After King Jin left Concubine Zhen's palace, he didn't go back to the palace to change his clothes, but went directly to the front hall to wait. He waited for nearly an hour, but instead of waiting for the emperor, he saw the eldest prince, King Ling, who came to greet him.
The whereabouts of the emperor going out of the palace was not considered a secret. In addition, Princess Yide and Princess Mu Yunyao were with each other. They did not envy the building and did not deliberately hide it. Therefore, King Ling quickly knew whether the emperor and Princess Yide were going. Xianlou tea news.
While he had people guarding the door of Buxian Tower, after realizing that the emperor wanted to leave and return to the palace, he first came to the palace and came to see King Jin who had been waiting for most of the day.
"Oh, why is the third brother so embarrassed? Don't you know how to organize your appearance when you came to see the father and emperor?"
"I saw my eldest brother. On the way back, I heard that my father was sick, so I was very worried about it. After returning to Beijing, I went straight to the palace without changing my clothes. Did my eldest brother come here today to say goodbye to the father?"
King Ling curled the corners of his lips, with an unfathomable smile on his face: "You should be more anxious, after all, it will be inconvenient for you to enter the palace after today."
King Jin's eyes sank: "Brother, what do you mean by this?" "After you returned to the capital, didn't you deliberately inquire about what happened recently?" King Ling reached out and patted his forehead lightly, "Look at me. , the third brother just said that when he heard that his father was sick, he came to the palace in a hurry.
He was ordered to investigate by his father. "
King Jin frowned, and said inexplicably, "I don't understand what the beggar's case of hiding silver is, what the elder brother is talking about."
"The third brother pretends to be confused. It's really admirable. Looking at your expression, I almost believed you were innocent."
"What the hell are you talking about?" "Anyway, this matter has already been known to the emperor, and I'm not afraid to tell you in advance. You colluded with salt merchants in Jiangnan to embezzle the salt tax, tax and silver, and then forged account books and official silver, thinking that it would explode. Lining the river embankment, let the flood flood the ships carrying the official silver and have no worries, so I boldly imposed the salt tax
Tax silver is shipped into Kyoto. If it wasn't for the emperor's scrutiny, he found clues in those beggars. King Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and a very dangerous light flashed in his eyes: "Brother falsely framed me, and I must seek justice in front of the father and emperor later. And my two uncles, I believe they occupied some land, but they definitely didn't beat people to death.
With this guts, the eldest brother instructed the Li family to take action against the two of them, and framed people unscrupulously. The most important point, shouldn't the eldest brother know exactly where the salt tax, tax and silver are located? "
King Jin was not sure at first, but now he saw King Ling showing off his might in front of him. The 10,000 liang salt tax bills must have been taken away by the Li family. "What do I know? You don't want to bite at will, or I'll ask the royal father to do justice." King Ling snorted coldly in his heart, it was clear that the mountains and rivers were almost exhausted, and King Jin was still hypocritical to the extreme. With a calm appearance, those who don't know the truth still think how wronged he is
Woolen cloth.
Just as the two were arguing, the guards' salute interrupted the two: "I have seen the emperor, I have seen the long princess Yide..."
The two hurriedly turned around, saw the person walking by, and hurriedly bowed and saluted. Mu Yunyao held Princess Yide's arm while talking to the emperor with a smile: "Uncle, grandpa, don't you know, in order to find a way to wrap the scissors with ice silk, I don't know how much it cost. Mind, I don't know who bought the scissors, the blades are exceptionally sharp, look back
When I find someone, I will fine him half a month's money..."
It was clearly something extremely trivial, but Mu Yunyao said it with a smile, but with a different kind of interest, Emperor Ren listened with relish, just as he was about to speak about her, he saw King Ling and King Jin standing under the steps. .
Princess Yide stopped: "Your Majesty, the two children came to greet you, and Yunyao and I will go back first."
"Okay, Huangjie slow down, Yunyao took good care of your grandmother."
"Yes."
When Princess Yide and Mu Yunyao left, the emperor glanced at King Ling and King Jin, and the smile on his face turned cold: "Earlier, I issued an order to let you two come back together, but you are in tandem. Today, I did not announce you to enter the palace, but instead came together."
Following in the footsteps of the emperor, the two walked into the hall together.
"Royal Father, I heard that Buxian Lou has produced a very particular kind of flower and fruit tea, and specially let someone buy some for Emperor Father to taste."
The emperor glanced at King Ling with an inexplicable look: "That's not a coincidence. I just went to Buxian Lou to taste the flower and fruit tea today. I think the taste is average, and I don't like it much."
King Ling's face was slightly embarrassed for a moment, and then he smiled again: "Erchen specifically asked Sicha of Buxianlou, and said that this kind of flower and fruit tea has the effect of concentrating and nourishing qi, although the taste is not as good as going to the palace. of those precious tea leaves, but it’s good to take a sip or two of them usually.”
The emperor turned his head and gestured to Xu Li.
Xu Li walked down quickly, respectfully took the box from King Ling's hand, and placed it on the edge of the imperial case.
Seeing this, King Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at King Jin: "Why doesn't the third brother speak?"
Seeing that the emperor's eyes fell on him, King Jin stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Father, my son, after receiving your order, did not return from Linjiang City as soon as possible, and disobeyed it. For your will, please ask the royal father to punish you."
The emperor looked at King Jin, and the light in his eyes was extremely complicated. After a while, he slowly said: "King Ling, you go down first."
King Ling, who was going to watch the joke, was a little reluctant. After looking at King Jin twice, he slowly retreated.
The emperor stood up and walked down the steps until he stopped in front of King Jin, then he raised his foot violently and kicked King Jin to the ground with one kick: "Nie Barrier, do you know what you have done wrong?"
King Jin was kicked to his back, and with a terrified face, he knelt up again, and bowed at the emperor's feet: "Father, I really don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry. Father, please make it clear." The emperor looked at him with a gloomy expression: "I will give you one last chance. If you confess everything, I will not treat you lightly. If you are still obsessed, then don't blame me for not caring. I miss you and my father-son relationship for many years!"
