Su Yan revered the tolerance and benevolence of the emperor, but also because of his wisdom and shocked, the last two years of the emperor's life, there were Xiqiong and other tribes eyeing each other, the hearts of the people in the court floated, the clans had their own thoughts, the slightest carelessness, it would lead to huge turmoil and disaster, so when he was dying, he wanted to pave the way for his children and grandchildren, and Sikong Shaoyang, who was upright and outstanding in martial arts and had no background, was the best candidate, so the emperor exchanged his life for Sikong Shaoyang's allegiance to the future emperor, which was the heart of a father, It is the heart of the emperor!

"Ayan, about Shaoyang, I only tell you alone, because Shaoyang is the common brother of you and me, about his past, I don't want to hide it from you, but you must also understand that this is my Tanglin royal family secret after all." The prince looked at Su Yan with a rare seriousness in his eyes.

Su Yan understood, got up in front of the prince, and half-knelt and said, "The minister will never leak out a word." ”

The prince got up and gave him a hand, "Get up quickly, I will tell you if I believe in you." ”

"Then you and Your Majesty already know about the Emperor and Shaoyang, does Shaoyang himself know?"

The crown prince shook his head: "Since it is the will of the emperor's grandfather, Shaoyang's origin and his drugging of the emperor's grandfather, after the emperor's grandfather returned to heaven, my father and I never mentioned it again, nor did we tell Shaoyang." When I first learned that he had drugged the imperial grandfather, I was very entangled and resentful, even though I was in love with him, but the other was my most respected imperial grandfather, and when facing Shaoyang, it was impossible to say that I did not have a little hatred in my heart. But Shaoyang's personality, ability and his loyalty to Dongzhao have been seen by my father and I all these years, so I have slowly let go of my grudges over the years, and my father has relied on him very much. ”

"So what does this past have to do with Shaoyang being framed and imprisoned? What's going on with the Tao family? Su Yan asked puzzled.

Knowing that the framing letter may be related to Tao Zhongyu, Qiu Jingxuan started from the Tao family, and did not want to find out by accident that Tao Zhongyu's attendants had entered and exited a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city two or three times.

At the same time, the father also received news that the Tao family seemed to have colluded with the Qianglan State to smuggle and sell troops and forbidden goods, including poisons extracted from Mulberry, etc., and then resell them to individuals and influential organizations in need from other channels to obtain huge profits.

There is also the food and salary of the troops provided by their Tao family, and there are actually cutting corners and shoddy things, which is a loss that there is no war now, if there is a war, wouldn't my Dongzhao army have been killed by their own people before they go to war?

My father was furious when he learned about this, and originally appointed the Tao family as the emperor's businessmen in the hope that they would use the convenience of the official channels to do more beneficial things for Dongzhao, but he didn't expect them to ignore the emperor's grace in vain, collude with foreigners, and do great rebellious things. ”

"The Tao family father and son are so bold!"

"The night before Su's wedding, the inner eunuch came to the palace to ask to see his father, saying that he had something important to report. As a result, the father-in-law actually revealed to his father that Shao Yang had poisoned the emperor's grandfather's tea. Only then did his father understand that Tao Zhongyu contacted the emperor's grandfather's personal eunuch in order to lead him into the palace to expose Sikong Shaoyang, so as to get rid of Sikong Shaoyang.

Although his father didn't know what Tao Zhongyu and Shaoyang had at the time, this person chose to enter the palace at this time to expose it, and Tao Zhongyu must have a plan. So the father and the emperor did what he planned, and he was furious in front of the palace servants, and ordered to give Xin a glass of poisoned wine. ”

Su Yan was shocked, it turned out that so many things had happened in just two days.

"Tao Zhongyu grasped all the timing so accurately, it was difficult to keep it secret that he would not be placed eyeliner in the prison, and he did a full set of acts, so Gonggong Kang, who was next to his father, really went to the prison to give wine."

"Did he really drink that Shaoyang? The wine ...... "When he saw Sikong Shaoyang, he was clearly unscathed.

"You don't know Shaoyang's temperament? The father gave wine, even if he smelled it as poisonous wine, he would not disobey, so he naturally took the wine and drank it, but it was ...... What was in the wine was not a deadly poison, it was just a kind of drug, and if you drank it, you would only faint for a while, but the taste was extremely similar to the deadly poison, so everyone, including Shaoyang, thought it was a fake poisoned wine. As he spoke, the prince recalled what had happened that night......

When Sikong Shaoyang fainted to the ground, everyone thought he was dead, and the emperor ordered someone to carry Sikong Shaoyang back to the palace after an hour, in order to make Tao Zhongyu's eyeliner convinced that Sikong Shaoyang was dead, and go back to report to him.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Sikong Shaoyang woke up and found that he was not dead, and he was no longer in the prison, and turned his head to find that the emperor and the prince were next to him at the moment, he wanted to get up and salute but was weak, the prince saw this, stepped forward and helped him up.

I saw him getting out of bed, kneeling on the ground with a "bang", "The crime deserves death." Then he bowed deeply to the emperor.

"Sikong Shaoyang, you really deserve death, you dare to poison the tea and murder the emperor!" The emperor scolded sharply.

"The sinner is willing to die."

"If my father wants to kill you, we can execute you when my grandfather dies. Shaoyang, in fact, the matter of your poisoning, including your origin, was told to me and my father before the death of the emperor's grandfather. The prince patted Shao Yang on the shoulder.

"What?" Hearing this, Sikong Shaoyang raised his head in astonishment to look at the prince who was speaking, and then turned his head to look at the emperor.

The emperor's eyes were solemn, but he nodded with his son's words, "Originally, cutting you with a thousand knives was not enough to make up for the heinous capital crime you committed, but the emperor left a will before his death, not to blame you, how can I disobey?" And over the years, your loyalty to Dongzhao and the royal family has been seen in my eyes, so don't mention the past again, you just need to remember that you are a citizen of Dongzhao, and it is enough for you to be loyal to Dongzhao. After that, the emperor personally stepped forward to help Sikong Shaoyang.

Sikong Shaoyang suppressed the shock in his heart, and was shocked by the tolerance and kindness of the three generations of the Dongzhao royal family to him, "The minister must swear allegiance to the emperor and Dongzhao with this fate!" ”

At this time, the prince pulled Sikong Shaoyang, "Now there is a more important matter, follow me!" ”

Sikong Shaoyang was surprised for a while, and looked back at the emperor, who nodded at him, so Sikong Shaoyang followed the prince out of the palace.

The two rode to Tao's mansion on horseback, and along the way, the prince informed Sikong Shaoyang of Tao Zhongyu's schemes, including killing Hanyan and blaming Sikong Shaoyang, and letting the emperor's personal supervisor expose Sikong Shaoyang and smuggling contraband.
