The emperor mentioned that the generals were not restrained, and his eyes were focused on Wang Fu, but the crown prince couldn't help but tremble.

It seems that the father is still suspicious of his pretentious transfer of troops, and now the prince's answer may put Wang Weiquan to death at any time.

But it seems that no matter how he answers, Wang Weiquan is dead, obeying the orders of the prince will die, and leading troops to besiege the assassin's mansion will die without authorization.

Deng Hua spoke, "Wang Weiquan deserves to die, because he reads too much, and people will think crankily when they read too much." He regarded himself as Ren An, if he didn't come to save the prince, in the future, whether Commander Hua and others would protect the prince and kill Xiao Kui, or Xiao Kui would kill the prince, he, Wang Weiquan, would end up with the crime of sitting and watching success or failure. In fact, he thinks highly of himself, with or without him, the prince will be safe and sound! ”

Deng Hua's words compared Wang Weiquan to Ren An, that is, to the current crown prince to Liu Ju, the crown prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Jian is so smart, these words are not only to avenge the crown prince, but also to exonerate Wang Weiquan, and compare Liu Jian to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Da Si Nong compared me to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, do you think that I want to kill the prince without distinguishing between loyalty and treachery like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

As soon as Emperor Liu Jian's words came out, everyone took a deep breath, and the emperor actually broke the words of everyone's dodging and dodging.

The prince immediately kowtowed, "The king wants the minister to die, the minister obeys the order, the father wants the son to die, the son obeys the order!" ”

Liu Jian sneered twice, "Da Si Nong, it seems that the prince thinks that I am Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Your Majesty is nominally a Zhongxing Liang, but in fact he is the founding king who dominates the world, how can Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty compare with Your Majesty? As His Majesty said, the prince has read too much and is a little pedantic, but how holy is the emperor, how can he not distinguish between loyalty and treachery? ”

"Da Si Nong, do you think you can deceive me by taking a few sycophants? Wang Fu, you say, how should you deal with the unauthorized mobilization of Tuntian soldiers and horses? ”

Wang Fu secretly scolded Dong Xing and Qian Jingzhi several times at this time, their analysis was all wrong, and the emperor's posture was to cure Wang Weiquan's crime.

"The minister believes that Wang Weiquan violated the laws of the imperial court and led troops to besiege the Assassin's Mansion without authorization, and he should be dealt with according to the law of the country!"

The emperor cast an approving look, and then asked Prime Minister Xiao Xian, "What does Prime Minister Xiao want?" ”

Of course, Xiao Xian wanted to put Wang Weiquan to death, if Wang Weiquan hadn't arrived with Feng Xiangjun, Xiao Kui would have been able to destroy the evidence of the crime, and now Xiao Kui has been killed by Wang Weiquan.

"The minister believes that the law of the court is sacred and inviolable, no matter who violates the law of the country, only His Majesty's sword can deal with it!"

The emperor did not immediately express his position, but continued to ask Chen Yu, "Shang Shuling, you haven't spoken, I want to hear what you have to say!" ”

Chen Yu looked at Wang Fu and Xiao Xian, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, this matter is widely implicated, and it must be reviewed in detail by Dali Temple, and then decided by Your Majesty!" ”

"Since I want Dali Temple to investigate in detail, wouldn't it be superfluous for me to send the prince there? What I want to hear is your opinion, I know that you are facing the Wang family and the Xiao family, and it is not good to say much, but I have to say it today! ”

The Wang family and the Xiao family, Chen Yu didn't want to help, let alone offend, but at this moment, the emperor had to force him to make a choice.

"The minister thinks that Wang Weiquan violated the law of the country and transferred troops to besiege the Assassin Mansion without authorization, and he should be beheaded according to the law!"

After saying this, Chen Yu lowered his head and didn't look at anyone, and the emperor looked at Yuan Xiuwen again, "Lord Sikong, do you have the same opinion as Shang Shuling?"

Yuan Xiuwen replied unhurriedly, "The minister's opinion lies in the fact that the true situation of this series of cases is not clear at present.

