Chapter 323 Supporting the Prince
In the evening, when Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang were entertaining the queen,
In Yuehou's mansion, Yuehou slapped Xiaoyuehou to the ground with a slap, and roared angrily:
"Tell me, is it you bastard, did you have the guts to attack Prince Jing's carriage?"

Xiao Yuehou covered his face and said tremblingly:

"I just wanted to frighten Jing Haoying,
On weekdays, Jing Haoying is so arrogant, he doesn't take our Yue family seriously,

I heard that this guy has turned to the prince, and today he went to the Liang family to investigate the case for the prince, so..."

Yuehou furiously planned to be Xiaoyuehou, and shouted:

"So shit, you bastard, I think it's because you want to take revenge on Jing Haoying for slapping you back then!" Then he kicked Xiao Yuehou hard, still not relieved, he stepped forward to make amends a few more times. foot,

Xiao Yuehou was afraid to dodge again and again, begging for mercy and shouting:

"Father, spare my life, Father, spare my life! I don't dare anymore,
Besides, maybe Jing Haoying didn't know that we did it. The startled horse is dead, and there is no proof of death. I mean, even if he didn't die, the horse couldn't speak, and we couldn't find it! "

Yue Hou was almost amused by this kid's stupidity, how could the Jing family's power not find out some clues?
"Idiot, why did I give birth to such an idiot as you..."

Just as he was about to continue scolding, a servant came to report that Concubine Yue had invited him, so he had to stare at his idiot son who hurried into the palace,
Over there, Ling Buyi was indeed shrewd and capable. Liang Xia had already confessed that he was instigated by Yuehou. After reporting to the emperor, the emperor didn't want to punish Yuehou just because of this time. Besides, this was just Liang Xia's one-sided remarks, so Ling Buyi came out. With one trick, let the concubine Yue cheat the Marquis Yue,
Which of Yue Hou's own sisters would lie to him, not knowing that the emperor and Ling Buyi were eavesdropping behind him, not only telling about instigating Liang Xia, but also saying that because he was dissatisfied with the Xuan family, he deliberately delayed not rescuing Gucheng, etc. wait,
Let the emperor and others listen to it.

When the emperor reprimanded Yuehou, Jing Haoying was also discussing with Feng Shaopeng and Ma Boyuan,

Just like what Yuehou thought, Jing Haoying has already found a lot of evidence, all pointing to one of Xiaoyuehou's servants, but based on these, there is no harm to the Yue family, at most it is superficial, but since he knows Even if it was the hands of the Yue clan, Jing Haoying did not intend to lightly rape the Yue clan,
At the beginning, I was thinking badly, thinking that the two would not help each other, and I could sit on the Diaoyutai. Now that I think about it, if I really let the Yue family get up, just because of the virtues of Xiao Yuehou and his son, maybe there will be more troubles in the future, and this time I almost implicated Cheng Shaoshang, this has touched Jing Haoying's bottom line, it is really intolerable.

So he is ready to end himself,
Jing Haoying told Ma Boyuan and Feng Shaopeng about Xiaoyuehou Zongma's attack on Cheng Shaoshang's frame. Both of them also sent people to participate in the investigation, and they also had vague guesses.
"This Xiaoyue Hou is so arrogant, he dared to attack the frame of the Wangfu, he deserves death!"

"That's right, we can't spare Nayue clan lightly, Zixiu, tell us, what do you want us to do!"

Jing Haoying nodded and said:
"The Yue family is arrogant and domineering. They don't pay attention to the families of us vassal kings. Apart from relying on the power of the concubine Yue, they just think that the third prince has a chance to rise to the throne. Let me tell you..." Then how about the Yuehou? He urged Liang Xia to frame the prince and talked about it,
The two of them were not surprised when they heard the words. After all, there were many secret tricks in the matter of seizing the heirloom, so it was nothing.
Ma Boyuan is astute, and Jing Haoying's words showed something unusual. In the past, Jing Haoying's words rarely involved the matter of seizing the heir, and he also bluntly said that the Yue clan relied on the third prince. Thinking of today's Yue clan's attack on Cheng Shao business, so he asked softly:
"Zixiu, you want to support the prince...?" Seeing Jing Haoying nodding, he couldn't help but wonder:
"Is this matter too hasty to make a decision? You must know that our positions have always been mutually exclusive?"

