During the Dragon Boat Festival, the people all went to the Danshui River outside the city to watch dragon boat racing, but the emperor in the palace was going to Jinming Lake to inspect the navy.

This grand event that demonstrated the power of the Great Zhou army, Emperor Xuande not only asked all civil and military officials to reward him with him, but also gave seats to several favored concubines in the harem. Feng Zheng and Song Jianing also gained face. Therefore, on the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, Song Jianing repeatedly reminded the wet nurse to take good care of Zhaozhao, and then took Liu Xi into the palace.

Queen Li rarely put on the queen's crown and uniform, and was elegant and luxurious. The eldest son Sheng Geer stood obediently beside her. Seeing her biological mother Feng Zheng, Sheng Geer could not turn her eyes and looked at her mother, but she never ran over as she pleased. The eldest son was young and became more and more sensible, and Feng Zheng was relieved and sad.

When Song Jianing saw that he had promoted his brother for a while, his attention gradually fell on Princess Duanhui next to Concubine Shu. Her mother revealed to her that her stepfather had decided to let Guo Xiao marry Princess Duanhui, but she didn't know when to propose marriage. Thinking that the cousins ​​of the previous life had been delayed for so long, Song Jianing felt uneasy.

"Empress, the emperor has sent someone to invite him." The little eunuch bent over and walked in and reported.

Everyone was shocked and all looked excited. Queen Li nodded calmly, then led Brother Sheng and took the lead. The four princesses sorted by seniority, Feng Zheng and Princess Rui, and Song Jianing and Li Mulan walked next to each other. Song Jianing looked at Li Mulan and saw that the female hero was full of energy and was obviously looking forward to the navy training, just like an ordinary lady who was happy to enjoy the flowers.

Song Jianing had never seen such a grand event in his two lives, and was both curious and looking forward to it.

The imperial concubine set out in the early morning, and the imperial carriage walked slowly. The long carriages stopped at the shore of Jinming Lake. The huge Jinming Lake had been surrounded by the imperial corps, and warships were waiting for the water surface. One of the two-story painting boats was prepared for the nobles in the palace. The concubines followed Emperor Xuande on the head and went to the Water Heart Hall in the middle of the lake. This was where Emperor Xuande inspected the navy.

Song Jianing and his daughter-in-law were sitting in the accord on the second floor with Empress Li and other concubines. The elders admired the scenery and admired the warships on the lake. Li Mulan deliberately took Song Jianing to the position next to the window, pointed outside, and excitedly introduced to Song Jianing: "Did you see those ships with wheels? That's called a car and boat. The soldiers pressed their feet to make the wheels rotate, and the hand-rowed oars can make the warships go quickly."

Song Jianing looked at the big ship like a hill about twenty or thirty feet long and was shocked to speak. Not only her, but also shocked when she heard Li Mulan talk about Queen Li and others not far away. These women who had lived in the inner house for a long time had only heard of the war between the two armies. Now that they witnessed the power of the warships with their own eyes, they could imagine the tragic battle of the warships.

"The ship was riding a cannon cart, which was used to throw boulders and fireballs onto enemy warships."

"That's Litou Dart. The iron dart shot out is more than two pounds and can penetrate the enemy's ship board..."

The pleasure boat was slowly moving, and Li Mulan talked endlessly all the way. Song Jianing was stunned when he heard it. He was both afraid of the murderous warships and admired Li Mulan's knowledge. Prince Gong's biological mother, Concubine Hui, sat next to Queen Li. Seeing these women staring at her daughter-in-law in amazement, Concubine Hui felt that her daughter-in-law had given her a face for the first time, and secretly decided to wait for the fourth brother to come back and she wanted to say a few good things for her daughter-in-law.

The pleasure boat was docked, Emperor Xuande was about to talk to the naval generals, and the female relatives first went to the water pavilion to sit in the water pavilion. Song Jianing walked beside Li Mulan and suddenly felt someone looking at her. She turned her head slightly and saw Guo Xiao standing among the military officers, wearing the official uniform of the horse army Du Yuhou, cold and majestic. Song Jianing immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at him without squinting.

Guo Xiao looked at the figure that made him think about day and night, and he retracted his gaze until the women's family walked into the water pavilion and could no longer see it.

The water pavilion was covered by screens on three sides, and opposite was the vast Jinming Lake. The warships of all sizes were arranged on the lake, so I could see it more clearly. In this situation, Song Jianing quickly forgot the discomfort brought by Guo Xiao. While watching it, he was a pity for his own prince. The prince was pretending to be the people in his heart. He pretended to be the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he could see such a magnificent naval army, he would definitely be relieved, right?

