Brother Donggong
Chapter 183
Seeing their wishes come true, they are satisfied and do not linger.
The prince said that he needed to freshen up and change clothes, so he went later, and they left.Wen Zhan looked at their backs there, and suddenly turned around abruptly. I always felt that there was a thin but strong thread between him and the queen, which was also torn by Wen Zhan himself. The sour breath surged up again, a little choking.
They are humiliating Wen Zhan, not to mention that Empress Pei is not worthy to sit behind the bead curtain on the Jade Seat, even that old man Du is not worthy to stand in the cabinet anymore.Wen Zhan deserves to choose better courtiers to create his own unworldly feats.
I sat up from the bed, and he came over, squatted down in front of me, and put his hand on my lap. I grabbed his hand very slowly, and only then did I know that his hand was hot, like a fire.I don't know what's wrong with me, I just wanted to hold his hand like this, I lowered my head, but he leaned over and raised his head to kiss me, but I avoided it.
"You are so stingy with me." He sneered, "Whenever I saw that I was sad and sad, I would come over and give some cheap comfort, at most it was holding hands or something, but there was not even a real meat and bone. Give it to me. If I were your dog, you would have starved to death."
I,"……"
He added, "Oh, I forgot, it seems that you have never had a dog since you were a child."
His words were so harsh that they stabbed my heart like a sharp knife.Seeing that I hadn't been stabbed to death by him, he added, "I guess I can't support myself."
I just felt sad, the sourness flowed from my heart and rushed to my limbs, very sad.
Wen Zhan exposed this problem, he stood up, but asked me, "Can I still go to the ground?" He said, and came to move my feet.As soon as my feet hit the ground, I felt like being cut by a knife.
He sighed, "At first I thought I could rest for a few days, but who would have thought that they would come today... This is my fault, I made it a little harder yesterday, but you have to go to the palace today. Follow me at this time It's safest with me."
He clapped his hands towards the outside of the hall. Since the door of the hall was opened, Liu Congrong, who had been outside all the time, brought people in. Both Wen Zhan and I needed to take a shower and change into a full set of court clothes.
My muscles and bones were numb, and it took me a long time to get fully dressed and arrive at the main hall. Wen Zhan had already sat there drinking tea, but his complexion was not good, as dull as stagnant water, but his eyes were bright, like beacons on the battlefield.
His attire was the same as usual, even the court clothes were not newly made, and the flat crown on his head was not fitted with pearl tassels.It's even easier for me, I just wrap my hair with a jade ring, so it doesn't come loose.
When he saw me, he put away that expression, smiled faintly, put down the teacup in his hand, walked over, supported my lower back with his palms, and lowered his head and asked, "Is that all right? Do you want me to hug you?"
I shook my head.
He wasn't angry either, he just stretched out his hand and grabbed my hand. I pulled back hard, but couldn't move.
Me, "Don't be so self-willed, we are going to the main hall of the Dazheng Palace, not your East Palace. Let others see us like this, are you still the successor emperor?"
He snorted, "If it wasn't for me, who do you expect? The third child? I really hope that he can stand up and be a hero once. But in fact, he is poor, short-sighted, thin and long-haired. Expect him to hold up to something, good things are like this, and bad things are the same."
I can no longer entangle with him.
It has been almost an hour and a half since the queen and the others came here this morning. Now this pass can be said to be extremely urgent. It will be a little later, and I don’t know what major event will happen.Seeing that I stopped talking, Wen Zhan dragged me out of the small palace.
His formation today is also good enough.
There were no less than 1000 guards on the left and right sides of his sedan chair. On the left and right sides of the sedan chair were the Eighteen Guards of the Eastern Palace riding black Hun horses, carrying golden feather arrows, and saddles with golden stirrups. Taisho Palace.
On the side of the main gate, there are many sword shadows. People are holding their breaths and standing there. It is the main hall of the Dazheng Palace. Inside the vermilion walls and black tiles, on the golden brick and jade steps, the group of ministers seems to be crying, and they are crying one after another, as if A group of people broke into the chicken and duck nest with swords.
An old imperial envoy wiped his snot and tears all over his face, "Oh my God, this is the death of my great Zheng Jiangshan! The foundation created by the ancestors and the ancestors has been destroyed in the hands of the villain! The concubine of the deep palace! Wife, favorite minister and relative, which one of you can rule the country and secure the country, which one can shake the world, you..."
"Reverse! Reverse!" The trusted servant of the Ministry of Rituals, Pei Rong (the one who robbed the girl, let others pay the gift money, and forced the girl and father to hang himself) yelled, "Come on! Come on!" Man! Pull this man out for me, and beat him to death! "
I looked in and saw that the queen was sitting on a small gold-edged carved phoenix wooden chair beside the throne, and there was an embroidered pier on the left side under the towering throne, and Du Yu was sitting slightly, with his son Du Yuanze standing behind him.The youngest, Yulan, stood on the right side closest to the throne, just holding the wat board in both hands, watching without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, the prince just walked into the main hall and didn't go any further.
He pulled me and stood behind the huge nanmu pillar, watching all this.
Then I heard the sound of swords being unsheathed outside, and there was a muffled trampling sound around the hall. Pei Tan led a large group of guards to surround the place, and the hall suddenly became quiet, as if the crazy crowd died immediately. generally.
Pei Tan came to salute the prince, Wen Zhan nodded as if he hadn't seen him, and then Pei Tan walked in step by step with a long sword.
When Pei Rong and Pei Tan came, he first laughed, pointed at the old imperial envoy and cursed, "Old miscellaneous hair, next year today will be your memorial day, I see who else in your family will collect your body?"
The old envoy's face was ashen, and his whole body was paralyzed as if his muscles and bones had been constricted.He stopped talking, just bit his lips hard, and looked up, tears streaming down his face, much like the high slopes of loess in the rainy season in Northwest Ningzhou.
Pei Shilang greeted him with a smile, and said to Pei Tan, "Old Seventeen, did you bring the troops here yourself?"
Their Pei family is a big family with many brothers and many branches, so they are ranked according to the family.It is said that I don’t know how the clan is arranged, but Pei Tan ranks seventeenth among their brothers in this generation, so those who are older than him, or those who are older than him, call him "Sister" in front of him. "Old Seventeen" looks very friendly, and at the same time can show Pei's overwhelming power.
Pei Shilang, "It's just right, kill him for me, and I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow."
Pei Tan slowly drew out his long sword.
That sword is a precious weapon, and it will see blood when it is drawn out of the sheath.But killing the imperial envoy in court violates the Dazheng ancestral system, and no one is allowed to do so when my father is around, and the crown prince knows this rule.I don't know if the Queen knows, anyway, there is no one in the hall to stop her.
