Chapter Seventy-Two: Chase and Fight

When he returned to the palace, he was about to send someone to find them, and when he saw them, he said, "Haha, you guys came back on time, where have you been?"

"Prince, you say!" Wu Meiniang saw that Princess Taiping wanted to speak, so she quickly stopped her and threw the question to the prince.

"After returning to my father and mother, we went to Cheng Lao Chitose Mansion, and later, the two marshals Qin and Xue also went!"

"Oh, what did you talk about? This time, Han'er said!" Wu Meiniang's face became normal.

"Back to the emperor and the queen's mother, the main thing is to appease Cheng Lao Chitose, and casually talk about the affairs of the court, mainly by the Taiping beating them, haha, Taiping can frighten Cheng Lao Chitose today, it's like training a child, I am embarrassed for Cheng Lao Chitose, I didn't expect Sister Taiping's eloquence to be so good, I admire it very much as an elder brother!" Xiao Han hurriedly replied.

"So, Hong'er, what did you say?" Wu Meiniang was happy, she liked to hear others praise Princess Taiping the most, and now, from Xiaohan's mouth, she couldn't be happier.

"I only said that I want Cheng Lao Chitose to thank the emperor for his grace, and ask him to stop protecting Xu Jingye; Sister Taiping is so powerful now, even I am embarrassed to be an elder brother, and I admire it very much!"

"Okay, it's all the truth, forget it, just go, I still want to see Cheng Biting Jin perform again, hehe, I can't watch it this time, at least, he won't be a wolf tomorrow, hopefully, it's a sheep;

"Yes, the sons and daughters must follow the teachings of the queen mother!" Prince Hong hurriedly replied.

"Okay, I know that you have dinner at Cheng Lao Chitose's place, okay, hehe, this time, just accompany us for a drink, Hong'er, you have to pay tribute to Han'er a few more glasses, you know? You have to thank him, haha, be your prince!" Wu Meiniang is getting happier and happier at this time.

At least, this time Prince Hong didn't disappoint her and was able to keep up with them!

Only then did Prince Hong gradually understand that the reason why his crown prince position was stable was because Xiao Han and Princess Taiping had done enough work, and his gratitude to them in his heart couldn't help but add a little more.

Sure enough, as soon as she went to the court the next day, Wu Meiniang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, the affairs of the court will be handled by the prince himself, and the emperor and the palace will listen to the government with the court, my lords, what do you think?"

"Obey the will of the queen!" all the adults hurriedly expressed their attitudes, and it was a variety of lives: some people are happy, some people are lost, some people don't care, and some people watch the play!

"Okay, Emperor, you start to manage the government, do you have any intention to play?" Wu Meiniang spoke again.

For a while, the ministers didn't know what to say, even Shangguan Yi and Pei Lin were no exception, Qin Huaiyu had to come forward and ask: "Although there is no war on the frontier at present, our armaments are a little relaxed, please ask the prince to give an edict, can you strengthen training, and the manufacture of bows and arrows also needs to be stepped up;

The crown prince hurriedly looked at Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, they nodded, and then he said: "Do what Marshal Qin wants, Marshal Qin, please deal with yourself!"

"Obey the will of the emperor and the queen, and Weichen will do it immediately!" Qin Huaiyu was overjoyed, and sure enough, the prince began to govern.

Subsequently, all the ministers said some trivial things, and when they saw that they had no intention of playing, Wu Meiniang said: "Prince, it's your turn, you say it, you might as well say it again in front of all the adults!"

"Erchen thinks that Xu Jingye is a great rebel during the Lantern Festival, and he actually makes a big fuss in the Changlou wine shop, slandering the Virgin, which is really a great disrespectful crime; it has now been ascertained that Xu Jingye still has a list of traitors, and the circumstances are bad, and the sons think that he must be arrested, and the criminal department will interrogate the cause, and after the son's ministers verify it, he will ask his father, the queen and the queen to be judged!"

"Well, Prince, submit the list!" Wu Meiniang said happily.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" After speaking, Prince Hong has submitted the list!

"Taiping, read it, listen, who is on this list!" Wu Meiniang said quietly

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Princess Taiping took the list and immediately read it: "So-and-so, so-and-so, Shangguan Yi, Pei Lian, Qin Huaiyu, Xue Dingshan, ......"

She suddenly couldn't read it anymore, so she hurriedly read it before saying: "Ah, father, emperor, mother, the names of all the officials in the court are on it, including many feudal officials, this is impossible!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" said Wu Meiniang expressionlessly.

"This, this, this ......" Everyone didn't know why, so they quickly knelt down in fright.

"Okay, then, let's invite Xu Jingye, the Marquis of Anle, who started the attack, and listen to what he has to say!" After speaking, Wu Meiniang said: "Pass that bold and reckless rebellious minister and thief!"

Sure enough, after a while, Xu Jingye came up, and Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Xu Jingye, tell me, what's going on?"

"Hmph, Queen Mother, don't you want a list? Did I give it to you?" Xu Jingye said fiercely.

