Chapter 365: Search the Rui Palace
After Xiao Ziming and Gu Peiqing left Rui Wang's Mansion, they went straight to Dingwang's Mansion and told Dingwang what they heard in Rui Wang's Mansion.
Lin Xiang sat aside and listened to Xiao Ziming's narration, it really hurt his brain, this Xiao Ziming didn't look like a fool, this was obviously what people deliberately said to him, they just wanted him to be fooled, how could he take it seriously?
This Ning Guohou is such a precious son, he doesn't want to be such a fool. It seems that this Xiao family to Xiao Ziming's generation is also the end.
"Lin Xiang, this son has already proved that King Rui is secretly hiding weapons, and he also uses the name of replacing weapons for the guards in his palace, and this king sees that he wants to raise private soldiers and plot against him." King Ding gritted his teeth and said.
As long as he thought that such a large number of ordnance had been taken away by King Rui, he felt a thousand uncomfortable in his heart.
"Don't worry, the old minister thinks that this matter is likely to be a trap, so let's wait and see first." Lin Xiang said lightly.
"Lin Xiang, you said you would wait before, but as a result, I went to investigate and said that I would wait, so what else to investigate, just give up." Xiao Ziming said a little angrily.
Before, he said that he was worried that it was a trap, and he didn't dare to act rashly, but then he went to the door to see people's faces in person, even if the other party deliberately told him, even if it was a trap, he had to check it, and he wanted that position, and he was still afraid to be a turtle, so it was better to give up now.
Sometimes, Xiao Ziming wonders if his father chose the wrong one at the beginning, and it might be better if he chose King Xiang at the beginning.
King Xiang is the queen's concubine, although he is not shrewd, but he is obedient, there is an obedient puppet emperor, but it is much better than a brave and unscrupulous one.
"Ziming, what do you mean by this, we have done so much, if we give up like this, I'm afraid there will never be such a chance again." King Ding frowned.
"Lord Wang, don't be impulsive, we still have to discuss and discuss, King Rui is not so easy to deal with." Lin Xiang said lightly.
"No, whether it's true or not, I'm going to go to King Rui's Mansion. Lin Xiang, you go to the palace now to find your father and ask for a holy decree, Su Lang, Ziming, let's go to King Rui's Mansion together. King Ding said loudly.
Lin Xiang looked at King Ding like this, he really felt very unreliable, okay, since he was in the same camp as King Ding, then he should accompany him.
King Ding, Lin Xiang and the others acted separately, and Lin Xiang waited outside the imperial study for an hour before seeing the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the old minister." Lin Xiang knelt down and said.
"Lin Xiang, you came to see me at this hour, but is there something wrong?" The Emperor pretended to be puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the temple outside the East City collapsed before, and the secret passage inside was discovered, and King Rui brought all the things in the secret passage back to his mansion, and did not hand it over to the household department and the military department." Lin Xiang said respectfully.
He doesn't need to directly charge King Rui, he only needs to tell the emperor about the temple outside the east city gate, and the emperor will naturally make a decision. This is the result of his years of being a prime minister.
"Oh? What was found outside the East City Gate? Why do you have to hand it over to the household department and the military department? ”
"Didn't the emperor hear about it? The old minister came home late the night before, and saw a team of carriages on the street, transporting a lot of things from outside the city to the Rui Wang's mansion. Lin Xiang pretended to be surprised.
"Oh? Then go and see what has been moved into the Rui Wang's Mansion, and don't forget to tell me when you see it clearly
Sound. The emperor said lightly.
"Yes, the old minister will do it, but the old minister went to the prince's mansion to ask, can the emperor give the old minister a holy decree?"
He was just a prime minister, and he rushed into King Rui's mansion like this, and King Rui killed him with a sword, and he could only die in vain.
"Divine decree? I didn't let you go to copy King Rui's mansion, what kind of holy decree do you want, you just go over and ask, this way, the holy decree is not allowed, I write you a note, you take it to King Rui to see, and he will not cure you for offending. The emperor said lightly.
After finishing speaking, the emperor walked to the imperial study, picked up a pen and wrote a note, and then handed the note to Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang looked at the note in his hand helplessly, and his heart simply fell to the bottom. He took such a note to the Rui Wangfu to look for something? That's just going to die.
When Lin Xiang came to the gate of King Rui's mansion, King Ding was already impatient, if Lin Xiang didn't come again, he would really have to lead his troops to break in.
"Lin Xiang, what about the holy decree?" King Ding looked at Lin Xiang who was empty-handed, and couldn't help but have some doubts. Isn't it that this Lin Xiang went to the palace and didn't get anything, right? If this is the case, then won't their trip be in vain?
"There is no holy decree, the emperor only wrote a note."
"Notes? What note? Show it to me. King Ding said hurriedly.
Now don't say it's a note, even if there is an emperor's edict, he can break into this Rui Wangfu with chicken feathers as an arrow.
King Ding took the note into his arms, and with a wave of his arms, hundreds of his soldiers lined up with him and broke into King Rui's mansion.
Such a scene attracted a lot of people to stop and watch, this king led troops to break into the palace of Rui, but it is a rare thing. What kind of person is this King Rui, the prince in Kyoto, which one doesn't give King Rui face.
