116. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
In the imperial study, the emperor took the file handed over by Dali Temple, flipped through the two pages, and felt that his eyes were black for a while, and he almost fainted.
"Half a year, more than 20 assassinations - crazy, he is simply crazy!"
Dali Siqing fell to the ground and said carefully: "The king of Dingbei is young and vigorous, and he has always regarded himself as the eldest son...... The emperor favored Lou Zhuangyuan too much, and King Dingbei was inevitably unhappy. If the heart is uneven, disaster will arise. β
Emperor Huo Ran got up, and "whoa" waved all the pen and ink on the bookcase to the ground: "If his heart is uneven, he should make one or two merits, so that I can see his ability!" At a young age, he has never contributed to the community, and second, he has never benefited the people, but he has learned a set of insidious and vicious mental methods, jealous and jealous, and kills people at every turn, how can I tolerate him! Someoneβ"
Prime Minister Ning Cheng, who was accompanying him, hurriedly knelt down and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please take a break from the thunder, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run!" β
When the emperor heard this, he was even more angry, and he raised his foot and kicked on the old prime minister's shoulder: "Think about it in the long run? How to think long-term! He killed me...... Do I still have to pretend that nothing happens?! I am the king and the father, can't I even deal with a rebellious son! β
"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Ning fell to the ground and cried, "The minister asks the emperor to plan for the world!" Lou Zhuangyuan has died and cannot be resurrected, you are the king of Dingbei who has died, and it is useless! The emperor does not have many heirs, if he disposes of the king of Dingbei, who should he pay for this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the future......"
The emperor grabbed the only paperweight on the desk that had never fallen, and shed tears: "If you don't deal with him, do you acquiesce in his madness to eliminate dissidents?" The son of evil has such a character, how can I rest assured that I can entrust the country! β
Dali Siqing knelt forward and persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, the king of Qinghe has a sparse temperament and has no intention of the world, and the only one who can inherit the unification in the future is the king of the north!" Although the king of Dingbei has committed a crime today, he can only punish the big commandment, not only can he not kill or injure, but also cannot be made public to the world, otherwise the people inside and outside the court will be uneasy! β
"Small punishment and big commandment, no killing...... Ha," the Emperor sat back in despair, "and today he has committed such a great crime, and I have to take care of the punishment of him; If he thinks that he has lived too long and does something to kill his father and the king, will you also turn a blind eye? For the sake of the stability of the country...... How can the country be stable in the hands of such a beast! Lou Ming'an's wolf ambition, what is the difference between the traitor who killed the king and usurped the throne twenty years ago! β
In the end, the emperor was overwhelmed with grief and tears.
The two important ministers knew that he was grieved, and they did not dare to persuade him for a while, so they had to quietly prostrate themselves on the ground, waiting for the emperor to figure it out for himself.
The final ending is unsuspenseful, as the emperor, he must figure it out, and he will definitely figure it out.
But the process of figuring it out must have been very painful.
The emperor lay on the empty table, thinking about the twenty years of worry, thinking of the short-lived young scholar who surprised him everywhere, and who was pinned on his high hopes, his heart ached like a wrench, and old tears were rampant.
I still remember that three years ago, that young man won the championship in the township and traveled to Beijing for the first time, how handsome and high-spirited he was at that time!
That child was better than anything he had imagined before, and he had never lived up to his painstaking efforts twenty years ago, let alone his twenty years of concern......
But now, all the good things have come to an abrupt end.
Because of his love and because of his high hopes, the high-spirited young man was lost in a dirty conspiracy.
used to be popular for a while, but in the end he disappeared silently, and he couldn't even leave a word.
He hadn't even had time to marry and have children. Although there was a much-maligned woman - yes, that woman was also dead, along with the unborn child.
Martyrdom? How could a woman who does not abide by women's morals choose to die of martyrdom? Especially when she still has a baby in her womb!
What a good one, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no trouble!
Lou Ming'an, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, is so vicious!
The emperor held the jade handle of his sword in his hand and trembled incessantly.
