Chapter 545: Truth and Lies
Trust is like a gamble, the right bet is a lot of money, and the wrong bet is ruined. You think you are following the rules of trust and looking for clues of suspicion, but in fact, this is simply an uncontrolled game, Xiuxiu didn't think that because of his words, Ji Gongyan would change his attitude towards Bao Xi, but at least ...... She is a grass that crushes the camel's back, and the tragedy of Bao Xi is because she is an unruly harem woman, and her non-alignment eventually makes this harem erect countless opponents of her.
Ji Gongyan didn't answer Xiuxiu's question, how could Bao Xi not know that Bofu knew water? Because Bofu had deceived Bao Xi like this, but that scene was seen by him, if it weren't for this, maybe Mrs. Chu was dead at this moment, and Ji Gongyan would not have seen that this was a well-arranged game of Bofu. The mechanism is exhausted, and it is always invincible.
Bofu was pushed into the water, struggled for a long time and then gradually disappeared, Mrs. Chu on the shore left, and Ji Gongyan waited for people to return to the Xiande Palace, Bofu would definitely come to complain to him, he hoped that he guessed wrong. But as the emperor expected, his son came out of the water soon after getting wet, swam to the shore and coughed twice, symbolically twisted the water on his skirt, and stared at the place where Mrs. Chu left, "What else did she say?" ”
"Threaten me with the affairs of the Qin State and ask me not to tell the truth to the king." Win Kai said.
"Hmph......" Bofu snorted coldly, looked at Ying Kai and ordered, "You jump down." ”
"Huh?" Ying Kai asked in shock, thinking that he had misheard what Bofu was saying.
"If you don't jump, how can you explain how I got up? If I could come up by myself, I wouldn't have to act that drama to deceive Mrs. Chu just now! Bofu said, Ying Kai nodded, jumped into the lotus pond, he did not understand the nature of water, only dared to linger on the edge of the lotus pond for a while, clothes, shoes and hats were all wet and hurried ashore. Bofu nodded with satisfaction, strode in front and walked in the direction of the Xiande Palace, he couldn't help but sneer at Mrs. Chu in his heart, he thought it would take some thought to think about this matter, but because Mrs. Chu's city was shallow and easy to achieve, he appeared in the Xiande Hall wet all over his body, leaving a line of water stains everywhere he went, and people were shocked when they saw this prince and Qin Bo coming from outside, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Your Highness, but what happened?" ”
"Is Father here?" Bofu asked directly.
"I've just come back......," Xiren said, pointing to the study in the back room, "With a dark face, I'm afraid it's not a good mood, and Your Highness had better not anger the king anymore." This well-intentioned reminder that because of the frequent conflicts between the prince and the king of Zhou, the entire Hojing people sweated for the young prince, and now Ji Gongyan has no heirs, otherwise I am afraid that the turmoil of the abolished prince will have to be staged again.
Bofu nodded at the kind reminder of him, and thanked him with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, do you need the old slave to find some clean clothes? What just happened? Xiren asked, but Bofu shook his head, "No need, I just need this dress!" He said and walked in the direction of the study, and the people inside reported to the king of Zhou that the prince was coming, and Ji Gongyan nodded and asked the people to let the prince in, and his heart had actually sunk most of it, and then he looked at Bofu wet up and down into the study, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a "bang", and his whole heart sank completely, knowing that Bofu's behavior was not much different from what he had guessed.
"Father!" Bofu knelt on the ground and looked up at Ji Gongyan, with tears in his eyes as if he had been greatly wronged, if he didn't know the cause and effect, he was afraid that Ji Gongyan would believe the cry of this seven-year-old child, and pulled Mrs. Chu into the Hall of Virtue to be punished with a cane.
"What's going on?" Ji Gongyan frowned slightly, looked at the person standing outside the door and said, "Go get clean clothes for the prince to change!" ”
"Yes!" And he was commanded to withdraw from the house.
Bofu looked up at his father, tears in his eyes, "Father, just now Mrs. Chu wanted to kill her son, pushed her son into the lotus pond, and almost took her life, if it weren't for Uncle Qin's sacrifice to save him, his son would not have his life to see his father!" As he spoke, he burst into tears, "I also ask my father to be the master of my sons, and it is really a disaster for my father to have such a lady in the harem!" ”
"Who is the widow's wife, and now it's your turn to teach the widow a lesson?" Ji Gongyan slapped the table and glared at the kneeling Bofu on the ground and scolded angrily, I don't know why Bofu looks very decent everywhere when talking to others and doing things, but when he talks to himself, he often provokes this monarch to be furious. Bofu is not very old, and he has a lot of resentment towards his father in his heart, that is, he thinks about more decent words in his heart, with such resentment, he will inevitably say the truth in the form of a slip of the tongue, Bofu knows that he does not dare to interfere with what wife and concubine King Zhou marries, but when the words come to his mouth, it seems that he is not up to him, and he comes out of his own way, Bofu was yelled by Ji Gongyan, and the roar was a little messy, but fortunately he quickly stabilized, but he kowtowed to Ji Gongyan three times, "If my father thinks that Mrs. Chu pushed her son down the lotus pond, It was the son's fault that he almost took his son's life, so the son-in-law went to Youyang Palace to match Mrs. Chu! ”
Ji Gongyan's brows were deeply furrowed, he was quite dissatisfied when he heard this, and when he saw the person who had just taken a clean suit of clothes enter the door, he ordered, "Put down your clothes and go to Youyang Palace to invite Mrs. Chu!" ”
"Yes!" He replied.
