Hanbing Palace, the palace of the imperial concubine Wan Gui.
"Mother, this is the situation."
Zhu Youji saluted respectfully and told Concubine Wan Gui the details of the future.
Of course, these words are only superficial information.
"Ji'er, have you gained anything from this trip?" Concubine Wan Gui asked casually.
The ins and outs of the whole incident were known to Concubine Wan Gui clearly from Feng Manlou on the way back to Zhu Youji and others.
This was just asking as usual, and I didn't expect to gain anything.
Who would have known that Zhu Youji would actually speak.
"Yes, concubine."
"Huh?" Concubine Wan Gui frowned slightly, a little surprised. She looked at Zhu Youji and asked, "What's the gain?"
"Mother, please take a look."
Zhu Youji smiled and handed over to Concubine Wan Guifei Yuchi Ye's more than ten crimes including corruption, accepting bribes, killing good people and taking merit.
He copied this down on the road.
The reason is two-fold.
One of the reasons is to increase Concubine Wan Gui's favorability.
Secondly, he has a special status and is usually watched by Concubine Wan Gui. Although it is understandable for him to contact officials and military generals, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties.
Of course he could go there in secret, but the effect wouldn't be the best.
In Zhu Youji's original plan, he wanted to use the imperial power of Hai Rui, Yan Song and others to make trouble for Yuchiye, and then divide Yuchiye's military power, completely kill his power, and take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
But after thinking about it along the way, he decided to change his mind and let Concubine Wan Gui be the one to control the situation.
Only when she takes the lead can the greatest effect be achieved.
And now that he is her nominal son, isn't it normal for him to take the opportunity to gain some power?
As a prince, it is only reasonable to have ambition.
On this point, even Concubine Wan Gui would not have the slightest doubt.
Would a parent care about the fights of his children?
"This...is this evidence of Yuchiye's crimes over the years? Where did you get it?"
After briefly reading through it, Concubine Wan Gui showed a look of surprise. It was so detailed and everything was clear.
This cannot be investigated overnight.
Could it be that Ji'er started investigating Yuchi very early?
I never found it?
Could it be that his thoughts are so deep?
For a time, Concubine Wan Gui had mixed feelings, and her face gradually darkened. From the initial shock, she turned into a little indifference.
A 'son' who is out of control is not a good choice.
Zhu Youji still looked harmless, but he was secretly observing Concubine Wan Gui's emotions.
He guessed that Concubine Wan Gui had misunderstood.
But he didn't explain it right away, and deliberately made Concubine Wan Guifei suspicious, just to make her feel guilty after the reversal.
The more suspicious she is and the more worried she is about his son, the stronger Concubine Wan Gui's guilt will be after things turn around. This is human nature.
People often misunderstand others. Whenever they misunderstand someone and find out that it is their own problem, they always feel guilty towards the person they misunderstood.
"Mother, when everyone was arresting Xiao Lin, I did the opposite. Starting from his place of residence, I found his residence while Xiao Lin was heading to Yulin Tower. I originally planned to Looking for someone to ambush him, they accidentally discovered these evidences."
Zhu Youji explained unhurriedly.
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Wan Gui suddenly realized and felt a trace of guilt inexplicably in her heart.
This is the guilt of extremely distrusting Zhu You.
After all, he is a child who has been raised since childhood. Even if he is not his biological child, he still has the feeling of licking the calf.
Concubine Wan Gui's expression immediately softened a lot, and she smiled and said, "My son is really smart!"
"Do you have any thoughts about this thing?"
This is testing Zhu Youji's mind.
The child is older than the mother. Zhu Youji has grown up and it’s time to get married.
At this time, how much emotion does he still have for his mother and concubine?
Concubine Wan Gui had to test it out.
"Concubine, I want you to take the lead in exposing this matter in the court and bring Yuchiye to justice." Zhu Youji did not hide his emotions, anger and disgust, and showed them in his words.
