Chapter 313: The Truth
The wind was roaring in the middle of the court.
The crown prince Qin Shao presided over, Rong Su and Rong Hong joined hands, and the Yushitai of the Criminal Department jointly tried this shocking case, and the shocking conspiracy that the Feng family had been secretly operating for many years finally surfaced.
Empress Feng was jealous and hateful, killed Prince Zhaoxu, and used Princess Yuling's life to blackmail Concubine Xian to take mad medicine, and it was difficult to debunk it.
But now, the emperor has been slow to act.
"I always thought you were a smart boy," the emperor became more and more old after several blows, and spoke lightly leaning on the bright yellow cushion, "Why did you do something stupid now, the queen deserves death, but if she is dethroned, your origin ......"
Qin Shao bowed his head: "My father is wise, so naturally I don't care if I am the son of the 'abolished queen'." ”
"I don't care, what about the people of the world? What about the thousands of mouths in the future? The emperor pounded the bed twice, as if he had more than enough strength to do so.
"Erchen is not afraid." Qin Shaotan was frank.
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "You are not afraid? You are the heir of the succession, and there will be thousands of mouths to criticize you when you ascend the throne in the future, are you not afraid? ”
"The sons are not afraid, because the sons have a clear conscience, and the sons are not afraid, because the sons believe that the father wants to know the truth." Qin Shao's words seemed to hit the tip of the emperor's heart.
His son, the Zhaoxu he had great hopes for.
How could he not want to know the truth.
The emperor waved his hand dejectedly and asked Qin Shao to retreat.
Zhou Fu closed the door of the palace, and a person walked out from behind the screen behind the emperor.
"Fourth, you say, who should I believe?"
King De opened his mouth, leaned in front of the emperor, and pulled out the fold he had hidden under the pillow and put it into his arms.
The emperor glared at him: "How can you do such a thing?" ”
King De blinked innocently, gesturing and gesturing, and Zhou Fu glanced at the emperor worriedly, not daring to translate.
"Say."
The prince said...... The prince said that he would not have done anything. Zhou Fu pinched his sweat, and King De dared to return to His Majesty's errand like this.
The emperor stretched out his hand, Zhou Fu stepped forward to take back the fold and handed it over, and the emperor turned his face even more ugly: "You say, could it be the poison that Feng instructed people to mix in with the Rong family's caravan to buy?" ”
King De nodded busily, as if he had not written this excerpt that the caravan that went to South Vietnam to buy poison belonged to the Rong family.
The emperor was so angry that he couldn't say anything, and began to wave his hand again, but he didn't let King De take it back.
"Summoning Rong Su." The emperor ordered.
Rong Su seemed to have been prepared, and entered the hall to bow: "The prince chose the daughter of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Su Shi, and Miss Shu Han as the side concubines, and they will be hired together with the county lord of Shanyang." ”
This matter was prepared, the portrait of the daughter of the Zhongqing family was presented, and Qin Shao chose the daughter of the Su family alone.
"Taijoji?" The emperor was not impressed by this Lord Su, but the prince's choice of such a side concubine was a little unexpected to him, "Is this really not for the sake of the great cause, or is it worried that I am suspicious of the prince?" ”
Rong Su hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Highness is loyal and filial-"
"Pure filial piety can be counted, loyalty?" The emperor smiled weakly and nodded at Rong Su: "He is more like Rong Kaitong's son than you." ”
Rong Su trembled and kowtowed: "The minister is afraid." ”
"What are you afraid of? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are saying that King Rong is domineering, relying on my trust to form a party and do whatever he wants, but why do I let him? The Emperor asked rhetorically.
Rong Su felt a chill down his spine, and he didn't know why the emperor suddenly told him this.
"Because he does what I want to do but don't dare to do."
Rong Su looked up in shock.
"Why, you think you're an emperor...... Ahem, when you become an emperor, you dare to do anything? The emperor waved his hand, "The courtiers I hate can't be degraded at will, and the corruption I want to investigate is worried that it will affect my whole body, I ...... cough I want to use soldiers to increase the endowment, but I am afraid of the saliva of the people in the world, these things and these infamy, someone must carry it for me. ”
The emperor smiled a little softly: "Your father, that's what I told back then. ”
Rong Su knocked his head on the ground and did not get up for a long time.
