Chapter 168 168

Emperor Xuande burst into tears, and everyone was shocked. Zhao Pu, who had just withdrawn from the position of prime minister, was the closest to Emperor Xuande. He looked at the eight hundred li rush that fell under his feet. Zhao Pu arched his hands toward Emperor Xuande’s back and then bent. Waist, picked up the emergency report with both hands, and stared at it, his old eyes slowly widened.

King Qin, no, the emperor who was demoted to Fangzhou actually passed away?

Zhao Pu couldn’t believe it. The emperor’s uncle was less than forty and he was a man of age, so why did he die well?

After the shock, Zhao Pu immediately felt fortunate. The emperor’s uncle intended to kill the emperor to rebel. This charge was planned by him for helping the emperor. Last year, the emperor was anxious to solve the problem of transmission. He chose a son from his sons and younger brothers, so he thought he was good. Now the emperor has no worries. The younger brother died suddenly. If the emperor remembered his brotherhood and wanted to be a good brother, wouldn’t he have to put the bills on him?

Listening to the emperor’s inability to distinguish the true from the false cry, Zhao Pu became more grateful, thanking him that the prime minister was able to withdraw in time. One day later, the emperor is afraid that he will fabricate a crime instead of letting him be honored in the name of old-age care. Three cities of Heyang.

“What’s wrong with the emperor?” Above the hall, the one who cares about the emperor the most is undoubtedly the king of Chu. When he heard his father crying “fourth brother”, a bad idea came up in his heart, and he strode to Zhao Pu. By his side, without waiting for Zhao Pu’s answer, he snatched the emergency report. At the same time, Zhao Heng, King Rui, and King Gong also gathered around dignifiedly.

As soon as Zhao Heng stood still, he saw his brother’s tiger eyes widening, his face turned blue, and his hands holding the emergency report were trembling. Then he heard the cries of his father, which is similar to the time when his cousin Wuan Junwang committed suicide. Although Zhao Heng could not believe it, But it has been basically determined that his uncle who is in the prime of life is mostly…

Before the thoughts fell, he suddenly choked when he saw the opposite brother. Zhao Heng was shocked and was about to ask. King Chu sprayed out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it all on the lap of Zhao Heng’s clothes. Some stars fell on Zhao Heng’s face. He witnessed the blood of his elder brother vomiting blood. At that moment, Zhao Heng’s mind was blank. The emperor was dead. He was able to analyze the court situation quickly and rationally. It was his brother’s turn…

“Big brother!” After a brief shock, Zhao Heng stepped forward and promptly helped his elder brother who was vomiting blood and fainting. The king of Chu was good at martial arts, his body was burly and strong, and his ground was as strong as a hill. Emperor Xuande cried halfway, and saw that the eldest son was so sad that he was vomiting blood. He was shocked at the position of the emperor in the heart of the eldest son. He was worried about the eldest son’s accident, so he didn’t care about crying. He helped the eldest son to the side hall with the three sons.

After such a big incident, the courtiers of course could not leave the court. The important officials such as Zhao Pu, Cao Yu, Guo Boyan followed to the side hall and stood in the distance, looking at the emperor and his sons with a heavy heart. Before the imperial doctor arrived, Emperor Xuande was sitting by the bed, personally helping the unconscious eldest son to wipe the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, tears on his face: “Uncle Emperor passed away, my heart is aching, if the king of Chu has three longs and two shorts, my life will be soon… …”

Up to this moment, everyone in the hall was truly certain, and the emperor had passed away.

“Sorrow for the emperor!”

Although Zhao Pu was not the prime minister, he was the most prestigious person among the courtiers, and immediately led Guo Boyan and others to kneel.

“Sorry for Father’s Day!” The three princes also knelt, and King Rui glanced at the side and saw that the third child was covered in blood, staring at the comatose King Chu with a pale face, his thin lips pressed tightly, and King Rui had no choice but to replace him. Said: “The death of the emperor, the emperor and the uncle, is also painful as a knife, but he also asks the emperor to take care of the dragon body and take care of the dragon body, and don’t be more sad.”

Emperor Xuande didn’t listen, but still cried, holding the eldest son’s hand to miss the emperor: “I’ve longed him for a long time and treated him like a father and son. If he weren’t confused and made mistakes, how could I demote him to the land of Fangzhou… He must be I blamed me, and the cruel heart left me, causing my heart to be broken, such as severed limbs, if I am older, it is okay to let him go, but your eldest brother…”

“Father, don’t tell me, you will live a long life, and your elder brother will live a long life. The emperor intends to rebel and let you down. The emperor’s father only relegated him to Fangzhou is a complete benevolence and it is not worth hurting God for the emperor. Please take care of your father!” King Rui walked forward on his knees, hugged Emperor Xuande’s thigh and cried, “Father, the emperor is gone, you still have us, you must not commit suicide!”

