has said this, Jin Rong naturally knows that Emperor Lao Tzu is telling him: Lao Tzu has already guessed the beginning and end of this matter.

The problem is that this kind of rhetoric doesn't seem to be suitable for confessing everything, it will seem very abrupt and faceless.

Jinrong looked at the emperor a little tangled: "Father, if you have anything to say, just give it a direct order." The sons were very unsure of what their father meant. "Your old man just wants his son to confess, and he will give him a step to confess.

This, nothing, he was so frightened that he told everything and everything, and it was too faceless. It was as if his bones were soft.

Damn! This kid, when he is slippery, he is slippery, and when he is direct, he is still slippery, and at this time, he is still thinking carefully.

The emperor scolded secretly in his heart, but his words were very harsh, and said: "Jiang Yifan is not going to die!" As an official of the imperial court, he worked hard for you as a prince, and he was even more dedicated than doing things for me. What is he trying to do? ”

This, he, the emperor Laozi, really has two brushes, what does this mean, did Jiang Yifan encourage the prince to rebel? It's just deadly.

Jinrong muttered in his heart, and hurriedly got up from the chair that no one had sat on today, and knelt on the ground: "Father forgives the sins, the son thinks that if this matter goes through normal channels, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get hold of the account books." Moreover, the account books fell into the hands of his father in a silent situation, and it was difficult for the prince to be alerted. This was all Erchen's idea, and Erchen was willing to accept the punishment of the imperial court. Jiang Yifan didn't mean anything else, he was just a close friend of Erchen, that's all. ”

"Is that all?" The Emperor asked rhetorically, full of emotion and loss, "You have all grown up, and you have your own thoughts. Jinkun was smart when he was young, and the more he grew up, the more extravagant he became. Your seventh brother has been ambitious since he was a child, and he originally thought you were an indifferent ...... I, as a father, really have a problem with my son's eyesight. ”

The emperor's tone was full of amazement, and the expression on his face was also very deep, as if he was recalling something.

Jinrong still knelt in front of him in an orderly manner, but in the eyes of the emperor, he was extremely dazzling.

In the past, in his imperial study, he summoned courtiers on a small scale, and the atmosphere was the most harmonious, and there were few such scenes of kneeling on the ground at every turn.

But at the beginning of this year, the courtiers and his sons had fewer and fewer opportunities to stand here, and most of them knelt and talked. Even Jinrong, who has always been casual, now took the initiative to kneel.

This kind of scene can be said to be in awe of the emperor's majesty. But the emperor would rather not enjoy this majesty.

"Get up and talk back." The Emperor's tone was cold.

Jinrong stood up, feeling the hardness of the two account books in his arms, and guessed in his heart that his father was probably going to ask the prince what was going on yesterday, right?

The emperor spoke: "Last night, two groups of thieves wanted to enter the prince's mansion with the intention of stealing. The emperor looked at Jinrong, and he really didn't bother to make any more temptations and speculations, "After today's incident in the household department, the prince rushed back to the house, and then came to me here to confess his guilt." What did you take from the Prince's Mansion? ”

Jin Rong glanced at the emperor, although he thought that the emperor would ask the prince about the matter of last night, but he didn't expect the question to be so direct.

had already planned something for a long time, so Jinrong did not hesitate, took out the account book from his arms and presented it, "This is the account book of the prince's mansion." ”

The two account books of the household department had already given the emperor enough impact, and he was no longer in a hurry to check the contents, so he only took the account books and put them aside, and asked casually: "When did you become interested in the throne?" ”

Another hammer!

Jinrong looked up at the emperor with a look of surprise on his face. The emperor's question was once again unexpected.

At this time, shouldn't the emperor first blame him for why his intentions were so sinister? Since he has mastered the illegal affairs of the crown prince, he should report to the emperor Lao Tzu in time, stop the theft of the treasury by the prince and the household department in time, and recover some losses for the imperial court. Instead of deliberately putting the prince in a desperate situation.

Moreover, when he came over today, he planned to tell the emperor the truth. They are all princes, everyone longs for this position, he is one of them, and it is not an exaggeration to save this heart.

Lao Qi has that ambitious face, hasn't he still been in the court for nearly ten years? If it weren't for the private iron ore and forced to retreat, I am afraid that he would still be in a fighting and powerful posture to fight with the prince.

So Jinrong really doesn't plan to hide it, and he also wants to fight for himself. At least for now, it seems that among the sons of the father, including those who are really unwilling and unable to participate, from any point of view, he is more likely than others to make the empire prosperous.

This should be the emperor's greatest wish.

But when the emperor asks such a question, how should he answer? If you tell the truth, you are very suspicious of denouncing the emperor.

At that time, he was young and not very sensible, and there was nothing wrong with him, just because the prince was the prince, he brought his mother and concubine out of favor. More than 20 years have passed, and in these years, the mother concubine was able to meet the emperor in public only by virtue of her rank. As for staying overnight, it's impossible.

In this case, if you want to live in the harem, the mother concubine has to be extremely cautious and carefully deal with all kinds of people and forces in the harem.

That is, when he grew up later, he was able to show his face in front of the emperor, and his mother had a little dignity in the harem.

But this kind of dignity is so short-lived, even if he doesn't fight for the throne, whether the crown prince or King Fu succeeds to the throne, he, a brother with great financial resources, is afraid that it will make the emperor sleep uncomfortably, and he wants to get rid of him quickly.

"Father still remembers, when Erchen was young, Erchen's mother was very favored." Jinrong said.

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then vaguely remembered that Concubine Liang was not promoted to the rank by virtue of her son after giving birth to the prince, but before that, she won the sacred heart.

The good concubine at that time...... It seems to be very young and delicate, and has a fresh temperament......

"What do you want to say?" The Emperor was a little surprised. This was more than 20 years ago, why did Jinrong mention it at this time? The palace is a place where power alternates, and the rotation of favor in the harem is even more frequent, isn't it common?

"Father, do you remember how the mother fell out of favor?" Jinrong looked at the emperor and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's been so many years, I think my father must not remember." ”

As a woman who loves her father and emperor deeply, how sad her mother is. After so many years, the mother concubine can still remember the bits and pieces of being with her father more than 20 years ago, or even 30 years ago.

And the father, if he hadn't mentioned it today, I was afraid that even if the father saw the mother, he wouldn't have remembered anything about the mother's concubine before, and he wouldn't even remember that he had a good past with his mother.

The Emperor did not remember. It is also common for new people to replace old people, not to mention in the palace, it is an ordinary rich and noble family.

"The mother fell out of favor, not because of a newcomer in the palace, but because the son collided with the prince, causing the mother to be grounded for three months. At that time, the ministers were young, and because of the favor of their mother, they didn't care much about the rules in the palace...... "Not seeing each other for three months is enough for the emperor to leave his mother behind."
