A few days later, at the court meeting, Situ Yue was wearing a thick dragon robe and sitting on the throne. The ministers underground looked at each other, and one of them came out, holding a memorial, and weeping.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, many untrue things happened during the Nanyuan banquet, please investigate thoroughly."

"Which one is the untruth? I was at the banquet at the time, neither drunk nor asleep, but I heard it myself. The king of the south had an affair with Java, and the letter fell into the hands of the king of the north. In order to coerce Nanwang to steal the secret of Shenhuo Feiyao, many people knew about it at the time, and more than half of you present are standing in the court today, so how can you say it is untrue."

"Your Majesty, it's too strange at this time. The secret matter should be known by the King of the South and the King of the North. Why did the children in the family make a noise..."

"Master Xu," a spokesman came out, "Master Xu, the two heirs who rebelled against the king have already been crowned, and they can no longer say that they are young or talk about children."

"Leave this matter aside,..."

"Aiqing, Aiqing, I don't want to believe it. I sat in Nanyuan for a whole night, and I couldn't figure out why they did this. They are vassal kings, and now they are considered under me. Wait Why do you still have contacts with foreign countries? I have left this matter to the crown prince, right and wrong, after the interrogation is clear, I will make a clear decision."

The people below all shut their mouths.

"What I'm talking about below is a major event, which concerns my future safety in the next hundred years. I'm now thirty-six, and I have a son named Fu Hong after my knees. As for me, now, I don't want to add to the harem anymore. After all, my son is born. Slowly It will take decades to raise him, and I am now middle-aged, and I don’t know if I have time to raise a monarch. The prince, as you all know, has eye disease and can’t see things, so, I follow the example of a person and set the rules for establishing a secret reserve."

A guard carried a bronze box and brought up a stone pot of copper water.

"I am willing to abdicate in my later years like the emperor. If I abdicate, this edict will be discarded. If I suddenly collapse, you will open the bronze box. There is an imperial edict written by myself today on it, designated by the imperial edict. Man is the emperor. I am here to say that Situ Chengyue, Situ Fuhong, and Situ Fuyuan, the throne is one of them, and the others are all wishful thinking."

The guards poured copper water on the box, and under everyone's watchful eyes, put the box on the beam of the Chongzheng Hall with a ladder, and Situ Yue could see it when he looked up.The beams were covered with traps, and two guards poured into the main hall.

The ministers did not expect it. After all, the matter of establishing a reserve was extremely solemn. Many people felt that it was too hasty to propose and do this matter.

"emperor......"

"Let's retreat." Situ Yue stood up and left directly.

"This matter is unclear. Anyway, they say that the two princes are not good things." A caravan clerk was holding a jujube steamed bun and eating vigorously. Chen Liu swallowed hard, which provoked the clerk I ate more vigorously, and clicked my mouth a few times.

Fuyuan is not interested in eating, "Is it easy to enter the capital now?"

"It's easy, follow us, and keep the city you can enter." The man ate more happily.

Dew began to condense at night, and Fuyuan folded his arms and huddled with the transporting animals.Looking up at the stars in the sky, Chen Liu stared at him for a while and asked him, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I'm thinking about things in the capital. I still remember that the eldest son of the Northern King's Mansion, at that time, he was good at studying, but he looked down on our brother, my second brother, and now he can't even read a single article. At that time, I suffered a lot from being dumb. What's the use of reading more books now."

"I can't say that, it's better to study. If I could study at that time, I would go to study, didn't I say? Everything is inferior, but reading is high." Chen Liu shook his head, very similar to those masters in private schools.

"Reading is to be sensible, and it cannot be used as a means of fame. I understand this sentence. No wonder my uncle looks down on those scholars, and I understand it too."

Chen Liu wanted to speak again, and the surrounding animals stood up anxiously and stamped their hooves on the spot. "Hey, something went wrong, a large group of people came here. It's so late and we're on our way."

"Let's hide first." After Fuyuan finished speaking, he ran into the darkness.

"Wow" a group of riders stopped, the light of the torches illuminated the place, and the head of the caravan hurried out, "Masters, gentlemen, we are a small business, and we are innocent people. We haven't done anything. What a disgraceful thing."

The cavalry lined up, and one person came out slowly reining in his horse. Fuyuan immediately opened his eyes wide, "It's my uncle, my eldest uncle."

"I'm looking for someone, wait for them all to come out."