Song Jianing decided to go back and write a letter from the family and send it to the prince tomorrow, and it will not be until the end of the month.

As he looked, a warship suddenly came towards this side. Song Jianing stared at the ship. When the ship stopped beside him, Song Jianing tilted his head and then realized that it was asking Emperor Xuande to beat the drum in person and ordered the drill to start. Song Jianing, like other women, stretched his neck and looked around, and watched Emperor Xuande step onto the board alone. But just as Emperor Xuande walked to the center of the board, a person's head suddenly came out of the water on one side, and raised his hand as if he was going to do something!

There was a riot on the boat and ashore at the same time, and Song Jianing was so scared that he covered his mouth.

At that time, Wang En, the eunuch who followed Emperor Xuande, suddenly rushed over and hugged Emperor Xuande. Then, when Wang En tried to protect Emperor Xuande, a sharp arrow shot towards him like lightning, hitting his arm. Wang En shouted to protect him, and the people in the water wanted to shoot a second hidden weapon and blow the arrow, but were subdued by the imperial guards who were rushing to jump into the water.

But no one knew whether other assassins were lurking in the water. Emperor Xuande was shocked and angry, and his life was targeted. He was not in the mood to review the water army and immediately ordered his return to Beijing.

The emperor was almost assassinated, and the concubines in the water pavilion turned pale. Song Jianing was also in a state of fear. The thrilling moment of the past came to his mind. He followed Li Mulan out in a daze, and she was in a daze all the way until she got on the carriage. She shivered suddenly. Someone wanted to murder the emperor. Who is so bold?

~

When someone was plotting against the enemy, Emperor Xuande was furious and ordered the city gate to be blocked. Unless he held an imperial edict, no one was allowed to enter and exit. Then he ordered the Privy Council to interrogate the assassin captured alive. When the emperor was assassinated, the people hurriedly hurriedly at home, not daring to make noises. All civil and military officials were silent and stared at the Privy Council.

The Privy Council had been under trial for half a day. At dusk, the Privy Councilor Cao Yu went to Chongzheng Hall to report his life with a confession. After Emperor Xuande saw it, he raised his head with a gloomy face, glanced at Xu Wei, the deputy minister beside Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and then slowly fell on his younger brother King Qin, and said coldly: "The assassin confessed that King Qin and Deputy Minister Xu Wei conspired to assassinate, intending to rebel, is there any such thing?"

As soon as this was said, several important officials in the hall were shocked. Deputy Prime Minister Xu Wei was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he felt like he was dreaming. The King of Qin had been in a state of hiding his nephew, Prince Wu'an, and now he was wrongly accused of rebellion. The King of Qin first reacted, and knelt down, blushed and swore: "Brother, I am loyal to you and I will never dare to have any rebellion. This is someone deliberately framed me. Please check it out!"

"Boom" and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged!" Deputy Prime Minister Xu Wei finally reacted, kneeled on the ground with weak hands and feet, showing his loyalty and swearing, and resolutely not pleading guilty.

Emperor Xuande was about to speak, when the eldest prince, King Chu, also stood up, walked to the emperor's uncle, King Qin, and stared at him angrily: "Father, the emperor is the best person, he is a minister. He will never murder his father. I am willing to use his life to guarantee him!" The tiger eyes glared at his father. In fact, the King of Chu was angry that the murderer behind the planning of this matter, and he was angry that the other party dared to frame his good uncle!

Emperor Xuande looked at his eldest son, and his hands under the table unknowingly clenched.

Prime Minister Zhao Pu stepped forward calmly and looked directly at the King of Chu and said, "Your Highness, today the emperor was assassinated, and the country that concerns the Zhou Dynasty. Since the assassin confessed to the King of Qin and the Deputy Prime Minister, he should ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate and rely on evidence to convict everything, and not to act emotionally."

The King of Chu was someone who even dared to contradict his own father, Emperor Xuande. Now he was actually a man who had secretly kept the queen mother's will and indirectly killed his cousin. The King of Chu's hot temper suddenly came up: "You..."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Pu did not look at him, but turned his head to Emperor Xuande and said, "Emperor, I know that the emperor and the King of Qin have deep affection, but the country is ahead of family affairs. Please put the overall situation first and do not abuse the law and make the court unconfused." Although the two dynasties, who are over 60 years old, have white hair, their voices are full of energy. Rather than advising the emperor, it is more like an elder reminding the younger generation not to do anything wrong, and they cannot hear any cowardice and respect in their words.

