Chapter Seventy-Five: Revealed
Hei Si and his entourage, as soon as they arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, were stopped by a group of Praetorian Guards. Black Four and Black Seven exchanged glances. Hei Si stepped forward and arched his hand towards the Praetorian Guard: "We are the black guards of the crown prince, coming from the formation to send a message back to Beijing." ”
Fang Lin, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, pointed to Hei Si and his party and said loudly: "I will be instructed by Your Majesty: collect the loot smuggled back and take down Er. ”
The people who followed to see the excitement were discussing: "The prince smuggled the spoils of war?" "Jingguo has been broken by the army led by the prince. "These are the treasures transported from the Jingguo Palace?" ......
Hei Si and his party were shocked, this was for the crown prince? Hei Qi stepped forward, intending to admit that this matter was his own personal doing. Call...... A white cat jumped on Black Seven's shoulder. Black Four and Black Seven were even more shocked: how could the white cat who followed the prince be here.
When Hei Si and Hei Qi were confused, the Praetorian Guards surrounded them, and the boxes on the carriage were pried open one by one.
The Praetorian Guards, who thought they would be able to catch the spoils on the spot, were dumbfounded when they saw the contents of the box. Each box contained large stones, where did the spoils come from? The people who watched the bustle also shut up, they did not dare to speak openly about His Majesty's Praetorian Guard.
Black Four's heart panicked: where did the loot go? He asked aloud, "Who said this is the spoils of war? These stones are also trophies?"
The Praetorian Guards lost face, and the leader Fang Lin asked angrily: "Bringing some stones back from such a big distance, can you eat it?"
Hei Qi bluffed: "We are desperately fighting on the battlefield and crawling out of the pile of dead people." I picked up a few stones and came back, and I was treated like a sinner by you. ”
Fang Lin was annoyed and angry: "If someone hadn't reported it to His Majesty, I would have come here to investigate?"
Hei Si said nonchalantly: "Then let's all go and meet Your Majesty, and make it clear in person." ”
Fang Lin could only take this group of people and a cart of stones to see His Majesty now. He silently turned his horse's head and led the Praetorian Guards to open the way, and Hei Si and his party followed behind with the carriage.
Black Four and Black Seven whispered: "Why is this happening?" The two looked at it: "You?" Daysun looked at them arrogantly: What do you think?
Black Four and Black Seven looked at each other, this thing was too weird.
His Majesty and the eldest princess stood on the high place of the Taiji Palace, watching from afar as the group entered the palace. A shadow guard walked up to His Majesty and whispered to His Majesty that something had happened outside Chang'an City. Knowing that the carriage was filled with stones and not trophies, a sneer appeared on the corner of His Majesty's mouth.
He said to the eunuch behind him, "Go and call Feng Ling here." The eunuch took the order and hurried away.
The eldest princess straightened her waist and looked proud: Zhenguo Mansion, your disrespect to this palace, this palace wants to let you be buried with all over the house. Hmph, prince, whoever asked you to marry the daughter of the prince of Zhenguo, then you will die with them.
His Majesty saw the expression of the eldest princess, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth turned into a low smile. His Majesty was very angry in his heart, and the eldest princess trampled on her bottom line again and again. Now he actually came to provoke the relationship between himself and the prince who was fighting in front of the battle, and wanted to use his own hand to get rid of the Zhenguo Gong Manmen who was fighting for himself in front of the battle. In this extraordinary period, doing such things is completely a wolf's ambition.
Feng Ling hurried along with the eunuch who summoned her. The concubine had already asked Xiao Zhao to send a message to Feng Ling: The eldest princess reported to His Majesty that the prince smuggled the spoils back to Beijing, and His Majesty took people with the Praetorian Guard.
Feng Ling saluted His Majesty and the eldest princess, and the eldest princess snorted and ignored Feng Ling. His Majesty didn't speak, only raised his forehead at Feng Ling, and Feng Ling got up and stood aside.
His Majesty said casually: "Crown Princess, do you know about the prince transporting things back to Beijing?"
"Back to my father, the minister knows about this. ”
"Do you know what it's transporting?"
