Although with the help of his two sons, Prince Qing successfully quelled a palace change. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 According to Mu Chenxue's calculations, Prince Qing not only did not ask for merit, but even asked for punishment, and took his two sons to be grounded in the palace and thought about it behind closed doors.
The emperor looked at the four sons who were still kneeling on the main hall, especially the prince and King Su who he had raised with one hand, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.
sighed, and did not rush to deal with the crown prince and King Su, but looked at King Xuan and King Jing, in his heart he always thought that the two sons had some ideas about the throne, but they didn't dare to do anything. But today's events made the emperor, who has always been conceited, have to pay attention to his second son.
"You are really my good son, the prince's good brother. The battle in the outer palace is so fierce, you two don't dissuade or stop it, but run all the way to the inner palace, thinking only about complaining like me. All right! It's really good! The emperor's voice sounded a little cold, but it was more disappointed. Back then, he also stepped onto the throne step by step, but now watching his sons fight each other, this can realize how painful the struggle between their brothers was when the emperor was alive.
"Father, the son entered the palace according to the order today, but he was besieged by the prince and King Su, the son was just too frightened, and he was worried that the prince would plot against his father, so he hurried to escort him. My son is wronged! King Xuan cried with tears on his face and a look of horror, but his panic was not because he was frightened by the crown prince and King Su, but because the thoughts in his heart were actually seen through by the emperor. originally thought that he would use this incident to bring down the prince and King Su, but among the remaining princes, he was the oldest, had a strong net worth, and was the best choice for the prince, so he had no fear. But now it seems that the emperor has already seen through his thoughts, and now he has to be afraid.
"Please ask my father to check, my son was just frightened for a while, and he never had any other thoughts. The matter between the prince and King Su has nothing to do with his son! King Jing knew in his heart that his actions today had left a bad impression in the emperor's heart. So he didn't defend himself too much, but showed his heart to the emperor, and used the crown prince and King Su to block him.
But he thinks he is a clever way to save himself, and in the eyes of the emperor, in addition to hating iron and steel, there are more dissatisfaction and disappointment.
"Shut up!" The emperor slapped his palm on the dragon chair, his face could no longer hide his anger, glaring at King Xuan and King Jing, his chest rose and fell, but he couldn't say a word.
I don't know how long I waited, only then did I hear the emperor's helpless sigh, and even if the four of them didn't look up, they could feel the emperor's disappointment in them.
"The two of you, like King Qing, have gone back to the house to think about it behind closed doors, and you can't leave the house without my permission. Another year of fines, go for it! This "go", the emperor seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body, closed his eyes for a while, and kept flashing in his mind that he was kneeling on the hall like this back then, and the emperor also sighed to his sons like this, and now it is his turn. Everything is the cycle of karma in the Heavenly Dao!
Watching King Xuan and King Jing exit the hall with their sons, the emperor looked at the crown prince and King Su. The two of them were also tight, and they put their heads lower.
"Back then, the queen was in poor health after giving birth to the crown prince because of difficult childbirth, and I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I ordered someone to take you to my side and take care of you personally. Until King Xuan was born and the queen died, I was afraid that you would be calculated if you had less to rely on, so I insisted on making you the crown prince despite the opposition of the ministers. Even from the time you were fifteen years old and crowned, I have kept you by my side and taught you personally. But in the end, in exchange for your cold-hearted treatment, you want to put your brother to death for the throne by any means. It's me who dotes on you too much, it's all my fault! The emperor sighed from the bottom of his heart, he was really heartbroken. Because among all his concubines, only the original queen was truly in love with him. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on supporting the prince when he lost power.
The crown prince had already cried loudly, "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, and the son is willing to be punished, and I ask the father to save his son's life for the sake of the queen mother!" While crying, he pleaded with the emperor. When he entered the inner palace just now, he was still thinking about exculpating himself, but now when he heard that the emperor not only did not interrogate him, but even mentioned the former queen, he knew that the emperor did not intend to let him go, so he did not dare to make any excuses for himself, but confessed his guilt wholeheartedly, hoping to save his life.
King Su was originally still in his chest, waiting for the emperor's questioning, but after watching the emperor deal with King Qing and others, he just recalled the past without interrogating or asking, and knew that things would not develop in the direction he thought. Seeing that the prince couldn't stop crying, he just bowed his head and admitted his mistake, knowing that he had no more chance for that position.
He knew that after all, it was a fact to besiege the palace and force the palace, but he was unwilling, if it weren't for the prince, he wouldn't have been exposed so early.
"Father, the son doesn't excuse himself, he doesn't explain anything for himself, the son is privately gathering troops in the capital, but the son also has a hard time, if it is not for the prince's heart and mind to put his son to death, why should the son do this. If it weren't for the fact that his son had been on guard against the prince, he would have been killed just now. If the son is at fault, please punish the father! King Su looked at the upper position with a calm face, and that seat could never belong to him. It is inevitable to feel aggrieved and unwilling in my heart.
The emperor withdrew his gaze from the crown prince and turned to look at King Su. He originally had great hopes for this son, after all, with the character of the crown prince, he could only be the lord of the city at most. But King Su is different, not only brave but more strategic, if it weren't for the reason of the first queen, King Su would be more suitable to be the emperor of Wu State.
And what the emperor wants is not just a successor who can keep his business, but a virtuous monarch who can open up a vast territory and conquer and plan. That's why King Su was allowed to erect military merits in the court, in order to find a boost for the prince.
But after all, he still despised the greed of human nature. King Su is obviously talented and powerful, how can he be willing to be the arm of the prince, and be willing to assist the prince who is inferior to him to be a virtuous king.
The emperor looked at the crown prince again, and silently asked himself in his heart, was he wrong? If he didn't support the crown prince at the beginning, but waited until the princes were all adults, and he was standing according to the virtuous, would there be no such thing as today? glanced at King Su again, what was King Su's mistake again? If he hadn't let King Su make contributions, everything today wouldn't have happened.
The emperor kept asking himself in his heart, but no one could give him an answer. He is the emperor and the Son of Heaven, and no one can give him advice except him. Regret it? No, he can't regret it, he can't let his heart be weak, even if it is the two sons he cares about the most who kneel in front of him. (To be continued.) )
