There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

That night, everyone in the capital was in fear. As soon as it was dawn, Shi Nai sent someone to Baolinghou's mansion to inform Shi Bosong and his brothers.

It turned out that yesterday was a holiday for the officials, and the imperial army had to change their defenses in large numbers. In addition, the weather was hot, and the virtuous government given by the saints made it possible to not have too many people on duty at noon in the scorching heat, and only a large number of people were on duty at night in the afternoon and evening.The prince took advantage of this gap, summoned a group of troops, and rebelled.

The visitor described the scene at that time.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The sage asked the prince: "You have no heirs, and your body is ruined. What are you trying to rebel against?"

"Who says I have no heirs? You killed all my sons, but I still have grandsons. As long as I sit on the throne, the world will provide for them. What kind of body can't take care of me?" The prince yelled madly.

"I killed it?"

"Who else would have killed it if you hadn't? If you hadn't indulged those lowly bastards, how would they have the guts to get involved in the reserve position, and how could my son die."

"They died of infirmity!" said the saint.

"Do you believe that he died of illness?" The prince asked the sage with a smile. He had been a filial son for 40 years, but now he no longer wants to be a son. Father, tell me, do you believe it?"

"They really died of illness." The saint gasped, and he was not sad about the death of his grandson. He checked at that time, and even a grandson did die of illness. If there is no court strife, no struggle in the back house, he died of illness.

"Well, the emperor said that he died of illness, that is, he died of illness. Who made you a saint." The prince Na Na arrived, and suddenly raised his voice: "Now, it's my turn to be a saint. I said my son was killed by others." The one who kills is the one who was killed, I want those people to pay for his life! Pay for his life!"

The sage watched the prince's eye sockets cracked, eyes red as if they were about to bleed, and sighed wearily: "You want me to pay them with my life."

"How dare my son." The prince pretended to be modest: "Father, you are old and confused, you pass the throne to me, okay? You made me the prince, don't you just want me to be a saint in the future? What's the difference if it's just moving the time forward?"

"After all, it's still for the throne."

"Father, let me call you Father again. You have loved me for 40 years. Do you love me again, okay?" The prince had tears in his eyes, looking at the old father, and begged, if you can , Why did he want to remonstrate and force the palace? It's a pity that the father's kindness and filial piety came from the Tianjia. Before, he was fascinated by his father's warmth, but now he is finally broken.

"In this world, I can only hand it over to the most suitable person, not the person I love the most."

"I'm not the most suitable person, am I?" the prince asked softly, quietly waiting for the sage's answer, as if he was afraid that his last hope would be shattered if he made a loud noise.

"Yes!"

"Hahahaha..." The prince looked up to the sky and screamed, laughing until tears came out, and coughing, "This is your love, the most suitable, haha, the most suitable... If this is the case, don't blame Erchen for being cruel .do it!"

As soon as the prince gave an order, the soldiers were about to attack. Suddenly, all the soldiers on the prince's side fell down. The prince looked at the saint in amazement, thinking that the saint was catching a turtle in his urn.The sage ignored the prince, just stared at the gate, creak~ the gate opened.

The third prince, Duan Wangye, was dressed in armor and walked in.

"Are you also coming to Qingjun's side?" The saint asked in a deep voice.

Prince Duan was obviously more calm. To appear in such a way, he was still respectful to the saint. "Father misunderstood me, how could I do such a rebellious thing." "Then what are you doing here?"

"Father, the sons and servants are here to escort you. The crown prince raised an army to cause chaos, and the father righteously killed his relatives. However, the prince's cunning nature hurt the father. Wuhu, the father's generation of sages died at the hands of such a rebellious courtier who committed regicide. "Oh, I'm dead, the country can't live without a king, what are you going to do?" asked the sage.

"The important matter of the ownership of Guozuo is something that the ministers can plan... Fortunately, the father left a will before his death, and the relatives and nobles in the court will act according to the emperor's will, and there will be no mistakes."

"The will will make you the new emperor?"

"Father is holy!" Prince Duan exaggeratedly shouted, "Father is satisfied with this ending?"

The saint looked at his third son who was excellent in singing and writing, "You still look good as an actor, but you are not as good as a saint."

"Hmph!" Prince Duan couldn't maintain his hypocritical politeness, and said sharply, "Father, do you think it's up to you now? Come, do it!"

