Chapter 34 was caught off guard
As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and their joys and sorrows are naturally different.
Living in this mansion, Pei Yao is safe here, but the eldest prince is making trouble.
"Your Royal Highness, the old minister is such a grandson, the only seedling of the Jiang family, if something happens to him, the old minister, how can the old minister explain to the ancestors and ancestors!"
Marquis Changyu, whose hair was already white, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the eldest prince, crying bitterly.
Although he is the uncle and grandfather of the eldest prince, there is actually no affection between the two at all.
Even this is the first time we have met.
And in the sense of accuracy, he still has to be separated by one floor, called his cousin and grandfather.
But in the face of this elder whom he had never met, the eldest prince couldn't ignore it, and he could only reluctantly appease him at this time.
"You get up first, this matter is in front of the prince, and I can't help it, you let me think about it."
However, the plan he gave, Chang Yuhou was not satisfied, and cried again.
"But Your Highness, the prince has already ordered someone to put Xuan'er in the yamen prison, and now the heat is unbearable, how can Xuan'er stay in that kind of pickled place, so I beg His Highness to do well, rescue him from prison first, and the old minister will immediately go to the door to apologize to His Royal Highness the prince and that Fang Liangdi!"
The eldest prince is not a patient person, especially the Jiang family, who has no affection for this at all, so his face sank.
"Although Master Hou said that he stayed away from officialdom, didn't he understand this rule and etiquette? Who is the prince, who you can meet if you want to? also came to the door to apologize, he was already merciful that he didn't kill Jiang Shixuan directly at that time! ”
Such a tone is not good, Marquis Changyu is not a fool, hearing the impatience of the eldest prince, he immediately put away his tears and did not dare to say anything more.
Seeing that he was still quite interesting, the eldest prince restrained his temper a little.
"Okay, it's not early, you go back first, I'll naturally think of saving people."
Marquis Changyu stood up tremblingly and gave the eldest prince a salute.
"His Royal Highness Xie came to the rescue, and his Royal Highness was troubled for his next trip, these things are a little bit of the minister's heart, and please accept them."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his bosom and handed it over.
The eldest prince glanced at it, and his face softened.
"Master Hou, don't worry, the prince is also my cousin, so he will naturally do his best."
Hearing the change in the tone of the eldest prince, Marquis Changyu's old face, which was still in tears, pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and hurriedly saluted before being led down by the eunuch.
After he left, the eldest prince opened the wooden box, and saw a thick pile of silver tickets inside.
With a look, the minion next to him immediately stepped forward and counted.
"Back to Your Highness, the silver ticket has a total of 50,000 taels."
"Fifty thousand taels?" The eldest prince narrowed his eyes, "The Jiang family is willing to give up the silver, and there is really silver." ”
The eunuch who counted the silver tickets did not speak, and after a while, the eldest prince said lightly.
"I'll go to Qian Zhizhou's mansion tomorrow, but this cousin still has to take care of one or two."
"The minions obey."
The eunuch gave up his hand and retreated silently.
The next day, the deer feasted.
The eldest prince who got up early was refreshed.
According to the previous plan, Pei Yao would be a puppet, dangling in front of the students, and then sitting on the high platform, and then he would take the ministers to meet the students.
This is a good opportunity for him to show his face and establish a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness, and to aspire to the image of a virtuous person.
Thinking so in my heart, the affairs of the Jiang family last night were put aside for the time being, and I used two more bowls for breakfast.
It's just that he just arrived at the manor where the Luming banquet was held, and after seeing Pei Yao, people couldn't laugh.
In the side hall of the manor, Pei Yao sat on the main seat with a solemn face.
Standing on his left hand side was Qian Jiangbai, the governor of Zhongzhou, and on the other side were several ministers from Kyoto.
As soon as the eldest prince came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
Busy to his subordinates, Wenhuadian University scholar Wei Changsong gave a look.
The latter understood, and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"His Royal Highness has come down, today Lord Qian has reported something about the Jiang family of the Marquis of Changyu, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discussing it with his ministers and other ministers."
As soon as he heard that it was about the Jiang family, the eldest prince thought that it was Jiang Shixuan's collision with Pei Yao and Fang Yu, so his expression immediately relaxed by two points.
After all, he was prepared, and he had already figured out how to deal with it.
So this time he looked at Pei Yao and arched his hand.
"Yesterday, the prince of Changyu Hou Shizi collided with the imperial brother and Fang Liangdi, the younger brother already knows, this Jiang Shixuan is indeed too unreasonable, he dares to do such a presumptuous thing, he must teach him a lesson!"
After he finished speaking, Wei Changsong frowned, and was about to make a reminder.
However, Pei Yao opened his mouth first and said with an embarrassed look.
"But in the end, that Changyu Marquis is the uncle of his father, your uncle and grandfather, that is also Lone's uncle and grandfather, and the son is also Lone's younger brother, how can Lone be punished heavily, but if he is not punished, there will be such a big trouble in the restaurant yesterday, and this royal family..."
He seemed to have a hard time making a decision.
The eldest prince immediately made a righteous appearance of killing his relatives, and he arched his hand.
"Brother Huang, the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, although this Jiang Shixuan did not hurt anyone, but he despised the royal family, was overbearing, and could not be controlled, and should indeed be punished according to the law!"
Don't look at the scary list of crimes of the eldest prince, in fact, if you take it out, it's all insignificant.
Really according to the rules, that is, a meal of board greetings.
It can be described as thunder and rain.
However, since Pei Yao took it out and said it, he naturally dug a pit and waited for him to jump, so when he finished speaking, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"A good son of heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and his brother only cares about family affection and forgets the law, so this Jiang family really wants to investigate and deal with it according to the law of Daqi, Zecheng, this matter will be handed over to you."
The eldest prince didn't understand a little when he heard it, why did he have to investigate the Jiang family for the crime of collision?
He realized that something was wrong.
But when he cast an inquiring glance at the staff, Pei Yao, who was on the top, had already spoken again.
"Last night, Jiang Shixuan collided with Gu in the restaurant, that arrogant and arrogant attitude, Gu felt that he must have bullied a lot of good people every day, but because of the Luming banquet today, he didn't check it carefully, but early this morning, Qian Zhizhou handed this fold to Gu's hands, and the piles and piles are all the sins committed by the Jiang family in Zhongzhou and even Jiangnan over the years!"
As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince was completely stunned, which completely caught him off guard.
He didn't expect Pei Yao to suddenly attack the Jiang family, obviously the Jiang family was just an idle aristocrat with no real power.
But not only did Pei Yao do it, but what did he say just now, let him investigate?
When the eldest prince was brainstorming, Pei Yao's men made another effort.
"This Jiang family is really unreasonable, relying on the emperor's favor, doing nonsense, all kinds of crimes, it is difficult to write, it is really a crime that cannot be punished!"
