East Palace!
The prince stayed up all night, and only returned to the palace at dawn this morning to squat for a while, and then he went to Fuyang Palace again.
The eunuch inside and outside the bed stopped him.
Said: "Prince, the emperor said that no one is allowed to enter without his order."
"Not even the prince?"
"The emperor's order, slaves can only obey."
"Get out of the way, I'm going to see the emperor."
"Prince..."
The eunuch couldn't stop it, seeing that Jing Hua was going to push the door, just in time—
Someone inside opened the door, and the two almost collided.
The old eunuch Zhang Eunuch next to the emperor bowed down and said, "See the prince."
"This prince wants to see his father," Jing Hua said directly.
"The emperor is waiting for you inside."
Jing Hua's face was full of joy, and he rushed in quickly.
But Eunuch Zhang didn't follow up. After he came out, he closed the door.
As soon as Jing Hua saw Emperor Qi Zhen lying on the bed, his eyes turned red, he immediately knelt down, leaned over, and slammed his head on the ground.
Sad and sad, he shouted, "It's the incompetence of the son and the minister that actually caused the father to be hurt and the father to be sick in bed."
That's a fake!
I almost cried.
Emperor Qi Zhen coughed a few times, sat up from the bed, leaned on the edge of the bed, looked at Jing Hua who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"
not dead
Why not die!
Jing Hua was stunned.
He quickly got up and walked to the bedside, wiping tears at his father, he asked with great concern, "Father, how are you? Erchen stayed outside the door for the night last night, and was very worried. "
"I know what you mean."
"Fortunately, the emperor is fine, otherwise the son really doesn't know what to do!"
Said, red eyes again!
Emperor Qi Zhen was so weak that he basically didn't even have the strength to speak. He coughed twice before saying, "Jinghua, I ask you, as the prince, what are your responsibilities?"
"The emperor named Erchen the crown prince, and he hoped that he would be like you, diligent in government and love the people, cultivating books and writing, and seeking blessings for the people of Dalin."
"Can you do this?"
"Erchen knows that he often worries his father, but he promises that he will do it."
But Jinghua was muttering in his heart!
He thought, isn't the father trying to test himself
Thinking about killing yourself
Emma, child, you think too much.
Emperor Qi Zhen was not very satisfied or disappointed with his answer, and said, "Jinghua, my father is getting old too, and Dalinjiangshan will be handed over one day sooner or later."
Leave it to me, leave it to me.
Jing Hua's eyes lit up, and he continued to listen carefully.
"You have grown up by my side since you were a child, and you have the clearest temperament. You are too comfortable, and you don't think much about anything. It is precisely because of this that I am worried that there are no soldiers around you who are worthy of your trust. minister."
"My father's worries, my son understands."
"This time the Crown Princess has chosen to choose, your marriage cannot be delayed any longer. The Ji family's direct daughter is ill and cannot be chosen. I have chosen another person for you."
Jing Hua asked, "Who is it?"
"Huiwen."
Jing Hua was stunned when he uttered the two words, and after quickly digesting it, he asked, "Father, how can Kong Yu be the crown prince? Didn't the father say that he wanted to add some power to his son? The Kong family has long since fallen, Kong Yu she…”
"It's true that the Confucius family is in decline, but after careful consideration, I ordered the Hanzong Academy to do business."
"Royal Father..." Jing Hua's face was ashen.
Emperor Qi Zhen knew that he was a little anxious, so he said: "The Kong family is the family of your mother and queen. Although it has declined, its power is still there, and it is not inferior to the Ji family. This matter has been settled, and you should prepare for the wedding , I'm not feeling well now, and everything will be left to the Hanzong Academy."
Despite all the reluctance in my heart, but—
"Yes, my son obeys."
"Okay. You go out, I want to rest."
"Yes!"
Jing Hua stepped aside, bowed down, and went out.
From the beginning to the end, Qi Zhen didn't mention the fact that Jinghua didn't come to save him during the fire, and he escaped.
It is because of this that Jing Hua is even more nervous.
It was as if there was an itch on his body, but he couldn't scratch it.
When the door behind him closed, Jing Hua's filial face was instantly pulled down.
I feel very uncomfortable!
After returning to the Dudong Palace, he ordered someone to invite his husband, Pan Chong.
This Pan Chong is not a court official, but a teacher and a scholar. Jing Hua has followed him to read and write since he was a child, but although he is a teacher, he also knows a little about the affairs of the court.
Take last year's emperor's birthday as an example, Jinghua can think of exchanging Jing Yi's birthday gift to suppress him, which is not something that the sloppy prince can think of.
This idea came from the gray-haired Pan Chong who was sitting in front of him at this time.
Jing Hua was very anxious, half of his body was lying on the table, and he said worriedly: "Sir, how can this be? Last night, the father woke up, and the first person he saw was Jing Yi, not me. Last night The fire, I even took the face of the father and escaped by myself, and the father told me just now that if Kong Yu was to be made the prince concubine, wouldn’t the Ji family’s power not be on the king’s side? Sir, you said First of all, is it because the father... wants to change the crown prince?"
Compared with Jinghua's nervousness, Pan Chong was much calmer.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "What kind of rumors did the prince hear? Did you know that the emperor is going to change the prince?"
"That's not true, but I'm very flustered. Just now, the royal father asked me what my responsibilities as a prince are. How can I ask people to think about it for no reason?"
"Prince, don't panic!" Pan Chong thought with a shrewd look on his face: "The emperor has only seen Yi Wang alone now, and it can't explain anything. Maybe it's just something else. Besides, this time, the direct daughter of the Ji family suddenly It is normal for you to get sick and withdraw from the list of crown princesses, and the emperor finds another crown prince for you."
"Sir, it's right to say that, but..." Jing Hua sighed heavily, "I just don't understand, what exactly does the royal father want to do?"
Pan Chong came up with an idea and said, "May I ask the prince, who is the closest person to the emperor?"
Jing Hua frowned: "Concubine Xiao?"
"Do not!"
"Isn't it?"
"It's Eunuch Zhang next to the emperor."
"Zhang Quan?" Jing Hua suddenly slapped his thigh: "Yes, sir is right, Zhang Quan has been by his father's side since his grandfather was alive, and he is indeed the closest person, but sir suddenly asked why this ?"
Pan Chong seems to be an old man who has been reading and reading, and there is a hint of cunning and insidiousness in those eyes that have settled down.
He said, "There is no impermeable wall in this world. If the emperor really intends to change the crown prince, then the first person to know is the Eunuch Zhang. Why doesn't the crown prince go to him? He will know everything."
What a word to wake up a dreamer!
Jing Hua was overjoyed and worried.
Nodding: "Yes, that old guy must know."
