Five days later, Ji Shangshu entered the palace to plead guilty: "Weichen is incompetent, he failed to find out the real culprit of the assassination of Shizi, the rumors have slowly subsided, and it is really difficult to trace who is behind the scenes." ”

"Weichen is derelict in his responsibilities, and he is willing to accept the punishment, please ask the emperor to surrender."

Emperor Yongming was very angry and angrily reprimanded Ji Shangshu.

Ji Shangshu knelt on the ground, scolded for being bloody, and his face was as pale as dirt.

When Xu Jing and the prince entered the Fuyou Hall together, they saw such a scene.

Emperor Yongming lost his temper, the fat on his face kept shaking, and he was short of breath.

Seeing this, the prince immediately stepped forward and patted Emperor Yongming on the back, while whispering for Ji Shangshu: "Father is angry." These days, Ji Shangshu has been living in the official office, and in order to investigate the case, he has not even returned home. ”

"I beg my father to be lenient for a little longer."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still generous!

Ji Shangshu was grateful and moved in his heart, and kowtowed three times: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sympathetic to Weichen, and Weichen is becoming more and more ashamed. I beg the emperor to give him another period of grace. ”

Emperor Yongming snorted from his nose: "The bitter lord is here, you might as well ask the prince of Beihai first to see if he is willing." ”

As a six-department official of Zhengyipin, it doesn't hurt to kneel to the prince of heaven, but it is really inappropriate to kneel to the prince of a vassal king.

Ji Shangshu was a little hesitant in his heart.

Xu Jing had already taken the initiative to open his mouth: "The criminal department has worked hard to investigate the case, and this son knows it in his heart. The delay in finding the real culprit is not Ji Shangshu's fault, but that this real culprit is too insidious and cunning. ”

He bowed his hand to Emperor Yongming and said, "Please spare Ji Shangshu this time." ”

Even the bitter lord said this, and Emperor Yongming's face finally softened: "What Xu Jing said, Ji Shangshu heard it." Don't kneel, get up! ”

This prince of the North Sea is reasonable, and he is not at all as arrogant and domineering as the rumors say. There are many rumors, all of which are maliciously smearing the prince of Beihai.

Ji Shangshu's heart was like a mirror, he thanked the Son of Heaven for his grace first, and then thanked Xu Jing after getting up.

After Ji Shangshu retreated and left, Emperor Yongming sighed and said to Xu Jing: "You can also see it, it's not that I don't support you and make the decision." In fact, the Criminal Department is too useless, and it has been ten days, but no useful clues have been found. ”

Xu Jing sneered in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Every day is clear, there are always traces of what you have done." This real culprit behind the scenes will be exposed sooner or later. ”

Emperor Yongming sighed and glanced at Xu Jing: "Since someone is eyeing you, you might as well stay in the palace for a long time, don't leave the palace at will, and avoid encountering assassins again." ”

The prince's face changed slightly.

What does Father mean by this? Do you want to take the opportunity to keep Xu Jing under house arrest in the palace?

I heard Xu Jing open his mouth and say: "The emperor has a heart of love, and my nephew is grateful." However, if the nephew has been hiding in the palace and not going out, it is really inappropriate. The dignified royal family of the Jin Dynasty, the prince of the vassal king, will only dodge when something happens, and be a turtle with a shrunken head, won't he be laughed at? ”

"The Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and people live a breath. Not only could the nephew not be able to hide, but he also had to straighten his waist and enter and exit the palace gate calmly. Let those traitorous villains hiding in the shadows see my Xu Jing's guts! ”

Xu Jing was impassioned, but Emperor Yongming didn't want to say more, so he nodded slightly: "Okay, if you have such an idea, just let it be!" However, in the future, you should bring more personal soldiers when you go out. ”

The crown prince immediately said: "Father, my cousin has a lot of soldiers, but only twenty people have been brought into the palace. It's really a little less, so let's bring more! ”

Emperor Yongming glanced at the crown prince and said lightly: "The rules in the palace have always been like this. Even you, the crown prince, walk in the palace, and you will be accompanied by up to five or six guards. ”

"There are 30,000 Praetorian Guards guarding the palace, as long as you don't leave the palace gate, there will be no chaos."

The topic went back to that.

Xu Jing quietly glanced at the prince, and then said with a smile: "What the emperor said is true." The nephew lives in the palace and is safe and sound. It took half a month to return to the palace gate, and I wanted to go out and bring more personal soldiers. ”

After a cup of tea, Xu Jing retired.

Emperor Yongming left the crown prince behind, and he didn't know what to teach.

Xu Jing stepped out of the Fuyou Palace, and happened to meet the majestic Captain Murong head-on.

Murong Shen tugged at the corners of his mouth, arched his hand and said, "I heard that the Criminal Department has not been able to track down the real culprit of the assassination case. The last general was also worried about the son of the world. ”

"I don't know what kind of enemy the son of the world has formed, and he wants to kill the son of the world. The son of the world has to be careful. Don't be rash and lose your life. ”

Xu Jing teased his eyelids, and replied with a smile: "Captain Murong has leisure, so he should be his own errand, so he doesn't have to worry about this world." This son's life is very hard, whoever dares to kill this son, this son will let him die without a place to be buried. ”

After saying that, he swaggered away.

Murong Shen stared at Xu Jing's back, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Xu Jing suddenly turned around and made a humiliating gesture at Murong Shen.

It's ridiculously childish! Murong Shen's face turned blue with anger, and he snorted heavily in his heart.

……

Two more days passed, and at the end of the month, the day was closed.

A number of vassal princes have left the palace and returned to the palace, and Xu Jing is naturally no exception.

The stinky-mouthed prince of Xihe said to Xu Jing after walking out of the palace gate: "Cousin, you have to be more careful when you leave the palace this time." ”

Xu Jing replied with a smile: "I am blessed with a great life, but my cousin, the recent blackening of the Yin Hall is a bad omen." I was about to remind my cousin to stay in the palace and not to come out at will. ”

The Prince of the West River: "......"

The prince of Xihe raised his eyebrows and eyes, and he was about to attack.

The prince of Yingchuan immediately made peace with the old man, and opened his mouth to play a round game: "We are our own brothers, and now we are grasshoppers on a rope." We should work together with one heart and one mind. ”

The prince of Xihe sneered: "You are not right. The six of us are grasshoppers on a rope, but Xu Jing is not. People got on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince early, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took him with him wherever he went. We are swaying on the broken boat, and they are already on the dragon boat. ”

Xu Jing was half a head taller than the prince of Xihe, and glanced at the past with his height advantage: "What? Envy! It's a pity that envy is useless. Some people are naturally likable and are loved wherever they go. There are also people with hateful faces, irritable temperaments, and a foul mouth, which is hated by everyone. In a hurry to curry favor, no one paid attention. ”

The green tendons on the forehead of the prince of Xihe jumped, and he moved his hand without saying a word.

Xu Jing sneered, stretched out his hand to block a punch from the prince of Xihe, quickly kicked out of his leg, and kicked heavily on the left leg of the prince of Xihe. The prince of the king of Xihe was kicked and screamed.

The menacing prince of Xihe was beaten down before he could even make two moves.

A group of feudal princes: "......"
