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

Jiang Chen rode his horse and whipped the princess to rush all night, and in about three or four hours, he arrived outside the palace.

At this time, Princess Moyue was already lying in Jiang Chen's arms, extremely weak.

Jiang Chen shouted to the guard at the palace gate:

"Princess Moyue is back, please open the palace door quickly."

The guard heard that Jiang Chen didn't speak with a local accent and was about to come to expel him.Princess Moyue scolded her with all her strength;

"Bold slave, don't you even know this princess? Open the palace door quickly."

When the guardian saw that it was indeed Princess Mo Yue, they all knelt down and saluted:

"See Her Royal Highness."

Princess Moyue waved her hands at them and urged:

"Open the palace door quickly."

The guard quickly ran over and opened the palace door.Under the guidance of Princess Moyue, Jiang Chen ran straight to the emperor's palace.

When the guards saw that it was Princess Moyue who had returned, they hurried over to salute, but the princess ignored them.

She was carried off the horse by Jiang Chen, and then stumbled towards the palace.Jiang Chen was afraid that she would fall and followed behind.

A eunuch stopped her and said:

"Your Highness, the Emperor has taken a rest. Please come back tomorrow if you have something to do."

The princess pushed him to the ground and shouted into the palace as she walked:

"Father and Queen, I am your Yue'er and I have come back. You must avenge your brother."

The Emperor and Queen of Xiliang inside were already alarmed by Princess Mo Yue's disturbance.

They hurriedly put on their clothes and came outside. When they saw their daughter kneeling on the ground, the emperor hurriedly asked his daughter;

"Mo Yue, is it you? You are back. Where is your imperial brother? What did you shout just now?"

The queen asked even more anxiously:

"Yue'er, where is your imperial brother? Didn't he come back with you?"

Mo Yue knelt down for a few steps, then she threw herself into the queen's arms and cried loudly:

"Mother, the emperor's brother was killed. You must avenge him."

The emperor on the side came to the princess in one step and said:

"Yue'er, what are you talking about? Who dares to touch your imperial brother in Xiliang? Please tell me what is going on."

The queen shook her head in disbelief, kept shaking the princess's shoulders, and said with a cry:

"Yue'er, what's going on? What's going on with your imperial brother?"

Princess Moyue cried more and more, unable to hold back her emotions, and said to them:

"My father, my mother, my brother and I were killed by Zhang Zonglin at the border on our way back to the country. Even the right prime minister Fan Chong and the general Huo Lei did not know their whereabouts. I was rescued by this young master. , I was lucky enough to escape."

The queen pulled the princess's shoulders and said in a hoarse voice:

"What are you talking about? It was Zhang Zonglin who killed my emperor. He was destined to die. The emperor always loved him as his own son, but he repaid his favor and killed my emperor. Your Majesty, you have to do it for me." The prince takes revenge."

After saying that, he and his daughter hugged each other and cried.At this time, the Emperor of Xiliang almost fell to the ground. He held his head with his hands.

The eunuchs and maids immediately stepped forward, helped him to a chair and sat down.

At this moment, Huo Lei was brought in by the eunuch covered in blood.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground, crawled in and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince was killed by a thief. You must avenge him."

When Mo Yue saw Huo Lei back, she asked:

"Huo Lei, how did you escape? Where is Prime Minister Fan Chong? Didn't he escape?"

When Huo Lei saw that the princess was back safely, he said with some joy:

"It's good that the princess is back. I thought you were in trouble with His Highness. After I covered you for His Highness to escape, you were surrounded by a group of thieves. Prime Minister Fan Chong was finally killed by the thieves. I escaped. After those people, they searched everywhere for the whereabouts of you and His Highness the Prince. It wasn’t until I saw His Highness’s body beside the woods that I knew that the Prince had… been killed.”

Princess Mo Yue said to Huo Lei;

"Huo Lei, do you know who killed the emperor's brother?"

Huo Lei looked at Princess Moyue and said:

"Who is it? I see that these people are well-trained, and they also have archers in their hands. They must not be ordinary thieves."

Princess Mo Yue said bitterly:

"Those thieves who killed us are our Xiliang Marshal Zhang Zonglin."

"What, it's Zhang Zonglin. The princess is talking about Zhang Zonglin. Does he want to put us to death? Your Majesty, please give me a troop of soldiers and horses. I'm going to take off the head of this thief. Come on. Pay homage to His Highness the Prince."

The emperor suppressed the great grief in his heart and said to him:

"Okay, Huo Lei, I will mobilize an army for you and go immediately to capture Zhang Zonglin and avenge my dear son."

Huo Lei was about to stand up and leave when he heard Jiang Chen say something:

"Has the King of Xiliang ever thought that Zhang Zonglin has 10,000+ troops at his disposal? You only sent General Huo to lead the troops. Do you think Zhang Zonglin is so stupid? He will wait for you to catch him and then capture him without mercy?"

The King of Xiliang had already noticed Jiang Chen in front of him, but he was immersed in the huge pain of losing his son and could not care about his existence.

Seeing that he had doubts about the order he gave, he asked him:

"Who are you? How dare you dictate my orders?"

When Princess Moyue saw her father asking about Jiang Chen, she quickly stepped forward and said to her father:

"Father, his name is Li Chen, and he is my friend. He risked his life to rescue me from the tiger's mouth. Then he took care of me all the way and sent me back to you and my mother."

After the King of Xiliang listened to his daughter’s introduction, he said to Jiang Chen:

"It turns out that you were the one who rescued the princess. I will definitely reward you generously in the future. But you just stopped me from sending Huo Lei to lead troops to catch the murderer. Do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Jiang Chen stepped forward and saluted:

"Your Majesty, the general is outside, and the military orders are not given. You think that someone who dares to kill even the future prince shows that he has long been disobedient. It is obvious that he planned to kill the prince. In this matter, maybe he has already had the idea of ​​replacing him. Your Majesty sent people to capture him, will he just surrender and fall into the trap? Your Majesty, don't forget that he is in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border. You Can General Huo be brought back to the capital by sending a team of soldiers and horses?"

The King of Xiliang glanced at Jiang Chen and said:

"Ah? Then according to your opinion, if he killed my son, should I just treat it as if nothing happened?"

Jiang Chen looked at the King of Xiliang and said:

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Don't say that you are the Lord of Xiliang. Even if a child from an ordinary family is killed, the parents will go to the enemy to fight for their lives. What's more, His Highness the Prince is responsible for the future prince. This killing How can you not avenge your son? If you want to avenge me, you have to think of a perfect plan."

Emperor Xiliang looked at him and asked:

"Then what do you think is the best way to avenge this crime? I'd really like to hear your opinion."

Jiang Chen continued to say to him:

"Zhang Zonglin's purpose of killing His Highness is self-evident. Didn't he just want to replace him and finally ascend the throne of Xiliang King? Then you will issue an edict saying that the prince has passed away. You are filled with grief and have fallen ill. , you have no interest in politics now and want to pass on the throne to him. If he wants to inherit the throne, he will definitely come when the time comes. As long as he returns to the capital, your majesty can come to catch the turtle and capture him in one fell swoop. This way It’s effortless, so why do something so futile?”
