    Kings seize the heirs¡¿Chapter 25 There is an uproar

    In the spring of the 28th year of Hongguang, just half a month before Emperor Hongguang was about to install Zhu Ci as the crown prince, something happened that made Emperor Hongguang furious and wanted to kill someone.

    Tian Rong saw Yin Shixun coming and made a gesture to ask Yin Shixun to stop, "The emperor is angry at this time, so be careful when you speak!"

    Yin Shixun nodded, thinking that it would be strange if the emperor was not angry!  Just a few days ago, I don¡¯t know who came out, saying that the mother of King Zhu Ci of Chu, Concubine Kang, was Liu Rushi, the concubine of Qian Qianyi, the former Minister of Rites. This caused an uproar in the court, and some people even suspected that Chu  Whether Wang was the biological son of Emperor Hongguang, whether Qian Qianyi followed Lu Buwei's example and gave the pregnant Liu Rushi to Emperor Hongguang. There are no less than ten versions of this, but the most terrible thing is that he knew Liu Rushi.  There are not ten but eight officials in the current dynasty. As long as Concubine Kang goes forward, who will not recognize her!

    Yin Shixun's head also hurt, because there was something more disturbing for him later. Not only did the rumor that Concubine Kang was Qian Qianyi's concubine broke out, but it was also rumored that he ransacked Hou Fangyu's home, but secretly  Li Xiangjun was sent to the palace, and she is now Concubine Shun.

    As soon as Yin Shixun came in, he found that Emperor Hongguang's face was very scary, like a tiger ready to eat people at any time, and his whole body was filled with cold air, "Your Majesty, the minister is here."

    I looked at Yin Shixun to calm down, "Sit down! You know everything, right? Tell me what you think."

    Yin Shixun sighed, "The emperor must have thought about it, and the people who know those things are basically people close to the emperor. In the final analysis, it is a battle surrounding the establishment of the crown prince, but Weichen did not expect it to turn into this.  In addition to the "Jinling Xunkan", there are no less than a dozen other tabloids that have published this matter. Weichen recommends an immediate investigation."

    I waved my hand.  "It's too late to do this now, and there is a suspicion of concealing it. I have really thought about this matter. Do you think it is the second or fourth child?" When I had dinner some time ago, I revealed that I wanted to establish a reserve, and I wanted to establish the eldest son.  , as a result, within a few days, such rumors came out. Only those who know the details can speak in such detail.  The most suspicious ones are the second and fourth sons. They have never been convinced. They have really been working hard in the past few years. The sons are like clockwork, competing vigorously. At this time, naturally  Not willing to fail, this edict really hit the crux of the matter.

    Yin Shixun groaned.  "Your Majesty, the King of Jin and the King of Wu may both be possible. It is useless to talk about it now. I don't know how the Emperor wants to calm down this matter. Now it has been spread outside. Several ministers have the intention to jointly submit a letter. Let the Emperor  After carefully considering the consequences of the King of Chu becoming the prince, the implication is that he does not want the emperor to appoint the King of Chu as the prince, and most of them are from the King of Wu. However, the general environment is indeed like this, and all the minor officials are being pointed at. " Yin.  Shixun had done a lot of damaging things for Emperor Hongguang, and now that one or two of them had been exposed, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

    "I'm in a mess right now and haven't thought about it yet, but now I want to know who spread these things. If I let me know, I will never spare him." I am really angry now.  It's like having a scar opened by someone, it's not a pleasant feeling.

    In the palace of Prince Jin.  Jin King Zhu Cijiong was clapping his hands and frowning. Sitting opposite him was Gao Di, "Uncle, although I have been familiar with the affairs of my father's palace over the years and know those things, this matter was definitely not done by me.  , my mother and Concubine Kang have always had a very good relationship, so I know these inside stories. I think others may not know it, and only a few people know about it. If it weren¡¯t for Concubine Kang, my mother wouldn¡¯t have known it either.  I will have this day with my father. Although I have a competitive relationship with my eldest brother, I will not use such methods."

    After Gao Di heard those rumors, he immediately came to the Jin Palace. He wanted to ask if Cijiong had spread these rumors. After Ci Jiong proved that they were not rumors, Gao Di's head started to sweat. At this time, he heard  After hearing Cijiong's words, Gao Di sighed, "In any case, the emperor will definitely doubt you and the fourth child, which will be extremely detrimental to you and the fourth child. Although a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, if you offend the emperor, I'm afraid you will  I will never be able to turn over for the rest of my life, although it may have been Lao Si who did it. Although his move delayed the time for the emperor to establish a throne, it was still a bad move, a very bad move!"

