Zhao Ji sat on the imperial chariot and passed through the outer city gate, the inner city gate, and the imperial city gate.

Once again returned to the long-lost Great Song Palace, Zhao Ji's mood also changed a lot, the palace is still the same palace, with red walls and green tiles, and pavilions in the main hall.

But it was Zhao Ji who once again saw the towering Qianxiao Tower in Genyue in the northeast, and was very pleased, and said: "Let's go to Genyue to see, Zhu Mian has no merit in the country, but his merits are all in this Genyue." This person can be used for personal errands, but he cannot be in the court. Now the matter of flowers and stones should be stopped first, so I will send Zhu Mian to an idle yamen first, and then talk about it when I want to use it. ”

Zhao Ji's words were to once again tell Zhao Huan that it was inappropriate to make Zhu Mian the prince.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he replied: "Erchen will send someone to draft an edict to dismiss this Zhu Mian's master." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he looked at Zhao Huan, and then said, "Emperor, things shouldn't be done like this. If the monarch and the minister are righteous, they must also save face for each other. If he uses it again in the future, he will not be embarrassed. Therefore, the matter of dismissal by decree cannot be done except by the truly wicked. Just hint that he took the initiative to resign from the name of Taishi, which is the proper way, and also to save face for Zhu Mian in Tokyo. In the future, no matter what power or position you want to remove, you must consider it this way before you can be safe. ”

Zhao Ji's words are really teaching Zhao Huan the way to be a king. Compared with Zhao Ji who has been the emperor for so many years, he is still a lot more experienced than Zhao Huan.

But when Zhao Huan heard this, he lowered his head and pursed his lips, disapproving, if he didn't wait for Zhao Ji to return to Beijing, where would this Zhu Mian be left with his life. So after listening to Zhao Ji's earnest teaching, Zhao Huan was only anxious in his heart, and said: "Father, my father has just returned to the palace today, do you want to wash up first, and also sweep away the haze in front of your head." In this way, if you go to Genyue again, you will be more refreshed. ”

Zhao Ji didn't care when he heard this, and smiled: "It's okay, let's go wash up first and change the outfit that I have been wearing for a few days." ”

When Zhao Huan heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand again to invite, and said: "Father, the first and former ministers have arranged the soup bath, boiled hot water, prepared spices, and lit incense. The father and the emperor came with his sons. ”

Zhao Ji nodded again and again when he heard this, and smiled at Zhao Huan, feeling that this son was good, and this filial piety was really heartwarming. He followed Zhao Huan straight to the harem.

Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people, and most of the eunuchs and maids who had followed them dispersed after arriving at the harem.

It was Zhao Ji who walked all the way in, and when he saw that he was not going back to his bedroom, but going all the way to a remote place, he asked suspiciously: "Emperor, where is this going?" ”

Zhao Huan was anxious in his heart, squeezed out a smile, and said: "Father, I prepared a warm soup today, and there are a few places to boil water around the stove next to the warm soup, just to let my father take a good bath, so I arranged it in the northwest of the harem, and asked my father to move." Erchen accompanied his father to take a bath today, and talked about the court affairs in the past few months. ”

Zhao Ji's life is really a little less capable of penetrating people's hearts. It was also too easy for Zhao Ji to get the throne, he never thought of competing for the throne when he was young, and he never planned these things.

When he became an adult, he suddenly got the throne passed down by his brother, and he never really worried about it, and he was flattered and served every day. The city government has already been decided, and if you want to distinguish calligraphy and painting, it is an accurate and sophisticated way. But this insight into people's hearts is really too bad.

Hearing Zhao Huan's words, Zhao Ji was very interested, and he also felt that this son was really good, and even felt a little guilty, for so many years, Zhao Ji liked Zhao Kai a lot, and he also had a little less father's attention to his son for the prince Zhao Huan, and at this time, the father and son also had a few words. After thinking about it like this, he motioned to Zhao Huan to lead the way, and Zhao Ji's pace was much brisker.

In a small courtyard in the northwest of the palace, there were really a few eunuchs waiting respectfully outside the courtyard gate.

When he entered the hospital again, there were several eunuchs waiting in the courtyard.

Before walking to the door, Zhao Huan stopped and said, "Father and emperor go first to change clothes, and the son will go and give orders." ”

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Some small things, just call someone to handle them." ”

I heard Zhao Huan speak: "When my father returns to the palace today, his sons must personally handle it before and after, so as to show filial piety." ”

Zhao Ji nodded when he heard this, and entered the room with a smile on his face, and after entering, he saw that the left wing room had really prepared a pool of warm soup.

Zhao Ji took a few steps closer, saw that there were no maids waiting on the left and right, took care of himself and untied his coat, and then opened his mouth and called: "Come here, and come to change clothes." ”

As soon as Zhao Ji's voice fell, there was a heavy sound of closing the door behind him.

The sound was so loud and unexpected that Zhao Ji was scared and looked back. I saw that the main door had been closed, and I could hear the sound of locking outside the door.

Zhao Ji had already sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran a few steps, where could this gate still be opened.

