Chapter 337: The Death of the Four Princes
Before, because the old lady was on the dragon boat, although she didn't see how the boat capsized for the first time, she still saw the boat of the fourth prince crash into the boat of the eldest prince when she heard the exclamation of the palace maid at a high place, and the boat of the eldest prince almost overturned, and many people also fell into the water in an instant because of this collision.
So this incident is actually not an accident to put it bluntly. When the prince participated in the dragon boat race, the boat must have been stronger than the other boats, and it would have been checked in advance, but the good boat was capsized, which made people think that there must be something else in the middle. The old lady was thinking in her mind at this time, what kind of situation would this matter be, and what impact would it have on the court after the matter of the eldest prince came out? How many people will be involved in this matter? Will the Seven Princes be implicated? Or did the Seven Princes do anything in it? This series of questions made the old lady feel very tired.
"We can't talk about this matter, but anyone who chews the root of his tongue indiscriminately sells it directly!"
An hour or so was there a notice for everyone to go back.
Sun Haoqing was also injured at this time, because the impact made him suddenly hit the side of the boat, and there was also a bruise on his chest, but these were all trivial matters to the eldest prince Sun Haoze, who capsized and disappeared. At this moment, although he was injured, he still knelt in front of Emperor Wen.
Sun Haoling has always had a good relationship with Sun Haoqing, because he once went to Jiangnan with Sun Haoqing to inspect and had a friendship of coexistence, and because of the hands and feet of the eldest prince Sun Haoze and the third prince Sun Haocheng, the two of them almost died in Huangquan. Therefore, the two of them can be regarded as suffering together.
So he saw Sun Haoqing, who had been kneeling for a long time, and Emperor Wen, who still didn't say a word, and said: "Father, the fourth brother was also injured, and the eldest brother's boat capsized in an accident, so let the fourth brother get up." ”
Emperor Wen said angrily at this time: "Accident? Sixth, do you really believe it was an accident? ”
Sun Haoling was speechless at this time by Sun Haoling's words, he is not a fool, nor is he a fool, otherwise Emperor Wen would not let him and Sun Haoqing inspect Jiangnan together, in fact, he did not believe that this matter was an accident. But what he said just now was also because he wanted to intercede for Sun Haoqing. And he believed that Sun Haoqing would not do such a thing, otherwise he would not have let his boat crash into Sun Haoze's ship in front of so many people.
Sun Haoling was speechless.
After a while, Sun Haoling said: "It's definitely not the fourth brother, otherwise the fourth brother wouldn't be so close to the eldest brother during the dragon boat race." Isn't this specifically to pull suspicions for yourself? ”
Sun Haoqing, who was kneeling on the ground, still didn't say a word. But his back began to bend slightly after hearing Sun Haoling's words.
Emperor Wen rebuked: "Confused! It's not your turn to speak here, you have to think carefully in your own house first, and when you figure it out and when you come out! ”
"Father!"
When Sun Haoling shouted that Emperor Wen was about to say something more, Sun Haoqing, who had not spoken, said to Sun Haoling: "Sixth brother, you go back first." I have something to say to my father. ”
Sun Haoling glanced at Sun Haoqing. Sun Haoqing's face was an unquestionable look. Sun Haoling moved his gaze to Emperor Wen again, but Emperor Wen turned his back to them.
Sun Haoling had no choice but to say helplessly: "Father, the son of the emperor has retired!" ”
So there are now two people left in the imperial study, Emperor Wen and Sun Haoqing.
"Father. Erchen knows his mistake! ”
Sun Haoqing, who didn't speak for a long time, kowtowed to Emperor Wen when Sun Haoling walked about a cup of tea, and said.
Emperor Wen grabbed the inkstone at hand and smashed it directly at Sun Haoqing.
"Wrongdoing? Tell me what you did wrong to know what you were wrong? ”
Sun Haoqing did not hide in the face of Emperor Wen's anger, and the inkstone flew over Sun Haoqing's shoulder and fell to the ground. Sun Haoqing only felt a tingling pain in his shoulder, and then Emperor Wen's questioning made him bite his lip tightly. How could his Wrong Emperor not know? Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that when Sun Haoling interceded for him. Originally, he thought that what he showed others was just his own unintention. Although things were out of his control, he was at best an unintentional person. Sun Haoze's boat suddenly capsized, and his boat was hit by Sun Haoze's boat, and finally Sun Haoze's boat capsized, which can also be said in the past, although he will also suffer a lot of reprimands, but when he first found out about the accident, he hit the side of the ship hard when his boat was also turbulent, which is why he was also injured. But now it seems that all this is in vain.
