Chapter 19: It's Time for a Change of Day
Emperor Xuan looked at Yu Sui, the son in front of him who used to say anything was anything, and today he seemed to have thorns all over his body, and he was not at all like the well-behaved appearance he pretended to be in front of him before.
"Okay, you're so good!" Emperor Xuan shook his sleeves angrily, "Aren't you obedient?" You have to find a way to find your own way to make up for this batch of grain and grass, so don't be a prince if you can't make up for it! ”
The hundred officials were taken aback by his appearance, it is a matter of national society, how can the prince say that it can be abolished?
The hundred officials of the court immediately knelt down, "The Holy One is angry!" ”
"Think twice!"
Yu Sui stood in the middle of a group of ministers, with a tall posture, neither humble nor arrogant. His eyes were staring at his good father, and the emperor was extremely indifferent.
Emperor Xuan's heart sank, "Rebel! What do you think? ”
The corners of Yu Sui's mouth suddenly hooked up a touch of arc, and he bent down with the jade slip in his hand and bowed, "Erchen obeys." ”
The eyes of the person in front of him were extremely cold, and they didn't even disdain to disguise. Emperor Xuan was stunned by his appearance, and immediately threw up his sleeves and retreated.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The ministers trembled, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was moody on weekdays, but he had to say that it was indeed admirable for state affairs. If such a thing is to abolish the prince, it is really inappropriate.
Yu Sui looked at the bright yellow back, pinched the fingers of Yu Jian tightened slightly, he lowered his eyes, and stepped out of the gate of the Changming Palace.
"Ah Sui, why are you so impulsive today?" In the east palace, Du Hengzhou looked at the person who was leisurely pouring tea on the case, looking anxious, and he hated iron but not steel. "When is it, are you still in the mood for tea?"
Yu Sui raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, took a sip of tea slowly, and was not shocked: "Lone has been unaware of what is going on for a long time, and he can't control his temper more and more. ”
Du Hengzhou's eyebrows jumped, and he pretended to be caring: "Have you seen the imperial doctor?" ”
"Uncle Lao is bothered." Yu Sui put down the teacup, looked at the person in front of him and smiled lightly, "It's just this matter of grain and grass, uncle, what do you guess I found?" ”
"That grain and grass, how could it be that you went from the route to Jingzhou to Tongcheng for no reason."
"Uncle, do you know who is behind the scenes?"
Du Hengzhou sweated in his hands when he listened to this series of questions, "Ah Sui, are you the object of suspicion?" ”
"I thought you knew, uncle." Yu Sui pretended to be surprised, and looked at Du Hengzhou's eyes full of sarcasm. "Your subordinates, taking advantage of their position as salt carriers, forcibly changed the grain and grass to the official road. I thought you knew that. ”
"Ah Sui, are you suspicious of your uncle?" Du Hengzhou's heart sank, and he never thought that he would puncture this layer of window paper so directly. "Since your mother died, don't you know what your uncle has done to you? You doubt me now? “
What a joke, how about him? He really knew it too well, and when he dreamed back at midnight, he seemed to be awakened by a hundred swords piercing his heart, and those things were vivid, how could he forget them!
"How could it be," Yu Sui looked at Du Hengzhou, and his tone was playful: "Gu naturally knows that my uncle is all for my good." ”
It's just that this matter of food and grass, after all, is a problem with my uncle's subordinates. ”
His tone changed suddenly, with some unspeakable threats, "I think uncle, it must be too busy on weekdays to let his subordinates take advantage of the loopholes, do you say?" ”
Du Hengzhou's palms oozed some sweat, and he looked up at the person on the desk slightly, as if something was out of his expectations. He arched his hand, and his tone was quite self-reproachful: "Ah Sui, this matter is an oversight of my uncle, don't worry, the uncle of the grain and grass will let him spit it out completely." ”
"Then there's Uncle Lao." The corners of Yu Sui's lips curled, "And that Wang Shangshu, uncle must not need me to say more, you should know how to do it, right?" “
"Ah Sui, don't worry, my uncle should give you a satisfactory explanation."
Du Hengzhou was unhappy in the East Palace, and Yu Sui, who was usually obedient to him, seemed to have become a little different. His face was pale, and as soon as he returned home, he immediately sent someone to find Wang Li.
When Wang Li left the East Palace that night, he was knocked unconscious by Du Hengzhou's people and taken away. That night, he swore to Du Hengzhou that Yu Sui would never find out. But now even the salt envoy has been pulled out. Wang Li trembled, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had clearly told him that he would not tell him about it.
But what I never expected was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince changed the hexagram first.
"You say! Here's what's going on! How did the prince know the whereabouts of the grain and grass? Du Hengzhou angrily threw the tea cup on the ground, and the fragments flew up and wiped Wang Li's face, the old injuries were not healed, and new injuries were added.
Wang Li covered the wound and looked panicked: "Du Xiang, I don't know either!" That night, he took a piece of paper and threw it on the old minister's face, and told me all the details of this matter, and the old minister thought that he was meticulous, but he really didn't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it! ”
"What exactly did you say to him that night? Wang Li, you begged me at the beginning, don't let me find out that you are stumbling behind your back. ”
"It's really wronged, Du Xiang!!" Wang Li's face was anxious, and he couldn't even speak clearly. "I was taken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that night, and I only told him that it was the old minister's money obsession and I was forced to be helpless. There was no mention of you or the salt carrier!! ”
Du Hengzhou sighed, his expression was grim, he looked at Wang Li on the ground, and blurted out cold words, "That's the case, Wang Li, I can't protect you in this matter." ”
What do you mean? What does it mean to not be able to keep him? This matter was instructed by Du Hengzhou to do it from beginning to end!
"Du Xiang, what do you mean by this??" Wang Li raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief, "You instructed me to do this from beginning to end!" What do you mean you can't keep me? We're grasshoppers in a boat! ”
"Oh? Do you have proof? Du Hengzhou looked at the people on the ground with disdain, "I have never written with you, and no one else knows about meeting you." You say that I instructed you, and who believes it without evidence? ”
"You!"
"If you know each other, I may be able to help you take care of your wife and children, but if you don't know each other......"
Du Hengzhou didn't say the next words, he looked at the people on the ground coldly, and waved his hand back. "Three days at most, come back to me when you think it through."
"Du Hengzhou! You sinister scoundrel! Sooner or later, the Great Xuan will be destroyed in your hands!! ”
"You say this as if you were a loyal servant. Do you dare to ask which loyal minister will have the idea of fighting the frontline grain and grass? Du Hengzhou sneered, "You can't be a loyal minister, and even being a villain is so stupid." ”
"Du Hengzhou! You will be damned! Du Hengzhou! The two completely tore their faces, and Wang Li stood up directly from the ground, pointed at his nose and cursed.
Du Hengzhou plucked his ears, a little impatient. "Wang Shangshu, you're happy to scold now, but think about your wife and children. After all, you'll have to take care of me after you're gone, won't you? ”
Wang Li looked at the person in front of him, and his eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire. His fingers trembled, obviously angry. The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and he finally lowered his head.
Wang Li was sent away by his subordinates in the same way.
Du Hengzhou looked at the sky outside the window, there was not a trace of clouds in the winter sky, it was high and empty. He sighed, the white mist dissipating into the air, his eyes full of ambition.
Yanling City, it's time for a change of day.
