Xiao Ye moved very fast, and after listening to Yang Gengxiu's words, he immediately took him into the palace to face the saint, and he couldn't wait to take this opportunity to let Xiao Daocheng abolish Xiao Zhen's position as the crown prince.

Hearing that Xiao Daocheng was in the Shiqian Hall at the moment, Xiao Ye instructed Yang Gengxiu to wait outside the hall and went in by himself, Xiao Daocheng saw him, and was full of joy, and said with a smile: "Xuanzhao is here, your mother and concubine Shicai still came to talk to me, saying that you haven't been to see her for a few days." ”

Xiao Ye saluted, and hurriedly said: "Father, in fact, the son came over this time to report something. ”

Seeing Xiao Ye frowning, as if there was something urgent, Xiao Daocheng became serious and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Come on. ”

"This matter ......" Xiao Ye was grinding again, he glanced at both sides, and then said cryptically: "This matter is about the face of the clan, and the ministers dare not say anything. ”

Xiao Daocheng willed, so he had to retreat left and right, only Yu Quping was waiting by his side, he was beating a drum in his heart, and said uneasily: "Say it." ”

"Erchen...... The sons were ashamed, and they didn't dare to discuss the rights and wrongs of their brothers, there was a person outside the hall, asking his father to allow him to go to the palace, "Xiao Ye always lowered his head slightly, and pretended to be humble and respectful in front of Xiao Daocheng.

Seeing Xiao Ye like this, Xiao Daocheng became more and more cramped and uneasy, only nodded, Xiao Ye raised his head to see it, and immediately turned his head and shouted outside the hall: "Yang Langjun, come in." ”

Yang Gengxiu lowered his head into the hall, walked to Xiao Ye's right hand and knelt down, lowered his eyebrows, did not dare to look directly at Long Yan, he bowed his head and said: "Grass people Yang Gengxiu, long live your majesty, long live, long live!" ”

"Who is he?" Xiao Daocheng pointed at Yang Gengxiu, and Xiao Ye replied: "Back to my father, this person is from the Hongnong Yang family and is a staff member of the Prince's Mansion. ”

"The staff of the Prince's Mansion?" After talking for a long time, Xiao Daocheng finally saw Xiao Ye's intention, and he simply said bluntly: "But what happened to your eldest brother?" ”

Yang Gengxiu secretly raised his eyes, glanced sideways at Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye said to him: "Yang Langjun, what you have seen and heard in the Prince's Mansion, in front of the Holy Driver, you must not hide anything. ”

Hearing this, Yang Gengxiu was full of confidence, and immediately said to Xiao Daocheng: "Your Majesty Shengming, what the grass people want to say is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xie Zheng Xie Qishi, who are vague and suspicious of having a habit of breaking sleeves. ”

Xiao Daocheng was stunned for a moment, obviously not convinced, and grinned and joked: "What did you say?" ”

Yang Gengxiu was no longer submissive, he simply raised his head to face Xiao Daocheng, and repeated loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you have a habit of breaking your sleeves!" ”

"Broken sleeves?" Xiao Daocheng sneered: "Aren't you joking with me?" No matter how poor my son is, he will not have such a shameful fetish! ”

"The grass people don't dare," Yang Gengxiu kowtowed heavily, and a muffled sound made the hall suddenly silent, and he then said: "The prince and Xie Qishi are secretly ignorant, but the grass people have seen it with their own eyes, it is true, I hope Your Majesty will investigate!" ”

Xiao Daocheng was stunned, Xiao Ye saw his expression, seemed to be half-convinced, and he was happy in his heart.

Qu Ping stood beside Xiao Daocheng, and when he heard this, he also rolled his eyes, and said to Xiao Daocheng without hurry: "Your Majesty, this matter."

I'm afraid it's a fantasy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have two royal grandchildren, how can you say that you have broken your sleeves? What this Yang Envoy said, I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding? ”

Yang Gengxiu was not to be outdone, and hurriedly argued: "The habit of broken sleeves has existed since ancient times, the love of Wei Linggong and Mizi is flawed, the joy of Qijing Gongyu hugging his back, the good of Anling, the king of Chu Gong, the king of Wei Anjiao and Longyangjun, and such as Deng Tong and Han Yan of the Western Han Dynasty, there are countless examples, and the history books can be studied, these princes and generals, do they have no heirs?" "After saying so much, he just wants to say that the habit of breaking sleeves and passing on the family are two different things.

Speaking of which, Xiao Zhen and Xie Zheng still can't be avoided, and he said: "The prince often asks Xie Qishi to go to the mansion to have fun, and the two of them stay in the study, staying for two or three hours, going in and out in pairs, like a shadow, this matter is not only the grass people, all the staff of the prince's mansion can testify!" ”

Qu Ping didn't bother to chatter with him, but he was afraid that he would lose his senses, so he said to Xiao Daocheng: "The old slave has the courage to talk a lot, this Yang envoy seems to have a lot of grudges against the prince. ”

The implication is that Yang Gengxiu, who was born in Hongnong Yang's family, is for Yang Mingzhi, who died a while ago because of a partisan dispute, and deliberately smeared Xiao Zhen, Qu Ping did not say it explicitly, but only hinted at it slightly, and so far, Xiao Daocheng also understood, he looked at Yang Gengxiu, and became more and more suspicious.

