Chapter 80: Exile
When the emperor heard what Chen Wei said so reasonable, the emperor was also stunned, and he was stunned for a moment, could it be that as he said, Cheng'er really framed Heng'er at any cost? But he is already the crown prince, why did he do this?
At this time, after thinking about it a lot, the emperor already knew that no matter what the truth was, he could not be probed again, if it was really Cheng'er who framed Heng'er, but he could not ignore the relationship between father and son and abolish the position of the prince of Cheng'er, then it would damage the reputation of the prince of Cheng'er and the prestige of the future Son of Heaven.
Heng'er is good-hearted, the deceit in this deep palace, and the ambitions of the ministers above the court are all unbearable for Heng'er.
"So far, since you are obsessed, what is the truth, I don't know the interest, tomorrow, the three princes will be exiled, and they will not be allowed to enter this deep palace." The emperor seemed to be resolute, and he seemed to turn around in a dejected manner, and he also angrily shook his hand and ordered: "Take these two down, and they can be exiled tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, not only Chen Wei, Gao Yunheng, but even the minions in the imperial study were deeply shocked, and they were born from their hearts, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince would never act like this.
Suddenly, Gao Yunheng's face was haggard, gloomy and sad, a pair of melancholy eyes, the eyes were already moist, he looked at the emperor's back in a daze, and secretly smiled bitterly, after all, he still couldn't resist the company since childhood.
That's right, when he was wandering, when his father found him and asked him to enter the palace, he was not without scruples in his heart, even if he had heard that the heavenly family was ruthless, and many emperors of previous dynasties killed each other because of the competition for the position of prince, and there were bitter rumors between father and son.
Even so, he is convinced of the innate blood in his bones, the heaven-sent emotion. Even if he stayed in the palace for a year, his father admitted it to the outside world, and even saw the deceit in the deep palace. It doesn't matter, as long as he can see his father often, he knows that in this deep palace, in this world, he still has relatives, he is willing to endure, have no regrets, and be willing to eat, but this deep palace is not a place where he can stay after all.
"Father, it is the sons who are not filial, the sons are not blessed, and they can't wait by your side, the sons and daughters will say goodbye, I just hope you will take care of them in the future." After Gao Yunheng finished speaking, he rubbed his hands and kowtowed goodbye.
Hearing this, the emperor trembled in the depths of his heart, slowly turned around, and saw Gao Yuncheng kowtowing, he was very ashamed, he was also his own blood, but he could only be treated like this, just because he was born in the royal family.
Chen Wei felt guilty and secretly regretted it, but it was too late to regret it. Today in the East Palace, he should have noticed that something was wrong with the prince, and he was alert to the prince, the prince has always been an enemy of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and how could he accept the birthday gift from His Royal Highness the Third Prince, even if he had a little vigilance, he would not let the prince's treacherous plan succeed, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince would not fall into that person's trap.
"No more need." The emperor interrupted Gao Yunheng's words, and his words revealed determination, as if he was quite unbearable, and said again: "Cherish it." After speaking, with a light turn, the dragon robe also fluttered in the swing, showing the majesty of the emperor.
Immediately, Gao Yunheng was also like ashes, staggered to his feet, seeing this, Chen Wei immediately supported him, and staggered out of the imperial study surrounded by guards.
Outside the palace of the imperial study, Xu Jun, Lin Xi, Gao Yuncheng and his party were also waiting anxiously, Gao Yunheng slowly walked past Gao Yuncheng and his party, looking at each other at a glance, inexplicably shocked in the depths of his heart, and suddenly looked back, as if time stood still, and then pondered carefully, but it was also Mu Ran's pity for the group.
Gao Yuncheng secretly considered, maybe the three princes who were going to be exiled were the ones who could really take on the heavy responsibility of the Qianxia Kingdom, the future prince, and the choice of the Son of Heaven.
Inside the Imperial Study Hall.
"I have brought all the people, and they are them." Xu Jun also rubbed his hands and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Lin Xi also stood up respectfully, clasped his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is the guard of Qingling Lake in the suburbs, and these people took down the notice of the emperor when they posted the notice. ”
"You took down the notice of the emperor's list? This Qingling Lake incident is not trivial. "Which master of his original path is a great power, but there are only a few young people standing in the main hall, he doesn't believe it, a few young people can handle the matter of Qingling Lake, which is also full of suspicion.
"You're a Taoist?" The emperor's deep eyes stared straight at the Taoist priest, as if he wanted to see him through.
The emperor knew that how could ordinary people easily remove the emperor's list, there must be something extraordinary, and sure enough, one of them was wearing a Taoist robe, which was also a manifestation of the fairy wind and bones, but this person's eyes were full of fear, which made people unbelievable.
