Chapter 322: King Han's Strategy
In the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, the figures shuttled but did not bring much movement, and the eunuchs and palace maids were all calm and cautious. The purple smoke of the Boshan furnace was heavy, and behind the layers of bright yellow curtains, the emperor's half-lying figure was old and decadent.
The prince sat on the side of the bed and whispered something in his voice. The emperor's half-closed eyes opened slightly, and his calm face showed anger: "Fool! Idiot! How did I give birth to such a stupid person? Let a small long history in the house play around! β
The prince smiled and said, "You always believe it now, right?" The third brother is pure and filial by nature, how could he do such a rebellious thing? This Gu Sheng confessed to practicing Bai Jin before, and Erchen felt that he had bad intentions, and sure enough, he framed Bai Tang again! The people of the Terracotta Division found out clearly, Bai Tang had no contact with Zhao Wangfu, and there was no secret collusionββ"
"If Bai Tang is willing to help him, will it be today's situation?" The Emperor was furious. If Gu Sheng was involved with others, he might still be a little suspicious, but if he pulled Bai Tang for no reason, his vicious thoughts were revealed. The emperor gasped for a moment, suppressed the itch in his throat, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Go, let the grandson tell Bai Tang what Gu Sheng said."
The prince was stunned: Doesn't this make Bai Tang frightened?
The emperor glanced at him with a smile: "Don't worry, Bai Tang knows what to do." β
The prince didn't dare to ask more, and after serving his father and the emperor with medicine, he took his leave. When he returned to the East Palace, he called the grandson and gave him some instructions. Then he asked in confusion: "Father, is this beating Bai Tang?" Or do you want to appease him? β
Taisun smiled bitterly: "Father." You want to exonerate King Zhao, and you can't convince the emperor's grandfather with the current evidence alone. β
"Lone doesn't want to exonerate King Zhaoβ" the prince frowned, "That holy decree really appeared strangely. β
The grandson thought for a while: "What the emperor's grandfather meant, the son understands. This matter will be handed over to the sons. β
Early the next morning, the grandson rushed to Songzhuzhai. Unexpectedly, Quan Hong told him that the owner had not come to the shop in recent days. Taisun suddenly smiled: Where is it, newlywed Yan'er, Xu San is still pestering Bai Tang to be crooked enough?
So he transferred to the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Bai Tang felt that his skeleton was going to be tossed and scattered by Xu San in the past few days. Lying on the eight-foot bed on all fours, the people around him were still playing with his hair. Sniffing the scent of his hair and kissing his ear again. Bai Tang couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Enough! β
Xu San laughed lowly, and pretended to be aggrieved: "It's only been a few days since you got married, and you dislike me!" β
Abandon? That's right, it's disgust!
Bai Tang disliked the man's function for the first time, which was too good and too strong. He was powerless, so he realized that Xu San had let himself go in the past. This realization made him feel frustrated. couldn't help but hate and glanced at him: "Do you know how to write the word moderation?" I don't want to change men halfway. β
Xu San's back was cold. Immediately retracted the thoughts in his heart: "Okay, well, Bai Tang will have the final say in the future!" β
There are no elders in the house, and no one cares about them these days. It's easy to get up early, and when it's time for breakfast, the grandson arrives.
The grandson saw that Bai Tang was still dressed as a man, but he was a little lazy and tired, and then looked at Xu Sanchun's face. was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and couldn't help glaring at Xu San: Do you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?
Xu San didn't understand the thin responsibility in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's better to come early than to come by chance." We're having breakfast. β
"Early food?" Taisun turned his head to look at the sun in horror, and suppressed the sourness in his heart: No matter how late this hour, you can have lunch!
He looked at a table of delicate Jiangnan snacks, smelled the fresh fragrance, and couldn't help asking: "Is this the chef who invited upstairs?" β
Bai Tang smiled: "Quickly add a pair of dishes and chopsticks to the grandson." β
The grandson was not polite, sat down and tasted a few snacks, and saw that the little couple had eaten almost enough, so he stopped washing his mouth. The three of them went to the study to discuss the matter.
