"Your Majesty, first there was a severe drought in Huaibei, and then there was a riot of refugees, rebellion against the party, and disasters caused by Western soldiers, and even a vision in the sky, and the dog was eating the sun. " Wen Yushi of Yushitai knelt on the Jinluan Hall and bowed his head to beg, "I ask the emperor to convict and comfort the people."
It has only been two years since the emperor ascended the throne. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and military disasters followed one after another. After finally quelling these disasters, the vision of the dog eating the sun came again.
Because of the Tiangou solar eclipse, these days, there have been many disputes among civil and military officials over whether the emperor should commit a crime against himself.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zong Zhengling sternly reprimanded, "If there is a vision in the sky, the emperor can't be blamed for it. Since there will be a dog eating the sun, those people in the Qin Tianjian will eat dry food. There was no early warning to take precautions."
These censors are really daring, they actually want the emperor to issue an imperial edict, what a joke!
The emperor's guilt is edicted, wouldn't those rebellious parties have more to say, and they will definitely accuse the emperor of not belonging to God's will, and it will become a big joke. If not done well, it will even shake the hearts of the people.
"Your servant is guilty." Si Tianjian knelt down and pleaded guilty, the emperor was forced to commit a crime, and he, a little Si Tianjian, would not want to stay out of it.
"It can't all be blamed on Si Tianjian." Another minister came out to make a statement, "The will of heaven is unpredictable. God intends to deceive the world. Even if Si Tianjian has the ability to reach the sky, there is no way to know."
Si Tianjian was grateful in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, instead he lowered his head even lower.
"Since the heavens deliberately deceived, it means that the heavens are angry and warned with visions." Wen Yushi once again begged, "It is because of the loss of government, I also ask the emperor to punish himself."
The emperor's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was almost forcing himself to confess.
Soon, the ministers quarreled with each other one by one:
"All officials who are out of power are also responsible. If officials don't cultivate, it's not all on the emperor."
"Officials don't revise and government orders are inappropriate, isn't it because the emperor's will is not sincere?"
"..."
The emperor had a dark face, watching the quarrels of the courtiers below. They have been arguing for seven days since the day of the dog's eclipse, and they are not bothered!
From upside down to downside, it's almost time for a person to bump his head to death in this hall to force him!
At this time, Uncle Xuan Ping stood up and said righteously: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, although there have been natural disasters and man-made disasters, all of them have subsided now. Is the vision a crime from heaven, or punishment from heaven?"
The emperor nodded again and again, yes, everything is fine now, how could it be God's punishment? He glanced at Uncle Xuan Ping appreciatively. It is no wonder that he is his confidant, and he has won his heart. Next time, he must find a chance and hurry up. Let Xuanping Earl Fujue be the only one, and I don't know how his son has been doing recently.
"Your Majesty, on this day of dog food, the people are frightened, so we still need to comfort them." Xuan Pingbo bent down and suggested respectfully, "I think I can choose an auspicious day and pray to heaven..."
That is to sacrifice to heaven! The emperor half-closed his eyes, his heart moved.
The other civil and military ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. These days, the emperor didn't want to issue an edict to sin against himself, and they also saw it. Too much persecution is not good. In this case, it is best to take a step back. For a while, even the most upright Wen Yushi was secretly thinking about offering sacrifices to heaven.
Zong Zhengling took a step forward, bowed and said, "My minister seconded the proposal!"
Immediately afterwards, more and more ministers came forward one after another, asking for sacrifices to heaven.
…
"Zunzuo." After thinking for a moment, the emperor finally spoke, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It is undoubtedly the best for the matter of the Tiangou eclipse to end in this way.
Soothing the hearts of the people by offering sacrifices to heaven is not as good as the emperor's personal edict of sin, but overall it is still satisfactory.
"Let the Qin Tianjian calculate the auspicious time within today...retire!"
Accompanied by the sound of "Back to court", Si Tianjian let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that his life was finally recovered.
After retreating from the court, Qin Tianjian calculated the auspicious time non-stop, and the nearest auspicious time was three days later.
