120.Chapter 120
took his wife out for a walk, and as a result, he spread such a heartfelt matter, and His Royal Highness the Prince's face was very ugly. After leaving the Xiangzhi Temple, the prince deliberately took Su Yan into the forest path, divided the guards and palace maids into two teams, and a guard and the palace maid changed the clothes of the two and returned from the original way, while the prince and Su Yan took another road and went around a big circle before returning to the imperial city.
As soon as he stepped into the road, the prince slowed down the reins, and talked and laughed with Su Yan with great interest.
"Seventh brother is so interested?" As soon as King An saw the prince, he smiled and drove the horse over, and when he saw Su Yan beside the prince, he lowered his head slightly, hugged his fists to his chest, and saluted "seven brothers and sisters".
Su Yan turned to the side, and immediately owed a debt, and returned the salute, "Second brother." â
The prince pressed all the anxiety, held the high-ranking prince's style, and said lightly: "What a coincidence, I actually met the second brother." â
King An shook the horsewhip in his hand, "Seventh brother, it's rare to meet today, how about a drink?" Recently, a new restaurant was opened in Dongshi, and the authentic Jiangnan cuisine was made, and the most amazing thing was the three white wines in their building, all of which were home-brewed, which were still mellow and luscious than those in the palace. The seventh brother and sister also came, I heard that you have been in Jiangnan for a long time, and I must be happy."
"Thank you for the kindness of the second brother, I still have something to do today, and I will set up a banquet to invite the second brother to eat and drink in the future." The crown prince arched his hand at King An, "Farewell." â
Seeing that the prince insisted on leaving, King An couldn't stop him, so he just smiled, "The second brother is waiting for the seventh brother's invitation." When the prince and his entourage walked away, King An slapped his palm with a horsewhip, and asked the guards around him with a smile: "Xiaotian, where did you say that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back from?" â
The baby-faced guard closest to King An replied with a smile: "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take the crown princess to hunt, his subordinates really saw it." â
"Yes, hunting." King An casually patted the guard's shoulder, "You see it well." â
The prince and Su Yan leisurely walked back to the East Palace, Su Yan went to freshen up and change clothes, the prince hurriedly took care of himself, entered the inner room and kissed his beloved wife, and said: "Qingqing, I will come back late tonight or not, don't wait for me, go to bed first." "If it is really as they guessed, there is an eighty percent chance that the prince will stay in the Taiji Hall tonight.
Su Yan nodded clearly, "Qilang will go by himself, I will handle the family affairs by myself, you don't have to worry about it." By the way, the prey we hunted today, remember to bring some to my father. â
"Okay." The prince shook Su Yan's hand tightly before turning to leave. After he left the dormitory, he did not rush to leave, but called the commander of another guard who had gone out with their husband and wife today, and whispered for a while before leaving with confidence. In the Xiangzhi Temple incident, the women who have been there will be more or less implicated, and he can't let people use this incident to affect the reputation of his beloved wife.
The emperor was in the imperial garden, half-squinting to listen to the beauty playing the kite, behind him and on the side of the leg there was a delicate palace maid, stretched out a tender little hand to rub his shoulders and beat his legs, and another gentle beauty, with a slender jade finger twisted a purple red grape peeled and seeded, and then sent into the emperor's mouth.
Jia Xi felt that he was standing not far away, a little eunuch hurriedly came over, attached to his ear and whispered a few words, Jia Xi waved his hand, asked him to step back, and then moved his steps, walked to the emperor's side, half-bent down, and said softly: "Sage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see." â
The emperor opened his eyes in surprise, "Didn't he take the crown princess out to play?" What time is it that you are willing to come back? â
Jia Xi said with a smile: "I heard Xiao Xu Zi say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess went hunting, and His Royal Highness sent you prey." "In the old days, it was the saints who went out to hunt and rewarded the prince with the prey they caught. Today is the other way around, the prince brought the prey to honor the saint, and the saint will be very happy to think of it.