Zhao Ji was shocked in his heart, where he didn't know that something was wrong, and shouted: "Emperor, Emperor... ”

There was no answer outside the door, but there was a loud sound from the left and right, and the sound of tinkling and ding dong could be heard above the window.

Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and pulled the door a few times, but he still couldn't open it, his mouth was even more anxious, and he shouted: "Huan'er, Huan'er... ”

There was still no answer, and something was wrong. Zhao Ji quickly ran to the window on the side, but under the force, the window could not be opened.

"Huan'er, why are you doing this? Why did you lock your father in his room? Zhao Ji shouted.

There was a lot of noise all around the room, so you don't have to guess. Doors and windows are sealed, and even the walls are being reinforced.

Zhao Ji's heart was in turmoil, running around, dragging everywhere, but these houses had become a cage.

"Who's out there? How dare you do that? Don't you want to have a head? Zhao Ji's shouting shook the sky, both frightened and angry.

At this time, I heard an echo outside the door: "Emperor Taishang, the slave can't stand it." ”

The person who spoke, with a sharp tone, was obviously a eunuch who had been in the palace since he was a child. But he has also served by the side of the crown prince Zhao Huan since he was a child.

Zhao Ji heard this response, and scolded angrily: "Dog slave and maid, how can this be reasonable, it is a great rebellion, and teach your whole family to be beheaded." ”

"The Emperor Taishang should stop a little, the slave and maid are also helpless, say a few more words today. I will never speak again. There are thousands of books in the room, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and three meals a day. The Emperor Taishang takes good care of his days and cherishes himself. The eunuch outside the door was obviously also advised, and he couldn't talk to Zhao Ji in the future.

Zhao Ji already understood it thoroughly at this time, and he couldn't stop panicking, and shouted: "What about Huan'er? Where is he, call him over ... ”

It's that Zhao Ji still can't believe it, and he can't believe that he was locked up by this son of filial piety and righteousness.

"Your Majesty has already left, and probably won't come in the future." There was a little helplessness in the eunuch's words, and the matter of the palace was not up to him as a eunuch.

The sound of ding ding dong slowly stopped, but Zhao Ji still shouted and asked someone to find Zhao Huan. Outside the door, there was no more response.

The silence was terrible, so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of the wind could not be heard, as if there was no sound of birds and birds. Even the light inside the house is extremely dim.

At this time, Zhao Ji reacted, and hurriedly went to find a pen, leaned on the lattice of the window, and vigorously poked the brocade cloth covered by the lattice.

Poke open the brocade cloth, a bright light came in, through the bright light, the courtyard outside the house, empty, the courtyard door is also closed. It was Zhao Ji who guessed that there should be someone outside the courtyard gate, and shouted again: "Come on, go and call my son Zhao Huan over." ”

Where is Zhao Huan at this time, Zhao Huan has already left, and he is running away with a nervous mood, and his heart is also beating wildly, with both the joy of success and the guilt of doing something wrong.

But this guilt was only a flash, and more of the joy of sitting firmly on the throne even more instructed the eunuchs around him to invite Li Bangyan, Geng Nanzhong and others to come into the palace to visit.

Li Bangyan was naturally outside the palace gate, circling around his carriage, and did not stop after dozens of turns.

Some people are happy, some people are sad, and some people are still in the dark and still looking forward to the world of great governance.

Zhao Ji shouted, but did not answer. Zhao Ji frantically hit the doors and windows with his hands and feet, and even turned around and lifted the chair to hit the doors and windows, and it was in vain to exhaust his strength.

It was slowly dark, and Zhao Ji was already sitting on the ground, unable to believe what had happened.

Thinking about it, I burst into tears, and when I thought about it, I got up again and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Planter Dao, Planter Dao... ”

"You are a chaotic thief, harboring evil intentions, dog thief 。。。。。"

"The Planter said... You don't have a good death... ”

It was Zhao Ji who suddenly understood that from the moment he saw the Seed Master Dao, it was the Seed Master Dao and Zhao Huan who were cooperating in the act and tricking Zhao Ji into the palace.

The hoarse voice scolded the planter for a long time, and finally stopped. Because my throat was really speechless, it was dry and painful.

At this time, it was dark, and Zhao Ji was lying on the cold ground like this.

There is still a little warm soup pool left in the distance, and under the faint light, there is still a little sparkling feeling. But it's particularly ironic.

Zhao Ji took off his coat when he entered the door, and lay on the cold floor at this time. looked straight at the ceiling, and could see the gods, but the eyes were blank.

The moonlight outside the window was extremely bright, and through the brocade cloth on the window, it entered the room, and in the room, there were books and paintings, pens and ink. Only there is no beating heart.

Suddenly, Zhao Ji seemed to hear something, suddenly came back to his senses, got up from the ground, leaned over the window that had been poked out of more than a dozen holes, and looked out with a longing expression.

Looking forward to the appearance of a figure outside the window, looking forward to the pure and kind Zhao Huan suddenly appearing outside the door, untying the copper lock with his own hands, kneeling on the ground and repenting.

With a few cat meows, Zhao Ji once again collapsed weakly to the ground.

The moonlight is like water, and people's hearts are not ancient.
