Chapter 388: Xuan'er is in trouble?
Remember [3Q Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
She knew that Bai Zhaoqin would not be indifferent when she received the note.
Bai Caixuan's temper, he couldn't understand it better as a father, the prince's banquet was poured so much wine, if he went back and was scolded by Bai Caixuan's chatter, it was really hard to say if there would be any accidents.
The Bai family's cooperation with the prince is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, how can a person like Bai Zhaoqin who has the foresight of the city government not insert a few dark lines in the palace?
Although the prince is also cautious, there are only a few subordinates who are called on weekdays, but after all, this little eunuch is in the East Palace, and he comes and goes more freely than others.
"Who has no evidence for this king!" King Duan suddenly shouted, startling Bai Zhaoqin, and when he looked up, he saw King Duan saying to the emperor: "Father, the son knows where the prince's treasury is!" ”
The prince's party suddenly became dumbfounded, and his heart rose to his throat.
Bai Zhaoqin and Zhong Pei didn't show it on their faces, but they suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Oh? Where? ”
"At first, Erchen mentioned that Zhong Pei was a cripple who sold tea in Songhe Tower, and he made a living by selling tea business. Erchen touched the melon along the vine and found that the cripple had a tea garden in the back mountain of the capital, and a Zhuangzi was built in the tea garden. The Zhuangzi was mysterious, and no one in the mountains dared to approach, nor could they get close, and when I asked, I realized that there were not only sentry posts inside, but also guards. Erchen felt strange, how could a tea seller have so much money to build a mountain villa, and he was so mysterious that outsiders would not be allowed to approach. When doing business, don't you just pay attention to a courtesy exchange and move around a lot? So Erchen decided to investigate thoroughly and sent a master to infiltrate the villa......"
Zhong Pei was already in a cold sweat.
Not long ago, the cripple told him a strange thing, and suddenly an uninvited guest came to the villa at night, took off the guards' clothes and mixed into the villa, did not steal or rob, and finally left without a word, like smoke, and no one saw his appearance.
Could it be that this person is the "master" sent out by King Duan?
Zhong Pei was shocked.
But after thinking about it, I felt that even if it was the master sent out by King Duan, he should only be able to find out the countless treasures in the villa, and he didn't know the biggest secret of the villa.
After all, there is only one well leading to the "vault cellar", and that well is unfathomable, it is impossible to go down and come up again with the strength of one person, besides, even if he is light and strong, but the vault cellar is still sealed with layers of stone bricks, how can it be so easy to find?
Zhong Pei was silent.
The Emperor couldn't wait to hear what King Duan had to say.
Duanwang said proudly: "As a result, Erchen found that not only did the villa hide countless treasures, but the foundation of the entire villa was made of gold and silver!" ”
The hall boiled thoroughly like a boiling soup pot.
"The prince is still raising troops in the villa?"
"Ridiculous and ridiculous, the foundation of the entire villa is made of gold and silver, is this a rehearsal book?"
The two sides shouted, and a few drunken ones rolled up their sleeves with a few Qingliu to fight.
Zhong Pei didn't dare to look at the Bai family at this time, and several people were furious in their hearts.
"Father, my son, I implore you to send someone to the mountain behind the capital to find out!"
"King Duan, do you have any evidence to show that the common people who sell tea are the prince's little feet who make a living in the people?" Bai Yanzhong asked.
Behind the beaded curtain, the emperor's calm face hid treacherous thoughts.
He's hesitating, he's still hesitating.
He watched the two sides be angry and furious, and more and more people came in, and among the courtiers, most of them were involved in it, which was really a headache.
This is no longer simply a question of whether the prince is guilty or not.
The two sides are open and honest, openly declare war, there is no way out, just like a group of fighting beasts rushed into the cage, once the two sides catch each other's flaws, they will immediately bare their fangs and bite each other to the flesh and blood.
Therefore, at this time, the emperor is the clarion call for them to start a war, and also as a scale between their destinies, whether to blow the trumpet or not to blow the trumpet, or to which side it is particularly important.
As long as the scale pole is slightly tilted, the balance after that cannot be restored by the scale itself.
Whom should he help, and which side should he resolve?
The prince and the Bai family are connected to each other, if the prince falls, King Duan will definitely not let Bai Zhaoqin go.
