Xuan Zheng endured the anger in his heart, thinking about how to punish King Rui, if he allowed King Rui to continue, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not rebel in the future, forcing the palace to force him to abdicate.

He looked at Liwang and Xuan Wenguang again, Xuan Wenguang could not ascend to the throne because of his maternal family and background, King Rui fell, who would check and balance Liwang?

Just thinking about it, the little eunuch outside the door came in and said that it was King Heng waiting at the door.

Heng Wang ...... But he forgot about this son, and immediately commanded that people should come in: "Declare him in." ”

The seventh prince Xuan Wenheng has always been chubby in his heart, and he is also closer to him than the rest of the princes, and he looks a lot thinner and taller today. It is said that he was very good at smoking strips when he was a teenager, he is getting older, and he used to be a fat boy, but now he looks a little handsome as a young man.

The eyes are bright, the lips are red and the teeth are white, the complexion is ruddy, and it is full of the vitality of a teenager.

glanced at Liwang who was standing on the side, his face was gray, his eyes were sunken, the corners of his mouth were pulled down, his shoulders were bent and his back was bent, and he looked too busy and sleepless.

"Xiao Qi is here, what's the matter?" Xuan Zheng glanced at Li Youcai, and Li Youcai immediately ordered the eunuchs to move over the chairs and let the Liwang, Xuan Wenguang and Guan Di, who were waiting on the side, sit down.

"Back to my father's words, my son tasted the pastries of Shunren Palace today, which were very delicious, so I thought of sending some to my father."

Xuan Wenheng respectfully placed a box of pastries in front of Xuan Zheng.

"You still have a heart!"

Xuan Wenheng's coming this time was not abrupt, in the past, he encountered anything delicious, and he would also send it to Xuan Zheng, and the father and son would chat affectionately for a while, in the past, Xuan Wenheng was young, and he liked to sit beside him and rub his arm and pinch his hand.

Xuan Zheng's gaze softened a little, and he remembered that Concubine Shunren had lost her two sons, Xuan Yan and Xuan Ming, and she must have been filled with grief: "Li Youcai, tell the imperial doctor to stay near Shunren Palace, if the concubine is uncomfortable, immediately order someone to take a look." ”

When he was young, his mother was also very good to him.

"Yes, the old slave will arrange it."

Xuan Wenheng looked at Liwang, Xuan Wenguang and Guan Di, knowing that they had something to discuss, opened the pastry box, and then put the fold on the table: "Father, this is the son's opinion on the salt administration, the father is busy and has to take care of himself, and the son-in-law retired first." ”

In recent years, salt dealers have become more and more rampant, and the common people have secretly bought illicit salt, but the official salt cannot be sold.

Xuan Zheng picked up the fold and glanced at it, and suddenly became interested, but he didn't expect Xuan Wenheng to have some opinions. In this way, among these sons, the king of Heng can balance the king.

He folded the folds, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What if someone hides a private soldier?" ”

Xuan Wenheng said seriously: "According to the laws of Northern Chu, raising troops privately, with bad intentions, and delusional rebellion, is a great crime of stealing the family and destroying the clan. ”

"What if that person is close to you?"

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and my father still remembers that King Yong of the previous dynasty secretly hid three pairs of armor and blades, and was given wine by the first emperor."

Xuan Zheng nodded, his imperial brothers rarely came to the capital except for Xuan Ming, he remembered those memories of the past, the first emperor had many sons, and he would kill them if he said he would kill them, but he didn't have so many sons under his knees.

"I know, you go down first."

Xuan Wenheng bowed and retired.

Xuan Wenguang and Guan Di were still waiting for how to deal with it, and Xuan Zheng said ruthlessly: "King Rui is difficult to set an example for all the people, he will be demoted to a concubine, and exiled to the southwest border!" ”

"Private soldiers, private soldiers, private money, all confiscated!"

Xuan Wenheng's arrival gave him a wake-up call, he repeatedly retreated and forbeared, but his son did not appreciate it, if he was not severely punished this time, the rest of his sons would begin to follow suit, and sooner or later there would be chaos in Northern Chu.

"Put Concubine Wan into the cold palace, copy Buddhist scriptures every day to pray for the people, no one is allowed to visit!"

"Huai Ye, immediately copy the Rui Wang's Mansion!"

……

King Rui was shocked when he heard this decree in his palace.

He looked at his broken finger, and there were no healing wounds on his body: "How can this be? ”

His bitter tricks have always been very effective, when he was a child, he fought with the imperial brothers, and several people went to reason in front of his father, as long as he rolled his eyes and lay on the ground, even if he was the one who stirred up trouble, he would not be punished. And the last coal mine explosion, he was seriously injured, and his father naturally did not suspect him.

Why doesn't this bitter ploy work now?

"Lord Wang, I heard that the second prince arrested Wei Nan, and the prince's private messages and hidden private soldiers were also discovered by Lord Guan and Lord Liang!"

After King Rui listened to the guard's words, his head buzzed, Xuan Wenguang arrested Wei Nan? No wonder I didn't go back to the capital with them.

Xuan Ming ...... On the night of passing through the Black Wind Village, the guards reported that they didn't see the Princess of Hades and Song Qinglan, could it be that Xuan Ming had already seen his plan and planned it?

King Rui dropped the teacup, rushed out and grabbed Li Youcai's sleeve: "Gonggong Li, this king wants to see his father!" Xuan Ming is not dead, all of this is his design of this king! ”

"Also, Guan Di and Liang Xian are in a gang with him, and they join forces to deceive their father!"

Li Youcai waved his sleeves: "Your Majesty said, he doesn't want to see you!" ”

King Rui's eyes were scarlet, and he pulled out his long sword from the guard's waist and put it on his neck: "Let this king see his father, otherwise, this king will die in front of you!" ”

Li Youcai secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, he was here to deliver the decree, but what happened to the dignified prince dying in front of himself? !

King Rui looked at him sideways, and there was a red mark on his neck that had been cut by the sword.

"The old slave is a herald, don't embarrass the old slave......"

With a "bang", the sword in King Rui's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and several people looked back to see that it was Huai Ye who came with the forbidden army.

As soon as Huai Ye walked to the door, he saw King Rui forced to die, picked up a stone from the ground and hit his wrist, this time King Rui not only broke his little finger, but even his wrist was broken, and he couldn't use any strength, so he bent over and squatted on the ground in pain, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh, Commander Huai, you're here!" Li Youcai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly slipped away with someone.

Huai Ye's expression was serious, and his subordinates were also well versed in the way of copying the family, and they had no fear in the face of the once invincible prince, and kicked the minions who were in the way with a cold face.

Huai Ye took off King Rui's brocade clothes and threw them aside, putting shackles around his neck and hands. The forbidden soldiers searched a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, knives, guns and gunpowder from the study, bedroom, and basement.
