In the Zichen Palace, the palace lamps are soft and sandalwood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is rumored that Emperor Zhaowu, who has been brutally poisoned, wears a loose pale yellow robe, sits on the warm kang, and looks at the two sons below. On the left, a bright yellow prince in costume, slightly bent over, trembling with his hands and feet, his head the size of a pig's head, and blue and purple, his eyes were also narrowed into a line, and he couldn't open them. And -- he doesn't have eyebrows yet......

Resisting the urge to let him die as far as he wanted, Emperor Zhaowu turned his gaze to the fifth son on the right who was dressed in a guard's uniform, this kid had stopped crying, and sat there with his waist straight, his face was full of sincerity, how to see how he liked it.

After taking care of his thoughts, Emperor Zhaowu said to the crown prince warmly: "Yuting, this matter is a pure misunderstanding, you have been wronged. ”

The prince's lips moved slightly, and before the words could be spoken, tears fluttered down first, and he bowed his head and sobbed: "Erchen...... Erchen ...... Woo woo...... "I want to say a few words such as 'the retainers are willing, hard-working' and other scenes according to the convention, but I really can't say it."

Emperor Zhaowu sighed lightly and said in his heart: "This kid is not easy. With a wave of his hand, let Qin Lei withdraw first.

When Eunuch Zhuo closed the door, Emperor Zhaowu said softly: "Get up." ”

The prince fell to the ground and sobbed, but his shoulders shook vigorously, and he looked as if he was snickering.

Emperor Zhaowu's brows furrowed slightly, as an old guy with a sense of conspiracy, he naturally understood that the prince wanted him to punish Qin Lei, or get enough compensation.

Emperor Zhaowu was a little unhappy in his heart, just like he said to Qin Lei in the past, 'What I gave you, no one can take it away; What is not given to you, you should not be delusional. Although he can't exert his authority in the world, he still has to resolutely defend his power to 'kill and seize' for his son.

Picking up a blank piece of paper from the table, Emperor Zhaowu read softly: "Jun's grace flows eastward like water, and he is favored and worried. Mo Xiangzun's prelude fell, and the cool breeze was only at the west end of the hall. When the prince heard this, his body froze suddenly, and he couldn't help but raise his head, looking at Emperor Zhaowu in surprise.

I saw that Emperor Zhaowu was still lowering his eyelids, and his voice was not salty or light: "Good poems and good words, but there is a resentment in it, and the pattern is not enough......" He raised his head slightly, looked at the prince with narrow eyes, and said softly: "You are the prince, what else is there to complain about?" ”

The prince suddenly felt infinitely aggrieved, pointed to his swollen face, and said in a loud voice: "Is there a prince in the world who is so miserable as a child?" ”

Emperor Zhaowu put down the rice paper and said coldly: "Aren't you a prophet?" Did you anticipate that you would end up in such a field when you were writing? ”

Listening to Emperor Zhaowu's questioning, the crown prince, who was very eager to be comforted, couldn't help but pull out the cold in his heart, his hands were clenched tightly, and he didn't even know that his nails were sinking into his flesh. After a moment of silence, the prince said astringently: "Today, after this great humiliation, what face does the son still have to stand above the court?" It's better to resign from the position of the East Palace, and from now on take refuge in the mountains and forests, and live the rest of your life......"

With a 'bang', Emperor Zhaowu slammed the table, shaking the teacup, and the hot tea splashed on his hand, making him tremble in pain, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You are ridiculous!" I'll leave the defense of Kyoto to you! The thousands of guards in the palace also let you command! And what about the old five? Just three people! ”

glanced at the prince contemptuously, and shouted in a deep voice: "What is the result? You let Lao Wu go through the forbidden palace, touched under your nose, was choked by someone's neck, and fanned into a sauce jar. What else would you do but cry like a? I'm ashamed of you! I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in, and I don't have to see anyone again! ”

Listening to Emperor Zhaowu's angry reprimand, the prince's heart sank to the bottom, he just thought about how much he was wronged, but he didn't realize that his poor performance in the whole process was too far behind in the sky and on earth compared to Qin Lei.

