Beating people at the gate of the county ya, Zhang Yuan asked his subordinates to beat the gong and shout, and when the surrounding people formed a circle, Zhang Yuan began to explain the reason, "This person instigated others to make trouble in the field, and I was caught red-handed, and the county lord ordered him to be given five boards as a punishment, beat!" ”

The twenty-fifth group saw the board fall, the whole person tensed, and when he was about to reach the back buttocks, he was ready to scream.

The first board came down, and he did call out.

It's just that when he screamed, the person who beat him looked very embarrassed, and the pressure on his hands was not strong.

The one who did it looked around, and at the same time thought to himself that this person was acting like a real person, so he should use a little bit of force, lest he call it too fake.

The back four boards were beaten down, and the buttocks were really swollen, and this one also complained about Ma Lishan, if he hadn't listened to his bullshit, he wouldn't have to lose face in front of so many people.

At this time, it was in the palace more than 2,000 miles away from Liangzhou.

The prince made an exception on the twelfth day to visit his biological mother, Concubine Xiao, in the inner palace.

"Although tomorrow is not your first time going to court, you must be careful not to say anything radical." Concubine Xiao Guifei said, "The recent situation is really unfavorable to you, the emperor made an exception to let the three princes go to the court in advance, which is obviously to suppress you." ”

The prince held a tea cup in his hand, but he didn't have the heart to drink it, "The third brother is only eleven years old this year, and it is too obvious that the father and the emperor favor the third brother. ”

"The more the emperor is like this, the more you have to prove that you are much better than that idiot."

The prince put down the teacup and frowned: "Mother, he is the son of his father, you are so jealous that if someone hears it and reaches the ears of your father, what does your father think of you?" ”

"I don't dare anyone in the palace to talk too much."

"The mother is too confident." The crown prince looked at the people standing all over the palace, "People's loyalty is the least credible. ”

"Well, the concubine will pay attention in the future."

"The mother concubine can't pay attention to herself, you must warn your uncle, and the Xiao family must also be restrained."

Concubine Xiao sighed, "In the past three months, the Xiao family has been very restrained, and your uncle has restrained the sons and nephews in the family and not let them go out at all." ”

"What the mother said was told by your uncle?" The prince asked.

"Nature."

"What my uncle said is not necessarily true." Seeing that his mother had something to say, the prince followed closely: "There are many people in the Xiao Mansion, even if my uncle has the heart to restrain him, it is inevitable that there will be yin and yang violations." The concubine just brought my words to my uncle and asked him to be sure to control the juniors of the Xiao family. ”

"You are now discussing matters in the court, why don't you tell your uncle directly."

"Mother thinks my uncle will listen to me?" The crown prince frowned, "Now that I have fallen into such a situation, it is my mother and uncle who do not listen to me at all." ”

Concubine Xiao immediately shirked responsibility, "Your father's change of heart, what does it have to do with me and the Xiao family?" ”

"Why isn't it related, does the mother think I don't know anything?" The crown prince stood up and approached Concubine Xiao slightly, "What's the matter with those killers who broke into the Meng family?" Whose handiwork? ”

"Hongu doesn't know what you're talking about."

"Mother, it's up to you whether I can keep my position as the crown prince." The prince said: "If you let your uncle and treat me as a child forever, it won't be long before the East Palace can change masters." ”

Concubine Xiao frowned.

"Whether it's with you or my uncle, I have repeatedly emphasized that Meng Changqing can't move, what about you?"

"At that time, your uncle was just trying to get angry with you."

"It was me who was kicked by him, and I was still not angry, where did my uncle get angry?" The prince was clear in his heart, "It's not for Xiao Yunsong, my uncle wants to pave the way for his children, don't you know that the honor and disgrace of the Xiao family are tied to me, and I can keep the crown prince's position so that the Xiao family can keep the glory." ”

Concubine Xiao Guifei was impatient by what he said, "How can a Meng Changqing keep your position as the crown prince?" ”

"One Meng Changqing can't do it, but the Meng family can."

Xiao Guifei chuckled, "The Meng family now only has Meng Changqing and that pile of things that can't be put on the table, how can I help you?" It's better to let Yun Song come to you, at least between your cousins, it's easy to discuss things. ”

"I can't discuss it with Meng Changqing?" The crown prince clenched his left hand and controlled his tone, "When I was seven years old, Meng Changqing came to the East Palace, how many troubles he has helped me solve over the years, the mother concubine should see it."

Although he is only a military general, he has no family support, but which official in the court mentioned that his father and brother did not praise him again and again?

My father and grandfather have the same concept, and I kept Meng Changqing by my side to please my father. ”

"What a please." Xiao Guifei said: "I have also heard about the previous dynasty, Meng Changqing went to Liangzhou to get a city wall, but your father didn't even have a reward." ”
