Chapter 42: Fearful Words
Weiyang Palace, Yilan Palace.
When Liuyun saw his father put down the pen in his hand, he looked up and asked, "Have you gone to see the Queen Mother?"
Liuyun was red with his nose, obviously crying. He replied in a buzzing voice: "I saw my grandmother's health beauties. My son was very happy. I just saw him in a hurry and could not speak more. I hope to get the grace of my father and go to see my grandmother more in the future to fulfill his filial piety."
The emperor was silent for a while, threw down his pen, stood up and sighed, "You have grown up and you can't live in the old residence of the harem. You will temporarily live in the Qingge Bieyuan. After the royal palace is renovated, you will move in. After this, all the ministers have already placed high hopes for you. I hope you will pay more attention to the overall situation of politics in the future. It is easy to be a king's way to succeed. It is difficult to keep merits. Keeping our ancestors' country and expanding new territory in the borders is a must-have for the emperor. In a few days, I will tell the world that you will be the crown prince. Don't miss the responsibility and major affairs of your children because of your heart. Now that you have more worries and problems for your father and emperor, it is equivalent to fulfilling filial piety to the empress dowager."
Liuyun thought to himself that everyone now thinks that auspiciousness was his glory, but after all, it is not. Besides, he actually doesn’t want to be this hard-working emperor at all. If he is appointed as the crown prince, it will be too late to regret it!
Thinking of this, he carefully replied to his father:
"Actually, the fourth brother is both civil and military, and there are many people who hope that the son minister privately thinks that he is not as good as him. The son minister has never thought about the position of the prince. Can you ask the father to think about it again?"
His father's expression changed, Liuyun was so scared that he knelt down immediately. His father pointed at him and was about to speak, when he heard the inner official report: "Madam Xia asked for a meeting."
After hearing this, the emperor looked a little calmer and raised his hand to signal her to come in.
Liuyun thought to himself: "It was that Mrs. Xia. After the fifth brother Liuyan died, Mrs. Xia not only did not fall out of favor, but now it seems that she is more pity."
Liuyun first smelled a quiet fragrance, as if the smell of lilies in the mountains, then heard a gentle footsteps, and saw a dress of autumn fragrance beside him. A soft and gentle voice sounded: "I wish you goodbye to Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a long time to be happy."
"Madam, get up, why are you here?"
"When I saw the great heat, Your Majesty has been sad recently. I was really worried, so I stewed some lotus seeds and red dates with my own hands and brought them to Your Majesty."
Liuyun didn't dare to raise his eyes and heard his father say, "Thank you for so many years, fortunately you are by my side to treat each other sincerely, so put it on the table. Today, I will go to Chaolu Palace to accompany you. If you have something to do now, you can go back to the palace first!"
"Yes~" Mrs. Xia agreed, put down the soup in her hand, turned around and paused, and asked softly: "Is this the Sixth Prince, right?"
"That's right, oh you haven't met yet, Liuyun, this is Mrs. Xia."
Liuyun then stood up, bowed and asked, "Liuyun has seen Mrs. Xia."
The Madam Xia smiled sweetly, with a straightforward manner, and replied with a bow: "As the rumor said, I am very handsome and unrestrained, I am a little more heroic than the Emperor Majesty when I first met me. But why did it seem like I had cried? The poor child must have seen the Queen Mother. In fact, if the Queen Mother could live in the villa for a few days, it would be nothing."
His father seemed to recall the past, and his voice became softer: "Okay, Fusheng, the soup is delivered, and people have seen it. You can go back to the palace to rest, don't work too hard."
Liuyun felt a good impression when she heard her talking for her. She looked up and saw that Mrs. Xia was indeed as good as her voice. As she said, she was already over thirty years old, but she looked very young, with gentle and generous manners, and was not as reserved as ordinary palace servants, smiling and smiling, with a unique charm.
At this time, Mrs. Xia took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, when I came here just now, I saw a group of ministers kneeling in the front hall, and some people rushed to join one after another. I looked very anxious and didn't know why. I couldn't interfere inquiries. I just hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon body to take back!"
Liuyun saw his father asking the inner official: "What's the matter with the front hall?"
The inner official stepped forward and said a few words. The emperor's face gradually turned pale, and sweat also oozed out, and his eyes looked straight at Liuyun.
Liuyun had an ominous premonition that something happened!
At this time, his father ordered: "Liuyun, follow me to the main hall!"
When Liuyun came to the hall, a large group of people were already standing in the hall.
There are his third brother Liuheng, fourth brother Liurun, third princes and nine ministers, royal relatives, clan relatives who have never been to court, and general Hongguang is also there.
The other three ranks and below were all kneeling outside the door.
Although there are so many people here, they are silent and strangely quiet.
After accepting the kneeling, the emperor asked, "It's not yet time for the court, why are all the beloved ministers so anxious?"
All the ministers 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 desk and threw it down, hitting the censor's feet, scaring everyone to kneel down again. He only heard every word of his words: "After this battle, what else can I not listen to? Prime Minister! You say!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief just now, and the prime minister said, "Since yesterday, there have been various rumors outside the palace."
He wiped his sweat and made a lot of determination and continued: "To talk about the Sixth Prince, it may not be because His Majesty's biological background is unknown, and his bloodline is doubtful!"
"Bold!" the emperor scolded, "Who dares to spread rumors in Kyoto? Let me investigate this matter thoroughly! All those who spread rumors will be beheaded and displayed in public!"