Let them go on like this, what will the country look like?
As soon as I got anxious, I yelled, "You can't kill!"
Wen Zhan grabbed my wrist and almost broke it.
Sorry to be late.
Over there, Pei Tan raised his sword and dropped it, and a human head fell to the ground.Pei Rong's head rolled out like a ball, and his body was still standing, trembling twice, spurting out thick blood from his neck, and fell forward in a posture of a dog chewing shit.
The weeping old imperial envoy immediately suppressed his tears, as if he couldn't believe why the one who died was not him, but Pei Rong?He looked at this side in a daze, and said blankly, "Killed...?"
Du Huan was startled and jumped up from the embroidered pier.
The queen was furious, and slapped her hand on the imperial case again, and the jade bracelet shattered immediately.
Empress Pei shouted, "Pei Tan, are you going against your will?"
Pei Tan didn't speak, he calmly withdrew his sharp sword, and knelt down straight under the throne, "I don't dare."
At this time, the dozens of large carved wooden doors of the main hall of the Dazheng Palace were slammed shut by the guards, like a cage.
Wow! ——
Ahhhhh! ! ——
The hall was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed away. A group of ministers ran around like headless flies, but let them toss about. The gate here is like a copper wall and an iron wall, and the fans don't move.
This is a sealed tomb.
Nobody wants to go out now.
Fear emerged in everyone's hearts - man is a knife, I am a fish.
This kind of fear has no end, like a broken Yellow River, he quickly spread in the hall with an irresistible momentum.The majestic and majestic ministers on weekdays were like little girls being bullied by bullies, trembling and frustrated. Some of them had already started to cry, and they fainted from crying.
The Queen just wanted to have a fit, but she seemed to realize that the people outside were all brought by Pei Tan. She forced herself to put on a calm face and asked Pei Tan, "Little Shiqi, what are you doing? What are you upset about?" Tell aunt about the matter, and aunt will make the decision for you."
Pei Tan still knelt and said, "Empress, this is the court hall, and there is no nephew of the empress."
Queen, "Okay, since that's the case, then Pei Tan, what do you want to do?"
Pei Tan kowtowed respectfully, and then said in a deep voice, "My humble minister, Pei Tan, welcome to the holy car."
His voice is not loud, but it has a soul-stirring power, which is more deafening than clanging metal stones and thundering drums!
what?
what did he say?
I did not hear it clearly.
The queen was startled and stood up, the golden tassels on her head were crackling.She was shocked, "Pei...Pei Tan, what nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty has already..."
"How have I been?"
A clear sound is like a thunderstorm caused by a century-old drought!
Everyone looked at the throne.
My father, Heipao Suyi, came out slowly from the back of the hall, and behind him was Li Fang, the chief eunuch with the handprint of the chief inspector of ceremonies.Li Fang held the emperor's white sable waistcoat in his hands, the rich fur made it look like a living creature.
The ministers burst into an uproar.
I was so startled that my jaw almost fell to the ground.
I unconsciously asked Wen Zhan, "You... how do you know that Father is fine?"
He didn't answer, just shook his head slightly.
Me, "It's you, you and the emperor set up a game?"
He, "Shh... Be quiet and watch the show."
Father's face was as pale as paper, but he was like a god, a mountain.Wherever he is, any ghosts and ghosts will be suppressed and suppressed, unable to cause harm to the world.
My father sat leisurely on the throne, and Li Fang stood beside him, separating him from the queen.
In his left hand he held an old dagger inlaid with many pearls. He tapped the dagger on the imperial case, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle being threaded could be heard.
My father said indifferently, "I'm sick, and these days it's difficult for you dear ministers, and you can still fulfill your duties when the government is unstable. This is the fortune of the country and the people of the world."
Those people immediately woke up from their daze. They immediately knelt down and shouted for long live, but my father stopped him when he raised his hand.
"The future will be long. Dear dear ministers, today I only want to deal with family affairs, not state affairs, so all dear ministers, please step back."
Everyone was still at a loss, looked up, and saw the emperor sitting lazily on the throne, not knowing what he was thinking, the eunuch next to him, Li Fang, was looking at the six ministers, and the princes and ministers kept winking, everyone was like a dream After waking up for the first time, he bowed three hundred and nine times in a hurry. At this time, several gates of the Dazheng Palace suddenly opened, and everyone walked out, looking at the blue sky outside, feeling a sense of rebirth as a human being in a daze.
Li Fang 'invited' the Queen to the Nine Layers Throne, while Pei Tan's men left behind Du Jue, Du Yuanze, and King Jia Yulan.At this time, the prince grabbed me and walked forward.My father gave me a gentle look, and my tears fell down like broken beads.I also knew that it was not the right time to cry at this time, so I used my sleeve to fool me and held back.
My father looked at the living people below, as well as Pei Rong's body and his head, sighed, and said to Li Fang, "Du Ge's senior ministers are also elderly now, help Ge Sit down."
"Yes, slaves obey."
Li Fang put the ermine vest by my father's hand, and he came over by himself, helped Du Jue who was kneeling on the ground, let him sit up, and then came back again, and put the vest on my father.
The queen's eyes turned, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes and said, "Seeing that your majesty is safe, and my concubines are always alive and dead, I can close my eyes with a smile."
The emperor raised his hand and stopped her from speaking, "Queen, you and I have been husband and wife for 20 years. Let's get rid of these hypocrisy today."
Empress Pei raised her head in horror, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said."
"You understand that."
My father stood up, picked up the short sword on the imperial case, and threw it out at once.There was a clanging sound of gold and stone colliding, and the dagger came to Pei's back feet.
"Queen, this is your reward."
Empress Pei burst into tears, "Your Majesty, you have wronged my concubine like this, and my concubine refuses to accept it!"
"Wronged?" The emperor's voice was very soft, as soft as the cloud floating over the sky, "Poisoned my medicine, colluded with foreign ministers, corrupted Mo's treasury, threatened the crown prince to give up power, and secretly exchanged Yongjing's defenses. Killing the imperial envoy without permission, conniving at the family members' authority, committing crimes, forming a party and plotting rebellion. Which one of these was not done by you, and which one is not a capital crime?"
Empress Pei cried, "Your majesty, you can't just judge the concubine's crime based on one-sided words. The concubine was wronged, and the concubine refused to accept it! Your majesty, you don't know how many people in this palace want the concubine to die. They are all superficial Zhongliang, a person with a heart of snakes and scorpions in private, they slander their concubines,..."
Snapped!
