Chapter 558 The General Was Rescued (33)
Afterwards, the emperor solemnly summoned several high-ranking and important ministers to the palace for an audience.
After everyone gathered together, the emperor announced the detailed investigation results one by one.
After careful consideration and heated discussion, these ministers finally managed to "piece together" the intricate ins and outs of the entire incident.
There has been a long-standing grudge between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and they harbor resentment against each other.
Moreover, both sides secretly planted spies in the other camp so as to keep track of each other's every move at any time.
The cause of this disturbance was the Second Prince, who attempted to make a fortune by taking advantage of the opportunity when the Fourth Prince was in charge of repairing the river.
However, despite all the planning, the conspiracy was unfortunately discovered by the prince.
In order to prevent the Second Prince from achieving his goal, the Crown Prince collected solid evidence of the Second Prince's private hoarding of land, and through roundabout means, he quietly passed these key physical evidence to the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince was still young and full of vigor. He was furious when he learned about this.
So, he could not suppress his inner indignation, and immediately decided to meet with the second prince together with the third prince to confront him face to face and ask for an explanation.
Unexpectedly, on the appointed day, the person who came to the meeting was not the second prince himself, but a group of well-trained and secretive assassins!
This group of assassins was obviously instigated by the second prince, and their purpose was self-evident - to assassinate the two princes to eliminate future troubles.
In the end, this sudden attack resulted in a tragedy: the Fourth Prince was killed on the spot, and the Third Prince was seriously injured.
The second prince thought that his plan was flawless and could be concealed from the world.
Little did they know that there is always a loophole in a perfect precaution. When the assassins fled the scene in a hurry, they actually "left" the important list recording the information of all relevant personnel at the spot.
This list later fell into the hands of the Dali Temple. The experienced officials followed the clues and unraveled the case, and soon found out the "truth" behind the whole incident.
When the second prince heard that the truth had been revealed, he was terrified and worried all day long.
At this time, the greedy advisers around him took the opportunity to fan the flames, instigating him to take risks and launch a coup d'état at night in order to survive.
At the same time, the prince, who had been closely following the development of the situation, also learned of this shocking news.
At the critical moment, the prince acted decisively, quickly mobilized his trusted troops, and personally led the army to guard the palace gate.
During the battle between the two armies, the eldest son of the Huo family, Huo Hong, died. When the prince saw his best friend's death, he was so enraged that he wanted to avenge his friend personally.
However, he died before he could accomplish his mission. Before he could kill a few enemies, he suffered a cardiac arrest due to emotional excitement.
The second prince thought he had won the battle, so not only did he not surrender, but his resistance became even more fierce.
In the end, it was the emperor who led the remaining imperial guards to defeat the second prince's troops.
The situation was hopeless, and the second prince finally committed suicide to apologize.
This is the version that Huo Yuan told Xue Asi, and it is also what was written into history.
"What do these things have to do with your fiancée's early death!" Xue Asi asked knowingly, tilting his head.
Huo Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, "In fact, the prince was also at fault in this matter, but in order to preserve his reputation, the emperor concealed it for him. My fiancée's sister is the crown princess, and their family was also implicated in the end.
After her family fell into decline, her family members died one after another, and she died of depression. "
At this point, Huo Lin, who had been standing by, actually added, "My master is deeply in love with Miss Luo. Over the past few years, he has not only not married or had children, but no woman has been able to get close to him."
It was as if Huo Yuan was some perfect man.
"Then keep going!" Xue Asi yawned and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'll go back to the cabin to catch up on some sleep."
Immediately afterwards, Xue Asi returned to his room with a tired look on his face.
"This guy is so shameless!" Luo Yue couldn't help but curse after hearing Huo Yuan's version.
Xue Asi didn't say anything. She just lay on the bed to rest. Perhaps she was really hungry as she said. She fell into a deep sleep soon.
In her dream, she saw everything that really happened after the prince's death.
The third prince was not immediately granted the title of crown prince, but he, who had originally been a free and easy-going man, began to meddle in state affairs.
After completing several good tasks, the talent of the third prince Chen Jiyao began to spread inside and outside the court.
But this person is completely different from the prince. He will not take credit for himself. He will put all the credit on his father.
If you do well, it means your father taught you well; if you do not do well, it means you are not capable enough.
If this is the case, then Chen Jiyao's power is only in the previous dynasty!
At this time, the Queen had moved to the palace, and the Imperial Concubine, who was my father's cousin, took a woman into the palace and raised her by her side. The intention was very obvious. Since she could not give birth herself, she found someone who was related to her by blood to give birth for her.
But the people who know the emperor best in this world are those around him.
During a festival, the third prince invited his father to go out of the palace for fun, so that he could have fun with the people.
It was in an ordinary restaurant that my father saw a woman who looked exactly like his "white moonlight".