Prince Duan called for action, the one who died was indeed his own, the script once again staged a scene from the original plot, and the door opened again.

The saint sat alone on the dragon chair, and laughed in a low voice, "These sons of mine, really, don't have any new tricks, who else, let's come out together."

This time it was the Seventh Prince Xianwang who entered the door. The Seventh Prince was the youngest among the princes who participated in the seizure of the heir, but he was indeed the most vicious. When he entered the door, he said bluntly: "What should be said, the two emperor brothers have said it, my son! Let's stop talking nonsense, the emperor will issue an abdication edict."

"I just issued an edict, there is only one throne, how will you three divide it?"

"Father, you don't need to provoke..." Before the third prince could finish his words, the seventh prince Xian Wang stabbed his sword into his body, and pulled out the sword forcefully. Indifferently, "There are only two people like this. If I kill the prince, there will only be one person left."

"You...you..." The saint obviously didn't expect his son to be so vicious.

"What about me, father, please issue an edict, don't waste time." Prince Xian urged.

"Yeah, don't waste time, let's do it." The saint waved his hand wearily, and many men in black jumped down from the beams, holding steel knives, harvesting human lives like harvesting wheat. In the hall, except for the prince and Prince Xian , Everyone else lay down, and the saint waved his hand again, and these men in black who had come and gone without a trace receded like the tide again.At this time, Shi Nai, dressed in military uniform, strode into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, knelt down on the ground, and reported: "Return to the saint, all the rebels in the palace have been cleared up, and all the camps outside the palace have stabilized."

"Understood, back off."

This is the end of the visitor's narration. It seems that the crown prince, third prince Duan Wangye, and seventh prince Xian Wangye have all finished playing, and now only the fourth prince Rong of the Zhen family and the sixth prince born by Empress Liu are left.

Shi Bosong and Shi Zhongzhu packed up their clothes and prepared to go to court. Since the situation is under the control of the saint, life will continue as usual.

Suddenly, the servant came to report, and the father-in-law of the Hall of Mental Cultivation came.

Shi Bosong and Shi Zhongzhu looked at each other. It was not a good omen that an angel came to announce the decree at this juncture. With a feeling of anxiety, Shi Zhongzhu saw the little Eunuch Chen in the front hall.

"Shi Sheren, the saint asked you to be on duty today." Little Eunuch Chen said politely.

"today?"

"That's right, Mr. Wei Haogu was wounded bravely in order to save Shengjia, so please ask Shi Sheren to take the lead." Little Eunuch Chen explained.

However, after resting for a day, the situation turned upside down. It seemed that Wei Haogu was going to go straight up in the future, but when Shi Nai sent someone to talk about it, why didn't he say anything about Wei Haogu's rescue.Shi Zhongzhu cupped his hands and said: "Serving a saint is a matter of course." Shi Zhongzhu went to change the court clothes of the third-rank nobleman, put on his blue uniform of the seventh-rank Sheren, and went on duty.Shi Zhongzhu had never been so thankful that his official position was low, and his clothes were inconspicuous. If he was a high-ranking official, it would be sad to think about wearing a bright red suit to a saint whose son had just died.

Shi Zhongzhu, wearing a low-key Tsing Yi, followed Eunuch Chen to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Now the air pressure in the Hall of Mental Cultivation is very low, even though the saint has not returned to court, the hall is not as lively as before, it seems that even the air has condensed.

Today, Shi Zhongzhu and Jing Yuan were on duty together. Both of them were young and inexperienced. Seeing the saint come back in a hurry, even as bold as Shi Zhongzhu, he was cautious, afraid of being angered by the saint.

"Crack~crack~crack~" The saint threw all the memorials and decorations on the dragon case: "I'm so mad, what a Wei Yan, what a family!"

Hearing Wei Yan's name, Shi Zhongzhu's heart ached, what did his uncle dare to make a saint like this?

"Get out! Get out! Get out of here." The birthday boy roared.

Shi Zhongzhu, Jing Yuan, and Eunuch Gao led a group of maids and servants out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Jing Yuan walked in front, Shi Zhongzhu fell behind, and asked Gao Wei in a low voice: "Eunuch Gao, what's going on?"