Emperor Wen looked at Sun Haoqing, who was not speechless, and was even more annoyed.
Sun Haoqing is tantamount to challenging his royal authority and the majesty of a father.
"Say, why don't you say it! Didn't you admit your mistake? ”
After Emperor Wen shouted this, he began to cough violently.
Outside, the worried voice of Manager Huang came: "Your Majesty? ”
"Don't come in!"
After Emperor Wen took advantage of the gap between coughs to shout such a sentence, and then coughed violently until Emperor Wen spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Sun Haoqing didn't know what his heart was like at this time, and his eyes were very strong.
"Father!"
shouted with some sadness, some surprise, some fear, and many emotions that Sun Haoqing himself could not recognize.
Then I saw Sun Haoqing get up and get a glass of water for Emperor Wen, and at that moment he was careful and well-behaved, as if a seven or eight-year-old child was caring about his father.
Emperor Wen suddenly burst into tears, and then Sun Haoqing's hand holding the cup was stunned. Finally, Sun Haoqing handed the cup to Emperor Wen, and then knelt down again.
This time, Sun Haoqing didn't seem to be able to stand up anymore, and even his head was buried low.
Emperor Wen took a sip of water, then looked at Sun Haoqing with teary eyes and said, "You go, go far." ”
Sun Haoqing raised his head suddenly when he heard Emperor Wen's words, he didn't expect Emperor Wen to spare his life. According to Emperor Wen's anger before, he thought that Emperor Wen would definitely not let him survive again. But now Emperor Wen said so. But it made him feel even more uncomfortable, and his eyes were already uncontrollably red.
He was also very yearning for the throne, and from every time he saw Mrs. Li's tears, he told himself that one day he would win the high position, so that those who had bullied her mother, especially Queen Hu, would prostrate at the feet of him and his own mother. Because of her beautiful appearance, his mother was still very popular with his father when he was young, and the title of "Li" has been followed until now, but Queen Hu has been taking the opportunity to learn from her mother because of this, and of course Chen Guifei's advice is indispensable behind this. So even if he didn't fight for the throne, he still resented Sun Haoze and Sun Haocheng, and even so, he didn't think about taking Sun Haoze and Sun Haocheng's lives. It's just that Sun Haoze and Sun Haocheng are much stronger and more ruthless than he imagined. I would want his life.
Even knowing these things. Sun Haoqing was left with only anger and resentment. What really made Sun Haoqing think about Sun Haoze and Sun Haocheng was Emperor Wen's last care about this matter. Sun Haoqing didn't understand the forces behind the queen, and the turmoil in the court that had just experienced Emperor Wen's illness could not cause any major changes, but that anger could not be suppressed for a long time, but there was a tendency to burn more and more. This is also the reason why Sun Haoling said that he was not in a hurry when he complained to him. The reason is that he already has a plan.
So now Emperor Wen suddenly let him go. Although it is no longer the status of a prince. But even this is enough to show that Emperor Wen has to bear a lot of pressure, first of all, from Empress Hu's uncle's mansion. And no matter what, he can't escape the blame for this matter, even if he can't find the root cause. But Sun Haoze's accident, the anger on the side of Uncle Guo's mansion must be directed towards him.
After Emperor Wen finished saying that, he turned his back to Sun Haoqing.
Sun Haoqing said to Emperor Wen in a trembling voice: "Father, have you ever loved my mother?" ”
Emperor Wen did not move after hearing this. After a while, Emperor Wen turned to Sun Haoqing and said, "The Heavenly Family has no feelings. ”
Sun Haoqing muttered, "What if we weren't in the emperor's house? ”
Emperor Wen was stunned by Sun Haoqing's words, and then the little girl in green clothes suddenly appeared in front of him and smiled at him and said, "Brother Mingyu, will I be your bride when I grow up?" Then in an instant, there was a scene of blood on the corners of the woman's mouth, but she was still dressed in turquoise clothes: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry." The concubine is guilty, and the concubine hates, but she does not regret it. Otherwise, the concubine will not meet you, but the concubine hopes that she will not meet you in the next life! ”
Sun Haoqing looked at Emperor Wen who was stuck in memory, how could he not understand. The heavenly family has no feelings, his father has a lover, but that lover is not his mother. Otherwise, it's not a look of remembrance. Sun Haoqing was a little sad for his infatuated mother, and he was also a little sad for his father.
