The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 155 Come in quickly
"What does General Lang mean by this?"

The prince gritted his teeth, and looked at Lang Sheng with some threats in his eyes.

Shouldn't he just accept it?

I have already taken the initiative to plead guilty, why should I hold on to it?

Lang Cheng didn't even look at the crown prince, but just bowed his head and looked at the emperor, his voice was loud, without the slightest fear, and he was too calm: "Your Majesty, the crown prince's side concubine is domineering, and I have heard of it before, but today Because the matter involved the family, after some investigation, I realized that the actions of the crown prince and side concubine in the past were not only domineering, even killing people, destroying people and families, there are countless things, I implore Your Majesty to uphold justice for those innocent people!"

Lang Sheng knew that what he said today would make the crown prince hate him, and would push himself into the cusp of the storm, but he could no longer control his rationality, starting from Xu Qingluo, the key point of the layout of Princess Xinghe and the crown prince in the Zhaixing Pavilion, to the crown prince The side concubine went to the general's mansion to make a big fuss and even almost hurt Langmu and Xu Qingluo. These things were said from other people's mouths, but he seemed to be in it. I don't want to act like I don't care about it in the past.

He is also a human being. If he is a human, he will have his own relatives, if he is a human, he will have someone he wants to protect, and if he is a human, he will have a backlash. Obviously, the actions of the Crown Prince and the Wang family have already touched Lang Sheng's heart. Inverse scale.

"Lang Cheng, General Lang, you must have evidence before you speak and act. Yao'er did not think carefully about what she did today, and she offended the General's House, but don't be like a mad dog, biting like a mad dog!"

The threat in the prince's words was even more serious.

There was a chill in the eyes looking at Lang Sheng.

"Langqing, what the crown prince is saying is, what evidence do you have that Wang's careless disregard for human life?"

As soon as the emperor changed his furious look, he looked at Lang Cheng with a half-smile, tapping lightly on the armrest with his fingers, looking very dangerous.

He and the prince are princes. If something happens to the prince, a father will always defend his son more.

This point was understood by the people around them. Looking at Lang Sheng's appearance, it was a bit like watching a good show.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the crime of deceit. I met some suspicious people outside the palace gate the day before yesterday. I stopped them and asked them to know that it was the prince's side concubine who committed the crime. He sent the beautiful palace servants who were in the East Palace to disfigured or disfigured. Killing him, or letting people persecute his family, his actions are shocking. At that time, I thought that the prince's side concubine was a lady selected by the prince, so she should not have done such a shocking thing, and would not be so bold and vicious. Compassion, thinking that those people are just ordinary people, even if they falsely accuse the crown prince and side concubine, they should be forced or driven by others, so they just ordered them to be expelled. If someone picks up the plaque, it should not be soft on those ordinary people."

Lang Sheng said these words calmly, the prince looked at him in astonishment, as if he had never known Lang Sheng before.

How could Lang Sheng say such a thing? How could Lang Sheng happen to have evidence witnesses of Wang's misconduct in his hands?
Although Lang Sheng didn't accept the crown prince's olive branch, didn't respond to his solicitation, and his strict and earnest temper annoyed the prince, he had never been sincerely jealous of him.

Langsheng is a knife, a good knife, but it is just a knife. It is enough to play a big role in the right hands, but it has no lethality. Can a knife kill by itself?

He is loyal and foolish, and he doesn't know how to fight for what he deserves. He has served in the army for ten years, and has fought countless battles at the border to defend against foreign enemies. Except for the title of First-rank Pegasus General that sounds nice and the residence that is now said to be bestowed by the emperor, he is actually a prisoner. The general's mansion in the besieged land, there is no other.

First-rank Pegasus General?It's a title like a joke. Generals have always had hereditary titles, especially First Rank. The titles of hereditary and dynasties have changed, but the titles of generals have not changed. The category is Super First Rank, Hussar General, Zhenjun General, and Fujun General are titles of Genuine First Rank, and there are other categories like Zhengxi, Zhengdong, and Zhenbei Generals as Second Rank Generals.

Titles are all very particular, the higher the position the more important it is, otherwise how could Lang Sheng, a first-rank general who can command the three armies at the border and made illustrious military exploits, be secretly scorned by those real nobles in the capital?
How come those who want to get married to the General's Mansion are all newly-emerged families, or concubines from big families?

The title given to Lang Sheng by the emperor seems to be a favor, but it actually carries too many things that make people criticize.

In the prince's mind, isn't it stupid for Lang Sheng, who can truly regard the title of emperor as a favor and be grateful for him?
If he had enough military power behind him like Lang Sheng and could do too many things, how could he be like Lang Sheng and still be secretly despised and isolated in the capital?

The prince looked down on Langcheng from the bottom of his heart, thinking that this is a non-threatening existence, this is a knife, so after knowing the big scandal of Wang's, although the prince brought Wang to plead guilty in front of the emperor, it is true I don't take this matter very much in my heart.

