Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

"I know the purpose of your previous delay." Prince Yu was in a good mood and couldn't help but want to chat with Prince Dong.

The Eastern King looked at his smug face, frowned, and pointed at Cao Feng beside him: "Prince Yu, you'd better stop talking nonsense.

"I am indeed a military man, and my talking skills are average. But here stands Cao Tianguan, the official of the Ministry of Personnel.

“It’s his family’s tradition to curse in the streets.

"If Prince Yu's scalp is itchy, I will ask Cao Tianguan to speak."

As he said this, he called the eunuch in the corner of the hall, "Come, prepare some hot tea for Cao Tianguan!"

Unexpectedly, Cao Feng pressed the East King's hand and looked at Prince Yu: "The East King is old and can't help being irritable.

"Since Prince Yu has something to say, we might as well listen to it."

Prince Dun's face turned pale with fear when he heard that Feng Tang was seriously injured. His legs were so weak that he needed the help of the ministers beside him to stand up. At this moment, he was so anxious that he almost stuttered:

"Yes, yes! Let Uncle Yu speak!

"We are a family, we can discuss everything!"

The King of Dong glanced at the King of Dun, and Cao Feng also glanced at him;

Prince Dun was confused: What happened to me? Did I say something wrong? Isn't this what you mean by one person is black and the other is red?

The two of them turned away together with expressionless faces.

——I don’t want to play with fools anymore.

Prince Yu saw the emotions of the three people and became more and more proud. He stroked his long beard with his good hand and laughed:

"The King of the East probably has great confidence in the Emperor, so even though he heard that Old Feng Tang was seriously injured, he did not feel any sense of crisis about the defense of Daming Palace.

“But now, not only has the king come, but even an idiot like Zhongshun can enter the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace and disturb the ceremony before it is over.

"It can be seen that the Daming Palace today is just a sieve!"

At this point, Prince Yu raised his voice, then, with a sinister smile, stared at Prince Dong, and lowered his voice again:

“So, King Dong, you are anxious and want to quickly negotiate a price with me and Zhongshun;

"So that we can check out those important places, important people, and important objects!

"Is it right?!"

For the first time, King Dong's expression changed.

This slight change was caught by Prince Yu's sharp eyes.

"If Prince Yu only wanted to ridicule Prince Dongping, there is no need to waste everyone's time in this palace."

Prince Zhongshun snorted.

Prince Yu looked at Prince Zhongshun with a fake smile and said, "Zhongshun, you gritted your teeth and shouted out the phrase 'clear the emperor's side'. Are you still thinking of being a running dog of the present and being satisfied with just fighting for a position of a powerful minister in the future?"

Prince Zhongshun was ashamed and said, "I am only considering the court and my Situ family. I can't bear to see your majesty's military power fall into the hands of others and raise a tiger to cause trouble!

"Uncle Wang, you have already treated the current emperor as nothing in your words! Do you think you look good when you act like a traitor?!"

Prince Yu stroked his beard and said, "You also want to be like me, but unfortunately, you let others detain your son.

"Secondly, the military power that was originally in your grasp fell into the hands of Prince Dongping in an instant, so you came here to fight this verbal lawsuit, right?"

Just this sentence "someone detained my son" was enough to slap King Zhongshun in the face.

Prince Zhongshun's face darkened: "Uncle Yu, what do you mean by this?"

"When my people saw Feng Tang, your son was following him. He was accompanied by a team of eight guards who never left his side."

Prince Yu smiled meaningfully.

Prince Zhongshun fell silent.

Prince Dun was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhongshun, your uncle is wronging you, don't believe him!

"Your Majesty couldn't bear to see our nephew suffer as a guard, so he specifically appointed Feng Tang to take care of him.

"Feng Tang is a man of knowledge and interest, and seeing that our nephew is an outstanding martial artist, loyal and capable, he immediately appointed him as the captain.

"Eight people in this team is a rule! He is the captain, so the other eight people must follow him in and out!"

Prince Zhongshun's expression eased slightly.

Prince Dun saw the opportunity and hurriedly continued, "My brother, you should know that the Supreme Lord and His Majesty have always valued you..."

"What? You think you can win over Zhongshun to your side with just these sweet words?"

Prince Yu looked at Prince Dun with a half-smile, "Then he learned the whereabouts of the Grand Master and the Crown Prince from his daughter-in-law, and ordered people to assassinate them along the way..."

There was sudden silence in the hall.

Immediately followed by countless gasps!

"Your Majesty, don't lie! Such a big thing..." Some old ministers began to tremble, and with tears in their voices, they grabbed Prince Dun's sleeves and asked repeatedly, "Is it true?! Is it true?!"

Prince Dun hesitated in a panic.

Prince Zhongshun opened his eyes wide, and was speechless. It took him a long time to utter a sentence: "Uncle Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

But Prince Dong narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Yu intently: "How did Prince Yu know this?

"If Prince Zhongshun did something so big, it must have been kept extremely secret. How did Prince Yu know it so clearly?"

Prince Yu smiled smugly, “Don’t worry about that.

"I just want to ask you, Prince Zhongshun is plotting treason! How are you going to deal with him?"

Prince Zhongshun finally calmed down at this moment, sneered loudly, slammed his sleeves fiercely, and said loudly: "I have also learned about the assassination of the Grand Master and the Crown Prince!

“But I also heard that the assassins disguised themselves as soldiers under their night clothes to confuse the public!

"I have been idle for several years, watching plays, listening to music, and enjoying the romance. Where did such a brave warrior come from?!

“It’s Uncle Yu who has held great power over the years. Whether in Hainan or Jiangnan, he has been quietly stirring up trouble in the local areas and framing the imperial court!

“I heard that Uncle Yu has pirates pretending to be Japanese pirates under his command?!

"It would be very cheap to keep a few of these warriors!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into an uproar!

Dead soldier? !

Japanese pirates?!

Pirates!!!

As we all know, half of the taxes collected in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces in recent years have been used to clean up Japanese pirates!

The money in the national treasury was stretched to the limit, and Emperor Zhaoming had to rack his brains even to build a dam!

After all this fuss, this pirate is actually someone pretending to be him? !

The King of the East said in a dignified manner: "I have heard that the bandits in the East Sea have been rampant in the past two years. Not only are their ships fast and their weapons sharp, but they also have some idea of ​​our military secrets!

"I've always felt there was a traitor... Who could be Prince Yu?"

Seeing the fierce look on the face of the East King, the Yu King smiled calmly and said, "Zhongshun is just biting back and talking nonsense.

"How could the King of Dongping not know about the affairs of the East China Sea?

"The so-called Japanese pirates are not clear, but you are just raising pirates to protect yourself. What does it have to do with others?"

It turned out that the blame was put back on King Dong again!

The King of the East slightly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he turned back impatiently and looked accurately at Zhai Daogong in the crowd: "Where did you say you were arrested?"

The middle-aged man who was acting like a quail was singled out and was startled. He stammered:

"Dragon, Dragon Head Dao..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice slowly rang out from the back hall: "Don't worry, King Dong! Don't worry! It's only the middle of the day, I shouldn't be too late!"

Cao Feng and Prince Dun both breathed a sigh of relief.

The East King frowned, "You can't even keep an eye on a prisoner, and you still have the nerve to come to Hanyuan Palace to join in the fun?!"

An old monk slowly approached. It was the great monk from Dali Temple: Zhitong!