When Emperor Xuande heard this, he looked at his younger brother, King Qin, who was kneeling there, with an extremely embarrassed and painful look on his face. In the end, he was still begging the King of Qin. The King of Chu closed his eyes and sighed: "Come here, let the King of Qin, Xu Wei temporarily suppress the Heavenly Prison."

As soon as he finished speaking, four imperial guards took the order and entered.

Xu Wei's face was ashes.

As early as the old fox Zhao Pu spoke, he vaguely realized what was going on with this frame-up. When the emperor seized the throne from Emperor Gaozu, he was reluctant to pass the dragon throne to his younger brother, so the emperor wanted to abandon the King of Qin. Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu was defeated by him, and Zhao Pu's sister-in-law was also demoted to a remote place to die in a foreign land because he was demoted to a remote place. Therefore, Zhao Pu seized the opportunity to return to Beijing and used a will to clear the emperor's name in exchange for Emperor Xuande to abandon his pawn.

So the emperor and Zhao Pu joined forces to design this assassination, and they wanted to eliminate him and the King of Qin in one fell swoop, and each took the needs.

It is precisely because I want to inflict a crime, why not worry about it?

If the emperor wants him to die, can he still survive? Xu Wei can't see any vitality.

The King of Qin also guessed the general truth. The brother was so cruel and ruthless. Regardless of the brotherhood of the two of them, the King of Qin felt cold all over, but he didn't want to die and didn't want to bear false charges. It would be useless to ask the brother... The King of Qin's eyes turned and fell on the clothes of his nephew, King of Chu, next to him!

Before being taken down by the guards, the King of Qin stared at his nephew, just like a drowning person looking at a life-saving straw.

Seeing the respected emperor's uncle being taken away by the guards with his own eyes, the King of Chu was heartbroken and angry, clenched his fists with his hands and shouted at the man on the dragon chaise: "Father, that's your brother, don't you even believe in your brother!"

Emperor Xuande knew the boss's temper. Although he didn't like the eldest son's respect for the King of Qin so much, he was not too angry. He glanced at the ministers in the hall. Emperor Xuande said with a serious expression: "I believe that it is precisely because I believe in the King of Qin that I have to send someone to verify it and give your uncle a cleansing innocence. Be careful not to be impatient. Right and wrong will be decided by yourself. I will not wrong anyone."

It turned out that the father believed in the emperor's uncle, and the King of Chu breathed a little relieved. He stayed in the palace until dark, and the result was not found in the Privy Council. The Emperor asked him to return to the palace first. The King of Chu thought that the princess at home must have been frightened for a day, so he strided out of the palace.

In the Chu Prince's Mansion, Cheng Ge'er had been carried by the wet nurse. Feng Zheng sat alone in the main hall, silently turning the Buddhist beads in his hand. His right eyelid kept beating. Feng Zheng couldn't help but feel panic. She couldn't even figure out why she was panicked. The assassination of the emperor must not have done it by the prince, nor by the King of Qin. What was she worried about?

After the first update, Feng Zheng almost trotted to greet her when her prince came back.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Father is fine." The red light could not hide the worries on her face. The King of Chu took a few steps and hugged his timid princess and coaxed in a low voice.

A man's tall and burly chest is the most reassuring, Feng Zheng calmed down a little. He looked up and saw his thick eyebrows frowning deeply. Feng Zheng's heart rose again and asked in a low voice: "Why is the prince frowning?"

The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touching his brows, unable to tell whether he was frowning or not. However, thinking of the emperor's uncle who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison at this time, the King of Chu lost the mood to appease the princess and walked in with her hand. The King of Chu had no use of supper, and Feng Zheng was useless. Neither of the couple had the desire to go to the inner room to rest.

When he got to bed, the King of Chu hugged his wife and said in depression: "The father asked the Privy Council to interrogate the assassin. The assassin was not sure who was instructed to frame the emperor and Xu Wei for intention to rebel! Wait, don't let me catch the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise I'll tell him that he is worse than death. See if he dares to slander people."

Feng Zheng froze in her husband's arms.

Assassin, a false accusing the emperor of the emperor? The serious crime of treason was actually involved in the emperor's uncle?

As a devil, Feng Zheng heard what Empress Li said behind her that day. Empress Li said that the emperor would never be willing to hand over the throne to the King of Qin. In March, the empress dowager's will be passed on, and the King of Qin became the recognized crown prince of the people. So now something happened to the King of Qin is related to the Emperor?

Empress Li also said that the prince is destined to have a disaster. Will the prince be robbed this time by the prince?

Feng Zheng hugged his man tightly.

She hugged her too tightly, as if she was afraid of something, and misunderstood that her wife was also worried about the emperor's uncle. The King of Chu patted her on the shoulder and said lightly: "Don't worry, the emperor's uncle is obviously wronged. The father is very careful. After two days, the emperor's uncle will be fine."

