Chapter 313: Self-Killing
The crown prince looked up to the sky and shouted three times, he went to see the emperor again, and his eyes were also full of hatred, "In the past, no matter what the sons did, good or bad, even if the sons did something rebellious and unbearable, the father and emperor never punished him." Both inside and outside the palace said that the father and the emperor loved his sons and daughters so much, and the sons and daughters always thought that because they were the heirs, they could be so tolerant of their fathers. Father, the son has never known, I have never known, my father has acted for so many years, and he has hated a woman who has been dead for many years and has never had a trace of husband and wife affection, but he has to play the role of husband and wife, father, aren't you tired? ? ”
"It's hard to be an emperor, it's hard to be an emperor!"
Yun Zhen's mind was full of fog when he heard this, he looked at Concubine Rong, and saw Concubine Rong staring at the prince, her eyes were full of horror, and the emperor burst into tears and hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Once some hatred is planted, it has taken root for a long time, and if you want to eradicate it, you have to bear the pain of tearing your heart, and your father is incompetent and refuses to suffer such pain, so you can only be wronged." ”
"My father also thought about compensating you for this throne, and never thought of abolishing your crown prince, but why did you have such a rebellious heart today?"
The crown prince knelt down with a "poof", crying and laughing, "The throne? Compensate your sons? Father, after the son is born, can you hug the son once? After so many years of schoolwork, has my father ever asked? Checked a word? No, Father, you never had! ”
He pointed at Yun Zhen, "But they are not, other princes are not, especially the eighth brother, father, which time you checked the homework, didn't you scold the eighth brother the most?" Which time did you ride and shoot, you didn't teach him by hand? Because he is not good at studying, you actually whipped him with your own hands, and then gave him good medicine. What you have never done to your sons, but you said in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the enlightenment of your sons is your own pen, and the sons of your sons are riding and shooting is you personally helping you to get on the horse, father, how did your sons ever want to go over this country? Erchen only looks forward to the next life, and will never be born in this emperor's family again, he will be scolded by his father, and he will be beaten by his father, and he will be a father's heart to his son! ”
After he finished speaking, he raised his sword horizontally and slashed it at his neck.
When the emperor saw the great mourning, he shouted, "Yunxian! ”
Yun Zhen pounced and used his sword to open the prince's sword, but he was just a step late, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, his body fell, and the whole person lay on the ground stretched, the blood on his neck gushed out, and he smiled at Yun Zhen who rushed over, "Eighth brother, the second brother's skills are still good, right?" They all say that your sword is fast, but in the end it is not as fast as mine. ”
Yun Zhen was speechless, he knelt on the ground and grabbed Yun Xian's hand, "Second brother, don't say it, the imperial doctor is coming soon......"
Yun Xian smiled, "What are you afraid of death?" He looked at the emperor, "Father, my son knows that many things in this world are involuntarily, and I don't blame my father, I just want to have a beautiful woman in the next life, have a good meal, spend a lifetime together, and don't be born in this emperor's house again!" ”
After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, the corners of his lips slowly hooked, as if he had fulfilled his wishes, and there were no regrets, but two tears fell from the corners of his eyes, sliding to his sideburns.
Yun Zhen couldn't help crying, he only felt that more than 20 years of brotherhood, living farther away from each other than strangers, from the day he was sensible, what the people around him taught him was that the prince is a king, he is a minister, he must respect the prince, there must be no arrogance, no one dares to teach him, and the prince is also his brother who is connected by blood. Only at this moment did he feel the pain of blood in his heart, and the methods and strategies used by the brothers, the determination to knock all these brothers down and press them down one by one, had turned into pain, and rushed towards him like a tide.
Concubine Rong also shed tears, and the emperor supported her, almost unsteady on her feet.
As soon as the crown prince died, the surrounding rebels were leaderless and had been completely wiped out. The soldiers who followed Yun Zhen also retreated and set up camp five miles away. Yun Zhen put the prince's sword aside, wiped away his tears, got up, and presented the talisman in his hand to the emperor, "Father, the son of the emperor led 30,000 Yulin soldiers to the king, and now the rebels have been ambushed, and the son of the minister has surrendered the army!" ”
The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the palace, looking extremely tired. But he still motioned to Xia Shouzhong to take back the talisman in Yun Zhen's hand, and said weakly, "The Yulin Army is still under your control, what happened to the capital?" ”
"Erchen got the express report, Zhang Qi has rebelled on the side of the capital, and the guards of the Qinjun Wangfu and the Ningjun Wangfu have recovered the inner city under the deployment of the fourth brother, but if they want to completely recover the capital, it is not realistic to use the troops in their hands. When Erchen returned, he had already led 10,000 troops to the capital with his thirteenth brother, hoping to quell the rebellion. ”
The emperor nodded, "What do you think about the matter of the crown prince?" ”
Yun Zhen thought for a while, "Father, the second brother doesn't really want to usurp the throne, he just wants to get his father's love, and begs his father to open the net!" ”
The emperor sighed, "Father, father, father, how do you tell me to open the net?" If you are the one sitting on this dragon chair today, how are you going to open the net? ”
"Erchen doesn't dare!"
In the end, the emperor remembered his rescue work, and waved his hand, "Go, bring Zhang Kai to see me, I want to ask, why did he, Zhang Kai, be so favored and trusted by me, why did he do such a disloyal and unrighteous thing?" ”
"Yes!"
In the capital, the sound of attack came, and Yun You got the news and led the guards of the two prefectures to focus on attacking the north, in order to attack the outside inside and outside. After a while, the news came that the prince was dead, and the 50,000 forbidden army was defeated, and he had long since refused to listen to Zhang Qi's dispatch. On the east side of the city wall, Zhang Qi faced the direction of the crown prince and was about to kill himself, Yun Zhen rushed to the horse, stood under the city wall, and asked, "Zhang Qi, Your Majesty asked you, the emperor's grace is vast, why do you still do such disloyal and unrighteous things?" ”
Zhang Qi was speechless, and knelt down, "The rebel minister Zhang Qi will never see the king again in this life, Your Majesty, if there is an afterlife, the minister will serve the dogs and horses again!" After speaking, he slammed his sword, but an arrow hit his right arm first, his arm hurt, the long sword fell, and Zhang Kai had already been captured by the Yulin army who rushed to the city wall.
Yun Zhen has already walked on the city wall, "Zhang Qi, it's a man, don't do such a cowardly act, since you dare to rebel, why should you be afraid of the national code and criminal law?" ”
That night, the emperor drove into Beijing, although the soldiers and horses of the five cities had already cleaned the streets, but there was still a lingering smell of blood in the air. Concubine Rong sat kneeling in the imperial coffin, and the emperor's forehead was covered with a handkerchief, which Concubine Rong changed for him from time to time. I felt a cold, and I was about to get it, but the emperor grabbed my wrist, and when I saw that the emperor opened his eyes at some point, stared at her, and asked, "I want to make the child we born the crown prince, what do you think?" ”
Concubine Rong smiled indifferently, still stretched out her hand to take off the handkerchief, soaked hot water in the basin, wrung it out, and put it on for him, "The establishment of the prince is a major matter of the imperial court, such a matter, Your Majesty should discuss it with the courtiers, and the concubines and harem women, can you talk in vain?" ”