"Don't be in a hurry. In the past, we didn't help each other. It's also because the third prince treats us very courteously.

But seeing Yue's behavior recently, he doesn't pay attention to us now, and it will be better in the future.
Besides, I have more contact with the crown prince and the third prince, and you all know that,

The benevolent prince is the closest to me,
As for the third prince, don't look warm on the surface, but it's just that we haven't touched his bottom line. In fact, he is a stern and selfless person in his heart.
Coupled with the fact that the Yue family is instigating and watching, it is hard to guarantee that we will not make mistakes in the future!
There is only a thousand days to be a thief, so there is a reason for thousands of days to guard against thieves, so I am going to take advantage of the opportunity..." Then Jing Haoying said the plan,

Feng Shaopeng and Ma Boyuan heard that it was not bad, this plan is upright, no one can say anything, besides, if the three forces unite, even if this time fails, the third prince will ascend the throne in the future, and the few families will not be afraid.
In the evening, in the bedroom, Jing Haoying applied Cheng Shaoshang's homemade ointment while saying:
"Shao Shang, what do you think of the prince?"

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he looked at Jing Haoying suspiciously,
"Prince, you don't know better than me, you are kind and humble, and this time, the prince also bravely stood up for Mr. Qu Ling. I think he has taken on a lot more than before!"

Jing Haoying nodded,

"Then you think the crown prince must be a good emperor when he ascends the throne in the future?"

Cheng Shaoshang said as a matter of course:
"That's natural!" Then he immediately looked at Jing Haoying suspiciously,
"Why do you say that? You don't have any ideas, do you?" Said he was very nervous at the end.

Jing Haoying couldn't help but smile, reached out and tapped Cheng Shaoshang's forehead, and said with a smile:

"What do you think, how can I have other ideas, you think too much, I think the same as you, I think the prince is the most suitable!"

Cheng Shaoshang patted his chest, heaved a sigh of relief and said:

"Scared me to death, I thought you had no other thoughts, how good your mother is to us, we can't be that white-eyed boy!"

Jing Haoying nodded and said with a smile:
"you are right!"

There is a saying that people do not kill for themselves, the prince is a little better than the third prince after all, and Shaoshang is lucky this time, but only suffered a small injury. If the Yue family is allowed to continue to be arrogant, it is uncertain what will happen in the future. ,
A person's dead egg will not die for thousands of years, the big deal is to take Cheng Shaoshang to live in a fiefdom, maybe it will be more comfortable than living in the capital,

On the second day, at the morning court, Jing Haoying and the other three also sat in the court hall in court clothes,

The courtiers also knew what happened yesterday. A frightened horse attacked the frame of the imperial concubine Cheng Shaoshang. They also said that Jing Haoying came to explain, and they couldn't help but look at the sweaty Jing with sympathy. Zhaoyin, this is really a man who is in trouble at home from heaven, otherwise everyone will say that this Jing Zhaoyin is not easy to do, the capital is full of dignitaries, and troubles will arise soon.

The emperor thought so too, knowing that Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang were loving couples, he didn't take it seriously, but he thought in his heart that Jing Zhaoyin had worked so hard for so many years, and he would be punished lightly later.
Morning morning officially begins,
First, he talked about a lot of trifles, and then the Tingwei Mansion notified the details of Liang Xia's brother murder case. Tingwei Ji is indeed a master who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes, and even Yue Hou participated in it. Come out and say that he framed the prince,

The emperor announced Liang Xia's death sentence on the spot. There is nothing to say about it. The murder of his own brother can't be justified anywhere.

