Chapter 233: Temporary Ending
On the tenth day after Wen Zhiyu returned from Feng'an, he went to court as scheduled, and it was also on this day that Wen Xize changed his previous peace and directly issued the results of the disposal of Feng'an.
Jin Taosong and He Liangxin did a lot of evil in Feng'an, colluded with mountain bandits, and brought disaster to the people.
These are some of the big crimes, and then there are the list of scattered crimes.
After hearing this, the officials present were a little shocked in their hearts. Jin Taosong and He Liangxin are just two officials stationed in Feng'an, and they have done so many crazy things.
But all the officials did not express their position for the time being, because the highlight of today was obviously not Jin Taosong and He Liangxin, and in the end, Wen Xize announced the punishment of Wen Zhiyu.
Although Wen Zhiyu was the prince, he colluded with officials and embezzled people's property, and was later lured by Jin Taosong and He Liangxin to make an irreparable mistake.
"Wen Zhiyu is a prince, but he doesn't want to make progress, forms a party for personal gain, and is even more deceived by villains and does not distinguish between right and wrong. Virtue is lost, and it is not worthy of the position, I am determined to remove him from the royal family, but I think it is a villain and bewitched, so I am confined in the prince's mansion, and I can't get out unless I die! ”
When Wen Xize finished saying this in person, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down, and no one dared to speak.
Wen Zhiyan didn't expect that at this time, Wen Xize still wanted to save Wen Zhiyu's life. But he doesn't pose a threat to himself if he lives, can a prince who has been removed from the list still be considered a prince?
Wen Xize continued to speak: "Concubine Xian's godson is inappropriate, and she should be guilty of the same crime, but I am grateful that she has been with me in the harem for many years, so I demoted her to a permanent presence and moved to Zhengxinzhai." ”
After Wen Xize said these two paragraphs, the whole person seemed to be ten years old.
Li Sheng spoke: "There is a book, but there is no book." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After the civil and military officials said this sentence in unison, they left the Jinluan Hall one after another, and the matter of Feng'an was personally interrogated by Wen Xize, since he gave the result, and this result was acceptable to everyone, naturally no one touched the head again.
"Prince, you can go with me." Wen Xize suddenly shouted to Wen Zhiming, Wen Zhize took the order, followed behind Wen Xize, slowly walked up the high steps, standing on the high platform, Wen Xize overlooked the entire palace, and suddenly spoke: "Prince, can you complain?" ”
Wen Zhiyu asked, "Erchen doesn't understand what his father means. ”
"This time, even if it is to execute Concubine Xian and Wen Zhiyu's mother and son, it is not an exaggeration, but I still let them go."
"Father, the second brother is always your son, no matter whether he is removed from the sect or not, the blood relationship between him and you cannot be broken." Wen Zhiyu paused, "As for Concubine Xian, she has been with you for so many years, and she has no merit and hard work. ”
"Prince, you still know the most." Wen Xize turned around and patted Wen Zhiyu on the shoulder, "If you look down from here, you can see the entire palace." But I have to care not only about what I can see, but also what I can't see. Taking care of the overall situation is what I must do, but this does not mean that I can't have feelings, and I can't be without worries about Wen Zhiyu and Concubine Xian. ”
Wen Zhiyu understood that the reason why Wen Xize said this to him was nothing more than that he was worried that he would be dissatisfied with his execution.
Wen Zhiyu is very sure that if it is himself who has an accident this time, I am afraid that Wen Xize will not hesitate to abandon him. Not to mention the matter of Feng'an, even if it is a matter of exquisite jade, it can make Wen Xize abolish his position as the crown prince.
When he was a child, he lived tremblingly, and he didn't understand why his father was so partial, but as he grew older, he knew some things, so he slowly lost that awe of Wen Xize.
Now, looking at Wen Xize, who was pretending to be a loving father in front of him, Wen Zhiyu even felt a little disgusted: "Father, you naturally have your own considerations for doing things, and your sons won't think much about it." ”
I really didn't think much about it, because every step Wen Xize took was expected by Wen Zhiyu. It is precisely because he has understood Wen Xize's mind that Wen Zhiyu will use Linglong Zhenyu as a start, and only when Wen Xize's interests are threatened will Wen Xize be really angry.