"Let's change my clothes first." Ji Gongyan said, stood up and paced from the table to Bofu's side, and circled around him, "Today, you and Uncle Qin should go to the front hall to go to the court, but the two of you didn't go, but had an argument with Mrs. Chu in the harem, don't you think you should explain this matter to the widow?" ”
"Weichen deserves death!" Win Kai saw the right time and knelt on the ground with a "bang", kowtowing to Ji Gongyan constantly, "This matter is all Weichen is not, these days Weichen received a letter from the Qin State, and the dog Rong waved his army to attack the capital of my Qin State, which made me uneasy these days, and now the army of Baili Cheng is in the south, ready to attack the Shen State at any time, but the dog Rong army is in the Shenhou, and the Weichen does not know what to do for a while, and he has never been able to get the essentials after thinking about it!" Later last night, I sent someone to come and talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness took leave from Dazaigong, and originally planned to discuss this matter with Weichen today, and the two of us had a detailed discussion on the edge of the lotus pond, which happened to coincide with Mrs. Chu passing by here! ”
Ji Gongyan's brows frowned, he had already known about the attack on Qin by the dog Rong, so he waited for this Qin Uncle to speak to himself, he didn't want to win at this young age, but he could bear it, and after enduring it for many days, he refused to mention a word to Ji Gongyan, but he came to discuss with the uncle, who was only seven years old and couldn't do anything, and it made this king feel ridiculous, "Oh? Dog Rong attacked the Qin State, why didn't this matter be mentioned to the widow in the early dynasty? ”
"Now that the king is busy dealing with Sima Yongzhi's case, the dust has not yet settled, and my Xiqin is in a war situation again, and Weichen does not dare to add to the king's troubles, so he has to hope that he can solve this matter by himself!" Win Kai said.
"How are you going to solve this matter?" Ji Gongyu asked.
Bofu didn't know about this matter at all, if he hadn't found a reason to say why he didn't go to the court at this moment, he was afraid that Ying Kai would not say this matter at all, Bofu gritted his teeth, his hands were clenched very tightly, this matter made him quite dissatisfied with Ying Kai, although he didn't know what Ying Kai said to Mrs. Chu just now, now recalling the words just now, it seems that the whole harem people know about it, and only he is kept in the dark, this feeling makes Bofu very unhappy in his heart, and he said ruthlessly to his father, "According to what Erchen saw." For example, today everyone knows that Qin and Zheng are going to encircle and suppress Shen and Chu, but I am afraid that if Shen takes the lead in raising troops and gaining the lead, Qin will inevitably be tired of fighting and fall into passivity! Father may wish to send my Great Zhou soldiers and horses, to Qin State to fight with the dog Rong, the dog Rong heard that my Great Zhou waved the division, will definitely flee in embarrassment, then my Great Zhou army and horse will wave the division south and Baili General Division, change the plan of attacking Shen and Chu in three ways that day, and change it to a two-way attack, although Shen Guo is easy to defend and difficult to attack by virtue of natural dangers, but my army is several times for it, Shen Guo will become a weakness, and it will be easy to clamp down on Chu State at that time! ”
"It's so easy!" Ji Gongyan looked at his son and nodded, his opinion washed away his dissatisfaction with his son just now, and a slight smile of relief appeared on his face, "Go and change your clean clothes first, don't catch a cold, this matter can be discussed in the court later, and then make a decision!" ”
Bofu's words made Win Kai uncomfortable, Win Kai bit his lower lip, and regretted why he refused to inform Bofu of this matter in advance that day, so as not to be put in such a position by Bofu here today, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "What His Highness said is extremely true, and now it is the only way!" ”
"Why did Mrs. Chu quarrel with the two of you?" Ji Gongyan looked at Bofu and asked, he was also quite curious about how he would answer, Bofu had just picked up the clean clothes, and when he heard his father ask this, he quickly put down the clothes, and then knelt down in front of Ji Gongyan, "Father forgives sins!" ”
"Forgive what sins?" Ji Gong asked puzzled.
"The queen mother was framed and murdered Empress Shen, this incident made the sons and daughters sad, and in the words of Mrs. Chu, they also wanted to compete for the queen mother, but they didn't want Mrs. Chu to be angry and attack her, push the sons into the water, and even want to kill the sons and daughters!" Bofu said, this made Ji Gongyu nodded, "As the son of the queen, it is normal for you to compete for her, what a crime!" ”
"And that's not all!" Bofu said bitterly, biting his lower lip.
"What else?" Ji Gongyu asked.
"Erchen knows that the queen mother was framed and wronged, all because she borrowed Mrs. Chu's hand to kill Shen, and provoking the dispute between Shen and Chu was a decision made by Erchen and Mrs. Zheng, and the queen mother didn't know anything about this matter!" Bofu said word by word, but there was the equally immature but very harsh voice of Mrs. Chu Xiong Ning behind him, "You lie!" ”
