Chapter 377: No Trust
The prince gritted his teeth when he said: "Fortunately, King Chen is fine, if the third brother of this palace really has three longs and two shorts, even if you are loyal to this palace, this palace will never spare you!" But this time, for the sake of your loyalty to this palace......"
The prince said no more. He wanted to remind Zhou Guangren that you have to be loyal to the palace, and the palace can save you.
After a pause, he said: "You are a slave in the palace, and now because of your loyalty to the palace, you have done such a foolish thing, and I can't teach you well when I look back at the palace!" I have to let you accompany King Chen! ”
The crown prince emphasized that you must be loyal to the palace in order to have the opportunity to return home, so he will not say anything to him.
The rest is up to him to comprehend! No matter how stupid a person is, in such a situation, he should be able to grasp the meaning of his words.
turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Father, the son is guilty, please punish the father!" ”
"Oh? What is the sin? The emperor asked this sentence, but this question was completely different from the one asked King Chen, not a smile, but a complete deep voice.
"These people are indeed the soldiers in the Erchen Mansion, and the one who the Erchen spoke to him just now was Zhou Guangren, the commander of the soldiers in the Erchen Mansion. Today, Erchen accidentally learned that the third brother sent someone to pick up a Jianghuai person, and he felt a little strange in his heart. Thinking about it, it's so dignified, what did the third brother do when he got a Jianghuai person to come over? ”
In addition, it was an eventful autumn, and Erchen was a little worried, thinking that it could be that the third brother wanted to make a big fuss about Qufucheng, and also wanted to pour dirty water on Erchen along with some ill-intentioned people? When he was in distress, it happened that Commander Zhou came to report to Erchen about the deployment of government troops in the new year, and when he saw Erchen's sad face, he asked Erchen. ”
The prince sighed and blamed himself: "It's also strange that Erchen is too talkative, Erchen is bored, I heard someone ask, and he is a subordinate that he trusts, so he told him about his worries, saying that I am afraid that the third brother will casually arrest a person with a Jianghuai accent to frame me." I didn't expect Commander Zhou to listen to it, and when he turned around, he brought someone ......"
"On the road, the ministers have seen that there are still some corpses lying on the street. At the time, I didn't understand what was going on, but now I understand when I see them dressed up. It seems that they are leading people and blocking the way of the third brother? ”
The prince said this, and plucked himself cleanly.
After speaking, he was busy kowtowing again and said, "The son asks his father for mercy!" Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of the sons and daughters, and it doesn't matter if the father and emperor only punish the sons and daughters, and it doesn't matter if they are punished heavily! But the soldiers who begged their father to forgive their sons were just because they were too loyal to their sons and couldn't bear to let their sons be framed! Erchen must teach them a good lesson when they go back, so that they don't dare to do it again! Beg my father to spare their lives! ”
After speaking, he could not bow his head.
This scene looks really touching.
The emperor leaned on the dragon chair and looked at the prince with a calm face for a long time.
In the end, he didn't give the prince any answer, but looked at the craftsman and asked, "What's your name?" ”
When the craftsman heard the emperor ask him, he knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, the grass people's name is Chen Yongfu, a person from Huaibin Mansion. ”
His voice trembled a little, but he made it clear.
The emperor nodded and said, "Can you participate in the repair of the Sanhuai River?" ”
Chen Yongfu nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people participated." ”
"I heard that Cai Sheng read the wrong drawings and ordered you to make the wrong chisel, but that's the case?"
"This ......," Chen Yongfu said honestly, "in fact, the grass people also listen to others." said that Lord Cai's drawings were originally wrong, but the adults did not read the wrong drawings. The old man instructed the foreman Er Chai Fa and said, as long as Lord Cai gives an order, don't remind him, you will do what he tells you to do. In fact, they all know that Lord Cai's drawings are wrong......"
"But somehow, when it came time to get the drawings back, the drawings turned out to be right again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the foreman, and the foreman said that the drawings that Lord Cai showed him at the beginning were the ones that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had taken, and they were the right drawings. The grass people haven't figured it out yet. It's just that when the workers get together, they often talk about it, saying that someone has dropped the bag. Also said...... It is also said that this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant. ”
"They all said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want to see Lord Cai, and he was good with Lord Qu, and wanted Lord Qu to do the Sanhuai Salt Road. Who doesn't know who doesn't know the three Huai people, once you do the position of the three Huai salts, it is equivalent to sitting on the gold and silver mountains. And this mountain will be higher and higher by them......"
Chen Yongfu was still scared, but as he spoke, it turned into idle talk with the words in his mouth, and he was not so afraid. actually talked to the emperor about his own opinion: "Hey...... Anyway, the adults don't understand the things of the adults, and the little ones don't understand, that is, the old man tells the foreman what to do, and the firewood foreman tells us how to do it. But now, several of the good brothers involved in the construction are dead......"
