Just when Shao An was stunned, Feng Che finally returned home, and as soon as he entered the study, he hurriedly asked for sin: "Lao Shao has been waiting for a long time, and the next official is late." ”

Shao An put down the paper in his hand and pulled the corners of his mouth, "It's okay, I didn't wait long." ”

Feng Che looked at the paper on the table and smiled awkwardly, "The ugly handwriting of the lower official made Shao Xiangjian smile." ”

"On weekdays, I have seen a lot of the Taiwan Pavilion style you wrote, but today I saw the wild grass at first glance, and it has a different charm." Shao An walked out of the study and sat down in the hall, "You called this official, is there anything wrong?" ”

"The lower officials have important matters." Feng Che said as he walked to the door and closed the door and window tightly.

Shao An was stunned, what the hell is this Feng Che.

After closing the doors and windows, Feng Che stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Shao Xiang, the lower officials have found out that the prince participated in this rebellion. This is a recital, please take a look at it. ”

Shao An's hand holding the tea shook and almost knocked over the teacup. Sure enough, what are you afraid of, what is coming. He stabilized his mind, took the chapter, and looked at it at a glance, only to see that Feng Che had investigated it extremely carefully, and even the time and place of the first meeting between the King of Jin and the crown prince in the capital had been ascertained.

"You already knew that the prince rebelled?" Shao An closed the music and asked sharply.

"Yes." Feng Che admitted without fear, "At that time, the King of Jin entered Beijing without an edict, and the lower officials had already noticed that something was wrong. Later, it was discovered that the King of Jin had secretly confiscated the prince, and he felt that there must be a conspiracy. It's just that the lower officials don't have any physical evidence, so they don't dare to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rashly. ”

"So, you used the 'candle shadow axe' to lure me to Hangzhou. Catch the king of Jin first, and then lure the prince to make a move. After the evidence of the prince's rebellion was caught, a letter was written, wanting to knock the prince down? ”

"Exactly."

Shao An looked at him with pity, shook his head and said, "You shouldn't know that the emperor attaches great importance to the crown prince, why do you have to touch the scales?" This official advises you that those who know the times are handsome. ”

Feng Che said angrily: "The lower officials only know that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. ”

"The crown prince is the eldest son, and if he is abolished, it will definitely cause unrest in the government and the opposition. The rest of the emperor's heirs were still young, and it was not clear which prince could take on the great responsibility. Who should this crown prince be given to? ”

"The prince is the heir, the son of tomorrow. If you misbehave and commit a crime, how will you serve all the people of the world in the future? Does the prime minister want to watch the country fall into the hands of a man without a king and a father? ”

Shao Anxin felt guilty, the prince was a good boy, but only because of his lame leg and resentment of the emperor and himself would his temperament change greatly. But Feng Che wouldn't know about this, and he couldn't explain it. Shao An had to persuade from the other side: "Regardless of the world for the time being, even if it is for your own career and family, don't get into trouble." ”

Feng Che smiled bitterly, "Didn't the prime minister see what I wrote, is the lower official the kind of person who covets power and loves his life?" ”

Shao An finally understood at this moment why Feng Che wrote those derogatory poems.

It turns out that in the world, there are really people who know that they can't do it, Shao Anxin has admiration, regret, and helplessness. He calmed down and said indifferently: "Your recital will not reach the emperor's hands." ”

"The Prime Minister wants to withhold the concerto? Unfortunately, it was already late. The reason why Xia Guan arrived home so late was that after waiting for Shao Xiang to leave, he submitted this letter to Zhongshu Province. "Feng Che was meticulous and thoughtful. He had already seen the attitude of the emperor and Shao An from the fact that he wanted to release Zhizhou. They will be as merciful to the crown prince as they were to the king of Jin.

Shao An was taken aback, he didn't expect Feng Che to actually play with him. Shao An was supposed to be on duty tonight, but due to Feng Che's invitation, he failed to stay in Zhongshu Province. At this moment, Shao An and Sun Yi are not in Zhongshu Province, there are only some Zhongshu waiters and sheren who are on duty at night, and when they see that it is a recital to impeach the prince, they will not dare to press it, and they will definitely hand it over to the saint immediately. The most important thing is that Feng Che is not playing with a secret fold, there are many people in Zhongshu Province, and they must have all been passed on.

Presumably, tomorrow the court will be boiling again, and the matter of the prince cannot be suppressed. Shao An glanced at Feng Che with a headache, and then without saying a word, he rushed out of the door angrily.

Mrs. Feng, who was cooking, caught a glimpse of this, and ran to the study in confusion to ask her husband, "Why did the prime minister leave?" Don't you keep him for a meal? ”

Feng Che shook his head slightly, "Madam, it seems that we are moving again." I've been running around with me all these years, and I've suffered you. ”

※※※※※

Although it was useless, Shao An still hurried into the palace and asked to see the saint. Now that the situation is now, it is definitely impossible to suppress this matter anymore, but it cannot be allowed to develop wantonly, and it is necessary to discuss a remedy with the emperor.

By the time Shao An arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor had already studied Feng Che's letter several times.

"Isn't anyone watching in Zhongshu Province? How did you get this fold? As soon as the emperor saw Shao An, he was furious and threw the fold in his hand at his feet.

