The timing of the election of Emperor Yongchang is very particular, it is said that Empress Xiao got the news that Princess Mansha was enthroned as the emperor and made a crazy night of trouble, even if she had the heart, she was powerless. Therefore, when he and the crown prince arrived at Huajin Palace, the two of them were talking quietly.

Because the sound was too quiet, Emperor Yongchang and the crown prince had to sit against the wall.

Liu Fangchun is worthy of the head of the inner house, and he expected this, and ordered someone to put two soft and thick cushions on the base of the wall before Emperor Yongchang and the crown prince sat down, and it seemed that because of the two cushions, the father and son sat more comfortably.

"Why aren't you making a fuss? Go on, if you don't make a fuss, who cares if you live or die? ”

"Hmph, you don't seem to be a prisoner."

"How can I be like you? I am the dignified Princess Longyu, Emperor Taizong's favorite child......"

"You are different, a county lord who came from a small country from afar to make peace with him, not only bullying the king, but also plotting rebellion, and ten lives are not enough to kill."

"In that case, then please guess Princess Longyu, why did Your Majesty keep me until now?"

"Don't be sentimental, Your Majesty has just forgotten about you for the time being, that's all. Unbelief? Since you entered this gate, many things have happened outside, the Xiliang mission entered Beijing, the Wanshou Palace was fired, the prince was established, and Tiezha Mountain was assassinated...... Your Majesty is busy with this, morning and night, anxious, how can he take care of you, you, what kind of eyes do you have? ”

"The fire in the Wanshou Palace?" Empress Xiao was overjoyed, "Tell me about this, how can Wanshou Palace be on fire?" By the way, what about the old woman? ”

Princess Longyu obviously didn't expect that Empress Xiao's focus was here, it was about the royal face, she never said much, only said that the Queen Mother was innocent and died in the fire, and nothing else was mentioned. However, Empress Xiao fell to the ground with laughter, and her body trembled.

"Innocent deaths? It's a shame for what you said! Long Yu, you are really the most hypocritical one among all the royal relatives and relatives, even if this palace doesn't know anything about this matter, you can understand by guessing that the fire in Wanshou Palace is definitely not simple, I estimate that nine times out of ten it is because of the misfortune caused by the fact that there are too many beautiful men and they are jealous. ”

"You! How did you learn about the Queen Mother's noodle head? ”

"Cut, what's this? Grandpa Li, who is next to the old woman, is an authentic man......"

Outside the window, under the root of the wall, Emperor Yongchang clutched the corner of his clothes.

In the hall, Empress Xiao proudly vomited what she knew, and after spitting up, she came to a summary, "All this is not because of Your Majesty's connivance!" In the early years, I didn't fail to remind me, but my mother and son are filial, why should I be a wicked person. ”

"Why didn't you tell me? Your Majesty has always been raised by the Empress Dowager Li, and the grace is as big as the sky, it is inconvenient for him to make a move, I can! The stupid woman, since she had known it for a long time, blindly pretended to be deaf and dumb, and if it were not for this, the royal family would not have been disgraced to the ......"

"Whew! Don't you put gold in your face and tell you that your own backyard is clean? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? So far, Princess Longyu is still pretending to be ice clear and jade, laughing to death, you can't even fool Lin Qihou with this look, and you still want to deceive others? ”

"What are you talking nonsense?"

Princess Longyu was greatly flustered, Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but look at the prince, Xiao Li frowned, and seemed to be a little reluctant to listen to the next words, but Empress Xiao raised her voice at this time: "Dingguo Gong, Fuguo Gong, Lin Ge Lao...... Aren't these all princesses' skirt guests? So far, what else does the princess have to hide? Just because you treat others as fools doesn't mean they're really stupid! ”

"Presumptuous! How dare you slander Hongu!! Princess Longyu angrily smashed the tables, chairs and benches, but Queen Xiao laughed extremely crazy, and said while laughing: "In fact, what the palace wants to know most is Liu Hongtai's father, who is ......?"

Emperor Yongchang wanted to cover his ears too late, even if the sound of beating came from inside, he couldn't drive him away in shock, he led the prince over to hear about Mansha's affairs, but he didn't expect to hear nothing, but there were a lot of people who didn't want to hear, the dignified Zhou royal family was ridiculous, and Emperor Yongchang couldn't imagine how to see his ancestors and ancestors a hundred years later......

He got up and decided not to listen to anything.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and stared at Xiao Li intently for a long time.

"Father, if you have anything to say, son, listen."

"I don't understand...... What is wrong with me...... Emperor Yongchang's lips trembled, and he was encouraged by Xiao Li's eyes before continuing: "Although Empress Dowager Li is not my biological mother, I have always regarded her as closer than my biological mother, but in the end, what did she do to me? ”

"When Xiliang came to Zhou Heqin, I fell in love with the lord of Musa at a glance, no, it should be said that it was Princess Mansha who was disguised as the lord of Musa, but in the end, I still followed the will of the first emperor to marry the princess who was originally the lord of the county, after the wedding, I treated her gently, and after succeeding to the throne, she was named the queen, and her son was the prince, but in the end, how did she treat me?"

"And Aunt Longyu, I gave her privileges, gave her military power, and almost gave her the whole country, how did she repay me for this kindness?"

"Tell me, why do they treat me like this?"

"Father's ......"

"You say, whatever you say, I don't blame you."

"The sons thought that their father had too much expectation for them, making them lose themselves and forget their identities, so they did something rebellious and deceived the king."

Emperor Yongchang stared at Xiao Li for a long time, and the breath that had been supported by his heart for a long time dissipated, and the whole person aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, he said weakly: "Send them on the road." ”

"Yes." Liu Fangchun cautiously led the order to retreat.

Xiao Li once again held Emperor Yongchang's arm and said lightly: "My son will help you go back to rest." ”

In this regard, Emperor Yongchang did not reject it.

The father and son walked very slowly, and when they reached the Showa Palace, Emperor Yongchang suddenly said: "What does the prince think of King Sheng?" ”

Xiao Li was taken aback, he didn't expect his father to ask such a question, and when he hesitated, Emperor Yongchang added, "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, even if it is me, it can't do it to the point where King Sheng calls for wind and rain." ”

Xiao Li took a step back, knelt heavily on the ground, and replied: "Erchen has the courage to say to his father, Uncle Shengwang is the eternal Dinghai Divine Needle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has a heavy army, but he has never arbitrarily encroached on his power, and even, if there is no important matter, he will not come forward to ask at all." Take Empress Xiao and Princess Longyu as an example, if there is no Uncle Sheng, I am afraid we will not have such a good end. ”

"I'm glad you think so." Emperor Yongchang personally helped Xiao Li up, looking excited, obviously, Xiao Li didn't expect that Fang Cai's father's words were just a test for him.
