Chapter 198 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge for the second time
Duanmu Gong came quickly, arrived at Shangle City, and went directly to the Shizi Mansion, and the two teams of imperial soldiers were fully armed to open the way in front, such a big battle made the people in the city talk a lot.
The Shizi Mansion seemed to be a highly vigilant atmosphere, and Prince An and everyone had already been waiting in the front yard, only to hear a bright voice: "The holy decree has arrived-"
The officials of the Shizifu and others all knelt on the ground, Duanmu Gong strode into the front yard with the holy decree held high under the imperial soldiers, his eyes swept everyone, and said: "Prince An and Helian Qian listen to the decree - I am deeply saddened to hear that Prince An and Prince An are under house arrest, and I can't turn a blind eye to Helian Gan's evil deeds, and I can't hand over the future of the people of Chaozhou to people of such good character, Gu, ordered the third prince Duanmu Gong to temporarily take charge of Chaozhou affairs, and escort Helian Qian to Kyoto for trial, Qin thisββ"
After Duanmu Gong finished reading the holy decree, he asked everyone to get up, and his face turned pale: "Come on, escort the criminal minister Helian Qian back to Beijing!"
Immediately two pairs of imperial soldiers came up, and Prince An hurriedly said: "Third Highness, there is a misunderstanding in this matter, this king has not been threatened, nor has he been placed under house arrest, and please ask His Royal Highness to be aware of everything, don't listen to slander, and catch people wrong."
Duanmu Gong raised his hand to stop the imperial soldiers, turned to look at Prince An, and said: "Prince An, this palace knows that the prince loves his son very much, but the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the gentleman makes a mistake and is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
Gong Xinyue's heart trembled violently, this third prince's eloquence was really powerful, and she quietly glanced at Duanmu Jun.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." At this time, Duanmu Jun walked out of the crowd, and he deliberately lowered his head just now, so Duanmu Gong didn't notice Duanmu Jun.
Duanmu Gong saw Duanmu Jun, his face was surprised, obviously he didn't expect to see him here, he was distracted for a moment, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Second Emperor Brother, why is Second Emperor Brother here?"
"I've been here for a long time, so I'm very clear about what happened during this period, about the content of the holy decree, I need to explain, Prince An is right, Helian Qian did not put Prince An under house arrest, and my father must have accidentally listened to the villain's words to cause such a big misunderstanding." Duanmu Jun said with a smile.
Duanmu Gong's face looked a little ugly, and after a while, he said, "Is the second emperor brother suspicious that his father doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?" If he can win Prince An this time, his father will be impressed by himself, and there must be no mistakes.
"This was said by the third brother, I didn't say that, I just told the truth." Duanmu Jundao.
When Duanmu Gong heard this, he held the holy decree high again: "My father's will is here, even if Helian Qian has a great grievance, I have to go to Kyoto and wait for my father to ask for clarification, just you and I are arguing here, it doesn't seem to make much sense."
"Outside, the king's order is not subject to it, the father and the emperor sent the third brother here just to find out the truth, if it is just to read a holy decree, send a personal eunuch to come, why bother so much? There are obviously grievances here, but the third brother turns a blind eye, how can he be worthy of his father's high hopes? Duanmu Jun said.
Hearing these words in Duanmu Gong's ears, he only felt extremely harsh, and a touch of anger gradually arose in his heart, and he actually compared him with a eunuch, and the anger in his heart rolled in his chest like a fireball, and his face became even more ugly.
Now he has fallen into a very embarrassing situation, if Duanmu Gong forcibly takes Helian Qian away, it will inevitably attract criticism, but if he doesn't take it away, the purpose of his trip will be far away, all kinds of possibilities, all kinds of speculation are spinning rapidly in Duanmu Gong's mind, and finally his eyes are bright.
"What the second emperor brother said is not unreasonable, however, there is no wind and no waves, since my father has received such news, it is inevitable, there are some things that you and I don't know, Helian Qian can temporarily return to Beijing without escorting, but the heart of defense is indispensable, Prince An's military power can only be temporarily taken over by me, to prevent it from being taken away by people with intentions, and when the matter is clear, it will naturally be returned as it is, so, the second emperor brother should have no objections, right?" Duanmu Gong said with a smile.
At the mention of military power, Prince An instantly became nervous, looked at Duanmu Jun with a worried face, and everyone's hearts were also raised, Duanmu Jun pondered for a moment, and said: "Then follow what the third brother said, however, the third brother should know that the soldiers in Chaozhou only recognize people and do not recognize soldiers, and it is not easy for the third brother to achieve military power, and Prince An has to give a good guidance to the soldiers, and the third brother should be able to wait, right?"
Duanmu Gong thought that he would definitely eat Duanmu Jun this time, but he didn't expect to be rebelled by him again, so he could only smile aggrievedly and said: "I never knew that the second emperor brother was such a eloquent person."
