MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 99 fortunately
Xishan, Prince's Mansion, Chenghua Hall's study.
When Feng Zhan finished his official business, it was Hai Shi.
After Song Zhi arranged His Highness's instructions, he returned to the temple,
"His Royal Highness, but to the county master's mansion?"
Feng Zhan's eyes lifted slightly, and he glanced coldly at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi…
What to say? The county master said that he was keeping His Highness...
At this moment, the attendant's report suddenly sounded outside the hall:
"His Royal Highness, Yongding Houfu Xie Shizi asks to see you."
Feng Zhanjian frowned slightly, his face sinking like water, after all, he still didn't open his mouth to chase people away:
"Take him to the waterfront."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Song Zhi was very clear in his heart. His Royal Highness was like an arrow, and he didn't want to delay for a moment, so he let Xie Shizi go to Shuixie.
His Highness is preparing to meet Xie Shizi on the way to the county master's mansion.
If it is too late, I am afraid that the county master gate will not be reserved for His Royal Highness.
However, Song Zhi has doubts in his heart, what time is it, what is the urgent matter of Xie Shizi, so he has to see His Highness now?
------
Prince's Mansion, Cangtai Waterside Pavilion.
Xie Changyuan had just sat down when the Crown Prince Feng Zhan came in with a cold face.
Xie Changyuan stood up and saluted:
"His Royal Highness."
The prince went straight to the first Zen chair and sat down without ordering tea.
It can be seen that the prince does not intend to stay longer.
Xie Changyuan didn't go around the corner, and directly stated his purpose.
"Your Highness, I want to deal with Ye Qingli as soon as possible."
Feng Zhan's face sank and his tone was rather cold.
"That's it?"
Xie Changyuan immediately sensed the prince's displeasure, but since he made up his mind, this matter must be dealt with immediately, and he should not allow himself to have any more room for regret.
On the way here, Xie Changyuan had imagined whether he would be in the Prince's Mansion again, and whether the Prince would be in Qin Yan's place again.
But fortunately, no.
The prince said:
"Song Zhi."
"Your Highness." Song Zhi, who was outside the water pavilion, came in in response.
Feng Zhan commanded in a deep voice:
"According to plan."
After the prince finished speaking, he got up and strode out of the water pavilion.
------
In the water pavilion, Song Zhi asked Xie Changyuan a few questions, but Xie Changyuan was a little confused.
After Xie Changyuan saw that the prince had left the waterside pavilion, he went straight to the plum forest in the south. In the end, the prince disappeared at the southern end of Meipo.
Xie Chang Yuan felt a chill in his heart, the bitterness was unbearable.
At this hour, Prince, are you going to Qin Yan's place?
"Xie Shizi, Xie Shizi..." Song Zhi called out several times.
Song Zhi looked at Xie Changyuan's gaze just now, and sighed in his heart.
Xie Shizi, if you knew today, why was it in the first place, but you had better not have unreasonable delusions.
Seeing that Xie Changyuan finally returned to his position, Song Zhi opened his mouth and said:
"Xie Shizi, there seems to be a change in the border recently, and it is not appropriate to have a bad relationship with Yizhou at the moment, so this matter is handled as a compromise for the time being, and the Shizi's cooperation is needed."
Xie Changyuan made up his mind, and then nodded.
------
When it was ugly, a group of men in black quickly jumped into Yongding Hou's mansion, and precisely avoided the patrolling guards and went straight to a large courtyard in the mansion.
This team has excellent hands and cooperates closely. Several hand knives knocked out the servants in the courtyard, and there was no sound.
Immediately, a fragrant incense was inserted into the door of the main house.
Xie An on the outside of the couch seemed to be keenly aware of the danger in his sleep. His eyes moved, and he seemed to show signs of waking up, but he soon fell into a deep sleep due to the fragrance inhaled between his nose.
After a while, the bolt was pulled from the outside, and the door was gently pushed open.
The two men in black walked into the room, and when they saw a man and woman sleeping on the bed hugging each other, their pupils were shocked, but they both adjusted their moods very quickly.
The man in black pulled the quilt, rolled up the woman sleeping on the inside of the bed, and carried the woman out one after the other.
Seeing that the goods were in hand, the team of men in black quickly returned from the original road and exited the Hou residence very quickly.
The door of the room was wide open, and after a while, Xie Changyuan, dressed in black brocade clothes, entered the room.
Xie Chang Yuan glanced coldly at Xie An who was still on the couch, then walked to the round table opposite the couch, reached out and took a blue and white teapot on the table, and weighed it.
Xie Changyuan lifted the teapot, walked to the bed, looked down at Xie An indifferently, and poured all the cold tea in the pot onto Xie An's old face.
