Weiyang Palace, Yilan Palace.

Liuyun saw his father put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Have you seen the Queen Mother?"

Liuyun Youzi had a red nose, obviously crying, and he replied in a humming voice: "Seeing that my grandmother is in good health, my son's heart is very happy, but I just saw it in a hurry, and I couldn't talk about it more, I hope to get the grace of my father, and I will visit my grandmother more in the future to fulfill my filial piety." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, dropped his pen, got up and sighed: "You have grown up, and the old residence of the harem is no longer able to live, so you will live in the Zhuan Ge Garden for the time being, and then move in after the palace is renovated." After this incident, all the ministers have placed high hopes on you, I hope that you will pay more attention to the overall situation of political affairs in the future, for the way of the king, success is easy to keep the merits of the difficulty, to guard the ancestors of the country, to expand the frontier and new land, is the emperor's necessary merit. In a few days, I will announce to the world that I will make you the crown prince, but you don't want to miss the responsibilities of your body because of this little child's heart. Now that you are sharing your father's worries and solving problems, it is also equivalent to doing your filial piety to the queen mother. ”

Liuyun thought to himself, now everyone thinks that it is his glory to send auspicious rui that day, but after all, it is not, and he actually doesn't want to be this hard-working emperor at all, if he is made a prince, it will be too late to regret it!

Thinking of this, he cautiously replied to his father:

"Actually, the fourth brother is both civil and military, and he is quite popular, and the retainer privately thinks that he is not as good as him, the position of the prince... The son has never been delusional, can I ask my father to think about it again?"

His father's expression changed, Liuyun was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, his father pointed at him, and when he was about to speak, he heard the internal official come to report: "Mrs. Xia asks to see." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face calmed a little, and he raised his hand to signal her in.

Liuyun thought to herself: "It's that Mrs. Xia, it's rare that after the fifth brother died young, this Mrs. Xia not only did not fall out of favor, but now it seems that she is even more loved." ”

Liuyun first smelled a quiet fragrance, like the smell of lilies in the mountains, and then heard a gentle footstep, caught a glimpse of an autumn-colored dress beside him, and a soft and gentle voice sounded: "The concubine asks Your Majesty for peace, and may Your Majesty be happy for a long time." ”

"Madame, get up, why are you here?"

"The concubine saw this hot weather, but His Majesty was sad recently, and she was really worried, so she stewed some lotus seeds and red dates with her own hands and sent them to Your Majesty. ”

Liuyun didn't dare to raise his eyes, and listened to his father say: "Mrs. Hard, for so many years, I am fortunate to have you by my side to treat me sincerely, put it on the case." Today, I will go to the Chaolu Hall to accompany you, if there is something at this time, you should go back to the palace first!"

"Yes~" Mrs. Naxia agreed, put down the soup in her hand, turned around and paused, and asked softly: "This is... His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, right?"

"Exactly, oh... You haven't met yet, Liuyun, this is Mrs. Xia. ”

Only then did Liuyun stand up, bow his head and ask, "Liuyun has seen Mrs. Xia."

Mrs. Naxia smiled, her demeanor was all right, and she also replied: "Sure enough, as the rumors said, she is handsome and extraordinary, and her concubine's presumptuous words are even more handsome than Your Majesty when the concubine first met." It's just that it seems to have cried, poor child, must have seen the Queen Mother. In fact, if you can let the Queen Mother live in the other garden for a few days, it will be nothing. ”

His father seemed to recall the past, and his voice softened a lot: "Okay, Fusheng, the soup has also been delivered, and people have seen it, you can go back to the palace to rest, don't work too hard." ”

When Liuyun heard her speak for herself, he felt good in his heart. Looking up twice, this Mrs. Xia is really like her, according to her thirties, she looks very young, her demeanor is gentle and generous, and she is not as restrained as ordinary palace people, smiling and groaning, with a unique style.

At this time, Mrs. Xia took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "Your Majesty, when the concubine came over just now, I saw a group of ministers kneeling in the front hall, and some people came to join one after another, very anxious, I don't know what is going on, the concubine can't ask with her beak, I just hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon body... The concubine has retired!"

Liuyun saw his father ask the internal official, "What's the matter with the front hall?"

The internal official stepped forward and whispered a few words, the emperor's face gradually turned pale, beads of sweat seeped out, and his eyes looked straight at Liuyun.

Liuyun has an ominous premonition that something is wrong!

At this time, his father ordered: "Liuyun, you follow me to the main hall!"

【2】

When Liuyun came to the main hall, there was already a large group of people standing on the main hall.

There are his third brother Liulu, his fourth brother Liurun, the three princes and nine kings, relatives of the emperor, the clan elders who have never been in the court, and the general Hongguang is also there.

The rest of the three grades below knelt outside the door.

Although there were so many people, they were strangely silent and strangely quiet.

After accepting the bow, the emperor asked, "It is not yet the time of the last dynasty, why are Zhong Aiqing so anxious?"

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to answer him.

The Emperor suddenly became angry, picked up a copper incense burner on the case, threw it down, and smashed it at the feet of Lord Yushi, so frightened that everyone knelt down again. I only heard him say word by word: "After this battle, what else do I can't hear? Prime Minister!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the prime minister said: "Since yesterday, there have been various rumors outside the palace. Say..."

He wiped his sweat and continued as if he had made up his mind: "Speaking of the six princes, it may not be His Majesty's own birth... The background is unknown, and the bloodline is doubtful!"

