Chapter 686: The Story of Nanjing (5)
The Qianhu of the East Palace looked at the house, and there was no one else except the King of Chu and the disheveled woman.
At this time, Zhu Huai also reacted from the initial panic, put on his pants and scolded: "Who are you bastards?" Do you know who this king is? You don't want to live anymore? ”
The Qianhu arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, his subordinate is Duan Peng, the guard of the East Palace, who is ordered by the prince to arrest people!" ”
Zhu Huai listened to the prince's order, and scolded angrily: "You fart, can the king's eldest brother send someone to arrest the king?" Wait, this king will tell my father that he will cut off your heads!" ”
At this time, the voice of the crown prince Zhu Hai came from outside the door: "The third child, it was the palace that asked them to come, what?" Do you want to cut off Hongu's head too? Before the voice fell, Prince Zhu Hai separated everyone and walked into the house.
When Zhu Huai saw Zhu Hai coming, he hurriedly laughed and said, "It turned out to be the eldest brother's order, does the eldest brother miss the younger brother?" If you want the little brother to chat, it's just an order, why did you bring soldiers here? Isn't this significant that you and my brother are emotionally separated? ”
Looking at Zhu Huai, who was full of fat, Zhu Hai was full of disgust, he didn't want to play anything polite with Zhu Huai, and asked directly: "Third child, what about the people in your house just now?" ”
Zhu Huai pretended not to know, and asked rhetorically, "Who is it?" Who is in the house? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, there were seven or eight people in the house just now, where have they all gone now?"
"Brother Prince wronged the younger brother, the elder brother knew that the younger brother was lustful, and the younger brother heard that there were a few stunning colors in my grandfather's courtyard, so he came out to try it out on his back, but he didn't expect to be seen by the prince's brother!"
Zhu Hai saw that Zhu Huai was messing around here and didn't tell the truth, so he stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Huai's shirt and scolded: "Third child, don't pretend!" Do you think this palace doesn't know about your dirty affairs? Are you here to tell them that you got the exam questions? ”
Zhu Huai was shocked when he heard Zhu Hai say this: "Brother Prince, you can't talk nonsense, although the younger brother is a little lustful, but the younger brother also knows that this exam is important, so dare to leak the exam questions casually?" In addition, the exam questions were secretly hidden by the father, and the younger brother didn't know where to put them! ”
At this moment, another person came in from outside the house, and it was Qian Yiai, who rushed to hear the news.
Qian Yiai was originally a romantic seed, but the wife in the family was strong and didn't dare to take a concubine, and today I saw the handsome girl who sang the opera, so I stayed and fell in love with that woman. I didn't know that I was just about to do a good thing, but I heard the voices of people outside, and some people shouted "Murder!" ”
Qian Yiai was taken aback, this is the boundary of Shangyuan County, and it is located in Xuanwu Lake, if there is really a murder, it will be a big deal.
Qian Yiai didn't bother at this time, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to see what was going on. How do you know that when you go out, you see a group of guards in the East Palace surrounding a small building on the side. Qian Yiai was the master of the East Palace, and he was quite familiar in the East Palace, and these East Palace guards also knew his relationship with the prince, so they let Qian Yiai in.
When Qian Yiai came to the door, he heard the conversation between Zhu Hai and Zhu Huai, and Qian Yiai was so frightened that he almost ascended to heaven. The imperial examination case has always been no trivial matter, and it will kill people in that dynasty, and now the prince dares to bring guards to arrest people without evidence, and he is too bold.
Qian Yiai stepped forward and pulled Zhu Hai away, and asked in a low voice, "Prince, what's the matter?" ”
Zhu Hai saw that Qian Yiai was coming, and told the story in a low voice. When Qian Yiai heard this, he scolded Zhu Hai in his heart for not doing things without his brain, this kind of thing dares to arrest people without any evidence or physical evidence?
Qian Yiai looked at the surrounding East Palace guards, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Prince, do you have the emperor's secret decree to mobilize the East Palace guards?" ”
Zhu Hai shook his head, and Qian Yiai asked again: "Is there a warrant from the Jingshi to guard the king of Wuchang County?" ”
Zhu Haiyou shook his head, Qian Yiai saw that Zhu Hai didn't have any orders and dared to mobilize the army, this is a big deal!
Qian Yiai pulled Zhu Hai out of the house, and said angrily: "My Royal Highness the Prince, you have caused a big disaster, do you know!" If you move your army without any order, how will the emperor see you in the eyes of the emperor? ”
Zhu Hai was carried away by the meritorious service just now, and now that he has sobered up, coupled with Qian Yiai's reminder, Zhu Hai is covered in a cold sweat.
Zhu Hai grabbed Qian Yiai and asked, "What can I do about this?" Zigao, do you want to save this palace? ”
Qian Yiai sighed, and was about to speak, when a group of people walked in outside the door, looking at the brocade guards who were patrolling the street.
This restaurant is the property of the Tong family, and Tong Yangjia has a good relationship with Qian Lide, so naturally he is also taken care of here. So after the head of the steward was separated, someone went to the street to find the brocade guard.
These brocade guards were headed by a hundred households, and he received a report that someone in the Tong family restaurant had made trouble and killed someone, so he hurriedly led people to the scene and saw five hundred people wearing East Palace guards present.