He is the crown prince, even if Lang Sheng was ignorant of current affairs and refused to accept his invitation, he would not dare to disrespect him.

Wang is his side concubine, so she should be regarded as the master of a subject like Lang Cheng. Isn't it easy for the master to find something in the servant's house?

As long as he puts on such an attitude of pleading guilty, Lang Sheng should be grateful for Dade's acceptance. He was originally just a nobody, and no matter how the title given to him by the emperor was criticized, he also received great favor from the royal family. Should go down this step.

The prince even thought that this time the Wang family would break into the General's Mansion because of the lack of strict family education in the General's Mansion, allowing such a lowly and lewd woman like Huang Yiyi to enter his house and seduce him, if he wants to take Huang Yiyi Incorporated into the mansion, then the general's mansion must give some explanation.

The prince has already started to think about how to use Huang Yiyi's affairs to draw Lang Sheng into his side, and then Xu Qingluo naturally also fell into his hands.

The bad nature of many men is that the more they can't get it, the more they want it, the more they desire it.

Xu Qingluo was unable to get it again and again for the prince, which had already made him obsessed.

That woman, no matter what, he wanted to get it in his hands and have a good time.

The prince has already thought about how to deal with him after using Langsheng to achieve his own goals. After all, Xu Qingluo loves Langcheng but ignores him, which makes the prince very annoyed.

But all of these thoughts are due to Lang Sheng's attitude and words at the moment, which have turned into anger and disbelief: "Lang Sheng, how dare you!"

He is very clear about Wang's daily actions. What Lang Sheng said is not wrong at all, and even went too far, but Wang's only dealt with a few palace servants from humble backgrounds. As far as the crown prince is concerned, it is not enough for him and Wang He turned his face, and he also felt that it would be more beneficial for him to deal with those palace people to make Wang feel better.

After all, behind the Wang family is the Wang family.

"Father, everything Lang Sheng said is slander. My son never knew that the Wang family would do such a thing. In the past, the Wang family was quite docile in the East Palace, and he was very attentive to his son. In the East Palace, the palace is often replaced. people, but those palace people are all Yao Er, in order not to delay their marriage when they reach the age, so Jia En let them leave the palace and return home."

The prince suppressed the killing intent towards Langcheng in his heart, knelt down in front of the emperor and said so.

Originally, because of Lang Sheng's words, she was guilty of dying, and her body was as soft as a puddle of mud. After hearing the crown prince's "refuted" words for herself, a light flashed in her eyes, and the eyes that looked at the crown prince became tingly. affectionate.

At this moment, she doesn't regret at all that she went to find Huang Yiyi's troubles. The only thing she regrets is that she didn't bring more good hands, so that she was under the control of others, and brought the matter that could have covered up the past to the emperor.

"Father, my daughter-in-law is indeed wronged. My daughter-in-law dismissed a group of palace people because she couldn't bear them to waste their youth. How could I have thought that if something happened to someone now, it would be blamed on my daughter-in-law."

Wang looked at the prince while talking, and gave him more affectionate eyes.

She also wants to understand now that she is the daughter of the Wang family, as long as she refuses to admit it, the emperor will not do anything to her for the sake of some untouchables.

The prince gave her a look of "I believe in you", but he was a little impatient in his heart. At this moment, shouldn't this stupid woman cooperate with him quickly and get rid of him?
On weekdays, he talks about how much he cares about himself, but in fact he just talks about it.

The crown prince is not an idiot, after seeing Lang Sheng's resolute appearance, he believed in his heart that Lang Sheng really had evidence of Wang's persecution. At this time, what needs to be done is not sophistry, but to quickly pick himself out.

He believed in Wang Shi, believed that Wang Shi was a docile person, so if Wang Shi did some serious evil, it had nothing to do with him, he didn't know.

The two have stayed together for many years, but when it comes to the word tacit understanding, it is ridiculous that there is no slightest. When it is dangerous, each only cares about protecting themselves.

The emperor's eyes swept over the Crown Prince and Wang Shi, and then landed on Lang Cheng: "Langqing, what Wang Shi did in the General's Mansion is indeed over the top, and it didn't cause any excessive consequences, so stop it in time. , the Crown Prince and the Wang family also have the intention to make amends, so let’s forget about it.”

The emperor's words not only let the affairs of the general's mansion go, but even concealed the personal lives that Lang Sheng said.

His meaning was obvious, he didn't want to pursue it any further, and told Lang Sheng not to interfere any more, as if the person who scolded the prince and the Wang family angrily just now was not him.

The corners of the prince's lips could not help but twitched, and he lowered his head, worried that his smile would be too much for the emperor to dislike. Look, no matter how evil Lang Cheng was, his father would always be on his side.

