"Stop."

Seeing that the gate of the capital was in front of him, Gu Yunji suddenly stopped the carriage, and Li Jinze was puzzled when he saw this:

"Master Gu, why don't you leave? Although your complexion has improved a lot along the way, Gao Shishu has always refused to tell the truth, and I always have no bottom in my heart. It's better to find a doctor to check and make sure that you are in good health, so that people can rest assured."

Gu Yunji smiled and didn't answer Li Jinze's words, but asked rhetorically, "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is Your Highness going to do first after entering the capital later?"

Li Jinze was puzzled: "Of course, you will be placed in the palace outside the palace, and after ensuring your safety, you will immediately go back to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to treat you."

Gu Yunji sighed secretly and said, "When is Your Highness going to ask for sin?"

Li Jinze was stunned: "...... Please?"

Gu Yunji's voice was deep: "Your Highness first cut and then played, and without His Majesty's permission, he privately brought his ministers back to the capital, which is already a violation of the rules of the imperial court. His Royal Highness, as the prince of Great Xia, should have set an example for his subjects, but now he has made a mistake, and if he doesn't take the initiative to ask His Majesty for guilt, is he trying to make mistakes again and again?"

Li Jinze stopped talking.

Gu Yunji said: "Please also ask Your Highness to enter the city first, and immediately enter the palace to ask Your Majesty for guilt, and the minister will wait here until His Royal Highness gets His Majesty's forgiveness and allows the minister to enter the capital."

Li Jinze said in a deep voice: "Then what if my father refuses to forgive me and has not allowed you to enter Beijing?"

Gu Yunji smiled slightly: "If the minister enters the city with His Highness like this, then the magistrate will be asked to return to Beijing privately, and if it is serious, he should be punished for the crime of treason; However, the ministers only wait outside the city, and do not set foot in the capital without His Majesty's permission, and at most they can only be called leaving their posts without permission, and the nature of these two things is not the same."

"What's more, although His Highness's move is in violation, there is a reason for it, and it is not completely incomprehensible. You are Your Majesty's own son, and there is nothing that cannot be said between father and son, and as long as Your Highness follows what your ministers have taught you, Your Majesty will definitely be discouraged."

After that, Gu Yunji whispered a few words to Li Jinze.

After listening to Gu Yunji's words, Li Jinze glanced at him deeply, and said with a straight face: "Then please wait here for a while, Lord Gu will enter the palace now to see my father."

Gu Yunji smiled and bowed: "Your Highness, just go."

——

"The son-in-law Li Jinze came to ask his father for his guilt."

Half an hour later, Li Jinze knelt respectfully in the hall and said to Emperor Jingfeng above.

Emperor Jingfeng looked at him coldly: "Please? What sin are thou?"

Li Jinze's expression was calm: "Erchen violated the rules of the imperial court and left the territory with the magistrate Gu Yunji without authorization, which is also a crime; After the death of Mrs. Zhou, the son-in-law was so grief-stricken that he begged his father to let the son-in-law travel out of Beijing regardless of the overall situation, and buried the calamity, which is also the second sin."

"During his travels in Hangzhou, he was ambushed by assassins and almost died, and the son of man failed to protect his health, which made his father worry about his sons and hurt his father's heart, which is also a three-crime crime."

As he spoke, Li Jinze kowtowed heavily: "As the eldest son of his father and the prince of Great Xia, his son has committed these three crimes today, if he is lightly exposed, it will make the people of the government and the opposition unconvinced, and I implore my father to punish him!"

Emperor Jingfeng didn't expect Li Jinze to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and the depression that had been brewing for many days disappeared in an instant, but he still had a stiff face: "...... The last two articles will not be mentioned for the time being, but the first one."

"Although I gave Gu Yunji and other officials the right to move freely in order to exterminate the Japanese invaders, it was within Zhejiang! No matter what Gu Yunji says, he is also a magistrate, and he can't return to Beijing without an edict, so you dare to take him back to the capital privately, don't you take me seriously?"

Li Jinze immediately lowered his body: "Erchen doesn't dare!"

Emperor Jingfeng sneered: "Don't dare? What else would you not dare? Ostensibly to inform me, but in fact, when I received your letter, you were on your way back to the capital!"

