After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

Jin Wangfu.

crunch--

With the sound of heavy wooden doors opening and closing, the gate of the palace that had been closed was opened again. Xuan Pinghou, who was dressed in a dark purple official uniform, walked in front with a smile, followed by seven or eight officials who also wore court uniforms.

Xuan Pinghou's smile was somewhat apologetic, and he said to these people: "The concubine Xian in the palace is not in good health today, Jin Wangdian went to the palace to greet her in the afternoon, who knows that she has not returned to the palace until now, It’s been a long time, my lords.”

"His Royal Highness is not here today, the old man is taking the initiative to send some of you back home, and we will discuss it after His Highness leaves the palace tomorrow."

Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the King of Jin. Since she is sick, the King of Jin must be filial and no one can criticize her.They were all key members of King Jin's party, and after hearing what Xuan Pinghou said, it was inconvenient to complain too much, so they clasped their fists together and said "His Royal Highness is pure filial piety" before leaving.

Xuan Pinghou was left standing alone in front of the palace gate, sighing heavily.

Ning Xun, who was dressed in brocade robes, quietly walked out from behind the gate of the mansion, and said softly, "Father, don't worry, he has already sent someone to look for it. His Highness is young and fun-loving, so it is common for him to go out without a guard of honor. "

"How can I not be in a hurry? There is going to be an uproar in the government hall because of this matter in southern Xinjiang!" Several people went away, and Xuan Pinghou could no longer maintain the smile on his face, and walked back while talking, aggressively Ning Xun had no choice but to frown and follow.

Xuan Pinghou was very angry: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually proposed to personally tour the southern border. Half the court was shocked. We must have a countermeasure. At this moment, His Royal Highness Jin Wang actually left the ministers who came to discuss and slipped out of the mansion I won't be coming back!"

The crown prince proposed to visit the southern border yesterday when discussing matters in the Lizheng Hall. The King of Jin and Marquis Xuanping agreed to call the ministers of King Jin's party to discuss this matter together tonight.

But tonight, King Jin has never returned to the mansion.

Ning Xun also knew that this matter was absurd, but he had no choice but to defend it for King Jin: "But wasn't this matter already agreed upon at the beginning? Luyao in Nanjiang, this trip is full of dangers, His Royal Highness Jin Wang does not need to get involved, just look His Majesty will deal with it as he pleases."

"The past is the past!" Xuan Pinghou said angrily, "If the crown prince doesn't go, King Jin can naturally stand by and watch, but since the crown prince has gone, can we stop carefully thinking about the pros and cons?!"

……

Ning Xun remained silent for a while, and did not dare to confront his father, but only looked at Xu Wenyou who was standing silently in the corner.

Xu Wenyou also received Ning Xun's extremely oppressive gaze, swallowed his saliva and forced a smile: "My lord, Your Highness just pretends to go out without a servant, the servant really doesn't know..."

Ning Xun also knew that the palace supervisor's voice was too shrill, which would reveal his identity, so Xie Ke pretended to go out without Xu Wenyou.

Ning Xun closed his eyes, and said: "Think carefully, where His Highness usually goes out, where will he stay overnight...Think carefully."

Xu Wenyou secretly glanced at Xuanpinghou's face, and lowered his voice: "It's just a few places, Miaoyinfang in the north of the city, Yunshao Mansion and Yunliang Building in the west city, and those flower boats. ..."

In terms of his status as the King of Jin, even if he has an opera troupe in the mansion, this person prefers to run away. He doesn't live in the palace all the time, and he always likes to embarrass Ning Xun afterwards.

The names were announced one by one, Xuan Pinghou's face was too dark to look at, only Ning Xun suddenly got excited and thought of something.

No way? ?

In the face of important military and state affairs, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the Lizheng Hall to report three times a day, but he almost didn't sleep in it. Didn't you forget this in this season?

The atmosphere in the study room became more and more silent. Although Ning Xun thought of something in his heart, he didn't dare to say it. He could only say to Xuan Pinghou: "It's late at night and there is no one to be found at this moment. Father, let's go back to the house to rest. , the son is here to guard it.”