Mrs. Wang also heaved a sigh of relief, she straightened her body a little bit, and looked at Lang Cheng with a hint of complacency in her eyes, what kind of general, it really is just a famous name, the emperor is so disrespectful.

"Langqing, are you satisfied with my reconciliation?"

The emperor spoke again.

Lang Sheng tightly clenched the hands hidden under his sleeves, he lowered his head deeply, listening to the emperor's voice above his head, it was still that seemingly generous voice, and it was the same day he brought his personal guards He went back to Beijing to personally lift him up, named him a first-rank Pegasus General, and praised him for defending his family and country, being loyal, and an unworldly talent. The emperor told him to hand over the border barrier to him, believing that he would be able to resist the aliens at the border. able to protect the well-being of the people.

Those words were still in my ears, and at the moment they overlapped with the voice of the emperor, Lang Cheng felt cold for a moment, one person will not be loyal to another person for no reason, what Lang Sheng did most with Lang father at the beginning was to learn blacksmithing How could he teach him the principles of loyalty? As a citizen of Daqing, I just had an idea in my heart, knowing that it is right to protect the family and the country, and there will be no more.

Later, he accidentally fell into a different school, and that master brainwashed Lang Cheng more than once. Lang Sheng was grateful to that master for teaching him skills and allowing him to grow up. In his heart, he even regarded that master as a substitute for his father at first.

But at the end, the ambition of the foreign sect was finally exposed. His master was from a foreign race, and his master wanted the world of Daqing, and he was a well-polished and best chess piece in his master's hands.

It should have gone smoothly, but it was a pity that Lang Sheng insisted from the beginning to the end that he was from Daqing and should protect the border people, and refused to cooperate with other races. That's why he later defected from the sect, and when he entered the capital for the first time in ten years , the first time he met the emperor, when he was so valued by the emperor, and the moment he entrusted the safety of the country and the people to be happy, he thought he had found the goal of life and the goal of allegiance. At this moment, he realized that he had never seen it clearly. The true face of the emperor on the throne.

"Langqing?"

The emperor's voice was a little low, because Lang Sheng remained silent for a long time.

"Chen, I understand!"

Lang Sheng said every word, feeling bitter in his heart, Xu Qingluo reminded him time and time again, he also knew in his heart that the emperor didn't trust him, the emperor was not as good as he thought, but there was never a moment like It is generally understood at this moment.

"Those people you met wandering outside the palace gate were probably taken advantage of by others. Langqing, you should arrange them well after you go back."

When Lang Sheng bid farewell, the emperor left another sentence.

".Yes."

"Father, Erchen and Yao'er also resigned first."

The prince watched Langcheng walk out of the room, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he lowered his eyes to the emperor and bid farewell. What did Langcheng think he could do to the East Palace?

It's basically hitting a stone with an egg, delusional, and after a while, he will let Lang Sheng be taught a lesson!

"Prince, in your position in the Eastern Palace, you not only have to be outstanding in virtue, but also have to be observant, self-cultivating and governing the family. Even a small family can't be discerning, and you don't know what the side concubine is doing. I really have some doubts about whether you can inherit my position in the future."

The emperor's words were not serious, but to the crown prince, they were struck down with a heavy hammer: "Father emperor?"

He was stunned at first, then terrified in his heart, lowered his head even more, and said in a weak voice, "Father, it's my son who failed to live up to Father's expectations."

Does the old thing really want to change the prince?

However, this idea kept flickering in the prince's heart, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Forget it, you are the crown prince chosen by me after all, do well in the future, don't let the people around you fool me at will, that's my confession to me."

Seeing the prince trembling, the emperor waved his hand with satisfaction from the bottom of his heart, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

After the prince came out of the emperor's bedroom, he was blown by the cold wind through the window. He felt chills all over his body, his hands and feet were cold, but there was a trace of hot ambition burning in his heart.

He is a prince, he is the crown prince under one person and above ten thousand people, but when the emperor is around for a day, he will work harder and tell himself that his status is enough, and the emperor can teach him a lesson anytime and anywhere. Lesson, if you want to scold, scold.

It's so unfair!

"Your Highness, why don't those untouchables who tried to falsely accuse the concubine not let Lang Sheng hand over their whereabouts?"

Wang's voice rang in the prince's ears.

The prince came back to his senses, frowned and looked at the woman who had caused him so much trouble, his eyes were full of impatience.

He was worried about the emperor's words, but she was kind, she was so stupid that she hadn't grasped the point yet.

The prince pulled out the corner of the clothes held by Wang Shi with one hand, and said coldly: "You have to be more careful to this palace recently, what happened to those 'false accusations' has nothing to do with you!"

Listening to the prince's sarcastic remarks, especially the prince's deliberate emphasis on the word of false accusation, Wang felt aggrieved in her heart.

