Chapter 130: Hard to beat four punches

At this time, Xie Zhan was in a state of panic.

Not long ago, the rumor that "Xie Zhan was the mastermind who plotted to kill the prince" also reached the ears of the Xie family. When Xie Zhan heard it, he had a bad feeling.

He didn't care about anything at the moment, and immediately ordered people to put out the rumor. He even ordered that if necessary, he would not hesitate to send the Dali Temple to extinguish this rumor! It must not be allowed to form a climate.

At the same time, he also asked people to spread several rumors to try to distract people's attention.

Xie Zhan's actions were quick and his response was timely.

But the second and third princes were not vegetarians, and they were not slow to act. You want to put out the rumor? Then I will add fuel to the fire!

In the battle between several parties, the rumor became more and more intense.

As the first to take action, those who were raised by Lu Desheng quietly withdrew and gave them this big stage.

So the rumors about Xie Zhan were known to everyone who should know.

The officials who have elders who were ordered to be buried with the emperor, and the officials who are now holding the funeral: ... vomiting blood in anger! So that's it!

Rumor has it that the reason why Emperor Sejong took so many people away before his death was to find the mastermind who had plotted to kill the prince. Then the murderer was hiding too deep, and Emperor Sejong couldn't find him, so he could only take away all the people he thought were suspicious.

In other words, their father|grandfather was injured by mistake!

"Dad|grandfather, you died so unjustly!" The filial sons and grandsons cried bitterly.

"In the end, it's all Xie Zhan's fault for plotting to kill the prince!"

"Wait, he plotted! Who did he plot to? The fourth prince?"

"It seems so, the rumor says that the fourth prince has the opportunity to become the new emperor, and he is the first to make a contribution."

"This is a rumor and a false accusation, not true!" The Xie family shouted.

"In fact, whether this rumor is true or not depends on whether the fourth prince uses Xie Zhan after ascending the throne. If he does, then the rumor is true!"

"Makes sense."

In fact, some families know the reason why their elders were sentenced to death, but it does not prevent them from venting their anger!

If it were not for Xie Zhan, perhaps Emperor Kangcheng would not be so angry that he would let so many people be buried with him! Maybe their elders could escape? Then when the fourth prince ascends the throne, their family can still have the merit of following the dragon.

No, I can't calculate it anymore. This account is really a big loss. My heart hurts!

It's all Xie Zhan's fault! Evil spirit!

People are like this. Those who can embarrass others usually don't want to embarrass themselves. No matter how wrong they are, it's all someone else's fault!

The rumors spread by Xie Zhan cannot be said to be useless. Some of them are secrets in the boudoir, and they still divert some attention.

In addition, there is another rumor mixed in, saying that the death of the prince was caused by Qin Yue of the Qin family colluding with the Qiang and Hu people. This rumor actually existed before, but once the rumor about Xie Zhan came out, the original rumor about the Qin family was brought up again.

But now, no one believes that the prince was killed by Qin Yue of the Qin family in collusion with the Qiang and Hu people.

They think they are fools, right? Who would believe such a rumor? What is the purpose of the Qin family doing this? Killing the prince just to send their whole family to jail?

If it is as the imperial edict of confiscation and exile says, it was General Qin who neglected it, they believe it, but they don’t believe that the Qin family colluded with the Qiang and Hu people!

Facing the rumors outside, Xie Zhan looked solemn. He thought of a way quickly. There must be a way. He must solve these rumors about him as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

This rumor is really vicious. It directly opposes his relationship with the new emperor.

When the fourth prince officially ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor, if he reuses him, it proves that the new emperor has a direct relationship with the death of the prince.

The process of the new emperor's ascension to the throne was not smooth and not fair enough. Would he allow himself to have this stain? Would he be willing to let himself be criticized because of a minister?

A deep sense of crisis hit Xie Zhan's heart. In addition to the Fourth Prince, he also had to guard against the Fourth Prince's original team members.

What Xie Zhan was worried about was indeed happening.

Although a group of the team members of the Fourth Prince's residence were killed by Emperor Kang Cheng, there were still many left. These people had invested in the Fourth Prince successfully, and they had some merits on them, waiting for rewards.

For these people, hearing this rumor, they figured out something in their hearts.