According to the rules of this dynasty, on the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, officials of the third rank and above in the royal capital, as well as their descendants, need to go to the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven, so the edict was also sent to the various prefectures.
After Xiao Yi received the imperial edict, he went back to the study, threw it aside casually, then picked up the dagger and carved a heavy knife on the wall, sighing: "Time flies so slowly!"
However, he didn't just wait for news in the mansion.
Xiao Yi didn't think that his stinky girl would reject him at all. For the past three days, he was busy running to Yong Yang's eldest princess mansion, pestering Yong Yang to say goodbye to the emperor. According to Yong Yang's reliable news, the emperor has already Heartbeat, only the last fire.
So, for the next three days, he was thinking hard in the mansion about how to light the last fire...
I haven't seen the stinky girl for several days, it's so boring... Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the imperial edict that he had thrown aside just now.
Three days later, the day of offering sacrifices to heaven... the stinky girl will also be there, right? Doesn't that mean that he can see her one day earlier
Xiao Yi was immediately elated, and felt that the emperor understood his intentions so well that he wanted to doze off, so he immediately sent a pillow over.
"Master!" At this moment, Cheng Yu's voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Yi said in a good mood: "Come in."
Cheng Yu walked in in a gentle manner, bowed to Xiao Yi, and reported: "My lord, there is news from Nanjiang that the second concubine set off from Nanjiang with Miss Fang Si a few days ago, and now she is rushing to the capital. on the way."
As soon as he heard the words "Concubine Ji", Xiao Yi said impatiently: "Didn't I say that, just throw them back to Southern Xinjiang. Don't bother me with such trivial matters."
"My lord," Cheng Yu reminded with a smile in his eyes, "Don't forget, the concubine will be hired at that time."
If this marriage is really settled, if the man's elders are not present when the appointment is made, it will not be serious enough. Even if the marriage is bestowed by imperial decree, it is very dishonest to the woman. The step-by-princess might come at the right time this time...
"Xiapin?" Xiao Yi's eyes burst into star-like brilliance for a moment, and he said with a smile on his face, "Cheng Yu, you are right." The plan was successful, and Xiao Fang was indeed needed. Thinking of this, he raised his voice and shouted, "Bamboo!"
Zhu Zi, who had been guarding the door all this time, ran in immediately, and before he could speak, he heard Xiao Yi impatiently order: "Find some people, and clean up the place where Concubine Ji used to live."
"There is Miss Fang Si." Cheng Yu reminded.
"Yes, there is Fang Si," Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, and said disgustedly, "Just pick a yard for her that is closer to the princess. Remember to stay away from Fufeng Courtyard!" After he got married, He was about to move to the inner house, and this Fufengyuan was specially chosen by him. From now on, where he and the stinky girl lived, those dubious people would naturally be as far away as possible.
"Yes, Master Shizi." Zhuzi replied and went to make arrangements. Anyway, the royal capital is thousands of miles away from southern Xinjiang, and there is still some time to prepare.
Xiao Yi smirked imagining the situation when he was going to be hired, and he came back to his senses after a while, and asked: "By the way, Cheng Yu, how did you find out about the matter I asked you to investigate?" What Xiao Yi said was The envoys of Xirong asked Nangong Yue for marriage.
Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said, "I'm still investigating." He also felt that his own son would not be satisfied with such a report, so he added, "The envoys of Xirong have been going to Mifang Street every day these days. Cangchunlou, but it has not been found out who they have special contacts with."
Cheng Yu also felt a little helpless, although the contacts and power in the hands of his family's eldest son were growing rapidly at an unimaginable speed, but after all, it started a bit late, and many places hadn't had time to infiltrate. It's okay on weekdays, but if something happens, it will be like now, and the information will not come in time.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi's ears moved suddenly, he looked out of the window suddenly, and waved Cheng Yu back.
Almost in the next moment, a slightly thin figure appeared outside the window, Xiaosi looked stern, and glanced over with indifferent eyes, and met Xiao Yi's eyes through the window.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to the window, and beckoned to Xiao Si lazily.
Xiaosi walked out of the window expressionlessly, and passed a plain white letter past the window frame, "My son gave it to you."