Xuande’s eyes finally moved from the eldest son to his second child’s face. Seeing Rui Wang’s face full of tears, Xuande’s heart felt better. The eldest son valued his emperor more, but the second child put his father and emperor first. Bit. Patting the shoulder of King Rui, Emperor Xuande looked at the two sons who were kneeling beside him.

“Father, the eldest brother is in good health. He vomited blood only when he was in a hurry. There will be nothing wrong. Don’t worry.” Prince Gong persuaded him sincerely. The emperor father now has two worries, the second brother of the emperor’s uncle has already said so, he will appease the eldest brother.

Emperor Xuande didn’t respond much, turned to the third child, and saw the blood on the chest of the third child. Emperor Xuande was startled at first. Where did the blood come from? The eldest son vomited!

And Zhao Heng didn’t say anything, but slowly turned to Emperor Xuande. In his usual indifferent and distant eyes, he finally lost his calmness and calmness. Looking carefully, there was a faint water color floating. Emperor Xuande’s heart shrank sharply, and the third child actually cried? Before marrying his wife, the youngest who broke off his seven passions and desires like a god, actually cried. When was the last time the youngest cried in front of him?

Emperor Xuande tried to think back, but couldn’t remember clearly. The man had tears but didn’t flick it lightly. His youngest cried the least. Although there are no tears now, the water color can’t deceive anyone. Why are you crying? Uncle crying? Certainly not. When the emperor’s uncle was demoted, the third child was calm and only helped him to persuade the boss. Therefore, the tears of the third child’s forbearance were shed for his brother, who was worried about his brother’s injury.

Emperor Xuande also had brothers of prostitutes, as well as the simple memories of a few brothers who went up to the tree to dig out birds together, but as early as after he decided to become the emperor of the Great Zhou, the brotherhood was not pure. Many things surpass that brotherhood. Just like seeing the emergency report, Emperor Xuande was crying sincerely, but he was happy in his heart. He was happy that the emperor died, and he could be completely relieved. In this world, no one can shake the succession qualifications of his sons. .

But now, seeing the youngest crying worriedly for the boss, remembering that old man rushed to the Chongzheng Hall and asked him why the youngest man’s palace was arranged in the outer city. It was so emotional and emotional that the depths of Emperor Xuande’s mind had long been blurred. The memory suddenly became clear, as if seeing their brother accompany his mother to eat at a table, and seeing him and his fourth brother riding a horse behind his eldest brother, hunting excitedly.

What about the emperor, the emperor is also a human being, and everyone has affection. Emperor Xuande’s vision gradually blurred, at least for the moment, the tears he shed were real. Why did the fourth brother go? Only in his thirties, Zhao Pu is still alive after more than sixty. Why did the fourth brother make such a big joke with him? The emergency report said that the emperor’s uncle was depressed and died of depression, so the fourth brother must have been there all the time. Blame him for blaming him, blaming him for his brother…

Emperor Xuande stared at his son blankly, and the tears continued to flow. Zhao Heng could see that the emperor father was really crying, and the two hard-stained tears in his eyes also rolled down. Zhao Heng was secretly surprised, and quickly erased it before King Rui and King Gong looked over, and then whispered: “Father, my sorrow. ”

The emperor Xuande didn’t care how many sorrows the King Rui, Prince Gong, and the courtiers persuaded him. Only the three words of the third child were heard by Emperor Xuande, because he knew that the third child was sincerely persuading him. The courtiers didn’t talk about it. The second child said a lot, and he should really care about him. But when the second child persuaded him, he blamed the emperor. Emperor Xuande liked to listen, but he was ashamed. There are some things that others don’t know, God. Know and know, he knows.

Only the youngest has the purest feelings.

“Don’t be afraid of Yuanxiu, your elder brother is fine.” Emperor Xuande consoled his son in turn.

Zhao Heng knew that his brother’s body shouldn’t be a serious problem. He only worried that his brother’s unintentional revealing of true feelings would offend the emperor. The emperor’s uncle would be demoted before he died young. At this time, the elder brother vomited blood for the emperor’s uncle. Would the emperor mind if he? Therefore, Zhao Heng can only show his weakness, hoping that the father can remember his brother’s innocence, remember that his brother has been affectionate since he was a child, instead of deliberately adding to his father.

“Go and change your robe.” Emperor Xuande thoughtfully and authentically.

Zhao Heng looked at his brother on the bed and shook his head.

