Chapter 260: The Battle of Trust

Chang Gon entered Beijing to sue the emperor, as if a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Up and down Luoyang, there was chaos. It even intensified the contradictions of the Dayan royal family in advance.

When the princess of King Xin heard that the private gold mine was related to the Yuguo Mansion, she immediately secretly asked people to arrange it, planning to blame Yang Qiqi for this matter, and pit Yang Qiqi fiercely.

When people are secretly arranging.

Li Yuanzhong has been convicted in the palace, and what Emperor Yonghui said to the outside world is that the rule of Yuguo is not strict, and the evil slaves are allowed to commit such heinous crimes. This matter, which caused Chang Gon to enter Beijing and vigorously sued the emperor, ended so easily.

In the eyes of those who have a heart, it is another kind of thinking.

"The emperor didn't deal with Duke Yuguo, and he didn't ask His Royal Highness the Seventh and Concubine Li Guifei. No matter how you look at it, it's not a good thing. Several staff members of the East Palace sat together to analyze the situation for the crown prince.

Murong Sheng frowned slightly, "It is clear that my father will not easily dispose of Duke Yuguo, Yang Fu's old puppet, and he has shirked this matter cleanly, there is no evidence, could it be that he really beheaded the whole family of Duke Yuguo?" ”

"Weichen is only afraid that the emperor is not unconscious in his heart, but he knows that he still protects Yu Guogong and Li Guifei, the Seventh Prince and others like this."

Murong Sheng smiled coldly, refuted the words of the staff member very disapprovingly, and said: "It is good for the seventh child to rely on Concubine Li Guifei with his back, but the bad is bad for his humble mother. Murong Sheng smiled, his expression becoming more and more full of contempt, "My father has ever taken him in his eyes since he was a child?" If this matter was hastily stopped, it was for the sake of Lao Qi, but Lone was not afraid at all. But if it's something else......"

"If the emperor investigates more and finds more, but he doesn't want to make a big deal about it, then I'm afraid that this fire will burn on His Highness's body sooner or later."

Murong Sheng also thought so, simply, he had already arranged everything. He immediately looked back at the staff member and said, "Write me an excerpt asking for sin, don't say too much, just let the emperor see my cowardice and cowardice." ”

"Your Highness, aren't you exposing yourself to the emperor like this?"

Murong Sheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Only by exposing myself can I make my father believe in me, and only then can this matter be eliminated forever." ”

Several staff members didn't say anything, and immediately went back together to help Murong Sheng think about how to write this letter of pleading.

At dusk the next day, the letter entered the palace. The next day, the crown prince, who had been in Chang'an for two years, was summoned to the palace by the emperor.

Before Murong Sheng entered the Guanfeng Palace, the person knelt outside the Guanfeng Hall first. Emperor Yonghui was receiving a military report from the Southern Liang and discussing political affairs with the five ministers of the cabinet. Emperor Yonghui discussed for more than half an hour, and the prince knelt outside for more than half an hour.

When these cabinet ministers came out of the temple of the wind, they saw the prince kneeling in the sun, his face flushed.

The little eunuch guarding the door said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty invites you to enter the door!" ”

Murong Sheng entered the door, knelt down and kowtowed directly to Emperor Yonghui, and cowardly pleaded: "Long live my father, long live, long live!" The son is guilty! ”

When Emperor Yonghui heard this, he directly slammed the letter written by the staff of the East Palace on Murong Sheng's head, and said angrily: "Who do you want to see!" Kneeling outside the Guanfeng Hall like this, who are you giving a grievance? ”

Murong Sheng fell to the ground tightly, and said continuously: "Erchen doesn't dare!" Father, son-in-law is just, son-in-law is just guilty, although the father has not punished son-in-law, but son-in-law himself can't get over it first. Erchen, it is difficult to escape the blame for death. ”

Emperor Yonghui's fingers trembled slightly, he stood up and said angrily: "Tell me about it, what do you mean by this in your letter?" What is the matter of the gold mine related to you, it is you who help and abuse. Could it be that you got through the servants of the Yuguo Mansion and did that bastard thing? Could it be that you still colluded with Yang Fu? ”

Murong Sheng shook his head desperately, and knocked his head twice, and the sound of his forehead holding on the marble floor was particularly harsh.

"How dare Erchen collude with Duke Yuguo! In fact, this gold mine was opened by King Xin in his early years. Murong Sheng opened his mouth tremblingly, his body trembling like chaff because of fear.

As soon as Emperor Yonghui heard the king, he obviously calmed down. In a solemn and low voice, he asked the prince, "The gold mine opened by King Xin?" ”

When Murong Sheng heard Emperor Yonghui's words, his heart sank, and he thought that his guess was correct. Emperor Yonghui had known it for a long time, and he had already noticed the relationship between King Xin and Qin Ling.

"Yes, it's a gold mine opened by the emperor's uncle. Uncle Huang not only opened a gold mine privately, but perhaps, also intended to rebel. Murong Sheng had already knelt straight at this time, carefully looking at Emperor Yonghui's expression. But he didn't see the slightest surprise in the eyes of Emperor Yonghui. That kind of expected look made him very worried.

