The prince is seriously ill

Xu House.

Xu Zhishan said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao and Mr. Shen are here. Xu is far away to welcome him, please come inside quickly."

Xun Yu said: "Tomorrow morning, I would like to ask Lord Xu to help me with one thing."

Xu Zhishan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, but it's okay to say, if Xu can do it, he will definitely go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants."

"It's not necessary to go through fire and water, but I just want to ask Mr. Xu to explain the matter to his father in the early morning." After Xun Yu finished speaking, he studied the ink, picked up a pen and wrote eight sentences on the paper, and brought it close to his ear. At the same time, he whispered a few words, raised his head, and handed the wet paper to him, looked at Xu Zhishan who was stunned, and said slowly: "How to do it, Master Xu understands?"

Xu Zhishan came back to his senses at the first glance, with a troubled expression on his face, but he didn't take the paper for a long time. After a long time, he took a deep look at Xun Yu, and for the first time there was inexplicable fear in his eyes, just like seeing a piece of true love hidden in a fake mask. Use your heart to see the fire of resentment that has been hidden for a long time.

Xu Zhishan pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang has thought it through?"

Xun Yu said: "If Mr. Xu is not happy, I won't bother you."

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment," Xu Zhishan hurriedly stopped him, reached out to take the paper in Xun Yu's hand, and bowed respectfully, "I hope that only His Royal Highness Zhao will follow."

Xun Yu stopped and turned back, "So, I will wait for the good news from Master Xu in Chonghua Palace."

That night, Xu Zhishan stayed up all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Zhishan stood anxiously.

Emperor Xun Zhi sat tensely on the dragon chair, staring at an empty seat in the front row of the officials, clenched his hands into fists, and remained motionless.This position originally belonged to Xun Yu.

Suddenly, an eunuch walked in, lowered his head, and said tremblingly: "Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Zhao said that he is ill and cannot come today."

For a while, there was a deathly silence, and everyone held their breath for fear of panting loudly.

Xun Zhi's cloudy eyes moved, and his eyes turned to the eunuch, but he remained silent, and waved his hand wearily, and the eunuch stepped back cautiously.

Xu Zhishan never left the emperor, secretly observing his reaction.Seeing that he did not lose his temper as expected, he was slightly puzzled in his heart, but he no longer hesitated, as if he had become more courageous, he strode forward, holding a note in both hands and said: "Report to the emperor, I have something to report .”

Xun Zhi glanced at him absent-mindedly, "What's the matter with you?"

Xu Zhishan said: "Recently, there was a nursery rhyme circulating in the capital. I don't know who wrote it. The nursery rhyme blatantly insulted the emperor. I have arrested the person who sang it. Please forgive me."

The eunuch came to take the note and presented it to Xun Zhi.

After Xun Zhi saw it, his complexion changed drastically, his eyeballs seemed to pop out, and he clenched the note tightly with both hands, as if it was about to be crushed!Hao Ran wrote eight sentences on the note——

"It was originally ninety-five statues, but Taishui sighed without roots. The woman is a woman of a thousand, and the son is the son of a Qin man. I know the truth every day and night, and who will the son return to? The eldest son will not live long, but fortunately Zhongzi returns."

The muscles on his face trembled like sifting chaff, Xun Zhi read it again from the beginning to the end, screamed, tore up the note fiercely, smashed it on the ground like crazy, swept the imperial case with both hands, and threw all the memorials on the ground. With a creaking sound, he kicked away the obtrusive table, stumbled down the high platform, grabbed Xu Zhishan's lapel, and shouted angrily: "Liars! You are all liars! Tell me, who planned all this? The person who sang is here Where? I'm going to tear him into pieces! Where is that person? Tell me!"

Xu Zhishan knelt down and said falteringly: "The prisoner is here, just outside the hall, just waiting for the emperor to summon him." He turned back and shouted, "Hurry up and bring him up."

Xun Zhi threw Xu Zhishan away vigorously, with too much force, his eyes went dark for a while, and he pushed him a few steps away, and he also backed up a little bit.After a while, Xun Zhi stood still against the eunuch, staring at the prisoner brought up by the guards. Seeing that his hands and feet were tied up with ropes and his head was covered with a big black cloth, he rushed over furiously, tore off the black mask, and looked around. At the moment of confrontation, he was startled, his eyes were bulging, and he stared at the prisoner in front of him in disbelief. Fortunately, the eunuch supported him so that he would not fall down.

Xun Zhi backed away subconsciously, pointing at the tip of the prisoner's nose with a trembling index finger, looked to the left and right in a panic and said: "Who, who called this dead thing? Get out, let him get out! Come on, someone, get him out!" Put him down and execute him immediately! Execute him quickly!"

