Chapter 156: Tongue War

On the way back, Wanyue couldn't help but sigh to Yinqi: "Is it true that you said that the prince robbed the people's daughters?" ”

Yinqi shook his head, he didn't want to get involved in the battle between the eldest brother and the prince, since he could remember, the two of them had been competing with each other openly and secretly, everyone was brothers, why should they be so serious?

He frowned slightly and looked at Wan Yue, sighed and said, "The second brother has been the crown prince for almost twenty-six years now, and there has always been a lot of gossip about him, and this matter is not good for judgment before there is no evidence." ”

Wanyue looked at Yinqi's appearance, and knew that he definitely didn't want to get involved in such a thing as a brother's dispute, so she didn't ask any more.

The prince in Yuqing Palace was not at ease after all, and secretly took his token out of the palace.

When Suo Etu saw the prince, he was shocked, and after looking around, he eagerly closed the door and said angrily to the prince: "Oh, prince, why did you get out of the palace." Didn't you send someone over to spread the word? ”

The prince put down the big fray, thinking of the sharp words of the eldest brother at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he was angry, frowned and said to Suo Etu: "Hmph, it's not to blame the eldest brother, if he didn't know about the Suzhou folk girl, I wouldn't have to come out to see you in the middle of the night!" ”

Suo Etu looked at the nephew and grandson in front of him, quite a bit iron-clad and steel-clad in the beginning, he had already beckoned the little eunuch away, but the prince actually came in person.

"What do you say this should be done?" The prince frowned, and couldn't help but ask.

Suo Etu had already thought about this matter carefully, the excerpt of the Suzhou prefect was given to him by the fourth elder brother himself, and the people who knew about this matter were not only the fourth elder brother, the prince and him, only the Suzhou prefect and the people's daughter, how did the eldest elder brother know about this matter? Isn't it

That thought made Suo Etu hesitate a little, and after a while, he whispered: "Not many people know about this matter, except for you and me, it is the fourth elder brother, and the prefect of Suzhou, as for the woman who was placed by you, others should not be able to find it, this matter is a little strange to be known by the eldest brother, is it the eldest brother told by the fourth elder brother?" ”

The crown prince immediately shook his head, "This is impossible, the fourth brother has always been loyal to me, how could he do such a thing to betray me." ”

But then the two glanced at each other again, and a rumor they had heard in the past flashed through Suo Etu's mind.

"But the prince, don't forget the rumors we heard in the Yueminglou Tea Garden that day, and the rumors clearly said that the world of the Qing Dynasty will belong to the fourth elder brother in the future." Suo Etu seemed to look at the prince with panic, "This matter would rather be believed than not!" ”

The prince remembered this rumor he had heard in the past, and he couldn't help but show surprise again.

To be honest, he didn't take it to heart when he first heard that rumor, but now the people who know about it do have no chance to contact the eldest brother except for the fourth elder brother and the prefect of Suzhou, who have the opportunity to reveal it.

The crown prince walked up to Suo Etu's side, his brows still furrowed, "Uncle, what do you say you should do about this!" The eldest brother said in front of Huang Ama today that the Suzhou prefect's letter was detained by you, and tomorrow morning, Huang Ama will deal with this matter! ”

Suo Etu looked at the prince, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and replied: "I see that this matter is pushed to the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother, so I said that this excerpt was deliberately sent to my house by the fourth elder brother, and I didn't have time to read this excerpt, and I didn't know the content of it, this is all the collusion between the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother to frame the prince." ”

This made the crown prince raise his eyebrows, and he glanced at Suo Etu uneasily, "Uncle, if this is found out by Huang Ama, then wouldn't we?"

"Don't worry, the emperor will definitely not find out, I have already sent someone to Suzhou to take care of the Suzhou prefect." Suo Etu sneered, he has been an official for many years, and he still has this means.

The prince hesitated for a moment, then nodded uneasily.

Seeing that the prince had the intention of agreeing, Suo Etu also relieved himself, so he opened the door and instructed the people outside: "Go and get a basin of hot water." ”

After speaking, he turned to look at the prince again, and said softly: "Prince, you can rest in the house tonight, and enter the palace early tomorrow morning." ”

The prince bowed slightly.

The next day, before dawn, the prince returned to Yuqing Palace early to prevent accidents.

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Wubeile Mansion, Wanyue was woken up by Yinqi again, Yinqi was busy with the early dynasty, and Wanyue had to get up and wait for Yinqi to dress.

Wanyue yawned while putting her clothes on Yinqi, and then the movement in the palace last night sounded in her mind, and she muttered: "I'm afraid the court will be lively today, the eldest brother and the prince made such a fuss last night, I'm afraid I don't know how many officials will be involved today."

Yinqi opened his eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and only said: "Yes, it is estimated that the ministers will have another war of words." You don't have to wait for me for lunch, it seems that I don't know when I will be able to return home. ”

After Yinqi left Xinuan Pavilion, Wanyue went back to bed and fell asleep.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the civil and military ministers and princes of the previous dynasty were all here, but they were all talking to each other timidly.

Until Liang's father-in-law's sharp voice sounded, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The civil and military ministers and princes of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly knelt down, and then shouted towards the throne on the Golden Palace: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After the emperor sat on the throne, his eyes swept over everyone, and then he said: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

After everyone got up, they shouted to the emperor again: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

After following the rules, he began to enter the main topic of today's court.

Before the emperor said the sentence 'There is a morning music, no book to retreat', the eldest brother at the bottom couldn't stand, and stood up with his hands arched, his expression was very firm.

"Huang Ama, the sons and daughters have something to do, and the prince robbed the people's daughters in Suzhou."

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all taken aback and looked at each other.

As soon as the eldest brother finished speaking, Suo Etu and Nalan Mingzhu glanced at each other angrily, and Suo Etu took two steps forward and stood up.

"Your Majesty, what the eldest brother played is really nothing, there is an excerpt sent by Suzhou in the old minister's mansion, but it was sent by the fourth elder brother, and the old minister has not had time to check the content of the excerpt." Suo Etu almost replied sharply, and glanced at the prince and the eldest brother next to him.

When the fourth elder brother heard Suo Etu mention himself, he felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would kindly send the secret letter from the Suzhou prefect to Suo Xiang's mansion, and he would be treated like this today.

The emperor sitting on the throne heard Suo Etu's words, and looked at the fourth elder brother in disbelief, "Fourth elder brother, is there such a thing?" ”

The fourth elder brother moved his steps, walked to the center of the main hall, and replied unhurriedly: "Back to Emperor Ama, Erchen was indeed entrusted by the prefect of Suzhou to send his excerpt to Suoxiang's mansion, and Erchen didn't know what the excerpt was about. ”

After the fourth elder brother finished speaking, Suo Etu took out the fold prepared in advance from his sleeve, and said to the emperor with a determined expression: "Your Majesty, this letter is the one sent by the fourth elder brother. ”

The emperor on the throne glanced at Duke Liang, and Duke Liang was cold-hearted, and came down to take the fold in Suo Etu's hand and sent it to the emperor.

After reading the excerpt, the emperor's expression was a little uncertain, and the battle of words between his prince and the courtiers was probably not so simple on the face, he threw the fold at the eldest brother, "This is what you said about the prince robbing the people's daughter, you take a good look at this excerpt." ”

The eldest brother was a little stunned when he heard this, and uneasily picked up the fold thrown beside him and looked at it, but he was very stunned, and then said what he knew in a hurry.

"This is obviously changed by them, Huang Ama, the Suzhou prefect has sent someone to be placed outside the palace, and the folk girl has also been placed in a house outside the palace by the prince."
