Chapter 552: Father and Son

The second prince never knew that there was such a place in this forbidden palace.

It was pitch black, he could barely see his fingers, the doors and windows around him were tightly closed, there was no brazier brocade quilt, he felt that he was almost freezing, and his teeth were trembling and he couldn't close them.

He raised his cold hand and touched his swollen cheeks, even if it wasn't cold, his teeth couldn't be closed, because his teeth were knocked out by Min Weixiu.

That child, from childhood to adulthood, was as domineering as ever.

The second prince didn't know what emotions he should have, and he didn't know why he was thinking about this at this time.

The door creaked open, the eunuch entered the house and lit the lamp, and brought the brazier in, the north wind outside the door was howling, and occasionally a few firecrackers could be heard in the distance, the new year should have come.

Just a few hours ago, he was still sitting on the top of the main hall, drinking a little wine and listening to Daddy's tirade, and it was only a long time before he became a prisoner of the steps.

The official came to the door, and the eunuch bowed down and withdrew, closing the door gently.

"You already know it, don't you think it's ridiculous to watch me bounce?" The second prince raised his eyes and stared at the official family stubbornly.

The official sat down in front of the brazier, this place is not far from the door, once the rebel makes a move, he will definitely be able to be rescued.

"I was like nothing when you were mediocre everywhere, and I never thought that I would look away and think of the tiger with its claws hidden as a cat. I didn't think about it anymore, and I looked away again, but it was just a paper tiger that was worse than a cat. ”

The official family looked at the second prince and said lightly.

The second prince was completely enraged by his indifferent appearance, "What did you say!" ”

The official shook his head, "I am a hero, but I didn't expect that the sons born are more useless than the other. You keep saying that your eldest brother is a fool and a waste, why aren't you? ”

"Daddy is disappointed, it's not you who are rebelling. But the moment Yan Zhi came out of Dongyang Zhengdian, you should raise troops. But he was bewitched by him, and he was lucky, and missed the last opportunity. ”

The second prince was dumbfounded, and he asked suspiciously, "Daddy?" ”

The official sighed, "As a prince, you are not afraid of scheming and means, you are not afraid of ambition, you are afraid of half a bucket swinging." I want you to be the governor of Kaifeng, which is for you. Daddy has some words, which I have been holding in my heart for a long time, and today our father and son met for the last time, so I will talk openly and honestly. ”

"Daddy was poisoned in the tomb last time, and his body was already ruined by gold and jade, and the doctor said that he would not survive this spring. Even the edict of succession was written early in the morning. ”

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his bosom and gently threw it into the brazier.

The official said, turning the jade wrench in his hand, and his eyes became gloomy.

Coming out of the ancient tomb that day, although he found the imperial doctor in time, but the strange poison was difficult to solve, his body had been worse day by day, and he was barely able to hold on with some tiger and wolf medicine, which did not make people see.

After that, he had a total of three times, wanting to make the crown prince, and then abdicate to become the emperor.

For the first time, not long after the second prince became the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he was praised in everything, he was relieved, thinking that he could rest, but Jiang Yanzhi and Su Zhongcheng found out the Shilin case, and Chongwen Hall repeatedly had problems, so he had to hesitate;

The second time, Jiang Yanzhi went to Da Liao, the Shilin case was blurred, the second prince was widely praised, he thought about it, Jiang Yanzhi liked to solve the case, so let him judge the case, but he never thought that he made a great contribution in Da Liao......

At this time, the atmosphere in the court has become delicate, and it is not good for him to propose the establishment of a second prince at that juncture;

The third time, when the news of Jiang Yanzhi's death came, he had nothing to hesitate about. Originally, after burying him, he announced that the second prince would be the crown prince; But who would have thought that the boy would come back alive and that he would say something like that at the funeral.

That was definitely not a good time to make a second prince.

And then, there was no more then.

When the second prince saw it, he exclaimed, and then pounced, and hurriedly scooped up the half-burned edict from the brazier, and he looked at it fixedly, and howled and cried.

Dad, why didn't you make it clear earlier! You didn't say it before, why do you say it now!

In addition to making me heartbroken and regretting that I want to bang my head into a hole, what other benefits and evils does this have?

Do you know what you're talking about? You're talking about you fool, stay up for another spring, and you'll be the emperor! Why do you want to die by yourself!

The second prince cried so much that he couldn't breathe, and he cried until he began to hiccup, and then stopped.

"When did you collude with Zhao Li? Did you know that he was the crown prince of the previous dynasty? ”

"It was after Dongyang became seriously ill and was killed that he had no heir, he came to me and said that he wanted to help me and let me sit on the throne of the prince. I had hatred for Concubine Cai in my heart, so I agreed. I didn't know Zhao Li's true identity at first, but then I found out ......"

"Before that, although I had the heart to please the great Confucians of the Chongwen Pavilion, I knew that the great position was hopeless, and I didn't dare to make many moves."

"The Stone Forest bloomed much earlier than this. My mother's family is in decline, and although my aunt is a concubine in the palace, she is not pampered, and her money is very tight. After Huang Yishu joined me, he gave me a profit from the stone forest. Now that I think about it, Zhao Li and Dongyang have already calculated it. ”

"Huang Yishu knew them, maybe much earlier than me. After all, the transportation of goods in the stone forest relied on the operation of the martial arts alliance leader under Zhao Li. At the beginning, Huang Yishu made fake stones, only occasionally. But then ......"

The rebellion required a lot of money, and they got firearms drawings, and the stone forest did not sell fake stones, where was there so much money for them to squander.

At this point, the second prince has nothing to hide.

He thought for a moment, and then said, "After the eldest brother and Dongyang died, I became the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. Zhao Li came over again, wanting to take advantage of the Northern Expedition army not returning and rebelling, but I naturally disagreed. I was worried that he was going to assassinate me, so I found the Baiyun Dao Elder Protector......"

The crown prince fell, and the second prince was expected to inherit the unification, so he naturally wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, and prayed that the official family would not find out that he had a connection with Zhao Li. Zhao Li's identity is mysterious and mysterious, so the second prince found a more mysterious Baiyun Dao chief.

The official family frowned, "Zhao Li was killed by you who asked the Baiyun Dao Chief?" ”

The second prince was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't." I don't dare to mess with Zhao Li. I was frightened for a long time, and then followed Su Zhongcheng to Jiangnan, and when I came back, Zhao Li was already dead. ”

Not the second prince? Then how did Zhao Li's last life go? The official's brow furrowed even tighter.
