Fortunate Young Gentleman

Hearing that an assassin had sneaked into Jinxiu Palace, Lu Teng hurried over and asked, "Is the princess okay?"

Tang Ning looked at the assassin who had been knocked unconscious and said, "Nothing."

The young general came over and asked, "Sir Tang, Commander Lu, how should we deal with these assassins?"

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "This is Chu after all, let's hand them over to the Chu government."

"Send them to the government!" The young general turned around, waved his hand, and murmured, "They are so brave. Not only did they intend to assassinate the princess, but they even dared to pretend to be the prince..."

All five assassins were tied up and sent to the government. Lu Teng turned around and looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Sir Tang, what's going on?"

Tang Ning shook his head. He was just fishing and talking with Zhao Man here. These people suddenly appeared and claimed to be the prince. After being beaten, they were indeed much more honest.

The next thing will be handled by the Chu government.

Jingzhao Yamen

There is nothing trivial about the affairs of envoys. After hearing the news that Princess Pingyang was assassinated in Jinxiu Palace, Jingzhao Yin immediately put down the affairs in his hands and hurried to the front yamen.

This is the first day that the Chen State delegation arrived in Kyoto. Even a day has not passed, and such a thing has happened. If it is not handled properly, how will Chen State, as a friendly country, look at them?

If the relationship between the two countries is affected by this, the matter will be serious.

He walked into the hall quickly and asked, "What's going on?"

A yamen runner said, "Sir, these people broke into Jinxiu Palace, where Princess Pingyang of Chen State lived, and pretended to be the prince. After being arrested, they were sent here."

"Impersonating the prince and assassinating the princess?"

Either of these two charges is a capital crime. Jingzhao Yin asked, "Where is the assassin?"

The yamen runner said, "He has been locked up in the prison."

"Take me to see."

Jingzhao Mansion, inside the prison.

The Crown Prince of Chu had already woken up, trembling with anger, and said in a cold tone: "I will kill them, I want them to die!"

As the Crown Prince, he was also the only prince of Chu. He had never been treated like this since he was a child.

If this revenge is not avenged, he will feel uneasy.

A person beside him immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, you must not be impulsive. We have made a big mistake by sneaking into Jinxiu Palace privately. If the court knows, they will definitely not give up. Now, we can only conceal this matter and discuss it again..."

The Crown Prince of Chu gritted his teeth and said: "Let me forget it, I can't swallow this breath!"

"Your Highness, think twice. If this matter is spread out, your Highness will lose face." Someone immediately explained: "Besides, it's not just about letting it go. This is Chu. After we go back, we will find a way to help your Highness get revenge!"

Before the Crown Prince of Chu answered, footsteps came from the front.

"Assassinating the princess, pretending to be the prince, who ordered you to do this?" Jingzhao Yin's voice came before the people arrived.

"Open your dog eyes and look!" The prince of Chu came over suddenly and asked, "Look, am I pretending to be me?"

The person behind him also came out immediately and said, "Why don't you let your highness out!"

Jingzhao Yin looked at the bruised and swollen prince of Chu, his eyelids jumped, and he immediately said, "Open the prison door!"

The prison door opened, a man came out, looked at Jingzhao Yin, and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

Before the wedding, the prince sneaked into the residence of the princess of another country, which was a challenge to etiquette. Once it was spread out, he would immediately become the target of attack by the ministers in the court.

If the infiltration was successful, it would be fine. If the infiltration failed, he would be caught as an assassin, beaten up and sent to the government. If this matter was spread out, it would definitely become the biggest joke in Kyoto this year.

Although the prince was already a joke in Kyoto, with this joke added, I am afraid that more people will think that such a prince cannot become a qualified emperor...

Jingzhao Yin bowed and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I will keep this matter a secret."

After several people left, he turned around and looked at a constable behind him and said, "Do you know what to do?"

"Don't worry, sir." The constable nodded and said, "I know."

...

Within half a day, the news that the prince and four guards broke into Jinxiu Palace and were arrested by the guards of Princess Pingyang of Chen State as assassins, beaten up, and sent to Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen was known to everyone.

Princess Pingyang was the crown princess that the prince had not yet married. Before that, the two could not meet. This was the etiquette.

The prince ignored the etiquette and had become the target of impeachment and memorial by the imperial censors of the whole court. As a prince, he was beaten as an assassin, which made the prince once again a laughing stock in Kyoto.

In Prince Xin's mansion, an imperial censor looked at Prince Xin and said, "I think the envoys of the State of Chen have also heard the news. This time, the prince has completely lost face for our Chu State."

He paused and said, "Now, many people in the court think that the Chen envoys should hand over the people who beat the prince and punish them severely to save face."

Prince Xin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you still think it's not embarrassing enough, let's just leave it at that and don't discuss it anymore."

The young imperial censor thought for a while and asked, "The prince violated the etiquette..."

Prince Xin stood up and said, "Forget it."

The imperial censor looked up and finally just sighed and bowed his hands and said, "I'll take my leave."

After a while, at the Censorate, the Censor looked at the young censor and asked: "What does the prince say?"

The young censor bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness Xin Wang means that in this matter, don't make things difficult for the prince."

The Censor shook his head and said: "In fact, our biggest obstacle is not the prince, but the prince. If the prince is unwilling, even if all the people in the court are added together, it is impossible to force him."

The young censor raised his head and asked: "Then this matter..."

The Censor sighed and said helplessly: "Listen to the prince."

...

In Jinxiu Palace.

After dinner, Tang Ning listened to Lu Teng's words and was surprised: "Is it really the prince of Chu?"

"It has spread outside." Lu Teng nodded and said: "It should be the prince of Chu."

The young general standing behind Lu Teng supported the table, his legs were weak, and his face was pale.

"Relax. "Tang Ning patted his shoulder and said, "The more this matter is known to everyone, the less you will have to do with it. The Chu court also has to save face and will not punish you." The young general who had just beaten up the Chu prince was shaking and looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Sir Tang, is it true?" "Just be happy by yourself." Tang Ning looked at him and said, "You will never have a second chance in your life to beat up the prince." The young general took the reassurance pill and left. Tang Ning looked at Lu Teng again and asked, "What did the Chu court say? "

Lu Teng thought for a moment and said, "Some people advocate that we hand over the people who beat the prince and punish them severely, but some people think that the prince violated the etiquette first. Although we should not beat the prince, it is understandable to protect the princess..."

Tang Ning shook his head and murmured, "It seems that this prince is not very popular in the court..."

Eastern Palace.

The prince of Chu smashed a few cups and said angrily, "What, this matter is just over?"

This matter was still leaked, which means that he not only got beaten, but also lost face. Now the court does not intend to investigate the matter. How can he swallow this breath?

"Princess Pingyang didn't see it, and someone found it..." He turned his anger to the guards behind him and shouted, "Is it a bunch of waste that I raise you?"

The guard immediately said, "Your Highness, in fact, we have seen Princess Pingyang."

The prince of Chu raised his eyebrows: "What? "

The guard said: "The woman we saw by the lake is Princess Pingyang."

The Crown Prince of Chu was stunned, thinking of the woman who amazed him by the lake, and asked: "Is she Princess Pingyang?"

The guard nodded and immediately said: "Yes."

The Crown Prince of Chu thought for a while and asked again: "Who is the person next to her?"

The guard shook his head and said: "I don't know."

The Crown Prince of Chu said with a gloomy face: "I want all his information within an hour."
