After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 269
Jiang Shishi: "."

Greeting ceremony?It would be good if the king of Chu didn't kill the prince, what good gift can he prepare for the prince?

Not long after, several burly men brought in a large item covered with a red cloth.

They placed the large piece in the middle of the hall, and one of the men lifted the red cloth.

Immediately, a six-foot-high chrysanthemum stone ornament appeared in front of everyone.

A subordinate of the King of Chu also made an introduction: "Your Highness, this is a meeting ceremony prepared by His Highness the King of Chu for you. It is a stone carving made of natural chrysanthemum stones at the bottom of the river and using the natural patterns of the stones. , is an elegant art of natural and humanistic reconstruction”

The eloquence was very good, so he blew a lot, Jiang Shishi stood behind the prince, and looked at the stone sculpture in the middle.

I saw that the chrysanthemum stone was black, and there were lifelike chrysanthemums in various poses and with different expressions in the stone.

Some of those flowers are in bud, and some are in full bloom.

The masons also carved plums, bamboos, and birds and animals on it, including a giant python.

The python is similar to the python pattern on the prince's brocade robe, adding a sense of solemn majesty to the stone carving.

This stone sculpture is beautiful, but it is just that, with such a large stone sculpture, it is inevitable that the prince will have difficulty moving around with him.

Especially when being hunted down, it will be even more inconvenient.

Unless someone transports this stone sculpture back to the capital, it will be a huge expense
"What a finely carved chrysanthemum stone sculpture, the King of Chu has a heart." Pei Xuanling smiled and said, "It's just that, when I was inspecting the river a few days ago, didn't the Prince of Chu's mansion already give me a big gift? Why did I give it again today? A meeting gift?"

As soon as the voice fell, the whole hall instantly became quiet.

The expressions on the faces of King Chu and his son are even more colorful.

However, the King of Chu was an old man after all, so he was more calm. The expression on his face was only stiff for a moment, and then returned to normal.

On the other hand, Yi Enyang next to him, his face changed from yellow to white, then from white to blue, and finally from blue to purple, which has evolved to the extreme!
"." The King of Chu asked in surprise: "Before this, our Chu Palace did not present any gifts to His Royal Highness, did His Royal Highness make a mistake?"

"A few days ago, when I was patrolling the river in the East Lake, I was assassinated by a group of assassins at night. The people below found tokens with the word "Yang" engraved on the assassins. And when I just arrived in Chudi, some people went around Spread rumors and ruin Gu's reputation, and among those people, there are also 'Yang' tokens on their bodies."

"If I remember correctly, such tokens come from your guards of Chu, and the guards of Chu are under your control, right?"

While speaking, Pei Xuanling took out the token from his sleeve pocket.

Huang Dechang took the token and handed it to King Chu.

"." The king of Chu stared at the token engraved with the word "Yang" for a few breaths. He first said to the prince: "This token is indeed from the guards under me, but the battalion with the word "Yang" has always returned. Dogs are in charge."

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Yi Enyang, "Haven't you been in charge of the guards of Yangziying all the time? What's going on here? You really recruited this king!"

"Father, I am indeed in charge of the guards of the Yangzi Battalion. They can assassinate the prince and damage the reputation of the prince. It has nothing to do with me, but a subordinate under me." He took out a piece of rice paper, "Look, this is the statement made by that subordinate, and he has already drawn a mark on it."

The King of Chu looked at the contents on the rice paper, and asked someone to pass the rice paper to the crown prince, "Your Highness, you also heard that this matter is done by the people below, and has nothing to do with the dog."

Pei Xuanling didn't even read the content on the paper, he just asked, "Where is the person who assassinated Gu?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, I have already beheaded such daring and reckless people. Only in this way can I express my guilt and sincerity to Your Highness!" .

As soon as Pei Xuanling heard it, he knew that Yi Enyang was eager to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

"Is this the sincerity of your Chu Palace?" A sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, Pei Xuanling looked up at Chu Wang and his son, "Why does Gu feel that this sincerity is far from enough?"

Yi Enyang: "."

The King of Chu asked, "I don't know what the Crown Prince thinks?"

"Although this incident was done by the people under the son, it was caused by the son's negligence in discipline." Pei Xuanling asked casually: "The king of Chu is in charge of the military in Chu, and I just want to ask the king about the improper management of Shangfeng. , causing subordinates to make mistakes, according to military law, how should we deal with it?"

Yi Enyang glared at the prince, "Prince, our Chu Palace has already given you face, you don't want it"

"Shut up!" the King of Chu stopped Yi Enyang, and then apologized to the prince, "Your Highness, Shangfeng was not managed properly. According to the military law, the staff should be twenty!"

Yi Enyang: "Father."

King Chu: "Kneel down and apologize to the prince."

Yi Enyang looked at King Chu with an unbelievable expression, thinking he had heard it wrong, "What? You actually."

"Kneel down!" Before Yi Enyang could finish speaking, the King of Chu ordered sharply.

