After Ma Hong's death, the crown prince Zhao Hongqing almost did not hesitate, and asked the Jinyi guards to bring the news to the front battlefield.

and also wrote down the causes and consequences of the rebellion.

The Seventh Emperor Zhao Changyun died in the chaotic battle, and the Sixth Emperor Zhao Changping was escorted back to Luoyang by Ma Hong's subordinates.

He is currently imprisoned in the dungeon of the East Factory, where many masters gather.

Xuanzheng Palace.

Zhao Hongqing is handling government affairs.

Queen He Ning came here quietly and brought him a bowl of sweet porridge.

Zhao Hongqing was suddenly alarmed, and hurriedly got up and said: "Queen Mother, it's all strange that Erchen is too fascinated by the music, and I don't know that my mother is here." ”

He Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "You have this diligence, the queen mother is very happy, but you also have to pay attention to your body." ”

Zhao Hongqing nodded and asked, "Why did the queen mother come here so late?"

He knew the character of the queen mother, and he would never be so late, just to send a bowl of sweet porridge.

This treatment, except for my father, I really haven't seen anyone have it.

Including his own son.

He Ning smiled: "Could it be that the mother has to come to see her son, and she has to have something to do before she can come over?"

Zhao Hongqing touched the back of his head, smiled, and said, "It's the son's son who is wrong, and I hope that the queen mother will forgive the sin." ”

He Ning shook his head and smiled, looking at the prince who picked up the sweet porridge and drank it, and in his smile, he showed the kindness that only a mother has, "The queen mother came here today for two things, the old general Ma Hong will be buried tomorrow, where are you going to bury him?"

Zhao Hongqing thought for a while, and wondered: "My father's mausoleum, so far, has not been built, if the old general is buried near the mausoleum of the emperor's grandfather, I am afraid that my father will be displeased if he knows." ”

He Ning said: "The queen mother has a suggestion that the body of the old general can be buried in the Martial Spirit Palace, so isn't it safe?"

The prince said with a sad face: "My father once said that the tablet of the dead general can be enshrined in the Wuhun Palace, and as for the corpse, there is no precedent for this queen." ”

He Ning thought for a while and said: "It's okay, buried in the Martial Spirit Palace, even if your father knows about it, he won't have any thoughts of blaming you, and when your father's mausoleum begins to be built, General Cao Lao and General Ma Lao will inevitably move to the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum." ”

Zhao Hongqing hugged his fists and said: "Then follow the mother's wishes." ”

He Ning sat on a chair, and the maid beside her poured water for her tea.

After taking a sip of tea, she said, "Your Sixth Emperor Uncle, what should I do?"

Zhao Hongqing said righteously when he heard this: "According to the law of the country, it should be beheaded, and Erchen plans to let the Criminal Department behead him in the early part of next month." ”

He Ning shook his head, "It's not proper." ”

Zhao Hongqing hurriedly asked, "Why is this? Could it be that you still want to let him go?"

He Ning said: "Your father, one of the most annoying things in this life is to fight in the same room, after all, it was your father who single-handedly caused the Xuanwumen Incident. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongqing hurriedly drove those eunuchs and palace maids out of the palace, and then deeply bowed to his mother.

He Ning felt that it didn't matter, and continued to speak: "No matter what, even if he has something wrong, you can't kill him, after all, he is your sixth uncle, not only can you not kill, but also eat and drink to worship, don't let him be in prison, send him to the temple, and send a group of masters to control him day and night, by the way, you can cultivate him to waste." ”

Zhao Hongqing was puzzled: "Why is this, Queen Mother, he is a thief, if you don't kill him now, you are already benevolent and righteous, so why do you need to do this to him? If it weren't for him, General Ma probably wouldn't have died." ”

He Ning took a long breath and said: "You are still too young, think about it, you are still very polite to an uncle who has never met and is plotting to rebel, not to mention those brothers of yours? Your father will definitely feel that when you become emperor in the future, he will definitely treat your brothers and sisters well." Ever since your father set out on the expedition, the queen mother's heart has always felt like a big stone blocked in her heart, and she has been worried, your good brother King Chu. ”

Zhao Hongqing frowned and said: "Please don't say this kind of thing in the future, Erchen believes in Hongji, as for what the Queen Mother commands, Erchen will do it." ”

Murong Hening nodded and said, "If you don't have much government affairs at hand now, let's go and see your sixth uncle first, no matter what displeasure you may have, in short, if this matter reaches the ears of your father, it will only be good for you." ”

Zhao Hongqing nodded solemnly.

He Ning got up, intending to leave here.

When he came to the door, before he stepped out of the palace, He Ning said again: "Of course, the queen mother wants to see you two brothers in harmony, but your father has been worried that you will have something to do in the same room in the future, just like your father and his brothers. ”

After saying this, it is a complete departure from here.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongqing fell silent.

After a while, he said to the eunuch outside the hall: "Come on, prepare horses, Dongchang dungeon." ”

The eunuch outside the hall immediately said, "No!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Hongqing came to the dungeon of Dongchang and met the sixth uncle Zhao Changping, who was now extremely down.

Zhao Changping naturally noticed Zhao Hongqing's arrival, and said with a smile: "I saw you outside the capital that day, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing here?"

Zhao Hongqing took a deep breath, held back the impatience in his heart, and said, "Nephew Zhao Hongqing, I have met the sixth uncle." ”

Zhao Changping sneered and said: "Don't be foolish, even if you are pretending to be in front of others, you can't hide it, your vein is full of disloyal and unfilial people." ”

Zhao Hongqing frowned and said, "I don't know what Sixth Uncle means by this?"

Zhao Changping stood up, through the wooden fence, and said angrily: "After the death of Emperor Renzong, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, it was your father, my good eldest brother, who launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, causing almost all the imperial relatives in Beijing to die, anti-prince is disloyal, killing elders is unfilial, I said that your vein is disloyal and unfilial, is it wrong?"

Zhao Hongqing looked at the sixth uncle who was almost hysterical, felt a little ridiculous, shook his head and sighed: "If Emperor Ling continues to rule, or if you ascend to the throne, can you let go of my father and emperor? Can you let our family go? I'm afraid you can't? In that case, why does the sixth uncle need to be high-sounding and talk some nonsense here?"

Zhao Changping squinted his eyes, looked at the crown prince of the dynasty, and mocked: "You little doll, you know a fart? Even back then, a few of our brothers, on the bright side, fought for the bloody head again, but never thought that one day, we would kill all the brothers, never! But your father, my good brother, Zhao Changqing! He is really poisonous! Quietly taking the throne really surprised everyone. ”

Zhao Hongqing said: "In the past, there were descendants who commented that the sixth uncle thinks that if today's position as the monarch of the Great Wei State is replaced by any of my uncles, can the Wei State develop into today's atmosphere?"

Zhao Changping said disdainfully: "No matter how big the territory is, if the foundation is not strong, sooner or later, it will fall apart." ”

Zhao Hongqing asked with a smile: "Could it be that the sixth uncle naively thinks that the strength of the Wei State today is only better than the vast territory?"

Hearing this, Zhao Changping was silent.
