Chapter 62: Who's Confused First?
Lord Yue's move today is to throw stones and ask for directions.
But King Chen didn't think that Lord Yue's sincerity was very sincere. This Lord Yue should act in line with the principle that no one should be offended, and he also wants to follow the prince's side, and he doesn't want to offend on his own side. The calculation should be to wait and see what happens, to see who will promote and reuse him, and to see who is a real master.
It's just that Yue Huai thinks about it in his heart, he doesn't have to take it to heart. As long as you know that Yue Huai is a smart person, it's okay. At this stage, he doesn't want a fully loyal follower, but someone who is willing to do things and can do things.
Yue Huai saw that King Chen just took a sip of tea and didn't speak, but he didn't think that King Chen would condemn him.
But there are still some necessary fears: "The lower official is guilty, and he has committed a moment of confusion, so I beg His Highness to punish him...... If His Royal Highness does not punish the lower officials, it will be really difficult for the lower officials to feel at ease in their hearts......"
Yue Huai had already kowtowed to the ground again.
King Chen had no choice but to go around the desk and help him up again.
"What is your sin? Everyone is a person who is dedicated to doing things for my Fengguo, but their starting points are different. I can't help it. If the king had been in the position of an adult, he would have done the same under the circumstances. On the contrary, it can be seen that the adult is a good official who is serious about his work. ”
"Your Highness is too elevated to be a lower official, and the lower official is ashamed to be a ......" Yue Huai followed King Chen's support and got up.
"At the time of the incident, the king was also in the prince's mansion, and I heard the eldest brother conclude that it was done by some people from the rivers and lakes who came to Kyoto City recently. Say what...... The Iron Hand Gang. Anyway, how it was arranged, this king is not clear. It's just that this king thinks that the princess Ji people have their own natural appearance, even if those people in the rivers and lakes are bold, they will not do anything to the princess of this king. ”
As he spoke, King Chen went around to the chair behind the desk and sat idly, motioning for Yue Huai to sit too.
Yue Huai sat down diagonally again, listening respectfully to King Chen's words.
King Chen was very leisurely, as if telling a story: "If the adults catch those Jianghu people for a while, they must be interrogated carefully, so that they can explain truthfully, and they dare not do anything to the princess of this king." As for the eldest brother's concubines, this Wang Jue's ...... Tsk, it looks so messy, I guess it's not anyone, and no one believes it. ”
"It's just that they must not have so much spare time, and the six women, not all of them can be offended. The faces of the lightly dressed beauties present at the time, can the adults remember clearly? It is estimated that they have been moved, and no one else has been touched. Doesn't that make sense? Not only did we have an explanation for the people who were concerned about this matter, but we also asked the truth, so as not to let the innocence of the innocent woman be dusted. ”
Yue Huai listened to King Chen's words, and when he heard King Chen's command, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness is wise, there must be no doubt that this must be the case." ”
King Chen nodded and said with a smile: "To be honest, this king is a little anxious about this matter, after all, it is about the innocence of the princess." Fortunately, the adult is a good official, and he is able to do things, and it is estimated that within an hour, this matter will progress. After all, this is a matter for the royal women, and it doesn't hurt for the adults to try it overnight, right? ”
"This matter is very important, how dare the lower officials slacken? What's more, those gangsters are scheming, since they finally caught them, how can it be reasonable to detain them for the night and give them a chance to escape? Your Highness can rest assured, as long as those villains are caught, the lower officials will definitely be able to ask the truth from their mouths and return the princess's innocence. ”
"Hmm", King Chen said with a smile, "Lord is a smart person, and a smart person has his own heavenly help." The adults sent a few henchmen, and then went to the eastern suburbs to look for them, and maybe they would catch two Jianghu people. There are not many people to send, but they must be as smart and proper as adults, and they must be trustworthy. ”
"Thank you Your Highness for your advice, Your Highness rest assured, those thieves won't be able to run away tonight." Yue Huai Road.
"It's just ......" Yue Huai pretended to hesitate and asked, "It's the first time for Xia Guan to deal with such a case, I don't know what these thieves should be guilty of?" ”
King Chen smiled and said, "With your lordship's familiarity with the law, whatever sin should be sins, it will be any sin." There should be such audacity and recklessness, such a level of beheading for public display, right?
Yue Huai was full of doubts, but since King Chen had agreed to let him be beheaded, he wanted to come...... I guess the dead man was sent. Whatever His Highness commands, he can do, and he will not be wrong if he is obedient.
"Okay, Lord Yue is still busy, and this king won't keep you. Wait for the trial of this case, if the eldest brother is present, this king will definitely be present. If the eldest brother doesn't go, everything will be decided by the adults. King Chen said.
"Yes, the next official will retire." Yue Huai respectfully bowed to King Chen.