Yi Enyang pursed his lips tightly, gritted his teeth and knelt down towards the prince, but the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

King Chu: "Apologize to the prince!"

"." Yi Enyang gritted his teeth fiercely, and said to the prince forcefully: "This time, I failed to manage the people under me well, which caused His Royal Highness to be assassinated. Please forgive me."

Although he apologized, when he looked at the prince, there was anger in his eyes.

The veins on the sideburns were twitching, and it seemed that he was not convinced.

Pei Xuanling just looked at Yi Enyang without saying a word.

The King of Chu on the side smiled apologetically, "Your Highness, I have been spoiled and pampered since I was a child, and that's why I developed a reckless and impulsive temperament. Please don't remember the villain's faults, sir, and don't be as knowledgeable as him."

The father and son of the King of Chu, the father kept apologizing, and the son knelt down, so Pei Xuanling held his lips and said calmly: "You have dealt with the son according to the military law, which is already quite strict. gone."

The King of Chu smiled awkwardly, and ordered in a deep voice, "Come here, drag the prince out to beat the twenty army sticks!"

"Father, did you make a mistake!" Yi Enyang yelled at the King of Chu, "You have never hit me since you were a child, but today you want to hit my army stick for the sake of the prince! I am your own son, the only one you have! dear son."

No matter what Yi Enyang said, King Chu had someone drag him out.

After about a cup of tea, Yi Enyang cried out in pain.

The king of Chu continued to talk with the prince in the hall, wondering if it was because his precious son was screaming too badly, or because of something else, the king of Chu was absent-minded when chatting with the prince.

The matter was almost said, the king of Chu left the prince to eat at the mansion, but the prince declined.

When he left Chu Palace, he saw Yi Enyang lying on the bench, his back was beaten to pieces.

The military stick was beaten harder than ordinary boards. It stands to reason that after being beaten with twenty military sticks, the scars are far more serious than this.

Some people couldn't bear it, and some died on the spot.

The king of Chu had only such a son, probably because he was afraid that Yi Enyang would be beaten to death, so he told the people below to beat him up more lightly.

When passing by Yi Enyang, even though his back was full of scars, the kid still stared at Pei Xuanling with scarlet eyes.

"Even if you stare out your eyes, you can't help but be alone." When passing by Yi Enyang, Pei Xuanling stopped and looked down at Yi Enyang.

After saying these words, Yi Enyang's face flushed red with anger, "Who said this son can't do anything to you? Don't rush to leave Chudi if you have the ability. Let's compete again when I recover from my injury?"

Pei Xuanling: "For a dude like you who doesn't do his job all day long, knows to cause trouble everywhere, and needs his aging father to help you wipe his ass, Gu doesn't even bother to compete with you."

"Prince! You... don't bully me too much!" Yi Enyang's back hurt like hell, he gritted his teeth and said: "Who says I'm a brat? I'm going to be crowned this year, okay? Not much!"

Pei Xuanling: "Age does not represent the maturity of a person's mind. Even if the king of Chu is too old to walk in the future, maybe you will ask him to wipe your ass for you. What's the difference?"

"How do you know that I will still be the same after many years?" Yi Enyang glared at the prince, "Prince, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Pei Xuanling: "Oh? What bet?"

Yi Enyang: "When I can stand alone, shall we compete again?"

"Okay, wait alone." Pei Xuanling looked at Yi Enyang steadfastly, "It's just that when you can stand alone, it won't be a matter of the next life, right?"

After speaking, he ignored Yi Enyang's grinning face, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Jiang Shishi followed behind the prince, carefully pondering what the prince and Yi Enyang said.

Those words sounded poisonous. Although they were not very harmful, they were extremely insulting.

But if you think about it carefully, it's more like the prince deliberately used provocative methods to anger and humiliate Yi Enyang, but it was actually harsh advice.

Judging from the current situation, aren't the Crown Prince and Chu Palace sworn enemies?

Why bother educating Yi Enyang?
Jiang Shishi looked back with some doubts, and saw the King of Chu hunched over, bowing respectfully to the crown prince, "Send off your highness the crown prince respectfully."

Jiang Shishi: "."

I thought that the king of Shu was already a master of acting, but now it seems that the king of Chu is also very skilled in acting.

He clearly wanted to take the prince's life, but on the surface he had to act respectful, so he did not hesitate to hit his precious son with twenty military sticks.

After the prince and others left Chu Palace, Yi Enyang lay on the bench and howled.

"Ah! It hurts me to death! My father doesn't have my son in his heart, I can't stay in this palace anymore, you just throw me on the street, just let me die outside."

The King of Chu looked at the injury on his precious son's back, and pointed at the two subordinates who were standing aside to torture him, "What's the matter, didn't this king tell you to be gentle?"

Those people were so frightened that they knelt down one after another, "My lord, this subordinate is already light enough."

