King’s House Kindergarten

In mid-February, Zhuo Yuan rushed back to Beijing.

Before Zhuo Xin returned from the court, Tao Dongzhou came to meet him at the gate of the city. Seeing Zhuo Yuan leading a few horses, Tao Dongzhou greeted him from afar, "Your Highness."

Zhuo Yuan dismounted and got into the carriage with Tao Dongzhou, "What's the matter, Uncle Tao?"

It's not that the three words in the letter are not clear, but that Uncle Tao did not dare to mention it in the letter. Uncle Tao wanted to talk about it after meeting him.

Putting down the curtains, the carriage drove towards Beijing.

Tao Dongzhou said softly, "I heard that the reason behind the incident is that His Majesty summoned Xu Xiang privately in front of the sickbed..."

Zhuo Yuan was stunned.

Tao Dongzhou continued, "After the prince found out, Xu Xiang went to prison soon."

Zhuo Yuan frowned, "Has the prince reached such a blatant level?"

Tao Dongzhou stroked his beard.

Zhuo Yuan continued, "Lian Yun is not so stupid."

Tao Dongzhou sighed, "My lord, it's because the prince's mood is very unstable recently, and he often suffers from headaches. When he falls ill, he accidentally kills the prince Liangdi..."

Zhuo Yuan was stunned.

Tao Dongzhou continued, "After the death of the prince Liangdi, the prince cried bitterly in the palace again, and heard the ears and eyes in the palace say that the prince should be very ill, and when the head disease strikes, the six relatives will not be recognized, and all his confidants in the palace will be killed by mistake. many."

how come?

Zhuo Yuan never expected the situation to reach this point.

Tao Dongzhou said again, "Right now, even the Crown Prince's cronies are hesitant and watching, and if things go on like this, if the Crown Prince really ascends the throne, I still don't know what the West Qin Kingdom and Chaozhong Huiluan City will look like... The young voice said in private that he wanted to talk to the Tianjia family and establish the grandson of the emperor..."

Zhuo Yuan did not speak for a long time.

The grandson of Lihuang is the fact that the forces under the prince are ready to abandon the prince and turn the prince's son...

This matter is inherently delicate, and at this juncture, Xu Li's going to prison is more fortunate than for good.

Zhuo Yuan asked, "How did Xu Li conflict with the prince?"

Even if the Tian Family summoned Xu Li privately, Lian Yun would have no reason to detain Xu Li, and would definitely find an excuse.

Tao Dongzhou said, "A period of time before the New Year's Eve, the crown prince suffered a disease. When he didn't like it, he would kill everyone. Xu Xiang stopped several times in the court, which made the prince unhappy, but because of Xu Xiang's identity, It's not easy to attack. The incident happened in the first place of the New Year. When the hundred officials entered the palace to pay homage to the Spring Festival, the prince drew his sword in public and beheaded the minister of the household in front of the ministers and family members. Xu Xiang couldn't bear it, so he and the prince When there was a conflict, the prince directly reprimanded Xu Xiangxia for committing the crime, and threw Xu Xiang into the prison of Dali Temple, where he is still in prison."

No wonder Uncle Tao didn't mention it in the letter. The matter involved too much, and it was easy to misjudge.

Uncle Tao deliberately talked to him in person.

"Why did the prince kill the minister of the household?" Zhuo Yuan asked again.

Tao Dongzhou swallowed softly in his throat, and sighed in a deep voice, "It's because the disaster relief food and salaries are not timely..."

"Not enough food for disaster relief?" Zhuo Yuan was surprised, because of this reason, he killed people in public?

Tao Dongzhou said in a deep voice, "And yes, I didn't even ask the minister of the household, and then he beheaded the person and splattered blood on the spot. Afterwards, I heard someone in the court say that there was a mistake in it, as long as the Dali Temple is instructed. The interrogation will know the reason, but because he didn't ask a single question, the person died tragically on the spot, and his wife was still there."

Zhuo Yuan closed his eyes and remained silent.

After a while, Zhuo Yuan asked again, "Who was in the palace that day?"

Tao Dongzhou said, "Second son and fourth son."

And Ah Si? Zhuo Yuan asked, "Are you intimidated?"

Tao Dongzhou sighed, "Second Young Master is fine. After Fourth Young Master came back, he didn't say much, so he must have been intimidated."

