After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

When Zhou Zheng's leg injury took a turn for the worse, a major event happened in Beijing.

First, someone presented the private letters between Prince Jing and Meng Hai to the emperor. It is said that Prince Jing firmly denied the letter, saying that it was a false accusation. Even when the emperor pointed to the small seal on it, Prince Jing refused to admit it, saying that he had lost the seal for a long time, and that he lost it when he was a guest at Prince Rui's house. The implication was that Prince Rui framed him.

This caused the Emperor to throw an inkstone at you, saying that Prince Rui had been recuperating at home since the last accident, and seldom even came to the palace. His back ached badly from sitting for so long, and the imperial physician said it would leave a root of illness, so how could he have the time to use your little seal to stamp randomly.

King Jing just cried and refused to admit it. He brought up the matter of King Duan and King Cheng again. He said that he never had such ambitions. He just wanted to serve the emperor well on behalf of his brothers and fulfill his filial piety. He never had any unreasonable thoughts. Besides, the matter of King Cheng had been investigated clearly last time. Meng Hai was King Cheng's man. This time, someone with ulterior motives must have dug it out to deal with him.

When the emperor heard him mention the two sons, he didn't say anything more for a while. Maybe it was because he was old and his health was getting worse, and he couldn't bear to see his sons die before him. He actually burned the letters in front of King Jing.

It is said that after the crown prince returned to the East Palace, he was almost furious. This incident with King Jing was not arranged by him. He also noticed that King Rui had changed a lot since the last accident and was increasingly out of his control.

He hadn't taken it seriously at first, but King Jing's incident made him alert. How did he find those letters? He had kept them well. That day, he used those letters to trick King Jing into thinking that they were in the box he gave to King Rui, which made King Jing want to kill him.

He was a little overwhelmed by the fact that King Rui reacted in such a short time. He even regretted for a moment whether he had acted too early against King Rui.

But thinking about the news brought back from the northwest and the arrangements in Sichuan, he felt that he could not drag his feet any longer. No matter who pulled King Jing down, one less is one less.

When it was just me and Prince Rui, everything would be easier. The emperor looked like he wouldn't even make it through this year, and I was the legitimate crown prince, with all the arrangements and arrangements, so Prince Rui alone was nothing to be afraid of.

Since he dared to use King Jing to deal with King Rui, he was not afraid of what King Rui would do to him after his reaction.

But he really didn't expect that the emperor would let go of the matter of King Jing. According to the information he inquired, the contents of those letters were even more surprising than what he had in his hands, and there were even some contents targeting King Cheng. The emperor actually let it go after the fourth brother cried and wiped his tears for a few words?

No, now that this matter has started, there must be an end, and we can't let the fourth brother have any chance to turn things around.

However, the Crown Prince had not started to take action yet. More than ten days after the Autumn Examination, the students' impeachment memorial against King Jing reached the Emperor.

King Jing was in charge of this autumn examination. He selected the examiners and the topics. All of this was done before those letters were leaked.

Only now that the results are out, there are rumors that King Jing cheated, sold questions, and even interfered with the grading. Although the autumn examination is much less intense than the spring examination, and all the candidates are registered in the capital, it also involves a wide range of people. After all, only after the autumn examination can one take the imperial examination.

The emperor had not attended court for several days, and the cabinet minister had been assisting the prince in managing state affairs. Only some important memorials had to be sent to him. The emperor looked at the memorial jointly submitted by the students, which clearly stated the time, place, who was met, who received the money, etc.

Looking at the kneeling King Jing, the Emperor threw the memorial to him and said, "Check all the families listed here, one by one. Okay, Fourth Brother, some time ago, they said you colluded with Meng Hai and wanted military power. Now you are selling out again. What? You got so much money, what are you going to do? What are you going to do?"

King Jing knelt forward and said, "Father, I didn't. This is not the first year that I have taken over the Autumn Examination, and there has never been any trouble. How could there be trouble only this year? If I had this intention, wouldn't it be better to arrange it earlier? Please understand, Father."

The prince was also very surprised that the matter escalated so quickly. Many of those memorials were signed by students of the Imperial College, which was also the reason why the emperor was angry.

The prince frowned. If it was really done by Lao Liu, how did he get these people involved? Who was helping him behind the scenes? He didn't believe that Prince Rui had the ability to motivate these students. After all, he knew what Lao Liu was capable of.

But he would not let go of this opportunity to kill King Jing, or at least prevent him from making a quick comeback.

"Fourth brother, if it was you who did it, just admit your mistake to father. Everyone has times when they feel guilty. You didn't do anything in the past few years. Did you think the time was not right? Just like Meng Hai, if fourth brother had known that he had something to do with fifth brother, would he have..." When the prince said this, he pretended to cough and looked at the emperor apologetically, "Father, what I mean is..."

The emperor waved his hand, "Don't say anything, it has nothing to do with you, Fourth Brother."

"Yes."

"I will make you remember these two things. You should stay in my house honestly. If you do anything weird again, you will have to think about it yourself."

King Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly responded.

