The minister raised His Majesty in a wrong way [Rebirth]

"What!" Gao Yu yelled in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Did by Ah Chen's sword!? Isn't the uncle teasing my nephew?"

"Has Yu'er ever seen the emperor joking?" Prince Jing's expression was cold, without a hint of a smile.

"No, but..." Gao Yu was flustered. He clenched his fists and tried to calm himself down. There is some misunderstanding..."

Prince Jing didn't answer, but just looked at Gao Yu quietly, with scrutiny and doubts.

Gao Yu was completely panicked now, and hurriedly asked: "No, no... Uncle Huang, have you asked Ah Chen, what did he say? Could it be just an accident?"

But what King Jing said next made Gao Yu's last luck come to naught: "Lou Zhijian admitted that he killed the man, but..."

"Just what?"

King Jing looked at Gao Yu, and said slowly: "It's just that he also explained to this king, saying that he killed that person because he had evil intentions and sneaked behind him to murder you, Yu'er."

"Mischievous intentions, sneak attack..." Gao Yu muttered a few words, then raised his voice and said firmly, "I believe in Ah Chen! Uncle Huang, at that time Ah Chen wanted to save people, so how could he turn to kill the people around the fourth brother?" Guard!? That's right, it must be that person's fault... Ah Chen is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"Uncle Huang, what you should investigate are those who let the tigers into the paddock. How can there be ferocious beasts in and out of the hunting area of ​​the royal paddock! Someone must have plots to murder the emperor's heir!"

"Uncle Huang, Ah Chen has never had any grudges with others in his daily life, and he will definitely not be the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately... Uncle Huang, trust him..."

……

Gao Yu panicked and kept explaining, trying to make Prince Jing believe him.

But no matter how he explained, how he defended Lou Chen, Prince Jing remained indifferent, neither believing nor disbelief, with no expression on his face.

"Yu'er, calm down!" He scolded angrily, "For a sword-wielding man, you are so flustered, how can you look like a prince!"

"But that person is Ah Chen. He is not only the sword wielder of the younger brother, but also a friend of my nephew. He saved my nephew's life. He is the person my nephew swore to repay him well. He is my nephew... Brother for life!" Gao Yu's voice was choked up, he was flustered, he was in a hurry, he ignored his injuries, he just grabbed the corner of Prince Jing's clothes tightly, "Uncle, you trust your nephew, Ah Chen and that guard are never the same Acquaintance, how could it be possible to casually take someone's life... There must be, there must be a reason..."

"Yu'er..." Seeing the panic-stricken appearance of his beloved nephew, Prince Jing was finally moved.

"Okay, don't panic." Prince Jing patted Gao Yu's head and comforted him, "Uncle Huang will investigate this matter thoroughly, and Lou Zhijian will not be wronged."

"Uncle Emperor..." Gao Yu raised his head with tears in his eyes, but he stubbornly endured it, refusing to let it fall, "Uncle Emperor, I beg you, nephew, I must, must find out the truth, and give Ah Chen a favor." justice."

Prince Jing silently, his nephew, who doesn't even know how to act like a baby, endures every time something happens, but now he bows his head to this point because of a sword.

Even if his heart is as cold and hard as Prince Jing's, he can't remain calm.

"Okay. Uncle Huang promises you. Take a good rest these few days." Knowing Gao Yu's temper, King Jing specially reminded him, "Don't go to Lou Zhijian for now."

"Uncle Emperor..." Gao Yu's eyelashes were filled with tears, but Prince Jing turned around and left the curtain without showing any mercy.

Although Gao Yu was flustered, he was very clear in his heart that there must be something hidden in the uncle's question - the death of the bodyguard in Tsing Yi was probably related to the murder of the Fourth Emperor.

If someone intentionally made a fuss about this, insisting that the death of the fourth brother was related to Lou Chen, or even slandering that Lou Chen killed the bodyguard in Tsing Yi in order to kill others, that would be bad.

Now that the fourth brother has passed away, there is no proof of death, if someone really wants to use this to drag him and Gao Xian into the water, I am afraid that it will not only be Lou Chen who will be in danger at that time.

Gao Yu looked at the back of Prince Jing leaving, and he clenched his fists for a long time.

After comforting Gao Yu, Prince Jing came to the imperial tent not far away.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Emperor Nanliang standing by the window holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand. Prince Jing remembered that it was the fourth prince's jade pendant, a gift from his elder brother on his birthday last year.

"How's the question?" A hoarse voice sounded, full of exhaustion, having lost his beloved son, the emperor who was still in his prime seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his brows and eyes were tired and lifeless .

He was waiting for an answer, yet afraid of an answer.

