In the past few days, Liu Lian has indeed not gone out much, Haijin has been in the past half a year, he understands a lot, and he also feels a little strange about the wind direction of the imperial capital in the past few days, so he closes the door, but he is worried in his heart.

"Alright, concubine, let's rest for a while!"

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Concubine Yun saw Liu Lian, who was a little sad, and then put down the piano in her hand, and walked over with some distress, gently rubbing her head for Liu Lian, and letting him lean on her arms.

"What's the matter, what's upset?"

Liu Lian closed his eyes and was silent, he was waiting, the pattern of the imperial court had changed greatly in three days, at this time, the northwest was in trouble, the brute rode through the edge, and drove straight into the rivers and mountains, and the southwest was even more inextricable.

In the East Palace, the wind is gusting, the original residence of the prince of a country, but now it seems a little desolate, the East Palace Palace people are killed, the expulsion is expelled, the inside is cold, but the outside is even more piercing.

The palace guards guarded tightly around the East Palace, day and night, except for Shao Wuqing, no one was allowed to set foot in half a step.

"Squeak ......"

The cold palace door was opened, Shao Wuqing looked at the dim palace, suddenly felt a little dizzy, shook his head, and then strode in.

The dust in the hall is very thick, and there has been no palace person to clean it for several days, and the huge palace is like only Shao Wuqing alone, and the only sound is his slow and heavy footsteps.

"Don't you want to see me?"

Shao Wuqing stopped, his voice was a little hoarse, he was strong and stubborn in the past, but at this time he looked a little sad, stood up straight, but he looked a little hunchbacked, after all, he was still old.

After the hour of half a pillar of incense, the haggard figure of the prince appeared in Shaowuqing's field of vision, far away from Shaowuqing, but he did not come forward.

The father and son have only been separated for a few days, but their identities are far away. A few days ago, the prince was still the respectful, gentle and elegant prince, but when they met today, it was like peeling off the shell of ten years of painstaking camouflage, looking at each other frankly, heartache, but helpless.

If he had a choice, the emperor would like this drama of father's kindness and filial piety to continue to be performed until the day he closed his eyes with a smile. "The son visits his father." Facing the complicated gazes of the soldiers of the two armies, the prince looked calm and bowed down. Shao Wuqing looked at the expressionless prince kneeling on the ground, and let out a long sigh, his expression became more and more old and desolate.

"What about Si, Prince, why Si!"

Shao Wuqing raised his head, hid his tears in his eyes, and put his choking throat into his throat, but the sadness could really be heard.

"Because Erchen wants to be the emperor." At this time, Shaowu Hengyong no longer has to hide his ambitions, and he goes straight to the road.

"Since you are the prince, the emperor's position will be yours sooner or later, can't you even afford to wait for this little time?" A mocking smile crossed the prince's handsome face.

"Erchen could have waited, Erchen has waited for ten years, why not wait another ten years? If it weren't for his father's insistence on easy storage, no matter how long the ministers were, they would have been able to afford to wait. ”

"That's because you're harboring evil intentions! You secretly hold the murder weapon of the Heavenly Killing Guard, and plot to kill the widow together with Nie, even your younger brother, so much, how can you allow an ambitious person like you to sit in the country? The emperor paused and said angrily.

The mockery on the prince's face deepened: "In this way, this emperor's position is still not mine, why can't I fight?" ”

"You...... You wretched beast, do not repent! ”

Shao Wuqing was extremely angry, pointed at this unfilial son, and began to cough violently.

The prince shook his head, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Father, since I joined the Ministry of Officials, I am preparing for next year's spring planting for the people in Jiangnan, I am distributing long-overdue military salaries to the soldiers at the border gates, and I am raising cotton clothes and stomach rations for the refugees affected by the Yellow River floods...... I have done so much for the court, but I am still treated as an abandoned son by my father, and my father asks himself, is this fair to me? Shaowu Hengan gasped slightly, and excitedly wanted to walk to Shaowuqing's side and shout, but he still didn't come over, from beginning to end, they only saw that they were separated by a mountain. Shao Wuqing was silent, and after not saying a word for a long time, the entire prison fell silent. "So, you want to rebel and want to be the emperor yourself?"

