Hearing Song Yushu's answer, Jiang Siyuan was stunned for a moment. He thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
Song Yushu had just arrived at the Supervisory Office and he had already subdued those who bullied him. They even avoided him when they saw him. No one knew why he was so well-informed.
He can defeat the entire Supervisory Council with just his mouth, and even Yue Lu would not easily provoke Song Yushu.
Upon hearing that the prince had transferred people from the patrol camp to the Censorate, the emperor summoned the prince.
"I heard that you sent someone to the Censorate?" The emperor casually flipped through the documents on the table.
Lu Yanzhou glanced at the emperor's expression and nodded. "The son of the Marquis of Wenchang is in danger and has been poisoned in prison. It seems the person behind this is getting anxious. I want to take this opportunity to expose the mastermind behind this."
"It's just a case of letting an arms dealer pass through the border. Even if the mastermind is exposed, I'm afraid he won't be hurt at all." The emperor put down the documents in his hand and waved his hand, "Give the prince a seat."
The eunuch quickly brought a chair for Lu Yanzhou. After Lu Yanzhou sat down, he glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall.
The chief eunuch, Eunuch Li, glanced at the emperor, who nodded. He immediately drove everyone out of the palace and said, "Wait outside. No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission!"
"yes."
Seeing that only the emperor and Eunuch Li were left in the palace, Lu Yanzhou finally said, "I have just recently verified that when the son of the Marquis of Wenchang allowed the arms dealers to cross the border, he allowed them to take away a large amount of jade ore."
"Jade ore? There are jade mines in the Marquis of Wenchang's fiefdom, and he actually dares to sell jade?" The emperor sneered, "Does he really think he's so audacious just because he's Lin Zong's brother-in-law?"
Lu Yanzhou shook his head slightly. "Father, I have received some news: a new jade vein has been discovered near the Marquis of Wenchang's fiefdom."
"They're actually mining privately! How audacious!" The emperor was furious, but then he thought of something, "Is it..."
Lu Yanzhou nodded with certainty, "This matter is inextricably linked to Prince Yu."
"Beast!" The emperor overturned everything on the table. "This little beast and the Lin family are planning a rebellion?!"
"Your Majesty, I have also investigated this matter, but according to intelligence, the Lin family is unaware of it." Although Lu Yanzhou wanted to use this incident to plunge Prince Yu and the Lin family into the abyss, the fact was like this, and he couldn't make up a story.
After all, the emperor's approach has always been to maintain a balance in the court. Lu Yanzhou sees clearly that if one family dominates, the emperor will be suspicious of him. Even if he is already the crown prince, his final outcome will not be good.
The emperor frowned, somewhat incredulously, "Does that mean this was caused by Prince Yu alone?"
"According to the intelligence that was passed back, it is indeed so." Lu Yanzhou always told the emperor everything he knew, otherwise he would not have been able to serve as the crown prince for so long.
"That's a pity." The emperor snorted coldly, "The Lin family is quite sensible, but the wolf cub has grown up and is difficult to discipline."
Lu Yanzhou didn't dare to respond to this question. After all, he was also a wolf cub raised by the emperor himself.
"Forget it. You sent people to blatantly surround the Overwatch Council, which would make it difficult for Prince Yu to take action. Instead, retreat your men to the dark and lure Prince Yu's men into the trap." The emperor narrowed his eyes at Lu Yanzhou. "If he dares to illegally mine the veins, I will make him know who owns this world!"
"Yes, Father!"
After leaving the palace, Lu Yanzhou immediately rushed to the Supervisory Office. He also went to see Song Yushu. He accepted all the things that he and Prince Yu sent to his house. He was really a cunning fox.
However, it was this approach that made Lu Yanzhou more convinced that if he could subdue this eunuch, it would definitely be of great benefit to his path to the throne.
So when Lu Yanzhou arrived at the Supervisory Office and met Jiang Shouli, the first thing he asked Song Yushu was, "Where is Little Songzi?"
"Imperial Censor Song is in my son's courtyard, checking on the condition of Marquis Wenchang's son." Jiang Shouli paused. "Should I have someone summon him?"
"Well, that's perfect. I'll go there myself." In order to show that he valued Song Yushu, Lu Yanzhou prepared to go there himself.
Jiang Shouli had no choice but to follow him to Jiang Siyuan's yard.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Dean Jiang." Song Yushu and Jiang Siyuan saluted Lu Yanzhou together.
Lu Yanzhou only gave Song Yushu a slight support and said, "No need to be so polite. Next time, little Songzi, just give a half-offer."
A half-offer meant no need to kowtow. Song Yushu quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness. I wonder why Your Highness has come this time..."
"Can't I just come over to see you?" Lu Yanzhou teased Song Yushu with a smile, but he caught Jiang Siyuan's incredulous expression from the corner of his eye and coughed lightly. "His Majesty ordered me to come here, saying that he wants to break up the patrol camp into small groups and ambush them in the dark, so as to lure out the mastermind behind this."
To be honest, Prince Yu’s character is indeed not good, but he is not a fool. Even if you put him in the dark, he will not be fooled.
But you still have to flatter when you should.
"Your Majesty is wise, and the Crown Prince is wise." Before Song Yushu finished speaking, he saw Xia Xingde hurriedly walking towards him.
As soon as he saw Xia Xingde, the smile on Lu Yanzhou's face disappeared. He had been feeling more and more uncomfortable seeing this guy recently.
Song Yushu and Jiang Siyuan were both guarding the courtyard, but he, the Zhanshi who represented the face of the Prince's Mansion, had gone somewhere to be sneaky!
"Take back the people outside the Supervisory Council." Lu Yanzhou said something nonsensical to Xia Xingde with a cold face.
Xia Xingde hadn't been there just now, so he didn't know why Lu Yanzhou wanted to recall the patrol camp. "Your Highness, what is this...?"
"Lord Xia, you were not here just now. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that His Majesty said it is not appropriate to deploy the patrol camp personnel outside in such a high-profile manner. This way, no one can be caught." Song Yushu suddenly became very kind and explained to Xia Xingde.
"Do you really need to pretend to be a good person here?!" Xia Xingde was immediately furious and subconsciously refuted Song Yushu.
But unexpectedly, Song Yushu completely lost his previous arrogance and even took a step back. "Master Xia, what are you doing?"
"Song Yushu is now a second-rank imperial censor. How dare you, a mere chamberlain in the Crown Prince's Palace, act like this?" Lu Yanzhou's expression changed. He took a step forward, protecting Song Yushu behind him. "Do you really think I will tolerate you forever?"
Xia Xingde looked at Lu Yanzhou in disbelief, "Your Highness, you misunderstood! This eunuch was not like this before! He was lying to you!"
"I only believe what I see!" Lu Yanzhou completely disregarded Xia Xingde's dignity. "The Crown Prince's Mansion doesn't need a secretary like you!"
