Upon hearing this, Baiyue immediately shouted: "What should I do? Cold! Han Jian is obviously trying to embarrass our prince, but since the prince doesn't plan to marry the Xie family daughter, the more little tricks he does, the more beneficial it will be to us.
The prince broke off the engagement.
When Your Majesty comes out of seclusion the day after tomorrow, we won’t have to find any reason to break off the engagement. Even His Majesty will be embarrassed to ask the prince to marry that third girl from the Xie family."
Because of the training at the school last time, Baiyue was really frightened, and even began to wonder if his prince really had other plans for the third girl of the Xie family, so he did not dare to say too much.
However, when the news came that Xie Songhua had entered the Han Mansion, the prince showed no signs of panic and remained stationary. Doesn't this directly illustrate the prince's attitude?
So he had something to say, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yu with an expression that meant he wanted to take credit.
Huang Zicheng looked at Baiyue as if he were a fool, and then said seriously: "The news I got from Fanzi last night is that Dongchang has reported the so-called details that have been captured on the streets of Beijing during this period.
They are all locked up in the Dongchang Yamen."
Xiao Yu's eyes immediately became sharp, "So, have you checked everything out?"
Hearing his words, Huang Zicheng's expression became serious, "The prince's previous suspicions were somewhat unbelievable to the subordinates at first, but who would have thought that after this investigation... the prince was actually right. Those
As expected, people are not craftsmen, but refugees from all over the city."
When Baiyue heard this, he couldn't help but interject, "Refugees? According to the news from everywhere this year, there is no disaster anywhere, so where are the refugees?"
"If there are no natural disasters, there may not be no man-made disasters." Huang Zicheng took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yu, "This is a task assigned by the prince earlier. I rushed to Beijing early this morning. For this thing,
I’ve lost several brothers down here.”
Xiao Yu finished browsing in just a few glances. After a while, he said: "In other words, those people captured by Han Jian are still alive?"
Huang Zicheng's face looked a little ugly when he heard this, "Because we had doubts about the true identity of these so-called craftsmen, we had been worried that Han Jian would take the opportunity to cause trouble and make random things, so we did send a lot of people to pay attention to the people in Dongchang.
However, their actions this time are indeed somewhat different from the past, so they have not been able to detect the real hiding place, and it was not until yesterday that they received reliable information."
This aspect of work was Jin Yiwei's job. Baiyue didn't know much about what was going on inside. Seeing that Huang Zicheng looked serious, he didn't dare to interrupt anymore and just listened quietly.
When Huang Zicheng saw that Xiao Yu didn't speak, he thought for a while and said: "I have a guess. Han Jian was so cautious before that he didn't let us see any flaws. But we just found out yesterday that the three girls came in today."
To Dongchang..."
He raised his eyes and looked at the person behind the desk, "Your Majesty, is this matter aimed at you?"
Baiyue didn't have any good impressions of Xie Songhua, the rumored princess of his own family. When he heard this, he showed displeasure. He just glanced at the man who was looking down in thought, but didn't dare to say anything.
Xiao Yu finally said after a while, "I'll go there."
"Your Majesty!" Baiyue was shocked, "You mean, you want to go..."
Huang Zicheng thought for a while and then said: "It's true that we should go there."
Baiyue watched in stunned silence as his prince walked out the door, then grabbed Huang Zicheng who was about to follow him, lowered his voice and said urgently and harshly: "You are crazy! How can your prince go to Dongchang?! You have forgotten the past.
Something happened?"
Huang Zicheng glanced sideways at Baiyue and said calmly: "Do you think the prince needs you and me to teach him how to behave?"
"You!" Baiyue choked at his words, and after reacting, he hurriedly caught up and grabbed Huang Zicheng again, "That's not to say, you have been following the prince for a long time, don't you know where Dongchang is?
What does it mean to the prince?"
Nowadays, everyone knows that Chen Wang Xiao Yu and Han Jian, the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, are incompatible with each other. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are involved in many cases, which often leads to quarrels.
Both parties are ruthless figures, and they are both people who have the trust of the Holy One.
Up to now, not many people know about the true relationship between the two.
Xiao Yu is the posthumous son of Emperor Taizu and the only continuation of Taizu's lineage in the world today.
Both the late emperor and today have treated him with special treatment.
With Xiao Yu's identity and status, even if there was a conflict between Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, the two would not have such a deep hatred.
In fact, the story begins in the second year of Yufeng. In that year, Xiao Yu was only seventeen years old.
Not long after the crucial battle against Da Rong, it was the time for Rong Guang to appear.
But his master Kuang Wu, who had been accompanying him all this time, was arrested and taken to Dongchang.
At that time, the factory director of Dongchang was not Han Jian, but Han Jian's adoptive father, Han Yi.
The reason for arresting Kuang Wu at that time was that he participated in the fight for the throne and framed Emperor Yufeng before he ascended the throne.
Every emperor's succession to the throne was inevitably preceded by a purge, and the same was true for Emperor Yufeng.
His throne was hard-won. The late emperor had many sons, and he was not the most outstanding, nor the smartest. In the end, he was able to ascend to the throne, and naturally he also experienced a series of bloody battles.
Facing the former enemy and now holding great power, is there any reason to be soft-hearted?
Even though Xiao Yu knew clearly that his master had not participated in the seizure of the heir that year, he was unable to fight back in the face of the incriminating evidence of Dongchang.
At that time, all his strength was in the army and at the border.
Regarding the complicated power relations in the capital, he stayed too superficial.
What's more, before the late emperor died, he clearly stated in front of several cabinet ministers that he wanted to pass the throne to Xiao Yu to rectify the bloodline.
This is recognition of Xiao Yu's ability and identity, but it may not be a test.
Although Emperor Yufeng had already been in power for two years by the time of the incident, who can be sure that the emperor had no grudge against the late emperor's final words?
After trying various methods, Xiao Yu was still unable to find any favorable evidence to overturn the case for his master, so he had to rush to Dongchang. Unexpectedly, he happened to witness Han Yi murdering Kuang Wu.
It was clear that the final judgment of the Holy Emperor was to be executed at the Queen of Autumn, yet Han Yi dared to openly disobey the Holy Order.
Faced with Xiao Yu's rage, Han Yi just said lightly that Kuang Wu tried to escape from prison and caused casualties to several officials in the Dongchang, so he had no choice but to kill him first.
He could find such a scrawled excuse, and Emperor Yufeng could believe it.
Because Han Yi was the great companion of Emperor Yufeng and someone he had always trusted and relied on when he was in hiding.
Therefore, in the end, Han Yi only received a punishment that was neither big nor small, nor light nor serious.
This incident did not cause much turmoil in the government and the public. After all, in those years, many people died in order to settle old scores.
It was at that time that Xiao Yu began to make arrangements to take over the command of the Jin Yiwei.
This is how Jin Yiwei and Dongchang started to fight against each other.
Han Yi died in the second year when Xiao Yu took charge of Jinyiwei. The cause of his death was very simple, so simple that it made people doubtful - he slipped and fell into the water.
But this is the conclusion of the final case file. After the Holy Spirit has seen it, no one can overturn the verdict, just like the death of Kuang Wu back then.
And the tit-for-tat confrontation between Xiao Yu and Han Jian continued like this.
This led to the hostile relationship between Jin Yiwei and Dongchang in the eyes of everyone.
But no matter how fierce the dispute between the two sides was due to the conflict of interests, Xiao Yu never set foot on Dongchang's territory again.
It is precisely because of this that Baiyue is worried.