"Bold!" the Emperor rebuked, "Who dares to spread rumors in Kyoto?

"Yes! This matter must be strictly investigated!"

At this time, a person who looked like a prince came out and played: "Your Majesty, although it is a rumor, it has been spread to the world, if you can't take this opportunity to return the innocence of the Sixth Highness, I am afraid that it will be even more inappropriate in the coming day!"

A military attache came out and said: "Lord Wang, when His Royal Highness the Sixth was born in the official prison, it was seen by Lord Taiwei with his own eyes, and the jailers have also confirmed that the month and day of birth have also been checked, and it is indeed Mrs. Hui who is pregnant in the palace, how can it be fake?!"

The other came out again and sneered: "Lord Lang Zhongling, don't you forget, the reason why Lord Taiwei is Lord Taiwei is not because of the existence of His Royal Highness the Sixth? Someone revealed that Lord Yubing back then once replaced Mrs. Hui's child with a dead baby, so as to hide people's eyes and ears and ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Liu. But now that I think about it, who replaced whom, and who really knows?"

If he was wronged, or if he was really not the prince, he would not be sorry for the position of the crown prince, and his brother would save this life, but... The Queen Mother, will you be sad, right? And the Lord Taiwei... This is a great sin for the Nine Clans!

At this time, everyone looked at Tai Wei, and saw him say in a bloody manner: "Your Majesty Mingjian! Weichen is a minister, he has never had the slightest selfish intention! This heart can show the sun and the moon! If there is the slightest disobedience, then call me five thunders to the top, and I will not die well!"

Another person said quietly: "What is the oath, I am afraid that no one knows about the events of the year except yourself." At this time, even if you cut out a heart, it is useless! Royal blood, supreme, if there is a mistake or omission, how can you get it!!"

The captain had nothing to say, threw himself to the ground, bowed, stood up and suddenly went to pull out General Hongguang's sword, resting it on his neck and wanting to commit suicide Mingzhi!

Hongguang reacted quickly, snatched it down, and said bitterly: "Absolutely not! If you don't spare your life to clear up your grievances, your family will be buried together! How can you be willing?!"

The lieutenant was stunned on the spot.

At this time, his fourth brother Liurun spoke: "Father, the son remembers that the sixth brother has a few retinues who have been together since childhood, why don't you ask the edict, maybe you can know something." ”

Liuyun replied gloomily, "They... When I was picked up, I was intercepted, and I didn't survive. ”

The ministers listened to the whispered discussion, and vaguely heard it, "This is probably killing people and destroying mouths!"

The emperor snorted coldly, and Mu Ran spoke: "If you say what you say, what should you do?"

The imperial history took a step forward and said: "When Fang Cai was not in the court, I felt that at this time, this matter could no longer be proven, and the only way was to change the four highnesses to the crown prince, and to correct the country, and the six highnesses were not guilty... should be demoted to a commoner, Lord Taiwei... It's up to His Majesty to decide!"

General Hongguang reprimanded: "Lord Yushi is so majestic! This is the way to kill the wrong one rather than let it go! The decision to kill and kill is inevitably too much! Degraded to a commoner? If you wronged the Sixth Highness and mistaken our court, you can't afford to pay for the heads of the whole clan tied together!!"

That Lang Zhongling echoed again: "Besides, Lord Xingguan also said that the auspicious rain from the sky is for great luck! The six princes returned that day, just in response to the hexagram, the lord of the world, how could it not be royal blood!"

The third prince came out and said: "Father, this matter is not trivial, the sixth brother has suffered since he was a child, but he can't suffer such an injustice again, please let my father know!"

When the emperor heard what he said, he became even more angry: "Look at you, you are full of wine...! You don't need to go back here!"

Liuyu replied awkwardly and went out. Liuyun noticed that he secretly gestured to himself, pointed to the sky, and walked away.

Liuyun suddenly understood, stepped forward and said: "The son heard from his father, the divination of the star officials of this dynasty is extremely accurate, and there is no mistake or omission, it is better to invite the star official to divinate the son in public, and he will definitely be able to gain!"

The prince retorted: "If the star official calculates that you are not a dragonborn, wouldn't it prove that he deceived the king at the southern city gate that day?

"His hexagrams can't be counted, the hexagrams of the deity, maybe they can!"

Suddenly, a deafening voice sounded in the hall!

The court guards on the side also panicked, picked up their spears and said vigilantly: "Protect Your Majesty!"

Liuyun also immediately stood in front of his father, the emperor, with his arms outstretched, to protect him.

The ministers couldn't find the source of the voice, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound!

Only the emperor asked in a deep voice: "What kind of demons and monsters dare to make waves here, I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be afraid of you?

In the sky above the main hall, between the civil and military ministers, a gust of wind suddenly swirled, and a figure flashed. How can it be?!

It's the wind!

At that moment, I was shocked and overjoyed, and I was not afraid of anything, so I immediately knelt down and shouted: "I have seen Little Master!"

Feng Qisi stood in the air, and the ministers around him were surprised to see it clearly, and at this time, something that made Liuyun even more surprised happened!

Among the officials present, regardless of civil and military, including Lang Zhongling, there were nearly 100 ministers, all of whom were happy, regardless of the crowd, and walked forward to bow to the wind, only to hear these nearly 100 people shouting in unison:

"Disciple meets Little Master!!"
