Out of the Yonghe Palace, Yuan Hong ordered the attendants who carried the chariot to travel all the way back to the imperial study.

When he was in the inner hall, because he took care of He and the children, Yuan Hong suppressed the fire in his heart and forbeared. At this time, entering the imperial study, Yuan Hong was convenient for pacing back and forth indoors, like a trapped beast.

The three treasures stood on one side, and when they saw the emperor act like this, they knew that the emperor was already furious. At this time, Sanbao didn't say anything about making a speech or serving tea, but he didn't dare to do it as a superfluous gesture.

As the chief of the inner chamberlain, Sanbao looked at him like this, and in the entire imperial study, the attendants who came and went all bowed their heads, cautious and cautious in everything, lest they collide with the emperor who was angry and be punished and lose their lives.

Today, in the Yonghe Palace, seeing Yuan Ke fainting on the ground, the crown prince Yuan Sui was also panicked, so he hurried out of the palace and returned home while everyone was in a hurry. After getting the emperor's will to summon him into the palace, Yuan Sui felt that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the attendants to report to the palace of the king of Rencheng and other mansions before leaving for the palace.

On weekdays, Yuan Sui mostly enters the palace through Hualin Garden, which is connected to his mansion, which is so fast and convenient. Today, knowing that the monarch's father was going to reprimand himself, Yuan Sui specially ordered the left and right Qingdao guards to drive in from the palace gate to delay time, so that the king of Rencheng and others could enter the palace to plead for themselves.

Although Yuan Sui came prepared, when he entered the imperial study, he saw that his father's face was dark, and he still felt stunned in his heart.

Leaning over and kneeling on the ground, Yuan Sui said carefully: "Son, see Aya!" I wonder what the son of Ayaxuan has commanded when he comes? ”

Yuan Hong was already furious because of Yuan Sui's belated arrival, and at this time, he saw that he asked knowingly, which added fuel to the fire. Glaring at Yuan Sui angrily, Yuan Hong said coldly: "Why did I come to Prince Xuan, the prince really doesn't know?" ”

Since Yuan Sui received the seal of the prince, Yuan Hong has never called him "prince" in person. At this time, hearing that the monarch's father called himself like this, Yuan Sui couldn't help but shudder.

Leaning over and kowtowing, Yuan Sui said: "My son is a little reckless today, I hope Aya will forgive his sins." ”

Yuan Hong reprimanded: "Reckless? You almost caused a catastrophe today, how can you be reckless and pass it away? If Zi Ke hadn't come to the rescue today, Shu'er would have been hurt by the broken porcelain, which would have damaged her skin at least and ruined her face... As an elder brother, you have such a heavy hand on your younger siblings, and you have no brotherly affection at all... What you have done today is in vain as a prince! ”

Yuan Sui was reasonable, although he saw that his father was angry, he still had a fluke heart: "The son did not do it intentionally, just because the second brother did something disobedient, although the son was extremely angry for a while, but he remembered Aye's words of 'brother, friend and brother Gong' on weekdays, and only taught him a few words, and he never thought that the Wang staff who was in charge of the Yonghe Hall had Zuo Zhaoyi as his back, but he was messing around and making trouble unreasonably, so he caused trouble." ”

Yuan Hong knew what had happened, and when he saw that Yuan Sui still had no remorse, he was furious: "I know the cause and effect of this matter, not only do you have no remorse, but you also reverse right and wrong, and I believe in you so deeply." ”

Pointing at Yuan Sui, Yuan Hong then reprimanded: "I have mentioned my face several times, and I have asked my brothers and friends to be kind to each other." As the eldest of all the brothers, you completely disregarded the feelings of your siblings, and fought against your younger siblings, which really disappointed me. ”

When Yuan Sui heard this, he didn't accept it in his heart, although he didn't dare to be superficial, but he had no regrets.

Yuan Hong did not mean to stop speaking: "The so-called great wise people must be humble, and the great good people must be tolerant." As the crown prince, you should be lenient and benevolent, not aggressive, and you must be more than a baht! ”

Before Yuan Sui could speak, he saw that Sanbao was careful to enter inside, and said: "Your Majesty, the three masters of Rencheng, Xianyang, and the prince are all asking to see you outside the imperial study. ”

Yuan Hong looked at Yuan Sui coldly and said: "Now that I have grown, I know that I am looking for someone to rely on when I encounter something... They came just in time..."

Turning to the three treasures, Yuan Hong instructed: "Since the prince has moved the rescue soldiers, you will go and announce their audience." ”

After the Three Treasures should be down, after a while, Yuan Cheng led everyone in. When the crowd saw Yuan Hong kneeling on the ground, and saw Yuan Hong's face sullen, they all knew that something was wrong.