Fuyuan immediately came out from the darkness, he was so excited, all kinds of ups and downs were intertwined in his heart, he strode out, even if the stones under his feet hurt his feet, he couldn't stop his mood at the moment.He didn't pay attention, Chen Liu quietly took a few steps back, completely hiding in the darkness.

"Uncle, it's me, it's me, uncle."

The nephew and uncle immediately hugged each other and cried, and the uncle touched Fuyuan's head over and over again, looking at his dirty face and fluffy hair under the torch, and the scars on his bare upper body.Distressed tears fell a lot.

"How did it become like this? When His Majesty and His Royal Highness ordered the ministers to pick up the son, they also said to go back as soon as possible, and don't let the minister let you play along the way. Who knew that the son had suffered so much along the way... ...."

"Fortunately, Uncle, there is a beggar accompanying me, Brother Six..." Fu Yuan turned around, and there was no one behind him, he shouted "Brother Six."

Still no one answered.

Putting on his uncle's cloak, Fuyuan stood blankly for a while, "Let's go back, Uncle, the sooner the better. I have something to tell Uncle Huang."

Fuyuan returned to the palace again, looked at the Chongzheng Hall from afar, not crying with joy, some were also the kind of majesty and strangeness that he didn't feel before.The setting sun fell on the roof of the Chongzheng Hall, and there were birds on it. The lights on the Chongzheng Hall were brilliant, and the changing guards could be seen from a distance. His uncle pushed him behind him, and he staggered a few times. Only then can I find myself.

Zhu Dan ran over from a distance, "Big brother, where are you going? Did you also meet a group of black-clothed villains who wanted to arrest you?"

Fuyuan stroked his sky braid, "Yes, but he was rescued later."

Zhu Dan was very excited, "Really? Me too. I was rescued by a man with high martial arts. He took me to find my father. Who saved the big brother, did he come back with you? Uncle Do you want to give him money too?"

Fu Yuan picked up Zhu Dan, ignored his chatter, and strode into Situ Yue's bedroom.

He kowtowed to Situ Yue and Cheng Yue upright, without mentioning the grievances of the past few days, and lowered his head to look at the patterns on the floor.Chengyue put down the cup, "Fuyuan, come here." He touched his son up and down, relieved, "You child, why don't you send a message to Beijing, you have an uncle in Chang'an..."

"I'm afraid I've already had a second heart." Fuyuan continued the topic, turning his head to Situ Yue, "Uncle, when my nephew went to look for him, I saw the guards of the North Mansion and the staff of the West Mansion. And, that group of people went all the way west. "

"It seems that this matter is getting more and more involved. Come on"

A guard knelt on the ground. "Keep an eye on the people in the prison. Don't take it lightly."

Situ Yue said to Fu Yuan. "You're back too. Tomorrow, you'll follow the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to observe the trial. No, don't go anywhere. You go to the North Prince's Mansion with your father. I want you to find something."

"Evidence of the Northern King's treason?" Fu Yuan took a few steps on his knees and asked Situ Yue in a low voice.

"No, it doesn't matter if you have it or not. What I want you to find is evidence that your grandfather died at the hands of the King of the North."

Cheng Yue and his son gasped, "Brother, how did you know?"

"I deduce that my father has done many things in his life, but if he doesn't do one thing, people will hate him. Because he is the prince, he is the eldest son, and he is the grandfather's son. For this matter, There are clans involved, and vassals are going through the needles, otherwise, the death of a crown prince would have been an unsolved case for so many years."

"Nephew accepts the order."

"Go, go and meet the emperor and your younger brothers and sisters, they also miss you." Cheng Yue dismissed Fu Yuan and Zhu Dan, then turned to Situ Yue and said, "Any evidence can be fabricated, so why bother, brother? Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we may not necessarily find evidence, but if we do..."

"Facts are facts. I can fabricate facts, but I must have facts in my heart. Chengyue, the death of my father is my obsession, and it is the beginning of my becoming like this. If my father is not dead, I would say It may not be like an ordinary person, making arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it doesn't have to be like this." Situ Yue looked at the empty hall, and the painted paintings on it seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, "I like the present life, but it doesn't mean that I haven't dreamed of other people in the past. I don’t want to live an ordinary life, but I don’t necessarily want to live my life in this way.”

"I want to end this obsession, just like I want to quickly choose the next heir to the throne. I always feel that my days are numbered."

Cheng Yue grabbed Situ Yue's hand all of a sudden, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"The secret medicine I drank back then has finally gone wrong. My internal organs are burning like fire every night. Maybe, I will go to find my father soon."
