Chapter 191 Today, Xiao Jiyun and he must lie down

At the Second Prince's residence, Xiao Jiyun also got the news at this time.

"Waste, all of them are waste, a little Xiao Tingxuan can't even deal with it."

Xiao Jiyun was angry. He didn't expect that a third-rank lieutenant plus a hundred strong soldiers couldn't even take down Xiao Tingxuan's shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

That would be fine, but they were annihilated by them, leaving no one alive.

It's really waste, waste to the extreme.

The guards who had promised Xiao Jiyun before, now stood aside with their heads down, not daring to speak.

Don't say that Xiao Jiyun couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out either. How could something that was originally a sure thing turn out like this? Did they neglect it?

It was also at this time that the housekeeper hurried over and said to Xiao Jiyun: "Your Highness, there is an angel outside the door to pass on a message, saying that His Majesty summoned you, please follow them into the palace immediately."

When Xiao Jiyun heard this, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

As soon as he knew that the mission to kill Xiao Tingxuan had failed, the emperor sent someone to summon him to the palace.

Xiao Jiyun suspected that the emperor knew that he had sent someone to kill Xiao Tingxuan.

If it was just this matter, Xiao Jiyun could still handle it, but he was afraid that the emperor would know that he had reached out to the army, which would be difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiyun was a little panicked and began to regret. Why did he bother Xiao Tingxuan for no reason?

Even if he didn't send someone to kill Xiao Tingxuan, Xiao Tingxuan would not have an easy time in Sanhe.

Look at it now, the killing failed, but it caused a lot of trouble.

"I will go to the palace for a trip. During this period, keep the door of the mansion closed and don't see anyone. Understand?" Xiao Jiyun ordered. At this point, he could only take a gamble.

"Understood!"

The housekeeper nodded carefully. After hearing what Xiao Jiyun said, he also realized that the emperor's summoning of Xiao Jiyun this time might not be good, otherwise Xiao Jiyun would not have ordered so.

Xiao Jiyun was still very relieved about the housekeeper.

Seeing the housekeeper nodded in agreement, Xiao Jiyun followed the eunuch into the palace to meet the emperor.

Naturally, the news of Xiao Jiyun's meeting the emperor was soon known to others, including the prince and Xiao Tianyu.

The three of them were sworn enemies, and their every move was monitored by the other party. Any slight movement would be known at the first time.

"Send someone or make some connections with the people inside to ask Xiao Jiyun why the emperor summoned him to the palace."

The prince and Xiao Tianyu gave this order at the same time. They wanted to know why Xiao Jiyun was summoned to the palace by the emperor. Could it be?

They guessed a clue, but they were not sure.

In the palace.

"Your son greets the emperor and wishes him good health and longevity."

Xiao Jiyun knew how to behave. The moment he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down to greet him.

The emperor, however, still had a stern face in the face of Xiao Jiyun's good words, and said in a somewhat shady tone:

"Long live? Do you really hope that I live long, not that I will die suddenly tomorrow."

"I dare not!"

When Xiao Jiyun heard the emperor say this, he was immediately frightened and curled up on the ground with his head down.

Of course, he wanted the emperor to die suddenly tomorrow, so that the supreme position would be vacant immediately.

With his current ability and means, Xiao Jiyun has a great chance of sitting on this position.

But does he dare to say it?

He dare not, and from the emperor's tone, the emperor is very likely to know that he has reached out to the military power.

"Even my army dares to reach out, what else do you dare not.

I didn't expect that you have grown up and become bold, and you don't take me seriously.

Is it that if I remove your princely position today, you will dare to rebel tomorrow, ah~"

The emperor pointed at Xiao Jiyun and scolded him heartbreakingly. Originally, he thought that he thought Xiao Jiyun was very good and qualified to be the next heir.

But now, Xiao Jiyun has disappointed him too much.

"I dare not!"

Xiao Jiyun had no intention of refutation, but kept admitting his guilt. Only in this way could the emperor calm down and reduce his punishment.

At this time, pouring oil on the emperor's head would be simply courting death.

Now, the emperor has scolded him, and Xiao Jiyun has a good attitude in admitting his guilt, so there is only one stick left.

At this time, the emperor's anger has subsided a little.

He no longer scolded Xiao Jiyun, but sat on the dragon chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Jiyun, who was below, saw that the emperor stopped talking and did not ask him to get up, so Xiao Jiyun did not dare to get up. He knelt on the ground obediently, waiting for the emperor to deal with him.

After a long time, the emperor slowly spoke:

"My second son, Xiao Jiyun, disregarded the grace of heaven and did not think of the brotherly affection.

But considering that the tragedy has not yet occurred, I will punish him as appropriate.

Give Xiao Jiyun thirty strokes of the cane, order him to be confined at home for half a year, and his salary will be reduced by half during this period.

Do you have any objections?"

"Thank you, father, for your mercy!"

Xiao Jiyun quickly agreed. The emperor's punishment was too light for him and he could accept it completely.

It's just thirty strokes of the cane. He is also a warrior and can bear it completely.

As for the salary reduction by half, it's reduced if it's reduced, and the source of expenditure of the royal palace does not rely on this.

So whenever the emperor said that the salary was reduced by half and the salary was fined for so many years, no official cared at all, unless the person was a truly honest official.

Otherwise, who really relied on this salary to live, it would be a problem to support a family, not to mention daily relationships.

It was just that the confinement for half a year had some impact on Xiao Jiyun, that is to say, during this half year, he could not interfere in the affairs of the court.

At this point, there is nothing that can be done. It is a good thing that the emperor does not remove his prince's hat.

There is a green mountain, there is no fear of lack of firewood.

When he is out of confinement, he can compete with the prince and Xiao Tianyu again.

It can also be seen from this that the emperor really loves Xiao Jiyun.

If it were Xiao Tingxuan, it would probably not be like this. He would definitely kill his entire clan and kill himself.

Seeing that Xiao Jiyun had no objection, the emperor waved his hand and signaled to take Xiao Jiyun away to beat him with thirty boards, and then send him home for confinement for half a year.

"Your Majesty, is it a real beating or a fake beating?" At this time, the eunuch beside the emperor walked up to the emperor and asked softly.

As soon as the eunuch said this, he saw the emperor's sharp eyes staring at him viciously.

If it weren't for the fact that this old thing had followed him for so many years, even if he had no merit, he had worked hard, the emperor really wanted to slap this old thing.

He really has no sense of judgment. His punishment is so low, and if he pretends to beat him, where is the emperor's face.

No matter whether Xiao Jiyun can bear it or not, he must take the thirty strokes.

After seeing the emperor's eyes, the eunuch was shocked and instantly had the answer in his mind. It seems that he can't hold back today.

From the emperor's eyes, it can be seen that in today's situation, one of Xiao Jiyun and him must lie down.

From this point of view, it must be Xiao Jiyun who lies down. He is old and can't endure like a young man.
