Chapter 194: The Three Princes Are Called Back
After the others were dismissed, there were only three people left in the study. The atmosphere was quiet, and only the breathing of a few people could be heard.
"Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" The emperor asked as he sat down in his chair and looked at the folds in front of him.
"The minister has something important to say, please look at this, this is the confession of the gang of mountain bandits that the minister found someone to copy." As he spoke, Wen Yu took out the confession from his pocket and presented it to the emperor.
"Oh?" The emperor looked at him with some doubts, but still opened the confession.
He thought that Wen Yu came to tell him that the third prince had hurt Wen Yu's wife, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he heard that he was coming for the gang of bandits, and he was even more puzzled.
After unfolding the confession of the mountain bandits, the emperor looked down word by word, this is also unbearable, the emperor's face sank directly, his face was as dark as water, and his eyes seemed to be gathered with a storm, and it seemed that Long Yan would be furious at any time.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Wen Yu knew that he had understood everything in his heart, so he opened his mouth and said loudly: "The third prince also injured my wife Zhao Qingyan before, and now it is related to cholera mountain bandits, please Your Majesty Mingjian, if you don't believe it, you can ask the mountain bandits again." ”
Zhao Qingyan stood quietly on the sidelines and watched the emperor's reaction.
The emperor calmed down the anger in his heart, but his face was still very bad, and he said, "Come on, bring the mountain bandits over." ”
Soon, a secret guard brought up the mountain bandits.
Several mountain bandits looked at each other, a little at a loss, looking at the obviously angry emperor, with a trembling look.
"Which of you says, 'Who told you to do this?' What have they done? The emperor suppressed his anger and said to several mountain bandits.
The mountain bandits were afraid that the emperor would kill several of them, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to tell the truth, because of the emperor's coercion on their heads, the mountain bandits trembled and finished speaking, and did not dare to mix in any moisture.
"Your Majesty, everything we said is true, please spare our lives." After a few mountain bandits finished speaking, they looked at the emperor with tears in their eyes, after all, face is not important, life is the most important.
After the emperor personally interrogated these mountain bandits, he found that the answers he got were exactly the same as the confessions that Wen Yu had people copy, and even more excessive.
His face was even more gloomy, and he didn't pay attention to the pain of the bandits begging for mercy, so that people took them down and held them again.
"It's unbelievable!" The Emperor slammed the sandalwood board on the table, a gesture that showed his anger. Although he was already planning to give up the three princes, after all, he was his own son, so unsuccessful, he was actually related to the mountain bandits, and what the three princes did also made him heartbroken.
Besides, the essence of this child is no longer unsuccessful, it has deteriorated, the emperor's heart is inevitably a little uncomfortable, and his son can't just let it go, he must be treated equally.
"Your Majesty, you should immediately send troops to catch up with the Third Prince and bring him back."
Next, you can deal with it yourself, Wen Yu didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, he naturally can't control how the emperor wants to deal with the three princes, he just needs to do what he needs to do.
The emperor nodded, called the secret guard and ordered: "You go, be sure to bring back the rebel son of the third prince as quickly as possible." Meet the general and explain to him. ”
When he spoke, the emperor's face was very ugly, and there was a strong sense of fatigue.
Anyone who sees it knows that the three princes have touched the emperor's scales. Usually idle, and he still loves women, the emperor can turn a blind eye, but what the three princes did in this matter really made him unbearable.
"Yes, my subordinates obey orders." The guard immediately saluted the Emperor, and then mounted his horse and chased after him as fast as he did outside the city.
"You two will wait here for a while."
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, and pressed his hands to calm the nerves, as if he was extremely tired and wanted to rest for a while. Wen Yu and Zhao Qingyan also didn't speak, and the two of them didn't want to hit the emperor's gun.
On the other side, the three princes who had already left the city were extremely excited and happy, happier than any time they had ever gone out of the city, because this abnormal behavior caused the general to ask more: "The third prince, you are so happy, is there any happy event?" ”
The third prince smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say why he was so happy, but casually made up a reason: "It's okay, I see that the sun is shining today and the weather is so good, so I am happy in my heart." ”
You are so happy when you don't usually see the weather is good? The general twitched the corners of his mouth, and said silently in his heart, the reply of the three princes was too fake and distracting.
However, seeing that the third prince didn't want to say, the general didn't ask, and a team of men and horses continued to hurry.
After the third prince finished the general's perfunctory speech, he looked at the capital city behind him that was gradually moving away, and his heart became more and more happy. He can be regarded as far away from the capital, away from the person in Wenyu.
His future must be very beautiful, it must be what he imagined, and he no longer has to be frightened because Wen Yu is there.
Thinking of this, the third prince even wanted to look up to the sky and smile, and had already begun to draw the pie that belonged to his future, this longing made his whole person full of motivation, making him feel that he was about to usher in the dawn, and he was extremely convinced that he had a bright future.
Just as he was happily thinking about his future, the general noticed that someone seemed to be coming from behind. But I couldn't see who it was: "Hey, why is there a person in the back, who seems to be riding a horse?" ”
The third prince waved his hand disappreciatively, and said without looking back: "Don't worry, it's probably a passing business trip, right?" ”
"No, he's only one man." The general is not as arrogant and unimpressed as the third prince, he has always been cautious, and this sudden person who came out made him pay attention.
At this time, the third prince was not yet aware of what he was about to face, and when he was happily imagining the future, his right eyelid jumped twice, and at the same time, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he glanced back at the person the general said.
This glance made him almost frightened.
Because the man had already ridden to a position where he could see clearly behind him, this person was the emperor's secret guard, and the clothes he was wearing made the three princes recognize him at a glance.
The secret guard quickly arrived in front of a group of people, took out the sign given by the emperor and said: "The emperor has an order, urgently summon the three princes back to the palace, the three princes please." ”
Several people were stunned, and the general tentatively asked, "This?" ”
The secret guard briefly explained the reason, "Okay, I won't bother you, general, the emperor is still waiting for the third prince to go back, you can go first." ”
"Okay." The general glanced at the third prince and found that he was pale at this time, sighed, turned around and left with his own men.
The third prince sat paralyzed on his horse, his mind full of thoughts: it's over, his future is nothing. Cold sweat broke out in the palms of his hands. Sticky and greasy, like his flustered heart at this time.
