Views:

The officials bet on Prince Bao to come up. After entering the house, Yu Wenhao sent them out and guarded them from a distance, not at the door.

Prince Bao was a little surprised by his behavior and raised his godless eyes to look at him, "I have said everything, and the list is given to you. There is really nothing to tell. You don’t have to waste your thoughts, but hurry. Follow it up, it's important to retrieve the soldier map."

Yu Wenhao made an inviting gesture and said softly: "Someone has already investigated. I don’t need to go out. The wind is blowing up tonight, and it’s much colder. You have never had a good meal since the old princess Anfeng left Beijing. In the evening, our father and my husband will have a good drink and ignore everything."

Prince Bao looked at him, skeptical, "Not for questioning?"

"If you want to say it, just talk, if you don't want to say it, just eat and drink. I won't force you." Yu Wenhao said.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Yu Wenhao sat down by himself first, raised his head to look at him, and smiled, "I used to envy my uncle very much. He is rich in the world, and he is leisurely. For you, the world is most annoying. There is nothing more that the bird you raise is sick, and you can't buy the antique you like, right?"

Prince Bao sat down in silence, sorrow faintly revealed in his eyes.

Yu Wenhao poured wine for him, "This wine may not be as good as your house, so I will just take it."

"In my house?" Prince Bao sneered. "Do I have a mansion now? I am already a prisoner. The prince should not say these ironic words."

"Mistaken tongue!" Yu Wenhao smiled and toasted, "I will punish myself for a cup."

He raised his head, drank the wine in one gulp, smacked his tongue like a rude man, and said with emotion: "I remembered that when the old princess Anfeng was leaving, she kept wiping away tears, which made people feel uncomfortable. She couldn't bear to leave. , But I can't help but leave, I feel helpless."

Prince Bao stared at him, "What do you want to say?"

"A few nonsense, don't take it to heart," Yu Wenhao looked at his wine glass, "Uncle, please drink."

Prince Bao said: "Just say what you have to say, don't be foolish here, I don't eat this set, and I don't want to eat this banquet."

Yu Wenhao was not in a hurry. He just poured himself a drink. After drinking five glasses in a row, his face was a little drunk, he slowly put down the wine glass, and when he looked up, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "You have been hiding one. people."

Prince Bao was slightly stunned, "I have not concealed it. If you believe it, you can believe it. I can't do anything if you don't believe it."

Yu Wenhao stared at the anger on his face, but slowly laughed, "Uncle grandfather, don't worry, this is not what I said, but the veteran."

"They are so nonsense, can someone believe it too?" Prince Bao looked away, coldly.

Yu Wenhao shrugged, "There are people in the DPRK who believe, and some don't. After all, the old emperor Anfeng's grandfather has left the capital for so many years, who would believe that their couple has the idea of rebellion?"

Prince Bao stood up suddenly, full of anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong with them? They didn't know beforehand, who was it? Who said it? See if this king does not tear his mouth!"

Yu Wenhao's eyes swept over, "There are a lot of speculators in the court, and some have even played it. We need to thoroughly investigate the couple."

"Babble nonsense, nonsense!" Prince Bao kicked over the table and trembled with anger. "This is a frame, a bite, and a frame!"

The table collapsed and the food was scattered all over the floor. Prince Bao's eyes were red and he stared at Yu Wenhao angrily.

Yu Wenhao stood up and moved the chair he made, then sat down and looked at him again, "Whether it's framed or bitten, in short, anything you do may represent them. They leave the capital, that is Because these rumors are raging, lest they cause an uproar, they left at this time. If there is no reasonable explanation, they will never be able to clear the suspicion of this melon field and it will probably never be possible to return to Beijing."

Prince Bao sternly said: "You go to investigate, don't you believe them?"

Yu Wenhao said indifferently: "What's the use of my belief? Father's letter is useless, even if it is to drop the will, no one is allowed to discuss it, but can the will hold people's hearts? Can it hold the mouths of the people in Beijing?"

Prince Bao was panting, like a wounded beast. He has never been so excited since he was put in prison.

Yu Wenhao looked at him, "So, the person who hurt Lu Yuan is the fourth child, isn't it?"

Prince Bao's eyebrows jumped, and his eyes dodge for a moment, "Nonsense!"

Yu Wenhao asked: "I really don't understand why you want to protect the fourth child. What agreement does he have with you? Since you have all pleaded guilty, why do you still protect him?"

Prince Bao stood alone, his elongated shadow being pulled against the wall, his face calm and silent.

Yu Wenhao knew that this was equivalent to acquiescence, and the fourth child was indeed involved in this matter.

However, if you don't get a word from him, it's useless to know, and you can't hold him without evidence.

"Actually, you know that the soldier map fell into the hands of the fourth child, don't you?" Yu Wenhao was a little impatient. "The soldier map is very important and is closely related to the fate of my Northern Tang Dynasty. Now, you have to hide it for him. What benefit did he give you? For him, do you want to plead with Princess Anfeng for infidelity? You want her to be old and still be criticized by someone pointing to her spine for treason and usurpation?"

Prince Bao's complexion changed several times, and his eyes were also uncertain. After a long time, he sighed deeply, "He did fight against me in the alley that night, but he was not as good as me, so I ran away and grabbed it. The horse left. I don’t know if he hurt Lu Yuan since then. He didn’t catch up."

"Then why are you hiding this?" Yu Wenhao asked.

Prince Bao smiled coldly, "It's not that I have the intention to conceal it, but that you can't verify the matter when I say it. Can only my confession prove that the military map is in his hands? There must be his people in my house, but those people He will not betray him, but will only bite me back, so I gave him the offer, and I couldn't get the slightest benefit. Instead, I would be sentenced to another charge of biting the prince, and it would hurt my family."

"He threatened your family?" Yu Wenhao had a cold face.

Prince Bao said: "During my time under house arrest in the palace, there was indeed a letter from someone. If I want my family to live a long life, it is best to know what to say and what not to say. Apart from him, who else would threaten me? ?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Wenhao with a sarcasm, "I just told you, what can you do? Is there any evidence to take him? Isn't it helpless? The emperor is too kind and cares too much about the family relationship, in fact, after he made you a prince , It is time to seize the rights of other princes. This is the best way to stabilize the country. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."
