Chapter 279: The Father-in-Law Played Mystery and Tried My Uncle
How can anyone disobey the prince's order? In an instant, five or six wolves and tigers came up, and without any explanation, they tied up Pan You'an, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Dynasty, and tied them up.
They were pushed and shoved, and they were escorted directly outside the Wuchao Gate. According to the prince's instructions, they would wait until the right time to be executed.
The eunuch in charge of the deacon's harem, Eunuch Yu, immediately reported this information to the princess who lived in the deep palace. When the princess heard that the prince wanted to kill her son-in-law, she suddenly felt like thousands of arrows piercing her heart, as if there was a ring in the clear sky.
Although Mr. Lei is not his biological son and has never met him once, the problem is that he is his daughter’s son-in-law! Kiss or not, breaking bones and connecting tendons, mother-in-law loves her son-in-law, it has always been like this, there is no reason or reason.
Because the matter was so urgent, the old princess didn't even bother to change her clothes and get ready for the phoenix chariot and other items. She didn't bring any of her attendants with her. She picked up her little feet and trotted away by herself. She hurried straight to the Wuchao Gate like a gust of wind.
The princess saw the little eunuch tied to the pillar all the way away. She was struck by the scene and moved from one point to another. She thought of her daughter who had been away for several months looking for her husband. She couldn't help but burst into tears. She stepped closer to the execution pillar and caressed her beloved son-in-law with both hands.
His cheeks and head burst into tears and he said:
"My dear, my dear! You came all the way here and my mother didn't even bring you a sip of water or a bowl of rice, so you were tied to this torture pillar. Is that right?
Mom didn't take good care of you, and you suffered a lot!"
The little eunuch lost his parents when he was young, and he didn't have a deep understanding of mother-son, father-son affection, etc. Now that he saw the princess' love for him, which was completely sincere, he couldn't help but be moved, and secretly sighed in his heart: The father-in-law is the father, and the mother-in-law is also the mother.
Ah! This is what I was thinking in my heart. I didn’t say anything in my mouth, but still had that glib look. I grinned and said:
"Mother, my son-in-law is tied to this pillar. Even if I want to kowtow to you when we meet for the first time, it will be useless. When my head is cut off and dropped to the ground, it will be like kowtowing to you.
"
"Silly boy, what kind of etiquette is there after the head has fallen to the ground?" The princess said with a smile, "Donkey boy (son-in-law), don't worry, as long as my mother is here, who of them dares to hurt you even if you are tired of living?"
no?"
At this time, Eunuch Yu, together with two masters from the Imperial Household, had no time to take the phoenix chariot, so he temporarily prepared a small sedan with a few people carrying it empty. The palace maid Li Huiqin led the way, and the small team went straight to the Wuchao Gate in a mighty manner.
Two masters in the imperial court, one named Hong is Honghewan, the other is Lan named Lanshuiqing. They are both loyal, brave and chivalrous people. They have been favored and trusted by the princess many times. What they usually do to Zhang Pingtang is nothing.
He is disdainful, so he is determined to retaliate with death at every critical moment. No matter he is the king of heaven, I will fight him to the death.
The prison officials, the executioners, the soldiers maintaining order, etc., all of them did not realize that the princess was arriving. In an instant, they all knelt down and shouted:
"Respectfully obey your Majesty's decree, and the young ones will never dare to do anything without your Majesty's words. I wish your Majesty a thousand years of life!"
Nanqiao Fengye, Zhang Baobao, and Wang Hengheng were holding swords and holding knives. But when they heard that at three quarters of noon, the supervising officer announced that he was going to be beheaded, they rushed into the field to save lives.
If you don't live, the worst case scenario is that everyone will die together. Now that I see the princess entering the scene and getting married to Pan Youan, I know that the situation has changed. Pan Shuai is not in too much danger now, so he feels a little at ease.
The princess told Hong Hewan and Lan Shuiqing: "You two will guard the Prince Consort. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to the Prince Consort, gossip, or do anything else, you must kill him first."
Besides, the Ai family will bear all the consequences!"
The second general said: "Don't worry, Madam, we will defend the absolute dignity and safety of the Prince Consort to the death in accordance with your will. No matter who is using the knife or the axe, even a sidelong glance at the Prince Consort will make his head fall to the ground and his body will be divided into two parts!"
"
The princess said happily: "That's right!"
After that, the princess scolded the prison officer who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up and listen to Ai Jia's words. Quickly ask your people to loosen the prince's rope and move a chair for him to sit there.
You are resting and waiting for news and he won’t run away. What are you afraid of? Even if he ran away, would the Ai family still be there to protect you? What are you afraid of? Could it be that the Ai family will run away too?"
The supervisor and behead officer said repeatedly: "I don't dare to lower my rank. I just obey the empress' order!"
The arrangements here were complete and everything went smoothly, so the princess said:
"Eunuch Yu, let's go and accompany the Ai family to the court to find the prince who has a bad conscience."
The King of Dayue looked at the time and ordered the deacons and eunuchs to convey the order to supervise the beheading of officials and torture. The deacons and eunuchs were about to receive the order when they suddenly saw the princess rushing in with a fierce momentum. She looked like a tigress coming in and did not even kneel down.
Long live the thousand years, and shouted directly to the old prince who was sitting upright in the court hall:
"You old gangster, are you really old and confused, or are you confused by taking the wrong medicine?"
