Chapter fifty-six water, gradually muddy
It was shocked!
All officials from all over the Beijing area were shocked!
The two princes were patronized by Heishuiwei and brought to Wenchang Hall one after another. The news was like a mountain collapse.
Officials from several major factions were not sure about the situation and were confused and inquired everywhere.
After learning the result, the officials went crazy and rushed to the palace to ask for first-hand news.
Unfortunately, Emperor Anguo was determined to disappear and the officials went to see him. The imperial guards blocked all the people at the gate of the imperial city.
Under the plaque in Wenchang Palace, the second prince looked calm and the third prince's legs were shaking slightly.
The third prince and the second prince have different appearances and temperaments. If the second prince is said to be a bookish spirit, then the third prince is full of heroism, which is exactly the opposite.
But people are diverse. The third prince who seems to be heroic, but in fact he has a little timid personality!
Especially when he was invaded by the Hei Shui Guard early in the morning, the third prince collapsed and almost collapsed on the spot.
"The two princes Xuan meet!" Qiu En stepped out of Wenchang Palace and said to the two at the top of their voice.
After calming down, the second prince took the lead in stepping into the hall. Just as he was about to bow, he heard the angrily voice of Emperor Anguo: "You two, so brave!"
"I'm not dead yet, I dare to assassinate the deputy envoy of the delegation!"
"What a good son!"
After saying that, Emperor Anguo threw the memorial in his hand before the two of them, and the second prince picked it up first.
The third prince, who was moving a little slow, came over and the two brothers got up in the hall.
After more than ten breaths, the two of them trembled suddenly, and they all showed horrifying eyes!
Just as the third prince was stunned, the second prince took the lead and knelt down in panic and said, "Father, my son did nothing!"
"You can't wrongly accuse me!"
"How could I assassinate Luo Li!"
The sound of hoarseness exploded, and the second prince who was kneeling on the ground actually cried.
The 'Woo' sound was extremely miserable, and tears fell like a fall, as if I had suffered a huge grievance.
Hey? The third prince was stunned. According to the memorial, shouldn’t this prince kneel down and shout for justice first?
Not to mention the third prince, even Emperor Anguo stared at him unexpectedly!
On weekdays, the second prince is quite mature and steady, and he does not change his expression when encountering problems, and is often not surprised by favors and disgraces. He is the most emperor among all princes.
Today is different from usual, and my courage seems to have become much smaller.
Emperor Anguo thought about it for a moment and probably the second prince knew the consequences of this matter well and must have been afraid, so he showed abnormal symptoms.
A sneered at the corner of his mouth, and Emperor Anguo thought to himself: What have you done long ago!
"Last brother, the token is explained clearly!" Emperor Anguo threw the token on his desk.
The "clang" spread in the hall. The third prince fell to the ground, picked it up from the ground and didn't even look at it. He immediately imitated the second prince to beg for mercy.
"Father, it's nothing to do with the children!"
"The token is indeed from Erchen, but Erchen has never instructed Yin Shi to kill Luo Li."
"My son dare not! Father, you know. My son is always timid, how dare you commit a heinous crime?"
The two sons knelt down and cried one after another, and their miserable appearance made Emperor Anguo unable to bear the emotion.
He has always been tolerant of his nine sons and his ears are soft!
But if such a serious crime is not punished, it will one day become more serious and may lead to worse events.
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Anguo said, "Who did it? Take the initiative to admit it. I will spare myself. If I dare to hide it, I will peel him off!"
"Not a son!" the two said at the same time.
"Ha! I don't admit it! OK! The person who came, I will put the second son in a black prison and be severely interrogated. There will be a result!" Emperor Anguo ordered angrily.
His whole body was shaking violently, and the second prince cried loudly, saying "unfairly".
It’s a pity that Emperor Anguo had closed his eyes and stopped looking, and the second prince struggled and was dragged down by the guards.
After waiting for someone to leave, Emperor Anguo opened his eyes and said, "The third brother, go back to the house and stay in a confinement. You must not go out without my orders, otherwise you will also taste the taste of black prison!"
"Yes! Father! My son must not dare to go out for a second!" After the punishment came down, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed in the hall, unable to move all over.
"Come here, send the third prince out of Wenchang Hall!" Emperor Anguo said with displeasure.
Several guards came in and carried the third prince out of the hall gate.
Emperor Anguo stood up and walked in the hall.
The third prince has always been timid and has many cautious people. His methods and mentality are not as good as the second prince. He doesn't dare to do anything randomly if he gives him a few courages.
According to the memorials of Luo Li and others, all the disadvantages were pointed at the second prince. Emperor Anguo was not a fool. It was probably possible that the second prince sent someone to assassinate him and took the opportunity to frame the third prince.
So to be fair, he believed that it was done by the second prince.
Only then did he be angry did he order the second prince to be sent to black prison.
But Emperor Anguo was not without doubt. Such low-end frame-up methods should not have been made by the second prince.
After thinking about it, Emperor Anguo always felt something was wrong, so he waved and ordered the eunuch to come over: "Go to tell me about Qiu En, there is no need to be punished. Take good care of food and don't abuse my second child."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch responded and left.
...
It has been half a month since the delegation arrived in Shuguo and Xijing. Because the Emperor Shuguo was seriously ill, the delegation was unable to be summoned.
Luo Li originally thought Zhou Zheng would be anxious, but he did the opposite. He went out to drink with a smile all day long, but was carried back at night.
I still remember that at noon one day, Zhou was not easy to stay at the inn and never went out.
But Luo Li was unhappy. The shameless king actually reached out and said he had no money and asked Luo Li for it!
Listen clearly, you want it, not borrow it!
Luo Li refused to give it to him, and Zhou Zheng actually threatened to report that he had accepted bribes!
"Damn! Brother, you're so shameless! You're collecting more money than me, where's the money?" Luo Li said in an unhappy tone.
There is definitely no way to report it. Most of the time Zhou Zheng would just talk casually, otherwise Luo Li would have turned against him long ago.
Zhou Zheng was not angry and scolded, but instead said with a smile: "Isn't this all for drinking? Have you gone to the pleasure boat?"
Drinking? Painting boat? How can these two things cost so much money?
Luo Li asked thoughtfully: "Have you gone for a bribe?"
"Yes!" Zhou Zheng nodded simply.
Suddenly! Luo Li felt admiration!
No wonder Zhou Zheng dared to accept bribes without scruples, and even said arrogantly that he was a useful person and was not worried that Emperor Anguo would be punished. It turned out that all the money was used here!
If there were more officials like this in the court, it would be estimated that Anguo would surpass the two countries faster!
"Can things be done?" Luo Li asked about the alliance and marriage.
After careful consideration, Zhou Zheng replied: "Six or seven out of ten, if the virtuous brother is willing to give up most of the money, I can guarantee that 80% or more."
I was confused! Luo Li was confused! I didn’t want to give the money if I beat him to death! But if I don’t give it, it won’t work!
In desperation, Luo Li had to take out most of the silver notes from the ceremony and handed them over!
Zhou Zheng took the silver note, and his joy appeared on his face. He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a pleasant sound outside the station!
The two of them changed slightly, so they quickly opened the window and looked out!
A Luo flag was the beginning, followed by a long praise and blowing team!
