Chapter 213: Pushing the Boat Downstream
The third prince asked uncertainly, "What did you say, he fled to the prince's mansion?" ”
The guard affirmed: "Yes, at present, the subordinates have made people covertly surrounded in the Prince's Mansion, and please ask Your Highness to decide!" ”
"Prince's Mansion" The third prince squinted and sneered: "This is someone who wants to kill me, it is clear that he is trying to frame me, but I have no choice, it is really poisonous!" ”
"That," the guard hesitated.
"Let's go, I'll go ask for someone personally!" The third prince thought about it slightly, and he already had a countermeasure.
When the third prince came to the prince's mansion, he saw that the prince's servant in the prince's mansion was pinching his waist and scolding angrily, and it was natural to be scolded, after all, the prince's mansion is the residence of the prince of the country, and he was rashly surrounded, except for the rebellion, no one dared to do this under normal circumstances.
The third prince looked at the left and right majestically and said, "You didn't run out!" ”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will defend it strictly, even if it is a fly, it will not fly out!" There was a leading non-commissioned officer laughing with him.
The third prince looked up at the majestic prince's mansion, and his eyes were unusually dazzling, and he walked to the regular servant who didn't dare to say anything when he saw the third prince and said: "This king was stabbed the day before yesterday, and some subordinates saw the thief hiding in the prince's mansion with their own eyes. ”
The prince's face changed, and he immediately hurriedly walked in, the movement in the middle of the night was not small, the prince had already been disturbed, and looked at the darkness outside with a gloomy face.
The housekeeper walked towards the prince and whispered, and the prince's eyes flashed: "Can you see clearly in the backyard and other places?" ”
The housekeeper nodded affirmatively and said, "The guards in the palace have all checked it, and even the residences of the concubines have been checked, and no suspicious people have been found!" ”
"Reply to the third brother, tell him that the palace has cleared the house, and let him leave quickly!" The prince said impatiently.
The housekeeper received the order, quickly retreated, and came to the third prince and said respectfully: "The crown prince, the people in the palace have already checked the possible hiding place of the assassins in the palace, and there is no one His Highness is looking for, it is late at night at this time, please rest early." ”
The third prince said calmly: "A few days ago, one of the king's hands was broken, and it hasn't been good yet, the king finally trapped the thief, you dare to let the king go back to rest, then do you know that this king is also doing this for the prince's safety, this thief is bold, if you hurt the prince, you can be responsible?" This king knows that the prince has always been benevolent, but the royal brother remembers that the imperial brother is safe, since the imperial brother does not attach importance to this, then the imperial brother can only do it for him, and the soldiers listen to the order! Search for me! ”
The butler's face suddenly changed and said, "No! This is the place where His Majesty ordered someone to build, and it is the place of the prince."
Before the words fell, the third prince had already strode in, and the housekeeper stomped his feet angrily and said, "Go and call Lord Xu over!" ”
After confessing, the person has already walked in, and constantly intercepted the three princes who had made up their minds to search.
When the prince saw it from a distance, he clenched his fists angrily, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "It's really getting more and more excessive, more and more excessive!" ”
When the third prince came to the crown prince, he said apologetically: "The royal brother is worried about the safety of the imperial brother, and I hope the imperial brother will not care!" ”
Even though the prince was angry and bloody, his teeth were crushed, he still squeezed out a smile and said: "Haha, thank you for your concern, this palace is naturally fine, but you came in with such fanfare, and you also brought a blade, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules!" ”
"If you are in a hurry, you can only let the imperial brother be wronged!" The third prince arched his hand, but there was a hint of apology.
The prince couldn't keep calm anymore, and said angrily: "Third brother, do you know what you're doing? ”
"Of course I know, the imperial brother just wants to protect the imperial brother, is it wrong to do so?" The third prince asked rhetorically.
The crown prince looked at the three princes with a gloomy face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The third prince waved his hand, and immediately followed the many guards behind him to rush to the inner house, the prince sat on the chair trembling angrily, and Xu Wending, who hurried to hear the news, came to the front hall to see the three princes with a leisurely face and the prince with an angry face, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" ”
The prince looked at Xu Wending with slight dissatisfaction, he didn't expect Xu Wending to come so slowly, so much, and he was surrounded for so long before he came now, it was incredible, and the meaning was intriguing.