The hundred households were officials in Beijing, naturally they were exquisite, and now when they saw the people in the East Palace here, they couldn't help but secretly scream in their hearts that they were unlucky, how could they have anything to do with the people in the East Palace. But now there's no way, can you still leave if you've already come? The hundred households had no choice but to step forward and ask, "Who is making trouble here?" ”
Qianhu of the East Palace stood up and scolded: "You bastard, you can't do it blindly, don't you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" ”
Qian Yiai saw Jinyiwei coming, and with a roll of his eyes, he came up with a good solution, and he stepped forward and scolded: "You blind thing, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you come forward to salute?" After speaking, he pointed at Zhu Hai with his hand.
Zhu Hai is still wearing regular clothes, Qian Yiai lit up the prince's four-clawed dragon pattern jade pendant on Zhu Hai's waist, and the brocade guard saw that this could not be faked, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "He Kun, a subordinate of the Jinyi Guard, led his subordinates to patrol the streets, I heard that the people reported that there was a murder here, and I didn't know that the prince was here!" Subordinates to the prince Chitose greetings! ”
Zhu Hai nodded and said, "Well, good!" Get up! ”
At this time, Qian Yiai pulled Zhu Hai's sleeve and asked him not to speak first, and then Qian Yiai said: "He Kun, it is we who reported the case!" The prince came out to eat in a white dragon suit tonight, who knew that the steward was rude to the prince, so he was killed by the guards of the East Palace! Do you know how to report tonight's events? ”
Qian Yiai's meaning is to detain all the basins on that steward, first hide the matter of the prince's private mobilization of troops tonight, and as for how the king of Chu and Tong Ge Lao explained later.
He Kun, who was a hundred households in Jinyi, was also a sensible person, knowing that such a noble person didn't want to have much trouble, so he hurriedly said: "My subordinates know what to do!" Please rest assured! ”
Qian Yiai nodded, as long as he concealed it tonight, the first thing he would do after returning to the city was to give the emperor a secret fold, and when the time came, everything would be detained on the head of the king of Chu, maybe the prince's responsibility would be smaller. But how do you know that people are not as good as heaven, and there is a king of Chu in the house.
Although the guards of the East Palace did not listen to the orders of the King of Chu, they did not dare to put the King of Chu on a rope, after all, he was the prince. Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, listened to Qian Yi's love in the house reversing black and white, and jumped angrily in the house, but there was no way, the door was blocked by the guards of the East Palace, and he couldn't get out.
Zhu Huai knew that he was in charge tonight, and if he didn't take advantage of the fact that he would make the matter known all over the city now, he would be the one who would be unlucky at that time. Thinking of this, Zhu Huai couldn't take care of the majesty of the prince, and saw that the door was blocked by the guards of the East Palace, but there were still windows that were not blocked. Zhu Huai's eyes closed and his heart was horizontal, and he slammed his head against the window and jumped out.
Before Zhu Huai's body like a meat ball hit the ground, he shouted: "Someone, this king is the king of Chu, the prince is going to murder this king, come and help!" ”
Qian Yiai's heart sank when she heard Zhu Huai's shout, and she knew that this matter was a big deal tonight.
When He Kun heard Zhu Huai shouting like this, he knew that the matter was not as simple as that person said, and hurriedly asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what's going on with this?" At the same time, the people of Jinyiwei drew their swords to protect Zhu Huai.
Qian Yiai sighed when he saw things like this, there is no way now, don't look at the lack of Jinyiwei, but if you do it to Jinyiwei, it will be the end of the rebellion. Now the only way to do this is to report to the emperor and wait for the emperor to deal with it.
He Kun was very scared in his heart, he brought less than fifty people in total, and now there are five hundred people in the East Palace, if the prince's mind moves slightly, he will definitely be divided by the blade.
He Kun said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the case is unknown, his subordinates can only report this case to their superiors, please return to the city!" ”
Zhu Hai sighed, now there are only two ways to go, one is to rebel directly, but now the military power in Nanjing is in the hands of Qian Yong, and there are only 3,000 people in his hands, and the rebellion is not enough for Qian Yong to kill. The second way is to go back to the house to listen to his father's punishment, Zhu Hai thought about it and had to take people into the city and return to the East Palace.
Seeing the prince lead people away, Zhu Huai and He Kun both breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Huai didn't care about the bruises on his head, patted He Kun's shoulder and said, "Okay, this king remembers you, remember to come tomorrow to receive the reward!" After Zhu Huai finished speaking, he couldn't care about the injury on his head, so he hurriedly went into the city to find his grandfather Tong Yangjia to discuss how to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down the crown prince Zhu Hai in one fell swoop.
He Kun saw that the King of Chu was also gone, and sighed in his heart, now he has also been involved in the battle for succession, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse!
The crown prince Zhu Hai took people into the city, and asked Qian Yiai beside him on the way: "Zigao, this time it was the negligence of the palace, what do you say should be done next?" ”
Qian Yiai sighed and said, "Hey! Your Highness! Why are you so anxious? Why don't you consult with me about this kind of important matter? Now we're very passive! ”
"Zigao, the palace doesn't know that the result can be like this, and now the top priority is how to explain to the father!"
Qian Yiai is smart, but he has too little political experience, so he has no choice but to go to Lao Niao for help.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, now I can only go and ask Lord Ma for help, see what he can do!"
Master Ma is Ma Mingyuan, although he was dismissed, he still lives in Beijing. Zhu Hai thought about it for a while, so he had to do this, Qian Yiai got Zhu Hai's consent to leave the team and run to Ma Mingyuan's other courtyard outside the city.
