Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 124 Not fit for purpose
After two pleasantries, the eldest prince said goodbye and went back with a smile.

As soon as he got on the carriage, his expression darkened.

Su Neishi didn't have a close relationship with me, but he told him this in private. It was just because his father wanted to remind him that if it wasn't his own, he shouldn't think about it.

The eldest prince clenched his fists hard, feeling bitter in his heart.

He was clearly better than the prince in everything, but because he was not the queen's child, even though he was the eldest son, he still had no chance of becoming emperor.

In this case, why bother to adopt him and tell him the truth in the end, so that he can only live in delusion?
"Some things, if you don't fight, who knows who will have the last laugh?"

The eldest prince returned to his previous gentleness and humility, as if he had never understood these things.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites prepared the ceremony for the emperor's return overnight, and they were busy without touching the ground.

The emperor was now at leisure. He was no longer isolated and helpless on Fragrant Mountain, but he was in a mood to observe everyone present.

The prince was busy, but he was quite organized. He used both Gu Zhao and Chen Jue in the right places, so he knew how to use them well.

The second son and the consort seemed to be having trouble, so they slept in separate rooms.

The emperor felt that he had to find an opportunity to ask her what was going on.

"I remember that there was a guard in Jinyi at that time. He was very brave and good at fighting. He was not much better than Dong Xuan and Deng Kai. What was he called?"

"You are talking about Jiang Qi. He blocked the prince's arrow and is still unconscious. He is being taken good care of by the imperial doctor."

The emperor nodded and said, "During the riding and shooting competition, he didn't seem to be on the field?"

Su Neishi was the emperor's confidant and his eyes and ears. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "This is a joke. He appeared inexplicably at night in the tent of a palace maid accompanying His Highness."

"Hasn't this matter been investigated clearly?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked: "His kung fu looks good. Did he touch it by himself?"

What the emperor cares about is whether those people are still loyal to him, and he doesn't really want to plead grievances for the palace maid. A palace maid is almost nothing compared to an ant, so why would he bother?
"His Highness the Second Highness even made love to him two days ago. He seems to be very fond of him. He said that after this period of time has passed, he will be a matchmaker for him and the palace maid. It seems to mean that although nothing happened between them. , but you must be responsible if you see it!”

The emperor glared at Su Neishi and said: "You old guy, you have to turn around when talking to me. I won't interfere in this matter... Liang Yuqi is investigating, right?"

"Yes, it seems that there is no progress yet."

"What an incompetent person." The emperor snorted coldly, which left an impression in his heart that he was useless.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be quite interested in this matter, and there was nothing else to do, Su Neisheng coaxed the emperor to Gao Xin, saying: "Speaking of this matter, I have some special speculations."

After showing off enough in front of the emperor, Su Nei Shi said: "Perhaps those Jin Yiwei who lived with Lord Jiang were jealous of Lord Jiang's talent, so they got him drunk so that he could compete in the competition. Lose your sense of proportion and don’t get too far ahead of them.”

"It's probably that Mr. Jiang has a low drinking capacity. He drank too much and wanted to sleep. He didn't see the place clearly and bumped into the palace maid's tent by mistake. He was so drunk that he broke the film and died of drunkenness. It was a simple mistake. A girl’s reputation.”

"You old cunning guy, you don't have to make excuses for those people who are accompanying you. If no one was besieging me to death, I'm afraid I won't let them go when I come back. But now, since I've been rescued by them, naturally I won't let them go." They will be punished, and this matter will be over." "Does Mr. Liang still need to continue investigating?"

"Just pass the message as you just said. It's just a farce. There's no need for real punishment. Besides, doesn't Jiacheng still have to protect their matchmaking for them?"

Su Neishi nodded and asked: "Where is Mr. Liang..."

"Just follow the normal reward and double it. It's a bit hard work no matter what."

The reward mentioned here refers to the hundreds of people who help resist the rebels. Everyone will be rewarded. Even the few frightened women who followed him had something to comfort them.

It's just that now that people are on their backs, they don't have time to issue an order.

Gu Zhao looked at the 'Hundred Households' in front of him, frowning and thinking carefully about what they said.

According to his confession, two months ago, he was just a market gangster in a remote area. He had three or five gangsters under him. A masked man said he wanted to make them rich, so he captured them and took them to the Jinling area to become bandits. Before he passed there, there were only a hundred people in the entire team, but then there were more and more people for no apparent reason.

They practiced for more than a month, mainly because they needed to be able to read the flags. He was banned from a hundred households because of his cleverness.

Gu Zhao somewhat believed that these people had just gathered.

They don't know how to escape, and the most important thing for a soldier is to be able to judge the situation. If the coach is not there, they will run away and look for opportunities to join the coach.

"For more than two months, don't you know what the coach looks like?"

"I've seen him before, but he's the kind of person who can't tell who he is if he's thrown into a crowd. He looks so ordinary."

"Don't you have any characteristics on your body?"

The man shook his head and said: "Except for the index fingers on both hands, which seem a little thicker than ordinary people, I really can't see any other characteristics. He spoke in Mandarin with a southern accent, but I didn't hear the specific part. .”

With just these clues, trying to find a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. More importantly, what is the purpose of this person doing this? Is it for the purpose of seeking to usurp the throne?
But even if he succeeds and kills the emperor and the prince, there are other princes and ministers in the court. Can killing the emperor and the prince overthrow a court?

Just relying on the little person in his hand? I'm afraid they can't even attack the county seat.

The prince frowned and called Gu Zhao out, saying, "What do you think of this matter?"

On that day, if Gu Zhao hadn't warned him before going forward, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left so many people behind. If that was the case, how could they survive?
Don't look at them as a group of stragglers, but with the coach there, they advance and retreat in a controlled manner, and they really don't look like a newly formed army.

Think about it, if that person had more than a thousand people in his hands, but hundreds of thousands of people, I'm afraid the Xia Dynasty would be overthrown.

Xiangshan was too familiar to him, so familiar that he didn't feel there would be any danger, which allowed others to take advantage of it.

"I'm afraid, what they said is true. They are a group of abandoned people, and abandoned people do not deserve to know the details."