The carriage was quiet again.

Suddenly, Zhuo Yuan seemed to have made up his mind, "I'll go to Dali Temple and see Xu Li."

"Your Highness, think twice, it's not appropriate to go to Dali Temple at this time." Uncle Tao urged seriously.

The reason why he didn't write the whole story clearly on the paper was that he would go to Dali Temple to see people because he was afraid that his brain would become hot. These are not the right time. The Prince Pingyuan wanted to be alone, so he should not know that the prince would be targeted at this time. Xu Li, also went to Dali Temple to meet Xu Li!

After Uncle Tao finished speaking, Zhuo Yuan looked at him, "But Uncle Tao, if I don't go at this time, Xu Li will die."

Tao Dongzhou was silent.

***

When the officials of Dali Temple saw Zhuo Yuan, no one dared to stop him.

When King Pingyuan was away from Beijing for some time, he came to Dali Temple to see Xu Xiang when he returned to Beijing. It should be because he didn’t know the whole story. The officials of Dali Temple wanted to remind him, but when he saw King Pingyuan’s gloomy face, he must see Xu Xiang. .

Dali Temple officials swallowed the words and led King Pingyuan to the prison.

Earlier, the Tianjia also threw King Pingyuan to Dali Temple.

But at that time, it was in the back garden room of Dali Temple, with courtesy inside and outside, in fact, it was confinement.

But now things are different.

What Xu Xiang entered was a prison...a prison in Dali Temple where he might not be able to get out again...

Zhuo Yuan went to the dark prison while following behind the officials of Dali Temple, and his face became more and more difficult to look at.

But Xu Li was the chief of a country anyway, and especially after Liu Xiang had taken care of his life, Xu Li was the head of the hundred officials, so Lian Yun still did not lose his last reason, and threw Xu Li into the deepest part of the Dali Temple prison!

He knows who is locked in the deepest part! Close the high rise.

Right now, here is only the top floor of the Dali Temple prison, and only Xu Li is alone.

Hearing the footsteps, Xu Li didn't get up, and even sat with his back against the prison door, without even turning his head.

When King Pingyuan wanted to see Xu Xiang, the officials and officers of the Dali Temple opened the door, and they all withdrew, and no one dared to stay any longer.

Zhuo Yuan was in prison, Xu Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if there were no surprises.

At this time, there are not many people who come to Dali Temple prison to see him, Zhuo Yuanxu is the only one.

With his back against the prison door, he sat on the ground.

Zhuo Yuan also stepped forward and sat opposite him, "Lianyun has gone crazy, so are you?"

Xu Li saw no waves in the ancient well, "He will kill anyone he meets. The minister of the household is already an important member of the court. The blood splattered on the spot. I won't stop it. I don't know how many people will die in the court?"

"He's crazy, he kills everyone, but he will listen if you stop him?" Xu Li couldn't refute what Zhuo Yuan said.

Zhuo Yuan looked around, confirmed that there were others around him, and said in a low voice, "You wouldn't be so rash, Xu Li, you did it on purpose."

Xu Li glanced at him and avoided the past, "I have put my life and death aside, if he wants to kill him, I will kill him. I am the head of all officials, I can't help but stop..."

Zhuo Yuan interrupted, "I've seen too many dead people, I don't want you to die too..."

Zhuo Yuan paused, then said, "I don't want you to be used as a knife."

Xu Li's eyes were slightly tight, and he looked at him nervously.

If that was the case, Zhuo Yuan was even more sure, and then leaned closer, "You deliberately became a target on the first day of the first lunar month, so that Lian Yun could focus all of his attention on you, Xu Li, what did Your Majesty tell you?"

His eyes were deep and blue, and Xu Li felt that he wanted to see through himself.

Xu Li sighed, "Qingzhi, it's better that you don't know."

Zhuo Yuan sneered lightly, "I have been riding a fast horse for half a month, rushing to Beijing day and night. It's better if you tell me I don't know?"

Xu Li paused for a while, and had to close his eyes before opening them again. His tone had returned to his usual calm, "The prince has gone mad. He has placed His Majesty under house arrest. When his head attacked, he even threatened to kill His Majesty the Seventh Highness."

Zhuo Yuan was stunned.

