Just as he was hesitating, suddenly a servant shouted from behind him, "Look, it's a pigeon." ”

Hearing the word pigeon, the chief of the guard guessed a rough idea, after all, he had followed the four princes for so long, and he had not gone to the front line, how could he not guess this kind of strategy.

After a moment's thought, the chief guard took two whistle sticks from the guards beside him and threw them into the air. This trick is very meticulously calculated, if it is with a portable sword, the pigeon must have no way to live, in the future, General Tang will be investigated, the four princes are naturally not easy to explain, but at this moment to change to a whistle stick, after a blow, the pigeon landed, there is a letter in hand, the pigeon does not die, a qiē is easy to deal with, and the impact is naturally a lot smaller.

The two doves struck with the whistle stick, and before they could make a wail, they landed between the guards and the officials.

After the chief of the guard went to the brocade book on the pigeon and read it, he was quite proud, because at this moment he finally had a reason to attack, that is, to maliciously slander and slander the four princes.

At this moment, General Tang finally couldn't sit still, the letter was written by the housekeeper, at this moment he learned the content, he knew that it was not good, so he had to go out quickly, hoping to delay for a while, just now in order not to let his daughter worry, he never informed Tang Youning, just dragged Tang Youning with the fourth lady. At this time, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, so he notified the housekeeper to find Tang Youning, and he went to the door.

In front of the General's Mansion, although General Tang knew that he was at a loss, he still pretended to be calm, and when he walked to the door, he shouted and asked, "Where did you come from, why are you besieging the General's Mansion?"

He asked, what the situation was, naturally needless to say, everyone knew it, so the chief of the guard immediately said: "On the order of the fourth prince, please ask Miss Tang to go to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division to talk!

"Oh, my daughter has been serving her mother at home, and she has always had no quarrel with the world, so she asked her to go to the Soldiers and Horses Division, which is a bit unreasonable, right? Besides, how can she also be the crown princess, if she really wants to go to the yamen, then there should also be a holy oracle from His Majesty, what do you mean?" General Tang asked very loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear it, especially in the word oracle, which was particularly loud, and it seemed that he was determined to use the emperor and the crown prince to suppress the four princes.

The chief of the guard said: "Your Excellency is strict, Your Highness just wants to talk, especially Miss Tang is related to a case, Your Highness is ordered by the Emperor to deal with all kinds of cases, this is also his duty, could it be that Your Excellency doubts His Majesty's holy will?"

The chief of the guard's words are obviously to repay the other in the same way, since you, General Tang, use the emperor to suppress the four princes, then we can naturally use the emperor to suppress you, so when this sentence came out, General Tang was really a little speechless.

Just when General Tang didn't know what to do for a while, Tang Youning suddenly walked out of it and said loudly: "I'll just go with you, quickly evacuate the people!"

Hearing Tang Youning's voice, General Tang was also shocked, although he asked the housekeeper to inform Tang Youning, but it was to prevent the four princes' subordinates from forcibly robbing people, but at this moment Tang Youning himself came out, which was really counterproductive.

General Tang said to Tang Youning with a cold face: "It's none of your business here, you are a woman, hurry up and let me in." ”

Tang Youning said coldly: "General Tang, this crown princess is a woman, but she is also the crown princess of this dynasty, so you can't control this matter!"

Tang Youning's words were very simple and explained the situation, but General Tang was still a little unwilling, so he said to Tang Youning: "You go in with me now, I have something to ask you!"

Tang Youning seemed to want to say something, his lips moved slightly, but he held back and followed General Tang back to the mansion.

Tang Youning asked: "Dad, don't you understand? People are already eyeing our family, it's useless for you to insist, I'll go with them now, you send someone to find the prince, he will find a way!"

General Tang had a cold face, as if he hadn't heard anything, as if this person was not his daughter, and asked coldly: "They said that you were involved in a case, have you caused any trouble recently?" Now to be honest, your father may be able to save you, don't be smart, okay?"

Tang Youning was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, seemed to have something to be proud of, and said to General Tang: "Dad, there are some things, it's better not to know, you just need to know what your daughter has done, just to fulfill her filial piety." I'm going, you hurry up and find the crown prince, if it's late, the four princes will definitely find a way to strike first. ”

Tang Youning really didn't seem to have any intention of getting General Tang involved, so after speaking, before General Tang could express his position, he walked out quickly and said to the group of guards: "Let's go!"

The chief of the guard had long wanted to take Tang Youning away, but he was afraid of the other party's family background and the identity of the crown princess, so it had dragged on until now, and at this moment, people said that they were going, where was there any possibility of hesitation, so he immediately made a gesture to Tang Youning and accepted the team.

