Although Wen Zhen is young and promising, Xu Shixu is older and more spicy. Moreover, my father's personal soldiers were all brought out by Xu Shixu in the past, although he has lost power now, and there are also people who are dedicated to fame and fortune, but there is no shortage of loyal and righteous people.

Therefore, when the news of Jinyang reached Chang'an, Xu Shixu had already brought Wen Zhen to me.

The whole Daxing Palace was arranged by Wei Ting and Dou Dan, the white flags were hung high, and Zimin and I wore filial piety clothes and worshiped in front of the father's spirit, and then stood on the steps of the Daxing Palace, watching the officials who stayed in Chang'an come to mourn one after another.

When I fled Chang'an, most of them stayed in Chang'an, except for a few people with whom I had been in close contact.

Although the news of my life has been circulating, it is still untrue for those who have never seen me since. It wasn't until this moment, when Zimin and I stood hand in hand in front of them, that they seemed to finally believe all this.

I realized that I wasn't as alone as I had thought I was.

Wen Zhen was escorted to Daxing Hall by Xu Shixu.

He knelt outside the temple and wept a lot before he was taken aside at my command.

When everything was done, it was already time to hold the lamp, and the ministers left the palace one after another, and Zimin and I turned back to the palace.

Daddy's coffin stopped in the middle of the Daxing Palace, and there was no one around, once again experiencing life and death, and his mood was naturally different from ten years ago.

Zimin was by my side, and when he saw that I stopped walking, he seemed to understand in his heart, so he said softly: "Big brother, you father and son should worship well." ”

I nodded, knelt in front of my father's coffin with Zimin, and said, "Until recently, I always thought that my father treated me the same way as before, but it turned out that I was wrong. It was true that the father-son relationship was deep when I was young, and it was also true that later, my father's high position and power gradually became suspicious of me. ”

Speaking of this, my heart is gloomy, if my father did not become the emperor, there is no later everything, we can still be like that year in the snow, he instructed me in swordsmanship, and tested my skills. I lowered my head and saw the soft sword that my father had given me, so I untied it.

Zi Min heard this and said, "Big brother, you should keep this sword for self-defense." ”

I sighed softly, she was worried that I would be resentful of my father because of what my father had entrusted Mrs. Wan to do, and I would never make a decision to break it down, thinking of this, I sighed again, and said: "Zi Min, I have never forgotten my father's heart for me in the past, although it is no longer what it used to be, but I still regard him as a father in my heart, and there is no resentment at all." As he spoke, he helped Zimin up, "Let's go." ”

Whether it is a life of despair, or wealth and glory, after death, it is only a seven-foot land to sleep.

Outside the Liangyi Palace, there were six guards in two columns, holding spears in front of the door of the temple, seeing me and Zimin coming, they saluted me, I waved my hand, walked into the hall, Xu Shixu was waiting for me in the hall.

When Wen Zhen saw me, he first looked at me carefully for a long time, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is brave, I want to borrow the emperor's edict to take a look." ”

I looked at him coldly, and before I could speak, Xu Shixu said: "General Wen, everyone knows that the emperor values His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is now being recalled to Chang'an by the emperor, what is the intention of self-evident, you are so bold, you dare to commit it!" ”

Wen Zhen sneered, "Oh, is it? Xu Shixu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really lived up to the emperor, why did he make trouble in Hebei? Everyone also knows that the emperor was furious when he heard this, if it weren't for Princess Pingyang and Princess Xiangyang to stop him, now the rebel army has already gone to Hebei, and the emperor summoned His Royal Highness back to Chang'an, but I am afraid that there is another hidden secret. After speaking, he bowed his hand to me and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask the emperor's edict ......."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind the palace, Mrs. Wan didn't know when she came to the Liangyi Hall around the back door, Wen Zhen's words were not finished, Mrs. Wan said: "General Wen, before the emperor died, he ordered Dou Dan to be the commander of the forbidden army, and let Princess Pingyang assist in the affairs of Chang'an, doesn't the general understand the emperor's painstaking efforts?" ”

When Wen Zhen saw Mrs. Wan, he knelt on the ground and said: "Guifei Niangniang, it's not that Weichen doesn't believe it, but the emperor once said to Weichen that if the emperor dies one day, he will have to act in accordance with the edict, so he begged for a look at the edict and asked the concubine Niangniang to forgive her sins." ”

Sanniang helped Mrs. Wan to sit on a couch, and Mrs. Wan said coldly: "If you want to talk about the emperor's edict, General Wen should not ask His Royal Highness for it, when the emperor was dying, he entrusted the edict to me to take care of, and now His Royal Highness heard that the emperor had died, so he rushed back, how could he have seen the edict?" ”

When Wen Zhen heard this, he looked at me hesitantly and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never seen it, why is it authoritarian?" ”

Mrs. Wan said: "General Wen insists on reading it, the edict is here, so it doesn't hurt if you read it." As he spoke, he took out two rolled pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Sanniang.

Sanniang took it, walked in front of Wen Zhen, and handed over the two edicts to Wen Zhen.

I don't know what is written on the two edicts that Mrs. Wan took out at this time, although I know that Mrs. Wan has always acted prudently, and since she has entrusted the world to me, she will definitely protect me, but for some reason I am still a little apprehensive in my heart, so I looked back, and Mrs. Wan only nodded lightly when she saw me like this.

Wen Zhen unfolded the edict and read it carefully, then looked at Mrs. Wan, and after a long time, he said: "The emperor's edict, it turned out to be the ghostwriting of the concubine?" ”

I was shocked, but Mrs. Wan said softly: "General Wen, the emperor's edict is here, I really don't need to talk nonsense, if you really want to talk about it, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu went from Hedong to Jinyang, he was obtained by the Yin father and son, so he died, this is all the fault of His Royal Highness the Prince, I have such hatred with him, if the emperor really has any plans, how can I let him go easily?" ”

This was an understatement, Wen Zhen listened to it, but he was surprised, he thought about it for a long time before he bowed his hand to me: "In that case, Weichen...... Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the court. ”

A stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and I stepped forward to help him up and said, "General Wen, please get up." In Du Kangju back then, General Wen helped him a lot, and General Wen had to work hard in the future. ”

Wen Zhen didn't say anything more after hearing this.

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. On the second day, a courtier invited me to ascend the throne immediately.

However, according to the etiquette, I could not immediately agree to their invitation, because since ancient times, there have always been some high-sounding forms of doing things. For example, when it comes to ascending the throne as the emperor, although everyone, including myself, knows that it must be me, but in order to show modesty, I still have to make a gesture that I dare not accept the order, so that after that, it seems that the supreme position can sit safely.
