The emperor was half lying on the dragon couch, his face was sallow, Empress Cai was aside, and the tears that couldn't stop flowed down, and asked the imperial doctor, several imperial doctors from the hospital knelt on the ground, the emperor was angry and angry, if he was in good health on weekdays, he would relax and recuperate for a few days, the emperor would become ill from hard work, worried about state affairs, and his body would have been overwhelmed.

I saw the emperor gently raise his trembling hand, "Go and call Yun'er over." ”

Gonggong He hurriedly sent someone to summon him.

Brother Shen saw that his mother was also there, and he didn't have time to say hello to the queen, so he ran to the emperor and knelt down, the emperor reached out to hold Brother Shen'er's hand and was full of tears.

"Yun'er, Daddy originally wanted to wait for Marquis Li to return triumphantly to reveal your identity, Qiu Yihai's bastard was full of nonsense, and those bastard ministers knelt down in Chengtianmen again, with no father and no king in their eyes, I want to give them an explanation! Rumors of your unnamed identity are spreading, which is extremely unfavorable to the situation, so I will make you the crown prince and calm people's hearts. ”

This day came too early, Brother Shen also heard about Qiu Yihai's recital, if it is allowed to spread, it will be extremely unfavorable to the future situation, since ancient times, those gossip spread the fastest, and he must use thunderous means, his identity is sensitive, once it is made public, it will have a far-reaching impact on the current situation.

Brother Shen smiled, "My son listens to his father's arrangement." ”

Several imperial doctors who knelt on the ground trembled when they heard these words, and they didn't dare to say a word, and the emperor didn't let them go, so they had to listen.

The emperor also ordered people to invite Wei Guogong, Bowang Hou, Xuanzhong Shumen Pingzhangshi and Longtuge University Scholar Chen Zhizhong, Governor Wang Gui, Privy Envoy Ren Minzhong to come to see the driver, and it was rumored that the director of the dark cloud guard was waiting at the foot of the palace.

Chen Zhizhong has been an official for many years, deeply favored by the Zhao family, shouldering the power of the prime minister, saying nothing in the court, he is clever and tactful, the emperor can't find his mistakes over the years, Chen Zhizhong listened to the emperor's summons at this moment, glanced at a few colleagues and said with a smile, "Your Majesty must be in a hurry at the moment, I'll wait or don't let Your Majesty down." ”

Those ministers knelt outside the Chengtian Gate, and it was strange that the emperor was not in a hurry.

Wang Gui glanced at Chen Zhizhong, saw that he looked worried, and sneered in his heart, Lord Chen is a smiling tiger, who eats people and does not spit out bones, Wang Gui followed without saying a word, Ren Minzhong and Li Dikuan followed.

Father-in-law He came out first, and Lord Chen asked anxiously, "Your Majesty is okay?" ”

"Lord Lao Chen is concerned, Lord Chen, please."

Chen Zhizhong and a few people entered the front hall of the Longde Palace, and saw the emperor sitting on the throne, and the queen mother sitting beside him, that Li Shen Xiao'er actually stood beside the emperor, looking up and down at several of them, and the queen didn't care.

Wei Guogong and Bo Wanghou sat down, and the qiē in front of them seemed to have nothing to do with them.

There is the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, Chen Zhizhong knelt down and kowtowed, the emperor said that he would be free to sit down, Chen Zhizhong refused to get up, "The hundred officials are hard to advise, and I hope that Your Majesty will give the world an explanation." ”

"I Xuan'er and others came in, just to give an explanation to the subjects of the world, Lord Chen has been a scholar for eleven years, he has been an official for many years, and he is an old minister of the two dynasties, I admired Lord Chen very much when I was still in Jiujiang, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet at that time."

The Emperor's deep voice echoed through the main hall.