In Yuejifang, Hua Jiangyue listened to the words of the guards, and couldn't help but sigh very much at the intention of the four princes, but she was also a little worried in her heart, after all, the trial of the crown princess, or only in the case of a confession, this is not an easy thing, maybe it will be regarded by the emperor as a party dispute, causing unnecessary trouble, but the four princes still do this, what a heavy friendship, Hua Qianyue naturally understands it very well.

After thinking about it again, Hua Jiangyue explained a few words to her maidservant, and let her go to the Third Prince's Mansion, while she followed the guards sent by the Fourth Prince to the Soldiers and Horses.

The fourth prince waited for a long time in the Soldiers and Horses Division, and he was also very anxious, thinking about how to judge the case, but also how to explain to the emperor, and he was very upset. Suddenly, a guard came back to report that Tang Youning had been invited, and now that he was on the road, the four princes' hanging hearts could be put down.

The chief officer on the side said tremblingly: "Your Highness, the prince, do you need to be informed?"

"No need, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, you don't have to care about anything, there is this prince, and I will bear all the responsibilities. The fourth prince raised his hand, signaled that the chief officer did not need to say more, then picked up a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, ordered people to seal it, and sent a fast horse to hand it to the palace.

In fact, the chief officer had long wanted to talk about the prince, but in his opinion, it was impossible for the guards to catch Tang Youning, after all, General Tang loved his daughter like his life, and with this alone, Tang Youning could not fall into the hands of the guards, but now that the wood is in the boat, what can he do, he can only try to remedy it.

After thinking about it for a while, the chief officer still decided to make two preparations, he called a confidant and said to him: "You hurry to the East Palace, report the situation here to the prince, and let him make a decision as soon as possible." ”

For this situation, the people under the four princes naturally discovered it a long time ago, and before the little guy had gone far, he was intercepted and sent to a secret place.

The fourth prince sat on the main seat, took a sip of tea, glanced at the chief officer from time to time, and thought about what to do with this guy, but the chief official had no idea, thinking that he could get out of this dispute, but he didn't know that this was no different from a fool's dream.

Above the main hall of the Terracotta Division, the four princes are wearing a brown five-clawed dragon robe, which is the robe of the prince and the court dress of the prince of this dynasty, representing the prestige of the court. If he hadn't taken this case very seriously, the Fourth Prince would never have wasted time changing this troublesome and uncomfortable piece of clothing.

Originally, the fourth prince was just here to induce a confession today, hoping to get a little bit of information, but he never expected that his strategy hit with one blow, and the female prisoner actually bit Tang Youning out at once.

Tang Youning's identity is the most difficult part of this case, so even if the fourth prince is a prince and has the privilege of the emperor's order, he still needs to be more careful when handling it. The so-called late will change, although the female prisoner wrote a confession, but as the crown princess, Tang Youning would not have been convicted anyway if she had not confronted her in court, and if the female prisoner reacted and wanted to retract her confession, and then wanted to find an opportunity, it would be bound to ascend to the sky, based on these considerations, the four princes would suddenly start the trial.

Because of this, the fourth prince, who traveled in casual clothes, specially sent someone to fetch this dress, in order to deter Tang Youning and express his formality by the way. Perhaps because he felt that this case was really rarely serious, after preparing a qiē, the four princes sent someone into the palace to deliver a letter, wanting to ask the emperor Zhaozong to convict him together.

I have to say that this move is tantamount to gambling, although the prince is not favored, but after all, it is the face of the court, if the emperor does not have the intention of abolishing the prince, he will not use the Zongren Mansion to try the princess anyway, so the four princes are really gambling this time, betting that the emperor will give up the royal face for the sake of the court regulations.

Of course, the fourth prince is not a pedantic and rigid person, he will not think that the emperor will stand in the direction of etiquette, in his opinion, as long as he is convicted in court, whether someone from the Zongren Mansion comes or not, it will be useless, so he will make this move, but this is also a double-edged sword, if it is really judged by himself, then this matter is bound to become a party dispute, then he will not have a good time in the future, but for the kind of attachment in his heart, he must insist.

Just when the four princes were groaning, the chief guard arrived with Tang Youning.

As expected, as soon as Tang Youning came in, he said to the fourth prince: "Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for many days, I didn't expect to meet here, sister-in-law, I'm really cold." ”

The fourth prince had long expected that Tang Youning would definitely put on a show of being a crown princess to delay time, but he didn't expect Tang Youning to have this attitude.

The fourth prince got up and arched his hand, and then said slowly: "The imperial sister-in-law is okay. Today's courtiers are wearing gowns, which is inconvenient to salute, and besides, this is the yamen, and behind me is a plaque hanging from the mirror, so I will clearly judge the case according to the laws and regulations of the court, and it is not appropriate to involve personal feelings. Therefore, I hope that the crown princess will not regard herself as the crown princess, and do not regard her courtiers as the prince. ”
