miscalculation

Xiao Liang knelt on the ground and said: "My son misses my elder brother. I violated my father's order. I am really guilty. I hope my father will punish me."

"Brother? Father's order? You are smart. You don't mention the king of Yue or the emperor's order. Instead, you rely on brotherhood. If I really blame it, wouldn't it be justified? But the king's destiny is greater than the sky, even brotherhood is no exception. , the royal family cannot be favoritism. Feng Mian, do you understand this truth?"

When Xiao Liang heard him calling Feng Mian, he knew that his father was no longer angry, so he replied: "What my father said is that the state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. This time it is my son who made a mistake, so I ask my father to punish me. "

Xiao Yi stepped forward to help him up, the father and son sat on the side, he looked at Xiao Liang.The child was weak since he was a child, and he couldn't rest well after he recovered, and he was always frowning.Unexpectedly, the trip to Lizhou and Dian Kingdom made him more radiant.

Xiao Yi said: "I punished you for three months before, how do I punish you now? Could it be another three months? The imperial doctor said that you are weak, and you should have walked around more. It doesn't look like that. Even if my prince is a sluggish Phoenix, he can't be like a lady from a big family, staying in the mansion every day."

Xiao Liang pulled the corner of his clothes, wanted to act like a baby but felt embarrassed, after all, he was not young, so he withdrew his hand again.He just defended: "Why are you lazy and lying on the bed? When did my son become so lax, the father wronged me!"

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Back then, all of you brothers had chosen a nickname, but you are talking about why you called yourself Fengmian? Although the phoenix is ​​auspicious, it is not a good thing to fall asleep."

Xiao Liang blinked his eyes and said, "Since father doesn't like it, why did he allow the nickname Erchen?"

Xiao Yi said: "When you were young, you were weak. What should I say about you? Your mother and concubine will be sad and wronged again. This will make you unhappy even with your little thoughts. What if you are not happy and aggravate your condition? Where is your father?" Dare to say a word?"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Liang lovingly. Speaking of which, this was his youngest child, and he was also the weakest.He couldn't remember how many times he was afraid that the child would die early, but he didn't expect that Mingda would really survive and grow up.Now that the Dian Kingdom is pacified, Xiao Liang has gained a great reputation in the ruling and opposition parties.Although Xiao Jue is the crown prince, his military achievements are no match for Xiao Cheng's, and he is somewhat paranoid internally. He is either too straightforward or a little sloppy in his actions, which makes the courtiers somewhat dissatisfied.

Xiao Liang saw that Xiao Yi was in a daze, and he didn't dare to interrupt. He glanced outside and saw that Yun Zhao hadn't come back yet, so he was worried.After he left the prison just now, he felt something was wrong halfway, so he asked Yun Zhao to go back again.It stands to reason that he should come back soon, but until now there has been no movement.

Xiao Yi came back to his senses and asked: "By the way, I came here this time to ask you something. Then Qin Xin was captured at the border, why was he able to escape? You didn't give me an explanation last time , today we must explain the whole story.”

Xiao Liang said: "At that time, my son felt that with his own strength, it was absolutely impossible to take out all the financial resources of Tongji Bank and hand it over to the second brother. As the prince, the second brother was watched by the courtiers every move, so he mobilized others. It is not appropriate for people to withdraw money. So I think that Qin Xin has other people to help, and he is probably in the army."

Xiao Yi regained his energy immediately, and said, "You mean, you wanted to lure that person out?"

Xiao Liang nodded, and said rather dejectedly: "It's a pity that Erchen still missed the move and failed to attract that person. Instead, Qin Xin found a chance to escape."

Xiao Yi smiled and comforted him: "After all, your experience is still inexperienced, so it is understandable. In this way, Father has wrongly blamed you."

Xiao Liang was taken aback, he knew that his father must know that there are other people behind Qin Xin, and he was afraid that he, like his elder brother, thought he was manipulating everything and plotting against his elder brother and second elder brother.

Xiao Yi said: "Decree, starting from tomorrow, King Qin's foot ban will be lifted. The case of Xiao Qian and Qin Xin will be jointly heard by King Qin and Dali Temple."

Xiao Liang immediately stood up and said, "Father, this matter is inappropriate..."

Xiao Yi asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Liang said: "My son has never been involved in government affairs. You want me to handle such a big case, it's really a bit reluctant."

Xiao Yi said: "Do you know how much pressure I had to withstand when I sent you to the Dian Kingdom? The reason why I believed you was because I knew that your child valued love and had a deep relationship with Cheng'er, and I would definitely protect him. Now, if you want to preside over this case, I believe that you will judge fairly and find a way out for Ban Lin."

