Young Master Wang was poisoned to death by someone from the Song family. The evidence is conclusive. Even if General Song blames everything on his subordinates, he still cannot escape the crime of being lax in his duties and bullying others with his power.

Despite the efforts of King Qing and King Yu, General Song was demoted three levels in a row and lost the right to command troops.

The three generals promoted by the late emperor, General Song and General Xiong, all fell, leaving General Fang who was stationed in northern Xinjiang.

General Fang, who seems to be upright, is actually very slippery. He can hide in northern Xinjiang for several years without returning to Beijing. It is conceivable that he does not want to participate in the power struggle in Beijing.

Seeing the livid faces of Prince Qing and Prince Yu, Crown Prince De said to Prince Jin happily: "Cousin Yu, let's go have a drink."

"I won't go." King Jin refused.

"I know you won't go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, so we won't go to drink flower wine, we will just drink and have fun." Prince De Wang winked.

"Don't get carried away. You must know that a centipede will never freeze even if it dies." King Jin said solemnly.

"No matter how stiff you are, it won't be a big deal if you have a drink." Crown Prince De forced Prince Jin to have a drink, "Go, go, go."

King Jin, based on his understanding of King Qing, King Yu, and the Song general, felt that they would not just let this matter go. As expected, King Qing's revenge came quickly and brutally.

Five days later, in the evening, with a steady autumn rain, a carriage drove quickly toward the city gate on the official road into the city.

On the carriage, the driver wiped the rain off his face, turned around and rushed into the carriage: "Your Majesty, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Can you find a place to take shelter?"

Prince De, who was sitting in the car, opened the curtain and looked outside, "He rushed to the pavilion in front to take shelter."

"Okay." The driver shook the reins and urged the horse to move faster.

But before they reached the pavilion, the carriage suddenly stopped. The sound of rain was mixed with the sound of swords clashing. King De opened the door and looked outside, and was shocked.

The coachman had fallen into a pool of blood, and the guards were fighting with a dozen masked men in black.

A ray of silver light struck, and King De retreated, but the car was only so wide, so he could retreat as far as he could.

The pain in his throat made him open his mouth to shout for help, but his vision went dark.

"Boom" he fell, and blood spread under him instantly.

The man who killed King De made a point of confirming that King De was really dead before he got out of the carriage and said, "No one will be left alive."

The man in black drew his sword faster and harder, and soon all the guards fell to the ground.

After confirming that no one was alive, the man who killed King De ordered: "Withdraw."

In an instant, the man in black disappeared into the night.

The rain is still falling, and the rain will wash away the corpses on the ground, and blood will flow into rivers.

The rain didn't stop until midnight, and the heavy rain washed away all traces.

Although King De had said when he went out in the morning that he would not stay out overnight and would rush back, the rain was so heavy that Princess De thought he had changed his mind temporarily and didn't think much about it.

It's just that Princess De has been feeling upset and restless.

One night passed, and the next day the rain passed and the sky cleared up. People who got up early and were on their way were frightened when they saw the corpses scattered on the road, "It's dead, it's dead!"

The case was reported to Jingzhao Mansion. The Yin of Jingzhao Mansion came over with his yamen to take a look and almost fell over.

The news that King De was assassinated less than ten miles away from the city spread throughout the provinces.

"Are you sure it's King De?" Jiang Changning asked in surprise.

"I heard that white flags have been hung up in Prince De's palace," Xiao Chun replied.

Jiang Changning let out a long sigh, never expecting that King De would disappear like this, "Help me change into plain clothes."

As soon as she changed into her plain clothes, Prince Jin came back with a heavy face, "Your Majesty, please change your clothes."

She has a good relationship with Prince De's Mansion, so the concubine led the way to offer condolences to Prince De's Mansion, and even Princess Kangren also went along with her.

When we arrived outside the palace of Prince De, the cries of mourning were loud, but Princess De was not seen in the mourning hall.

The imperial concubine explained sadly: "Since the mother-in-law learned that her father was killed, she has not eaten, she has been crying, and she just fainted in the mourning hall."

"Uncle King De has passed away suddenly. It's hard for Aunt Wang to accept it. Please give me more advice." Jiang Changning said in a low and authentic voice.

"Who would have thought that such a tragedy would happen." The Crown Princess has not yet given birth, but now she has to step in to support her.

"You should also pay attention to your body and don't work too hard." Jiang Changning said.

The Crown Princess nodded, "I'm fine, I can still hold on."

On the other side, Crown Prince De said to King Jin with red eyes: "Cousin Yu, it was them. They must have sent people to kill my father."

"This matter will not just be let go like this. I have sent people to investigate. Only by catching the murderer of Uncle De Wang can we comfort Uncle De Wang's spirit in heaven."

"Cousin Yu, thank you."

"What's there to thank you for?" King Jin frowned.

King De was his most loyal and staunchest ally. Losing King De would be a huge loss.

Prince Deok's son was far inferior to his father in terms of qualifications, ability, and prestige.

This move by King Qing and King Yu really caught King Jin off guard.

"Cousin Yu, just tell me what you need me to do." Crown Prince De's eyes were full of hatred. He had a mortal hatred for killing his father and he would not let the culprit go.

"Now you just need to stay in the mourning hall and send Uncle Dewang to the funeral. I will arrange for other things to be done."

"Understood, I listen to cousin Yu."

The assassination of King De caused an uproar in Beijing. Officials, big and small, even dared to kill the emperor's relatives. Their heads were in danger and they were in danger.

In the early morning, the King of Jin went to court and asked the young emperor to issue an edict that the whole city be under martial law and thoroughly investigated.

King Qing disagreed, "The murderer committed the murder outside the city and must have escaped long ago. There is no need to impose martial law in the city."

"Although King De was killed outside the city, the murderer was definitely involved with some people in the city, otherwise he would not have known about King De's departure from the city." King Jin's words had something to say.

"Your Majesty, the murderer dared to assassinate King De, which shows his cruelty. If the entire city is not under strict martial law and a thorough investigation is carried out, what should we do if something happens to the emperor's relatives again?" King Changshan came out to support King Jin.

King Qing stared at King Changshan, and he was a little surprised. He did not expect that King Changshan, who always liked to pretend to be deaf and dumb, would jump out and help him when King De died.

There is only one life, even those from King Qing's faction are afraid of death, so they support the city's martial law and thorough investigation.

The King of Jin also considered the seriousness of the case and recommended Prince Changshan and Marquis Xinwu to work with the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion to handle the case.

King Qing saw that a thorough investigation under martial law was unavoidable, so he recommended the prince of Jiujiang, the prince of Longxi, and the minister of Dali Temple to jointly handle the case.

After retiring from the court, King Qing said to King Yu in annoyance: "I should have thought that that guy from Changshan, Marquis Xinwu and King Jin were in the same group."

Princess Changshan was confined to the countryside due to foot illness and rarely walked out. However, the Crown Princess Changshan was very close to Princess Jin and others.

"Do you want to kill King Changshan too?" King Yu made a gesture of cutting his throat.

"We have just eliminated King De, and the other people's guards will inevitably be strengthened. It is not appropriate to take action at this time." King Qing said solemnly.

"Okay, then let those people hide it. I don't believe He Lianyu's people can find it."

My son had an early vacation from college. When he came back, he was worried about what to cook again.

I've only been in school for three months and I really don't know what to complain about.
