The emperor closed his eyes. Empress Yuanming was his first wife. The two had three sons, and the first two were lost in the seizure.
Isn't he sad? Naturally he was sad, if not, he would not have favored the prince so much, he would have made him the prince when he was young, sought out a famous teacher to teach him, hoped that he would become a talent, and hoped that he would inherit the country and society that his ancestors had laid down.
But he prefers the crown prince, but also hates him for not living up to expectations!
As long as he is more aggressive, the emperor will not be so uncomfortable.
He is getting old, and his body is not as good as before, but there is not even a person who can take his place. Can you not make him feel sad? !
The emperor closed his eyes.
Seeing the change in the emperor's face, Master Huang felt that his words were effective, so he hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty and the Empress, now there is only the Crown Prince alone. If the Empress and the two princes have souls in heaven, they will definitely feel sad!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is the fault of the minister, please forgive the prince! You must not treat the prince like this!"
Master Huang kowtowed to the emperor a few times as he said that, tears streaming down his face, coupled with his face that was beaten blue and purple, he looked very embarrassed and pitiful.
In fact, Lord Huang is not that noble, he is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the prince, but after all he is on the boat of the prince. If the prince capsizes, he will have no good end. There must be a day of recovery.
The emperor loved his wife, the Empress Yuan, who had died young, and preferred the prince. It was precisely because of this that when the prince's family was in ruins and Zhao Guifei and Zhao's family were in full swing, the prince's position as the crown prince was still as stable as Mount Tai.
But if the prince made a mistake, was disgusted by the emperor, and was imprisoned in the East Palace for self-reflection, the situation would be delicate.
Those who originally worked for the prince will definitely worry about whether the emperor hates the prince and plans to abolish him, and they will inevitably have two hearts at that time.
Even if this matter can pass in the future, it will be difficult to return to the past.
Therefore, no matter whether it is for himself or for the crown prince, Mr. Huang cannot watch such a thing happen.
"Your Majesty! Please forgive the prince!"
The crown prince looked at Lord Huang who was pleading for him, then looked at the emperor who had his eyes closed, and begged hurriedly: "Father, I really know that I was wrong, please forgive me this time. "
"In the future, my ministers will definitely love the people and brothers, and will not let the emperor down."
"Father, please spare my son this time!"
The emperor waited for a long time, then opened his eyes, and then looked at the prince. The prince raised his head and met the emperor's gaze. He was pleasantly surprised, and then he smiled and shouted: "Father emperor."
The emperor's face turned cold again in an instant, and he pondered: "Since you know your mistake, I will give you this chance."
The prince was surprised for a while, and was about to say something, but he heard the emperor say: "You should reflect on yourself in the East Palace. I will allow you to write a letter in three days. When will you know where you are wrong, how much you have made, and how to correct it, I will let you know." let you out."
The prince's expression of surprise froze in an instant, and he said in disbelief: "Father, Father Emperor"
He really couldn't figure it out, the emperor wasn't willing to forgive him this time because his mother and two elder brothers died early.
The emperor stood up and looked down at the prince: "If you did something wrong, I am willing to forgive you once, but I also want you to know where you went wrong, so that you will not do it again in the future."
The prince was about to say something, but saw the emperor raised his hand, telling him not to say any more, he said: "Go, when will you think it over clearly, and when will you come out again, I will wait for you."
The emperor's words have come to this point, if the prince continues to entangle, it will arouse the emperor's boredom and disgust.
Until now, he can only agree. Fortunately, the emperor is still protecting him, so even if something happens, he can take care of it when he comes out.
So the prince kowtowed to the emperor and said sincerely: "I will remember my father's teachings, and I will definitely reflect on my mistakes and strive to come out as soon as possible to do business for my father."
The emperor closed his eyes: "Go."
So the prince and Master Huang didn't struggle, and left with the people who came to escort them. Master Huang was uneasy, and was frightened by the emperor. After walking a few steps, he found that his legs were very weak.
After leaving the gate of the palace, he looked at the sky outside, and for a moment he didn't know where he was.
"Cousin." The prince stopped him, "Thank you, cousin, for speaking up for Gu. What happened today is because Gu has troubled Cousin."Uncle, don't worry, cousin, I won't forget my cousin in the lonely day. "
"Okay, okay, it's good that His Highness remembers me."
After the prince said this, he followed the people arranged by the emperor to the East Palace. Looking at the prince's back, Mr. Huang always felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
On that day, the gate of the East Palace was closed, and His Majesty's order came out, asking the prince to reflect in the East Palace.
As soon as this matter got out, the case of Qingfeng Bieyuan was pushed to its peak.
There was discussion in the imperial city, whether this matter was done by the crown prince, and the emperor asked him to stay in the East Palace to reflect on it in order to punish him.
Then he talked about the matter of Li Lin. The governor of Jingzhao Mansion went to arrest Li Lin before, but now Li Lin is staying in his yard safely. Is it because this matter has nothing to do with him in the first place? If not, Jingzhao Mansion Yin has already come up to fetch people.
People in the imperial city were talking about this matter, but King Sui was very dissatisfied with the handling of this matter.
Although the prince was imprisoned in the East Palace, the situation was of great benefit to him, but the prince ruined Qingfeng Bieyuan, ruined his plan, and made him very angry.
"Have the people sent to Qingzhou come back yet?!" King Sui asked to investigate the prince's accumulation of wealth and taxation in Qingzhou.
The entourage on the side said: "Go back to the prince, there is news that some evidence has indeed been found, and it will take a few days to see the matter thoroughly."
King Sui was a little unhappy, but he thought it would only take a few days, so he endured a little, and he snorted coldly: "Let him rest in peace for a few days."
At that time, the evidence will be handed over, even if the emperor wants to protect his son, the crown prince will not be able to sit securely.
King Sui remembered another matter, so he ordered: "You send someone to check on that Li Jingyuan. I always feel that there is something wrong with this Li Jingyuan." King Sui really felt strange, "What happened at noon today? , How could Uncle Huang meddle in to protect a small Juren?!"
"Furthermore, he hurried into the palace to report to Emperor Ming, who dispatched Zhou guards so quickly, and summoned Yin of Jingzhao Mansion to enter the palace with an imperial order."
"This king always feels that this matter is abnormal. This Li Jingyuan must have a secret that others don't know. Maybe the father and uncle know it."
