Chapter 260 Pressure From All Sides
"Return to Spring Hall should be very busy these days. When I passed by on my way back to Beijing this time, I saw patients queuing up to get their medicines, but they had already lined up at the door."

Seeing the current grand occasion of Huichun Hall, she also felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't worry, Wangfei. In the past few days, whatever you say, you have to rest at the mansion before going back. I have already told them that Wangfei is not in good health and needs to rest for a few more days."

Seeing Siqi beheading first and then playing, Wang Yuetong couldn't help but blamed: "You rejected them like this, they still think we are showing off. It's okay, I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

"How can this work!"

Siqi exclaimed.

"Princess, you forgot, you have been here recently, but your body is not in good condition!"

After being reminded, Wang Yuetong remembered it now, got up and took out the bottle of Suzaku from the medicine box.

A few days ago, she was away from home, so she stopped taking this medicine.Now that he's back in the capital, he must do enough deception.

"Fortunately, my complexion is not good today, so that the emperor will not see the flaw... It is thanks to your reminder, if not, the king of Thailand will be in trouble."

If the emperor suspected the king of Thailand because of such a small mistake, it would be too wronged.

"Then now, is the princess willing to rest at the mansion for a few more days?"

Siqi gave her a playful smile, with a triumphant smile on her face.

During the few days when Wang Yuetong was resting in the palace, she often heard rumors from outside.

Every day after King Jing went to court, he would send people over to tell what happened that day.

In the past few days, the emperor did not respond to the injustice of respecting the king, and even greatly praised the prince for his bravery in killing the enemy, but he did not show respect to the king, and only gave some symbolic rewards. .

It is conceivable that such a biased behavior will definitely attract a lot of criticism.

On the one hand, the emperor sent someone to spread an edict to slander King Jing in the street, and then did not produce conclusive evidence to prove that King Jing escaped before the battle, but he still refused to clear his grievances for him. Many dissatisfaction.

On the other hand, all the dignitaries in the royal family who knew the prince well in Beijing knew how much he weighed and how capable he was.How could such a cynical and cynical brat serve under King Jing's hands?

Who repelled the Bei Cang army, but anyone with a brain knows it in his heart.

But it was because the prince won the emperor's heart that he helped the prince steal the military merit of respecting the king.

It would be fine if he just took the credit for himself, but the emperor had to humiliate and slander the king, which showed his villainous heart.

The difference between the emperor's attitude towards the crown prince and his attitude towards King Jing is too obvious, it is really chilling.How can such a muddled and unpopular king make people feel at ease to support him?
For a time, both the court and the people expressed dissatisfaction with the behavior of the emperor and the prince.

Just when rumors spread that the city was full of wind and rain, the lord of Beicang Kingdom personally sent a group of envoys to the city to thank him.

It's just that although this kindness is to thank the emperor, there is no mention of the emperor's crown prince inside and outside the words, but three words are inseparable from respecting the king.

The envoy specifically stated that all the credit for this battle belongs to King Jing.This trip to Beijing is to thank King Jing for his kindness of not killing.

As a result, the people in the whole city were boiling. They already had a lot of dissatisfaction with the royal family. Now that they have got the emperor's handle, they must take a good breath of anger for King Jing.

Under the pressure of many parties, the emperor can only return all the credit that originally belonged to King Jing to him.However, the emperor treated him so lightly, which aroused even more dissatisfaction among the people.

In the end, many dignitaries in the DPRK and China jointly signed a letter, demanding compensation for King Jing in order to recover the previous derogation of his reputation.

Regarding this, the emperor was silent for a few days, and finally came up with a painless compensation.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor's edict said. King Jing Ye Qingming, brave and good at fighting, has made great achievements in resisting the enemy, and has won the hearts of the people. Therefore, King Jing and Princess Jing lead troops to tour the city today, and are loved and loved by the people. This is a gift!"

This time, the person who came to King Jing's Mansion to personally read the imperial decree was Eunuch Liu who was the most embarrassing in front of the emperor.

"My lord, please accept the order!"

Eunuch Liu smiled flatteringly, bowed his body, ran forward in a hurry, and humbly handed the imperial edict into King Jing's hands.

"My lord, this reward from the emperor is unprecedented. This kind of courtesy was only enjoyed by the emperor when he was traveling in the past!"

Eunuch Liu's words are true.

King Jing, when he just returned to the capital from the border, he had already dispatched soldiers outside the city, handed in their weapons, and only brought a team of bare-handed guards into the city, in order to cooperate with the strict security in the capital.

Whether it is a general who has won or lost a battle, he is not allowed to bring weapons to the capital. If there is a crime, the leader of the army can be killed first and then played.

Now the emperor actually allowed him to lead troops to tour the city today, which sounds like a great gift indeed.

It's just that in King Jing's eyes, it's just a good-looking show, but it's useless.

All the people in the city knew that respecting the king was wronged, so there was really no need for him to announce it to the world by visiting the city, and this move seemed to be a bit of a sensationalist.

"Eunuch Liu, I have accepted this imperial decree. Please also pass it on to the emperor. My younger brother is here to thank the emperor for his great kindness."

Despite all kinds of thoughts in his heart, King Jing still accepted the imperial edict calmly, and even exchanged polite words with Eunuch Liu.

"Don't worry, my lord, the servant will definitely bring you every word."

After seeing off Eunuch Liu, Wang Yuetong walked up to King Jing, and said with some worry: "It is really unprecedented for a military general to lead troops around the city. Will the emperor take this opportunity to slander the prince for treasonous intentions?" ?”

The emperor was about to be driven crazy by Wang Jing's recent limelight, and now he has no way to make a move, the purpose is just to make him suffer.

"If he really wants to use this to criticize you and me, we also have this imperial decree in our hands to prove it, so we are not afraid that he will deny it to death."

Saying so, King Jing opened the imperial decree and carefully looked at the seal on it. It was undoubtedly the emperor's imperial jade seal.

"The slap you use to slap yourself, of course, should be raised high and lowered gently, to give the people a reasonable explanation, whether you have lost anything, why not do it?"

As he spoke, King Jing tightly grasped the imperial decree in his hand.

"I'm afraid, the emperor not only doesn't want to lose, but also wants to collect the capital."

"Princess, this is your riding outfit. I have been looking for it for a long time before I found it!"

Siqi excitedly ran over with her clothes.
