"what?"

The Sixth Prince raised his head in puzzlement, and stared blankly at Xiao Jining.

In fact, not only the Sixth Prince, but the entire reunion party looked at Xiao Jining in disbelief after hearing what Xiao Jining said. It was completely impossible to imagine that such words came from Xiao Jining, who was always good-tempered.

From their point of view, it is extremely rare for Xiao Jining to swear, let alone murder.

As for the sixth prince, he is actually very timid.

The phrase "severe and soft inside" refers to a person like him.

In addition, he is still very foolish, for example, following the fourth prince and the fifth prince, he still did not change his name after Xiao Jining ascended the throne, calling him "Nine Emperor Brothers". Anyone is fast.

So the sixth prince is stupid sometimes, but he is not hopelessly stupid. From a certain point of view, he knows how to live well in the royal family.He is arrogant and domineering, but can be controlled just right, so the fourth prince and the fifth prince are cruel to other brothers, but they are more lazy to deal with him.And that day in the Songzhu Pavilion, unless Xu Jiuqing really hurt the sixth prince, he would not kill Xu Jiuqing.He understood that if Xu Jiuqing didn't hurt him, but he killed Xu Jiuqing in front of so many people, then his position as prince would basically come to an end.

As for Xu Jiuqing's disrespect to him, his "small punishment and big commandment" is enough, and there is no need to kill people—as long as Ji Xingming didn't save people at that time.

Once Ji Xingming made a move, he had to give Ji Xingming this face.In fact, he would quarrel with Xu Jiuqing that day and it was already out of control. The Sixth Prince would not do that normally, but that day, for some reason, he couldn't control his anger after being provoked by the attendant, and even rushed out of the private room Go and confront Xu Jiuqing.

After he returned to his prince's mansion, the sixth prince was also shocked by his behavior in Songzhu Pavilion just now. After the rumors about him in Songzhu Pavilion in Beijing became more and more fierce, he was actually more anxious than anyone else, so As soon as Xiao Jining asked a question, he knelt down without thinking, but tried to make a final struggle with his mouth stiff.

But what the Sixth Prince didn't expect was that Xiao Jining seemed to be on his side?

Otherwise, why did Xiao Jining ask him to kill Xu Jiuqing?

But Xu Jiuqing...he can't kill him.

So the sixth prince hesitated, not knowing how to respond to Xiao Jining's words: "I, I..."

"Brother Six, it was you who said that, isn't she the one who provoked the royal family?" The young emperor on the dragon chair was still smiling, with a soft voice, "Da Xiao has laws, and those who disrespect the royal family can be killed. "

Yes, Da Xiao has such a law.

But there are so many people in Songzhu Pavilion who are not blind. Everyone can see the situation on the day of the incident very clearly. At best, Xu Jiuqing threatened him with a gun. .If the dispute between him and Xu Jiuqing ended in Xu Jiuqing's death, he would not be able to relieve his anger, nor would he gain any benefits, and instead he would be stained with blood.

What's more, Ji Xingming rescued Xu Jiuqing on the front foot, and killed him on the back foot. Isn't that clearly against Xu Jiuqing?It would be fine if Ji Xingming was the only one thinking about saving people, but if it has something to do with the Fifth Prince...

Thinking of this, the sixth prince couldn't help shivering.

He raised his eyes and carefully looked at Xiao Jining, only to feel that the youngest imperial brother, himself, had gradually changed since he took the throne, becoming incomprehensible.In the past, Jingyuan often stood behind him to give people an invisible oppression, but today, Jingyuan is not there at the royal family's reunion banquet, but even if Jingyuan is not there, there is only Xiao Jining - he is still smiling, the sixth prince I also felt a little afraid to look directly at him.

"Your majesty...forget it." The Sixth Prince swallowed his saliva, smiled flatteringly and said to Xiao Jining, "Just treat me as an adult and not a villain..."

But the sixth prince didn't finish his sentence.

Xiao Jining interrupted him and said: "No, the majesty of the royal family, how can she be despised by a prostitute?"

Xiao Jining's tone was not to be questioned. After he finished speaking, the smile on his lips disappeared, and his posture was still the original lazy and leisurely posture. He looked at the sixth prince and said, "I will give you two choices now, either you go Kill her, or - I will turn you into a commoner, and you will no longer be a member of the royal family."

"In this way, you are no longer a member of the royal family. I won't ask any questions about how you two fight. What do you think?" Xiao Jining smiled again, and said harmlessly with crooked eyes, "Six Emperors Brother?"

The Sixth Prince is now afraid that Xiao Jining will call him "Brother Six Emperors", but now that Xiao Jining is calling him by his first name, maybe he is not so flustered.The Sixth Prince walked a few steps anxiously, moved closer to Xiao Jining and kowtowed to him, fell on the ground and stopped getting up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Jining asked him: "Brother Liu Huang, you are right, what are you kneeling on my knees for?"

The Sixth Prince understood that Xiao Jining was holding on to Xu Jiuqing, so he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, she, she can't kill..."

"Oh?" Xiao Jining raised his brows with doubts on his face, "Why can't you kill him?"

"She...she is the Xu family, the youngest daughter of Xu Junhui." At this point, the sixth prince dared not hide it anymore, "Although the Xu family is gone, Da Xiao still has many soldiers who cherished their loyalty to General Xu. If we kill her, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there will be chaos..."

Xiao Jining smiled, and continued: "Then since you know, why are you still aggressive?"