My dad took a picture of the book case.
"That's enough! I've seen you and my 20-year husband-wife relationship be sympathetic. I hope you can take care of yourself."
Empress Pei suddenly stopped crying.
She giggled, "Your Majesty, do you think you can calm things down by killing me? Let me tell you, it's too late, and only you will pay for the sins you have done! You will never even think about your shameful deeds." Keep it a secret! For a man, you killed your own son, you killed all your own sons, and you married an unscrupulous slut to be your concubine! You also raised someone else’s son for more than 20 years! You are the best in the world The most useless man! I look down on you! The whole world looks down on you!"
I was surprised, Empress Pei, is this crazy?
However, my father listened quietly, his expression was very flat, it seemed that everything in front of him could no longer cause him any disturbance.
After Empress Pei was exhausted, my father still asked calmly, "Okay, since you said so, I will not bend you. Today in this court, we settled all the grievances. The first thing, you say!" "
Empress Pei raised her eyes, "The matter of swallowing the treasury's silver has nothing to do with my concubines. Your Majesty may as well ask your relative Cui Bicheng. He has been making bureaucratic errands. He knows best about the huge ink corruption case in the south of the Yangtze River. Ten million taels of silver disappeared. It seems that the emperor should not condone raising rape."
My father nodded and said to Li Fang, "Ask Cui Bicheng to come over, and at the same time ask the Supervisor of Rites to bring over the accounts from the internal treasury."
I never thought I could see Cui Bicheng today.
He lowered his head and put on new clothes all over his body. His leg injury was not healed, so he limped up on two crutches.He didn't look at me, he just knelt down, but he didn't speak. The person who came with him was Lv Zhi from the Supervisor of Ceremonies.Luzhi held a large account and knelt down too.
My father said to Lu Zhi, "Read the account in your hand to these people."
Luzhi replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Then he raised his head, and said in the account book with both hands, "In the 36th year of Fenghua, in November, the Ministry of War built a straight wooden brigantine warship to fight against the feudal country at sea, with a total of 3107 million taels of silver.
In the 37th year of Fenghua, in May, there was a severe drought in the northwest, and it was necessary to allocate grain for disaster relief. The internal treasury allocated 1206 million taels of silver.In the 37th year of Fenghua, in July, Jiangxi was flooded, and the internal treasury allocated 72 taels of silver for disaster relief.
In the 38th year of Fenghua, in March, the chieftain of Dongchuan rebelled, and the internal treasury allocated 54 taels of military pay. In July of the same year, additional military salaries and pensions for soldiers killed in battle totaled 46 taels of silver.
In the 39th year of Fenghua, the Xiongnu from Mobei went south to attack the Hetao Plain. The governor of Xuanda, Yin Mingyang, fought hard to resist and repelled the Xiongnu. A total of 130 taels of silver.
In the 41st year of Fenghua, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, Fujian, Zhejiang, and central Sichuan in summer, and the funds were allocated, totaling 260 million taels of silver.
These several major expenditures totaled 84 million taels of silver. "
After Luzhi finished speaking, he kowtowed and closed the big book.
My heart skipped a beat when I heard this, and a huge rock fell to the ground.
It turned out that Old Cui was actually quite worried about the world's worries, and he even accumulated wealth for the country.In my heart, he was transformed from an iron cock to a shining golden cock!Although still bare, but incomparable brilliance.
My father said, "The so-called missing money in Cui Bicheng's account has been used in these items. His account books in Jiangnan have been secretly escorted to Beijing. If the queen, Du Ge, wants to reconcile the accounts, it is absolutely right. I don't know." Do you agree with the empress and elder Ge?"
Du Huan was old and cunning, he had already knelt by the side, slamming his forehead on the ground, without saying a word.
Empress Pei didn't know the result, so she was also taken aback.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Cui Bicheng to step back first.
At this time, the queen gritted her teeth, pointed at me and said, "What about him? He is not the eldest son of the emperor at all. The real eldest son of the emperor is already dead. The noble concubine Cui pretended to be the prince with her illegitimate son, messing up the palace and confusing the blood of the royal family." , isn’t this a felony for exterminating the Nine Races?”
I... I spit out a mouthful of blood, and I will kill you!What I heard next to me was annoyed!Empress Pei seems to want to pull me as a backstop when she is dying, she is so vicious!
but……
My father did not immediately refute her, but lowered his eyes, not knowing what to think.
His silence was a little disturbing.
After a long time, he said, "I didn't intend to keep it a secret for the rest of my life. In this case,... the ancestors and ancestors, the crime of privately killing the prince and confusing the blood of the royal family, I will bear it alone.
Cui Shi did not lose his integrity.She was not perfect when she entered the palace, because she had been married before.Her husband is my close friend, and I consider him my confidant.He left his orphan at the end of his life, and I should try my best to take care of their mother and child. "
rumbling...
God, what the hell is my dad talking about?
I just saw him looking at me, "Chengyi, come here."
I walked over in a daze, and he pointed to the area in front of me again, and said, "Kneel down."
I also knelt down.
The emperor said, "The decree is drawn up. From now on, Chengyi, the eldest son of the former emperor, is not of the royal blood. From now on, the clan's residence will be removed, the mansion will be confiscated, the last year's salary and all royal offerings will be exempted, and he will be deposed as a commoner. He will never be allowed to be an official through the imperial examination. The family was out of integrity and easy to marry, so the title of noble concubine was removed and she was demoted to concubine Shu. Although Cui Bicheng had made great achievements in the country, he was arrogant and extravagant, spent the state money privately, bribed officials, and ordered Shuntian Mansion to confiscate all his property in Yongjing. , and the land property shall all be state-owned. Cui’s Ranzhuang ancestral hall and land property are his ancestral property and shall be preserved.”
I was so dumb that I even forgot about Shane.
But my father... the emperor didn't look at me at all, he just looked at Empress Pei, "Queen, do you agree with this?"
life price.
The emperor was exchanging the chips in his hands for the lives of the queen, and even the lives of Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Du.
"His Majesty."
Empress Pei fell to her knees dignifiedly, "Today's misfortune is all caused by my concubine and Du Ju's party, and has nothing to do with the prince. Your Majesty, please be aware."
"Pei Rulun! You contradictory bitch! I'll bite you to death!"
Over there, Du Yuanze roared, and he looked like a vicious dog rushing towards his food. Pei Tan hurriedly pushed him to the ground, pressing his head firmly on the ground, making him unable to move.
Du Yuanze kept saying inarticulately, "I'll bite you to death!..."
Pei Tan had his jaw removed, and he calmed down.
