Song Zhao raised his head and interrupted him: "Uncle Zhao, I want to ask you something. ”

Steward Zhao was stunned for a moment, but seeing that the prince had a serious face, he thought that he had something important to discuss with him, so he hurriedly replied, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

Song Zhao paused, and said after a while: "I went to see Gong Tianyao last night. ”

Steward Zhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, as if he had a thousand words blocked in his mouth and couldn't speak, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Song Zhao rarely showed that kind of contradictory and doubtful look on his face: "I don't know what happened to me now, as soon as I close my eyes, I think of her appearance......"

When he said this, he closed his eyes, with an imperceptible faint smile on his face, and when Steward Zhao saw his appearance, he finally couldn't help laughing: "Lord Wang, the old slave knows what is wrong with you." ”

"Oh?" Song Zhao opened his eyes, his expression was a little dazed, and he waited quietly for Steward Zhao to say the following.

"I don't know what to do, I go deep." The smile on Steward Zhao's face couldn't be hidden, but Song Zhao's expression suddenly became solemn, and the old butler smiled knowingly: "The slave doesn't bother the prince, just wait outside, you just have to tell what you need." ”

He couldn't help but laugh and went out, leaving Song Zhao, who hadn't come back to his senses, alone to ponder what he had just said. For a while, Song Zhao's heart was indescribable, he thought that he had long lost the ability to love someone, from the time when his arrival brought death to his mother, from the time when his nurse was framed and fell into the water because of his timidity, from when he received the harshest white eyes of the people closest to him, he thought that there was no one in this world worthy of his love.

Until, she showed up......

He was a little distracted, and unconsciously reached out to open a luodian box, which only contained the book of Heli, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and his eyes finally stayed on the three words 'Gong Tianyao' at the bottom, and couldn't help but pull out a wry smile.

After a long time, he regained his cold appearance, and quietly put the book back away, only the pursed lips unexpectedly revealed his irritable heart at the moment. I took the book and read it for a long time, but I couldn't read the last word, so I simply threw away the scroll and walked outside to breathe.

Steward Zhao, who had been guarding outside, saw the prince come out and hurriedly greeted him: "Where is the prince going?" After asking, Steward Zhao regretted it a little: Now that there are heavy guards outside the palace, the prince will not take this risk to go out at this time.

Song Zhao said lightly: "I'm just walking around the garden, you go and go about your own business." ”

Steward Zhao sighed hurriedly, although he was still a little uneasy, he still walked away. The prince doesn't like people to follow, let him walk alone, presumably nothing will happen.

At the moment, the Nan'an Palace's Mansion looks calm, but the people outside are busy with this matter, the emperor sent people to guard the Nan'an Palace, and there is no idle there, I don't know how many people are sent out to investigate this matter, but after so many days, I was stunned that no evidence was found.

At the beginning, they were all conclusive, but now they can't even come up with real evidence, the emperor is impatient, and believes that the evidence must have been destroyed by Song Zhao, so he got up to go to the Nan'an Palace, and asked for the truth himself.

was bored, Eunuch Gao came in from outside, lowered his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is waiting outside to see you." ”

The emperor frowned, waved his hand again and again: "No, let her go back!" ”

You don't have to think about it to know that the queen must have come to intercede with Song Zhao, it is really a woman's kindness, treason and collaboration with the enemy is child's play, if Lao Jiu really has different intentions, he will never spare him!

Eunuch Gao was like a mirror in his heart, and turned around and went out to tell the queen that the emperor did not want to see her, and when the queen heard this, her face became more sad, and she could only turn around and leave.

That night, the emperor brought people to the Nan'an Palace, Song Zhao greeted him, the etiquette was good, and he did not slack off at all, after the ceremony, he stood there without humility or arrogance, his back was straight, the emperor squinted at him, and sneered for a while: "Can you confess?" ”

"The son doesn't know what crime he has committed, please explain it to his father."

"You don't know?" The emperor was furious: "Do you want me to tell you what you have done!" ”

"I don't know." Song Zhao was calm and calm as usual: "The sons are willing to relieve their father's worries, I don't know what I did wrong, let my father be so angry, and the sons are willing to be punished." ”

The emperor was furious: "Do you want to be locked up for a few days this time, if I find out some evidence of your treason and collaboration with the enemy, the entire Nan'an palace will be buried with you!" ”

Song Zhao knelt down straight, and his voice was extremely firm: "Erchen has never done it, my father is gullible to believe the rumors of people with hearts, and now he can't even find evidence of Erchen's so-called treason and collaboration with the enemy, so he believes that Erchen has different intentions, how have you ever considered Erchen's feelings?" ”

"Rebel!" The emperor was furious, pointing at his hand and trembling because of anger: "You dare to talk to me, I never believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, don't force me!" ”

"If the father insists on curing the sins of his son, then the minister has nothing to say, but he has not done it or he has not done it, and his son has a clear conscience."

The emperor was so dizzy by his words that he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "You rebel can't stay, wait for me to find out some clues, but anyone who has anything to do with you will die!" ”

Song Zhao was speechless, knelt down deeply, increased his forehead with his hand, and pressed against the cold floor tiles for a long time without moving, the emperor looked at him angrily, flicked his sleeves and angrily led people away.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor announced in front of all the ministers that he would sentence the nine princes to death, and the words did not fall, and the court was already in a mess, the emperor did not expect that it would be such a scene, and he thought that sentencing Song Zhao to death was the general trend, but he didn't expect so many people to stand up and speak for him.

An elderly minister took the lead in standing up and said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this move, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

The emperor was a little displeased, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did Xu Aiqing say this? ”

"The Nine Emperors said to the outside world that they leaked the imperial examination questions, and if they rashly convicted of capital crimes, I am afraid it will not be enough to convince the public."

The emperor sneered: "Leaking exam questions is not a small crime, and it is punished as a crime of fraud, so why not?" ”

General Zhenyuan hurriedly stood up and said: "The Nine Emperors are the main examiners, conscientious, fair and selfless, all of them are dedicated, everyone sees it, some people have long been suspicious of this matter, and ask for a thorough investigation of this case, if it is true that the punishment for the crime of fraud, then the person who gave the bribe is even more guilty, but there is really no such person, if you want to hide from the world, it is really not easy!" ”
