Zhao Chong was heartbroken and looked at Xiao Xuanrui with great pity: "Rui'er, it is understandable that you do this. You have always been kind and generous, and I naturally know your painstaking efforts. However, the people in the General's Mansion cannot take it for granted. You are here to kneel without asking anything. People from the General's Palace should set up a separate white shed and lay a futon for you as a mourner..." "They are ignoring you as a king. This is not an attack on the royal family. Are you trying to shame His Majesty? When I came here in the morning, Your Majesty was already angry... Now, you have been kneeling here all day and night. The wind and cold are blowing, and even your iron body cannot stand it. The disaster caused by Xiao Xuanyi, Why do the people in the General's Mansion direct their anger at you, Rui'er? I'm afraid, they don't want to express their anger at you, Rui'er, but they blame Your Majesty in their hearts..." Zhao Chong's words are not unimportant. He went directly to the emperor. The courtiers standing around all whispered in agreement. They were all from the lineage of King Rui, and they all followed Zhao Chong, the right prime minister. What was Zhao Chong's plan this time? How could they not know? The right prime minister and King Rui's operation was nothing more than to discredit the General's Mansion among the people, so as to enhance the prestige of King Rui and the Zhao family. There were some people planted by Zhao Chong in the crowd, deliberately guiding the direction of the wind and inducing the people. "Right Mr. Xiang is right, the people in the General's Mansion are blatantly despising the royal family... Prince Rui is too easy to talk to. The responsibility for the death of General Zhenguo and the Yun Family Army does not lie with Prince Rui. The people in the General's Mansion are just angry. King Yu Rui, isn’t this a little unreasonable?”

"I'm afraid it's like what the right minister said. He is not angry with Prince Rui, but he is dissatisfied with the emperor." "The emperor has already punished Xiao Xuanyi, and Xiao Xuanyi also committed suicide out of fear of crime. Your Majesty lost a son for this, which can be regarded as selfless. Kuang supports justice. Now that this matter has been settled, what else do the people in the General's Mansion want? Do they really want to force King Rui to death again and let His Majesty kill all his sons? "

"Shh, you can't say such things out loud, lest you get into trouble. I heard that Your Majesty heard that Xiao Xuanyi died. He has been ill today and has been bedridden."

"After all, he is his own son. Your Majesty is also made of flesh and blood. How can you not feel sad?"

"The General's Mansion really shouldn't push too far and force Prince Rui too much..." "That's right, that's right... now that the case has been clearly heard, we really shouldn't hold on to it..." Xiao Xuanrui lowered his head and listened to the people. Whispering, there was a dark smile in his eyes. Zhao Chong sighed and helped Xiao Xuanrui to stand up: "Rui'er, get up. The General's Mansion is so rude to you. I think even if you kneel to death here, they will I won’t accept your favor.”

"His Majesty is ill now. As a prince, you should enter the palace to attend to your illness... You must comfort your loyal ministers, but you must not lose your filial piety."

Xiao Xuanrui knelt for a day and a night, which was almost the limit of his body. He had no intention of continuing to kneel, otherwise, his life would be at stake here. Now, his grandfather paved a step for him, and he Naturally, we have to follow the trend. The emperor is sick and has to go to the palace to take care of his illness. This is the best step. Xiao Xuanrui raised his head and looked at Zhao Chong with worry: "Grandpa, is my father's illness serious? I am really unfilial. , I only learned about it now..." Zhao Chong patted the back of his hand: "It's too late to know now... Hurry up and visit His Majesty in the palace. Your Majesty also feels sorry for you. You have knelt here all day and night, and you have done nothing to the town. The sincerity of the general is enough..." Xiao Xuanrui's eyes turned red and he nodded slowly. His legs and feet were weak. He leaned on Zhao Chong and stood up slowly. "If my father hadn't been ill, I would still have to do it. Just continue to kneel down. Forget it, when General Zhenguo is buried, I will come to pay his respects."

Perhaps he had been kneeling for too long, and his legs hurt like needles. As soon as he stood up, he was about to fall to the ground again. Chu Ying quickly stepped forward to help Zhao Chong, and then stabilized Xiao Xuanrui's figure. The people around him Seeing that King Rui had endured such great suffering, they all lamented that King Rui lived up to his reputation as a virtuous man... For a time, King Rui's reputation unknowingly increased a lot. All this hard work was not in vain. After the goal was achieved, Xiao Xuanrui naturally would not stay and continue to suffer. Chu Ying supported him and was about to climb onto the carriage when Xiao Tingyan put his hands behind his back and stepped out of the house Shi Shiran. "Emperor's nephew, this is Do you want to leave? That's right. Isn't this kind of pain a prince like you can bear? If you leave, the people in the general's palace will be relieved. After all, you are the prince. No matter what you want to do, others will think it's inappropriate. There’s nothing I can do to stop you.”

"However, what the right minister just said is obviously misleading. As the fiancé of Taiping County Lord, I have the responsibility to explain some specific circumstances to everyone."

Xiao Xuanrui's body froze, and he slowly turned to look at Xiao Tingyan. "What does the emperor mean by this?"

Xiao Tingyan didn't even look at him, but called Butler Yun over. "Butler Yun, please explain to everyone what happened yesterday. Don't let anyone take an opportunity to deliberately blame the general's house. .It seems that the General's Mansion has never disrespected the royal family or the emperor, right?"

Butler Yun's eyes were red. He knelt on the ground and spoke slowly and sincerely: "Yesterday, King Rui came to the door of the General's Mansion. Without saying a word, he knelt in front of the door, saying that he wanted to atone for his sins and to serve the General. Although our fourth lady didn't say anything at the time, she ordered the old slave to persuade the prince to let him go back..." "The prince is so noble and noble, how can he watch the general's funeral, how can he ruin himself like this? Old slave. He came here to persuade the prince and arranged some care arrangements. Who knew that the prince would not even look at the old slave? The guard next to him even slapped the old slave. He told the old slave not to meddle in other people's business. It’s the prince who is using the cruel trick to gain sympathy and pity from the public and win over the people.”
