Chapter 1263: Shame
As soon as Zhang Yuanda's words fell, a voice had already sneered: "If you want to die, you can die now." As he spoke, he saw several officials surrounding King Qi.
Lu Haosheng frowned slightly when he saw King Qi coming, but Zhang Yuanda and all the officials of the Criminal Department had already knelt down and saluted, "See the prince!" ”
King Qi walked to the gate, and when he saw a group of officials of the criminal department pressed by Hei Press, he became angry and said angrily: "It was Qiu Junhui who asked you to go to the palace?" ”
"Don't dare to be lowly." Zhang Yuanda knelt on the ground and lowered his head, "The prince's status is noble, as a last resort, the lowly rank will never dare to disturb without authorization, it is really a serious case, the lowly rank has been ordered by the lord of the ministry to bring the criminal back for trial." Raising his head slightly, he saw that Wu Tangchun, the young secretary of the Taifu Temple, was behind King Qi, and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth.
King Qi sneered: "What if this king doesn't let you arrest people here today? ”
"Then the lowly rank can only wait here, waiting for the criminal Wu Tangchun to leave the house." Zhang Yuanda immediately replied: "The lowly rank does not dare to trespass into the palace to offend the prince, but where the duty lies, he does not dare to return in vain." ”
"You ......!" King Qi was furious and said loudly: "Ma Zhongheng, drive them out of this street ......!" ”
Ma Zhongheng was about to give an order, but Lu Haosheng had already said in a deep voice: "Wait." ”
King Qi turned his eyes to Lu Haosheng, Lu Haosheng had already come over and said softly: "Your Highness, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, they are the officials of the Criminal Department, they hold the evidence, arrest the prisoners, there is reason and evidence, if Your Highness blocks it, I am afraid that this matter will make a bigger ......!" Glancing outside the door, he saw that the officials of the Criminal Department were all kneeling outside the palace, and he lowered his voice and said: "If Your Highness openly drives away at this time, I am afraid that I will fall into their ......!" ”
After all, King Qi was not a stupid person, and he frowned and asked, "Lu Changshi, in your opinion, what should we do?" ”
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Lu Haosheng said softly: "In the current situation, His Highness can only endure this breath, and he can't clash with them head-on for the time being......!" ”
King Qi said: "Do you want to hand over Wu Tangchun?" ”
Lu Haosheng sighed lightly: "The current situation can only be like this, people will be handed over to them first, and then we will discuss countermeasures...... ”
Wu Tangchun, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, was already pale at this time, and when he saw Lu Haosheng and King Qi whispering, he was extremely nervous in his heart, walked over, and knelt on the ground, "Lord Wang, the lower officials are law-abiding, they want to arrest and take down the officials, that is their conspiracy, Qiu Junzhen fabricated charges and framed Zhongliang, Lord Wang...... Help! ”
King Qi frowned, and Zhang Yuanda was already outside the door at this time and said loudly: "Wu Tangchun, Lord Ministries is still waiting for you in the lobby of the Criminal Department, I advise you not to embarrass the prince!" ”
King Qi still wanted to speak, but Lu Haosheng shook his head and signaled King Qi not to interfere too much at this time.
Wu Tangchun has also been in the officialdom for many years, and he can see it clearly, knowing that Lu Haosheng is persuading King Qi not to get involved in troubled waters at this time, he can only say: "Lord Wang, the lower official will go to the criminal department, and the lower official only hopes that you will be safe and ...... safe!" He bowed his head twice, got up, arched his hand to the officials, said no more, and went out.
As soon as he went out, Zhang Yuanda gave him a look, and several officials of the Criminal Department pounced on him like wolves, and in the blink of an eye, he tied up Wu Tangchun and got acquainted.
Zhang Yuanda got up, arched his hand to the mansion and smiled: "The prince is reasonable, and he has thanked the prince for his humble position." He waved his hand and said, "Take it away." A group of officials from the Criminal Department immediately escorted Wu Tangchun away.
King Qi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, rushed to the gate, and watched the officials of the Criminal Department escort Wu Tangchun away, but he was helpless.
All the officials also looked at each other, and when the king of Qi entered the palace in frustration, an official immediately said angrily: "There is no royal law, and the people from the criminal department actually ran to the palace to arrest people, this is ...... This is just too much. ”
"Lord Wang, the Criminal Department did this, but it didn't take the Lord Wang seriously at all." Another official was indignant: "Although Qiu Junhui is brutal, he doesn't have such courage, if it weren't for the support of someone behind him, he would never dare to be so arrogant and domineering, and no one ...... in his eyes!" ”
"Shut up!" Lu Haosheng shouted in a deep voice, "What do you mean by saying this? ”
The official was stunned, and when he saw that Lu Haosheng's face was not good-looking, he didn't dare to say more.
King Qi looked haggard and a little depressed, Lang Wuxuan was about to come up to speak, Lu Haosheng had already said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the prince has been busy for a day today, it is already late at night, the prince should also rest, you should also go back and rest......!" ”
Everyone knew what Lu Haosheng meant, looked at each other, and King Qi had already waved his hand and said, "Let's go back first, and I'll talk to you another day." ”
Since the king of Qi said this, everyone didn't want to stay long, they all said goodbye and left, Lang Wuxu finally left, and comforted the king of Qi: "Your Highness, you have to take care of your health." ”
King Qi nodded, then clenched his teeth, and said softly: "Lord Lang, the thing you said, hurry up and do it, Qiu Junxi, this mad dog, this king must let him break his body into ten thousand pieces." ”
"Don't worry, the prince will definitely go all out." Lang is not hypocritical.