Since the brotherhood is so deep, Emperor Xuande ignored him and told everyone to get up, no longer need to kneel, and then bowed his head, feeling sad.

The imperial physicians hurried over, and the king of Chu woke up by himself just before the imperial physician entered the hall.

“Yuan Chong.” Emperor Xuande eagerly called as soon as he grasped the eldest son’s hand.

The king of Chu stared blankly at Emperor Xuande, and glanced away. When he met his **** brother, Emperor Chu’s pupils shrank, and Emperor Xuande felt that the eldest son’s hand was tightened suddenly, as hard as he could. Like a stone. Emperor Xuande did blame his son for being partial for a while, but now he doesn’t want to care anymore, just wants his son to be well.

“Yuan Chong, the emperor passed away, I know you are uncomfortable, so I cry out, don’t hold it in my heart.” Emperor Xuande said sadly and lovingly, crying bitterly can vent the pain or resentment in his son’s heart.

King Chu stared at his father, his lips slowly trembled, and various complex emotions surged in his eyes.

King Rui clenched his fist nervously, King Chu’s lips trembled, and his heart rose a point, almost jumping to his throat, only expecting King Chu to speak quickly, quickly blame the emperor father, and be the emperor Shuhan quickly. The father’s heart.

“Father, the doctor is here.” Zhao Heng spoke at this moment, looking at his elder brother from beginning to end.

King Chu tilted his head and looked at his younger brother with implied dissuasion. Thinking of his brother’s several advices, the anger that King Chu was about to blurt out was only slightly suppressed by him, and pressed to his chest, condensed and not dispersed. The top of his head was the father’s face. King Chu didn’t want to look at it. He closed his eyes and shook his uncle in his mind for a while, Feng Zheng and his two sons, and his father and his younger brother.

“He intends to rebel, and he deserves it!”

“If you change places, the emperor will also expel your father and emperor.”

“The prince only has the emperor’s uncle in his heart, and there is no three of us?”

Father Huang’s righteous words, his brother’s calm and indifferent statement, Feng Zheng’s desperate crying and begging, ringed in his ears one after another. King Chu couldn’t hear what the doctor was saying, and he just thought about these words over and over. Whether the emperor is right or wrong is not important anymore. The emperor’s uncle is dead, and Feng Zheng’s sons are still alive. He has to think about their wives and can no longer be arrogant.

Can no longer be arrogant.

The king of Chu kept persuading himself and persuading him to persuade him, but suddenly he felt calm in his heart, as if he really didn’t care so much. Then he heard that the emperor said that he was attacking his heart with qi and blood, and he needed tranquillity.

King Chu opened his eyes.

If Emperor Xuande was aware of it, he immediately looked over.

The King of Chu said wearily: “My sons and ministers are not filial, so my father is worried.”

Emperor Xuande stared at the eldest son closely, seeing that the eldest son was still calm, he secretly relieved, pressing the eldest son’s shoulders, and said: “You have always been close to the emperor, and I am decreed to restore the emperor’s title and go back to Beijing for burial. In the past few days, you should rest in the palace with peace of mind. When the uncle’s body enters Beijing, you will take some of your brothers to the funeral.”

King Chu nodded: “I obey your orders.” After finishing speaking, he added with a complicated mood: “Thank you, Father.”

Emperor Xuande became more relieved, feeling that after this incident, the eldest son became more calm.

Worthy of being a martial artist, he vomited such a big mouthful of blood. After lying on the bed for a while, King Chu was able to get out of bed and walk around again, insisting to follow Emperor Xuande back to the court. After crying and crying, Emperor Xuande sat on the dragon chair, held the envelope and looked at it urgently for a while, then sighed, and reiterated what he had just said to the King of Chu, and decreed to restore the emperor’s uncle. The title, the remains were transported back to the capital for burial.

Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs praised the emperor’s kindness and kindness in unison.

Emperor Xuande was condescending, and his gaze swept over Guo Xiao behind Guo Boyan. Emperor Xuande moved in his heart and sighed: “The emperor passed away young, and I am in a heavy heart. To express my condolences, Princess Duanhui’s marriage will be postponed for a year. Choose another auspicious day to get married. Duke Weiguo, do you have any objections?”

Guo Boyan immediately went out and said loudly: “The emperor is magnanimous, regardless of the previous suspicions, the marriage is delayed, the ministers only admire, and there is no complaint.”

Emperor Xuande said, “That’s it.”

Guo Boyan retired to the rank of military attachés, and Guo Xiao looked down at the ground behind him, and no one could see the hint of joy hidden in his eyes.