After a long time, Shao Wuqing broke his calm and asked lightly.

The crown prince nodded, and there was no shame on his face: "If I become the emperor, I will work hard, work hard, I will do what the Xia Dynasty couldn't do before, I dare not do, I will do it, I will treat the people better, I will make the army more loyal to me, kill the enemy more heroically, I will make the neighboring countries dare not violate the border for generations, and all nations will come to ......the court."

“…… You're going to make the world a mess! ”

Shao Wuqing shook his head and interrupted him unceremoniously. Shaowu Hengan looked at Shaowu Qing puzzled, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Why?" ”

The emperor sneered: "Do you think that you can become the co-master of the world by relying on the Heavenly Killing Guard in your hands, even if you have something in secret, is it so easy, it's ridiculous!" ”

Shaowu Hengyong gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, Shaowu Qing shook his head, and said a little gently: "Yong'er, you have been familiar with poetry and etiquette since you were a child, but you have never liked these, you are good at military affairs, but you are not good at leading soldiers to fight, why bother wading into this troubled water?" Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of life and death, the reason for survival, must not be overlooked. Remember? Heng Yong'er, this is what I personally taught you when you were a child, and today, I will teach you again. ”

Shaowu Hengyong gritted his teeth stubbornly, and said in a deep voice: "Father, Daxia is sick, this disease can only be cured by me, I am not wrong!" ”

The emperor laughed: "What a selfless rebellion!" Throughout the ages, how many rebellions have been named in the name of justice, which is ridiculous and pitiful! ”

Shaowu Hengyong was silent, Shaowuqing had no words, and after a while, Shaowuqing said: "I have two princes, one is ambitious, secretly has a heart of disobedience, and the other has no ambitions, only knows how to make friends with literati and travel in the mountains and rivers, I am really chilling to them!" ”

After the emperor breathed for a while, he finally eased up, sighed and said: "It has been more than ten years since I ascended the throne, and in the past forty years, the Xia Dynasty has been in constant war, and foreign clans have frequently knocked on the side. There have been endless rebellions and rebellions in various places, and what I have done over the years is to suppress, pacify, and resist...... It seems that I have been doing the same thing all my life, I want to strengthen the army, to create an iron-blooded army that will be feared by the enemy, and I want to change the law and make a set of laws that will benefit the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment...... I still have many ambitions, but unfortunately I have been constrained by these struggles between the court and the central government, so that now, I have reached the age of running out of oil and lamps, and I, the emperor, still have achieved nothing, and what makes me even more sad is that my son still wants to murder me, family affairs and state affairs, I seem to have failed too much, I'm sorry for my ancestors and ancestors......"

Shaowu Hengyong lowered his head, his eyes blank.

Glancing at Shaowu Hengyong, he shook his head again, his face sank, and looked at Shaowu Hengyong: "I am worthy of my heart and the people of Li Min to make any decision, at this time in this East Palace, I don't want to argue with you about the government, you are my eldest son, I promised to spare your life, in the future, you will still be the respect of the king, but you will be imprisoned for a lifetime." ”

The prince smiled miserably, then shook his head, slowly stood up, and said: "Father, the king is defeated, the son is not qualified to say more, from ancient times to the present, history has always been written by the victor, and the actions of the son and the minister will inevitably be infamous in the history books in the future, but at this moment, I am still the prince, I want to maintain the dignity and dignity of the prince of a country, and I can't live in humiliation for a lifetime......"

Shao Wuqing was furious: "Don't you still want to rebel again?" ”

The crown prince smiled sadly, and then slowly drew his sword, "Rebellion, one time is enough, defeat is defeat, but, father, I want to ask, if I really die today, who can inherit the unification in other days!" ”

Shao Wuqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

At this time, the prince knelt on the ground again, and said in a deep voice: "Father, the son has been the prince for ten years, and I don't want to live by relying on people for the rest of my life, father, child, child is not filial......"
