Tibetan beads

In just a few days, Qi Jun's military supply eucalyptus became a scene of uproar.At first, everyone just discussed it privately, but as Hong Qing was escorted for inquiries, he soon reached the point of being known in the streets.

Since the establishment of the new dynasty, the prince has never appeared in the discourse of the common people as often as he is now, and he did not expect to become the center of public opinion for the first time.

Early in the morning, Qi Han and her husband went to Changle Tower for tea.

They deliberately asked for an elegant seat, which not only blocked the sight of outsiders, but also could clearly hear the various speeches in the lobby.

"It's really unreasonable. King Jin is fighting outside, and he is born to death. These villains are actually playing tricks behind their backs! The military supplies have gone wrong, and it is the soldiers on the front line who are injured! They did not die in the hands of the enemy, but they were killed by themselves, and they were killed. Is there any reason?"

"Hey, you don't have to be so excited. Although it happened, isn't it resolved later? It's not serious enough yet."

"That's also because there are so many capable people under King Jin's sect, and the solution is timely, but it can't wipe out the sins of those people."

"This is also..."

Then the topic turned around.

"What is the origin of this Hong Sima? He dares to do such a thing, and he has a lot of backing behind him, right?"

"I heard that the elder is a scavenger of Xie's family. He grew up in Xie's family since he was a child. He took a family study class with Xie's children. Later, he became an official in Qi County."

"In this way, it is half a Xie son."

The people of the time were born again, especially someone like Hong Qing who had been attached to the Xie family from the previous generation, and could not get rid of the relationship in this life, so it is not bad.

"Hmph, the front line is fighting. He only cares about his own interests and takes advantage of the court behind him. What's the difference between him and Shuoshu? Teaching such a person, Xie's family will be a loser!"

Someone more radical said: "You don't have to go around the corner. Without Xie's advice, does Hong Sima dare to do such a thing? It's not that Xie's has lost his way, it's simply an explanation from above!"

"Hey...you said that..."

"What are you afraid of? Someone did it, we can't say it? His Majesty's edicts allow us to talk about it. Can a mere quartermaster still cover his mouth?"

"Yeah, whether the prince did this or not, we need to find out. King Jin fought hard, how could he stab his brothers in the back? The world is not unified yet, so it's too early to kill the donkey?"

"I think it's scary. When Jiang Thief dies, the King of Jin deserves a lot of credit. In comparison..."

"If he has the ability, he will also go to war! King Jin is dead in the front line, how can people who enjoy happiness in the rear have any face?"

"That's the advantage of being born early, otherwise..."

In the elegant seat, Qi Han and Du Ming listened and their expressions became solemn.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher, the people drinking morning tea in the building slowly dispersed, Qi Han winked, and the couple got up and left the restaurant.

The two returned to the mansion in silence, and Qi Han just said, "It's not right, why is the public opinion so extreme? It's like trying to directly condemn the prince."

Du Ming nodded: "Based on the relationship between Hong Qing and the Xie family, it is not surprising that others make this association, but after all, it is the prince..."

The brothers of the Tian family are not on good terms, and there are private discussions. It is a bit abnormal to be so unscrupulous in public - His Majesty does not convict by words, but also depends on what matters, and criticizes the prince clearly, isn't he afraid of death?
"Then I enter the palace and tell the princess?"

However, Du Ming shook his head: "Let someone tell you, don't go in person. Everyone knows that you are the concubine's confidant. It's too eye-catching to enter the palace at this time."

Qi Han thought about it too, then said: "Then I will continue to investigate that matter."

Du Ming nodded, and his heart couldn't help but feel worried: "The princess is about to give birth, but it is an eventful autumn. I just hope that the princess will give birth smoothly and your Highness will return safely."

……

Xu Yin was eating snacks when he received the news.

She nodded, indicating that she understood.

Waiting for the others to retreat, Xiaoman asked: "Princess, didn't the grandfather say that we don't get involved? Why..."

Xu Yin looked at her and joked: "Yo, Xiaoman also found something wrong?"

"I'm not a fool!" Xiao Mandu said with a mouthful of lips, "These words are all aimed at the prince, no matter how you think about it, it's wrong."

Xu Yin laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is just an outpost, I don't think the means have been revealed yet!"

Xiao Sang echoed: "I used to listen to other people's stories, there is a word called shaking the bag, first tie the bag layer by layer, let the guests' minds follow, and when it's all finished, shake it off at one time, and then there will be a lot of laughter. Effect."

Xu Yin praised: "What you said is very true. It is obvious that the picture is not trivial."

Sure enough, under the rumors, the next day there was news that the prince was kneeling in front of the Mingguang Palace to plead guilty.

This is what the courtiers have seen with their own eyes, and those with access can naturally inquire about it.

Then the prince entered the Mingguang Palace and stayed there for a long time. Outsiders don't know what happened, but it is said that the prince fell ill after returning to the East Palace.

At this time, another voice came up.

"The prince and the King of Jin have always been in harmony with each other. It's unlikely that they would do such a thing, right? Besides, the prince is naturally weak and has a gentle temperament. He has never heard anything bad before."

"Actually, the Crown Prince's contribution is not small. His Majesty and the King of Jin are fighting outside, and it is entirely up to the Crown Prince to manage it. Do you think it is easy to preside over the government and ensure military supplies?"

"Yeah, there is no evidence, we have to look again."

"I heard that Mrs. Xie also sent someone here, knelt at the palace gate for a long time, and defended herself."

"Hey, are you saying this is too obvious? There are many capable people under the prince, so why use that Hong Qing who is inseparable from the Xie family!"

The matter involving the prince was quickly investigated by Dali Temple, and news was released within a few days.Hong Qing has already pleaded guilty, and the so-called fire was because he misappropriated military supplies.The cause was that his son was gambling excessively and diverted public funds in order to fill the hole. He planned to borrow a sum of money from the old master to fill it in later, but he was suddenly investigated, and he made this decision in a hurry.

The IOUs and witnesses of that Young Master Hong were all available, including the whereabouts of the money. There was no doubt about this matter, and Dali Temple quickly issued a judgment.

The announcement was posted, and the wind finally changed.

"It turned out to be that Hong Sima's own problem. It can't be blamed on the crown prince."

"Yeah, the prince has never been to Qi County. Even Xie's own family can't recognize it, right? Then what does Hong Qing's business have to do with him?"

"It's really an innocent disaster. After kneeling for a long time in vain, I fell ill."

"Yeah, I've been sick for several days, and I've suffered too much..."

In the palace, Xu Yin got the news, touched his stomach, and smiled: "So this is the purpose. Also, if you don't make such a fuss, who remembers that there is still a highness in the East Palace?"

Xiaoman asked in confusion, "Is that so? What's the use of this?"

"It's not over yet!" Xu Yindan said, "Let's see, the last move is the killer move."

A few days later, a news spread secretly.

The military needs a eucalyptus, in fact, someone deliberately targeted the prince.
