As the crown prince, the third prince needs to consider the filial piety of brothers, friends and brothers, so he can't speak ill of the second prince who obviously has no feelings, and the bear child of the fourth prince found that his father seemed to be quite sad, so he knew that he was easy to say the wrong thing, so he was smart to keep silent, but Zhu Ying had no scruples.

Love and hate are clear, which is originally her biggest purpose in dealing with people, even if she is really the daughter of the emperor and Concubine Yu, but the second prince has a grudge against her, she doesn't want to pretend to shed tears and accompany the emperor to be sad, she is not a good son like the third prince!

And after piercing this layer of window paper, the father and son before she met all had stiff faces, and immediately softened his tone and said: "The second prince has been unable to get along with me since he was a child, but he can't beat me in fights, he can't quarrel with me, and he can't beat me in quarrels, and he has been crushed by me with force in his tricks, so only he is sorry for me, but I have never been sorry for him!" And what about you, Your Majesty, are you sorry for him? ”

"It's not that you haven't touched your heart to teach them personally, but the result is not all ...... by the queen Scrapped back to the back? Not to mention the third and fourth princes, who would have feelings for their brother who had always bullied them and despised them? The emperor just heard the news, probably thinking that you were too ruthless to the second prince and even the eldest prince, but what about the people who have been victimized by them? ”

"Oh, the eldest prince has harmed a bunch of people in Cangzhou, and the second prince is just making trouble on his own territory, at most, he killed a few servants and maids, and when the street speaks badly to Lu Sanlang's current wife, he stirs up a bunch of farces. But if it weren't for the suspicion of mother and son, how could it be? ”

"To tell you the truth, even more innocent is the person on the boat who was willing to be buried with him!"

"Shut up!"

Hearing the emperor's low roar, the third prince, who was shocked by Zhu Ying's bold words just now, hurriedly added another hand, pressed the back of the emperor's hand, and persuaded bitterly: "Father, Sister Yingying, she has always been so straightforward, please don't blame her, she has no malicious intentions!" ”

The fourth prince also reacted, and hurriedly said: "Yes, father, Sister Yingying was bullied by the eldest brother and the second brother together, if she wasn't so powerful, she would have been bullied miserably!" She's just telling the truth, don't be angry, father! ”

Seeing that the brothers were all trying their best to help themselves speak, Zhu Ying's face suddenly showed a sneering smile, and then she curtched very casually and said: "If the emperor is not happy with what I said, I will admit the punishment when I turn around, but I didn't say the wrong thing, so I will never admit my mistake!" It's late at night, and I have to go to court tomorrow, and I ask the emperor not to stay up late and get tired. Not to mention ......"

She straightened up and glanced at the two little ones with nervous faces, as if she was afraid that she would continue to speak amazingly, but beckoned: "What's more, the third prince and the fourth prince have a heavy workload now, and going to bed late and getting up late is not good for their health, and even worse for their schoolwork!" Moreover, they are the ones who are really worried about you. I'm quitting! ”

Seeing Zhu Ying talking to herself and turning straight out, the third prince and the fourth prince were completely dumbfounded, and they didn't know whether to stop people or just let them go.

The fourth prince has always acted impulsively, but at this time, he wanted to chase Zhu Ying as soon as he let go, but when he ran a step, he was grabbed by the collar, and he turned his head in annoyance and found that it was not his third brother, but his father, and he immediately stood honestly. But when Zhu Ying went out, he couldn't help but take two steps back and asked in a low voice, "Really let Sister Yingying go like this?" ”

"Your father was almost scolded by her pointing his nose, you want to chase her back and let me continue to be scolded?"

The emperor glared at the bear child with a straight face, and when he saw that people were silent, he let go of his hand, and let him run behind the third prince to hide, and then he said angrily: "When my aunt entered the palace before, she was speechless, but now Yingying Qing is better than blue, and she has beaten me again!" really entered the door of the Zhu family, and acting in a way is the character of the Zhu family! ”

The third prince found that the emperor didn't seem to be as angry as he imagined, and he couldn't help but pluck up the courage to say: "Father, what Sister Yingying said just now is not unreasonable, this matter needs to be investigated, but there must be a result as soon as possible." Otherwise, someone will definitely talk nonsense and slander the reputation of his father. ”

"I don't have a good reputation in the first place." The Emperor laughed self-deprecatingly, "When I was still the crown prince, I had a bad reputation, and you are really incomparable to your diligence and studiousness now, and you are gentle and polite. So, my reputation doesn't matter, but your reputation can't be damaged. I even thought about whether I should simply admit that I had caused the ship to sink halfway......"

