Chapter 363: Trial
The matter of Liang Shangshu being beaten by the court cane, within half a day, spread to everyone.
Concubine Liang, who is quite favored by the eldest prince, is the granddaughter of Liang Shangshu. It is reasonable to be reasonable, the eldest prince should intercede for Liang Shangshu in front of the emperor.
However, the behavior of the eldest prince was unexpected.
The eldest prince not only did not intercede for Liang Shangshu, but also generously scolded Liang Shangshu in front of Emperor Xuanhe: "...... The border war is related to the great Chu society and the national fortune. What else do you say about loyalty and love for the king, at such a time, Liang Shangshu is so admirable! ”
The eldest prince's anger is not all pretended. He really gritted his teeth and hated Liang Shangshu for dragging his hind legs.
Since Emperor Xuanhe returned to Beijing, he has hardly been summoned in private. The treatment that used to accompany the driver is gone. The eldest prince saw that he was on the verge of "falling out of favor", and he was depressed and annoyed, so don't mention it.
Liang Shangshu came again. The eldest prince was so frightened that he vomited blood. Immediately come to meet the saint and scold Liang Shangshu, lest Emperor Xuanhe be angry with him.
Emperor Xuanhe looked at the eldest prince with an unpredictable expression: "Do you really think Liang Shangshu is punishable?" I directly took away his official position and made him sue the old man, what do you think? ”
The eldest prince pondered Emperor Xuanhe's thoughts, and replied: "Father is wise! Erchen thought that Liang Shangshu had committed a great rebellion and should be severely punished! ”
Emperor Xuanhe's gaze fell fixedly on the face of the eldest prince: "The concubine of the Liang Mansion is now your side concubine." I severely punished Liang Shangshu, and it doesn't look good on your face. You really don't mind? ”
"Erchen can't wait to beat him up with a staff in person!" The eldest prince looked indignant: "The father only needs to punish him, and he doesn't need to take care of the face of his son." ”
Emperor Xuanhe didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and motioned for the eldest prince to retreat.
The eldest prince gave up his hand and retired, pondering carefully in his heart, and felt that he reacted quickly and timely today, and broke off the relationship with Liang Shangshu. No matter how angry my father is, he won't implicate himself.
Thinking so, the eldest prince slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Soon, the second prince came to see him again.
The liver was furious, hurting both the body and the spirit, Emperor Xuanhe was obviously quite tired, but the second prince of Xuanhe entered the Baohe Palace.
As expected, the second prince also came for Liang Shangshu.
The second prince was also very dissatisfied with Liang Shangshu's disobedience, and opened his mouth and said: "My father only beat Liang Shangshu with a court cane, which is really cheap for him." ”
Emperor Xuanhe's gaze swirled on the second prince's angry face, and he sighed in disarray: "In your opinion, what should I do with him?" ”
The second prince's eyes flashed with murderous aura: "Kill one and make an example!" These civil servants, what they say about loyalty and patriotism, their hearts are twisted and turned, and they don't know how many calculations they have. I don't know how long it will take to fight this battle at the border gate. Liang Shangshu, as one of the six scholars, didn't think about how to share the worries of his father, so he said these words at this time, which was alarmist and shocking. ”
"This kind of person, it's not a pity to die!"
Emperor Xuanhe never felt that he was violent and murderous, but now looking at the compassionate face of the second prince, his heart suddenly felt a little cold.
A dignified and high-quality member, six books, even if the words are excessive, they can't be killed if they say they are killed. The second prince's natural tone is both ridiculous and terrifying.
What's more, what Liang Shangshu said...... There is some truth to this.
Emperor Xuanhe's anger passed, and he slowly calmed down, and there was already a faint remorse in his heart.
But the reactions of the eldest prince and the second prince were very disappointing.
The eldest prince blindly brushed it off and pretended to be. The second prince is arrogant and superficial, and narrow-minded. No, you have to add a malicious one.
Because, after the second prince scolded Liang Shangshu angrily, he had already earnestly wanted to share his worries for his father. He was responsible for the affairs of the household department, and was responsible for the preparation of the rear baggage and grass and military salaries together with the left attendant of the household department.
Emperor Xuanhe sneered in his heart, but his face was not half revealed: "I have to think about it, you should retreat first!" ”
Emperor Xuanhe did not veto, which was enough for the second prince to be happy.
The second prince hid the joy in his eyes and respectfully withdrew.
……
In the evening, the four princes, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince were summoned to the Baohe Hall together.
The wedding dates of the four princes and the five princes are all scheduled for the coming year, and they are still studying in the study this year. The two came in side by side, and seemed to be quite harmonious. It was the sixth prince, who was slightly two steps behind.
Whether it is active or passive, in short, the isolation of the four princes and the five princes can be seen at a glance.
Emperor Xuanhe swept his eyes and snorted in his heart.
This little six, in order not to hinder the eyes of his brothers, did not hesitate to anger him, the father, and lost his holy family, so he took the initiative to retreat. But the result is not like this? Once there is a seed of jealousy in a person's heart, how can it be easily lifted.
The princes didn't know what their father was thinking on the dragon chair, and after respectfully greeting him, he was unexpectedly asked: "...... Liang Shangshu, what do you think about it? ”
Emperor Xuanhe's expression was faint, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
The fourth prince pondered for a moment, and replied cautiously: "The retainers are young and unfamiliar with the courtiers, so they dare not assert it. ”
It was the decision of his father to fight or kill, and for the sake of safety, it was better for him to show less opinions.
The fifth prince's answer was similar to that of the fourth prince: "My father made a wise decision, and my son was taught today." ”
To say it, it is equivalent to not saying it.
Emperor Xuanhe felt a trace of inexplicable annoyance in his heart, and looked at the six princes again: "Little Liu, what do you think, tell me about it." ”
The sixth prince seemed to hesitate a little, and did not open his mouth immediately. Emperor Xuanhe frowned, and his voice sank a little: "But it's okay to say it, I won't blame you." ”
The sixth prince pursed his lips, and a trace of firmness flashed on his handsome little face: "Father, the son thinks that what Liang Shangshu said is not unreasonable. ”
The four princes and the five princes turned their heads in unison and looked at the six princes.
This little six is dizzy! Dare to intercede for Liang Shangshu! Isn't he afraid of his father's wrath?
Emperor Xuanhe's eyes sank: "Go on!" ”
Since he opened his mouth, the six princes had no intention of retreating: "Right now, there is a war in the border gates, no matter what, we will win this battle first." However, after the fighting subsides, it is true that more should be done to soothe the people and let them recuperate. Even if you want to be conscripted, you must have adult men to conscript, and if you want to fight, you must be able to afford the treasury. ”
"Liang Shangshu is at fault, the mistake is that he shouldn't speak in front of the ministers, which damages his father Emperor Longwei. His father rewarded him with a court staff, which is also deserved. ”
"However, Liang Shangshu's loyalty to Da Chu and his father is beyond doubt."
"The society is stable and reliable, and it relies on soldiers who are not afraid of death. The trivial affairs of the court affairs ultimately depend on the ministers. The sons did not want to see their father, and the emperor lost the heart of the ministers. The son begged his father to reward some medicine to go to the Liang Mansion to comfort Liang Shangshu and soothe the heart of the minister. ”