He knew that only by killing that rebel could he make his heart feel better, but he couldn't.
As Prime Minister Ning Cheng and Dali Siqing said, the king of Hejian has a cowardly temperament and dull qualifications, and he is really unbearable to entrust with big things. If even Lou Ming'an dies, there will really be no successor to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The emperor cried silently on the bookcase for more than half an hour, and finally slowly raised his head: "Proposed purpose: posthumously present the new champion building as ......"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It's back! They're back! A little eunuch burst in screaming.
Zhang Ping, the chief eunuch, kicked over: "Presumptuous! The Imperial Study is also something you can break into?! β
The little eunuch was kicked to the door, got up and wiped his aching forehead casually, but with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you're back!" Champion Lang is back! β
"What?!" The Emperor stood up abruptly and went straight to the door.
A large group of people in the distance were walking towards this side, and the emperor saw the familiar figure at a glance.
He had just had time to smile on his face, but his feet suddenly went limp, and he almost fell.
The little eunuch who came to report the news was quick-eyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him: "Your Majesty, it's true!" Champion Lang is back safely! β
"Haha...... Reward! The Emperor laughed, his throat a little hoarse.
Zhang Ping narrowed his eyes and glanced at the little eunuch: "You kid, what a blessing!" β
As he spoke, a large group of people had already poured under the porch.
The emperor finally saw it clearly: in front was Lou Ming'an, the commander of Yulinwei, who was wearing a black robe, and behind was a group of Yulinlang escorting two or three hundred soldiers in light armor, and Lou Que was not far away, with a flat expression.
The emperor took the little eunuch's hand and slowly walked back to the back of the bookcase and sat down, as if he could clearly feel that his heart, which was so painful that it was torn apart, was slowly becoming whole again.
Peace, back.
He raised his head slowly, his expression flat: "Qi Fei, what's the matter?" β
The commander of Yulinwei carried Lou Ming'an into the door and knelt down together, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor: Weichen led the crowd back from Xichi, and heard the people talk that a large number of unknown people surrounded Yuxian Tower, so I went to check and learned that the light armor soldiers were the soldiers of the king of Dingbei, and they were surrounding Lou Zhuangyuan with the intention of killing. Weichen thought that this matter was related to the prince and the new champion, so he didn't dare to interfere rashly, so he came to ask the emperor to decide! β
"Two or three hundred soldiers surrounded the restaurant, just to kill one person?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.
Qi Fei bowed his head and said, "Exactly." The people in the restaurant have been expelled, and in addition to the prince and the soldiers, there is only one person at the scene. β
"Yes, yes!" The emperor grabbed the only remaining paperweight on the table and threw it at Lou Ming'an: "The shipwreck didn't drown him, you finally can't help but do it yourself, right?" Take two or three hundred soldiers to kill people on the street in the downtown - you are so capable! β
Lou Ming'an took a few steps forward on his knees and raised his head: "Father, you can't just listen to the words of others and convict your son!" Please tell the truth to the commander of Qi, when you arrived at Yuxian Tower, did you see that this king was going to kill Lou Que, or was Lou Que going to kill this king? β
Without waiting for Qi Fei to answer, the emperor sneered: "Do you mean to say that Lou Que was alone, surrounded by hundreds of government soldiers, and almost killed you?" In this way, Lou Que doesn't have to enter the Hanlin Academy, I directly give him a soldier and a horse, and let him open up the territory for me! β
Lou Mingan wiped his eyes, and tears rolled down: "Father! Have you made up your mind to favor Lou Que? Who is your son? β
"Don't cry," the Emperor said, gesturing to the scattered pieces on the ground, "Pick up the case file in front of you and take a look!" β
Lou Ming'an picked up a fold on the ground, which was the case file that Dali Temple had just sent.
After a cursory look, his tears were stopped.
"What else do you have to say?" The Emperor didn't look at him again, his eyes fixed on the glare table.
