Chapter 164: Cutting his wrists and killing himself
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chengjing, the eldest prince and others were a little relieved.
The effect is about the same, they think you want to lift the roof, but they just want to open the window, so they think it's more acceptable.
Of course, this was only a momentary effect, and soon, the eldest prince felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Although he did not do much practical work this time to go north for disaster relief, most of the credit was handled by the second prince after he came, but the credit on the face is all his.
Moreover, over the years, the second prince has been unknown, and there is a turtle with a stuffy head.
Why did you bring the second prince with him when he was crowned king?
always felt like the second prince was following him.
In this regard, Emperor Chengjing pondered in his heart, and he was also a little reluctant.
Chen Guifei is not favored, her temperament is boring, the second prince is also a stuffy gourd since he was a child, the father and son really have no feelings over the years, and it is estimated that Emperor Chengjing and the five princes who were born not long ago have a deep relationship.
In this way, Emperor Chengjing also felt that the second prince had no merit and was not worthy of being crowned.
But no matter how stupid Emperor Chengjing is, he knows that Pei Yao is not a person who speaks casually, so he estimates that if he doesn't seal the second prince together, I'm afraid Pei Yao will have other moths.
Moreover, Emperor Chengjing is indeed good-looking, and he is criticized by the world for being eccentric, but it is not good to listen to or good-looking.
Thinking about it like this, it's not impossible to seal the second prince in a row.
In the end, his own son is not an outsider, and besides, the second prince's stuffy appearance may not pose any threat to the eldest prince.
However, before Emperor Chengjing could speak, the second prince stood up first and waved his hand in fear.
"The prince's kindness, my younger brother understands it, but my younger brother is just helping the eldest brother to go north this time, and he just fights left and right, he really didn't do anything, and he didn't dare to be crowned by his father, and his sons."
"Really?" Pei Yao turned his head to look at him, and said suspiciously, "But as far as Gu knows, after you arrived in the Northland, the second brother helped the victims of the disaster by himself, personally giving food and porridge to the victims every day, and also paid out of his own pocket to treat the widows and lonely people." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest prince's complexion suddenly changed, and Emperor Chengjing also showed a strange look on his face.
Not for anything else, because these things are all written by the eldest prince in the fold handed to Emperor Chengjing, his own credit.
Needless to say, this is the credit of the eldest prince to the second prince.
Without waiting for others to react, Pei Yao took out a fold from his arms and a folded cloth.
"Uncle Huang, please see, this letter was just handed over by the ministers before entering the palace today, and this letter of the people was jointly submitted by the people in the disaster area to thank the second prince for his disaster relief."
After that, he offered the two things with both hands.
At this moment, the eldest prince's face turned green.
He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Pei Yao to put him together at this time, and slap him in the face in front of Emperor Chengjing!
If outsiders know about his credits, most of them are taking the merits of the second prince as their own, then he will be despised by many people.
And at this time, Emperor Chengjing looked at the face of the eldest prince, and there was nothing he didn't understand.
The heart also sank a little, but he still had to maintain a gentle appearance on the side, so the whole person was indescribably weird.
The thing was delivered to Emperor Chengjing's hand, and after a brief look, Emperor Chengjing's eyes became a little colder, and he was faintly angry.
It's a lie to say that you are not angry.
This is like his own kiss and good son has made a great contribution, and he is also proud and proud, and when he raises his eyebrows, he is debunked in front of him, and half of the credit of your eldest son is water.
Emperor Chengjing also felt that his face was dull and shameful!
Fortunately, this robbery is the credit of the second prince, and it is also his own son, so it is not a shame to throw it home, otherwise Emperor Chengjing would be even more annoyed.
The meritorious opportunity to hand over to the door was also stirred up by the eldest prince himself, which will make people feel that the mud can't support the wall.
But there is anger in his heart, and Emperor Chengjing still defends the eldest prince after all.
So after reading these things handed over by Pei Yao, he just sighed with relief and looked at the second prince.
"Zeyi, you kid is really, you have done so many things, why don't you say a word to your father, you have such a temperament, you will always suffer, if your father misses your reward, won't he wronged you!"
Seeing this, the eldest prince hurriedly followed, "It's all the sons and daughters who are not good, I haven't seen my father for many days, I only care about talking to my father, and I forgot to report the merits of the second brother. ”
The speed at which he changed his face was also unparalleled.
Anyway, the father and son made a show all the way.
The second prince was ashamed at the moment and said, "The son thinks that these are all things, so he is unwilling to ask his father for credit." ”
"Uncle Huang, Zecheng and Zeyi are brothers in harmony, and they work together to do things for the people, which is a good blessing for our Daqi, and it is also a blessing for you, Uncle Huang." Pei Yao smiled and answered.
This can be regarded as completely tying the eldest prince and the second prince together.
If you want to reward one and leave the other, you can't do it, after all, if you do that, the fig leaf of the great prince will be easier to be torn off.
So Emperor Chengjing immediately nodded.
"Well, the prince is reasonable, the two of you are not small, so take this opportunity to seal the title of prince together, pass the order, and the Ministry of Rites will choose an auspicious day, choose the title, and accept the title together."
"Son, thank you, Emperor Longen!"
The two brothers said in unison.
After coming out of the imperial study, the eldest prince's face was not good.
didn't say hello to Pei Yao, said a few words to Prime Minister Li and went to the harem, he went to ask Queen Li for peace, the mother and son haven't seen each other for many days.
Pei Yao didn't stay in the palace for long, and after coming out, he got into the carriage and left.
About half an hour later, in a hidden small teahouse on the outskirts of Beijing, Pei Yao's carriage and the carriage of the second prince met here.
The two of them went straight to the private room on the second floor from the small hidden door.
Here, I don't know what we were talking about, but something happened in the East Palace at that time.
Yan Wei came in from outside, and frowned and said, "Liangdi, there was a commotion over there in Jinxiufang, saying that He Liangdi cut her wrists and committed suicide, and when she was found by the maids, a lot of blood had already flowed, and the two big maids beside her asked the imperial doctor to come out, and the mother-in-law and eunuch who guarded the door had a fight!" ”
Before, Pei Yao issued an edict, saying that after He Liangdi was grounded, she could not come out without an edict, and all the subordinates in her courtyard were also like this.
That's why this happens.
Fang Yu's face sank when he heard this, "How can you kill yourself, I don't look at the He family like a person who would do such a thing, could it be that there are too many grievances during this time, and I am arrogant, and I can't stand it?" ”
After all, the punishment is indeed not light, and there is a big gap in my heart, and I can't think about it for a while.
"The slave and maid don't know, I heard that the person is still unconscious, and the princess has already sent someone." Yan Wei said.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, "Keep staring, Your Highness didn't speak, we don't have to join in the excitement." ”
Hearing this, Yan nodded slightly, owed a debt, and retreated.
And an hour and a half later, Pei Yao returned home, and when he heard about it, his face sank, and he still walked to Jinxiufang.
At that time, He Liangdi had been rescued by the imperial doctor, but because of blood loss and depression for many days, the whole person looked very haggard and withered, which was completely different from the bright and flamboyant person in the past.
At this moment, when he saw Pei Yao, he struggled to get up from the couch, but because of the weakness of his legs and feet, he fell directly from the couch.
But even so, she still had red eyes full of anticipation, looked at Pei Yao first, and choked up.
"Your Highness, you are finally here, and the concubine thought that she would never see you again!"
