The second prince came today because a tip told him that the third prince and the fifth prince wanted to start with the Ji sisters in order to win over Duke Li.
The Ji sisters have adopted some orphans and beggars, and they are going to visit them today. The third prince and the fifth prince also took the opportunity to go there, hoping to establish a relationship with them!
Everyone in their circle of princes said, "Be polite and travel all over the world"!
Don’t worry about whether it’s true or not, just take a look first!
Since the battle for the crown prince became more intense, the second prince Zhou Jianye began to closely monitor his several younger brothers who were competitive with him.
When his prince and brother were around, he was self-aware, so he worked hard to be a qualified royal dude.
However, the second prince is very careful. He is a "dandy", but first of all, he must not make his father, the emperor, hate him. Not only will he not make his father hate him, but he will also make him intolerable.
For example, when his prince and brother were involved in political affairs and had differences of opinion with courtiers, disputes were inevitable.
The second prince discovered that those who dared to argue with the prince were either direct ministers or his father's favorites.
To be honest, the second prince couldn't afford to offend these two kinds of people, and he didn't think the prince could offend either.
This is not important. What is important is that these two types of people cannot be messed with.
No one is used to people like Naoomi, and he will scold anyone he catches!
Moreover, it seems that whoever has a high official position and a high status can only show their talents by scolding them!
Also, if a third-grade or fourth-grade official stands in the court and scolds an old farmer or a sesame seed vendor, he will definitely go crazy for him!
My father needs direct ministers, not because he likes to be scolded, but because he wants to show that he has the world in mind and is fair and strict.
It’s not up to the father to be scolded or not, whether you listen or not!
In other words, my father's need for direct ministers is largely just for show!
But what the emperor likes more is his favorite ministers. The favored ministers are the roundworms in the emperor's belly!
This group of people dared to challenge the prince without the instigation of his father, but with his tacit approval!
But the prince is the crown prince of the country, the eldest son of the emperor, and the personally titled prince.
Although he was dissatisfied with some of the prince's actions and was annoyed that the prince didn't know how to behave tactfully, the emperor could not openly refute the prince as long as it was not too excessive.
The prince is shameless, isn't it like slapping the emperor himself in the face!
The second prince discovered that before there was a conflict between his father the emperor and his eldest brother the prince, he could make a lot of money quickly.
That year, a doting brother of King Rongan was bullying men and women on the street and fell in love with a beautiful young girl who was shopping at a stall.
The little girl's father naturally disobeyed, and was unexpectedly beaten to death by his slave during the dispute!
When the little girl saw that her father was dead, and thought of the dark days in the future, she was so sad and angry that she bumped into her father's body and died.
It happened suddenly, and it was in the bustling city of Beijing. In an instant, the people were in an uproar!
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted,
"Fellows and fellow villagers! This man can force people to death in broad daylight by relying on his girls as concubines for the prince. We have seen his evil deeds, and he will definitely kill people and silence them! We can't just sit back and wait for death!"
"right!"
"Kill them for their lives! Kill them first! We are eliminating harm for the people!"
"Kill them and see if they are still rampant!"
Everyone around started cheering! The sound was so loud that it almost shook the roof tiles!
Before the people around him could react, several people rushed up and beat the brother-in-law and the slave!
These domestic slaves dared to show off their power in front of the dead father and daughter. Although the people in front of them were unarmed, they were outnumbered, and the crowd was excited and overwhelming. For a moment, their legs became weak, and they turned around and ran away!
"We can't let them escape!"
"They went to bring in reinforcements and came to kill us!"
"Discount his legs!"
Everyone's blood was boiling at this moment, and they had no time to think calmly, so they followed the shouts and chased after him!
Soon there was chaos on the streets.
The troops from the Imperial City Department and the people from Dali Temple rushed over upon hearing the sound. The two groups immediately captured the concubine's brother and quickly put him in prison.
There is no doubt that the prince said that he would behead him as a warning to others.
However, Prince Rongan requested that this was just a mistake and that his brother-in-law did not kill anyone himself. It was done by my subordinates.
Some ministers support the prince, while others sympathize with Prince Rongan. Who doesn't have a prodigal child?
Moreover, it is obvious that someone has plotted against the prince and Prince Rongan!
Of course, more ministers remained silent, waiting for the emperor's final decision.
The matter itself is not complicated, but it is different when it involves Prince Rongan. He and the emperor grew up together since childhood. When the emperor was still an unpopular prince, Prince Rongan often ate and slept with him, spending many miserable and uneasy years with the emperor.
Therefore, if we say that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor had several figures who were particularly emotionally inclined, the first one to bear the brunt was of course Princess Lu, followed by the head of Yuhui County, and then the Prince of Rongan County.
Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, he gave Prince Rongan great honor and favor.
