Chapter 167: Weakness of Heart
Several people were overjoyed, and Mrs. He also pretended to be ecstatic, and did not show any flaws. With clues, the ministers rushed to the palace to pay attention to the emperor as soon as possible.
When the emperor saw the evidence, his heart jumped with anger, and in the presence of several old ministers, he could only hold back as much as he could, first sent them away, and then urgently ordered someone to summon the three princes into the palace.
Because of the strict investigation in the past few days, the entire Bac Ninh palace is panicked, and today is the third day, after He Taifu and others hurriedly entered the palace, the emperor immediately summoned the three princes into the palace, so how could he not be nervous and afraid?
He tried his best to pretend to be calm, sent away the eunuch who passed the message, and Song Lang rode into the palace. Along the way, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and sitting in the carriage was like sitting on pins and needles.
"What will I say when I see my father later? Mrs. He, what did they find out? Song Lang pondered all the way, the more afraid he was of that moment, the faster time seemed to pass. The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the palace, and the subordinate opened it and said, "Third prince, please." ”
Song Lang got out of the car, only to feel that his legs and stomach were trembling, he exhaled a few deep breaths, and recited a few words silently in his heart: "They are very hidden, they will be fine, they will be fine......"
After calming down a little, Song Lang walked to the Heart Nourishing Hall to see the emperor. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he saw a sharp look from the emperor, which frightened him, and he hurriedly lowered his head and walked quickly.
The emperor, who was angry, saw the third prince walking in with his head down and cowering, and there was no place to spread the anger in his belly, so he threw over the pile of evidence in his hand that he had looked at several times, and smashed it all on the third prince.
"Look at what you're doing!"
With an angry roar, the third prince couldn't help but scream, and the emperor didn't look at him, and said sharply: "Say, did you do these things!" ”
The third prince looked down at the roster letters, his heart panicked, his lips couldn't stop trembling, the more nervous he was, the more suspicious the emperor was about him, the third prince realized this, clenched his fists and tried his best to restrain the panic in his heart, his standing posture was stiff and obvious, and he said with some difficulty: "What can these mean, my father must not be deceived by those people, the son is innocent, this matter has nothing to do with the son of the son, it is all done by Lao Jiu, please father and emperor Mingjian!" ”
"You don't even see the things on the ground, how do you know what I'm talking about?" The emperor looked at him with a dangerous look in his eyes.
The third prince opened his mouth for a moment, and after a while, he could only reluctantly open his mouth to explain: "When the ministers came, they happened to meet Lord He and their ......."
The emperor sneered: "They told you?" ”
"Father and Emperor misunderstood", Song Lang lowered his head and his voice was a little weak: "It was Erchen himself who guessed it, Lord He, they saw Erchen's eyes were very strange......"
The emperor didn't believe his words, and when he saw where he was standing with his shoulders crossed, his head bowed and cowering, his eyes were very evasive, and his suspicion of him deepened in his heart, and he immediately reprimanded with a straight face: "Open your eyes and take a good look at what is written on it!" ”
No matter how reluctant the third prince was, he had to bend down honestly to pick up those 'evidence', but after reading it, his face calmed down, and he straightened up and pretended to be full of confidence: "Father, these things don't explain anything, the son is wronged!" ”
"Of course I know that these things alone can't cure your sins, and I still have one thing here, I don't know what explanation you will have after reading it!"
Song Lang was stunned for a while, speechless for a while, his brain was spinning rapidly, desperately remembering if there was something wrong before, his face became more and more pale, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence: Could it be that the incident was found out?
Shocked and suspicious, he only heard the emperor shout: "You son of a wretch, don't kneel down yet!" ”
The third prince's knees weakened, and he knelt down with a plop, and instantly wept, repeating a sentence incoherently: "Father, son, son, son knows wrong!" ”
The emperor looked at him coldly for a long time, and when he heard him say that he knew his mistake, he was even more angry, and immediately called the guards outside to take the third prince down and detain him.
The third prince is useless to even denounce forgiveness at this time, he now wants to find out what the evidence the emperor said, but he doesn't know that the emperor has no key evidence in his hands, everything he said is just to deceive the three princes.
I didn't think that there was really a ghost in his heart, the emperor's face was cloudy, and he stood alone in the heart palace for a long time, and the eunuch came forward and carefully persuaded him a few times, and the emperor went back to rest.
The detention of the three princes in the palace was soon known to Song Zhao, and now the people outside did not know about this matter, thinking that the three princes were just entering the palace as usual, Song Zhao took advantage of the fact that the news was still closed, and ordered his subordinates to go to Zhang's mansion to anonymously pass a letter to inform the other party of the current situation of the three princes.
After Zhang Guifei's father finished carrying the letter, his face changed greatly, and the hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble, and asked the person who came in with the letter with a slightly flustered expression: "Where did this thing come from?!" ”
The subordinate was also confused: "The slave doesn't know, I picked it up at the west wall, and the slave saw that it was written on it and said that Lord Zhang opened it personally, so he rushed to send it to you." ”
Lord Zhang was still a little frightened, his mouth was open and he was stunned for a long time, and his subordinates were a little unclear, so he didn't know what kind of big event could scare his adult into such a look, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "My lord, what did the letter say?" ”
Master Zhang finally came back to his senses, and waved his hand with disgust on his face: "This is something you can inquire about at will, why don't you get out quickly!" ”
"Yes." The subordinate hurriedly retreated, but when he turned to leave, he pouted his lips, his face full of disapproval.
The third prince was detained in the palace for several days, the emperor did not visit him once, and at the same time ordered that no one should approach the three princes, and the workers who had their own three meals a day were handed in from the small window, and the three princes gritted their teeth and endured for a few days, experiencing the double torture of ** and the soul, and the whole person was thin and out of appearance. he
He is unwilling to wait for death in this cold and dark place, has his father forgotten himself? Song Lang looked out through the crack in the door every day, and at first he could take care of his dignity as a prince, but in the back, he wailed and begged for mercy all day long to see the emperor.
The emperor has always refused to see him, it seems that this time he wants to teach him a lesson, and he will not be willing to see him until the time is ripe.
