The prince employs people, as long as they can be used, regardless of gender.
Over the past year or so, Feng Shaojun has used his exquisite disguise skills to transform into thousands of people, and has repeatedly made great achievements. Such a useful chess piece, the prince released it at his will, naturally because of Shen You.
The eldest son Zhu Yun got married, and the eldest concubine was happy when she came into the house.
As for Shen You, although the marriage has been arranged, his fiancée "lives in Pingjiang Mansion forever". Occasionally, he has to hide and cover up when he meets her. Shen You can't even see Feng Shaojun's true face, he can only see her once. Eunuch Feng".
The prince didn't say it, but he secretly pitied Shen You, so he was willing to give Feng Shaojun a long vacation so that Shen You could get married.
Once a woman gets married and gives birth to a child, she must take care of her husband and raise the child. I think that in the future, she will no longer have to work outside the inner house.
This "long vacation" is undoubtedly about letting the tiger go back to the mountain... This metaphor does not seem to be so appropriate. In short, it is painful to let go of such a useful subordinate.
Eunuch Yang stretched his brows and smiled in a low voice: "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of my third son."
"San'er's mission is almost completed. After a while, His Highness will take action, so I will ask San'er to come back and thank His Highness personally."
A smile flashed in the prince's eyes and he nodded slightly.
…
Of course these three letters cannot be presented by the prince.
The prince was loyal, filial and loyal, and respected his elder brother. How could he go to investigate the King of Qin?
Therefore, Xue Pan has to start.
The prince had ordered people to keep an eye on Xue Pan a year ago. Now that he had obtained the evidence, he secretly arranged for Xue Pan's lieutenant to report and expose Xue Pan. The lieutenant made a complaint to the general of the Imperial Guard. He wanted to accuse Xue Pan. Unruly, he revealed to the prince that the palace gates were fortified.
It was taboo for the palace guard to reveal the palace defense. The general of the imperial guard immediately reported the matter secretly to the emperor and sent the letter submitted by the deputy general to the emperor.
Emperor Long'an was very angry after reading the letter.
The Xue family is a hereditary Jinyiwei. Xue Lin is the commander of the Jinyiwei, commanding tens of thousands of Jinyiwei to protect the emperor. Xue Pan is Xue Lin's cousin and serves as the palace gate guard, which is also a very important job. It can be said that the Xue family A school deeply favored by the emperor.
Xue Pan did not want to repay the emperor's kindness, but secretly pledged allegiance to the King of Qin. What was he going to do?
Does Xue Lin know about this?
Or was this Xue Lin's idea from beginning to end?
The so-called Jin Yiwei commander can be regarded as the commander of the emperor's personal soldiers, and must be completely loyal to the emperor. It is a big taboo to associate with the prince under his nose.
Emperor Long'an's eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly: "Come here, pass on my instructions, and take Xue down to the imperial prison for questioning."
Xue Pan is a fifth-grade military general. With such an official position, he is not qualified to meet the emperor. If he makes a big mistake, he can be interrogated and dealt with by the Jin Yiwei.
As for Xue Lin, he was a third-grade military general and a close confidant of the emperor. If this matter really involved Xue Lin, it would not be enough for the Jinyi Guards to send him to prison.
Moreover, if Xue Pan moves, he will definitely be unable to hide it from Xue Lin.
No matter what, Xue Lin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, has finally achieved his goal.
A chill flashed in Emperor Long'an's eyes, and he spoke again: "Xuan Xue Lin comes to see me."
As soon as Xue Lin entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he knew something was wrong. Emperor Long'an's face was as cold as ice, and the way he looked at him made him even more frightened. He had been the commander of the Imperial Guard for more than ten years, and he had no idea about Emperor Long'an's temperament. The temper is all too familiar.
If there was anything wrong with what he said, there would be no chance of leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony alive today.
Xue Lin's heart was pounding, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he immediately knelt down.
Emperor Long'an snorted coldly: "I ask you, do you know about Xue Pan's secret dealings with King Qin?"
Xue Lin's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
In fact, he was the one who had an eye-to-eye with King Qin in the beginning. A few years ago, King Qin was the most respected and beloved eldest son of Emperor Long'an. He was in charge of the Ministry of War and had great fame. Almost all the courtiers thought that the emperor would make King Qin his crown prince.
He thought so too. Therefore, the King of Qin secretly showed his favor to him, but he half-heartedly accepted it and started to have contact with the King of Qin.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, it was not convenient for him to interact with the prince in private, so he asked his cousin Xue Pan to go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion secretly. Of course he also knew the letters written by Xue Pan.
Now, Emperor Long'an asked in a cold voice, did he admit it or not?
No, I can't admit it.
Without conclusive evidence, it must not be admitted.
Xue Pan has fallen into trouble. He must at least escape unscathed and save the Xue family.
Xue Lin kowtowed three times, with a look of remorse and self-blame: "Your Majesty, it's because I failed to control my affairs well, and I didn't know that Xue Pan had made such a big mistake."
"Please, Your Majesty, punish Xue Pan severely. I will have no complaints at all!"
"I have no courage to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guards again, so I will now take the position myself. Please choose someone who is loyal and capable."
Emperor Long'an said nothing.
Xue Linchang couldn't kneel down, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell to the ground drop by drop.
After a long time, Emperor Long'an opened his mouth and said: "Xue Lin, you came to my side as a soldier when you were twenty years old. I appreciate your bravery and ability, so I made you the commander of my soldiers. In these years, I have never treated you poorly.
you."
"Now, Xue Pan has made a big mistake and cannot escape the death penalty. As the head of the Xue family, you are also responsible for the oversight. Please resign yourself. I remember your many years of hard work and will not be held accountable."
"From today onwards, you can quit your errands and go back to Xue's house!"
This was because Xue Lin had worked hard for many years and spared the Xue family. Otherwise, the emperor would have confiscated the family and exterminated the family in a single thought.
Xue Lin kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.
Emperor Long'an didn't want to look at Xue Lin anymore and closed his eyes.
Xue Lin exited the Hall of Supreme Harmony. His energy was gone, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Xue Pan is finished! The Xue family's splendid wealth is also finished.
…
Xue Pan was arrested and sent to Jinyiwei's prison, and Xue Lin resigned as the commander of Jinyiwei.
This news quickly reached the ears of King Qin.
King Qin, who was in the Ministry of Rites, changed his expression almost instantly.
He and Xue Pan interacted secretly, and only a few people knew about it. They were all confidants. Who leaked the news and made Emperor Long'an aware of it?
Or is there a ghost in Prince Qin's palace?
The more King Qin thought about it, the more frightened he became. Besides being furious, he also felt unspeakable panic and fear.
Because of the assassination, he had completely lost the favor of the Holy Family and was under house arrest for more than a year. If he had not bowed to King Yan, he would never have been able to leave the Prince of Qin's palace.
Now, the collusion between Xue Pan and him has been revealed again. How angry will Emperor Long'an be and how severely will he be punished?
Eunuch Zhao also panicked and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
King Qin took a deep breath and said: "Don't mess up your position first. I have passed on my decree to seal the palace and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or exiting. When I return to the palace, I will inspect the inside and outside of the study. I want to see who is secretly causing trouble and betraying me."
King! I will cut him into pieces!"
Xue Pan once went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion after dark. If someone leaked the secret, it would be someone close to him.
Eunuch Zhao had a fierce look in his eyes: "Yes, I will return home immediately to deliver a message from His Highness."