    Zhu Cijiong shook his head, "Lao Si has always been very smart. I don't think he is like him. He is the most calculating and will never push himself to the forefront. But it is useless to say this now. Let's see what my father wants to do.  Bar!"

    In the palace of Prince Wu, King Wu Zhu Ciye jumped to his feet anxiously. He heard what his father said a few days ago that he would definitely make his eldest brother the prince. Although he also wanted to get the crown prince position, he had no strategy. This rumor spread across the sky.  The rumors did help him a lot, but when he thought about it carefully, it made him scared. His father would definitely find out who spread these rumors.Although he is now certain that the rumors are true, the situation is very unfavorable to him. The people who know these inside stories are people close to his father, including these sons, and now the biggest suspicion falls on him.  Can you not let him jump?

    The one who was most troubled at this time should be Chu King Zhu Ci. When the rumors first came out, he didn't believe them at all. But as the rumors spread more and more, they became more and more true. Finally, they were published in several publications that were similar in nature to "Jinling Xunkan".  After the above report came out, Zhu Ci couldn't sit still and went to the palace to ask his mother in person. The result made him almost confused. Those rumors turned out to be true. His mother was really the concubine of Qian Qianyi, the former Minister of Rites.  , was once a famous lady by the Qinhuai River. Not only her mother, but also Concubine Shun, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Ning were all known as the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai at that time, and they were celebrities whose beauties spread far and wide.

    Zhu Ci fell ill due to this outburst of anger. The other three empresses treated him as if they were their own son, and they had indeed gotten along best with their mother over the years. It turned out that they had that kind of relationship earlier!  This is great, now that he has become known to the world, how can he have the face to face the world?  Those rumors that he was not his father's biological son made him heartbroken the most. The reason for his heartache was because of who spread these rumors.  Like everyone else, Zhu Ci also doubted Lao 2 and Lao 4. Only they would attack him so desperately at this time.

    Zhu Cixuan came to see his eldest brother, but first he came to the small courtyard where Gong Yeliang lived. Over the past few years, Zhu Cixuan had someone he admired. Gong Yeliang was really awesome.  If you have such a counselor, you will be even more powerful.  It's a pity that Gong Yeliang is too loyal to his elder brother and he can't win him over. It seems that this person will not be able to stay in the future.

    "Sir, you've heard about it, right? What should we do now?" Zhu Cixuan came in and found several reports cut from tabloids on Gong Yeliang's table.

    Gong Yeliang has just received confirmation from Zhu Ci? At this time, he is also racking his brains to think of countermeasures. The current situation is indeed not good, and several years of hard work may be in vain because of this incident.  The person who came up with this move was too cruel, but Gong Yeliang admired him for being able to use this matter to attack the King of Chu at the most critical moment. It can be seen that the other party has been planning for a long time and has been waiting for this day!

    Gong Yeliang looked at King Qin, "Your Majesty, in your opinion, who is the driving force behind the scenes?"

    Zhu Cixuan sneered in his heart.  Zhu Cixuan knew that it was not the second brother Cijiong or the fourth brother Ciye who spread the rumors, but Tian Rong who was hiding in the dark corner. Although there was no evidence, Zhu Cixuan dared to 100% conclude that it was Tian Rong who did it. Tian Rong's move was really  It was so amazing that it not only hit my eldest brother.  It can delay the appointment of the crown prince by his father, and also frame it for the second and fourth brothers, so that he can benefit in the end, but I don¡¯t know if the third brother knows this now.

    Zhu Cixuan thought this in his heart, but he couldn't say, "Sir, I think my fourth brother is more suspicious. Even I don't know about these things!"

    Gong Yeliang knocked on the table, "Because of this, I always feel that he doesn't look like the King of Wu. Nor does he look like the King of Jin. Because if we want to investigate this matter, although we can't find it out, there are numerous suspects.  In other words, this is a deal that harms others but does not benefit oneself. With the intelligence of King Jin and King Wu, if they want to do this, they will not make such a big fuss. I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run!"

    Zhu Cixuan secretly praised in his heart that this Gong Yeliang is really good, "Sir, let me go and see my eldest brother first." Zhu Cixuan came to Zhu Cixuan's bedroom and found his sister-in-law Liu Xuejiao wiping his eldest brother's sweat, "Sister-in-law, let me do it!"

    Liu Xuejiao nodded, knowing that the two brothers might have something to say, he handed the handkerchief to Zhu Cixuan and left.  While wiping his eldest brother's sweat, Zhu Cixuan said, "Brother, since the incident has already happened, it's useless for you to get angry. Besides, it's not yet unsolvable. If you collapse, wouldn't it make Concubine Kang worried? Father  The emperor will be worried too!"