Seeing him trembling, Emperor Zhaowu finally couldn't bear to reprimand him anymore, after all, the prince was obedient and did not make a big mistake. Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Emperor Zhaowu said softly: "Okay, merit is merit and demerit, you did a good job this time, and you almost made the Wen family ......."

"But it was still disturbed by Qin Lei...... the prince sobbed.

Emperor Zhaowu rubbed the jade ruyi on the table, and said with a wry smile: "The saint has a hundred thousand years and plays the ninety-nine avenue, but there are still variables, not to mention that I am not a saint." Glancing out the window, he said softly: "Yutian didn't do anything wrong, it's just that the Wen family's anger is not exhausted." ”

The prince couldn't think of how to frame Qin Lei for a while, so he could only lean over and respond.

Emperor Zhaowu wisped his long beard under his chin and said softly: "Let Yutian make such a fuss, the news can't be covered, and Wen Yanbo will definitely not come out, but he has to try to keep an inch of the future." ”

The prince's heart sank, and he kowtowed: "Father...... Just command. ”

Looking at the prince kneeling on the ground, Emperor Zhaowu actually smiled and said softly: "It's cold in winter, you read at home for a while, wait for it to be warmer and then come out to do things." ”

The crown prince trembled and said in disbelief: "Is the son going to be grounded?" ”

Emperor Zhaowu smiled and said: "This is called recuperation, how can it be grounded?" It's just to convince the Li family that you are still with them and stabilize them. ”

The prince's heart was filled with humiliation, and he bowed his head unconsciously, and then left the inner sanctum like a walking corpse, pushed aside to the left and right, and staggered to the courtyard.

With no direction and no right path, the prince walked in the knee-high snow, one foot deep and one shallow, and the cold and piercing sensation spread from his feet to his legs, and from his legs to his whole body, making him almost unconscious. But no matter how cold his body was, it couldn't withstand the coldness in his heart, and Qin Ting felt the coldness emanating from the bottom of his heart, making the world in front of him unprecedentedly gray.

He couldn't understand why the eldest and fifth and even the third and fourth were more shameless and lawless than the other, but the old man cared for them and protected them in every way. And he is honest and obedient, not humming or haha, but like a stepmother, he was used as a night pot by Emperor Zhaowu, and he took it out when he used it, and threw it away as far as he could when he didn't use it, lest he be stinky.

'I'm the Prince!' O prince under one man and above ten thousand! Why is this so? Qin Ting shouted in infinite anguish in his heart.

After walking for an unknown distance, and finally his feet were completely paralyzed and did not obey the call, Qin Ting looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and in that desolate and muffled laughter, he suddenly fell on his back on the snow. Zhong Likan and the others, who were attached to the back, hurriedly stepped forward to help the prince up and carried him to the warm sedan chair......

In the Zichen Palace, Qin Lei honestly knelt in front of Emperor Zhaowu, and said with shame on his face: "The child has hindered his father's plan, please punish his father!" ”

Emperor Zhaowu snorted coldly, knocked lightly on the table, and said: "You are indeed not lightly responsible, if I hadn't said that I would no longer blame you, I would have to beat you for eighty boards to dissipate my anger." ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Thank you for your father's grace." As he spoke, he was about to get up. How do you know that Emperor Zhaowu is not salty and said lightly: "Who told you to get up?" Qin Lei had no choice but to kneel down again and look at Emperor Zhaowu aggrievedly.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at his handsome and tough son, and sighed softly, "Do you know how much loss you have caused me? Qin Lei shook his head innocently, his eyes were as clear as a stream in the mountains.