King Chen got up and said with a smile: "This king is going to see the princess, just send the adult to the door." ”
"Ouch...... This, the lower officials dare not be lifted up like this. Yue Huai was honestly afraid.
"What doesn't lift up?" King Chen smiled, "Your Excellency has made this king so solemn, confusing this king!" This king and adults can talk, between our colleagues and friends, why do we have to be so serious? Let's go, let's go, this king misses the princess! People are not seen for a day, such as every three autumns, this king is not seen for a moment, such as every three autumns!"
"Your Highness is amorous, and the ministers are vulgar and ugly! Haha......" Yue Huai laughed.
sent Yue Huai out to ask Liu Zhai, and King Chen instructed Yunshang to personally send Yue Huai out of the back door. Yue Huai entered through the front door, it was a last resort, but if possible, he was naturally willing to go out more secretly through the back door, which was tacitly done.
Seeing that King Chen treated himself so politely and handled things so shrewdly and thoughtfully, Yue Huai was already a little biased towards King Chen in his heart. It's one thing to just who you tend to, and it's another thing whether people value you or not.
Judging from tonight's negotiations alone, he could conclude that King Chen was definitely a master worthy of assistance. It's just that such a master, there is absolutely no shortage of talented and loyal people who sit down. He is a small Jingzhao Mansion Yin, except for this case, I am afraid that there will be nothing that can be used by King Chen in the future.
I don't know what the future will be, and let's take a step at a time! In short, such a person must not be offended.
Even if there is no place for him for the time being, once King Chen really ascends to the pole, his career, even if it is not limitless, there will always be opportunities to be a court official.
After Yue Huai left, King Chen asked Zhuo Jiu to go to Zhaode Temple with him. When he returned to Zhaodeyuan, he wrote a letter in the small study and handed it to Zhuo Jiu: "You go, send it to Lei Zhu." Don't be discovered, ride a fast horse through the secret passages. ”
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Zhuo Jiu took the letter and hurriedly retreated.
King Chen is still very relieved about Zhuo Jiu, although this kid is usually a playful master, he doesn't look serious, like an unsteady person. But in fact, I am also very thoughtful in my heart, and when I encounter major events, I am very calm in doing things. It's just that he always plays with him on weekdays, and it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with some of his nonsense temper.
After the arrangements were made, King Chen entered the bedroom with a smile: "Concubine Ai misses this king?" ”
Rong Yunxi ignored his teasing and asked, "Is Your Highness planning to fight back?" ”
"It's not ...... to fight back," King Chen said, locking her eyes and looking a little serious, "It's just that it should be guarded, and this king must not let people spoil it." ”
Rong Yunxi saw that he suddenly became serious, but for a while, he didn't think of what the "should be guarded" he said in his mouth was.
It's just that she doesn't know what happened after she fell unconscious. She could only roughly estimate that someone must have tempted King Chen in the past, and this person was most likely Qin Yingyue. At the most critical time, someone must have broken into the door and arrested King Chen. Then, naturally, it was the prince's anger that made the matter bigger.
The "thing to be guarded" that King Chen said could not be his own reputation, because King Chen didn't seem to care about his reputation. Then, when it comes to this matter, the other things that need to be guarded by him are naturally Qin Yingyue.
King Chen sat on the edge of her bed, still looking at her. It was as if he wanted to figure out something by looking at her. Because Rong Yunxi could see that King Chen was thinking about things.
Rong Yunxi didn't bother him, but he felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him so seriously. So close your eyes and follow his example.
When King Chen saw her close her eyes, he didn't say anything, but got up and went out. Standing in the courtyard, he shouted to the small kitchen at the back of the house, "In early summer, is your porridge ready?" Why is it so rubbing? ”
Chuxia and Zhiqiu listened and looked at each other.
Zhiqiu said: "What do you say? Didn't Sister Chu Xia say that His Highness meant that we should not disturb him and the young lady alone? Just now we went in to serve Miss, and Miss said that she didn't need to serve, and wanted to stay by herself for a while! Both of them drove us away, but now they are urging us again! ”
Chu Xia smiled: "What else can happen?" I guess His Highness is messing with our young lady. Anyway, we can't go wrong. ”
"What does this king say to you? Gasp for breath! ”
"Your Highness, wait a minute! Rice porridge is only delicious when it is thickened! "Early summer ran out and said to King Chen.
"Hurry up, you young lady is hungry! This king looks distressed! King Chen said.
Hearing that he was standing in the courtyard embarrassed by the two little girls, Rong Yunxi had already laughed softly.
What's going on? She didn't poke at his weakness, so why did he make him look like he was angry?
King Chen entered the house and saw Rong Yunxi with a smile on his face. As if nothing had happened, he walked leisurely and sat down in front of her bed.
looked at each other for a while, and both of them were stunned. No one knows what to say.