The king of Chu wanted to touch the injury on his precious son's back, but he was a little bit helpless, so he got angry at his servants, "Hurry up and take the prince to the house, and ask the doctor to show him to the prince!"

Yi Enyang: "What do you want the government doctor to look at? Just let me die of pain!"

King Chu: "My dear son, be obedient. As a father, I will ask the doctor to prescribe medicine for you."

"The crown prince hunted you down last year and caused you to be seriously injured. I kindly avenged you, but you beat me like this for the sake of the crown prince. Tell me, do you have another son outside?!"

"Nonsense, you are the only son as a father."

Yi Enyang said reluctantly: "Anyway, I don't care. The prince should leave Chudi soon. Last year he hurt you like that, and this year he hurt me like this. No matter what you say, you can't make him leave Chudi alive." Chudi!"

"Okay, okay, as long as you feel at ease and let the doctor look at your injury, I will do what you want as a father." King Chu patiently coaxed his precious son, "It's just that, didn't you make an appointment with the prince just now, and you will compete with the prince in the future?"

"If you kill him for your father, who will you compete with in the future? Besides, don't you want to change your mind, but you are very immature now. No wonder the crown prince says you are a brat."

Yi Enyang was so angry that he shut himself up, "."

Seeing that his son had stopped talking, the King of Chu waved his palm and asked someone to carry Yi Enyang away.

**
Now that the affairs in Chudi were almost done, Pei Xuanling still had a lot of places to inspect, so he didn't stay in Chudi any longer.

Everyone returned to the restaurant for lunch, took a nap in the afternoon, packed their bags, and left Chudi in a carriage.

In the evening, the prince and others left through the main city gate.

Not long after leaving the main city gate, Jiang Shishi lifted the curtain of the car, her eyes fell on the dark street, and she asked casually, "Your Highness, where are we going next? Which way are we going?"

Pei Xuanling was reading a book, and seeing the woman asked, he replied casually: "Next, I'm going to inspect the rivers in several prefectures and prefectures in the south of Chudi, and I'll take the official road."

"It's the official road again." Jiang Shishi put down the curtain of the car, "Your Highness, you see that we have been on the road all this way, and we haven't found a place to have a good time."

"Although we have to do political affairs, we also have to enjoy life. There are not so many rivers around Chudi, or we can go by water instead, and we can swim in the lake. This is called life and business. What do you think?"

According to the book, the king of Chu, as the Mu Wang party, got the order of the Mu Wang party and could not let the prince leave Chu land alive.

If this happened when the emperor was still alive, the king of Chu would not dare to do anything to the prince in Chu, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the court and the emperor.

But now that the emperor is seriously ill, the King of Chu is attached to King Mu's party, so he naturally has to obey King Mu and take the prince's life in Chu.

As long as the crown prince is killed and King Mu ascends the throne, it will be beneficial and harmless to the Chu Palace.

Once the prince left Chu, the king of Chu, as a vassal king, could not reach other places, and it would be difficult to kill the prince.

Therefore, shortly after the prince left the main city gate, the king of Chu in the book set up an ambush on the official road that night and chased and killed the prince.

In other words, the prince will be assassinated tonight!
This is also the reason why Jiang Shishi asked the prince to change to the waterway.

Pei Xuanling, who was reading a book, paused for a moment, then looked up at the woman, "Aren't you seasick? Still want to go by water?"

Jiang Shishi: "."

When she was on a cruise in Beijing last year, she fainted on the boat because she helped the prince avoid disaster by spoiling the story. Those imperial doctors said that she fainted because of seasickness.

When did this happen, the prince still remembers it so clearly.

"That's right." Jiang Shishi smiled sarcastically, "It's okay if you don't go to the lake. I heard that several states and prefectures in the west of Chudi have good scenery. Why don't we choose a place with good scenery and go for a visit first, and then go to inspect the south. How many states and capitals are there?"

The west side and the south side are completely different directions, and the paths they take are also very different, so they can avoid the place where the king of Chu ambushed the prince.

When the king of Chu realized that the prince had changed his way, the prince had already left Chu, and he had no choice but to take the prince's life.

Pei Xuanling: "." Along the way, Roubaozi has endured hardships and stood hard work.

No matter how greedy she is, she can eat those dry food in big mouthfuls, just like eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

Sometimes at the country inn, or in a carriage for the night, she would collapse and fall asleep.

Even in the face of vicious assassins, she can deal with them with ease.

When he said what way to go, or rushed to the next place, she always followed him obediently, without crying bitter or tired.

It will not be like now, clamoring to go to play.

Facing the abnormal woman, Pei Xuanling narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the woman for a few breaths.

"There are still many places I haven't visited, and my father is seriously ill. I can't stay outside for too long. I still have to finish inspecting the water conservancy in various places as soon as possible, return to Beijing as soon as possible, and fulfill my filial piety in front of my father." Pei Xuanling insisted: "The official way It is spacious and flat, and there are all shortcuts, so there is no diversion.”