The person he was waiting for did not disappoint him. Prince Jing took two steps forward and stood at the Emperor of Nanliang, looking at his brother firmly: "It has nothing to do with Yu'er."

These five words seemed to be a key, unlocking the shackles in the emperor's heart, his frowning brows were finally relaxed, and his anxious mind was comforted—Gao Yu did not kill his brother, this was the only one since the accident happened. It's something to be comforted about.

Today's Holy One values ​​brotherhood the most, and the thing he fears most in his life is brotherhood, and he never wants his son to be in this situation.

Suo Xing's gloom did not disappoint him...

But even so, he was still heartbroken.What he lost was not only a son, but also the future prince of Nanliang, the heir to the throne he had protected for many years.

He has always noticed Gao Yan's efforts over the years, so after the Xie family incident, he regarded the fourth son as the only heir to the throne.

He has been cultivating and protecting Gao Yan with all his heart. He just wants to wait for Gao Yan to grow up and be able to take charge of himself, and then find a suitable opportunity to make him the prince.

But I don't want to have an accident, and all the efforts will come to naught.

No, this is by no means an accident...

The emperor was full of vicissitudes, but his heart was very clear: "I retreat every step of the way, but I don't want them to press every step of the way. Now it is even more frenzied, even Yan'er will not let go..."

The guards who arrived later found a shot cub in the forest, and there was a mark carved by the fourth prince on the arrow. It seemed that Gao Yan shot the cub, and the tiger who was eager to protect his son would go crazy and attack them .

All this seems to be a coincidence, but it is full of weirdness.

Just as Gao Yu asked, why did the tiger appear in the paddock, why did the fourth prince enter the woods, what happened in the woods, and why did the guard in blue die under Lou Chen's sword?

There must be someone pushing this, and this person...

"Brother Huang, although it's too late to say something now, I still want to tell Brother Huang." Prince Jing lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant in the emperor's hand, and said softly, "Brother Huang cares about family affection, but some people don't. Family affection is brother Huang's weakness, sometimes it's time to let it go..."

Family affection is his weakness...

Family affection, weakness...

Every word that Prince Jing said was harsh, but every sentence was heartbreaking.

The emperor closed his eyes tightly when he heard the words, thinking a lot in his heart.

While Gao Yu waited anxiously, he spent two days in a daze. During this time, many people came to visit, including the First Prince and the Third Prince.

The people who came here with the ceremony all wanted to ask some inside information, but they all left silently after seeing that Gao Yu was in low spirits and had no intention of talking to them at all.

Only Gao Xian was left, and he stuck to Gao Yu's side almost all day long, either talking with him or with him about the progress of the investigation of the fourth prince, but Gao Yu was most concerned about Lou Chen.

But for some reason, when he asked about Lou Chen several times, Gao Xian, who was always chattering non-stop, just pursed his lips, frowned, then laughed, and found other topics to perfunctory.

This kind of response made Gao Yu feel more and more uneasy. He knew that he should trust the emperor uncle and Gao Yu. They would never hand over Lou Chen to take the blame for the sake of peace.

But Gao Yu was still worried, he didn't know how to eat, and couldn't sleep at night, but he lost a lot of weight in two days, and the last trace of sensuality on his face disappeared. .

On the third day after the incident, the good news finally came.

"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor..."

Gao Yu was changing his dressing, but he heard a call from the door, and when he looked up, he saw Gao Xian running in in a panic.

"What's the matter?" He waved his hand to order the eunuch to retreat, and then asked with a frown, "But what's the news from Ah Chen?"

These days Lou Chen has been guarded alone, let alone a meeting with Gao Yu, it is difficult to pass a word of news, the only channel to know the progress is Gao Xian's mouth.

Gao Xian nodded vigorously when he heard the words, then carefully avoided the wound and leaned into Gao Yu's ear and said, "Brother Huang, Zhang Yan is awake!"

"Zhang Yan woke up!?" Gao Yu's eyes widened suddenly in surprise.

Zhang Yan, the second son of Uncle Jingyang, was personally chosen by the Fourth Prince to hold the sword.

That day the four princes went hunting in the grove, and all the guards they brought with them died except Zhang Yan, and the only one who survived was also seriously injured, Zhang Yan was bitten by a wild beast in the chaos and has been comatose ever since.

It was only later that Gao Yu found out that the fourth younger brother brought several family members to hunt together that day, and the attendant in Tsing Yi who died under Lou Chen's sword was one of them.

That man's name is Jiang Yuyan, he is the legitimate son of the governor of Taizhou, and he is good at riding and shooting.This time as a second-class bodyguard, he just wanted to earn face in front of the fourth prince and make contributions.