Xiao Yi's fingers fluttered, and he simply opened the letter paper. The plain white letter paper complimented his fair and slender fingers really beautiful.
After only reading one line, his eyes darkened, his whole body exuded a dangerous aura, and he read the letter as fast as he could.
What Guan Yubai said in the letter was exactly what Xiao Yi wanted to know the most these days--
It was Yu Chengfeng, the minister of the Ministry of War who instigated the envoys of Xirong to marry Nangong Yue. For this reason, Yu Chengfeng even did not hesitate to use the smelting technology of hundred steel knives used by Dayu's army as a transaction condition with the envoys of Xirong.
Xiao Yi's eyes were fixed, this Yu Chengfeng is simply audacious, leaking the smelting map is like leaking a military aircraft, if he is careless, he will lose his head and even implicate the Nine Clans, it can only be said that it is his own fault, but if it harms the entire Dayu, Wanqian People, that is the eternal sinner!
In the end, Xiao Yi's eyes fixed firmly on Xin Fai's last sentence, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, showing a cold light.
Yu Chengfeng is the confidant of Concubine Zhang and the third prince Han Lingfu!
It turned out that these two people were behind the scenes!
Murderous intent suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi's heart, and he really wished that one person would give them a knife and finish them off.
In recent days, someone in the court suggested that the second princess should get married, and Xiao Yi naturally knew about it. Unexpectedly, in order to help the second princess get rid of the marriage difficulties, Concubine Zhang and the third prince would point the finger at Nangong Yue, even at the expense of marrying the second princess. Sell the top-secret technology of smelting weapons!
But why is it someone else, but the stinky girl? I don't know where the stinky girl is hindering Concubine Zhang and the third prince!
Seeing Xiao Yi's fierce look, Xiao Si turned a blind eye and said coldly: "The letter has been brought, I will take my leave."
But when he turned around, he saw Xiao Yi skillfully propping himself up on the window frame, and easily jumped to his side, saying: "I'll follow you to the Marquis of Anyi's mansion."
Xiao Si's face darkened, and he turned and left without looking back.
Xiao Yi didn't care about his attitude of not wanting to talk to him at all, and followed him directly.
In this day and night, the two of them flew over the eaves and walls, galloped recklessly, took a small path to the Anyihou Mansion, and climbed over the wall to enter.
As soon as Xiao Yi landed on the ground, he looked around sharply. There are really many masters hidden in this mansion. If I hadn't come here with Xiaosi, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to get in.
So, do you want to come over and challenge someday? Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with interest.
Over the wall is the courtyard where Guan Yubai's study is located, so as soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, Guan Yubai who was sitting by the window saw them and raised his eyebrows. He ordered Xiao Si to deliver the letter, but he brought back a living person.
"Xiaobai!" Xiao Yi smiled and waved at Guan Yubai, and walked into the study swaggeringly.
Guan Yubai raised his eyebrows slightly, with a helpless expression on his face, it seems that this title cannot be corrected.
Xiao Yi didn't need to be greeted by anyone, and sat next to Guan Yubai familiarly, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Xiao Bai, I've read your letter." As he spoke, his expression became solemn and serious. "This time, I owe you one." He looked at Guan Yubai for a moment, on the surface he was thanking Guan Yubai for his help, but in fact he was swearing his sovereignty.
His black eyes were wide open, as if to say——
Damn girl, it's mine! Even if it's you, I won't back down!
Smart as the official language, how could he not know what Xiao Yi was implying, he was not surprised, or a little surprised, he knew that Xiao Yi was interested in Nangong Yue, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to last until today before expressing his opinion to himself.
His eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and he looked directly at Xiao Yi frankly.
The gentleman is magnanimous, and he himself was once such a sunny boy, eagerly pursuing his dreams, believing that there is nothing in the world that he can't get, but now he is full of holes.
She, like the bright moon in the night sky, should be matched by a man like the bright sun!
The corner of Guan Yubai's lips twitched, and there was a trace of bitterness in his smile, and he said lightly: "Then I will write down that A Yi owed me this time, and I will definitely get it back in the future."
