Before the investigation, the old emperor knew that whether it was the matter of the Xuyu Nunnery or the rebellion of King Rong, it was the handiwork of King Zhao and King Zhou......

Even, it was found that Qin Xiaoyan had secretly done some tricks and tricks, intending to frame King Zhao and King Zhou. The old emperor was not surprised at all by this, if Qin Xiaoyan didn't do anything, the old emperor would feel strange.

You must know that King Zhao and King Zhou had framed Qin Shanyan before, and if Qin Shanyan didn't fight back, he wouldn't be worthy of the surname Qin.

King Zhao and King Zhou were outside the palace, although Qin Lianyan intervened, he did a very measured job, the old emperor was not ready to call Qin Lianyan for questioning, let alone think about holding Qin Lianyan accountable.

When the water is clear, there is no fish, the old emperor never asks Qin Xiaoyan to be pure and kind, the royal family has no truly pure and good children, and pure and good children cannot survive in the palace. The qiē made by Qin Xiaoyan was within the scope of the old emperor's acceptance, but it was the qiē made by the five princes, which greatly exceeded the old emperor's expectations......

"Mu Xian's heart is big." How much the old emperor loved the five princes before, and how disappointed he is now.

The old emperor thinks that he is better to this old man than all the princes, and his favor to the five princes is second only to Qin Xiaoyan, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, the five princes will not be able to run away from the title of prince.

The old emperor delayed giving the five princes the title of king, in addition to wanting to detain the five princes in the palace and prevent him from gaining power in the imperial court, but also wanted to leave the opportunity to reward the five princes to the new emperor.

The five princes are not a threat to the new emperor, no matter who ascends the throne as the emperor in the end, they will definitely treat the five princes well for the sake of benevolence, but ......

This is not what the five princes want, the five princes, like his royal brothers, all have a crush on the throne.

"Go, call the fifth." Although the old emperor was angry, he still wanted to give the five princes a chance to clarify in person.

The confidant eunuch glanced up at the old emperor, silently retreated, and went to invite the five princes in person.

When the five princes were doing it, they guessed that the old emperor might know, especially after the death of King Rong, the five princes were even more uneasy, although they made some preparations, they were still afraid that the old emperor would summon him.

Seeing the henchmen and eunuchs beside the old emperor coming in person, the heart of the fifth prince stopped, and he asked unsteadily: "Father, what is the father looking for me?" ”

"The minions don't know." The confidant eunuch is like a human spirit, how could he reveal the matter to the five princes in advance at this time. The confidant eunuch bowed his head and did not speak, and when he saw that the five princes were in place for a long time and did not leave, he respectfully urged: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor is still waiting for you." "Don't grind, if you dare to do it, you have to dare to take it.

"Hmm. Let's go. The fifth prince took a deep breath and straightened out the fold that did not contain zài in the front placket, so as to relieve his tension.

The henchman eunuch looked at the nose and nose, and was silent in front of the way, and the five princes asked a few more words on the way, but the henchman eunuch just didn't hear it, and he didn't spit out a word.

The old emperor's henchman, even the queen, also wants to give three points of face, he doesn't answer the words of the five princes, although the five princes are angry, they don't dare to say more.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness has come down." The henchman eunuch led the five princes into the hall, carefully reminded the old emperor who closed his eyes slightly and sat on the dragon chair with his eyes closed.

Too many things have happened in the past few days, especially the death of King Rong, which has hit the old emperor hard, the old emperor is leaning on the dragon chair at this time to rest, hearing the words of his henchman eunuch, he slowly raised his eyelids, his eyes were cloudy, showing his old age......

The confidant eunuch immediately bowed his head after a glance, and the five princes held their breath as soon as they entered the hall, not even daring to breathe, and did not dare to raise their heads without the emperor's words, and stood in the middle of the hall with their heads bowed, looking like children who had made a mistake.

"Hmph......" The old emperor snorted coldly, signaling his henchmen and eunuchs to take all the others down, and only the old emperor and the five princes, father and son, were left in His Royal Highness.

There were no minions, and the fifth prince was at ease, knowing that his father would not ask him about his sins over this matter.

"Old Five, do you know what's wrong?" The old emperor's voice was a little hoarse, without the spirit of the past.

Is it a mistake or a crime, the five princes were happy in their eyes, knelt down with a puff, and said in a choked voice: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, the son is not filial, and the father is sad because of me." ”

The fifth prince bit his lip, his eyes were misty, and he looked up at the old emperor, looking extremely regretful.

"You are indeed unfilial and disrespectful." Xu is the death of King Rong made the old emperor sad, seeing such five princes, the old emperor's heart softened, and his tone eased a lot.

"Father, son, son, just ......" The tears in the eyes of the five princes fell one after another. "Father, Erchen knew that he was wrong, Erchen really didn't expect that the fourth brother would commit suicide because of this, Erchen really didn't think about forcing the fourth brother to death, Erchen was just angry that the fourth brother was disrespectful to his mother, so he wanted to find the fault of the fourth brother and be angry for his mother." ”

King Rong is a domineering person, and he has indeed been disrespectful to Gu Guifei, and more than once. However, this reason did not win the trust of the old emperor.

"Are you angry with your mother and concubine, so you are looking for your fourth brother's fault?" The old emperor's voice was a little colder, and the fifth prince knew that if he didn't make this matter clear, his status in his father's heart would be lower and lower in the future, and he would not even have a foothold......

The fifth prince quickly organized the language in his mind, bowed his head and said: "Father, who is the son, don't you know yet, father?" The son has a few catties and a few taels, and his father also knows it. The minister knew his ability, and he never thought about it, and his son's move was just to be angry for his mother, but he never thought about it, and he never thought about it...... That's how things will turn out. Erchen is sorry for the fourth brother, and he is sorry for the virtuous concubine, Erchen is too careful. ”

The five princes burst into tears, with a look of regret, and cried: "Father, the son-in-law is wrong, and the son-in-law also regrets it." After learning that the fourth brother had an accident, Erchen couldn't sleep at night, and he regretted it very much, and he had been copying scriptures for the fourth brother for the past few days, so as to atone for the fourth brother. ”

"What you said is true?" The old emperor was still skeptical, but he was a little relieved.

He knows the five princes, this son is pampered by him, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is, and he has no connections and skills, just watch him get people into the imperial city, but he doesn't do it for a long time.

This is a son who has no courage and no strategy.

The five emperors were not visible, but they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "Erchen doesn't dare to deceive his father, Erchen has copied the scriptures for the fourth brother a hundred times in the past few days, and the son-in-law wants to copy the scriptures for the fourth brother 9,999 times to comfort the fourth brother's soul in the sky." ”

The fifth prince looked sincere, the old emperor's face was a little pale, nodded lightly, and shouted loudly: "Someone!" ”

"The minions are here." The henchman eunuch hurriedly came in, his eyes did not dare to look wildly, and he only knelt down behind the five princes.

"Go to the Lanming Palace, and bring the scriptures copied by the five princes to me for me." The old emperor detained the five princes and let his henchmen do it, just not giving the five princes a chance to play tricks.

"Yes." The henchman eunuch hurriedly retreated, and the five princes knelt motionless......