Xun Zhi roared like an epileptic.Why do you still have the face to appear in front of me?I have held you in my hand and spoiled you for 20 years, 20 years, isn't it enough?Why do you still embarrass me today? !I treat you with all my heart and soul, but I never imagined that you are someone else's bastard!I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid!Made wedding dresses for others for 20 years!Xun Zhi raised his head unsteadily, looked at all the court officials who had lowered their heads and dared not look directly at them, and then glanced at the torn paper scraps on the ground, as if going mad, he burst out into a burst of laughter, "Hahahaha, woman For a woman of a thousand, her son is the son of a man of Qin, well said, really well said!"

In an instant, the anger of being betrayed by his favorite concubine and courtiers, the pain of being betrayed by his former beloved son, the helplessness of being forced to accept the cripple, and the shock of being alive again all flooded into his heart, and he suppressed it all. Like a thousand catties of heavy burden, it slammed across his few bearing capacity.With a sweet throat, his face swelled instantly, and a mouthful of blood spewed out, Xun Zhi fell straight back.

Xun Jin opened his eyes fiercely, and finally saw his father, but a rag was stuffed in his mouth. Apart from staring at him, all the words he said were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.After waiting for so long, I finally saw him, but I didn't expect that he really wanted to execute me?His most respected father, could actually kill him?Suddenly the sky fell down, like a knife stabbing him hard in the heart, the only source of motivation to support him to live no longer existed, the vitality in his eyes finally disappeared, and he turned into endless death gas!My father wants to kill me, what Qin Dian said is true, so everything is true!I'm not his child, nor a prince, I'm a bastard!Just a shady bastard!

Xun Jin stopped struggling, like a puppet whose thread was in someone else's hands and could be held at will.

Chonghua Palace.

Xun Yu listened to the report of the affairs in the palace, turned around, and said expressionlessly: "Father fell ill, what did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that the emperor's sudden onset of illness was caused by the invasion of external evils and his anger. If you want to recover, you must rest and rest, and you must not get angry again."

Shen Jun said: "It seems that Fuchen's move is quite powerful."

Xun Yu snorted coldly and said: "That person loves face the most. When he found out that he had worked so hard to cover up the scandal, he made it into a ballad and sang it everywhere. How can he accept it? If he is stimulated by the living Xun Jin, he will naturally be unbearable and lose like a mountain." " After a pause, Xun Yu said again, "This is just the beginning."

As soon as the words fell, the servant suddenly said: "Report to His Royal Highness King Zhao, Eunuch Chang has come to Chonghua Palace to announce the decree under the emperor's order."

Xun Yu and Shen Jun looked at each other, got up and walked to the lobby.

"Xunyu, the king of Zhao, hides his power and hides his traces. He has the demeanor of the Liang ancestor and the appearance of the emperor. Today, Xunyu, the king of Zhao, is specially named the prince, and he is appointed as the heir to consolidate the foundation of the country. In addition, I have recently suffered from illness. I am getting older and cannot be in court for a while, but the country will not be without a king for a day, and the prince is specially ordered to supervise the country, and Daizong has been enshrined. This is my honor."

After reading, Eunuch Chang lowered his head again and said: "The emperor asked the servant to tell His Highness the Crown Prince, and asked His Highness to accompany the servant into the palace to meet the Emperor."

Xun Yu took the imperial decree and put it on the table casually. After a long while, he sneered and said, "Since you have made me the crown prince, I should also enter the palace to thank you."

"Your Majesty ordered it specifically, and I saw only one of the Crown Prince's Highness." Eunuch Chang raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Jun, "Please rest assured, Mr. Shen, the Emperor just wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with His Highness the Crown Prince, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to be present."

Shen Jun raised his eyebrows and said: "I and Fuchen have long been integrated into one body. Fuchen belongs to me and I belong to him. How can there be any distinction between inside and outside?" He looked at Xun Yu with a warm smile, "I will accompany you into the palace , if you don’t want me to go in, I’ll wait outside the door, and if there’s anything, you can call me and I’ll hear it.”

Xun Yu nodded and asked him to wait outside the door, and he and Eunuch Chang entered the emperor's inner room.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Xun Zhi lay half-lying against the head of the bed, covering his body with a thick quilt, his dull eyes caught a glimpse of Xun Yu approaching, his chest was panting rapidly, he coughed violently, and spit out a few mouthfuls of thick phlegm before he felt more comfortable , hoarse voice: "You all go down."

The eunuch withdrew the spittoon.

