Chapter 648: The Eight Deadly Sins
The prince coughed, and then said: "Concubine Niangniang, my father set up a banquet tonight and invited Jinyi to come over, and I will talk about this matter later, so I don't have to be too quiet." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The young man is lustful, human nature, the prince sees that this fragrant posture is quite good, and there is a romantic state between his eyebrows, but he is also a servant girl who can make a man's heart move, thinking that Qi Ning is young, maybe he has a hobby for women, wandering around the palace, meeting this servant girl, it is not impossible to be tempted for a while.
But Hanxiang is just a palace maid after all, and this matter should not be too publicized and provoke right and wrong.
Chen Guifei immediately reluctantly said: "Prince, what do you mean, just to treat this incident as if it never happened?" He snorted coldly and said: "The envoys of the State of Chu dare to insult the palace maids in the Forbidden Palace, they are bold, could it be that there are no men in the State of Qi anymore, and the people of the State of Chu are allowed to insult the women of the State of Qi?" ”
She said this directly at the prince, obviously saying that if the prince gave in on this matter, it would be a cowardly act and he was not worthy of being a man.
At this time, I saw the girl who followed the prince step forward, stretched out her hand to hold Chen Guifei's sleeve, and said softly: "Chen Niangniang, don't be angry, don't hurt your body." ”
Chen Guifei's eyes were red, and she said, "Tianxiang, you also heard it, you are also a girl, if you encounter this kind of thing, can you stop here?" ”
Qi Ning's heart sank, secretly thinking that this girl turned out to be Princess Tianxiang, took a look, and saw that she was round and jade, bright and beautiful, and thought that if such a beautiful princess married that guy from Beitangfeng, it would undoubtedly be a flower inserted in cow dung.
Tianxiang looked at Hanxiang and asked, "Hanxiang, the envoys of the Chu State want to bully you, have you entered the woods?" ”
"How dare the slave and maid follow him into the woods?" Hanxiang's tears flowed, her whole body trembled slightly, and she seemed to have palpitations: "The slave maid only said that it was Chen Niangniang's maidservant, and he ...... He said that not to mention Chen Niangniang, even if it was the queen's maidservant, what could she do? The concubines were afraid of him..... Afraid that he would come nonsense, so he hurriedly ran away, and the envoys of Chu were not very familiar with the roads in the palace, so they could only chase after him from afar, and kept ..... Chased all the way here, after the slave maid entered the garden, she immediately reported to the mother, and at this time the envoys of the Chu State also chased in, just ..... It just so happened that the guards patrolled by and surrounded him ......! ”
Tianxiang looked at Qi Ning and asked, "Jinyihou, are you guilty?" ”
Qi Ning sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the foreign envoy is indeed guilty, and he deserves death. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, the prince and the princess glanced at each other, Chen Guifei was stunned for a moment, but immediately shouted: "You all heard, you all heard, he ...... He admitted it himself, Prince, Tianxiang, you all heard it. "I'm afraid that Qi Ning will regret it.
At this time, I saw several guards suddenly kneeling on the ground, others saw it, looked over, but saw the monarch of Dongqi dressed in bright yellow civilian clothes, surrounded by several eunuchs, coming in from outside the door, his face was quite ugly, everyone saw the monarch of Dongqi suddenly appeared, they were all secretly frightened, knelt down together, shouted long live, Qi Ning also turned around and bowed to the monarch of Dongqi.
"Chickens and dogs are restless, what kind of system do they become?" The Eastern Qi monarch snorted coldly, glanced at Qi Ning, but saw that Princess Tianxiang had already walked over quickly, quickly grabbed the arm of the Eastern Qi monarch, and said coquettishly: "Father, you are here, Chen Niangniang has been bullied, you have to make decisions for Chen Niangniang." ”
Qi Ning thought to herself, you little girl don't know the truth, what are you doing here, she glanced at Tianxiang, and saw that Tianxiang was also staring at herself with a smile.
