Chapter 22: The Last Lesson

A voice came from outside the house, "The emperor and queen have arrived." ”

Zhao Yi said: "Emperor, you will sit here later, no need to speak, you have to study hard, today, is the last lesson that this king will teach you." ”

Zhao Yuanxi was extremely nervous and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Yuanxi's mood was mixed, he was thinking about what would happen next in his heart, and he was a little worried. He often likes to speculate on the worst outcome, and the worst outcome is that all the bad things done by Emperor Xiluan are exposed, and then he is given death. Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanxi's heart ached faintly, he always thought that he had no feelings for Emperor Xiluan, it seemed to be fake, it was wishful thinking, he couldn't deceive himself. Even if Emperor Xiluan does evil again, and even kills his own mother, Zhao Yuanxi's feelings for Emperor Xiluan still exist. Fourteen years of nurturing grace, since childhood, the emperor and queen have taken him to grow up.

He was a little unbearable, but he didn't know what to do, he didn't even know what his position was.

"The concubine pays a visit to the king." The emperor and queen, as always, were dressed in gorgeous red phoenix robes.

Zhao Yi's attitude was a little indifferent, he didn't speak, just waved his hand to signal that the emperor could sit down.

"The son has seen the queen mother." Zhao Yuanxi stood up and bowed.

Empress Xiluan nodded and said, "The emperor has grown up, and now he has become the crown prince, and he is more thoughtful and stable. This was all taught by your father, and now that your father is in good health, you must be filial. ”

Zhao Yuanxi replied: "The sons will definitely honor their fathers and mothers. ”

Zhao Yi coughed, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said, "It's important to call you here today." ”

Emperor Xiluan replied: "I don't know what the king commands?" The concubine must do it. ”

Zhao Yi waved his hand, and the guard beside him walked out, and after a while, he brought back one person and two things.

As soon as this person came in, Emperor Xiluan, who was full of spring light, was suddenly frightened and speechless, and his face was extremely ugly.

Zhao Yi asked, "Do you know this person?" ”

Emperor Xiluan replied: "The concubine has never seen this person. ”

Zhao Yi glanced impatiently, and the close-fitting brocade guard who had been standing beside him said: "This person's name is Situ Kongming, a distant relative of Emperor Xiluan, who was ordered by Emperor Xiluan a few days ago to poison the king's soup, causing the king to faint for twenty days. ”

After saying that, Jin Yiwei pointed to the guard standing behind Situ Kongming and motioned for him to come over.

Jin Yiwei said: "The thing this guard is carrying is the sweat medicine of the Situ family. ”

Empress Xiluan was a little flustered, these evidences were in front of her, she didn't know how to shirk it, and said: "The concubine doesn't know about this, is this someone deliberately framed?" The concubine has always been duty-bound and will never do these terrible things. ”

Jin Yiwei sneered and said, "The minister hasn't said what is going on, why is the emperor impatient to admit it?" But there are no three hundred taels of silver here? ”

Zhao Yi said angrily: "Kneel!" ”

This frightened Emperor Xiluan and quickly knelt down, and even Zhao Yuanxi on one side was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.

Zhao Yi said: "This king has sent people to search the Phoenix Pavilion, and all your cronies have been sent to the dungeon and interrogated one by one, I believe that something will be tried." ”

Empress Xiluan was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she crawled to Emperor Zhao Yi's bed on her knees, and said, "King, the concubine really doesn't know what's going on, don't torture the concubine's subordinates, how can they bear the punishment of the dungeon?" Please, the king, to see! ”

Zhao Yi said: "It's because you have to check clearly, so you have to check it well." Don't worry, the emperor and queen, within a day, he will be able to find out. ”

Emperor Xiluan was so frightened that she lost her mind, and the phoenix crown on her head also fell to the ground due to violent movements, several jewels slipped from the phoenix crown, and the emperor's delicate bun also fluttered on her face in a mess.

Zhao Yi said: "You don't need to explain too much, you just need to think about it, are your subordinates loyal?" Can I give up my life for you? If you are willing to confess your sins, then you will not be implicated in the Situ family, which you value the most. ”

Zhao Yi's words are heart-wrenching, the Situ family is the life of Emperor Xiluan, and she has been there for the revival of the family all her life. The Situ family was the royal family of the Northern Regions fifty or sixty years ago, and the Northern Regions were divided into two kingdoms due to internal strife, and the Situ family also fled to the Central Plains because of the defeat, and lived under the Liufang Mountains to preserve their strength, and then formed the Liufang City, and the foundation of the Situ family is now here.

Emperor Xiluan's thirst for power is entirely because of her family, she is determined to attack the Northern Regions in order to restore her surname Situ family, over the years she has repeatedly informed Emperor Zhao Yi of her thoughts, hoping that the Kingdom of Ji will attack the Northern Regions, but Zhao Yi is a pacifist, he scoffs at the war, and always refuses directly, without consideration. Therefore, Emperor Xiluan decided to do it herself, to use her son to ascend the throne and control the military power, so as to send troops to the Northern Regions and seek back the territory and the rights of the royal family for the Situ family.
