History of Yongwu

Chapter 429 Predecessor 05 - Heart of Stone

The morning light had just come on, illuminating the glazed tiles of the Jinhua Hall. The Empress sat on the top of the imperial steps in a brocade robe painted with golden phoenixes.

"What does the queen think?"

"The prince broke the law." The queen looked at Qin Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Same crime as the common people"

"The empress supervises the harem and has the responsibility to educate the princes. I will leave this matter to the empress."

The queen's eyelids twitched slightly, and she waved her hand and said, "The sixth prince, Qin Yu, has injured a noble son, blamed others, and still doesn't know how to repent, and intends to rob the prison. Chu Cui brings the ruler."

Chu Cui hesitated for a moment, but still took the ruler, the queen pointed down, and said in a calm voice, "Come on, hold him down, Chu Cui will follow the palace rules"

"Your Majesty" Sima Shaojun knelt down, stopped Chu Cui and said, "Your Majesty the Sixth Highness is young and doesn't know the seriousness, and I already know my mistake. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"State-owned and national laws don't vary from person to person." Emperor Ming looked at Qin Yu, and said softly, "Yu'er, I'll ask you again, did you really bring □□?"

"It's my son," Qin Yu said with his head bowed.

"Chu Cui!" The queen scolded.

Snapped!The long ruler fell down and slammed on Qin Yu's back. Sima Shaojun's pupils shrank, as if the ruler had been drawn on his heart. He slightly raised his head to look at the imperial steps. Under the sun, Emperor Ming and the Empress were both expressionless, as if The person below has nothing to do with me.

"Your Majesty, it is..."

"Shaoyun!"

Qin Yu suddenly raised his head to look at him, Sima Shaojun met his gaze and clenched his fists tightly.Your Highness, perhaps they are not worthy of your protection!

Standing aside, Qin Zheng saw the behavior of Dian Chenghou slightly frowned, and his gaze shifted to Qin Yu again. He sneered, the empress had a good plan, and wanted to poison Dian Chenghou to death, and blame Jingwei Jiang Shugong to avenge her personal revenge, and took the opportunity to get rid of him. The person who lost his father and let his nephew Lin Feng take over, unexpectedly, the plan fell on his own son.

The sun rose little by little, Qin Yu swayed, Sima Shaojun supported him, and grabbed the ruler from Chu Cui's hand.

"Your Majesty, human relations and family affection, please have mercy on Your Majesty"

"Flesh and blood, I can't bear it." Emperor Ming looked at him, then stared at Qin Yu and said, "But you are not only my son, but also a minister. As a minister and son, you must not hide the truth from your father, otherwise you will be disloyal and unfilial."

"Son...convicted"

Emperor Ming's eyelids twitched, and as soon as he raised his hand, the palace man next to him grabbed the ruler and held it up high. Just as he was about to fall, someone stopped him, and the ruler flew to the ground.

"mother concubine"

Qin Yu turned his head to the side, Concubine Yue's eyes were full of tears, standing in the sun and looking at him, his nose was sore, he fell to one side, and was hugged by Concubine Yue.

"Mother and concubine, my son has caused trouble again" he whispered next to Concubine Yue.

"It's okay" It's not your fault this time.

Concubine Yue turned her head to look over there, hugged Qin Yu and knelt down, "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

"My concubine, what is this for?"

"Wenhe's fault is because I have no way to teach my son." The noble concubine Yue hugged Qin Yu tightly, and looked up at the two people on the imperial steps. "The noble concubine Yue, please punish me together."

"Your Majesty, Yu'er also knew that he was wrong, because he was young and ignorant, please forgive him this time." The Queen got up and saluted.

Emperor Ming looked at her, and said with a light smile, "The queen manages the harem strictly. I've always been at ease, so I'll just listen to the queen."

Walking down the imperial steps, Emperor Ming looked at Concubine Yue and Qin Yu in her arms, his expression changed slightly, and he left quickly.

"Concubine resigns"

Concubine Yue helped Qin Yu up, the queen looked at her, moved her lips but said nothing, and watched the two leave and return to the main hall.

"Empress Empress"

"Zhilan?" The queen turned around abruptly, "What's wrong?"