Bai Zhaoqin is the backbone of the country, and if something happens to him, the foundation of the DPRK and China will not be as solid as before.
Since he succeeded to the throne, Bai Zhaoqin has helped him overcome the "Difficulty of the Northern Abyss" and the "Difficulty of Wooden Castle", and now the emperor really has no candidate at hand who can replace Bai Zhaoqin.
A person who can be a prime minister must be outstanding, not only with a smart mind, but also with a certain degree of progress and retreat.
Mrs. Li is very knowledgeable and far-sighted, but he is too hard-hearted, and he offends this one today and that one tomorrow. If Taifu becomes the prime minister, not only can he, the emperor, not only can't have more arms, but has to round the field for him all the time, which is simply a burden.
The secretary of the military department is tolerant of all rivers and rivers, and he is also smart, but the key is that he is only good at marching and arranging the army, and he doesn't know anything about water control and disaster relief, and sweeping away corruption and integrity.
The ...... of the Criminal Department Alas, this man can not only hold a boat in his stomach, but can swallow the sea! Let Zhong Pei rob him of the lawsuit and take his case, he didn't dare to squeak a few times.
If the court also handed it over to him, he would be like a dumb artillery battle, if he didn't sound or sound, where was the majesty of the country?
The emperor is really reluctant to the Bai family, but it is also inappropriate to abandon King Duan.
He counted the forces on Duanwang's side, and there were no important nobles and courtiers, but it was precisely because of this that the prince's party seemed extremely rampant.
If the only force that can argue with the prince is eliminated, and the prince really has the intention of rebellion, then the emperor's future situation will become difficult.
The way of a king lies in checks and balances!
The Emperor is on the alert in this regard.
It's easy to give an order, but you don't joke, and once the order comes out, it's hard to take it back.
He is still struggling, whether to press the matter down first, don't let the two parties make a big move, quietly send someone to verify the case in private, and then make a slight adjustment according to the facts of the case.
In the end, keep the people you want to keep and get rid of the people you want to go.
This is of course the best, but King Duan's side seems to have caught the prince's ironclad evidence, and he wants to annihilate the prince's party in one fell swoop and never suffer in the future.
It was not easy to appease King Duan.
If it can't be pressed on the surface, then how and when this case should be investigated will determine the direction of the situation.
The emperor looked at the smoky hall, his temples jumping violently.
Bai Yanzhong was so noisy that he blushed and returned to the table with a thick neck, and took a sip of tea before continuing to compete with King Duan, but at this time he was stopped by Bai Zhaoqin.
"Father?"
"The situation may be uncertain." Bai Zhaoqin lowered her voice.
"Naturally, there are variables, and this group of people is obviously prepared, and the situation is not trivial."
"No, I'm not talking about it here, I'm talking about the prince's side."
"The Prince's side?" Bai Yanzhong remembered the note, and turned the wrench on his thumb, "Father refers to Xuan'er......"
"Yes, I sent an informant to investigate, and it is said that the two had a big fight in the cave room, but the informant did not seem to move at all when he passed. The little eunuch knocked on the door in my name, saying that he had something important to inform the prince and the princess, but only the prince answered, saying that he had known about the affairs at the banquet and would come over to deal with it immediately, but Xuan'er did not answer. Doubting ...... for the Father"
"No...... That's impossible. Bai Yanzhong straightened his face and interrupted Bai Zhaoqin's words, "That note came from a strange place, not long after it was handed over, Lin Youqian presented it!" This is obviously Duanwang's people who want us to rebel in the nest and fish each other! Father, think about it, it's the crown prince who hides Jiaojiao in the golden house first, how can he have the face to be unfavorable to Xuan'er? ! If we believe what the note says, we have fallen for their plan! ”
How is it that fatherhood does not consider this? And that note must be a plan! But although it is a plan, what is said is not necessarily false! Think about your sister's temper, and think about how much wine the prince drank today?! ”、
Bai Yanzhong wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's not once or twice that the prince has been involved in flowers and grass, and our Bai family finally forced him this time, did he force him hard enough? At this point, he is also willing to take risks and leave the lamp, which shows that he has no more Xuan'er in his heart! When he got married in the church today, how did Xuan'er make him angry and break his face, do you think the prince doesn't care at all? He is the crown prince, if he doesn't want to lose face, what is the master of the East Palace fighting for? ”