Shao An hurriedly picked up the chapter, put it on the dragon case, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It's the minister's carelessness." He didn't pull out Feng Che, and he wouldn't say that he had fallen for Feng Che's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

"Heaven is forgivable; and thou shalt not live. It seems that God doesn't want to forgive him. The emperor tilted his head and instructed the chamberlain, "Go and invite the East Palace." ”

Shao An understands that now that the prince's rebellion has spread, the abolition of the prince is certain. As for whether it will be exiled or imprisoned, it will depend on the final outcome of the trial.

During the time when the chamberlain delivered the edict to the crown prince, the emperor picked up Feng Che's fold on the desk again and read it again. After reading it, he gently put down the chapter and said to Shao An: "Feng Che has a sentence that is right, if you are in peace with the world, you must first correct your body, and there is no one who is upright and has a song, and the upper rule is chaotic." (1) And the crown prince, who is not filial to his parents and disloyal to the monarch, how can he settle the world in the future? ”

Before long, the prince arrived. Shao An peeked at the prince and saw that his face was haggard, and his figure was obviously a little thinner. It seems that during this period of secret house arrest, the prince had a very hard time.

The prince dragged his stump leg and walked forward slowly, kneeling down with difficulty to salute. The emperor did not ask him to get up and sit down as usual, but said to Shao An and Gonggong Chen, "You stand down for the time being, and I will summon you later." ”

"Yes." Shao An and Gonggong Chen glanced at each other, this is to deal with family affairs, don't look at what you shouldn't see, it's better to withdraw early.

The empty hall was empty, and only the emperor and the crown prince remained. This gentleman and a minister, a father and a son, stood and knelt, holding each other silent. The emperor looked at his eldest son, who had high hopes, and knelt down in front of him lonely at the moment. The son's eyes were still as bright as they were, but they had sunk into a circle. It seems that under house arrest, there is no shortage of hardships.

"Thinking about these days behind closed doors in the East Palace, do you want to figure out what is wrong?"

"My mistake is that I was unfortunate to be born in the emperor's family, and unfortunately became your son." The prince said stubbornly, "If I am not your son, I can do what I like, I can enter the profession if I like to study, I can save people if I like to study medicine, and I can sing if I like opera." Instead of staying in the cold East Palace like now, being the prince! ”

"You finally spoke your heart, all these years, it's suffocated." The emperor said coldly, "It's a pity that you cast the wrong baby, as a child of the royal family, the eldest grandson, you have no choice." That throne, of course, is not something you can sit on if you want to, but it is not something you can sit on without sitting if you want to. Now that he has become the crown prince, he will either become a king or be defeated. ”

After that, the emperor took out a rattan cane out of nowhere, held it in his right hand and gently tapped it on the palm of his left hand.

The crown prince glanced at the rattan cane, angry and aggrieved in his heart, and said to the emperor sadly: "Why do you teach me. Father, have you ever taken care of me? Did you teach me to read? Have you ever seen me dance a sword? You've been away from me since I was six or seven years old. You went to the battlefield for the throne and abandoned me and my mother. ”

"Shut up." The emperor scolded, and raised his hand ruthlessly.

"You don't accompany me, but you accompany Shao An! You teach him to read and play chess, and you take him to battle. The prince shouted, "Who is your son?" The doctor said that as long as I was so early in the incense time, my leg would not be lame. But you, choose to save Shao An first, not me. ”

"His life was in danger at the time, and the situation was ten thousand times more dangerous than yours, so I naturally wanted to save him first, and then save you."

"He's just a wild child, why save him."

"Rebel." The emperor was angry and slapped his son again, "After reading so many books, have you read them all in vain?" Mencius said: 'The old man and the old man; The young of me, and the young of man. 'Don't you remember the words of the saints?' As a prince, but you lack benevolence, how can I hand over the people of the country to you? ”

"This country has never been what I wanted. And what I wanted, you were stingy and refused to give it to me. "The prince only wants a father's love, but there is no family affection in the heavenly family, and this most ordinary wish has become a luxury.

When the emperor heard this, his eyes went dark, and the rattan cane in his hand fell to the ground, making a violent crashing sound......

"Father!" The prince was shocked, but he didn't expect his father, who had always been strong, to faint by his anger.

Shao An and Gonggong Chen had been waiting outside the door, and when they heard the call of the prince inside, they hurriedly broke in, and sure enough, they saw the emperor falling to the ground in embarrassment. Shao An was taken aback, he watched the master he had followed for many years collapse suddenly, and his always majestic face showed a deep tiredness.

With Shao An's support, the emperor slowly sat up, and he shook his head slightly, signaling that Shao An was fine. Then, the emperor looked at his son disappointed and sad, and said tiredly: "Huai'en, send the prince back to the East Palace." ”

Gonggong Chen received the order, he and Shao An glanced at each other, then pulled up the prince and escorted him back to the palace.

Looking at the back of the prince leaving, Shao Anxin was not satisfied. Suddenly, I heard the Emperor's heavy sigh in my ears......

"It was my dereliction of duty as a father that I didn't have time for him, and I suffered too much loneliness when I was young. Later, he dragged you into the party struggle between the prince and the king of Jin, and you were plotted by the deposed prince Su Jinyu and almost died. His legs are also ......" The emperor recalled that past time, his expression was sad, and his voice gradually deepened, and finally turned into a lament......

After all, the prince is still too young to know what love is. In fact, earnest teaching is love, speaking fiercely is love, relying on each other is love, and watching silently is also love.

However, Shao An deeply understood a sentence at this moment: thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace.
