As the crown prince, the third prince needs to consider the issue of filial piety and respect between brothers and sisters, so he cannot say bad words to the second prince who clearly has no feelings. The fourth prince, a naughty boy, found that his father seemed quite sad, so he knew that he was very sad.
He was prone to saying the wrong things and wisely kept his mouth shut, but Zhu Ying had no such scruples.
Being clear about love and hate is her biggest purpose in dealing with people. Even if she is really the daughter of the emperor and Concubine Yu, the second prince has a grudge against her. She doesn't want to pretend to shed tears and accompany the emperor to be sad. She is not the third prince.
Such a good son!
After breaking through this layer of window paper, she saw that the father and son in front of her all had stiff expressions. She immediately relaxed and said, "The second prince has been at odds with me since he was a child, but he can't beat me in a fight or quarrel with me.
I have crushed all my plots and schemes with force, so he is the only one who has ever been sorry to me, but I have never been sorry to him! And what about you, the emperor, have you ever been sorry to him?"
"It's not like you haven't thought about teaching them personally, but in the end, weren't they all blocked by the queen...the deposed queen? Not to mention the third and fourth princes, who would go with the elder brother who always bullies them and despises them?
Do you have feelings? Your Majesty just heard the news and probably feels that you have been too cruel to the second prince and even the eldest prince, but what about the people who have been harmed by them? "
"Oh, the eldest prince has harmed a lot of people in Cangzhou. The second prince is just making trouble in his own territory. At most, he can only kill a few servants. He also speaks ill of Lu Sanlang's current wife in the street and stirs up a lot of trouble.
It's a farce. I just wanted to reconcile with the deposed queen, but it was just a joke about poisoning Kunning Palace. But if the mother and son were not suspicious, how could it be like this? "
"To be honest, the more innocent people are the people who may have been buried with him on that boat!"
"shut up!"
Hearing the emperor's low roar, the third prince, who was shocked by Zhu Ying's bold words just now, trembled. He hurriedly added another hand, pressed the back of the emperor's hand, and urged: "Father, the emperor
, Sister Yingying, she has always said what she says, so please don’t blame her, she doesn’t mean any harm!”
The fourth prince also reacted and quickly helped: "Yes, father, sister Yingying was bullied by the eldest brother and the second brother together. If she hadn't been so powerful, she would have been bullied! She was just telling the truth.
,Father, please don’t be angry!”
Seeing that the two brothers were trying their best to speak for themselves, Zhu Ying's face suddenly showed a sarcastic smile, and then she bowed her knees very casually and said: "If the emperor is not happy with what I said, I will accept the scolding and punishment later, but I
I didn’t say anything wrong, so I will never admit it! It’s late at night, and I have to go to court tomorrow, so please don’t stay up late and tire yourself out. Not to mention..."
She straightened up, glanced at the two little guys who were nervous, as if they were afraid that she would continue to speak shockingly, but she waved her hands and said: "What's more, the third prince and the fourth prince now have heavy schoolwork. Going to bed late and getting up late is not good for them."
If you are not in good health, it will be even worse for their studies! Moreover, they are the ones who are really worried about you. I am resigning!"
Seeing Zhu Ying talking to herself, she turned around and walked out. The third and fourth princes were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to stop her or let her go.
The fourth prince always acted impulsively, and now he wanted to chase Zhu Ying as soon as he let go. But as soon as he took a step away, someone grabbed him by the collar. Annoyed, he turned around and found that it was not his third brother, but his father.
Huang, he immediately stood still. But when Zhu Ying left the door, he couldn't help but take two steps back and asked in a low voice: "Really let sister Yingying leave like this?"
"Your father was almost scolded by her, so you want to chase her back so that I can continue to be scolded?"
The emperor glared at the naughty boy with a stern face. When he saw that the person was silent, he let go of his hand and let him run away and hide behind the third prince. Then he said angrily: "My aunt said when she entered the palace before.
I was left speechless. Now that Yingying is better than her master, she has given me a slap in the face! She has really entered the Zhu family, and everything she does is the Zhu family's temperament!"
The third prince realized that the emperor was not as angry as he thought. He couldn't help but muster the courage to say: "Father, some of what sister Yingying said just now is not unreasonable. This matter needs to be investigated, but it must be investigated as soon as possible.
There is a result. Otherwise, someone will definitely talk nonsense and slander the reputation of my father."