"Speaking of which, a few of us are the most effective long-term workers in Mr. Zhang's family, and sometimes the master also tells us something. But in this matter, the master only ordered one of the firewood foremen to lead us to do it. Sometimes when we eat and drink together, Lao Chai will also reveal a few words, saying that the master has climbed into a great nobleman, and if he becomes a Beijing official in the future, he may take us to Kyoto City together, let us follow the master to do a good job......"
"We are dedicated to honoring the master, the master let us move, we will move, I am a bachelor, because there is no silver and good wine, I have not married a daughter-in-law in my thirties, and it is nothing to move. But other people, dragging their families together, can be troublesome. Fortunately, the lord was kind to us, and he didn't give us less money. It's just that somehow, someone came to harm us, but he didn't care. If it weren't for a young man who saved me and Lao Chen, I would have died...... But on the way, Lao Chen was killed by a stinky girl......"
"Ahem......" King Chen listened to him say too much, and it is estimated that if he continues, his father has no heart to deal with the prince's affairs, and only thinks about dragging this noisy craftsman out to kill his head.
Therefore, he coughed lightly, and reminded in a weak voice: "What does the emperor ask you...... You just say it...... Don't talk about some of the short ...... in the parents"
It's not pretending to be weak, but really not having the strength.
Just now, Imperial Physician Xue said that this sword was very dangerous, only three inches away from his heart, even if it deviated a little more, his life would be gone.
When my father heard this, his brows tightened, and he was very worried. That's exactly what he's trying to achieve. He knew exactly where the wound was. If it wasn't more serious, how could he make my father pay attention to this street assassination?
As long as he doesn't die, he can still endure a little hardship. Originally, it was fine, but it hurt a little, a manly man, what can't you bear? However, Imperial Doctor Xue treated his wound, and after applying the medicine, the medicine seeped into the skin and flesh, making his entire chest burn like a burning pain.
Imperial Doctor Xue also said, there is no way, it is too close to the heart, in order to prevent the wound from rotting and affecting the heart, you can only use some powerful medicine to make the wound heal faster. But there is a downside to this medicine, which is that it hurts.
He was not afraid of some pain, but he didn't want to leave any sequelae behind, so he also instructed Imperial Doctor Xue to diagnose and treat it with confidence.
Of course, it's not that he can't bear the pain now. I just don't want to endure it, and I just follow the feeling of my body.
Seeing that King Chen's face was pale and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, the emperor couldn't help frowning and asked Imperial Doctor Xue, "What's the matter?" I saw that the third child was fine when he came in, why was he diagnosed and treated by you, but his face was so ugly? ”
Imperial Physician Xue hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Wei Chen has just said that he used a strong medicine." And this wound is too close to the heart, in fact, after His Royal Highness King Chen was injured, the pain in his body was already unbearable, and the impact of the sword qi alone had already shocked the heart. ”
"Your Majesty said that His Highness looked fine when he first returned...... Weichen thought that it was mostly because His Royal Highness was holding on. If it were someone else, I was afraid that I would cover my heart and cry out in pain. His Royal Highness King Chen is iron-clad, which makes Weichen admire. ”
The emperor frowned and looked at King Chen, saw his pale face, and then remembered the pool of blood on his cloak when he first entered the imperial study...... It's as if I saw myself when I was young.
At that time, the second brother sent an assassin to kill him, he was obviously hit by the sword, but he had to pretend that he was not hit by the sword, scaring people with a smile, and waiting for reinforcements to come to save him. The times are turbulent, this dumb loss, and in the end he can only swallow it himself.
The third child's appearance now is very much like himself at that time......
The emperor sighed and looked at the prince: "Prince, you also heard the words of the craftsman, what do you think of his words?" ”
The crown prince bowed his head again and shouted, "Father...... The retainers have been wronged......"
Speaking of this long work, Erchen did have a little impression of him, as if he had seen it. Thinking about it, it should really be a worker of the Zhang family, it seems that ......" The prince glanced up at King Chen and said, "It seems that the third brother has really put in a lot of effort." But for the sake of the third brother's serious injury, it is difficult for the son to say anything about the third brother. ”
The prince wants to be a good brother, but this time, King Chen can't be a good brother. As soon as the prince's words fell, King Chen snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction with the prince.
The emperor did not show any opinion on the prince's words, and still did not let him get up. looked at Zhou Guangren, who was kneeling behind him, and said, "What the prince said just now, is it true?" ”
Zhou Guangren looked at him left and right: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen did not go to Sanhuai with His Highness, and I have never seen this person." I really don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen it. ”
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Zhou Guangren, before you answer my words, I advise you to think clearly, whose world is in this world, and whose courtier you are as a courtier......
