince Yuan Zhi defeated the treacherous party headed by Cao's mansion.

There is a saying that mantis stalks cicadas, and orioles are behind.

If Yuan Zhi, who is in full swing today, can be completely eradicated and with the support of the royal ancestral temple, Yuan Ren will be forced to pass the throne to Yuan Wu.

If not, then join forces with King Fu and King Han, as well as other forces in the martial arts world, and overseas forces, to overthrow Emperor Jiye, in the name of "remaining the chaos".

The killer move to overthrow Yuanzhi was his affair with the Queen.

Even if Yuan Ren couldn't bear to take action, the elders of the royal ancestral temple collectively protested and forced the emperor to issue an edict.

After hearing this, Yuan Zhi finally realized why Emperor Jiye blindly emphasized the view that he should be more important than the King of the Foreigners.

It turns out that there is such a grudge in it.

The civil strife in the capital is a good opportunity for external forces to be ready to move.

"I also know that the main factor of this affair is that the prince's prince could not resist the temptation, so he was passively trapped in."

The fifth lady said with a smile.

"Haha, it seems that you have a very careful insight."

Yuanzhi smiled bitterly.

He was calm on the surface, but in fact he was so nervous.

The scattered matter between him and the Queen was like a naked cup in front of these gangs, with transparent top and bottom without any concealment.

This is too terrible.

Let people not know, unless you do it yourself.

Thinking about it now, I still don’t have enough concentration and I am so brave that I can’t blame Cao Feiyan all for it.

"It's not only my insight, but also my understanding of the Queen, her willfulness, possessiveness, and her temper that can be desperate for love. I know who is the initiative in this matter, and it will become more and more intense, and this will be revealed.

It's not far away."

"Oh, it sounds like you know the Queen very well, she made the same mistake?"

"Of course I know that when I was ten years old, I went to Cao's mansion with my mother, and I became Miss Cao's companion and personal maid. When she was sixteen, she fell in love with her first love and met Cao Qichang's loyal nephew, Mr. Qin."

According to the narrative of the fifth lady.

At that time, Mr. Qin was about twenty years old and was a juren who took the exam from Jingzhou to Jingjing.

He is tall, tall, tall, and suave. He is a master of the romantic scene. When he sees the beautiful Miss Cao, he naturally likes it.

During the exam, Mr. Qin of course lived in Cao's Mansion, but in just two or three days, the two met secretly, and suddenly they were like paint and glue. They made a vow and made a vow on their parents' life.

After the palace examination, Mr. Qin became a Jinshi. During the trial in the Hanlin Academy, I secretly arranged their secret meetings and let them go.

Half a year later, Mr. Qin returned to his hometown in Jingzhou. When he saw his parents, he mentioned his marriage and wanted his father to come forward to propose to the Cao family.

Qin's father was named Qin Yu, a native of Luzhou, Jiangnan. He was Cao Qichang's sworn brother and the governor of Jingzhou.

When the eldest son fell in love with the eldest lady of the Cao family, Qin Yu of course couldn't ask for it and agreed.

At the beginning of the Spring Festival, he brought the betrothal gift to Beijing in person. He first found Yang Du as a matchmaker, and then came to his own house to propose to Cao Qichang for his eldest son.

Unexpectedly, Cao Qichang was worried about this?

It turned out that in order to please the emperor, Cao Qichang took the initiative to tell the empress dowager that his eldest daughter Cao Feiyan would marry into the palace and become a concubine.

The Empress Dowager accepted it happily and soon issued a letter of appointment and a betrothal gift to Cao's Mansion through the Zongren Mansion, and selected auspicious days for the zodiac.

When Cao Feiyan learned about this from her mother, she could no longer change it. She cried and told her the story of falling in love with Mr. Qin and her lifelong decision.

This is awesome.

How can a woman who has broken a melon marry into the palace and become a concubine?

This matter must be spread, and the Cao Mansion will not say that it is a shameful person. If the royal family blames it, it will be a waste of money and it will be extremely miserable.

But if not, if the emperor finds that he is not a yellow girl on the night of happiness, then

It is the crime of deceiving the king.

Cao Qichang is not an ordinary person. He is brave and resourceful, and has great magical powers. He immediately came up with an idea.

He bribed the eunuch in front of the imperial court for a large sum of money. After the emperor got married into the bridal chamber, he replaced a blood-colored cushion to cover it up.

On the other hand, he personally sternly scolded Mr. Qin, telling him not to mention this matter from now on, otherwise his life would be unsafe.

Qin Yu arrived at Cao's mansion with joy, but ended up feeling disappointed and returned to Jingzhou in disappointment.