His meaning was also very clear, it was Xiao Yi who owed him this time, not Nangong Yue who owed him, this favor belonged to Xiao Yi.
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth curled up, his brows and eyes crooked as he smiled, as bright as summer flowers, his face seemed to be glowing.
At that moment just now, Xiao Yi felt a little nervous in his heart. It was rare for him to be so close to Guan Yubai. It would be a bit of a pity if he had to stand on opposite sides.
Now, he can finally feel relieved.
A boulder fell in his heart, Xiao Yi smiled brighter, but soon turned his face straight, and asked: "Xiao Bai, what do you think about the matter of Xirong?"
Xiao Yi didn't really care about the matter of the western border, after all, what he needs to guard in the future is the southern border, not the western border. But when the Xirong people first arrived in Dayu, they started to think about his stinky girl, which made him very upset.
The Xirong people are so unscrupulous and arrogant. The fundamental problem is that Dayu is too weak and retreats step by step. If it wasn't for his status as a proton, the emperor would be so jealous of him, Xiao Yi really wanted to personally lead the troops to Feixia Mountain, and drive those who dared to covet the stinky girls back to Xirong.
Guan Yubai smiled slightly and said: "Actually, even if I, Dayu, do not ask for peace in this battle, Xirong may not continue to fight. Xirong's general Tuoba Ren is not only a fierce general, but also a wise general. He knew that this battle might not be fought soon, so he would break through Hengshan Pass, enter Bingzhou, capture Xihe County, Shangdang County... all the way to Feixia Mountain. In order to put pressure on the imperial court, we first weakened the momentum of Dayu, creating the illusion that the Xirong army is invincible and can break through the Central Plains immediately."
Even though he was talking about a really serious issue at the moment, Guan Yubai still had a gentle expression on his face. He poured himself a cup of tea, and then continued unhurriedly: "Actually, Tuoba Ren knows very well that once he really hits Feixia Mountain If it is east, then the entire battle line will be stretched, and neither the Xirong's troops nor the food and grass can keep up. If he is not careful, his army may even be trapped in the Central Plains and become a turtle in the urn. Now the court only sees that the Xirong army is invincible. , unstoppable, but I don't know that the people in Xirong may not be of one mind."
Guan Yubai did not show the vigor of fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his every move was elegant and calm, "Different from the Nanman that A Yi is familiar with, this Xirong is composed of twelve small clans, thirty Many years ago, the current King Xirong defeated eleven other neighboring tribes, unified the twelve tribes, and proclaimed himself the King of the West Night."
He took a sip of tea and said lightly: "In the early years, the King Xiye was young and vigorous, and he was strong and strong. Naturally, he could suppress all the tribes, but now the King Xiye is very old. His three sons It is the prime of life, and everyone is eyeing the position of King Xiye, and all the tribes are ready to move. At this time, various forces in Xirong are stalemate, and all parties are cautiously watching. If there is a fire in the rear, it is a small loss, and it is too late to regret it!"
Xiao Yi is thoughtful, although he is not familiar with Xirong, but from Zhiwei's point of view, he is indeed far inferior to Guan Yubai.
"If my guess is correct," Guan Yubai tapped the table with his fingers lightly, and pondered, "This peace negotiation is the best outcome that Tuoba Ren expected in his heart, and the various forces in Xirong are also eager to negotiate a peace, let alone I, Dayu, took the initiative to ask for peace, and Xirong naturally hoped to take the opportunity to seek the best benefits. In fact, to Xirong, it doesn't matter who is going to make peace, the important thing is who can bring them benefits."
Therefore, as soon as Concubine Zhang and the third prince offered to exchange the weapon smelting technology, the envoys of Xirong immediately asked the emperor to marry Princess Yaoguang.
It doesn't matter if it's a princess or princess, anyway, it's just a woman, if you take it back and throw it into the harem, even she can't turn the world around. But exchanging a woman for the smelting map is so worth it!
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding awe-inspiring murderous intent.
What is still unclear is why Concubine Zhang's mother and son chose a stinky girl as a substitute.
