303, as if on the edge of the abyss (2)
There are still a few days before the birthday of the second prince, and the congratulatory gifts sent to the palace have been piled up like a hill of several princes and princes who have been friends with him. And some of the people who originally supported the prince sent gifts were extremely valuable and rare, including a whole piece of Guanyin statue carved from mutton fat white jade, which was life-size, and a garment made of pearls from the deep sea, which was not as white as ordinary pearls, but glowed with a faint blue light.
Yuan Ke took the gift list, looked at it the same, picked up a few familiar names, and said to the people who served around him, "Put away the gifts of these people, send them the poems I wrote a few days ago as a return gift, and return the rest of the gifts, if anyone asks, there is no need to explain the reason, if they refuse to accept it, put it at the door of their mansion." ”
His companion is the youngest son of the leading general Yu Lie, and at this time, he can't help but step forward in a little hurry to stop him, "Second Highness, these valuable gifts were all sent by the people who originally supported the emperor's eldest son, and now the emperor's eldest son is imprisoned in Heyang Noseless City, and there is no possibility of turning over, since these people intend to show favor to the second highness, why don't they push the boat down the river and envelop them?" ”
Yuan Ke didn't explain anything to him, but only urged the little eunuch to go quickly. These people courted him, not because he was Yuan Ke, but because he was about to become the new crown prince. The more he refuses to accept them, the more they will continue to rack their allegiance to him, but if he accepts them too easily, it will not be easy to subdue them in the future. Yuan Hong didn't deliberately teach him, but he learned that set of imperial techniques to the fullest.
This companion who was bent on the second prince wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yuan Ke with his hand raised, "Don't worry, I don't accept this gift, they have to find a way to exchange it for a more expensive gift." ”
These things soon reached Feng Miao's ears, she took the list sent by the little eunuch, and carefully looked at it, and the few people who Yuan Ke gave back gifts were all noble children who studied in the palace middle school on weekdays, and they were not very old, and they did not have any actual influence in the court.
Feng Miao threw the list into the incense burner and burned it, secretly thinking that maybe she was thinking too much, and Ke'er, this kid, might have a pure temperament.
Yuan Ke's birthday was uneventful, and his chic and interesting return gifts have become a hot rarity in Luoyang City, and his poems and words are elegant and elegant, and he has won countless praises between several passes. Many people began to secretly calculate, it seems that this second prince is indeed as smart as the legend says. Da Wei has changed to Han customs in many conveniences, but the matter of marriage is still simple and unrestrained, as long as the man and woman are in love with each other, they can go to their parents and tell them that they want to get married. If anyone's daughter can take the lead and firmly grasp the heart of the second prince, the family will have something to rely on.
After his birthday, Feng Miao told Yuan Hong about Yuan Ke's actions one by one, "As long as this kid can be open-minded, with his intelligence, he will definitely be a good emperor." ”
Yuan Hong stroked Feng Miao's side face and said, "It's really difficult for you, I don't spend much time with Ke'er, if you don't pay more attention, I'm afraid this child's temperament will really be too extreme." He hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you have anything to persuade Ke'er, tell me and let me tell him, after all, I am his father, and even if he speaks fiercely, he should not complain." ”
Feng Miao understood what Yuan Hong meant, he was worried about what happened after his death, if Feng Miao was better to Yuan Ke, then when Yuan Ke ascended the throne as emperor, he would also treat Feng Miao and Huai'er well. He deliberately said it easily, but Feng Miao could hear it, he was full of reluctance, Huai'er was still too young, if there really was that day, the orphans and widows in the harem who were helpless were probably not as good as the displaced beggars.
She bowed her head and promised, "I know, Ke'er is very sensible, you can rest assured." ”
Three months after Yuan Ke's birthday, an edict promulgating the crown prince was also promulgated at the same time. When preparing the edict, Yuan Hong deliberately wrote two copies, one was the official edict of the crown prince, and after printing it, it was handed over to the internal secretary to order it to be used to pass on the edict. The other was encapsulated in a gold cylinder and placed in Feng Miao's hands.
"Miao'er," Yuan Hong looked at her earnestly, "I want to leave it to you to decide when and how to use this edict, and you must put it away." ”
Feng Miao had already read the contents of the edict and knew that the stakes were very high, so he put away the box made of pure gold. If you don't have a key, even if you chisel the lid with an axe, you won't be able to get the edict, and the mercury and dyes pre-placed in the mezzanine will flow out, completely defacing the handwriting on the edict.
Yuan Hong suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Feng Miao, "Why haven't you seen the letter sent by Yuan Sui in the past few months?" ”
Feng Miao lowered her head and thought about it, since Yuan Ke's birthday banquet, it seemed that she had never received a letter from Noseless City. A little anger swelled up on Yuan Hong's face, he originally looked at Yuan Sui willing to admit his mistake sincerely, and he was quite relieved, but Yuan Sui only persevered for a few months and gave up, this child is really too long-lasting.
