Chapter 259 The Prince's Plea
Xu Jie saw that it was already getting bright, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the Sixth Prince and hurried to the East Palace.
Yesterday, the prince was very drunk and slept all night. Now when he woke up, the treacherous words he said yesterday came to his mind. The prince suddenly felt a splitting headache and his soul was gone. He urgently ordered people to kill all those who were present yesterday.
Everyone was detained, but it was difficult to deal with these people silently.
The prince had no choice but to call the princess over to discuss countermeasures. When the princess learned the whole story, she was also very panicked and hurriedly said: "Lock her up first. As for how to deal with it, I have to ask Mr. Xu for an idea."
"
At this time, Xu Jie had already arrived at the East Palace. The prince welcomed Xu Jie into the room as if he were meeting his own father. He didn't care much and told the story.
The prince was still trying to shirk his responsibilities, and only talked about things that were beneficial to him, so that what he said was confusing. Xu Jie was impatient and refused to be polite to the prince. He waved his hand and said directly: "Your Highness, there is no need to talk. Yesterday,
I already know everything about this matter, but I wonder how Your Highness will handle this matter?"
The prince then remembered that Xu Jie had arranged for someone to be around him in order to facilitate contact at any time. He thought it was that person who repaid him, so he thought about his own statement.
The prince hurriedly said: "Now we have to kill them. The dead will naturally not talk nonsense. But they are not just two people. If we kill them all at once, I am afraid it will attract people's attention and make people more suspicious.
So I ask you, old man, to help me think of a way to cover up the past."
Xu Jie couldn't help but sneer when he heard this and said: "Your Highness is still dreaming. Every time His Highness accepts a beauty, it is like placing a nail in his side. I am afraid that what happened yesterday has been spread long ago. I dare to say
, the emperor and the wise king must have known it. If you remove them now, isn't it obvious that you are trying to hide the truth by killing people and silence them? I'm afraid they didn't fully believe it in the first place, but now they believe it 100%."
The prince was scolded by Xu Jie. He was a little annoyed in his heart, but now is the time to ask for help, so he must be humble. He patiently begged: "Please, Mr. Xu, save Gu again. Gu guarantees that this will be done."
So I sent away all the classless beauties around me, and I never dared to accept another beauty until something big happened."
Although Xu Jie didn't believe that the prince had changed his mind since then, he could only nod his head and believe him at this time, and warned earnestly: "I hope that your highness will remember this lesson in the future, know the way back, and always put the overall situation first in the future."
The prince naturally nodded in agreement, and Xu Jie taught the prince a few more words. The prince hurriedly followed his words.
At this time, the emperor was also heartbroken. He had already known what the prince had said yesterday. He thought he was not unkind to the prince, but he did not expect that he was still alive and well. The prince was already eager to set his sights on his throne.
It is true that there is no true love in heaven.
Suddenly, the chamberlain reported that the prince wanted to see him. The emperor sneered and said, "Let him come in. I want to take a good look at this biological son."
Unexpectedly, the prince actually came in with his chest and arms exposed. He knelt down in front of the emperor and begged the emperor for forgiveness. He cried out that he had been plotted by a villain, felt sorry for his father and ancestors, and begged the emperor to punish him.
When the emperor saw that the prince was crying with snot and tears, he felt even more disgusted in his heart. He shouted hurriedly: "You know what crying is, and it is worthy of you. How can you look like a prince?"
The prince then said: "Yesterday, my son drank some wine. His mind was confused and confused. He followed the words of a few palace ladies and said a few words. After he woke up this morning, he discovered that those traitors were actually...
It's a curse on the father. The son fell into their trap without checking for a moment. The son is really regretful. Although he has locked up those people, he still feels uneasy and asks the father to punish the son severely."
The emperor stared at the prince and asked: "Is everything you said true?"
The prince nodded hurriedly and said, "The son dare not lie to his father."
The emperor gave a long snort in his nose and chuckled: "This is worth your noise. I just punished them quietly for this matter. Why make such a big noise? There are whispers in your room, and outsiders don't know."
, by doing this, you spread the word about disrespecting your biological father."
The prince hurriedly kowtowed and said: "My son is extremely sincere and filial to his father. He only wishes for his father's health and longevity every day. He also allows his son to be able to fulfill his filial piety in front of his father all the time. This is a great blessing for his son. How could he go against the will of others last night?"
I feel really uneasy and cannot be in front of my father
I regret that my son will never have peace of mind in his life. Now he dare not ask his father for forgiveness. He only hopes that God did not hear what he said yesterday. Otherwise, God will give his son a chance to make amends and add the son's life span to his father. Otherwise, God will give his son a chance to make amends.
My son will never die in peace."
The emperor looked at the prince for a while and sighed: "It's rare for you to be so filial! Don't worry, you are just the prince, but I am the real dragon emperor. How can God pay attention to your drunken nonsense? Of course it can't be done.
