segregation

Prime Minister Ling Tingqi frowned and listened carefully to Eunuch Chen's secret report, waved his hands to order his servants to reward Eunuch Chen, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "This second prince is really unrelenting, it seems that he will not give up if he doesn't hit the south wall. Don't worry. Isn't it good for a prince to be rich and prosperous?"

"Father, let's take this opportunity..."

Ling Tingqi smiled and shook his head: "No, we want to intercede for him."

Seeing his son's puzzled face, Ling Tingqi's smile deepened: "The emperor loves the second prince, even if he makes a huge mistake, the emperor will not really put him to death. The emperor is waiting for someone to intercede for the second prince. Give him a step down~ Kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, even the emperor's favorite son fell twice in the main battle, so no one will oppose us."

"To be able to say such rebellious words, Xie is really bold and straightforward..." Hearing what his confidant said, Mo Yu smiled with relief, "Forget it, my younger brother has been weak since he was a child. If you don’t want to beat him to death, I’ll go and persuade my father.”

In the end, the second prince, Mo Xi, was still beaten with fifty sticks, but as a dragon son, the executioner didn't hit hard. After fifty sticks, Mo Xi was already unconscious, and he was beaten. He was carried back to the sky prison with blood and blood and locked up, and no one was allowed to visit.

Naturally, the impoverished prince would not be much better off, it was the prince and the prime minister who asked the imperial physician to heal the wound, otherwise Mo Xi would have put his life on the line.

When Mo Xi saw his father again, he had a high fever. He woke up from a coma in a daze. He dreamed that when he was a child, his father had a kind face and praised the article he wrote.Mo Xi opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the worry in his father's eyes, and then Emperor Zhou Jing turned his back, and said in a serious tone, "Xi'er, do you know your mistake?"

But Mo Xi gently opened his thin lips, and his voice was weak but firm: "No, my son is not wrong."

"You don't know what's wrong!"

"My son is right!"

Zhou Di was so angry that he walked away, walked to the door, and couldn't help turning his head and said: "Xi'er, your temper will hurt you."

After this incident, the main combat faction in the court did not fall silent, but intensified, with constant memorials, impeachment of Ling Tingqi, and defense of Mo Xi, and there was no peace for a moment.

Finally, one day, Emperor Zhou Jing issued an edict in favor of the main combat faction, preparing military horses, levying military service, and demoting the prime minister to a first class because of a trivial matter, and staying in the post for inspection.At the same time, the title of second prince was restored and official positions were conferred.

Feeling that his status was threatened, Ling Tingqi, the Prime Minister of Power, contacted the prince privately, intending to plot against him.Listening to Ling Tingqi's reasoning, seeing that Mo Xi is not looking for fun all day long, but actively paying attention to state affairs, and the poems he writes are no longer about the joy of living in seclusion, the beauty of mountains and rivers, but the magnificence of the country, the feelings of family and country, Mo Xi Yu made a wrong decision.

The crown prince was bewitched by the prime minister, and rebellion was a death penalty. Emperor Jing gave the crown prince death with dove wine in order to preserve the father-son relationship and preserve his name after death.The death of the crown prince threw Ling Tingqi into disarray, his plan was revealed, and the three clans were punished.

In the 22nd year of Chengshan, Prince Yu died.In the same year, Prime Minister Ling Tingqi intended to rebel, and according to the law, he was supposed to punish the nine clans. However, the emperor's kindness was great, and the three clans were punished. The family property was confiscated, and the descendants were not allowed to be officials.

In the 23rd year of Chengshan, the prince was analyzed as the prince.Emperor Jing once refused to make him the prince because of his frailty, because someone said that the second prince had already won the hearts of the people, and if he was not made the prince, he should be removed in the future.Emperor Jing couldn't bear it.

In the 27th year of Chengshan, Emperor Jing died, and the crown prince Mo Xi ascended the throne. He was renamed Chenxing and the emperor was named "Jing".

—— "History of Zhou"

In fact, Emperor Zhou Jing went to see Mo Xi in prison that day. Mo Xi had a high fever, his haggard face became thinner, and he fell into a coma.All the voices in the court were pleading for him, but in fact, Emperor Zhou Jing himself felt distressed.

"Xi'er, you are the one who understands me best...Xi'er, you have suffered."
