Chapter 50: The Mansion of the King of Zhou

"This ...... This ......"

After listening to Wentian's words, Childe's face finally changed, and he also looked a little at a loss. But people are lucky, and Childe settled down and said, "It's going to be fine...... It's going to be fine...... It is impossible for that child to see our appearance clearly, and when the little prince only needs to deny us to death, what can Yue Su do? This kind of unauthorized departure from the fiefdom, the little prince will not admit it if he is killed, and he will not dare to torture the little prince without real evidence. ”

"What you said is right, the little prince will definitely not recruit, but listen to my two apprentices, the little prince fell off the horse that day, isn't this the ironclad proof of running out of the city?" Wentian said with a smile.

"There is also a racetrack in the palace, as long as you bite to death and fall on the racetrack of the palace, and then find some guards from the palace to testify, it's okay." Childe said eagerly.

"What you said is not bad, but Yue Su is a person who has a very good set of trials, he doesn't dare to beat the little prince, doesn't he dare to beat the little prince's guards? Even coaxing and intimidation, with Yue Su's methods, it should still be very possible to ask. Wentian said.

"Then kill all the guards!" As soon as he said this, Childe's eyes lit up again, and he said: "I have a way, let the little prince kill all the guards who followed that day, and then said that he fell on the horse farm, because these people were unfavorable to guard, so they were all executed." ”

In the end, Childe's voice was fierce. If he has the ability, it is estimated that he can kill Zhu Gong. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to kill the little prince.

"This method of yours is feasible, but once it is found out by Yue Su, it will be a catastrophe. Don't say anything else, just inform the palace of the extinction, in case a little news leaks and let Yue Su know, your father's reputation will be ruined. I advise you to think about it carefully, and don't involve the master in everything. Wen Tian said coldly. Obviously, he was still not satisfied with the little prince's handling of the opinions.

"Yes...... Can...... But if you don't inform the little prince to prepare in advance, Yue Su will ask about this matter, and he will not miss it immediately. Childe stammered.

"I have an idea, you will now go to the Yamen with the little prince to surrender, and the general judgment has a friendship with the master, it can be said that it came on the day of the crime, and then the king of Zhou will give the emperor a plea, won't he kill a small common man, I think the most is to reprimand, there is no big deal." As for the son, after all, it wasn't you who killed the kid to kill him, Yue Su didn't blame him more for the sake of the master's affection. Wen Tian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes......" Hearing this, Gongzi nodded again and again, and said happily: "Uncle Tian, why didn't you say this idea earlier, it made me worry for a long time." It's not me who killed people, and the little prince was just injured by mistake, as long as he voluntarily surrendered, there should be no big deal. ”

"Heh......" Wentian sneered and said: "This is the case, but after all, it is a dead person, with Yue Su's temper, even if he doesn't kill the son and the little prince, he has to cut off two heads." Since it was a surrender, the person who killed the child and killed him always had to be handed over to Yue Su. ”

"Ah......" Hearing this, Childe's head shook like a rattle, and he hurriedly said, "No, this is not good." Those people are all my confidants, and they are all loyal, knowing that they are dead, how can they be handed over to Yue Su. Again, if I betray them, they shall not betray me. No, absolutely not......"

When Childe said this, his eyes rolled and he said, "Uncle Tian, I think it's better to say that they ran away." They were hiding in the secret room, and even if Yue Su searched the mansion, it was estimated that they would not be able to find it. ”

"Ran away, Childe, you said lightly, even I won't believe this nonsense, let alone Yue Su." Wen Tian said contemptuously: "You said that they ran away, if I were Yue Su, I would definitely ask you why they ran, but you gave an explanation." ”

"Absconded in fear of sin." Childe hurriedly said.

"Absconding in fear of crime? It was the little prince who killed the person, why did your servant go to kill people for no reason, and then absconded in fear of crime, but you said a reason? Wentian asked with a disdainful smile.

"This ......" asked the question, leaving Childe speechless, there is no reason at all, no matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense. However, Gongzi's reaction was quite fast, and then he said: "Then if I go to surrender with the little prince, even if I take them with me, Yue Su asked, how can I answer?" ”

"You can deduce that it was the two of them who deliberately asked for merit and reward, so they killed people without permission. After you saw it, it was already over, so you ordered the two to be kidnapped and surrendered. Because the two resisted, they were killed in the scuffle, and handed over to Yue Su two corpses. If the others insist on this, Yue Su will have doubts in his heart......" Speaking of this, Wen Tian raised his head and sighed: "Maybe I will stop for the sake of your father's affection." Anyway, you didn't kill the person, give the deceased an explanation, that is. ”

"This ...... If I kill two of them, how will the others die for me again? Otherwise, just say ...... When I ordered the two men to turn themselves in, they heard this and fled immediately, but my men did not catch up. Uncle Tian, what do you think of that? Childe said self-righteously.