Just staring at the queen with staring eyes, her eyes are about to burst.
The emperor seemed unmoved. He looked at Empress Pei without agreeing or refuting.
Empress Pei picked up the dagger with both hands, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, since you have never forgotten the past of the Pei family, why did you wait for 23 years before doing it?"
The emperor stepped down from the throne, he looked at me, then at the crown prince, and finally walked up to the queen, and said lightly, "Because, after all, you and I have a husband and wife love, and I have a father-son relationship with the crown prince, and I have a father-son relationship with Pei. The family has the righteousness of the monarch and ministers! The prince is the most important treasure of the country, I don't want to touch the Pei family and implicate the prince!"
"His Majesty……"
Hearing that the crown prince was safe, Empress Pei suddenly smiled, the kind of joy that came from the bottom of her heart.
"Hearing what His Majesty said, the concubine's wish has been fulfilled, and the concubine can go on the road with peace of mind."
After speaking, he wiped his neck.
The prince was quiet as if he had already died.
He didn't say a word, didn't make a plea.
Not even tears and crying.
He just watched all this happen quietly.
The emperor watched Empress Pei fall down, and said to Li Fang, "Drafting the decree, the empress's family corrected the decree and conspired against it. Except for Pei Tan, the hero of the Jingchao, the rest of the Yi and Pei clans were all sent as slaves. After all, Pei Tan is a member of the Pei clan, so he immediately cut off the title of Marquis of Zhengyuan, demoted it to three ranks and retained it, and was transferred to the East China Sea to serve as the commander-in-chief of Xinzhou. Planting party feathers, embezzling the country's money, gathering parties to seek rebellion, promulgating the three laws and judging and convicting, hereby."
"As for others..."
"Ge Lao, you are old, you should return to your hometown after serving as an official."
Du Yuanze was already speechless, only a trembling Du Huan, trembling slightly kowtowed, and tremblingly thanked, "Sinner, take the order to thank you."
Since someone came, he and his son were half pressed and half supported, and they were taken away.
A certain dynasty usurped the throne, and it just disappeared.
The emperor walked up to King Jia who was trembling like a reed chicken, and said sadly, "Actually, when I was poisoned, the prince locked you up. It was my idea to keep you safe. Why are you so confused? Are you getting involved in this vortex? Now that things are going on, how do you let me protect you?"
"No... not..."
Yulan suddenly raised her head, hugged the emperor's thigh with an expression of unprecedented fear, but looked at Wen Zhan and said, "Father... father emperor, no, my son was wronged, Mr. Du Ge was wronged, and Du Shilang was wronged too. The queen was wronged, all of this is not like this. It's not..."
The emperor stroked his hair slowly, with pain in his eyes, a feeling that he only understood after becoming a father.He must have thought his son was frightened mad.
"Don't be afraid, Yulan, don't be afraid of your son, with the emperor around, no one will do anything to you."
"No!" Yu Lan suddenly screamed, pointing at Wen Zhan, "Father, it's him, everything is him! He told his son that the eldest son of the emperor is not the father's biological son, and asked his son to investigate It was him, he was the one who gave Mr. Du Ge the account, saying that Cui Bicheng corrupted 1000 million taels of silver, and he asked Mr. Du Ge to thoroughly investigate Jiangnan! It was also he who stole the soldier talisman and gave it to Pei Rong to assist the queen in mobilizing troops. , but who would have thought that at the most critical moment, all the soldiers and horses would be replaced by Pei Tan's men... It's still him, it's still him... He said that the father's health was getting worse day by day, and he asked his son to secretly find someone to find him. There is a prescription,... It is said that it is good to let the father be sick, as long as the father ignores the government affairs, the father will not investigate the Du family's black account, and will not abolish his son..."
The emperor's voice was soft and soft, and he asked Yu Lan carefully, "Did Wen Zhan ask you to do these?"
"..." Then he trembled and said softly, "Yes..."
Snapped! ——
A ruthless slap hit Yu Lan's face, and the corner of Yu Lan's mouth was covered with blood.
"You dare to do it without telling me?!"
After a long while, Yu Lan rolled over, hugged the emperor's leg and continued to cry, "Father, my son was wrong, my son knew it was wrong, father,... father..."
"Li Fang! Li Fang! You send the third child... to Prince Jia's Mansion, order him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes, and don't allow him to see any guests!"
"Yes."
As soon as Li Fang heard that there was a great relationship here, she hurried over and called Lu Zhi, and the two of them dragged and dragged Yu Lan away.
In the huge main hall of Dazheng Palace, there are only me, the emperor, and Wen Zhan.
Wen Zhan didn't raise his head, he lowered his head, calmly, suddenly the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was a treacherous smile on the edge of his lips, like a beautiful white jade mask, which was forcibly torn open.
He kowtowed impeccably, "Father."
Wen Zhan did not defend himself at all.
The emperor stopped talking.
After a long, long time, the emperor said in a weary voice, "Those who achieve great things can kill their closest relatives. From Cui Bicheng, to the huge case in the south of the Yangtze River, the private account of the Du family, and then I was poisoned and comatose, the empress took power, and even Chengyi's life experience You can also use it to make a fuss. On the surface, you joined forces with me to show weakness by taking advantage of my poisoning, and wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but secretly you instigated the Pei family to take power. You are really the Buddha, and you are the ghost!"
The more I listened, the more frightened I became.
I looked sideways at Wen Zhan, like looking at an evil ghost.
The emperor sneered, "What a prince! Over the past few years, he has set up a network of heaven and earth, worked every step of the way, and counted every step of the way. What kind of scheming is this? I was wrong. Originally, I only wanted to use Du Yu to hone you. Who would have thought of his 20-year cardinal minister?" , the Du family is a former official of the whole dynasty, and the Pei family is vulnerable in front of you. With a son like you, even if I die, I can still meet the ancestors of Dazheng with a smile on my face. "
Wen Zhan didn't speak, just kneeling upright.
The emperor suddenly said sadly, "In this world, you are alone, you are called lonely,..."
The prince replied, "No, I am not alone, I still have him,... and only him."
I saw Wen Zhan looking at me, and suddenly he smiled, lightly, like a green lotus in the world of mortals.
In the 31st year of Fenghua, the rebellion dispute in July came to an end.
The current emperor only had three grown-up princes in the world. After this battle, I was deposed as a commoner. King Jia Yulan was imprisoned because he was implicated in treason and felony. The remaining prince is Prince Wen Zhan.
He is the only one.
Only he is the final victor.
Fengmo's chaos is simply unpredictable, and there are many treacherous and murderous intentions in it.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole follows behind,
Who is whose knife and who is whose fish?
