Guo Yuanzhou let out a soft "um", lowered his head and dusted off his robe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The crown of the crown prince's regulation was hung with a transparent jade bead, which was as cold as a qin, scraping the tip of Guo Yuanzhou's nose. In the depths of his lowered eyes, a touch of needle-like determination quickly crossed, but soon, he raised his head again, the expression on his face was still diluted and peaceful, the smile on his lips contained a hint of admiration, and he sighed: "Several imperial brothers are all recuperating, I haven't seen them for a long time, I miss them very much." ”

He specially abandoned the self-title of "Hongu" and smiled as he spoke. The peaceful and harmless smile, with a hint of concern, was very in line with the attitude that a generation of princes should have towards their brothers.

The group turned to the fork in the road on the west side, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before stopping.

At this time, they were already in a rather large area, the southeast corner of this area was surrounded by several delicate palace gates, forming an irregular semicircle, and the northwest corner was Mingxin Lake, one of the inner lakes of the palace.

Although this lake is not large, it is also a vast smoke, and in such a day, gulls and herons can often be seen flapping their wings and flying over, and the long tips of their feathers cut across the surface of the lake, sweeping out the road ripples.

To be exact, it is beyond the inner palace, but it is still located in the imperial city, where several adult princes live. Although there are several palace gates in front of you, there is only one unified name here - "Guangming Palace".

Compared with the East Palace where the prince lives, Guangming Palace is obviously several times larger, each prince has an exclusive palace, each palace also has an exclusive palace gate, the palaces are separated by high walls, and the inner doors are connected, which can be closed to form a unity, and do not hinder the exchanges between brothers.

If it is said that the East Palace is solemn and luxurious, then, Guangming Palace is known for its beauty and elegance, the bucket arch hangs the stars, the eaves hold the moon, the sparse place of the Pinghu Lake is like a mirror, the bamboo bridge is fine and the shadow is shining, the scenery is beautiful, the pavilions are magnificent, there is a bit of the graceful taste of the south of the Yangtze River, and it can be called a palace with the best scenery.

In addition, Guangming Palace also has a main gate, which is on the east side of the Jinshui Bridge, and it only takes half an hour to ride a horse from that gate to reach the most prosperous Desheng Gate in the capital.

From this alone, it can be seen that Emperor Zhongyuan is not blindly strict with his sons, and there is accommodation, which can be seen in the residence connecting the inside and outside, and the actions of the princes can also be called free, as long as the number of outings is not too frequent, Emperor Zhongyuan will not be too restrained by them.

Of course, this was all before the assassination.

In today's Guangming Palace, the palace gate near the Desheng Gate has been locked, and ten times more than the usual golden imperial guards have been sent to guard it, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. If the princes wanted to go out, they had to choose the gate located on this side of the palace.

And even so, several princes have not been out of Guangming Palace for a long time.

As early as the day of the assassination, Emperor Zhongyuan summoned the princes of the court in his anger, and discussed secretly for a long time in the upper study, and then suddenly issued a decree, ordering the princes to "study behind closed doors for the sake of the country", and "recuperate in peace" in their respective residences, and not to go out without reason. If you must go out, you must also go to the table in the Yuan Emperor, write down in detail the reason for going out, as well as the date, time, place, etc., and only leave after getting permission.

This will has a very distinct meaning of encirclement, but the princes of Dachen are noncommittal about it, and at a glance, they must have reached some kind of agreement with Emperor Zhongyuan.

In this case, the discerning people can see it clearly, and the princes soon understood its meaning. Even if they can't understand it for a while, the strategists and disciples around them don't eat for nothing, and naturally someone will guide them.

Obviously, Emperor Zhongyuan was wary of his sons. Although I don't understand where his wariness comes from, the wisest thing to do at this time is to stay quiet and not do anything superfluous.

As a result, whether there were ghosts or ghosts in their hearts, all of them closed their doors and really "recuperated" in Guangming Palace. It was not until the news of the assassination of the eighth prince of the Tang Kingdom came that the atmosphere of the government and the opposition was slightly relaxed.

To some extent, the death of the eighth prince of the Tang State weakened some of the Zhongyuan Emperor's suspicions about his sons, but it did not finally relieve him. Therefore, the movements of the princes are still greatly restricted, and it is very inconvenient to enter and exit.

Only the crown prince Guo Yuanzhou, because he is the prince of a country, and the only one who almost died in the assassination incident, Emperor Zhongyuan is kinder to him than before, and he can also go to Shoucheng Hall every day to ask for peace, and occasionally get a chance to meet the monarch.

Unfortunately, Guo Yuanzhou was not very lucky today, and Emperor Zhongyuan directly ordered him to leave, so he turned to Guangming Palace on the way back to the East Palace, wanting to visit his imperial brothers.

However, the princes apparently did not intend to give their younger brother the crown prince a chance to show his brotherly friendliness.

A few of the little chamberlains sent out soon came back, their faces were not good-looking, one of them was a little older, good-looking chamberlain, looking at the head of this group of small chamberlains, he pale face hesitated for a while, before he came to Guo Yuanzhou's side, bowed down and said: "Your Highness, a few of us have gone to pass the word, and several of them have said...... It's a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid I'm going to live up to His Highness's good intentions, please forgive Your Highness. ”

"Oh, that's ......" Guo Yuanzhou seemed to be a little surprised, and like a little regretful, sighed, and asked, "Why are the royal brothers uncomfortable?" Are you sick together? ”

His gentle voice was blown away by the lake breeze, and the concern in that tone was no more and no less, at the most appropriate degree.

The chamberlain bowed down again, and his voice became softer: "Yes, Your Highness." Several of His Highnesses were sick. The reason is that His Highness had a cold a few days ago, and when His Highness the Second, Third and Fourth Highnesses went to visit him, they somehow passed the illness and contracted the cold. Now that the palace doctor has prescribed medicine, several highnesses are eating the decoction according to the prescription. Several His Highnesses said that if they did not ask His Highness to visit, they were afraid that they would make His Highness sick and hurt His Highness's daughter. His Royal Highness also specially asked me to ...... Let me...... Give the prescription to His Highness for a look. ”

As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, raised his hands above the top, and sent it to Guo Yuanzhou.

Guo Yuanzhou looked at the piece of paper, his eyes were as gentle as ever, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "This is ...... cough cough cough ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly began to cough, this cough came very violently, he bent over, half-bowed, coughed loudly, and for a time he could not speak at all, and of course, he did not bother to take the prescription.
