The third prince stood up and leaned forward: "You say, if I allow them!" Allow them to cover up the truth like this, exchange the grievances of the mother concubine for the throne, and allow the woman's son to enjoy the glory of the prince, and allow the woman to mourn after her death, and still have to be buried in the imperial mausoleum! Even if I sit on the throne of Emperor Dalong, what I am stepping on is the vain death of my mother's concubine, and what I am carrying on my head is the compensation and gift of my father, and I must rely on the assistance of my rival in love to achieve the unification of imperial power! ”

"My life, that's a complete loss, my father made up for the guilt of his mother, and he was so dead that he could see my mother's concubine in the future. Even the queen will laugh at me, because although I have won the throne, it is thanks to her merits that she killed the person whom the Son of Heaven loved, and fulfilled my evil seed. ”

"If I want to get the throne of the Great Dragon Emperor, I can fight for it myself, and I don't need anyone's mercy to make up for it, just like if I don't want it, no one can impose it, I want them to understand that I am not manipulated by them." The third prince suddenly laughed: "I only understood that day, whether it is Taoguang or hard work, it is all blind tossing, I just don't do anything, and the throne is also mine, because my mother died and was killed by the queen, so my father wanted to make up for it from the beginning." ”

"Dongchang, if I take over the throne, all the efforts I have made in the past will be a joke."

The prince in the brocade robe gently arranged the sleeves of his robe, sat down safely, held a glass of wine, and looked out the window.

All the causes occurred in the sixth year of Yuanqing, on the night after Yu Feng and Yijing's wedding, there was a drunken conversation between the father and son and the monarch in the middle of the Yan Shan.

When the third prince entered the Tongling Pass, he heard that the Son of Heaven gave the prince of Chu to marry the prince of Chu and the lord of Guangping, and he was anxious to rush back like a foehn meal and lodging dew, but in the end it was still to no avail. Even if he was unconvinced, he could only admit that he had never gotten that person's heart, and he tried his best to fight for it, even risking his life, but he couldn't get her promise and heart.

I had already lost in the morning, lost to Yu Feng, and lost to her.

For the first time, the proud son of the sky, who was tired of stepping on the golden saddle outside the main gate, felt really depressed, he turned his mount, folded into a teahouse on the edge of Qingque Avenue, and began to use his first meal since he embarked on the return journey to have a safe and stable breakfast, but what he heard in his ears, those words, are still talking about yesterday's wedding, how the groom is in the wind, how the bride is alluring the country and the city, the praise of the pearl jade wall and the match made in heaven is endless, which makes the three princes' chests ache.

I've never felt so disgraced and defeated.

Pride and self-esteem don't allow him to throw in the towel.

The third prince never thought that one day he would also be tempted by a woman, and even wasted his mind to win her only a gentle gaze, and the personal feelings of his children were never written into his life plan, he thought that there would be no such person in this life, not to mention risking his life to fight, and it was not even worth the slightest distraction.

But there was such a person, who interfered with his plans and arrangements as an insertion, and occupied his heart inch by inch.

It's funny that he didn't even find a reason.

Could it be because of her unusual pride, that she did not succumb to his identity and appearance, and that she had always truly shown her disdain and resistance to him, "by no means a good person" - the first time she talked, she said this about him and her eldest sister.

It's ridiculous, she actually made a judgment a long time ago, and excluded him from her life, she doesn't even deserve to be a brother-in-law, don't talk about her husband?

All women, too, saw through his ambition at first sight, behind the absurdity, the plan must be wide.

She made no secret of her dislike for him, for him, her heart was so defensive that she couldn't avoid it.

He really didn't know why she was tired of him, was it because of the utilitarianism in the beginning?

Who in positions of power can abandon utilitarianism? Could it be that what Yu Feng gave her was pure love? He really wants to see if Yu Feng will one day be in a dilemma, when love and power must be traded, will he choose his children's private affairs.

He was determined not to stop there, and one day, he would make her understand that he was the one who was different.

His precious affection will never be abandoned.

So he freshened up and changed his clothes, and came to the door to congratulate him with a radiant face, as expected, only Yu Feng entertained him, and accepted his congratulatory gift calmly.