And it just so happened that it was the one who spoke ill of Lou Chen behind his back in the stable that day.

Gao Yuben thought that after leaving the palace, there would be opportunities to deal with that person, but he didn't think that such an accident had happened before he found the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Zhang Yan actually woke up, so there is hope for Ah Chen.The place where Zhang Yan was found was not far from the open space where they fought with the tiger. If he was still somewhat conscious at the time, maybe his words could clear Lou Chen's innocence...

Gao Yu was suddenly overjoyed and excited.

Before the funnyness reached his eyes, Gao Yu pressed down the corners of his mouth that had just turned up.

No, since Zhang Yan woke up, those who secretly wanted to harm him must know about it, he can't sit still!

Gao Yu got off the bed, ignored Gao Xian's obstruction, only put on a thin coat, and hurried towards King Jing's curtain.

Gao Yu hurried forward, but unexpectedly, he was stopped at the door.

"Brother Huang, why didn't you wait for me!"

"Isn't that just right for you?"

He replied to Gao Xian who had just caught up with him. Gao Yu was about to pass on the word, but a voice came from inside: "Come in, don't make trouble at the door."

Gao Yu's heart trembled, if he heard the voice correctly...

Shaking his head at Gao Xian, he signaled him to keep his tongue shut for a while before leading the people in.

Entering the curtain, the atmosphere was so dull that Gao Yu felt oppressed, but the source of this pressure was none other than the stern-faced person behind the desk table—his father.

"My child sees the emperor." Gao Yu bowed and saluted, his eyes were lowered and stared at the ground, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face.

But the emperor seemed to have expected it long ago. After waiving their gift, he only looked straight at Gao Yu, and said in a low voice, "Yu'er is here this time, to inquire about Zhang Yan's affairs..."

Seen through at a glance, Gao Yu nodded embarrassedly: "Father Huang Mingjian, my son heard that Zhang Yan woke up, so I came here to inquire about it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at King Jing who was standing aside, and said in an almost pleading voice: "Did the emperor ask Zhang Zhijian about it? Did he see what happened that day? Ah... Why on earth did Lou Zhijian kill the guard in blue?" ?”

A series of questions represented Gao Yu's anxious mood. As he asked, he clenched his fists and looked at Prince Jing expectantly.

But King Jing's next words made Gao Yu's heart fall into a boundless hell.

"Zhang Zhijian is already awake, and this king has already asked him about what happened the day before yesterday, but his testimony is exactly the opposite of Lou Zhijian's." King Jing turned his head, stared at Gao Yu with sharp eagle eyes, and said after a while, " He said that Lou Zhijian could have saved the fourth prince that day, but he never made a move until the fourth prince was attacked and killed by a fierce tiger. He killed Jiang Shiwei just to silence him, fearing that Jiang guard would reveal his crime if he survived. "

Prince Jing's voice was not loud, but every word was like a drum hammer, hitting Gao Yu's heart.

At the beginning, he could still restrain his emotions, but after hearing the last sentence, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and yelled out, "He lied, the emperor lied! "

"When my nephew entered the woods, Lou Zhijian obviously protected his fourth brother behind him. Lou Zhijian didn't leave him alone, let alone kill him to keep his mouth shut!" Gao Yu's voice trembled, "It's obviously him In order to get rid of the crime, I want to put the blame on Lou Zhijian. If it is true as he said, Lou Zhijian should not have killed him, how could he have left his life to this day!"

"Father, my son believes that Lou Zhijian is innocent, please be careful and don't blame Zhongliang!"

He had expected that those people might use Lou Chen as a breakthrough, but he didn't expect those people to have such vicious thoughts.If Lou Chen is really like what Zhang Yan said, he will be charged with murdering the prince. Not only Lou Chen will be punished, but Gao Xian will also be implicated.

Moreover, he was the one who appeared in the woods with Lou Chen that day. If the emperor really believed Zhang Yan's words and convicted Lou Chen, the consequences would be disastrous.

After Gao Yu finished speaking, he bowed his head and knelt down on the ground, his body trembling.

Gao Yu bowed his head on the ground, so he didn't see the people behind Jing Dynasty take a look at the table, and he didn't see the corners of his father's mouth slightly upturned, showing satisfaction in his eyes.

After a long time, just when Gao Yu thought that his father didn't believe his words and was extremely disappointed in him, a question came from behind the table: "Yu'er, do you know who is in charge of this hunting guard?"

Gao Yu was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know why his father suddenly asked such a question, he still answered honestly: "Return to father, he is the commander of the deputy capital, Mr. Nian."

The emperor continued to ask: "Then do you know who the commander is this year?"