"Father!" This time, it was the third prince who exclaimed. His face was so pale that he even chattered his teeth, and it took him a long time before he struggled to exclaim, "How can my father think like this!" Erchen, the crown prince, has only been in office for a few days, and he doesn't care about his reputation, and his father, as the Son of Heaven, how can he tarnish his reputation? And, what will the bereaved families of the captain and shipwright sailors on that ship! ”

"Yes, I also thought of those innocent victims, and only then did I realize that I couldn't carry this black cauldron...... I didn't do it in the first place, why should I carry this black cauldron! ”

The emperor smiled, but he rubbed it twice directly on the head of the third prince, and when he saw the fourth prince poking his head out from behind the third prince, he gave a thumbs up and shook it, and he didn't know whether to praise him as his father or the third prince's brother, he couldn't help but be a little funny.

"But I have already thought about it, and I will announce the death of your second brother when I go back, and tell the world that he is dead."

When he said this, the emperor's expression turned cold, and his eyes were also cold: "Since he didn't do anything good when he was alive, don't cause chaos now because his life and death are unknown." If someone really rescued him and sent him to the capital, then I could naturally turn back. But if someone comes out in his name in the future......"

"Then, pretending to be a prince, there is no forgiveness for killing!"

Faced with such a murderous tone from his father, the fourth prince suddenly shuddered, but the third prince couldn't help but ask: "But what if my father said the second brother...... The second brother is dead, how can others send him to Beijing? In case he goes to the government to ask for help......"

Hearing the death word in a very soft voice, as if he felt that it was really unlucky to say this, the emperor glanced at his crown prince angrily and funny, but shook his head and said: "If the shipwreck is an accident, then his chances of survival are very small." If the shipwreck is a conspiracy, then there are two more possibilities. ”

"The first possibility is that if someone else wants to kill him, then he will never survive. In the mortal environment of the sea, even a good swimmer has to rely on luck to survive, let alone him? It can be said that he is almost dead. ”

"As for the second possibility, if someone else makes such a big move to save him, then naturally he will definitely be rescued. After being rescued, he will never be sent to Beijing. Regardless of occupying the mountain as the king, falling grass as the coward, and rising up, there will always be corresponding news at that time. I took the first step to say that the person was dead, so that in the future, when the local government and garrison purge or suppress, they will be able to have fewer scruples! ”

This time, the third prince really felt chills all over his body. If it weren't for the four princes behind him pressing on his shoulders, he had always been well protected by his father, and he was bullied by his mother and two brothers in the past, and he almost felt a little unstable on his feet. He immediately understood what his father said to him, and what Zhang Shou meant by what he said.

I understood what they meant by reminding him all the time and asking him to treat his fourth brother well.

It turns out that sometimes even if you don't die, there are a lot of malicious eyes staring, and there are a lot of malicious black hands ready to reach over anytime and anywhere! If the second prince really falls into the hands of these people, then it is really better to die!

What did the emperor say next, the third prince was already a little confused, most of the time he was just passive, until he quit, he was a little surprised, but because the fourth prince dragged him, he didn't say anything in the end, until he walked out of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the cold wind blew on his face, and he finally came to his senses.

And the changes before and after the three princes, the emperor saw it in his eyes, but he did not continue to beat and remind, until the brothers left, and he sat on the throne before sighing softly. After a long time, he heard Hua Qi's voice: "Your Majesty, just after Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Zhao Guo went to see the Queen Mother together, the Queen Mother went to Xian'an Palace to meet Concubine Jing. ”

For such an unexpected incident, the emperor did not react too violently. He sneered listlessly: "The Queen Mother will not go to give death to Concubine Jing and clean up the mess for me, right?" ”

He was just saying it casually, but when he found that Hua Qi didn't answer, he became angry again. But before he could question sharply, Hua Qi had already repeated the Queen Mother's last words to Concubine Jing before leaving. At this moment, the emperor sighed weakly and deeply.

