127 Wrong cause and effect leave grudges in the past, and settle the past to pay the dust
Shao An looked down at the child, but saw that the child also happened to look up at him. Shao An, who was curious with a pair of jet-black eyes, had very thick eyebrows. He was dressed in civilian attire, but with a black veil wrapped around his right sleeve. Obviously, when he was seven or eight years old was the most naughty, he obediently followed Xu Qi and them, not noisy or noisy.
Shao An looked at the child, looked at it, and suddenly his eyes were a little moist. Although it was the first time I saw it, I vaguely saw the shadow of the old man.
He slowly raised his hand, wanting to hug the child, but he was afraid that the child would refuse. However, what he didn't expect was that the child suddenly broke free of Zhang San's hand and took the initiative to walk towards Shao An. The corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled at Shao An, revealing a cute little dimple.
The kid actually smiled at Shao An. Zhang San and Xu Qi stood aside, looking at the scene in front of them in great surprise. Does this kid know that the person in front of him is the one his father has been jealous of for many years and has caused his father to be exiled?
Shao An asked him, "Do you know who I am?" ”
The child looked at Shao An's official uniform, recognized it at first sight, and nodded: "I know, you are Shao An Shao Junyi." My dad said that you are the person he admires the most in the world. ”
In an instant, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and a dawn pierced the sky, illuminating the long dark night, as if it also illuminated Shao An's past.
The sun shines through the leaves on the child's head and body. Shao An looked at the child's side face, and his heart was exactly the same as his father's expression. Shao An suddenly remembered that when he first met Su Shenghui in the palace, he was just a little naughty boy, swinging in the palace without worry. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and his children are so old.
"When I met your father, he was younger than you." Shao An reached out and touched the child's head, suddenly stopped moving, and looked at the black gauze on his sleeve in a daze, "Your father ...... him"
"Half a year ago, my father ...... Die. The child bowed his head as he spoke.
Shao An frowned, even if he was a deposed prince, but the news of his death would come out, and the world was plain, but he had never heard of it. Zhang San explained on the side: "The Holy Decree is that the prince will be buried in Xiling, without sacrifices, without temples, and without uniforms, the world will not be allowed to marry." ”
Shao An's eyes darkened when he heard this, but he never thought that the emperor would ...... It's so heartless!
Zhang San hurriedly supported him, and said: "But the emperor has another will, so that the emperor's eldest grandson will enter the temple jade and give him the name Zuo." ”
"Zuo?" Shao An was taken aback, this word Zuo can refer to good luck, and it also means national Zuo and the throne. I heard that in recent years, there seems to be a dispute between the princes in Beijing to seize the heir, but the emperor still does not appoint a prince. Unexpectedly, the emperor would plan to do so.
"Your father, how did you get there?"
The emperor's eldest grandson still bowed his head and remained silent.
"Heh, I see." Shao An smiled bitterly, "When he left, what were his last words?" ”
"My father only left a suicide note: where the heart desires, there is no regret in nine deaths."
Then Zhang San arranged a place for the emperor's eldest grandson, and Shao An heard Xu Qi say that the child had lived in Qianzhou since he was a child, but he didn't pull down a single book that should be read, and he was taught by the prince himself. As for the child's mother, she was a local civilian. If he didn't bring a woman on the battlefield, Xu Qi could only take the child away, but he also left a secret guard to protect her day and night.
Shao An pinched his fingers and calculated, Su Shenghui was deposed in Tai'an for six years, and it has been ten years now. In the end, he still did not wait for his father's forgiveness, left only a bloodline, and left before he was thirty years old. I don't know how sad the queen should be when she hears about the bad news.
"Why can't the waste prince think about it so much, why did he commit suicide?" Xu Qi was in the local area, and all the news was clear, it is said that Su Shenghui broke his wife and son that day, and committed suicide by cutting his wrists with a sharpened iron piece without the guards paying attention. By the time I found out, I was already out of breath. At that time, blood flowed all over the ground, and only on the table, he found the eight-character suicide note written in blood.
Shao An sighed, he had been in Qianzhou and knew the despair of being loveless. He said: "The abolition of the prince is for the sake of the child, he doesn't want the child to stay in the poor countryside of Qianzhou for the rest of his life." Only when he dies and the news of his death reaches the capital, will the emperor think of him, feel guilty, and compensate his eldest grandson. ”
"The emperor's ......" Xu Qi originally wanted to say that the emperor would pardon the abolished prince, but thinking about it, he hasn't been pardoned for ten years, and it seems that there is little hope.
"What did the Holy Lord say when he asked you to pick up the emperor's eldest grandson?"
"The emperor said, if the capital is unfortunate...... Lost. The prime minister can take the emperor's eldest grandson to reorganize the court, and he doesn't have to worry about him. Xu Qi took out the holy decree, "This is the edict of the prince written by the emperor himself, and the emperor asks the prime minister to read it first." If it agrees, please sign and issue an edict. ”
Shao An slowly unfolded it and looked at it carefully for a long time. After reading it, he looked up in the direction of the child's residence and said, "'Where the heart is, there is no regret in nine deaths'." I will fulfill you father and son. "Let's sign and seal.
※※※※※
After the arrival of the emperor's eldest grandson, everything was ready, Shao An, Gao Wei, the emperor's eldest grandson, Liu Ruqing, Xu Ce and others were escorted by three teams and seven hidden guards, and hurried to the place where General Song Yi was. On that day, after Song Yi received Shao An's talisman, he stood by on the spot, only waiting for Shao Xiang and Gao Wei to come and command.