"Your Highness, I am really wronged. I just want to see what the woman His Highness values ​​is like, and want to know what is wrong with Yao'er. Your Highness, you would rather go to those bad girls outside. Those who are not clean, also don’t want to be with concubines.”

Before Wang's resentful words were finished, the crown prince had already left her far away.

Now the crown prince doesn't want to look at Wang Shi, a woman who made him lose her adult and is stupid and ignorant.

"Take advantage."

The emperor suddenly shouted, and behind him a figure appeared like a ghost, half kneeling in front of him.

"The people on Langcheng's side should leave, and follow the prince well recently. Write down everything he has done, and don't miss anything."

Although Lang Cheng was a little too upright, but what did he say about his temperament, he had always been loyal to himself. Although the emperor looked like he was trying to save Lang Cheng's face today, in fact, he trusted him even more. He felt that he could understand Lang Cheng.

As for the prince, his ambition seems to be a little too big, don't think that the emperor has not discovered the prince's repeated attempts to win over Lang Cheng and control the military power.

The emperor's eyes dimmed, and his fingers clenched the handrails. Although his body has not been as good as before, as long as the elixir is refined, it will not be a problem to live another ten or twenty years, and the prince may not be able to wait.

-

"General, those people are eager to testify and want to bring the Wang family to justice. They asked when they could meet in person." Your Majesty.

Feitian saw Langcheng, and hurried forward, and was about to report to him about the people persecuted by the Wang family, but the man waved his hand to stop him.

Looking at Feitian's puzzled eyes, Lang Sheng felt more and more bitter in his heart. He rubbed his face to clear himself up, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Your Majesty means that all things should be let bygones be bygones!"

When he said those four words, let past pasts not be blamed, Lang Sheng gritted his teeth extremely tightly.

Those families who were persecuted by the Wang family, those innocent people who died in the palace, and those faces full of expectation and trust in him made him feel extremely uncomfortable when he said these words.

"Bang!" Feitian slammed on the tree trunk next to him: "How could this be!"

The soldiers saw too many dead people, and everyone had an unknown number of lives on their hands, but all they killed were enemies, and they were all enemies who had to be killed in desperate struggle on the battlefield. Those who are persecuted are all innocent women, all those poor people.

And people like Wang, there are too many people in the capital, men, women, teenagers, girls, regardless of age, as long as they are in high positions, I don’t know how many people with clean hands are in the palace. During Suwei's time, only the Qianchen Palace of Concubine Xian and the Queen's Qifeng Palace had so many corpses brought out openly and secretly.

What makes people most angry is not those people who care about human lives, but the person sitting in the highest seat, who doesn't care about the lives of people in the People's Palace. Compared with the blood of thousands of innocent people, the person who cares most is whether his seat is good or not. Stability is the benefit of those nobles.

"Place those people properly, don't let anyone find their whereabouts, there are still some belongings in my house, you go and take them at night"

Lang Sheng confessed to Feitian.

"General, is that really the case?"

There was bright red overflowing from Feitian's fist, and blood was rubbing against the tree trunk.

"It won't be left alone."

Lang Sheng's words were so low that no one could hear them clearly except Fei Tian who was in front of him.

-

Lang Sheng stepped down from his duties in the palace, and the first one to go back was not the General's Mansion, but the Xu Mansion next door.

He sent someone to take care of Xu Qingluo, so he knew what happened in the general's mansion today and everything in the courtroom, but he didn't think that he hadn't protected the other party well, and the other party protected him first.

His heart twitched when he thought that Xu Qingluo was almost punished a hundred times in court.

Xu Qingluo was reading a book, and the faint candlelight reflected on her beautiful face like a pearl, dividing that beautiful face into several fragmented color blocks, but it didn't look ugly, on the contrary, it was more strangely beautiful .

Lang Sheng stared at Xu Qingluo obsessively, and couldn't walk for a while.

She likes to read books very much, and she likes to sit quietly and read by herself under the candlelight. The way she reads is very beautiful, and she can completely attract people's eyes to the magic power that cannot move.

She also likes refining medicine, writing, reading travel notes, taking notes, walking slowly in the garden, swaying gently on the swing, sitting quietly by the lake and staring at the swimmers in the water. fish.

She was also very brave, braver than any other woman he knew, even more than most men. Xu Qingluo did not marry Lang Sheng. When it is difficult and dangerous, the girl is like a wall, like a mountain, blocking the front.

Every time he knew a little more, he was amazed by her, and every time he knew a little more about her, he felt that he was not worthy of her wholeheartedly.

"Laoer."

The man couldn't help but sighed, hesitantly wanted to leave.

The girl's eyes met his, and Lang Cheng saw the blooming flowers with his own eyes.

"You are here, come in quickly, don't dislike the cold outside."

With a face like a flower, her smiling eyebrows and eyes are all crooked.
