Chapter 828: The Night is Shocking

Under the reflection of the rising sun, Xiao Shaozong's delicate face became even paler.

Qi Ning seemed to understand a little, and sighed: "Only when there is a pool of stagnant water can there be no fish, and the bigger the pond, there will always be a few fish in it." ”

"Makes sense, makes sense." Xiao Shaozong nodded slightly: "As long as there are fish, hang the hook down, and you can always catch it." Raising his head slightly, he looked at the blue sky, and was silent for a moment before he said, "How is the court going to send me down?" ”

"Don't worry." Qi Ning said: "The emperor has made a will, although the prince has had it, but the prince is not guilty, and the prince can still live in the palace." ”

"The palace?" Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly: "Since my father is gone, there is no palace, it is just a big mansion......!" Shaking his head: "It's not a house, it can only be said to be a big cage." The emperor cared about the old feelings, and did not issue an order to punish me, which was already benevolent and righteous. ”

Qi Ning said: "Although the prince lives here, since the emperor has a will, then all the future expenses will naturally be provided in time." ”

Xiao Shaozong thought for a moment before saying, "You thank the emperor on my behalf." After a pause, he said, "Jinyihou, there is something I want to trouble you." ”

"Son, please speak."

"Since the emperor has a will, he doesn't want me to die now, I naturally have to obey the emperor's order, if the emperor wants to take my life one day, I can obey my life at any time." Xiao Shaozong said: "But I don't know how long my body can last, there is a doctor in the house who dispenses medicine for me every day on weekdays, if it is convenient, can I keep him?" ”

Qi Ning said: "Doctor? ”

"Not a big deal." Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly: "I can't protect myself, and now I haven't thought about protecting others, even if I have the heart, I don't have that ability." That doctor's name is Yuan Moli, and he is the doctor my father found for me a few years ago, and the medicinal materials he prepared can alleviate my pain to some extent, so I have stayed in the mansion. ”

"Yuan Moli?" Qi Ning read it lightly, and knew in his heart that Xiao Shaozong was terminally ill, and there must be a doctor by his side.

"This person's net worth is very innocent." Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: "If Jinyihou is not at ease, you can send someone to investigate his details first." The emperor can exempt me from the death penalty, it is already a long grace, and the palace has its own fate, so it is indeed difficult for a strong man to let Yuan Moli stay, if it is difficult, Jinyihou does not have to care about my words. ”

Qi Ning said: "Since it is related to the body of the prince, I will show the emperor, the emperor has always been very protective of the prince, there should be no problem." ”

"If that's the case, thank you very much." Xiao Shaozong nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is a sentence I shouldn't have asked, but I may not be able to see Jinyi often in the future, so I might as well ask." ”

"Shizi, excuse me!"

Xiao Shaozong stared into Qi Ning's eyes and asked: "The change of the imperial tomb, in the opinion of the marquis, is my father to eradicate the ministers, or is it to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne?" ”

Qi Ning didn't expect Xiao Shaozong to ask so directly, and after hesitating, Xiao Shaozong already smiled and said, "It's really hard to answer." In fact, from the beginning, my father was wrong. Father is the blood of Emperor Taizu, many people say that father should inherit the throne, but no one knows that for so many years, it is this sentence that makes our father and son walk on thin ice, trembling day and night. ”

Qi Ning let out an "oh", Xiao Shaozong's voice was soft, not hurried: "Emperor Taizu died, his father was young, and the only one who could take on the big responsibility was Emperor Taizong." Emperor Taizong was wise and martial, conquered the south and the north, and was invincible, which laid down the world of Great Chu. He smiled indifferently, "It is rumored outside that when Emperor Taizu entrusted Emperor Taizong to Emperor Taizong, Emperor Taizong made an oath to Emperor Taizu that when his father grew up, Emperor Taizong would pass on the throne to his father." He glanced at Qi Ning and asked, "Jinyi Hou should have heard about this, right?" ”

Qi Ning didn't deny it, just nodded slightly.

"In fact, to this day, whether Emperor Taizong really made this oath in front of Emperor Taizu, no one can come up with evidence." Xiao Shaozong sighed: "Later, Emperor Taizong died, and it was the first emperor who succeeded him, so some people thought that Emperor Taizong had broken his promise and did not pass the throne to his father. ”

Qi Ning knew that such things were extremely sensitive, and Xiao Shaozong could say that he could listen, but he couldn't say a word more.

"I even heard rumors that after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, the old marquis of the golden knife even secretly admonished the first emperor, imploring the first emperor to appoint his father as the prince." Xiao Shaozong's expression was calm, and he said eloquently: "Starting from Emperor Taizong, all the way to the first emperor, he has been very kind to his father, and the rewards received by the Huainan Royal Mansion far exceed all the courtiers, even this Huainan Royal Mansion has been expanded several times, and it is magnificent......!" ”

A fresh breeze blows, the surface of the pool is sparkling, and the line in front of the rod is gently swaying in the water.