Only then did Xun Zhi lift his heavy eyelids, lifted the quilt, supported the bed with both hands, stood up with difficulty, put on a big cloak casually, walked up to him slowly, and sighed: "I know you are doing it on purpose." To take revenge on me, you gave me a severe blow in the court yesterday, as you wished, my face was completely wiped away by you, you should also vent your anger. The previous things belonged to me No, I apologize to you. You are also a member of the royal family. If you publicize your family ugliness, it will make you feel better, and your father will also admit it! However, you and I are blood-linked father and son after all. Wanwang Yuer understands."

As Xun Zhi said, his trembling hands rested on his shoulders.

Xun Yu stood still, but put one hand on Xun Zhi's hand. Before he had time to get lucky, he swung his hand away vigorously, as if his hand was dirty from the contact with him, and wiped it vigorously with a handkerchief. Shit, "Father, do you think this is enough? If Father didn't know that Xun Jin is not your son, and I am the only prince left in the whole world, why would Father look at me, a lame person?"

"Before I was seven years old, I said I was a prince, but my life was worse than that of a pig or a dog. I had never met my biological father, and I didn't know who he was, but I knew from the eunuchs and maids that I am the father of others in this world." The person I want to kill the most. Now, you keep saying that you are my father. As a father, have you ever done a little bit of morality? As a king, have you ever given me a little protection? Since I was young, what have you given me? ? Have you ever hugged me once?"

Xun Zhi laughed out loud, tears came out of his eyes, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I held you in my arms when you were born, but you were born so... One foot, if it wasn't for this foot, how could the father—"

Xun Yu suppressed his anger and roared: "You gave this life, and you gave this crippled body. The poison of a tiger never eats its offspring, and its ugly mother doesn't dislike it. Why did you come to the emperor's place because you grew up?" With a different foot, can he be thrown into the cold palace for seven years and be ignored? Can he be framed and imprisoned in the prison of ceremonies at will, and life and death will be left to him? Then he can be sent away to become a monk with a stroke of a pen and an imperial decree? I have been missing for more than ten years, and I just pretend that I don’t have this person, and I’m left alone? You don’t support me, you don’t care about me, you don’t teach me, tell me, what did you give me?”

Xun Zhi said excitedly: "Didn't I give you your life? I will give you your identity, everything you have now, including my country in the future! In the past, I was sorry for you, but after all It’s already a thing of the past. Isn’t it good to let Suifeng pass the grievances and grievances of the past? God is merciful, let you and my father and son reunite today. As long as Yu’er is willing to give me a chance, I will definitely make up for everything I owe you Here you go! If you want favor, I will give it to you a hundred times more than Xun Jin. If you want power, I will make you the crown prince who is under one person and above ten thousand people. If you are still not satisfied, I will let my country hand over It’s all right to give in! You are my only son, and everything I own belongs to you! I have nothing else to ask but Yuer’s forgiveness for my father’s mistakes.”

Xun Jin sneered and said: "I don't care for your favor at all. As for your rights and your country, why should I need you to give them alms? Things given by others will not last long sooner or later. I snatch them myself. It really belongs to me."

Xun Zhi's face was pale, and he slumped on the chair weakly.

"Father keeps saying that we are father and son, so I will ask Father, since the day I was born, how many times has Father seen me in total? Father and nobleman often forget things, but I remember them clearly."

"In my memory, I have met my father three times in total." Xun Yu said and stretched out a finger, "The first time, in the martial arts field, my father hugged Xun Jin and joked. I went to the Imperial College for the first time and hid in the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. I peeked at my father, and I dare not let my father see it, for fear of disturbing my father." Then he added another finger, "The second time, in the imperial garden, my father framed me for stealing the jade pendant and took me into prison. Supervisor of Rituals, let those eunuchs teach me what court etiquette is." Xun Yu stretched out his third finger, "The third time, at Liyang Palace, father rushed in with a group of guards, and ignored my plea, Kicked me on the head, told me personally that you are not my father, I am not worthy to call you father, and then brutally killed my mother in front of my face."

Xun Yu paused, with a dark smile on his face, "The first time, I understood that my father only loved his Xun Jin, and he had no place for me in his eyes; the second time, I understood , I am not your son, nor is it a prince, I am the person you hate the most in this world; the third time, I understand, you are not my father, you will never be my father in this life, you are me of—killing mother and enemy.”

There was a bang, like hearing thunder.Looking at the smile at the corner of his mouth, the anticipation and hope in Xun Zhi's eyes were finally wiped out, and he just sat there like a sculpture.After a long time, he said quietly: "How do you want to give up?"

"Do you know what oath I made before my mother's spiritual seat?" Xun Yu bent down and leaned into his ear, "If this life doesn't crush you, I will never give up!"
