Chapter 21 Chapter 21
His heart was flustered like never before, that person is not in the capital... The palace is full of Gu family members...
But he is the eldest son, the brother of the former prince, so he has to go.
King Rong hadn't ridden a horse for several years, so he kicked on at this moment, without caring much, waving his whip and cape all the way, and the deer boy opened the way for him.
He frowned, clutching the reins tightly.
King Jing is a fool!Regardless of the situation!Can he catch it?It's even making trouble before the Holy Spirit!
Are you afraid that the Gu family will not find a chance to rectify the Tian family?
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw the guards who had always been purged in twos and threes, each whispering their ears.Some panicked, while others stared excitedly.
King Rong got off his horse and walked fast, almost running.
Outside the gate of Hanyuan Palace, I suddenly heard many people in the palace shouting in unison, and the dignified and serious palace was like a bustling market. "Don't! Third Master, put it down!"
King Rong stepped into the door, and the trembling palace servants at the door trembled: "His Royal Highness is here!"
Many people's eyes focused on him, and the descendants of the Tian family immediately stepped out of the way, shouting: "King Rong!" "Brother Huang!"
King Rong walked into the circle with a sullen face, and then he saw the crowd forming a circle, and the two old assistant ministers stood in the center with the little emperor. The little emperor stood there with his eyes wide open, his hands slightly pressed against his trousers, panicked.
Before King Rong came, he was impatient and cranky, but when he got here, he paused for a moment, and first stepped forward to pull the little yellow figure into his arms.
The second and third uncles of the Gu family arrived in complete order, and most of the courtyard was occupied by Gu's family members. Gu Xiaoge's head was covered in blood, and he was holding a stool in his hand, being blocked by others.
King Rong's eyes were gloomy, and he asked, "Master Gu, is he going to splash blood on the court?"
Gu Sanye threw the stool angrily, pointed at King Jing opposite, and shouted through gritted teeth: "His Royal Highness King Jing galloped a horse to hurt people! He also hurt me!" He held up his bruised skin and asked, "What should I do? "
King Rong looked at Gu Sanye, but asked King Jing in a deep voice, "Is that so!"
King Jing immediately said: "He is talking nonsense, it is clear that he is presumptuous! If you refuse to give way to the prince, I will do it, but I will never ride a horse in the city!"
Gu Sanye stared, "You fart! My arm was bruised by you!"
King Jing was dragged by someone, and wanted to jump, "You are spitting blood, turning black and white!"
Uncle Gu Ertang stared, "A dozen servants are all watching, can there be fakes?"
The servants of King Jing over there immediately shouted for grievances: "Definitely not! The servants are also watching!"
The voice of the Gu family over there immediately became louder, "Yes! Yes! Look at him hitting our third master!"
In the chaos, Master Li coughed, "According to the appearance, Gu Sanye is indeed seriously injured. I heard that Gu Sanye has practiced boxing and kicking since he was a child?"
Gu Sanye knelt down with a bang, and shouted at the Son of Heaven: "I beseech the Holy One to be the master! King Jing rode his horses in the city, disregarding human life, and beat me to death! Everything I said is true!"
His body was covered with bruises, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, every time he knocked a blood mark.In contrast, King Jing stood upright, looking relaxed and healthy.
Seeing his third uncle like this, the little emperor was so distressed that he wanted to die, his face wrinkled, "Get up, third uncle."
Mr. Li twisted his beard and said: "No matter what, it is really inappropriate for King Jing to be so cruel."
Uncle Gu Ertang said coldly: "Prince Jing is going to put people to death. Fortunately, he is the third child today. If ordinary people are afraid of being beaten to death!"
The Gu family also shouted loudly: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!"
"Correct!"
Master Li asked the little emperor, "What do you think the Holy One thinks?"
The little emperor flinched: "Listen to the adults."
Master Li raised his tall body, lowered his eyes and said: "In view of my humble position, no matter what, King Jing's actions are very inappropriate, and he needs to be whipped a few times to improve his memory."
He stopped asking the little emperor, and said directly: "Come here, give King Jing ten lashes!"
King Ding and the others were anxious, "Your Majesty! King Jing is your uncle!"
King Rong was also in a hurry, but the trend of the times, the Gu family clamored louder, neither the emperor nor the ministers in charge were of one mind with the princes.
The palace servants brought a wooden tray covered with yellow brocade, and put a whip on it.
King Rong was already stiff all over, he recognized that this was exactly what Emperor Mu Yan used to flog Mrs. Zhong in Hanyuan Palace, and one day, the torture tool was used on the Tian family himself!
In this Han Yuan Palace!Great ancestors!
King Jing was angry and frightened, stood there trembling, and shouted, "Let me see who dares to beat me! There has never been a precedent of whipping a prince in Hanyuan Palace!"
The palace servants were so frightened that they couldn't move forward. Gu Sanye was so angry that he threw off the palace servants, pulled the whip, and his eyes almost devoured: "I am a general appointed by the emperor! No one has ever dared to beat me!" !"
He snatched the whip and wanted to beat the prince himself!
King Rong opened his eyes wide, how could this be so? !
Gu Sanye had already gone crazy, he whipped him down!
King Rong was beside him, and he could be pushed to the ground by raising his hand!
But he took a step forward, stopped in front of Gu Sanye, and caught the whip he dropped with his hands!
He was pulling the whip, his face was extremely gloomy and serious. "I'm still the eldest son of Emperor Rui Wu! The current Prince Rong! With me here, you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"
He threw the whip vigorously.