    Zhu Ci let out a long sigh, "Fifth brother, the eldest brother is not thinking of anything else, but it is chilling! Brothers were originally brothers, and now, although they have not reached the point of fratricide, they are no less chilling than sibling.  .¡±

    Zhu Cixuan tried to persuade his eldest brother a few more words, thinking that it might not be the brothers who were causing trouble, but the sinister slave. The third brother had always been a little careless, but even he couldn't think of such a destructive trick. At this time, he still  When I don't have a tit-for-tat confrontation with Tian Rong, how will I deal with you when that time comes?

    The focus of the matter remains on Emperor Hongguang, and all parties are watching how Emperor Hongguang will handle this matter. Now even if Emperor Hongguang denies it, the rumor has come out, and the three of them have become a tiger. Don't say it is true, even if it is true.  It's made up, and the effect is already real.

    As soon as Zhu Cixuan returned home, he found a red envelope bulging on the forehead of the manager Zhang Zhong, "What? What happened to that tigress?" The tigress in Zhu Cixuan's mouth was none other than the little pepper Yan? But at this time,  Little Pepper has become King Qin¡¯s concubine,Already a mother of a child.

    At that time, because of Zhu Cixuan's words, "When will you come to me again when you are at my level?" With this sentence, Yan? was hooked. Two years later, he was expelled from Beijing to Nanjing. I don't know how many rounds he had.  Yan? Why did she change her gender? She would not have married her unless he was the King of Qin. How could Zhu Cixuan dare to marry her? But in the end, when the old man Yan Yingyuan came forward, his father agreed to the marriage. From then on, the Prince of Qin's palace was full of drama, but it had not yet reached Zhang  Zhongsuo predicted the level of the roof above the ground.

    Zhang Zhong said no, he just said that his head hit the door. He didn't dare to say bad things about Yan? behind his back. This princess couldn't eat him!

    It can be said that Zhu Cixuan is both annoyed and fond of Yan? This person has no big ideas and is very cheerful, but his temper is too bad. If he doesn't go along with her even slightly, then he will be punished!  On the other hand, the dowry girl Yan Jin'er completely changed her temper after getting married and became like a smooth-haired cat. Zhu Cixuan often thought that it would be better if the two of them could reconcile.

    Akko saw Zhu Cixuan entering the room, and compared with Zhu Cixuan, he asked Zhu Cixuan not to speak. When Zhu Cixuan came closer, he whispered: "My sister's child just fell asleep. Zhang Zhong accidentally tripped over the chair just now, and my sister's  The teapot flew over and almost caused Zhang Zhong's forehead to bleed." A Ke thought, if Zhang Zhong didn't catch the teapot and broke it, Yan Yan would probably beat Zhang Zhong into a pig's head.  Akko has no way to deal with this sister, who is her sister by name, Yan? It's really barbaric.  In other words, he is unruly!  But it's not too bad for myself.

    Yan? waved to Zhu Cixuan, "Look, he looks so good when he sleeps. He will definitely be as beautiful as me when he grows up."

    Zhu Cixuan said that it would be nice to be like you, but his temper was definitely different. Just as he was about to say something, a servant reported that Qi Junjia was visiting.  Zhu Cixuan said a few words of respect to A Ke and Yan Yan, then turned around to meet Qi Junjia.

    Qi Junjia was in the 24th year of Hongguang High School. After several years of climbing, he had been promoted to the position of Minister of Rites. He was an official who was relatively close to Zhu Cixuan. Qi Junjia was famous for his straight temper, so Zhu Cixuan did not hide his friendship with Qi Junjia.

    "Ji Chao, don't go out, just treat yourself as at home!" Zhu Cixuan did not let Qi Junjia salute, and pulled Qi Junjia aside to sit down, "Ji Chao, you are not at home with Mrs. Ru, how come you have time to come to my place?  "

    Qi Junjia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I won't talk nonsense. I know that Your Majesty and the King of Chu are very close. I came here to tell you something. Some people have started to sign a petition to verify those rumors, especially to the King of Chu."  expressed great doubts about his origins.¡±

    "Who are they? Ji Chao is in the Ministry of Etiquette, and has he also received this joint brochure?" Zhu Cixuan didn't expect it to develop so fast. If this brochure got into the hands of his father, he would be so angry!

    Qi Junjia sighed, "There are all kinds of people, some of them are important ministers of the imperial court, but I didn't sign. I don't usually interact with these people, and they don't care. Maybe it's just bystanders! I think most of them are with King Wu."  Someone closer.¡±

    Zhu Cixuan sneered in his heart. The fourth brother was probably too smart to be confused for a moment. If he did this at this time, wouldn't he be adding fuel to the fire?  Father, what will you do?
