Chapter 7: Qiqu

The sky was gray and bright, Sheng Jia'an was ready to go to Chang'an, he thought about it for a night and decided to go to Chang'an first. Find another opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the family.

To say that this imperial city is also turbulent, since the prince knew that what he had done was exposed, he became more high-profile, and even went to court, as if a child deliberately attracted his father's attention. And Emperor Yu was even more strange, no longer asking about the prince, and the Xu guards on the side were a little confused, "Your Majesty, if you continue like this." The prince's rebellion will be well known. Emperor Yu ignored it. Xu Huwei shouted again, "Your Majesty? I felt that it was wrong, and immediately patted Emperor Yu, "Father-in-law, come here, father-in-law, the emperor has fallen asleep." ”

In an instant, the princes, concubines and palace maids were all waiting outside Emperor Yu's bedroom, some were hard and some were sweet, each with their own thoughts.

"Xu Guard!" Emperor Yu finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are here!"

"Go! Call the prince over. ”

The prince was not outside the house, and Xu Huwei quickly led all the royal forest troops to surround the prince's palace, "Prince, the minister is ordered to invite the prince to Yishou Palace." ”

"Got it, you go back first, I'll come"

"The minister wants to go back with the prince to restore his life"

"And what if I don't go?"

Xu Huwei pulled out his saber, and in an instant, all the royal forest soldiers pulled out their sabers, their movements were neat, and they didn't drag mud and water, and ordinary people could be scared out of the bile.

There were only a few people outside the house arranged by the prince, and they didn't dare to move, which didn't look like a person who wanted to rebel.

The door suddenly opened: "What is the matter with my father, the prince who is over fifty years old?" ”

"The prince will know when he goes!"

The prince in Yishou Palace stood in front of the bed, his eyes were very empty, without the slightest fear, Emperor Yu waved his hand and said that everyone should go out, "Xu Guard, you also go out"

"It's... Be! ”

The crown prince slowly bent down and looked at Emperor Yu, "What's wrong?" Isn't it fast? Also, I'm dying."

Emperor Yu didn't speak, just looked at the prince blankly, and the prince said again, "I'm very strange, why don't you arrest me, father?" The reason I gave myself was that you wanted to save face, and I just couldn't stand the toss" The prince simply sat down, "Father, tell me, why just put some evidence on my desk, I really thought about it for a long time"

"Why don't you run?" Emperor Yu finally spoke.

"You have great-grandsons," the prince suddenly yelled at Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu was frightened and coughed desperately, and the Xu guards broke into the door, "You guys go out, let me out" Emperor Yu said with difficulty. The others had to obediently close the door again.

The crown prince continued, "It's been ten years, no, it's been thirty years, father, I started to share my father's worries for you at the age of twenty, I had enough of it ten years ago, and then I found out with the Ming and Qing dynasties the edict you pressed under the dragon chair, do you say it's a coincidence?" In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he was timid since he was a child, and I took care of him as an elder brother, but since then he didn't even dare to look at me, and now he has run outside the palace. I really don't understand, what the hell are you for? Something I'm not doing well, you're going to tease me like that! ”

"Filial piety"

"Don't Call Me"

"Xiao'er, you must ask your subordinates not to send troops, you listen to the widow tell you"

"The whole imperial city knows about your illness, and the subordinates really have brains to do things, as well as the harem, I'm afraid you don't know how nervous they are about you"

"I know, I want to tell you about you"

"Father, I'm really tired, I've been rebelling for ten years, I'm getting more and more tired, I won't send troops, and those fattened wolves won't agree. Give me the throne, I can make them dare not mess around. The prince stood up excitedly, "I don't know what happened to me? I am afraid of you and I hate you. ”

"Xiao'er, filial piety, my father once did something for the emperor's grandfather"

"Something to do with me?" The crown prince was already shaking with excitement.

"Grandpa Huang was... once did a foolish thing, and my father also participated, and that night, my father married his first concubine."

"My mother?"

