the next morning

"The Empress, you are dead."

After Xia Xiaoqiao received the secret letter, she was stunned, "So soon?"

She remembered that when she saw the empress last time, she was in good health. Although it was reported that she was seriously ill later, she was not sent to the palace to see a doctor, but she never thought that it was only half a year, and she died alone. .

Lu Jingyuan rubbed his forehead and said with a sigh: "It's already extremely difficult to hold on for so long."

"What do you mean by that?"

Xia Xiaoqiao turned to look at him, and Lu Jingyuan said: "I told you last time, the palace is full of turmoil, and the saint is getting older—"

Xia Xiaoqiao was very puzzled. Does this have anything to do with the emperor's age?
But soon, she understood.

After a few days, news came that the prince would be abolished.

It is said that the prince is incompetent, suffers from a serious disease, and cannot manage the government of a country, so he should be deposed as the prince.

The prince and his party naturally couldn't ignore things, but the third and fifth princes saw an opportunity.

After some operations, there was a problem with the crown prince's jurisdiction. Although he could not be moved to him immediately, he was banned in the East Palace by the Holy Majesty, and no one was allowed to visit.

Everyone knew that the crown prince was weak and suffered such slander, a serious illness hit him, and he was directly bedridden, so he was not far from death.

At this time, Beidi led troops to commit the crime.

For a while, the ruling and opposition parties were in panic.

As the commander-in-chief of the five armies, Duke Zhen Guo led the troops into battle, so it was naturally his duty to do so.

However, the Holy Majesty was very worried about this.

Just at this time, the fifth prince came to plead for orders and was going to fight.

Compared with Zhen Guogong, he has more trust in his son.

Therefore, the fifth prince was ordered to be the commander-in-chief, and General Liu was the deputy commander-in-chief, leading 150,000 troops to the north.

Not only that, but Zhou Chi, the son of Duke An, is also on the list.

"Zhou Chi, are you stupid? Why would you go to the pole for such a thing?"

Princess Lingshan pulled him with tears in her eyes, while Zhou Chi comforted her with rare patience, "I, Zhou Chi, was born to serve in the army. A man should fight the enemy and serve the motherland."

"You don't say such high-sounding words, swords and guns have no eyes, just in case—"

"In case I die, you don't have to be a widow for me, just find a man to marry."

"Zhou Chi, you bastard."

Princess Lingshan beat him while crying, and when she had had enough beating, she was already in tears.

"If you don't want to marry me, you don't want to marry me. You don't have to worry about the imperial decree. I will go to the emperor's grandfather and tell him. I am the daughter of the royal family. As long as I don't want to, he can't do anything to me." like that."

"Why do you want to seek death?"

Seeing this, Lu Chi sighed, "It's not what you think."

"What's that like?"

"I know that you like Sister Xia in your heart, even if she is married, you can't let her go, I know, I know, but think about it, besides Sister Xia, you also have Duke An and Auntie, There are so many relatives, you—"

"Lingshan, the enemy army is coming, how can there be any eggs in the nest? If everyone is gone, can Xiaojiayan survive?"

"I'm not trying to escape, Lingshan, this is my mission."

....
Zhu Lingshan didn't know what mission he had.

She didn't understand this either, she only knew that Lu Chi went to the battlefield.

She has lived so long, she has never cared so much about the battle report.

But now, every time a good news comes from the front line, she is extremely nervous, looking for clues about Zhou Chi inside.

Now, the crown prince is imprisoned in the East Palace, and the fifth prince is killing the enemy in front of the battle.

Up and down the court, almost became the world of the third prince.

The voice of abolishing the prince and supporting the third prince is increasing day by day.

His Majesty's health is also getting worse.

In other words, almost dying.

And the third prince is in full swing, and has already begun to act as an agent of the government.

Everything went so smoothly.

Good news came from the front line soon, but when the victory seemed to be about to happen, an accident happened suddenly.

"The fifth prince died for the country?"

The bad news shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

"how come?"

"My army is strong and I am about to win, why did I die so suddenly?"

The Holy One was furious after hearing this.

With the death of the commander in chief, the morale of the army will naturally decline. Fortunately, Zhou Chi turned the tide and sneaked in at night. He captured the thief first and captured the king first. He captured an important general, causing the opponent to retreat.

But the news of the death of the fifth prince is still shocking.

After a thorough investigation, it was found that it was Lou Zhi who was ordered by his close staff.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the public were shocked, especially the people.

"how come?"

"That's Mr. Lou, one of the four most beautiful men in the capital. If the third prince hadn't taken over his status, he might be the most beautiful man."

"Who says it's not, but I've heard that Mr. Lou's background is not simple."

"I heard that his surname is not any Lou, but Qi. He is the son of the Grand Tutor Qi's family. He was wronged and died. The whole family killed more than people. It is a great crime to punish the nine clans."

"Huh? Is this for revenge?"

"Isn't it just for revenge? You know, the reason why the Qi family was punished by the nine clans back then was the fifth prince's grandfather's family."

"What does that have to do with the fifth prince? He was just a child at that time, what did he know?"

"However, if the fifth prince is down, wouldn't his maternal ancestral family also be down? This is called capturing the king first, right?"

"No, they're all in the same group anyway—"

There was one wave after another of folk discussions, and it seemed that the pressure could not be suppressed any longer.

The Holy One had no choice but to ask about the case back then.

In the end, it was discovered that he was killed unjustly.

But what about the truth?

After all, Lou Zhiming will not survive.

But he deserved his death, just like when Lu Jingyuan asked him if it was worth it?
Worth it, how not worth it?

And even before his death, he dragged the third prince into the water.

How did he, an ordinary person, walk to the side of the Fifth Prince and gain the trust of the Fifth Prince?
There is no other handwriting in it, who would believe it?
After this investigation, it turned out that everything was inseparable from the third prince.

The evidence is conclusive, the third prince is completely stupid.

"I didn't, it wasn't me—"

He has nothing to do with Lou Zhiming at all, let alone use him to instigate him to kill the Fifth Prince.

However, misfortunes never come singly.

At this moment, Lu Jingyuan felt that the time had come.

The evidence in hand was sent to the capital at high speed, and sent to Shen Shoufu.

If secretly instigating someone to assassinate the fifth prince is already a capital offense, then collaborating with the enemy and treason would be enough to cut his body apart.

Looking at the evidence of his collusion with Japanese pirates, even if the emperor wanted to protect this son, there was nothing he could do.

But the third prince has been in business for many years, how could he be willing to end up in such a lonely place?
The palace change came as expected.

When the emperor heard the news, he fell ill.

But Zhen Guogong and others had expected that the three emperors' wombs were naturally unsuccessful, and they were directly slaughtered on the spot. Lu Qing, as an ally, was killed on the spot.

In the second year, the emperor died.

The prince was crowned the great treasure with a weak body.

Another three years later, he died of illness.

The emperor's grandson, who was only 12 years old, succeeded to the throne.

The first major event after the emperor's grandson succeeded to the throne was to recall Lu Jingyuan who was far away in Wangzhou to the capital.

Assist the government.

So far, there is the support of Zhen Guogong, An Guogong, and the Shen family.

Lu Jingyuan had no scruples in the court, rectified fertile land, reformed taxation, and did drastic things.

Although the road is long and far away.

Together with my wife Xia, I will search up and down.

Just to make this place even better! ! !