Xu Li raised his head, "He killed the first prince, and a fire in the manor of the state killed so many people. With him, what will happen to Western Qin in the future? Just like two hundred years ago, it has provoked anger and resentment, and is torn apart and slaughtered by others?"

Zhuo Yuan was speechless.

Xu Li was also silent for a long time.

Zhuo Yuan suddenly said, "What exactly does Your Majesty ask you to do?"

Xu Li looked at him and said, "His Majesty wants to help His Royal Highness to take the throne. This matter is of great importance and there is no room for loss. Therefore, we must ensure that all the attention of the prince is on me, so that we can arrange the follow-up matters."

The Seventh Highness is also a princess.

The Tian family wanted the princess to ascend the throne, and also wanted to pull Lian Yun down from the crown prince...

Zhuo Yuan looked at Xu Li, "The prince has a heir, even if the prince steps down, the heir is not at fault."

Xu Li interrupted, "Have you ever seen the prince fall in love with a pair of children? He can even kill his own younger brother. What is a pair of children?"

Zhuo Yuan warned, "Xu Li, you will die like this."

Xu Li chuckled, "Since they all die, what's the difference between dying early and dying late?"

Zhuo Yuan clenched his fingertips, got up and walked out of the prison.

Sure enough, the Tian family didn't know that Lianyuan was still alive, so they put their thoughts on the Seventh Highness.

If the Tian family had no reason to abolish the prince, they would not give up the prince's children directly, and instead entrust the crown prince to His Highness the Seventh...

In this muddy water, Xu Li was not clear.

Can't even afford to travel!

Zhuo Yuan paced out of the prison of Dali Temple. On one side, a Dali Temple official greeted him, "Your Highness."

Zhuo Yuan glanced at him, recognized his own, and then warned, "Let people be optimistic, don't let Xu Li die."

"Understood." Dali Temple officials quickly left.

Zhuo Yuan went straight out of the Dali Temple, but saw the carriage in the palace parked outside the Dali Temple, and the inner courtier bowed his hands to him, "King Pingyuan, His Royal Highness has a request."

Zhuo Yuan was not surprised.

If he wants to come to the Dali Temple prison to see Xu Li, he should have imagined that the prince has many eyes and ears...

Zhuo Yuan lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

Nowadays, the prince is in charge of the country, and the prince is usually in the imperial study.

Outside the imperial study, after waiting for the ministers in the dark, everyone was surprised when they saw Zhuo Yuan. Has King Pingyuan returned to the capital?

When did it happen?

But they don't know, that must have just returned to Beijing!

Just after returning to Beijing, the crown prince announced to see him. Could it be that the crown prince and King Pingyuan were walking closer?

Under the suspicion of the officials outside the imperial study, Zhuo Yuan entered.

Everyone said that the prince seemed to be crazy when he had a headache. Lian Yun, who was in front of Zhuo Yuan, was still watching the memorial carefully, and he didn't look crazy at all.

"Zhuo Yuan, you're here." Even the voice was calm.

Zhuo Yuan handed over, "Zhuo Yuan has seen His Highness."

Lian Yun didn't ask him to get up, but glanced at him and continued to ask, "I heard that you went to the Dali Temple prison to meet Xu Li just after returning to Beijing?"

It was because of Xu Li, Zhuo Yun replied, "Yes."

Lian Yun glanced at him, "What did Xu Li tell you?"

Seeing him stop and look at him, as if to judge whether he is lying.

Zhuo Yuan said word by word, "He has been scolding the prince."

Lian Yun also observed his traces little by little, seeing that when he spoke, his expression was indifferent, not like he was lying, and Xu Li, it was really possible that he kept scolding him.

Lian Yun groaned lightly, and then lowered her head again, looking at Zhezi, while casually said, "Pingyuan King has always been at odds with me, there are rumors outside, the next person I want to move is King Pingyuan Prince Pingyuan Prince..."

"Tsk tsk" Lian Yun chuckled lightly, "How come?"

Zhuo Yuan looked at him.

Lian Yun smiled and said, "Your Pingyuan Palace has the foundation of your Pingyuan Palace, and there was no irreconcilable conflict between you and me."

Lianyun picked up the pen again, and said quietly, "Zhuo Yuan, you are a smart person. Today's glory of your Pingyuan palace was bought by your father and brother with their lives. It's hard-won, don't destroy it with your own hands."