After Xuan Pinghou flicked his sleeves and walked far away under his babbling, Ning Xun just collapsed on the soft chair in the study, took Xu Wenyou's arm, and said: "Send someone to the drunken boat in the south of the city. Find it on the fairy's flower boat, and bring a few more soldiers to guard it, hurry up!"

-

When King Jin was carried back, his head was covered.

When Ning Xun saw this person being carried back sideways, his heartbeat stopped for a while, and after a sway, he forced himself to look at the faces of the people following him. He saw that the faces of the people were all expressionless, and they were not in a hurry appearance.Only then did he calm down.

Taking a closer look, he saw that although King Jin's body was dusty, he was dressed neatly and even the fabric was not torn, so he looked fine.

He let out a breath, put most of his heart down, and was about to step forward to remove the obtrusive cloth on King Jin's head, when he was stopped by the grey-faced guard next to him.

The bodyguard Ning Xun recognized that Xie Ke was lifted up from the Divine Guard and brought him with him. Because of his strict and honest manner, and his poor background and no taint with the Tangjing family, Xie Ke used to love to take him with him when he went out.

Seeing that Ning Xun stopped, the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and first took King Jin, who was still lying with his head covered, to the bedroom. Then he dragged Ning Xun to a corner of the bedroom, and whispered like a thief: "Forgive me, my lord. His Highness is not seriously injured. His Highness wanted to cover that piece of cloth himself. He said that if it was peeled off outside, he would peel off the villain's skin..."

Ning Xun looked back at the person on the bed who was breathing evenly but not as calmly as usual, frowned and said, "What's going on? We agreed to go back home early today, why did we stay outside for so long? What happened to this?" look?"

The guard was also very aggrieved, and said in a muffled voice: "Today, His Highness went to drink in that flower building as usual, and originally planned to drink two glasses of wine before leaving, unexpectedly, there was a commotion in the boat halfway, it sounded like some aunt brought her servants The servant came to find his husband, and boarded the flower boat along the way."

"This is a common thing in the flower boat, and His Highness didn't want to intervene. Unexpectedly, after beating and scolding, the aunt put her hips on her hips and scolded in the lobby, 'Men who like to visit flower houses are not good people. Today is a substitute." It’s the way of the sky, clean up everything’, and let the thugs search from room to room.”

Speaking of this, the guard covered the two inconspicuous small wounds on his head, and said a little depressed: "It's strange, I don't know which daughter in the general's mansion is it? Such fierce, and the few servants he brought are really skilled. It's so high, it actually caused us brothers to suffer."

The guards were also extremely depressed. Although King Jin was traveling in casual clothes and not many people were taken out, they were all elite fighters. Logically speaking, even if they did not reveal their identities, they still had the capital to run rampant in the capital.

Who would have expected that some of the servants from some mansion who don't even know who were dressed as servants would be pushed to the ground as soon as they met each other?

But those servants are still very particular, they don't hit them who are obviously followers, they only greet the master.

Ning Xun didn't want to talk anymore.

servant?Whose family is full enough to support such a master as a servant?

I'm afraid it's not the servant who just changed the uniform of the guards?

The prince is really... what he says must be practiced.

He sighed, let several guards go down to rest, and pushed back the eunuchs and maids in King Jin's house, walked to the bed and coaxed with a soft expression: "Your Highness, let me take a look? But it hurts on the face? "

He had already heard from the man's breathing that King Jin had woken up, and the injury was not serious. If the injury was serious, he might not be in the mood to cover his head with a veil so that no one can see him.

That's right, the prince has always acted mildly, even if he wanted to avenge the hatred of the aphrodisiac, he would never beat King Jin to death, at most he would vent his anger.

After Ning Xun coaxed for half an hour, King Jin reluctantly removed half of the veil, and let the imperial doctor who had been standing by for a long time look at the wound.

"hiss--"

The moment he saw the injury on King Jin's face, Ning Xun gasped, and immediately retracted his previous thoughts.

With Xie Ke's personality, it would be better to beat his face to death...

-

East Palace, Mingde Palace.