"Boss, go and settle this matter. Don't make it too ugly. Those students are young and energetic, and most of them will have to take part in the Spring Examination next year. Don't make a big fuss. It will be embarrassing."

The prince bowed, "Yes, I understand."

As a result, a few days later, the prince came to Chengtian Palace with a pale face. The emperor looked at the things in the prince's hands and asked, staggering, "Is it true? Did you find out? Didn't I ask you to find out how much silver he embezzled? How did you find out this?"

The prince knelt down, "Father, I didn't expect this either. I just checked the families mentioned in the memorial, focusing on those who were related to them and were on the list of candidates in this autumn exam. I didn't expect to find this in the Hu family. I couldn't believe it. I was afraid of another accident, so I simply conducted a surprise inspection of the remaining families. But I didn't expect that..."

"Rebellious son, what is he going to do?" The emperor swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

------

"You're talking nonsense. No way, no way." Mrs. Hu shook her head and looked at Zhou Yingrong sitting in front of her with a look of disgust on her face.

"What nonsense am I talking about? You must be aware of it, right? You must know what your Hu family has done and what your two good nephews have done. And Zhou Zheng, he is always busy between Hongzhe and the Hu family. He is not just making friends, right?"

Hu sat down in the chair. How could it be possible? The prince collected a large number of weapons from the Hu family. Without asking a few questions, the eldest brother confessed that it was sent by Zhou Zheng and the Hong family. Not only in the mansion, but also in the other courtyard. And they were all weapons that could be used on the battlefield, and many of them were newly made.

Not only the Hu family, but also the Hong family, the Xianfei family and those who were related to them, all had them. Some of them stored weapons, some helped to raise horses, and the Xianfei family even captured many people from the south and locked them up in the mountains to practice every day.

In order to support such a huge expenditure, King Jing tried every possible way to get money, and selling questions from the Autumn Examination was one of them.

What ultimately nailed Prince Jing to death was that a dragon robe was found in Prince Jing's mansion. It was said that the emperor fainted after seeing the dragon robe.

"I want to see the Prince. Take me to see the Prince."

"See father, isn't it enough that your Hu family has implicated Prince Shen's Mansion? Father is kneeling in the palace right now." Zhou Yingrong said coldly.

Mrs. Hu kept shaking her head. "How could this happen? Brother Zheng said that it was just to put some things there, nothing would happen, nothing would happen."

"The prince has already ordered that the families where these things were found be imprisoned, and he is just waiting for the emperor to recover before making the final decision. Oh, by the way, I heard that your mother is dying, and the prince showed mercy and didn't send her to prison."

Hu stood up suddenly and said, "I want to go. Take me to see it."

Zhou Yingrong clapped her hands, "My father said when he left that you are not allowed to leave this yard. Not only you, but also Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yingning. You just wait for the news here. Don't worry, if the old lady of the Hu family is really gone, I will definitely send someone to tell you. You should at least cry for her."

"Zhou Yingrong, please don't leave. I beg you, please, take me out to see the world, please."

"Oh, so there will be a day when you will ask me for help." Zhou Yingrong looked at Hu, who was pulling her sleeve and crying with tears all over her face, and suddenly remembered the saying "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west".

"I advise you to take care of your son. I heard that he just wanted to get up yesterday to drink a glass of water, but he accidentally bumped into the table and hit his knee. The doctor said that all the bones were broken. Oh, what should we do? Why is your son's body broken here and there recently? Could it be that your Hu family has offended him and he is suffering the consequences?"

Mrs. Hu was stunned, thinking that the last time her son came back to see her, she was carried in on a stretcher. He said that he was in severe pain all over his body, and it felt like a broken bone if he accidentally touched something.

Watching Zhou Yingrong twisting her body and leaving the yard, Mrs. Hu sat down coldly. How could it become like this? At that time, her son and she planned to hide some of King Jing's weapons in the Hu family. The reason was that the Hu family was very close to the West Emperor Gate. If there really came a day in the future, people could sneak in in plain clothes and then go to the Hu family to take the weapons.

She didn't dare to do it at first, she was scared to death, but Zhou Zheng and Hu Yukun persuaded her together, since they had joined King Jing, they should show their sincerity, if they couldn't even help this, how could King Jing use them again. There were many people who wanted to help King Jing, if it weren't for Hong Zhe and Zhou Zheng's good relationship, the Hu family would not have this respectability.

Besides, King Jing would not hand over the weapons if the person was not absolutely trustworthy.

Sure enough, ever since those weapons were hidden in the Hu family, the Hu family's status in King Jing's eyes has risen sharply, and Hu Yukun and Hu Yucheng have been doing more and more private things for the Hong family and King Jing.

But how could King Jing fall so quickly? Hu felt a headache, and even the half of her face that was burned hurt.

She sat there with her head covered. What should she do? The prince would definitely not save the Hu family. It was already difficult to prevent the Hu family from getting involved in the Shenjunwang Mansion. He would not come forward to plead for mercy.

I can't get out, and Brother Zheng is in this condition and can't even move. Who can I ask for help?

For a time, the once glorious Princess Shen couldn't find anyone to help her.
