Chapter 87: Safety is handed over to Ning Guohou
Hu Bowen was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted to Xiao Yuanshan: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, Xia Guan really didn't kidnap the county lord, Hou Ye pleaded for Xia Guan." Hu Bowen said with a handful of snot and tears.
King Huai and King Rui glanced at each other, and then heard King Huai taunt: "Lord Hu really trusts the Marquis of Ningguo, and when he encounters danger, he does not ask for his father, but asks for the Marquis of Ning, which really surprises the king." β
Hearing this, Ning Guohou hurriedly kicked Hu Bowen down, "Hu Bowen, even if you are the protΓ©gΓ© of this official, this official can't help you plead with the emperor, who made you do such a thing." β
At this time, Xiao Yuanshan, Marquis of Ningguo, naturally wanted to put aside his relationship with Hu Bowen, and he only hinted to Hu Bowen that he wanted to teach Gu Yunxin a lesson, who knew that this Hu Bowen actually found someone in the rivers and lakes, and was found out by King Rui. It seems that this wise king does not really want to stay away from the court, but to retreat as an advance and secretly win over forces.
"Ning Guohou, you asked the lower officials to send someone to kidnap the county lord of Xiyue, how can you ignore the lower officials?"
"Hu Bowen, you kidnapped the county lord, and you still want to slander Benhou, come on, drag Hu Bowen out and cut it down." Xiao Yuanshan said angrily.
But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, he was too anxious, and he said it without thinking carefully, I hope the emperor will not think too much.
Thinking of this, Ning Guohou secretly glanced at the emperor seat, and saw that the emperor's face did not change at all, and then he also put his mind at ease, the emperor still relied on the Xiao family, otherwise, with what he said just now, he would definitely provoke Long Yan to be angry.
The Praetorian Guards in the palace are under the control of the emperor, and without the emperor's orders, no one's orders will be obeyed, which the emperor is still very confident in. After all, these Praetorian Guards were all trained and selected by King Rui himself, so what else is there to worry about.
"Your Majesty, the lower officials are really wronged, although this money is from the lower officials, but there is really no need for the lower officials to be unfavorable to the county lord, it is him, it is he Xiao Yuanshan who thinks that Miss Xiao and King Ding are listening to the rain building, and it was designed by the county lord of Xiyue, so he also wants others to ruin the innocence of the county lord, so ......"
"Ning Guohou, your own daughter didn't discipline well, and you have to blame the official's daughter, it's really too much, can you really cover the sky with one hand?" Mrs. Gu scolded angrily.
"In-laws, how could I, the county lord of Xiyue is Peiqing's sister, you and I are in-laws, how could I do this, if Pei Qing hadn't lost his life in Ziming first, now, the county lord is already the daughter-in-law of my Ningguo Marquis Mansion."
Hearing Xiao Yuanshan say this, Mrs. Gu clenched his fists, while Xiao Yuanshan exonerated himself, he didn't forget to laugh at his goddaughters for not having a way, thinking about his daughters, that is, Yun Xin is the best, and the rest of the daughters who are not married are not very outstanding, and in the future, they will find an ordinary official eunuch to marry, if they marry into a high-ranking family, they are not opponents in this backyard battle.
"The entrance of Ning Guohou's Mansion is too high, and Mrs. Gu can't climb high, how can it be like my Lin Chao and Lin Tai, now don't say it's a wife, I don't even have a roommate, here."
He is only a lieutenant in the army, where can he compare to the prince of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion. Prime Minister Lin Qingsong sneered.
"Lin Xiang, Ben Hou and you are also relatives, how can you say that Ben Hou's beloved daughter is already the side concubine of King Ding, and she also wants to call you uncle, if you are still here-for-tat, are you not afraid of hurting the harmony?" Ning Guohou said in a deep voice.
Now, Lin Xiang's daughter Lin Ziruo is still firmly seated in the position of the princess, even if Xiao Sirui uses a thousand means, but King Nading will not listen to half a sentence, for example, for King Xiang, it is difficult to grasp.
A few days ago, Si Rui came home to cry and complain, he was snubbed in Dingwang's Mansion, he wanted to ask, how did the Prime Minister's Mansion teach his daughter, and he taught him to be so jealous.
"Master Hou's words are wrong, if there are many relatives of this royal family, it is not a relative, if you only think about harming others, you don't want such relatives." Lin Xiang said proudly.
"Fifth brother, what Lin Xiang said is very reasonable. Hu Bowen, this king asks you, you said that you were instructed by Ning Guohou, so do you have any evidence? If not, you'll be the only one to be the ghost. King Huai sneered.
Doesn't this mean that if Hu Bowen has evidence, then Ning Guohou should not think that he can escape responsibility, if not, just being suspected is enough to make him lose his dignity among the hundred officials.
"Lord Wang, the lower officials are soft-spoken, and Ning Guohou is the mentor of the lower officials, and the lower officials naturally obey his orders, but if you want evidence, the lower officials really can't take it out. However, in this Kyoto, the one who has an enmity with the county lord of Xiyue is the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, the prince thinks about it carefully, in addition to the Marquis of Ning, will there be anyone who is unfavorable to the county lord? β
Since Hu Bowen can go to high school, he is naturally not stupid, and he can also lead the disaster to Ning Guohou at this time, which can be seen to be difficult to deal with.