The Taoist priest was also uneasy, and glanced at Gao Yuncheng and them, his eyes were quite innocent, as if he was asking Gao Yuncheng for help, but his mind was already blank, and said: "Hui, back to the saint, the poor Taoist is a wandering Taoist priest, wandering in the inn of the capital." I heard about the rumors of Qingling Lake in the Daozhong, so I and a few friends in Beijing unveiled the notice of the emperor's list and came to the palace to meet the emperor. ”
It's strange that this person's eyes hide a look of emptiness, but in an instant, he can talk so eloquently. This Taoist priest actually said that the Qingling Lake incident was a rumor? Could it be that in the past hundred years, the people of the whole city have lived in a lie? Where did the emperor know, secretly, the phoenix saw that the Taoist priest was trembling, trembling all over, and he also used the sound from outside the sky to warn and even threaten, so that the Taoist priest could be normal.
"You stinky Taoist priest, losing your honor in front of the emperor is a big deal, of course, a few of us are not afraid, but when the time comes, no one will save you." 'The phoenix is also a voice from the sky.
understand, Poor Dao will no longer dare to be so stunned.
That's pretty much it. The phoenix's face showed a proud face.
"Rumors? The legend of Qingling Lake has been spread for a hundred years, a hundred years ago when the emperor was deeply anointed, because of a scholar's practice, the emperor was able to cure the disease, and the longevity was long, but you told me that this is a rumor? If the people of the capital fall into misery because of this, you say, who can bear the consequences? The emperor sat on the rosewood chair, magnificent, his face showed indignation, his hands grasped the armrests of the dragon chair, and secretly caressed the totem of the dragon pattern.
Suddenly, the cold wind whistled, blowing, swirling above the main hall, everyone also shivered, shivering, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and full of weirdness.
Seeing that they couldn't lobby the emperor, the five people of Gao Yuncheng also looked at each other helplessly.
Xu Jun secretly gave Lin Xi a questioning look. Shicai Lin Xi was anxious, and secretly stomped his feet, these people are not crazy, so they came to this deep palace to say such ridiculous words, who has not known about Qingling Lake for three hundred years, now, how can it be that if you say a rumor, he can believe it, if the emperor is angry because of this, then he will definitely not let them go.
'What to do?' He simply sent him...' The phoenix heard from the sky, but a sly smile appeared on his face.
Long Yan, Qilin, and Chang Shou also looked at the phoenix in horror, is this phoenix still an ancient divine beast? At this time, the phoenix is so cunning, like a fox, although this emperor is not the master's relatives, but he has a fate, how can it be so absurd.
'Phoenix, you are crazy, this emperor is also an ordinary person, this Qingling Lake has been rumored for a hundred years, no wonder he doesn't believe it. 'Long Yan Tianwai sounded.
Having said that, the fate of these 200 people has completely fallen into the hands of this emperor, but you can't let the people of Li in the capital die because of this absurd rumor to pay tribute to Qingling Lake, right? Just find another way to deal with him. 'The unicorn spreads out of the sky.
'Yes, Phoenix, it's ridiculous to kill him. Since we have encountered this Qingling Lake, we must stop it. Otherwise, I would be too sorry for the prestige of the ancient divine beasts. 'Everlasting Heaven Spreads.
'What? My god's phoenix, I just said that I want to confuse this emperor and ask him to be obedient, but the three of you think that the phoenix wants to harm him? It's really stupid, Phoenix I don't care about the common people in the world. The phoenix was also surprised, and he was angry and arrogant.
The emperor inexplicably felt something strange on the hall, and he was sober, maybe he should listen, what these people are going to do, maybe it is because Heng'er is going to be exiled, which makes him also absent-minded, triggering the anger in the depths of his heart, and making him lose his mind.
"I don't know, how are you going to solve the Qingling Lake incident? If we really can't find a way to solve Qingling Lake, then we can only pay tribute to Qingling Lake with 200 people. The emperor also said curiously, but between his words, it seemed to reveal a magnificent atmosphere, worthy of the emperor's respect.
Hearing the sound, the people in the hall were full of fear, and they were terrible from their hearts.
"Your Majesty, the grass people have a strategy. The saint did not believe that this Qingling Lake originated from rumors, so he selected 200 people to go to this suburb to pay tribute to Qingling Lake, as long as these 200 people were safe, and asked the emperor to announce the whole city to dispel the rumors of this hundred years. Gao Yuncheng's admonition was quite clear to heart, and the tone was unquestionable.
Seeing that this person was so confident, he was quite emotional, "You are so sure that Qingling Lake is a rumor?" Then you will go to Qingling Lake tomorrow, and you will definitely settle the matter before noon. ”
"Do the holy thing." Gao Yuncheng and several people also said in the same way.
"Stand down, all of you." The emperor also said gloomily, with a melancholy look on his face, although he didn't believe it in the bottom of his heart, but there was no way but to let these people try.
Just when everyone quietly withdrew from the main hall of the imperial study, the emperor in the hall was also stunned, and the memories of the past with Heng'er's joyful recognition appeared in his mind, which was really sad.