It's not that the minister doesn't believe in the prince and Lord Deng, it's just that His Majesty and you don't know much about the origin of this matter, Wang Weiquan has always been cautious and has been in Fengxiang Tuntian for seven years, right, General Wang? ”

Wang Fu nodded, "Wang Weiquan has always been an honest person, even if he will write a letter to ask for instructions on things like dealing with his captains, this time he led troops to besiege the Assassin Mansion, and the minister refused to believe it at first!" ”

General Wang only said half of what he said, Wang Weiquan was honest, but he was not stupid, let alone stupid enough that the prince ordered him to wave his troops to the Assassin's Mansion. The minister thought that there must be a reason why he had to go, a reason to go even if he was punished by the court and cut off his head! Otherwise, the Holy One would not have issued an edict to reward Wang Weiquan! ”

Yuan Xiuwen dared to say that the emperor rewarded Wang Weiquan in the past, and now he wants to discuss his crimes, which in itself is a difficult thing for the ministers.

Speaking of this, Yuan Xiuwen looked at the emperor, and the emperor smiled slyly, "Even if you Lord Sikong dare to question me and Wang Weiquan, we must find out before we come to the agreement, this time even my Jin Liangwei failed to find out the details, good means, even I have been hidden!" ”

The prince wanted to speak, Deng Hua dragged him, Wang Fu was shocked into a cold sweat, Xiao Xian was overjoyed, Chen Yu continued to squint and lowered his head, and Yuan Xiuwen looked at everyone.

Everyone thought they could leave, and the emperor stroked his beard, "Everyone, in this Deyang Hall today, there are two guests from the vassal kingdom who are coming, you might as well meet them with me!" ”

The person he wanted to meet, Liu Jian didn't say it explicitly, but everyone already knew who was coming, and the foreman eunuch had already told them privately when they entered the palace.

Zadalun, the prince of Yu, and Ju Yongwen, the prince of Gaochang, were brought into the Deyang Palace.

Ju Yongwen was happy and afraid, happy that he had been here for three years and finally waited for the emperor to meet again, and he was afraid that his future was uncertain.

When people's destiny is not in their own hands, there are often more tragedies than comedies.

Zadalen was glad that he was able to complete his mission and go home, of course, this is what he thought.

After the two princes bowed down to the emperor, they were not given a seat, but had to stand.

"Two princes, are you homesick?"

The first sentence the emperor asked stumped Ju Yongwen, who had read the story of his misfortune, but was afraid that the emperor would say that he was lying.

Ju Yongwen was still thinking, and Zadalun hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty the Emperor Qiqi, homesick, I have been in Daliang for almost half a year, and today I am fortunate to be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, which is a blessing for my generations!" But although Liang Guo is good, I still have to go back to my own home! ”

The emperor smiled noncommittally and continued to ask Ju Yongwen, "Prince Gaochang, is this question so difficult?" ”

Ju Yongwen still jumped out of the sentence, "I am happy here, I don't think about Gaochang, the minister has been here for three years, I am fortunate to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I am devoted to the customs and customs of Daliang, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to continue to stay in Daliang!" ”

The emperor sighed, "I am very satisfied with the answer of the two princes, but unfortunately the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes." Those who want to go home can't go back, and those who don't want to go home have to go home! ”

Zadalun was a little panicked, Ju Yongwen's face trembled slightly, and the emperor pointed at Yuan Xiuwen, "The original situation, please ask Lord Sikong to tell the two princes!" ”

Yuan Xiuwen looked at Zadalun, "Prince Yu Zadalun, the new king of Yu has already come to the state letter last month, asking His Majesty the Great Emperor to send you back!" In order to ensure the safety of the prince, Daliang has decided to keep you, of course, you will not continue to live in the Xianliang Pavilion, the emperor has already given you a palace! ”

Zadalen fell to his knees

Shang cried, "His Majesty Emperor Xie took him in, and the foreign minister asked His Majesty the Emperor to lend me soldiers and horses, and after I go back to the throne, I will repay His Majesty the Emperor heavily!" ”

The emperor motioned for Zadalen to get up, "Our Great Liang State does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and the new king of the Yu Kingdom is made in accordance with the will of your brother Zha Dake, and the Great Liang also expresses his support!" You want to fight for the throne and start a war, which I hate deeply! ”

Zadalen had to kowtow to thank him with tears in his eyes, and was taken out by several eunuchs.