"Yes! This matter must be investigated strictly!"
At this time, a man with the appearance of a prince came out and said, "Your Majesty, although it is a rumor, it has been known to everyone. If you cannot take this opportunity to restore the innocence of Your Highness, I am afraid that it will be even more inappropriate in the future!"
A military officer came out and said, "Prince, the Sixth Prince was born in the official prison, which was seen by the Grand Marshal with his own eyes. The prisoners also confirmed that the month and day of birth had been checked. It was indeed Mrs. Hui who was pregnant in the palace, so how could there be a falsehood?!"
Another came out to answer and sneered, "Doctor Ling, don't forget that the reason why the Taiwei is the Taiwei is because of the existence of the Sixth Prince? Someone revealed that Lord Yubing used a dead baby to replace Mrs. Hui's child before, and then he covered up his eyes and ensured that the Sixth Prince was safe. But now I think about it, who replaced whom, and who can really know?"
Liuyun's head buzzed! I knew it was not good! If he was wronged, or if he was really not a prince, he would not have any regrets about his position as the prince. His righteous brother would have to save this life, but the empress dowager would be very sad, right? And the Grand Marshal would definitely lose his life! This is a serious crime to kill the nine clans!
At this time, everyone looked at the Taiwei, and saw him say with bloody words: "Your Majesty! I am a minister, and I am brave, and I have no selfishness! This heart can be a clear idea of the sun and the moon! If I have the heart to be unjust, I will call me the top of the five thunders and will not be able to end well!"
Another person said quietly: "What is it to swear? No one knows what happened back then except yourself. Even if you have a heart to read it, it is useless! Royal bloodline is supreme. If there is any mistake, what is the difference!!"
The Taiwei had nothing to say, prostrated himself, bowed, stood up, suddenly pulled General Hongguang's sword, put it on his neck to commit suicide!
Hongguang reacted quickly, and took it away with one hand, and said heartbrokenly: "No! If you don't leave your life to clear your grievances, your family will be buried with you! How can you be willing?!"
The Grand Marshal was stunned on the spot.
At this time, his fourth brother Liurun spoke: "Father, my son remember that my sixth brother has several followers who have been with me since childhood. Why not ask me if I ask me, maybe I can know what."
Liuyun replied disdainfully: "When they picked me up, they were intercepted and killed, and they never lived."
After hearing this, the ministers began to talk in a low voice, and vaguely heard, "This is probably just a murder to silence!"
The emperor snorted coldly and spoke blankly: "What should we do if you say?"
The Censor went to the front and said, "When I had just arrived at the court, I felt that this matter could not be proved at this time. The only way was to change the Fourth Highness to the Crown Prince to reign the country's destiny. Those who do not know the Sixth Highness should be demoted to common people. The Grand Marshal will be personally decisive! "
General Hongguang rebuked: "The Censor is so powerful! This is why you would rather kill the wrong person than let him go! The decision to kill and attack is too much! Demolished to a commoner? If you wrongly accuse the Sixth Prince and misunderstand our court, you will not be able to afford to tie the heads of your clan together!!"
The doctor-in-law agreed and said, "That's right! Besides, Lord Xingguan also said that auspiciousness from heaven is for great good luck! The sixth prince returned that day and responded to the hexagram. How could the Lord of Anshi be not from royal blood!"
The third prince Liu Heng came out and said, "Father, this matter is not a small matter. The sixth brother has suffered since he was a child. He can no longer suffer such an injustice. Please observe it clearly!"
When the emperor heard him say this, he became even more angry: "Look at you, you are full of alcohol! You don't forget to talk to others! You don't need you here! Get back!"
Liu Heng responded awkwardly and went out. Liu Yun noticed that he secretly signaled himself, pointed to the sky, and then walked away with a sway.
Liuyun suddenly realized it and went up to say, "I heard from my father that the star officials in this dynasty are extremely accurate in divination, and there are no mistakes and no mistakes. It is better to invite the star officials to divine divination for my son in public, and you will definitely gain something!"
The prince retorted: "If the Star Official calculates that you are not a dragon descendant, wouldn't it prove that he deceived the emperor in the South City Gate that day? How can he take his hexagram seriously now?!"
"His hexagram cannot be counted, but the original hexagram may be fine!"
A deafening sound suddenly sounded in the hall!
The guards on the side were also panicked, picked up their spears and said vigilantly: "Protect Your Majesty!"
Liuyun immediately stood in front of his father, spread his arms to protect him.
The ministers could not find the source of the sound, and they were so scared that they dared not speak!
Only the emperor asked in a deep voice: "What kind of demons and monsters dare to make trouble here? I am the emperor, how could I be afraid of you? I haven't appeared yet?!"
In the sky above the hall, a gust of wind suddenly spun out between the civil and military ministers, and a figure flashed out. Liuyun calmed down and saw how could that person be?!
It's the wind!
At the moment, I was shocked and didn't fear anything. I immediately knelt down and shouted: "I've seen the little master!"
Feng Qisi stood in the air, and some of the ministers around him had secretly seen it clearly, and they were all surprised. At this time, something that surprised Liuyun and the others even more happened!
Among the officials present, there were nearly a hundred ministers, including the doctor, including the civil and military officials. They all showed joy. They lined up all the people regardless of their concern and bowed to Feng Qisi. The nearly one hundred people shouted:
Chapter completed!
