Chapter 44: Exile

What's going on here? Wasn't it okay just now? Miao Li glanced at Zhou Shuxuan worriedly, and found that he didn't have much expression, and the matter might not be big.

Zhou Shuxuan slowly raised his head, looked at the emperor and said: "Erchen hopes that the country will be like today tomorrow, the people will be peaceful and happy, and the world will be clear." ”

A few words made the emperor speechless, if he blamed Zhou Shuxuan for this, he would really be a faint king who was spurned by the world.

The emperor sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly. He did the same evil as Dingguo Gong, and gave birth to so many sons, if he had only one child, he would not have faced these problems. waved his hand and asked Miaoli at the door to withdraw, he wanted to have a good chat with Zhou Shuxuan.

There were only two people left in the palace, father and son, and the emperor moved a stool to sit on Zhou Shuxuan, wanting to be closer to him.

"I read the excerpts from the south of the Yangtze River before, and said that the river embankment you repaired in June has not changed after a flood season. Judging from the current situation, the embankment can protect the people for at least a few decades. You see, as a prince, you can still serve the country and the people. ”

Zhou Shuxuan magnified his courage, "Father, my son is not afraid of death today, and I will say a heart-wrenching word to my father." Because his father is a Ming monarch, his son can be a prince who serves the country and the people. If it weren't for his father, I'm afraid his sons wouldn't even be able to do it. The sons are not for anything else, but to live. ”

The emperor nodded, "I know what you're worried about, as long as you're willing to help protect the prince, I'll give you a gold medal to avoid death, so that there is no knife in the world to kill you." ”

The gold medal for avoiding death or something is a lie, Zhou Shuxuan laughed disdainfully, and said: "Father, the emperor has no scruples and no reason to kill people. Today, the father can tolerate the repeated crimes of his sons, because the father does not want to bear the infamy of killing his son, and it will be different if he is replaced by someone else. ”

The emperor made it clear and said: "So, no matter how I persuade you, do you want to help you become the crown prince?" ”

Since it was useless for him to persuade him, then don't blame him for being ruthless. He couldn't help the prince, and he couldn't make him a threat to the prince, so he could only send him far away from the capital.

Zhou Shuxuan also made it clear, "The crown prince is not a suitable candidate to inherit the unification, and the father knows it." There is a royal brother on the sons, and there is a royal brother below, and the father is still in his long days, so he can choose another successor. As long as he is not the second prince, his son is willing to be a minister. ”

As long as he is not the prince, he can say a few words, at least without worrying about his own life.

If the emperor wants to change the heir, there is no need to talk nonsense with him here.

The emperor stood up from his seat and stood with his hands behind his back, "I have already chosen a fief for you, and after the New Year, I will go to Taimiao to worship my ancestors, and you will go to Qiongzhou." Without the forgiveness of the Son of Heaven, he will never be allowed to enter Beijing. A hundred years later, if you kowtow in the direction of the capital, it will be the end of our father-son friendship. ”

said a passage very decisively, and after speaking, the emperor left without looking back, without giving Zhou Shuxuan any chance to speak.

"Huh!" Zhou Shuxuan sneered, he was now in the house, but he could feel the heavy snow. In order to no longer let the crown prince be threatened, the emperor actually sent him to the ends of the earth, and let him never enter Beijing. He is not allowed to be filial piety in front of the grave, and he really doesn't want to have his son.

Today is the emperor's best day for him since he can remember, and he is more or less happy in his heart.

didn't expect God to be joking with him, this time he thought it was a late father's love, but it turned out to be just a return to the past.

The emperor left Qingquan Palace all the way back to Qinzheng Palace, asked the eunuch to prepare things, and wrote a posthumous decree by hand.

"Concubine Li, who served the Queen Mother during her lifetime, was filial piety, and Wen Gong was famous. He also had a meritorious child, and was posthumously named the imperial concubine, nicknamed Huixian. ”

After the emperor finished writing, he stared at this holy decree for a long time, and finally called Gonggong Fu to come in.

"Put it away."

Gonggong Fu glanced at the holy decree, this is a great thing. He had received the favor of Concubine Liang before, and he was really happy for Concubine Liang, so he asked a lot, "Your Majesty, don't you pass on the decree?" ”

The emperor glared back at him, "I have my own opinions, when will it be your turn to talk more?" ”

Father-in-law Fu didn't dare to say much, and put things away in a proper manner.

"I'm tired, I want to rest for a while, and no one is allowed to disturb me." The emperor has a terrible headache now, and it is not easy for him to do this.

"The minions obey."

Gonggong Fu received the holy decree, and he couldn't stop being happy in his heart. Close the door for the emperor and guard outside, with a warm smile on his face.

The little eunuch saw that he was so happy, and came over and asked, "Master, what is so happy?" ”

Gonggong Fu naturally said: "His Royal Highness King Qin's days are getting more and more hopeful. ”

The little eunuch paid attention to it, laughed twice with him, and asked, "How does the master know that His Highness's days are getting more and more hopeful?" ”

"You don't know, I went in and saw ...... just now" Father-in-law Fu knew that he was speechless, so he didn't say anything, and his voice changed, "I can't talk to you more, it's a great thing anyway." ”

In Qingquan Palace, Zhou Shuxuan didn't call anyone in for a long time. The emperor's face was not very good when he left, and Miao Li was worried in her heart, so she went in by herself.

