On the second day, he went to court. After all the civil and military officials came, the emperor was late. He walked to the throne, looked down for a moment, and said unhappily, "All here?" ”

"Go back to the emperor," Gonggong Li, who was beside him, knelt down and said respectfully: "The regent is not here." ”

is waiting for this sentence, the emperor is not surprised, he just wants to indirectly tell the ministers how rude the regent is to him. In this way, when he is eliminated in the future, there will be a valid reason.

He leaned back on the dragon chair and said lazily: "Zhong Aiqing has something important to do recently?" ”

Of course, what he called "sometimes deserved" was all about the regent, preferably so serious that he could reprimand him to his face.

"Back to the emperor," immediately a "enlightened" minister came out, hugged his fists and said: "The flooding in Hexi is serious, and the disaster victims are fleeing in large numbers, which has caused a lot of panic in various places, and the regent has obviously received the order, but he is reluctant to leave, and the minister is worried that it will go on for a long time, which is not a thing." ”

The emperor nodded and echoed, "Where did the regent go?" ”

"Back to the emperor," another said, "the regent has left for Hexi last night." ”

"What?"

The emperor's face changed instantly. He didn't tell the regent about the flooding in Hexi, and he specially asked people to hide it from him, logically speaking, he shouldn't have known about it, but now, someone told him that he went to Hexi?

According to Yun Jingyao's steady strength, he will definitely be able to do things properly when he goes to Hexi, and at that time, won't the people only know the regent, but not the emperor?

After learning that Yun Jingyao had left for Hexi, the emperor's face was very bad until he went down to the court.

After the next court, the emperor was about to return to the palace, but was stopped by the third prince. The emperor stopped and looked back at the third prince, he looked a little embarrassed, and there was a hint of inexplicable joy in his embarrassment.

The third prince walked over, tried his best to restrain the joy in his heart, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the regent deceived people too much, after he left, he gave me all the big and small matters in the court, I am just a mediocre person, where will there be so many, please find someone else." ”

Eighty percent of the things that the regent took over were deliberately done by the emperor in order to make things difficult for the regent, and what was even worse was that no one could do it except the regent.

Of course, these are not the main purposes of the three princes, the purpose of his coming to the emperor is to create an opportunity for the emperor to target the regent, so that he can focus all his attention on the regent. Only then will he be able to act.

Sure enough, the emperor's brows tightened, and he quickly stretched his eyebrows. When he looked up again, the emperor smiled with a sunny face, "You have worked hard, I have not thought it through, in the past few days, you will not have to worry about the regent's affairs for the time being, I will find a way." ”

After sending off the three princes, the emperor lowered his face and said to the people around him: "Send someone to keep an eye on the three princes." ”

Woe to the third prince who suddenly came to him so actively, he didn't believe it was because he couldn't control the stall left by the regent.

At the same time, Hexi, who was supposed to be the regent, did not see the regent's people at all. The man who came was just an unremarkable man with a body similar to that of the regent. And the man kept reassuring them that he could get rid of the flood.

The petty officials trembled and did not dare to ask anything.

On the other side, in the grove outside the capital, the convoy of the Three Princes tracked by Yun Jingyao himself was finally ready to go. He saw the third prince see off the coachman and handed over a bag of silver to the coachman.

The third prince looked around, looking very cautious. After making sure that no one was watching, he turned back to the coachman and motioned for them to leave.

The coachman got into the carriage, whipped his horse, and went on the road. There were four or five carriages, and there were many killers disguised as bodyguards on both sides. Hiring so many people to go to the border pass, the third prince is really generous.

As soon as the third prince sent the person away with his front foot, Yun Jingyao stepped forward with his back foot and knocked him unconscious. When he woke up again, the third prince found himself lying in a strange place. He had a bad heart, and just wanted to get up, but found that his hands and feet were tied.

He struggled to sit up from the ground, desperately tearing at the rope that bound his hands in an attempt to get out as quickly as possible.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chains ringing outside, and the three princes' eyes widened, and they tore the rope on their hands even more desperately, but the next moment, the door opened.

Yun Jingyao pushed the door and entered, staring at the third prince condescendingly, "Awake?" ”

When the third prince saw Yun Jingyao, he was even more frightened than seeing a ghost, his face was pale, he stepped back again and again, and said in surprise: "Aren't you leaving?" Why ......"

Yun Jingyao tugged at the corners of his mouth, "If you let me go, I'll leave?" ”

After speaking, as soon as he waved his hand, someone outside the door moved a chair in, followed by Su Mujin.

Originally, Su Mujin planned to check on the third prince by herself after Yun Jingyao went to Hexi, but Yun Jingyao not only did not leave, but told her that he wanted to surprise her. She never expected that the surprise in his mouth would be such a surprise method.

First, if he doesn't go to Hexi, it is tantamount to committing the crime of defrauding the king, and second, his kidnapping of the emperor's son is tantamount to despising the king, is he crazy? Thinking about it so, Su Mujin was more moved in her heart.

She walked up to Yun Jingyao and said to the third prince: "Third prince, now that the prince has kidnapped you, he has completely torn his face with you, you better tell me obediently, where is my daughter." ”

The third prince was a little flustered, he pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what you're talking about, lord, what will the emperor think if you treat me like this?" If you let me go, I'll act as if nothing happened in front of me. ”

Hasn't happened? Su Mujin said in a condensed voice: "Fight!" ”

As soon as her voice fell, the men next to her immediately rushed forward. Grabbing the third prince is a beating. In just a moment, the third prince was stunned, and he shouted: "I say, I will say everything." ”

Su Mujin stopped his hand, motioned for his subordinates to go down, and said lightly: "Say." ”

The third prince sat up, coughed heavily, and blood was spit out of his mouth and dripped on his clothes, and he said, "Inside the warehouse of the Baiyun shop in the south of the city. ”

After speaking, he looked up, "I said, you can let me go, right?" ”

However, as soon as he looked up, he was met by a cold sound of the door closing. Yun Jingyao and Su Mujin are gone. Those who had just punched and kicked the Third Prince lifted him up from the ground, dragged him to a chair without hesitation, and tied him to it with a rope.
