By the standards I know, this book is still early on the shelves, so don't worry~~~

Last night, it rained heavily, thunder one after another, and there was a power outage in our community, which was very scary. I wonder if the current thunderstorm should be regarded as summer thunder?

——————————————————————It's a deafening dividing line————————————

August, for the government and the opposition, there were originally two extremely important days. The first is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and the second is the emperor's birthday on August 30. However, because of the empress dowager's state funeral, all the celebrations were stopped, so the former only stopped the court for a holiday, and the latter only received congratulatory tables from all over the country, and several small banquets were held in the harem of the important ministers' clans.

Although the scale of the birthday banquet is small, the royal family still has to present birthday gifts according to the custom. This has always been a time for them to compete, and everyone has put a lot of thought into it. The prince sent a large screen embroidered with a nine-fold flying needle, which was ingenious and colorful, and everyone admired it as soon as it was lifted out; Yuwang did not know where to collect a piece of Taihu Lake stone that was high for two people, and the natural erosion was chiseled into a "longevity" word, which was extremely beautiful and could not be found. The other princes either sent a lone ancient book, or sent a jasper Guanyin, each of which was worth 10,000 gold, and so on. King Jing gave him a handsome falcon, which was very properly trained, and stood on Emperor Liang's arm with great vigor, tilting his head to look at the emperor, causing a burst of laughter.

Originally, Emperor Liang liked and praised the birthday gifts he received on the surface, but because of these laughter, many people secretly saw some clues.

Because the music can not be seen during the national mourning period, the atmosphere of the banquet is not strong after all, although the guests try their best to talk and laugh, but Emperor Liang's interest is always not high, according to the ceremony after a few rounds of toasts, then drive back to the harem.

In the forbidden garden, the queen had already arranged for the people of the six palaces to prepare an internal banquet to wait. Emperor Liang had drunk a few glasses of wine in the outer hall, crookedly leaned on the soft pillow to accept the congratulations of the concubines, because he felt that his waist was sore, and after the ceremony, he ordered Concubine Jing to come and sit beside him and massage, and his eyes were open and closed to look at the hall.

Although it is the emperor's birthday, but the mourning period costumes are systematic, everyone neither dares to wear plain, nor dare to wear makeup, at a glance, not as in previous years, colorful and gorgeous, but more elegant.

The women of the officials outside the sect saluted, and they all withdrew, and only the palace concubine and princess remained in the palace. The queen naturally first held a wine to congratulate, and then the concubine Yue. Because the prince was repeatedly reprimanded, Concubine Yue also kept a lot of low profile in the palace. Today, she only depicted the slender willow eyebrows that went into the temples, and she did not apply pink and vermilion, and her face was pale and light, with a thin smile, which was not as gorgeous and amazing as before, but made people feel more pity.

Emperor Liang took the golden cup from her ivory-like hand, took a sip, stared at her low-eyebrow appearance, and remembered that he was in the outer hall, and the prince also looked cowering, describing thinness, and his heart was soft.

Although he was angry that the prince misbehaved, after all, he still had affection for the mother and son for many years. What's more, now that the years are increasing, sometimes I see the stars on the sideburns in the mirror, and I often have the worry of twilight, and my heart can no longer be as ruthless as it was back then.

"You've lost some weight lately, but you're not feeling well? I should also send the imperial doctor to take a look......" Emperor Liang stroked Concubine Yue's shoulder and said softly, "Ye Qin has sent some snails to you, and I will order someone to send them to you at night." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yue Guifei's eyes were slightly red, but she couldn't cry on such a day, so she tried her best to endure it, and her eyes were naturally watery and sparkling. Emperor Liang saw that his heart became more and more pity, and he held her hand and asked her to sit on his right, and spoke to her in a low voice.

The queen was a little depressed, and couldn't help but glance at Concubine Jing, who was beating his shoulders behind the emperor's side, and saw that her eyes were lowered and her expression was quiet, as if she didn't feel anything at all, and she probably couldn't count on her to win Emperor Liang's attention. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a few young princesses next to him, and hurriedly raised his hand to let these girls gather around to toast.