Sure enough, as he expected, the emperor couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth when he heard it, and he pretended to be disgusted and said: "He took the crown princess out to play, and occasionally hit something, just keep it for himself, and give me something, I don't have anything here." â
Jia Xi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always keeps the saint in mind......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by the emperor and said: "What are you talking about here, old slave, please come over." â
"Yes, yes, the old slave will go." Jia Xi hurriedly personally led people to welcome the prince, leaving Jia Le to serve the emperor.
The emperor sat up straight and planned with great interest: "A few days ago, I heard that the prince brought those little rabbit cubs to roast meat in the garden, and today we will also roast one." â
Grill any meat, and you will drink porridge in a while.
The crown prince strode over and saluted, "I've seen my father." â
Hey, why is it so formal? The emperor, who hadn't enjoyed such a serious appearance of the prince for a long time, was a little flattered for a while. "Shichiro is here, come and sit." The emperor was still thinking about the idea that it would be good to bring his sons in a while and barbecue them together.
The prince came, and the eunuchs and palace maids, including the two low-level palace concubines present, all stood up and saluted. The palace people said that the two young low-level palace concubines, after saluting, stood in place at a loss, not knowing whether they should continue or avoid it.
"Why did the zither stop, and keep playing." The emperor came back to his senses and asked unhappily.
"Yes." Jiang Cainu, who was playing the kite, hurriedly sat down, plucked her bare hands, and the soft tune sounded again.
The prince's sword eyebrows tightened, "Daddy, the sons have something to tell you, let them go down." Besides, what kind of play is this, you can still listen to it. â
Emperor:...... Lao Tzu has been tired for several days, and he can't relax with the little wives. But seeing his son's stern expression, he sat up straight and waved his hand, "You all go down." â
The two girls saluted and left with a little grievance, they were such little concubines, I don't know how long they had to stay in the harem before they could see the emperor. It's easy to get the edict today, and before I get along with the emperor for long, I was disrupted by the prince, and I don't know when I will have such an opportunity next time.
The little concubine left, and the palace maids and eunuchs also felt that they had retreated to a zhang away, and the emperor said angrily: "If there is anything, say it." â
The crown prince felt a little embarrassed, so he simply called the commander of the guards who had been sent to check before, and asked him to talk directly to the emperor.
The emperor was a little strange, "What is it that makes you so rare to be like this?" I'll have to tell you for you. â
The prince said sullenly: "Daddy, you have to promise your son, don't be angry for a while." â
"What's the matter, I'm angry?" The emperor waved his hand very indifferently, "Okay, I'm not angry, let's say it quickly." â
The commander of the guards knelt on the ground, with a swarthy face, and told the story 1510, "When the minister passed, the princess of the county had already miscarried, and the monk Hongzhi was seriously injured by the sword of the king of the county who pierced the shoulder. Before the princess fainted, she pointed at the princess and scolded some ugly words. "The commander of the guards is about to regret his death, how did he encounter this today, especially the words said by the princess of the county, he happened to hear it clearly, and half of the sentence was missed. You say, what is he doing when he runs so fast, and if he takes two steps slower, he won't be able to hear it all.
The emperor was so angry that his face changed color, and the green tendons on his forehead collapsed, and he tried his best to suppress his anger, and said word by word: "What did the cheap woman say?" â
"Minister, minister, minister is really hard to say." The commander of the guards was about to die, and after learning the words of the princess of Pingjiang County, he was afraid that the emperor would riot and kill him directly.
The Emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Say it, I will forgive you for your innocence." â
"Yes." The commander of the guards shook his head, gritted his teeth, and was ruthless before he spoke: "The princess of Pingjiang County said that the princess of Pingjiang County has a good male style, and he is also the respect of the king of the county, and he is under the female servant, which is disgusting. He had already embellished his words, and the original words of the princess of Pingjiang County made him, a big man, feel unspeakable when he heard it.