Guan Yu raised his white eyebrows slightly, interrupting his thoughts and said: "A Yi, although the emperor has rejected the envoys of Xirong, but in order to obtain the smelting map, the envoys of Xirong will not stop there... But no matter what happens, You just need to remember, don’t be impatient, and don’t mess with your own pace!” The corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said meaningfully, “It’s actually the easiest to deal with people who only care about their interests. You only need to consider your interests in everything. That's it."
Xiao Yi didn't hide his hostility at all, but he nodded calmly and said: "I know. Xiaobai... I won't act rashly. Just like you said, it is actually the easiest to deal with people who only value profit... maybe It can let me breathe a sigh of relief first, and then make them afraid to hit her idea."
Guan Yubai's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood Xiao Yi's intention in a moment.
Xiao Yi stood up, waved his hand casually and said, "I'll go first, Xiaobai. I'll come to drink tea with you next time."
Xiao Yi came out through the window naturally, followed by a hidden door in the study automatically opened, and a man in black robe walked out from inside, his long black hair was only loosely tied with a black ribbon, it seemed Very casual.
He stared at Guan Yubai very puzzled, but his tone was extremely sharp: "Yubai, since you have a heart, why don't you go for it?" He seemed casual, but there was a sigh hidden in his heart. In the end, Guan Yubai seemed to be a completely different person, losing his former ambition and vitality. Now he seems to be only living for the dead souls of the officials.
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, picked up the unfinished book on the desk, read it, and said without raising his head: "You have been in the capital for almost a month, do you have any clues about that matter?"
The man in black robe touched his nose boredly, what a bore!
Guan Yubai now, he really can't understand it at all! I really miss the boy who said something in the past! It's not like now, talking to him is like playing a guessing game...
…
After Xiao Yi left the Anyihou Mansion, he only did one thing, and ordered someone to send a secret letter to the third prince Han Lingfu.
And then, he waited patiently.
This night, he slept well, and the first thing he did after waking up was to slash the wall with a dagger again, then looked at the seven knife marks on the wall foolishly, and laughed for a long time.
I went to the yard to fight a set of punches, then went back to the study to change clothes, and then went to Wucheng Bingmasi.
The turmoil of Tiangou Shiri has not completely subsided, but Dongcheng still has a lot of peace under Xiao Yi's thunderous means.
Xiao Yi led people to patrol the street casually, and at dusk, he directly ordered a few people to go to Mifang Street.
Mifang Street is the most famous place for fireworks in Wangdu. It's only dusk, and the whole street has been lit up with bright red lanterns, embellishing the whole street like daytime.
After entering Mifang Street, Xiao Yi went straight to Cangchunlou, the most luxurious brothel on Mifang Street.
The smell of incense powder that filled the whole street made Xiao Yi feel a little uncomfortable. Standing in front of the Cangchun Tower, he didn't even look at the bustard who was greeting them attentively, and waved, "Go in!"
The deputy commander of Dongcheng, Feng Shuxuan, was picked up by Xiao Yi, so he naturally understood his boss's mind best. Seeing his disgusted look, he took the initiative to lead people into the Cangchun Tower with great interest.
The old bustard was startled, and hurried over to stop her, but those people would not listen to her, they rushed straight in the Cangchun Building, the girls were frightened and screamed, and the guests even dodged with their heads in their hands. Those who couldn't dodge in time were pushed away and fell to the ground.
There was a sudden chaos in the Cangchun Building, and the old bustard became anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Masters... do you know whose property this Cangchun Building is?"
To be able to gain a foothold in this king's capital and crown Mifang Street, if there is no one behind it, I'm afraid it would have been taken away by someone, and this Cangchun Building belongs to King Qi's property. Although this is not known to everyone in the capital, it is not considered a secret.
But who is Wucheng Bingmasi? To put it bluntly, it is a group of dudes in the capital, where they hang out together, who are they afraid of? What's more, there is Xiao Yi, the boss, backing him, and his actions are even worse. Unscrupulous, Feng Shuxuan pushed the madam away impatiently, and led him straight up to the second floor.
"Search!"