"Tell me when and how you noticed it. Tell me how you noticed it. ”

Murong Sheng didn't dare to hide it, and replied in a frightened whisper: "The garrison of Qinling has some personal relations with the retainers in the Erchen Mansion. When he was a year old, Erchen inadvertently learned about the emperor's uncle's private gold mine. At that time, Erchen also sent someone to the palace to admonish and warn, but the emperor's uncle later threatened Erchen, saying that Erchen dared to tell you. Then he will tell you that it was his son who commanded him to do this. It was the retainer who wanted to rebel and wanted to ascend the throne as emperor in advance. Over the years, the father and the emperor were particularly honored and favored by the eleventh brother, and at that time, the sons were selfish, afraid that the father would believe the words of the emperor's uncle and abolish the princely position of the sons, so the sons did not dare to tell their fathers at all. But in the past two days, because the matter of opening a gold mine was discovered, Erchen began to fidget. First, I don't know how much this matter is involved, and second, I don't know what the emperor's uncle has planned. Moreover, two days ago, the retainers in the Erchen Mansion told the Erchen, saying that they had discovered the Qinling garrison and were suspected of making weapons privately. So ......"

The prince said that this matter was a matter of care, and he had already arranged the human and physical evidence, and he was not afraid of Emperor Yonghui's thorough investigation at all.

Emperor Yonghui's eyes were gloomy and gloomy, staring at Murong Sheng motionlessly.

Murong Sheng kowtowed again, and confessed in fear: "The son is guilty, the son is guilty!" From beginning to end, the sons were afraid that their father would abolish the princely position of the sons. Therefore, the sons were threatened by the king of faith. King Xin told his sons that the most favored person by his father was Jingxian and Guifei, and the most beloved prince was the eleventh brother. Therefore, the heart of the son and the villain is afraid that the father and the emperor will get a reason to depose the son from King Xin. It's the son's fault, the son's fault! ”

Emperor Yonghui never had the idea of deposing the crown prince. Murong Sheng is his first son, and the queen is his wife. When he welcomed Concubine Jingxian into the palace, he once reassured the queen. Moreover, Concubine Jingxian didn't want Murong Zhao to inherit the throne at all. He can't live with the queen's mother and son, and he can only give them enough honor.

Now that Murong Sheng is so cautious, Emperor Yonghui can't blame him anymore. He said it clearly, he was afraid. It can be seen that he is too negligent with this son, so that he is always afraid of being deposed by himself.

When Emperor Yonghui thought of this, he sighed often and said, "I can save it, prince, I will not depose you." You don't have to be so afraid, you are my first son, and no one can match your place in my heart. ”

When Murong Sheng heard this, he wiped tears from his eyes, kowtowed to Emperor Yonghui again and again, and called out in a choked voice, "Father."

Emperor Yonghui's expression was extremely old, "The first emperor only had two brothers. At the beginning of the dynasty, it was to lay down this great river and mountain side by side. My uncle used to treat me like a father and son, and the first time I pulled the bow back then, I was taught by the imperial uncle himself. But I also know that he does have a heart of disobedience......"

Murong Sheng's heart was relieved, and he became more and more confident. Even if he is in Chang'an, he can see that Emperor Yonghui has always placed King Xin's family in Luoyang, most of them are wary of them, and he intends to guard against them.

Emperor Yonghui waved his hand at Murong Sheng and said, "You stand down and go and see your queen mother." I have my own opinion on this matter. What we're saying here today, I don't want anyone else to hear. ”

Murong Sheng didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Yonghui and withdrew from the Wind Viewing Palace.

Subsequently, Emperor Yonghui summoned King Xin to the palace. The emperor withdrew everyone, and it is unknown what the uncle and nephew said in the Guanfeng Palace. I only know that Emperor Yonghui talked to King Xin for a long time, and it was not until the palace gate was about to be locked that King Xin came out of the palace.

Yang Qiqi didn't miss the news of this day. When Zhuzhi came to report that King Xin left the palace, she asked Takezhi nervously, "What was King Xin's expression when he left the palace?" Is it a calm face, or a solemn expression? ”

Yang Qiqi had already explained, so that the people who were watching him couldn't even miss King Xin's expression.

Hearing her ask, Zhuzhi immediately said, "It is said that King Xin came out of the palace, and it is like going to the grave." Have a long face. ”

Yang Qiqi breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "The Xinwang Mansion is finished, but I don't know if this matter will shake the prince." ”

"I heard that the prince knelt outside the Guanfeng Hall for more than half an hour, if the emperor has no intention of blaming him, he must have asked people to get up. Come to think of it, the emperor also knows in his heart, maybe the crown prince and the king will be finished together! ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head disapprerovingly, "If the two sides are finished together, they should see King Xin and the crown prince at the same time." No matter what the prince said or what the king said, I am afraid that in the emperor's heart, he will trust his son more. ”

While the master and servant were talking, the little girl guarding the door hurriedly came in and said, "Girl, the princess of the king is asking to see you outside." ”

When Zhuzhi heard that the princess of King Xin was coming, his face was full of deep hatred, "King Xin's mansion is going to be unlucky, what is she going to do?" ”