Ju Yongwen knew that he was just meat on the board, and he could only listen to the arrangement of Emperor Liang to stay, so he stood in place with a calm expression.

Yuan Xiuwen walked to Ju Yongwen's side, "Prince Ju Yongwen of Gaochang, noble character, benevolence, filial piety and respect, my Liang monarchs and ministers unanimously agreed to escort Prince Ju Yongwen back to Gaochang to succeed to the throne!" Prince Ju Yongwen, aren't you grateful? ”

Ju Yongwen didn't expect that Da Liang would send him back to inherit the throne.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie Daliang, it's just that you can't be in peace in Xiawu, and the literature is not enough to govern the country, I'm afraid you will live up to the hearts of Emperor Daliang and you! What's more, my uncle is still alive, and several older brothers and younger brothers are also better than me! ”

The emperor smiled, "Someone begged me to send soldiers and horses to help him go back to fight for the throne, but I refused!" It's good for you, I and all the important ministers want to send troops and horses to help you ascend to the throne, but you are holding back! Three months ago, your uncle killed my Liang's supervisor in Gaochang without authorization, and incited the people to expel the Liang garrison, and he has been detained by the Changping Metropolitan Protectorate! As for your brothers, the conspiracy to collude with the rest of the country to endanger my Daliang has been arrested and sent to the capital Luoyang, and it will be in a few days. I am a great beam of benevolence and righteousness, and your brother will receive the moral education of the great beam here, and there will be no danger of his life! Gao Changguo is now in need of a king who is both benevolent and virtuous, and you Ju Yongwen are influenced by my Liang, of course, you are the most suitable candidate! ”

Ju Yongwen's heart was half cold, and he also secretly laughed at the stupidity of his brothers, fighting openly and secretly for the position of a puppet, but was served by Da Liang.

"Foreign Minister Xie Daliang Emperor Longen, after the minister returns to Gaochang, he must abide by the teachings of the country, govern the country with virtue, benevolence and filial piety, and observe the minister's festival!" Ju Yongwen kowtowed heavily on the ground a few times

"This matter is in charge of the general Wang Fu and the prime minister Xiao Xian, and a suitable team will be sent to escort Ju Yongwen back to Gaochang to succeed to the throne ten days later!"

It was agreed that the two princes would go and stay, and the prince and the ministers could also leave, but the emperor asked the prince to stay alone and accompany him to Hong Lim Court.

On the way to Fang Lin Yuan, the crown prince couldn't help but ask the emperor, "Wang Weiquan sent troops and horses to besiege the Assassin Mansion for such a big thing, why didn't my father condemn him?" Erchen really doesn't understand! ”

"It's true that Wang Wei is an honest man, but he is also the commander of Jin Liangwei in the northwest, without my instructions, I'm afraid you will be played by Xiao Kui this time! Okay, don't keep asking, I know what you think and do! ”

The prince almost fell, but he never expected that Wang Weiquan, who had an honest face, was also Jin Liangwei's person, but only this reason can explain everything that happened before and after.

According to the professor of the main book of Guanglu Temple, as well as the guidance of the eunuch who led the way, Wang Ruoyun Zhanfei mother and son entered the North Palace with their heads bowed and went to Fanglin Garden, where the emperor received them.

Fang Lin Yuan is in the northernmost part of the palace city, passing through the Deyang Hall and the Chongde Hall along the way, Zhan Fei looked at the two palaces curiously, and just wanted to speak, he was pulled by the eunuch and made a silent gesture.