After leaving the dynasty, Zhao Heng walked to his elder brother and wanted a few words of comfort, but King Chu patted his brother on the shoulder, and said with exhaustion, “I know what you want to say. Don’t worry, the eldest brother understands, but now I don’t want to listen to anything. Let me wait a few days, and when I want to find someone to drink, I will take the initiative to go to your house.”

The brother is like this, Zhao Heng is worried but can no longer persuade him, only the word “take care”.

It didn’t take long for the emperor’s uncle’s death and Emperor Xuande’s two wills to be passed on.

When Princess Duanhui heard about it, she ran to the Changchun Palace and cried to her mother Shu Concubine in a blink of an eye. She lay in her arms and cried: “How can the emperor father be like this? The emperor is a sinner, and the father is willing to restore the emperor’s uncle status. I have exhausted my love, why postpone my marriage date?” She has liked her cousin since she was a child. Year after year, she is looking forward to growing up and marrying her cousin. Finally, she will be sixteen years old, and in half a month. To get married, but the father of the emperor decreed to postpone the marriage date at this time, and it will last a year. Can Princess Duanhui not cry?

Concubine Shu touched her daughter’s head, and she felt a little pain. Once the woman had someone she wanted, she could not wait to marry him immediately. The husband and wife loved Qin Se and Ming. But Concubine Shu also understood the emperor’s decision. Back then, the King of Wu’an County committed suicide. There were rumors among the common people, accusing the emperor of forcing his nephew to death. Now that the emperor is dead, if the emperor does not show sincerity in mourning, the common people will surely again. To scold him.

Compared with Qianqiu’s reputation, what is it for a daughter to marry one year later?

But Concubine Shu couldn’t tell her daughter truthfully. Her daughter was reckless. If only a few words were passed out, the emperor would be unhappy if she knew what she was talking about behind her back, even though she was telling the truth.

“Don’t cry, it will make people laugh. Only men are anxious to marry a wife. How can a girl cry because of late marriage?” Concubine Shu lifted her daughter up, helping her to wipe her tears while she said as easily as possible.

“I just want to marry my cousin soon!” Princess Duanhui pulled the veil and wiped it herself. Princess Duanhui always feels that her cousin is not gentle and considerate enough for her. She has witnessed the affection between the father and the mother and the concubine. Princess Duanhui can’t help but think that as long as she is married, the two will have the truth of husband and wife, cousin. Naturally it will warm up to her.

The daughter is really princess temperament, bolder than others, and has a thicker skin. Concubine Shu has a headache and suddenly realized that it is no longer a matter of delay in marriage. The attitude of her daughter is not the right way to be a wife.

Turning her daughter’s shoulders off, Concubine Shu looked at her daughter’s eyes and said earnestly and earnestly: “Duanhui, mother knows that you like your cousin, and mother supports it, but today mother must make it clear to you that men are cheap bones, the more you like him The tighter you hold him, the less he looks down on you, the less he cherishes you. You are cold to him, but he tries his best to please you, and wants you to put him on the cusp of your heart, understand?”

Princess Duanhui opened her mouth blankly and looked at her mother in a puzzled manner. Women like men. Men should be happy. How can they not cherish them?

Concubine Shu continued to remind: “You like Pingzhang, the people in Beijing will soon know, but did your cousin have anything to say? Every time you meet, you take the initiative to get in front of him. He doesn’t have to do anything, just wait. It’s fine for you to get there, if it hadn’t been for that time you were almost hitting the arrow… Never see you again, your cousin may not have realized that he has you in his heart.”

Princess Duanhui bit her lip, trying to find evidence of rebuttal.

Concubine Shu nodded her daughter’s forehead, and gave a ready-made example: “Look at your fourth brother. Before going to Beiyuan, you disliked your fourth sister-in-law too much. As a result, your fourth sister-in-law showed off his skills in the paddock. Your fourth brother finally found out that she was good and returned to Beijing. Later, Li Mulan still liked to answer, so your fourth brother took the initiative to send a few concubine rooms and tried to please her. If Li Mulan was nervous at the beginning of your fourth brother, and your fourth brother gave her a good face, she would be satisfied, you fourth Brother will take the initiative to send the concubine room?”

Princess Duanhui understands a bit, but she still thinks of a counterexample: “Sansao also obeys the third brother, and the third brother still doesn’t like her.”

Concubine Shu laughed: “Jianing is called gentleness. The prince is kind to her. She happily continues, the prince has delays in business affairs, and she doesn’t bother him, advances and retreats, and such a sensible wife, which man doesn’t like? Look at you, gentle and considerate, and cry if you feel unsatisfactory. If you tell your cousin to know that you are crying because you are anxious to marry him, he will not be happy, but will despise you for not knowing the generality.”