Seeing that the situation was going to be out of control, another senior assistant minister, Mr. Chen, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, hurriedly said, "Master Gu, put down the whip! King Rong, don't get angry!"
He winked at Master Li, who was a bit at a loss, and said to the people in Hanyuan Palace: "Don't be excited! Don't be impulsive! Although the Holy Majesty depends on us to decide this matter, it is not appropriate for us to make a private decision."
His mind was spinning wildly, and his eyes were also rolling around, "It's better to invite Prince Jing and Gu Sanye back to the mansion to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors, and at the same time immediately send a letter to the uncle of the country in Hong Kong City, asking him to make a decision!"
King Rong was so angry that he was dizzy with his heart beating, but he still stood in front of King Jing.
He tried his best to breathe smoothly, to cool down his bloody head, his voice was still tight, and he gritted his teeth, "Okay."
The princes and grandchildren returned to the residence together with him, and he was surrounded by a group of brothers. It was not until night that he felt the burning pain in his palm.
He opened his hand and saw a dark red bruise.
Jing Wang and Gu Sanye were imprisoned in the mansion.King Jing sent a message to all the brothers, he never rode a horse in the city, please help him find out this matter.Gu Sanye wrote a secret letter before the government sent out the government affairs papers, and sent it to Gu Qinghou quickly.
He was in a state of mind, so he recounted in detail how he and King Jing met and how they argued, and how he whipped King Jing in the palace, but was slapped by King Rong and seized the whip.At the same time, he wrote complacently that he was so strong that King Rong caught it with his bare hands, but it didn't catch him well.
His second brother has always been unpredictable, and You Ai doesn't say a word about the matter of King Rong, and Gu Sanye always feels confused about this.And I couldn't help but try to see how I could please my second brother.
He knew that his second elder brother had been humiliated by King Rong, either out of shame, embarrassment, or hatred, and his second elder brother avoided this person, but he himself wanted to get it back for his second elder brother.
Therefore, it is quite exaggerated for King Rong to take over the whip.
In Hong Kong City Mansion.
From time to time, the sound of cannons sniping Japanese pirates could be heard by the seaside, and the government office was also engaged in the construction of military industry, so it was hard to be quiet at twelve hours a day.
Gu Qinghou had a buzzing sound in his ears, and sometimes he needed to speak loudly when talking to his subordinates. It was already late at night, and he was feeling drowsy and dizzy. While talking to more than a dozen cronies in the room, he took the Various notebooks, one of which was a private letter from his third brother, he thought it was nothing important, so he opened it to take a casual glance.
He read the letter with his eyes, but he said to Li Sheng, his proud confidant, "With the firepower like tonight, the Japanese pirates will retreat in five days. Tomorrow the ones in the east..."
His voice stopped, and he suddenly stood up.
A dozen or so people in the room looked at each other and stood up, none of them dared to sit down.
Needle drop could be heard in the room.
After waiting for a moment, Gu Qinghou gently put down the letter.
Someone whispered: "General?"
Gu Qinghou came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, he comforted everyone and said: "It's nothing, what did we just talk about?"
After more than an hour, the soldiers in the room withdrew. Among them, Li Sheng went out to call Gu Qinghou's relatives and told him: "Put the general to rest earlier, I think he is not in good spirits when he speaks."
The attendant sighed, "The general has never had a full sleep these days, and he will return to Beijing soon."
Li Sheng looked at the dim candlelight in Gu Qinghou's window, and frowned slightly.
The candles were not extinguished until dawn.
But in Beijing, the contention of Jingwang Gu Sanye's downtown dispute, after a day of fermentation, became more and more troublesome.
The Gu family spread everywhere that the prince made troubles and rode horses, relied on the imperial power to do whatever he wanted, and there was no law for the king to hurt people.
The princes firmly denied it, accusing the Gu family of relying on their honor and power to spit out blood.
And no matter who is right or wrong, the relatives openly whipped the prince in Hanyuan Palace, even though they were captured by King Rong, they were also unbearable by orthodoxy.
Those old ministers who had never been trusted to enter the palace heard about this and felt that it was contrary to the integrity. Headed by Wang Qingshu, they wrote a letter and cried.
For a while, the common people also talked about it: the foreign relatives have always been arrogant, and they control the court and the palace. Obviously, it is the princes who have been wronged.
Those who cry for grievances for the princes account for the majority.
Gu Qinghou's approval came from Hong Kong City, moving Jing and Gu to the prison, and they will be interrogated when he comes back!
The messenger who sent the reply, Li Sheng, finished reading at the place of Jing and Gu without a single pause, and went directly to King Rong.
When Li Sheng met King Rong, he chatted a few words about the turmoil of that day as if visiting and surveying. He smiled and said: "Your Highness has been wronged, Uncle Guo will return to Beijing in the future, and it is decided that His Highness will uphold justice."
King Rong didn't take this to heart. Third Master Gu is Gu Qinghou's brother. No matter who is right or wrong between him and King Jing, it is unjustifiable to whip the Prince and hurt King Rong. Gu Qinghou's people To say that he was wronged is to clean up the mess for his brother. As for whether he will uphold justice...
King Rong thought about it and sighed.
He sent Li Sheng out, and asked casually, "It's only been a few days since Mr. Guo went to Hong Kong, and the Japanese pirates have calmed down?"
Li Sheng smiled, "When Uncle Guo came, morale soared, it was like a god's help, we won every victory, but Uncle Guo came back so early, there must be another reason."
King Rong almost casually asked what the reason was.But when he saw Li Sheng's half-smile, hesitant to speak, he thought of his identity and felt how inconvenient he was, so he refused to speak again.
