Chapter 443: Something Happened Again
The weather was getting colder and colder, and the crown princess, who rolled out of the bed, finally saw the heavy snow outside on the sixth day of December.
The white expanse of snow indicates that this will be a good year.
"What about the prince?" Ji Yunliu asked Jiuniang to change her clothes while asking, "With such a big snow outside, the prince is still practicing martial arts in the courtyard?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only been practicing in the courtyard for about a quarter of an hour today, and the third young man of Xie Mansion came. Jiu Niang tied her belt and replied, "Your Highness is now in Xiuyan Courtyard, Xi Shan said that the envoy of Dali arrived in Beijing last night, and the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, Young Master Liu, beat the envoy of Dali Kingdom! ”
Ji Yunliu opened his mouth: "Dali envoy?"
The emperor's birthday is in the first month, and at the end of the year, the small countries near the Jokhang also have to pay tribute to the Jokhang according to the list, so the tribute to the dynasty and the emperor's birthday are carried out at the same time.
Last year, Jiangxia County suffered a natural disaster and rebelled, the emperor had no intention of living a life, this year the remnants of Dayue were removed, the East Palace was the master, and caught up with the emperor's fifty birthday, this birthday banquet to be lively.
After the emperor's birthday banquet, there were six princes waiting in line for the wedding, and everyone in the yamen was so busy that they flew up when they walked.
Ji Shangshu occasionally goes to the Ministry of Rites, and he always has to be glad that he is no longer on duty in the Ministry of Rites.
Jiuniang said: "It is the messenger of Dali State, the person from the second gate of Shicai came to say that the Lin people of Dali Temple have come over, and all the people of Dali have gone to Dali Temple to report the case." ”
Lin Mu was originally a scholar of the Criminal Department, but when he went out of Tongfu's affairs, he was demoted to an official position, and he became a third-grade Dali Siqing.
As Lord Lin, who originally wanted to resign and return to his hometown, he knew that this demotion was only in name, Dali Temple was in charge of the trial of criminal prison cases, and all matters of the Criminal Department had to be reviewed by Dali Temple, and the power of jurisdiction in his hands was a little broader than that of the Criminal Department.
"It's a big deal. The crown princess asked the prince if he had breakfast, and knew that Yu Heng had not had time to have breakfast, so she asked Jiu Niang to tell Su Ying to prepare some colorful glutinous rice and egg soup for Yu Heng to send over.
When Jiuniang sent breakfast over, in the study in Xiuyan Courtyard, Liu Dalang was kneeling on the ground complaining: "Then the envoy of Dali is a scumbag! I beat him because he was a scumbag! And where I was the only one who beat him, he also beat me!"
Liu Shangshu stood aside, and was shocked at his son: "He also beat you, you are standing here now, but people are about to die when they are lying on the bed, and in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, you dare to call the messenger a scum!"
"Dad, don't you know my hand strength, how can I beat someone to death!"
"It's not you who beat it, is it a ghost who can't beat it......"
The prince sat behind the table, flipping through the folds in his hands, and let the father and son under him "talk crepe".
Jiuniang knocked on the door, got the permission of the prince, came in in a whisper, put down the tray, opened the bowl lid and presented the rice and soup in front of Yuheng's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Niangniang knows that Your Highness has not had breakfast, so she specially asked the slave maid to send it over, and Niangniang also instructed the slave maid to let you take advantage of the heat, and there will be no taste when it is cold." ”
A group of people were coordinating the diplomacy of the two countries, and the maid here actually brought a colorful portion of rice, and the steaming and overflowing aroma made everyone stop their voices and look at the table.
The rice is placed on top of a delicate wooden steamer, and there is a small basin with hot water in the small basin, which is still steaming hot because of the cold weather.
Xie San had been in the prince's mansion for a long time, he knew the prince's temperament, and he was not afraid of him, so he swallowed a mouthful of water and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you glutinous rice?"
Yu Heng held on to his chopsticks and responded: "Well, colorful glutinous rice." ”
Xie Feiang saw that Jiu Niang took the food basket and was about to withdraw, so he hurriedly sighed, "I have a stomachache...... and wanted to go out with him, Liu Dalang was quick and grabbed him, "Brother Feiang...... "You can't die without help, leave me and run out to eat glutinous rice!"
Xie Sanyi stroked Liu Dalang's hand away: "Junkun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, as long as you tell the truth, if it wasn't for you, you will definitely be given justice!"
As he spoke, the whole person rushed over and threw himself out of the door, and then everyone in the house heard a voice outside, "Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang, I haven't used breakfast today, I'm hungry and have abdominal pain at this time, is there any colorful glutinous rice left in the kitchen?"
In the study, the prince held silver chopsticks in his hand, his movements were elegant, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all and ate breakfast in front of everyone.
It's all you! You can't sleep in the bed early in the morning, and you can't eat fragrant glutinous rice!
Liu Shangshu slapped his son and swept over: "Hurry up, what did you do yesterday to beat the envoy of the Dali Kingdom like that!"