No.20 A good day and a beautiful day
The prince said that he needed to freshen up and change clothes, so he went later, and they left.Wen Zhan looked at their backs there, and suddenly turned around abruptly. I always felt that there was a thin but strong thread between him and the queen, which was also torn by Wen Zhan himself. The sour breath surged up again, a little choking.
They are humiliating Wen Zhan, not to mention that Empress Pei is not worthy to sit behind the bead curtain on the Jade Seat, even that old man Du is not worthy to stand in the cabinet anymore.Wen Zhan deserves to choose better courtiers to create his own unworldly feats.
I sat up from the bed, and he came over, squatted down in front of me, and put his hand on my lap. I grabbed his hand very slowly, and only then did I know that his hand was hot, like a fire.I don't know what's wrong with me, I just wanted to hold his hand like this, I lowered my head, but he leaned over and raised his head to kiss me, but I avoided it.
"You are so stingy with me." He sneered, "Whenever I saw that I was sad and sad, I would come over and give some cheap comfort, at most it was holding hands or something, but there was not even a real meat and bone. Give it to me. If I were your dog, you would have starved to death."
I,"……"
He added, "Oh, I forgot, it seems that you have never had a dog since you were a child."
His words were so harsh that they stabbed my heart like a sharp knife.Seeing that I hadn't been stabbed to death by him, he added, "I guess I can't support myself."
I just felt sad, the sourness flowed from my heart and rushed to my limbs, very sad.
Wen Zhan exposed this problem, he stood up, but asked me, "Can I still go to the ground?" He said, and came to move my feet.As soon as my feet hit the ground, I felt like being cut by a knife.
He sighed, "At first I thought I could rest for a few days, but who would have thought that they would come today... This is my fault, I made it a little harder yesterday, but you have to go to the palace today. Follow me at this time It's safest with me."
He clapped his hands towards the outside of the hall. Since the door of the hall was opened, Liu Congrong, who had been outside all the time, brought people in. Both Wen Zhan and I needed to take a shower and change into a full set of court clothes.
My muscles and bones were numb, and it took me a long time to get fully dressed and arrive at the main hall. Wen Zhan had already sat there drinking tea, but his complexion was not good, as dull as stagnant water, but his eyes were bright, like beacons on the battlefield.
His attire was the same as usual, even the court clothes were not newly made, and the flat crown on his head was not fitted with pearl tassels.It's even easier for me, I just wrap my hair with a jade ring, so it doesn't come loose.
When he saw me, he put away that expression, smiled faintly, put down the teacup in his hand, walked over, supported my lower back with his palms, and lowered his head and asked, "Is that all right? Do you want me to hug you?"
I shook my head.
He wasn't angry either, he just stretched out his hand and grabbed my hand. I pulled back hard, but couldn't move.
Me, "Don't be so self-willed, we are going to the main hall of the Dazheng Palace, not your East Palace. Let others see us like this, are you still the successor emperor?"
He snorted, "If it wasn't for me, who do you expect? The third child? I really hope that he can stand up and be a hero once. But in fact, he is poor, short-sighted, thin and long-haired. Expect him to hold up to something, good things are like this, and bad things are the same."
I can no longer entangle with him.
It has been almost an hour and a half since the queen and the others came here this morning. Now this pass can be said to be extremely urgent. It will be a little later, and I don’t know what major event will happen.Seeing that I stopped talking, Wen Zhan dragged me out of the small palace.
His formation today is also good enough.
There were no less than 1000 guards on the left and right sides of his sedan chair. On the left and right sides of the sedan chair were the Eighteen Guards of the Eastern Palace riding black Hun horses, carrying golden feather arrows, and saddles with golden stirrups. Taisho Palace.
On the side of the main gate, there are many sword shadows. People are holding their breaths and standing there. It is the main hall of the Dazheng Palace. Inside the vermilion walls and black tiles, on the golden brick and jade steps, the group of ministers seems to be crying, and they are crying one after another, as if A group of people broke into the chicken and duck nest with swords.
An old imperial envoy wiped his snot and tears all over his face, "Oh my God, this is the death of my great Zheng Jiangshan! The foundation created by the ancestors and the ancestors has been destroyed in the hands of the villain! The concubine of the deep palace! Wife, favorite minister and relative, which one of you can rule the country and secure the country, which one can shake the world, you..."
"Reverse! Reverse!" The trusted servant of the Ministry of Rituals, Pei Rong (the one who robbed the girl, let others pay the gift money, and forced the girl and father to hang himself) yelled, "Come on! Come on!" Man! Pull this man out for me, and beat him to death! "
I looked in and saw that the queen was sitting on a small gold-edged carved phoenix wooden chair beside the throne, and there was an embroidered pier on the left side under the towering throne, and Du Yu was sitting slightly, with his son Du Yuanze standing behind him.The youngest, Yulan, stood on the right side closest to the throne, just holding the wat board in both hands, watching without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, the prince just walked into the main hall and didn't go any further.
He pulled me and stood behind the huge nanmu pillar, watching all this.
Then I heard the sound of swords being unsheathed outside, and there was a muffled trampling sound around the hall. Pei Tan led a large group of guards to surround the place, and the hall suddenly became quiet, as if the crazy crowd died immediately. generally.
Pei Tan came to salute the prince, Wen Zhan nodded as if he hadn't seen him, and then Pei Tan walked in step by step with a long sword.
When Pei Rong and Pei Tan came, he first laughed, pointed at the old imperial envoy and cursed, "Old miscellaneous hair, next year today will be your memorial day, I see who else in your family will collect your body?"
The old envoy's face was ashen, and his whole body was paralyzed as if his muscles and bones had been constricted.He stopped talking, just bit his lips hard, and looked up, tears streaming down his face, much like the high slopes of loess in the rainy season in Northwest Ningzhou.
Pei Shilang greeted him with a smile, and said to Pei Tan, "Old Seventeen, did you bring the troops here yourself?"
Their Pei family is a big family with many brothers and many branches, so they are ranked according to the family.It is said that I don’t know how the clan is arranged, but Pei Tan ranks seventeenth among their brothers in this generation, so those who are older than him, or those who are older than him, call him "Sister" in front of him. "Old Seventeen" looks very friendly, and at the same time can show Pei's overwhelming power.
Pei Shilang, "It's just right, kill him for me, and I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow."
Pei Tan slowly drew out his long sword.
That sword is a precious weapon, and it will see blood when it is drawn out of the sheath.But killing the imperial envoy in court violates the Dazheng ancestral system, and no one is allowed to do so when my father is around, and the crown prince knows this rule.I don't know if the Queen knows, anyway, there is no one in the hall to stop her.