"The imperial concubine asked the slaves to come over." Zhilan lowered her head and said coldly between her brows, "The Sixth Highness said that he traded himself for the safety of General Lin Feng. Please spare Lord Mu as well."

Showa-dono

"Father, let's forget it," Qin Zheng said unwillingly.

"Are you really going to kill your sixth younger brother?" Emperor Ming showed exhaustion on his face, thinking about the scenes of the Jinhua Palace, rubbing his brows in confusion "Besides, even if the empress is hard-hearted, she will not really do anything to Yuer But today she has offended the Yue clan, and it will save the Yue clan from interfering in the future, which will cause more trouble."

"I know." Qin Zheng collected his expression.

Emperor Ming looked at him again, and suddenly said, "You...have a fancy for Dian Chenghou?"

"Father, son knows his mistakes"

Emperor Ming snorted, and said for a while, "Although Lin Yun is dead, the Qing Party is still powerful. You will still need to win over the Qing Party in the future, but the Lin faction may not be loyal to you. If we can really get things done with Diancheng Hou, we should be able to win over some of them and weaken the influence of the Qing Party in the government.”

"My son remembers"

Emerald Palace

Qin Yu lay on the bed, looked at Xiao Fuzi who was kneeling beside him and asked, "Did you tell concubine mother?"

"It's the imperial concubine who is worried about His Highness, and if the slaves don't go, the empress will definitely go to save His Highness when she hears about it."

"It's my fault." Qin Yu sighed, lay down on the bed and stopped talking, Xiao Fuzi smiled when he saw this, and gave the medicine bowl, "His Royal Highness, drink the medicine."

"..."

"Your Majesty is worried about His Highness's injury, and His Highness takes the medicine well to be considerate of your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

Xiao Fuzi kept bringing the medicine bowl to his mouth, Qin Yu frowned, pinched his nose, and rarely drank it all in one sitting.

The door curtain rang, Qin Yu looked up and saw the person entering the door, a smile appeared on his mournful face, "Shaoyun"

"Slave resigns" Xiao Fuzi left with a medicine bowl.

"Your Highness" Sima Shaojun quickly walked in front of him, crouched in front of the bed and looked at him, "Why are you so impulsive?"

"Hey, it's okay." Qin Yu blinked at him, "Aunt Chu couldn't bear to hit me hard."

"if··"

"No if." Qin Yu tilted his head, grabbed his hand and said, "After all, I am His Majesty's son. As long as I don't seek rebellion, I will never worry about my life. I have a sense of proportion."

Sima Shaojun liked the smiling face of His Highness the Sixth Highness, whenever he saw it, it made him happy, but today it made him uncomfortable, he took his hand and looked at the back of his hand.

"Your Highness, do you know why General Lin is in prison?"

"I know" Sima Shaojun raised his head in surprise, His Highness Six was still smiling, his eyes became clearer, and he said to him, "I know what the queen mother is going to do, Jingwei is very important, but... these have nothing to do with us, We don't have to stir it in, you don't have to stir it in"

But I was always in the whirlpool, from beginning to end!Sima Shaojun didn't dare to look at him anymore, and lowered his head slightly, his forehead resting on the back of his hand.

"Shaoyun" Qin Yu leaned closer and stuck to his ear, "I will protect you forever, no one can hurt you"

Turning his head slightly, Sima Shaojun suddenly approached him, closed his eyes and kissed him.Your Highness, I think there will never be another person in this world who is as stupid as you, but also as good.

"Shaoyun"

Qin Yu's eyes widened, and his brain went blank from the momentary shock of surprise. When he came back to his senses, Lord Mu had already blushed and ran out.

Hehe... His Highness the Sixth Highness touched his lips, forgetting that he was injured, and grinning like a carp slumped!

"Ouch!"

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Fuzi hurried in.

"It's a good thing, I won't tell you." Qin Yu lay on the pillow and smirked.

Injured like this, yet still smiling so happily, this little Marquis of the Mu Mansion is really a good medicine, Xiao Fuzi shook his head and retreated, leaving His Highness the Sixth Highness to be happy in the room alone.

A few months later

"Let's get ready, it's time for us to go back," Sima Shaojun said while sitting by the window with his back to Chang Shen.