"The third brother has won the prize, oh, by the way, where is the third brother staying? I'll come to the door another day to talk about our brotherhood. Duanmu Jun said with a smile unchanged.
Duanmu Gong wanted to take this opportunity to stay in the Shizi Mansion, but when Duanmu Jun said this, where would he still have the face to stay, he arched his hand and said: "Second Emperor Brother Lao is worried, after I stay, I will naturally send someone to inform Second Emperor Brother."
Duanmu Gong held the holy decree in his hand that he was not taken back, and turned around with a gloomy face: "Go!"
Finally got a short respite, everyone's hearts were relieved, Gong Xinyue looked at Duanmu Jun with a grateful face, but was seen in the eyes of someone who had knocked over the vinegar jar, and was very apprehensive, and walked over directly and stood between the two, blocking the line of sight between the two of them.
Duanmu Jun suddenly exploded: "Helian Qian, do you still have a little conscience?" Do you understand how to cross the river and tear down the bridge? This is the second time for you! β
Helian Qian ignored Duanmu Jun's babbling, pulled Gong Xinyue and threw him a back that you can do as you like.
Duanmu Gong returned in vain this time, and soon reached Helenpu's ears, Helenpu was not angry, but happy, this third prince is too arrogant, underestimated Helianqian's ability, now, if he wants to gain a foothold in this Chaozhou, he can only rely on himself.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Duanmu Gong to come to the door in person, Helenpu didn't go to greet him, just sat in the study, waiting for Duanmu Gong to come over, although Duanmu Gong was angry in his heart, but he still came over in person, and when he walked to the door of the study, Helenpu came out of the house in a panic, pretending to be flattered.
"Why did the third prince come over? I don't let people report it, and I'm ashamed to miss it. Helian Pu said again and again, and then looked at the little guy next to him with a sideways face: "You don't have long eyes, why didn't the third prince come to tell me?"
"Back to the eldest prince, you have instructed before that no one is allowed to disturb you while you are reading, the little ......" The little guy looked innocent.
Herenpu immediately interrupted him and said, "Okay, if you sit on the wrong thing, you dare to make excuses and take the punishment yourself!"
"Yes." The little guy bowed his head and left quickly.
How could Duanmu Gong not know that this scene was played for himself, the purpose was to give himself a dismount, and to avenge his refusal to reveal the truth to him that night, Duanmu Gong laughed.
"I came suddenly, the eldest prince doesn't have to punish people, but I didn't expect that the eldest prince is still such a person who loves to read." Duanmu Gong changed the subject.
Helian Pu sneered in his heart, he was really a person who could bend and stretch, and this kind of person was the most terrifying, so he hurriedly got out of the way: "The third prince don't stand outside, please come in the house."
Entering the room, the atmosphere seemed a little strange, Helian Pu and Duanmu Gong competed to see who spoke first, and whoever opened lost the initiative, both of them seemed to be very patient, and drank two cups of tea in the tea cup, without saying a word.
Finally, Duanmu Gong spoke, took out the holy decree and put it in front of Herenpu, and said, "The eldest prince should know the content of this holy decree."
Helenpu nodded and said, "I heard the people below say that the third prince is ......."
"Originally, my father wanted my palace to come to Chaozhou to find out about Helian Qian's house arrest of Prince An, but now he has encountered layers of obstacles, and all the evidence points to Helian Qian's innocence, which means that the information reported by the eldest prince seems to be a little inaccurate, I wonder if my father will be angry after learning about this?" Duanmu Gong also understood Helenpu's careful thinking, and now pointed to him reporting false information, and in the game between the two, Duanmu Gong would still have the upper hand.
Duanmu Gong's chess piece is excellent, the crime of bullying the king, no one can bear it, and his attitude immediately came to a 180-degree turn: "I hope that the third prince will be aware of this matter, my father has always favored the second brother, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what kind of mistakes he makes, my father will turn a blind eye, thinking about this matter, it must be my father who protects the second brother."
"Oh-" Duanmu Gong pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "It seems that there is something wrong with the eldest prince in this hall, before the main palace left Kyoto, my father also specially explained that he must find out about this matter and put the people of Chaozhou in the hands of a reliable person, the eldest prince should help the main palace find evidence, right?"
"For the emperor to share worries and solve problems, it is my duty as a courtier, the third prince and rest assured, I don't want the people of Chaozhou to live in dire straits every day." Helenp Road.
Helenpu's words are very clever, not only pointing out that he is now in the same trench as Duanmu Gong, but also implicitly telling Duanmu Gong that he is the reliable person Duanmu Gong said he said.
"Good! With the words of the eldest prince, the main hall is also relieved. Duanmu Gong said with a smile.
At this moment, Xia Jin was wearing a long skirt made of lilac moonball, like a butterfly, and walked in with a smile: "Husband, I ...... it"
Xia Jin seemed to have just noticed Duanmu Gong, her face flushed for a while, and she quickly lowered her head: "I don't know that my husband has a guest here, and the concubine is rude."