"Yo, Brother Dingwang, what are you doing with bringing so many people to my mansion?" King Rui wondered.
"King Rui, don't pretend to be stupid, you secretly hide weapons and swallow money, but this king came to raid your Rui Wangfu on the orders of his father." King Ding raised his voice.
Isn't King Rui a god-like being in the hearts of the people? He is going to destroy the existence of this god, so that he will not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
"Raid my Rui Palace? Do you have the decree of your father? "King Rui is so tidy.
"There is no holy decree, my father doesn't want you to be too ugly, this king only has his father's edict." The king set the way of the gods.
"Hand oracle? Okay, then come and show this king, otherwise, how will this king know if you are falsely preaching the holy decree? King Rui snorted coldly.
"You ......, okay, you have to see, right? I'll show you, see if it's the emperor's edict. King Ding shoved the oracle into King Rui's hand and said.
King Rui opened his hand and looked at it, and then said lightly: "Okay, since my father wants you to take a look, then you should take a good look, remember to read it clearly, don't miss it." ”
With the approval of King Rui, as soon as King Ding waved his hand, a soldier broke into King Rui's mansion. Seeing this, Gu Yunxin immediately said lightly: "Since you want to check, then you have to watch them, and don't let them break our things." ”
"Yes, Princess." Everyone in the Rui Wangfu said in unison.
"Lady, you just rest in the house, you take care of the princess, don't let them make noise until the princess rests, if anyone dares to affect the princess's rest, they will kill the king." Rui Wang said coldly.
Hearing this, the soldiers brought by King Ding were also slightly stunned, if this was to scare Princess Rui,
They really can't keep their heads.
The soldiers of Dingwang's Mansion did not search everywhere, but ran directly to the treasury of Beiyuan.
After opening the storeroom, I found a lot of blades, and all of them were polished very cleanly and sharp.
"Lord Wang, we found these blades in the treasury of Beiyuan."
Seeing those blades being moved, King Rui was slightly stunned, "What are you doing with all the blades in my warehouse?" ”
"Hmph, what are you pretending to be confused? Aren't these all the weapons you brought out of the secret passage and hidden? King Ding raised his eyebrows and said.
"My hidden ordnance? Brother Dingwang, I didn't expect your delusional problem to have not changed. King Rui smiled lightly.
"What are you laughing at?" King Ding was furious.
Either ginger is still old and spicy, Lin Xiang saw the clue, these blades are all wiped clean, and they look like they are usually well maintained, not at all like they have been idle for many years.
"His Royal Highness King Ding......" Lin Xiang reminded softly.
"Lin Xiang, you have also seen this, in front of your father, you have to testify." King Ding said proudly.
At this time, Lin Xiang really wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, this was clearly the blade of the soldiers of the Rui Wangfu's own mansion. It's not an ordnance in a secret passage at all.
"His Royal Highness King Rui, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, you and King Ding are brothers, and this matter is still for the emperor's sake, so don't pursue it. King Ding is also playing with you. Lin Xiang said with a smile.
"Huh, misunderstanding? Playing? Lin Xiang didn't think it was ridiculous to say this? Just now, when King Ding broke into our Rui Wang's Mansion with a hundred soldiers, he was very arrogant, besides, is there such a joke? Gu Yunxin scolded angrily.
"Princess Rui, this is all a matter between men, you are still pregnant, don't be angry." Lin Xiang said helplessly.
"Now considering that this concubine is pregnant? Why didn't I see you taking care of it just now? Anyway, didn't Lin Xiang say that what happened just now was a joke? Then let's start with Ming'er, and every once in a while, we also go to Lin Xiang's Mansion, Dingwang Mansion, and Ningguohou Mansion to joke. ”
"Hey, Princess Rui, why are you involved in our Ningguo Marquis Mansion?" Xiao Ziming said hurriedly.
Today's incident can be regarded as offending King Rui, this King Rui is already difficult to deal with, and if you add Princess Rui, wouldn't it be even more troublesome? There are also people who go to the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo every once in a while to make trouble, isn't this a joke?
"Since you have helped them to bully our Rui Wangfu, if this concubine is rude, wouldn't she be too unruly? Besides, as soon as these people entered the door, they went directly to the treasury of Beiyuan, how did they know that the treasury of Beiyuan was to store the blades of the soldiers of the Rui Wangfu? Yesterday, you and Concubine Gu were the only ones who heard the conversation between the concubine and the maidservant. Gu Yunxin said coldly.
"This ......" Xiao Ziming was dumbfounded for a while, where could he have thought that this Gu Yunxin was actually waiting for him here.
"Princess Rui, what Xiao Shizi said is right, you can't let the soldiers of your Rui Wangfu go to our mansion to mess around, we came to Rui Wangfu, and we also got the emperor's consent." Lin Xiang said hurriedly.
Fortunately, he went to ask the emperor for a message, otherwise, it would really be unclear. Hearing Lin Xiang mention the edict, King Ding hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, we have the emperor's edict, don't believe it." With that, he pulled out a neatly folded note from his sleeve.