Gao Wei knew that he was asking about Wei Yan, and he thought these things were not secrets, so it was okay to tell him, so he whispered: "Wei Yushi went to the court this morning and said that the crimes of the third prince and the seventh prince are unforgivable. The crown prince’s love is justifiable, the heavenly family does not distinguish between the concubine and the concubine, that’s why today’s calamity happened to Xiao Qiang. The meaning behind the words is that such a rebellion happened because of the sage’s love for the concubine, and there is also some pride of the family that has been passed down for thousands of years.”

Shi Zhongzhu screamed for death in his heart.Is it the land of the king in the whole world, is it the minister of the king on the shore of the land, you are a part-time worker, what is the rivalry with the boss, the family is already going downhill now, it is not the same as "the king and the horse, the same world" back then, the family can be protected I can't live with you!

"How does the saint deal with it?"

"The sage put Master Wei Yan in prison first, and the formal punishment has not yet come out." Gao Wei arrived.

After thanking Eunuch Gao Wei, Shi Zhongzhu returned to the side hall where he was on duty. Now the side hall was full of officials waiting to be summoned. Jing Yuan came over and asked, "Your Majesty Wei Yan has angered the sage Longyan, can you go and intercede?"

"The saint hasn't been officially dealt with, so I can't say much."

"Master Wei is your uncle. I heard that you are engaged to a girl from the Wei family, so Mr. Wei is still your father-in-law."

Shi Zhongzhu heard that the sound was wrong, he glanced at Jing Yuan expressionlessly, thinking, when did he offend Jing Yuan?He responded calmly: "The sage judges the world arbitrarily, you and I can guess, is Brother Jing asking me to guess the Sacred Heart?" Shi Zhongzhu didn't even call Peng Cheng's words, and called him Brother Jing directly, warning Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan is not a fool, he smiled and said: "Yaoyun, you misunderstood, I was worried about acting impulsively, I would like to remind you."

"Thank you Pengcheng."

The sage had a bad temper, Shi Zhongzhu stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a whole day, and then he dragged his exhausted body back home.Wei Shi took Wei Zhenniang across the house to ask for help.Shi Bosong is now in Beijing, representing the Bowling Hou Mansion. The situation is chaotic now, and he dare not promise anything easily.When Shi Zhongzhu went back, Wei Shishi was wiping tears in the living room.

"Auntie, you are here." Shi Zhongzhu greeted.

"I don't dare to be your aunt. There is still no place for me in the Baolinghou Mansion. The master is in prison, but my natal family is standing by. Brother Zhu, Zhenniang is your fiancée." Wei Shi cried.

"Auntie, I know, and I haven't forgotten. You also know that the situation is tense now. My brother is in charge of the Bowling House. Naturally, he dare not promise you anything. Have you ever gone to see Third Uncle?"

Seeing Shi Zhongzhu's good attitude, Wei Shishi was a little relieved, and said, "I've looked for it, but I haven't seen it. The third brother is busy with important affairs, and I only see the third sister-in-law."

Hearing that the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were having conflicts, Shi Zhongzhu didn't answer, and persuaded him: "Auntie, we have double in-laws. I'm by the saint's side. If I find a chance, I will definitely intercede for my uncle. But, you can't hold back."

"When did I slow down!" Wei Shishi stared and was about to go crazy.

"Auntie, I'm not saying that you did this on purpose. It's just that the court is fighting and the waves are secretive. If you are taken advantage of by others, wouldn't your loved ones hurt your enemies?" Shi Zhongzhu quickly explained: "Like now, don't come here and there. Asking for help, such a big thing happened, you can’t solve the problem with just a few good words at the door, let the sage see it, it’s like your uncle is forming a gang, you are the support of the family now, you must do it Be careful."

"What you said is also reasonable, but if you don't come to the door, how can the master be saved?"

"Those who are willing to save will naturally save, and those who are not willing to save are useless to talk about it. Like me, even if my aunt does not come, I will not stand by." Shi Zhongzhu affirmed.

"Good boy, good boy, aunt knows you won't die, aunt knows." Wei Shishi murmured.

After Shi Zhongzhu sent Wei Shishi and his party out, he let out a long breath and spread out on the chair. "There is no peace at home, I am exhausted."

"Okay, go to bed and lie down." Shi Bosong pulled him up.

"Second Lord, I have a letter." At this moment, a servant ran over and handed an envelope to Shi Zhongzhu.

Well, I can't lie down.
