Crossing the East Palace

Sure enough, as Tang Luojin expected, the ministers went crazy from the beginning of the morning.

Yesterday Emperor Tianyuan dealt with the second prince, and did not notify anyone at all, but let the eunuchs around him do it directly, pressing the second prince to choose the same thing from poisonous wine and white silk, and committing suicide, the second prince just died At that time, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was furious, and no one dared to spread the news outside. Then someone carried the second prince's body back to the second prince's palace, and told the second prince's wife and children that it was the emperor's will. Only then did the ministers react.

The emperor kills his son!

Even if an ordinary father kills his son, it is enough for the people to talk about it, let alone the emperor killed his son?Or kill the eldest second prince?

It's just that yesterday when everyone hurriedly changed their clothes and was about to enter the palace, the guards guarding the palace gate told them directly that the emperor will not see anyone today.No matter which minister or relative of the emperor, the emperor can't see it, the queen mother can't see it, let alone all the concubines.

So yesterday, everyone was stopped outside the imperial city.

"Your Majesty has always put benevolence and righteousness first. Even if the Second Prince made a big mistake, His Majesty can imprison him or relegate him, but he should never have done so. The Second Prince was dealt with in such a silent manner! If you don't eat your sons, your Majesty is like this, how can you not let the common people feel cold? Let my courtiers feel cold?"

"Lord Liu is wrong. The so-called prince made a mistake and committed the same crime as the common people. The second prince has done something wrong, secretly raised dead soldiers for ten years, and joined forces with his mother's family to attack the prince in an attempt to kill the prince. Under such a big mistake, it is If he is dead, so what? But, even if His Majesty lets him die, he should order his courtiers to interrogate the Second Prince carefully, and then execute him."

"Your Majesty shouldn't..."

"If you make a mistake, you should be punished. Your Majesty is like this. He treats everyone equally. If you don't like it, it's all right. How can you blame His Majesty..."

……

All of a sudden, everyone was arguing.

According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, there are not too many officials who can go to the court every day, but even if there are not many, dozens of people stand up and quarrel in the hall, and a few will roll up their sleeves to fight, which seems quite lively .

It's just that there are many people arguing, and there are also many people who are quiet and silent.

They are not stupid, how much the emperor cares about his son, after so many years, haven't they seen it?Although the emperor was eccentric, even if he was eccentric, the emperor had plans for the emperor.And these plans seem to be for the long-term future of the other sons.

An emperor who loves his son so much has just personally ordered the second prince to kill himself, not to mention what other people think, but those who have a little calculation in their hearts know that the emperor must be very sad now!

And to quarrel or even roll up one's sleeves in front of such a sad emperor, isn't that something only stupid people can do?

If you are really stupid, why don't you take a look at the prince on the emperor's right hand?In this situation, the crown prince didn't say a word, but they were arguing a lot. It's really... It's desperate.

Those who bowed their heads and said nothing were thinking about this in their hearts, when they saw Emperor Tianyuan suddenly overturn the table in front of him.

The teapots, teacups and vases on the table fell to the ground one by one, making harsh noises. Those who were arguing about the killing of Emperor Tianyuan's son immediately froze. He fell on the ground and remained silent.

Emperor Tianyuan stood up and walked in front of everyone.

Everyone trembled.

Especially the few who were the most noisy, their bodies trembled slightly.

Could it be that they could forcibly bear the aura of the emperor?

Emperor Tianyuan walked a few steps slowly, did not mention the quarrel between the crowd just now, but said coldly: "Fang Cai, who moved his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and lost his dignity in front of the imperial court?"

Even though there was no monitoring, all the courtiers were extremely convinced and afraid of Emperor Tianyuan. They didn't hesitate for a moment when they heard the words. Those who rolled up their sleeves and wanted to do something or didn't do it immediately knelt down and said in unison: "I know I'm wrong!" !"

Emperor Tianyuan said: "Know your mistake? Then if you know it this time, can you remember it next time? It's better to put a few boards on it, so that all the lovers can remember this mistake seriously, and never do anything wrong in front of the imperial court again. "

How many people can do?

