After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

After Yu Jian sent people and successfully robbed the four cars, the prince felt that everything was safe, so he ordered people to whistle to recall the people who were pestering the prince of Xiliang.

After he met Yu Jian, Yu Jian said to the prince excitedly:

"Your Highness, I didn't expect us to be so successful today. The cooperation between the two of us was really perfect. This time, this Xiliang prince suffered a loss. I told him not to dare to be arrogant again."

The prince looked at Yu Jian and said to him seriously:

"Things must be hidden well. Don't let them find out. It will cause us a lot of trouble."

Yu Jian said to the prince:

"Your Highness, if something gets into my territory, it won't be able to fly even if I put it in my throat, so please be at ease, Your Highness."

While they were talking, they saw his own soldiers riding fast horses to find him and said:

"General, general, a warrant has come from the Prime Minister's Office, asking you to close all the city gates as quickly as possible. He said that the Prince of Xiliang has lost four carts of property, and he asked you to dig three feet into the ground and help him find it."

Yu Jian said to the prince:

"Okay, as I said, the work is coming. I'm going to help Prince Xiliang find the lost property. Your Highness, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he smiled playfully at the prince, flew onto his horse, and disappeared into the night.

The Xuanwu Dynasty held an early morning court every March, Sixth and Ninth Day, and today happened to be the ninth day of August.Before dawn, Prince Xiliang took Huo Lei to wait outside the Jinluan Palace early.

As soon as the morning court hour arrived, the courtiers filed into the court hall one by one. The eunuch in charge of the court hall, holding a fly whisk in hand, said sharply to the civil and military officials in the hall:

"The Emperor has an edict. If something happens, he will report it early. If there is nothing, he will withdraw from the court."

At this time, Hu Gao, who was standing in the front row, was the first to stand up and play:

"Long live Qi Zun, Zhang Zonggui, the prince of Xiliang Kingdom, is now outside the palace asking for an audience."

The emperor glanced down, and then said to Hu Gao:

"Since Xiliang has sent people, let's announce it."

The messenger shouted loudly:

"The Emperor has a decree to announce that Prince Zhang Zonggui of Xiliang would like to see you."

When the prince of Xiliang heard that he was announced to enter the palace, he walked into the court with his head held high.

Now between the two countries, Xiliang has been at the advantage since the last war.Although this mission to the Xuanwu Dynasty was proposed by Xiliang.I originally wanted to use Yu Shinan's reputation to suppress the civil servants of the Xuanwu Dynasty, so as to build momentum for their trip.

But what he never expected was that when the old master appeared on the scene, he not only failed to give these people a showdown.He was also suppressed by Jiang Chen, a young boy, who couldn't hold his head up in public.

Although it was a bad start, not only did it not make Xiliang lose face, but it also left people laughing in the end.

This made the old master feel even more shameless, and he was so angry that he wanted to go back to Xiliang immediately.

Not only did he lose the first round, even the gifts he gave to Hu Gao were snatched away on the street.

He originally felt that this was a bad start, and he was very angry.He thought that after he met the emperor, he would question him and let him know that Xiliang people were not easy to mess with.

He looked at the emperor who was sitting upright, and just bent down and cupped his fists to salute.There was no kneeling ceremony.

"Zhang Zonggui, Prince of Xiliang, has met His Majesty."

When the emperor saw him coming in, he asked:

"Zhang Zonggui, there is nothing going on at the border between our two countries. I don't know why you are here."

Prince Xiliang cupped his fists and said:

"This is a document from our court. Your Majesty, please take a look."

The emperor said to the messenger:

"Bring it up."

After reading it, the emperor said to Prince Xiliang:

"Since your envoy has come to the Xuanwu Dynasty, let's walk around and take a look at the customs and customs of our Xuanwu Dynasty. See how it is different from your Xiliang Kingdom."

Prince Xiliang said:

"I came here this time and traveled thousands of miles to select some antiques and rare treasures for His Majesty. I planned to present them to the Emperor, but I didn't expect that they would be stolen at the feet of the Emperor. This incident surprised me. No, I thought the people of the Xuanwu Dynasty were simple and simple. Although they couldn't avoid picking up things on the road, they couldn't stop bandits from everywhere. Even the tributes brought to the emperor were hijacked. I never thought that such an unexpected thing would happen in this prosperous place like the capital. This is really a pity.”

After hearing this, the emperor immediately said to him:

"Your Majesty, when did this happen? How could it happen to you by such a coincidence? Prime Minister Hu, what did you do? How could the envoy of Xiliang encounter such a thing? "

Hu Gao stepped forward and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I have received a report from the Prince of Xiliang yesterday. Now I am ordering the nine-door admiral Yu Jian to close the city gate tightly and search the whole city. I think there will be news in the near future. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I I will definitely find the lost property for His Highness the Prince."

At this time, the prince stepped forward and said:

"Since the special envoy of Xiliang said that the tributes presented to the emperor were lost in our court, then please show His Highness the list of tributes presented to the emperor. If those tributes are found, it would be better for them to check whether there are any missing items. . Besides, since it is a tribute, the quantity will be very large. Ordinarily, the security measures of our post house are also very good. How did those thieves manage to steal everything without leaving anything behind? . Besides, how could you let those thieves carry such valuable things without stopping them? Could it be that you all drank the sweat medicine? This makes me puzzled. "

The prince's words left the Xiliang prince speechless for a moment.He really couldn't produce a list of tributes, because most of his lost items contained too much gold, silver and jewelry.

Since it is a secret gift, it is natural that gold and silver should be used for easy-to-use items.Furthermore, when the prince faced the questions raised directly, he could not justify himself.

Stealing such a huge amount of precious things cannot be dismissed with just one word.

Knowing that the prince would ask such difficult and difficult questions, he would rather suffer the loss of being mute than go to court to speak.

Just when he didn't know how to answer, Hu Gao stood up and explained for Prince Xiliang:

"Because His Highness the Prince is coming to see the Emperor this morning, so last night, the tributes were packed and packed in the car to be sent to the Emperor. The thieves took advantage of everyone's tiredness and fell asleep, and then took them all away. It's a pity that it was so A lot of tribute has fallen into the hands of thieves, I will definitely pursue it to the end and recover the tribute to the emperor."

When the prince saw that Hu Gao tried his best to cover up the lies for the Prince of Xiliang, he asked the Prince of Xiliang:

"I wonder when His Highness lost this batch of tributes."

Before Prince Xiliang could answer, Hu Gao took the lead and said:

"It was at midnight."

The prince said with a slight smile on his face:

"Prime Minister Hu seems to know more about it than His Highness the Prince. Could it be that the Prime Minister was with His Highness the Prince when it was lost?"

Hu Gao saw that the prince was pressing on him step by step and had no intention of letting him go, so he said to the prince:

"His Royal Highness, does he have another purpose for targeting me like this?"
