I'm crazy

Chapter 5

After the emperor sat on the dragon chair, all the ministers bowed down.A father-in-law shouted: "There is a book to play early, and there is nothing to leave the court!" The voice just fell.A gentleman stood behind me and said: "I have a play!" The emperor said: "Xue Aiqing, please tell me!" Lord Xue bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "I want to attend the private festival of Mr. Yi, the governor of Jiangnan, and Mr. Jiang, the governor of Jiangnan. Looting food and grass for disaster relief." Master Xue finished.The court booed in surprise.

The emperor said: "My dear friends, do you have any objections to Xue Aiqing's performance." The boos just now disappeared, and no one stood up in the quiet hall to express doubts.The emperor said again: "Since there is no objection, it seems that this matter is true. Jiangnan has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times, but in recent years there have been frequent disasters. I suspect that someone is haunted, so I secretly sent Hong Li to investigate secretly.

Sure enough, something was found.It is good that there are disasters in Jiangnan, but they only happened five years ago and this year, but the governor of Jiangnan lied to me about the disasters every year. What is even more annoying is that he colluded with bandits to rob disaster relief materials and let the people affected by the disaster starve to death.This group of bandits is too arrogant, blatantly robbing disaster relief materials is really outrageous!Hong Ting, you found out about this matter, and now I leave it to you to handle it.I sent fifty imperial guards to accompany you to escort the relief food and grass to relieve the victims, and wipe out the bandit "One Flower"!

Along the way, local officials can be dispatched for bandit suppression.Honggong, Water Transport Liu Aiqing, and Shi Aiqing assisted Hongchi in handling this matter. "Hong Zhi and the other three walked out of the collar to thank him and returned to their original positions. I glanced at Hong Zhi, but I couldn't see his expression.

At this time, the emperor said again: "General Li, what's the situation in the frontier recently?" A tall and mighty general stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Return to the emperor, the Japanese tribes outside the northern border have recently detained several people from our country. The merchants who traded and robbed them of their supplies. After discussing with the generals who guarded the frontier, I still adopted the strategy of using static braking and did not deal with it for the time being. Now in the late spring and early summer, the north is where the grass grows and the eagle flies. But we have frequent disasters. A small Japanese tribe is nothing to be afraid of. After a conflict with the Japanese tribe, the Jinyang Kingdom in the south will wait for the opportunity to come across the river and start a war with us at the same time. I'm afraid that the supply of food and grass is insufficient. Stand still now and teach the Japanese tribe a lesson after the autumn harvest."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said: "Well, what does Lu Aiqing think about this matter?" A middle-aged man with a big belly came out. The strategy of braking with static is very good, I have no objection, and I have some suggestions."

The emperor said: "My minister, please tell me." Lu Chenxiang said: "Since the Japanese tribe has detained our merchants, we will restrict our merchants to trade with the Japanese tribe. At that time, the daily needs of the Japanese tribe will have to come from Jinyang Kingdom Buy it in your hands, and the high prices in Jinyang Kingdom are enough to make the Japanese tribes suffer."

After Lu Chenxiang finished speaking, the emperor said: "What the minister said makes sense. General Li, you can do what the minister said when you go back!" General Li said back to his original position.The emperor asked who still wanted to play, and a minister stood up and said, "I have this play!"

My stomach was growling with hunger, and my feet hurt from standing, and I cursed in my heart: "It's not over yet, can't I go down and play to the emperor again?"Don't say it in court.

I just heard the minister say: "Qizou the emperor, His Highness the Fifth Prince fell into a coma after drinking in the Palace of the Second Highness. It is suspected that the Second Highness did it, but I think there is something else wrong with this matter."

The emperor asked: "What's so strange, let's hear it!" The minister replied: "Your Majesty, think about it, who is stupid enough to kill someone in his own house, and besides, the Second Highness and the Fifth Highness drank the same pot of wine that night. They ate at the same table, Second Highness was fine, but Fifth Highness had an accident, I think it must have happened on the way home after Fifth Highness left Second Highness's palace."

At this time, another minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Liu. Since the past dynasties, there have been constant fights among the princes. What happened to His Royal Highness may be due to the jealousy among the princes. At that time, His Royal Highness was not in the palace. After His Highness is eliminated, there is only one possibility left, that is, the Third Highness plotted against the Fifth Highness on the way back to the palace, and then put the blame on the Second Highness."

"Nonsense. It is well known that the Third Highness has been friends with the Fifth Highness since childhood. How could it be possible to plot against the Fifth Highness? According to my opinion, it is very possible that the Second Highness's bitter trick is also very possible. The second Highness was first suspected of the Fifth Highness's accident, but the Second Highness Your Highness is not stupid, as Master Liu said, no one would kill someone in his own home, so thinking about it this way, if the Fourth Highness is not in the palace, then the Third Highness must have done it.

