Chapter 505: Breaking with the Three Princes
The emperor's story, Zhu Xi felt very confused when he heard it. It's not logical at all, and I didn't see how much the emperor liked Xie Huanting, so he wanted to build a palace and set up a statue to miss the beauty.
Among them, there must be many episodes that the emperor did not say. Otherwise, the beginning and the end will not be connected at all.
Although the true king had already seen through the emperor's concealment and only said what was good for him, the real king did not intervene and pointed out the far-fetched content in the emperor's story to his face.
The Emperor seemed to be mired in painful memories, but there was no tear in his eyes.
"Therefore, I have been as young as you as the true king, and I have also been able to abandon the upcoming country for the sake of the woman I love. But women are selfish, and they are not as determined as men. Therefore, it is easy to be influenced by the outside world. Men should put their minds on their careers, and only when they become famous can they not worry about liking their women. Just like me, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, which one is not looking forward to it every day, waiting for my favor? ”
"Zhenwang, you are still young, thinking that you can only love one woman in your life. In fact, such an idea is wrong, a man's journey is a sea of stars, why hang himself on a tree? The age of the true king is a good time to make a contribution. Although Princess Anle is my daughter, I also hope that the true king and the princess Qin Se will be harmonious, but you are a dignified ****, a lord for generations, you can't just take care of your own small family and forget to take care of everyone."
The emperor repeatedly reminded that a bit of a mother-in-law mother-in-law. When he saw that the true king was ashamed, but he didn't say anything, his mentality almost collapsed.
didn't want to move, the real king is still a character who doesn't eat oil and salt. In vain, I made so many arrangements today, and told my love story. But obviously, none of this can impress the other party.
So, the emperor immediately changed his strategy and asked, "I heard that the prince was kidnapped by thieves?" Princess Anle was attacked and gave birth prematurely? ”
The emperor knew all this, and the true king was not surprised. So, he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for asking." The son has been rescued. The princess was attacked by thieves and gave birth to a baby prematurely. Due to the exhaustion of productivity, he is still in a coma and sleeping."
"The son of the world was saved? That's good" The emperor was surprised when he heard that the prince of the True King's Mansion had been rescued, but there was no surprise. He thought that it was the true king's people who rescued the son, so he didn't ask much, "Has the thief who kidnapped the son been caught?" Do you know who is so bold as to kidnap the prince of the real palace in Kyoto? Also, you just said that An Le was attacked by thieves and gave birth prematurely? What's going on? ”
The emperor asked anxiously, but the true king did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly recounted the incident.
When the emperor heard this, he was also shocked, "There is such a vicious subordinate." It seems that it is not safe in the real king's mansion. ”
"Your Majesty is angry, this is a matter of taking the minister lightly. I thought that no one would do anything to children and pregnant women, but I didn't expect that people who really had such a bad damage would not even let go of children and pregnant women"
"Listening to the tone of the true king, it seems that he already knows who did it to An Le and the prince?" The emperor heard that there was some reservation in the words of the true king, so he opened his mouth to ask.
Zhu Xi knew that the emperor would definitely ask questions, which was also the purpose of his appearance this time. Because he already knew that the reason why Xianglian returned to Beijing from Xiangyang City was because someone found her, bewitched Xianglian, and asked her to find a way to get close to Song Yi and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
And the people behind the scenes only knew when they caught the kidnappers in Jiyun Mountain. It turned out that Zhu Youde and the others took advantage of the drunken sleep of the kidnappers who were guarding them, and secretly ran out of the broken temple on the mountain of Jiyun Mountain. Halfway through, I met the lord of Wencheng who went up the mountain to repay his deceased husband's wishes. After the county lord Wencheng rescued Zhu Youde and his three children, he let people go down the mountain overnight, and led the officers and soldiers to arrest the three kidnappers on the mountain, and then set up an ambush around the broken temple, and when the kidnapper's boss went up the mountain to meet the kidnappers on the mountain according to the prior agreement, he wiped them out.
Through interrogation, the truth was learned from the mouths of the four kidnappers. It turned out that it was none other than someone else who bought them and kidnapped the children, it was someone from the Three Princes' Mansion.
When the true king learned the truth, he was very angry. The third prince has attacked his wife and children many times, and once kidnapped Song Yi on the street, causing Song Yi to fall off his horse and be injured, almost dying. Now he has done it again, kidnapping three children and attacking pregnant women. Doing all this has touched the bottom line of the true king. The true king will never let go of the third prince Zhao Hongli no matter what.
But no matter what Zhao Hongli said, he is also a prince, although Zhu Xi is not worried, he can't retaliate with Zhao Hongli. But if you don't want to bear the charge of treason, you must know the emperor's attitude to this matter in advance. Therefore, the purpose of the real king coming to see the emperor today is to tell the emperor that he is going to do something to his son.
From the tone of the true king, the emperor knew that the true king already had a goal. So, he asked, but soon he regretted it.
The true king waited for the emperor to ask this, so he said, "Your Majesty, Xianglian, who assassinated the princess, has committed suicide on the spot, and she can't know from her mouth who is behind the scenes. However, the kidnappers who kidnapped the prince were wiped out in Jiyun Mountain. Through the interrogation of his subordinates, it was learned that someone hired them to kidnap them at the appointed time and place. And the people who hired them were the people around the three princes."
"What do you say? How could this matter have anything to do with Hongli? It's just a bunch of kidnappers, how can they be so sure that the people around the Third Prince hired them? Is this a fraud? "The emperor never thought that this matter would be related to the third child. In his heart, although he never looked down on Zhao Hongli's talent, he knew that he was an honest child. Could it be that all this is an illusion of Zhao Hongli? Does Zhao Hongli also have ambitions to compete for the throne?
The emperor's face was as black as ink, and he was obviously shocked by the words of the true king. But he soon thought that the True King would dare to accuse Zhao Hongli in front of him, could it?
"It's just a bunch of reckless people who are just climbing and biting. Perhaps, it is the real person behind the scenes, who blames the three princes? The Emperor looked at the True King and spoke his thoughts.
Of course, the true king would not be stupid enough to believe the words of the kidnappers without investigating. He also asked Jiang Geng to investigate secretly, and found that in the mansion of the third prince, during the time when the prince was kidnapped, there were indeed suspicious characters who frequently entered and exited. Moreover, he had many ways to tell if what the kidnappers were telling was true. In the face of hard facts, Zhu Xi didn't believe that he had wronged the third prince Zhao Hongli.
"Your Majesty, these things will be confirmed by the minister. However, if this matter is really related to the three princes, the minister is doing his best in Youzhou City, but the minister's wife and children are wantonly trampled on, and the minister is cold."