Feng Shuxuan gave an order, and a dozen people behind him rushed into different boxes.
"ah--"
Shouts of fright came from each private room, and the whole Cangchun Building was in chaos.
The old bustard was devastated by their unreasonable behavior, while busy appeasing the guests, he hurriedly sent people to Qi Wangfu.
boom!
At the same time when the door of one of the boxes was knocked open, Han Lingfu was sitting in it at a glance. Besides Han Lingfu, there were two other people, one of them was thin and thin, and the other had a curly beard. It looks like it's from a foreign land. A few gorgeously dressed stunning women are accompanying, serving wine and playing the piano.
They were startled by this sudden situation at the same time.
"Third Prince?"
A young man who led the order to search the Cangchun Tower exclaimed, and he deliberately let go of his voice. For a moment, almost everyone knew that the third prince had come to the Cangchun Tower.
The emperor has five princes in total, and no crown prince has been established yet, and the son is weak and sick, so some people in the capital are eager to move, wanting to get the merit of being a dragon. There are already several factions in the court, especially the eldest prince, second prince and third prince who are almost grown up, who are most favored by these courtiers.
Since Xiao Yi entered Wucheng Bingma Division, he has subdued the group of people under him. Among the people brought out this time, none of his family is on the side of the third prince Han Lingfu. On the contrary, there are three of them. The families behind the individual are the diehards of the eldest prince and the second prince respectively.
Han Lingfu's face turned pale, and his guards quickly protected him, and went out in a panic.
No one stopped them, and they let them go down the stairs. At the same time, the door of a wing room not far away was knocked open, and immediately after, someone shouted: "We found it, take them down!"
Then there was a louder uproar.
Han Lingfu didn't bother to see what happened, and escaped out of the Cangchun Building, but bumped into the young man in light armor with a lazy smile.
"Third Prince?" Xiao Yi said with a look of surprise, "Why are you here?"
Han Lingfu couldn't help but startled, "Xiao Shizi?"
"It's just right." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Be a witness for me, and I will have an explanation when the emperor asks. In case the censor impeaches me for being unscrupulous and maliciously disturbing the people, your appearance is really timely! Come on! Come, come with me to see the emperor."
Han Lingfu's complexion changed, and he quickly took a step back, and said, "No need, Bengong... Bengong..." What should he say? Why did he appear in this brothel? No explanation can be justified! He can only be serious Said: "Xiao Shizi, just treat it as if I owe you a favor, this matter..."
Xiao Yi pretended to be troubled and said, "I'm afraid we can't hide this matter..." After speaking, he leaned in front of Han Lingfu and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Third Prince, you are plotting against Nangong. When you were in Yue, did you expect to see today?"
Han Lingfu was really shocked this time, and blurted out: "Xiao Yi, you..."
"Third prince." The corners of Xiao Yi's lips were slightly raised, and he concealed the hostility with a wanton and flamboyant smile, "You still think about it, how do you explain to the emperor why you are here, and the envoy of Xirong Let's meet in private."
"Xiao Yi!" Han Lingfu's breath was also a little messed up, he panicked for the first time in his life, and hurriedly said, "It's just for a woman, are you worth it?"
Xiao Yi smiled, and asked without answering: "I've done everything, Third Prince, do you think it's worth it?"
"Commander Xiao!" At this time, Feng Shuxuan had already had three people escorted out of the Cangchun Tower, "They have been caught!"
"Bring back to the Military Division of the Five Cities." Xiao Yi glanced meaningfully at the pale Han Lingfu, and said flamboyantly, "This son has to go to the palace to plead guilty!" As he spoke, he rode away directly.
Feng Shuxuan turned to his back, and responded respectfully: "Yes!"
Han Lingfu stood there in a daze, and suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Quick, hurry into the palace!"
The son of Zhennan Prince, this well-known dude in the capital, the future Zhennan King, for Han Lingfu who wants to seize the heir apparent, is undoubtedly the one who wants to befriend Han Lingfu. For a long time, although he and Xiao Yi's relationship can't be said to be very good, but it's not too bad either. Anyway, the relationship between his two imperial brothers and Xiao Yi is only mediocre, and Han Lingfu is not too anxious, so he is concerned about the second princess's desire to marry Xiao Yi. , he was also quite active, but unexpectedly...
