Tyrant [Rebirth]

After the group returned to the imperial city, they were taken into the inner city by officials from the Ministry of Rites. Before entering the city, Chu Shaoling distributed dry food and seeds to the people on the road as usual, as if nothing had happened, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The princes at the gate of the palace had been waiting early, Chu Shaoruan's face was pale, the eyes of the third prince Chu Shaomo were full of gloating, Chu Shaoyang seemed to know nothing, and smiled harmlessly at Chu Shaoling, the fifth prince Chu Shaosui It is true that I don't know anything, and I am happy to watch this lively battle.

After Chu Shaoling got off the horse, several princes hurriedly approached to say hello, exchanging a few polite greetings, followed Chu Shaoling to Chengqian Palace, where the emperor was still waiting.

As soon as Chu Shaoling entered the Chengqian Palace, he felt a special smell. Concubine Li, who was supposed to serve in front of the imperial court, disappeared. The emperor's expression was not better than when he left the palace, but his complexion seemed to be worse.

Chu Shaoling greeted him according to the etiquette, and asked about the emperor's condition in detail. The emperor was a little absent-minded, smiled lightly, and asked about Chu Shaoling's assassination on the road. He tried to comfort him, but did not mention how the assassin dealt with it.

The emperor is short-spirited, he has scruples in his heart and doesn't want to develop it, so he doesn't want to mention it for now, but if he doesn't mention such a big matter, someone will naturally mention it.

Chu Shaomo said with a smile: "I heard what happened to my brother on the road? This is also new. You can meet assassins on the way to Huangzhuang. Brother also tell the brothers to hear!"

The mother and concubine Defei of the third prince Chu Shaomo died early, and his qualifications were mediocre, so he was not liked by the emperor.

For such a prince, he is generally like the empress dowager, no matter whether he likes it or not, he can pass it on the outside. Naturally, there is hatred, and now seeing Chu Shaoruan fall into a big somersault, I really can't help it.

Chu Shaoling chuckled lightly: "I also find it strange that I went to run an errand properly, and actually provoked some thieves. I am glad in my heart that this time I went to the plowing ceremony on behalf of my father. If my father went by himself, That……"

Chu Shaoruan's face turned white in an instant, Chu Shaoruan looked at Chu Shaoling, hated him so much, not to mention dragging his family into trouble, and even gave them a regicide hat!

The face of the emperor on the couch also changed, and Chu Shaoling smiled lightly: "I ordered people to escort those people to Shuntian Mansion, but I don't know how the trial is going? Who is this thief? They don't rob money, they only kill me. Could it be that I offended them?"

The hall became much quieter, and Chu Shaoyang said, "Brother didn't know it when he came back. This is a big case. After he came back, he was transferred to Dali Temple, and then... those assassins are all dead."

"Dead?!" Chu Shaoling's eyes were full of disbelief, "When these thieves were captured alive, they would still beg for mercy. Seeing that these people didn't want to die, why did they all die so easily?"

Chu Shaomo smiled and showed off his IQ: "Brother still can't think of this? Obviously someone was in a hurry and killed someone to silence him!"

Chu Shaoruan was sweating profusely, his legs and feet were flimsy, and he was almost on the verge of collapse. Chu Shaoling inserted the last knife slowly: "Oh, that's okay, even a dead body can find a lot of evidence. Dali Temple handled the case carefully, and I believe it Dali Temple and the Emperor Father will give an explanation to the son and minister."

The emperor closed his eyes and nodded: "Naturally, Ling'er has worked hard on this errand, and there will be rewards when I recover. Let's go to Ci'an Hall first, the Queen Mother still misses you."

Chu Shaoling knelt down.

As soon as Chu Shaoling got out of the sedan chair, he was greeted by Grandma Sun. The queen mother had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. The queen mother was always thinking about it. The matter must have frightened the Queen Mother, and she quickly smiled and said, "What's wrong with the emperor's grandmother? The grandson just went out for a trip, and he didn't lose a single hair."

The empress dowager was angry and aching in her heart, tears flowed out before she could speak, and she choked up and said: "That's it! You can't let Ai's family worry... The queen is cruel, let go and leave you to Ai's family, if you are hurt Now that we have met, how will Aijia explain to the queen in a few years..."

Chu Shaoling's heart was hurt by the empress dowager's words, and Chu Shaoling felt sore when he mentioned Queen Ling's visit, so he quickly knelt down and said in a low voice: "The grandson is fine, I dare not let the emperor's grandmother think about it. In the heyday of Spring and Autumn, these words must never be said again."

The Empress Dowager hugged Chu Shaoling and sobbed for a long while, and Chu Shaoling persuaded her for a long time to get better, and said ruthlessly: "It seems that some people are crazy if they dare to do something to the prince. I'm afraid, the Ai family will definitely not allow people to easily turn over this incident..."

The old queen helped Chu Shaoling up, let Chu Shaoling sit beside her, rubbed the grandson's back and said slowly: "The Ai family sent people to the Jingguo mansion and Zijunhou's mansion to inform, this time the Ai family will let those People should learn some lessons well..."

