Chapter 1081 The power of the prince
Chapter 1081 The power of the prince in power
Tao Yuxian looked at the banknotes and said, "The Queen is so desperate, I'm afraid this battle won't be easy to win."
As a woman, she knows best what dowry means, it is dependence and even more a retreat.
Even though her life in the palace has been unsatisfactory in recent years, the Queen has never touched the dowry, but now she has taken it out...
This determination has to be admired.
But it also means that in this battle, not only does the third prince have no way out, but they also have no way out.
Either you win or you lose.
Either life or death.
Fan Qingyao said, "This time the Queen asked Yuanyue to follow me out of the palace. The third prince seemed particularly calm. I'm afraid he had already made a plan in his heart."
Hua Yaoting sighed, "The third prince is different from the prince. The third prince was raised strictly by Concubine Yu from an early age. The more such a person is, the more rebellious he is. During this time, the main city seems to be calm, Concubine Yu I thought I had persuaded the third prince, but in fact, as far as I know, the third prince had already started recruiting troops aggressively..."
It seems that the Queen Mother asked the Hua family to adopt Yuanyue, which was the trigger of the whole thing.
In fact, no matter whether there is this incident or not, it is unavoidable that the third prince will force the palace.
Fan Qingyao frowned and asked, "My grandfather is going to Huaishang this time. Is it still too late to bring my uncles back with the Hua Family Army?"
Hua Yaoting nodded, "Those soldiers and horses we bought are used to being scattered. How can they compare with the regular army? No matter how eager the third prince is to force the palace, he must unify these soldiers and horses first, but you It’s better to be careful during this time with your grandmother…”
Fan Qingyao quickly calmed down and listened carefully, "Grandpa, please speak."
"Although the emperor has been hiding his body, and even the queen and the prince don't know the specific situation, according to my understanding of the emperor, once the New Year is over and Ji Hongliao is nowhere to be found, he must announce that you are with him. Grandma went to the palace to heal..."
Now that the emperor is delaying the announcement, he is also considering the turmoil in the court.
But if Ji Hongliao is not found for a long time, the emperor will really be afraid. When that time comes, the emperor will only consider his own life and death, so how can he care about other people?
Selfish people will always be selfish.
"Judging from the emperor's current body, I'm afraid he will only let you and your grandmother out of the palace the moment you close your eyes. But when that time comes, will you really be able to leave safely?"
Now that the third prince is watching with such eagerness, I am afraid that by then he would have led his troops into the palace.
Fan Qingyao nodded and said, "I will definitely keep in mind what my grandfather said today. This trip on the Huaihe River must be a lot of hardships. I also hope that my grandfather will return safely. I am waiting with the Hua family to meet my grandfather and uncle. We are reunited.”
Actually, Fan Qingyao had thought of these things in advance, so she had planned to start arranging them after the New Year.
It is always necessary to be prepared to avoid danger.
As the new year passed, the emperor's condition became more and more serious. As the matter of Fan Qingyao's adoption of Yuanyue spread in the court, the ministers simply followed this trend and collectively recommended the prince to handle government affairs for the time being. Naturally, the three princes and his party voted against it, but the situation in the court had all shifted towards the prince. The three princes and his party could only watch as the piles of memorials were all moved to the East Palace.
On the second day after Baili Fengming took over the government affairs, the trial of the second prince finally came from Dali Temple.
Constructing a Taoist temple in secret is unforgivable, and the assassination of the crown princess is an unforgivable crime. Finally, that day, the second prince was taken to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
Concubine Liu Shu fainted immediately after hearing the news. Concubine Han Xian came to the outside of Yue Yu Palace with her last breath, still thinking of asking Concubine Yu to intercede.
Concubine Yu Yu wants the second prince to be a scapegoat, so where can she meet him?
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Concubine Yu asked as she looked at the person entering the door.
Mother Zhang lowered her head and said, "No matter what the old slave says, Concubine Han Xian will not listen. She insists on seeing the concubine."
“Since you like kneeling so much, just keep kneeling outside. I want to see how long she can kneel!” Concubine Yu frowned and was equally upset.
The second prince has become a scapegoat. Although the evidence from Dali Temple is conclusive, can the queen and prince really find nothing?
Now that we have reached this point, Concubine Yu certainly knows that neither the prince nor the queen is a fool, otherwise she would not be able to get rid of her now!
"After careful calculation, Dali Temple has not made a decision yet. Why did the second prince have to be killed as soon as the prince took over the government? Is this trying to appease the people, or is he trying to give us a disincentive?" Yun Yue, who was sitting beside him, said. He also frowned.
"I usually pretend to be weak, but now I dare to provoke me before I really have the power. I really underestimated the prince." Concubine Yu's fingertips holding the tea cup were turning white, and she said no Anger is fake.
Because of the second prince's matter, some ministers in the third prince's party were already distracted from her son. This time the prince dealt with the second prince so vigorously and resolutely, maybe he was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Once the third prince and his party are all panicked, who else in the court will continue to support her son?
In this way, even if his son really succeeds in forcing the palace, he may not be able to convince the public in the court.
"You should leave the palace now and ask Ze'er if she has any plans." Concubine Yu looked at Yunyue and said, now her son's side is the overall situation, and she can't act rashly even if she can't swallow it.
"I understand, concubine." Yunyue nodded, stood up and left the palace.
In the courtyard, it was Concubine Han Xian who was kneeling on the ground when she saw Princess Yunyue coming out. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes staring at Yunyue made Yunyue feel inexplicably flustered.
Yunyue hurriedly got into the carriage and headed towards the third prince's residence. Her heart was beating fast and her face was ugly. She was not afraid of Concubine Han Xian's eyes. She was afraid that in the future, everyone would use the prince's methods to treat them. Show that look!
In the study room of the third prince's residence.
Baili Rongze was discussing with a group of staff when he saw Yunyue walking in with a pale face.
Baili Rongze first dispersed the staff in the room, then looked at Yunyue and said, "But what happened?"
Yunyue sat down on her own, looked at her younger brother standing not far away and asked in a deep voice, "Haven't you heard about the second prince being beheaded?"
