Chapter 150: The Banquet Ends
"Come on, arrest all the thieves." There are some more guards in the imperial garden, which are the real palace guards arranged by the emperor a long time ago.
The person who shouted to kill people before was frightened to lose his weapon when the emperor did not die and came out safe and sound, and he was quickly arrested.
Since the emperor was fine, the officials who wanted to sell the jade seal of the country in exchange for glory and wealth were frightened and crawled in front of him, constantly begging for mercy.
The emperor snorted coldly and kicked him away, "Crush him into the heavenly prison and behead him tomorrow!" ”
No one dared to intercede with him, and he deserved all this.
And the minister who was knocked out by the rebellious ministers and thieves was rewarded by the emperor and became a third-grade official.
Those who deserve to be rewarded are rewarded, and those who deserve to be punished are punished. The emperor walked up to the arrested thief and asked, "Who is your master?" ”
No one spoke, and there was a dead silence in the temple.
"If I tell you who is behind it, I can consider giving you a more decent way to die." These people dare to break into the palace curtain, and death must be done, but how to die can be considered.
As soon as the words fell, Ning Bosheng saw one of them show a strange smile.
"Not good!" He was still one step late, these were dead soldiers, they hid the poison in their mouths, the matter was revealed, and they immediately took the poison and committed suicide.
Ning Bosheng inspected two or three people, frowned and said, "It's very clean, and it doesn't leave any traces." ”
"Father, what happened?" Ning Boyu was late, his face full of surprise, "Why is there blood everywhere?" ”
"Is my father okay?" His expression of concern was exaggerated.
Ning Bosheng wanted to see when he was going to pretend, and deliberately explained to him, "A group of dead soldiers just broke into the imperial garden, and they disguised themselves as guards, intending to assassinate their father. ”
"With King Rui here, the assassin must have been caught." Ning Boyu had palpitations.
"Do you really think it's a simple assassination?" Ning Bosheng chuckled lightly and pointed to the heirloom jade seal that was being held, "This is what they are looking for." ”
"Where did King Ming go just now, don't you need to explain?" Ning Bosheng's eyes were sharp, wanting to see through his disguise and see through his heart.
The emperor's eyes also fell on Ning Boyu, obviously suspicious of him.
"Wronged, father." Ning Boyu didn't panic at all, "Erchen just came a little late, how could he put such a big charge on Erchen's head, even if he gave me a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to be unfavorable to his father." ”
He didn't forget to pull Ning Bosheng into the water at this time, "Isn't it that some people are thieves shouting to catch thieves and deliberately make this one, just to frame me?" ”
"Be ashamed, you are the latest to come, and your suspicion is the greatest. The prince hasn't left from beginning to end, how can he arrange those people? Ning Bosheng had already told Zhu Yuan that Ning Boyu did it, so she could take the emperor away in time, and now she said this to provoke him to show his flaws.
However, Ning Boyu disguised it very well, whether it was the emperor's suspicious eyes or Ning Bosheng's direct questioning, he could cope with it easily.
And this time, he picked himself cleanly, leaving no traces, even if Ning Bosheng and the others knew that Ning Boyu did it, but because there was no evidence, there was nothing they could do about him.
"Father, this is their false accusation." Ning Boyu showed a smug look at them without a trace, and continued to sell miserably, "If my father doesn't believe it, you can ask those assassins." ”
His whole calculation was very good, all the assassins had already poisoned themselves, the dead could not speak, and no one could identify him.
The emperor retracted his gaze, smiled extremely kindly, and even helped Ning Boyu up with his own hands, "Get up, I know it wasn't you who did it." ”
Where Ning Boyu couldn't see, the emperor's eyes were cautious. He was the king of a country, and he could not tolerate a son who was ready to kill him at any moment. It's just that now there is no evidence, there is no way to punish the crime, so I can only pretend that nothing happened.
Because of this forced palace, the Hundred Flowers Banquet ended early.
The civil and military officials were about to go back with their frightened and frightened families, but the emperor suddenly said aloud, "You Aiqing stay here for the time being. ”
"Commander Liu, send someone to guard it, if anyone leaves secretly, kill them directly." The emperor left after giving the order, and by the way, he also took Ning Bosheng away.
Leaving a group of ministers uneasy, unable to figure out why the emperor had left them behind.
The Imperial Garden of Nuoda is full of people, and the periphery is surrounded by expressionless guards.
"His Royal Highness King Ming, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" Someone was very bold and asked Ning Boyu, who was standing outside the crowd.
He smiled but didn't smile, "I may think that there is a mastermind among you people, and my father wants him to show himself." ”
As soon as these words came out, they aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, "Our Majesty's loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, how can Your Highness doubt us." ”
"Whether you are loyal or not, it is not up to me to decide, but it depends on what the person thinks." Ning Boyu pointed in the direction the emperor had left, deliberately saying something misleading.
In the hall, the emperor and Ning Bosheng sat opposite each other.
"Guess who did it?" The emperor asked him.
Ning Bosheng nodded, "Father also guessed it." He didn't name him, and no one wanted to see his father's murder happen, even as a son of heaven.
"That rebel!" The emperor's long-suppressed anger finally vented, "I shouldn't have spoiled him in the first place, so I developed his temperament that doesn't know the sky. ”
Ning Bosheng was silent, because he didn't need to speak at this time, just listen quietly.
After all, the culprit is not here, the emperor was angry for a long time, and he couldn't see it. After a while, he restrained his exposed emotions.
"How do you think this should be handled?" The emperor had the intention of tempting him.
Ning Bosheng said what he thought truthfully, "Pretend that nothing happened, he will show his feet again, and we can arrest him when the time comes." ”
The emperor did not nod, but still asked him, "That rebel has always been careful in his work, and almost always leaves a way back for himself, which you should learn." ”
Seeing that Ning Bosheng didn't agree, the emperor didn't get angry, but continued, "Don't underestimate him, this will become the key to saving your life." ”
"As long as you dare to do it, you must leave yourself a full way back." The emperor smiled and added, "There is a saying among the people, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of running out of firewood, as long as you can ensure that you survive, you will make a comeback." ”
The emperor was instructing Ning Bosheng, because he was decisive and never thought of leaving a way for himself to live, which was completely different from Ning Boyu.
However, Ning Bosheng didn't listen much, and still disagreed.
