The night is deep, there are no stars in the sky, only a little sporadic left, the cold wind is raging in the air, the cold night wind blows the pedestrians on the street are curled up, Suzaku Street, hundreds of cavalry escort a carriage to break the wind, the sound of neat horse hooves breaks the silence of the night, and there are only hundreds of horsemen guarding the royal family in the imperial city.

Xia Yiyu sat in the carriage and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, although he had not rested for a moment for a day and a night, he did not feel the slightest sleepiness when he closed his eyes at this time.

At the moment, he was thinking back to what Xie Yufei had confessed, and when he brought evidence to the audience, he needed to play the sad card to give up the management rights of the royal money house to blackmail, to see if he could get some benefits for himself.

Qian Zhuang has not yet developed steadily, and he is running it by himself, his father will definitely not agree, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth pulled up a shallow smile, the two brothers want to put themselves in a place where they will never turn over, but have they ever thought that they would send themselves a promotion step?

Xia Yiyu opened his eyes and glanced at the thick stack of rolls of paper on the small table of the carriage, which were all evidence of participation in the run on the royal bank, including the confession narrated by the ruffian.

The carriage slowly drove into the palace gate after stopping for a check, the deputy general on duty at the palace gate squinted his eyes and stared at the carriage that drove in, the third prince has entered the palace through this gate for the fourth time since the restoration of the dynasty, he has reported three times, naturally he can't miss this time.

The adjutant sneered, stretched out his hand to summon a soldier, whispered a few words in his ear, and the soldier nodded and ran towards Suzaku Street.

——————————————————

At this time, Emperor Xiyuan was meditating and enlightening in a small Taoist temple that had just been built in the harem, and when he heard that Xiao Jianyu reported that the third son had an urgent matter to see, he was dissatisfied with being disturbed, but he had to get up and go.

Today, however, there has been no disturbance in the capital since his accession to the throne. The last time the third son entered the palace to send silver, he reported that he had found someone who was unfavorable to Qian Zhuang, and asked to let him deal with it himself, but he reluctantly agreed, but secretly sent someone to monitor the movement, and now he must have come to report the matter.

When Emperor Xiyuan arrived at the Taiqing Palace, Xia Yiyu was already waiting inside.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Xia Yiyu paid a big salute!

"My son is exempt!"

Emperor Xi Yuan did not pick up his son in person this time, because this is not the moment to stage a deep drama of father-son love, he is concerned about the royal money bank, and he is very anxious, it is his money bag.

Emperor Xiyuan hurriedly walked to the imperial case, and as soon as he sat down, he asked, "Emperor, can Qian Zhuang be properly handled before today's incident?" ”

"Father, today's run on the bank, the son has properly dealt with the past, and the son has also investigated the person who participated in the run behind the trouble, and after the arrest of the criminal, he has collected evidence after interrogation, please ask the father to investigate!" Xia Yiyu said that, and raised the thick stack of confessions above his head.

When Emperor Xiyuan heard Xia Yiyu's report, his brows furrowed, what did 'behind' mean, how could he not know? If the scandal is leaked, others will question his ability to control, and even family affairs cannot be peaceful, and even the family scandal is publicized, so how can he govern?

Emperor Xiyuan took the confession handed by Xiao Jian with a sad face, read it carefully, and after reading it, his heart was relieved, and he secretly praised Xia Yiyu in his heart, and the confession did not mention that someone instructed him from beginning to end. If the third son has no way to get out of these mouths, he doesn't believe it, and he obviously doesn't want to pursue it.

Emperor Xiyuan raised his head, looked at the third son who was standing respectfully with a loving face, and said, "Wu'er has done a good job!" Father's heart is very relieved! ”

Xia Yiyu stood in the center of the hall with a lonely expression, glanced at his father who was high above him with a hint of humility in his eyes, knelt down and said: "The sons have thanked their fathers for their protection, but the sons dare not take credit!" Erchen has a report, Erchen felt that his ability was insufficient because of this matter, he had already anticipated the opportunity, but he was unable to stop it, although he could make up for it afterwards, but he could not cover up the fact that it almost caused a catastrophe, and the son-in-law asked his father to exempt his father from the management of the royal bank, so that the son-in-law retreated! ”

Emperor Xi Yuan looked at the slightly sad figure kneeling on the ground, and the trace of fatherly love hidden in the corner of his heart was deeply touched.

For all his children, he treated them equally as a trace of paternal love.

How did the third son say that he didn't understand? He is incapable? He can make a great cause of reform and establish a royal bank, and the crisis of the bank can be resolved in an extreme time, how can he not be capable?

It's just that having the ability to do things doesn't mean that you have the strength to do things, strength is higher than everything, and now the third son asks to leave with his whole body? This is to retreat as advance, to benefit the three sons have made a lot of meritorious contributions, and all the meritorious contributions are important events for the benefit of the country and the people, and there has been no reward so far.

Thinking about this, Emperor Xiyuan sighed again and again in his heart, feeling bored, the three adult sons, either civil or martial or both civil and military, all of them are talented but also ambitious, peeking at Dabao, Emperor Xiyuan did not believe that there was no foundation The three sons would not have this intention.

However, Emperor Xiyuan doesn't care, the two sons still need to control the balance by themselves, and the three sons make trouble, then there is nothing to do, forming a triangle trend, which corner is warped, how can the other two corners agree? Anyway, the two sons are also making trouble, and the three sons are also making trouble, since the third son has the ability and wants to get ahead, I will help him, why not help myself?

Emperor Xiyuan thought about this matter and was happy in his heart, looking at the third son, he said softly: "The emperor has made a lot of contributions to me for the court, I have never rewarded the emperor, and let the emperor suffer this grievance, I feel ashamed, I will reward the emperor this time, so as to make up for the grievances suffered by the emperor!" On the day of my life, I will summon Zong Zheng into the palace and crown you as the king of Qin! ”

As soon as Emperor Xiyuan's words came out, the bodies of the other two people in the hall were suddenly shocked.

Crowned king? Or the King of Qin? Xiao Jian, who was standing behind Emperor Xiyuan, heard that his heart was already turbulent, and there was only one prince in the more than 200 years of the dynasty whose title was King Qin, which was the title of Emperor Taizong, who made great achievements at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Xiao Jian raised his eyes and glanced at the three princes kneeling on the ground, and saw that his vertical hands were continuing to tremble, and then lowered his eyes again, how could Xiao Jian not understand the emperor's move, the three princes have no foundation to help, and the title of ordinary prince cannot compete with the eldest prince and the second prince at all, after all, at the age of the two princes, they are also about to be crowned kings, and only by using the false name of King Qin can more people cast rats.

Xia Yiyu tried his best to calm down his uncontrollable excitement at this moment, took a deep breath, and said: "The son is grateful for his father's grace, and the son is determined to make new contributions to his father, do his best, and die!" ”

Emperor Xiyuan was very satisfied with the performance of his three sons, thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and the monarch's father - the monarch is the father first. Satisfied but pretending to be angry and scolded softly, saying: "Nonsense, why do father and son need to use such unfortunate words to fool their father!" Father just knows what you want, and you don't need to say anything to show loyalty! ”

Xia Yiyu knew that his father was not really angry, so he bowed and said: "Thank you for your father's admonition, and your son knows his mistakes!" ”

Emperor Xiyuan put on a strict father posture and said, "Hmm~ It's good to know your mistakes, don't make them again in the future!" Tomorrow, after discussing with Zongzheng, I will announce to the world that you will be the king of Qin! I'm tired, the emperor retreats first! ”

"Erchen will retire first!" Xia Yiyu kowtowed again, and then got up and exited the main hall.
