Chapter 5: Anger
"This, father, the son only knows that Xiao Yi is married, I really don't know that he is married to Wang Manhong, and I heard that Langya Gongzi will come, when Erchen was in Shenyun Palace in the early years, he heard the name of Langya Gongzi, so he wanted to see it." Looking at the eyes of the emperor and the crown prince at the same time, the second prince looked a little anxious, and he hated himself in his heart, but he never knew that Su Yu behind this was so involved. I also hated Xiao Yi in my heart, after all, he was usually very close to King Jing's Mansion, and now he said that he didn't know, and even he didn't believe his confession. If he knew that Xiao Yi's wife was Wang Manhong, the second prince himself would not go, of course, Xiao Yi would not let him know that he was marrying Wang Manhong, after all, the second prince would not offend the Hou Mansion for no reason for a woman, he would rather offend the Jingwang Mansion than the Hou Mansion.
"The second brother is understandable, the demeanor of Langya Gongzi, even I want to see it." The crown prince understands the mood of the second prince, because he is also in this mood, after all, that person is the son of Langya, the handsome son in today's martial arts, and a character with a temperament like a fairy.
"Indeed, if the second brother knew that the prince of King Jing married Wang Manhong, even if the prince of Langya came, he would not go, but the arrival of the prince of Langya was a little surprising, Xiao Yi is afraid that this person is not worthy of the prince of Langya to attend his wedding, right?" Xiao Yun said with some doubts in his eyes.
"You are so close to King Jing's Mansion on weekdays, I'm afraid it's not so simple for this Langya prince to come, right?" Emperor Xiao Dingxuan stared at the second prince and said, it seemed that he was also very puzzled why Langya Gongzi came, but he knew that this Langya Gongzi would not come for the second prince, after all, he still knew this son's ability, although he was a prince, I am afraid it was not worth it to make Langya Gongzi come to the Eastern Capital from Langya Mountain to attend a wedding. And this wedding is not his own, if it is the second prince's own wedding, inviting the son of Langya may be hindered by the identity of the second prince will come, but if it is Xiao Yi, he will definitely not come, the recklessness of the people of the rivers and lakes Xiao Dingxuan understands it, if the second prince invites him to come, don't he think that he can be recruited and come and go, which is unacceptable for any person in the rivers and lakes, especially for famous people, sometimes the dignity of the face is more important than life.
"The son of Langya pretends to be high, and he definitely didn't come to the Eastern Capital for the sake of the court, I am afraid that he came for someone's invitation, and the person who can make the prince of Langya pay attention to it must be King Jing, after all, Xiao Yi doesn't have that ability. However, King Jing is not a simple person, he invited Langya Gongzi to come, I am afraid that he is also showing his skills to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, this invisible display power, sometimes it is also a kind of declarative power. The second prince slowly analyzed, what kind of person the second prince is, how can he not see through this kind of struggle for power, and the struggle for imperial power has never been avoided no matter which dynasty or generation. Now the prince and him are also fighting, but fortunately it is not so tragic, at least they have not secretly done that kind of murderous thing, but there are some courtiers who are attracted to him, but as long as it is not too much, the emperor will turn a blind eye. After all, the crown prince and the second prince are still quite obedient now, and they don't have much grudge when they usually see each other, and the two just show their skills in front of the emperor. And King Jing is the person who survived the bloody struggle for that seat in the previous generation, although the emperor's heirs are scarce, and there are only seven children together, but there are many heirs of the former emperor, the current emperor is the thirteenth son of the first emperor, and there are thirty-three sons of the first emperor, this King Jing is the seventeenth prince, older than Xiao Dingwen, although Xiao Dingwen is the younger brother of Xiao Dingxuan's mother, but Xiao Dingwen is the twenty-ninth prince, one of the youngest princes of the first emperor. But now there are only three people who have survived, of course, some princes are some things, died in the hands of the former emperor, in order to fight for that position, the battle among the princes, those means are beyond the imagination of the princes today. Of course, Xiao Dingxuan can survive and win the throne, and thunder means are indispensable, and there are not a few princes who died in his hands, but there are a lot of brothers in the hands of King Jing, even if they are brothers of the same mother, it is not a problem, so this is also the reason why the current emperor Xiao Dingxuan is so jealous of King Jing, this King Jing's current power can be said to be exchanged for the lives of his two brothers. So even if Xiao Dingxuan thinks that he has secured this position, he is always guarding against King Jing, and even preferring to give up the rights and interests of the royal family, in order to make people feel that they are not a cronyistic person, all the emperor's relatives and relatives, generally in the court, the power is not so important, some people are just hanging idle positions, such as Xiao Yun, that is, hanging an idle position, but the crown prince and the second prince dare not despise Xiao Yun, in addition to his identity, but also because of the thousand Praetorian Guards in his hands, that is the emperor's own army, How can they not value it?