You, Xie Zhan, got on the boat later, and stepped on Xue Huaimin's head to get to the top. You are powerful, and the Fourth Prince also values ​​you. We can't do anything to you.

But now, the rumor has given you a fatal weakness, so don't blame us for taking action.

Regardless of whether the rumor is true or false, these people tacitly work together. Because if he is knocked down, more power areas will be vacated. Otherwise, as the number one hero, he will eat up a lot of power and benefits.

After trying various methods, Xie Zhan felt powerless as more and more news came back. There were too many people attacking him, and he couldn't fight four punches with both hands.

He had already found out that the source of the initial rumor was the Lu family.

In fact, before the news was confirmed, he had already guessed that this familiar method of manipulating public opinion and the fierceness of the heavy punch after planning made him know that the one who attacked him was not someone else, but Lu Songli.

Lu Songli's move was not particularly powerful, but it happened to be very accurate at this time, and the effect it brought was also very good.

Xie Zhan sighed lightly, Lu Songli, Lu Songli, you are as ruthless as ever. He just wanted the Lu family to produce the will, but Lu Songli wanted him to get nothing in this game and have troubles.

Looking at the current situation, his previous plans are probably all in vain. He has to lie dormant, and it is possible that he will have to lie dormant for a few years.

Xie Zhan was right, all this was designed by Lu Songli.

Emperor Kang Cheng swallowed his anger and took the blame for the fourth prince, but it was impossible for Xie Zhan to make a fortune in silence. Between him and the fourth prince, there are two lives, the crown prince and Xue Huaimin. As long as she uses this as a breakthrough and tears a hole from it, the wind will continue to pour in. The relationship between the two will also be in jeopardy.

And what Xie Zhan is experiencing is backlash. You can pick Xue Huaimin's fruits, why can't others pick your fruits?

If Xie Zhan's previous act of picking Xue Huaimin's fruit was like picking chestnuts from the fire, then this move was made into a self-inflicted disaster by Lv Songli after he was seen through.

At this time, Xie Zhan didn't know that Lv Songli was giving him the final blow and sending their Xie family on the road.

If Xie Zhan knew, he would not only have a headache and powerlessness, but also fear, the fear of the collapse of the building. Then he would not think about seeking power, but how to protect himself.

Dali Temple Yamen, Reception Room

The fourth prince Song Mo and Lv Songli sat opposite each other.

Just now, his people stopped the three brothers of the Qin family. At present, there was only Lv Songli, a weak woman, in the reception room, so Song Mo was relatively relaxed.

He had just witnessed the martial arts value of the three brothers of the Qin family. Qin Heng and Qin Zhao were fine, but Qin Sheng was really powerful. How could he let such a person get close to him?

A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. His eldest brother, the prince, had a precedent. He could not make such a mistake.

After they sat down, neither of them spoke.

Lu Songli thought that the Fourth Prince came so early. She had originally estimated that he would talk to her within three days. Unexpectedly, he came on the first day. It seems that he really cares about whether his ascension to the throne is legitimate.

Song Mo carefully looked at the woman opposite. She was wearing a young woman's hair and her eyes were clear and fearless. The changes that happened in the past two days and the prison disaster did not make her fearful and depressed, which was a bit rare.

Xue Huaimin had suggested before that he should take her in after ascending the throne and then pamper her. He said that she was smart, had means, and could manage the harem well.

In fact, Xue Huaimin's suggestion was sincerely considered for the Fourth Prince. His mother's family was not strong, and it was necessary to have a capable concubine to manage the harem for him.

The Fourth Prince said he would consider it at the time.

But in fact, he didn't like such scheming women. He liked pure and kind women like lotus. Besides, she couldn't have children, which was even more unacceptable to him.

Although her face was indeed good-looking and her figure was okay, after he ascended the throne, he was rich and had all kinds of beauties. Why did he need to marry a minister's newlywed wife?

In fact, Xue Huaimin had one more thing to say, which was, Your Highness, if you don't plan to marry her, you have to kill her. But he never had the chance to say it.

At this time, Yao Wensong came in and served them tea in person.

After serving tea, Yao Wensong stood aside silently.

But the fourth prince waved his hand and motioned him to go out.

When Genzhu's idea failed, Yao Wensong retreated silently.
