Chapter Seventy-Four: The Emperor is in a Bad Mood
After listening to Huang Qiong's words, the emperor glanced at Huang Qiong with ulterior motives, but shook his head and said, "Now I won't go there, just wait here for someone from his Jingzhao Mansion to come to the door." I want to see how he Jingzhao Mansion makes me peel off my skin? After that, he didn't pay attention to Huang Qiong, and sat down on a stone on the side of the road without looking at Huang Qiong.
Huang Qiong, who was swept to the heart by the emperor's glance, although she was full of reluctance, she still walked up to the emperor and whispered: "Father, we came out secretly this time after all." If it really makes trouble in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, it will cause a sensation again. Yushitai must be an endless fold again, and you have nothing to do to find faults, aren't you annoyed? ”
"For this little thing, you can send a eunuch to Jingzhao Mansion. Your next will, not to mention a cheap brother-in-law who can't be beaten by eight poles, is his own father Wuchang Hou, doesn't he have to do it? Why do you have to make a storm all over the city, and put yourself and yourself in the air here? ”
"If you are angry with the dragon body, this son really can't afford it. You also know that your son is timid and cannot stand the fright. Also, if you wait until Jing Zhaoyin comes, this matter will be extremely simple to solve. But the problem is that in the future, we will imagine that we will be shopping as unrestrained as we are today, but it is basically impossible. ”
"The most important thing is that it is easy to remove that Jing Zhaoyin, but the new officials who can be replaced may think that the source of the trouble is these displaced people. As you can hear from these people today, they have no way to survive when they return to their hometowns. Once the displaced people are forcibly driven back to their hometowns, it is not possible to provoke a popular uprising. Also, once these people are driven out of Beijing, I am afraid that the Wuthering Mountains and forests will become a big disaster. ”
So according to what his son saw, it would be better to send someone to Jingzhao Mansion and do this matter quietly. As for that Jing Zhaoyin, we can wait and see the after-effects. After a while, you send someone to take a look. If that Jing Zhaoyin is still the same, we will be able to deal with him in time. ”
"As for the relationship between Jing Zhaoyin and the crown prince, the son thought it was just that guy's boasting, and it shouldn't be true. One of his concubines' brothers would know these secret things. It is estimated that he wants to pull the prince's tiger skin as a banner and scare some of the people here. ”
Just kidding, if the emperor really tossed Jing Zhaoyin over, then the crown prince would definitely know about today's events immediately. And with that prince's character, no matter what the reason for today's incident is, I am afraid that he will immediately take himself as the culprit. That Jing Zhaoyin is the prince's descendant, the emperor knows whether Huang Qiong does not dare to judge, but Huang Qiong himself knows it clearly.
Huang Qiong can conclude that a considerable part of the money that Jing Zhaoyin made from here probably went into the prince's pocket. If that Jing Zhaoyin was removed from his post because of this, the prince would not have to hate himself to death? Huang Qiong said that he couldn't believe it, but his early experience told him that the accuracy of the old man's words was likely to be more than ninety percent.
The most important thing is that everyone was trying their best to suppress and cover up the matter, but now that the emperor knows about it, won't he immediately become the mortal enemy of the clans and officials in the world? I believe that if the prince knew that he could use this matter to hit himself, he would not only be optimistic, but it was also very likely that he would fall into the well.
Huang Qiong was thinking nonsense here, and after listening to Huang Qiong's advice, the emperor smiled coldly and said, "Are you still timid? In my opinion, are you very bold? Didn't you trick me into coming here today so I could see this? But you're so smart that I don't know what you're thinking. ”
"If you really think about these displaced people, I will be angry, but I will also feel very relieved. Because you let me know that the world is not as peaceful as it says it is. Let me know what my people are living in, and what my son has done. But if you have any other ideas in it, it's a shame. ”
Seeing that his current position was still a certain distance from Liu Hu and several old men, the emperor resumed his usual self-title. Of course, this is because I have long been accustomed to being called so. There is also the meaning of suppressing this son who looks deferential, but is actually bold. Tell Huang Qiong in disguise, you are not confused, and you will not be led by the nose.
Hearing the emperor say this, Huang Qiong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Father Mingjian, my son brought his father here, he really just wanted his father to see the hardships of the people here, and he just wanted his father to ask about their lives, after all, they are also my great Qi, and they are also my father's people." ”
"Of course, the son didn't tell his father before because the son only heard the servants in the house mention it by chance, and he didn't see it with his own eyes. Therefore, they did not dare to tell the truth, lest they mishear. Your son's every move after leaving the palace, you are clear about it, and you don't dare to take a step out of the palace when you are idle, where will you know the situation here? ”
As for stirring up the relationship between the crown prince, the kings and the father, it is impossible to talk about this. Before the son met a few old men, Jing Zhaoyin didn't know anyone, let alone the relationship between him and the prince? The son didn't know the real situation here, and he didn't dare to tell his father about it, and where did he know that the homeless people here were all caused by the second and third brothers? ”
"There are still people watching, what are you kneeling here now? I'll talk about your affairs after you return to the palace, and now you give it to me first. Huang Qiong's explanation, his suspicious emperor, naturally wouldn't believe it too much. But the emperor still raised his hand and motioned for Huang Qiong to get up first.
