Emperor Minghua was still young and had four children, three princes and a princess.

Among them, the princess is the daughter of the queen - even though everyone knows that she is not a real princess, no one wants to expose it because she is just a harmless princess.

The eldest prince, second prince and third prince were all descended from concubines in the harem. Their ages were not much different, they were all sixteen or seventeen years old.

When Emperor Minghua was hiding in his residence, some advisers said that Emperor Minghua had no children, or that he was disliked by the late emperor, and advised him to have children early.

At that time, Emperor Minghua had not yet accepted any concubines, only a concubine sent by the late emperor, and the current Empress Qin.

Queen Qin was still young, and Emperor Minghua couldn't bear her giving birth too early, so he kept holding off.

But Empress Qin saw the situation clearly and forced the then prince to look at her, and appointed concubines and several concubines for him.

Emperor Minghua was also angry. After welcoming people in, he made them pregnant one after another.

Many of them used tricks against Emperor Minghua and were directly killed by Emperor Minghua.

Later, those concubines who gave birth to children were promoted to higher positions due to their merit in giving birth, but Emperor Minghua never got close to them again.

After he ascended the throne, the harem was fully handled by Empress Qin. When the concubines saw that Emperor Minghua showed no affection, they gave up their thoughts and devoted themselves to pleasing Empress Qin.

How sincere it is, only they themselves know.

Because of these things, the emperor and empress had a rift and could not reconcile for a long time.

Emperor Minghua had been sulky for a long time. Empress Qin felt that he was obsessed with the love of his children and was not a wise king, so she treated him coldly.

By the time Emperor Minghua realized that he wanted to get close to Empress Qin, the two had nothing to say. Even if he changed his temper, he couldn't coax her.

So he thought that it was the concubines in the harem and his three princes who delayed their relationship.

And the two twin sons who he thought were dead became a thorn in Empress Qin's heart.

Emperor Minghua didn't love anyone, but what he liked most was Empress Qin. Knowing that Empress Qin valued Qin Huai, a child who had "resurrected from the dead," he was willing to build bridges and pave the way for him.

It can be said that as long as Qin Huai is good enough and has the ability to be the king of a country, he will give up the throne.

In order to leave some time to spend time with his queen.

Therefore, after the third prince rebelled, not only did he not feel sad at all, he even felt like laughing.

The prince who was raised by the concubines in the harem and the family's influence behind him was really unworthy of publicity.

There were so many scholars and scholars in the Imperial College and the study room, but they failed to teach him to be a qualified prince.

"Death is not a pity." When Emperor Minghua learned of the death of the third prince, it was already ten days later. An urgent letter from 800 miles away arrived, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Under the imperial power, even if he did not have the intention to let the princes fight, others did.

This is inevitable.

Empress Qin thought more deeply: "The remnants of the Eastern Desert Kingdom have not yet been wiped out. A message came from the Qin family in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that a group of forces in the south of the Yangtze River had also gathered and colluded with the small countries in the north. The Qin family has asked the local prefect to investigate. There will be news soon.”

Emperor Minghua looked serious: "If the internal struggle escalates to the level of Dachang, I will never tolerate it! They can fight openly and privately. I will turn a blind eye and let them make trouble. It will shake the foundation of the country and harm the country. It is not an exaggeration to kill the nine tribes of the common people.”

"Yes." Queen Qin's thoughts couldn't help but wander far away, thinking of Qin Huai and Ayu. These two children went on an expedition with General Hua, so naturally nothing big would happen to them. But the third prince's rebellion was really fishy and had to be guarded against.

She used to be too stubborn, but now she can't completely look away, and she can't convince herself to completely let go, but in the end she puts her child's safety and happiness first.

Empress Qin looked at Emperor Minghua with an imperceptible searching look in her eyes.

Her emperor husband's thoughts seemed to be similar to hers before.

He wanted to push Qin Huai to the position of emperor. This was the only way he could think of to treat him well as a father.

Empress Qin lowered her eyes and suddenly thought of the people in the harem.

They were all poor people, and she was neither jealous nor sympathetic.

But Ayu beside Qin Huai was different from these people, and even more different from himself.

She is a figure who is destined to shine. If she is put into the harem, she will be using her position as a queen and killing her nature.

To put it more seriously, it is Dachang's loss.

"What are you thinking about?" Emperor Minghua talked to himself for a long time, and found that Empress Qin was distracted for the first time. He felt a little aggrieved in his heart, and his head unconsciously turned to Empress Qin's eyes, "Huh?"

Empress Qin shook her head: "It's nothing. Although the third prince is a commoner, he is still a prince. This matter can be big or small. Before the matter is completely resolved, the Holy One should make a decision early."

Emperor Minghua instantly looked like a wilted boiled vegetable: "Oh."

Fengming City, the prefect's office.

General Hua and Ayu sat on either side of the main seat, while Qin Huai sat in the second place.

On the surface, General Hua is the commander and a third-grade general.

Ayu is an upstart given by the emperor and a military governor.

They are all a little taller than the prefect.

Only Qin Huai led the Hanlin Academy to compile it, and his status as an army follower was barely equivalent to that of a prefect.

The eunuch wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead without leaving a trace, and whispered: "Commander Hua, Inspector Wang, the third prince... no, the sudden death of the rebels has been submitted to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. The next step is to plan..."

Since the news of the sudden death of the third prince came, rumors spread among the people. The eunuch had people suppress it again and again, but with little effect.

This is a premeditated rumor spread, and of course it cannot be dispelled so quickly.

General Hua is a big boss and doesn't like these meanderings, so he often lets Ayu speak.

Originally, the prefect didn't take Ayu seriously because she was still a little girl. It wasn't until he had several interactions with her that he realized that this military inspector sent by the imperial court was really a bit of a jerk, so he stopped scorning her.

He was able to sneak into the position of border governor, and he was not a loser.

After understanding the situation, he showed his kindness to Ayu without hesitation.

As for Qin Huai, he was suspected of being a prince, and the prefect had also heard about it.

But he didn't curry favor with Qin Huai, because he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would take advantage of him in the future.

Anyway, he has observed that as long as he treats the supervisor well, Qin Huai will be very kind to him.

Ayu doesn't like these messy relationships. She knows that the war cannot be used to practice her skills, so when she can ask Tuanzi to help, she will let Tuanzi help.

Tuanzi had already given her a layout map with a radius of ten miles, and she also knew which forces were hiding where and what camps they were in.

Therefore, Ayu said straightforwardly: "Master Taishou, let's not beat around the bush. There are many spies inside and outside Fengming City, and there are also many enemies on the other side. In my opinion, we should first find these black sheep before talking about anything else."

The prefect was a little dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Just grab it? Who?

Did he skip any steps?

Turning his head towards General Hua and Qin Huai, they both nodded at the same time.

"Just do it."

Rumors and the like are not that important, but the bad guys must be caught first.

Especially spies, everyone can find them and punish them.
