Why don't you stop the Wang family?

The answer to this question is not difficult to answer, but the emperor has not said it for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He just smiled and said: "After all, Wang Shizhong has made great contributions to me, and besides, he has always been a reasonable person, although his brother is a little delusional, but he has never deviated from his actions. It's impossible to realize their little thoughts, and I can only be sympathetic to the old ministers. As long as the Wang family doesn't act too much, I don't bother to deal with them. ”

Qin Bai looked at him, and suddenly asked again: "What happened to the prince's body? On the day of the queen mother's birthday, she didn't see Her Royal Highness appear, and there was already a lot of discussion outside." Does the emperor really not plan to tell the truth to his ministers? The reason why Zhao Jie, Zhao Shuo, Zhao Yan and others feel that they are expected to enter the royal family is also because the prince is weak and rarely appears in front of people, right?"

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he still smiled: "The third brother misunderstood, although the prince is still recuperating in his body, it is fine. On the Queen Mother's birthday, although he did not attend the palace banquet, he had privately congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday. If you don't believe it, just ask the Queen Mother?"

Qin Bai sighed: "Your Majesty, if the prince is really safe and sound, he will live in the palace, why have you refused to let the minister go to see him after the minister has been in Beijing for a few months? The minister and the prince are nephews and uncles, they are close relatives, and they have never seen the prince, and they have long been looking forward to meeting him." If the emperor refuses to allow it, how can the ministers not be suspicious in their hearts? What is it...... Don't you want the minister to see the prince, for fear that the minister and the eldest brother will generally be of no benefit to the prince, or do you ......" He paused and looked at the emperor, "The prince is not in the palace?"

The emperor's expression froze for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "Third brother, what are you talking about?"

Qin Bai lowered his eyes: "If you are not in the palace, but not far away, the emperor can tell the ministers and send them to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." But it can't even be done...... I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only not in the palace, but also not in the capital, right?"

The emperor coughed, and his eyes flashed: "There is no matter." Third brother, don't be cranky. ”

Qin Bai said lightly: "Is it possible that the emperor can't even trust the ministers? That's right, after all, the ministers have been away from Beijing for thirty years, and when they meet again, the ministers are already strangers in the eyes of the emperor." The minister brazenly claimed that he was the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he had not been to see him for 30 years, so what face did he have to say that he was his relative? In the emperor's heart, he must still be complaining about the minister. Ruochen has not been so stubborn over the years, and he has returned to Beijing to see his old people, so he won't have so many misunderstandings, right?"

The emperor sighed: "Third brother, why do you say such a thing? When I heard this, I felt very uncomfortable. You and I have been separated for many years, and we can meet again one day, I am truly happy. When the prince learned that you had returned to Beijing, he had been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, and I had absolutely no intention of stopping your nephew and uncle from seeing each other. ”

He hesitated for a while before he resolutely said, "Okay, you guessed right, the prince has already left the capital." Long before you arrived in the capital, he had already set off for Jiangnan. I heard that there are two famous doctors in Jiangnan, and their medical skills are very clever, thinking that the prince's illness has been diagnosed by the doctors for decades, but there has been no improvement, since the two famous doctors in Jiangnan have the reputation of the best apricot forest, it is better to let the prince give it a try. Originally, I wanted to summon those two famous doctors to Beijing, but then I heard that one of them was uncertain, and the other easily refused to leave his hometown, so I really wanted to summon them, and I don't know how long it would be delayed. Besides, the hospital has always had a bad habit, prescribing medicine to the nobles in the palace, paying attention to what kind of prescription to prescribe, not daring to take a little heavy medicine, eating is not good or bad, but it is not good for the condition. I asked the prince to go with Weifu, thinking that the two famous doctors didn't know his identity, so they shouldn't be perfunctory. ”

Qin Bai listened to the emperor in a daze, and didn't know how to respond for a while, and finally found his voice: "The emperor is too ...... Recklessly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have someone waiting to protect him? Your Highness has a noble status and has always been frail, how can you let him do the things of the White Dragon Fish Suit......?! Can local officials in Jiangnan know?!"

The emperor hesitated, shook his head, and said, "I only informed one of the confidant officials in Jinling City, and others didn't say much. That official is of very high rank, and he is enough to protect the prince. There were dozens of people accompanying the prince, both civil and military, and a imperial doctor followed, so it was expected that there should be no trouble. He said to Qin Bai implicitly, "There are several clans in Jinling City who have lived in the local area for a long time, and they are also connected to Beijing. I'm afraid that I'll leak the news, so I don't dare to let too many people know. ”

Qin Bai said with a straight face: "Since the emperor knows the risks, why does he want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take the risk? Although he is incognito, he may be able to hide from the ill-intentioned people in Beijing, but Xiao Xiao outside does not know his identity, so he knows that he will not harm him? No matter how many followers there are, there will inevitably be negligence. Your Majesty, you should be more cautious!"