"Your Highness, Emperor Beiyong is seriously ill, why should we go back now..."

"It is because Emperor Beiyong is seriously ill that we can go back. Yongjing is peaceful and quiet. When we go back, we will only give others an excuse to kill us. Now that Beiyong is in chaos, your Majesty cannot be harsh when we go back. I will stay in Beiyong within three years. There is war, there is no profit for us to stay here, only by returning to the bright moon can we win the world, the imperial court is useless, if you want to compete for attention, look far away, this world is very big"

"Yes" Chang Shen bowed and accepted the order.

Since the incident last time, the Queen has already realized the identity of His Highness, and it is really difficult to stay here. There is civil strife in Beiyong, and if Mingyue wants to wait for the opportunity, he needs His Highness who knows the kings of Beiyong well. At that time, His Highness will definitely jump and become A person who can compete with Li Wang and Yu Wang in the court.

"Your Highness" often thinks deeply about what happened last time, seeing that he couldn't help but say, "Maybe this matter shouldn't be mentioned in a lowly position, but you want to leave, the sixth prince..."

Sima Shaojun turned around, and Chang Shen shut his mouth quickly. He stared at Chang Shen for a while, and said lightly, "Chang Shen, you really shouldn't mention this matter."

"Humble position and fear" often knelt down deeply.

"Let's get ready, King Li should be more careful, don't let him see the tricks"

Chang Shen retreated, and Sima Shaojun stood in front of the window. It was very cold in Yongjing in November, and snow piled up on the eaves of every house. He looked deep into the east of the city, took a deep breath, and let the cold air fill his chest .

His Royal Highness the Sixth should be sad, but he deserves someone better, I'm always a liar.

In front of the palace gate, Sima Shaojun saw Qin Yu coming out wrapped in a sable cloak and greeted him, "Your Highness"

"Shaoyun, why are you here?" Qin Yu asked in surprise.

"Get in the car and tell me, it's cold outside." Sima Shaojun pulled him into the car, saw his face flushed from the cold, and said, "It's so cold, Your Highness shouldn't be riding a horse."

"understood"

"How is Your Majesty?"

Uh... Qin Yu frowned, and the smile on his face faded away, "I went into the palace to inquire about illnesses, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony was closed. Except for the eldest brother and a few important officials, the father didn't see anyone, and I didn't know."

"The matter has come to this, His Highness must be lenient"

"I know" Qin Yu smiled, and still sighed softly, "Father usually doesn't pay much attention to me, but suddenly hearing that Father is seriously ill, I'm still a little sad."

Sima Shaojun didn't speak again, just took his hand and smiled softly at him.

"Your Highness" Sima Shaojun looked out of the window, turned to him and said "here we are"

Qin Yu sat in the car without moving, looked at him and said, "It's better in the past, I can live in your house, but now that I have grown up, I can't, otherwise, if the gossip in Beijing spreads to my concubine, it will take me a few more days." can not see you"

Sima Shaojun smiled, with bitterness in his heart, he pulled him out of the car, His Highness Six stood at the door, holding his hand still, he looked about to persuade him, His Highness Six pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Shaoyun, wait... After this, I will ask my mother to give me a marriage. We will never be separated again when we go to another place, okay?"

Sima Shaojun buried himself in his neck, his arms tightened vigorously, his lips trembled for a long time, but he finally didn't say the answer.

Qin Yu's hand caressed his back, leaned against him and said, "I'll wait for you to promise me"

His Highness the Sixth Prince left, Sima Shaojun watched his figure until the gate was closed, until the snowflakes fell.

That was the last time he saw His Highness the Sixth Highness before he went completely into the darkness, and it was also the last time he saw the Sixth Highness who was as bright as the sun. In the years that followed, they ran in opposite directions and both walked towards the whirlpool.

The twelfth lunar month of the 31st year of Yuanshou

In the southern suburb of Yongjing, Sima Shaojun was sitting in the carriage, and Chang Shen was sitting beside him, looking out of the window with the curtain raised, his eyebrows very serious.

"Your Highness, Tianshun Pass is heavily guarded, can we go there?"

"We don't go to Tianshun Pass." Sima Shaojun also looked out of the car window and replied, "Leave from Anyang County, which is under the jurisdiction of the king of Anyang County. There are no people around the court"

"Is there any change in Beijing?" Sima Shaojun asked again.