After everyone saluted, Yuan Hong said intentionally: "Zhuqing came at the same time, what is the so-called?" ”

Yuan Cheng, as the head of the clan, heard the emperor's inquiry, bent down, and opened his mouth first: "The ministers dare not deceive Your Majesty, and the ministers enter the palace for the sake of today's prince and King Changshan." ”

Looking at Yuan Cheng, Yuan Hong said: "In this case, the imperial uncle must know the original situation, so the imperial uncle and Zhu Qing are here to lobby for the prince?" ”

Yuan Cheng shook his head and said: "The crown prince and the king of Changshan are both blood and blood of His Majesty, that is the heir of my royal family, and the minister, as the patriarch, has no intention of favoring anyone... The prince may wish to explain the matter in detail, and let the ministers know what is going on. ”

Yuan Sui saw the opportunity, and hurriedly explained the matter in the palace to everyone.

After recounting the previous situation, Yuan Sui looked aggrieved and said: "Aya, your son is your dear blood and blood, how can you rather believe in a cheap slave than your own son!" ”

Yuan Hong snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean, is it that I have listened to and believed it?" Regardless of whether Wang's words are credible or not, I only ask you, have you beaten Zike, slapped Ying'er, and pushed Shu'er down? I am not a mediocre person, and I can tell which is right and which is not! ”

When Yuan Sui heard this, he was speechless for a while, unable to refute.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi hurriedly approached the first half step, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called seeing is believing, and hearing is false... The prince witnessed King Changshan and Feng Xiaoniang have crossed the line, even if they have radical words and deeds, it is human nature. ”

The meaning of Yuan Xi's words, how could Yuan Hong not know. However, it is the same thing, implying that Wang's words cannot be fully believed. Yuan Hong is convinced of He, and he believes in the people close to him, and what Wang said is evidenced by Yuan Ying and the palace people, so he will not say anything nonsense.

Looking at Yuan Xi, Yuan Hong said: "According to the words of the second brother, today is the prince who is wrong?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't have this intention." Only King Changshan and Feng Xiaoniang were at fault first, so the prince was angry. The husband is the wife, if the wife's virtue is lost, it is still unstoppable, and the prince is the prince? ”

Taifu Muliang is connected to Feng's in-laws, and he doesn't want Feng Ji to lose, let alone offend the prince. At this time, hearing Yuanxi's words, Mu Liang said: "Little Lady Feng is the granddaughter of the Taishi, raised in the boudoir since childhood, and is familiar with women's virtue... The prince has always been kind to his younger brothers and sisters, and according to the minister's shallow opinion, there must be a mistake in this matter. ”

Yuan Hong said solemnly: "Although there is a reason for the incident, the prince must not ignore the feelings of brotherhood. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and the two sisters are still young, how can the prince bear to be so heavy-handed! If you have done this to your brothers and sisters, how much more have you been with the people? As a monarch, he is the lord of the world, and he can turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain, and he should be both rigid and soft instead of willful. With your kind of heart, how will I deliver this country to you in the future? You can know that those who are not benevolent are in the extreme, and the family and country will be in great trouble! ”

When Yuan Sui heard this, his face changed instantly, and he kept kowtowing and said: "Aya forgives his sins, his son is wrong, and his son will treat his younger brothers and sisters well in the future and live in harmony!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Hong's eyebrows were frowning and his face was solemn, the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded for Yuan Sui in a loud voice.

Young Master Li Chong raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Wei famous scholar Ji Gong once wrote: 'Mandarin ducks are flying, and their feathers are suppressed.'" Traveling to the plateau, staying in Lanzhu at night, Yong Yong and Ming, Gu Xuan couple. Admire generosity, and be tolerant. A few days ago, the prince also discussed this poem with his ministers, and the prince said that this poem uses mandarin ducks to metaphorize brotherly harmony and friendship... The prince is still reading poetry like this, how can he really be ruthless to his brothers, Your Majesty thinks twice! ”

Before Li Chong could speak, Yuan Cheng said: "Your Majesty once personally promised the Taishi and Feng Situ that he wanted to make Feng Xiaoniang the crown prince and concubine. Although Your Majesty has not issued an edict, but the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are well known, if Feng Xiaoniang really has a personal affair with King Changshan, how can Your Majesty and the prince have face? Although the crown prince acted recklessly today, he was also excusable. ”

After all, Yuan Sui is Yuan Hong's eldest son, and he is responsible for the family and the country. Thinking of this, Yuan Hong also breathed a sigh of relief: "Although there is a reason for today's incident, the prince should also act with self-denial. As a prince, if you don't have the power of self-denial, how can you rule the world in the future? ”

Looking around at everyone, Yuan Hong said with a straight face: "The prince acted excessively, not by Renjun. And filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, if you can't love your parents and sisters, how can you rule the world? Today, the prince has the intention of repenting, and I believe in him again, if he commits it again in the future, he will not be forgiven! ”

Looking at Yuan Sui, who was kowtowing again and again, Yuan Hong then said: "The prince indulges his willfulness, although his sin is not abolished, he should still be disciplined. Immediately, the king of Xianyang executed me and whipped a hundred! ”
