Chapter 229: Above the Court
The crown prince opened his mouth at this time, but what he said was not in support of the commander: "You have achieved such a big official position, you should know how to take responsibility for your actions, right?" ”
The commander of the forbidden army slammed his head on the ground, and he understood that the meaning of the prince's words was to ask him not to make a small report.
Indeed, the things he did were so excessive that he dared to think of doing it against the prince. The prince's words, as if carrying an ice blade, made the originally groggy head suddenly sober up.
How so? How could he be dizzy and report this matter to the prince, it was obviously his fault. However, he didn't like the prince's approach, and the prince made him think that what he had just done was a joke.
"What you said is true, Huo Lingxiao, he really shouldn't be so serious about you. But if you think about it, is this your problem? ”
The prince got up, circled around the leader of the forbidden army a few times, and finally stopped in front of him, looking down at him.
"It's your problem, but you have to put the blame on Huo Lingxiao, you ask yourself, are you still qualified to be the commander of this forbidden army?"
The prince is not like Huo Lingxiao, he is a full smiling tiger, although his words make people feel like a spring breeze, but the ruthlessness in his words is definitely not inferior to Huo Lingxiao.
The commander of the forbidden army hit a wall on these two people one after another, and he was a little depressed.
"Wechen knows it's wrong, and Wechen will change it."
The Commander was silent for a moment, then shouted out the words.
He knew that if he didn't admit his mistake quickly, he might lose his official position the next day. When the time comes, the whole army will look at her joke, how does this make him a person?
When the prince returned to his seat, he smiled and asked, "What did you do wrong?" ”
The lips of the commander of the forbidden army trembled, she really didn't know what she was wrong, so she followed the prince's words and said: "Recently, the security of the load has not been strict, and Weichen will do his best to protect the peace of the city." ”
The prince smiled and nodded: "You really should strengthen the management of the city, after all, this is such a thing in your land, we don't blame you, there will be others to blame you." Then you'll understand what I mean. ”
The matter is over, and the Commander is preparing to leave.
"Wechen retired."
The prince looked at him and said nothing.
The commander vaguely felt that the prince might have something to say to him, but he didn't care about it so much, so he quickly got up and left.
The commander of the forbidden army silently left the prince's mansion.
His heart was full of dissatisfaction. Because he thought that there were assassins in the city, he had nothing to do with him, the commander of the forbidden army.
The Assassins were not at his level and could be reached.
He felt unwilling, so he drank himself.
He found a tavern at random, ordered two taels of yellow wine, and ordered a little bit of liver tip, a mouthful of food, a mouthful of wine, and soon he was drunk.
"Who are those princes? What are they looking for their own soothing soldiers, what are you looking for me for? This official position is really deservedly aggrieved. ”
The commander wantonly vented his dissatisfaction in his heart, and complained about Huo Lingxiao and the prince while drinking.
At this time, he happened to meet the six princes who were drinking.
He didn't notice the six princes, but the six princes were the first to notice him who was complaining.
The six princes secretly listened to the commander of the forbidden army say bad things about Huo Lingxiao and the crown prince, and smiled faintly in the dark. He just needs such a person to be his puppet, and then provoke Huo Lingxiao and the crown prince, so that he can take the opportunity to take the throne.
He immediately came up with a great idea. With the help of the commander, he got rid of Huo Lingxiao and the prince without blood.
And so he appeared.
The six princes walked in front of the commander of the forbidden army and slowly sat down. At this time, the commander of the forbidden army had already drunk too much, and he didn't realize how much power the person sitting in front of him had.
He just drunkenly said, "Who are you?" ”
The Sixth Prince was not angry at this drunken man for speaking: "I am the Sixth Prince, don't you know me? ”
The commander narrowed his eyes, as if he couldn't see the face of the sixth prince clearly, so he took a good look.
"May I ask if you are looking for Weichen with this identity, is there anything wrong?"
Subconsciously, he felt that he didn't have much intersection with the Six Princes, so the Six Princes' behavior was tantamount to being trapped.
"I know you're dissatisfied with the crown prince and Huo Lingxiao." The six princes went straight to the point and said what the commander was thinking.
"So what? What does it have to do with you? ”
The commander snorted coldly, usually he didn't have the courage to talk to the six princes like this, but today he was just drunk and cowardly, and he said everything he wanted to say.
He didn't know that the more presumptuous she was, the happier the Six Princes became. Because the Six Princes want to take advantage of him, the less sober he is, the greater the chance that the Six Princes will use him, and the more he may do for the Six Princes.
"It just so happens that I am also dissatisfied with them, it is better to cooperate with the two of us, I will come up with an idea for you to vent your dissatisfaction in your heart, in this case, you are good and I am good, isn't this comfortable."
