Chapter 1134 Missing
Before this incident happened, the second prince had received news that Prince Xiao and the abbot Xiao secretly met with many civil servants and military officials. The second prince did not know what they said specifically, but he could vaguely guess some of the Xiao family officials. plan.
And just three days before the fight between the eldest young master of the Jiang family and Xiao Wei, Xiao Guozhang secretly went to the Jiang family.
The second prince didn't know what the conversation was about, but according to the secret guards sent by Chu Xuanyu to monitor Xiao Guozhang, when Xiao Guozhang came out of Jiang's house, his features were all smiling.
That's when it's done.
Jiang Daoren went behind the back of the second prince and privately talked to Zhang Guozhang about supporting the fifth prince after the emperor passed away. This was simply treason.
Moreover, Jiang Daoren agreed.
The emperor is just sick, not dead yet. The Xiao family members are eager to push the fifth prince onto the chair. How can this not make the second prince angry?
What made the second prince even more angry was that Jiang Daoren agreed, which made the second prince suspicious of Jiang Daoren.
Immediately, the second prince said to Chu Xuanyu, "Jiang Daoren has been sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice for a long enough time. It's time for someone else to take the position."
Because of this sentence, Chu Xuanyu secretly went to Xinghua Tower after coming out of the palace.
Three days later, there was a fight between the eldest young master of the Jiang family and Xiao Wei.
And among them, how could it be possible that the second prince and Chu Xuanyu’s handiwork was not included?
The two of them were secretly controlling this matter.
The cooperation between Jiang Daoren and Xiao Guozhang collapsed because of the fight between the eldest son of the Jiang family and Xiao Wei. The Xiao family was also angry and wanted the life of the eldest son of the Jiang family.
However, Prince Xiao finally figured it out.
He cannot save the life of the eldest young master of the Jiang family. However, if he can use this matter to completely connect the Jiang family and the Xiao family, then with the support of the Jiang family, the Minister of Punishment, when the emperor dies, How could the fifth prince not sit on that dragon chair?
The life of a grandson who was incompetent in literature, incompetent in military affairs, a playboy and a prodigal, and had no future, was insignificant compared with the matter of putting a nephew who was half of the Xiao family on the throne.
He has several grandsons, Ma, but they are all concubines, but no matter what, the bodies of his concubines are also flowing with his blood, and they are the blood of the Xiao family.
As long as a capable person is named in his daughter-in-law's name, he will be the legitimate son and inherit the Xiao family's property and title.
Therefore, although the death of his direct grandson Xiao Wei is a pity, as long as it can bring certain benefits to the Xiao family, Prince Xiao will not feel regretful.
Old Prince Xiao cleverly used Xiao Wei's death to completely tie the Jiang family to his boat.
After guessing Prince Xiao's plan, the second prince's first reaction was to get Jiang Daoren off as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Jiang Daoren did not agree to marry his granddaughter to Xiao Guozhang, under the pressure of Prince Xiao, I'm afraid that he will sacrifice his granddaughter in order to save his grandson.
When the time comes, the marriage between the two families is successful, and if he wants to seduce Jiang Daoren again, he is afraid that he will be blocked by Prince Xiao.
Although he could seduce Jiang Daoren with the obstacle of Old Prince Xiao, it would still be much more troublesome than it is now.
And what the current Second Prince hates most is trouble.
So, he ordered Chu Xuanyu, "Xuanyu, find out everything about Jiang Daoren over the years. Within two days, I will ask him to get down from the chair of the Minister of Justice." "I'm afraid it won't take more than two days. Day, he will come to beg you, "Chu Xuanyu said.
"Then he must be able to enter the palace gate." After knowing that Jiang Daoren betrayed him, he made the next step to abandon him.
A person who secretly joined forces with the Xiao family behind his back and wanted to ask him to help him, huh... What made him even more angry was that the Xiao family wanted to support the fifth prince to ascend to power, and behind the support of the fifth prince to ascend to the throne was hope. The emperor dies early. Jiang Daoren is colluding with the Xiao family. Doesn’t the meaning behind this also hope that the emperor dies early?
This is what makes him the most angry.
Jiang Daoren is unforgivable.
After Chu Xuanyu left the palace, he sent out the Chu family's secret guards and two confidants. One group went to monitor Wang Hai, and the other group went to investigate Jiang Daoren.
However, two days later, Jiang Daoren hurried into the palace to see the second prince on the second day.
However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he was stopped by the guards.
"Jiang Shangshu, the second prince has an order. He is busy with official duties and has not seen anyone. Please ask Jiang Shangshu to go back."
Jiang Shangshu was stunned and stunned, "Why didn't the second prince see me?" Jiang Shangshu didn't expect that the second prince would turn him away from the palace. "I have important matters to discuss with the second prince. Please excuse me." Go and report it.”
"Jiang Shangshu, the second prince said that if something happens, please submit a memorial and the second prince will handle it. If it is urgent, just mark the word urgent in the lower right corner of the memorial and the second prince will take the lead in handling it for you."
The palace guards blocked the palace entrance with expressionless faces and refused to get out of the way. Jiang Shangshu was so anxious that he almost went to the house to unveil the tiles, but he couldn't enter the palace.
He walked back and forth at the gate of the palace, the sweat on his forehead was wiping off again and again. Finally, he had no choice but to put aside his old face, took out a ten taels of silver from his arms, and insisted on handing it to the guard, "Just please Inform the Second Prince for me and tell him that I have something urgent to see him.”
The guard took the money, weighed it in his hands, kicked it into his arms, said, "Wait a minute," and went in to report to the Second Prince.
After a stick of incense, the guard came back and said, "The second prince said that he was busy with official duties and would not see anyone. If Jiang Shangshu was in an emergency, he would go home and write a memorial and ask the subordinates to submit it. The second prince also I’d like to approve it soon.”
How can we talk about that kind of thing in a memorial?
What's more, it was a private matter of his Jiang family and not a national matter. How could it be included in the memorial?
Jiang Shangshu's old face was wrinkled and looked very ugly.
If he hadn't seen that the Second Prince was deliberately hiding from him, then he would have spent several years in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice in vain.
Jiang Shangshu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fortunately," and hurriedly got into the carriage in despair.
After returning home, Jiang Shangshu didn't wait for Uncle Jiang who came to greet him to speak first, and said to him with a dark face, "The second prince may have already known about this matter, otherwise, he wouldn't want to see me."
"Dad didn't see the Second Prince?" Uncle Jiang was surprised, "How could it be possible? Our Jiang family is also a member of the Second Prince, so why didn't he see Dad?"
"You also said that it was all you idiot." Jiang Shangshu glared at Uncle Jiang angrily, "The second prince must have known about your meeting with Xiao Guozhang, otherwise, the second prince would not have left the Jiang family alone, nor would he I won’t let the Xiao family mess around.”