"No, the empress is busy competing with Qin Zheng's party for the position, so she can't take care of much at this time"

That's good... Sima Shaojun nodded, as the north wind blew across the ground, he looked at the snowflakes that were blown into the air, and thought of the Sixth Highness who had promised to wait for him in the snow.

Xi'er, Xi'er... The war horse neighed, and Sima Shaojun's carriage shook and was thrown sideways.

"Your Highness!" Chang Shen supported Sima Shaojun and jumped out of the carriage.

A group of people in front of them blocked the way with long knives, and the leader raised the blade to Chang Shen, and said sternly, "Chang Shen, how dare you betray King Li and Chang Clan, the Patriarch sent me to clean up the house!"

"Stop them," Chang said in a low voice, picked up Sima Shaojun, jumped on the horse and continued to gallop south.

call out!A feather flew over and plunged into Chang Shen's back, he swayed and held the rein tightly "Fei Ying" he looked aside with difficulty "Protect Your Highness"

"My lord" Fei Ying's eyes widened.

"Your Highness" Chang Shen turned his head, looked at Sima Shaojun and said, "I have a son named Chang Rong, Your Highness is not something in a pond... If you want to win the world, don't forget the oath you made that day"

Sima Shaojun's face was tense, he nodded at him and said "I promise you"

Chang gritted his teeth deeply, pulled his body, and threw him onto Fei Ying's horse. Seeing the two running away, he reined in to meet the assassin who was chasing him.

Woohoo... The wind blew lowly. Fei Ying turned around a forest and faced a black figure. Before he could see the person clearly, he was hit on the chest with a palm and flew out.

"You!" Sima Shaojun was about to speak when he was knocked unconscious by someone's palm, and quickly left with his shoulders on his shoulders.

Royal Palace

Qin Zheng was looking at the palace, and turned his eyes back to look at the person opposite, "Empress...or Empress Dowager? You lost."

"It seems now" the queen looked at him and said "yes" with a blank face

Ha ha... Qin Zheng smiled, the coldness in his eyes flashed away, and he said to her, "What's your opinion?"

"You are right. I will eventually become the Empress Dowager. Sooner or later, the military power of the Fenglin Army will fall into my hands. There are still many people in the Lin family and the Qing Party who obey me. It is very difficult for you to get rid of all these. You need a chance"

"That's right." Qin Zheng nodded and asked, "Where is the opportunity?"

"Marquis of Diancheng" Qin Zheng didn't answer, the queen looked at him, Gogou sneered and said, "Don't say it, you have no ambitions for him"

"No, I was just thinking, Diancheng Hou... is the heart of the sixth younger brother." Qin Zheng stared at her.

The queen clenched her palms tightly and looked up at him "he will figure it out"

"So cruel." Qin Zheng shook his head with emotion, looked at her and asked, "What do you want?"

"My son left Beijing safely"

"Qin Hao?"

Queen "Bengong" solemnly said "I have two sons"

Hahaha... Qin Zheng laughed for a while, then stopped the smile for a while, and said coldly, "It's a bit less polite for a city official in Dian"

"As long as Hao'er and Yu'er can leave Beijing safely, I will give you the Fenglin military power, and the Lin family will no longer interfere with the purge of the party. Everything depends on whether you can win people's hearts."

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "What if I don't agree?"

"Hao'er is still supported by many people in Beijing, so you are so confident that you will be safe? Your Royal Highness...Let's look at the Ming Dynasty, who will win and who will lose?" The Queen's eyes were cold and determined, her face still expressionless.

Qin Zheng looked at her, nodded for a long time and said, "It makes sense, how can I trust your sincerity?"

"This is the Diecui Palace, and the Marquis of Diancheng is inside the palace." The queen stood outside the door, gently opened the door and said to him, "Your Majesty"

"Thank you queen"

The palace door was closed, and the queen walked out of the palace step by step. There was a loud bang, she stopped, and looked back at the palace gate. There were loud laughter and roars in the palace, and she remembered Qin Yu's chubby face when he was young.

"The mother, the son wants to invite the Marquis of Diancheng to be his son's companion"
