When he looked at the head in the box, it was not Jia Cong, nor his daughter. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel startled, and suddenly felt happy and hopeful.
He quickly opened the other two boxes and took a closer look. They were all the heads of strange men. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Thinking of Jia Cong's abilities and past achievements, I felt a little relieved. I wonder how they are doing now?
I prayed secretly in my heart, hoping that Jia Cong, that bastard, and my Yu'er would be able to be a blessing to each other.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's surprised expression and reaction, everyone was puzzled and all stepped forward to take a look.
"Hey, if it's not Ning Guogong, who are these three people?"
"I haven't seen it before, so I don't have much impression."
"This man looks familiar. Isn't he the young master of the Zhou family?"
"Young master of the Zhou family? Which young master of the Zhou family?"
"That's the Zhou Hao who was castrated by Duke Ning Guo."
"I have some impression of this person. He seems to be named Xu Huanwen. He is the general manager of Xuzhou Camp. Li Shangshu, this is someone from your Ministry of War." Li Guanglu took a closer look and nodded: "Hey, this person is really Xu Huanwen. This is What's going on? Who beheaded me?" The Jinluan Palace suddenly became lively, and all the ministers gathered around. There was a lot of discussion with your words and my words. Even Emperor Longqing stepped down from the throne and thought. To see what happens.
The second prince was among the crowd. When he saw the three heads in the box, his expression suddenly changed. These three were actually his own.
For a moment, I was shocked, angry, and scared. The previous pride, excitement, and happiness all disappeared at this moment.
It was like falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and my mood suddenly became extremely bad. Obviously, the plan to intercept and kill Jia Cong failed. Not only did it fail, but all the people he sent were killed.
Jia Cong, this bastard, how dare he do this? How dare he kill my people blatantly? Didn't we say that 6,000 men and horses intercepted and killed Jia Cong? How could Jia Cong win with only 200 men?
Either Jia Cong was too powerful or his own people were too useless. Not only did the 6,000 people fail to kill Jia Cong, they were killed by Jia Cong, even their heads were cut off and sent to the capital.
This might be bad. If my father knew it was me, what would he do? Xu Huanwen could shirk it, but Zhou Hao was his cousin and Mr. Qu was his think tank. Many people knew about it and couldn't even try to quibble. Now it was a bit troublesome.
The second prince had lost his sense of proportion at this time and was no longer as calm and calm as before. He no longer had his arms, and he still had to face his father's questioning. He couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.
Emperor Longqing took a look at the person inside and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was not Jia Cong. He knew that this bastard would not die so easily.
Looking at the messenger aside, he felt a little unhappy. Damn it, I didn’t explain it clearly. It was such a waste of emotion. Why did I choose this person to deliver the letter?
Emperor Longqing asked: "What's going on? Where is Ning Guogong now? Where is the letter?" After hearing this, everyone looked at the messenger with displeasure.
This guy couldn't explain clearly. He was sad in vain and happy in vain. The messenger quickly said: "Your Majesty, Duke Ning Guo is fine. These three people were the ones who led the attack on Duke Ning. After being caught by Duke Ning, they had their heads chopped off. This is a memorial to Duke Ning." He took out a memorial and handed it to Dai Quan with both hands.
Dai Quan quickly took it, glanced at the guy, and then handed it to Emperor Long Qing. This guy was such a bastard. He shocked himself and thought Jia Cong was really killed.
The one in my family is still pregnant with a child. If she finds out, something will inevitably happen. Fortunately, it's okay.
This kid Jia Cong is really powerful. Six thousand people didn't kill him. He is worthy of being the most powerful general in Liaodong.
Of these three people, one is Zhou Hao, one is the general manager of the Xuzhou camp, and the other seems to be the counselor from the second prince's house. It is obvious that these are people sent by the second prince.
It seems that the second prince wanted to kill Jia Cong, so he actually sent an army of 6,000 this time, which was really a big move.
It's a pity that they were defeated by one move. These people were no match for Jia Cong at all. He glanced at the second prince without any trace, and then lowered his eyes.
After listening to the messenger's words, Lin Ruhai was completely relieved. But looking at that guy, his eyes were full of evil, and he was so angry that he almost cursed his mother. This bastard almost scared himself to death.
Lin Ruhai had already guessed that it was the second prince who did it, and looked over with an evil look. Seeing his ugly face, he became even more sure of what he was thinking.