"No one knows that over the years, my father has been frightened and feared by no one more than anyone else." Xiao Shaozong sighed: "Jin Yihou, if you are your father, can you sleep well?" ”

Qi Ning just listened carefully and did not answer.

"The government and the opposition feel that the father is unwilling, has the intention of plotting to usurp the throne, and has preconceived ideas, so no matter what the father does, it is also wrong." Xiao Shaozong smiled bitterly: "Emperor Taizu and the first emperor are tolerant and benevolent, and they have never embarrassed their father. ”

Qi Ning couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Shaozong held the fishing rod in his hand, and his arm did not waver in the slightest, like a fixed stone carving, which also showed the calmness in his heart.

"In fact, my father knows very well in his heart that as long as he is an idle prince and enjoys the glory and wealth, he should be able to die in peace." Xiao Shaozong said: "He is not unwilling not to inherit the throne, but unwilling to be the lineage of Emperor Taizu, and his words in the court are even unbearable for ordinary courtiers, everyone feels that whatever his father says and does is a malicious intention, and his father cannot bear such grievances...... He sighed lightly: "Actually, it's no wonder that my father, my father has been rich and noble all his life, and he hasn't really suffered much, so he is arrogant, and how can he stand the grievances." ”

Qi Ning put himself in his shoes and felt that what Xiao Shaozong said was not unreasonable.

"Everyone thinks that the change in the imperial tomb is because my father wants to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne." Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly: "But I thought that my father had no intention of usurping the throne, he was just unwilling to let the Sima clan seize power in the court, and he was afraid that the country inherited by Emperor Taizu would change his surname to others, so even if he knew that he was invincible, he had to fight." ”

Although Qi Ning did not agree with what Xiao Shaozong said, he could understand this prince.

Xiao Shaozong and King Huainan are father and son after all, as a son, of course Xiao Shaozong will not speculate about his father from the worst direction, maybe what he said today is not explaining anything to Qi Ning, but just explaining to himself, in order to maintain his father's image in his heart.

"Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing now." Xiao Shaozong said: "My father has been scared for so many years, and now that his soul has returned to Jiuquan, he can really rest in peace, and there is no need to be frightened, and no one will gossip behind his back." I, the prince of Huainan, have already stepped into the coffin with half a foot, maybe I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow, and no one will think that a useless person like me will threaten the ...... of the imperial court! Speaking of this, he coughed violently, Qi Ning immediately stepped forward, patted Xiao Shaozong's back, and said with concern: "Shizi, I'll go and call Yuan Moli immediately!" ”

Xiao Shaozong had already raised his hand to cover his mouth with a handkerchief, and when he coughed, his body kept shaking, looking very weak.

This prince is already short in stature, coupled with the perennial lingering sickbed, his body is indeed very weak, and this cough seems to be able to pass like this at any time.

"Yes..... There is a ......! Xiao Shaozong stopped coughing and wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, Qi Ning could see it clearly beside him, but this cough, the silk handkerchief was already full of blood, not as red as ordinary blood, but a little black.

Qi Ning didn't say much, but said softly: "Take care of the prince, the emperor has a will, no one can embarrass the prince, as long as the prince stays in the palace, no one dares to touch you." He arched his hand, and then turned to leave.

Xiao Shaozong's condition is getting worse and worse, and if you look at it, it is true that he will not die soon.

Back in the front yard, a group of soldiers under Chi Fengdian surrounded the family members of the Huainan Palace, holding spears and knives in their hands, Qi Ning said in a loud voice: "Where is Yuan Moli?" ”

A tall and thin man in his early fifties in the crowd raised his head and said, "Villain Yuan Moli!" ”

"The prince is on the other side of the fish pond, and you go over to serve." Qi Ning put his hands behind his back and ordered: "From today on, you will take care of the prince by your side, if the prince is missing a hair, you are the only one who asks." ”

"Is the prince sick?" Yuan Moli showed a worried look: "Thank you Master Hou, the villain will pass." He got up and hurried away.

Chi Fengdian was a little strange, Qi Ning leaned over to explain, Chi Fengdian said: "When the humble general returns to the palace to restore his life, it is good to show it to the emperor." ”

Qi Ning then walked back, through the main hall, behind is the middle courtyard, Huainan Wangfu is huge, extremely open, just a middle courtyard is also amazingly large, accommodating two or three hundred people is not a problem, at this moment in the middle courtyard set up a few tables, several household officials are registering property, but if a thing is sent, it will be registered.

Dou Kui put his hands on his back, calm and relaxed, at this moment the courtyard has been filled with many boxes, and there are many antique calligraphy and paintings piled on the ground, all of them are jewels and brilliance, Qi Ning has naturally seen a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings in the Jinyi Hou Mansion, but at this time when he saw the scene in front of him, he found that the furnishings of the Jinyi Hou Mansion were really far from the treasures of the Huainan Palace.