Xie Heng lay on his back on a soft chair, letting Yun Zhou untie the heavy hair crown from his head, and two other servants half-kneeling to untie the heavy jade belt accessories around his waist.

On the other hand, Gu Mingzhao's image was not much better than him, and his clothes were far less complicated and heavy than the prince's.But he is a general, he needs armor and a sword, and the burdens on the two of them are not far apart after careful calculation.

As for why the two of them who were originally very concerned about their personal image became like this - without him, since returning to the palace, they are really too tired.

Emperor Hui's grand court meeting, which had not been held for a long time, returned to normal, and every day he talked about matters in southern Xinjiang, making a lot of noise like cursing in a vegetable market.After the Great Court Meeting, when they return to the Lizheng Hall to discuss the state affairs, they have to sit with Emperor Hui to bow their heads, and watch several academicians who are known as the masters of the literary world roll up their sleeves and quarrel and spittle...

After finally returning to the East Palace, I haven’t been able to sit still. Uncle Zhao Shuyao and other trusted ministers of the prince’s party spontaneously came to the door. Let’s have a small meeting...

Gu Mingzhao took off the soft armor and took off the long sword, finally relaxed a bit, sighed comfortably, and said in a daze while looking at the red curtain in the inner hall.

"If this matter has no side issues, it's almost finalized. It depends on how King Jin reacts."

After the prince proposed to go to southern Xinjiang in person yesterday, the reaction from the court was very enthusiastic.

In the history of the Qi Dynasty, there were not no examples of princes patrolling the border. On the contrary, before the first prince, the princes of all dynasties had accompanied the army on expeditions or patrolled the border.

It's just that the crown prince died in southern Xinjiang, and the emperor left only the crown prince as his legitimate son. The most important candidate of the royal family in the court was Xie Ke, king of Jin.

Originally, there was no suitable prince in the clan, so the emperor's son should be on top.

The crown prince is the most expensive, the fourth son is weak, and the eleventh son is young. Among the princes, Xie Ke, king of Jin, is the most suitable one.

But Luyao in Nanjiang is still dangerous, Xie Ke doesn't want to go, it's true.

The rumors in the court were very urgent, Xie Ke pretended to be sick and pretended that he did not exist, and Emperor Hui really favored him. Whenever someone mentioned King Jin, he would distract the matter without a trace.

Just survived those few days when the limelight was at its peak, the court ministers also understood what Emperor Hui meant, and the conversation no longer focused on King Jin, and gradually changed direction.

There is no one in the clan, so as long as there are relatives and relatives, it is not impossible, you can think about it further...

For example, Song Qian, the commander of the Dianqian Division.

Before Song Qian's name was mentioned, His Royal Highness stood up and said that since the elders of the clan are old, it is difficult to choose a candidate this time, and he is willing to travel to southern Xinjiang to share the worries of his father.

It is well known that the prince is weak, and because of this, the voice of the person who stood up and said those two gentle and firm words seemed even more Xiao Shuxuan, which was heartbreaking.

The King Jin Party couldn't stand at that time.

The dispute between the crown princes seems to be the matter of these two, and the matter of the southern border, if the prince does not go to the king of Jin, then it doesn't matter.

But if the crown prince is so weak and sick that he is thinking about sharing the country's worries, but the king of Jin is still pretending to be sick, what do the princes and ministers think?

It is said that Xuanping Hou didn't even return to his own home after he left the palace, and went straight to Jinwang's mansion to "visit sick".

Gu Mingzhao was afraid that if Marquis Xuan Ping persuaded the King of Jin, the Lord "healed" overnight, and those ministers who were already a little bit of energy would be resurrected with full blood in an instant, and they would still quarrel for a few more days.

Xie Heng smiled when he heard his words, and said indifferently: "Xie Ke's wind and cold are severe, how can he recover so easily in a short time."

"His wind-coldness is just pretending, where did the wind-cold come from..." Gu Mingzhao stopped in the middle of speaking, raised his brows and looked at the prince's secretive expression, as if he had realized something.

He was about to ask again, when he saw a eunuch with the same clothes as Yun Zhou came in from outside the palace, leaned over and said: "Your Highness, Dingguo Duke's Mansion has sent a secret letter."