He sighed slightly in his heart. Anyone who messed with the royal family was destined to be in trouble for a lifetime. I don’t know what Jia Cong’s plan was, or what was written in this memorial?
Now that the heads of these three people have been sent back, it seems that they have made up their mind to break up with the second prince.
At the same time, the contradiction between the two people was put in the open. It seems that in this memorial, the second prince should not be covered up like before.
I just don’t know how your Majesty will deal with the second prince after knowing the whole story? Lin Ruhai sighed secretly, not having high hopes at that time.
After all, tiger poison will not eat its seeds, and that is his biological son. Emperor Longqing opened Jia Cong's memorial and couldn't wait to read it.
But as he looked further back, his face became more and more ugly. Jia Cong wrote down the whole story and the whole story in the memorial, along with several confessions.
Naqu Yingzhe's confession was full of solid information, and the names of most of the officials bribed by the second prince were almost all included in it.
In addition, Jia Cong also wrote a paragraph at the end of the memorial.
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of His Highness the Second Prince, I originally did not intend to tell His Majesty. I was afraid that it would affect His Majesty and the relationship between father and son and His Highness the Second Prince. I also tried my best to conceal some of the things that happened in the past for him. . But this time, His Highness the Second Prince has reached out to the army, which makes me feel a little worried. After catching that Qu Yingzhe, I got some news from his mouth, which makes me even more worried. I am worried. I am not worried about myself, but worried about His Majesty. His Highness, the Second Prince, just wants to win over some officials to prepare for his future succession. It is nothing, but it is inappropriate to interfere in the army. From ancient times to the present, emperors of all dynasties have , very few people actually died of a healthy life, and most of them died in the hands of their own sons. Emperors who are as benevolent and filial as Your Majesty are very rare. Perhaps His Highness the Second Prince will be as benevolent and filial as Your Majesty, and everything will be done as a minister. Just make rash assumptions, but you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. I hope that your majesty can be aware of it and be careful. I am not with your majesty. If something happens, I will not be able to protect your majesty. It’s just I have received great kindness from your Majesty since I was a child, and I still have difficulty repaying it. I really can't bear to see something that I can't bear to say happen. Although these words may seem provocative, they are my heartfelt words. Your Majesty is not only my monarch, but also my minister. My elders, I only hope that your majesty will live for thousands of years, so that I can repay you once and for all, and live up to your loyalty." After reading everything, Emperor Longqing closed the memorial and took a deep breath.
Two hundred soldiers fought against an army of 6,000 and defeated them. This fighting power is really amazing. This kid Jia Cong was really born to fight.
He glanced at the second prince and saw the expression on his face. He no longer had any doubts in his heart. Thinking of Jia Cong's words, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
Recalling the scenes since I met Jia Cong in my mind, I sighed secretly in my heart. Jia Cong, this kid, really didn’t say anything to me. In that situation, he was thinking of himself. It can be said that he was sincere and was his lucky star. The trace of suspicion towards Jia Cong also disappeared at this moment. trace.
I couldn't help but think that when he returned from his travels, he would be reinstated. As for what happens in the future, let's just let it happen.
Alas, this traitor is so lawless. For the sake of the royal family’s face, we should deal with it privately.
Emperor Longqing said: "That's it for today, retreat. Xiang Hong, come with me." When the second prince heard this, his eyes shrank, and there was a hint of panic in his heart.
It seems that my father already knows the whole story, what should I do? Either admit it, or refuse to admit it, shift the responsibility to others, and pretend not to know.
It may be a bit troublesome this time, I hope I can pass this level. Thinking of this, he quickly said: "I obey the decree." Everyone was stunned. Why did they retreat from the court? They still wanted to wait to see the contents of the memorial.
Seeing Emperor Longqing turn around and leave, everyone had no choice but to bow and see him off.
"I will send you off to your Majesty." Seeing the father and son leaving the Jinluan Hall, everyone was in no hurry to leave, and the hall became even more lively.
Niu Jizong laughed loudly and said: "As expected of Ning Guogong, he not only defeated the siege of six thousand troops, but also beheaded the culprit. His fighting power is really unparalleled. Such a good general cannot be killed in the battle." It's a pity to use his talents on the battlefield." Hu Yong said: "Lord Niu is careful, the court also has considerations. Besides, Ning Guogong is still young and is in the stage of learning. You can learn your skills while you are young. This It is also a kind of protection for him. There are countless generals in the court, and none of them are older than him. They want a child to go to the battlefield to fight? But you are enjoying peace and happiness in the rear. Are you embarrassed? I can't do it anyway. " When everyone heard this, there was a burst of ridicule in their hearts. This old guy was so shameless, but they didn't say anything else.
