After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

"Crown Prince and Sixth Prince, what good ideas do you two have?"

Song Yanyi's eyes flashed with light. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly and confidently: "Father, the border is frequently harassed and the people are living in hardship, but I think there is no need to worry too much about this fact."

His words were filled with a calmness and wisdom beyond his age.

"The border has been relatively peaceful over the years thanks to General Cui's dedication. But it would be inappropriate to send the aged General Cui to the border again. After all, my father also needs a loyal minister like General Cui. Moreover, General Cui has many brave generals under his command. We will definitely be able to select a suitable general to continue General Cui's unfinished mission of guarding the border."

Song Yanchen was annoyed when he saw that Song Yanyi had proposed his idea first, but in an instant, his brows relaxed.

"Your Highness is right. The reason why the border is so arrogant is because we lack a general who can shock the four directions. As long as my father and General Cui have a discerning eye and carefully select talents, the problems of the border will naturally be solved."

His words were full of anticipation.

"This will not only avoid wasting money and manpower, but also properly handle border affairs, which is the best policy."

Huangdi was silent for a moment, carefully weighing the opinions of the two princes, and finally nodded slowly.

"What the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince said makes sense, so let's proceed accordingly."

He turned to General Cui and ordered, "General Cui, follow me to the Qinzheng Palace and work together to draw up a list of candidates. I will make the final decision. This is the end of today's morning court session!"

Song Yanyi bowed respectfully and left the hall, but his eyes followed the figures of Emperor Huang and General Cui until they disappeared at the end of the hall.

After returning to the East Palace, he quickly deployed secret guards to secretly monitor outside the Qinzheng Hall and report immediately once Emperor Huang and General Cui left.

Time passed minute by minute, and about two hours later, the secret guard brought news that Emperor Huang and General Cui had left the Qinzheng Hall.

Song Yanyi did not hesitate and immediately set off for the Qinzheng Hall.

He entered the hall with ease, exchanged a look with the gatekeepers that only they understood, and quietly entered the country's most core decision-making place.

Song Yanyi walked slowly towards Emperor Huang's desk, his eyes moving through the pile of memorials, looking for that crucial document.

Time passed quietly, and half a quarter of an hour later, he finally found what he needed.

Just as he carefully hid the memorial into his sleeve and was about to leave, he unexpectedly ran into Emperor Huang, General Cui who had returned, and Song Yanchen who was following closely behind!

Song Yanyi frowned, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

Why didn’t the secret guard report it in time?

At this moment, escape was obviously impossible, so he could only bite the bullet and stay where he was, pretending to be calm.

Song Yanchen followed Emperor Huang and General Cui into the hall. Seeing Song Yanyi here, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"

Although Song Yanyi was nervous inside, he remained calm on the surface. He said slowly, "I wanted to discuss border affairs with you again, but you and General Cui had already left. So I waited outside the door. Suddenly I heard a strange noise in the hall, and I was worried that something might have happened, so I hurried in to check. Please forgive me, I didn't mean to trespass without permission."

Song Yanchen's heart trembled. Did he miss a good opportunity to catch a spy?

He stared at Song Yanyi with a deep gaze: "Did His Royal Highness find anything?"

"I haven't had time to investigate it in detail yet." Song Yanyi said calmly.

Huangdi frowned and looked at Song Yanyi sternly: "If this happens again in the future, just notify the guards outside to deal with it. The Qinzheng Palace is extraordinary and cannot be entered and exited at will. You must keep this in mind."

Song Yanyi let out a sigh and accepted the criticism: "It was my fault for not considering it carefully."

Just as Huangdi was about to continue asking questions, Song Yanchen suddenly interrupted: "Wait!"

Everyone's eyes turned to him, and he looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Father, the Crown Prince just mentioned the unusual noise in the palace. If it was just a mouse, there is no need to worry..."

However, if it was done by a mortal, the nature of the matter would be completely different. Father, please examine it carefully and check whether any important documents are missing from the imperial desk."

After he finished speaking, Song Yanyi's body tensed up involuntarily.

His eyes were as sharp as blades as he swept coldly over Song Yanchen, and he was inwardly surprised that the other party would question him so directly.

The memorial containing the list of candidates he had carefully selected was now lying quietly in his sleeve, as if it could be penetrated by his father's sharp gaze at any time!

Before he could come to his senses, he saw that his father's expression had changed quietly, revealing a bit of solemnity and vigilance.

Seeing the delicate situation, Song Yanchen quickly said, "Father, please be clear. Today, some villains have sneaked into the Qinzheng Palace and stolen state secrets. This matter concerns the safety of the country. I implore you to order a thorough investigation to prevent future troubles!"

Song Yanyi pursed his lips, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and echoed: "Sixth brother is right. If the military strategy is accidentally leaked, it may cause unrest in the court and the country. I will immediately deploy personnel to get to the bottom of it."

"Of course we have to investigate, but how about we start with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Song Yanchen suddenly suggested, "After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the only one present in the palace at the time, and this move was also to avoid suspicion and prevent misunderstandings from the outside world."

"In this case, Your Highness the Crown Prince's active cooperation is what everyone expects and sets an example for all the ministers." As soon as these words came out, Song Yanyi's fingers almost dug into his palms, and his heart was surging.

Could it be that Song Yanchen really had some clues? But judging from his expression, he did not seem to be confident. For a moment, he was in a dilemma - refuting would only lead to more suspicion, and agreeing would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

The emperor's indifferent eyes swept across Song Yanyi, and finally nodded and said: "Han'er's words make sense. You will assist Yi'er in investigating this matter thoroughly, and you must be fair and impartial."

"Your son obeys your command." Song Yanchen responded, then raised his head and gave Song Yanyi a meaningful smile, "Then I won't be polite, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Faced with this sudden search, Song Yanyi remained silent, just spread out his hands and let Song Yanchen do what he wanted.

Song Yanchen's eyes flashed slightly, and then he began to explore his body carefully.

When his hand touched the foreign object in Song Yanyi's sleeve, he immediately asked loudly: "Your Highness, what is hidden in your sleeve?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor stood up suddenly, walked to the two of them, and ordered gloomily: "Take it out!"

Song Yanyi had a blank expression on his face as he slowly pulled out a seemingly ordinary memorial from his sleeve.

Song Yanchen was secretly pleased with himself. He originally just wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Song Yanyi, but he never expected to have such an unexpected gain!

Seeing that Song Yanyi was slow in his movements, he urged