The emperor laughed dryly, he actually knew that he was at a loss, but when he heard about the prestige of those two famous doctors in Jiangnan, he was really moved. In particular, the two famous doctors are rumored to have treated patients with similar conditions to the prince, and the effect is remarkable. If it weren't for this rumor, he would never let his only heir take this risk. But the crown prince was more resolute than him at that time, begging him to allow him to go south to seek medical treatment, and said: "Father, the son has already seen all the imperial doctors and famous doctors in the capital, and no one can cure the son of the minister." Rather than waiting for death, why don't you fight it? If you fight hard, no one can cure your son, and your son will admit it!"

Faced with his son's pleading gaze, the emperor could not refuse.

It's just that the prince's status is precious, and there are children of the clan who are looking forward to succeeding the royal family and becoming the new crown prince. These people don't say anything, but in their hearts they are afraid that they are all looking forward to his early death. In order to prevent someone from doing something rebellious, the emperor asked the prince to take his entourage and go south to conceal his identity, and only said that the prince went to the palace to recuperate. The crown princess Tang and the prince Liangdi Chen both helped cover up, and the queen mother was also very cooperative. They even managed to hide it from the concubines, not to mention the foreign ministers. Probably because the prince's health has deteriorated in the past two years, he rarely shows his face in public. So he has been gone for so long, and not many people are suspicious. Only Qin Bai, who was an uncle, was worried about his nephew in his heart, and he had to find out the truth when he had to get to the bottom of it.

The emperor said to Qin Bai: "In the past few months, the prince has already seen one of the famous doctors, and he has taken medicine for a while, saying that his body has improved. Although he has not recovered, he is much stronger than when he first went south. At present, the prince is staying in Jiangning, and wants to wait for another famous doctor to return from a trip. I heard that this one's medical skills are better than the previous one, and he has taught the previous one for a few years, maybe he can make the prince's body really improve? The prince has not shown up for a long time, which may attract suspicion from all sides, but that is only temporary. I am sitting in Beijing, and no one dares to say anything to my face. When the prince returns after finishing his illness and appears in front of people, those rumors will naturally be broken. ”

Qin Bai sighed: "The minister understands the emperor's intentions, but it's just ...... It's too risky. "I heard that the prince's nephew's trip was really useful, and his body had improved under the diagnosis and treatment of one of the famous doctors, and Qin Bai's tone softened a lot, "This other famous doctor doesn't know when he will be able to go back, and the prince will stay in Jiangning to continue to wait, but I don't know how long it will take? Jiangning is a little far from Jinling City......"

He lowered his head and thought for a while: "The minister's hometown is in Jiangning, and he hasn't been back for thirty years, and now that he has returned to the family, it is reasonable to go back to worship his ancestors." ”

The emperor was stunned: "Third brother, what do you mean ......"

Qin Bai raised his head: "The minister really doesn't worry about letting the prince go out alone. Since the crown prince was in Jiangning, the minister simply took a trip back to his hometown through the famous doctor who worshiped his ancestors. If we can meet with the crown prince, with the reputation of our Qin family, we will probably be able to deter Xiao Xiao and protect His Royal Highness the Prince. Since that famous doctor is sitting in Jiangning, there must be many people in his hometown who know about him, and the minister can find someone to help inquire about his whereabouts, rather than letting His Highness wait stupidly in the local area. Her Royal Highness does not attend the Queen Mother's birthday, and you can cover up the past. But if even the emperor's Halloween Day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not come forward, then the rumors will spread even more. In case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fails to return to Beijing by the end of the year, even the emperor will not be able to suppress the discussion of the people below. Even if it can be clarified afterwards, it is difficult to ensure that the person with a bad mind guesses that the prince is not in the palace, secretly probes the whereabouts of the prince, and waits for an opportunity to cause harm. Your Majesty, you must be on guard!"

The emperor was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "You are reasonable...... I was thinking too simply. At the beginning, I never thought that the crown prince would be delayed for such a long time when he went south, and he would only be able to return to Beijing before the queen mother's birthday. I never thought that a famous doctor would go out, and in order to wait for him, the prince dragged on until this time and did not return. He hesitated a little, "If you can go to Jiangning to take care of him, I will naturally be relieved." It's just that you yourself have been away from your hometown for many years, so you may not be able to get used to it. The capital is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, maybe when you get there, the prince has already returned to Beijing, and I don't know?"

Qin Bai smiled and said, "If that's the case, it's just a trip back to my hometown to worship my ancestors." It was supposed to be a part, not a trip in vain. If you don't hide it from the emperor, there is no such thing as a prince, and the minister originally planned to return to his hometown next year to worship his parents and ancestors. ”

The Emperor sighed, "In that case, I have entrusted the crown prince to you." Third Brother...... My brother-in-law was really ashamed. You finally returned to the capital, but I have to work for you to go far away. ”

Qin Bai said with a smile: "The emperor's words are outside. The minister is not working for the emperor, but he is just worried about his nephew, who he hasn't seen for many years, and wants to go and see him. ”

Qin Bai said it lightly, but the emperor was still very moved in his heart. He suddenly felt that he owed too much to this brother-in-law, but he made up too little for the other party. What should he do for his brother-in-law......