"In this way, shouldn't this offense be in vain? Why did you get involved with Lan'er again? "The emperor naturally knows that this must be the handiwork of King Jing, but he doesn't want to talk about King Jing here today, after all, King Jing is also their elder. And what puzzled the emperor was that this Wang Manhong was given to Xiao Bai by him, Xiao Bai's fame is very loud in the east, so no children of the family are willing to marry such a person, the previous emperor gave him three marriages, but they were all rejected, and this third time is this Wang Manhong, who was originally married to the daughter of a deep boudoir of an important minister of the court, and the emperor was rejected and had a good face. I never thought that a left capital imperial history could refuse, so the emperor was extremely disgusted with this left capital imperial history Wang Yuan, but after the divorce turmoil, Wang Yuan never came out, he was very low-key, and he didn't have any sense of existence in the court, so the emperor almost forgot about this matter, and now he remembered this matter, and felt that in order to take care of the overall situation today, he cheapened Wang Yuan.
"It's not that Wang Yuan married his daughter to Xiao Yi, and he felt that he was in the prince's mansion, and he was also a relative of the emperor, and Su Yu was also the son-in-law of the Wang family, so he was naturally half a relative of the emperor, and he suddenly felt that he was noble, and he shamelessly came to Jingwangfu, saying that he was going to marry the third sister to be the ninth room, so I asked Dali Siqing to put him in prison and let him have a better memory, but I never thought that Jingwangfu came to the palace yesterday to send an invitation, and also sent the head of Jingwangfu to go to the prison to fish for people, so he angered Yun'er." Xiao Yun told the story.
"What, he actually wants to marry Lan Mei into the ninth room, is this guy still in Dali Temple, this prince will go and cut off his head for you." The second prince was already furious.
"Second brother, I'll go too." The same is true for the crown prince, who is Xiao Lan, who is the county lord of Yunlan who is personally appointed by the emperor today, and the princess who is born is the same, and it is also the same as the sister of their princes, you must know that Xiao Lan always sends some paintings to them during the New Year's holidays, how rare Xiao Lan's paintings are, no one in the whole country knows, they all take care of Xiao Lan as a treasure, the prince and the second prince are no exception, they actually said that they want to treat Xiao Lan as the ninth room, don't say that Xiao Yun, the eldest brother, can't bear it, even they can't bear it, if you know that Su Yu is so hateful, Today, on the council hall, how can they come out to take care of this matter, and it is not bad if they don't dismantle him.
"How can this be reasonable, this Su Yu really doesn't know whether to live or die." The emperor was also angry, and slapped the table hard, which surprised everyone, at this time he completely understood Xiao Yun's mood, Xiao Yun didn't split this person on the spot, it was already very good, the crown prince and the second prince looked at Xiao Yun at this time and felt a little guilty.
"Father, you just let your sons go." The second prince asked for his life, and it was difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he didn't kill this person with his own hands.
"Yun'er, I understand, it's impossible for this kid to live, but this kid can't die for this crime, do you two understand? This kid is definitely not a person of rules on weekdays, I want him to die convinced, as for taking the head to Jingwangfu, forget it, but Jingwangfu can't be easily passed, at least their chief manager appeared, as well as Wang Yuan and that squire, don't let it go. Xiao Dingxuan was extremely gloomy, how could the emperor's anger be endured by ordinary people, even Xiao Yun, the crown prince and the second prince all felt a chill.
"It's my father." The two nodded at the same time.
"Then we're leaving." The emperor was already angry and didn't want to speak, and waved his hand at the same time, and the three of them knew that the emperor wanted to calm down his anger, and they all exited the imperial study together.
