Chapter 378: The East Palace is shaky
Zhou Guangren hung his head, in his heart, he was not afraid. He naturally knows that this world belongs to the emperor, and he is the emperor's courtier. But what if you know? He is working in the prince's mansion, and now that the prince has made him lie, can he still go against the prince's will?
No matter how much the prince makes a mistake, in the end it is the emperor's own son, and it is impossible for the emperor to kill him. Even if he betrayed the prince and told the truth, the emperor spared his life, and the prince could forgive him when he turned around? No way. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how the prince is punished, the most unfortunate, he is still a prince, and the power of the Zhenguo Mansion supports it! But what about him? He has nothing, just a nobody who eats with his kung fu.
The emperor said: "I also know that you people are all obedient to orders. I don't know if I'm a good emperor in your eyes. But at least you don't say anything about it, you should have heard it. ”
The emperor's gaze swept over the twelve black-clothed people present, and his voice was very gentle: "As long as any of you dare to tell the truth, I will let you take your family out of Kyoto City, so that others will not have the opportunity to settle accounts with you afterwards." ”
But the emperor didn't say that he wouldn't kill him himself. But this remark will cause a misunderstanding to everyone, that is, the emperor will not kill them, as long as they say it, they can live.
King Chen heard the strangeness implied in the emperor's words, and naturally it was impossible to say anything.
The prince's attention is not in the meaning that was not clearly expressed in the emperor's words, but in what the emperor said, the word "others". Hearing the emperor say this, but in his heart, he was cold and cold......
The "other person" that my father was referring to must be him.
It turns out that in his father's place, he has become a "bystander"?
Has the father forgotten that he is his son, his eldest son, and is connected to him by blood?
Yes, my father must have forgotten.
In the eyes of his father, only the sick and injured King Chen at this time is his own flesh and blood, and the others, hehe......
If he really dies in front of his father one day, I don't know if his father's death will be as indifferent to Yi'er's death as he is to Yi'er's death.
After listening to the emperor's words, these soldiers in the prince's mansion were all moved in their hearts, including Zhou Guangren. As long as they can leave Kyoto City, and the prince is too busy to take care of himself, they will naturally be able to retreat......
Thinking like this, Zhou Guangren's head lowered.
The crown prince said: "Father, what do you mean, the son doesn't quite understand. ”
The prince's words interrupted what Zhou Guangren was about to say.
It was precisely because he noticed something strange in the air that the prince immediately said this.
As his father himself said, whether he is a wise monarch or not, everyone may have different opinions in their hearts, but if you don't joke, he will definitely be able to do it. These government soldiers naturally know that the emperor will not deceive them into these inconsequential little minions. So, in order to survive, they will naturally tell the truth.
The emperor stared at the prince for a long time, and said, "I don't quite understand what the prince means. ”
The prince kowtowed heavily: "Erchen knows that my father has preferred the third brother since he was a child, and he doesn't like to see Erchen very much." Erchen also knew that because of the Zhenguo Mansion, his father was dissatisfied when he saw his son's ministers recently. But I implore my father and emperor to know that the son was really wronged in this matter. ”
"The soldiers of the minister's government have also served in the palace for many years, and they still have the ability to be obedient and listen to the sound. The meaning of my father's words was clearly to let them say something that my father wanted to hear. Otherwise, they would not be dead. In this way, for the sake of their own and their family's survival, even if they make up stories, they have to tell them wildly to satisfy their father. ”
"Father, the son thinks that it is unfair for the father to treat the son like this!"
In the last sentence, the prince said in a very serious tone. In fact, it is not only the tone of the last sentence, but the overall meaning of his words, which carries a lot of weight.
told all the prejudices he thought he had, and the emperor's prejudice against him.
The emperor listened to the prince's words with a calm face, and pointed at him angrily, but he couldn't speak.
Just leaned back in the dragon chair and stared at him with a gloomy face......
The prince's words really made him too cold.
I didn't expect the prince to think so all the time in his heart.
Even when he was most dissatisfied with the Duke of Zhenguo, he never had the intention of abolishing the prince. On the contrary, sometimes he thinks about how he should clear up the connection between the prince and the Zhenguo Mansion after the fall of the Zhenguo Mansion, so that people cannot criticize the prince with the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion, so that his ascension to the throne is not stained...... Of course, all this must be based on the obedience of the prince.
didn't expect that he was thinking about the prince so much, and in the prince's heart, he turned out to be a confused father who felt upset and prejudiced when he saw him...... O prince...... You're a chill to me.