Although in the early courts before, it was not uncommon for people to quarrel endlessly, the quarrel could not come to a conclusion, and the matter of impulsively rolling up their sleeves, as long as it was not too much, and there was no blood, Emperor Tianyuan always reprimanded a few words, Then the annual salary is fine.

But unexpectedly, this time, although Emperor Tianyuan didn't reprimand them, he was annoyed in his heart.

"The minister is guilty and should be punished."

The hearts of several people finally opened up, and they all said loudly.

——Emperor Tianyuan condemned them for the crime of disrespect in front of the emperor, how could they not admit it?

"Ten sticks each, take them down." Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand, and the guards came forward, asking several adults to go down to be punished.

As for the others, Emperor Tianyuan didn't even look at them, but sat at the rearranged table and said, "Is there anything else for Zhuqing's family today?"

This is what Emperor Tianyuan meant when he didn't want to continue today's early court, so everyone, hurry up and talk about things if you have something to do, and step back if you have nothing to do.

Many people immediately hid the memorial on their cuffs.

But Tang Luojin stood up and handed over the son: "Although the second brother is at fault, his children are not. My son begged the father to lower the title left by the second brother according to the system, and give it to the second emperor with the king's title." The eldest son of the elder brother. The daughter of the second emperor's elder brother should also receive the title of princess."

Prime Minister Li is getting older, hearing the prince like this, he moved his eyelids a little - the prince is now more able to understand the holy will.In this way, it's no wonder the Holy Majesty likes him so much.

Emperor Tianyuan was silent for a while, and finally said: "Since you have this heart, you will personally declare the decree on my behalf. However, even if the children have no faults, they must not be ignorant of the mistakes their father made. Tell the second prince and concubine, As long as I am in power, neither their mother nor their son can step into the imperial palace!"

Tang Luojin bowed and said, "My son receives the order."

With the crown prince's request, the Holy Majesty's anger was obviously reduced a bit, and many courtiers who really had something to report, after some hesitation, still handed out the papers.

After the morning court, Tang Luojin followed Emperor Tianyuan to receive the imperial decree, and was about to go to the second prince's palace.

Emperor Tianyuan said: "Xiao Qi wait a moment."

Tang Luojin stopped.

Emperor Tianyuan pressed his forehead, and said: "Forget it, you go. I'm fine."

Tang Luojin pursed her lips and said, "Second Emperor's Sister-in-Law has always been virtuous, knowledgeable and sensible, and her nephew and niece are also smart. Now that she has the title of title and princess, she will have a good life in the future. Besides, Yuan'er is clever, When I grow up in the future, if I am willing to do things wholeheartedly for the people of Datang, I might still be a virtuous king. Father, don't worry about it."

Emperor Tianyuan said suddenly: "Xiaoqi doesn't blame them? Are you willing to reuse them in the future?"

"They?" Tang Luojin was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yuan'er and the others are just at an innocent and ignorant age. They haven't made any mistakes. What's so strange about it? As for reuse, my son is just like his father. A virtuous person does not shy away from relatives and enemies."

Emperor Tianyuan laughed after hearing this.He said in relief: "It is my blessing to have Xiaoqi, and it is also...their blessing!"

Only then did Tang Luojin leave the Zichen Palace, and walked quickly outside the palace.

Just as he stepped out of the palace gate, he saw Ning Junchi standing in front of a black horse, who was at ease.

Tang Luojin paused.

However, Ning Junchi took the initiative to come over, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Are you going to announce the decree? Uncle will accompany you."

Then he stretched out his hand, shook the boy's hand, and frowned slightly: "Your hand is cold again."

Tang Luojin withdrew her hand expressionlessly, and walked forward.

Yesterday, after he finished talking with the empress and the twelve princes, he saw Ning Junchi walking towards them.

Tang Luojin believed that with the nature of the empress and the twelve princes, it was impossible not to tell Ning Junchi about this matter.And according to Ning Junchi's words and deeds in the past, it is obvious that he knew his life experience earlier.

In this way, no matter what the cause and process were, the final result was all because of him. Emperor Tianyuan imprisoned the empress and the twelve princes on a small island full of water, and imprisoned them; In Buddhist temples, ordained as monks, what they recite every day is not poetry, etiquette and the way of governing the country, but Buddhist scriptures.