After looking at it coldly for a long time, King Rui slowly spoke, "Father, since Ning Guohou denied that he hurt the county lord of Xiyue, it is better for us to hand over the safety of the county lord of Xiyue to Ning Guohou, I think that in order to prove his innocence, Ning Guohou will also do his best to protect the county lord." β
"Well, you're right, so let's do it. Xiao Yuanshan, from today on, the safety of the county lord of Xiyue will be handed over to you, if the county lord of Xiyue is damaged in the slightest, I will ask you. β
"Your Majesty, no, how can the old minister take on such a heavy responsibility? The kidnapping of the county lord this time may be just a misunderstanding, otherwise the county lord would not have come back safely. Xiao Yuanshan said hurriedly.
What is the safety of the county lord of Xiyue handed over to himself, and it was clear that he would not dare to do anything to Gu Yunxin anymore, not only on his side, but even the other people who Gu Yunxin offended had to be guarded against, this hot potato, he would not want it.
What's more, he wished that Gu Yunxin would die early, how could he really protect her? But if she really made a mistake, would the emperor be suspicious?
Although there are a lot of dead soldiers in the current Ningguo Marquis Mansion, they are all to be used for major matters, and they will definitely not be compromised in protecting an enemy.
Or rather...... Gu Yunxin this time
Being kidnapped is just a play performed by the emperor and the Gu family, I want to test how many people in the court have bad intentions, otherwise, how can it be just some skin injuries after being captured, and not lose their virginity?
To say that this Gu Yunxin's mother Zhanrou was also a famous beauty in Kyoto when she was young, and this Gu Yunxin has gathered all the advantages of her father, outstanding appearance, and a luxurious temperament, how can a man not be tempted?
"Misunderstanding? Hou Ye Mo is not joking, right? When the county lord of Xiyue was rescued, he was covered with whip marks, and didn't this woman also say that they were hired by Hu Bowen, how could they get the wrong person? Hou Ye didn't want to care, so he refused like this, right? King Rui said with a smile.
"His Royal Highness King Rui, if it is said that it is a well-guarded house, how can it be compared to the Rui Wangfu, the people of the Rui Wangfu have all followed the prince to fight on the battlefield, and the guards of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion are just some three-legged cats, if there are any more villains, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect the county lord and be thoughtful, I can't afford this responsibility." Xiao Yuanshan said coldly.
This is clear that King Rui wanted to design him, including Hu Bowen's anti-water, to say that this Hu Bowen is really stupid, and he was recruited for everything after a few words.
He did say that he wanted to deal with Gu Yunxin, it wasn't because she harmed Sirui and lost the position of county lord, and she married the bastard of King Ding, all the pain of his daughter was given by Gu Yunxin, how could he not hate?
"Ning Guohou is too modest, this king has long heard that the guards of Ning Guohou's Mansion are also top masters, I am afraid that even the palace guards are not comparable."
Hearing King Rui say this, Xiao Yuanshan's face was very unpleasant, could it be that this King Rui knew that he was raising dead soldiers? It shouldn't be, most of these dead people have never appeared in the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo, and the people who often come to the Marquis Mansion are only the people he trusts the most, so they should not attract the attention of outsiders.
And those dead soldiers have been staying in a hidden mountain col all these years, where they eat, live, and train, not to mention, that mountain is still the property of the Marquis of Ningguo, and it is impossible for King Rui to find out the news in the mountain.
Yes, he must not be completely sure, so he just wants to cheat him, fortunately, this guy's legs are crippled, otherwise, in the future, he will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and the good days of the Xiao family will come to an end.
As everyone knows, King Rui already knows all about the dead soldiers raised by the Marquis of Ningguo, not only knows the progress of their training, but also knows very well how much silver taels are spent on the food and weapons consumed every month.
It's just that now is not the time to expose this, he has to wait for a suitable time to give Xiao Yuanshan a fatal blow.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the battle between King Rui and Xiao Yuanshan, he couldn't help but appreciate it in his heart, and he also thought that he would still hand over the throne to King Rui in the future, because only if the throne was given to King Rui, his other sons could all live, and the people of the Great Zhou could live and work in peace and contentment.
If it is given to King Xiang or King Ding, King Rui and other princes will definitely not survive, and some of them in the court
Ministers will also be suppressed, and the end will evolve into a situation of dictatorship by foreign relatives. He would never let such a thing happen, and even if someone objected, he would hand over the throne to King Rui.
Moreover, he also has to find a strong enough mother for King Rui to find a princess Rui, provided that this woman is smart enough to support King Rui and be able to mother the world in the future.
Looking at the entire Great Zhou, it seems that only Gu Yunxin can meet his requirements, but this Gu Yunxin first withdrew from the marriage and was kidnapped, can this minister of the court tolerate such a woman becoming the queen of the Great Zhou?
I don't know if his Yi'er really likes Gu Yunxin's girl, if this is wrong, wouldn't it harm his son's happiness......