Nangong Yue, it turned out that not only her father intended to ration her to Xiao Yi, but even Xiao Yi himself had this intention! What a wrong step, wrong step, he shouldn't have listened to the words of the emperor's sister and called Nangong Yue to get married in the first place So much so that he offended Xiao Yi.
Han Lingfu galloped his horse towards the imperial palace. At this time, the gate of the palace was not yet closed. After entering the imperial city, he dismounted and went directly to Chang'an Palace.
It was learned from a servant that the emperor hadn't rested yet, and was receiving Xiao Yi, the heir son of Zhennan Prince, in Dongnuange. Han Lingfu's heart "thumped", and he ordered someone to report for him. After a while, the emperor announced him to go in.
After entering the East Nuan Pavilion, Han Lingfu lifted his robe and saluted respectfully: "I see my father."
The emperor didn't ask him to flatten his body, so Han Lingfu could only maintain the posture of saluting, not daring to move, and cold sweat drenched his back.
"Brother Yi, keep talking."
"Yes. Uncle Emperor." Xiao Yi was standing on one side, reporting to the emperor, "...the minister met a group of remnants of the previous dynasty when he was renovating the Eastern City a few days ago. The incident, the accusation is caused by the emperor...caused natural disasters and man-made disasters. These people are extremely cunning. I have been arresting them for several days. I only got the news today that they have gone to the Cangchun Tower. Now they are in the prison of Wucheng Bingmasi I just didn't expect..." He glanced back at Han Lingfu, and said helplessly, "I will see the third prince there. In the Cangchun Building, there are people coming and going, and now I'm afraid I can't hide it..."
Xiao Yi knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "It is the minister who is not cautious enough, please forgive me."
"Brother Yi, get up. What's wrong with you in this matter? Could it be that before you went to the brothel to arrest people, you went to see if the prince of Zhen was there?" Speaking of which, the emperor directly picked up the table Throwing the inkstone on the case towards Han Lingfu, he sneered, "Don't you think so, my third prince!"
The inkstone landed on his side with a "bang", and the ink splashed all over him. Han Lingfu didn't dare to look up, but just repeated: "I know my mistake!"
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, what else can you say besides knowing that I'm wrong?" The emperor scolded angrily, "My prince actually went to the brothel to find flowers and ask Liu... Well, that's really great!"
"Father, please calm down. My son knows his mistake." Han Lingfu said earnestly, "You must take care of yourself."
The emperor walked over, kicked him, and said, "Of course I have to take care, lest I be pissed to death by you unfilial sons."
Han Lingfu didn't dodge, but was kicked heavily by the emperor and fell to the ground. He grunted in pain, and quickly got up again, with his head deeply bent on the ground, without any excuse.
It's just that Han Lingfu felt a little strange. Up to now, his father didn't ask himself why he met those Xirong envoys, but he was blindly annoyed because he went to the brothel. Could it be, could it be... Xiao Yi didn't tell his father Emperor
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu tentatively said: "Father, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to that kind of place out of curiosity... My son is wrong, please punish me."
"Curiosity?" The emperor said with a sneer, "It seems that the master who went to the study recently gave you too little homework, so you are so curious!"
Han Lingfu breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Yi really didn't say anything, why
Could it be that Xiao Yi didn't want to tear himself apart, but he gave himself a warning just because he had plotted against Nangong Yue this time
Xiao Yi stood aside and looked at him with great interest. He didn't say anything about the envoys of Xirong, but it was unnecessary. Sooner or later, this matter would reach the emperor's ears. Too deliberate to arouse suspicion.
As Guan Yubai said, it is actually the easiest to deal with those who focus on interests, you just need to clearly put interests in front of them. My identity as the son of Zhennan Prince represents the future military power in southern Xinjiang. I am afraid that no one will turn a blind eye to these princes who are seizing the throne.
Therefore, from now on, if Han Lingfu wants to hit the bad girl again, he will have to think about it carefully!
