The prince was sitting in the courtyard drinking. There were several empty wine bottles on the stone table in front of him, which represented his irritable mood at the moment.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!
Of course, if you win, you can say anything. Once you lose, you may lose your position as the prince, and you have to say whether you can survive.
The two results with huge contrast were displayed in front of him. The closer the result was, the more nervous the prince became. The more nervous he was, the more he wanted to drink.
The shouts of killing outside the palace became smaller and smaller until they disappeared completely. The prince who was sitting there knew that the matter should come to an end. Especially when he heard the footsteps outside the palace, his whole body became nervous. Shivering, he didn't know whether he was waiting for the throne or a prison.
In an anxious mood, the visitor finally walked into the Yaohua Palace, and the leader also caught the eye of the prince. "Plop!" An empty wine bottle was knocked down by the prince's violent movements. On the ground, there was a crisp sound of tinkling.
The person who came was Yan Fu, the chief eunuch, and his appearance had already told the prince the result. If something happened to Emperor Qianwen, the eunuch would still be captured and imprisoned even if he did not die, but he could still appear in his own house intact. In front of you, the final result has been explained.
All the actions of the prince fell in Yan Fu's eyes. Seeing the prince being so unstable, after he appeared, his face turned horribly pale, and he sighed. With such a mind, he still wanted to fight with Emperor Qianwen and King Jin. Even if they win, it will only be a temporary victory at best, and it is impossible to defend the country.
"Take him to the prison and take good care of him." Yan Fu spoke, deciding the prince's fate with one word.
Not far away, in the main wing of Yaohua Palace, a heartbreaking voice also sounded, "No, the prince is still young and ignorant. It's all because I, the mother-in-law, didn't have a good education. Please, Eunuch Yan, send a message to the emperor: I am guilty, please let the prince go."
Concubine Li Huang finally came to her senses. That glass of wine was not very toxic, it was just to make Emperor Qianwen coma. For the prince, a living Emperor Qianwen was more important before he ascended the throne.
He clearly heard the shouts of Concubine Li Huang, but Yan Fuwei acted as if he hadn't heard them. He waved his hand to the golden armored guard following him, and the prince, who was like a puddle of mud, was lifted up and dragged like a dog to death. He dragged him out of the Yaohua Palace, leaving only a few empty wine bottles, as if telling people that all this was not a dream, but reality.
...
Tai Chi Hall.
It finally dawned, and Emperor Qianwen was sitting on the golden dragon chair, with an extremely serious face, accepting the worship of hundreds of officials.
It seems that the courtiers are kowtowing and saying long live as usual, but if you look carefully, you can still see that many people have dark circles under their eyes, obviously they have been up all night. Some people have panic on their faces, obviously emotional. and thoughts have not yet come out of last night's chaos.
Shen Ao was standing in a purple robe among the courtiers, still very far back, and the dragon pillar was right beside him.
The only difference from before is that there is a general wearing a dark green official robe standing beside him. This is the official uniform that represents the marquis. Who else could this man be if he were not Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi?
In contrast, although Shen Yunyi had not slept all night, his mental state was very good. He was worthy of being a representative figure among the generals. The scene last night was not taken seriously by him, but he saw Shen Yunyi just before entering the palace. When he was proud, his eyes showed concern and worry.
Shen Yunyi was still very angry when he learned that the great master Shentu entered the palace disguised as a eunuch and wanted to assassinate Emperor Qianwen, but that the emperor diverted trouble to the Juhe Palace and almost killed Shen Ao. He didn't believe it. What a coincidence, it must be an intentional move by Emperor Qianwen.
Of course, Shen Yunyi would not talk to Shen Ao about these analyses. Before Aoxue gave the order, no one would publicly mention Shen Ao's life experience. Precisely because he could not tell, Shen Yunyi put this anger aside I kept it in my heart, thinking about asking Emperor Qianwen what he meant after going to court.
That's right, regardless of whether Shen Yunyi is a minister or just a marquis, he is not afraid of Emperor Wen. Especially when the matter involves Shen Ao, he dares to enter the palace to ask the emperor. His life was saved by Aoxue , he once said that he would repay Aoxue for the rest of his life. When the rightful owner is gone, Shen Ao is the one to repay his gratitude to.
Shen Yunyi was very angry. Shen Ao didn't know this. Seeing that his uncle seemed to know very well about Shen Tuwei's situation, he inquired curiously and soon learned a lot of things.
"Ao'er, you must pay attention to safety when you go out in the future. That Shen Tuwei failed twice in a row, no one knows if there will be a third time." Shen Yunyi thought about how a dignified master would attack a young man regardless of his identity. There will be energy.