"It's not a precious thing...... the eldest princess snorted coldly, interrupting Feng Ling's words.
Feng Ling took the opportunity to stop her mouth, she didn't know what the things she had brought back had been replaced by the day.
His Majesty glanced at the eldest princess, turned his head and didn't ask Feng Ling again.
Fang Lin led the Praetorian Guards and his party dismounted before entering the Taiji Palace, and Fang Lin walked towards His Majesty alone. The convoy of Hei Si and his party was waiting in front of the Taiji Palace, waiting for His Majesty's announcement.
Fang Lin walked in front of His Majesty, knelt down on one leg and arched his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister brought the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and brought back the goods they pulled. ”
His Majesty asked, "Are they carrying booty?"
Fang Lin shook his head: "No." ”
The eldest princess turned her head violently when she heard this, and the other party Lin glared angrily: "Bold, dare to conceal and cover up the same crime." ”
Your Majesty was angry: In front of me, the eldest princess dared to be so arrogant, she forgot whose world it was. He said indifferently: "Pull things up and check them in person." ”
Fang Lin waved his hand downward, and the Praetorian Guards and Hei Si walked neatly towards His Majesty.
Everyone knelt down in front of His Majesty and said loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
"Get up. ”
"What's in it, open it. His Majesty pointed to the box.
Hei Si said respectfully: "Obey the order." ”
Black Four turned around and motioned for the guards to open all the boxes. After opening one box after another, His Majesty looked at the contents of the box, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper; the eldest princess turned pale and trembled all over her body when she saw it; Feng Ling saw that the box was full of stones, and her eyes turned around, revealing a happy expression.
His Majesty pointed to the stones in the box and asked the eldest princess, "The stones are also trophies?"
The eldest princess didn't know why such a thing happened, could it be that she sent someone to keep an eye on the prince's matter, and was discovered by the prince, and deliberately set up this bureau?: "Yes, yes, it is this bureau set up by the prince, harming, harming the palace." ”
Feng Ling took a step forward, looked at the stones, turned around and knelt down to plead guilty: "Emperor Bing, these stones were brought back by the son-in-law, and the prince's mansion lacks a rockery." Ask the father and the emperor to condemn the sons. ”
His Majesty laughed. The eldest princess's face became whiter and whiter, her body shook and she was unsteady on her feet, and her maid did not dare to step forward to help.
"Very good, very good, the stone is also a trophy, and I have become a joke. He suppressed his smile, stared at the eldest princess and asked, "Eldest princess, what kind of crime do you say I will condemn the crown princess?"
"Minister...... Ignorance. ”
"Humph!"
His Majesty turned around and asked Hei Si: "Aren't you tired of pulling stones from so far to come back?"
Hei Si replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the next cadre and others need a strong physique to be born and die on the battlefield. This time, I went back to Beijing to deliver letters, transported equipment to the front, returned empty, and pulled some stones as exercises when I had nothing to do. ”
His Majesty nodded, and he asked, "What about the letters?"
Hei Si took out a letter from his bosom and knelt down to present it. A eunuch took the letter and handed it to His Majesty.
His Majesty opened it and read the letter written to him by the crown prince, which wrote how the army broke through Jingcheng and captured how many people from the Jingguo royal family were captured. The army will go to Ningguo in the near future, and strive to take Ningguo and dominate the world before the year.
His Majesty burst out laughing, his laughter echoing through the vast Taiji Palace Square.
He was very excited, he would expand his territory and dominate the world in his lifetime. This is the greatest wish of all emperors in their lives. He made several decrees in succession:
"Xuanzuo and right enter the palace to discuss matters"
"Give the crown princess a thousand taels of gold and a few jewels. Send craftsmen to build a rockery in the prince's mansion. ”
"The eldest princess was punished for a year, and she thought about it behind closed doors. ”
And they knelt down to hear.
The eldest princess fainted after hearing His Majesty's will. His Majesty gave her a cold look, turned and left.
Fang Lin walked past her without squinting and followed behind His Majesty. Fang Lin was His Majesty's henchman, and he knew that the eldest princess had completely angered His Majesty. He secretly praised the prince in his heart: This trick will be used well.
