Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

In addition to Emperor Tianyuan, there were several officials from the Ministry of Justice, including Grand Tutor Jiang, Prime Minister Yan, and Minister Pei, as well as officials from Prince Hui's faction, in the imperial study.

Because Emperor Tianyuan remained silent, officials from Prince Hui's faction could not help but kneel down and beg Emperor Tianyuan to thoroughly investigate the murder of Wang Liantang.

Emperor Tianyuan looked at them for a while, and finally spoke: "Lord Wang was killed for no reason. I am also very sad. This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Lord Pei, you can send someone to investigate. I will give you half a month to find the murderer."

Minister Pei immediately stepped forward and responded.

The officials from Prince Hui's faction were not satisfied with the result and wanted to say something, but were stopped by Emperor Tianyuan.

"I'm tired, you all can go down."

Officials from Prince Hui’s faction: “…”

There was no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Emperor Tianyuan saw the door of the imperial study closed, lowered his head and remained silent.

The one serving in the Imperial Study today was Eunuch Zhao, who was somewhat concerned about the health of Emperor Tianyuan, and whispered, "Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Tianyuan began to cough heart-wrenchingly.

Eunuch Zhao hurried forward, and the next moment, he opened his mouth in fear.

There were blood spots all over the memorial in front of Emperor Tianyuan, and he was actually coughing up blood!

Eunuch Zhao turned around and hurriedly called for the imperial physician.

However, after he only shouted "Come here", he was stopped by Emperor Tianyuan: "Zhao De, don't call them yet, I have something to arrange for you."

Eunuch Zhao said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well. Let the imperial physician take a look first."

Emperor Tianyuan held the table, suppressed his cough and said, "Let me finish what I want to say first."

After a pause, he said, "Go to the imperial mausoleum and tell me that I haven't seen Prince Hui for a long time and I miss him very much. I want Prince Hui to come to the palace to see me."

Eunuch Zhao nodded: "I will remember it."

"And..." Emperor Tianyuan looked towards the direction of the imperial mausoleum, "If Hui...the third brother disobeys the order and refuses to come, you should have one of his arms cut off, or...or...disfigure him, or cut off his legs."

Eunuch Zhao was so shocked by these words that he couldn't say a word. In all dynasties, people with disabilities were not allowed to be emperors. The emperor's move was obviously to put an end to Prince Hui's intentions.

But Prince Hui has been preparing for so many years, will he really give up?

Based on his understanding of Prince Hui, Eunuch Zhao found it unlikely.

Emperor Tianyuan couldn't hear Eunuch Zhao's answer, so he turned his head and stared at him, his eyes like swords: "Did you remember what I said?"

Eunuch Zhao quickly collected his thoughts and replied, "I will remember this."

"You can go now." Emperor Tianyuan paused and said, "Bring dozens of martial arts masters with you."

Eunuch Zhao lowered his eyes: "Yes."

Imperial mausoleum.

Prince Hui smashed everything that could be smashed in the house.

Officials, counselors, and guards stood outside the door, looking at each other, not daring to say a word.

In fact, their mood at this moment was not much better than that of Prince Hui.

Because the biggest reliance of Prince Hui was Wang Liantang. When the rebellion started, as long as Wang Liantang was the insider, it would not be a problem for them to take over the palace, but Wang Liantang died.

They feel uneasy.

At this time, a middle-aged man standing at the back stared at Yue Ji in front and said, "Mr. Yue, this is all your fault. On the day when Minister Huang had a stroke, the prince said he wanted to start a rebellion, but you tried to stop him. Now that Commander Wang is dead, our situation has become difficult. If you hadn't stopped him that day, the prince might have been in that position today."

What he said was completely nonsense, because on the day when Minister Huang suffered a stroke, Prince Hui said that he would start a rebellion the next time Emperor Tianyuan was not feeling well, and in recent days, there was no news of Emperor Tianyuan being ill in the palace.

The others also realized this, but the current situation was not good and they all needed to find someone to vent their anger on.

So regardless of the facts, these people launched attacks on the Vietnamese one after another.

"We have clearly prepared everything, but you are encouraging the prince to give up. What are you thinking?"

"It's all your fault. You ruined everything that was going on."

"Are you someone from the Crown Prince's side, and are here to deliberately obstruct the Prince?"

"I don't know what the prince liked about you. You haven't even passed the imperial examination."

*

These people spoke in very low voices at first, but as they spoke, their voices unconsciously became louder.

When Prince Hui heard this, the way he looked at Yue Ji changed.

Indeed, if Yue Ji had not stopped him that day, he might have become the master of the world.

The memory of the night when Minister Huang suffered a stroke gradually faded in Prince Hui's mind, and slowly, new memories took shape in his mind.

Yes, it was the problem of Vietnamese nationality. It was this person who blocked his way.

Under the influence of many emotions, the trust in Yue collapsed in an instant. Prince Hui shouted, "Stop, everyone, listen to my orders now, prepare food and fodder immediately. Once the food and fodder are ready, we will go to the capital immediately."

Yue Ji's pupils shrank suddenly: "Your Majesty, we only have 20,000 private soldiers. Going to the capital may be..."

Prince Hui looked at him coldly and said, "I have made up my mind. Don't say anything more. By the way, don't go back to the capital this time. Just stay in the imperial mausoleum. I will have someone bring your sister here later."

The Vietnamese were shocked.

Prince Hui no longer believed him. He suspected him and was afraid that he would reveal the news when he returned to the capital, so he left him here. He even wanted to bring Yue Xiang over to threaten him.

Suddenly, Yue Ji felt a little regretful.

Beside them, others looked smug when they saw Yue Ji being disliked by Prince Hui.

Beijing.

Li Yu heard the detailed process of killing Wang Liantang from Boss Bai.

Hearing that Wang Liantang was dead, she sighed, "With this man's death, Prince Hui has lost his most important arm. He has almost no chance of winning."

"If I had known that I could kill him this way, I should have done it a few years ago. It has been delayed until now, and I don't know how much time has been wasted," said Boss Bai.

Li Yu felt that what he said was wrong, and said: "Prince Hui had no intention of starting a rebellion in the past few years. Even if there were unknown private soldiers outside the capital, Wang Liantang would not treat it as a big deal, let alone go there in person. The timing was a major factor in our success this time."

Boss Bai: "You are right. But Boss Li also helped a lot in making this happen."

Li Yu: "It's just a small matter. It's my honor to be able to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After talking with Boss Bai for a while, Li Yu went home.

As soon as she sat down, Fang's father came running over and said that Miss Shen from the Wang residence was looking for her.

Li Yu raised her eyebrows. Without thinking, she knew what Shen Xiaoniang was here to do.

She must have come to her for help because Wang Liantang was dead and she had no one to rely on, and Mrs. Wang would not let her go.

Since he had nothing to do at the moment, Li Yu followed Fang's father out.

Shen Xiaoniang was standing at the door with her belly bulging. When she saw Li Yu, she hurried forward and said, "Sister Li, please save me. My master is dead, and my wife wants to kill me and my child."
