When the news came out that Xiao Chen had solved this shocking case, no one was too surprised, because this was not the first time that this kid had surprised everyone.
Either this case cannot be solved, and if it can be solved so quickly, I'm afraid only he, Xiao Chen, can do it.
Let alone others, the prince, Qing and Li should all be grateful to Xiao Chen.
On this day, someone was sent to invite Xiao Chen to have a drink in the East Palace, probably to express his gratitude.
Xiao Chen was the host and guest, and there were two accompanying guests. One was Wang Anbang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was familiar with Xiao Chen, and the other was Liu Han, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, whom Xiao Chen did not recognize.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the prince retreated from everyone, apparently wanting to say something private.
"Xiao Chen, we are all our own people here. I ask you something, and you have to answer me honestly." The prince said with a half-smile, "That Hao Fei is really from Tianxuanhui.
?”
"Yes!" Xiao Chen answered resolutely, "This guy is not only from Tianxuanhui, but also the master of Qinglong Hall. When Liu Yunhai died last time, he took over this position and assassinated the prince just to give Liu Yunhai
Cloud poster hates."
"I am very familiar with Hao Fei. He has a very clean foundation. He was once my father's personal guard, so I never thought he would be a member of the Tianxuan Society." The prince stared at Xiao with a pair of falcon-like eyes.
Chen, watching the subtle changes in the expression on his face.
"That's why I say this man is very scheming and terrifying. When I found out that he was the real murderer, I broke out in a cold sweat. Even if I reported it to the emperor, the emperor didn't believe it!" Xiao Chen replied without changing his face or heartbeat.
of reasonableness.
"Oh...it seems that my father and I have misjudged him sometimes." The prince said.
"Prince, don't worry. Now Pingyang Marquis, Commander Wu, and Eunuch Gong are all rectifying and investigating their own subordinates. No matter how deep the Tianxuanhui's undercover agents are, they will be able to find out." Xiao Chen took the prince's words as concern.
Your Majesty, it's very natural to go down.
"Hmph, it's no use! Didn't they conduct an investigation after the last assassination of the queen was revealed? They didn't find anything!" the prince said.
"Prince, please calm down for a moment. Have you forgotten that Hao Fei and the others haven't entered the palace yet? How can we check?" Wang Anbang on the side saw his excited expression and hurriedly tried to persuade him, but his words were clearly meaningless.
Adding fuel to the fire.
"How come now anyone can enter the palace and stay at will? Didn't anyone check their details thoroughly before they entered the palace? Zhu Xiaotian, Wu Zicheng, Gong Shouli, are all such useless snacks!" Sure enough, the prince said more and more.
Big fire.
"Last time, Zhu Xiaochuan and I recommended that the guards of the East Palace go in to change the defense, but they refused. Otherwise, how would these things have happened! If Xiao Chen hadn't checked quickly, we don't know how long these guys would have been hiding.
, It doesn’t matter if you assassinate me, if you assassinate the emperor... the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"I heard that Hao Fei and his gang were dispatched by the emperor himself, so it's hard for Zhu Xiaochuan and his gang to investigate too carefully." Liu Han, who had remained silent, said coldly.
Liu Han is in his fifties, with a dark complexion, short stature, a sinister expression, and a man of few words.
He was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but due to poor performance, he was directly dismissed from the official position by Li Wanjiang. He was said to have made other arrangements, but there was never any arrangement.
Both he and Wang Anbang had close contacts with the prince, because the prince had been nominally in charge of the two important departments of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Li Wanjiang had a total of three sons, all of whom were adults and helped the emperor manage government affairs as prince and prince.
Li Xian was the eldest son and a direct descendant, so after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, he was immediately made the crown prince.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs that he is responsible for can be said to be the two most important departments. One is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials all over the world, and the other is responsible for the taxation of the national population. Both of them are the lifeblood of the country. It can be seen that Li Wanjiang still had high expectations for him at first.
High.
When he first started his management practice, Li Xian actually worked very hard, but his own abilities were limited, but he was also very ambitious and eager for success. He was also impetuous in doing things, and he never considered the emperor's father's thoughts and what he wanted to do.
Just do whatever you want.
He is Li Wanjiang's son, so he was born with his father's willful temperament; he was pampered since he was a child, and he was not fully tempered by setbacks, so he has the temperament of a young master; after becoming the crown prince, he has the temperament of a prince.
Sometimes he only loses one temper, sometimes he loses two, and sometimes he loses all three at the same time. This makes his subordinates tremble every time they see him, walking on thin ice because they don't know which one the prince will lose today.
temper?
Moreover, the instructions he gave were often unclear and ambiguous, so everyone had to guess!
Can someone with this kind of virtue manage government affairs well? Of course, it will be a mess.
Li Wanjiang taught him earnestly and sincerely more than once, but he turned a deaf ear to them all. He always felt that the emperor looked down on him, treating him as young, ignorant, and incompetent.
He was originally stupid and incompetent!
Li Wanjiang's heart was filled with tears because of him...
He doesn't listen to what he says, he doesn't understand when he hears it, he understands but doesn't do it, he does it but does it wrong, he doesn't admit it when he's wrong, he admits it but doesn't change it, he doesn't accept it after it is changed.
He won't say anything after being convinced!
It’s so damn sad.
This is still a trivial matter. After all, the prince is still young and it is understandable that he makes mistakes at work.
But it was another thing that made Li Wanjiang completely disappointed in him and even had murderous intentions towards him.
Li Xian's ability to do serious things is not good, but he is very good at conspiracy.
Even if he deliberately made friends with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government and secretly formed a faction of the prince, he actually secretly attempted to interfere in military affairs!
Not only did he collude with relatives like Shi Mingwen, but he also worked closely with Wu Zhongze, the admiral of the Nine Sects.
Both Zhu Xiaochuan and Wu Zicheng were close friends of Li Wanjiang. He knew that he could not have a close friendship, so he turned to the idea of Jin Yiwei and the senior generals of the Forbidden Army. Not only did he lower his profile to make friends with them, but he also arranged for his own
The cronies go in...
This touches Li Wanjiang’s bottom line!
You and I are in the prime of life and have not yet become old and foolish, but you want to seek power and usurp the throne, you?
He had originally planned to go on patrol several times, but he was forced to cancel it because he was worried that the prince would supervise the country.
Despite this, Li Wanjiang would not want to kill him.
But some time ago, his spies in the East Palace came to report that the prince actually had secret contacts with Wanyan Pingqiu of Mojie, Kiichiro Fujishita of the Japanese Amaterasu fleet, and Prince Saiba of Siam!
The secret agent discovered this secret because the number of secret messengers coming from Siam suddenly increased recently, and that was when Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun were about to arrive at Jiuxi and prepare to cross the border...
The northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also very unsettled. From time to time, small groups of tribal cavalry invade the border towns and plunder the population and materials. In addition, the Japanese fleet frequently appears in the East China Sea, and is approaching the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty again and again to provoke, and even openly provoking
Attacked Concubine Liu's fleet!
The ambition of a wolf is obvious.
When all this information is put together, doesn’t it make people think deeply, make their spines run cold, and make the hairs on their hair stand on end?
