Chapter 823: The Third Prince Was Arrested
Yongqing Mansion.
The third prince looked at the rolling mountains and felt proud.
Since the failure to ambush Lin Ruan, he has been hiding everywhere and not even showing his face. Xiao Jingchen is like a mad dog, sending all the people who can be mobilized to chase him everywhere. In addition, the emperor's manpower forces him to have no place to hide.
The people around him kept advising him to go to Yansha Kingdom as soon as possible, but he didn't want to go now.
After going to Yansha Kingdom, he was passive. He stayed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, waited for the opportunity, and took the throne with his own abilities, so that he would not be suppressed by Yansha Kingdom in the future.
Now the opportunity has finally come.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity was given by Lin Ruan.
His mother is right, Lin Ruan is a lucky star. As long as it is used properly, it can bring unexpected surprises to herself.
After he takes this Great Zhou into his hands, he will definitely get rid of Xiao Jingchen, and then let Lin Ruan surrender to him for the rest of his life and use it for his own use!
With Lin Ruan here, the people of Dazhou will definitely support him.
The third prince couldn't help but look excited when he thought of the scene where all civil and military officials surrendered to him and shouted long live to him.
In order to take the throne earlier, the third prince has been working hard these days, asking about the progress of the matter several times a day.
"Your Highness, our people have almost made the situation. Several state prefectures that have suffered from drought have received news that Princess Changning was suppressed by the court. Many people have already quarreled to seek justice for Princess Changning."
The third prince was so happy that his face was a little distorted, "Okay, if you pass the order, tomorrow I will have someone take the lead and pull the flag to Princess Changning to seek justice!"
"yes!"
The third prince became happier the more he thought about it, so he decided to ask someone to prepare some good wine and dishes and celebrate it first in the evening.
At night, the third prince hugged his newly received concubines and watched the graceful dance of the dancers, and was so happy that he cheered.
Although he dares not show up in public now, he has quite a few things he should enjoy.
He has money in his hand. After so many years as a prince, he, Concubine Liu and Concubine Liu's parents' family have been constantly making money with various means. The wealth in his hand is as much as half a big Zhou.
So he never felt wronged himself. After Yongqing Mansion settled down, he asked someone to prepare a woman for him.
Although the staff were a little dissatisfied, they thought that the third prince was not young and had a weak knee, so they should consider their offspring, so they helped to arrange the program and picked out some outstanding girls from their relatives and sent them into the mountains.
As for those dancers, they were girls in the brothel run by the third prince himself.
Speaking of which, it is also aware of the roots, so the third prince feels very at ease.
The third prince looked at the staff sitting below and was in a high mood. He picked up his wine glass and said to everyone: "Tomorrow, our plan will be officially implemented. If it goes well, at most, we will allow those people to attack Kyoto in more than a month. At that time, I will personally lead the troops out to preside over justice for Princess Changning. Thank you for your hard work these days. When I ascend to the throne, I will definitely reward you and let you and I command the Great Zhou Dynasty together!"
The staff were also very excited when they heard this.
Although the third prince does not have much talent and ability, isn’t that better? Then the third prince cannot do without them in governing the country, so that they can live a more prosperous life.
They have been planning with the third prince for so many years and taking such a great risk. Isn’t it just for the merit of following the dragon that will be reused in the future and will be in power in the court and the people?
Thinking that they were one step closer to their dream, everyone was a little fluttering. Even the two most calm and self-sustaining staff on weekdays could not help but be infected by this emotion. They put aside their usual caution and drank happily.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the third prince was a little drunk and wanted to show some restrictive scenes in public with his concubine, but fortunately, he still had a little bit of rationality, so he asked the concubine to help him back to his room and have fun.
The other staff members also chose a dancer who was in line with each other and returned to their own yard.
Just as the yard was full of undescribable scenes, more than a dozen Jinyiwei emerged from a very secret corner of the house and rushed towards the main yard.
When the third prince and his concubines were in high spirits, a sword with a cold light suddenly stood on his neck.
Suddenly, I sobered up, my interest was also depressed, and I was completely confused.
The third prince was tied up naked. The Jinyiwei who was guarding him did not take care of his face. He got him a piece of clothing to block it, and just let him tie it naked, which was not as good as his concubines, and at least he was rewarded with a piece of concealed body.
Soon, the third prince's aides were tied up and all the guards outside the courtyard were dealt with.
The new commander of the Jinyiwei, named Bai, was the prince's confidant. The arrest operation was provided by Xiao Jingchen, so it went very smoothly. Everyone was taken down without any effort.
Commander Bai looked at the group of naked men and felt very disdainful, especially towards the third prince.
He was obviously a fool, but he wanted to be the Lord of the Nine Five. With his appearance, he really wanted to take the throne, and the great Zhou's aura would probably end.
Commander Bai withdrew his gaze and ordered his subordinates: "Take them all down, and set off for the capital at dawn, and hand them over to the emperor to decide."
"yes!"
Commander Bai turned around and said to one of the Jinyiwei: "He Junxian, come with me."
The Jinyiwei who was named after him immediately stepped forward, "Sir, what are the instructions?"
Commander Bai glanced at him, "You were arranged by Prince Xiao, and you are a relative of Prince Xiao. You should have had a lot of friendship in northern Xinjiang before, so I will send you to Qingzhou City to assist Prince Xiao and Princess Changning to resolve the rumors."
It turned out that He Junxian was the one He Wantu who was in the military camp in the northern border.
He Junxian's eyes lit up after hearing the order, and he clasped his fists and said, "I will do my best to assist Prince Xiao and Princess Changning."
Commander Bai nodded and turned to arrange other matters.
Qingzhou City.
Lin Ruan was carried by Xiao Jingchen and got out of the carriage and sent into a house she had never been to before.
Xiao Jingchen said: "This place was purchased a few days ago. You can live here temporarily."
Lin Ruan nodded and asked, "Have you found out the third prince's army?"
Xiao Jingchen carried her into the house and placed her on a clean and soft couch: "I found out that someone has already solved it. You don't have to worry about these things. I will solve the rumors in Qingzhou City tomorrow, so we will set off. Think about this first stop first, where is the best place to go?"
Lin Ruan thought for a while, "Let's go to Lingnan. It's just the way to go, so you can comfort the people."
