Chapter 482 Kill one first?
Prince Beijing looked Chang Ying up and down, with a smile on his face but a look of contempt: "You, it seems like you only came to serve me for a few days after Qing Hai left, and then left again."
"Isn't Eunuch Changying a eunuch of His Royal Highness Prince Duan? Why does he come to serve in the Zichen Palace one after another?" Prince Consort Changning looked at him strangely.
Chang Ying bowed his hands, smiling, "What the Northern King said is right, and what the Prince Consort said is right.
"Not everyone can do the work in the Purple Palace. The emperor should try to find out who is suitable and who is not.
"My master Qinghai is now in charge of the Imperial Mausoleum, which is a serious matter that can only be handled properly if it is seen by someone. I would like to go and see it for myself, but unfortunately I don't have the ability."
Although no one refuted it, they also explained it.
But the first explanation is "it's none of your business"; the second one is to protect Qinghai and prevent them from really thinking of Qinghai as being demoted.
The childish words made the princes outside, who had been struggling with being overweight for half their lives, laugh.
Prince Xiaoyao took the opportunity to say, "I saw that Chen Duo, who had captured Jia Jing and Zhen, had also been standing in the Purple Palace for two days. Could it be that the Emperor still wants that person to be his personal attendant?"
Chang Ying's eyes twitched slightly, revealing a sinister look, but his face pretended to be surprised:
"What Jia Jing, what Zhen Shi, why are they arresting people again? I don't know! Where did King Xiaoyao hear about this?"
That night at Prince Nan's Mansion, if Prince Xiaoyao was truly not involved in the incident, he should not have known about these things, and even if he heard about them he should have pretended not to know!
Asking such a question at this time is really stupid!
Prince Beijing really couldn't help it and glanced over lightly with a warning look.
King Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly and took half a step back.
Just standing next to King Shen.
King Shen patted his shoulder and said gently, "Don't be so curious. Stay out of other people's business."
King Xiaoyao looked at him gratefully and said, "Yes, thank you, Brother Fifteen."
Duke Dongping and Duke Xining stood together, hiding in the distance. Seeing the undercurrents between these people, they looked at each other meaningfully.
Chang Ying waited for everyone to come to his senses before he smiled and invited them in: "My Lords, Dukes, please follow me."
The moment the door to the Purple Palace opened, everyone could hear the faint sound of a woman crying:
"I won't leave! I won't leave unless the emperor agrees!"
Emperor Chongzhao, who was sitting high on the throne, could hardly hold back his expression. He turned his head and coughed heavily.
The sound of the small door leading to the side hall behind the screen opening and closing gently was heard, and after a moment, the sound of the main door of the side hall opening and closing was heard.
Everyone was whispering in their hearts: He is finally gone.
"Greetings to His Majesty." Everyone bowed and bowed.
Emperor Chongzhao smiled and held out his hand: "The good round tea in Fujian, the imperial cuisine is made with milk, the good milk tea.
"I'm drinking something new, please come and try it."
This is the way to drink tea on the grassland, with oil and salt added, it has a strange taste. Southerners who are used to drinking plain tea find it very difficult to accept.
But when the royal family launched an uprising in the northeast, the royal family actually had the habit of drinking milk tea, so several clan members were accustomed to it and could even comment on whether the proportion of salt and oil added was reasonable.
At this moment, the two groups are clearly divided.
Emperor Chongzhao looked at them with a smile and said slowly:
"It turns out that our dynasty has lasted for nearly a hundred years, but you, my dear ministers, still can't change your habits!
“I think so.
"No wonder. From the time I moved into the Eastern Palace, to the time I ascended the throne in April, to today, it has only been about ten years.
"No wonder the court, as well as the important officials of the royal family, are unwilling to take me seriously."
The words were blunt and serious.
Everyone stood up and knelt down again, begging the emperor not to think too much: "Your Majesty is diligent in governing the country, generous and benevolent, and is a wise and holy ruler whom we all respect. Who dares not to obey?"
"The Jia family dares to disobey." Emperor Chongzhao said lightly, and Changying held Jia Zhen and Jia She's confessions in both hands, walked down the stairs, and presented them to King Jing, who had the highest seniority.
Unexpectedly, King Jing didn't even look at it and waved his hand: "My eyes are blurry."
Changying was then presented to Prince Consort Yongchang - Princess Yongchang was the first daughter of the Emperor Taishang and had passed away many years ago. In fact, all the living princes were her brothers.
Prince Consort Yongchang had just been scolded, and although he wanted to know what the two arrested people had said, he had just been scolded, and knew that he should learn from Prince Jing and not get involved, so he forced a smile and said:
"I'm old, and my eyesight has been blurry lately. I can't see clearly, so you don't have to give it to me."
King Yong was getting impatient listening to it, so he reached out and grabbed it: "Let me read it!"
Chang Ying's wrist sank, and he said in a fuss: "Your Highness, please be careful. This is the original copy. There is only one copy. If you damage it, it will be gone!"
Prince Yong hummed, and his strength was indeed a little lighter, but he still insisted on taking it. He stood between Prince Jing and Prince Consort Yongchang, and read in a low voice.
Everyone then quietly moved over and listened with their ears tilted.
"…My younger brother Jia Zheng held a secret meeting with the Northern King and isolated me from the outside. Three days later, my minister Jia Lian left the capital and his whereabouts are unknown.
"…Forward two letters to the Zhen family in Jiangnan, one for the King of the North and one for the nurse of the King of Xiaoyao.
"…At my mother's birthday banquet, the Dukes of the East and West and the King of the North borrowed my study room for a secret meeting. I, your humble servant, my brother Jia Zheng, and my nephew Jia Zhen sat in halfway through the meeting and criticized the important officials in the court. The Dukes of the Two Kingdoms said that the new crown prince was narrow-minded and rigid in his actions, and might not be able to tolerate us, so we must make preparations early."
Everyone looked pale.
I stole a glance at Emperor Chongzhao who was sitting in the upper seat, but saw that he looked normal and was drinking milk tea with his head down.
The Duke of Dongguo was the first to kneel down: "Your Majesty, I will die!"
He actually admitted it!
Emperor Chongzhao was so amused that he came to the conclusion:
Well, this one is timid.
The Duke of the West and Prince Beijing both looked at the Duke of the East with unfriendly eyes.
Duke Xi thought about it and it seemed that this was the only time he was seen or heard by others, so he simply knelt down as well:
"My lord, this is a capital offense."
Although Prince Beijing was so angry that his face turned blue, he knew that he could not recognize him, so he knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
King Yong sneered and changed the confession in his hand: "Which injustice are you talking about?
"…I, the guilty minister Jia Zhen, and my father Jia Jing once ordered me to keep my distance from the Northern King, saying that he was too ambitious and that he was in contact with not only those who harbored dissenting ideas within the court, but also many of the barbarians who secretly communicated with him and swore an oath of blood to form an alliance!"
The Northern King's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, I once worked in the Honglu Temple, and my job was to entertain people from all over the world. This is just a random guess, without any evidence... It's pure slander!"
Emperor Chongzhao lowered his eyes and looked at the milk tea in his hand without saying a word.
I wanted to lift it high, then put it down gently, and keep it for later use to kill someone.
But these people are so stupid, can't they...
Kill one first?!