Lou Mingan knelt up straight and calmed down: "Father, this is all Diao Nu's revenge and forged a lie to frame me!" The son pleads not guilty! β
Dali Siqing knelt forward and sneered: "Does the prince mean that my Dali Temple trial is unclear, so that the prince has been wronged?" β
Lou Ming'an spat out: "Who is your Dali Temple colluding with, do you really think that this king doesn't know?" β
"Enough!" The emperor slapped the table, "You are the prince, not a market shrew who can live by sprinkling and rolling!" The things you did, the people in your house have already recruited, the evidence is conclusive, you don't have to say anything! β
Lou Ming'an Huo Ran stood up: "So, my father is going to punish me?" You also said that I am the prince! If you want to cure my sins, you should give an explanation to the people of the world, right? Don't say that I didn't kill Lou Que in the end, even if I killed him? Do you want me to pay for his life? As a king, as a father, you are so mean and unkind, what do you make the world think? β
Prime Minister Ning raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The prince is wrong in what he said. You have murdered Lou Zhuangyuan several times, if the emperor doesn't ask, that is the real mean and unkind, that is the real chill in the hearts of the people in the world! β
Lou Ming'an's face changed slightly: "Prime Minister Ning, were you also bought by Lou Que?" - Father, before he entered the court, he had already begun to form a party for personal gain, and his heart could be punished......"
The emperor didn't pay attention to his clamor anymore, and ordered Zhang Ping: "Proposed purpose: Dingbei Wang Lou Ming'an, the wolf's ambition is wrong, he plots to kill his brother and is not filial, and he is deprived of his title and abolished as a concubine, and he will never be released without an edict in the forbidden mansion!" β
Lou Ming'an's face changed greatly: "You want to abolish me as a concubine?!" But-Prime Minister Ning, you have a word! If my father deposes me, the world will be ...... in the future Who are you going to support? The King of the River, that shit?! β
Prime Minister Ning Cheng and Dali Siqing did not speak, and the emperor had already read out the second decree in a flat tone: "The scholar of Sangyu County, the champion of the new branch Louque, and the son of my sister-in-law." Twenty years ago, the puppet emperor killed his clan relatives, and I was deeply afraid, so after the birth of his eldest son, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to raise Shangshu Lou Heng and return to the people. Now that this son has completed his studies and returned to the dynasty, I should return to his ancestors and be recorded in the genealogy. β
"The Great Zhou Kingdom should be established, and the eldest son of my grandson, Lou Que Ri is Yingqi, and his talent is pure and beautiful, and I would like to inform heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji, on May 16, the first year of Zhengding, he was awarded a book and a treasure, and he was established as the crown prince. It is located in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years, and the heart of the four seas. β
"Lou Heng, the former secretary of the Ministry of Works, was unjustly convicted of protecting the prince in the past and lost his parents; In the past 20 years, he has endured hardships in the countryside to raise the prince, and has made great contributions to the society, and has been specially awarded the prince and the prince, and has been given a thousand taels of gold, and the descendants have been in the shadow of the generations. β
β¦β¦
Lou Ming'an listened to the emperor dictating the holy decrees in a plain tone, and watched Zhang Ping's slightly trembling pen tip leave ink on the yellow silk, only to feel a chill in his heart.
So fast, so ruthless!
He thought that his father would look ahead, he thought that although Lou Que had that identity, he had been in the people for 20 years, and it would be difficult to find his identity.
Who knew that his father, who had always been cautious, would go against the norm and make such a major incident of the past known to the world!
The monarch and the minister changed their sons, and fabricated charges to frame the minister to leave Beijing......
Such a truth is not glorious, but the emperor not only said it, but also said it clearly in the holy decree!
The eldest son.
Just recognized his identity, the holy decree recorded in the genealogy and the holy decree of the crown prince were issued at the same time, what kind of uproar will be caused in this way, the emperor will not know, and the courtiers will not know!
But the emperor did not hesitate, Prime Minister Ning Cheng and Dali Siqing did not stop it, and Lou Que did not refuse!
All of them took it as normal, and he was the only one...... He was the only one at a loss, and he only felt that his sky had fallen.
