"Someone is coming!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"The young master has been carried back!"
The Duke of Cao's mansion was filled with gloom and gloom.
The old housekeeper Li Quan looked at the bruised Li Hongbi and felt so distressed that he almost shed tears.
Even if Li Jinglong was beaten to death, he didn't care at all. After all, this animal was a disgrace to his family.
But Li Hongbi is different. He is the backbone of Cao Guogong's mansion and his eldest grandson!
After taking out some money and sending away the Jinyi Guards, Li Quan looked at Li Hongbi and was about to ask.
Li Hongbi waved his hand, unwilling to say more.
"Send me to Brother Sheng quickly!"
Soon, the father and son came together, lying on the bed and screaming.
Sheng Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was busy applying medicine with his father and son.
This father and son are really weird!
Prostitute father and son soldiers!
Tingzhang father and son soldiers!
"Son, what's going on?"
"Why is this happening to you too?"
Li Jinglong found it difficult to understand.
This son of his can be said to have endless plans and clever plans.
After carrying a gift to the palace to see the Queen, how could he still be carried back with twenty imperial staffs?
Is it possible that the Queen doesn't like others giving her gifts?
Li Hongbi sighed helplessly, with a look of despair on his face.
"Dad, this time I really let an eagle peck my eyes and put the boat in the gutter."
"How did I know that the Dog Emperor was also in Kunning Palace!"
The originally good plan had two variables.
One is that the Dog Emperor appears in Kunning Palace!
The second is that Huang Yan, that dead eunuch, left behind secret letters between him and Zhu Gaosui!
"According to my original plan, I was to deal with Zhu Gaosui's lackey, the dead eunuch named Huang Yan!"
"But who would have thought that the Dog Emperor happened to be in Kunning Palace, but Huang Yan left evidence of his crime, which directly exposed Tiandu!"
Li Jinglong: "???"
Damn it?
Doesn’t that offend people to death?
Are you going to solve the problem or add fuel to the fire?
Li Jinglong's face instantly turned pale.
Although he was unimpressive, he came from a noble family after all, and his knowledge was far beyond that of ordinary officials.
So he knew very well what it meant for the prince to collude with the chamberlain and leave conclusive evidence of the crime!
"My son, how did you know that Huang Yan is the third prince's lackey?"
"I just heard some rumors, so I wanted to test it out."
Li Hongbi couldn't explain it, so he gave a random reason.
"Most of the eunuchs and eunuchs are psychopaths."
"Because they are discriminated against and despised by others, everyone has a dark heart."
"Furthermore, they have all been castrated and have no ability to engage in fornication and pleasure, so most of the eunuchs and eunuchs are greedy for money."
Li Hongbi sighed, "I originally planned to have the Queen punish Huang Yan. As long as we find his gold, silver and jewelry obtained through corruption, the plan will be considered a success."
"But I didn't expect that Huang Yan, a dead eunuch, secretly left secret letters between him and Zhu Gaosui!"
"The Dog Emperor became furious after seeing this and beat Huang Yan to death on the spot. The Queen also fainted from anger. The imperial doctors are trying to rescue him!"
After hearing this, Li Jinglong felt numb all over.
I, Li Hongbi, have every plan, but why do things always go wrong in my plan?
"Son, you don't understand those eunuchs and eunuchs!"
"The reason why Huang Yan left these secret messages was to leave a way out for himself, so as not to be regarded as an outcast by Zhu Gaosui in the future!"
"Moreover, with these secret messages in hand, Huang Yan can also blackmail Zhu Gaosui and demand more gold, silver and jewelry!"
Li Jinglong used to go in and out of the palace every day, so he didn't understand the little thoughts of those eunuchs and eunuchs.
They are just a bunch of bullies who are afraid of the strong. Once they gain power, they want to raise their tails to the sky!
When Li Hongbi heard this, he finally understood.
It's just that it's too late to say anything now.
