The Young Prince Chapter 15 Return to the Palace
After a day's rest, Emperor Wen was still a little unwell, so he tentatively postponed it for two days, and then went back to Chang'an, so he asked Liu Rong to write a letter on his behalf, and then stamped it with his own private seal.
He summoned Tang Sheng into the palace and said, "I, I am determined to postpone my return to Beijing, and you will send this book to the palace."
Tang Sheng led a few guards and immediately sent them to Chang'an and sent them to the palace.
was about to enter the palace, but saw a person walk out of the palace gate, "Second brother, you didn't go hunting with Your Majesty to Baling Plain, why did you come to the palace?" ”。
"Eldest brother, Your Majesty has an urgent letter asking me to present it to the prince in person, and I will inform you of this matter later."
"Okay, I'll do it."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty was hunting in Baling, and was a little frightened, and he had to postpone it for two days before returning to Beijing, so he sent his ministers to deliver a letter to His Highness", as he spoke, Tang Sheng took out the letter in his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to the prince.
The crown prince Liu Qi picked up the book in Tang Sheng's hand, and after reading it, he asked Tang Sheng: "Your Majesty went hunting in Baling Plain, why was he frightened!" As a janissary guard of the Southern Army, how did you protect Your Majesty! ”。
Hearing this, Tang Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he immediately knelt down and replied: "It was the dereliction of duty of the ministers that caused Your Majesty to be frightened, and I would like to thank His Royal Highness Liu Rong for not being in danger and saving His Majesty, so that His Majesty was saved from injury."
"What do you have to do with Liu Rong at this time?"
Emperor Wen only said in his handwriting that he was frightened and needed to rest, and ordered the prince to temporarily deal with court affairs, without mentioning why he was frightened.
After that, Tang Sheng informed the prince of the incident.
After listening to what Tang Sheng said, the prince pondered for a moment before saying sharply: "Your Majesty has not pursued this matter, and it is inconvenient for you to say more, but you should remember, if there is such a thing again, you will not spare it!" ”
Tang Sheng knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, the ministers will definitely protect Your Majesty wholeheartedly, if there is any more such matter, there is no need for His Highness to say more, the ministers will be isolated in front of Your Majesty!" ”。
"Stand down."
Tang Wu on the side helped Tang Sheng on the ground and said, "Second brother, go to the Baling Palace quickly."
Tang Sheng clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, big brother", and turned his head to leave.
…………
After Tang Sheng left, the prince immediately entered the palace to see Dou Yi's room, "Mother, my father sent someone to send a letter from Baling, saying that he was frightened and wanted to come back in two days."
Empress Dowager Dou was very nervous when she heard this, and took her son's hand and asked, "Qi'er, your father has been in poor health recently, has he been injured this time?"
"Mother rest assured, my father is not damaged at all, but he is frightened, and my father has said that my grandmother is very old, so I can't tell her about it, so as to prevent the queen mother from working." Later, he told the Empress Dowager Dou about the incident.
"Previously, the palace didn't know why, His Majesty would love Rong'er so much, and even took him to Baling to hunt, but this time he can be in danger and deserve His Majesty's favor."
…………
At this time, in the Baling Palace, Emperor Wen and Liu Rong stood side by side, looking at the sunset in the distant mountains.
"Rong'er, do you know why I didn't say anything after listening to your words that day", Emperor Wen said with emotion.
Liu Rong leaned over and saluted, "My grandson doesn't know, I hope my grandfather will tell me."
"On that day, I didn't expect you to have such an opinion at a young age, and I was a little surprised, and secondly, I heard you say that day, 'The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk", I sighed very much.
Today, I have been on the throne for 20 years, and I am already a dying old man in my forties, I naturally know that the kings will be the calamity of the great Han, but there are some things that I have more than enough power to do, and I am no longer able to do it, so I will hand it over to your father at that time, and I hope he can properly ...... it."
He also said, "This matter is not humane, and if what you said that day is known to others, there will be endless troubles."
PS: During the Qin and Han dynasties, the average life expectancy was only 20 years old, and most ordinary people did not live to be in their thirties......
"Grandfather rest assured, grandson will not say much.
My grandfather is the holy son of heaven in the hearts of the people of my Han Dynasty, and he will live a long life and be blessed for a long time."
"Haha! I am a hundred years old, since the beginning of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, no one can live to be a hundred years old, I don't ask for these, ethereal things, I only hope that God can give me some time to deal with unfinished things......".
…………
Three days later, Emperor Wen has recovered, then drove back to the palace, just arrived in the palace, Emperor Wen's two sons and daughters, the crown prince Liu Qiliang Wang Liu Wu and the princess of Guantao Liu Xuan, also entered the Weiyang Palace.
When he saw Emperor Wen, he immediately saluted and said, "Son, wait to see my father." ”
Emperor Wen looked at Liu Wu in front of him and asked, "I have no will, why did you enter Beijing?" ”。
Liu Wu immediately knelt down and saluted: "Father forgives sins. When the son heard from his mother, his father was frightened and unwell, so he reported to his mother and came to Beijing to visit his father. ”
"Thinking of your filial piety, I don't blame you for the crime of leaving the fiefdom without permission, and you can't do so in the future.
I'm fine, you can wait and retreat."
At this point, the three of them withdrew from Weiyang Palace, and Liu Rong was also taken back to the palace by the prince.
As soon as the father and son returned home, the guards came to report: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, King Liang is here."
"Quickly invite King Liang in."
Before the words fell, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, arrived in the hall and said with a smile: "Brother, don't blame, the younger brother came in by himself."
"Haha, it's nothing, you and I are brothers, how can you be so careful.
Second brother, sit down, you can come here, Gu is naturally very happy", and the two sat down separately.
Of course, in the heart of the crown prince Liu Qi, he hated this pampered and proud younger brother who was loved by his mother.
But Liu Wu was named the king of Liang, and his fief was bounded by Mount Tai in the north and Gaoyang in the west, with a total of more than 40 cities, most of which were large counties, and they were in strategic places.
The crown prince Liu Qi had to win over this younger brother, and above the court, he had to show a brother and brother respect, which may be the legendary 'smile on the face and ...... in the heart'.
"Rong'er, I haven't seen you Uncle Liang soon", the prince said to Liu Rong on the side.
Liu Rong immediately saluted and said: "Nephew Liu Rong has seen Uncle Liang Wang", "It doesn't have to be like this, Rong'er can save His Majesty from danger, he is really a young talent."
"Uncle Wang praised falsely, the little nephew just happened to do it, if he was someone else, he would definitely sacrifice himself to solve his grandfather's crisis."
………………
After the two talked, the prince asked, "Second brother is here, what's the matter?" ”。
"Without him, I entered Chang'an yesterday, went to the palace to accompany my mother for one night, and I will return to Liang tomorrow, of course I have to visit my brother tonight."
Hearing these words, the prince was naturally very angry, and said in his heart, "My father ordered me to temporarily act as a government agent, and when I came to Chang'an, I actually passed me and reported to my mother ......."
The prince restrained his anger in his heart, got up and walked in front of Liu Wu, took Liu Wu's hand and said: "Haha, I am worried about the second brother, and I am naturally happy for my brother.
The two of them 'drank and talked happily' in the palace, and they also brought Liu Rong to drink with the two.
Liu Rong looked at his father and sighed in his heart: "Being a person in power may not be without difficulties, when you meet someone you hate, you have to pretend to like it, sure enough, politicians are all actors......."
