No matter which family you give it to, you will offend the other family.
And no matter which family he offends, the Beijing Palace will not be easy. If he doesn't handle it well, he may lose his title.
But the whole thing was still responsible for their family, who asked them to promise one thing to two families.
Zhao was extremely smart and realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment, and became restless for a while.
After pacing back and forth, Ms. Zhao looked at Shui Rong who was on the couch thinking hard about a solution. At this moment, she had thought of a solution.
"My lord, why don't we... kill the best horse!"
"As long as the things are gone, they have nothing to fight for, and we can get away!"
At first glance, this method sounded really good, but Shui Xiong shook his head after thinking about it carefully.
"The prince and Prince Rui have never cared about good horses. Now they are both particularly concerned about this matter. They are obviously fighting over something!"
"They all know that I have a good horse, and we promised to give it to them. If the horse suddenly dies at this time... what do you think they will think?"
Hearing Shui Rong's words, Zhao said tentatively: "Will they guess that we killed the horse?"
Shui Rong said calmly: "It doesn't matter if Ma dies, but if they can't do anything because of this, both families will blame us!"
"If we let them know that we deliberately killed the horse, then I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid it's not clear what the water solution is, but Zhao can guess what the result will be.
"How about... let's sacrifice the horse to the Holy One?" Zhao came up with another idea.
Sighing, Shui Rong replied: "This is also my original intention, but now... alas!"
"So, we are in a dead end?" Zhao said with a horrified look on her face.
This is called the impermanence of life. Just now, there was a lively celebration in the house, but now we are faced with a life and death situation.
"It's not necessarily a dead end, it's just extremely dangerous. We must be cautious!"
Shui Xiong analyzed with a serious face: "The most urgent task is to find out why these two are looking for a good horse, and then we can make a plan based on the actual situation!"
"Um!"
Faced with this kind of problem, Ms. Zhao couldn't do anything to help her, and her face was full of apologies at the moment.
Fortunately, Shui Rong was tolerant enough and had no intention of blaming his wife.
In fear, Shui Rong first sent someone to inquire about the situation, and at the same time asked an old man in the house to inquire about the situation.
For him, time seemed extremely tight. He had to figure out what was going on and come up with a solution to the problem before people from the East Palace and Prince Rui's Mansion came.
In the midst of the suffering, two days passed quickly.
Fortunately for Shui Rong, neither the East Palace nor Prince Rui's Mansion sent anyone to urge him, otherwise the problem would have been exposed in advance.
The reason why these two people did not come was because something big was happening in the court.
Due to the early hanging of the plaque of Prince Xiang's Mansion, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have been investigated one after another, and some officials have been punished with varying degrees of severity.
However, what is even more terrible is that the three legal divisions have issued closing notices many times, but they have all been rejected by the cabinet.
Moreover, on top of the rejected votes, a few new ones would be added each time, further expanding the scope of the investigation.
To put it simply, after the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, even the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs are also involved. Seeing this situation, more and more officials will be unlucky.
When it comes to repairing the palace, if something goes wrong, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs will be involved. This is in line with the old saying... There is no need to blame someone if you want to.
The voting plan is exclusive to cabinet ministers. To expand the scale of the investigation and correction, it is obvious that the matter has evolved from a simple investigation into a struggle between two major factions.
What is even more strange is that except for the emperor's request for a strict investigation at the beginning, and later the case was transferred to the Three Laws Division, the emperor never interfered with the development of the case.
In other words, the emperor himself chose to let go of the current factional strife in the imperial court.
In this chaos, both the East Palace and Prince Rui's Mansion are involved in the past, and both of them are busy with this matter now.
Of course, although Zhu Jinghong understood these so-called chaos and difficulties, he did not pay much attention to them.
For the time being, he really couldn't get involved in the civil servants' affairs.
At this moment, he was practicing martial arts in Chengmingyuan, and he was performing a set of sword skills with flying colors.