"I don't have a good reputation to begin with." The emperor laughed self-deprecatingly, "When I was the prince, I had a reputation for being naughty. It is incomparable with your diligence, studious, gentleness and courtesy now. So, my reputation doesn't matter, you
But my reputation cannot be damaged. I even thought before about whether to simply admit that I was the one who sank the ship halfway..."
"Father!" This time, it was the third prince who exclaimed. His face was so pale that his teeth were chattering. After a long while, he shouted with all his strength, "Father, how can you think like this! I am the prince."
For a few days, reputation doesn’t matter, and as the emperor, how can my father slander his own reputation? Moreover, what will the surviving family members of the captain, boatmen and sailors on that ship think?”
"Yeah, I also thought about those innocent victims, and just realized that I can't take the blame... It wasn't me in the first place, so why should I take the blame!"
The emperor smiled, but he rubbed the third prince's head hard twice. Seeing the fourth prince sticking his head out from behind the third prince, he gave a thumbs up and shook his head. He didn't know that he was praising his father.
, he couldn't help but feel a little funny when he praised the third prince as his elder brother.
"But I have already thought about it. I will announce the death of your second brother later and tell the world that he is dead."
When he said this, the emperor's expression turned cold and his eyes were cold: "Since he didn't do any good things when he was alive, don't cause messy troubles now because he is alive and dead. If someone really saves him,
If he is sent to the capital, then I can naturally retaliate. But if someone comes out to cause trouble in his name again in the future..."
"Then, if you pretend to be a prince, you will be killed without mercy!"
Faced with such a murderous tone from his father, the fourth prince suddenly shuddered, but the third prince couldn't help but asked: "But if the father said that the second brother...the second brother was dead, how could others send him to Beijing?
If he goes to the government for help..."
Hearing the word "death" in a very soft voice, as if he thought it was unlucky to say it like this, the emperor glanced at his prince angrily and amusedly, but shook his head and said: "If the shipwreck was an accident, then his chances of surviving
Very small. If the shipwreck is a conspiracy, then there are two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that if someone wants to kill him, then there is absolutely no way he will survive. In the fatal environment at sea, even a good swimmer has to rely on luck to survive, let alone him? It can be said that he almost
It’s just that he’s dead.”
"As for the second possibility, if others make such a big fuss to save him, then they will naturally rescue him. After he is rescued, he will never be sent to the capital. No matter whether he becomes the king of the mountain or the bandit of the fallen grass, he rises up.
There will always be corresponding news when the time comes. I will be the first to say that the person is dead, so that the local government and the garrison will have less scruples in the future when they are clearing or suppressing!"
This time, the third prince truly felt chilled all over. If it weren't for the fourth prince pressing his shoulders from behind, he had always been well protected by his father. In the past, he would have been bullied by his aunt and two brothers.
He almost felt a little unsteady on his feet. He suddenly understood the meaning of what his father said to him and what Zhang Shou said to him.
He understood better what they meant by reminding him all the time, asking him to treat his fourth brother well.
It turns out that sometimes even if you don't seek death, there are still many malicious eyes staring at you, and there are many malicious black hands ready to reach out anytime and anywhere! If the second prince really falls into the hands of these people, then it is really better to die!
The emperor said something else next. The third prince was already a little confused. Most of the time he just reacted passively. It wasn't until he resigned that he was slightly shocked. But because the fourth prince pulled him, he didn't say much in the end.
What, it wasn't until he walked out of the main hall of Qianqing Palace and felt the cold wind blowing on his face that he finally woke up.
The emperor saw the changes of the third prince before and after, but he did not continue to beat or remind him. It was not until the brothers left and he sat on the throne that he sighed softly. After a long time, he heard Hua Qi's words.
Voice: "Your Majesty, just after the Dowager Queen and Mrs. Zhao Guo went to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother went to Xian'an Palace to meet Concubine Jing."
For such an unexpected incident, the emperor no longer reacted too fiercely. He sneered listlessly: "The queen mother is not going to kill the concubine to clean up the mess for me, right?"
He originally just said it casually, but when he realized that Hua Qi didn't answer, he immediately became frightened and angry again. But before he could ask sternly, Hua Qi had already told the Queen Mother the last words she said to Concubine Jing before she left.
After repeating it once more, the emperor sighed deeply and feebly.