"Yes, it's Empress Jingxuan, that night, your imperial grandfather was happy, he drank a lot of wine" Emperor Yu's tone slowly calmed down, "Your imperial grandfather was drunk, and returned to the palace, and the personal palace maid served your imperial grandfather when he went to bed, but he had a relationship, your imperial grandfather is a very face-loving person, of course it is not allowed to say it, and then the palace maid was secretly imprisoned, and a few months later, your imperial grandfather found out that she was pregnant with a dragon species, what is the face of this spread, the original palace maid was going to be executed, But at that time, the queen mother knew about it, Jing Xuan happened to be pregnant with a child, and she felt that killing the dragon seed would make a mistake, and you were not allowed to kill the palace maid, and time flew by. Seeing that the palace maid was about to give birth, and Jing Xuan also happened to be about to give birth, so that night, the child born by the palace maid was secretly sent to Jing Xuan's delivery room..."

"Don't say it" The more the prince listened, the more uncomfortable he became, he seemed to know the end of the matter, and muttered, "Is it me or Ming Qing?" ”

Emperor Yu was a little unbearable, but he still said "It's you"

The crown prince lifted Emperor Yu's collar, angry, humiliated, and unwilling to occupy his body, making his whole body tremble, "Then why do you still want me to be my brother and make me the prince."

"Because I am ashamed of you, you are too good, and the Ming and Qing dynasties rely too much on your brother, how can I not stand when the prince is established" Emperor Yu said that the voice behind him was close to silence.

"So I don't deserve to sit on this throne, do I? Because my blood is not clean? ”

Emperor Yu didn't speak, and both of them were silent for a long time, and the prince "What about her?" ”

"I'll ask you what about her, !! the palace maid"

"After you were born, she was given death!" After Emperor Yu finished speaking, he began to cough, and the prince grimaced, "Uh!! The prince's wailing and the emperor's coughing kept coming from the room, but no one dared to enter.

Suddenly, the emperor's coughing stopped. The crown prince, who noticed the abnormality, looked at the person in front of him in a daze, "Father~"

"Father~Father? Father's !! Doctor, get in here, Doctor"

As soon as the door opened, a group of old men rushed in instantly, and the cry sounded again, seeing that some people were about to enter the house, the royal guards instantly showed half of their weapons.

The prince walked to the door tremblingly and glanced at the guard, "What?" Don't stop me? ”

"The king has a commandment, that if there is any case, no one shall touch thee, and..."

"And what?"

"Let Me Protect You"

The prince didn't have any expression after listening, his mind was full of memories of the conversation just now, and he walked in despair, and several princes surrounded him to ask about the situation, but he couldn't listen, "Get out of me." I stumbled and didn't know how long I walked, and found myself coming to the "Mountain High Academy".

"Instinct is coming," the prince muttered to himself, and knocked on the door.

When the door opened, a little doorman poked his head out with a broom, "Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for you mountain chiefs."

"I'll go and report it. Wait a minute."

The doorman quickly ran into a long distance, "Mountain chief, there is a person who looks like an official looking for you"

"What are you yelling about, continue to be a doorman for the next year, and you will not be allowed to attend classes. Haha"

"Mountain chief, I was wrong, go quickly, don't let the guests wait."

"Yo, I care about others" As soon as the door curtain opened, a middle-aged man walked out, and then walked straight to the gate, and looked at the two of them silently.

"Ming and Qing, the imperial brother has come to see you" The prince then spoke.

"Ahem, heh, it's the imperial brother, why are you here, come in and sit" This person is the second prince of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"I'm here to pick you up, my father has died." The prince said it simply.

Ming and Qing stumbled and almost didn't hold on to the wall, "Oh, okay, I'll clean it up." ”

"Hmm." The prince didn't say much.

Ming Qing walked back to the room, did not pack up his things, took out a pen and paper, thought about it in front of the table for a while, and then started writing.

After writing, he called the doorman again: "You take this letter, go out for a while, sweep the floor, and give it to the official, and you are not allowed to come in during this period." The doorman answered and went out.

The prince was in the courtyard, watching the doorman sweep the floor, I don't know why he was very calm, after knowing why Emperor Yu didn't pass on the throne to himself, he felt relieved, maybe he was really old, and he wanted to take Ming and Qing back when he had planned for ten years.