The prince was not in a hurry, he quietly waited for the commander's answer. He knew that with the speed of reaction in Tongling's head now, he couldn't understand what he was saying, and he would only answer and deal with it.
Sure enough, the commander of the forbidden army tilted his head and thought about it for a while, but he still didn't think that there was anything wrong with this matter.
He seemed to think about it for a while, but in fact his head was running very slowly.
"Alright then, I promise you. But what are the rewards? ”
Everything now is a matter of command, following instinct.
The sixth prince sneered, he said in his heart, if such a drunkard really helped him do something, then he was not far from death, so why should he care about those rewards?
So he deliberately exaggerated: "If you can do this, I will promise you a million taels of gold." ”
But whether it will really be given, he is not sure.
The leader of the army immediately went to make a big fuss in front of Huo Lingxiao's mansion.
The servants in the mansion reported this to Huo Lingxiao, but Huo Lingxiao smiled faintly and said, "Let him go." ”
It's not that he doesn't get angry, but he just doesn't feel much need to be angry with this kind of person. If he is angry with himself, he can't punish that person, after all, he hasn't become the crown prince yet, and he hasn't mastered the throne yet.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
However, the horror of his blessed land praised him: "The master is a good city, and he is so generous." ”
Huo Lingxiao smiled, turned around and left.
This incident caused a storm in the city, and the whole city knew about it. The next day, the commander of the forbidden army woke up and was also annoyed, why did he just do it for a while
Above, I believed the nonsense of the six princes.
How did he face the crowd above the court?
Taifu also obviously knew about this matter, and in line with the principle that Huo Lingxiao had helped him before, he did not hesitate to choose to occupy Huo Lingxiao's side.
In fact, most sensible people chose to stand on Huo Lingxiao's side, after all, Huo Lingxiao was not wrong, he was indeed stabbed by an assassin, and he was indeed scolded for no reason.
Taifu came out to impeach the commander of the forbidden army.
Sure enough, the Commander was removed.
The commander really feels innocent, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey.
At this time, Huo Lingxiao and the Seventh Prince both took the opportunity to insert their own people in.
After all, the position of commander of the forbidden army is a beautiful difference, and everyone wants their own people to be in that position.
When the two were arguing fiercely, the prince took the opportunity to come out and cut off his beard.
"If you want me to see that Huo Lingxiao is really a wolf's ambition, he actually wants to install his own people to go to the commander of the forbidden army."
The prince behaves in a strange way, and no one knows which end he is on? He seems to be in his own right, but he has a good relationship with others.
Huo Lingxiao knew that the crown prince was mocking him, so he took the opportunity to show his loyalty to the emperor: "How come? I was worried about my father's safety, so I arranged for my own people to go in. If I don't care about this, how can I have the face to be a good courtier? ”
The prince snorted coldly.
Huo Lingxiao didn't mean to stop, he continued: "I heard that the prince seems to have contacted various people in important positions recently to advise the prince, and it is better to be cautious. ”
As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately became angry: "I'm not dead yet, are you in such a hurry to contact others?" ”
The prince lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and secretly scolded Huo Lingxiao, but he didn't dare to say it in the open.
Because Huo Lingxiao did really impeccable, he couldn't find anything wrong, and he didn't have a point to complain.
"Father, don't be angry, maybe the crown prince is just a simple exchange?"
Huo Lingxiao said this, as if he had said something, but as if he had said nothing.
But the emperor understood what Huo Lingxiao meant.
"Then the crown prince asks you, do you have private dealings with those ministers?"
The prince did not speak.
What do you want him to say? He did have contacts with the ministers, but it wasn't just about feelings.
Above the court, the wind is surging.
And no one has the upper hand all the time.
Wei Xiyue heard about this incident in the academy and felt that Huo Lingxiao's style was not the same as in the past.
She was a little puzzled, usually Huo Lingxiao didn't fight or grab, why did she do this today, poking people with words.
So he immediately wrote a letter to Huo Lingxiao, wanting to ask Huo Lingxiao, what is going on? Why did he become so sharp?
After writing the letter, Wei Xi ordered Yahuan to send the letter to Huo Lingxiao.
The letter wrote about the meeting place.
After all, it was a family member, so the letter was delivered quickly, and the letter that Wei Xiyue wrote in the morning was received by Huo Lingxiao at noon.
He took a closer look and made sure that it was given to him by Wei Xiyue before he dared to open it. Wei Xiyue didn't send him letters often, and if she did, something must have happened.
She was puzzled that there had been nothing special lately, so he carefully opened the envelope to see what was written inside.
Huo Lingxiao read the letter, and his heart suddenly warmed, it just so happened that he also had something to tell Wei Xiyue, so he fulfilled the agreement on time.
Set off immediately and set off for the place agreed by Wei Xiyue.