The Queen Mother may just casually push the black pot to the queen and the eldest prince, maybe there is really relevant evidence, but now, it is no longer interesting to investigate whether it is true or false.

Since the abolition of the post-abolition, or more accurately, the abandonment of the elder and the young, he has no other choice. Just like Mrs. Tai's deafening words, since he does not regret setting up the third prince, his reaction in the face of this sudden incident can only be the only one.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said word by word: "I remember that I told Chu Kuan before to go through the classics and see how the imperial concubine's canonization ceremony was. Thinking about it, with his initiative to do things, the corresponding canons should have been turned over. There is almost no difference between the crown and dress of the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine, as long as the etiquette can be in accordance with the etiquette, the canonization ceremony of the concubine can be done another day. ”

Before the emperor decided not to succeed the queen, and even let the news out, and finally promoted the two concubines, Hua Qi naturally knew that the Son of Heaven was unwilling to invoke the ancient rite that the son is more precious than the mother, and the mother is more expensive than the son.

But at this juncture, the emperor suddenly wants to add Concubine He as the imperial concubine, so it is clearly to put an end to the mouth, and it is no longer based on his own likes and dislikes. After all, Concubine He is really not a favorite.

"The minister will go to Ciqing Palace immediately." After agreeing solemnly, Hua Qi said in a deep voice, "When the second prince set off from Tianjin, there was indeed only one boat, and it is said that it was because that boat was a two-thousand-material sea ship, which had a good name and could carry many people, and there was a small boat on board just in case. On board were a total of 60 sergeants sent by the Zhenhai battalion, and more than 40 captains and sailors. ”

"Add in the miscellaneous retinue and the like, and there are probably one or two hundred people on board. The specific number of ministers, the ministers are not very clear, and the Duke of Chu is probably more clear, but this matter is mainly entrusted to the Zhenhai camp, after all, the Linhai camp has had two incidents. ”

For Hua Qi's explanation, the emperor didn't ask much, but waved his hand slightly, as if to signal someone to do it immediately. After the person disappeared silently, the Son of Heaven laughed twice.

Almost, he just thought that it was his mother who had no last resort, cut the grass for him, eradicate the hidden dangers, and then push the black pot to the waste queen. But after thinking about it again, if the Queen Mother really wants to do this, then the Queen Mother and the eldest prince, the second prince, the mother and the son will probably all die in the palace, and they will not be released at all, leaving any hidden dangers, and he feels as if he is thinking too much.

But he really couldn't forget that when his father swallowed his last breath, he was still crying in shock, but the queen mother had already wiped away her tears and went out to arrange everything, and then when she was in charge of state affairs, her methods were even more flexible and tough, which made people dazzled, as if she had expected this day.

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop...... I want to see what kind of ghost it is! ”

This night, from the Zhao Guogong Mansion to the palace, I don't know how many people stayed awake all night, but this does not include Zhang Shou, who successfully made many people depressed today.

It's always best to sleep in the morning on a cold day, and when he was called up by Ah Liu, he inevitably got up a little angry. After washing, he was pulled outside by Ah Liuqiang to move his body and dance the sword for a quarter of an hour - although he felt that he could not become a swordsman in his life, let alone beat Zhu Ying, it did not prevent him from hiding a means of self-defense as much as possible.

When Zhang Shou took Ah Liu out of the car to board the car, he unexpectedly found that there was snow in the air, and there was a row of people standing in the snow under the wall in front of his house, and there was one every few steps away, roughly estimated, at least twenty or thirty. Looking at the outfit, it seems to be from the Sharp Cavalry Battalion.

Seeing Zhang Shou turn his head to look at him, Ah Liu said simply and clearly: "They said that they were on orders, and there was nothing else to say." ”

Thinking that there didn't seem to be any signs yesterday, Zhang Shou was suddenly very suspicious, but thinking about it again, no one came up to interfere with him going out, he thought about it for a while and instructed the porter: "Go back and ask them if they need hot soup and breakfast." If you want, send them over, and if they can't because they have strict rules, then you have to forget it. ”

After saying this, Zhang Shou immediately took Ah Liu to board the car and sit down, and then closed his eyes and recuperated. What does the housekeeper do, he should be here to help him guard the house? Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, a few more janitors who don't want money, he makes money anyway!
