He didn't want to find someone to discuss it, but he was a little confused and couldn't tell outsiders, so he found a place by himself and thought it over carefully.

The crown prince said that Yao Bin was not ignorant of the impeachment of King Shun by all the officials, but his words were light and there was no evidence. Even if he knew that the Liu family deserved what they deserved, he only dared to discuss it with his son in private, but he did not dare to say it to the public. I hope that King Shun will present the whole story of the case of the Liu family, so that the faces of these nonsense ministers will be swollen, and I will tell him to watch the fun, but I don’t want to wait for the memorial to come. a newspaper.

Yao Bin may not be very smart, but he is not stupid either. It has been so long since the case of Liu's family, even the snow has melted, and even his servants have entered Chang'an once, but there is no memorial from King Shun. , and then think of what the servants said about the strict interrogation at the city gate, and those who catch people from the north will be carefully interrogated, especially those from Mozhou, how can they not understand, it must be that the prince did not want this memorial to be seen by the emperor, so he stopped it .

Thinking of the power of the crown prince, Yao Bin's heart beats like a drum, but when he thinks of those rare things that King Shun ordered people to control, his heart burns again, making him in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

Yao Bin sat on the chair in the inner hall for more than an hour, his waist was sore and his legs were numb before he made up his mind.

The crown prince's power is indeed terrifying, but King Shun is not a man of mud. Otherwise, why did the officials seize the opportunity to impeach him? Isn't it just that King Shun was hurt and frightened when he was in Chang'an? This is revenge.

Although King Shun seems to have a much better temper now, he didn't offend him, and he has a lot of work to do. Yao Bin doesn't believe that the crown prince and these ministers have bullied him. He will swallow his anger, and although he has nothing to do now , maybe there is a plan.

Besides, he is not so stupid to offend the prince openly, so he just handed this newspaper to the Thai king's mansion. Whether it is delivered to the palace or not is none of his business. He was doing King Shun a favor. With King Yishun's temperament, he would definitely remember him if he had something good in the future.

The more he thought about it, the more determined Yao Bin wanted to help King Shun. He wished he could go to the Shangtai Palace with a newspaper in his pocket right now. A neat excuse.

Yao Bin suppressed his thoughts and anxiously waited for his son to return from his job, so that he and he could go to the Thai Palace generously under the pretext of giving gifts to the Thai Palace.

Yao Bin was sitting in the inner hall, and Pang Lin and the others who walked outside the city in the mountains all the way, finally met King Qi's men.

Pang Lin and the others were all injured, and they were all martial arts practitioners. They looked very fierce, and the clothes that marked their identities rolled in the muddy water. At first glance, they looked like bandits who wanted to rob their way. Even though the strong men knew that it was not easy to meet bandits on the edge of Chang'an City, they were startled and pulled out the saber from their waists with a bang. Miss Yang, if she doesn't say anything, she will slash her with a knife.

After all, thieves and robbers can't bring a weak female relative, even so, a few strong men didn't dare to take it lightly, looked at Pang Lin and others vigilantly, and didn't dare to let them approach, and shouted loudly from a long distance away. : "Who! What are you doing here! Do you have a guide token to show your identity? If not, don't blame the swords in your hands when you go forward."

Pang Lin and the others followed the horseshoe prints all the way and finally found someone. They were both anxious and happy. They were anxious because they were afraid that the other guards would be caught up by the dead. They were happy because they saw King Qi now. People, it can be regarded as being able to successfully complete the matter that His Highness explained.

Although Pang Lin's injuries were not as serious as those of the other guards, his mouth was not shallow. After such a delay for two days and one night, he lost a lot of blood. When he was so relaxed, he felt a little dizzy. Fortunately, he had some breath in his heart. Thinking about it, he could barely pull himself together, he was afraid that he would have to fight if he walked a few steps closer, so he hurriedly stopped, took out the token of the Shun Palace from his pocket and held it up high for them to see. Loudly said: "The next few are the guards next to His Royal Highness Shun Wang. He escorted Miss Yang back to Chang'an under the order of His Royal Highness King Shun. He didn't want to meet bandits on the road. He was robbed of his belongings and seriously injured. He had no choice but to come here. Ask His Royal Highness Qi Wang for help."

