Section 4: Post-Incident Handling

When Di Wang Ye opened his eyes, it was already dawn, looking at the familiar environment, candle flames, window curtains, tables and chairs, ......, quiet, there was no sound, not even the wind and birds chirped, last night's events were like a dream, which made Di Wang Ye a little shaky.

He didn't get up in a hurry, but remembered everything that happened last night and sighed. I was thinking about the approximate results of last night's encirclement and suppression, how to stabilize the situation in the DPRK, how to reduce the impact of this matter, and so on. About a quarter of an hour later, "Someone, change clothes" shouted out the door. The servant immediately responded: "Yes", and waited skillfully and carefully for the prince to wash and change clothes, not daring to make any superfluous movements and sounds.

Prince Di didn't have breakfast, and walked directly to the front hall, which was a living room of about 300 square meters, with a heavy mahogany long table in the middle of the door, a velvet brocade tablecloth, and two jade lions on it. Behind the table is a high-backed, wide, mahogany chair with an intricately carved face. The back and top of the chair are hung with the plaque of "Han Hong Guang", and under the plaque is the landscape painting made by celebrities, the brush is strong and quite imposing. In front of the long table, there are five brown carved wooden chairs on each side, and the carpets, shelves, and other applications are complete but not complicated. There is a door at the back right of the living room, which leads to Prince Di's study.

After Prince Di came to the hall and sat down, he ordered: "Call the four lords to come." ”

"People are already outside the door, waiting for the prince, for a while, I will invite them over." Steward Wang said. The king's housekeeper is in his fifties, a eunuch, who has been waiting for the prince for many years, and was brought from the palace.

The four of them came to the hall, stood on the left and right, and knelt down on one knee and said, "See the prince."

"No courtesy, sit" Prince Di said, looking at the four people, seeing that none of the four were injured, neatly dressed, presumably after the encirclement and suppression had been over for a long time, and they had been washed and tidied up. At this time, the servant came up with tea, put tea for each person, and then went down. According to the rules of the palace, servants could not serve in the antechamber, study, bedroom, etc., but could only wait outside. One is to avoid too many people, and the other is that the prince likes to be quiet and annoying and disturbs people.

"The result?" The prince asked.

"Back to the prince, there are about 370 people in the prince's mansion, about 350 people are hanged, and more than 20 people are missing." Qin Long replied.

"More than 20 people" Prince Di pondered silently, and then asked, "Have the bodies of the main people been found?" ”

"Steward Wei's body has not been found, and no matter how Qingyue and the little princess have been found, the three of them should have run away." Jiang Bao said, a little resentful, thinking, "If the prince hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have taken the opportunity to whip him a few more times, and I would have let him run away?!" ”

The prince rubbed the hand of the teacup, he was not surprised that Steward Wei escaped, but he was surprised that Qingyue and the little princess were gone. I thought to myself, "The child must be with Qingyue, if it is in the hands of Steward Wei, he will definitely come to me." So many people are chasing and killing, and you can still escape with a child! Where will it go? Qingyue, child, this is really providential! I couldn't help but smile and breathe a sigh of relief. And he asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure, I've looked at the bodies several times." Liu Xiong said humbly.

"Oh" Prince Di explained: "The prince's mansion was destroyed by bandits, the prince and the princess were unfortunately killed, the two were buried together in the imperial mausoleum, buried according to the prince's specifications, and all the valuable utensils of the prince's mansion were buried as burial items, and no one was allowed to hide them privately." Let's burn the rest of the corpses along with the Prince's Mansion. ”

"The one who ran away-" Before Qin Long finished speaking, he was grabbed by Dong Hu next to him, making his eyes stop. I thought to myself, "Thousands of people surrounded and suppressed hundreds of people, and more than 20 people ran away, the prince should be glad that he didn't pursue it, why did he mention this matter, is there something wrong with his brain!" ”

Prince Di looked at the two of them, knowing their respective thoughts, and said, "As for the people who fled, they searched secretly and did not make a noise, and if anyone asked about Princess Maya, they would say that they did not know." It is strictly forbidden for anyone to talk about the Prince's Mansion last night, and if anyone talks about it in vain, it will be punished as slandering the royal family. ”

Prince Di took a sip of tea, and then said: "Send more people, be sure to find Qingyue and the princess, don't hurt by mistake, you can use some means appropriately." ”

After all the explanations were completed, he raised his eyes and looked at the four people in turn, and ordered: "Liu Xiong, you go to deal with the matter of the corpse in the Prince's Mansion, and then explain that the people who participated in the operation yesterday shut up." Jiang Bao went to deal with the funeral of the crown prince and the crown princess. Qin Long went to find Qingyue and the princess. Dong Hu went to the account room to take out 10,000 taels of silver, and distributed it to the people who participated in the operation last night according to their positions and casualties, and then arranged for officials above the fourth grade to go to the palace at two o'clock in the afternoon to discuss matters, and then made a list of gifts for King Di'an. ”

The four got up and said, "Yes."

"You know what I want, go get done!" Prince Di said.

After the four of them left, Prince Di also left the front hall.