"Gu Sheng is climbing nonsense, Your Majesty doesn't believe it at all." The grandson tasted the tea and peeked at Bai Tang's face through the tea smoke. "It's just...... Your Majesty trusts you, but you are afraid that others in the DPRK and China will take advantage of the topic. β
Before Bai Tang could speak, Xu San said impatiently: "Okay." What kind of edge do we have to fight between our uncles and nephews? Say, what do you want me to do with Bai Tang? "Don't keep peeking at Bai Tang, he is now your real aunt!
Uncle and nephew, Taisun's face froze. Stinky boy! It's amazing to rely on the high seniority!
He coughed lightly: "That-Bai Tang, what do you think about this case?" β
Bai Tangfeng's eyes widened slightly, and he laughed in surprise: "Ask me? β
Taisun knocked lightly on the table: "We should check everything." But now the case is stuck on that forged decree. β
Bai Tang turned his face sideways, and lowered his eyelashes like feathers: "Gu Sheng said that the holy decree brocade silk is the ...... I weave."
Taisun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty didn't believe in his frame!" Didn't I immediately ask me to explain it to you? It's just that the use of the holy decree brocade silk in the palace is recorded. The Imperial Guards checked the number of remaining brocade silk, and there was no shortage. β
Bai Tang pondered for a moment: "You and I both know that King Zhao's share of brocade silk is very likely to be obtained from King Han. Therefore, there is no shortage of brocade silk in the palace. Dare to ask Taisun, how long did it take to find out that King Zhao entered the Treasure Seal Bureau and when His Majesty arrived? β
Taisun thought about it: "At most, half a cup of tea." β
Bai Tang's phoenix eyes were half-drooping: "Suppose he sneaked into the Treasure Seal Bureau while people were unprepared and colluded with the eunuchs in the bureau." After half a cup of tea, I opened the cabinet, took out the treasure seal, and put the seal on the brocade silkββ"
Taisun shook his head: "But nothing suspicious was found on him." β
Xu San sighed and blurted out, "How is that possible?" Did he hide somewhere? Did the Guards search carefully? β
Taisun frowned: "The palace searched very carefully - there was no omission." β
Bai Tang's heart flashed, snapped his fingers, and smiled at Xu San: "Yes, it is true that they are hidden!" β
Taisun Qi said: "Things are in a hurry, where can he hide Jin Aya from being discovered?" β
Bai Tang Feng's eyes smiled, and he said word by word: "Hidden in the Treasure Seal Bureau!" β
Treasure Seal Bureau?!
Bai Tang explained with a smile: "This brocade silk brought into the palace by King Zhao is originally from the Treasure Seal Bureau!" β
Taisun was stunned, and quickly understood what he meant: "But, even if he takes him out of the palace, the palace can find out after a little inventoryββ"
"So King Zhao, it's still being deceived." Bai Tang looked amazed, "The brocade silk he brought into the palace is not a fake from the King of Han. It's the real thing in the palace. If he can be successfully taken out of the palace, even if the holy decree is forged, as the prince said, the use of the holy decree brocade in the palace is recorded, and it will be a matter of time before he is punctured. If it fails and an accident occurs, the Treasure Seal Bureau should return this piece of brocade to its original place, and the gods will not know it. β
Taisun's eyes widened when he heard this: "So, the chief eunuch of the Treasure Seal Bureau really has a problem. β
Bai Tang bowed: "The holy decree you found in King Zhao's mansion is probably a fake that King Han has spent years of painstaking efforts to imitate. As for who wrote the edict on behalf of King Zhao......"
Xu San suddenly remembered something: "You once told me that Fei Biao in the Han Palace, is the eyeliner that King Zhao put in the Han Palace?" β
"Now it seems that the position of the praying mantis and the yellow finch has been reversed." Bai Tang smiled. This Fei Biao, with superb acting skills, almost deceived himself. He looked at Taisun and said faintly, "Your Majesty has suffered an old injury after falling from his horse, and his body is much worse than before. After His Majesty's thousand years, the crown prince succeeded to the throne. But the prince's body, although it doesn't spread much outside, I'm afraid it's not very good, right? β
He died of illness within a year of succession. Zhu Gaochi was probably the second shortest-lived emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