"Brother Yun, today's matter is that the eldest brother and the second brother are sorry for you, you can rest assured that this Su Yu will be handed over to us." The prince apologized a little.
"What is the family doing with so many words, what matters now is to kill Su Yu, Brother Yun and the second brother will not do these false feelings, and when these people are killed, the second brother will personally go to the Hou Mansion to apologize, and also apologize to Sister Lan." The eyes of the second prince were full of gloom at this time, and then said coldly, and then walked away directly, eager to run over and kill Su Yu, the prince also glanced at it guiltily, and hurriedly followed, Xiao Yun was also speechless. He knew that the crown prince and the second prince were not cheating, after all, the two of them usually love Xiao Lan very much, and when they go out, they will not forget Xiao Lan when they bring back gifts for the princesses.
"Congratulations to my father, today I have shown my might." In Wang's mansion, a red-clothed lotus robe, with a high bun, wears many golden hairpin pearls, which is somewhat similar to Wang Manzi, but she is a little more charming than Wang Manzi, and she is also a little younger, obviously she is Wang Yuan's second daughter Wang Manhong.
"Hmph, what can the Hou Mansion do, in the future, if you marry into the palace, we can be regarded as relatives of the emperor, those courtiers know the stakes and harms, and today's words are just a stammer, otherwise the old man has a mere four-grade imperial history, how majestic can he be in their eyes, and today they are like this, most of them have seen the palace, and they are simply stammering the palace." Wang Yuan looked disdainful, as if those people in the court were a group of snobs, as if he, the person who married his daughter into the palace, was an incomparably noble person. As everyone knows, today's courtiers are on his side, which is not the case at all, but because Xiao Yun imprisoned Su Yu in the prison of Dali Temple for no reason under the pretext of his identity, which is already considered unruly, and he committed suicide without any evidence of Su Yu's crime, which can be said to be a violation of national law. Otherwise, today's matter, let alone a mere Wang Yuan, even if it is the second-grade Dali Temple, he can't make so many courtiers fall on the court. As for King Jing's Mansion, it is even more impossible, there may be a few people who are afraid of King Jing's Mansion, but today's court is the world of civil ministers, as for King Jing, although he has the right to play, but he has no right to participate in politics at all, that is to say, King Jing cannot participate in court politics at all, although he is a prince of the first grade, but those first-class officials in the court, which will give King Jing face, not to mention a grade, some second-grade officials, are also the same.
"When the daughter marries into the palace, she will definitely use the resources of the palace to help her father, and it will be okay to become an official in the future, and those people will have a time when they will want to tie up with our Wang family in the future." Wang Manhong thought longingly, thinking that in the future, he could be in the palace, he could turn over the rain and clouds, and his father was in the court, and he was also above 10,000 people under one person, and it seemed that he was no worse than those princesses. At this time, they can be said to be daydreaming, but the second prince has already arrived in the prison of Dali Temple, and as for the prince, he is to find out Su Yu's, and the two of them divide their labor, and they don't want that Su Yu to live for a moment longer.
Miserable, what is miserable, the current Su Yu is called miserable, Su Yu, who was clean and white just now, is already unkempt and dirty at the moment, and his tongue has been cut off, because the second prince does not want to hear the sound, and the whip marks on his body are cracked like sword wounds. The nails of the ten fingers have all been pulled out, and the knees of both legs have been shattered, and Su Yu is now wishing that he would die. He must have felt that it was definitely a very happy thing to die now, and the rooms in the prison where the torture instruments were lined up were even more terrifying in his eyes than the Nine Hells Prison. The second prince sat on a chair with a calm face, sitting there, Su Yu was thrown in front of him like a dead dog, and there was no trace of pity in his eyes.
"Su Yu, you are very bold, you dare to let the Yunlan County Lord be your ninth room, do you know that she is one of the prince's favorite sisters?" The second prince looked at him with an incomparably cold look in his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes was like a sharp sword, constantly piercing his heart. At this time, Su Yu's eyes were extremely frightened, he finally knew that the second prince came to this prison for what, that is, for Xiao Lan, he originally knew that the head of the Jingwang Mansion came to fish for him yesterday, and he thought that he would be able to get out soon, but now that the second prince has come to the prison, all he has left is despair.