Originally, his father had only two sons, both of whom were concubines, and he was the eldest.
He has always felt that everything his father has will belong to him in the future.
This is the reason why he was confused after learning Lou Que's true identity.
The eldest son fell from the sky, what did he become?!
Lou Ming'an looked at Lou Que from several people, his eyes full of unwillingness.
His father said he was mad.
But he was clearly not like this before! If it weren't for this eldest brother who came out of the middle of the road, where would he be "mad"! Who did not boast of his wisdom and charity in the first fifteen or sixteen years?
It's all to blame Lou Que, it's all to blame Lou Que!
Lou Ming was unwilling.
After writing several holy decrees in a row and using a big seal, Zhang Ping had already wiped his sweat several times.
This is, the world is turned upside down in one day!
The emperor abolished one son and found another son, and the ministers had been arguing for months about the establishment of the prince, and it was decided in a few words, and there was not even a chance to argue!
But......
Zhang Ping looked at Prime Minister Ning and Dali Siqing, who were kneeling on the ground silently, and let go of most of his heart.
It seems that the ministers don't seem to have anything to quarrel about.
So, that's it?
Lou Ming'an was reluctant, but with Yu Linwei escorting, he didn't even have a few words before he was dragged out.
As for the government soldiers he brought, one of them fell, and all of them were dragged out and beheaded.
He still lives in the Dingbei Palace, but no one in the mansion, from the guards to the maidservants, will listen to him.
Trapped!
For the royal family, confinement is only a little better than death.
- yes, at least that's a little better!
As long as people live, what will not happen in the future?
Lou Mingan gritted his teeth, turned his head and stared at Lou Que resentfully.
There was silence again in the study. The emperor let out a long sigh: "Que'er, I owe you twenty years, and I will return it to you today." β
Prime Minister Ning Cheng and Dali Siqing hurriedly bowed to Lou Que: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
Lou Que knelt down facing the emperor and bowed.
There was no excuse from beginning to end.
He didn't even bother to say a word of humble words such as "talent and virtue are not worthy of great responsibilities".
The emperor laughed: "You, you don't even want to do face-saving work, and those old-fashioned people in the court will grind their teeth in the future!" β
Lou Que stood up with a flat expression: "Father, great sorrow and joy, it is useless to the dragon body." β
"Hah!" The emperor laughed, but the smile on his face disappeared, and his tone became a little stern: "Do you still know how to care about my life and death? I come to ask you: Where have you been hiding these days? Since you're alive, why didn't you send me a message sooner?! β
Lou Que bowed his head and bowed, and his tone was light: "After Erchen fell into the water, he contracted the wind and cold, and heard that the Dingbei Wangfu was secretly searching, so he hid in the inn and did not dare to go out." β
Lou Ming'an secretly sent someone to search for him, and the matter had already been tried in Dali Temple, and the emperor knew that it was not false.
Therefore, the emperor easily believed Lou Que's words, and sighed again: "Although I knew that Ming An's qi was narrow, I never expected him to be so vicious. The grievances you have suffered in the past six months, I didn't know until now! β
"Not worth mentioning." Lou Que said lightly.
The emperor couldn't help but laugh again: "You still refuse to say a nice word!" β
Lou Que's expression remained unchanged, and he said solemnly as if he was reading: "It's all because of the blessing of my father and the emperor, that my sons and daughters can get away with it." β
The emperor couldn't help but laugh: "Good words come out of your mouth, why are they so sarcastic?" Forget it, you better stop talking like that! β
"Son-in-law, thank your father for your tolerance!" Lou Que bowed again.
The emperor got up and walked over and took his hand: "Since you entered the department, I have been thinking every day about how to restore your identity in order to be justified, and how to settle you so that the world can be convinced...... If it weren't for Ming'an making trouble with those moths, I really don't know how long I would hesitate! β
Lou Que helped the emperor out and walked to the porch, smiling: "Father doesn't hesitate now?" β
The emperor snorted coldly: "What's the use of hesitating? What should come will always come, I hesitate any longer, and when you are killed by some unknown person, do you want me to posthumously crown a dead man as the prince? β
"Everything is in the father's thoughts." Lou Que said lightly.