"Uncle, Ao'er understands." Sensing his uncle's concern, Shen Ao agreed repeatedly. When the government affairs began, the two of them naturally couldn't discuss the issue of Shen Tuwei below, so they stood behind each other and looked at the court. changes in.
Today's court meeting was naturally different from those in the past. After the promotion of the court began, Yan Fu, the chief eunuch, did not ask anyone who had a script to report, but directly shouted to lead people. Soon, Xia Youran, Ji Cai and other princes came to the meeting. The core figures were brought into the hall, along with several other captains of the silver-armored guards, including Lu Shun and Qiu Yu.
Settle accounts after the fall!
Shen Ao already knew what happened last night from Shen Yunyi's mouth, so he naturally guessed what would happen. But it was one thing to think about it, and it was another thing to see those people kneeling on the ground with his own eyes. .
In the past, I always heard people say that in order to stabilize the government and leave a good reputation in the history books, the emperor would choose to deal with it silently even if someone below him rebelled. After all, this is not a glamorous matter, and there is no need to make people angry. Everyone knows it, allowing future generations to question the emperor's ability to control the government.
Even now, when I see that Emperor Qianwen clearly wants to make the matter public and publicly punish Xia Youran and others, I have to lament that what is recorded in history is not necessarily true, and the romance on film and television is even more nonsense. At least Qianwen Emperor Wen still had the courage to look directly at the problems in the court. Based on this, Emperor Wen was still admirable.
In fact, Emperor Qianwen was a qualified emperor. If he had to score it, he could score it at least 70 points or above. He was a man who would do anything for his rights and interests. He could abandon friendship, affection and family affection for the sake of power. Anyone who wanted to get involved He would never agree to the imperial power.
Even if that person is his son, a son he values and dares to do this, he will still adopt an iron-blooded policy to show his sanity.
Emperor Qianwen doesn't need to cover up, what he wants is an upright conspiracy, so that everyone can know what happened last night and what these kneeling courtiers did. His position is at the front, which proves that in this incident, he is also the most guilty.
"Xia Youran, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Qianwen said calmly. Several hours had passed since the assassination, and he was no longer so angry. In other words, he was still very angry, but he didn't want to let him go. People can read his thoughts.
Isn’t it important for an emperor to keep his emotions and anger hidden, so that others will be afraid of him and afraid of him, and he will never dare to disobey him?
Xia Youran knelt on the ground with his hands tied. After hearing Emperor Qianwen's accusation, he raised his head and said in a very aggrieved tone: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed, and I don't know why Your Majesty wants to tie him up." Kill me. Of course, if you let me die, I have to die. If your Majesty must kill me, I will die generously and will never frown, which will also fulfill the righteousness between you and your majesty as king and minister."
Xia Youran is worthy of being the leader of hundreds of officials. When he shoots at Zuo Pu, even though he is already a prisoner, he still speaks impassionedly. People who don't know will definitely think that he is unjust and even think that he is a minister. Role model.
These words also caused the courtiers in the hall to start talking. Some of them were really confused. Obviously they didn't know whether the attack on the imperial city last night was related to Xia Pushe, or whether it was the emperor. wrong?
"Hehe, hehe." Emperor Qianwen in the Jinluan Palace was so angry at Xia Youran's performance that he couldn't help but sneer several times.
What a Xia Youran. He knew clearly that what he did was a mortal sin. He simply did not explain or defend himself. Instead, he pretended to be wronged. He is a loyal minister. If the emperor must kill him, then kill him. That's it. Come on, you can imagine how this matter will be recorded in the history books. I am afraid that Emperor Qianwen will not be able to get away with his reputation as a foolish emperor.
In this way, even if Xia Youran dies, he can still disgust Emperor Wen. From this point of view, his purpose of revenge has been achieved.
After seeing through Xia Youran's thoughts, Emperor Qianwen sneered repeatedly. How could he not see that Xia Youran was such a shameless and shameless person before? It seems that the prince can become like this , this person has a great responsibility as the prince's teacher.
The picture of Xia Youran, who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, was ignored by Emperor Qianwen, and his eyes suddenly fell on Lu Shun, who was attached to the side.
Compared to Xia Youran, Lu Shun's bones were not that hard. He had been intimidated many times in the Silver Armor Guards' camp. When he saw Emperor Qianwen's eyes falling on him, he hurriedly spoke. He said, "I am guilty, I am guilty. I listened to the words of the prince and Xia Youran, and when the imperial city was in danger, I passed the prince's order to control the Silver Armor Guards camp, preventing them from going to the palace to reinforce, which put the emperor in trouble. We are in danger. Fortunately, Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings and nothing has happened. However, I am still wrong. I am willing to take the blame. I just hope that for the sake of Princess Biluo, I would like to ask Your Majesty to be lenient and save my life. I am willing to stay in the house and never leave the house for eternity."