As for Marquis Yue, although the emperor was angry that Marquis Yue didn't rescue the lonely city in time because of selfishness, which resulted in the death of the entire Huo family, but for the sake of concubine Yue, he just deprived Marquis Yue of his title and asked him to guard the imperial tomb. without any penalty,
Of course, there was no matter of rescuing the isolated city, so the emperor naturally didn't say anything, only the crime of framing the prince.

Seeing Ling Busu's expressionless face, Jing Haoying knew that he knew it a long time ago, and even if he was unwilling, he probably acquiesced.
Sporadic cases of the Prince's disciples who said that Yuehou's punishment was too light were quickly suppressed. After all, where are the concubine Yue and the third prince? In fact, everyone knows that the punishment will not be too heavy. He will also be active in the court, knowing that it is impossible but not daring to offend him to death,

Just as the emperor was about to move on to the next topic, he saw the three of Jing Haoying standing up together and walking to the middle of the court hall to salute.

"The minister waits for something to start!"

Although the emperor felt that Jing Haoying and the three of them had made a fuss over Cheng Shaoshang's affairs, he felt that it was a bit of a fuss, but he still nodded slightly, motioning for Jing Haoying to speak,

Unexpectedly, he was shocked by Jing Haoying's next words, only to hear Jing Haoying say:
"There is a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period that if a son is considered to be worthy and not to be worthy, how can it be moved? Although the prince has been appointed early, gentle and virtuous, but the princes are still in adulthood, they still do not become vassals, and the country is unstable. , Yue Hou waited for Xiaoxiao and his ilk to peek at the artifact and frame the prince,
The minister thought that in order to protect the brotherhood between the country and the princes, His Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible, so that the third prince and the fifth prince should be vassals as soon as possible! "

Ma Boyuan and Feng Shaopeng also shouted together with Jing Haoying:
"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible, so that the third prince and the fifth prince can take over as soon as possible!"

The emperor was still waiting for Jing Haoying to impeach Jing Zhaoyin, so that he could say please for Jing Zhaoyin, the lines were on his lips, he didn't expect Jing Haoying and others to say such words, he was a little stunned for a while,

The officials also didn't know what was wrong. They didn't expect the son of the Three Kings to speak out at this time, but some people soon realized that Confucianism is becoming more and more popular, and the law of etiquette is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the neutral people in the past also agreed, let alone early Those who support the prince, Lou Ben is the vanguard,
He is better at speaking than Jing Haoying. He quoted a lot of scriptures and said a lot in the room. Anyway, the general meaning is the same. If the princes are not allowed to leave the capital, it will be easy for the country to be unstable. Hou is a typical example. As long as the third prince and the fifth prince are allowed to leave the capital, completely out of luck for the reserve position, then naturally the imperial court will be able to go all out and govern the country better.

All of a sudden, there were many followers, and even the representatives of the family like Yuan Shanjian were mostly sympathizers. After all, to put it bluntly, the emperor was too shrewd and capable, and his stern face was not a blessing of the family. They also preferred the prince. He is an elegant gentleman, and compared to the cold third prince, the prince is really easy to get along with.

The supporters of the third prince can only think that the country is waiting for prosperity, and it is not appropriate to divide the prince's fiefdom too early, so they come to find a reason,
The emperor himself didn't want the princes to join the vassal. It wasn't all because of financial difficulties. It's just that he had few heirs, and he hoped that all the children would be by his side. Moreover, he was very dissatisfied with Jing Haoying who didn't discuss it privately and made decisions privately. ,

However, he had to think carefully about the question Jing Haoying raised. After all, his heart still favors the crown prince at this time, and the crown prince's recent performance is also remarkable. Tiger talismans are now in the crown prince's hands. They were ignored on purpose before, but now If someone brings it up, you have to think about it carefully.

It's just that it's not easy to make a decision for a while, so I can only retreat temporarily.
After coming down to court, the prince walked to Jing Haoying's side for the first time, and looked at Jing Haoying gratefully,

"Zixiu, Gu..." I was so excited that I didn't know what to say.

Jing Haoying, who was in the crowd, couldn't say anything, he could only say:

"The ministers and others are only for the sake of the country, and they can't bear the instability of the court, so they go on their own expeditions!"