"Your Majesty......!" Chen Guifei howled sadly, and had already run in front of the monarch of Eastern Qi, as if she had been greatly wronged, and it was she who was humiliated, and she was overwhelmed with grief: "Concubine..... The concubine couldn't live, and the concubine suffered this great shame, ashamed of His Majesty's love, and only begged His Majesty to give her death. She raised her hand to hide her face with a handkerchief, tears wrapped around her eyes, and she was pitiful everywhere.
The monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom said: "I already know. Looking at Qi Ning, he frowned and said, "Qi Ning, I just heard it, you have already confessed?" ”
Qi Ning saluted and said: "Back to the king, Qi Ning has already been convicted, and the crime is extremely evil. ”
The monarch of Eastern Qi was slightly stunned, and only heard Qi Ning say slowly: "The foreign envoy entered the Qi Palace Shenyuan for the first time, and he didn't know anything about the roads in the palace, but he was able to accurately chase Chen Niangniang here, which is the first sin. The foreign envoy was summoned to the palace and waited for His Majesty to summon him, but he did not have the slightest patience, and dared to leave alone, wandering around in the inner courtyard of the palace, and disrespecting the rules of the palace. ”
The prince heard Qi Ning say this, his expression was slightly calm, he only thought that Qi Ning really confessed, and at this time he knew that it was just a small strategy, the current situation, if Qi Ning was-for-tat and Chen Guifei arguing, it would be easy to annoy the monarch of Eastern Qi.
"The third major crime of the foreign envoy, knowing that the inner court of the deep palace is heavily guarded, but he is not worried about the crime of killing his head at all, he dares to molest or even insult the palace maid in the palace, it is really reckless and brainless." Qi Ning said slowly: "The fourth major crime in foreign affairs, the person who knows that the palace maid is Chen Niangniang, not only did he not restrain himself, but even looked at what the queen's maid could be, and he was disrespectful and bold. ”
He didn't say it quickly, even a little slowly, but after these charges were said, everyone around him had different expressions, and the expression of the Eastern Qi monarch was not as ugly as before, and there was thought in his eyes, the corners of Chen Guifei's eyes jumped, but she looked a little uneasy, and she only heard Qi Ning continue: "The foreign envoy failed to flirt, and he should have been buried immediately, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he continued to chase after him in the deep palace, and he didn't take the Qi Palace in his eyes at all, which is the fifth major crime." Although the foreign envoy is shallow, after all, he is also the marquis of Chu State, and there are not a few beauties he has seen, but when he arrived at the Qi Palace, he ignored the face of the Chu State and the Qi family because of a three-point palace maid, just like he had never seen a woman in his life, and he was shameless, which was the sixth major crime. Although the foreign envoy's martial arts are mediocre, if he wants to chase a palace maid, he can let her escape easily and chase all the way to the deep palace, which insults the martial arts style of the Qi family, which is the seventh major crime. ”
The crown prince already smiled slightly on his lips, but Tianxiang also blinked his eyes, and the monarch of Dongqi raised his hand to stroke his beard, and his face was no longer as angry as before.
"When the foreign envoy heard the movement of the palace guards, he did not immediately flee for his life, but was surrounded by them here, and he was extremely stupid, which is the eighth greatest sin." Qi Ning's expression was indifferent: "Your Excellency, there are these eight major crimes, the foreign envoy is already a capital crime, and the crime is unforgivable, but there is still one last point that is unclear, please ask the king for advice." ”
The monarch of Dongqi said: "What do you know?" ”
His tone was already quite calm, and Qi Ning arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, my Chu State has sent an envoy to Qi State to ask for relatives this time, and my sincerity can be learned, of course, I want to treat this matter as the top priority of my Chu State." Foreign envoys are mediocre in their talents, and they can be appointed by the emperor's orders, but they are just thoughtful and careful. The king gave a banquet tonight, the foreign envoy has not yet finished a glass of wine, and there seems to be no sign of madness, I really don't understand why he committed such a heinous eight crimes in the Qi Palace, could it be that my Chu State regarded this courtship as a child's play and sent a madman over? ”
His tone was flat before, but in the last few sentences, the speed of his speech was accelerated, his voice was sonorous and powerful, his expression was solemn, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring, Chen Guifei was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, he is quibbling, don't believe his words, Hanxiang and him have no grievances, will they still wronged him?" He was so bold that he thought he was the marquis of the Chu State, so he had no scruples and spread wild in my Great Qi Palace. ”
The Eastern Qi monarch looked at the crown prince and asked, "Prince, what do you think?" ”
The prince arched his hand and said: "Father, the son thinks that although Jinyihou was born in a family of martial artists in Chu State, he is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is brave and resourceful, and today's things are .......!" He didn't say any more.
