Chapter 75： old case

Prince Li Mingze never thought that his proud and unjustified identity was actually a sharp sword hanging over his head.

He couldn't believe his mother would say such a thing!

The prince's legs trembled slightly. He held the table and shook his lips and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Did you say such a thing because you were threatened? Do you know that this can completely drag me to hell? "

The queen covered her face: "Son, I don't want to tell you, but now, paper can't hold fire." She has been under tremendous pressure recently, with rumors on the one hand, and the truth on the other.

The prince swept all the tea utensils on the table to the ground like crazy, and roared: "What paper can't cover the fire, since it has been hidden for so many years, why not keep it hidden? If you don't tell your grandfather, who will know!"

The queen was taken aback by such a big movement: "Prince, what are you doing?"

Prime Minister Yan patted the queen: "Let him vent, it should be, who knows that this kind of thing will happen..."

The queen loves the prince. Although he has concealed his background for many years, he is her own son after all, and she still loves him in the end.

The prince sneered, staring at the queen and Prime Minister Yan: "Why do you tell me now! Can't wait for me to get that position?"

The queen began to wipe her tears, turned her face away, and Prime Minister Yan said for her: "Prince, because I won't tell you about this again, I'm afraid something will happen."

"Why? What could have happened!" He was already a prince, so he felt that his father might have never cared about this and believed in his identity, but he didn't doubt his own background, other brothers more or less inherited it. When it comes to his father's appearance, height, and personality, as for him, in terms of appearance, height, physique, and personality, everything is different. The more he is like this, the more flustered he becomes, and he finally starts to learn the way of speaking of Emperor Tiansheng. , the way of doing things, but someone told him that he was not a prince, he had nothing to do with the royal family, and he was not of royal blood.

This is like a joke!

He is a dignified prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, but he is not of royal blood!

It's really a big joke. It's actually the child of his mother who has fornicated with others. No, it should be a secret marriage with a human bead before marriage. For the power of the Yan family, he actually confuses the royal blood.

Why tell him this terrible secret today!

Prime Minister Yan said bluntly: "Because your biological father disappeared a month ago."

Prince: "My biological father? Why is he still alive in this world!"

Prime Minister Yan was very surprised by his answer: "When your mother married His Majesty, we didn't know that she was pregnant with you. We only found out about it shortly after entering the Prince's Mansion."

The prince roared: "Then why don't you kill me! Can't you pay for an abortion pill?"

Prime Minister Yan: "Prince, it was too late at that time. We thought that since Your Majesty didn't find out, it's better to leave it like this. We hurt you. I'm sorry, Prince."

The prince pointed to himself and questioned them: "Me? Prince? When you tell me the truth, can I still be my prince? Continue to covet things that don't belong to me?"

Yan Chengxiang said earnestly: "No, Prince, this is why we tell you the truth, you have no way to retreat, either move forward or die. If your biological father is seen by His Majesty, you must know that you are not his own flesh and blood. If your crown prince is not guaranteed, the Yan family will also be implicated in the Nine Clan, and your mother can only get a white silk or a glass of poisoned wine. Prince, we have no choice. "

Prince: "You have no choice or I have no choice?"

Prime Minister Yan: "It's us, we have no chance to turn back now."

The prince sat slumped on the chair and slammed the table hard: "I want to continue to be this prince?"

Prime Minister Yan told him: "Prince, it's the same sentence, we don't have a choice, our Yan family has no choice, if we lose the position of the prince, whether it is the third prince or the fourth prince ascending the throne, we will not have the status of our Yan family. What's more, your life experience may have been exposed."

The prince suddenly said ruthlessly: "Then why don't you solve that person, or there will be no such thing!"

When Prime Minister Yan heard this, he felt a little chill in his heart, is this child going to kill his own father? Are you afraid of the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom taught over the years?

Prime Minister Yan asked him, "Do you want to kill your biological father?"

The prince sneered and said, "Grandfather, you want me to take the throne as a non-royal family and keep my father. Isn't that just leaving the handle to someone else? Did your grandfather mean to change the surname of the Li family to Yan?"

It seems that his maternal grandfather did not kill his biological father because of kindness, but because he had the confidence that even if his biological father was exposed, Emperor Tiansheng would not help him. Compared with the previous Lin family, they are more low-key, but also more arrogant, but they want far more than they have seen.