"When Taifu Zhou died, you cried a handful of snot and tears in front of me, saying that the four high walls in the palace made your breath stagnate in your chest and sick. Thinking of the death of King Zhao back then, I was also sick for a while, and I almost didn't survive, I was for a while

If you are soft-hearted, you will be allowed to go out of the palace and relax."

"In order to let you travel with peace of mind, I hid it from the government and the opposition, and only said that you were in the East Palace to recuperate, but what happened? That's how you repay me?"

Li Jinze's body kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, as if he was afraid, and the more Emperor Jingfeng looked at it, the more angry he became, and he was furious: "You were first ambushed by assassins, and then you took the magistrate back to Beijing without authorization, which is not a major event that alarmed the government and the opposition?"

"In the eyes of the hundred officials, their prince should have stayed in the East Palace, studying and recuperating, but now he has stabbed such a disaster, how can you tell you to help you hide from the ministers in the first place! What kind of face do you have to deal with the courtiers' questioning?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingfeng was out of control, grabbed the cup full of hot tea on the table and threw it on the ground, "pop", the hot soup splashed, and the broken porcelain pieces scattered all over the ground.

Emperor Jingfeng was not only angry that Li Jinze took Gu Yunji back to Beijing without authorization, but also angry that the visit was a matter that the two of them knew secretly, Li Jinze just left quietly and returned quietly, without alarming anyone, but he just made such a thing, so that Emperor Jingfeng could not answer the question of the danger of the prince of the hundred officials.

When Emperor Jingfeng finished getting angry, Li Jinze slowly raised his head, revealing a face full of tears, and he said with a crying voice, "Erchen...... The son knows his mistake, and makes his father so embarrassed, and the son deserves death......

"Erchen wants to travel out of the palace, not on a whim, but a long-pent-up wish in the bottom of his heart...... Before his death, the teacher once said to his sons that although his father was young when he first ascended the throne, he had the courage and means to patrol the Yellow River and the south of the Yangtze River, inspect the local people's conditions, and grasp the situation in various places with one hand, so that the officials did not dare to deceive."

"Since the son is the eldest son of his father, he effectively imitates his father's ambition when he is young. When his father was as old as his son, he had already read a lot of books, inherited the Zhao Palace, and entered the court to participate in political affairs. The second emperor's younger brother is younger than his sons, and he can still send Dongying to make contributions, but his sons are huddled in the palace and have no achievements."

Li Jinze's forehead was broken by the broken porcelain piece that bounced up earlier, oozing wisps of blood, he cried uncontrollably, his words were sincere, and he looked extremely pitiful, which made people can't help but soften their hearts.

「…… Therefore, the son's visit to Jiangnan is not only to increase his knowledge, but also to follow the path that his father walked back then, to experience the mentality and ambition of his father when he was young, so as to grow into a qualified prince and not disappoint his father."

"Along the way, the sons and daughters carefully recorded what they saw and heard, and felt the customs and customs of the south of the Yangtze River, which can not only leave valuable memories for the sons and daughters themselves, so that they can often look back on them in the future, but also use them as a reference for their fathers and emperors to better grasp the situation in the DPRK and China."

Li Jinze said, handed over the record book he brought with him to Ning Fuhai, and presented it to Emperor Jingfeng's case.

Emperor Jingfeng opened it and took a look, and it was really recorded in great detail, and the geography of the south of the Yangtze River, folk customs, and the style and reputation of officials in various places were all involved in it, which shows that the writer has worked hard.

Not to mention whether this record book is useful to Emperor Jingfeng, it is already rare for Li Jinze to have this heart, looking at the prince who was tearful and afraid of remorse, Emperor Jingfeng's heart was already seven or eight points softer, and he softened his voice and said, "Let's get up and speak first."

"Yes." Li Jinze held back his tears and slowly stood up, his body was a little unstable because he had been kneeling for too long.

Seeing this, Emperor Jingfeng said, "Come on, give the prince a seat."

Li Jinze was flattered and stammered, "Erchen...... Son-in-law, thank your father."

At this time, a hurried palace attendant came in from the side door and whispered something in Ning Fuhai's ear.

Ning Fuhai looked at the faces of Emperor Jingfeng and Li Jinze, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the city gate guards have come to report, saying that Gu Yunji Gu's condition has suddenly worsened and is in danger, are you allowed to enter the city for treatment?"