The day before arriving at Song Yi's army, Shao An called Liu Ruqing and asked, "Have you written the essay you drafted?" ”
"It's written." Liu Ruqing was naturally ready, he took out the document and asked Shao An to look at it.
Shao An took it and took a quick look, "It's okay, I will revise the individual things that still need polishing." You go and call His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson to come here. ”
"Yes." Liu Ruqing was ordered to retreat.
When the emperor's eldest grandson arrived, Shao An was still burying his head in the file and revising the text. He waved his hand to stop the next person from reporting, and walked in quietly, without making a sound.
It wasn't until Shao An finished changing that he found out that the emperor's eldest grandson had arrived. He hurriedly got up and saluted, "Your Highness is down?" Why didn't the subordinates report it, and where the ministers neglected His Highness, they still hoped to forgive their sins. ”
The emperor's eldest grandson returned the salute slightly, and said politely: "Seeing that Shao Xiang is busy, he can't bear to disturb." ”
"Your Highness, please be seated." Shao An asked his subordinates to serve tea, and after the two sat down, Shao An said, "Looking at His Highness's proper appearance and behavior, presumably His Highness is young and well-behaved." It can be seen that your father has put a lot of effort into teaching you. ”
"Shao Xiang has a good reputation." The emperor's eldest grandson said modestly. Although he was born in the countryside and far away from the royal education, his father did not let him laugh and play like a commoner child. His father has always demanded the strictest rules for him, from poetry and etiquette to political and economic policies, the princes should learn the same things. It was all in accordance with my father's education.
Among the royal family, the education of the prince is naturally more stringent than that of other princes. Among the emperor's several princes, only Su Shenghui has received an orthodox prince education. And now it has been passed on to his son. Maybe in the dark, it should be inherited by the lineage.
"Tomorrow, in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, the ministers will read out the holy decree of making His Royal Highness the emperor's grandson. His Royal Highness received the decree, and after accepting the worship, he read the proclamation in public to boost morale. Shao An went to the text and handed it to him, "This is a text written by Liu Sheren, please remember it as soon as possible." ”
The emperor's eldest grandson took the long letter and knew that he couldn't rest today. I only heard Shao An say again: "When the time comes, the ministers will accompany His Highness on the stage, Your Highness doesn't have to be nervous, and the generals will also support Your Highness below." ”
"I know, Xie Shaoxiang taught." The emperor's eldest grandson pursed his lips, wanting to make himself more relaxed. However, Shao An knew that it was still too difficult for a seven or eight-year-old child to stand in front of an army of 200,000 to speak. But as the eldest grandson of the emperor and the future grandson of the emperor, he has to take on this responsibility.
In the early morning of the next day, Shao An and others converged with Song Yi's army. The sun rose in the east, the sun spilled through the branches and leaves to the earth, and 200,000 soldiers stood in the school field, the sun shining on the soldiers' armor, reflecting dazzling golden light.
Shao An was wearing a purple superb official uniform, holding a holy decree in his hand, and walked all the way through the passage in the middle of the army with the emperor's eldest grandson. The emperor's eldest grandson walked all the way in the array, feeling the incomparable momentum and power of the army, and his heart trembled slightly, but when he saw Shao An walking steadily by his side, he felt a lot more relieved.
They slowly ascended to the high platform in the eyes of everyone, Shao An slowly unfolded the Ming Huang Ayazi scroll in his hand, and the emperor's eldest grandson and all the soldiers present knelt down to listen to the order.
Shao An announced the decree, and the loud and clear voice sounded on the empty land, with a hint of solemnity, and reached the ears of all the soldiers. I only heard Shao An read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Su Xiangzuo, the emperor's eldest grandson, is a Japanese hero, talented and beautiful, and has the style of a grandfather,...... Awarded the treasure and established as the emperor's grandson. It is located in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years, and the heart of the four seas. ①”
As everyone guessed, this is an edict of the prince, and Su Xiangzuo is the emperor's grandson. Gao Wei, Song Yi and others had no objection and bowed to the order. Then the officers and men of the three armies also professed to obey the order, and their shouts shook the sky.
Su Xiangzuo took the holy decree in a daze, got up with Shao An's support, and accepted the kneeling of the soldiers in a daze.
He remembered the hardships of living in Qianzhou when he was young, the hard work of his father's earnest teaching, and the unwilling eyes and last words of his father when he left. Now, the crown prince that his father lost has finally made up for in him.
"Your Highness, please address the officers and men of the three armies." Shao An reminded him in a low voice, and stepped aside. The imperial grandson looked around, looking at the dark and resolute faces of the soldiers in the audience, and Su Xiangzuo's palms were full of sweat. Although he was shocked by the momentum of the three armies, his strict and upright tutor did not allow him to have stage fright at this time. After a while, Su Xiangzuo adjusted his mentality and said calmly: "Soldiers, the country is in trouble......
200,000 soldiers gathered here, and the young man on the stage publicized Sun Yi's crime of colluding with foreign enemies and plotting rebellion and rebellion. At this time, everyone held their breath, and the school field was so quiet that even the sound of the breeze could be heard. And the young man on the stage, with hatred for the enemy and confidence in the future in his crisp voice......
After the emperor's grandson finished speaking, Shao An led all the soldiers and took the lead in kneeling down and said: "Obey the fatwa!" ”
Behind Shao An are Gao Wei and Song Yi, the deputy generals, and 200,000 soldiers...... They all fell to their knees in rows, and the voices of countless people converged into one sentence: "Obey the fatwa!" ”
