Outside the trap

Sister Wei was so frightened by her crazy mother-in-law that she cried loudly.

The five princes' side concubines hugged their daughters tightly, quickly turned around, bowed their backs, and let the five princesses beat and scold.

Zheng Qinghan fell heavily in the cell that day, and a scar fell on his head. Since then, my mind has been sometimes clear, sometimes confused. However, no matter whether he is confused or sober, he has not had a good face for Sister Wei's mother and daughter.

Zheng Qinghan only hit twice, and was stopped by Zhu Qijue, who looked unhappy.

Zhu Qijue endured his anger and pulled Zheng Qinghan, who was shouting wildly, away. Zheng Qinghan stretched out his hand and scratched Zhu Qijue's handsome face in the struggle, leaving three blood marks.

This made Zhu Qijue angry.

The daughter-in-law likes his handsome face the most. Zheng Qinghan left a bloody stain when he scratched it, if Princess Kangning saw it, I don't know what kind of heartache and anger would become!

Moreover, with the woman's finger marks on his face, how could he still walk around the palace on an errand? Isn't it meant to make people laugh out of their big teeth?

"Come on, Zheng is delirious, tie her up, don't let her hurt anyone." Zhu Qijue gritted his teeth and ordered.

Soon, two guards stepped forward and unceremoniously tied Zheng Qinghan's hands and feet with ropes.

Zhu Qijue was not happy in his heart, and said with a calm face: "It's not too early, I'll send you to the Zongren Mansion." ”

Now it's not the turn of the eldest prince and the fourth prince to be happy.

Zhu Qijue gave an order, and the guards stepped forward with swords, urging everyone to move forward.

In the cry of the child, the eldest prince and his party staggered out of the prison and went to the Zongren Mansion.

……

The Zongjin Mansion is located not far from the Imperial Palace.

After the original Zongren Mansion Zongzheng was seized, Emperor Xuanping selected the young and promising Lijun King from the clan to be Zongzheng. This King of Lijun is also a close branch of the royal family, and he has not yet reached his thirties. It is a generation older than Emperor Xuanping.

King Lijun was able to show his head in the clan county king, all because he was the most respectful to Emperor Xuanping, the Empress Dowager Pei. After becoming Zongzheng, he has always seen the Son of Heaven as a courtier, and never regarded himself as an elder.

Emperor Xuanping was also quite satisfied with King Lijun, and before issuing the holy decree, he summoned King Lijun to meet and told King Lijun of his decision.

King Lijun did not hesitate to accept the order and took on the heavy responsibility of guarding the eldest prince and others: "Please rest assured that the emperor will do his best to live up to the emperor's high expectations." ”

In the past few days, King Lijun deliberately picked three courtyards leaning together in the Zongren Mansion to clean up. Each yard is not large, about five or six rooms.

On weekdays, such a small courtyard is not even looked down upon by the big eunuchs and stewards. However, it is ten times stronger than the heavenly prison in the palace.

Soon, Zhu Qijue led people to the Zongren Mansion.

King Lijun was very polite to Zhu Qijue, and after the two exchanged a few words, Zhu Qijue handed over the eldest prince and his party to King Lijun: "The king of Laoli arranged for them to settle down." I still have to go back to the palace to resume my life, so I will leave first. ”

King Lijun smiled and sent Zhu Qijue out of the Zongren Mansion.

Zhu Qijue said intentionally or unintentionally: "The fifth sister-in-law is not very sober in her mind, and she scolds and hurts people at every turn, but don't let her hurt Sister Wei'er." ”

King Lijun was so perceptive that he immediately responded: "I asked her to arrange a separate place for her, far away from Sister Wei's mother and daughter. ”

Zhu Qijue was very satisfied.

It's not like he's holding a grudge.

The fifth prince has no son, so Sister Wei is such a daughter, and she can't let Zheng Qinghan toss.

After Zhu Qijue left, King Lijun personally opened the courtyard gate and let the eldest prince's family live in the first courtyard. The four princes and their husbands lived in the second courtyard.

The fifth prince's side concubine Wang hugged her daughter Sister Wei tightly, full of confusion and anxiety.

When Zheng Qinghan goes crazy, he will do something to Sister Wei and her. When they were locked up in the prison before, fortunately, Zhu Qijue had a kind heart and separated them in two cells. Only then was the mother and daughter able to catch their breath.

What to do next?

Living together every day, how could Zheng Qinghan let them go?

Zheng Qinghan seemed to have guessed Wang's thoughts, and laughed coldly at the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of ill intentions.

Wait!

She will never let the Wang mother and daughter have a good time.

Unexpectedly, after the third courtyard gate was opened, the king of Lijun ordered the Wang family and Sister Wei to live in, but Zheng Qinghan continued to move forward. The Wang family was overjoyed, thanked the king of Lijun again and again, and soon carried Sister Wei into the courtyard.

Zheng Qinghan was shocked and angry, and there was a hint of fear: "What are you going to do here?" Why are we being separated? The fifth prince is dead, and I have to take care of Sister Wei. I'm not going anywhere! ”

King Lijun, who was gentle and polite in front of Zhu Qijue, turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, and his expression was cold: "When I enter the Zongren Mansion, everything has to listen to me." Where is your turn to point fingers! ”

"Someone, take the Zheng family to the firewood room."

……

At this time, the eldest prince, the fourth prince and others have already left the heavenly prison and gone to the Zongren Mansion!

Emperor Xuanping thought silently in his heart.

He was sick on the bed for more than a year. For hundreds of days and nights, every time I thought of the faces of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, that irrepressible anger and hatred would surge in my heart.

He had never spoken to anyone about his resentment.

It wasn't until today that he ordered the disposal of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and the anger and hatred in his heart slowly subsided.

"Why doesn't the emperor want to see the eldest prince and the fourth prince?" The sound of congratulatory prayer sounded in his ears.

The monarch and the minister are very familiar and close. There are not so many rules in private. He Qi had doubts in his heart, so he opened his mouth to ask.

Emperor Xuanping did not answer and asked: "Back then, He Yuan secretly instructed someone to assassinate you. How do you feel in your heart? ”

The pain of being betrayed by a brother and sister is inhumane.

He Qi's eyes darkened slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "On that day, I wanted to kill him with my own hands." Later, he was blind in one eye, disfigured, and was taken to the border army by his second uncle, where he died nine times for life. He regretted not being at the beginning, and I forgave him for the sake of my second uncle's face. ”

Emperor Xuanping showed a trace of bitterness in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You can forgive He Yuan, but I can't forgive the eldest brother and fourth brother." ”

"Because, I am not only their younger brother, but also the son of Great Chu. They are guilty of heinous felonies. I spared them their deaths, and only let them be imprisoned and die of old age, which is already extremely generous. ”

"I am very kind to them. Brotherhood is also completely cut off from today. ”

"I don't want to see them. For I am afraid that when I see them, I will not be able to control myself, and I will order them to be executed immediately. ”

Emperor Xuanping said and smiled bitterly: "I don't want to become a murderous person like my father. I want to be a wise and benevolent gentleman, so I have to resist the urge to kill. ”

I'm afraid that after I kill my hands and feet, I will become more and more dismissive of human life.

I am afraid that if I lose myself in the imperial power, I will become more and more domineering and ruthless.

So, I left them alive. I also take this opportunity to remind myself and not forget my original intention.