Lin Ruhai nodded slightly. Although these words were a bit shameless, they were indeed a form of protection for Jia Cong.
If possible, he would rather Jia Cong never go to the battlefield again, guarding his Yu'er and living a good life, which is the business, so that Yu'er will not be worried about him.
It would be better if he could give up martial arts and follow civil service, so that His Majesty would not be afraid of him anymore. At this time, the voice came again.
Just listen to King Beijing say: "I heard that Ning Guogong was traveling, and he probably didn't bring many people with him. Faced with the siege of more than 6,000 troops, how he defeated it is too hard to imagine. It can be compared with the Three Kingdoms period. The peerless generals can compete with each other." Li Guanglu said: "Ning Guogong brought back two hundred soldiers from Liaodong. I should have brought them all out this time. They are all elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles." King Beijing said: "I'm going up This time on the long street, I saw the majesty of Ning Guogong. He defeated the enemy with one against ten, but he was not hurt. It was really exciting to watch. This time, two hundred against six thousand, it was easy to win again. This was with one Being thirty is really amazing. If the soldiers and horses in Liaodong are so powerful, why should Chu be afraid of the barbarians?" Li Guanglu did not respond. As the Minister of War, he was very clear about the situation in Liaodong.
Even he is powerless to deal with the shortcomings in the military. How can those people compare with Jia Cong's personal soldiers?
Jia Cong's personal soldiers cost a lot of money, and ordinary people simply couldn't afford them. Everyone sighed when they heard this. Jia Cong's fighting prowess really shocked everyone.
These people were not fools. They had already seen something from it, and they all tacitly agreed not to mention the person behind the scenes.
······
"Young man, kneel down for me." An angry shout suddenly came from in front of him. The second prince was so frightened that he trembled all over.
He knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound. At this moment, he no longer had any luck in his heart. Along the way, he had already figured it out. His father called him away directly. He must have known that he had done it, and even his excuses were meaningless.
Doing that would only make the father hate him even more, so it would be better to admit it directly and let the father handle it. Since he did not deal with him in the main hall, nor did he publicize the matter, but directly brought him to the imperial study room, he probably did not want the ministers to know.
Perhaps, his father would not do anything to him, and at most he would give him a small punishment or a big warning. After all, he was his biological son, so how could he still kill him?
"Father, I realized that I was wrong, please punish me." Seeing that he took the initiative to admit his mistake, Emperor Longqing softened his expression, and then shouted angrily: "As a prince, you don't learn to manage political affairs properly, but you put your mind aside In terms of conspiracy and calculation, I am really disappointed. What is even more annoying is that you actually mobilized troops without authorization and openly surrounded and killed Ning Guogong. You are really bold and unscrupulous. Will you one day bring troops to surround and kill me? "These words frightened the second prince. Even if he really had this intention, he did not dare to say it.
He would not take this step unless he had to. At that moment, he kowtowed repeatedly, making the floor creak when he knelt, and shouted loudly: "Father, I have learned from you that I don't dare. Even if I have great courage, I don't dare to think about this, let alone do this." Thoughts, father, please trust me." Emperor Long Qing snorted coldly and said: "Don't you dare? I think you are very brave. What else can you not dare to do? You actually want to capture Lin Ruhai's daughter. , using her to deal with Lin Ruhai is extremely despicable, I really underestimate you." The second prince was horrified, his father actually knew about this kind of thing, could it be that both Zhou Hao and Mr. Qu betrayed themselves?
I couldn't help but curse these two people in my heart, why didn't they say anything outside? I haven't let you off even after I told you, so it's not like you were beheaded.
The second prince kowtowed and said: "Father, I have no intention of doing this. Zhou Hao was castrated by Jia Cong, and he felt resentful in his heart, so he begged his son to take revenge on him, but he couldn't resist, so he After today's incident, I still ask my father to atone for my sins, and I will never dare to do it again." Emperor Longqing shook his head, feeling disappointed in his heart.
With such a status and having been in business for so many years, he can't even deal with Jia Cong. It's just a pretense. It's really incompetent.
He said calmly: "From now on, you can study behind closed doors in the palace. Without my will, you are not allowed to step out of the palace."