Let them go on like this, what will the country look like?
As soon as I got anxious, I yelled, "You can't kill!"
Wen Zhan grabbed my wrist and almost broke it.
Sorry to be late.
Over there, Pei Tan raised his sword and dropped it, and a human head fell to the ground.Pei Rong's head rolled out like a ball, and his body was still standing, trembling twice, spurting out thick blood from his neck, and fell forward in a posture of a dog chewing shit.
The weeping old imperial envoy immediately suppressed his tears, as if he couldn't believe why the one who died was not him, but Pei Rong?He looked at this side in a daze, and said blankly, "Killed...?"
Du Huan was startled and jumped up from the embroidered pier.
The queen was furious, and slapped her hand on the imperial case again, and the jade bracelet shattered immediately.
Empress Pei shouted, "Pei Tan, are you going against your will?"
Pei Tan didn't speak, he calmly withdrew his sharp sword, and knelt down straight under the throne, "I don't dare."
At this time, the dozens of large carved wooden doors of the main hall of the Dazheng Palace were slammed shut by the guards, like a cage.
Wow! ——
Ahhhhh! ! ——
The hall was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed away. A group of ministers ran around like headless flies, but let them toss about. The gate here is like a copper wall and an iron wall, and the fans don't move.
This is a sealed tomb.
Nobody wants to go out now.
Fear emerged in everyone's hearts - man is a knife, I am a fish.
This kind of fear has no end, like a broken Yellow River, he quickly spread in the hall with an irresistible momentum.The majestic and majestic ministers on weekdays were like little girls being bullied by bullies, trembling and frustrated. Some of them had already started to cry, and they fainted from crying.
The Queen just wanted to have a fit, but she seemed to realize that the people outside were all brought by Pei Tan. She forced herself to put on a calm face and asked Pei Tan, "Little Shiqi, what are you doing? What are you upset about?" Tell aunt about the matter, and aunt will make the decision for you."
Pei Tan still knelt and said, "Empress, this is the court hall, and there is no nephew of the empress."
Queen, "Okay, since that's the case, then Pei Tan, what do you want to do?"
Pei Tan kowtowed respectfully, and then said in a deep voice, "My humble minister, Pei Tan, welcome to the holy car."
His voice is not loud, but it has a soul-stirring power, which is more deafening than clanging metal stones and thundering drums!
what?
what did he say?
I did not hear it clearly.
The queen was startled and stood up, the golden tassels on her head were crackling.She was shocked, "Pei...Pei Tan, what nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty has already..."
"How have I been?"
A clear sound is like a thunderstorm caused by a century-old drought!
Everyone looked at the throne.
My father, Heipao Suyi, came out slowly from the back of the hall, and behind him was Li Fang, the chief eunuch with the handprint of the chief inspector of ceremonies.Li Fang held the emperor's white sable waistcoat in his hands, the rich fur made it look like a living creature.
The ministers burst into an uproar.
I was so startled that my jaw almost fell to the ground.
I unconsciously asked Wen Zhan, "You... how do you know that Father is fine?"
He didn't answer, just shook his head slightly.
Me, "It's you, you and the emperor set up a game?"
He, "Shh... Be quiet and watch the show."
Father's face was as pale as paper, but he was like a god, a mountain.Wherever he is, any ghosts and ghosts will be suppressed and suppressed, unable to cause harm to the world.
My father sat leisurely on the throne, and Li Fang stood beside him, separating him from the queen.
In his left hand he held an old dagger inlaid with many pearls. He tapped the dagger on the imperial case, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle being threaded could be heard.
My father said indifferently, "I'm sick, and these days it's difficult for you dear ministers, and you can still fulfill your duties when the government is unstable. This is the fortune of the country and the people of the world."
Those people immediately woke up from their daze. They immediately knelt down and shouted for long live, but my father stopped him when he raised his hand.
"The future will be long. Dear dear ministers, today I only want to deal with family affairs, not state affairs, so all dear ministers, please step back."
Everyone was still at a loss, looked up, and saw the emperor sitting lazily on the throne, not knowing what he was thinking, the eunuch next to him, Li Fang, was looking at the six ministers, and the princes and ministers kept winking, everyone was like a dream After waking up for the first time, he bowed three hundred and nine times in a hurry. At this time, several gates of the Dazheng Palace suddenly opened, and everyone walked out, looking at the blue sky outside, feeling a sense of rebirth as a human being in a daze.
Li Fang 'invited' the Queen to the Nine Layers Throne, while Pei Tan's men left behind Du Jue, Du Yuanze, and King Jia Yulan.At this time, the prince grabbed me and walked forward.My father gave me a gentle look, and my tears fell down like broken beads.I also knew that it was not the right time to cry at this time, so I used my sleeve to fool me and held back.
My father looked at the living people below, as well as Pei Rong's body and his head, sighed, and said to Li Fang, "Du Ge's senior ministers are also elderly now, help Ge Sit down."
"Yes, slaves obey."
Li Fang put the ermine vest by my father's hand, and he came over by himself, helped Du Jue who was kneeling on the ground, let him sit up, and then came back again, and put the vest on my father.
The queen's eyes turned, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes and said, "Seeing that your majesty is safe, and my concubines are always alive and dead, I can close my eyes with a smile."
The emperor raised his hand and stopped her from speaking, "Queen, you and I have been husband and wife for 20 years. Let's get rid of these hypocrisy today."
Empress Pei raised her head in horror, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said."
"You understand that."
My father stood up, picked up the short sword on the imperial case, and threw it out at once.There was a clanging sound of gold and stone colliding, and the dagger came to Pei's back feet.
"Queen, this is your reward."
Empress Pei burst into tears, "Your Majesty, you have wronged my concubine like this, and my concubine refuses to accept it!"
"Wronged?" The emperor's voice was very soft, as soft as the cloud floating over the sky, "Poisoned my medicine, colluded with foreign ministers, corrupted Mo's treasury, threatened the crown prince to give up power, and secretly exchanged Yongjing's defenses. Killing the imperial envoy without permission, conniving at the family members' authority, committing crimes, forming a party and plotting rebellion. Which one of these was not done by you, and which one is not a capital crime?"
Empress Pei cried, "Your majesty, you can't just judge the concubine's crime based on one-sided words. The concubine was wronged, and the concubine refused to accept it! Your majesty, you don't know how many people in this palace want the concubine to die. They are all superficial Zhongliang, a person with a heart of snakes and scorpions in private, they slander their concubines,..."
Snapped!
My dad took a picture of the book case.
