Chapter 55: Infinite Scenery
By the afternoon, Commander Zuo had found several key pieces of evidence in the Third Prince's mansion.
Only then did the emperor make up his mind to deal with his third son.
The commander-in-chief of the left reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a hidden secret room in the Third Prince's residence. We found a dragon robe that you once wore hanging inside, as well as a dragon chair that you once used."
Upon hearing this, the emperor was so angry that he cursed: "This ignorant, wishful fellow!"
Commander Zuo continued, "In addition, we also found a plan written by the third prince." As he spoke, he respectfully handed the plan to the emperor.
The emperor took the plan, opened it and read it carefully. As he turned more pages, his face became more gloomy, and his eyes gradually spewed out anger.
The book actually records the conspiracy that the third prince Ren Zhang discussed with others. It says: "As long as we can successfully marry Qi, we will find ways to bribe people to kill the emperor and put the blame on the prince, and get rid of the Qi and Pei mansions..."
The emperor's face turned livid and he threw the booklet heavily on the table. He never mentioned replacing the third prince or faking his death again.
A son, in order to seize the throne, wanted to poison his father and put the blame on the crown prince. It is against the will of heaven if such a man does not die.
"If I let him go, what if he gets help from someone and gets free again? I will kill him even harder." The emperor thought to himself, "It's safer to let this evil boy die."
Commander-in-Chief Zuo observed the emperor's expression and saw that he was furious. He guessed that he would not let the third prince go, and he felt relieved.
He was very afraid that the emperor would let the third prince go, so he led people to search for evidence in the third prince's mansion again and again. Today, he finally found evidence in the dark room.
Although Commander Zuo felt strange in his heart: "I have searched this secret room before, but didn't find any evidence. How come I found evidence again today?"
He was just happy, as long as the Third Prince died, he didn't care where the evidence came from, whether it was released by Princess Changning's people, Qin Gaoming's people, or the Crown Prince's people.
Commander Zuo had threatened the Third Prince in the dungeon and severely punished the Third Prince's guards. From now on, if the Third Prince turned over, he would be the first to be killed.
Commander Zuo mentioned again: "In the Third Prince's basement, there is a woman from the Ding family named Ding Ling'er imprisoned. She is half crazy and half insane, and she wants to be the queen. Your Majesty, please take a look..."
The emperor waved his hand in anger, "The Ding family is guilty, the men will die, the women will be enslaved, and she will be sent to a brothel."
"She was once favored by the Third Prince, and now she's crazy. If we send her to a brothel, she might tell others about the Third Prince." Commander Zuo reminded in a low voice.
The emperor frowned, "Then kill him."
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Commander Zuo saluted respectfully.
After this incident with the Third Prince, the Emperor became more satisfied with Commander Zuo's performance.
After all, although the Third Prince was charged with corruption, he was not implicated in treason and conspiracy. These were things that the Emperor did not want the outside world to know, and Commander Zuo was handling the matter in full compliance with his orders.
Commander Zuo even sent people to spread rumors, claiming that the third prince was executed because he damaged the dragon robe and embezzled one million military pay. This not only covered up the third prince's various shameful deeds, but also raised the emperor's reputation, making people think that the emperor really did "princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as common people."
"I have something for you to do." The emperor suddenly waved his hand, signaling everyone in the room to leave.
Commander Zuo stood respectfully, waiting for the emperor's instructions. He knew very well that the emperor might say something important at this moment.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Commander Zuo lowered his head, indicating that he was ready to listen.
Seeing the emperor being so cautious, he realized that what the emperor was going to say next must be very important. If he did it well, he would definitely benefit a lot, but if he did it badly, he would be in big trouble. At this moment, he had to stay alert in order to deal with any possible situation.
"Tomorrow..." The emperor said in a low voice.
When Commander Zuo heard what the emperor said, he frowned and looked shocked, but then he regained his composure and said, "As you wish, Your Majesty!"
"If you succeed, I will make you a Duke." The emperor promised.
Commander Zuo knelt down excitedly and said, "I will serve Your Majesty till death and be loyal to him."
"Very good!" The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and a smile returned to his thin face.
The emperor did two things on this day. One was to order someone to "send a banquet to the third prince, and then send him off after he eats."
The other two things were the arrangement of a marriage.
"Give Zuo Xing's second daughter to the crown prince as a concubine."
This sudden arranged marriage made everyone feel strange.
The prince himself was also surprised, "How could my father be so generous as to give the daughter of an important official to me as a concubine?"
Of course, having Commander Zuo's daughter as a concubine would only bring benefits to the Crown Prince, not harm.
The prince was overjoyed.
After hearing the news, the second prince felt even more depressed: "Alas, I am the one whose father doesn't love me, whose mother doesn't love me, whose elder brother hates me, and whose brothers blame me."
He could only blame, “Why didn’t I reincarnate into the Queen’s belly before the Crown Prince did?”
The next two imperial brothers were born to the queen’s distant cousin and the other to the queen’s cousin.
They were not close to the Second Prince at all and often blamed him, "When your mother was alive, she often bullied our mother."
The second prince once patiently said, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, at that time, your mother was a noble concubine, and your mother was a maid who had just entered the palace."
The fourth brother rolled his eyes, "What's wrong with a palace maid? Our mother was the imperial grandmother's little palace maid."
The fifth brother echoed, "You are making fun of our mother."
The second prince could only sigh and dared not continue to defend himself.
Ever since his mother died of illness a few years ago and Concubine Zuo was promoted to Imperial Concubine, no one in the harem spoke for him anymore.
Now that Commander Zuo's second daughter has become the Crown Prince's concubine, her future will be even more glorious.
The Second Prince decided to show his goodwill to Commander Zuo and sent someone to deliver a gift to the Zuo Mansion, "Congratulations Commander Zuo."
Commander Zuo put on a righteous attitude and declined with a smile: "Go tell His Royal Highness the Second Prince that I will not accept gifts."
In fact, he really wanted to accept the gift, but he was afraid that the Crown Prince's son-in-law would be unhappy, so he did not dare to make friends with the Second Prince.
Commander Zuo felt extremely proud, and even the Second Prince came to please him.
The Second Prince was rejected by Commander Zuo and was furious. He cursed, "How dare this bastard look down on me."
He felt a fire running through his body and wanted to vent it out, no longer wanting to swallow his anger in silence.
"I want them all to die!" The second prince paced back and forth in the room.
Li Ranyang, the military advisor sent by the Li Mansion, guessed the Second Prince's thoughts and stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, you must use the means to do everything."
"What plan do you have to help me get ahead?"
The military advisors all understood the prince's intention to take the lead.
Military Advisor Li smiled. His thin face was full of wrinkles. His smile was like a blooming chrysanthemum. "It's too easy. As long as the young master of the Li Mansion marries the eldest daughter of the Qi Mansion..." He whispered an idea, "You have two great generals' mansions, the Li Mansion and the Qi Mansion, and you have a prime minister among the civil officials. Are you afraid that you can't beat others?"
"This is a good idea." The second prince felt at ease, and he began to plan a marriage between his elder brother-in-law Li Zhi and the Qi family.
He swore in his heart, "If I ever come out on top, I will torture Zuo the old villain to death for three days."
Commander Zuo didn't know that the Second Prince hated him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
He controls the imperial guards, and has a sister who is a royal concubine in the harem. He has a daughter who is a concubine of the crown prince, and will at least be a concubine in the future. If she gives birth to a boy or a girl, she will not have any problem becoming a royal concubine.