The crown prince was disheartened, the Yan family really regarded him as a **** to seize power, how could he have thought about his thoughts, and now telling him the truth, they just didn’t want him to do things that would harm the Yan family, they were not afraid at all His identity was discovered by Emperor Tiansheng!

It's crazy!

He thought that the behavior of the Lin family was called madness and rebellion, and the Yan family was the most terrifying. They not only wanted to rebel, but they also took action early, perhaps from the moment he was born, or from his grandfather just learning about it. The mother had conceived him, perhaps earlier.

It's probably not because the Yan family didn't have a choice, but because he, the fake prince, didn't have a choice. He actually did something similar to the Yan family's stupid things before. It's really funny to think about it now. .

When Yan Cheng met the prince, his expression was erratic, and he knew that he was struggling, making a decision that would only benefit his future without harm.

This time, it was the queen who spoke, not Prime Minister Yan: "Prince, no matter who you are, this country will be yours in the future."

The crown prince sneered: "Empress mother, are you so sure that the royal father knows nothing about my background?"

The queen changed her sad expression before, and she was as calm as before, and said, "This is an established fact. It doesn't matter whether he knows or doesn't know it." Maybe she knows it. In his fledgling years, he could only endure the humiliation and steal his life. He pretended not to know, and even handed over the position of the crown prince. Does His Majesty really care about it all these years?

Maybe not.

Now the reason that prompted them to come forward is that their Yan family needs to be in one mind with the prince. If the prince also guards the Yan family and thinks about the Li family's country, then it is far from their original intention, so it is better to say it directly.

Whether the prince accepts it or not, he can't do anything.

Don't accept it, stab the matter in front of Emperor Tiansheng? Not too possible.

Accepted, then their Yan family will work together to take this country from the hands of Emperor Tiansheng.

Now, they are betting that Emperor Tiansheng still doesn't know about it. Of course, they have many plans, and it is business to solve them one by one.

The Lin family is gone, and the fourth prince who is now jumping is also the target they are about to get rid of. In their eyes, the fourth prince is just a clown who jumps on the beam.

The Yan family has already figured out how much the prince has father-son affection for Emperor Tiansheng. Because of the relationship between the Yan family, Emperor Tiansheng has never been close to the prince. He knew his life experience less than half an hour before he was arrested by Prime Minister Yan and the queen. Persuade, maybe he just saw the situation of the authorities clearly.

Whether or not the Yan family is in power, he cannot escape the fate of being a puppet. The worst thing is to die. There is really no other way to choose.

The queen and the prince left the Yan family one after the other.

After returning to their respective palaces, they closed their doors and pondered deeply.

The next night was a family dinner for the New Year's Eve.

The crown prince watched Emperor Tiansheng drinking and watching a play with his concubines. The fourth prince said compliments from time to time. A group of people lived happily in their thirties, looking at their father who had been calling for more than twenty years in another way. The emperor, suddenly found him quite pitiful.

Now there is no need to worry about whether to have a grandson or not. In this world, he, the prince, must sit, and he can only sit in the future. He is glad that he belongs to the Yan family, and that he is lucky to have the background of the Yan family. Who is his child? Could it be that Emperor Tiansheng will tell the world that his identity as a prince is fake?

The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that he thought through it. Since he couldn't do anything, he might as well wait for the Yan family to pave the way for him without thinking too much.

The old fourth husband who fought with him? I am afraid that they will soon lose the favor of Emperor Tiansheng. They are in the bright, and the Yan family is in the dark. Sooner or later, they will be out.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the Crown Prince changed his tense expression, toasted Emperor Tiansheng, and was in harmony with the Fourth Prince. He even took care of the other little princes. Emperor Tiansheng noticed his uncharacteristic behavior, Empress Say something more for him, and say that he is very happy for the New Year today.

The prince was happy, but Shengdi couldn't be happy that day.

The prince and the Yan family were officially integrated into one, and the relationship with the Yan family became closer. Everything was done according to the arrangements of Prime Minister Yan. Of course, the prince, who already knew his identity, also began to slack off in all aspects. He is still a descendant of the Li family. At that time, he had an urge to break the shackles of the Yan family, but now, the shackles of the Yan family have already grown into his flesh and bones, and pulling them out will kill him. He was a puppet emperor when he got the Li family. If the Yan family was defeated, he would still be a descendant of the Li family. Emperor Tiansheng would not kill him, but would imprison him.