Yuan Hong called a Yulin guard, told him to ride a fast horse to Noseless City, reprimanded Yuan Sui on behalf of the emperor in person, and then asked him to write a letter to tell him what books he had read recently. Yuan Hong specially told the Yulin guard that if Yuan Sui couldn't write a letter for a while, there was no need to urge, and he could give him a few days to write slowly. What Yuan Hong thought in his heart was that as long as Yuan Sui could know where he was wrong, and make a gesture of remorse, he would still forgive him if he remembered Lin Lang's affection.
The Yulin guards went and returned, and it took more than ten days, but the news they brought back made Yuan Hong furious. According to the guards of the Noseless City, in fact, Yuan Sui has been writing letters in recent months, but the words reveal resentment towards the emperor, and the guards did not dare to send such letters to Luoyang, for fear that the emperor would be angry and even the people in the Noseless City would lose their lives, so they quietly destroyed the letters.
The guard who came back with the Yulin guards who passed the message also said that Yuan Sui often cried in the middle of the night, lamenting that his father was guilty in Luoyang City, but he, as a son, could not help in the slightest. The guard trembled and added the last sentence, "The eldest son of the emperor still said...... Also said...... has been a prince for more than ten years, but it is too long, and he can't wait. ”
Yuan Hong raised his hand and flicked it on the bookcase, swept a stack of tables to the ground, and said coldly, "Does he regret that he has been a prince for more than ten years for too long, or does he regret that I have lived too long?!" This sentence really touched the hidden pain in Yuan Hong's heart, and with other bits and pieces, his anger was uncontrollable.
At this moment, Li Delu of the Shen Punishment Center also happened to send a confession for interrogation, and those people confessed that the king of Beihai had given them money, and that His Royal Highness the former crown prince had also promised privately after drinking that if he ascended the throne as emperor in the future, he would definitely issue an edict to allow the descendants of the Murong clan to restore their original surnames, and allow them to enter the court as officials like other tribes, and even promised several titles and official positions in advance.
Yuan Hong just sneered when he saw it, "I haven't become an emperor yet, I have already passed the emperor's addiction first, and this rebel is interested." In that confession, there was already a vague hint that the King of Beihai and Yuan Sui had a close relationship, and if they continued to interrogate, I am afraid that they would ask something even more ugly.
He imprisoned the King of Beihai on the charge of rebellion, but he never mentioned to anyone the evil things that the King of Beihai had done in the past, let alone let people know that Queen Zhen Lin had really "lost her virginity".
"Your Majesty, the eldest son of the emperor is just complaining, and the Noseless City is tightly guarded, so it is impossible for him to have any more bad intentions." Feng Miao persuaded in a low voice, after all, this is Sister Lin's child, and it is best to save her life.
Yuan Hong was silent for a long time, and the entire Chengyang Palace was filled with a sense of oppression that was about to suffocate. He summoned the internal officials and slowly spoke, "Spread the decree, the emperor's eldest son, Yuan Sui, still does not have the slightest remorse in the Noseless City, and the crime is extremely evil. From this day on, all expenses in the city of Noseless shall be cut off, and no clothing or food shall be allowed. ”
He paused, and finally made up his mind, and then said, "Take away the title of Empress Lin and abolish her as a concubine." "This matter must be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise, those courtiers who love to chase the wind and shadows the most may turn over the clues of old things, question the chastity of the Empress Lin, and question the true bloodline of the emperor's eldest son.
The internal official hurriedly retreated after receiving the order, and Yuan Hong said to Feng Miao in a muffled voice, "Miao'er, have you forgotten, I once told you that the emperor's mind is different from ordinary people, sometimes praise is for humiliation, sometimes derogatory is for protection." Lin Lang is a quiet person the most, I just want her to be peaceful, and I don't want anyone to disturb her...... I'll tell her when I see her...... Thank you, sorry ......"
Feng Miao put his head on his chest and nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, I know, I know your intentions, and Sister Lin will definitely know it...... She won't blame you...... will not ......" Lin Lang loves him so much, so much so that even she, who was just a bystander at the time, felt distressed, how could he be willing to blame him?
I have to say that Li Delu did have a very good way, he didn't let those Murong clan's living mouths die, and he also pried open their mouths and interrogated a lot of things. The psychology of people is so strange, when they refuse to speak, they bite to death, but once one person can't bear it and tells the first secret, the rest of the secrets will be asked one after another.
Every few days, he personally copied a confession and sent someone to Chengyang Palace.
