Until the chair creaked and the emperor pulled it to the bedside, he sat down with a calm expression: "It seems that you knew from the beginning that I told you in front of the general that as long as you put on this mask, there will be no more father and son."
, only monarchs and ministers, what does it mean?"
Chu Yurong still remembers what happened a few years ago very clearly, and even remembers the scene where General Iron Mask suddenly became violent.
The camp was tense and chaotic, and the Chinese army's tent was sealed. General Iron Mask was left with only him, Wang Xian, and the general's lieutenants.
But it was too sudden and too panicked at that time, and it still failed to prevent the news from leaking. The atmosphere in the military camp was unstable, and the news was also reported to the palace. Wang Xian said that he could not hide it, the deputy general said that he could not hide it, and the iron-faced general was already delirious.
After hearing their argument, he held on to his hand and repeatedly murmured "Don't miss the mark."
He understood what the general meant. The general must not fall at this time, otherwise the court's ten years of hard work would be in vain.
what to do?
Then when he heard that the emperor was coming, he knew that this was an opportunity to put the news to rest completely. He asked Wang Xian to dye his hair white, put on the old clothes of the Iron Mask General, and said to the general: "The general will never
Leave." Then he took off the mask from the Iron Masked General's face and put it on his own face.
The moment he put on the mask, the Iron Mask General loosened his grip in front of him, his round eyes slowly closed, and an unprecedented relaxed smile appeared on his scarred and ferocious face.
Thinking of that moment, Chu Yurong raised his head and a smile appeared on his lips, making the cell brighter for a moment.
"Father, at that time it seemed that I had no choice but to do something in a very panic situation." He said, "But it is not actually the case. It can be said that from the beginning when I followed the general, I had already done it.
Now that I have made a choice, I also know what it means to be not a prince but to hold military power."
Any general who holds a large number of troops will be both trusted and tabooed by the emperor.
The Iron Mask General is no exception.
The emperor's son is no exception, especially the youngest son.
When he did this, the emperor's first thought was not to be happy but to think, would such a prince threaten the prince?
Brothers, fathers and sons, trapped in blood and family ties, there are many things that are not easy to openly quarrel with. But if you are a monarch and a minister, and the minister threatens you, you don’t even need to threaten. As long as you are suspicious and dissatisfied, you can deal with the minister. If you want the minister, you will die.
Can't help but die.
So after the emperor entered the camp and saw what happened, he sat in front of the corpse of the iron-faced general and asked this question first.
"I will let you choose for yourself." The emperor said, "If you choose for yourself, don't regret it in the future."
In the future, don’t blame me or the future king for being ruthless.
Chu Yurong said: "I have never regretted it. I know what I am doing and what I want. Likewise, I also know what I cannot do and what I cannot want. So now the affairs of the princes are over, the world is at peace, and the prince will soon be established."
, Erchen has also lost his youthfulness. He has been a general for a long time, and he really thinks that he is really an iron-faced general. But in fact, he has no meritorious achievements. Erchen has been invincible in recent years, and he is an iron-faced general.
After decades of accumulated illustrious military exploits, I just stood on his shoulders and became a giant, not that I am a giant."
The emperor listened to him quietly, his eyes falling on the dancing bean lanterns beside him.
"Father, if the iron-faced general is rude in front of you and the prince, you will not be angry. That's what he deserves, but I can't." Chu Yurong said, "When I was last time
After reprimanding the prince in front of your majesty, I was also shocked. I really disrespected the prince and my father in my eyes."
He was the only one who dared to say this. The emperor looked at Dou Deng and smiled: "You are honest."
Chu Yurong also smiled: "People still have to be honest with themselves, otherwise, they will be blind and confused and unable to see the road. I have been marching and fighting for so many years because of my honesty, so that I can not disgrace the general's reputation."
The emperor didn't speak anymore, as if he wanted to give him a chance to speak.
Chu Yurong then continued, his eyes bright and frank: "So I know it's time to end it, otherwise my son can't do it anymore, and I can't do it either. I don't want to die yet, I want to have a good life."
Live and live happily."
The emperor looked at him: "Why didn't you say these things before? Do you think I am an unreasonable person?"
Chu Yurong shook his head: "It is precisely because my father is a reasonable person that I cannot bully my father. This matter is my fault. It is my own fault to become the iron-faced general. It is also my own fault not to be the iron-faced general."
I advocate that my father has been helpless and passive from the beginning to the end. Whether he is a minister or a son, Your Majesty should give him a good beating and hold it in his heart. Your Majesty is too pitiful."
The emperor sighed, stretched out his hand and nodded his head: "I don't need you to pity me!"
The emperor was so angry that he spoke without restraint, and even uttered folk sayings such as Lao Tzu.
Chu Yurong smiled and kowtowed: "Yes, the boy deserves to be beaten."
The emperor looked at the young man with white hair mixed with black hair. Because he leaned over, his bare back was in front of him, and the wounds from the cane were crisscrossed.
"Chu Yurong," the emperor said, "I remember asking you what you want after everything is over. You said you wanted to leave the imperial city and travel freely between heaven and earth. Do you still want this now?"
Chu Yurong thought about it seriously: "Er Chen was playful at that time and thought that after having enough fun in the military camp, he would go further to do more interesting things. But now, Er Chen feels that it is fun in his heart.
As long as you have fun in your heart, you can still have fun even in this cell."
The emperor looked at the cell. It was clean and tidy, and there was a tea table and a rocking chair, but he didn't see anything interesting.
So, he doesn't plan to leave?
"Yes, I don't want to leave, I want to stay with my father." Chu Yurong said.
That's also very good. It is only natural for a son to stay with his father. The emperor nodded, but his request has changed, so let's give him other rewards. He is not a harsh father to his children.
The emperor looked at him condescendingly: "What reward do you want?"
Chu Yurong did not refuse and raised his head: "I want your father to forgive me and treat Miss Danzhu tolerantly."
...
...
No one could hear what the people inside were saying outside the cell, but when the tables and chairs were pushed away, the noise could still be heard.
Wang Xian, who had been looking inside, hurriedly called to Eunuch Jinzhong, "The fight is about to begin."
Eunuch Jinzhong said helplessly: "Doctor Wang, if you don't run away now, you won't be able to run away when His Majesty comes out later."
When Wang Xian wanted to say something, he immediately turned around and ran away with his ears pricked up to listen.
Eunuch Jinzhong opened his mouth, angry and amused, he hurriedly composed his expression and lowered his head. The emperor quickly walked out of the dark cell, a gust of wind blew past him, and eunuch Jinzhong hurriedly followed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." He persuaded softly, "Don't be angry, don't be angry."
The emperor stopped and pointed to the cell behind him with an annoyed look: "This boy - how could I give birth to such a son?"
Eunuch Jinzhong said: "The nine sons of Longsheng are all different. This is not your Majesty's fault - what happened to the Sixth Highness? After being beaten, there is no progress at all?"
The emperor sneered: "To make progress? He still has to push further and ask for something from me."
Eunuch Jinzhong asked curiously: "What does he want?" What made the emperor so angry?
The emperor was not only angry, he was so nervous that he heard, "Father, I want Miss Danzhu."
Oh, oh, oh, really, the emperor stretched out his hand and pressed his heart, it scared him to death!