Emperor Zhaowu snorted lightly and said in a deep voice: "Since you and Qin Lin clashed with the Wen family in the main hall, I expected that things would not be good, so I wanted to design to get rid of the Wen family's cancer. ”

Qin Lei said in his heart: "That's true. He said softly: "The child is foolish and cannot understand the foresight of his father. ”

Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand and said slightly depressed: "I don't want to hide it from you, I just thought that you were in the Jingshan camp, and if you came back after getting the news, the matter should be over." I'm afraid that you will come back early, and I will let the prince think of blocking it. Said a little helplessly: "I didn't expect Zhao Chengsi to lock the four doors tightly, but he still didn't stop you from being a ground mouse." ”

Qin Lei scratched his head and said: "The news of His Majesty's distress has spread all over the central capital, and the people in the city were panicked at that time, and the city defense was not as strict as before, so the sons had a chance to get in." ”

Emperor Zhaowu sneered: "This is not surprising, some people are looking forward to the collapse all day long, naturally afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”

Qin Lei exclaimed: "Father Emperor Ming Jian is thousands of miles, and the cave candle is shining high, those ghosts and ghosts naturally can't escape your dragon's eye." ”

The horse's fart was loud, but Emperor Zhaowu ate this set, and said with a smile: "What dragon's eye?" Could it be that I have a pair of lychees on my face? Having said that, there is no hint of reproach.

Qin Lei smiled and said: "The child is so level, he must read more books in the future." ”

Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand, asked him to get up, sat down on the edge of the kang, and then said softly: "I originally planned to make a strong move first, sell a flaw to Wen Yanbo, and let this panicked old boy stick his head out of the turtle shell," he said and stretched out his hand into a knife and waved it down, and said fiercely: "Cut off this old boy's black **!" ”

Qin Lei calculated in his heart: "If there is no Lao Tzu, the prince will definitely announce the imprisonment of the country tomorrow morning, as long as Wen Yanbo's old fox jumps out and waives the flag and shouts, the charge of rebellion will not be washed away." When the time comes, the prince will clear it up again, and as soon as he takes out the evidence of collusion with the Wen family, the Wen family will look in the mirror, and there will be a big nose inside and out. ’

Glancing at the old man who had lost weight, Qin Lei couldn't help but shudder, and said in his heart: "If Lao Tzu is the actor who survives the card, the old man is Hitchcock." According to this arrangement, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's horizontal insertion, even if the old fox was like a ghost, he would have to drink the old man's footwashing water. I can't help but secretly admire the old man's conspiracy, which is simply outrageous - it is indeed a chessboard that uses heaven and earth and all living beings as chess pieces...... Old madman.

After thinking about it, I listened to Emperor Zhaowu and said with resentment: "The painstaking arrangement and all kinds of forbearance were stirred up by you just a moment before the net was closed, and it was almost ...... Angry! ”

Qin Lei hurriedly smiled with him, but he heard Emperor Zhaowu smile and said, "As long as you have time, you can always wait for the next opportunity." Even if I can't wait, I can create it. But right now, in order to create the illusion of being addicted to Dan Dao, I have not been in charge of politics for a month, and I planned to take advantage of Wen Yanbo's downfall, quickly cut through the mess, and clean up this mess together. I didn't expect him to escape this catastrophe......" said and squinted at Qin Lei, chuckling: "But you can only ask for more blessings for yourself." ”

Qin Lei knew that what Emperor Zhaowu was talking about was that Yushitai participated in his own murder, and Dali Temple investigated Qin Lin's corruption and perversion of the law. Because of Emperor Zhaowu's indulgence, the two cases are about to be completed, but it is not so easy to overturn the case.

'If you want to have less trouble, attitude is the key', thinking of this, Qin Lei smiled honestly and said: "As long as my father is safe and sound, nothing else is a problem." ”

The corners of Emperor Zhaowu's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and he pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "If you smear honey on your mouth, you can turn into this nine-fold forbidden palace, and you can't put that little thing in your eyes." As he spoke, he handed Qin Lei a holy decree written on the table, and said in a deep voice: "You go and pass the decree to Shen Wei, add him a first-class title, and order him to take charge of the ironclad army again." When he sees that it is you who has sent the decree, he will surely understand what happened, and some resentment towards me will disappear. Qin Lei respectfully took it and held it in his hand.