"That's enough! I've seen you and my 20-year husband-wife relationship be sympathetic. I hope you can take care of yourself."
Empress Pei suddenly stopped crying.
She giggled, "Your Majesty, do you think you can calm things down by killing me? Let me tell you, it's too late, and only you will pay for the sins you have done! You will never even think about your shameful deeds." Keep it a secret! For a man, you killed your own son, you killed all your own sons, and you married an unscrupulous slut to be your concubine! You also raised someone else’s son for more than 20 years! You are the best in the world The most useless man! I look down on you! The whole world looks down on you!"
I was surprised, Empress Pei, is this crazy?
However, my father listened quietly, his expression was very flat, it seemed that everything in front of him could no longer cause him any disturbance.
After Empress Pei was exhausted, my father still asked calmly, "Okay, since you said so, I will not bend you. Today in this court, we settled all the grievances. The first thing, you say!" "
Empress Pei raised her eyes, "The matter of swallowing the treasury's silver has nothing to do with my concubines. Your Majesty may as well ask your relative Cui Bicheng. He has been making bureaucratic errands. He knows best about the huge ink corruption case in the south of the Yangtze River. Ten million taels of silver disappeared. It seems that the emperor should not condone raising rape."
My father nodded and said to Li Fang, "Ask Cui Bicheng to come over, and at the same time ask the Supervisor of Rites to bring over the accounts from the internal treasury."
I never thought I could see Cui Bicheng today.
He lowered his head and put on new clothes all over his body. His leg injury was not healed, so he limped up on two crutches.He didn't look at me, he just knelt down, but he didn't speak. The person who came with him was Lv Zhi from the Supervisor of Ceremonies.Luzhi held a large account and knelt down too.
My father said to Lu Zhi, "Read the account in your hand to these people."
Luzhi replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Then he raised his head, and said in the account book with both hands, "In the 36th year of Fenghua, in November, the Ministry of War built a straight wooden brigantine warship to fight against the feudal country at sea, with a total of 3107 million taels of silver.
In the 37th year of Fenghua, in May, there was a severe drought in the northwest, and it was necessary to allocate grain for disaster relief. The internal treasury allocated 1206 million taels of silver.In the 37th year of Fenghua, in July, Jiangxi was flooded, and the internal treasury allocated 72 taels of silver for disaster relief.
In the 38th year of Fenghua, in March, the chieftain of Dongchuan rebelled, and the internal treasury allocated 54 taels of military pay. In July of the same year, additional military salaries and pensions for soldiers killed in battle totaled 46 taels of silver.
In the 39th year of Fenghua, the Xiongnu from Mobei went south to attack the Hetao Plain. The governor of Xuanda, Yin Mingyang, fought hard to resist and repelled the Xiongnu. A total of 130 taels of silver.
In the 41st year of Fenghua, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, Fujian, Zhejiang, and central Sichuan in summer, and the funds were allocated, totaling 260 million taels of silver.
These several major expenditures totaled 84 million taels of silver. "
After Luzhi finished speaking, he kowtowed and closed the big book.
My heart skipped a beat when I heard this, and a huge rock fell to the ground.
It turned out that Old Cui was actually quite worried about the world's worries, and he even accumulated wealth for the country.In my heart, he was transformed from an iron cock to a shining golden cock!Although still bare, but incomparable brilliance.
My father said, "The so-called missing money in Cui Bicheng's account has been used in these items. His account books in Jiangnan have been secretly escorted to Beijing. If the queen, Du Ge, wants to reconcile the accounts, it is absolutely right. I don't know." Do you agree with the empress and elder Ge?"
Du Huan was old and cunning, he had already knelt by the side, slamming his forehead on the ground, without saying a word.
Empress Pei didn't know the result, so she was also taken aback.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Cui Bicheng to step back first.
At this time, the queen gritted her teeth, pointed at me and said, "What about him? He is not the eldest son of the emperor at all. The real eldest son of the emperor is already dead. The noble concubine Cui pretended to be the prince with her illegitimate son, messing up the palace and confusing the blood of the royal family." , isn’t this a felony for exterminating the Nine Races?”
I... I spit out a mouthful of blood, and I will kill you!What I heard next to me was annoyed!Empress Pei seems to want to pull me as a backstop when she is dying, she is so vicious!
but……
My father did not immediately refute her, but lowered his eyes, not knowing what to think.
His silence was a little disturbing.
After a long time, he said, "I didn't intend to keep it a secret for the rest of my life. In this case,... the ancestors and ancestors, the crime of privately killing the prince and confusing the blood of the royal family, I will bear it alone.
Cui Shi did not lose his integrity.She was not perfect when she entered the palace, because she had been married before.Her husband is my close friend, and I consider him my confidant.He left his orphan at the end of his life, and I should try my best to take care of their mother and child. "
rumbling...
God, what the hell is my dad talking about?
I just saw him looking at me, "Chengyi, come here."
I walked over in a daze, and he pointed to the area in front of me again, and said, "Kneel down."
I also knelt down.
The emperor said, "The decree is drawn up. From now on, Chengyi, the eldest son of the former emperor, is not of the royal blood. From now on, the clan's residence will be removed, the mansion will be confiscated, the last year's salary and all royal offerings will be exempted, and he will be deposed as a commoner. He will never be allowed to be an official through the imperial examination. The family was out of integrity and easy to marry, so the title of noble concubine was removed and she was demoted to concubine Shu. Although Cui Bicheng had made great achievements in the country, he was arrogant and extravagant, spent the state money privately, bribed officials, and ordered Shuntian Mansion to confiscate all his property in Yongjing. , and the land property shall all be state-owned. Cui’s Ranzhuang ancestral hall and land property are his ancestral property and shall be preserved.”
I was so dumb that I even forgot about Shane.
But my father... the emperor didn't look at me at all, he just looked at Empress Pei, "Queen, do you agree with this?"
life price.
The emperor was exchanging the chips in his hands for the lives of the queen, and even the lives of Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Du.
"His Majesty."
Empress Pei fell to her knees dignifiedly, "Today's misfortune is all caused by my concubine and Du Ju's party, and has nothing to do with the prince. Your Majesty, please be aware."
"Pei Rulun! You contradictory bitch! I'll bite you to death!"
Over there, Du Yuanze roared, and he looked like a vicious dog rushing towards his food. Pei Tan hurriedly pushed him to the ground, pressing his head firmly on the ground, making him unable to move.
Du Yuanze kept saying inarticulately, "I'll bite you to death!..."
Pei Tan had his jaw removed, and he calmed down.
Just staring at the queen with staring eyes, her eyes are about to burst.