Feng Zheng also hopes that this is the case, and hopes that the emperor can find out the real murderer behind the scenes, and hopes that the emperor is not the real murderer behind the scenes.

He raised his head, Feng Zheng held her husband's hand and looked at him beggingly: "Prince, I know you have a deep relationship with the emperor, but today my father was almost killed. The shock I received must be quite serious. The father is the one you should worry most. No matter how the father judges in this case, the prince should think about it for his father, okay?"

"This is natural." The King of Chu said without hesitation. Before the assassin framed the emperor's uncle, the King of Chu pretended to be his father, and he was determined to find the real murderer to avenge his father.

He agreed to the situation, but Feng Zheng couldn't rest assured. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The genius went to bed after the third update.

The King of Chu was not sleeping soundly, and woke up half an hour earlier than usual. He fisted two quarters of an hour in the martial arts training ground to vent his depression, took a shower and changed his clothes, and then entered the palace. All civil and military officials arrived and stood at the steps in two rows. The King of Chu walked to the front of the military officer and looked at the Privy Councilor Cao Yu. The King of Chu frowned and asked, "Has the real murderer been found?"

Cao Yu lowered his eyes and said, "The emperor has a decree, and I will not let you disclose the secrets. Please forgive me."

The King of Chu snorted coldly, glanced at the second brother of the civil servant, King Rui, who was on the side of the civil servant. He took a step and stood in front of Cao Yu.

As soon as the morning court arrived, the officials led the two princes up the stairs and entered the hall one by one. When they stood up, the hall was silent. After a cup of tea, Emperor Xuande walked from one side to the dragon throne, sat down, and asked Cao Yu straight to the point: "Will the case of King Qin be a result?"

Cao Yu stepped out of the line, walked to the center of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Report to the emperor, yesterday the imperial guards searched the Qin Palace and found a bright yellow dragon robe under the box of the Qin King's inner chamber. The letter was written by Xu Wei, one accusing the emperor of his unremitting campaign in the past, and the other accusing the prince of Wu'an's death was related to the emperor. The last letter was written in early April this year, with rampant words and cursing the emperor to return to heaven as soon as possible."

An inhalation sound immediately sounded in the hall.

Cao Yu continued: "The three letters Xu Wei have admitted that they were written by him. The guards also found a reply from the King of Qin in Xu's mansion. The King of Qin and the King of Qin replied, saying that he had the same wish as Xu Wei and threatened that when he ascended the throne, he would restore Xu Wei's position as prime minister."

After his words were reasonable and well-founded, the ministers were nodded. When the emperor made an expedition in the north, Xu Wei didn't say anything, but anyone could see that he was opposed in his heart, and it was reasonable to complain about it. This year, Zhao Pu entered Beijing, and the identity of the elders of the two dynasties forced Xu Wei to take the initiative to give up the virtuous and lose the prime minister. Therefore, Xu Wei wanted to collude with the King of Qin to retake the position of prime minister under the King of Qin. The same was true.

Moreover, the dragon robe was found in the Qin King's mansion, and even if there were all human and physical evidence, the name of rebellion could no longer be eliminated.

"I don't believe it. All the letters of dragon robe are false accusations!" When other ministers silently convicted the King of Qin, the King of Chu suddenly jumped out, blushed and shouted with a thick neck.

On the dragon throne, Emperor Xuande frowned, but did not rush to say anything.

Privy Councilor Cao Yu said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Every sentence is true. Xu Wei's confession, dragon robe and letter are outside. Please review it yourself." He said that, looking at Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande nodded.

Cao Yu, who had been waiting outside the hall, heard Xuanzhao and came in with his hands holding the tray. A bright yellow dragon robe was placed on the tray, with confessions and letters on both sides. The eunuch Wang En walked down to take the tray, and then brought it to Emperor Xuande with a solemn expression. After Emperor Xuande saw it, he was furious and threw the tray into the center of the hall, saying coldly: "Look at it, is it the handwriting of King Qin and Xu Wei!"

The emperor was furious, and no one dared to move the civil and military officials for the time being.

The King of Chu was determined to clear the emperor's grievances, and was the first to bend down to pick up the letter that flew to his feet. It was a coincidence that the reply letter from the King of Qin gave Xu Wei. Looking at the familiar handwriting on it, the King of Chu's hands trembled faintly, and his face, which was red due to anger, turned white little by little.

However, just as other officials circulated the letters scattered on the ground, the King of Chu's eyes became firmer again and turned to look at Emperor Xuande.