Ling Buyi looked at Jing Haoying suspiciously from the side, and asked:
"Does Zixiu really think so?" Now he feels that he can't understand Jing Haoying. Although Jing Haoying had a good relationship with the crown prince in the past, he was not bad with the third prince. Why did he support him openly this time? Prince, I couldn't help guessing that Cheng Shaoshang's attack yesterday was related?

Of course, Jing Haoying replied confidently:
"Naturally, otherwise, what else would Zicheng think I could do?"

Before a few people could say a few more words, they were stopped by the internal officials, saying that the emperor wanted to see some people,
Even the third and fifth princes in the distance were called to stop,

Jing Haoying actually didn't want to go, and he would definitely be scolded if he went, but he thought that if he stretched out his head, it would be a knife if he retracted his head, so he walked bravely,

On the contrary, the fifth prince looked delighted, thinking that he might be leaving soon, he immediately went to Jing Haoying's side and asked Jing Haoying to help speak again at that time, and let his mother join him in the meeting.

Except for the fifth prince, the rest of the people basically looked a little dignified, even the prince,
Moreover, it can be clearly seen that the third prince intends to distance himself from Jing Haoying, but Jing Haoying didn't care about it, instead he strengthened his mind.
As soon as the emperor saw the crowd coming in, he first got angry at Jing Haoying,
"You rebellious son, why did you act like this all of a sudden, and didn't discuss it with me!"

Jing Haoying hurriedly pretended to be panic, and said lightly:
"The minister is also thinking of the court and society. The prince of Yue attacked the prince so recklessly, but His Majesty just raised it high and lowered it gently. If things go on like this, won't it encourage this unhealthy trend?
The country is now in a state of ruins, and it really can't stand the toss, so Zixiu thought that he should make a decision early! "

In fact, while waiting just now, the emperor also wanted to understand a little bit. Jing Haoying cared about Cheng Shaoshang the most. Why didn't he mention it this time? Maybe it was because he had already mentioned it. That was the Yue family. He took a deep look at Jing Hao Ying, after all, didn't say much, instead, he looked at the third prince and asked:
"Third, what do you think?"

The third prince felt aggrieved at this time. He looked down on the prince in his heart. He felt that he was indecisive and weak. Back then, he married Empress Xuan in order to borrow the troops of the Xuan Clan. Although Empress Xuan was upright, he never felt that his mother was a concubine and he was not a concubine.

Then thinking that if he doesn't fight for one or two at this time, he will have no chance in the future, and his character is a bit resolute and unwilling to give in, so he said in a deep voice:

"Baby thinks that he is more suitable to be a prince than the emperor's brother!"

As soon as this remark came out, the prince's face immediately changed. Sometimes people feel very strange in their hearts. If I think I can't do it, I can give it to you, but if you fight for it, then absolutely not. The prince is like this at this time. In the past, he It's not that I haven't thought that my ability is not as good as this third brother, so it's better to let him, but now I really heard that the third prince is blatantly trying to compete with me for the position, but I am very angry.

Even the emperor's face is not so good-looking. There is a saying, "If you don't fight, you fight. If you fight, you don't fight. If you don't fight, nothing in the world can compete with him."
The third prince made such a straightforward statement, knowing that he wanted to compete for the reserve position, no one would believe that he had no selfish intentions.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ling Buyi interjected:
"Your Majesty, you suddenly retreated from the court just now, and you haven't issued an order to summon Peng Kun to Beijing!"

Emperor Wen was reflecting on himself. If he had made a decision a few years ago, would there be no current situation? He suddenly heard Ling Bu doubt about Peng Kun, and he paused for a while before realizing that he and Ling Bu doubt last night When interrogating Marquis Yue, he guessed that the old Gan An Wang was killed by Peng Kun, so he planned to test a few times and recruit Peng Kun to the capital for questioning, but he forgot about Jing Haoying, so he said:
"Oh, this matter is simple, Cao Cheng, draw up an order for me to call Peng Kun to Beijing to report on his duties, there must be no mistakes!"