The emperor's face was now normal, he was no longer panting, and his hands were not trembling. The prince rushed to the emperor's side in fright, and he was so anxious that he changed his voice, "Daddy, Daddy, if you want to be angry, just rush out to your son, don't hold back." â
The emperor patted his son on the shoulder, "Shichiro doesn't have to be afraid, Daddy's body is tough." â
The crown prince carefully looked at the emperor's complexion, and saw that he was indeed the same as usual, so he hesitated to sit back in place, and his eyes were still staring at the emperor uneasily.
Being so nervous by his son, the emperor's anger eased a lot, and his heart was extremely appropriate, "Is there a big problem?" "I just heard him say that the place where the incident happened was near the retreat place where the Xiangzhi Temple presided over, and there were not many people. Now the emperor hopes that things are still under control and not too many people will know about it. This is a royal scandal, and he really can't afford to lose face.
"The guards of the county king's mansion have sealed the back garden, and not too many people know about it. When we left, we also walked through the side door. â
"Where's the King of Pingjiang?"
"The minister escorted the county king and the county princess back to the palace."
"Since this matter is done by you, everything is extraordinary, the two masters, I will give you a team of people, and immediately seal the Xiangfang Temple, and half of the people are not allowed to run out."
"Yes." The commander of the guards replied.
The order was received here, and the emperor called again: "Jia Ping, you go to the palace of Pingjiang County, pass on my secret decree, and give Pingjiang County Princess Zhang to commit suicide." â
"Yes."
"Tell Qin Ziye again, let me stay in the county king's mansion honestly, I don't want to see him." The emperor said lightly. Don't look at the old emperor's calm face now, his heart has already been swiped by the word "lying down". Mom, there are a lot of gentlemen in Kyoto, and he's seen everything, but he really hasn't seen the king of Pingjiang County. Good male style, although it is not a good hobby, but most people nowadays are like this, so forget it. Why don't you play with men, but like to be played by men, which really makes the emperor incomprehensible.
The emperor issued several orders in a row, trying to suppress this ugly matter, and when everything was dealt with, he was in the mood to solemnly instruct his son, "You and the crown princess only went hunting today, and did not go to Xiangzhi Temple." Although he has made people suppress this matter, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and he has to protect the reputation of the crown prince and the crown princess from being smeared by those who have a heart.
The prince said: "Daddy, don't worry, these sons and daughters can save it." Yan Yan there, you don't have to worry. â
"Hmm." The emperor believed that the son he raised would definitely handle it, and even had confidence in Su Yan, the daughter-in-law, who was just habitually giving one more advice.
The night was quiet, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell on the solemn palace city, draped on the faces of the armored guards.
In the Taiji Palace, the emperor sat expressionlessly behind the imperial case, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire palace were silent, and even their breathing was put to the lightest, for fear that one would accidentally anger the emperor.
"Jia Xi, go and see, haven't you brought it back yet?" The prince frowned and stopped.
At this time, the father and son did not know that there would be several explosive news that would hit them.
Jiang Han, the commander of the guards with a team of Yulin Army, encountered the greatest resistance in the process of blockading the Xiangzhi Temple to take people, which made him especially want to ask God if he couldn't get by alone today.
Jiang Han's resistance came from Princess Xin'an, as a princess who became a relative and built a mansion outside the palace, she was undoubtedly very free, except for entering the palace to greet Concubine De, the rest of the time was either to set up a banquet in the mansion or to go shopping. Master Honghui of Xiangzhi Temple said that Princess Xin'an must arrive every time, and she will stay in Xiangzhi Temple for several days. Today, as the case is, as soon as Honghui's vulgar lecture ended, he was recruited by Princess Xin'an to his courtyard, plus Honghui's eldest disciple, a very handsome young monk, the three of them drank and had fun, until Jiang Han sealed the Xiangzhi Temple, and brought people in with a black face to get people.