"Baby..." Gao Yu thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he could only look at the high-ranking emperor dully.

But the emperor only smiled faintly: "It's the son-in-law of Duke Xie's younger brother..."

There was a loud bang in Gao Yu's heart, and the boulder in his heart was shattered, as if enlightened, he suddenly understood the meaning of his father's words.

Three birds with one stone, this is the purpose of the group of people who want to harm behind the scenes.

Seeing that Gao Yu's expression changed from bewilderment to sobriety, and his eyes became clear gradually, with a trace of coldness, the emperor finally sighed softly.

After a long time, he asked softly: "Yu'er, now you know who killed your fourth brother, and who killed Guard Jiang?"

Gao Yu stared at Prince Jing in astonishment, and after a long time slowly said: "No one wanted to murder the fourth brother, it was just an accident... Lou Zhijian didn't kill anyone, the guard Jiang was trying to protect the fourth brother, he was attacked and killed by a tiger. "

"Okay, very good." Emperor Nanliang looked at his beloved son, feeling seven-pointed relieved and three-pointed disappointed.

The emperor stepped down from the high position, helped Gao Yu up, and looked at the young man in front of him fixedly.

He loved Gao Yu, but he never thought of handing over the throne to Gao Yu. In his eyes, Gao Yu should be the same kind of person as him, and he should be exiled in the mountains, not bound by this world, but he didn't want to go around. Turn, in the end, Gao Yu is the most suitable person for the throne among the princes.

He values ​​friendship, but he also has a ruthlessness that he doesn't have. He can protect his hands and feet behind his back without fear of tigers, and he can kill decisively, and a strong man can cut his wrists.

It's useless to think about it.

Forget it, he has been called a "yongjun" for so many years anyway, so let him be stupid again.

Gao Yu didn't blink his eyes, and when he looked back, he understood the meaning of his father's eyes.

If you want to get something, you have to lose it, and only by losing it can you protect what you want to protect.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no hesitation, no panic, only fearless firmness left.

Some things, once he has decided, he will not waver again, what he has must be his, and what he wants must not be coveted by others.

"Father." Gao Yu said coldly: "Since the other guards have died, what's the use of keeping someone like Zhang Yan who betrayed his master to survive?"

His tone was calm, as if he was just sighing, the weather today is good, and he made a decision of life and death in an instant, but he was so calm and breezy.

Only the dead will not leak the news. He is not cold-blooded and ruthless, he just wants to protect the people he wants to protect.

The Emperor of Nanliang looked at Gao Yu, whose eyes were so cold that he looked like an emperor, and nodded lightly: "Just do as you say."

"And the group of guards who searched that day, did they see something they shouldn't see?"

"Don't worry." Prince Jing Bolan said calmly, "Yu Zhijian didn't arrive at the garrison that day, but ran into Xian'er on the way. The guards who followed you and Xian'er during the hunt were all this king. The subordinates, what happened in the forest, no outsiders will know."

"Brother Wang..." Gao Yu turned his head to look at Gao Xian, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Gao Xian immediately lowered his head, feeling ashamed: "Brother, forgive me, it was my father who didn't want Xian'er to say it...Xian'er also..."

Gao Yu: "..."

Forget it, even at this point, it's useless to worry about those trivial details, but there is one thing he has to do.

"Uncle Emperor." Gao Yu turned his head to look at King Jing, his eyes became no longer cold because of thinking of that person, "There is one more thing, my nephew wants to trouble you."

Prince Jing looked at Gao Yu who seemed to have grown up suddenly, and his heart was very complicated: "But it's okay to say."

"Uncle Huang, take Lou Zhijian away..."

The author has something to say: Gao Yu: Please help, the person I love only likes me who is cute and cute, and doesn't like me who plays with people's hearts and power, what should I do! #Quite urgent, waiting online#

Gao Xian: Brother Huang, do you still need to beg others? Aren’t you good at acting? You have deceived Ah Chen in your previous life, thinking that you don’t like Ah Chen, but in the end, tsk tsk tsk, why did our Gao family get into trouble with you and your father? Two lovers! ! !

Gao Yu: It's better than a coward like you...

Lou Chen: What did you lie to me?

Gao Yu: Ah Chen~·~·~ I don’t have anything, I just say I love you so much~ I want to hug you~~~

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------

The author of the explosive update raised his chin proudly. He does not accept criticism or send blades. He only accepts praise. Come and praise me quickly, hum~

Let me tell you, growing up is a very cruel thing. I will miss Gao Yu when I was a cute bun in the future. I still don’t believe it...

Now it's all right, the buns have turned into glutinous rice balls, and they are all black when cut.

Gao Yu: I'm still white and tender on the outside!