Chen Zhizhong knew that the emperor was used to pulling crooked topics, Bo Wanghou was also there, Wei Guogong was also there, Qiu Yihai's advice was secretly instructed by Bo Wanghou, Chen Zhizhong didn't want to give the emperor a chance, Li Shen killed or not killed was between the emperor's thoughts, this Li Shen stood beside the emperor, the emperor's meaning was clear, and he wanted to save Li Shen's life.

also invited the queen mother, the queen mother is really virtuous enough.

"Your Majesty, the crowd of officials is excited, not killing Li Shen is not enough to calm people's hearts, I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible!"

Chen Zhizhong, as Zaifu, is not comparable to Qiu Yihai's words, Chen Zhizhong said loudly, "Your Majesty, isn't the problem at hand to solve the hundred officials who advised outside?" If the officials are not in court, how can the people's hearts be stable!"

The emperor said gently, "The officials don't know the truth, because they have random speculation, and I don't blame them." ”

Chen Zhizhong raised his head and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, his eyes were like electricity, "Your Majesty, as the emperor, should be humbly admonished, and the traitor and villain Li Shen bewitched the sacred heart, causing hundreds of officials to boil, and the people were dissatisfied, and His Majesty should get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

"Chen Aiqing is loyal, but Chen Aiqing doesn't know something, the Li Shen you said in your mouth is actually my emperor's son, my middle palace sister-in-law Zhou Yun, Yun'er has been victimized by traitors since she was a child, and someone wants to harm my sister-in-law! I can only entrust him to the Marquis of An Guo to raise him on his behalf, and Marquis Li sacrifices his beloved son to adopt the palace, and the eldest prince in the palace is the concubine of the Li family. ”

Chen Zhizhong was stunned, and the adults were also stunned, and Bo Wanghou suddenly raised his head.

The emperor looked at several ministers and smiled gently, "I have six brothers, only now there are only three emperor brothers and me, His Royal Highness King Xi has been adopted by his mother since he was a child, but he has no relationship with the world, the emperor was assassinated by Xiaoxiao, my father regretted it too late when he learned the truth, and he blamed himself for his own crimes, and I am heartbroken every time I think about it!"

My second brother died young, the third brother had some delusions and settled for many years, the fourth brother died of poisoned wine, the fifth brother committed suicide, and I was suspicious of Jiujiang secret account, and it was easy to identify innocence, my sister-in-law was plundered out of the palace by traitors, intending to blackmail me, I found my son and secretly entrusted it to Li Mingwei to upbring, Li Mingwei gave up his son for loyalty, at that time I was valued by the Queen Mother, and was able to own the world, but it was separated from flesh and blood, and the Zhao family relied on the Queen Mother, and the heart of the people was not subordinate for a long time! ”

The emperor changed color, "Marquis Bowang, you are guilty!"

Bowang Marquis Zhao Yu looked at the emperor forcefully, "What is the crime of the minister?" ”

The emperor does not have definite evidence in his hand, there are other people who do those gold smuggling, the Zhao family's plan behind the back is wiped clean, even if the deeds are revealed, there is still the Lu family there, Lu Liang hates the emperor deeply, has escaped from the capital, he has received the favor of the Zhao family, and promised to contract it with all his might.

The emperor looked at Bo Wanghou with a heavy gaze and smiled.

Since there is no trace of gold smuggling, the emperor said another thing, "Zhao Qing found a good gentleman for my second prince the year before last, what is the second prince's heart, Zhao Qing, you vainly try to support the Zhao family's blood, what is your intention?" ”

Of course, Bo Wanghou will not admit this, "Your Majesty is a crime that you want to add!" ”

The emperor smiled kindly, "It's good that Zhao Qing doesn't have this thought, Zhao Qing is my uncle, I have always respected, my eldest son Zhou Yun is twelve years old, smart since childhood, I want to make him the prince, so I take him with me and often teach, Qiu Yihai is a shameless man, he has no father, he slanders my son, and I hope that Bo Wanghou and the courtiers will analyze it clearly." ”

Bo Wanghou said with a smile, "The crown prince is related to the country, Your Majesty should not be hasty, Li Shen's life experience is self-talking, and Hou Li has to come back from a tour of the mountains and rivers to explain it to the ministers." ”

"Li Qing went to Jiangnan to find traces of the rebels at my behest of the order, not to play in the mountains and rivers, Bo Wanghou did not know, thirteen years ago someone smuggled gold, I found clues, and recently there was a move to smuggle gold, I ordered Li Mingwei to go to the south of the Yangtze River by visiting the mountains and rivers to cover his ears and eyes.