The third prince was not dissatisfied, this was the posture of the victor he admired, and he should not have behaved embarrassedly and cowered, and if he lost to a bad seed, it would be even more humiliating.

Of course, he did not show the melancholy of a loser, which made people laugh at him.

But his willfulness and frustration must be vented in front of the Son of Heaven - a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, let alone an emperor who is a man of his word! Father, you actually reneged on your promise! If the abandoned son behaves "with sincerity and convincing," does he not expose the desires of his heart?

At that time, the three princes still had the throne at their heart. It is necessary to "put on a show" and hide the intentions.

So that night, in order to comfort his depressed son, the Son of Heaven began to push the cup and change the lamp at the place where the scenery of the palace and the favorite concubine were the same. The initial rhetoric did not make the third prince dissatisfied, and he agreed very much with the words of the Son of Heaven to take care of the overall situation, but of course, he had to show that he was not convinced, showing the "generation gap" between him and the Son of Heaven - Father, you don't understand love!

Facing his son, who is very similar to Concubine Wan, looking around at the familiar scenery, the Son of Heaven put a few cold wines into his stomach, and gradually gave birth to the melancholy of things being wrong and the scene of death, and with the reluctance of the three princes with "my father doesn't understand my heart", the Son of Heaven began to show that he was also a person from the past, how could he not understand the taste of emotional sadness? With the recollection of the harmony with Concubine Wan, the Son of Heaven felt even more sad, and the wine was sad, not turning into lovesick tears, and turning into "unobstructed".

even pointed out the topic: "San Lang, the reason why I am telling you this today is because I have long seen that you are not as willful and reckless as you seem, you only know that you are in love with your children, you have the overall situation in mind, and you have only been obscure in the past few years, I understand your difficulties, if you show too early wisdom, the queen will not be compatible." When mentioning the queen, the Son of Heaven gritted his teeth slightly.

The third prince was shocked by these words, his mind turned over the river, and he heard a long sigh from the Son of Heaven: "Over the years, you have not been easy, I see it in my eyes." ”

A few more glasses of stuffy wine entered his throat, and the Son of Heaven said something that shocked the third prince even more: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten your mother, and her grievances will come one day...... San Lang, although I have many concubines and concubines, I have the only lover, and I am also the most unworthy person, you can rest assured, even in order to get your mother's understanding after a hundred years, this throne, I can only hand over to you, this marriage is not sorry for you, but I have already planned, and I will hand over Dalong to you to inherit in the future, so I must make a choice. ”

The third prince never thought that this time he would get such a result with his intention of "willfulness", he was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time to react, and he quickly got up and said a bunch of clichés about He De and He Can, but with ulterior motives he shifted the topic to the death of Concubine Wan: "The mother concubine was killed by the Beiyuan tenants, and the father was thousands of miles away and couldn't protect him, it wasn't his father's fault, how could he feel sorry for himself?" ”

The Son of Heaven was still a little sober, and did not continue the topic, but turned back and talked about political affairs, the current official reform, the future military reform, and the reuse of the two prefectures of Su and Chu.

At this time, Xue Dongchang listened to the third prince repeat the words of the Son of Heaven that day, but he still did not recover from the shock: "Your Highness, forgive your subordinates for bluntly saying that just relying on the ambiguous words of the Holy Lord, it does not mean that the Holy Lord knew that the Empress was the real murderer. ”

The third prince raised his eyebrows slightly, not full of mockery: "Then, just because the mother concubine was killed by the Northern Plains, my father will be so guilty that he must give me the throne, otherwise there will be no shame under Jiuquan?" ”

"This ......"

"My father's concubines died more than one or two, and some were even given to death by his own hands, such as Liu Cairen, who 'slandered' the queen and harmed my biological mother, why did my father only feel ashamed of my mother's concubine, saying that he was the most unworthy person? Also, my father used to pay so much attention to the middle palace and the prince, even I thought that the crown prince would not die, and the throne would not change, why did you tell me that he did not regard the prince as the heir to the throne from the beginning? ”

Xue Dongchang: ......

