Chapter 109: Meaningful
There is no shortage of water or firewood on the outskirts of the city, and everyone is waiting for the soap to come, so that they can take a good shower and make their bodies fragrant.
A few days later.
The people sent by Li Xingchen to Chang'an began to pull up banners, and while walking through the streets, they shouted, "Come and see, come and see." ”
The people who were doing things immediately heard the movement and looked over.
I saw that the red spokes read: "The Marquis of Dingyuan was ordered by the prince to steal soap, and the court officials asked Liu in the middle of the night to find out what was interesting." ”
All of a sudden, all the people were talking.
The Marquis of Dingyuan was ordered by the prince to steal soap?
Asked Willow in the middle of the night?
Oh my God, Marquis Dingyuan, who has inherited the throne for not long ago, is only eighteen this year, and it is really a shame to do such a thing as an official of the imperial court!
Although Goolan Yuan was legal, the imperial court had a clear rule that officials should be clean and self-conscious, and should not enter or leave that kind of place.
Now it's a good thing, in just half a day, the people in the entire capital know about Dingyuan Hou stealing chickens and dogs, and he is angry that he hides in Dingyuan Hou's Mansion and is furious, and vents his unhappiness by smashing things.
That night, Li Zhen directly sent his father-in-law to deliver a holy decree, and at the same time posted notices in the capital.
It means that Dingyuan Hou behaved inappropriately, suspended everything in his hands, and waited for an investigation.
As for the crown prince, Li Zhen washed a wave of white for him, saying that someone had a heart to pull the prince into the water in the name of Dingyuan Marquis looking for flowers and asking willows.
After all, the prince is exhausted for the country and the people, and he, the emperor, can prove that the prince will not send the marquis of Dingyuan to go thousands of miles to steal soap.
This one, so that Yuanhou is going to blow up, and in the end it becomes a one-man show by himself, throwing any pot at himself?
As soon as he thought of the three old aunts, Dingyuan Hou couldn't stop retching.
With a scream, he began to pick up the stool and smash it wildly, his face hideous, his eyes red.
The subordinates retreated to the side in fright, looking at him in fear as if he wanted to kill.
There are also some little maids whose psychology is quite unbalanced, and it is not that there are no maids at home, so they have to travel thousands of miles to Lingzhou? What kind of mental illness does his young master have?
Now that this habit has been discovered, it has become annoyed and angry, and it is really panicked to smash it at home.
Tired of smashing, Dingyuan Hou lay on the ground panting, looking at his subordinates and roaring: "Get out, whoever told you here, get out!" ”
The Marquis of Dingyuan's face was pale, revealing a thick murderous aura, and the people didn't dare to say anything, so they hurriedly turned their heads and left.
Anger was unwilling to fill the heart of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and after he slammed the ground, he got up and went to the prince's mansion.
Prince's Mansion.
The prince was already resting, and when the eunuch called out to the Marquis of Dingyuan at the door of his room to come over to discuss important matters, the prince got up and dressed dissatisfied.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." When the Marquis of Dingyuan saw people come out, he saluted respectfully.
The crown prince walked to the throne and sat down, "What is the important matter of visiting late at night?" ”
Regarding the matter of the three old ladies of Dingyuan Hou Dazhan, he admired the five-body throwing to the ground, and asked him to go to Lingzhou to see the soap, why did he look for flowers and ask Liu? Almost didn't laugh at him until his stomach cramped.
Marquis Dingyuan glanced left and right, "His Royal Highness the Prince, look..."
His meaning is already obvious, there are many people talking, and they want to talk about it alone.
After a while, the prince got up, "Come with Gu." ”
The crown prince didn't know what was important for the Marquis of Dingyuan to come to him so late, but it seemed very important to look at his attitude.
Soon came to the study, outside the heavy soldiers, do not have to worry about the partition wall has ears.
"Prince, do you know who deliberately did the matter between me and the three old women?"
At the mention of the old woman, his eyes were filled with thick anger, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Since he did that, on the way back to the capital, he felt that his skin was itchy, and he was afraid that he would be infected with sexual urgency, and he did not dare to go to the doctor to see it, lest the people of the capital would spread even more ugly.
The prince was stunned, wasn't it an old woman who couldn't bear loneliness and had a habit to find?
However, seeing what the Marquis of Dingyuan said, I'm afraid things are not so simple.
Dingyuan Hou took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
"It was Li Xingchen, a chaotic minister and thief, who drugged me and made me cause such a big scandal, and he even sent someone to make this incident in the capital."
"What? Li Xingchen? The prince suddenly exclaimed.
"Yes, it's him. As soon as we arrived in Lingzhou that day, we saw tens of thousands of soaps on the outskirts of the city, and when we went over to take a look, Li Xingchen wronged me, saying that I wanted to steal soap. After that, they beat me up twice, which was too deceitful. ”
The crown prince frowned slightly, the Marquis of Dingyuan came to visit late at night, and said so many inexplicable words, did he mean something?
It was indeed the prince who asked the Marquis of Dingyuan to go to Lingzhou to inquire about the soap, but he didn't let him steal it, and learning the core technology was the key.
Could it be that he is looking for himself to make amends?
"Prince, now that the matter has come to this, what do you want to do?" Marquis Dingyuan's words carried a hint of temptation, and he smiled: "You have also been the prince for a long time, right?"
And the emperor clearly had many opportunities to kill the rebellious minister and thief, but he didn't kill him, have you ever considered a question, that is, the emperor is actually honing Li Xingchen, and he didn't think about killing him at all.
I wonder if one day I will make him the crown prince! ”
"Presumptuous." The prince slammed the table with a cold chill in his eyes.
In his heart, the future throne is his, and Li Xingchen is just a chaotic minister and thief, what to fight with?
Although he had to admit that Li Xingchen was better than him, he didn't allow anyone to say such things in front of him.
The Marquis of Dingyuan sinisterly hooked the corners of his lips, "His Royal Highness the Prince, even if you don't talk about this, have you ever counted how old the emperor is this year?" Less than forty is the prime of life, and when you can inherit the throne in the future, at least thirty or forty years, at most seventy or eighty years, can you afford to wait?
I'm afraid, even if you are willing to wait, the emperor will not give you this opportunity, it is better to take precautions..."
"Presumptuous, Marquis Dingyuan, are you trying to persuade Lone to rebel now?" The prince was furious and swept the teacup off the table to the ground.
The reason why the Marquis of Dingyuan came to persuade the prince to rebel was that he felt that the emperor was conniving at Li Xingchen, otherwise there was no way to explain that a waste prince who had been deprived of his imperial status could attack more than ten cities in a row in just a few months.
He has invented so many things that have never been heard or seen.
If there was no emperor's support behind him, he wouldn't believe that he had such great energy.
He is now losing face and suffering from impatience, all thanks to Li Xingchen, and he can't swallow this breath.
If the emperor can't administer justice to him, then of course he has to work the crown prince.
However, the crown prince never thought of rebelling.