The prince thought of these two possibilities, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince, who was not in the eyes of him and the Yan family, would make a strange move and swallow up the power of the Yan family little by little.

With the experience of dealing with the Lin family, the fourth prince sent people to investigate the matter of the Yan family early, starting from the Yan family's hometown. The process was very difficult, and the Yan family's reputation was very good. One or two descendants who have more than enough success.

Compared with the Lin family's corruption case, the Yan family's affairs are even bigger.

This also involves a case more than ten years ago, which is also related to Chen Sheng, a former servant of the Ministry of Housing who was forced to resign and return to his hometown.

This Chen Sheng is Luo Shuyu's grandfather.

The case is not simple.

At that time, Chen Sheng was responsible for allocating grain to the north, but for some unknown reason, only 30% of the grain sent to the north was new grain, and 70% of the grain was old grain, and 50% was sand and gravel; , half of which is straw; half of the silver in the afternoon.

There was no food or clothing, which led to the fall of Gucheng. The King of Beizhen almost died in the snow. Later, the army of Lincheng rescued in time and was able to escape. However, Gucheng lost 10,000 elite soldiers, and the people were killed by the ghost Yan clan. Cut, cut, blood flow into rivers!

How miserable.

This incident shocked the entire court. When Emperor Tiansheng was young and vigorous, he immediately ordered a thorough investigation. This investigation led to Chen Sheng, the minister of household affairs.

Although Chen Sheng has always been a clean and honest official, all the records have his autograph and seal. All the people related to this matter were asked to be executed, exiled and exiled. Chen Sheng was not exiled in the end, he just let him resign and return to his hometown. It was also because Zuo Xiang interceded for him. It was normal for the people below to hide it from him. The most important thing was that the Chen family did not find any evidence that he was greedy for food.

But all Daxia knows about this matter. The Chen family has become a sinner, and he can't raise his head wherever he goes. This is why Luo Renshou had an accident in the Chen family. He had no respect for the Chen family, and he ignored Luo Shuyu for many years.

There were a lot of doubts in this case back then, but Emperor Tiansheng was very angry at the time, as long as he found it, he was cut off!

But now, if you want to find out whether the Yan family is related to this matter, if the case from more than ten years ago is turned over again, it will be overturned.

All the people who were found out back then were people who were closely related to the Left Party, and it seemed that Yan Xiang had nothing to do with this matter.

But now one of the Yan family's children discovered that someone used the batch of silver that year, and this use has stabbed the hornet's nest.

Every batch of silver issued to the army from the treasury is numbered and marked. The treasury of Daxia has relevant records. It is very clear which silver was lost at that time, and which number has which silver.

This Yan family child carelessly took Yinzi to the brothel to drink flower wine, and was accidentally seen by the fourth prince. After investigation, it was found that this Yan family child was the grandson of Yan Cheng's brother's family with the same father and mother. After all, he is still the cousin of the Crown Princess.

The case has not been revealed yet, but the Fourth Prince has already secretly investigated and found a lot of useful things.

When the Yan family still knew nothing about the matter, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu had already received the news.

Luo Shuyu never thought that his grandfather's case was tricky.

For some reason, a person flashed in Luo Shuyu's mind - Chen Rong, who was unwilling to go to the fourth prince's door in his previous life.

The author has something to say: Three Princes: Daughter-in-law, take the call!

Luo Shuyu: All right.

Third Prince: I am still the chief executive. I bought a villa by the sea. During my vacation, I met you incarnate. You fell in love with me at first sight and wanted to have a little mermaid with me, so we were at the sea...

Luo Shuyu: Suddenly, I became a mermaid.

Third Prince: Excited, you finally cooperate with me, daughter-in-law, go to the road.

Luo Shuyu: My real body, fish head body, you were frightened by me on the spot, and you will never be a man again.

Third Prince: Let me die!

Luo Shuyu: Don't you want to die?

Third Prince: This time, I'll take the initiative to beg for death! ! !

Luo Shuyu: No.
