"What did you say?

The prince, who heard the news in the prince's study, almost jumped up from behind the desk.

"Why did you die?"

Then the prince came out from behind the table, and almost fell down, and when Lord Sishang heard the news from the officials, the folds had already been handed over, and the world was announced in these days.

Lord Shang wanted to reach out to support the prince, but the prince took a step back and held the table, and the ink in the inkstone on the table was shaken out and sprinkled on the rice paper, slowly penetrating.

"Really?"

The prince tried to calm his mind, walked up to Lord Shang and asked.

The excerpt was handed to the ministry, and the lower officials were afraid that they had heard it wrong and ran to ask Master Gu, this matter is true, and now the excerpt is estimated to have gone to the palace, and His Majesty should have known about it at this time. ”

Lord Shang lowered his head and did not dare to look at the prince.

"You go down first. ”

The prince waved his hand to let Master Shang leave first, and he himself collapsed on his seat again, and he didn't recover for a long time.

How many times has the prince hated to strangle the third child with his own hands.

The power of the three princes in the court ministers is almost the same as that of the prince, the two have been fighting with each other for so many years, if you get involved in taxation, I will control the luck, if you install cronies, I will recommend protégés, and if you make friends with powerful people, I will give hundreds of officials.

The two of them did not give in to each other, fighting openly and secretly in the dark, and the prince regarded the three princes as the biggest opponent in these years, and it was also a thorn that made him the most jealous, a thorn that hurts when he thinks about it when he is pierced into the flesh.

But this thorn was suddenly gone, not pulled out by his own hands, not defeated by himself, it was just gone, and he died in a foreign land, in the hands of the remnants of Disha.

On the wooden shelf on the side of the study, there was also a treasure knife given by the third child on his birthday, and he said on the spot that he wanted the prince to practice his fists and feet more, and the weak scholar who had no power to restrain the chicken had weak shoulders, but he couldn't bear such a heavy burden as Qiyuan.

The sarcasm of that day is still vivid in the prince's mind, and he placed the sword in the most conspicuous position in the study, in order to always be vigilant and spur himself.

But the third child, who seemed to be cynical but wanted to fight everywhere, was gone, and the prince suddenly felt that his heart was a little empty.

With a click, a transparent "water droplet" fell on the rice paper on the table and fell into the spilled ink.

"Someone, someone!"

Suddenly there was a loud roar from the prince in the prince's study.

The personal chamberlain has been guarding the outside of the study but was taken aback, and the impression is that the prince has always been the kind of character who is not chaotic, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, his face will not change, but there are too many other things mixed in the sound of "coming".

"What does the master command?"

The chamberlain pushed the door in, only to see the prince sitting behind the desk, tears raining down.

"Go to Xingqing Palace and see my father. ”

Xingqing Palace, inside the Xingqing Palace.

Li Xian sat on the dragon chair, and in the hall stood Wang Yangming, Yang Wenyuan, and Gu'an.

The excerpt was handed over by Gu'an, the three princes and the eldest grandson Xuanji died in the hands of Mu Sanqian, and the bodies of the two of them were found on the border between Xishu and Qiyuan, and the border army had put the corpses into temporary coffins and sent them back to Tai'an City quickly, and they would arrive in a few days.

This matter has exploded in the three provinces and six departments, and when Gu'an sent the fold, the emperor was the one who knew about it relatively late.

After reading the fold in his hand, Li Xian trembled and closed the fold in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of the hand holding the fold burst out, and the whole body under the dragon cannon was constantly shivering.

"Your Majesty?"

Yang Wenyuan and Wang Mingyang had been staying in the Xingqing Hall from morning to night to discuss with Li Xian about the two ways of Southern Chu and Guangling, so they didn't know what was written on the fold, but when they saw that His Majesty's expression changed greatly after reading the fold, they faintly felt that something important was happening.

"Ministers, go out first. ”

Li Xian's throat moved up and down, but he was never able to speak, but just waved his hand to signal the three of them to go out first.

The inner supervisor on the side had lively eyes, and took a step forward to persuade the three adults to go out first, so that His Majesty would stay alone.

"What happened to Master Gu, why did Your Majesty look like this?"

After going out of Xingqing Palace, Yang Wenyuan hurriedly pulled Gu'an and asked.

"The Three Princes—"

Gu An sighed, and before he finished speaking, he heard a cry of grief coming from the Xingqing Palace.

"How is the Third Prince?"

Almost at the same time, the three of them turned around and stared at the Xingqing Hall with the door closed.

"The three princes and the national prince went to Xishu to intercept and kill Mu Sanqian, but they didn't think about it, but they broke it in Mu Sanqian's hands, and the bodies of the two were found on the border of Xishu, and the three princes and the country's father-in-law were gone. ”

Gu An sighed, Qiyuan has not been very peaceful in recent years, Sang Haiyun came to the city to say that thing, the remnants of Nanchu have revived, I didn't expect that now His Majesty will have to experience the pain of losing a child.

"It's a tough time. ”

Wang Mingyang also sighed with emotion.

"Let's go and prepare, two adults, and at this time, we will have to share more for Your Majesty. ”

The three of them encouraged each other and left.

Soon after the three of them left, the prince came to the Xingqing Palace, and there was no movement in the Xingqing Palace at this time.

The inner prison went to report it, and Li Xianjun blocked the prince from the palace.

The prince did not leave, but knelt outside the Xingqing Hall and waited, so kneeling for most of the day, the inner supervisor couldn't bear to report again, but His Majesty still didn't want to see the prince.

"Your Highness, you have been kneeling until night, Your Majesty is in a bad mood now, you better go back first. ”

The inner supervisor saw that one of the two men was silent in the hall, and it was not late to eat, and the other knelt outside the hall and refused to leave, and they were both stubborn.

The prince also spoke, and it was not until after night that he fainted outside the temple because of his weak bones, and then he was carried away to call the imperial doctor.

The next day, the corpses of the three princes and the father-in-law arrived in Tai'an City, and the horn of the rhino horn in the palace sounded for a long time, announcing to the world.

The three princes were buried in the imperial mausoleum with the prince's gift, the emperor dropped out of the dynasty for three days, the whole country was vegetarian, the coffin was carried by eighty, all wore green satin embroidered lion group flowers, the golden coffin was buried, the prince was below the royal family, the prince was below the royal family, and the officials above the rank of the captain were under the princess, and the harem ladies were gathered in the palace, and the sacrifices were made twice a day.

After the funeral, the early court was resumed, and the civil and military officials were still dressed in plain clothes.

The emperor entered the palace with the support of the inner eunuch, and it seemed that overnight, the emperor who pointed out the country became an old man with pale hair.

After sitting on the dragon chair, Li Xian waved his hand and motioned for the inner supervisor to read out the first thing after the opening of the court.

The third prince Li Yu is loyal and brave, kind to the ministers, filial piety and virtuous, is a model, posthumously crowned the first-class prince, Qi Yong, and the tomb of King Qiyuan Yong is engraved.
