Hearing the emperor's question, Huang Qiong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Father Emperor Mingjian, my son went back a few days ago because of some things. Seeing this Jing Zhaoyin, it was really majestic. The few errand servants who were killed by your cane in the world, Jingzhao Mansion actually had to collect a kind of pension money for every household. ”

And the few who replied to his father's words that day, an old man was shackled to death in Jingzhao Mansion. The young man was arrested and put in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and when he was snatched out by Erchen, he only had half a life left. It's that Lizheng, if they didn't still need it, and only gave twenty whips, I'm afraid they would have been beaten to death in Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"Erchen was in order to save the young man named Liu Hu from the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, so he clashed with that Jingzhaoyi. Erchen didn't want to interfere with the local department, but he was really helpless. If Erchen had been a day at night, judging from the injuries on that Liu Hu's body, I am afraid that he would have died. ”

"If your father doesn't believe me, you can ask for it yourself. The one named Liu Hu is now recuperating from his injuries here. Speaking of which, Huang Qiong told the emperor exactly what happened that day. He didn't hide anything, because he knew that even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide it.

Although Huang Qiong promised that Jing Zhaoyin, the matter would be over, and he would not do any investigation. But today, the emperor took the initiative to ask, and he didn't take the initiative to mention it himself. Since the old man took the initiative to ask, he can't deceive the king, that's a big crime. I tell the truth today, but I can't complain about myself.

Who told you to be too arrogant to be Jing Zhaoyin, and you didn't inquire, and you took all these guards yourself? still sticks to the old ideas, and thinks they are those people sent by the prince. It's not that I don't want to hide it for you, I can't hide it, can I? The emperor can endure these few days, which is already very face-saving for you.

"Do you really have something to do? The son of a concubine and her ex-husband, can you still be accompanied by a dignified county king? Are you so confused to practice the face of the heavenly family, or are you really so easy to fool me? Don't think I don't understand your thoughts, isn't it just that I took a fancy to that Liu Hu's skills and started to solicit them. ”

"Do you really think that I didn't see the intention that you deliberately left your address that day and repeatedly told him to come to you for something? If you don't have the heart to recruit, with your sleek energy, even if you want to stand up for the local people, you will definitely not openly conflict with a well-established Congsanpin Jing Zhaoyin in front of the people. ”

Obviously, the emperor was very dissatisfied with Huang Qiong's excuse. Although the contact with this son has not been very long, the emperor obviously has a general understanding of his son's character. In his understanding, this son is not a tendon, even if he wants to ask for the people's life, he will not be so straightforward.

As soon as the emperor said this, Huang Qiong hurriedly said: "Please forgive my father, my son really just wanted to visit those people at that time, and he didn't have any other thoughts." Erchen was worried that Jing Zhaoyin was unwilling to suffer such a big loss at the beginning. He naturally didn't dare to settle accounts with his father, but if he was angry with the people who replied that day, it would be easy. ”

"If it is said that the sons had the intention of recruiting at that time, the sons did admit it. But that was then, and now my father had re-selected the guards for his sons. With the people around his father to protect his son, his son now feels safe and tight, and there is no need for that for a long time. If the sons can't even trust their father, who else in this world can make the sons trust? ”

"All right, get up. I'm not trying to pursue this matter, and I'm not angry about it, I want you to be honest. If you come to deceive me, who else can I trust? If you like this person, wait until he recovers from his injuries and stay in your house. Afterwards, you gave me a fold, and I rewarded him with a guard, which can be regarded as fulfilling your dignity. ”

It's just that after Huang Qiong heard the emperor's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and just stood up. The emperor changed the topic, and his next words almost didn't scare him: "Recently, there was a sudden rumor in the palace that your mother is a martial artist. is enough to be included in the list of several masters in the world. ”

"Whether your mother is or not, I have been a husband and wife with her for so many years, and I still know in my heart. It's just that I haven't found out where the source came from. I also tell you today, you don't have to worry about anything, you can do some things as you do. Sometimes hiding it can make people more suspicious. ”

The emperor's words made Huang Qiong secretly taken aback, but also confused Huang Qiong. He didn't figure out the true intention of the emperor's words for a while. I didn't know if the emperor believed or didn't believe this rumor? Obviously, the emperor Lao Tzu didn't know about his mother's martial arts.

I once heard Chen Yao mention that her mother was a martial arts master, but her grandfather and her biological father didn't know about it. Presumably, with his mother's personality, he didn't let his grandfather know, let alone let his emperor, know it. Otherwise, with his suspicious personality as his father, I am afraid that he would have been closely monitored by masters inside and outside Xue Xuan over the years.

