288 cooperation, the only one who benefited
The fifth prince was not worried at all that the old emperor would send someone to get the scriptures, and he dared to say such a thing, so he was naturally prepared.
At this time, the fifth prince had to admit that Xiaoyao was indeed a smart person, and he actually thought of a countermeasure for him first, so that he had to get out under the pressure of the old emperor.
That's right, the five princes copied the scriptures for King Rong, and they didn't really think they were wrong. What is wrong with a prince competing for the throne and framing his brother?
Even if there is a mistake, it is not his fault alone, which of his royal brothers did not do this?
The five princes have been copying scriptures day and night in the past few days, and have made a grand wish to copy more than 9,000 scriptures, just to figure out the method of guò and dispel the old emperor's suspicions about him, and the facts have proved that the five princes have made the right move.
When the old emperor's henchman eunuch came in with more than 100 copies of the scriptures copied by the five princes, the old emperor's eyes softened a lot, and he was relieved and disappointed when he looked at the five princes.
"Old Five, please come." Only then did the old emperor remember that he had kept this son on his knees.
"Thank you, Father." The five princes struggled to get up, Xu was kneeling for too long, his legs were numb, and the five princes shook twice before they stood firmly, looking pitiful but unwilling to say anything after being wronged.
The old emperor sighed secretly and asked the five princes to sit, but the five princes did not dare to sit, he claimed that he was a guilty body.
The fifth prince knew that the old emperor had been moved, and he sincerely admitted his mistakes, almost taking all the mistakes on himself, and blamed himself vigorously, saying that if he hadn't found people into the city, King Rong would not have died, and there would have been no follow-up......
The old emperor was angry that the five princes intervened in the battle for the throne, but it was a little unbearable to see that the five princes took all the faults on themselves, after all, even if the five princes did not intervene in this matter, things would have turned out like this.
What the five princes can think of, King Zhao and King Zhou will not know? If the five princes don't do it, King Zhao and King Zhou will do it, and the final result is the same.
"That's it, although you didn't do it right, it might be good to recognize your mistake, and I will punish you to be confined for half a year, and copy the scriptures for King Rong to comfort his soul in heaven."
Among the three sons who survived, the one who made the least mistakes, the least ability, and the most sincere in admitting his mistakes was the five princes, and the old emperor loved Mo'er, and he was sure that this son was not for the battle for the throne, so the punishment was much smaller.
The five princes were lucky not to be disgusted by the old emperor, and the king of Zhou and the king of Zhao would not have such a good fate, and the old emperor summoned the king of Zhou and the king of Zhao into the palace and threw the evidence in his hand directly on the faces of the two......
"My good son, you forced your own brother to death, are you satisfied?" The old emperor's anger was all focused on King Zhao and King Zhou, and he scolded these two people to the point of blood, and the cups in his hands smashed into the two of them one after another......
Although the old emperor was old, his eyesight was very good, and the two cups were thrown out, which happened to hit the foreheads of King Zhou and King Zhao, and the two did not dare to dodge, so they could only bear it, and bright red blood flowed down their foreheads......
The two didn't dare to wipe it, they knelt in place resignedly, no matter what the old emperor said, the two only said yes again and again, and didn't dare to refute half a sentence.
The old emperor scolded for a long time, his anger was almost gone, he had no intention of killing his two sons, and when he heard the palace people say that Concubine De and Concubine Shu were kneeling outside, interceding for King Zhao and King Zhou, the old emperor stopped, pointed to King Zhao and King Zhou, and said angrily:
"The fourth brother deserves to be guilty of rebellion, but he is my son and your own brother, and you have disappointed me too much this time. Don't say anything that you didn't expect, the fourth child would commit suicide, and now that the person is dead, it is useless for you to say anything and regret it, knowing it earlier. ”
After the old emperor said this, he couldn't hold it anymore, sat on the dragon chair, gasped for breath, and his face was a little pale, but unfortunately King Zhao and King Zhou couldn't see it, the two only bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, hoping that after the old emperor dissipated his breath, he could lose his hair lightly, but this time the old emperor was really angry, and it was impossible to pick it up high and put it down gently......
After the old emperor relieved himself, he glanced at King Zhao and King Zhou, whose faces were covered with blood, there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I know what you want to say, you really didn't kill the fourth child, but the fourth child did die because of you, you two have thought about it at home, and without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the house for half a step." ”
The old emperor is a disguised reduction of the power of King Zhao and King Zhou, which can be regarded as a disguised house arrest, and it is indefinite......
After thinking about it at home, they can't go out, and their protégés will definitely not be able to enter the door, and they can't ask about the affairs of the court and the central government anymore. King Zhao and King Zhou were not satisfied with this verdict, but as soon as they looked up, they saw the cold eyes of the old emperor......
The father has no warmth for them!
King Zhao and King Zhou were cold in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to say more than half a word, and obediently accepted the punishment.
The old emperor saw their dissatisfaction, but so what?
The old emperor didn't need these two people to be satisfied, as long as these two people were obedient.
Waving his hand tiredly, the old emperor motioned for the two to retreat: "Go out and talk to your mother." "I don't know when and what month will we meet next......
King Zhao and King Zhou were bitter in their hearts, knowing that the old emperor would not let them go lightly this time, I am afraid that they will not be able to contact the government in the past two years.
A year or two......
If Qin Shanyan didn't go out of the palace to build a mansion, it's okay, but now Qin Lianyan is out of the palace to build a mansion and walk in the six departments, a year or two is enough for Qin Lianyan to establish his own forces.
Not to mention, most of their people were replaced in this purge, and a year or two later, I don't know if there is a place for them in this court.
King Zhao and King Zhou walked out at the same time, although the two brothers had bloody faces, they walked very steadily and with great anger, and refused to show weakness in front of outsiders.
King Zhao and King Zhou had a tacit understanding, when the two of them went out of the door of the palace, they paused at the same time, looked at each other, intersected their eyes, exchanged a tacit look, and tacitly looked away, and each walked towards their own concubines......
This time, King Zhao and King Zhou joined forces, although they overthrew King Rong, but not only did they not benefit from this incident, but they lost half of the country, and also made the emperor disgusted.
In this matter, King Zhao and King Zhou contributed the most and lost the most, and the only person who could profit was Qin Xiaoyan!
King Zhao and King Zhou made a tacit agreement at that moment, and the two joined forces again to pull Qin Xiaoyan down first, and then the two brothers relied on their own means in the future......
Concubine De and Concubine Shu saw the two brothers come out at the same time from a distance, these two people who had fought in the harem for most of their lives, immediately understood their son's thoughts, and the two exchanged glances without a trace, telling each other that they would not pull their son's hind legs, and they could also cooperate in the palace......