At this moment, Concubine Wan Gui calmed down her emotions and asked without sadness or joy: "Why?"
"Mother, concubine, Yuchi Ye has committed extremely evil crimes. He killed good people and took credit for his crimes. His crimes are so heinous that they are too numerous to describe. He does not deserve to die such an honorable death. He deserves to die."
Zhu Youji looked at Concubine Wan Gui and said angrily. When he said this, he suddenly changed the subject.
"However, as one of the ten generals, this person has a high position and a special status. The soldiers and horses under his command are a big piece of meat. The boy thought that we could throw out these evidences and cause all the princes in the court to argue. The forces of the two sides are competing for each other, so we take the opportunity to control our confidants and control some of the troops to prevent the second-in-command from jumping over the wall."
After hearing the first part, Concubine Wan Gui was not very satisfied. As a prince, he should have a wealthy family and experience. He should not be like the angry young men in the court who only do things according to their thoughts. Such people are superficial.
However, after Concubine Wan Gui heard the latter part, she finally showed a satisfied look. This is what a prince and a prince should consider.
military power.
This was the first thing Wan Guifei thought of when she saw this evidence.
This is important.
Why does Concubine Wan Gui never attack the second child?
Not because he is a ninth-grade master, but because of military power.
Once a ninth-grade master who controls the imperial army and is the eldest son rebels in the name of Qingjun, it will be very troublesome.
The assassination of a grandmaster is certainly terrifying, but the formations of the imperial army, the God-breaking crossbows, and artillery are not trivial. Besides, the second son may not be without the protection of a grandmaster.
Under this situation, Concubine Wan Gui could only lie dormant, looking for opportunities, and waiting for the second child to make mistakes.
If Zhu Youtang makes no mistakes, no one can touch his military power.
Because his military power was conferred by the emperor himself, it could only be taken over by the emperor.
But the old emperor was focused on refining elixirs and praying for immortality, so how could he meddle in such noisy matters?
Even in court meetings, the old emperor only attended court meetings based on his mood, and often left the court without anyone seeing him.
All affairs were basically handled by Yan Song of the cabinet and other bachelors, and were finally approved and implemented by Wei Zhongxian, the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
The old emperor rarely interfered. Above the court, it was basically a one-on-one meeting between the two of them.
However, Hai Rui and other Qingliu forces, as well as Zhu Wuli and other relatives of the emperor, are not vegetarians. They carefully avoid direct conflicts and start with small things to occupy some rights.
Although Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian controlled the court, it was not easy to force them all to death. After all, Zhu Wuwu was still watching from the side, and they could not pass the matter into Zhu Wuwu's hands, so the court was relatively stable.
"Ji'er, your idea is good and can be implemented. Let me do this. As for the people who will be placed in the military camp, you can make the arrangements yourself without telling me."
Concubine Wan Gui said softly with a smile on her face.
Concubine Wan Gui nodded slightly and said: "I am a little tired, so you should go back and rest early. You have worked hard all the way."
"Yes, concubine, please pay more attention to your health."
Zhu Youji bowed and then left.
Zhu Youji actually knew very well, how could an eighth-level warrior be tired?
Concubine Wan Gui sent him away just to gather people to discuss how to implement it.
However, his cultivation as a mother-in-law has really progressed rapidly, and she has reached the eighth level so quickly.
As expected, martial arts such as the Wedding Dress Magic Skill, which absorbs the true energy, are most suitable for short-term promotions.
Zhu You took great strides and left the inner palace quickly.
After Zhu Youji left, Concubine Wan Gui retreated, leaving her alone in the hall.
After a while, Ting Feng Yu came wearing a mask.
"Owner."
Listening to the wind and rain, he still had this indifferent look, standing aside silently, silently.
"Well, let the people in Fengmanlou keep an eye on the fourth prince and see who he has arranged to enter the military camp." Concubine Wan Gui ordered calmly.