Princess Duanhui pouted and didn’t like to listen.

Concubine Shu hugged her daughter and said softly: “Just so, this year my mother will teach you well. As long as you learn with your heart, my mother promises that after you marry, your cousin will obey you, and only you are in your eyes. ”

Princess Duanhui’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

Concubine Shu squeezed her daughter’s nose and smiled: “When did the mother lie to you?”

Princess Duanhui was finally satisfied, but she still hugged her mother coquettishly and whispered: “Forget it this time, no matter what happens next time, my father will not be allowed to postpone my wedding date.” Song Jianing married San at the age of fourteen. Brother, until next year, she will be seventeen and will soon become an old girl.

The emperor’s uncle died, and Princess Duanhui didn’t miss the niece. Chu Palace, the King of Chu was uncomfortably unable to eat.

Feng Zheng coaxed his brother to sleep, and personally carried the tray to persuade her husband. Putting the tray on the table, she sat next to King Chu, stretched out her hand to hug him, and leaned on his sturdy shoulders, and whispered softly: “Master, eat as much as you want. You don’t take any food or drink like this, I, I am afraid.” I am afraid that the prince will vomit blood again.

King Chu turned his head and looked at the princess who was leaning on him. He always liked her gentleness before, but this gentleness bore him tonight.

For the sake of his wife and his son, he knew that the emperor was wronged by the emperor, and he endured it, and even the emperor died unjustly. He didn’t blame the emperor. He could only miss the emperor when he returned to the palace, but she ran to persuade him. He was afraid of eating and drinking medicine, did he have to think of her only at all times?

“I’m going to sleep, you go back first, I want to be alone tonight.” Turning his head, King Chu said to the bed.

The man’s voice was cold, Feng Zheng looked up, only to see his cold and tough profile, as if he didn’t even want to look at her. Feng Zheng vaguely guessed something, slowly let go of his arm, and walked two steps out. When he turned around, seeing that he was still sitting motionless, Feng Zheng’s eyes were sour, he reluctantly said something, and walked away with tears in his eyes.

Duke Kang watched the princess leave and looked at the inner room. He sighed and stood silently outside. He entered the house a day later, distressedly persuading the master to change his clothes and rest.

King Chu finally moved. He glanced at him without washing his feet, took off his robe with a calm face, turned around and lay on the bed, facing inside.

Father Kang knew the relationship between the master and the uncle emperor best. He put down the tent and said quietly before leaving: “The prince, the emperor is alive in the sky. Seeing you like this will definitely feel distressed.”

King Chu sneered. If the emperor could really see him, he should be cold when he sees his dearest nephew did nothing for him.

In the dead of night, the king of Chu had a distressed conscience. He turned over and over again, not knowing when he would fall asleep. The king of Chu had a dream. He dreamed that the king of Wu’an County was chasing him with blood on his head. He dreamed that the emperor was lying in bed and stretched out his hand to call him over. One is a cousin who grew up together, and the other loves him like he is. Son’s uncle, all dead! Died in the hands of the father!

With a sound of “Ah”, King Chu sat up with his head disheveled, jumped out of the bed, clutching his head, and ran out barefoot.

Father Kang was watching the night with a young eunuch. Hearing the prince yelling, the two woke up immediately. With the effort of putting on shoes, the prince had already rushed out. The moonlight was dim. The prince was dressed in a white shirt and ran out with his head as if Ghostly. Kang Gong was about to break his heart. He rushed over and hugged the master, urging the little **** to go to the eunuch.

“Bold, I’m going to see the emperor, who dares to stop me!” Chu Wang was blocked, grabbed his backhand, and threw Kang Gong to the ground.

Father Kang was so painful that he couldn’t make a sound, and the little **** saw that the prince looked crazy and ran out of fright. The king of Chu wanted to continue beating Father Kang. Yu Guang saw that he was about to run, so he went to catch the little eunuch. When Feng Zheng in the backyard heard the movement and brought people over, he saw that under the moonlight, several guards were in a hurry. Trying to subdue the mad prince.

“Master…” Feng Zheng called tremblingly.

Just as King Chu threw away the two guards, he turned his head when he heard the voice and saw his wife in a white dress. King Chu’s eyes were startled. Then when Feng Zheng regained hope, King Chu ran towards the gate of the main courtyard. He was still clamoring about going to see King Qin, crazy, really crazy.

Feng Zheng’s legs softened and fell to the ground.

In the middle of the night, at Shouwang Mansion, Zhao Heng suddenly woke up and listened carefully. As expected, there was the sound of horseshoes in the street.