That's right. But although your father won't blame you,
But as the crown prince, your every move and word and deed are related to the welfare of millions of people in the world, so you must be careful in your words and deeds. For the sake of the people in the world, my father has to punish you. You go back to the East Palace and spend two months in seclusion.
, reflect on your own mistakes."
The prince first heard that the emperor had forgiven him, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that he would have to shut himself up later and think about his mistakes. Moreover, it was only two months, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold. No matter what, he should get through this first, and then take things slowly in the future.
The prince was thinking of something, so he kept his face hidden, but still looked grateful and relieved. He kowtowed solemnly to the emperor, then stood up and left.
At this time, the emperor said again: "You should deal with those people in your palace early, so as to avoid long nights and many dreams. This is not a glorious thing. Stop it here and don't spread it outside. You and I can do it."
The prince hurriedly kowtowed again and apologized: "Thank you very much, father, for your consideration. It is my son's incompetence that makes my father worried."
The emperor watched the prince leave with a complicated expression. He couldn't help but sigh, and his face seemed much older.
Eunuch Cao took the opportunity of offering tea and whispered: "Why doesn't the emperor properly interrogate those palace officials so that the matter can be brought to light?"
The emperor took a sip of tea and sighed: "The prince has the heart but does not have the courage, but he is just following other people's rules. As for the people who planned this matter, they cannot escape. I am old, and I still hope to have children and grandchildren."
It's so enjoyable, people, it's rare to be confused! Anyway, they can't come up with anything, so there's no need to cause discord between their brothers over these trivial matters. I hope they can understand my fatherly heart."
Besides, the wise king also found out what the prince had said that night, and he was overjoyed. No emperor could tolerate being targeted by others for the throne while he was still alive. Now the prince could not even think about being unlucky.
The next day, the wise king heard that the prince had gone to the emperor to plead guilty. He was really surprised that the prince had acted like this. According to his understanding of the prince, the prince should have killed those people and silenced them, which happened to confirm his crime.
.
However, when he thought that there was Xu Jie beside the prince, the Xian Wang was relieved. He couldn't help but worry that the emperor would be deceived by the prince and make the matter a trivial matter. When he found out that the prince had been ordered to stay in seclusion for two months, the Xian Wang
I couldn't help but laugh.
The canonization ceremony will be held in one month. When the prince comes out, everything will be over. Regardless of whether the emperor personally attends the conferring ceremony or appoints another prince to do it for him, it is obvious to all that the prince has lost his favor.
, water flows downwards, there is always a shortage of people in this world who follow the trend and add insult to injury. It is conceivable that the prince lost power.
Xu Jie naturally thought of this, and was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. The Sixth Prince advised: "It's useless to be impatient. There will always be a way to solve the problem. I think this matter has something to do with the King Xian. I
There is also an arrangement, and in a few days he won't be able to get any better, and then the trap on the prince will naturally be untied."
Xu Jie didn't believe it and had no good countermeasures, so he had no choice but to follow the Sixth Prince. However, he was still thinking hard about countermeasures. Of course, the first thing was to help the Prince send away the concubines.
The prince closed his door to think about the matter and sent the concubine, and soon every courtier weighed it up and down several times. Some of them also heard some rumors. Seeing the emperor's behavior, they naturally did not dare to say a word at will. Others
I can only make wild guesses.
To be honest, although the prince is lustful, it is not a big problem. This ordinary wealthy family also has two beautiful concubines to serve as maids. Moreover, the beauties around the prince were not snatched by him. This incident is really serious.
This is strange.
The emperor only thought that the matter of being a prince had never happened, so he still invited his old brothers to watch the guards' martial arts competition as usual.
When the ministers saw that the emperor was like this, they did not dare to disturb his interest, so they did not mention the affairs of the court, but only talked about the martial arts and strategies of the guards.
As mentioned earlier, most of these imperial guards are served by the children of meritorious military commanders. Those military commanders are all trained with swords on the battlefield. Everyone has a few special skills, which are naturally passed on to their nephews. Therefore,
The guards below were competing, and the old guys above were praising and scolding each other. It was really lively.
Some veterans became dissatisfied when they saw that their sons were at a disadvantage. The fathers and elders of both sides were at odds with each other for a while, so they started gesticulating on the side, and the situation above and below became a mess.
At this moment, the emperor was not angry, but was extremely happy. He seemed to have returned to the good old days when the brothers were together many years ago, without the scheming of the emperor and his ministers like they are now, and only like-minded people working together to share joys and sorrows.
When the ministers saw this, they encouraged the emperor to give some other rewards to those who won the first prize, in addition to those who were promoted, to show encouragement.
The emperor readily agreed, and the people below fought even harder.
In the end, it was Jiang Jianping who won the first prize. The emperor smiled and said: "I keep my word. In addition to promoting you, there are also rewards. It's just that I haven't thought of what to reward you for the moment. Why don't you mention it yourself."
Jiang Jianping knelt down and said: "The emperor's grace is so great that I have nothing to ask for. I just want to solemnly propose to Princess Lan in front of the Holy Emperor." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
