Chapter 64: The Prince's Plan
The news that the Hanzi asked for the king's life had spread throughout Jinling City in less than half an hour. The Son of Heaven in the palace was quick and agile, and he also heard the wind, and immediately became angry.
At that time, the prince happened to enter from outside, and when he saw the thunder of the Son of Heaven, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Father, the emperor is angry!" Saying the news he handed over with his own hands, he said, "Father, please take a look." The secret letter in his hand is the news obtained by the spy after he went to Jiangning County, and it reads: The orphan of the first emperor is a girl.
This is also the latest news that everyone in Jinling City has learned. The people were in an uproar when they learned of this, and those who were interested were also shocked to learn of such a change.
The Son of Heaven read the prince's secret report, his eyes sank, and he said, "How can this matter be determined to be true or false?" ”
The prince replied: "Back to my father, the old woman who did gynecological things is now very old, and her mind is quite unclear, and she only says what she remembers, even if someone has bad intentions, the old woman can't remember it!" Then he said: "That old woman has been suffering from dementia for more than ten years, and the child thinks that this matter is nine true." ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he seemed to remember that there was another person here, and waved his hand to let the prince retreat. The prince bowed and stepped back.
The Emperor sat for a moment, stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, and his tired state appeared. The eunuch Sun Zede stepped forward lightly to relieve the fatigue of the Son of Heaven, his hands were kneading, and he heard the Son of Heaven ask: "What do you think of this matter?" ”
Sun Zede only smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "The old slave doesn't understand the affairs of the court, and he wants the old slave to say that this Wang family should be killed if he is so rebellious." ”
The Son of Heaven sneered and said, "If only it was as simple as you thought!" ”
Sun Zede said softly, knowing that the Son of Heaven was now trying to find someone to talk to, so he boldly said, "What is Your Majesty's plan for this matter?" ”
The Son of Heaven sighed, obviously not thinking about what to do.
Sun Zede smiled lightly. Said: "Your Majesty is so worried, why don't you go to the harem ladies to talk?" Jieyu Niangniang has not seen the Son of Heaven for a few days, and yesterday I saw the old slave and asked the old slave to say good things. ”
Hearing the word Jieyu, the Son of Heaven thought of Jieyu in the previous dynasty, so he frowned invisibly, shook his hand and said, "Going to the harem will only make it more of a headache." ”
Sun Zede saw that the Son of Heaven was bored, so he stopped at the point. Respectfully bow your head and say goodbye. Although he calculated Zhao Jieyu, he didn't see the slightest color on his face, if Zhao Jieyu was here. must have pointed at Sun Zede's nose and scolded the old thief for being despicable.
The room was quiet for a long time, Sun Zede sighed, and said: "Your Majesty is so tired, it makes the old slave unbearable." It's better to leave this matter to the two princes, and your majesty can rest. ”
The Son of Heaven opened his closed eyes when he heard this. Then he lowered it again and said, "You can also do it." He knew that the two sons who were vying for power could not afford to be early, and if they really handed it over to the two of them, they would definitely not suffer. Thinking of this, Tianzi's tense body relaxed. said to Sun Zede: "You go and spread the word." ”
Sun Zede responded softly, and when he saw the Son of Heaven tiptoeing out tiredly, he asked the two slaves waiting outside the hall to take care of him. Only then did he hurry away.
*************
On the third day after the Hanzi asked for the king's life, the prince who was closed in the palace finally appeared in front of everyone. And the first thing he did when he appeared in everyone's eyes was to take someone to raid the Ruan family.
On the day of the raid. The onlookers watched for a long time, and some bold people even stepped forward to ask the official master what crime the Ruan family had committed. The official is also good-tempered, and when he saw that the onlookers were curious, he confided in the Ruan family's evil deeds one by one.
It turned out that the Ruan family, who had moved here, was a heinous bully in Chenliu County. mistreated the people and robbed them of property, and even forced the descendants of the year to leave. All kinds of behaviors are shocking, and everyone can't help but think of today's topic - Wang Lie.
Wang Jialang Jun Wang Lie was also imprisoned because of the Ruan family. The Ruan family should not have committed a crime, and it also caused Xiao Langjun to be imprisoned, and people with good intentions couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh: "The Ruan family's behavior is really despicable, but it's a pity for the Wang family." ”
The official smiled when he heard this, and said: "You don't know, the prince has already picked people up this morning, and now I'm afraid that he has personally sent people back to the general's mansion." As soon as these words came out, everyone rushed to tell each other, praising the prince Mingde, and the prince also made a beautiful comeback at this time.
On that day, the prince got the eunuch Sun Zede to pass the word, and immediately found the staff and others to study the countermeasures carefully. One of the staff members pondered for a moment and said: "Today, Wang Jialangjun occupies the hearts of the people. The people's wishes, a certain feeling should not be offended. ”
The crown prince knew that otherwise, the emperor would not have delayed it again and again, and only then would he leave this tricky matter to them.
The staff seemed to see through the prince's thoughts, and said: "The Son of Heaven handed over this matter to His Royal Highness and the third prince, and he must also have expectations for the two princes." Leaving aside the three princes' side for the time being, now let's think about how we can reap the benefits from it. Because of the words of the staff, the prince and others carefully arranged, and this was praised by the people.
The prince's action of personally sending Wang Lie back to his house was seen by people with a heart. The carriage stopped at the Lin'an General's Mansion, and the prince, dressed in fine clothes, personally helped Wang Jialangjun to get out of the car, and then bowed to Wang Jialangjun and said: "Langjun has many grievances these days, and Shen Xian is here to accompany Langjun." ”
Prince Yu Shen did not have any reluctance to bow down, just like the words of the staff: Now Wang Lie can't be killed, but killing will make others suspicious. It's better to just let it go, and then hype up the identity of the princess, and by then it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, the name of the princess of the previous dynasty has been confirmed. When the time comes, if someone wants to change it...... This deception is a capital offense. Even if Wang Lie is really an orphan of the previous dynasty?
Now it has blocked the back road of the Wang family, and it has gained a good reputation...... Therefore, the prince's gift is sincere.
However, when Wang Lie saw that the prince was so polite, he was vigilant in his heart. This man had taken himself into the court lieutenant with a hateful face, and now he had sent himself back in this manner...... Isn't there something greasy in it? Wang Lie was imprisoned for many days, and he didn't know anything about the rumors outside, and when he saw the prince's attitude change sharply, he inevitably thought about it.
Wang Lie was still speculating that the prince had instructed his servants to turn around and go back, but he didn't even enter the gate of the general's mansion. However, this move was the intention of Wang Lie, and Wang Lie straightened his clothes and walked in.
As soon as Fang entered the door, the Yu family and Wang Xianyu in the distance actually came in a hurry, and when the three of them met, the mother and daughter over there were already tears in their eyes, and they were busy scanning up and down, wishing to strip Wang Lie to see if he was injured.
Wang Lie was also looking at the mother and daughter in front of him at this time, these two had obviously lost a lot of weight, and they had been worried about it since he was escorted into the court lieutenant...... (To be continued.) )