"Is it Concubine Hua Shu?"
Sun Haoqing suddenly asked.
Emperor Wen did not speak.
Xu is Sun Haoqing is the first time he can't speak, and now he asked for the first time, and then asked the second time: "Is the person in my father's heart the seventh brother's mother, Concubine Hua Shu?" ”
Emperor Wen said: "It's all over." All you have to do is know that you are all my sons. I am not a good father, but you are all my sons, all my sons. ”
Sun Haoqing understood why Sun Haoyue was favored by Emperor Wen. The world evaluates fathers and sons by "the son does not teach, the father's fault", and there are many fathers who teach their sons with their hearts in the way they love their sons. But Emperor Wen did the opposite, but he was more indulgent to Sun Haoyue. Then in an instant, Sun Haoqing also understood, if Emperor Wen didn't treat Sun Haoyue like this, then how could Sun Haoyue have such a free life now? And no matter how ridiculous Sun Haoyue is, he has never made any particularly big mistakes and done particularly outrageous things. So Emperor Wen is naturally relieved.
Sun Haoqing thought of this and said to Emperor Wen: "Father, take care." ”
Not long after Sun Haoqing came out of the imperial study, he went to Concubine Li of Jingyuan Palace and talked to Concubine Li for a long time.
At this time, Sun Haoqing's coming out of Emperor Wen's imperial study has already made many people know.
Empress Hu's nails were on the back of the chair she was sitting on at this time, and she scratched a few long marks.
"Yuan Yuhua, this palace will not let you go. Your son Hongu will not let go of the same! ”
Queen Hu's voice was not very loud when she said this, but the vicious tone and hideous face made people feel a feeling of fear and trembling for no reason.
At this time, no one in the queen's bedroom dared to say anything. From the time Empress Hu learned that the eldest prince could not be found, there was such an atmosphere in the whole palace.
Sun Haoyue said to Qian Ying at this time: "Sent someone to keep an eye on the third prince. ”
Qian Ying said suspiciously: "How is it the third prince?" ”
Sun Haoyue said: "This matter will not be clear for a while, so staring at him first." ”
After hearing this, she left.
Sun Haoyue was sitting there, thinking about where the hell was, he didn't notice. He has the memory of his previous life, so he knows that Sun Haocheng is not simple, to be precise, there is a group of people behind Sun Haocheng who are not simple. Therefore, when Sun Haoze, who has always had a good relationship with Sun Haocheng, had an accident, Sun Haoyue's first thought was not the most suspicious Sun Haoqing, but Sun Haocheng.
It was already late at night, and the old lady was not asleep at this time. This time the matter of the eldest prince will definitely cause a lot of trouble. You must know that the power of the uncle's mansion behind Queen Hu is not to be ignored.
Liu Qingsu was also thinking about the daytime. It's just that at this time, he also thought of Sun Haocheng's head. The matter between Sun Haocheng and Miss Chen in the Yushan Eldest Princess's Mansion before, as well as the fact that she was almost calculated, made her have a different view of the third prince who has always been quite virtuous outside. And today, the ship of the three princes fell to the end, which is extremely unreasonable. Because she remembered that in her previous life, she had heard Xiang Shaohui inadvertently say that Sun Haocheng was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, which was perfect. It always feels weird to be like this and be far behind. And didn't it say that the prince = team is going to play against the official against the civilian team? Could it be that she misunderstood? How many princes will compete again after the winners of the top three teams? But it seems that everyone in the queen's place should have similar thoughts to her.
Before anyone could figure it out, it was getting brighter.
It's just that at dawn, I heard a big news: the fourth prince Sun Haoqing committed suicide.
As soon as the news came out, many people were stunned. Before everyone could come to their senses, at noon, there was news from the palace that Concubine Li was overly sad and had committed an old illness.
At the same time, there was also news that the eldest prince was killed by the four princes, and the four princes committed suicide when they saw that the matter was revealed.
Just when everyone was still confused by this news, the queen was grounded by Emperor Wen's order. (To be continued.) )
