Chapter 183: The Prince's Abolition (1)
Lu Xiu, the middle housekeeper, and Gao Rong, the middle concubine, were familiar with the prince's heart, and when they saw that they suddenly changed their minds, they knew that the persuasion was ineffective. After leaving the Yuan Sui dormitory, when they returned to the duty office, the two hurriedly consulted on how to deal with it.
Yuan Sui learned that his right son, Zheng Qiao, had leaked what he had planned, and when Lu Xiu and Gao Rong were sent away, he pulled his legs and went to the side hall. The palace maids who were on duty at night in the hall saw that Yuan Sui's face was dark, and they didn't know what was going on, so they were all worried and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Zheng Qiao couldn't sleep because he was worried about Yuanxi, and he got up when he heard the sound outside the hall. After all, production is imminent, action is slow, Zheng Qiao has just stayed, and Yuan Sui has already rushed into it angrily.
When Yuan Sui saw Zheng Qiao, he scolded: "Slut! I treated you with sincerity in vain, but I didn't expect you to tell right and wrong, and sell your husband for glory! ”
Zheng Qiao knelt on the ground with the support of Xuanhong, a nearby maid, and said: "The prince is angry, everything the concubine does is for the prince's long-term plan!" ”
Yuan Sui pointed at Zheng Qiao and said hatefully: "For me? Thou hast spoken quietly, and thou hast told thee the truth, and thou hast never thought that thou hast scheming with ill intentions, but thou hast been sent by Aya! ”
Hearing Yuansui's words, Zheng Qiao's eyes were already shining, and he said: "The concubine and the prince are heart-to-heart, how can they be half selfish?" Prince, Your Majesty is the king and the father, and you are the minister and the son. And the crown prince, you are now fledgling, how can you compete with Your Majesty? The prince listened to the advice of his concubine and imprisoned the country with peace of mind, and in the future, he will have the time when the king will reign in the world..."
Yuan Sui snorted coldly and said, "I wanted you to be the queen when the day came true, but now it seems that I am wishful thinking..."
Looking at Zheng Qiao coldly, Yuan Sui continued: "If it weren't for your imminent birth, I would definitely beat you to death with a stick!" If you can get a man in this womb, I will spare you from death... You just ask for more blessings! ”
Turning his head to Cheng Liang, he said: "Grounded this slut in the side hall, and she is not allowed to meet outsiders!" After saying that, Yuan Sui brushed his sleeves away.
The autumn wind and rain were fierce, and everyone had no sleep all night.
Because the matter of leaving Beijing was already known to Lu Xiu and Gao Rong, Yuan Sui had to be cautious. Before dawn, Yuan Sui led Cheng Liang and the left and right attendants to quietly enter the back alley from Huayuan, wanting to leave the mansion from there.
A carriage stopped in the back alley, and Yuan Sui was about to board the carriage when he heard the sound of footsteps. Yuan Sui turned his head to look, only to see Gao Rong, the middle concubine, walking quickly.
Gao Rong bowed and saluted, "The prince stays, dare to ask the prince, where are you going?" ”
Yuan Sui sank his face: "Where am I going?" Isn't it true that everything must be known to the middle concubine? ”
Gao Rong said: "The minister doesn't dare! Only the ministers and the middle house people have already benefited the prince last night, if the prince is obsessed, the minister has to offend the prince..."
Before Gao Rong could speak, Yuan Sui shouted: "Bold Gao Rong!" I am a person who loves talents, so I respect you a little, but I don't expect you to be proud of your talents and dare to despise me, then it is no wonder that I am. ”
Between the words, Yuan Sui lost his eyes at Cheng Liang, and Cheng Liang understood at the moment, so that the left and right attendants rushed up and pressed Gao Rong to the ground.
Although Gao Rong has a martial arts, he was caught off guard and surrendered. Yuan Sui approached and said to Gao Rong: "I heard that the middle concubine will be a horse lieutenant in the coming year, and my aunt is my dearest. ”
Although Gao Rong knew that Yuan Sui had no intention of returning to his heart, he still had a fluke heart, so he said: "The minister is willing to follow the prince, and he will do his best to assist the prince, but the prince should be at ease and loyal to his father, and he will have the time to ascend to the throne in the future." ”
Hearing Gao Rong's words, Yuan Sui said with a smile: "I have good words to persuade you, but you are stubborn." In that case, then don't blame me for not being a monarch and a minister to you. ”
After speaking, he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Gao Rong's throat, and said sharply: "If you are willing to regret it now, I will not care about you and my aunt..."
Gao Rong's face was fearless, and said: "Princess Pengcheng is Your Majesty's sister, and the prince wants to oppose His Majesty, so why should he care about the princess?" Gao Rong is just a scholar, and he can only be an official by His Majesty's grace. The so-called food king's lu, loyal to the king's business, Gao Rong has received His Majesty's favor, and he should be loyal to His Majesty! ”
When Yuan Sui heard this, he was annoyed and angry: "Stupid! If you swear allegiance to Aya, then I will be fulfilled for you! ”
Before everyone could react, Yuan Sui slashed the blade of his sword downward, stabbing directly into Gao Rong's chest, and blood splattered everywhere in an instant. Cheng Liang and the attendants on the left and right on the side saw that they had lost their lives, and they panicked.
