The King of Jin did not believe that Zhang Kuan had given up on him at this time, so he was about to step forward, but saw a strong man holding the Emperor's Sword stopping him, saying: "Your Highness, King of Jin, Your Majesty has ordered Uncle Dushan to discuss matters with the Left Prime Minister alone.
disturb."
"Who are you?"
"The sword-carrying guard in front of the emperor, the leader of the ghost guard, Zhang Xiaowu."
"Are you Zhang Xiaowu?"
"right."
If it were normal, King Jin would definitely test whether this ghost general is as fierce as the legend says, but now he was so anxious that he hurriedly said: "Go tell my grandpa that I have something to do with him."
Zhang Xiaowu looked at this young and handsome, but anxious and sad face, and felt that this man was too young to have a palace. As a prince, he didn't even have the most basic common sense. As expected, pride is the biggest obstacle in life. And King Jin
He thought that the Great Virtue Emperor's time was short and that people would naturally support him as emperor in the future. He became proud at a young age and ended up in his current situation.
If you want to make people die, you must first make them crazy. Perhaps the Great Virtue Emperor knew this well.
"Go tell him." King Jin said anxiously. Grandpa Zhang Kuan will definitely help him. At least he will not be exiled to the hunting ground to watch animals. King Jin has never been to the royal hunting ground since he was born. Thinking of this,
He wanted to see rabbits, tigers, and antelopes, and King Jin felt that he was one of them, waiting to be hunted by the emperor.
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, take care." After Zhang Xiaowu said this, he turned around and left.
King Jin stood in the Zhengde Hall, isolated for a long time, and suddenly thought to himself: "No, I can't sit still and wait for death. I want to meet the queen mother." He knew that Empress Dowager Zhang was protecting her shortcomings, and he was her youngest son. As the saying goes, the old son is the eldest grandson.
, Empress Dowager Zhang loves her very much and will never sit idly by.
Then King Jin ran to the entrance of the harem and wanted to rush over to see Empress Dowager Zhang. However, the person guarding the harem gate at this time was Jing Cong, the nephew of the imperial guard Li Canglan.
Jing Cong raised his hand to stop King Jin and said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Jin, you cannot enter the palace directly. Have you forgotten the rules?"
"Publish the report, report it, what time has it been? Tell me the rules!" King Jin was furious, pointed at Jing Cong's nose and shouted: "It's a matter of delaying the lonely king. Can you bear it?"
Jing Cong shook his head and said: "I can't bear to be treated, so the young general must abide by the rules and cannot enter without notification."
In the harem of the palace, there was no other man except the emperor. Even if the prince wanted to see his mother, he had to report it, and he had to be personally introduced by the imperial guards and the chief eunuch to see the queen mother. Now that the position of chief eunuch is vacant, the eunuch Gou Delu will fill it.
Take this position temporarily.
"You bastard, if you want to see your mother and queen, you have to get the consent of an eunuch. Does the eunuch want to disrupt the country?" King Jin was furious.
Jing Cong said: "Whether eunuchs will cause chaos in the country, I don't know, but I know that in the palace, everyone can be offended, and the one who can't be offended the most is Eunuch Lu."
"Hmph! Go and report!" The eunuch who delivered the message first went to the West Palace of Empress Dowager Zhang. After receiving the order, he rushed to the inner chamber to see Gou Delu, but Gou Delu was no longer there at this time. The young eunuch said that Eunuch Lu was with the emperor at the moment, and
The emperor was in the Yangxin Hall. So the eunuch sent a message to the Yangxin Hall. After Gou Delu learned about it, he immediately reported to the emperor and then rushed back to the entrance of the harem.
When Gou Delu saw King Jin, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, King Jin, His Majesty has ordered you to rush to the royal hunting grounds immediately without delaying for a moment."
"You're talking nonsense! When did the Emperor say this? I just didn't hear the Emperor say this in the main hall. Could it be that you are pretending to pass on the imperial edict?" King Jin was furious.
"Your Highness, Prince of Jin, even if we borrow ten of our family's courage, our family would not dare to falsely pass on the imperial edict!" Gou Delu said: "Your Highness, Prince of Jin, the emperor just said that Uncle Hengshui is here. The emperor asked our family to warn you.
Please tell me that King Jin must arrive in Ping'an County before tonight, otherwise the emperor will hold you accountable." Hengshui Bo is Zhang Kuan's title, but Zhang Kuan is a third-grade earl, and Dushan Bo is a second-grade earl.
"He...he...he is my royal brother." King Jin said heartbrokenly, "We are brothers from the same father and mother. How could he do this? He is so unwilling to see me?
Are you so impatient to drive me away?"
Gou Delu sighed and said: "Our family also knows, but King Jin should obey the order, otherwise the last bit of family affection between you brothers will be gone."
The King of Jin begged: "Father, can't you be accommodating? My grandpa will never ignore me. He must have said a lot of good things for me, right?"
Gou Delu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's forget it. Your Highness, Prince Jin, we don't want to lose our heads. After all, there is only one emperor in the world, and this emperor happens to be your brother."
"Wasn't he born earlier than me?" King Jin gritted his teeth with hatred and turned to leave.
Today's weather is a bit cold, it has already entered autumn, and there are still some water stains on the road that just rained. King Jin stepped on the water stains as he walked, feeling a lot of hatred in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the young master in the capital.
Man, I don't know what they will think of me. Then he thought of his teacher, and I don't know how this damn rotten scholar will arrange himself.
"I must be the emperor, I must be the emperor, why can you be the emperor, but I can't? I must be the emperor!" King Jin felt indignant.
He rushed to Prince Jin's Mansion angrily. Thinking of his royal brother's attitude towards him and his grandfather ignoring him, he vowed to let them see his ability. However, when he returned to the door of Prince Jin's Mansion, he was shocked to find that Prince Jin's Mansion
The carriage luggage had already been prepared, and even the eunuch in charge stood aside, dejected.
It turned out that someone in the palace had already sent an imperial edict, announcing that King Jin had been demoted to the royal hunting ground to guard the hunting ground. The palace must prepare all luggage and belongings on the same day and rush to Ping'an County immediately. Although everyone in the palace knew that even if King Jin guarded the hunting ground,
This job won't last long, at best it will be
It was just a warning. But everyone understood the emperor's thoughts from it. One day in the future, King Jin might even end up worse than King Chu. In the royal family, brotherhood, father-son love, and husband-wife love are all ruthless.
Even sometimes the two sides treat each other more viciously than their enemies.
The King of Jin got into the carriage in embarrassment and hurried through the inner and outer cities of Longdu. However, no one of his former friends came to see him off. Even the children of the aristocratic family and young masters who used to race horses in the inner city stayed at home honestly.
, did not want to provoke King Jin, nor did he want people to know that he was related to King Jin.
"You lackeys who follow the wind, I will skin you one day." King Jin's hatred became even stronger. He turned around and looked at the prosperous Longdu City, with infinite nostalgia for Longdu in his heart.