After all these things happened, Tang Luojin thought, why didn't Ning Junchi blame him?In any case, even if you don't blame him, you should be a little bit angry at him like Ning Junyu.

But now, Ning Junchi still came forward to show his favor... Tang Luojin couldn't understand.

So he could only walk towards his horse expressionlessly.

Ning Junchi didn't chase after him immediately, but got on his own black horse, patted the black horse's head, the horse barked, and happily caught up with Tang Luojin's sitting horse.

From time to time, they neighed and rubbed against Tang Luojin's sitting horse.

Tang Luojin: "..." Forgot that the horse he was riding was sent to him by Ning Junchi.

Naturally, Ning Junchi and Tang Luojin rode side by side on the road.

It's just that along the way, Tang Luojin didn't pay much attention to him.

But Ning Jun is not annoyed at being late, it doesn't matter if Tang Luojin ignores him, the horse that Tang Luojin sits on and his horse get close to each other, that's fine.

At least he can look at his little Qi very close.

Tang Luojin frowned, and rode to the second prince's palace.

All the signs of the palace were removed.

The Prince's Mansion was originally built according to the regulations of the Prince's Mansion, but now that the Second Prince has died so dishonorably, those who have made trouble should naturally be more diligent.

The people from the Ministry of Rites who came to do this did not forget to come to Tang Luojin to ask for credit.

Tang Luojin glanced at the bare palace, then at the second concubine and several children who came out to kneel to welcome him, her eyes moved slightly, and she said with a straight face: "The regulations of the prince's palace are really not suitable now." Seeing that man was overjoyed, he immediately said, "Now Yuan'er is the king of the county, and the mansion is about to come according to the rules of the mansion of the king of the county. And there is also a princess in the mansion, the king of the county, the princess, and the royal blood, you must not neglect Don't remember wrongly. Otherwise... others can forgive you, but Gu can't get around you."

Tang Luojin's words stunned the people from the Ministry of Rites, and it took a long while before they said in a dumb voice: "Yes, yes, I have made a note. I will never neglect the county king and princess."

The second concubine brought several children, dressed in linen and filial piety, and was crying bitterly. Hearing Tang Luojin's words, she immediately kowtowed to Tang Luojin.

"The prince has a lot of adults, no matter how many children, we should kowtow to the prince."

Tang Luojin didn't say anything, and seeing that they had finished kowtowing, he asked them to take him to the place where the incense table was set up to read the imperial decree.

After the imperial decree, the second prince and concubine immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor looked cruel, but if you look carefully, the second prince made such a big mistake, she and a few children were still able to survive, the prince also personally asked for the will of her legitimate son and daughter, and sealed the county king and princess. The next time he came to announce the decree in person, and helped them, the orphans and widows, reprimanded the villain in front of the door. Even if it was difficult, they would always be able to support it in the future.

"Yuan'er, go talk to your seventh uncle." The second imperial concubine bent down and said, "I want to thank you seventh uncle, it was your seventh uncle who helped us."

The three or four-year-old boy staggered up to Tang Luojin, and hugged Tang Luojin's legs.

Tang Luojin: "..." What should I do?Kick it off?

Although the little boy ran over obediently, he was a little shy. He looked up at this beautiful uncle, but didn't speak.

It was Ning Junchi who hugged him away: "Xiaoqi give him something on your body, so that they can be completely at ease." It can also satisfy the emperor.

Tang Luojin stared at the little boy for a while, then put on a serious and handsome face, took off the wrench from his hand, and waved to the little boy.

Seeing the little boy running over timidly, Tang Luojin personally put the finger wrench in the little boy's hand.

"be good."

Tang Luojin just said two words, but Ning Junchi's heart tightened, and he stopped thinking about it. When he got out of the county prince's mansion, he didn't get on his horse, but stood beside Tang Luojin who was already on his horse. Hold the horse.

"Good, go home."

The horse on Tang Luojin rubbed its head against Ning Junchi's hand obediently, and followed Ning Junchi.

Tang Luojin: "..."

Just as he was about to open his mouth, the man leading his horse raised his head, looked at him, and suddenly spoke again.

"Be good. Xiaoqi, be good."