Yesterday, Li Ming only handed it over, seized more than 10,000 taels of gold, captured a number of criminals, the bandits occupied Qinglong Mountain and fell into the grass as the king, and hit the Changzhou Mansion, such a traitor wolf ambition, Li Hou Ye can not come back for a year and a half, fortunately, there are Yingguo Gong Fang Kui, Leshan County King, Dark Cloud Wei Lu Yu, the imperial doctor Huang Bingzhong and so on all know about this, not my own words, Fang Kui at the moment waved his army south, led the army to be stationed in Shangluo, and returned to Beijing when Changzhou maintained stability. ”

The emperor said this in one breath, revealing several layers of meaning.

Bo Wanghou knew that the emperor was suspicious of his Zhao family, these words were a warning, the emperor unknowingly mobilized the army, and there was already some arrangement, Fang Kui garrisoned Shang Luo, and Li Mingwei became a horn, Bo Wanghou understood that the general trend had gone, and now he could only find a way to protect the Zhao family first, and those gold would not be taken care of.

The emperor looked at Chen Zhizhong, "Chen Qing is a Zaifu, this is the crime of negligence of the Qing family." ”

Chen Zhizhong could only kneel down and kowtow, "The minister is negligent." ”

Wang Gui and others understand that the Zhao family has a light position in the court, Bowang Hou Fu has been idle at home for many years, and he is angry in his heart, most of the disciples of the Zhao family are in important positions, and there is the queen mother and concubine in the palace, and the Zhao family is a noble family.

The smuggling of gold between the emperor's words, Li Mingwei's secret visit, Fang Kui's army to the south, and Hou Tieqing's face.

Wang Gui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The ministers don't know that there is such a hidden situation, the eldest son of the emperor has been wronged over the years, and the minister prays for His Majesty to welcome back the eldest son of the emperor as soon as possible, the world is very lucky!" Sheji is very lucky! ”

Ren Minzhong, Li Dikuan and others hurriedly kowtowed, as well as those imperial doctors on the side.

Duke Wei Lu Yunxiao also hurriedly knelt down, not caring about wiping cold sweat, "The ministers don't know that there is such a hidden situation, the prince has been wronged all these years." ”

Zhou Yun stepped forward to help Wei Guogong, "Grandpa Guo, please get up quickly, Yun'er has any grievances." ”

He picked up Bowang Hou and said with a smile, "Hongyi told me a long time ago, Hou Ye is idle at home, a first-class immortal, Yun'er has long wanted to see Hou Ye's demeanor, and today I have a chance to see it, and I hope that Hou Ye will teach me more in the future." ”

He also helped Chen Zhizhong and a few people said with a smile, "Lord Chen has written a good article, he has led the literary world for more than ten years, Xiao Ke often recites, and several adults of Lord Wang are also invited." ”

The emperor said with a smile, "Qiu Yihai has no father, he has been imprisoned in the Criminal Department, and the ministers do not know the truth, I will not pursue it, and I hope that Chen Aiqing will draft an edict to announce it to the world, stating the identity of the prince, commending Li Mingwei's educational achievements, Zhou Yun is my son-in-law, since he should inherit the unification, I used to vacate the storage position, you should also understand today." ”

Chen Zhizhong saw the wind and made the rudder, and drafted a gorgeous edict of the four and six, the emperor saw the seal, Chen Zhizhong and Wang Gui and others came to Chengtianmen, and saw Qiu Yihai more than 100 people still kneeling there.

Lord Chen announced the edict, there was a dead silence, and Qiu Yihai fainted to death. R1152