Yang Gengxiu didn't know what Qu Ping said to Xiao Daocheng, he was very flustered, so he took out the matter of Qianhu and said it again, Xiao Daocheng was even more suspicious, very annoyed, and simply said: "The prince and Xie Qishi went to the palace, I want to know whether this matter is true or false!" ”

At this time, Xie Zheng happened to be in Xiao Zheng's mansion, and when he heard that Xiao Daocheng had summoned, he was terrified and thought that the East Window incident had happened, so he hurried into the palace.

After entering the hall, she saw Yang Gengxiu kneeling in the hall, Xie Zheng was even more uneasy, she knew that it must be Yang Gengxiu, a dog, who said something to Xiao Daocheng!

The two saluted and stood in the hall, and Xiao Daocheng immediately asked like an interrogation: "Prince, do you recognize that Yang Envoy?" ”

Xiao Zhen glanced at Yang Gengxiu with a cold face, "I recognize, he is a staff member in the Erchen Mansion." ”

"He said that you are secretly with Xie Zheng and have a habit of breaking sleeves, but is there such a thing?" As Xiao Daocheng spoke, he pointed at Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, she looked at Yang Gengxiu in confusion, she thought that Yang Gengxiu had told Xiao Daocheng about Shangshu Province, but she didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous thing.

"Broken sleeves?" Xiao Zhen's face was also full of surprise, he couldn't help laughing insolently, covering his stomach with his hands, and replied: "It's really a joke for the son, father, the son-in-law dares to ask, do you believe him?" ”

Seeing Xiao Zhen smiling like this, he clearly felt that it was really ridiculous for him to ask this, Xiao Daocheng felt quite embarrassed, and was speechless for a while, so Yang Gengxiu argued again: "If there is no habit of breaking sleeves, last time in Qianhu, Xie Qishi was injured, why was His Highness so anxious that he carried him back to the carriage to bandage his wounds, but he did not allow the late Zhou Servant to shoot and grass people close?" ”

Xiao Zhen squinted at Yang Gengxiu, and suddenly laughed, he said How dare this bastard arrange him and Xie Zheng like this for no reason, it was originally from the incident of Qianhu last time, and this guy has already begun to think about how to deal with him.

"Erchen and Xie Qishi have a great friendship, this is the truth, and because of this, so she was injured, and Erchen was anxious, but when Erchen bandaged her wounds, he did not allow others to come forward," Xiao Zhen said, and simply knelt down and kowtowed: "Please Father Mingjian." ”

Yang Gengxiu said with sweat, what he said didn't look like a lie, Xiao Zheng's words were sincere, in all fairness, it didn't seem like he was deceiving others, Xiao Daocheng couldn't distinguish right from wrong for a while, so he asked Xie Zheng again: "Xie Zheng, how do you explain?" ”

Xie Zheng was very arrogant, and said calmly: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and there is no need to explain." ”

Xiao Daocheng pondered for a while, and finally came to a conclusion, he said to Xie Zheng: "Okay! I believe in you! There was such a joke today, but it was actually a misunderstanding. ”

Although it was difficult for him to distinguish whether what Yang Gengxiu said was true or false, he was unwilling to admit that Xiao Zhen had a habit of breaking sleeves, this matter was small for Xiao Zhen, but it was big for the clan! He said that this was a misunderstanding, and hurriedly ended the matter and mediated from it, which can be regarded as giving both sides enough face.

"Your Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye didn't give up, gave Yang Gengxiu a look, and motioned him to say a few words, Yang Gengxiu understood, opened his mouth and called Xiao Daocheng, and was about to argue, Xiao Daocheng finally couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Okay!" Whoever says such insulting words to the face of the clan will be killed! ”

Yang Gengxiu was cowardly in the end, as soon as he heard that Xiao Daocheng was going to kill someone, he immediately kowtowed and admitted his mistake, and said again and again: "Your Majesty is angry!" The grass people dare not ...... The grass people don't dare to ......"

"Stand down!" Xiao Daocheng stood up and called again: "Xie Zheng, you stay." ”

Everyone retreated, Xie Zheng stood in the hall, Xiao Daocheng walked down slowly, looked at her with a torch in his eyes, and said with a slight hint of fierce threat: "Xie Zheng, I know that you are superb in chess, and you are a rare talent, so I appreciate you very much, but I can appreciate it, if you do something out of the ordinary one day, I can't spare you!" ”

Xiao Daocheng's meaning was beyond his words, Xie Zheng heard it clearly, in the final analysis, he still had a trace of suspicion about Xiao Zhen in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it because of his face.

"Weichen remember," Xie Zheng said, raised his eyes to peep at Xiao Daocheng, and then retreated outside the hall.

Xiao Zhen was waiting for her outside the hall, and when she saw her come out, she hurriedly asked, "What did my father say to you?" Is it difficult for you? ”

"I didn't say anything," Xie Zheng felt tired and a little overwhelmed.

Xiao Zhen was unhappy in his heart, and gritted his teeth: "Wait for Gu to find an opportunity, and take Yang Gengxiu's head with his own hands!" ”

Xie Zheng sneered, "His Royal Highness killed him at this time, and he has confirmed his habit of breaking his sleeves, which is exactly what King Wuling wants." ”

Xiao Zhen's anger did not subside, and said: "Since this is the case, then let him live a few more days." ”