"Then kill them together, anyway, they know so much about you, just kill them." Wen Tian said coldly: "Yue Su can give your father a little face, but he will never tolerate others playing him as a child." Your subordinates, plus the palace guards, can't even capture just two people, who would believe this. It is ridiculous to say that they are dead, and there are extenuating circumstances, but to say that they escaped. ”

"Uncle Tian, these thirteen people are all my henchmen, and they are very capable of doing things, and they can't be killed." Gongzi said in embarrassment: "Otherwise, I'll go and tell the little prince to let him kill his guards, and then when Yue Su arrives, he will deduce that he fell from the racetrack, and then I will tell him again, even if the matter leaks, don't leak out the matter I informed him." only said that after he returned home, he would kill Hu Cong. I'm sure he'll say yes. At that time, Yue Su can only try him alone, as long as he doesn't say it, I still don't believe it, Yue Su can use torture to extract a confession. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Wentian to speak, he stood up directly and walked outside. Wentian glanced at his back, shook his head, and sighed in a low voice: "You underestimate Yue Su too much, you are stubborn and self-serving, you don't know what to choose, and it is difficult to become a big thing." ”

A few days later, Yue Su returned to Kaifeng. After entering the city, Zou Jiaren and Wang Linhe said goodbye first, and Yue Su asked Ruan Aoyue to take the county lord back and forth to the governor's yamen to rest, and took the escort army to the palace of the king of Zhou.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, a palace guard immediately stepped forward and asked: "This is the palace of the king of Zhou, I don't know if this lord has a big name, what is the noble thing to do in the palace, and the small one is good to enter the mansion." ”

This guard still has the ability to see the price, and knows how to look at the style and complement of the opponent's official uniform, and identify the grade. Yue Su is now wearing a crimson official robe, a jade belt around his waist, and an immortal crane complement, and he knows at a glance that he is a first-class official. In the whole of Henan, there is no such a big official, I heard that there is a new governor in Henan, 'Yue Shaved Head', but he received the title of the second grade criminal department, looking at the clothing, this person's official position should be above the 'Yue Shaved Head', I don't know which nobleman. This kind of adult is coming, the prince will not slack off, he is a small guard guard, how dare he be disrespectful.

Yue Su didn't speak, but Yang Yishan walked over, took out Yue Su's name card and handed it over, and said: "My lord is the emperor's newly sealed young guard, and the current governor of Henan, Lord Yue. This is a famous post, please forward it to King Zhou Chitose. ”

The guard took the post and heard that it was 'Yue Shaved Head' who came to the door, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and then he nodded and responded: "Yes, yes......"

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran into the palace.

After a while, the middle door of the palace opened, and the master of the palace went out to greet him, "Congratulations to Lord Yue on his promotion to Shaobao, my prince is very happy to hear that the lord has come to the door, and he has been waiting in the Yin'an Palace, please inside." ”

Yue Su jumped off the horse, arched his hand, and said, "Thank you, lead the way." After speaking, he walked straight into the palace.

When he went to Luoyang, Shang Fang's sword and three bronze guillotines were to be brought with him, and now he returned to Kaifeng, and he did not return to the governor's yamen, but went directly to the palace. Now Yue Su entered the door, Jin Chan followed closely with Shang Fang's sword in his arms, and Tie Qi commanded the soldiers, carrying the guillotine and walking towards the palace.

The rules of the palace and the palace are actually not much different, and they are not allowed to enter with weapons, so the guards guarding the door hurriedly stopped them and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. The palace has a rule that people are forbidden to bring an inch of iron into it. ”

When Jin Chan and Tie Qiu saw that they were not allowed to enter, they immediately shouted loudly: "My lord, they won't let us in." ”

Yue Su turned his head and said, "Why don't you let it?" ”

The master hurriedly said: "My lord, although the palace is not as good as the palace, there is also a clear system, and it is forbidden for people to enter with an inch of iron. ”

"Oh." Yue Su nodded and said, "I see. It's just ......" as he spoke, Yue Su pointed to the golden cicada and said, "The sword that my attendant is holding is the sword of Shangfang given by the emperor today, you can see ......"

"This ......" the master bookkeeper reacted quickly, and hurriedly said: "This is naturally a different matter, let it go quickly." ”

Jin Chan walked to Yue Su's side with Shang Fang's sword in his hand, but Tie Qiu and the others were stopped again. I saw the master book politely say, "My lord, that one...... The Shang Fang Sword can naturally enter...... Other weapons...... Just ......"