Emperor Zhaowu handed the second holy decree to Qin Lei, and sighed: "Go to Princess Heyang's mansion and tell your sister that I have prepared a house for her in the eastern capital, and let her hand over the things in her hands...... Let's get started. Qin Lei took this holy decree and held it in his hand as well.

Emperor Zhaowu was a little tired and said, "You can keep that thing." Qin Lei didn't know what it was, so he had to respond first.

"Rest next door for a while, and we'll be with me later." After all, it was more than fifty people, and Emperor Zhaowu had no energy to stay on board all night.

Qin Lei bowed down and retreated, and went to the side room to rest without mentioning it.

After he left, the old eunuch Zhuo came over and served Emperor Zhaowu to lie down, and Emperor Zhaowu suddenly said, "Do you say that I have gained more or lost more this time?" ”

Old Eunuch Zhuo covered Emperor Zhaowu with a quilt and chuckled: "You lost a chance to take down the enemy, but you tried the minds of the people around you, as for which one is more?" Of course, Jane is in the heart of the emperor. ”

Emperor Zhaowu closed his eyes and muttered, "There will be a chance to ...... next time" After speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.

The old eunuch Zhuo blew out the palace lamp, retreated quietly, and covered the door lightly, then shook his head and whispered: "When the fake is true, the truth is also false." "Turn around and disappear into the darkness.

"The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the government and the field are full. Pingdan, Yinshi. "The eunuchs are really dedicated.

Qin Lei felt that he had just fallen asleep, and he had just pressed the old man to the ground in his dream, and he had not yet picked up a fist the size of a vinegar bowl and beat him hard. There were eunuchs and palace maids who rushed in, but they did not go their own way as usual.

Instead, they were lined up in two rows according to their heights, and they all knelt down with a hula, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted in a low voice: "Your Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose......"

Qin Lei was a little dumbfounded, rubbed his eyes and said, "What kind of nerves?" "This kind of worship is only used on formal occasions such as court sacrifices. But there is no reason to call Chitose in the bedroom.

The leading eunuch smiled softly: "The infinite power of the prince knows no time and occasion, and the slaves and maids are in awe of the prince from the bottom of their hearts, so naturally they should not distinguish between time and occasion." With a wave of his hand, four young palace maids stepped forward to dress and wash His Royal Highness the fierce King of Longwei County.

"Why did you get there so soon?" Qin Lei asked again and again. The leading eunuch smiled lightly: "Oh, my good master, all the ministers can wait outside the Chengtian Gate." Although they should wait for you to be old, it is better to give them a face. ”

Qin Lei was amused and laughed: "Yes, yes, give them face." Then he got up and strode out.

"Lord Wang, you haven't brought your crown to the sky yet......"

The pot has already been boiled outside the Chengtian Gate, and the ministers are talking about each other, and the topic is the matter of today's prince's imprisonment, and it seems that Emperor Zhaowu's illness has become a well-known secret. Some of your ministers are apprehensive, some are gloating, and some are indifferent.

Who to watch? Of course, to watch the faces of the two big shots. I saw that Taiwei Li's old face was long, and he looked like he had been deceived by someone who had been cheated of five hundred taels of silver. Look at Prime Minister Wen again, his handsome face is black and scary, and he looks like he was deceived by someone who was cheated of 50,000 taels of silver.

Seeing that the two giants were in mourning, those who were smart had already guessed that Bacheng did not take advantage of the two of them this time, and they also caused a commotion.

So who took advantage? The answer is self-explanatory. Holding back the shock in their hearts, the ministers honestly shrank their heads and stood up. As for how to stand in line in the future, I can't help but think more about it: Do you want to go to the dark on one road?

As soon as the hour came, the Chengtian Gate was opened, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up left and right, and Yuguan entered the Forbidden City, preparing to participate in the court meeting on the 21st day of the 17th year of Zhaowu.