The old prince didn't know why, and he asked Yan: "Why are you here if your Majesty is not taking a good rest in the harem? We have rules when coming to the harem. The harem is not allowed to interfere in the political affairs of the court. Violators will be punished without mercy. You are a first offender. In addition,
She is also the biological mother of the princess and the prince, so I will spare you the guilt and get out of here quickly!"
The princess said sternly: "I have nothing to do with the political affairs of the court. Should I turn a blind eye when my son-in-law is killed? My lord, do you think this is a business matter or a family matter?"
"Son-in-law, what son-in-law? When did the prince-in-law come? How come I don't know about this?" Lao Wang looked around and spoke.
"Old man, what are you pretending to be? The person tied up at Wu Chao Gate is clearly our consort. If I hadn't come faster, I might have already fallen to the ground!"
The old prince did not want to kill his uncle at first, but the old Prime Minister Zhang was too powerful. Most of the civil and military officials in the court were his confidants. The prince was afraid that if he did not kill the consort, if official anger aroused, his throne would not be stable. Therefore, a
The prince-in-law should be killed. After passing this hurdle, Princess Shimei will say that she was accidentally killed when asked about it in the future. What else can she do? At worst, let her find a better Han Chinese youth in the Celestial Dynasty.
Come on, the old prince said:
"Empress, please go back to the harem and rest! Don't worry about this matter. I know this well."
"Old Ruan Tou, let me ask you, some people were happy when you killed the prince-in-law, but have you ever thought about it. If Princess Thi Mei comes back and she wants a husband from you, what will you do? Don't you know the princess's temper? You
Don't get carried away, old man!" The court is a court, and couples sometimes quarrel regardless of the occasion and location. They can choose any word or not, and they don't care whether they are princes or not!
"This..." The old prince was scolded by his wife and his face was bruised and bruised. It was not a seizure, nor was it not a seizure.
The princess added fuel to the fire and said: "Which of the civil and military officials in the court is the princess's rival? If she pulls you off the throne with a rope in a rage, where will you put your old face? Besides, if you insist on killing the prince-in-law,
, I can’t stand it anymore, so I will take my prince to find the princess, and the three of us will go back to our hometown to fish, leaving you alone to be the king and authority here, and you will become a real loner."
"The princess is telling the truth. Who in the Dai Viet Kingdom doesn't know that Princess Thi Mae is a wild colt?" The old prince lowered his head and thought to himself, "Usually there are three ministers who are good at martial arts to resist, even though they have never formally competed in martial arts.
, but at least there is mutual restraint. The three brothers of the Zhang family are dead. This girl is the only one in the country of Dayue. Who can afford to offend her? If she comes back one day and turns against her, the consequences will be really disastrous! As for the princess, she said she went back to her hometown to fish.
You may not necessarily be telling the truth. Where can she and her two children go fishing?" The old prince hesitated again and again. He couldn't make up his mind for a long time, but suddenly an idea came to him and he said:
"Princess, you believe that boy is the consort, and he has no evidence. How can I believe him?"
"Just ask him...," the princess said as she thought
"What to ask him?" Lao Wang urged.
"Just ask him if he knows what's growing on the soles of your feet? Apart from you and me, even Princess Shimei knows this, but even Wang Er may not be able to tell!"
Your Majesty, this is a glorious thing, and it is also a great secret that cannot be shown to others. If you take this opportunity to publicize it, it will definitely spread the majesty of the royal family. Some villains with ulterior motives should also restrain themselves. God's will cannot be violated.
Ah! It turns out that the prince has a dragon-shaped blue pattern on the sole of his left foot, and a tiger-shaped black pattern on the sole of his right foot. But to be honest, these tattoos were secretly tattooed on him when he was young, and they are not something he was born with today.
Taking the opportunity to interrogate the consort, making this matter public, wouldn't it be a good thing to mix the fake with the real and kill two birds with one stone? Who dares to come and investigate in detail? After thinking about it, the prince said:
"Xian Fei, please come and see your seat. I will wait until I personally examine the northern boy before making a decision."
At this time, the little eunuch had already been untied by the eunuch and others in compliance with the order of the princess. As expected, a chair was moved for him to sit against a pillar. Someone also brought a tray with tea, pastries, wine, food and other items to entertain him.
There was nothing to put a tray in the execution ground, so the soldiers knelt there and held the tray high above the head, so that the prince-in-law could easily enjoy the lunch. The sun was too strong, so someone specially set up a parasol for the prince-in-law. The most outstanding and attentive person among them was
After several eunuchs were beheaded, he sat down on the ground, holding the little eunuch's legs with both hands, and carefully rubbing his feet, now and then! What if the empress was allowed to remonstrate and the whole family recognized their marriage?
The condemned criminals in front of us have become relatives of the royal family. Let alone high-ranking people, as long as they are innocent, don't let the prince-in-law tie them to this pillar in a rage.
After all, it’s not that the little eunuch has never enjoyed such luxury in his life. How can an important criminal in the court who is about to be sentenced get this honor? This is the only time in ancient and modern times for traveling abroad! The same goes for the little eunuch, who was tortured all night long.
Tired, thirsty, and hungry, he himself was not taking things seriously. He was the kind of person who "eats as long as he has a mouth on his face, and then gnaws at the mud after his head falls to the ground."
The eunuch had just eaten a few mouthfuls, but before he could finish his meal, he heard Huangmenguan urgently announce that Pan Youan, who had come from the Northern Dynasty, came into the palace to ask questions.