"Yes," the emperor sighed as he leaned on the railing, "and after a few decrees, the court and the people are almost going to fry." But so what? I believe you have what it takes to handle it. β
"Isn't it?" Lou Que smiled bitterly, "Father Kai En wants to return my identity, and I want to deal with those troubles myself?" Aren't the favorite sons of fathers all keeping the wind and waves out for their sons? β
The emperor gave him a blank look and snorted coldly: "I can't even deal with this little trouble, how can I be my son!" β
Lou Que was a little dumbfounded.
His father seems to be ...... than before. A lot of scoundrels?
You can't learn from him, right?
It's a bit of a......
At this time, the two ministers finally had the opportunity to interject, and in addition to chanting the saints, they naturally had to make some small suggestions. For example: "Today, the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince recognize each other, this is a great joy, since the monarch and ministers congratulate each other......"
The emperor immediately laughed and said, "Not bad! Three days later, a banquet will be held in the Fu'an Palace, and officials and their families above the third grade can participate. Also, after the prince returns to the sect and performs the canonization ceremony, I will issue an edict to amnesty the world, and you must prepare this specific matter in advance, and there must be no mistakes! β
Prime Minister Ning hurriedly agreed, overjoyed.
The emperor clenched Lou Que's hand again and said with a smile: "How many days has your queen mother been thinking about you, and you can finally enter the palace to see her openly in the future!" Don't you know, when I took the first palace exam, I said that your paper could only barely get into the first grade, and you couldn't get the top prize, and the queen was so angry that she almost lifted my imperial study! I have to tell you that you, the champion, were actually earned by your mother, so that she could give you hairpins with her own hands! β
Lou Que couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say something funny.
It was originally quite taboo to do politics in the harem, but this matter was too special, so Prime Minister Ning and Dali Siqing didn't say anything to disappoint the fun, and laughed a few words with the words "Pity the hearts of parents in the world", and it passed.
The emperor was happy in his heart, clasped Lou Que's hand tightly, and said that he would not let go of anything: "Go, I will personally accompany you to see your mother!" Now that I've settled the matter, let's see what she's going to do with me in the future! She has been crying so much for you in the past two days, let's also give her a great joy and sorrow, and see if she will faint with joy! β
The dignified emperor, under the joy, actually showed a little childish naughtiness.
Lou Que couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so he had to follow with a smile.
The emperor sensed that something was wrong with his mood, and when he was worried about the troubles that might arise next, he advised: "There is no need to worry about this matter. You have a lot of prestige in the DPRK, and there shouldn't be too many people who question it. It doesn't hurt for them to question it, I have left some evidence for today. As for the people, you already have the means to control the wind of rumors, so you don't have to worry. β
"Erchen knows." Lou Que smiled bitterly.
The emperor couldn't help but stop: "You know? I see you're on your mind! For what? Not satisfied with Lou Mengxi's reward? Not satisfied with Lou Ming'an's punishment? Orβresentment that I haven't done my duty in the past twenty years? β
Lou Que hurriedly bowed down and said: "My father planned for the life of his son, and he endured for 20 years, and his son only had gratitude in his heart, and he was not dissatisfied. β
The emperor frowned: "Since there is no dissatisfaction, what are you thinking about?" My brows are about to turn into pimples! β
Lou Que sighed, bowed down and said, "Father, son...... The sons had something on their minds, and they were afraid that the queen mother would worry, so they didn't dare to meet them. β
"What's on your mind?" The Emperor was puzzled.
Lou Que couldn't help but show an anxious look: "Lou Ming'an found the inn where the Zheng family was hiding, and had threatened Erchen with her life before, but Erchen didn't pay attention to it. Can...... Zheng's whereabouts are now unknown, and Erchen really can't rest assured! β
The emperor thought for a moment, and his face sank: "It's just a woman, do you think she is more important than your mother!" β
