Palace.The ministers entered the palace one after another to participate in today's court meeting, and Xie Jinghuai was no exception, and entered the palace early.It was extremely cold to go out early in the morning, Xie Jinghuai walked in the snow, and a gust of cold wind swept over and hit Xie Jinghuai's face, making Xie Jinghuai's handsome face very cold, but Xie Jinghuai seemed to have no feeling, and still walked calmly in the snow."
Lord Rui."
An unfamiliar voice sounded behind Xie Jinghuai.Xie Jinghuai paused, then raised his feet and continued to walk forward, as if he had never heard someone calling him behind him.Xie Jinghuai felt that the footsteps were getting closer and closer, until a figure walked side by side with him, and the person next to him took a wide step, and his tone was brisk: "Lord Rui tried his best, but I am afraid that I will not be able to save my imperial brother this time." ”It was the third prince who was talking beside Xie Jinghuai, and as soon as the third prince entered the palace gate, he saw Xie Jinghuai walking in front.As soon as I saw Xie Jinghuai, I couldn't help but think of yesterday's events, now that Wu Meiren has been removed, she has nothing to worry about at all, so she wants to mock Xie Jinghuai well."
How did the third prince know that this king couldn't save Qi Yang this time?"
Xie Jinghuai stopped and looked at the third prince and asked."
The ten emperor brothers dare to do misdeeds to their father and concubines, how can the father forgive such a heinous crime?"
The third prince puffed out his chest and said loudly.Xie Jinghuai's handsome face did not have any expression, but the pair of deep eyes looked at the third prince with a deep meaning: "The third prince knows everything clearly. ”"It's such a big thing, you can't hide it."
The third prince stared at Xie Jinghuai and said deliberately: "Prince Rui and the Ten Emperor Brothers have always been good friends, I wonder if Lord Rui knew about this incident in advance?"
If Lord Rui knew in advance but hid it from his father, then it was your fault. ”"Isn't this matter the third prince you know best?"
Xie Jinghuai met the gaze of the three princes and looked at each other.The third prince looked up to the sky and laughed twice: "What Prince Rui said is funny, the tenth emperor brother wants to mistreat his father and concubine, how can I know this kind of thing."
But you, Lord Rui, have a deep relationship with my ten princes, and I'm afraid you also know a thing or two. ”Xie Jinghuai stared at the three princes, and paused for a while before saying: "The three princes can speak well, this king is ashamed of himself, I just hope that when I get to the court in a while, the three princes can still be like this." ”As the last word fell, Xie Jinghuai no longer stayed, and strode forward, no longer verbose with the three princes.The third prince frowned, what did Xie Jinghuai mean by this, could it be that Xie Jinghuai had prepared something?
The third prince felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and always felt that Xie Jinghuai's words before leaving had a deep meaning, could it be that Xie Jinghuai did something?
Because of Xie Jinghuai's words, the third prince began to worry a little uneasy, and with the worry in his heart, the third prince went to the court.Above the court, there were civil and military ministers standing on both sides, and the emperor was wearing a yellow dragon robe and sitting majestically on the dragon chair, looking down at the courtiers below.Because the emperor was not in a good mood about Qiyang's affairs, the emperor in the court today had a calm face, and he had no intention of asking the ministers about the government, but just asked as usual: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat from the court." ”If it was in the past, the emperor would definitely ask about the political affairs of the courtiers, but today the emperor is really not in the mood."
Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do."
Lord Yanagi stood from his position to the middle arch.The emperor looked at Lord Liu and asked, "What's the matter with Lord Liu?"
”"Your Majesty, Wei Chen heard that the ten princes broke into the harem yesterday and wanted to mistreat the harem concubines, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
The emperor's pupils shrank, and he looked at Lord Liu in surprise, as if he didn't expect Lord Liu to know about it.Yesterday, he had obviously ordered the blockade of this matter, why did it reach the ears of these ministers, not only that, but what was the matter with this Lord Liu, who asked such a question in front of many courtiers.The emperor glanced at Lord Liu dissatisfied, but now that Lord Liu asked this question in front of so many courtiers, he couldn't help but answer.Suppressing the anger in his heart, the emperor said: "There is such a thing." ”"Your Majesty, the third prince, as the son of the royal family, did such a humiliating and immoral thing, he really didn't deserve to be a prince, and asked the emperor to order the three princes to be demoted to concubines to set an example."
Lord Liu said loudly.Lord Liu received a letter from the third prince last night, and the third prince asked him to unite several other courtiers today and take the initiative to ask the emperor to punish Qi Yang, and it is best to demote him to a concubine, so that he will lose the noble status of the prince."
Your Majesty, Wechen also heard about this, Wechen and Lord Liu thought the same, Wechen thought that the Ten Princes did such a thing, which was really insulting to the royal family."
But the adults also chimed in."
Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that the Ten Princes should be demoted to concubines."
At this time, all the people who spoke were the three princes, and these people all supported the three princes, and it was also the three princes' instructions to speak today.But above the court, there are not people who are the three princes, but also people who support Qi Yang, such as Lord Du: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the ten princes have a valuable character and will never do such a thing, and this matter may still need to be investigated." ”"This matter was seen by my father with his own eyes, so what else is there to investigate?"
The third prince couldn't help but speak.As soon as he said this, the third prince regretted it, because he saw the emperor's slightly scrutinizing and suspicious gaze.The third prince frowned slightly, because he was too anxious and didn't hold back for a while."
Your Majesty, the Ten Princes are humble and high-spirited, how can they be such a person, I'm afraid that this matter is only caused by villains!"
Master Du glanced at the three princes as he spoke, looking meaningful."
What is Lord Du doing watching this prince do?"
The third prince squinted his eyes and said with a little anger.Master Du snorted lightly and did not answer the words of the third prince.The third prince invisibly gave Lord Liu a look, and Lord Liu instantly understood, so he continued to clear his throat and said: "Your Majesty, what is going on in this matter, I believe that the emperor has also made a decision in his heart, after all, the emperor saw it with his own eyes at that time." ”This sentence is undoubtedly reminding the emperor that he saw it with his own eyes, how can it be fake?
But at this time, the emperor was thinking, who leaked the news of this matter?
The harem concubines were worried about their own sons and wanted to do wrong, this is not a glorious thing, the emperor blocked the news at that time, why did these ministers know and make trouble in the court?
Thinking about it carefully, I can't help but make the emperor feel that this matter is really not simple, I'm afraid that things are really not what I see.At this moment, the three princes didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and the three princes arranged for Lord Liu to mention this matter in the court just to convict the ten princes as soon as possible, but the three princes ignored this detail, which was indeed his carelessness, and now it has aroused the emperor's suspicions.()