Princess Tianxiang suddenly smiled and said, "Father, why don't you let me judge this case?" ”
The monarch of Dongqi was obviously quite doting on Princess Tianxiang, and said with a smile: "What do you know about this child?" Hugh wants to come nonsense. ”
"Father, I'll just ask a few words, if it's wrong, you will treat me as nonsense." Princess Tianxiang pulled the arm of the Eastern Qi monarch and shook it, "You just promise me." ”
The Eastern Qi monarch sighed: "How do you want to try the case? ”
Princess Tianxiang chuckled, walked up to Hanxiang, and asked, "Hanxiang, you said earlier that you were going to go to Gonggong Chen, the head of the inner treasury, to get silk, am I not wrong?" ”
Hanxiang lowered her head and said, "Yes!" ”
"Zhang Cai, you took the envoys of the Chu State to wait in the side hall of the Juxian Palace, right?" Princess Tianxiang looked at a eunuch, who was the father-in-law who led Qi Ning into the palace, and immediately said: "Back to the princess, the slave led the brocade to the side hall of the Juxian Palace, let the brocade wait for a while, and His Majesty will summon him immediately." ”
Princess Tianxiang smiled: "Let's not mention that Jinyi Houming knows that his father will summon him immediately and will walk around, Zhang Cai, is Neiku going to the northwest?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Cai said: "The amount needed in the palace is stored in the warehouse in the northwest. ”
"From Chen Niangniang's palace to the palace warehouse, it is to the northwest corner, and the Juxian Palace is in the southeast corner." Princess Tianxiang raised her finger, opened her middle finger and index finger, in the shape of a figure of eight, and said: "The two directions are not the same, Hanxiang, can you go in the direction of the Juxian Palace?" ”
Chen Guifei had changed color slightly, and Hanxiang immediately said: "Back to the princess, slave maid..... The slave maid did not go in the direction of the Immortal Palace. ”
Princess Tianxiang smiled: "Then it can only be Jinyihou wandering around, walking in the direction of the warehouse, and on the way I met Hanxiang who returned from the warehouse, right?" ”
Hanxiang said: "Slave maid..... The slave maid didn't find Gonggong Chen, so she ...... So I was returning from the direction of the warehouse, and met the envoys of Chu on the way. ”
Princess Tianxiang said to the monarch of Eastern Qi: "Father, from the Juxian Palace to the warehouse, there are two palace walls on the way, and they are usually guarded by guards. My father made a decree that the palace should not move around at will after nightfall, unless there is a palace card in hand, Jinyi Hou is an envoy of the Chu State, and there will naturally be no palace card in his hand. ”
Qi Ning had already understood, and said with a smile: "What the princess said is very true, I am just a foreign minister, thanks to the great grace of the king, I entered the palace for a banquet, how could I have a palace card in my hand." ”
"Father, there is no palace card, and foreign envoys can walk around the palace at will?" Princess Tianxiang said: "Those guards are not loyal to their duties, father, you must beat them hard." ”
The prince had already said calmly: "Huang Sheng, are you on duty tonight?" ”
Huang Sheng, the leader of the guards, was already miserable, only to hear the prince say coldly: "In the forbidden palace, the guards are unfavorable, and the foreign envoys are allowed to move around at will, father, this Huang Sheng's duty is great, but he is very derelict in his duties, and his sons think that he must be punished heavily." ”