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "The emperor's grandmother has gone to war, and those people are already dead, so there is nothing to be found out."

"There is no real evidence for this matter, that is why Dali Temple dare not go deep into the investigation! Such a case, without your father's nod, would Dali Temple dare to investigate down?!" Now the queen mother also has resentment towards the emperor, It's just that I still feel distressed in my heart, and I didn't say anything, I just said, "Don't blame your father, your arm is folded and hidden in the sleeve, your father also has difficulties, the matter of the Zhen family will affect the whole body, and there is no one yet. When it comes time to move the Zhen family... Now there is not enough evidence, and the emperor didn't say to continue the investigation, since the Zhen family is not moving, then we have to take this opportunity... Forget it, these Zi Junhou will tell you when they come back."

The queen mother has always guarded the bottom line of not interfering in politics in the harem. No matter how much she manipulates secretly, she will not take action on her own.But the queen mother's mother's family and the huge power behind the scenes are not stupid, so naturally someone will relieve her worries.

Since the emperor was thinking about old feelings and didn't want to touch the Zhen family, he had to offer something equivalent to compensate Chu Shaoling.

The queen mother sighed, how ridiculous that now she and her son have to use their own power to check and balance each other.The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Shaoling's exquisite eyebrows and eyes and felt a little comforted. Her son was withdrawn and stubborn, and her grandson would be much better. If Chu Shaoling takes power one day, she will definitely not make it difficult for herself and her mother's family. Chu Shaoling is a person who will take care of her mother's family The Empress Dowager can rest assured.

The Queen Mother continued to talk about Chu Shaoling for half a day, always worried that he was hurt and scared yesterday, Chu Shaoling's heart moved slightly, and he said slowly: "The grandson can come back safely now, thanks to the loyalty of the guards."

The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Shaoling lovingly, and said with a smile: "The guards around you are doing this, you just reward them well."

Chu Shaoling smiled, and seemingly casually said: "There is a man named Wei Ji beside my grandson, who is especially loyal. He has been injured like that, and he has been taking care of me desperately. My grandson is very grateful." Chu Shaoling was vague and did not tell a lie , but described the incident as extremely thrilling, as if Wei Ji was bruised all over to protect him.

The queen mother smiled: "Then give this person a good grace, and it can also inspire the people around you. You know the art of manipulating people better than Aijia, and you know how to use them well. If you promote such a person to your side, there will be thousands of people around you." One can protect you well."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Sun Er saved it."

After coming out of Ci'an Hall, Chu Shaoling went back directly to Bitao Garden. There were still many people outside who wanted to see him, but Chu Shaoling didn't have the mind to deal with them one by one. To show a certain amount of sincerity, the other Chu Shaoling didn't want to bother at all, he only wanted to see Wei Ji now.

Wei Ji was curled up on the couch in the dormitory, and when he came back, he was fed a large bowl of medicinal food by Wang Muhan, and he was a little sleepy at this moment, seeing Chu Shaoling coming, he quickly stayed on the bed to say hello, Chu Shaoling helped him up and went to bed together, Chu Shaoling relieved Wei Ji The clothes looked at his injury, but Wei Ji didn't care much about it, and said, "This injury will heal within a few days. Did those assassins find out anything? Who is going to kill His Highness?"

Chu Shaoling smiled: "There's nothing wrong, don't worry."

Wei Ji had a sensitivity similar to that of a small animal about Chu Shaoling's affairs, so he thought for a while and said, "Is it the Zhen family?"

Chu Shaoling raised his eyebrows: "You still know this."

The matter of Concubine Li and Empress Ling is known inside and outside the palace, even if Wei Ji is not vigilant, he still understands a little bit, and thought for a while and said: "The Zhen family is not good to His Highness, why did the emperor punish the Zhen family so early?"

Chu Shaoling laughed, if someone asked this, Chu Shaoling would not even respond with a sneer, but when Wei Ji asked Chu Shaoling, he thought it was very cute, his Wei Ji was still young, Chu Shaoling held Wei Ji and told him to lie down and relax. Stretching his arms, he slowly said: "When the emperor ascended the throne, he also experienced some twists and turns. In addition to the queen mother and my mother's mother's family, the Zhen family also contributed a lot."

Bringing up the past, Chu Shaoling felt a little disgusted, and continued: "After the emperor ascended the throne, he began to hate the restrictions of his family. He wanted absolute power, and he completely forgot how many times Wei Fu and Ling Fu had died to help him to this position. People only want to follow their own temperament, and under such circumstances, the Zhen family will become a personal soldier defending the imperial power."

"My father wantonly promotes the Zhen family, and wants to use it to check and balance his own family..." Chu Shaoling couldn't help but sneer, "Why doesn't he think about it, when the Zhen family climbs to this position, it may not be easier to control than the Wei family and the Ling family , You only believe in Concubine Li's flattery and obedience, you idiot!"

Wei Ji looked at Chu Shaoling in a daze, and Chu Shaoling looked at his dumbfounded look a little funny, and said with a light smile, "Do you understand?"

Wei Ji shook his head honestly, he didn't understand.

Chu Shaoling didn't expect him to understand, so he smiled and chatted about other things.