Meeting bandits, being robbed of property, asking for help from their highness?The strong men were amazed and half-believed when they heard it. They stared at the token carefully for a while, and then looked at each other for a while, before a guard named Li Ergou whispered. : "The token looks like it is undoubtedly from the Shun Palace, but since these people are from the Shun Palace, how can there be bandits who dare to rob them? Besides, how close is it to Chang'an City, since they can find Come here, why don't you go directly to the city? Instead, spend more time asking for help from His Highness? Could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

They didn't think that someone would deliberately get close to King Qi under the guise of Prince Shun's Mansion. After all, this place is at the foot of the emperor. Although their highness is a prince, they don't care about it. Besides, their highness likes to play a lot on weekdays. However, unlike King Shun, who often made enemies with others, he really couldn't think of any reason to assassinate King Qi, but for the sake of caution, several people still kept Pang Lin and others from getting close, and still looked on guard, and said loudly: "You said that you are from the Shun Palace. Since you are from the Shun Palace, how could you be robbed by bandits? Besides, this place is so close to Chang'an City, why don't you go directly to the city? Instead, come to find our Highness? I See if you are not telling the truth, or you are pretending, so hurry up and tell the truth."

Pang Lin and the others had already discussed the countermeasures on the way here, so they were not in a hurry when they heard this questioning, but they were anxious in their hearts, and their tone was unavoidable, showing a wry smile: "Don't say that you don't believe it, even if Even our brothers are also like a dream, we just thought that the errand was simple when we went out on errands, so we brought fewer people, who knew that we would be targeted by bandits, who would say that we were impostors, since we were from the Shun Palace People are escorting the female relatives on the road, so why don't we bring more people and kill them without any explanation? If we weren't weak in kung fu, we would have been hacked to death by those bandits long ago. As for why we didn't go to the city, brothers and sisters Look at our appearance, no matter where we dare to enter the city, we must not cause any trouble. The most important thing is that our highness has repeatedly explained that we must be careful when escorting Miss Yang into the city, so as not to attract the attention of others. If we enter the city like this, let us His Highness knows, according to His Highness's temperament, there is no way for our brothers to survive."

Pang Lin smiled wryly as he spoke, and the strong men who listened to him were a little suspicious, but suddenly lost three or four points, and felt a little bit of sympathy.

After all, none of them can understand King Shun's temper. He dared to beat people in front of the Holy One, not to mention a few small guards. , it’s no wonder that a few people were scared to go into the city, and they insisted on taking a long way to find King Qi. Then they would dress up and follow King Qi into the city. It’s really not easy to attract people’s attention. Maybe it only takes some flesh and blood to get rid of it.

But sympathy is all sympathy, what should be asked is still to be asked, and the strong men turned their eyes to Miss Yang who was standing on the side with her head bowed, and looked up and down, but there was no hidden weapon. She was just an ordinary girl, her expression became more relaxed, and she asked, "Is this the Miss Yang you are talking about?"

Although the strong man only asked one question, but everyone is a guard, and they all watch the same work on weekdays. Pang Lin could not understand what he meant, and when the strong man finished speaking, he said: "Exactly, this Yang The girl is also a poor person. When she was young, she separated from her family and was kidnapped and sold to Mozhou. She was rescued by my highness a few days ago. His highness pitied her for her poor life, and heard that she grew up in Chang'an when she was young. She was born in an official family, so I sent her to escort her back to Chang'an, and wanted to help her find her relatives, but I was afraid that if her relatives were not found, someone might have other intentions, so I told us to be careful and not to provoke others Notice."

It turned out that she was looking for relatives for someone, and she was kidnapped and sold. No wonder she had to be so careful. Besides, if the woman was kidnapped and sold, where could she sell it? King Shun was afraid that there would be some rumors and the officials would impeach her. one time.

The few brawny men understood, and the expressions on their faces eased up a lot. Although the gossip was a little scratchy, they didn't dare to ask, so they had to hold back. When he got closer, he took the knife out of his hand back into its sheath, and said: "The brothers came at the right time, and it just so happened that His Royal Highness Qi Wang was hunting in the mountains today, but most of the prey is hidden now, so it is hard to find, Qi His Royal Highness will have to spend some more time. If you won’t come down for a while, why don’t you brothers wait here first, so that we can help wrap the wound. Although we don’t have much medical skills, we still carry wounds with us. Medicine, it won’t be too late to get a cure after returning to the city.”