"Prince, you ask, I'm tired, I'll rest for a while, don't scratch me!" Wu Meiniang began to pretend to sleep.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Prince Hong said: "Hou Ye Xu, are you guessing the riddle for us? Okay, we don't want this list, haha, Hou Ye Xu is really smart, come on, burn this paper immediately!"

Gonggong Qin had already prepared, and immediately brought a brazier and burned the list, and the ministers were relieved, but they were already uneasy.

"Okay, Lord Xu, tell me, what do you want to do with the martial arts party?" The prince's eyes suddenly discharged: "Say, what do you want to do?"

"Ah!" Xu Jingye suddenly panicked, he had never seen such a stern look from the prince, he had always looked like he was submissive, why, let him be in charge at this time?

"Xu Jingye, you are so treacherous and cunning, when you see that the matter is exposed, you don't ask for guilt, and you want to make a fake list out, you say it yourself, what do you want to do?"

It seems that at this moment, he is like a sword, and his eyes are like sword light, shooting towards Xu Jingye's heart.

"No, I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to make a joke on the queen!" Xu Jingye tried to continue to cover up.

"I'll tell you for you, you just want to mess with our Datang society, Hou Xu, who is so-and-so, who is so-and-so, say!" the prince continued to ask.

"No one, I'm just ......" When he wanted to talk nonsense, he found that all the eyes of everyone were shooting at him, and suddenly, he panicked even more, and quickly knelt down: "The emperor spares his life, the queen mother spares his life, His Royal Highness the prince spares his life, and the minister deserves death!"

"Indeed, you deserve death, you are so vicious, trying to destroy my Tang foundation, you really deserve a thousand knives, come, warriors, take it out for me, and cut him with a thousand knives!"

"Yes, Prince, obey the Prince's command!" the samurai hurried up.

"Hey, Emperor, wait!" Gaozong Li Zhi said, and then waved his hand: "You go down, it's none of your business!"

"Xu Jingye, you are really bold enough, you are talking nonsense at will in Chang'an Restaurant, and now, you are deliberately making a list to fool me, say, do you want to do it? Do you think that your Xu family has a lot of credit, I don't dare to kill you? Don't you dare to behead your whole family?" Gaozong continued to ask.

"The minister deserves death, the minister is guilty, the minister deserves death!" Xu Jingye suddenly felt scared at this moment, as if a sharp knife was sticking to his back, and he felt cold all over his body.

"Now I know I'm afraid, haha, to be honest, I don't want to kill you, but I don't know what to do with you, yes, you didn't plot rebellion, you just wantonly talked in the restaurant, yes, you will definitely not accept the condemnation of you by words;

"Alas, the emperor is right, this Xu Jingye is extremely evil, but the evidence is insufficient, it is better to put him to death Ling Chi, and he will be beheaded in dissatisfaction, lest people say that the emperor killed innocents indiscriminately!" Cheng Biting Jin's attitude turned out to be very good.

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she couldn't help but take a look, sure enough, an old sheep, she couldn't help laughing: Han'er and Taiping's method really works, good, really good!

"Marshal Qin, Marshal Xue, what do you think Cheng Lao Chitose thinks?" Gaozong Li Zhi will start to watch the excitement.

"Old Chitose is reasonable, this Xu Jingye is rebellious, the crime deserves death, please ask the emperor to give him Ling Chi's punishment!" Xue Dingshan said.

"Yes, yes, Ling Chi, Ling Chi will be executed!" Qin Huaiyu also said.

"Haha, Xu Jingye, what do you say yourself?" Gaozong continued to play a game of cat and mouse.

"Ah, the emperor spares his life, the queen mother spares his life!" Xu Jingye was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed.

"Hey, this is strange, our Marquis Xu has always been very bold, have any of you ever seen Marquis Xu begging for mercy like this? No, this is a new thing, haha, our emperor said it on the day of the Lantern Festival, for Li Shiji's sake, spare you from dying;

"It's exactly what I want, haha, Xu Jingye, you want to kill the queen's head, at this time, the queen's mother is still interceding for you, you are grateful, go to Meizhou to be the assassin; I still say the same thing: Our Xiaohan Lord is so good, a few words can defeat you; even if you have thousands of troops, I estimate that he only needs three feet of Qingfeng, a few words, to defeat you, so that you are all annihilated! Haha, don't worry, if you don't die, Lord Xiaohan will be my rebellious general, beheaded, you go, leave Beijing tomorrow, stay one more day, and cure your whole family!" Gaozong said unceremoniously.

"Yes, Emperor Xie for not killing, Queen Xie for not killing, the minister will retire!" After speaking, Xu Jingye hurriedly slipped away.

"Haha, there seems to be a puddle of water on the ground, could it be that our Marquis Xu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is so scared that he pees his pants?"

"Cheng Lao Chitose, do you think he is really a hero, haha, there are very few real heroes, but there is no doubt that our guest master Xiaohan is one, haha!" Wu Meiniang smiled proudly.

Princess Taiping's eyes lit up again, and they were as gentle as spring water!