The Queen Mother may have just casually passed the blame on the Empress and the eldest prince. Maybe there is really relevant evidence, but at this point, it is no longer interesting to find out whether it is true or false.
Since he abolished the queen and chased the son, or to be more precise, after abandoning the eldest son and establishing a young son, he has no other choice. Just like the ear-splitting words of the madam, since he does not regret having established the third prince, then
Faced with this sudden incident, he could only react in one way.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word: "I remember that I told Chu Kuan before to look through the books and see what the ceremony for the conferment of the imperial concubine was like. I think with his initiative in doing things, the corresponding books should be
I've read it all. There is almost no difference between the imperial concubine's crown and the imperial concubine's attire. As long as all the etiquette is in line with etiquette, the concubine's canonization ceremony can be held someday."
Previously, the emperor decided not to establish a queen, and even let the news out, and finally promoted two noble concubines. Hua Qi naturally knew that the emperor was not willing to invoke the ancient etiquette that children are valued by mothers, and mothers are valued by sons.
But at this juncture, the emperor suddenly wants to add Concubine He to the imperial concubine. So, it is clearly to put an end to the public opinion, and no longer put his own likes and dislikes first. After all, Concubine He is really not a favorite.
.
"I will go to Ciqing Palace immediately." After agreeing solemnly and solemnly, Hua Qi said in a deep voice, "When the second prince set off from Tianjin, there was indeed only one boat. It is said that that boat was two thousand pieces of water.
The ship has an auspicious name and can carry a lot of people. There is also a small boat on the ship just in case. There are a total of 60 sergeants sent by Zhenhai Camp on board, and the captain has more than 40 sailors. "
"In addition to the miscellaneous entourage, there are probably one or two hundred people on the ship. The specific number of people is not very clear to me. Eunuch Chu probably knows better, but this matter is mainly entrusted to Zhenhai Camp. After all, Linhai Camp
There have been two incidents in the camp."
Regarding Hua Qi's explanation, the emperor did not ask any more questions, but waved his hand slightly, as if to indicate to the person to do something immediately. After the person disappeared quietly, the emperor smiled twice.
He almost thought that his mother had a plan to eliminate the hidden dangers for him, and then put the blame on the deposed empress. But then he thought about it again, if the empress dowager really wanted to do this, then the deposed empress and the eldest daughter would be in trouble.
The prince, second prince, mother and son would probably all die in the palace, and would not be released at all to leave any hidden dangers. He felt that he had thought too much.
But he really couldn't forget that when his father took his last breath, he was still crying in shock and confusion, but his mother had already wiped away her tears and went out to arrange everything. Then when managing state affairs, her methods were even more flexible and gentle.
The combination of toughness and toughness is dazzling, as if this day has been expected.
"The trees are still but the wind is not stopping... I want to see what kind of evil spirits are there!"
That night, from Duke Zhao's mansion to the palace, I don't know how many people stayed up all night, but this did not include Zhang Shou who had successfully made many people depressed today.
It was always best to sleep in the morning on a cold day. When Ah Liu woke him up, he was inevitably a little angry. After washing, Ah Liu Qiang pulled him outside to stretch out and dance for a quarter of an hour.
Sword - Although he felt that he would never be a swordsman in this life, let alone be able to defeat Zhu Ying, it did not prevent him from trying to hide a method of self-defense.
After breakfast, he dressed up and went to see Wu. When Zhang Shou took Ah Liu out to board the car, he unexpectedly found snow falling in the air, and under the wall in front of his house, there was a row of people standing in the snow, every few steps.
There is one in the distance, and a rough estimate is that there are twenty or thirty at least. Looking at the attire, it seems to be from the Ruiqi camp.
Seeing Zhang Shou turning to look at him, Ah Liu said simply and clearly: "They said they were following orders, and there is nothing else to comment on."
Thinking that there didn't seem to be any signs yesterday, Zhang Shou suddenly became very suspicious. But thinking about it again, no one came to intervene when he went out. He thought about it and then told the concierge: "Ask them later if they need hot soup and
If you want breakfast, you can bring it to them. If you can't because of their strict rules, then forget it."
After saying this, Zhang Shou immediately took Ah Liu to the car and sat down, then closed his eyes and rested his mind. No matter what he did, he just thought he was here to help him guard the house? If you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts.
Knock on the door and get a few more free doormen, and he will make money anyway!