The emperor seemed unmoved. He looked at Empress Pei without agreeing or refuting.
Empress Pei picked up the dagger with both hands, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, since you have never forgotten the past of the Pei family, why did you wait for 23 years before doing it?"
The emperor stepped down from the throne, he looked at me, then at the crown prince, and finally walked up to the queen, and said lightly, "Because, after all, you and I have a husband and wife love, and I have a father-son relationship with the crown prince, and I have a father-son relationship with Pei. The family has the righteousness of the monarch and ministers! The prince is the most important treasure of the country, I don't want to touch the Pei family and implicate the prince!"
"His Majesty……"
Hearing that the crown prince was safe, Empress Pei suddenly smiled, the kind of joy that came from the bottom of her heart.
"Hearing what His Majesty said, the concubine's wish has been fulfilled, and the concubine can go on the road with peace of mind."
After speaking, he wiped his neck.
The prince was quiet as if he had already died.
He didn't say a word, didn't make a plea.
Not even tears and crying.
He just watched all this happen quietly.
The emperor watched Empress Pei fall down, and said to Li Fang, "Drafting the decree, the empress's family corrected the decree and conspired against it. Except for Pei Tan, the hero of the Jingchao, the rest of the Yi and Pei clans were all sent as slaves. After all, Pei Tan is a member of the Pei clan, so he immediately cut off the title of Marquis of Zhengyuan, demoted it to three ranks and retained it, and was transferred to the East China Sea to serve as the commander-in-chief of Xinzhou. Planting party feathers, embezzling the country's money, gathering parties to seek rebellion, promulgating the three laws and judging and convicting, hereby."
"As for others..."
"Ge Lao, you are old, you should return to your hometown after serving as an official."
Du Yuanze was already speechless, only a trembling Du Huan, trembling slightly kowtowed, and tremblingly thanked, "Sinner, take the order to thank you."
Since someone came, he and his son were half pressed and half supported, and they were taken away.
A certain dynasty usurped the throne, and it just disappeared.
The emperor walked up to King Jia who was trembling like a reed chicken, and said sadly, "Actually, when I was poisoned, the prince locked you up. It was my idea to keep you safe. Why are you so confused? Are you getting involved in this vortex? Now that things are going on, how do you let me protect you?"
"No... not..."
Yulan suddenly raised her head, hugged the emperor's thigh with an expression of unprecedented fear, but looked at Wen Zhan and said, "Father... father emperor, no, my son was wronged, Mr. Du Ge was wronged, and Du Shilang was wronged too. The queen was wronged, all of this is not like this. It's not..."
The emperor stroked his hair slowly, with pain in his eyes, a feeling that he only understood after becoming a father.He must have thought his son was frightened mad.
"Don't be afraid, Yulan, don't be afraid of your son, with the emperor around, no one will do anything to you."
"No!" Yu Lan suddenly screamed, pointing at Wen Zhan, "Father, it's him, everything is him! He told his son that the eldest son of the emperor is not the father's biological son, and asked his son to investigate It was him, he was the one who gave Mr. Du Ge the account, saying that Cui Bicheng corrupted 1000 million taels of silver, and he asked Mr. Du Ge to thoroughly investigate Jiangnan! It was also he who stole the soldier talisman and gave it to Pei Rong to assist the queen in mobilizing troops. , but who would have thought that at the most critical moment, all the soldiers and horses would be replaced by Pei Tan's men... It's still him, it's still him... He said that the father's health was getting worse day by day, and he asked his son to secretly find someone to find him. There is a prescription,... It is said that it is good to let the father be sick, as long as the father ignores the government affairs, the father will not investigate the Du family's black account, and will not abolish his son..."
The emperor's voice was soft and soft, and he asked Yu Lan carefully, "Did Wen Zhan ask you to do these?"
"..." Then he trembled and said softly, "Yes..."
Snapped! ——
A ruthless slap hit Yu Lan's face, and the corner of Yu Lan's mouth was covered with blood.
"You dare to do it without telling me?!"
After a long while, Yu Lan rolled over, hugged the emperor's leg and continued to cry, "Father, my son was wrong, my son knew it was wrong, father,... father..."
"Li Fang! Li Fang! You send the third child... to Prince Jia's Mansion, order him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes, and don't allow him to see any guests!"
"Yes."
As soon as Li Fang heard that there was a great relationship here, she hurried over and called Lu Zhi, and the two of them dragged and dragged Yu Lan away.
In the huge main hall of Dazheng Palace, there are only me, the emperor, and Wen Zhan.
Wen Zhan didn't raise his head, he lowered his head, calmly, suddenly the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was a treacherous smile on the edge of his lips, like a beautiful white jade mask, which was forcibly torn open.
He kowtowed impeccably, "Father."
Wen Zhan did not defend himself at all.
The emperor stopped talking.
After a long, long time, the emperor said in a weary voice, "Those who achieve great things can kill their closest relatives. From Cui Bicheng, to the huge case in the south of the Yangtze River, the private account of the Du family, and then I was poisoned and comatose, the empress took power, and even Chengyi's life experience You can also use it to make a fuss. On the surface, you joined forces with me to show weakness by taking advantage of my poisoning, and wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but secretly you instigated the Pei family to take power. You are really the Buddha, and you are the ghost!"
The more I listened, the more frightened I became.
I looked sideways at Wen Zhan, like looking at an evil ghost.
The emperor sneered, "What a prince! Over the past few years, he has set up a network of heaven and earth, worked every step of the way, and counted every step of the way. What kind of scheming is this? I was wrong. Originally, I only wanted to use Du Yu to hone you. Who would have thought of his 20-year cardinal minister?" , the Du family is a former official of the whole dynasty, and the Pei family is vulnerable in front of you. With a son like you, even if I die, I can still meet the ancestors of Dazheng with a smile on my face. "
Wen Zhan didn't speak, just kneeling upright.
The emperor suddenly said sadly, "In this world, you are alone, you are called lonely,..."
The prince replied, "No, I am not alone, I still have him,... and only him."
I saw Wen Zhan looking at me, and suddenly he smiled, lightly, like a green lotus in the world of mortals.
In the 31st year of Fenghua, the rebellion dispute in July came to an end.
The current emperor only had three grown-up princes in the world. After this battle, I was deposed as a commoner. King Jia Yulan was imprisoned because he was implicated in treason and felony. The remaining prince is Prince Wen Zhan.
He is the only one.
Only he is the final victor.
Fengmo's chaos is simply unpredictable, and there are many treacherous and murderous intentions in it.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole follows behind,
Who is whose knife and who is whose fish?