However, remembering the scene of his peeping that day, Huang Qiong was a little more confused about what he said to the emperor Lao Tzu. My parents are not as my mother said, and they don't have any real feelings for each other. But if there is, with the old man's personality, it is not that he can't find any clues.

But if you really know something, will the old man still be as calm as he is today? Is there anything else hidden between them? When the old man said this today, did he want to be sure of something? Huang Qiong, who didn't understand the old man's true intentions for a while, couldn't help but be a little stunned.

However, although he didn't understand the old man's true intentions in his heart, Huang Qiong's face did not show anything. just said lightly: "Father, the rumors stop at the wise." Whether this matter is true or not, the son wants his father to have his own sense of proportion. At this time, there were any rumors against Erchen, but Erchen was not surprised. ”

"Erchen did something sloppy a few days ago, I'm afraid I offended some people. Some people know that what they are doing is too dirty, and they want to take revenge on their ministers openly, and in the unlikely case, they come up with such a debate method. Erchen believes that with the wisdom of his father, he will not be fooled by this. As long as the father doesn't believe it, the son naturally has nothing to worry about. ”

"However, if the rumor-monger were to stand in front of Erchen, Erchen would have to ask him, what would it be like if he was confined in a place where he could only see the slap of the sky, and he couldn't see anyone except for those few walls, and he would be in a pass for eighteen years? In this world, there is that martial arts master who can endure such loneliness? ”

"Although Erchen doesn't know martial arts, he also knows the abilities of some of these people. If the mother is really like what they rumored, she is a martial arts master. Erchen wanted to ask, what cold palace in this world can lock her up? What's more, it's eighteen years to go through one level? If he hadn't experienced that kind of life, how could he know that anyone could endure it? ”

"Erchen is selfless in his heart, and the world is wide, and the rumors and nothing are a threat to Erchen, not to mention this kind of thing that can't come to the table. The son did not ask his father to find out who had spread this rumor. Just ask the father and the emperor not to be suspicious of his son, and the son will already be content. ”

"As for doing things, Erchen has never thought of being timid. Some things, from the day Erchen did it, some consequences have been thought of. Because of three or two rumors, he retreated and didn't do anything, which was not the way of the ministers. Being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner is the true style of Erchen. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at the face of the emperor in front of him, and finally swallowed the two sentences that the latter was behind, not to mention that even in the palace, it was easy to kill a few negative people, and some people had only been locked up for three years, and their bodies collapsed.

As for who spread this rumor, he didn't want to guess, and he didn't want to guess. The rumors originated in the palace, except for his brothers, especially the crown prince, who has such great ability? And the backstage of Jing Zhaoyin is unfortunately the crown prince of the dynasty. This rumor spread after the incident that day, do you still need to guess something?

Hearing Huang Qiong's words, half of them were defending themselves, and half of them were showing their attitude. Especially the last sentence of being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner, the emperor couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. Although Huang Qiong's words did not show it, the contempt for the main messenger behind the scenes revealed in his bones made the emperor uncomfortable.

From Huang Qiong's words, he heard that his ninth son had already guessed the identity of the main messenger behind the rumor. In fact, the source of this rumor is really not very difficult to guess. The timing of this rumor is a bit too coincidental. With this son's intelligence, it is not too difficult to judge the ins and outs of the whole incident.

It was himself, although he killed a few rumored eunuchs, he didn't find out where the rumors came from. But the mastermind behind the whole thing, how could he, as a generation of emperors, not guess it? Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, what kind of heart does his son have, and where will he, the same son of Lao, be unclear?

can understand his son's character, but after all, he was painstakingly educated by himself, and he has been the prince for seventeen years. was actually despised by a son who had just been out of the palace for less than half a year, and it was the kind of contempt from the heart. If you want to say that the emperor is comfortable in his heart, no one will believe it if he changes.

It's just that no matter how uncomfortable he feels in his heart, the emperor has to endure this matter. If you are not as good as people, you are not as good as people. Rao is the emperor who thinks he is bold and resolute, and he has to admit that the prince he painstakingly educated is really too far from the nine sons educated by his ex-wife.

Looking at Huang Qiong's equally resolute face in front of him, thinking of the prince who had become more and more disappointed in recent years, the emperor could only shake his head and smile bitterly. I secretly sighed in my heart, if the prince has half of this son's quick wisdom and seventy percent of his character, why has he held on to power all these years?

In the past few years, those ministers in the court who are close to the crown prince have written to themselves more than once. said that the crown prince is getting older, and as the prince, it is advisable to participate more in state affairs in order to accumulate more experience in handling political affairs. I also thought about delegating some power and letting the prince participate in some political affairs. It's a pity that what the prince did, he left him with nothing but disappointment.
