Chapter 426: Reflection
Emperor Yongkang's eyelids drooped, he was silent for a while, and bowed his head: "Yes, if I didn't have that dream, I'm afraid I would really regret it for the rest of my life!" ”
"Dreams? What dreams? ”
Xia Mohan looked at Emperor Yongkang, and couldn't hide his curiosity in his eyes: "Do you mind if the imperial brother minds talking to his brother about that dream?" ”
Emperor Yongkang's expression changed imperceptibly, his subtle change was seen by Xia Mohan, and the curiosity in his eyes couldn't help but be replaced thoughtfully: "If it's inconvenient, forget it." ”
It is estimated that the dream is probably a little difficult to speak, otherwise, his imperial brother would not have changed his face and looked like he didn't know how to speak.
"You and I are siblings, and you are what I grew up watching, there is nothing that the royal brother can't say to you."
Emperor Yongkang's demeanor couldn't see joy or anger, and he said without any emotion: "You haven't forgotten the matter of the fourth child, have you?" ”
Xia Mohan nodded: "At that time, I just thought it was hard to believe." ”
Before the fourth prince overturned, he had a very good impression in Xia Mohan's heart, clinker, and suddenly Emperor Yongkang demoted him to a concubine, sent to the frontier, and was not allowed to return to Beijing forever, at that moment, Xia Mohan couldn't figure it out.
mutilating siblings, being insidious, unworthy of being a royal son...... Xia Mohan questioned the charges against the four princes, but he didn't ask in front of Emperor Yongkang, after all, the power of the emperor,
It is inviolable, even if he is the younger brother of this emperor, he cannot raise objections to what he says and does, and the holy decree issued, at this moment, hearing that Emperor Yongkang pulled out the matter of the four princes without warning, Xia Mohan almost instantly thought that most of the so-called crimes were true and false, just to cover the real crimes committed by the four princes. "Not only do you feel sudden, but after I had that dream, I went to verify it and saw the scene in front of me, and I felt unbelievable...... In the dream, as a bystander, I witnessed the fourth child and his mother in my harem.
heard that the fourth child and the slut Yun Xiaoyu met to talk about the case of the Ye family, saying that the Ye family was framed by the third child and the sinner Cen family and Cen Shilang, and said that in the whole matter, the fifth child was also involved,
Of course, the fourth child also contributed secretly. Soon, the dream changed, I appeared at the entrance of the vegetable market, and saw that the men of the Ye clan were all beheaded regardless of age, and I raised my hand to stop it.
But when I opened my mouth, I couldn't make a sound, and I could only see rivers of blood flowing all over the ground, and this scene woke me up from my dream. I didn't want to believe everything in the dream, but I involuntarily went to the slut's bedroom, and as a result, as I saw in the dream, the fourth child was with the shameless slut.
Isn't it a surprise?
Among several adult princes, I have always treated the fourth child well, knowing that he was born in poor health, and remembering that his biological mother had served me thoughtfully, and because the prince died in childbirth because of the birth of the prince to me, I inevitably felt a little partial to him, and left him to live in the palace all the time.
And the fourth child played a filial son very well, so that I felt like the family happiness between father and son of ordinary people, but I didn't think that everything was just illusory, and it was deliberately made by the fourth child for me to see.
This shows how deep the fourth child has in the city. After detaining the fourth child that night, I couldn't help but think, if I hadn't had that dream, if I hadn't gone to the slut's bedroom, the fourth child would have to sit on the chair in the temple in the future, and I would inevitably force the palace to kill my father! ”
His face became cold, the corners of Emperor Yongkang's mouth tightened, and after a moment, he said: "After convicting the fourth child, watching him being escorted out of the palace gate, this night, I was sleeping well, but suddenly I seemed to have been stung by a scorpion, and I couldn't help but open my eyes and sit up, and then I inadvertently saw a dense fold and a pile of papers full of words on the pillow......"
Xia Mohan said quietly to Emperor Yongkang, without interjecting a word, until Emperor Yongkang's voice fell, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and asked, "Brother Huang, are you sure you haven't seen the secret fold by the pillow in advance?" ”
Emperor Yongkang shook his head and said in an affirmative tone: "I have reviewed the excerpts during the day, but I have never found any entrainment in them, nor have I found the handwriting comparison and analysis records. "That is to say...... The imperial brother's holy decree that appeared on the execution ground at the mouth of the vegetable market at the last moment stemmed from the dream you had and the secret fold that miraculously appeared next to your pillow......"
Xia Mohan looked solemn: "Is there really no one who has quietly entered the imperial brother's bedroom and put things next to your pillow?" ”
"Nope."
Emperor Yongkang said, the corners of his mouth pulled up a wry smile: "It is estimated that Tiandu thinks that the Taifu and the Empress are too wronged, so they throw the evidence that can clearly prove the innocence of the Taifu and the Empress on my pillow.
Slap me in the face, this is not enough, the next day after the early dynasty was dispersed, the presiding officer of Dali Temple took a pile of evidence to me again, invisibly, I was slapped in the face again, for a while, I only felt that I was a faint king, almost made an irreparable mistake. ”
Xia Mohan was silent for a long time, and said: "I heard that the evidence in the hands of Dali Temple is actually a confession made by the officials who were attached to the third child and secretly helped the third child to do things?" ”
Emperor Yongkang bowed: "It is indeed a confession." Weird, isn't it? One by one, they took the initiative to go to Dali Temple as if they had fallen into the evil spirit, and they didn't need to be interrogated by the officials of Dali Temple, without reservation, and they all obeyed the arrangement of Cen Shilang as the master, and how to frame the Taifu A trace of the statement is clear. ”
"Brother Huang, my brother thinks that whether it is Tian helping the Ye family and the queen to clear their grievances, or those who helped the third child and Cen Shilang frame Mrs. Ye and the queen, or some chivalrous person from Edo secretly intervened, in short, you didn't make a big mistake in the end, this is your luck, and it is also my luck in Daxia!"
Xia Mohan said word by word, and after listening to his words, Emperor Yongkang sighed: "You are right, no matter how the evidence comes from, the final result is that I did not make a big mistake." ”
"By the way, is it okay between the imperial sister-in-law and you?"
"Compared to when I first came out of the cold palace, your imperial sister-in-law treated me much better, but I know in my heart that for your imperial sister-in-law and Rui'er, I really can't stand the two of them!"
Emperor Yongkang sighed, but Xia Mohan did not answer.
"Sometimes I can't help but wonder, since ancient times, why did the emperor have three palaces and six courts? Balance the court and extend the heirs for the royal family? If it is really an emperor with good means, he needs to rely on women to balance the court?
What is the use of having more children, children born to different women, who compete for interests and kill each other? ”
In history, even if it is a brother born by a mother, in the face of interests, it is not without swords facing each other, such as the Xuanwumen change in the Tang Dynasty, and then for example, Emperor Yang of Sui killed his father and killed his brother...... Therefore, the word "profit" is the head, the emperor has three palaces and six courts, and has many heirs, is it really good?
"How can the imperial brother say this to his ministers?"
Xia Mohan looked puzzled.
"Speaking of the Ye family's case, the root cause is the battle for the storage position."
See you tomorrow.