When Lang Wuxuan left and King Qi returned to the hall, Lu Haosheng said softly: "Your Highness, they are out of order, but you must not mess up the square inch." ”
"Lu Changshi, is this king going to sit back and wait like this?" King Qi frowned.
Lu Haosheng said softly: "Your Highness, forgive me for being bold, with the current strength of the prince, he is not the prince's opponent at all, and he was caught as an official, saying that it was the Qi Wang Party, but they were all disciples of the King of Han at the beginning. His Royal Highness also knows that the princelings and the Han Dynasty have been fighting for many years, and the princelings regard the Han King Party as a thorn in the side. ”
King Qi stared at Lu Haosheng and did not speak.
"These people defected to His Royal Highness, in the final analysis, because they lost their backers and were afraid that the prince would settle accounts after the autumn, so they wanted to borrow His Highness as a refuge." Lu Haosheng said slowly: "Your Highness, don't be dragged into the troubled waters by these people...... ”
"What do you mean?"
"As long as His Highness doesn't act rashly, even if the prince has any thoughts about His Highness, he doesn't dare to do anything to His Highness." Lu Haosheng said with a straight face: "I think that the criminal department is making a big move, firstly, it is to settle accounts with the people of the Han King Party, and secondly, it may not mean that His Royal Highness is involved. The Criminal Department can quickly grasp the evidence of these people's corruption and perversion of the law, which can only show that the back of these people's buttocks is indeed not clean, these people are not clean, if His Highness is involved, I am afraid that those dirty water will splash on His Highness's body. ”
King Qi sat back in his chair thoughtfully.
Lu Haosheng groaned slightly, and continued: "I think that the best countermeasure for His Highness at the moment is to close the door and thank the guests, and he can even be said to be sick, as long as the prince can't catch His Highness's handle, even if they make a lot of trouble, His Highness will be safe and sound." ”
King Qi said lightly: "Do you think they are settling accounts with the Han King Party?" Lu Changshi, don't forget, these people are now cast under the king's door, as the saying goes, check the master, the prince let the criminal department chase them and bite, the king doesn't think they are settling accounts after the autumn, but directly aimed at the king, even if the king is closed, they will come up with a way to deal with the king...... On the contrary, if this king does nothing, he will sit back and wait for death. ”
King Qi may not think that what Lu Haosheng said is reasonable, but there is a matter that has been deeply ingrained in his heart, when he was in Zhongyizhuang, he was almost assassinated and killed, which has become a trace in his heart that will never be forgotten.
After being assassinated, he immediately thought of the prince, but he was not sure, after all, before that, his relationship with the prince was very harmonious, and it was hard to imagine that the prince would do such a thing to him.
But as time passed, the affirmation in his heart became heavier and heavier, and to the point where he was today, he was completely sure that the incident when Zhongyizhuang was assassinated must have been instigated by the prince behind the scenes.
The reason for the instruction, he also thought clearly, it was nothing more than because the prince wanted to inherit the throne, but there were many roadblocks on his way to the throne, and King Qi, who had always been loved by the emperor, was naturally a hard stone in his eyes, and moving this hard stone away was what the prince had to do to get to the throne.
Therefore, the king of Qi is very sure that the prince must be very disappointed when Zhongyizhuang's assassination failed, and he is even more sure that as long as there is a chance, the prince will never show mercy to his subordinates.
It is precisely because of this that this time the criminal department made a big move, and the king of Qi was also very sure in his heart that the prince was obviously going to take advantage of the emperor's northern tour and he was in charge of the country, ready to attack himself.
"Your Highness, even if you are now in a-for-tat confrontation with the crown prince, what can you do?" Lu Haosheng persuaded bitterly: "When the King of Han was in power, the momentum suppressed the princelings, the Han Wang's party was all over the government and the opposition, the Huang Ju family of Anguo Gong, and even the Han King's sworn friend, the King of Han himself was also a civil and military all-rounder, and his scheming was deep, and in the end, the King of Han did not collapse after all, and the prince still sat firmly on the throne of the prince. ”
King Qi frowned.
"The prince's scheming is unfathomable, with all due respect, His Royal Highness is not an opponent against it." Lu Haosheng smiled bitterly: "Your Highness's opportunity lies in the saint, as long as His Highness can be safe and sound, and the saint is green to His Highness, then the prince will be helpless, even if those officials who defected to His Highness are all defeated by the prince, as long as His Highness does not collapse, as long as the saint has His Highness in his heart, then the last laugh will still be His Highness." But if His Royal Highness is dragged in by Lang Wuxuan and those people at such a time, and is caught by the crown prince, His Royal Highness ...... His Royal Highness must be more than lucky. ”
"This king can not go-for-tat with the crown prince." King Qi clenched his hands into fists, and his muscles bulged, "But Qiu Junxi, this mad dog, this king must eradicate it." This king is the prince of Daqin, Qiu Junhui is a cool official, and he dares to send people to the king's house to arrest people, unscrupulous, such a shame and humiliation, if this breath is endured by this king, then the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knows, how can this king have a foothold? Staring at Lu Haosheng, "If the ministers all look down on this king, do you think that even if the father protects this king, can this king still serve the public?" ”