Then Xie Changyuan retracted his gaze, turned around and walked to the round table, and sat down in the direction of Zhongxie An.
Xie An suddenly woke up, his eyes widened, and he immediately turned his head to look inside the bed. Seeing that there was no one there, Xie An quickly turned over and settled down. Seeing Xie Changyuan sitting firmly beside the round table, Xie An's pupils shrank.
Xie An quickly glanced around, the door opened wide, and there was no one else in the room except himself and Xie Changyuan. Xie An's alarm bell rang loudly, but he was so careless and said Xie Changyuan's words.
Xie An cast his gaze back on the pale face of Xie Changyuan, and asked in a cold voice:
"Where's Ye Qingli?"
Xie Changyuan looked up at Xie An, and said sarcastically:
"Do you know that this is my yard?"
Xie An didn't want to deal with Xie Changyuan too much at the moment, and he only had the pregnant Ye Qingli in his heart.
"Where's her?" Xie An's voice was a little nervous.
Xie Chang Yuan's expression remained the same, but he did not speak.
"Someone." Xie An called out loudly.
But no one answered outside.
"Xie Changyuan, what are you doing?" Xie An looked at Xie Changyuan vigilantly.
Xie Changyuan sneered,
"Don't worry, if I wanted your life, I would have done it just now."
Xie An's body was tense and forced to calm down.
Xie Changyuan looked at Xie An and said word by word:
"Tomorrow, the Hou Mansion will be mourned, and Ye Qingli, the wife of the crown prince, will die of a disease."
Xie An's eyes widened:
"How dare you? Where is Ye Qingli? She still has a child in her belly?"
Xie Changyuan looked at Xie An's nervous look and smiled sarcastically,
"So nervous, your child?"
Xie An was silent for a while, but he immediately thought of the consequences of Xie Changyuan's actions,
"How do you explain this to Yizhou? How do you explain it to the Empress Dowager?"
Xie Changyuan said coldly:
"Yizhou, you don't need to worry about it; and the Queen Mother, I'm afraid she can't take care of herself."
"What do you mean?" Xie An's face changed greatly.
Xie Changyuan got up slowly, not intending to say anything to Xie An,
"There are still two hours before dawn, time is running out, let's do it."
Xie Chang Yuan walked out on his own.
Xie An immediately strode up to catch up, but was frozen in place by the sight in his eyes.
At this time, his subordinates were lying one by one in the yard.
Xie An was worried that someone could enter the Hou Mansion without knowing it and take Ye Qingli away, and in the situation just now, it would be easy to kill him.
Ye Qingli's matter is very involved, and it is definitely not just Xie Changyuan's handwriting.
The only one who can hold down the King of Yizhou and let the Queen Mother take care of herself is the Crown Prince.
The strength of the prince cannot be underestimated.
But... the child in Ye Qingli's belly...
------
"Huainanzi·Tianxun" says: "Frost falls and the 15th day of Douzhihaotong will end, and the autumnal equinox will be over. Therefore, it is said that winter will start on forty-six days, and the vegetation will die."
The next day is the beginning of winter.
Early in the morning, white cloth was hung up in Yongding Hou's mansion and an obituary was issued to the public. The wife of the first son, Xie Changyuan, who had been married for more than a month, suddenly contracted a disease and died.
The news quickly spread throughout Shangjing, and everyone was surprised and sighed.
And Xie Changyuan, the prince of Yongding Houfu, became the hot widower in Shangjing city, in the eyes of the noble lady in the boudoir.
At Mao Shi, in the west city of Shangjing, an unremarkable carriage went out of the city with a caravan.
In the mezzanine of the car lay a drowsy young woman whose body was tied with a thick rope and her mouth was covered with a handkerchief.
The driver of the car was wearing coarse clothes, but the calluses on his tiger's mouth showed that he was a trainee.
At the same time, at the Prince's Mansion in Xishan, a dark guard in black attire, riding a fast horse and carrying a secret letter, headed for Yizhou.
------
The funeral announcement of Yongding Hou's mansion made everyone sigh, but another news shook the entire Shangjing city.
This morning, an imperial decree was issued by the imperial city and sent to the Prince's Mansion in Xishan.
The holy dragon was not in good health, and ordered the prince to seal the power of Zhan to supervise the country.
The court shook.
A few years ago, Empress Dowager Xiao supported the prince and seized power from the sage; today, the sage supports the prince and confronts Empress Dowager Xiao.
It's really turning around.
It was originally a three-way game between the empress dowager and the prince, and now the sage directly delegates power to the prince, the situation is one-sided, and the empress dowager is also weak.