This is outside the palace, and it is easy to arouse suspicion by others by kneeling around like this. However, the emperor, who was calmer, felt that Huang Qiong's words were very reasonable after a little thought, so he did not continue to insist on waiting for that Jing Zhaoyin to come and arrest him in person. After taking off the small seal on his waist, the emperor beckoned the little eunuch to summon him.
After handing the seal letter in his hand to the eunuch, he said, "You go to Jingzhao Mansion and tell them that it is my command." Let them put these servants here, and after they have been killed with the rods of all of them, they will be put here for three days. Don't restrain it, throw it out of the city and feed it to the dogs. You stared at me after the execution was over and returned to the palace. ”
"Also, tell that Jing Zhaoyin that all his bullshit money has been canceled for me. Let him take care of the servants under him, if I find out that the people of his Jingzhao Mansion are here, what kind of money will be collected, and they will bully men and women. Don't wait for me to hold him accountable, he will resign himself. ”
Seeing that the eunuch cautiously took the seal letter handed over by the emperor, under the escort of a guard, he rushed to Jingzhao Mansion to deliver the decree. Huang Qiong, who knew that the emperor had finally listened to his advice, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, turned around and looked at Huang Qiong kneeling down over there, and some old people who didn't know why said to Liu Hu: "There are a few old people who are worried." ”
"Please rest assured that today's incident is because of us, and we will definitely not implicate a few people. The boy has left his address to this strong man, if today's incident causes you any trouble, you can come to me according to the address, and the boy promises that he will never sit idly by. Now, the boy and his son are gone. ”
Several people were relieved to see that Huang Qiong's father and son had finally decided to leave. When the emperor talked to Huang Qiong before, he was a little far away from them. Both the emperor and Huang Qiong deliberately lowered their voices, so they didn't know about the conversation between the father and son. The words that the emperor instructed the eunuchs were naturally even more impossible to hear.
At most, I was curious that the emperor's son was too strict, and the score was too big, so he asked his son to kneel at every turn. However, although they didn't know the origin of Huang Qiong and his party, these old men, even including the somewhat short-tempered Liu Hu, didn't think that these people had the ability to confront Jing Zhaoyin.
After all, when the crown prince of the dynasty, and Wuchang Hou, these things are too powerful for them. In their subconscious, no one is older than the crown prince except the emperor. I didn't know that among Huang Qiong and his party, there were several people from the prince and his father. Do they think that even if these people are capable, even if they break the sky, they can still be greater than the crown prince?
Maybe it was Huang Qiong's politeness, or maybe the emperor's generosity, which won the favor of these people. So that several people didn't want Huang Qiong and his party to be arrested in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. Even if this incident will bring disaster to themselves, they don't want the good people in their eyes to suffer.
And at this moment, among the people who are returning to the palace, the emperor has long lost the joy he had when he left the palace, and his face was very gloomy at this time. The emperor was in a bad mood, and it could even be said that he was so bad that a few of the guards didn't even dare to come out. As for Huang Qiong, she honestly closed her mouth.
After accompanying the emperor back to the palace, Huang Qiong originally planned to say hello and slip away, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early to meet her mother. There was a thought that the emperor took him back to the Wende Palace, where he dealt with the folds on a daily basis. Although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, he told Huang Qiong with his eyes, if you don't want to go, I don't mind asking the guards to invite him to go.
After receiving the emperor's gesture with his eyes, or the threat, Huang Qiong had no choice but to touch his nose and follow the emperor into the Wende Palace. However, after entering the Wende Palace, the emperor repulsed all the eunuchs in the palace and sat on his throne for a long time without speaking.
Just with cold eyes, he repeatedly looked at Huang Qiong, who was meticulous, even the most picky monarch couldn't find fault with his posture, and stood respectfully in front of him. It wasn't until Huang Qiong straightened her hair that she sighed and said, "I never thought that the people under my rule would live so hard. ”
"And the culprit of all this is actually my own son, and my brother. A glimpse of the whole picture, it is not just those two rebels who can do this kind of thing. I'm afraid that most of those sects have similar styles. The lives of the displaced people who poured into the capital were so difficult, so how hard should the people in other places be? ”
"My father doesn't have to blame himself so much, and the son thinks that the actual situation may not be so bad. Even if the second brother and the third brother may have some of these personalities, they may not really be so excessive. Erchen thought that the words of these people were still somewhat exaggerated. ”
"Erchen wants to think about what is going on, or send someone to investigate. After all, there are some things that we can't just listen to, can we? Erchen thought, my father can transfer a group of capable officials, go down and check it out. After finding things out, I can come up with a foolproof plan. ”