As they spoke, the strong men took out the medicine bags hidden in their waists, and were about to bandage them, but Pang Lin and the others had no idea, and asked anxiously: "Do you guys know where His Royal Highness King Qi is?" ? It is indeed an errand that His Highness has repeatedly instructed, and we dare not delay."

You don't dare to delay, and we don't dare to disturb you. When the strong men heard what he said, their faces became a little ugly, but they were working with His Highness, and they knew it was not easy, so they suppressed their anger and said: "I I know that some brothers are in a hurry to run errands, but it is not good to disturb His Highness's interest because of this errand, so you just stay here and wait patiently with us for a while, and when His Highness is happy, you will come down the mountain naturally."

Having said that, Pang Lin also knew that they could not help any more, but he was unwilling to do so, and was about to say a few more words, when he heard the horse tethered to the side bark twice again, and Pang Lin and the others were standing beside him. Inside, all the people's faces changed, and they didn't care about any more injuries. They drew out their waist weapons and looked around vigilantly. Li Ergou even shouted: "Is there anyone behind you who didn't follow up?" ?”

Naturally, some of them didn't follow, but that person went to Zhuangzi outside King Qi's city, and would never come here anyway, so if it wasn't them, who else could it be?

Pang Lin wanted to understand this, his face turned pale in an instant, and his hand holding the knife was clenched even tighter. He never thought that these people would be so bold that they had found King Qi's men. , dare to catch up.

Pang Lin was shocked, and he felt a lot of guilt. He had implicated the guards around King Qi. If he lost for a while, he only hoped that he could hold on for a while, so that he would have a chance to get the account book out. Hand it over to these guards, cover them and rush out and hand it to King Qi.

Thinking of this, Pang Lin felt so tragic for a while, and was thinking about how to take the opportunity to explain to the guards around Qi Wang, when he heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, Pang Lin still Before he could react, Li Ergou and the guards beside King Qi relaxed, and said with some joy and surprise: "His Highness is back, why did His Highness come down so early today, isn't it always here on weekdays?" Are you willing to go down the mountain at sunset? Could it be that you are lucky today and hunted something good?"

Having said that, several old guards who were left here who were extremely pitiful before all greeted them energetically, Pang Lin was also very excited, and when the few old guards were too happy to talk to them, they quietly He gave the accompanying colleagues a wink. Those colleagues had been paying attention to him all the time. When they received his wink, they immediately understood and nodded in a subtle way. Even Miss Yang nodded slightly. head.

They were arguing with each other in the background, and the guards walked happily talking, and sure enough, they saw a dozen people riding horses from far to near. Today's sixth prince, His Highness King Qi.

His Royal Highness Qi Wang is not very old, and his temper is still jumpy. Looking at Li Ergou and others from afar, he smiled and shouted: "Look at what this king is hunting today? Sure enough, today is a good day for hunting. Before the people could look for prey, a hungry blind man slammed into the door by himself, and after a while entered the city, this king will take the blind man to the Fifth Emperor's mansion to have fun."

It was said to be lively, but in fact it was to show off. Li Ergou and the others knew it well, so they hurriedly laughed and flattered a bunch of words that Wang Qi loved to hear.

King Qi was in a very good mood today, and he couldn't help laughing a few times when he heard these flattering words, and said a few words about the danger he encountered when he was hunting the blind man just now, only then did he notice the person who was following behind Li Ergou Pang Lin and the others couldn't help being a little surprised, and frowned: "Who are these people? This king looks vaguely familiar? Could it be that they were serving by this king's side? But what's the matter with the blood? This female family member, I don’t remember that this king brought a girl with me when I went out to hunt in the city, could it be a villager from a nearby village?”

When Qi Wang mentioned this, Li Ergou and the strong men thought of Pang Lin and the others, and hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness, these people are the guards next to His Highness King Shun, and they are escorted by His Highness King Shun's order." This girl returned to Chang'an, she didn't want to run into a thief on the road, get robbed of her belongings, and get injured again, and she was afraid of going into the city to cause some trouble, so she asked His Highness for help?"

Hearing Li Ergou said that he was the guard next to King Shun, Qi Wang suddenly realized, and then he heard that he had met a thief, his eyes lit up, he drove his horse forward a few steps, and looked down at him with great interest. Pang Lin said: "Meet the thief? Where is it? How many are there? What kind of weapon do you use? How good is your martial arts?"