Yue Su smiled and said, "These three bronze guillotines are also a gift from the emperor. ”

"Ah......" Seeing Yue Su say this, the master had no choice but to say: "Since it is a gift from the emperor...... Naturally, you can enter, but it's just the swords on these people......"

Yue Su didn't seem to be too lazy to talk nonsense with him, as soon as he stretched out his hand towards Jin Cicada, Jin Cicada immediately presented Shang Fang's sword, and then heard Yue Su say loudly: "Shang Fang's sword is here, such as long live today!" ”

Yue Su's subordinates have long been accustomed to it, as soon as Yue Su shows his sword and lights up this slogan, the big guy immediately kneels down and shouts: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

This time, the chief secretary of the palace and those guards had to kneel down the mountain and shout long live.

Yue Su chuckled lightly and said, "The headquarters is holding the sword of Shang Fang here, if Your Majesty comes in person, and the people who accompany the guards, will the palace also stop it?" ”

"This ......"

Where is the emperor, who dares to stop the people accompanying the guards, Yue Su showed the emperor's signboard, and the main book naturally couldn't stop it anymore, so he had to shout: "Please, ......please, please."

Yue Su saw that the majesty was already sufficient, of course he would not be embarrassed any more, handed over the sword to the golden cicada, turned around and walked inward. His escort army, in fact, has already been ordered, there is no need to come in too much, it is enough to have a hundred or so people. The master book got up, followed and followed, leading Yue Su to the Yin'an Palace.

Outside the palace, Yue Su only brought the golden cicada inside, according to the regulations, the golden cicada is not allowed to enter, how can he now hold the sword of Shang Fang in his arms, and the master book does not dare to touch this brow again, so he will open his eyes and close his eyes.

Coming to the Yin'an Palace, Yue Su rushed up and arched his hand, "Yue Su, the governor of Henan, Xiaguan, see King Chitose of Zhou." ”

When Yue Su entered the door, someone had already made it clear to King Zhou, and although King Zhou was angry with Yue Su's arrogance, he was also helpless. waved his hand and said: "Lord Yue is exempt, I heard that my lord is patrolling Henan and is entangled in official business, I don't know why I have time to come to the Lone King's Mansion today?" That's right, take a look. ”

A eunuch brought a chair and asked Yue Su to sit aside, while Jin Chan consciously stood behind Yue Su.

Yue Su arched his hand upwards again and said: "The lower official was ordered to patrol Henan and provide relief to the victims, and he had long planned to visit the prince, but he was entangled in official business and had no spare time. Before that, he was invited to go to Luoyang to go to the Longmen meeting, and now he just returned, and he just came to the palace to ask for peace. ”

"I see." King Zhou said two more polite words, Yue Su also talked casually, chatted for a while, but heard Yue Su say: "I don't know how many princes there are under the prince's knees." ”

"The lonely king has four sons, what does it mean when you ask?" As soon as he heard Yue Su mention his son, King Zhou's heart "chuckled" and said secretly: "Is he really here for this?" ”

It turned out that the day before yesterday, the prince Zhu Gongfang suddenly asked to see him with an injury, saying that he secretly went out of the city and killed someone. This was not a big deal, but Zhu Gongfang said that Yue Su probably already knew that it was a small matter to kill people, and he was afraid that he would impeach him for leaving the city without a will, with bad intentions. This kind of thing can be big or small, if the emperor is in a good mood, at most he will reprimand two sentences, and if he is in a bad mood, it is also possible to issue an order to cut the domain.

The prince is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Zhu Di's descendants are crowned kings, as long as you don't rebel, things like this are generally reprimanded. But if Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are crowned kings, they will be hereditary until now, and the treatment will be different. Who let the Zhengde period have the matter of King Ning, and the successor emperor has more control over the vassal kings left by his ancestors. In the early days, there were 3,000 guards in the palace, and now the regulations are only 1,000. As long as you are over-compiled, you will inevitably have bad intentions.

Sure enough, at this time, I heard Yue Su say lightly: "The lower official is here, but there is also a small official business, that is, I heard a report from someone that a prince in the palace went out of the city on the first day of the first day of October, and I don't know if I asked for a request, so I came to ask." ”

"Out of town?" King Zhou pretended to be confused, shook his hand and said, "Impossible, impossible...... The sons of the lonely king are all following the rules, how can they go out of the city without a purpose. ”

"Since the prince said so, the little official is relieved. You also know that there are rules in the imperial court, if the vassal king goes out of the city without asking for an order, as a magistrate, he must be cut down and reinforced, and the lower officials really dare not slack off. By the way, the prince, I don't know if I can invite a few little princes to come out to meet, and the lower officials want to confirm it. ”