Xu Wending also smiled bitterly in his heart, originally he would not believe that the third prince dared to enter the prince's mansion, but he didn't expect to really enter, not only entered, but also sent someone to search for it, and tomorrow I don't know how many ministers will have to fight for this matter.
Xu Wending bowed down and said: "Since Weichen took office as Jing Zhaoyin, there has been no such major matter in the jurisdiction, although His Royal Highness was assassinated a few days ago, but in the middle of the night rashly searching the Prince's Mansion is afraid that it is not in line with the reason, and the law is not in agreement, and please leave quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain tomorrow in the court!" ”
The third prince was immediately angry when Xu Wending said this: "Could it be that the murderer of this king who was assassinated is close at hand, and he can't be arrested?" Lord Xu, don't forget, you Jing Zhaoyin haven't given an explanation to this king until now! ”
"If you want to explain to the lower officials, you will naturally give it, but Your Highness, don't forget, this backyard is where the ladies are, and these soldiers are all vulgar men!" Xu Wending looked at the eldest grandson Changde with a serious face.
The third prince laughed as if he had just remembered, and said apologetically: "Thanks to Lord Xu's reminder, this king didn't expect it for a while, come and withdraw!" ”
After that, he said even more apologetically to the prince, who had a straight face: "Today is the emperor's brother who is reckless, and he will be guilty of setting up a banquet another day!" "I left without looking back.
Xu Wending was a little dazed, and the prince was the same, and in an instant, the prince arranged: "Quick!" Let someone look carefully for me to see if there are any things left here by the Three Princes! ”
Xu Wending watched the prince arrange it and breathed a sigh of relief: "The next official is late, and I ask His Royal Highness for forgiveness!" ”
The prince glanced at Xu Wending gloomily and said, "It's okay, it's just that the third brother of this palace came out so rashly, why did he come out like this?" ”
Xu Wending thought about it for a while, and suddenly his complexion changed, and he said bitterly: "I'm afraid that it is, I'm afraid that tonight this thing is for Your Majesty to see!" ”
"What?" The prince was shocked.
"More precisely, it is for His Majesty and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!" Xu Wending also regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have stayed at home in the first place, he didn't expect the three princes to come to such a good show, I am afraid that even if the assassin is really in the mansion, the three princes don't plan to really look for too long, this move is just to let everyone see what the three princes can do that ordinary people can't do, not arrogant, but pressing step by step.
Xu Wending thought about it carefully, the first step was to stay at home and go wrong, and the second step was wrong again, he shouldn't come over again, if he let the third prince continue to look for it, tomorrow the prince and the princess will cry in front of His Majesty, and he can turn the situation around, but his own coming has perfectly fallen into the plan of the three princes.
Sighing and repeating his speculation, the prince slammed the ceramics on the table to the ground and said, "Eldest grandson Changde, you deceive people too much!" ”
Xu Wending closed his eyes and pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid that this matter will make His Highness's prestige fall tomorrow, please don't panic, after all, you are the prince of the country, and no one dares to move this position!" ”
"What's the use, what's the use of you telling this palace, I didn't expect my third brother to dare to be so blatant now! Yes, yes! The prince laughed angrily.
Xu Wending couldn't say anything more, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, as the prince, you can let the soldiers in the palace block the door, and wait until tomorrow for Your Majesty to decide, you will really let them in, which is inappropriate in itself, but this is not suitable in itself, but this is not spoken, and only when the prince's mood stabilized did he say: "Don't worry, prince, you must remember not to mention this matter tomorrow, if Your Majesty asks, you just need to tell it normally, and by the way, intercede for the third prince!" ”
"What are you talking about, and you want this palace to intercede for him?" The prince said incredulously.
Xu Wending sighed slightly and whispered to the prince, the prince looked dissatisfied, but finally nodded. (To be continued.) )
