Chapter 79: Consequences
It seems that they are still too confident, and those few people tonight can finish the battle more quickly, and now it is okay, and it will make their father and king worried.
Jing Xi was drowsy in the carriage here, and in the carriage in which King Rong was riding, his attitude was condensed at this time, and the twins were already sleeping on the soft couch on the carriage, and King Rong looked at the two children and kept quiet all the way.
After the carriage returned to the palace and sent Ah Heng and Ah Yan to the dormitory, King Rong went to the study with a stiff face.
It is not known what King Rong plotted in his study, but it is foreseeable that the assassination of the crown prince tonight will cause a storm in the capital tomorrow.
……
In a mansion in the capital, a middle-aged man in a dark blue brocade robe was sitting upright at the desk, listening to the news reported by his subordinates.
"Master, the prince was assassinated in the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight." The man was dressed in black and bowed his head respectfully.
Hearing this, the man paused for a moment with the jade brush in his hand, and then asked, "Oh? How's it going?"
The man in black didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately reported the news he learned to his master, only to listen to him: "It looks like the handwriting of the one in the palace, and sent out a group of dead soldiers who wanted to assassinate the prince at the birthday banquet, and disturbed the banquet, the prince was fine, but the dead soldiers were all wiped out." ”
"Oh? Alright, let's go down. The man continued to write hard, listened to the report, and drank his black-clothed subordinates.
"Yes." After the man in black had finished his prayers, he received the order, bowed and bowed, and then left the room.
After the man in black left, the man stopped his pen and glanced at the painting he had just completed, and the smile in his eyes gradually spread.
This is really good news, it seems that Bai Xin has made a move, it's okay, let them fight first, the more fierce the fight, the better, it's really not good, add fire to them.
The man muttered, blowing the ink on the painting, and the smile on his face could no longer be hidden, "Truly, this is really good news, and it is really much more comfortable." ”
Last time, Sijiabao was directly destroyed, and even Wu Yong died, and he was busy for two or three years, but the duck that reached his beak flew.
Since Sijiabao is gone, it is better than it falling into the hands of others.
The man's mind was turning, and he regarded Sijiabao as his own property, and he couldn't get it, and no one else had it, just right.
Now that the prince is fighting with the Bai family, he happens to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Thinking of this, the man put the matter behind him, "Someone." ”
"Frame this painting and hang it in the study."
"Yes."
……
"Niangniang~"
A maid in a purple suit quickly walked into the dormitory, and this person was Bai Zhi, the concubine's henchman.
"What are you doing in a panic?" The glamorous woman dressed in palace clothes dusted off the dust that did not exist on her body, and raised her eyes to look at the visitor.
"The spies just came to report that the plan was successful, but unfortunately our people were all wiped out......" Bai Zhi ignored the dense sweat on his forehead because of nervousness, and calmed down for a while.
"Annihilation? Well? What about the prince?"
"Prince...... Prince he," Bai Zhi trembled and before she could speak, she was interrupted by her master: "Prince."
How?"
The beautiful woman was unhurried, and she was extremely confident in the dead soldiers she had raised in private, because few people could detect their hidden skills, but it was a pity that she, who was immersed in joy, did not notice Bai Zhi's resignation and hesitation.
"Back to Niangniang, the prince is unscathed."
"What? No way, are you all rubbish? Isn't there any one of the many dead who succeeded? Huh?"
The beautiful woman's voice suddenly rose with disbelief in her voice, she had even thought of the joy of success, but she didn't expect ......
"It can't be!"
"Niangniang, besides, the county lord of Zhaoning was injured tonight."
"How so? Didn't you all command you all to attack the prince? How could the county lord get hurt? Let's be honest! ”
The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, for for her, her goal had always been the crown prince.
What's more, the lord of Zhaoning has the support of King Rong's Mansion behind him, and King Rong's reputation is very great, if it is not necessary, she does not want to stand on the opposite side of King Rong, and even she moved Zhaoning's mind to let her marry the emperor, so that the military power of the Rongwang Mansion will be a big help to the emperor in the future.
However, now, the county lord of Zhaoning is injured, no matter what, no matter what, no one can find her head.
Thinking like this, the woman in the palace order Bai Zhi to report the situation to her, so that she could analyze how to operate.
Bai Zhi reported the news from her subordinate spies to Niangniang one by one, "Niangniang, this is the case. ”
"Rong Bengong thinks about it."
After listening to the report, the beautiful woman twisted her eyebrows, made a contemplative state, and said after a while: "In this case, clean up your hands and feet, don't let people find out about this, and don't let the emperor know about this." ”
"Yes, sissy." Bai Zhi replied respectfully, she didn't dare to have any meaning to her mother's order, and she knew her mother's methods.
After thinking for a while, the beautiful woman said: "Let the imperial chef prepare a refreshing soup, and then the palace will go to the imperial study." ”
"Yes, sissy."
This person is today's concubine Bai Xin, she is over thirty years old, she is still well maintained, the whole person looks beautiful, on the surface she is kind to everyone, but in fact, the city is very deep, otherwise she would not have designed to kill the former queen and be safe.
