Chapter 151: The Wind Rises (1)
The prince of Chengyang died in such a daze.
The officials had different thoughts.
The son of a vassal king, if he dies, he dies, but it doesn't matter that much. What matters is the madness of the people behind this scene. If he dares to kill the prince of the vassal world today, will he dare to do it against the hundreds of officials in the court one day? It's like a beast that hides in the dark, and at some point it will come out and eat people.
The capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the officials are as noble as clouds, how can they tolerate such arrogant and wanton people.
Zhou Shangshu arched his hand with a calm expression: "The minister has a word, and he will not vomit or be unhappy." The prince of Chengyang died innocently in vain, and the court always had to give an explanation. Otherwise, when the bad news spreads out of the capital, the king of Chengyang will definitely not give up. ”
The royal heirs are difficult, and the king of Chengyang has only such an only son. Now that the prince of Chengyang is dying in the capital in a daze, how can the king of Chengyang give up?
Zhao Yuanren, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, also opened his mouth to speak: "The minister seconded the proposal." I implore the emperor to continue to track down the real culprit, and give an explanation to the prince of Chengyang under the Yellow Spring, and also to the king of Chengyang. ”
In short, it can't be this kind of bluffing!
The singer is the mastermind, and the boatload of people is the accomplice...... The devil believes this.
Emperor Yongming frowned, and his gaze drifted to Ji Shangshu's head of the Criminal Department again.
Ji Shangshu secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and sure enough, the voice of the Son of Heaven came into his ears the next moment: "The soldiers and horses are all waste, and the real murderer can't be found." This murder case should be handed over to the Criminal Department! ”
Wu Anbo, who was scolded for being a waste, cooperated very well to show an innocent face of "the minister really did his best".
Ji Shangshu was so disgusted that he almost vomited, and he wanted to struggle: "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department is still investigating the assassination of the prince of Beihai, and I don't have a clue for the time being." Take over this murder case again......"
"There is a lot in common between these two cases." Emperor Yongming said: "Just combine the two into one, and investigate the case together." ”
Ji Shangshu had to give up his life.
Wu Anbo, who was shameless, still had his face open his mouth: "Ji Shangshu, after the court, I will have people send the file and the dozen or so corpses to the Criminal Department." ”
Ji Shangshu should uphold the civil and official temperament and respond with a straight face.
Wu Anbo doesn't care about Ji Shangshu's stinky face. To be able to throw this hot potato out, Amitabha Buddha thanked God.
However, next, Wu Anbo didn't have a good life.
Two assassinations in succession occurred in Nancheng, which was under his jurisdiction. This made him have to suspect that he was in trouble this year. While strictly ordering the soldiers to patrol at night, he quietly went to the most famous Puji Temple in the capital and invited a talisman for a high monk to open the light.
……
The prince of Pengcheng really stayed in the palace for a long time and no longer left the palace.
The prince of Pyeongchang, the king of Hanyang, was not bold, and after private discussion, he decided to stay in the palace for a long time.
House arrest is house arrest, and it's better than losing your life.
The prince of Xihe, the prince of Yingchuan, did not eat this set and left the palace as usual. However, the number of pro-soldiers tripled.
As soon as Xu Jing left the palace, he also brought his own soldiers.
The prince privately sent a piece of gold silk soft armor to Xu Jing: "This gold silk soft armor is invulnerable and can prevent hidden arrows." There are only two in the palace, one for my father, and one for me. ”
Xu Jing refused to ask: "My cousin keeps it for himself, I am good at it and am not afraid of dark arrows." ”
The prince was very insistent and insisted on letting Xu Jing put it on: "You put it on." I've been in the palace all day, and I'm safe. You are often out of the palace, and those assassins who are hiding in the shadows have already set their sights on you, and they may kill you again at any time. This golden silk soft armor may be able to save your life at some point. ”
There are some things that the prince can't say and can't say.
This wicked man who dares to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven will never be an ordinary person, maybe he is someone next to the emperor...... No matter what, he, the crown prince, will be fine. Xu Jing had to be extra cautious.
Xu Jing and the prince glanced at each other, but they couldn't resist the prince's insistence, and put on the golden silk soft armor: "Thank you, cousin." ”
Only then did the prince show his face, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Jing's shoulder, and instructed again: "Remember, don't take it off after putting it on." Be careful when entering and exiting, and bring more personal soldiers. Also, pay more attention to everything that is entered. ”
Xu Jing had mixed feelings in his heart, and nodded in response.
……
After Xu Jing left the palace, he went to Zhao's mansion first.
The Sun family was not old-fashioned, and Xu Jing entered Zhao Xiyan's courtyard, and only sent a maid over to supervise one or two meaningfully.
Xu Jing told Zhao Xiyan about the golden silk soft armor: "...... Sister Crescent Moon, I used to look down on the prince's cousin. He's actually very smart and knows everything in his heart. ”
He knew that the emperor had no good intentions when he summoned the princes of the vassal kingdoms to study in the palace. He also guessed that this wicked person who assassinated us and others was the person next to the emperor. The Criminal Department has been investigating for a hundred years, but it can't find out why. ”
"He gave me gold silk soft armor today, and he didn't avoid the attendants around him. It's a sign of attitude to defend me. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Jing let out a long sigh, reached out to grab Zhao Xiyan's shoulder, and leaned his head over: "The better my cousin treats me, the more complicated and uncomfortable my heart is. ”
Every time I saw the prince's sick face, I thought that the prince's life was short, and there was only about a year left to live, and my heart was like being pressed by a boulder, heavy and uncomfortable.
Zhao Xiyan stretched out his hand to caress Xu Jing's face, and comforted him softly: "This is his fate, you and I can't do anything, and we can't do anything." You don't have to feel guilty about yourself. ”
Xu Jing snorted sullenly, and quickly cheered up and said, "You can't go out these days, you must be stuffy." I have a whole day to spare, and I'm not going anywhere today, so I'm here with you. ”
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled.
Xu Jing's heart was so moved that he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the lips.
The flush immediately covered Zhao Xiyan's cheeks, as delicate as a peach blossom.
Xu Jing was about to continue, when Xu San's hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Shizi, the little one has something important to report." ”
Xu Jing's brows moved.
Xu Erwu jumped out of the way, Xu Shiyi was honest, and Xu San was the most cold and steady. Today, he suddenly shouted regardless of it, and something must have happened.
Zhao Xiyan pushed Xu Jing away with a red face, and said calmly: "Let Xu San come in!" ”
Xu Jing raised his voice and said, "Come in." ”
Xu San hurriedly pushed the door in, lowered his head and didn't look at the red faces of the master and the future princess, and quickly whispered: "The little one just received the news that the news of the death of the prince of Chengyang has reached the domain. Princess Chengyang was sad and committed suicide with white silk. ”
Xu Jing was startled and glanced at Zhao Xiyan.
The domain of the king of Chengyang is the closest to the capital, and the fast horse sends the message urgently, and it takes exactly half a month to come and go.
There is even more shocking news behind: "As soon as Princess Chengyang died, King Chengyang was so sad and angry that he wrote a letter and raised the flag to rebel." ”
