CHAPTER XLIII
The water at the top of the mountain is steaming, the natural spring is steaming, and the view from the bottom of the mountain can be seen unobstructed.
Wen Jing stretched his muscles and leaned against the stone wall of the hot spring, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Jiang Xufeng took a sip of a small glass of plum wine, saw Wen Jing's appearance, and said with a smile: "If the crown princess likes it, Lone will give this villa to the crown princess." ”
Wen Jing opened his eyes in slight surprise when he heard this. Of course, she likes this mountain villa, although the area is not large, but it is the only hot spring mountain villa in the suburbs of Beijing. And there is not only one spring at the top of the mountain, but also two pavilions at the bottom of the mountain.
Back then, because of the competition for this villa, all the people in the capital who had some family background made a move, but they didn't expect that it would end up in the hands of Jiang Xufeng.
She wiped the moisture on her forehead and glanced at Jiang Xufeng: "Your Highness is willing?" ”
Jiang Xufeng's half of his body was numb when Wen Jing saw this, and he leaned over with his long arms: "For the crown princess, I am willing to do anything." ”
With Lan Qian and Zhu Zhan, who were also guarding, they glanced at each other silently and moved back quietly.
Jiang Xufeng and Wen Jing were happy in the hot spring villa, but Emperor Kande in the palace was anxious.
King Ning was confined to the palace, and the Zhao family of the Zhou family fought for him in the court, but no matter whether it was private salt and assassination, King Ning was at the expense of his faction, and there was no way back to be suppressed by the officials headed by Lord Song.
If Emperor Kant considered the case itself before, he wanted to punish King Ning as a warning and settle public grievances.
Now, his heart is full of anger that he was forced by the ministers, he is the emperor, and he wants to punish his son and ask others to dictate him.
Emperor Kant couldn't reprimand the minister, so he only swept to the empty seat on the left with a gloomy look.
The crown prince took leave two days ago, saying that he occasionally felt a cold and did not dare to go to court to damage his father's dragon body. The next day, after the imperial doctor went to the house to check the pulse, he took the princess to the outskirts of Beijing.
Kant Emperor couldn't find anyone if he wanted to catch someone.
On the fifth day of King Ning's grounding, rumors spread in the capital. Today, the emperor favors King Ning, and he refuses to punish such a serious case. The Son of Heaven should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and in the long run, where is the law of the country?
The rumors intensified, but within a few hours, they reached the ears of Emperor Kant, and he was so angry that he smashed a few teacups in a row.
The big eunuch hurriedly reported again: "Your Majesty, Lord Song and several adults from the Imperial Historical Observatory ask to see you." ”
On the seventh day, Lord Yushi Chang died on the Nine Dragons Pillar, and the death was on the spot, and the Manchu Dynasty was shocked and turbulent, just waiting for a word from Emperor Kant.
The only candle flame left in the room shook slightly, and Wen Jing turned over in her sleep.
"Your Highness, the news from the capital over there." Zhu Zhan stood outside, his voice extremely low.
Jiang Xufeng opened his eyes, as if he hadn't slept at all, and gently pulled the thin quilt that Wen Jing had slipped off his shoulder. He put on a robe and walked out.
Jiang Xufeng read the note in his hand and snorted lightly: "It's cheaper than that old thing." ”
Chang Yushi is also a person on weekdays, and no one has his integrity. In private, he is a sanctimonious thief, and I don't know how many girls and boys he has ruined. Once, the Chang family caught a girl who had escaped and was hit by the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
If Jiang Xufeng hadn't used him for now, he would have sent this old thing to prison a long time ago. After death, he can get a reputation for the country and the people, which can be regarded as Jiang Xufeng's noble hand.
The note was slowly burned out by the candle, and Zhu Zhan asked, "Your Highness, do you need to reply to the letter?" ”
"No, they know what to do." Jiang Xufeng took a sip of herbal tea and said, "This villa has already promised the crown princess, you remember to go back and take the title deed to the crown princess." ”
"Yes, the minions can be saved." Zhu Zhan glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression, which was quite ordinary. The hot spring villa is the private property of His Royal Highness, and at that time, in order to fight with the eldest princess of Guangping, it also cost a lot of money, which was given to the crown princess?
The death of the imperial history is not a trivial matter, such a thing has not happened in the three dynasties.
Emperor Kant's face was all lost, if he couldn't still bear it, I was afraid that he would faint on top of the early dynasty.
Zhou Daren, who was standing below, had an ugly face. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Lord Zhao, who also had a sad face and sweating on his forehead, and suddenly had a way out of the predicament in his heart.
In King Ning's mansion, King Ning looked at his grandfather in shock: "This ...... He is the father-in-law of this king, and this king still needs ...... The support of the Zhao family?! ”
"Your Highness! There's no way around it. Lord Zhou is also embarrassed, "The prince's party will definitely hold on to the imperial history, and the emperor will be forced to be anxious at that time...... It's uncontrollable. Now, the emperor is gone. ”
Lord Zhou has been in the court for many years and knows Emperor Kant too well. The mediocrity of this emperor is hidden in his bones, if he is like the previous emperor, it will not be the turn of King Ning to be equal to the prince.
And now, this 'mediocrity' has signs of exploding, and Lord Zhou can't predict what Emperor Kant will do next.
King Ning was still hesitating, and the Zhao family had done his best for himself over the years, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge like this......
"Your Highness, there is more than one person in the Zhao clan in the court, we will solve the problem in front of us first, and then compensate them." Lord Zhou has never been as disgusted with King Ning's mediocrity and indecisiveness as he is at this moment.
"The princess is still in the mansion, and the Zhao family has been completely tied to our boat. His Royal Highness doesn't make a decision at this time, does he want to give up the position of prince? ”
Lord Zhou's last sentence hit King Ning's Heavenly Spirit Cover directly.
"This king knows, please let my grandfather do it." King Ning closed his eyes, "The princess, this king will go to say it in person and ask her to go to the Zhao family." ”
Lord Zhou stroked his beard and left the Ning Wangfu satisfied.
At the end of July, the court that had been boiling for a month finally had a result, and Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, directly took off his hair and pleaded guilty in the court.
A crying and deeply remorseful play, admitting that the sale of illicit salt was a stupid thing committed by himself in the name of King Ning. Afraid that Han Er and his party would find out about themselves, they sent a killer to Jiangnan again.
To put it bluntly, he took all the blame on himself, and the account book that was not found also appeared in the study of Lord Zhao's house.
Lord Zhao was pushed to the end, and King Ning knelt in front of Taichen Palace and cried and begged for three days before Emperor Kant spared Lord Zhao's life.
For a while, the wind direction in the capital changed again, and the streets and alleys said that King Ning was benevolent and righteous. The father-in-law almost let himself take the blame, but he was still able to intercede for him. However, there are also those who have clear brains, Lord Zhao committed a serious crime, and in the end, he was not punished in any way......
In King Ning's mansion, Princess Ning Zhao Peiling cried again and again, her father was forced to sue the old man to keep her husband, and Zhao became a joke in the whole capital, where did she still have the face to go out to meet people.
King Ning came in from outside, and a moment of boredom in his eyes was hidden. He walked to Princess Ning's side and stroked Princess Ning's back: "What my father-in-law did for this king, this king always remembers it in his heart, and he will wait for the future...... Don't cry anymore, princess, watch your body. ”
Zhao Peiling raised her teary eyes, full of emotion, and threw herself into King Ning's arms: "Lord Wang! ”