"How did the second emperor brother die? How did the Xu family destroy the family? The people in the world don't know, don't we know?!" Having said this, Xiao Jining suddenly raised his voice and angrily said, "Since you know her identity , then do you want everyone in the royal family to accompany you to embarrass yourself?!"

The wrath of the emperor is no child's play.

Xiao Jining's voice has always been clean and clear with some youthful flavor, but at this moment, every word and every word of his voice resounded in the hall.No one spoke in the entire banquet hall, and it was almost audible.

"At the time when the second brother passed away, the Xu family was supposed to be punished by the nine clans, but this matter involved too much, and Xu Jiuqing and Xu Wanyun, the fourth brother and the fifth brother all thought that they were young and did not know the inside story. Then let them go." Xiao Jining put down the hand that was holding his chin, gradually sat up straight, frowned and said, "Are you dissatisfied with Brother Four and Brother Five? Or are you dissatisfied with me?"

The Sixth Prince's body trembled slightly, and his whole body was almost stuck to the ground: "Your Majesty, I don't...I don't!"

Seeing how his fat body could kneel down like this, Xiao Jining made it difficult for him.So he got up from the imperial chair and walked towards the sixth prince.

"Brother Sixth Emperor." Xiao Jining called the Sixth Prince, and even supported his arm to get him up from the ground.

The sixth prince raised his head in panic, Xiao Jining helped him, he didn't dare to disobey and could only get up, but what Xiao Jining said next made his knees go limp and he almost knelt down again.

Xiao Jining said to him: "Brother Liu Huang, I respect you as 'Brother Huang', but when your father was alive, you were strictly forbidden to enter and leave the brothel. I remember that you were obedient when your father was alive, at least you were not so blatant. Why did you come to my throne— —Do you dare to act recklessly like this?"

"Even Mr. Chen secretly handed over the brochure, saying that there are too many rumors in Beijing, please take care of you."

"Why are you?"

Xiao Jining shook his head slowly, frowned and said sadly: "You let me down, and father down."

The sixth prince's nose was sniffling. If he hadn't been worried that there were so many brothers and sisters watching, he might really be able to cry.

However, Xiao Jining patted him on the shoulder, his voice was still gentle: "This matter caused a lot of trouble in Beijing, I have to punish you, do you understand?"

"Understood, I understand." The sixth prince nodded repeatedly.

"I won't really demote you as a commoner, it's just that you can't stay in Beijing anymore, at least not now."

The sixth prince suddenly raised his head when he heard the words - is Xiao Jining going to drive him out of the capital and into the fiefdom?It would be fine if he went to enfeoff the land like the Seventh Prince did, but he was afraid that Xiao Jining would not let him go to enfeoff the land.

As expected, what Xiao Jining asked him to go to was not a fiefdom.

Xiao Jining passed by the Sixth Prince, walked to the main entrance of the main hall, looked at the silver moon hanging high outside and said, "I haven't seen Brother Three Emperors for a long time, and now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I don't know Brother Three Emperors is in the imperial mausoleum." Is it lonely alone, do you think about our brothers."

"Brother Liuhuang, go and accompany our brother Sanhuang, don't let him spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone. The imperial mausoleum is also quiet, so it's good for you to cultivate yourself for a while."

The Sixth Prince's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down on the ground.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Jining turned around to look, smiled and beckoned to the palace people to help the Sixth Prince to get up quickly: "Oh, it's cold on the ground, how can you sit? Come on - help the Sixth Brother up quickly."

Xiao Jining asked the Sixth Prince to be helped back to the seat of the banquet, and he also quickly walked back to his table, poured a glass of wine to respect everyone: "Come on, brother Liuhuang will leave Beijing tomorrow, let's give a last respect to the Sixth Emperor Brother, have a cup."

None of the people present were stupid, they knew that Xiao Jining's "killing chickens to scare monkeys" was the one who saw it, so they all raised their glasses to Xiao Jining's face - and they had to smile and respect.

"Sixth Prince, you don't have to be too happy. You can come back during the Chinese New Year. Let's get together again at that time, by the way—" Xiao Jining turned to look at the Fifth Prince after comforting the Sixth Prince and said, "Brother Fifth Emperor , I heard that General Ji has returned to Beijing, right?"

The fifth prince remained calm, just smiled and said: "Yes."

Xiao Jining also smiled and said: "That's a coincidence. The last time the Seventh Brother returned to Beijing, he met an assassin. The road to the imperial tomb is long. I'm afraid that something will happen to the Sixth Brother, so I will trouble General Ji to send the Sixth Brother off for me. "

The fifth prince took a deep breath, and once again returned Xiao Jining's wine, and promised him: "Okay——"

So far, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, everyone left separately.

But on the way, the sixth prince stopped the fifth prince, his expression was a little dazed, he looked away blankly, and said to the fifth prince: "Brother Fifth Emperor, Lord Chen belongs to you."

"That's not true." The Fifth Prince denied, "It's no secret that Chen Yu has a good relationship with me. How come he became my man?"

The sixth prince didn't speak anymore, but he raised his head and looked at the fifth prince with red eyes.

"Hey, Brother Sixth, don't blame Brother Ninth, this time, you are the one who went too far." The Fifth Prince sighed, stepped forward to hug him, patted his back lightly, and whispered softly in his ear. Said, "Brother Jiuhuang is right, the road to the imperial mausoleum is long, but with the protection of the stars, you will not accidentally die on the way. Sixth brother, don't worry, I wish you a good journey."