"You still don't understand what I mean?" The emperor frowned, Rong Su was not such a stupid person.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty if you are suspicious of my father?" Rong Su knocked his head on the ground and didn't raise it, and he also felt the emperor's terrifying coldness, "You are presumptuous!" ”
"Your Majesty wants your ministers to be loyal and traitorous ministers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but to do what they should do but be as suspicious as their father, this is the duty of a minister." The emperor's face looked better, but Rong Su immediately said: "But Your Highness is not a cowardly person by nature, those who want to do what they should do, I'm afraid Your Highness will do it even if he fights for infamy, and he doesn't allow his beaks at all." ”
Emperor Longmu glared angrily: "Are you saying that I am weak by nature?!" ”
"Don't dare!!" Rong Su kowtowed in fear, and the emperor was so angry that he hit him with a tea bowl, and he suffered it all his life.
"Get out! Get out of here! ”
Rong Su took a body of tea and exited the hall in embarrassment.
In front of the door, he was bumping into Qin Shao.
This was somewhat unexpected.
"Why is Your Highness here?" Didn't you just go?
"Yanqiu Pass...... Military situation," Qin Shao muttered and raised the fold in his hand, but the vermilion paint in front of him became more and more blurry, as if something hot had blurred his eyes.
Is this the truth?
...... year Did the emperor also tell Rong Su that?
The reason why he became a generation of traitors turned out to be like this?
Rong Su didn't notice Qin Shao's abnormality, and Wu Zi picked off the tea leaves on his shoulder, thinking that he was still a little embarrassed by what he said to His Majesty just now, so he simply didn't look at Qin Shao, but only bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, please." ”
Qin Shao did not move.
Rong Su lowered his head and looked at the floor tiles with some doubts, out of etiquette, the prince did not move, and he did not dare to retreat first.
"Your ......" He was stunned the moment he looked up, and couldn't help blinking his eyes fiercely, and a crystal water bead like a meteor rolled down the prince's cheek and smashed on the floor tiles, His Highness cried?
Rong Su subconsciously lowered his head, wanting to confirm whether there were any water marks on the floor tiles, but Qin Shao had already stepped forward and stepped on the original position.
"If I'm weak by nature, are you going to be a generation of traitors?"
Rong Su came back to his senses, looked up at Qin Shao and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth: "Your Highness is not weak. ”
Qin Shao's teeth were sore, his eyes and mouth were instantly filled with liquid, and the fold in his hand was even more viciously thrown into Rong Su's arms, but the person turned his head and ran in the opposite direction.
"Your Highness?" Rong Su called out in a daze, completely unaware of what was happening.
But when he looked down, a small trace of wet gray on the floor tiles was fading.
Your Highness really ...... Crying?
Rong Su smiled bitterly, this is really unintentionally inserted into the willows.
He tried his best to make Qin Shao really trust him, today was just an accident, but His Highness was moved to tears.
Rong Sudi's eyes lit up.
Is there a drama about listening to the clouds??
"Lord Rong," Zhou Fu shouted behind him again, "Your Majesty has called you in." ”
Rong Su quickly sorted out his emotions and hid his joy, he couldn't think about women in his mind when he was sage, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.
The emperor glanced at him, and had already heard a report about what happened outside, and he could only sigh that Rong Su was lucky, but now he had planted the trust between the monarch and the minister, and he didn't think it would be much worse than the friendship between him and Rong Kai back then.
"I've helped you a lot this time."
Rong Su kowtowed and handed the fold: "It's all Your Majesty's favor." ”
The emperor took the fold and swept his eyes, frowning in annoyance, but still decided to deal with Qin Shao's side first: "Then you have to handle the other matter for me." ”
Rong Su's face froze, and he had a faint bad premonition: "Your Majesty is saying...... Concubine Shuhan? ”
"What side concubine," the emperor smiled contemptuously, "such a shameless woman who is bent on camping must be a disaster if she stays by the prince's side." ”
Rong Su did not object.
"I heard that you also wanted to help the prince solve her? Now, here's your chance. ”