The courtiers also seemed to have anticipated this situation.
Prince Feng Zhan is different from ordinary princes. The prince has real power, and how can he be easily manipulated by others.
Originally scheduled for today, the prince led the three princes and Jiuqing doctors to the winter ceremony in the northern suburbs of Shangjing, and the prince was replaced by the prince.
According to the convention, the winter is matched with the north of the five directions and the black of the five colors, and the black emperor Xuanming is sacrificed. Therefore, at the ceremony, the costumes of the carriage and flag are all black.
Prince Feng Zhan, wearing a golden crown, wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons and a black cloak, visited Liuli in the northern suburbs to preside over the ceremony.
Then the prince gave winter clothes to the ministers in the prince's mansion, and he gave them a lot of rewards. 【1】
On the same day, Prince Feng Zhan summoned the courtiers again at the Prince's Mansion, and a series of decrees were issued by the Prince's Mansion.
First of all, the prince ordered to cancel the small imperial court that the Empress Dowager Shou'an Palace was chartered by the late emperor.
He also declared to the public that the Empress Dowager is too old and should not be too tired. From today, she will recuperate in Shou'an Palace and refuse to see guests.
In other words, the prince put the Empress Dowager Xiao under house arrest.
There are many voices of opposition in the DPRK, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the tide.
The Crown Prince showed no mercy at all in his actions. I heard that Empress Dowager Xiao smashed a room of precious antiques in Shou'an Palace, but there was nothing he could do.
The whole court knows why the prince is, and they only hope that Chiyu will not be affected.
But then there was a big change of blood in the court, and the prince made a drastic rectification of the court, of course, he also eliminated dissidents.
This major purge of the court means that the Queen Mother Xiao completely withdraws from the court.
The whole court also understood that although the Crown Prince had benefited from the Empress Dowager Xiao, this time the Empress Dowager Xiao was unrighteous first, and the Crown Prince took action, which was excusable.
The crown prince is the orthodox prince, and it is beyond reproach to ask the Empress Dowager Xiao to step back behind the scenes.
The personnel changes in the DPRK, including the Nanya Imperial Army, were no exception. A deputy commander stepped down and replaced 20,000 sergeants. It was completed in such a short time, more like a long preparation.
It is worth mentioning that Qin Wenzheng, the right minister, was implicated by the fourth master of Qin in the house because of the case of stockpiling grain.
Qin Siye was convicted and exiled to Kenbian in Lingnan for two years.
The punishment for Prime Minister Qin was relatively light, with only three years of fines, small punishments and big admonitions.
Many courtiers are speculating about the relationship between the prince and the county master of Zhaoren, and they feel that the prince is giving face to the master of Zhaoren county.
Who knows that what Qin Xiangfu's residence lacks most now is money and fines, which will undoubtedly make things worse.
While some were punished, others were rewarded.
The former Minister of the Ministry of Works was dismissed from the official position due to his ineffectiveness in dealing with floods; and Qin Wenxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, who had great achievements in water control, was promoted to one level and was promoted to the current Minister of the Ministry of Works.
Some people are happy, some people are worried.
The prince opened a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief, ordered Dali Temple to strictly investigate corruption in water transportation, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to step up river management to restore canal water transportation as soon as possible.
And today, Yu Qingfeng finally let go and donated one million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry to build water conservancy projects.
The Minister of the Household, Du Xian, was very emotional. After lobbying with the second prince, he only raised a donation of one million taels of silver. Now, Yu Qingfeng has made such a big deal.
As for the Manchu capital, Erqing, it was not just that Yu Qingfeng was rich, but that Zhaoren County Master chose a position.
------
Xishan, the main residence of Zhaoren County.
Qin Yan was about to fall asleep when Shen Ying's voice came from outside,
"His Royal Highness."
Not long after, the quilt was lifted away, the man's familiar aura shrouded in it, and Qin Yan was surrounded by Feng Zhan from behind.
Feng Zhan rubbed Qin Yan's neck with his clean chin, and said in a hoarse voice,
"Qin Yan, how lucky you are."
Qin Yan felt a little itchy, moved her body, but did not answer.
After a while, the man behind him spoke again, his voice low and mellow:
"The imperial decree for the canonization of the Crown Princess will be promulgated at the Solitary Qianqiu Celebration."
"Qin Yan, are you ready?"
Hearing this, Qin Yan turned around in Feng Zhan's arms and faced the handsome man in front of him.
She stroked Feng Zhan's hard chest with one hand, her fingertips slowly swiped down, her full and moist red lips pressed against Feng Zhan's slightly pursed lips, and her voice was charming:
"Your Highness, are you ready?"
