Chapter 30: The Last Four Guards
A rare good weather, the autumn is high and cool, the sun is shining, sweeping away the cold brought by the cold autumn, and the sun is very comfortable on the body.
The central imperial city of Shangqi City, as far as the eye can see, is the jade steps that extend each palace layer upon layer, carving and painting eaves fly every piece of rubble, three steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the guard is strict.
The tall and majestic Yuyu Palace, in addition to the guards who did their duty, is the people who have lived in this city for generations, and they are the kings and their families who dominate the Yu Kingdom.
It may be that because the temple is made of cold stones, the people who live in it lack a warm heart, so after living in the empty temple for a long time, the heart will also become cold.
Yu Haoxuan looked at the scorching sun above his head from afar, and his whole person was bathed in the sun, but why, couldn't such a scorching sun warm his heart?
The door of the Minghua Hall slowly opened, and the attendants beside the emperor came out, came to his side, greeted him respectfully, and then said, "The emperor let His Highness in." ”
Yu Haoxuan nodded, did not speak, and stepped into the Minghua Palace.
The chamberlain retreated to the door and guarded, not following up.
The huge palace, you can hear your footsteps when you walk inside, echoing in the empty hall for a long time.
Yu Haoxuan came to the inner hall, Emperor Yu, who was sitting at the desk with the backlight and gave official documents, did not stop the pen in his hand because of his arrival, looking at the indifferent Emperor Yu, Yu Haoxuan's face showed loss, but this loss came and went faster.
Yu Haoxuan saluted and said, "The son sees his father." ”
"Get up, come and see me so early, what's the matter?" Emperor Yu put pen to paper, didn't even look up at him, and said lightly.
"Erchen has found the murderer of Xiao Wubo, and he has come to report the situation to his father."
The hand that reviewed the fold fell in Yu Haoxuan's eyes, and he suddenly felt sullen in his heart, as long as it was related to Yu Yi, his father would care.
Emperor Yu put down his pen, crossed his hands on the table, looked at Yu Haoxuan with blazing eyes, his face was calm and did not show the slightest emotion, "I have heard about this matter, I killed Xiao Wubo one day, is there any evidence?" ”
"Erchen found the Tianyang Order of the day in the place where Xiaowubo was killed, but the officers and soldiers who handled the case did not find it at that time, probably because of the relationship between the Tianyang Order and the crack in the wall, and Erchen also searched nearby for several days to find this physical evidence. Moreover, on the day Xiao Wubo was killed, he appeared there one day, and he couldn't answer the reason why he went there, although he didn't admit to the killing, but he didn't deny it. At present, Liu Lie is under trial, and a further investigation is being conducted, and it is believed that it will soon be revealed. ”
Listening to his words, Emperor Yu nodded understandingly, and did not get angry because Yu Haoxuan moved the people around the prince, nor did he help him excuse him because the prince was a human being one day.
"I have already handed over this matter to you to deal with with with it all, if the evidence is conclusive, it is found that it is indeed the killing of Xiao Wubo in one day, whether it is killed or killed is dealt with in accordance with the criminal law, and others will not have any objections. As for the prince's side, communicate with him well, he still understands the importance of right and wrong. ”
"The retainers obeyed."
Yu Haoxuan didn't leave in a hurry after returning to the matter, and Emperor Yu's inquiring gaze motioned for him to say the following.
"Isn't my father angry?" Yu Haoxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Erchen has been arrested for a day, although he is the fourth guard next to the prince, they are all your people. Now, the son is arrested and imprisoned for a day, isn't the father angry with the son? ”
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone a small guard." Emperor Yu looked indifferently and couldn't grasp his true thoughts, but the words he said were ruthless, "I said, if the evidence is conclusive, what should I do, don't worry about me." However, if one day is wronged, Xuan'er is your dereliction of duty, and when the time comes, I will not show mercy to my subordinates, understand? ”
The last few words have already accentuated the tone.
Yu Haoxuan lowered his head, hid the sarcasm in his eyes, and said: "Erchen respectfully obeys the teachings of his father, and will never let go of the bad people who do a lot of evil. ”
He believes that even if he doesn't kill for a day, someone will let him kill someone, and he won't be able to escape for a day!
There was a long silence······
They were father and son, yet there was nothing to say; They are monarchs and ministers, and what they talk about is about government affairs, and they still have nothing to say after they finish speaking.
It is said that he has won the trust of Emperor Yu and is the most beloved son of Emperor Yu, and Emperor Yu is very kind to him, and he has been asked about politics again and again to give him the opportunity to make contributions······
But only he understands how far he is from his father, an unbridgeable chasm, not the distance, but the heart at the end of the world!
Yu Haoxuan's heart welled up with an indescribable sadness, he didn't want to face this depression, so he said goodbye.
"Son's resignation!"
Emperor Yu nodded slightly, without saying a word, and watched him leave.
Until the footsteps of the main hall disappeared, Emperor Yu faded away from the majesty and calmness on his face, and gradually revealed a tired demeanor.
got up, came to the window, and looked at Fang Fei in the garden, but Emperor Yu could no longer see the color in his eyes. Because compared to the full garden Fangfei, his heart was already immersed in the ice cave, and the cold made him tremble!
Finally, the last thing you want to see is fratricide, has this day come?
Emperor Yu understands that he was framed and imprisoned by them one day, how could Ah Yi's temperament sit idly by? What will Ah Yi do? He is not worried that he will suffer, but he is afraid that he will not be able to restrain his out-of-control reason and do more wrong things!
Xuan'er didn't understand what a day meant to Ah Yi, eradicating the four guards was to remove his right-hand man? If they really see things as simple as that, they are very wrong······
He didn't mean to snub Haoxuan, but he didn't know how to treat him well? Because, as long as he thinks of Yu Yi, he can't help himself guiltily, and he can't even be nice to Haoxuan.
As their father, Emperor Yu, admits that he has really failed.
Alas!
After a long time, his heavy sigh was heard in the hall.
"Will you be able to protect him?"
"After these things, Nian Zhenggang couldn't guess who was making trouble, the general of twenty years did it in vain, and today he started to deal with it for a day, starting from the people around Ah Yi, it seems that he is ready to do it. In the past, Nian Zhenggang led troops to guard the border, but he failed to move him in order to take care of the overall situation. Now, although Nian Zhenggang has left the barracks, he has a place in the court, and controls more than half of the military power of Yu State, and his power has increased instead of decreasing. ”
The maids are all serving in the outer hall, and only the close attendants in the inner hall serve Emperor Yu on weekdays, and at this moment, Emperor Yu expressed his worries in the face of the palace where he was alone.
In fact, there has always been a person in the inner hall, and Emperor Yu said it to him.
"I want him to die, but I don't want Ah Yi to put his life at risk. Five nights, can you stop him? If not, what should he do? ”
Behind the bright yellow curtain next to the desk, a deep-clothed guard holding a long sword walked out, sharing the emperor's worries is the minimum criterion for being a slave, but he is different.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and the tone of his voice is slightly raised, and it can be heard that he is very confident in himself.
Moreover, this is a proud fellow, not many people outside know that he is the fourth guard five nights, and he is also too lazy to admit his identity.
"Ah Yi, I'll leave it to you." Emperor Yu said.
I can only ask them, because he can't do anything.
Just like fifteen years ago, they couldn't protect her, and now, even their son couldn't protect them?