Like the birthday feast in the outer hall, this inner feast did not last long. After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Liang felt sleepy, ordered the queen to stop the banquet, issued regular rewards, and then drove back to his bedroom to rest.

Maybe it was tiredness, maybe it was sick wine, and the next day Emperor Liang felt a little lazy and lazy, and the decree was stopped. The imperial doctor immediately rushed to the palace, and after a careful diagnosis, there was no serious illness, so he could only prescribe some evacuation prescriptions for warm therapy. Emperor Liang himself felt that he was just lazy, and there was nothing particularly uncomfortable, and he didn't want to move too much, so he sent a decree that the royal courtiers did not have to enter the palace to ask about illness, and he took medicine and slept for a few hours, and when he got up in the afternoon, he was really refreshed.

Although his physical condition improved, Emperor Liang still didn't want to deal with political affairs, read a few pages of idle books, and suddenly remembered that Concubine Yue's mother and son were haggard yesterday, and his heart moved, and immediately called Gao Zhan and asked him to arrange a car to drive, and prepare to quietly go to the East Palace to visit the prince to show his kindness.

The emperor said that he wanted to go "quietly", of course, he could not report it in advance, Gao Zhan only notified Meng Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army, to arrange defense, and the emperor and his entourage did not move the people, together with Meng Zhi himself and his entourage, but dozens of people, along the high wall between the forbidden garden and the East Palace, quickly and quietly came to the door of the East Palace.

The holy car suddenly came, and the people on duty in front of the East Palace were panicked and knelt on the ground. Because Emperor Liang had arrived in front of him, everyone was busy saluting, and no one dared to get up and run inside at this time, and no one went in to know the prince for a while.

"What is the prince doing?" Emperor Liang asked casually.

A man dressed in the color of the history of the six grades replied tremblingly: "Hui...... Return, return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, in the ...... ...... inside"

"Nonsense! Where would it be if it wasn't inside? I asked him what he was doing in there?! ”

"Return, return to Your Majesty...... Slave no, I don't know ......"

Gao Zhan saw that his answer was really unorthodox, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let them go and inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come down and take over?" ”

Emperor Liang let out an "um". Gao Zhan casually pointed to the internal history who had just replied, and whispered, "Don't go yet!" ”

Na Neishi kowtowed, got up and ran inside, because of panic, when he went down the steps, he accidentally stepped on his robe, slammed and slammed into, and was busy getting up and running.

Emperor Liang couldn't help laughing when he saw his embarrassed appearance in the back, but as soon as he laughed twice, he suddenly became suspicious in his heart. He knew about the internal history, and often served by the prince's side, although the grade was not high, but he was not a newcomer who had never seen a driver, even if he came unexpectedly today, he would not be frightened and panicked like this......

"Call that man back!"

Gao Zhan hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to chase back Na Neishi and bring him to Emperor Liang to kneel and wait for questioning.

"You just said ...... You don't know what the prince is doing in it? ”

Neishi curled up in a ball, crouched on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave is indeed not ...... I don't know ......"

Emperor Liang's gaze stayed on his face gloomily for a moment, and he said coldly: "Everyone kneel here, don't report, don't move." Meng Zhi, Gao Zhan, you go in with me! ”

"Yes."

After bowing down to receive the order, Gao Zhan felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although he didn't know what the situation was in the palace, he always felt that something was wrong, and he was afraid of causing some trouble, so he couldn't help but glance at Meng Zhi quietly, wanting to see what he meant, but he didn't expect that the great commander had no obvious expression on his face at all, just lowered his head and silently followed. He had no choice but to bend his body lower, and half-run in small steps followed Emperor Liang, who was walking faster and faster.

Although the regulations of the East Palace are not as good as those of Tian*cheng, it is the residence of the prince after all. From the main gate to the Changxin Hall where the prince lives daily, there is still a long way to go. Emperor Liang suspected that the crown prince was behaving inappropriately in his palace at the moment, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he decided to secretly go in and see for himself, but after all, he was very old, and he didn't go long before he was a little out of breath.