After King Qi asked a series of questions, not only did Pang Lin sweat coldly on his forehead, but the other ten guards who served King Qi also looked nervous. They have served King Qi for so many years, but they knew that this The prince's temperament, he was aroused, and wanted to learn from those generals who suppressed bandits, so he also went to suppress bandits once.

King Qi can't be allowed to follow his temper, otherwise they won't have enough heads to lose. Thinking of this, more than a dozen guards and guards didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off their anxious faces, and tried their best to wink at Pang Lin.

Naturally, Pang Lin could see it clearly, but he didn't know what it meant for a while, so he couldn't help being a little dazed, but King Qi's question still had to be answered, so he couldn't help thinking for a moment in his heart, hesitatingly said: "If you go back to Your Highness, this group of thieves Quite a few, martial arts are considered high-strength, but it is quite far away from Chang'an, and what's more, I heard that those thieves seem to be running around, and now I don't know where they went to do evil, even if I remember being robbed by those thieves I'm afraid I won't be able to find the place."

King Qi felt a little regretful when he heard the words, but the other guards heaved a sigh of relief, and all looked at Pang Lin with admiring eyes, and Pang Lin couldn't help but feel more at a loss.

Although it was a pity that he could not suppress the bandits, Qi Wang was still very interested. On the way down the mountain, he asked a lot about those bandits. Only then was a little unsatisfied, and asked: "You follow the Three Emperor Brothers' vassal. Are there many such things in the fief? This king has heard that the people's livelihood in the Three Emperor Brothers' fief is poor, and the people are vicious. Those who occupy mountains and become kings and lose grass and bandits are better than others." More elsewhere, but really?"

Pang Lin asked Qi Wang to pester him and said so much, and now he couldn't help but have a headache when he heard Qi Wang's question, but when he heard this sentence, his heart moved, he hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "His Highness Qi Wang said What's more, His Royal Highness Shun's fief is located in a remote area, mostly dry fields, and next to the grasslands of Manzi, the people are naturally more miserable than those in other places. One is that the Manzi plunders the border from time to time, and the other is that the fields do not produce much. , can’t get enough food and clothing throughout the year, and the third is that the officials of the aristocratic family have committed evil.”

"Officials of aristocratic families commit evil?" Qi Wang was startled. Although he knew that there were many corrupt officials in the world, he did not expect such blatant ones. Brother Sanhuang has the final say, so is it possible that a few corrupt officials can’t be punished?”

Seeing that King Qi followed his words, Pang Lin couldn't help feeling a little excited, and almost blurted out the truth. Fortunately, he suddenly came to his senses when he was about to speak, and changed his words dangerously, saying: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang said Yes, His Royal Highness Shun Wang is a vassal king, so naturally he will not be unable to deal with a few corrupt officials. Not to mention, His Royal Highness Shun Wang recently disposed of the Liu family in Mozhou. This girl Yang is His Royal Highness Shun Wang from the Liu family. She was rescued, so she knew Miss Yang's life experience, so she sent a villain to escort her back to Chang'an, so that she could find her relatives and fulfill her wish."

Liu family?King Qi's eyelids twitched when he heard this, thinking of the rumors in Chang'an City these days, and remembering the words that his father had reprimanded King Shun many times in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't the Liu family offend Brother Sanhuang with words without meaning? Brother Sanhuang ransacked his house and took people away in a fit of anger? Could it be that there is something hidden in it? It’s not that the Liu family provoked Brother Three Emperor’s anger and caused some disasters, but that Brother Three Emperor has dealt with it because they have done evil and harmed the people?”

Pang Lin and the others traveled thousands of miles to reach the edge of Chang'an City, and had never entered the city. Naturally, they didn't know these things. Hearing this, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and their knees almost went limp, kneeling on the ground with a pale face. He said in a panic: "Where did His Royal Highness Qi come from? The Liu family collected [-]% of the rent in the fiefdom, forcing many tenants to sell their sons and daughters. They also set up gambling houses and set up traps to force many people to ruin their families. Cheng kidnapped many sons and daughters of good families and forced them into prostitution, which offended His Royal Highness Shun Wang and seized them. Miss Yang was the victim of the Liu family. If it weren't for His Highness Shun Wang, Miss Yang would not be out of the clutches now. "

"Oh?" Qi Wang was even more surprised, "Are you serious? If so, why don't there be any rumors in Chang'an, but there are rumors everywhere that the Three Emperors bully others and seize people's property because they want to seize their property? What do you think?" Is there any evidence for what you said? Brother Sanhuang told you to send someone to Chang'an, so he didn't hand over any evidence of crime to you?"