"Emperor Lao Yu took care of me very much, and finally asked me to decide who would sit in this position" At this moment, the prince wanted to take Ming Qing back, and asked him if he was willing to talk about the edict to the world, in fact, he knew in his heart that Ming and Qing would definitely let him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. The doorman in front of him swept the last leaf into the flower bed and took out a letter from his bosom: "This is what the mountain chief asked me to give you." ”

The prince's heart chuckled, "Why didn't you give it to me just now?" ”

"The chief of the mountain said, I'll give it to you after sweeping the ground."

After hearing this, the prince instantly rushed into Ming Qing's room, there was no one in the room, he ran back to the courtyard and took the envelope and opened it:

The courtier's brother whispered: Brother Huang, every time you put pen to paper, you don't know how to talk about it. Brother Huang! You and I have grown up since childhood, and we have gone through fifty years of spring and autumn. The people in the palace are weak, and everyone is self-reliant and self-protective, but the royal brother has taken good care of me since I was a child, so that I temporarily avoided the sinister hearts of people when I was young. I have been a role model for my brother since I was a child, and I am honored to be your brother in this life. Providence makes people, and an edict alienates you and me. I had no intention of being an enemy of the emperor's brother, if there was an afterlife, I only hoped that you and I would be born in an ordinary family, so that we would not have to take care of the danger of the monarch and ministers. In that case, I'm sure the two of us will be more in love than Jin. Today, I have heard that my father and emperor have collapsed, and my sadness is indescribable, but it is difficult to make a number of countries big, and there are countless forces in the country. The country can not be without a king for a day, the imperial brother must do everything to rule the world as soon as possible, now the bureaucracy is slack, the soldiers are outside, from the first emperor to start a business for a hundred years, the north has long been a herd of wolf dogs, the imperial brother will reorganize the heroic, the courtier is the biggest obstacle to your accession to the throne, today I will leave by myself. I don't know what to say, and I will be brothers in the next life!

After reading the letter, he was crumpled by the prince, and the fire in his heart couldn't hold back and roared out, "Ming Qing, where are you, bastard!" ”

Instantly lowered his head and pinched the doorman and said, "Let everyone in the academy find me Ming Qing."

"Your Excellency, you are so rude, there is still a class inside," the doorman wanted to stop the prince, but he didn't dare, so he said resignedly.

At this time, several gentlemen walked out, and just wanted to reprimand, when they saw the prince's costume tattooed with a dragon totem, they instantly ran over and knelt on the ground, "Grass people, see you, my lord"

"All of you go to find Ming and Qing for me, and you take my jade pendant to the yamen, and let them inform everyone to find out Ming and Qing for me" After speaking, he gave the jade pendant to the doorman, and rushed into Ming Qing's room again, looking for Ming and Qing from the open window along the way. Seeing the posture of the gentlemen, no one dared to disobey, everyone rushed out of the door, except for a child standing in the courtyard in a daze, he looked left and right, I don't know what to do? Suddenly, I found a paper ball and an envelope on the ground, and walked over to pick it up, "Who's it?" Who's it? The academy was empty, so he had to fold the letter paper and put it in the envelope, and then stuffed it into his arms and said in a milky voice, "Mr. said, the paper is a scholar's face, but it can't be dirty."

The imperial city was boiling instantly, everyone desperately looked for the second prince, on a hillside not far from the imperial city, Sheng Jia'an rested for a while and got up to finish the last section of Chang'an Road, patted the dust on his body and immediately got on the horse, walked not long to the woods outside the city, ready to go around the city to find the city gate, at this time he found a person hanging from the tree a few meters away, hurriedly ran to the tree, found that the person was dead, kind-hearted climbed to the tree and untied the rope tied to the tree, Although Sheng Jia'an already knew that this person was dead, he still kept shaking the corpse, "Brother Tai, Brother Tai",

Just as he was shaking, a team of officers and soldiers instantly surrounded him, and he immediately pushed away the corpse in a panic, and the leading officers and soldiers shouted in one direction, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the person has been found." Sheng Jia'an didn't dare to make a sound, but he was already trembling with fright. The prince walked out of the crowd, hugged the corpse and cried, and died in the Ming and Qing dynasties. To say that the most difficult thing to accept now is the prince and Sheng Jia'an, the prince suddenly fainted while crying, and Sheng Jia'an was naturally taken back by the officers and soldiers, although he shouted and broke his throat, who would take care of him.
