After marrying wrongly, I became the general's white moonlight

Chapter 195

The candlelight in the cell was dim, and although there were no windows, it always felt like the wind was blowing.

The subordinate lifted the white cloth, "Your Highness, please take a look."

The second prince covered his mouth and nose, his eyes were full of impatience, he stretched his neck to look, but the next second his pupils trembled, his eyes were full of inconceivable.

"Damn Pei Mo, dare to play tricks on His Highness!"

The mob who was beaten to death in front of him was not the one he wanted Pei Mo to intercept and kill at all, and Pei Mo dared to defy it!

The second prince was out of breath and waved his sleeves away.

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Mo deliberately asked for leave early and did not go to court, but the second prince was very angry.

After finally going to court, the second prince rushed back to the mansion vigorously and asked someone to 'invite' Pei Mo.

Pei Mo who rushed over humbly asked, "I don't know what the Second Highness is doing looking for the next official?"

Hearing the voice, the second prince turned around angrily, picked up the glazed teacup on the table and threw it at Pei Mo's feet.

"Are you too embarrassed to ask?" The second prince was furious, "What good things have you done yourself that you don't understand?"

Pei Mo quietly endured his thunderous anger, "I am a dull official, so I ask the second prince to give me some pointers."

The end is a look of ignorance.

The second prince's face turned red, and he pointed at Pei Mo's nose and scolded, "My Highness wants you to intercept and kill mobs, why do you still want to put people in the capital? It's fine if you put them in the capital, but you were caught by the people from Dali Temple , what are you doing!"

Pei Mo argued, "Your Majesty has already ordered the prisoners in the prison to beat him to death. Your Highness, calm down."

"Calm down, how do you want my Highness to calm down? You arrested the wrong person! This is not the mob that my highness wants you to intercept and kill. The mob that I really want you to intercept and kill may have infiltrated into the capital. Can you afford the trouble?" !"

"General Pei, my Highness originally thought you were clever. I gave you a chance and wanted to promote you. I never thought that you would be so worthless. Why can't you even do this well!"

The second prince slapped the desk, and his roar echoed throughout the study.

Pei Mo was so scolded that his head was bloody, he lowered his head and said nothing.

The second prince was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and find a way to find the mob hiding in the capital!"

"Your Majesty will immediately send someone to search for traces of the mob, and please appease Your Highness." Pei Mo got up, "My Majesty will leave."

"roll!"

Pei Mo turned around with his head down, and the moment he turned around, the shame on his face disappeared, replaced by a contemptuous smile.

The look of contempt was well hidden, and none of the guards present noticed it.

Pei Mo, who hurried back to the general's mansion, was anxious on the face, but what he thought in his heart was that he didn't know when the minister of Dali Temple would meet the saint and bring the mob before the emperor.

In fact, Pei Mo knew for a long time which mob the second prince wanted him to intercept and kill, so he followed suit and secretly sent someone to escort the mob who really wanted to report the second prince into Beijing.

The mob who was killed was actually not a mob from Cangzhou at all. He was a vicious bandit who came to the capital to commit crimes under the pretext of being homeless due to waterlogging in Cangzhou.

It happened that there was a need for a substitute, so Pei Mo caught this evildoer and brought him into the Dali Temple with an idea.

Sure enough, only an hour after Pei Mo returned to the General's Mansion, Liu Shen sent the news that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple had entered the palace to face the saint.

Pei Mo smiled knowingly, the next thing is enough for the second prince to drink a pot.

It is said that Dali Siqing in the capital is a strange person. He is obviously a literati, but he can act like a military commander. He is upright, hates the flattery of the officialdom, and hates the protection of officials and officials, so he offended many people in the court.

Once, the minister of the Dali Temple was falsely accused of turning black and white, tortured into tricks, and even used his position to amass wealth. The emperor was furious and ransacked the house of the minister of Dali Temple, but only found less than a hundred taels of silver from the house...

People who don't get along with the officialdom are people who are struggling to survive, but after this incident, Dali Siqing was like a fish in water, winning the emperor's heart, and the atmosphere in the officialdom has improved a lot since then.

Closer to home, the eunuchs in the palace hastily summoned the Second Prince after the minister of Dali Temple had a face-to-face meeting with the emperor, for some unknown reason.

It turned out that while the court was going down, the person who reported came to the gate of Dali Temple to beat the drums to express his grievances, and shouted words such as that the second prince was greedy for Cangzhou disaster relief money on the spot, which suddenly attracted a lot of spectators Ordinary people.

There was a lot of discussion about this in the streets and alleys, and for a while this matter became the talk of the common people after dinner.

To put it in a big way, the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, but to say it in a small way, this is the emperor's family business.

The minister of Dali Temple couldn't make a decision, so he took someone to report to the emperor. The emperor was furious and asked the people of Dali Temple to guard the informant and not allow any more mistakes.

"You are really a good son! Look at what good deeds you have done!" The emperor was furious in the imperial study.

The second prince kneeling at the bottom trembled and kowtowed to admit his mistake, "I know I was wrong, my father listened to my explanation!"

"Explanation? I think you are sophistry, but I want to see what flowers you can come up with."

The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved, and the eunuch next to him stepped forward to dissuade him, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

The eunuch glanced at the second prince, winked at him, and served the emperor a bowl of fresh tea.

"Father, I know I was wrong. I was just deluded for a while. I didn't spend the money, and it was all in the mansion. If the emperor doesn't believe me, I can send someone to bring the money to the palace right away! Father!" The emperor bypasses the minister, the minister really knows his mistake!"

The emperor asked suspiciously, "Since you don't spend it, why are you still greedy for the relief money? As a prince, you can't tell me what you want, and you insist on doing such shameful things?"

The second prince lowered his head and dodged his eyes, "I had a hard time when I was young. Since I was a child, I liked silver and didn't like other things. I beg my father not to drive me away. I was just fascinated by ghosts for a while. Please, please forgive my son this time!"

After saying this, the gray-haired emperor sat down on the dragon chair, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

When the second prince was young, his mother was not favored by his concubine, so he had a bad life. Later, the emperor felt ashamed of him and forgave him a lot.

Then something like the three princes happened, the emperor had few heirs, after expelling the three princes from Beijing, the emperor couldn't sleep at night, remembering how many princes had a happy relationship with him when they were young, so he felt even more sad.

The second prince is also a fine person, euphemistically mentioning the exiled third prince made the emperor sad, and he couldn't bear to punish him severely.

Seeing that the anger subsided, the eunuch at the side bowed quietly and retreated to the side.

Xu is that the emperor is old, the more he likes to recall the past, the more he recalls the past, the easier his heart softens, but now he can't get angry when he looks at the second prince who bows his head and admits his mistake.