Hearing this, Xiao Liang said, "Royal father, you really do cherish elder brother!"

Xiao Yi smiled wryly: "Although I am a king, there are times when I can't help myself. If I can, I really want to be like an ordinary family, with children and grandchildren around my knees, with wild clouds and wild cranes. Unavoidable helplessness. Overturning the clouds and rain, but can’t escape the snare of heaven and earth, the game of fortune. I can’t remember how many times, I can only watch, those people who care about die before my eyes.”

Xiao Liang said: "Father, my son will definitely do his best to handle this errand well."

Xiao Yi nodded, then took his leave and left Qin Wang/Mansion.He was not in a hurry to go back to the palace, but he just wanted to wander around the capital, which scared a group of people into fear.

Zhang Leshi followed behind and persuaded: "Your Majesty, you were assassinated not long ago, it is really not appropriate to leave the palace for too long, you should go back earlier, and don't stay in these teahouses and taverns anymore."

Xiao Yi said: "I'll just go to Huichun Pavilion to sit down, and it won't delay my return to the palace. Isn't it enough to punish me to kneel last time? How about kneeling for a few more hours when I go back?"

Eunuch Zhang had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to persuade him any more, so he could only respond, escorted by someone, and headed towards Huichun Pavilion.This Huichun Pavilion was Xiao Yi's favorite restaurant before and after he ascended the throne.But then I don't know what happened, and I never came back.Several times I went privately in microservices, but I deliberately avoided this place.

There are five floors in Huichun Pavilion, ordinary people can only go to the third floor, the fourth floor is almost only for dignitaries, and the fifth floor has been thankful for many years.Xiao Yi went up to the fifth floor as soon as he arrived, but the shopkeeper didn't say a word, just stayed aside obediently.

The waiter approached and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, what is the origin of that man just now, to be able to go up to the fifth floor?"

The shopkeeper whispered, "Our boss."

The waiter asked, "Huh? We still have a boss?"

The shopkeeper thumped him, and then said: "What stupid things did you say, of course you have an owner. Don't say that again, if you hear that we don't have an owner, you will be beheaded."

The shop waiter was too afraid to speak, so he hurried to work.The shopkeeper winked, fearing that there might be something wrong with the group of guards who are extra careful about the people in the restaurant.

Xiao Yi looked around on the fifth floor, looked at the old inscriptions on the wall, and saw that the surrounding area was clean, knowing that someone was cleaning it every day, so he felt relieved.He stood in front of the window on the fifth floor, recalling the past, as if he was still the prince, and his brother was still lying on this bed, looking at him.

As he thought about it, a young man suddenly popped into his mind. He had the same face, but it was full of stubbornness and unyielding. He was not at all gentle and respectful like the emperor's brother.At that time, how could he see two people wrong?

He lowered his head, and suddenly saw a man wearing a bamboo hat standing in the distance downstairs.Although he couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure was very familiar. He hurried downstairs, and everyone followed after him in shock.

The place just now was already empty, Xiao Yi stood there feeling lost.The guards behind him had already dismissed the idlers on the street, leaving half the street empty.

Xiao Yi stood there for a while, and said, "Stand back, let me stand here for a while."

Eunuch Zhang saw the clue, so he didn't dare to say any more, but asked people to follow suit.He knew that to disturb the Holy Majesty at this time would be courting death, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Xiao Yi closed his eyes, felt the breeze blowing past his face, and murmured: "This wind has made money. It has made me feel so frivolous. It's a pity that I am a respectable nine-five-year-old, and I can't even compare with the wind." gone."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked back step by step.At this moment, a figure flew out and came straight to him with a sword in his hand.The guards were all far away, and there was only one sound of escort, but it was too late.In the midst of the flashes, suddenly a person wearing a bamboo hat jumped out from the side, fighting with the figure, but fell to the ground invincible.

Everyone stepped forward one after another, but they saw Xiao Yi yelling: "Go back to the palace immediately, call the imperial physician urgently!"

This figure was originally ordered by him in advance, and the Ouchi guards who were ambushing here deliberately pretended to assassinate him, just to attract Wuzhi.As he expected, Wuzhi was indeed near Huichun Building.But what he didn't expect was that Wuzhi's condition had deteriorated to such an extent that he couldn't use martial arts recklessly. Now he was exhausted to protect the driver, and his face was pale.Xiao Yi looked at him, feeling angry and regretful, suddenly at a loss what to do.