……
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study
Emperor Xiao Yintian, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was sitting in front of the dragon case, looking at the twists and turns in front of him, but his mind flew away.
"Your Majesty!"
Xiao Yan, the leader of the dark guard dressed in black, suddenly appeared not far from the emperor and bowed.
"What?"
The emperor's tone was unhurried, and his thoughts instantly converged and looked at Xiao Yan.
"The crown prince was assassinated in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"What? Runyu, is he okay?"
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is safe and sound, but the county lord of Zhaoning is injured."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the prince was fine, but he didn't expect that the girl of the Rong family's family was injured, what was going on?
"Huh?"
The emperor frowned and snorted, his tone was light, but he was not angry and arrogant.
"Your Majesty, the county lord of Zhaoning should be mistaken
Injured, as for His Royal Highness the Prince, he turned danger into safety and returned to the East Palace. ”
Except for a few insiders, the rest of the people didn't know the truth about Jing Xi's injury tonight, Jing Xi didn't want to attract attention, he just wanted to keep a low profile, so no one saw it when he was fighting with the man in black, of course, this also led to the emperor concubine and others only thinking that the county lord of Zhaoning was just a boudoir lady who had nothing to do.
This is in line with Jingxi's low-key meaning.
"Hmm."
After listening to Xiao Yan's report, the emperor did not link Jing Xi with the death of the man in black.
Xiao Yan hid in the dark after saluting, and at this time, a eunuch came in outside the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the concubine asks to see you."
The eunuch's voice was very different from that of an ordinary man, so that people could understand it as soon as they heard it.
Chaise? Seeing what her intentions were, thinking like this, the emperor waved his hand to let the concubine in.
……
The next day, the morning light was faint, and the golden rooster reported the dawn.
In the palace, the Lingxiao Palace.
The magnificent atmosphere of the palace, in the morning light with glazed colors, the whole palace is ingenious, the inside is carved beams and paintings, the eight pillars in the hall are carved with five-clawed golden dragons, some are cloud-shaped, some spiral up, each dragon is not the same posture, but the same is that even the scale lines on the dragon's body are clear and lifelike.
On the central steps of the hall is a luxurious golden carved dragon throne, which is the exclusive domain of the emperor.
Now, the Lingxiao Hall is full of ministers of different ranks, as well as princes and nobles.
At this moment, the emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and wearing an imperial crown, accompanied by the chief of Ouchi, climbed the stairs and sat on the dragon chair on the high platform in the hall.
"The emperor has arrived!" The chief steward shouted, and suddenly all the people in the hall knelt on the ground except for the crown prince and King Rong and King Qi, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Uniform.
"All the ministers are flat!"
The emperor on the dragon chair said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty."
Then a group of ministers got up and took their places.
At this time, the chief steward standing beside the emperor took two steps forward, "Something to start, nothing to retreat!" ”
The slender voice of the chief steward, especially in his throat, echoed in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book."
At this time, an official in a crimson court uniform stood up with a jade plaque in his hand.
"The emperor is tolerant, the Pang family mines iron ore privately, fills their own pockets, violates the laws and regulations of our dynasty, and the minister thinks that iron ore is the source of weapons in my Xia country, and the emperor will punish him severely."
This person is Su Lie, Prime Minister Su Cheng, who was disturbed by his father's birthday banquet yesterday.
"What?" As soon as the emperor heard that it was mining iron ore privately, he immediately slapped the dragon case with his right hand, and the chief manager Chen Zhong immediately understood, went down the steps to Prime Minister Su Cheng, took the fold with both hands, and walked towards the high platform.
And among the ministers in the audience, some were thoughtful, some were surprised, and one was not very good, shortness of breath for a moment, and then immediately recovered his demeanor, pretending to be calm, but in fact, he was very anxious in his heart, when did Su Lie's old man find out about the iron mine? It's impossible, it won't, this matter has to do with the Bai family
It does not matter.
Immediately paid attention to the emperor's expression.
The emperor carefully read the excerpt and the accompanying evidence presented by Su Xiang, and was extremely angry, and immediately slapped the dragon case with his right hand, his eyes widened angrily, and his eyes quickly skimmed over Bai Shou's face, and then ordered the chief administrator Chen Zhong to pass the excerpt along with the evidence for everyone to circulate.
The excerpt was circulated among the ministers one by one, and my heart sank, and the Pang family was gone.
Really!
"How can this be true? I ordered to prohibit the mining of iron ore without permission, this Pang family has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard. ”
"Spread my will, the Pang family mined iron ore privately, beheaded all the doors, and their family property was returned to the treasury! Execute it now! ”
The majestic voice full of anger fell, and everyone in the audience saw this result, some people gloated, and some people were panicked.
After a while, the emperor glanced at all the ministers, and when he saw that nothing was going on, the chief manager Chen Zhong understood and said loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty."
Everyone saluted one after another, watching the emperor go away, and then everyone walked out of the Lingxiao Hall with the jade plate in their hands.