In fact, it was His Highness the Second Highness who called out to be a thief, and he played a trick to lead everyone around. "Master Liu said: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Jia, how could His Highness Second Highness use such a bitter trick. "

Master Jia said humanely: "If you don't do anything, can't it be enough to invite the Second Highness to confront him?"

The emperor said: "As Jia Aiqing said, call Hongqi!"

After a while, the father-in-law outside the door reported: "The Second Highness is here!" The emperor said: "Let him in."

I saw a tall and thin young man walking in from the door, about 30 years old, with delicate features and the appearance of a scholar.

Hongqi went to the center of the hall and knocked his head three times towards the emperor, and called out: "Father!" The emperor sighed and said, "Get up!" Seeing Hongqi getting up, the emperor said: "Hongqi, tell me the truth! Did you plot against your fifth younger brother?"

Hongqi hurriedly replied: "No, Father, it's not my son. My son was wronged. My son invited the fifth brother to dinner. If he took the opportunity to harm him, wouldn't it be shooting himself in the foot! It's the third brother. He didn't like my son-in-law, so he asked the fifth younger brother to frame me!"

At this time, another person stood up and pointed at Hongqi and said, "Hongqi, it's a pity that I still call you second brother. Why did you wrong me like this? Just now the ministers said that I didn't go to theory. But Hongqi, you don't It's the same, you have to have a basis for what you say, the fifth younger brother happened in your palace, don't try to shirk it."

It turned out to be His Highness the Third Highness, I glanced at him, the same delicate features were somewhat similar to His Highness the Second Highness, except that his cheeks were slightly sunken.At this moment, he was glaring at Hongqi, his chest heaved, obviously very angry.

Hongqi also glared at the third highness and said: "Honggong, anyway, I didn't do it, I didn't do it, it's you who did it, you look at the father and admit it, lest our brothers get along, it's not good for anyone !" Hong Cheng said angrily, "Hong Qi, you obviously did this, why do you want me to admit it!"

Hongqi yelled angrily: "Honggong!" At this time Honggong also yelled angrily: "Hongqi!" I saw that the two brothers were like two fighting roosters, staring at each other, motionless.

I laughed in my heart and said: These two brothers are really interesting, their people are interesting, and their names are even more interesting, "Hongqi" and "Honggong".Thinking of this, I couldn't help but "puchi" a laugh. As soon as I laughed, I realized that I was in the court hall at the moment, so I quickly covered my mouth, but it was too late, and the quiet court hall was full of noise because of my laughter.

The ministers discussed a lot, and some said: "Your Highness Fifth is very ill this time, your mind is broken, I think I should take refuge with other princes!" How can you laugh at life and death!"

Some said: "In my opinion, the Second Highness and the Third Highness are innocent. Maybe it was the Fifth Highness who made a trick himself, so that his two brothers could kill each other and reap the benefits."

Some said: "If you want me to say, His Highness the Fifth Highness already knew who the person who killed him was? He did this!" Some said, "Let's see how the Fifth Highness ends up!"

I also blushed with embarrassment because of the unintentional laugh just now.There was a lot of uproar in the hall, and the emperor said loudly: "Do you have any doubts about the debate between His Highness the Second Highness and the Third Highness?"

The minister immediately calmed down and bowed and replied: "I have no doubts!" ​​The emperor said: "Hongdi, why did you laugh just now?" I was surprised that the emperor would ask me, and said in a daze: "I ..., Erchen..., I thought of it just now..." I thought to myself that I can't say the names "Hongqi" and "Honggong" are funny.

The emperor said: "What?" I was shocked again, and I wanted to go all out, so I said casually, "I think this matter can be turned into a small one, and a small matter can be turned into nothing, so there is no need to be so troublesome. Anyway, my son is fine now." !"

After hearing this, the emperor said angrily: "Nonsense, it's a matter of life and death, how can it be a joke!"Continued: "What happened that night, I also forgot, I guess I may be unconscious because of alcohol poisoning." "Alcohol poisoning?" "I have never heard of it!" "There is such a thing as alcohol in the world. □? Excuse my ignorance, I haven’t seen it before!” “The Fifth Highness is seriously ill, and started talking nonsense!”

There was another chaos in the hall.I said loudly, "What about alcoholism? It means that if you drink too much, you may become unconscious or even die."

The emperor said: "You said that you were unconscious because of alcohol poisoning?" I said: "Father, I also guessed. After all, I don't remember the situation at that time, and it may be on the way back to the palace. However, there are many possibilities for this to happen anyway.

But I don't know the real situation. I think in order to avoid hurting the peace, it's better to turn the big things into small things and make them nothing. If innocent people are wronged, the consequences will be disastrous.

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and said: "It sounds reasonable, do you have any objection to what His Royal Highness said?" Your Highness said, leave this matter alone and retreat!" After speaking, he got up and walked towards the back of the palace.
