There was silence in the cell.

Until the chair was softly pulled by the emperor to the side of the bed, he sat down and looked calm: "It seems that you knew from the beginning what it meant that in front of the general, as long as you put on this mask, there will be no father and son again, only monarchs and ministers." ”

Chu Yurong still remembers the incident a few years ago very clearly, and even remembers the scene of the Iron Mask General's sudden illness.

The camp tent was tense and chaotic, and the big tent of the Chinese army was closed, and there were only three people around the iron-faced general, Wang Xian, and the general's adjutant.

But at that time, it was too sudden and too panicked, and it still failed to prevent the leakage of the news, the atmosphere in the military camp was unstable, and the news was also reported to the palace, Wang Xian said that he couldn't hide it, the deputy general said that he couldn't hide it, and the iron-masked general was already delirious, and when he heard them arguing, he grabbed his hand and kept going, muttering repeatedly, "Don't fall short"

He understood what the general meant, and the general must not fall down at this time, otherwise the ten years of hard work accumulated by the imperial court would be in vain.

What to do?

Then when he heard that the emperor was coming, he knew that this was an opportunity to calm the news completely, so he asked Wang Xian to dye his hair white, put on the old clothes of the iron-masked general, and said to the general: "The general will never leave." Then he took off the mask from the Iron Mask and put it on his own face.

The moment he put on the mask, the Iron Mask General's clenched hand in front of him loosened, his round eyes slowly closed, and an unprecedentedly relaxed smile appeared on his scarred face.

Thinking of that moment at this time, Chu Yurong raised his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made the cell light up a lot in an instant.

"Father, it seems that at that time, it was a helpless move made by the sons and daughters in a very panicked situation." He said, "But in fact, it is not, it can be said that from the beginning of Erchen's follower to the general, he has made a choice, and Erchen also knows what it means to not be a prince and hold military power." ”

Any military general with a heavy army will be trusted and taboo by the emperor.

The Iron Mask General is no exception.

The emperor's son was no exception, especially the youngest son.

When he did this, the emperor's first thought was not to be relieved but to think, would such a prince threaten the crown prince?

Brothers, fathers and sons, trapped in blood and family affection, many things are not good to tear their faces nakedly, but if it is a monarch and a minister, the minister threatens the king, and there is no need to threaten it, as long as the king is suspicious and dissatisfied, he can dispose of this minister, and the minister cannot die if the king wants the minister to die.

So when the emperor entered the camp and saw what had happened, he sat down in front of the corpse of the iron-masked general and asked the first question.

"I'll let you choose." The emperor said, "You have chosen yourself, and you will not regret it in the future." ”

Don't blame me or the future Jun for being ruthless in the future.

Chu Yurong said: "Erchen has never regretted it, Erchen knows what he is doing and what he wants, in the same way, Erchen also knows what he can't do and what he can't want, so now the princes are over, the world is peaceful, the prince is about to stand, and Erchen has also faded away, Erchen has been a general for a long time, I really think that I am really an iron-masked general, but in fact, Erchen has not made any merits, Erchen has been invincible in recent years, it is the iron-masked general's decades of accumulated military exploits, Erchen just stood on his shoulders, and became a giant, It's not that I'm a giant. ”

The Emperor listened to him quietly, his eyes falling on the bean lantern jumping on the side.

"Father, if it is the iron-masked general in front of you and the crown prince, no matter how rude you are, you will not be angry, that is what he deserves, but the sons can't." Chu Yurong said, "When Erchen reprimanded the prince in front of Your Majesty last time, Erchen was shocked by himself, and Erchen really disrespected the prince and his father in his eyes. ”

He is the only one who dares to say this, the emperor looked at the bean lantern and smiled: "You are also honest." ”

Chu Yurong also smiled: "People still have to be honest with themselves, otherwise, they will be blind and can't see the road clearly, and it is because of honesty that Erchen has been marching and fighting for so many years, so that he can not insult the reputation of the general." ”

The Emperor did not speak again, as if to give him enough opportunity to speak.

Chu Yurong continued, his eyes were bright and honest: "So Erchen knows that it is time to end, otherwise his son can't do it, and the minister can't do it, Erchen doesn't want to die yet, he wants to live well and live happily." ”

The emperor looked at him: "Why didn't you say these words before?" Do you think I'm an unreasonable person? ”

Chu Yurong shook his head: "It is precisely because my father is a reasonable person that my son can't bully my father, this matter is the fault of my son, I made my own decision to become an iron-masked general, and it is also my own idea to not be an iron-masked general, my father is helpless and passive from beginning to end, whether it is a minister or a son, Your Majesty should give a good beating, hold it in your heart, Your Majesty is too pitiful." ”

The emperor snorted, stretched out his hand and nodded his head: "Lao Tzu doesn't need you to be pitiful!" ”

The emperor is really angry, and he even said such a folk saying.

Chu Yurong smiled and kowtowed: "Yes, the kid should be beaten." ”

The emperor looked at the young man with white hair and black hair, because he leaned over, his bare back appeared in front of him, and the wounds of the cane were criss-crossed.

"Chu Yurong." The Emperor said, "I remember asking you what you wanted when the matter was over, and you said that you wanted to leave the Imperial City and go to the heavens and the earth to roam freely, so do you still want this?" ”

Chu Yurong thought about it seriously: "Erchen was greedy for fun at that time, thinking that if he had enough of fighting in the military camp, he would go to a farther place to play more interesting things, but now, Erchen feels that it is interesting in his heart, as long as he is interesting in his heart, even if he is in a cell here, he can have fun." ”

The Emperor glanced at the cell, which was clean and clean, and there were rocking chairs on the tea table, but he didn't see anything interesting.

So, he's not going to leave?

"Yes, the son doesn't want to leave, he wants to stay with his father." Chu Yu said.

That's also good, when the son stays with his father, it is a matter of course, the emperor nodded, but what he wants has changed, then give other rewards, he is not a harsh father to his children.

The emperor looked at him condescendingly: "What reward do you want?" ”

Chu Yurong didn't shirk either, and raised his head: "I want my father to forgive and be tolerant of Miss Danzhu." ”

......

......

It was impossible to hear what was being said outside the cell, but when the tables and chairs were pushed in, the noise was heard.

Wang Xian, who had been looking inside, hurriedly beckoned to the eunuch Jinzhong, "The fight has started, the fight has started." ”

Eunuch Jinzhong said helplessly: "Doctor Wang, if you don't run now, when Your Majesty comes out later, you won't be able to run." ”

Wang Xian was about to say something, his ears were pricked up to listen to the inner step, and he immediately turned his head and ran.

Eunuch Jinzhong opened his mouth, angry and funny, hurriedly put his expression down and lowered his head, the emperor walked out of the dark cell, a gust of wind blew in front of him, and the eunuch Jinzhong hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." He persuaded softly, "Don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

The emperor stopped and pointed to the cell behind him with an annoyed expression: "How could this kid - how could I give birth to such a son?" ”

Eunuch Jinzhong said: "The nine sons of the dragon are different, it's not Your Majesty's fault - what happened to the Sixth Highness?" Beat up, no growth at all? ”

The emperor sneered: "Growth? He still has to inch in, and he wants to go east and west with me. ”

Eunuch Jinzhong asked curiously, "What does he want?" "Angry with the emperor like this?

The emperor was so angry that he was nervous and listened, "Father, I want Miss Danzhu." ”

Oh, hey, really, the emperor reached out and pressed his heart, scaring him to death!