The emperor also planned to hold this matter up high and put it down gently. It's no big deal to imprison a person for a period of time and teach him a long lesson. After a while, the news subsides and he is secretly released.
If you really want to take the blame, you can just kill two of the house slaves who did it yourself.
But the prince felt that he wanted to kill him as a warning to others.
The prince had long disliked Prince Rongan, and not only Prince Rongan. I also dislike those relatives of the emperor or noble ministers who are idle all day long, do nothing, and make trouble. I think they should all go to the fields to work with the farmers, so that they can know what:
"It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil!"
The corrupt and extravagant life of Prince Rongan was especially disgusting to the prince who advocated thrift.
The national treasury is insufficient, there is drought in the south, floods in the north, and the people are displaced. Not only do these people not care about the country, they also bully the people!
It is unbearable!
The prince also wanted to take this opportunity to beat these people.
But after all, this matter has to consider the father's face.
The chief historian of the Prince's Mansion advised the Prince,
"Your Highness, please be patient. If this matter is really according to the law, it happened suddenly. Prince Rongan's brother-in-law was not even an instigator. Although he was conniving, he did not stop the evil deeds of his subordinates. You failed to control the situation very well. However, even if you kill this man, it will not be a big shock to Prince Rongan!"
The prince calmed down at this moment and remembered what the second prince said to him.
"Brother Imperial, it's not like you don't know that Uncle Rongan has many concubines. At this moment, this concubine is his favorite, and the concubine's family is also his favorite. But after a while, he will We have a new favorite concubine. This concubine’s brother is no different from other domestic slaves in the palace. Why would the emperor hold on to a domestic slave and not let him go? And make the father dissatisfied? "
The prince also calmed down at this moment, so he accepted this method of treatment calmly.
The Prince of Rongan County paid a compensation to the family of the father and daughter, and gave them a proper burial.
At the same time, the two servants who took action were sentenced to death.
The emperor felt very relieved that he had given an explanation to Prince Rongan. Later, he heard that the second prince also comforted the prince, so he gave a large reward to the second prince and the chief minister!
Soon, the concubine's brother was released.
Thinking that the matter was over, the concubine's brother started living a life of debauchery and debauchery soon after he was released from prison.
However, extreme joy brought sorrow, and he died in a brothel within a few days!
It is said that he died in bed the next day after fooling around with a prostitute.
As soon as this incident came out, everyone clapped their hands and applauded, saying that the prince was eliminating harm for the people!
However, some ministers secretly sighed and shook their heads, thinking that the prince's methods were not aboveboard!
These courtiers believed that the prince was too narrow-minded and petty. He doesn't spare a concubine's family either.
Besides, if you are really angry, you might as well beat the person to death in prison! No one dared to say anything, using such a method would be a bit too unsavory.
On the other side, the prince was full of grievances. He really didn't do this kind of thing!
He is a dignified prince of a country, and he cannot afford to tarnish his reputation for such a young man.
What's more, the one he wants to compete with is Prince Rongan!
But except for some bright-eyed people, almost no one believed it.
The second prince sent someone to inquire about Wu Zuo from Dali Temple. Wu Zuo shook his head and said,
"This is really cruel! Tsk tsk! There is strong aphrodisiac in the wine! There is strong aphrodisiac in the incense in the room! Even the prostitute has aphrodisiac on her body! No one can survive such torture!"
The second prince was a little surprised after hearing this. In fact, he just wanted to teach his brother-in-law a lesson, make him seriously ill, and cause some trouble for the prince and Prince Rongan!
According to the second prince's idea, there will definitely be some benefits to be gained!
For example, the Ministry of Industry is going to renovate the city wall recently!
Or, the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to buy birthday gifts for the Queen Mother’s birthday recently, that’s fine too!
The aphrodisiac in that wine was given by the Second Prince, but the Second Prince swears to God, the incense and the prostitutes were not instigated by him!
Who is it?
That's all, in short, the prince's plan to vent his anger and kill people has been completed!
At this moment, I saw that Mei Lin from the Huai'an Marquis Mansion had also arrived. What else could I say? She must be worried that the third brother would like those two girls from the Ji family!
The two little boys were determined not to accept any gifts, and the two young ladies from the Ji family had not shown up yet. They must have been worried that someone would catch them with their third and fifth brothers!
Yo ho! The third brother and the fifth brother all looked cold and cold, their eyes were higher than the top of their heads, and their eyes were dust-free, as if they were indifferent to the fireworks of the world all day long!
Just the words "Don't talk to me, you don't deserve it" are written on my forehead!
They've been making trouble for a long time, and they've been using tricks secretly!
No wonder! I heard that the guys in "Good Neighbors" always shout something, oh, that's right!
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!
If you want to succeed, you have to work hard!