"I was shocked and skeptical that day, and I was not sure." The third prince lowered his eyes, but his palms tightened: "After that day, my father handed over a dark part to me, and I used this pervasive spy to begin to carefully investigate the actions of the first emperor and the queen mother after the death of my mother." ”

The third prince never knew the truth because he witnessed Concubine Wan being strangled by the queen's order, so he didn't check it until the sixth year of Yuanqing, because of the unintentional words of the Son of Heaven, he was puzzled.

Of course, he wasted some thoughts, creating the illusion that he was secretly investigating the queen's handle, and did not make the Son of Heaven suspicious.

"I started from the 'rumor-mongering' queen, Liu Cairen, who was given to death by her father, and learned that she was the queen mother's former female official, and she was deeply trusted by the queen mother." The third prince sneered: "Such a person, why is the frenzied 'slander' queen?" ”

"It turns out that Liu Cairen was wronged, and the person who spread the rumors was a fool like Concubine Li, but she was not suspected."

Xue Dongchang: ......

"Why did my father believe that it was Liu Cairen who spread the rumors, and the queen mother also acquiesced to the death of her cronies?" The third prince sneered again: "I guessed at the time that Liu Cairen was the one who knew the truth, so the rumors were together, and the father and the queen mother thought of her first, Li Concubine was actually not angry with the queen, and she was sad, she couldn't know the truth, so she was safe and sound, and no one doubted it." ”

In other words, the Son of Heaven executed Liu Cairen back then, not because Liu Cairen "slandered" the queen, but because he wanted to kill her.

Xue Dongchang broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's not easy to detect this matter, and it must be covered up from people's eyes, but it is in response to a sentence, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, Dongchang, do you know the truth of the matter?" The third prince asked, but he asked himself: "My father was far away in Fujian at the time, but my mother died violently, and the murderer was actually a tenant from Beiyuan...... But who was the first emperor? was very suspicious and did not believe people's words, so the queen mother inspected the family of the Jingping nun and found that the queen had evidence of her crimes...... The first emperor and the queen mother knew that the mother concubine was killed by the queen, but they have been concealing it, and later, the father returned to Beijing, and did not believe in the so-called truth, and began to secretly investigate, but the queen mother learned about it and told her the truth, but persuaded her father to give up, because the Kong family was deeply valued by the first emperor at that time. ”

"The queen mother wants to find out the hidden situation, she must entrust people, Liu Cairen is one of them, and later her father ascended the throne, the queen mother gave her to her father, just to keep her silent, who knew that she was inadvertently instigated by Concubine Li to implicate the trouble, Liu Cairen heard the rumors together, and knew that she was in danger, and her personal palace maids were all given to death, but there was still one missing...... It was the waiter who waited for Liu Cairen, because he was related to the chief servant of Ci'an Palace, and was not implicated, but he knew the truth, in the sixth year of Yuanqing, he was seriously ill, and asked for grace to go out of the palace and return to his private residence to recuperate. ”

Naturally, the chamberlain "died" that night.

"Dongchang, the fact is that my father knew the truth early, but he was persuaded by the Queen Mother and kept concealing it, and even Jingping's living certificate has never been interrogated, in order to stabilize the queen." The third prince sneered and shook his head: "I believe that my father will not let the queen go, but so what, the queen will 'die of illness' at most, her crimes will not be made public, and she will be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death, and the tablet will be in the shrine, and I will have to bow down as my mother and offer incense." ”

"I understand the approach of the first emperor and the queen mother, if it were me, it would be the same, but I can't understand my father, he thinks that passing the throne to me can make up for my mother? Peace of mind in the future? Do you owe me anything more? It's funny, if I want the throne, the crown prince and the queen are my opponents? The fourth is my opponent?! ”

"What does Your Highness really want?" Xue Dongchang asked in horror.

"If my father wants to feel at ease, he must make the truth public, and I will never forgive him, I don't want his country." The third prince raised his eyebrows: "Dongchang, wait for the queen and the people of the Kong family to chase after Jianchang...... Let's fight him in a fight, and then, you and I will go to Xiliang, the throne of a country, and I will win it myself! ”