Every time Princess Xin'an went to Xiangzhi Temple, she also took the guards in her house to block the vicinity of her courtyard. As soon as Jiang Han brought people over, the guards of the princess's mansion came to pull people. The black light was blinding, Jiang Han deliberately didn't let his subordinates hold torches, and the guards of the princess's mansion really didn't recognize the person wearing the costume of the Yulin Army at first, but just drove people away in a cold and hard tone, "There are nobles living here, so you can retreat." â
Elegant! There are a lot of nobles they have found here today. Jiang Han didn't take it seriously at first, and said more stubbornly than the other party: "A certain person was ordered by the emperor to take someone, and you waited to get out of the way." â
I rub! Better than Lao Tzu! The guards of the princess's mansion impatiently revealed their identities, "Princess Xin'an is here, there is no thief you want to take, and you will not retreat!" â
Jiang Han was really dumbfounded, he led people to quietly surround the Xiangzhi Temple, and entered the temple in the dark. took people all the way to catch and ask all the way, he picked up the important ones first, and he didn't make much movement, and there were not many people who were alarmed. In addition, the temple had just finished the evening class, and the monks all fell asleep, and they were blocked, and it was easy for the people in front of them to catch almost it, and it was only a little before they found out that there was no Honghui master and apprentice.
Jiang Han brought a few monks to interrogate, and after a few sticks, someone confessed, saying that Honghui's master and apprentice were accompanying the distinguished guests in the guest house. Jiang Han's eyes lit up, distinguished guest? No matter how expensive it is, it is not more expensive than the princess of the county. Let's go, let's go get people, and by the way, we can see some fresh ones.
Right now, Jiang Han's previous excitement is gone, and he regrets it, why did he come in person! If only he hadn't gossiped so much and didn't like to have fun so much. It's a pity that there is no turning back when he opens the bow, so he can only bite the bullet.
"Commander, what should I do?" Yu Linjun, who followed Jiang Han to arrest people, was also stupid, and caught the traitor on the head of the emperor's daughter, and their future is bright.
Before Jiang Han could figure out what to do, the guards of the princess's mansion came over impatiently to push him, and the two approached, only to find that the service of the person who came was so familiar!
"Feather Forest Army!" I don't know who exclaimed, and then was silenced by his companions.
The guards in the princess's mansion were also entangled, why did they just talk so quickly and report the princess's name, is it useless to change their words now to say that they are impersonating?
Jiang Han gritted his teeth, "Go, find someone to go back to the palace and report to the emperor and the crown prince truthfully." "He'll have to ask for instructions, and then what to do. At that time, the best way to do it was to go in, slaughter Honghui's master and apprentice, and then let the princess go home overnight to bury this matter. But the order given to him by the emperor and the crown prince was to close the temple and arrest people, and without the emperor's order, he really didn't dare to act rashly. This was originally an unfortunate errand, and now he does not seek merit but no fault. If you want to save your own life, you must not make your own opinions, and it is necessary to ask for instructions on everything.
When the two parties confronted each other, the guards of the princess's mansion also quietly sent someone to inform Princess Xin'an. Princess Xin'an and Honghui's master and apprentice had been drinking for most of the afternoon and a night's drink, and they were already drunk and unconscious, and they fell asleep with the two monks hugging each other.
The personal palace maid anxiously came in and pushed this, pushed that, and didn't wake up, so she had to go back and say to the guard: "The princess is so drunk that she can't wake up at all." â
"You carry the princess out, and we will go home overnight." The guard said anxiously. Now, they take the princess away, and the Yulin Army shouldn't care. As long as you go home, there is no proof of it.
The palace maids pulled out Princess Xin'an's naked body with all their hands and feet, and they didn't even dare to light the lamp, and dressed Princess Xin'an in the dark before carrying her out. The drunken people were extraordinarily heavy, and the palace maid who carried the person was so tired that she was sweating, and she didn't dare to pant loudly, so it was easy to get Princess Xin'an out of the door, and the palace maid who carried the person was spread on the spot.
"Put the princess on your back, and let's go." The head of the guards of the princess's mansion pointed to a guard at random, and he went to the front.