The heart is cold, and it is impossible for the emperor to point to the prince and ask him anything, let alone say his thoughts as if he was wronged and complained. And after staring at the prince gloomily for a long time, he said: "It's okay, this is a matter of your prince's mansion, and I don't want to ask too much." But today's events are all caused by your misdiscipline, and I will never tolerate them. ”
When the prince heard the emperor say this, he thought that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, father, Emperor Mingjian!" ”
The emperor said: "You have not disciplined your subordinates well, so that you almost caused a tragedy, you should go back and reflect on it." Take your people back to your prince's mansion, and from this day on, you will not be allowed to leave the palace without my order. I will send someone to guard the gate of your prince's mansion for you, so that no one will come and disturb you. You just honestly meditate and think about it behind closed doors in the house! ”
The prince was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to be punished so heavily!
Don't let him go out, don't let others come to see him, and send people to guard the prince's mansion...... Isn't that tantamount to putting him under house arrest?
"Father, the emperor......" wanted to say something more, but before the words could be spoken, he was interrupted by the emperor raising his hand.
"I see, you think your prince's mansion is too big, and it's inconvenient for you to think about it, right? If I give you a mansion the size of King Jing's Mansion, what do you think? ”
How could the crown prince not understand the meaning of the emperor's words?
The emperor doesn't want to change his mansion, but to change his position! What the emperor means is that it is better to let him stop being the prince and be an idle prince like King Jing!
When the father said such a thing, the meaning was already obvious, and such a punishment could not be changed.
The prince didn't dare to say anything more...... There was no way he could risk his crown princeship. Since the father can say such a thing, it means that the father already has this idea in his heart, and as long as he touches it slightly, this thought will burst out.
The prince was silent for a long time...... He sat down on the ground. There was no other way but to bow his head dejectedly and say, "Son, the order, thank you." ”
"Go back to your Prince's Mansion!" The emperor's voice was very disgusted.
But this time, the prince didn't feel cold. Because he no longer has any feelings for the emperor's words.
Anyway, they are already under house arrest, and they are no different from an outcast. What feelings do you want to make a chess player feel when dealing with an abandoned pawn? If you don't just throw it on the ground and crush it, it's already merciful.
The emperor did not pursue the truth, but directly gave him a punishment, which was only possible after he got the truth. It also shows that his justification, in front of the emperor, is useless at all.
The father has already made a conclusion in his heart, and the conclusion was prompted by the third child to make it.
The crown prince's steps were heavy, and he walked almost step by step to the North Palace Gate.
None of the twelve government soldiers behind him dared to speak, nor did they dare to go in front of the prince, but they followed silently behind the prince. It's so quiet, but it's not because they are worried about the prince with empathy, but because they are worried about themselves.
The emperor had just punished the crown prince, and as soon as this matter came out, it was impossible for the prince to kill them immediately, so it would be too obvious. So until this matter is completely over, their lives can still be saved.
But what about when this incident is completely over? When the crown prince's house arrest was lifted, thinking of the humiliation he had suffered for a while, it was all because of them, and he didn't think about how to kill them every day to relieve his hatred, and he wouldn't stop if he didn't kill them?
Everyone is planning their own way out in their hearts, and they are all thinking about how to keep themselves alive and how to keep their families alive.
The crown prince doesn't have time to take care of these people behind him now, and it is impossible to kill them anyway. Since my father said that he should take it back to the palace, then bring it back. These pieces of waste, one of them are more useless than the other, and they are really going to kill him!
First, Weaving Star missed one after another, and then these two dozen elite soldiers, killing a craftsman who didn't know martial arts at all could fail! Why did the benefits take up all the benefits? Why are the people around him so clever......
Third child, are you satisfied now......
He, the third brother, is really terrifying. Either you don't make a move, and if you make a move, it's a fatal blow.
But his life was hard, even if the blow was heavy, wasn't he still dead? As long as you don't die, there will always be a day when you will make a comeback.
His father only put him under house arrest, and he also used the abolition of the crown prince as a threat to him, but it can be seen that at least for now, his father does not want to abolish him. Otherwise, with the character of his father, the punishment given to him today is definitely not house arrest, but directly - abolishing the crown prince.
It's not too bad to think about it...... When there is house arrest, there is a time when the ban is lifted. Can he be placed under house arrest for the rest of his life? Even if he was willing, the Zhenguo Mansion would not be willing.
It's true that he's under house arrest and can't do a lot of things. But on his grandfather's side, he can be allowed to be so restrained? Don't you have to look for a chance to fight back?