Wen Zhiyu's current ending has already made Wen Zhiyu very satisfied, because he never thought about letting Wen Zhiyu die from the beginning!
"You send Wen Zhiyu back to the house for me, and you will convey my will to him for me." Wen Xize commanded.
Wen Zhiyu nodded: "Erchen understands." ”
"Don't delay the time, before tonight, send him back to the house, and in the future, there will be no second prince!"
"Yes."
Wen Zhiyu took the order to leave, Wen Xize looked at the back of him leaving, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. In the matter of Feng'an, Wen Zhiyu was very low-key, except for telling herself what happened in Feng'an, she did not confide in the outside world.
It stands to reason that he should be very satisfied with Wen Zhiming's temperament, but Wen Xize just feels that something is wrong. Everyone will have gaffes, but Wen Zhiyu can satisfy him in everything, even if he has more prejudice against him, he can't find anything wrong.
He didn't think there was anything before, but now that he looks back, he realizes that Wen Zhiyu is the real perfect person.
Wen Zhiyu sat against the wall, he hadn't been tortured since he was imprisoned, but he looked even more depressed than Jin Taosong, who was about to be beheaded. After all, from a prince to a prisoner, Wen Zhiyu can be regarded as a precedent for Western Chu.
The cell door was opened, and Wen Zhiyu walked in.
Wen Zhiyu half-opened his eyes, saw that it was Wen Zhiyu, and closed his eyes again: "What, come to see this king's joke?" ”
"Jin Taosong and He Liangxin were executed by order of their father." Wen Zhiyu said indifferently, and there was no ridicule of Wen Zhiyu in his tone, just stating a fact.
"Father won't let them go, so it's my turn next, right?" Wen Zhiyu changed his name, and at this moment, he thought that he would not be able to escape death.
"You won't die, my father will remove you from the sect saucer, and you will be imprisoned in the Second Prince's Mansion, and you will not be able to come out unless you die."
Wen Zhiyu opened his eyes: "What did you say?" ”
"You heard it right, my father spared your life." Wen Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, Wen Zhiyu continued, "Although you don't have the identity of the second prince, you still stay in the second prince's mansion, although you are in solitary confinement, but it is better than living on the street." Father has done his best to you. ”
"Where's my father?"
"Father spared your life, but you should know that you have committed such a big crime, will Father still see you?"
Wen Zhiyu understood what Wen Zhiyu meant: "It seems that I will never see my father again in this life." ”
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Send you home, this is also the last time this king will send you this brother as the third brother."
Wen Zhiyu stood up with a smile, with endless loneliness in his laughter: "I hated you the most before, but I didn't expect that the last relative I saw would be you." ”
Wen Zhiyu left the palace in a carriage, Wen Xize stood on the palace wall, watching the carriage slowly drive out of the palace gate, he slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, an inner eunuch who was in charge of sweeping the prison walked behind Wen Xize: "Your Majesty, the slave just listened to something, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything more to His Second Highness." ”
"He's really calm."
"The servant looks, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have no hostility towards His Second Highness."
"You remember, there will be no Second Highness in this palace in the future."
"Yes."
The inner prison left slowly, and Wen Xize didn't stay long, turning around and leaving.
In the carriage, Wen Zhiyu and Wen Zhiyu sat face to face, Wen Zhiyu still gave Wen Zhiyu dignity in the end, asked him to refresh, and changed into cloth clothes. Although he is no longer rich, he can also come out to meet people in a dignified manner.
"Why do you want to help me like this?" Wen Zhiyu asked.
"Because this king knows about it, and it's not all your fault." Wen Zhiyu spoke.
Wen Zhiyu was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Wen Zhiyu asked rhetorically: "Don't you doubt that if what Jin Taosong did at the beginning was instructed by you, then when did he start to change?" ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Wen Zhiyu understood the turning point of the matter: "Since I sent He Liangxin to Feng'an, Jin Taosong has disobeyed the king's orders many times. This time I went to Feng'an, Jin Taosong seemed to listen to He Liangxin's words more than listening to me. ”
"Now my mind is finally clear."
"But why did He Liangxin hurt me, if I hadn't appreciated him back then, he would have been just a nameless soldier now." Wen Zhiyu is not a fool, and now thinking back to what He Liangxin said, it is very wrong.