Pang Linyuan just wanted to say a few words first, as a foreshadowing, so that King Qi would not be too surprised or angry when he entered the city, but he didn't want King Qi to look like a smart person on weekdays. But it hit the nail on the head and completely disrupted his plan. It was impossible to tell him to prevaricate or tell the truth. After thinking for a while, Pang Lin finally gritted his teeth and knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness Qi, please forgive me. Looking for His Highness is not just to ask His Highness for help, but to beg His Highness for something, and not to hide it from His Highness, His Highness Shun sent the villain this time, and indeed handed over the evidence of the crime to the villain, Your Highness, please take a look."

Pang Lin didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took out the hidden account book from his arms as he spoke, and held it over with both hands.

Qi Wang was surprised in his heart, and he just said it casually. He didn't want Pang Lin to really hand over the evidence. I'm not big, but I'm quite courageous. I want to ask this king for help, but I still hide it and lie to me. Is it because I'm afraid that this king will find out and stand by? But from this point of view, I'm afraid that you were robbed by bandits earlier. It's also fake."

King Qi glanced at Pang Lin like a knife, and Pang Lin's scalp was numb with fright, and he was about to say something more, but King Qi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you are doing business for Brother Sanhuang, This king will spare you this time, but you have to tell me clearly about the cause and effect of this matter, if you have another half-truth, you can’t blame this king.”

Qi Wang was open, and revealed that he wanted to help. Pang Lin dared not tell the truth, and hurriedly thanked Qi Wang, and then told the matter in detail, "The young one and his colleagues escorted Miss Yang. The criminal evidence with the Liu family went back to Chang'an. At the beginning, the journey was peaceful, but after entering Jinzhou, it was not peaceful. Fighting all the way, there were only seven or eight brothers left, and they were escorted along the way. The Liu family’s criminal evidence has also been lost, and now only this account book and the memorial written by His Royal Highness Shun Wang are left. There is nowhere to hide, so I have to come to His Highness for help."

When King Qi first saw them covered in blood, he knew that something was unusual. Now that he said it, it seemed that he had expected it a long time ago, and it was not surprising. He just closed the account book and thought of something. After a while, he sighed: "I see you Brother Sanhuang knew that something would happen sooner or later when he sent the gift to the palace, and now it seems that it is indeed the case, no matter what, it will come sooner or later..."

King Qi sighed again as he spoke, raised his head and looked in the direction of Chang'an City for a moment, then turned back and said: "Since I promised you to intervene in this matter, naturally I won't just sit idly by, but with your blood-stained appearance You can't follow me into the city, it's still early, you follow me to Zhuangzi outside the city to heal the wound, then change your clothes and make them neater before entering the city, as for this girl, let's change into men's clothes , although this matter cannot be concealed, it will be known sooner or later, but if it can be concealed for a moment, it can be regarded as allowing more time for the king to act."

Saying so, the group carried King Qi down the mountain to Zhuangzi outside the city. When they walked halfway up the mountain and were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Li Ergou, the guard at the front, suddenly discovered something and reined in his horse abruptly. , carefully looked at a string of footprints on the side of the road.

Seeing this, King Qi also stopped, and then looked over there twice, only saw a few ordinary footprints, but didn't see anything, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "What's wrong? But what's wrong?"

Li Ergou didn't dare to be negligent when he heard King Qi's question, so he glanced again and hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate sees that the footprints are not right. When this subordinate and others follow His Highness up the mountain, they all Riding a horse up the mountain, no one dismounted and walked, and these brothers chased the horse's hoof prints up the mountain, and there were only four of them. No matter what, they couldn't make so many footprints. Moreover, these footprints were light and shallow, obviously With martial arts in his body, he doesn't look like a hunter hunting in the mountains, his subordinates are afraid of..."

When Li Ergou said this, he was worried, and his expression was a little nervous, and he was very vigilant when he looked around from the corner of his eyes.

Hearing his words and seeing his appearance, there was nothing that everyone present could not understand, so they immediately formed an array and surrounded Qi Wang in the middle, looking around intently, and some guards asked : "His Royal Highness, this subordinate fears that this group of people will be unkind, so Your Highness should go back to the village first, and this group of thieves will be handed over to my subordinates to arrest."