Even if Zhu Gaosui doesn't die this time, he will still have his skin peeled off!
But after all, he is the Dog Emperor's favorite youngest son, and he really won't die if he dies.
Then, the father and son will suffer crazy revenge from this guy!
This time, Li Hongbi offended Zhu Gaosui to death!
Li Jinglong was a little confused.
"My son, what should we do next?"
"Wait to die!" Li Hongbi said with a bitter smile, "What else can we do?"
"Offending Zhu Gaosui is not the most serious thing."
"Because of today's messy incident, we may be involved in a battle for the right to inherit the throne. You can imagine what the outcome will be!"
The battle for the right to inherit the throne!
Hearing these four words, Li Jinglong was so frightened that he almost jumped up!
Even Sheng Yin had a solemn look on his face, and his face gradually turned a little pale!
To seize the direct descendants is to compete for the crown prince position and the future throne!
In the Ming Dynasty, is there a fight for the right to inherit the throne?
Of course!
And it’s very intense!
Otherwise, the emperor would have summoned the eldest prince and the second prince to the capital long ago!
Now the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi is stationed in Peiping, and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu is leading troops in Kaiping to guard the border!
It seems reasonable, but in fact it is undercurrent.
According to common sense and convention, if King Zhu Di of Yan ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, then the Crown Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, will automatically be promoted to the prince of the current dynasty, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui will also be canonized as vassal kings and go to their fiefdoms to become vassals!
However, after King Zhu Di of Yan invaded the imperial capital of Jinling and proclaimed himself emperor, he had no intention of appointing Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince!
More than half of the first year of Yongle has passed by now, and it will soon be the second year of Yongle!
There is still no explanation for these three princes. Their positions are uncertain and people's thoughts are changing!
Li Hongbi thought for a long time and finally spoke.
"Dad, are the courtiers in the court fighting fiercely?"
"It must have been intense! We were scolding each other every day, and I almost beat my brains out!"
Li Jinglong said with a pale face and a bitter smile.
"The emperor has been slow to let the eldest prince enter the capital, and has also been slow to canonize the second prince and the third prince. Everyone in the court can see that the rumors are not groundless. His Majesty is dissatisfied with the eldest prince and seems to intend to establish another prince!"
"Among them, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu has the loudest voice. After all, in the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Gaoxu was brave and good at fighting and made great achievements. He also won the support of a large number of Jingnan generals, especially Qi Guogong Qiu Fu, who asked Li Er for many times. The prince is the prince!”
Qi Guogong, Qiu Fu!
The first vanguard of the Yan army in the Battle of Jingnan!
In the Battle of Baigouhe, the Battle of Cangzhou, and the Battle of Lingbi, Qiu Fu has always been the vanguard general of the Yan army!
It is precisely because of this that Qiu Fu has experienced hundreds of battles and served as a vanguard many times. He ranked first among the Jingnan heroes designated by the Dog Emperor. Whenever he was ordered to discuss politics, he was also ranked first, the same position as Li Jinglong now.
However, Li Jinglong is the mascot placed there by the Dog Emperor, but Qiu Fu is the out-and-out number one military commander!
Qiu Fu publicly expressed his support for the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, and the other Jingnan generals would not sit idly by. It is no wonder that the Dog Emperor has been hesitant.
This battle for the right to inherit the throne is really dangerous.
"We still have to worry about this matter, let's just recuperate first!"
Li Hongbi sighed and reassured, thoughts flashing through his mind.
However, Sheng Yin suddenly spoke and asked slightly awkwardly: "Brother Xian, are we going to Qinhuai, Shili, tonight?"
Li Hongbi: "???"
go?
Go to hell!
My butt has been spread open!
Li Hongbi was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something.
"Go, go now!"
"Contact Miss Dieyi immediately and ask her to send the patient over!"
"It's best to be a female patient with difficult and complicated diseases!"
I almost forgot, we still have Sheng Yin as our trump card!
