From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 216 King Huai of Chu Was Arrested Part [-]
Old Liu was also too anxious to lose his sense of proportion. Seeing that Cheng Ye had his own plans in mind, he gradually calmed down.After thinking about it, he reminded him: "My lord, the lord himself will never admit it, even if there is evidence in front of him. No one knows about this except the second young master, Jiang Cheng and the slaves. If you can't think of a way to save Jiang Cheng within today, then find a way to let him die in prison."

In this world, only the mouth of the dead is the strictest. In order to survive, and to go up and down the Chu Huai Palace, old Liu can only let Jiang Cheng down.

Cheng Ye's brain turned quickly, and he also thought of this method, but he did not agree, but said: "I see, you go down first. If you have nothing to do these two days, don't go out, lest you will be arrested again."

If the royal father was really arrested for raising private soldiers, then the emperor must have conclusive evidence, and he would not be sent to prison just by a little rumor or a few words.But this matter was kept a secret according to old Liu Tou, and the private soldiers were not kept in the capital, how could the emperor know?

Could it be that I thought too much, the emperor was purely angry because he swallowed nearly a million taels of silver from Prince Liang's mansion.

Thinking of Prince Liang's Mansion, he couldn't help thinking of Shangguan Xinrou, He Ye frowned slightly, then sat up straight and raised his brows and asked: "You said that only a few of you know about raising private soldiers, but what about Shangguan Xinrou, does she know?" ?”

His heart was stunned like a copper bell, and the old head Liu suddenly realized that he had forgotten her, and quickly nodded and replied like a chicken pecking at rice: "She knows that when the prince asked her for money, he promised her the head of the four concubines... "

"The head of the four concubines?" Immediately, Cheng Ye couldn't help laughing.She didn't even have a horoscope, and there were only tens of thousands of private soldiers. It was ridiculous and absurd to be the head of her four concubines.

And this is not the most ridiculous thing, the most ridiculous thing is that Chuhuai King is an idle prince, and he doesn't even have to go to court on weekdays, Cheng Ye really wants to know where his confidence comes from.What's more, he has only been a white-collar worker for so many years, but he still wants to rebel. It's crazy, it's a dream.

The head of the four concubines, it's no wonder Shangguan Xinrou is willing to do so, so it's because of this.

Seeing the contempt and sneer in Cheng Ye's eyes, and the sarcasm in his tone, Old Liu felt a little uncomfortable.After all, the prince is also his father, his own father, even if he was wrong and flirtatious, it was for this family.And if there were no gold and silver treasures from Prince Liang's Mansion, what would the prince use to support his private soldiers, and what would he use to squander them.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak, and dare not express the dissatisfaction in his heart, the old Liu head lowered his eyes and said: "Yes, the prince also came to her for the money, and he didn't have any feelings. And if she hadn't been entangled so hard back then, With the threat of death, the prince was afraid that the trouble would hurt his reputation, so he cut off contact with her a long time ago."

This statement is not false, but it is not true. According to his understanding of King Huai of Chu, he actually had some feelings at first.It's just that it slowly faded later, tired, bored, bored, and it was just to get revenge on Mei Zhannan and the money.

Seeing the smile on Cheng Ye's face, he didn't believe it at all, and the old Liu said again: "My lord, the lord is your father, I have high hopes for you, and the throne will definitely be passed on to you in the future, you can't..."

It felt like Old Liu was drawing cakes for him, and Cheng Ye felt a little harsh.Unwilling to listen, he interrupted directly and said, "I see, you can go out."

He is not that silly woman Shangguan Xinrou, and he is not a three-year-old child to be fooled by others.Maybe he really had high hopes for him when he was young, but in the past few years, he has not even allowed him to interfere in family affairs, so what high hopes can be placed on him.In his heart, Cheng Gan is the best and the son who is most like him.

If it wasn't for him occupying the status of the eldest son, and if several uncles of the grandfather's family were all officials in the court, maybe he would have given the position of the eldest son to Cheng Gan long ago.Doting on concubines and destroying wives, I am afraid that no one in the capital can find another husband like him, or father like him.

Seeing the impatience on his face, Old Liu knew that he didn't listen. He knelt down and said earnestly again: "Husband and wife are one body, father and son are in the same line, one is prosperous, and the other is damaged. It is about the safety of the palace and the lives of all the people in the family. , I also hope that the son of the world will abandon the past..."

"You talk too much, back down immediately!" Cheng Ye was so irritable and impatient that he lost his temper.To put it bluntly, Father Wang is romantic, but to put it bluntly, it is different from those small restaurants in Nanfeng Pavilion.Shangguan Xinrou had an affair with Shangguan Xinrou for money, and Shangguan Xinrou emptied Liangwang Mansion for him, dissipating all the family wealth. No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a story in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. It's really disgusting.

Seeing Cheng Ye's unkind expression, Old Liu didn't dare to say another word, and hurried out after saluting respectfully.

I don't know if Shi Ziye will really try his best to save the prince, but old Liu was worried and went to see Ruan Xiangqin again.Although Ruan Xiangqin was annoyed and hated King Huai of Chu to death, she knew that the whole family was connected.As old Liu Tou said, if the emperor really found out about this and verified it, then none of them would be able to escape, and none of them would be able to survive.

Having lived for her children all her life, Ruan Xiangqin was quickly persuaded.Without waiting for Cheng Ye's order, she hurriedly headed towards the palace with a big makeup.

The gate of the palace was guarded by Imperial Guards. Although Zongzheng Mingzhen was the emperor's brother-in-law, his carriage was inspected when he wanted to enter the palace.However, the inspection was not careful, and it was released after just a casual look.

After closing and covering all the camphor wood boxes one by one, Zi Chen drove the car slowly up the palace road.There was no one on the palace road, so Zi Chen looked around and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, why do you think the emperor arrested King Huai of Chu? Could it be that he committed some serious event?"

The person who reported the letter at Prince Chuhuai's mansion just now obviously didn't finish his sentence. Seeing his anxious appearance, there must be an inside story, but he didn't think about it all the way.

Zongzheng Mingzhen in the carriage had also been thinking about this matter, but he had no idea all the way, and said lightly: "The emperor is just a brother like King Chuhuai, and the empress dowager has always regarded him as an eyeball. Prison must not be a small matter. But it is not necessarily true, the emperor is obviously partial to the matter of adultery, maybe he is protecting him by doing so?"

Eyes widened involuntarily, Zi Chen was very curious, and blurted out: "Protect him, how is this possible, that's a cell, not a palace."

It's no wonder that Zi Chen's thinking is simple, it's really that the emperor's actions are puzzling.He was beaten yesterday, but today he is sent to prison. This turning over is faster than turning over a book.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Zongzheng Mingzhen smiled, looked left and right, answered his questions and said, "I'm just assuming that your daughter-in-law stole someone and you said you would kill others. Do you think Mei Zhannan can bear it?"