King Qi subconsciously wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "This king is just a prince, and he has never held any important positions in the court, and he has never had any grudges with others on weekdays. They came here, but they came for this account book, thinking that no matter how daring they are, they would not dare to attack this king, let’s ignore him for now, and make plans after this king returns to the city."

Although the man was eager to make contributions, he didn't dare to disobey King Qi's intentions, so he agreed reluctantly in his heart, and hurried to a Zhuangzi outside the city.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, there was a lot of chaos in the village, and people came in and out. They didn't expect that King Qi would bring people over at this time. The king didn't bother to question the crime, he waved his hands to make people stand up, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Zhuangzi? Is it possible that my king's Zhuangzi still dares to seek bad luck?"

Zhuangtou is a steward sent by his palace. He is in his forties or fifties. He looked very honest, and replied: "If you go back to your highness, Zhuangzi belongs to your highness. Naturally, no one dares to make trouble. He is from the village today. Going out to tend the fields, I picked up two seriously injured people by the side of the field. Originally, the younger one planned to hire a doctor to report to the official, but he didn't want a token of Shun Wangfu to fall out of the man, and the younger one panicked for a moment. That's right, this made the Zhuangzi a little flustered, and I ask your highness to come down."

This kind of thing is not Zhuangtou's fault, so how could he be punished? King Qi waved his hands casually and sent someone to lead the way. As he walked in, he asked, "These two people also came to Chang'an with you, right?" , you are careful, and you know that the army is divided into two groups, but if the king did not go out of the city to hunt or come to Zhuangzi today, what should you do?"

How can that be?There is no other way out, either continue to hide in the ruined temple, or take the risk and find an opportunity to enter the city.

Pang Lin was concerned about the safety of the other two colleagues, so he didn't dare to waste time, so he just said what he thought in his heart. King Qi laughed when he heard this, but didn't say anything else, just quickened his pace, and went to the guest room to see After glancing at the injuries of the two, they went to the inner hall, casually ordered Pang Lin and the others to change their clothes, and then called the head of the village to ask the household about the discovery of the two.

Zhuangtou also knew that this matter was unusual, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and he was afraid that he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply called the farmer over and told Qi Wang carefully, "Little one got up today as usual. Waiting on those watered fields, as soon as I got to the ground, I saw two people lying there from a distance. The soil on the ground was soaked in blood. The little one thought that the two were dead when he walked over, so he was so frightened that he turned around and went back to the village. Calling for someone, I realized that I was not dead when I saw one of them move their hands. Originally, I didn't want to take care of His Highness, so I wanted to go back to the village to call someone to report to the official. Later, I found a dead body under one of them. Token, the villain looked like the family of a dignitary, and he was afraid that he would die there if he delayed any longer, and he would not be able to explain clearly, so he let the bull led by the little one come back alone, and the little one himself After memorizing one, the rest will be dealt with by Zhuangtou."

After the man finished speaking, Zhuangtou hurriedly told what he did later, King Qi didn't show any expression after hearing it, and just asked the Zhuanghu: "Apart from these two people, did you see other people?" Did you hear something?"

The farmer thought about it carefully, then shook his head after a while and said, "The little one didn't see anyone, and he didn't hear anything."

After asking all the questions that should be asked here, King Qi sent the two of them down, and ordered Pang Lin and the others to urge Pang Lin and the others. Once they changed their clothes, they immediately rode back to the city without delay.

If it was normal, King Qi would always go back to the palace to wash up when he came back from outside the city, and then he would go to Thailand palace to show off the wild game he had hunted. The palace, as soon as it entered the city gate, went straight to the Thai palace.

When he arrived, the king of Thailand was sitting in the flower hall, sipping the white wine given to him by King Shun during the New Year's Eve, watching the beauties of Xinna dancing, he was so happy, he was thinking of his restless sixth brother. Hunting outside the city, today I can finally relax for a day, no longer ask him to toss, and my ears can be quieter, who knows that it is only half an afternoon, and a servant reports it, and immediately pulls his face down, thinking of hearing it on weekdays Those words made me feel a dull pain in my head, but no matter how reluctant I was, I had no choice but to wave my hand to let people go down, and quickly asked people to remove the white wine and replace it with fruit wine that is not easy to offend, and then stood up to welcome the guests out.