Liu Junkun beat someone yesterday, and he didn't think it was serious, he had beaten King Jing before! Who knew that before he woke up, he was caught here by the people of Dali Temple, and at this time he knelt on the ground and knelt in front of the prince, and he didn't dare to hide half a point, and told all about yesterday's experience.
Yesterday he went to Heyue Tower for dinner, and met the messenger, who obviously had no seat in the building, and the messenger even grabbed a place with him.
Liu Dalang didn't agree, so the messenger went to the private room next to him to let others give way, and he heard the voice of a woman shouting in the private room next to him, so he jumped up directly and went to "Hero Save Beauty".
Lin Shangshu grasped the point: "You said that yesterday you had a dispute with the Dali envoy in that private room, and there were your little servants and the envoy's attendants, and the two girls in it can testify that you did not deal a heavy hand to the Dali envoy?"
"Exactly ......"
Liu Shangshu asked anxiously: "Who are those two girls, do you know?"
It's about his son's innocence, how can he not be in a hurry?
Liu Dalang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "How do I know those two girls, they are one master and one servant...... That girl must be a girl from a big official family, although she wears a weft hat on her head, and the clothes on her body are not owned by ordinary people. ”
Liu Shangshu wanted to give Liu Dalang a burst at the moment, Beijing is full of official families, there are more than 100 families if there are not thousands, how to find it!
As he was talking, Xi Shan hurriedly ran in: "Your Highness, the people from the post house came to report that the envoy of the Dali Kingdom died half an hour ago. ”
At this time, the prince didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, dropped his chopsticks, stood up in a moment, and swept over to Liu Dalang, who looked bewildered on the ground, with sharp eyes: "You clearly remember yesterday, when the envoy came out of Heyue Tower, he was fine?"
Liu Dalang was also frightened, and hurriedly said: "It's really fine! I can swear to God!"
The envoy of a country died in the capital of the Jokhang, this nature is completely different, and when beating people, it can be said with confidence that there will inevitably be friction between the two sides when they are hot-blooded, but the two countries have diplomatic relations, and a messenger has died, if this envoy plays a pivotal role in Dali, it is impossible to provoke a war between the two countries!
Dali Siqing also knew the seriousness of this matter, and immediately said: "Xiaguan will go to the post house in person!"
Yu Heng stretched out his hand to block the forest curtain, and walked in front of Liu Dalang in a few steps: "Now, if you can't think of it, you have to think about it, what is wrong with the Dali envoy and the fight!
……
The crown princess didn't know that the undercurrent in the study was surging, and she had breakfast alone in the room, and the people from the second gate came to say, "The county lord of Wenrui is here." ”
"The county lord came in person?" Ji Yunliu was slightly surprised, "Go and invite in!"
Saying that, Xia Xi prepared a cloak, took the stove and went to the second gate to greet people in person.
The county lord of Wenrui didn't go over the full moon banquet on the fourth day of the season, how could he come here to find her in person this time? Could it be related to the Dali envoy who was discussing in Yuheng's study?
Ji Yunliu thought of this, stretched out his finger and pinched a hexagram, and got a "red mouth".
Red mouth has the meaning of bad luck, fear, danger, and right and wrong.
Sure enough, it was not a happy event for the Dali envoy to come to Beijing.
Ji Yunliu sat in the sedan chair before he reached the second gate, the sedan chair man had already brought in the county lord of Wenrui, she lifted the curtain all the way, and when she saw Ji Yunliu's sedan chair, she immediately shouted to stop the sedan chair, and quickly got off the sedan chair, not caring about the heavy snow on the ground, she stepped on it and saw Ji Yunliu open the sedan curtain, and immediately shouted: "The princess Niangniang, the Dali envoy who was injured by the Liu family Lang for me, can't blame the Liu family Lang for this matter!"
The sky was snowing heavily, and the county lord of Wenrui didn't even put on a cloak, obviously he hurried over after hearing the news.
Ji Yunliu looked at her thin appearance, and hurriedly grabbed the person into his sedan chair: "On such a cold day, you don't have to wear one more piece to come over, even if you are worried, you should take care of yourself! The seventh master is not a tyrant, where would he execute the Liu family on the spot for hurting someone......"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiu Niang hurriedly came over from the outer courtyard, and saw that Ji Yunliu happened to be there, so she used her martial arts to half-fly and half-skim over and said, "Niangniang, the people over there just came the news that the Dali envoy in the post house is dead!"
"What!" the county lord of Wenrui was rude on the spot, and shouted, "He, how did he die!" "Impossible, Liu Dalang obviously doesn't seem to be able to beat people, or Liu Dalang was beaten all over the ground by the Dali envoy to find teeth!"
Ji Yunliu's face sank, and he asked Jiu Niang: "The prince also knows about this?"
"Exactly," Jiu Niang said, "Xi Shanshi said that the prince was only afraid that he would go to the post house in person later." ”
Ji Yunliu glanced at Wen Rui: "You go and tell the prince first, just say that the county lord of Wenrui is here, she may know some things related to this case, and I will wait for him in the south study of Xiuyan Courtyard with the county lord." ”