When she arrived at the scene in the hall, she was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to Zhou Shuxuan, but how did it become like this in a while?

Zhou Shuxuan's whole portrait was drained of spirit, like a puppet with no string sitting in a wheelchair in a daze, his eyes lost his former brilliance, and his momentum was much weaker.

"Lord Wang?" Miao Li shouted nervously, but there was no response.

Miao Li stretched out her hand and gently pushed him, and shouted, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" Do you want to call a doctor? ”

Still no answer.

Miao Li stood up violently and wanted to go out to find the imperial doctor. Zhou Shuxuan grabbed her wrist and said weakly, "Come back." ”

The person finally lived, Miao Li turned her head back, half-squatted in front of his wheelchair, and asked anxiously: "Lord Wang, what happened?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan's face did not change and said: "It's not a big deal, the emperor just asked me to go to my fiefdom after the New Year." And without the forgiveness of the Son of Heaven, he will never be allowed to enter Beijing. ”

That means that the emperor expelled him from the capital, and everything that happened in the imperial city in the future has nothing to do with him. This news is really unacceptable.

Miao Li could only try to choose the best one to comfort him, "It's not bad to go to Chang'an, the prince wants to open some." ”

Zhou Shuxuan laughed three times at the sky, gritted his teeth and said, "What are you going to Chang'an?" He asked me to go to Qiongzhou, let me go to the ends of the earth, it is better to kill me directly. ”

How can it be? Zhou Shuxuan is the king of Qin, how can the fief be in Qiongzhou? Miaoli asked in disbelief: "Did the emperor make a mistake?" ”

Zhou Shuxuan may have been hit too hard, and said quite excitedly: "When has he ever been confused about this kind of thing?" He knew in his heart that he wanted me to die in that remote place. My fief of the King of Qin is actually in Qiongzhou, which is really the biggest joke in the world. ”

"Then what will the prince do in the future? Is that really the case? ”

Zhou Shuxuan covered his forehead, exuding a thick sense of helplessness, "What else can you do if you don't do this?" He is the king, and I am the minister. He is the Father, and I am the Son. Do you still want to be a disobedient and unfilial person who resists and disobeys the will? ”

Miao Li was unwilling to accept this fact, obviously there was still a lot of hope before entering the palace. I hadn't managed to spend a night here, and everything was in a desperate situation. All the emperor's performance just now was just an illusion, which made her think too much.

Miao Li asked, "Do you want to go to the eldest princess?" She may have a solution. In this situation, Miaoli can only come up with this method that is not a solution.

Zhou Shuxuan shook his head, "No need, the emperor is determined to do this, and she has nothing to do, it will only affect her." ”

The last time the eldest princess was able to save him, it was because the emperor wanted to kill him. The eldest princess saved him for the emperor's first fame. But this time it was different, the emperor just asked him to go to the fiefdom. Because he was not satisfied with the fiefdom, he made a big fuss in front of the emperor, which is really unreasonable.

"Lord Wang, the slave can't persuade you to open it a little, because the slave and the maid can't think about it themselves. The slave really couldn't understand why the emperor did this? ”

Zhou Shuxuan laughed contemptuously, "What else can be the reason?" The old eyes are dizzy. Think of a lump of grass as a treasure. He certainly didn't think about what the crown prince would do to the country after he died. I don't know if the emperor has the face to stand in front of his ancestors, the world that Taizu worked so hard to fight is so ruined! ”

He doesn't speak so politely now, he just wants to vent the resentment in his heart. He is going to live with Guanyin Bodhisattva, so why do you care about the big rebellion?

Miaoli is now squatting beside him, and she is also angry, the emperor is really confused. She really wanted to scold the emperor, and thought he was a kind and dry old man, but she didn't expect to be so decisive.

The so-called entering the palace for the New Year is just a Hongmen banquet.

Zhou Shuxuan suddenly asked him, "What about you?" What are your options? ”

Following him will definitely not be able to avenge her family, if she chooses to leave him, Zhou Shuxuan will not say anything.

Miao Li asked him blankly, "What is the slave?" ”

"Aren't you going for revenge? Or you can follow the eldest princess and say that you may not be able to borrow the hand of King Qi to avenge your family. ”

Miao Li didn't answer him directly, but said: "There were also people from the slave family who were exiled to Qiongzhou back then, and this time I may be able to reunite with my family with the prince." ”

She chose to follow him, and said at the time that if Zhou Shuxuan did not succeed, she could be martyred. I'm not afraid of death, let alone anything else.

Zhou Shuxuan laughed from the bottom of his heart, just like he and the eldest princess said that day, he really raised a good girl. In a better mood, he asked her, "What about your hatred?" Don't report it? ”

The kind of hatred that goes into her bones, it's impossible for her not to repay it. Miao Li clenched her fists and said, "You must report it, the slaves and maids will not let go of the prince." After the prince settled down in Qiongzhou, the slave and maid rushed back to the capital, avenged the revenge of the year and went to the prince again. ”

Zhou Shuxuan was really amused by her, and it was not too troublesome to run around. I always thought she was a cold beauty, but I didn't expect her to be so cute.

It was already completely dark, and in the Qinzheng Palace, a little eunuch looked left and right sneakily, after making sure that no one around was looking at him. Sticking to the root of the wall, he walked cautiously in the direction of the East Palace.