Princess Xin'an came by car, got the car in the dark, put Princess Xin'an in the car, and walked to the side door as soon as possible. Jiang Han silently watched as he took Princess Xin'an away, and even called the people around him to open the way for the people in the princess's mansion. When Princess Xin'an's carriage left the side door safely and disappeared into the dark mountain forest, Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent the plague god away.
The forbidden army who was sent back to the palace to report the news also saw the emperor, "Sage, Commander Jiang asked the little one to come back and report the news, and in the Xiangzhi Temple, I met Princess Xin'an." The voice of the forbidden army is getting quieter and quieter, and the four words of Princess Xin'an are like mosquitoes, almost inaudible.
The emperor's ears were very good at this time, and no matter how small the voice was, it was like thunder in his ears. He clenched his fists hard and smashed on the bookcase, "Xin'an, this evil girl! â
The prince said calmly: "Daddy, now is not the time to be angry, let someone quietly send Xin'an back to the house." Su Yan mentioned to him before that Princess Xin'an often went to Xiangfang Temple in order to conceive a child. He was still hesitating to tell the emperor, but who knew that the news brought by Jiang Han was too strong, so he didn't dare to tell his father again. Who would have thought, things are so coincidental, Xin'an actually stayed overnight in Xiangzhi Temple, and was caught by Jiang Han.
"Yes, you immediately go back to tell your commander and send Xin'an back to his home, I don't want anyone to know that Xin'an has appeared in Xiangzhi Temple." The implication of the emperor's hint is obvious, let Jiang Han directly kill the people who know about it, and there is no need to bring it back.
"Yes." The forbidden army who got the holy order retreated as soon as possible, and after leaving the main hall, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and temporarily picked up a small life.
After Jiang Han left Princess Xin'an, he rushed into the house as soon as possible and tied up Honghui's master and apprentice, who were drunk like dead dogs. He didn't dare to open the knife in advance, and sat in the room, waiting for the emperor's order.
It's easy to wait for the emperor's order, Jiang Han waved his hand, only listening to the two sounds of "poof" and "poof", and Honghui's master and apprentice died immediately. The forbidden army, who shot the murder, drew a knife from the chest of the two men, wiped the blood on the sheet on one side, and put the knife into the sheath.
Jiang Han cautiously stretched out his hand to probe the snort and pulse of the two, and after confirming that they were dead, he ordered: "Pull the two of them and let's go." â
Honghui's master and apprentice were still naked, Jiang Han felt that it was really indecent, so he asked the forbidden army to pull the curtain on the bed, wrap the two tightly, and then drag them out.
There are still things that know about Princess Xin'an and Honghui's master and apprentice, and they must be silenced. This night, the blood-stained Xiangfang Temple, Jiang Han led people to search the temple up and down, and got countless gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a secret letter with precious pearls and jade. Jiang Han asked people to seal everything and put it on the car that was searched from the temple, and then threw the dead into the meditation room, sprinkled vegetable oil everywhere, and let people set a fire, and suddenly the entire Xiangzhi Temple turned into a sea of fire.
On the horizon, just white, Jiang Han looked back at the Xiangzhi Temple in the sea of fire, his expression was dark and difficult to see.
"Commander, it's time for us to go."
"Let's go." Jiang Han turned on his horse and protected more than a dozen cars. This time, they only brought back a part of the gold and silver, and the part that was originally stored in the underground treasury of ZĂ i was not touched, and he only brought people back to get it after returning to the palace to restore his life.
The emperor and the crown prince sat all night, and the entire Taiji Hall was terrifyingly quiet, only occasionally hearing the "crackling" sound when the lights burst on.
The palace people stood stunned all night like wooden people, including the head of the Taiji Palace
When the morning sun was full of sunrise in the east, the emperor slowly got up, walked out of the main hall, looked at the east, and sighed softly: "It's dawn." â
"Daddy, don't be angry and anxious, things will always pass." The crown prince stood beside the emperor and said softly.
The emperor's gaze was as deep as the sea: "Yes, it will always pass!" â