At this moment, Xiangyun appeared at the gate of the courtyard and explained his purpose to the young eunuch on duty outside.
"Girl, you'd better go in by yourself. Master Thirteen is practicing martial arts... How dare we disturb him!"
It would definitely not be etiquette to let him in directly, but Zhu Jinghong had already spoken beforehand, saying that the princess's attendants could enter at will.
"Okay then... let me go in and have a look!"
It was not the first time for Xiangyun to come to Zhu Jinghong's yard, but it was the first time to watch him practice martial arts.
As a top martial arts family, the younger generation of the Shi family are all proficient in bows and horses. Xiangyun, who has seen his brothers practice martial arts, can be considered an expert.
Because of this, when she saw Zhu Jinghong's posture at this moment, she suddenly felt that the skills of several brothers in the family were just show-offs.
As a result, Xiangyun stood on the porch and watched, and chatted a few words with Deng An who came over.
Zhu Jinghong also noticed Xiangyun, but he was very self-disciplined and could only stop after completing a set of sword skills.
A few minutes later, when Zhu Jinghong sheathed his sword, he heard Xiang Yun high-five and cheer: "Today I see the power of the Thirteenth Master, and I know that the number one in the world is no lie!"
Throwing the knife to the young eunuch next to him, Zhu Jinghong glanced at Xiangyun who was approaching and said: "Just playing around casually, how can you call it divine power?"
"The Thirteenth Master is too modest. Those brothers in my family claim to be heroic, but in my opinion... they are far behind compared to the Thirteenth Master!"
Xiangyun spoke with great interest, which surprised Zhu Jinghong.
There are many girls who like him, but Xiangyun is the only one who likes his martial arts skills.
Girl, I'm afraid you will fall into it too... Zhu Jinghong sighed secretly.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong staring at him without saying a word, Xiangyun asked in confusion: "Thirteenth Master, did I say something wrong?"
"No...you are right, I may really be the best in the world!"
Although it seems to be pretentious, adding the word "maybe" makes it seem much more humble.
Sure enough, Xiangyun said: "No one inside or outside Shenjing knows the bravery of the Thirteenth Master. Don't be too humble!"
"I remember what Sister Yun said... I will definitely tell everyone I meet in the future that I am the most brave person in the world!"
"Thirteenth Master, I didn't say that!" Xiangyun quickly denied it, knowing in his heart that Zhu Jinghong was joking.
"It's cold outside, let's go in and talk!"
"Master Thirteen, please!"
When the two entered the hall, it became much warmer inside.
"Girl Yun, tell me...why did you come to see me?"
"Master Thirteen, the princess called me here and said she wanted to ask you for a favor!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jinghong suddenly became alert and asked, "What can I help you with?"
"The princess said... she wants to go sledding in Xiyuan and let Master Thirteen make arrangements!"
"I knew she was up to no good with me. Sledding is so dangerous... I think I'd better forget it!"
"Master Thirteen, the princess said that if you don't agree, you'd better tell her in person, otherwise..."
Seeing Xiang Yun speak bluntly, Zhu Jinghong asked curiously: "What else?"
Xiangyun replied: "The princess didn't say it clearly, she just said that you will know when you go!"
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's expressionless face, Xiangyun couldn't restrain his straightforward temper and said, "I think the princess has something to do with you, so Thirteenth Master had better go there!"
"What do you mean? Girl Yun...what do you know?"
"Master Thirteen, I don't know anything. What I just said was nonsense!"
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jinghong knew that things were not simple.
"I'm still afraid to see her?"
"No matter what she says, the sledding thing is out of the question!"
No matter what Zhu Jinghong said, Xiangyun didn't take it seriously.
Compared to sledding, riding a horse last time was even more outrageous, and this guy made arrangements for it.
Princess, the handle you hold must work. I also want to go sledding... Xiangyun shouted secretly in his heart.