Gao Zhan was the most knowledgeable about the Holy Will, and he had already prepared in advance, and with a wave of his hand, the six people who had been following behind stepped forward. Emperor Liang sat upright with the hand of the chamberlain, and his speed was suddenly nearly twice as fast as his own walking. Going all the way in this way, of course, I met a lot of Donggong people along the way, although these people didn't know the situation, but Meng Zhi's gesture to silence them could still understand, and they knelt on the side of the road, and no one dared to move.

After the wall of the Ming Hall, turn to the Yongfeng Pavilion, and then there is the Changxin Palace. Emperor Liang stepped on the all-wooden hall corridor when he heard the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from inside, and he was furious, and his pace sped up.

During the national mourning period, music is banned throughout the country, which is a ritual system. It's just that the three-year filial piety period is longer, and later, many people will generally begin to quietly violate the system, as long as it is not too public, and no one reports it, the court will turn a blind eye. But after all, the prince's identity is not the same as ordinary people, first, he is the prince, and secondly, he is the descendant of the queen mother, and the national filial piety and filial piety are carried by two layers, not to mention that it is not the late stage of the mourning system, and even half a year has passed, and the East Palace began to perform music, which is really uncourteous.

However, to say that the prince doesn't know that it is against etiquette at this time, of course it is not, but he has always been used to enjoying himself, and he can't bear the silence of the mourning period, and he has been depressed and depressed recently, and he can't help but want to relieve his boredom. As for the sudden arrival of his father, because it had never happened before, he never thought about it.

Emperor Liang stood for a while in front of the closed door of the hall under the corridor, and his face was very ugly when he heard the deliberately suppressed music inside. But at this time, he still had some reason left in his mind, knowing that if he broke in like this, the crime of unfilial piety during the prince's funeral would be confirmed, for the Liang who has always flaunted the rule of filial piety, this is not a small crime, it is enough to overturn all the virtues of the prince's already weak reputation, and then not only a waste word is in front of him, but I am afraid that a large number of people related to the East Palace will follow. Taking a step back, even if he has abandoned his thoughts about the crown prince now and no longer has pity, Emperor Liang still wants to do it slowly, and does not want an unexpected unexpected event to become the cause of the abolition.

Thinking of this, Emperor Liang endured the anger in his heart, did not make a sound, turned around with a black face, and was about to leave quietly, when a voice suddenly came from inside.

"Your Highness...... Would you like to have another drink...... Your Majesty is sick, and I won't summon Your Highness today, so it's okay to get drunk......"

The delicate flattery was followed by a cold snort from the crown prince, "Even if my father is fine, he will not summon me." Now besides King Yu, who else is in the eyes of his father? ”

"Why did Your Highness say that, you are the crown prince of the current dynasty and the future emperor, in the eyes of Your Majesty, of course, there should be only you......"

"Forget it, I've seen it through a long time ago, my father is ruthless and suspicious, and always scolds me for not cultivating virtue and politics...... He didn't want to think about it, if he hadn't helped a king of honor to get up and do it against me, why would I have done those things...... If my virtue is not good, will my father's virtue be good? When the prince said this, he laughed out loud, followed by the sound of swallowing wine and throwing glasses.

Emperor Liang's face was pale, and his whole body trembled like chaff. Gao Zhan approached worriedly, stretched out his hand to hold him, but was violently pushed away, and almost fell to the ground. Emperor Liang didn't look at him at all, rushed down the steps in a few steps, pulled out a long knife from Meng Zhi's waist, turned around and rushed back. Gao Zhan's face turned pale with fright, he took a few steps on his knees and hugged Emperor Liang's thigh, and cried quietly: "Your Majesty think twice!" Your Majesty think twice! ”

In fact, Emperor Liang was just angry, and he didn't know what he wanted to do, just rushed to the closed palace door with a knife, and people felt dazed, so he swung his blade back and slashed hard, cutting a deep mark in the vermilion column in front of the palace gate, and then threw the knife to the ground, and turned around and walked away in great strides.

This movement is not small, the prince in the palace has been shocked, and when he crawled out to see, he only caught a glimpse of the corner of Emperor Liang's ochre-yellow robe disappearing outside the door of the outer hall, and then looked back at the knife marks on the pillar, and suddenly felt sweating like pulp, his head was buzzing, and the bones of his whole body seemed to be sucked away all at once, and the whole person was paralyzed to the ground.