King Tai is only one year older than King Qi, but his body shape is much worse. Before he could walk a few steps, King Qi arrived in a big stride. Normally, he would laugh at him because of this, but today he has a straight face. , Didn't talk or laugh until he sat down in the flower hall.

The king of Thailand grew up with him, so he didn't know his temperament. He knew that something big had happened when he saw his appearance, and hurriedly waved his hand to send everyone away. Then he rubbed his forehead and asked, "What is your name today?" What's the matter? But you didn't have a good time hunting? Did you hear something that made you unhappy? But it's not right, but I heard someone say that you were lucky and beat a blind bear today. Are you mad?"

Not to mention the crown prince is fine, but as soon as the crown prince Qi Wang was mentioned, his eyelids twitched heavily, his whole face darkened instantly, he slapped the account book presented to him by Pang Lin and the memorial written by King Shun on the mahogany table, and said angrily: " See for yourself."

Although King Qi's temperament is a bit more outrageous and not calm enough, he seldom loses his temper like this. King Tai cried out in his heart, and faintly had some bad premonitions. To say something, I had to take a look at the account books and memorials he had slapped on the table.

After looking at it for nearly an hour, the king of Thailand changed his face from rosy to pale, and his headache got worse. He stood up and went to the door to give a few words, then sat back on the chair, and was silent for a moment. Asked: "What do you want?"

After such an hour passed, King Qi calmed down quite a bit, but he was still very angry, and said angrily: "What else can I do? Naturally, I will hand over the account books and memorials to the royal father, and let the royal father decide. I didn't know before." , let him wrong the third brother, but now that I know, can I just sit back and ignore it?"

Although King Tai was prepared in his heart, he still felt a headache when he heard this answer. He sighed and persuaded: "I know that you are angry in your heart, and I know that it is wrong for him to wrong the third brother, but you and I are just idlers. The prince is not valued by the emperor, let alone he is powerful in Chang'an city, why bother to get involved in this matter? Besides, in a few years, we will be able to become a vassal, and when we can't say it, we have to rely on him Say a few good words in front of the father, although he is doing such things now that it is harmful to the third brother's reputation, but the father just reprimanded him, and he didn't care about the third brother who was far away in Mozhou. The number of times of punishment is also quite a lot, and it’s not bad if it’s more or less. In my opinion, you’d better forget about it. Otherwise, in Chang’an City, if we are hated by him, how can we live a peaceful life? Don’t you Think for yourself, and also think about the concubine mother who is still in the palace."

King Tai's words can be regarded as heart-to-heart, and it is indeed for the sake of King Qi, but King Qi saw that the prince was not going well, so how could he listen to it, and retorted: "He is in full bloom now, but the father is still in good health. Now, he is farther away from covering the sky with one hand, and now he dares to be so bold before he succeeds to the throne. After he succeeds, can we still have a good life? Besides, so what if we are a feudal clan in the future? He has a piece of edict Tell us to come back, if you don’t come back, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave this Chang’an city again, but if you don’t come back, disrespecting the holy order is tantamount to treason, will there be any way for us to survive then?”

King Qi wanted to say this for a long time, but although he was bold, he was not stupid, so he kept it in his heart and never said it. Today, he was really irritated by King Shun's incident, so he said it without hesitation. .

Sure enough, the king of Thailand was shocked when he heard it, and he looked like you are crazy. After recovering, he hurried to the window and took a look outside. Watching, no one approached, so he breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the chair and said angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about, he was established as the crown prince, if he succeeds, who can succeed?" Sir, if your words spread today, what are you waiting for if there is no way out in the future? I am afraid that you and I will not survive this year. I used to see that although you have a temper, you are not troublesome. Who knows that you are usually Don't cause trouble, this trouble will be a big disaster, do you still remember me, mother and concubine in the palace?"

Qi Wang told King Tai to scold so harshly, the anger welling up in his heart was immediately extinguished, but he was still unwilling to bow his head and said: "Could it be that I was wrong? He looks like a wise man. Although the third brother often fought with people in Chang'an City, he still respected him very much. Now that he has done something wrong and was sent to such a remote place, it is already pitiful enough, and he can't tolerate it , can we accommodate you and me in the future?"

King Tai didn't speak when he heard that, King Qi said again: "Furthermore, the third brother didn't do anything that angered people, but he just dealt with a branch of a family that harmed the people. As a prince, it’s fine if you don’t reward him, how can he do things that turn black and white, do you believe that such a person will be a wise king in the future?”