Yuan Sui coldly glanced at everyone and said unhappily: "Those who achieve great things should have courage and knowledge!" Just one life, what a tooth to worry about. ”
After that, he handed over the sword to Yu Chengliang to wipe, then boarded the carriage and motioned for everyone to leave quickly with him.
In the bitter rain of the autumn night, in the tent of the king of Yanshi, Yuan Hong sat in the north with a solemn face. Xianyang Wang Yuanxi and Taifu Mu Liang knelt on both sides, while Young Fu Li Chong stood in the center.
Li Chong left Beijing last night and rushed all the way to the royal camp, and Li Chong had already entrusted the prince's desire to leave Beijing to Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong looked at the teacup in his hand and only lowered his head and said nothing.
Yuan Xi was originally friendly with the crown prince, and was shocked when he heard Li Chong's words. In order to prove that it has nothing to do with Yuan Sui, Yuan Xi admonished: "Your Majesty, if the prince really leaves Beijing, it will be a crime of rebellion, and Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
Mu Liang looked at Li Chong and said suspiciously: "Dare to ask the young master, how did You Zhaoyi learn about this?" ”
Li Chong had already agreed with Li Shi to deal with him, and when he heard Mu Liang's words, Li Chong said: "That little chamberlain inadvertently spied into the heavens, and he was panicked. Now that His Majesty has left Beijing, the palace is respected by Right Zhaoyi, and it is reasonable for him to present this matter to Right Zhaoyi..."
"Right Zhaoyi cares about His Majesty, and when he got this news, he announced that the ministers would enter the palace to discuss. It is a matter of the safety of the society and His Majesty, and the minister does not dare to slack off in the slightest. The minister and the right Zhaoyi soldiers were divided into two ways, the minister left the capital and faced the saint, and the right Zhaoyi went to the prince's mansion to persuade him..."
Yuan Xi saw that the emperor was silent, and when Li Chong stopped talking, he urged on the side: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! ”
Yuan Hong raised his head slightly, his face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Zi Xun... Zi Sui really has the heart of rebellion..."
When the three of them heard this, they looked dazed. Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Hong and said suspiciously: "Isn't it that Your Majesty knew that the prince had the heart to leave Beijing?" ”
Yuan Hong let out a long sigh and said: "I got a secret report before I left Beijing, and I know that Yuanlong frequently exchanged letters with the prince, and Yuanlong had a very close relationship with He Zhengming and Liu Enkun... In view of this, I took Zi Ke and Zi Huai to go together, and I have the heart to give it a try and see how Zi Xie reacts..."
"Beware of being broad-minded for the monarch, the so-called sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great... If Zi Sui can supervise the country with peace of mind this time, I will entrust him with the right to govern the country, and I will expand the territory with peace of mind and pacify the Southern Qi Dynasty... Zi Xun, what a disappointment for me! ”
At this time, everyone knew why the emperor ignored the opposition of his ministers and ordered Yuan Ke and Yuan Huai brothers to accompany him to worship the sky.
Mu Liang got up and left the table, took off the crown, knelt on the ground, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Taishi is in the world, and the old minister is respected among the three divisions, and now the prince intends to rebel, but the minister has not completed his teaching, and the minister is guilty of death!" ”
Seeing Mu Liang like this, Li Chong hurriedly took off the crown, knelt beside him, and the two of them kowtowed together.
Seeing the two of them like this, Yuan Hong motioned for Yuan Xi to help the two of them up, and said quietly: "You blame yourself for only your own selfishness." The crown prince is the prince of the country, but it is a misfortune for the family and the country to do such a disobedient thing! ”
When everyone heard this, they did not dare to say more, and for a time there was a sound of needles falling in the king's tent.
At this time, the Three Treasures, who were guarding outside the tent, hurriedly entered the tent. Leaning over and saluting, Sanbao said: "Your Majesty, the people of Zhongshe ask to see!" ”
The middle house people and the middle concubine are close ministers of the prince, and at this time, the middle house people must be different from the prince.
Lu Xiu was welcomed in by the three treasures, and when he was about to salute, he knew the reason for coming to Yuanhong. After speaking, Lu Xiu said sadly: "The minister and the middle concubine agreed, the minister waited outside the city gate, and the middle concubine advanced to persuade the prince... If, if he does not see him go to the city for half an hour, it means that he has encountered an accident, and he will be ordered to hurry up and come to face the saint..."
When Yuan Hong heard this, he tightened his eyebrows: "Zi Xun not only disobeyed his father, but also killed his close ministers at will, which really chilled my heart..." Suddenly, his heart was struck, but he saw that his hand was covering his heart, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and his face was pale.
Seeing this, everyone panicked and surrounded the royal front. Sanbao was about to call the imperial doctor, but Yuan Hong slowed down a little and waved his hand to stop it. Sanbao's heart tightened, and the emperor was injured by an ambush at the Changyi Post Station that year, and the dragon's body fell into a hidden disease.
Sanbao was busy serving the daily must-have ginseng soup, Yuan Hong drank it slowly, and after a while, he opened his mouth: "The son disobeys the monarch's father, harbors evil intentions, and is lawless, if this son does not go, there will be endless disasters for the family and country." If I die and go west, I am afraid that I will repeat the disaster of Yongjia..."
