San Gong Garden outside the capital has a nice name, San Gong Garden, but it is actually a place of execution.
Nalanjie actually wanted to delay some time before convicting his eldest son. After all, he was also a close relative of flesh and blood. However, now that there are human and material evidences, as an emperor, if he delays any longer, it would be biased.
Although he was unwilling, he had to sentence his son to death.
Nalan Jue, who was on the beheading stage, was imprisoned for three days. At this time, Nalan Jue had given up resistance: "Hahaha... The emperor's house is a ruthless grave. It is indeed ruthless, it is indeed ruthless... Hahaha..."
Perhaps the most enviable thing in people's eyes is the children born in an imperial family. They have no worries about food and clothing, and can feel all kinds of pampering and all kinds of love at any time.
However, the scene that the ministers saw was so cruel. They all knew that this was not the case in the imperial family. Children born in the imperial family often longed for family affection and the warmth of home. However, these became They are elusive "luxury accessories" because since ancient times, family affection has never been a necessity for an emperor's family, because after the family world, the emperor's concept of family has been different from that of ordinary families.
Politics has become the core of the imperial family, and family members are closely linked to politics. In this context, family love has really become a "luxury accessory" for everyone, especially children. It is precisely because everyone has to survive in such a harsh environment that there are patricide and fratricide. things. And such cruel things have become a common thing in the Imperial House.
Half of the people present believed that the eldest prince was the murderer, but the other half did not believe it. After all, there were too many right and wrongs in the emperor's family, which were unpredictable. Even the current emperor Nalanjie was not a murderer. After his brother died, he ascended the throne last
For ministers, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they can continue to be an official, that's fine.
The queen burst into tears and said: "I only have three sons... Now the second son can't bear to leave on his own, and the eldest son has been taken over by you again... How do you want me to live..."
The emperor sighed, raised his head and said, "I can't help it. The country has national laws and the family has family rules. My son is also a human being. Even I have to abide by one sentence... The emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty!"
"But that is your son, your eldest son!" the queen said.
Just last night, the queen came to the death row. She and the eldest prince held each other's arms and cried. The eldest prince hugged his mother tightly. He said: "Mother... the child really did not curse, really not, mother... The child was wronged, someone is definitely harming me, absolutely!"
"The Queen Mother knows, the Queen Mother knows..." The Queen's heart has been broken several times these days. She sent the second prince away with her own hands. Before she could take a breath, the eldest son suffered such a disaster. This made her life worse than death. .
The eldest prince shook his head and said: "If there is an afterlife, I don't want to be born in an imperial family like this. I just want to be an ordinary commoner, just like my sworn brother Li Huguo, who doesn't care about court affairs and just devotes himself to cultivating Taoism."
"If something happens to you, maybe your two sworn brothers will also die..." the queen said, "but my mother has heard that your third brother is a detective, but he is currently on Shenxu Island and cannot come out. We also We can’t find him, otherwise if he were here, he would definitely be able to investigate and find out the truth, how could he let you suffer injustice here!”
"My brother will avenge me, and Hugo will find the murderer for me!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth. Suddenly he thought of something, and he immediately took off a gold inlaid jade from his neck, "Mother, please take this If I give this piece of gold and jade to my third brother, I can't escape death, but I hope he... can restore my innocence after my death!"
"The queen knows, the queen knows! But how do you protect him? He has to survive to repay your innocence!" The queen was already in tears.
The eldest prince had lived a life of confusion, but before he died, he was unusually sober: "Princess Taiping... My father betrothed Princess Taiping to my third brother. After the third brother marries me, it is equivalent to accepting the spy placed by my father. And he became even closer to the royal family. With these two conditions, my father would not kill him. Moreover, my third brother was on Shenxu Island when the incident happened, and he had a sufficient alibi...at most. The murderer harmed me and my second brother, but he couldn’t harm my third brother!”
The eldest prince breathed heavily: "The third brother is smart and can definitely understand what I mean. He can only marry Princess Taiping. If he doesn't marry, the whole family will die! And my hatred and everything I have are entrusted to him. …”
The queen shook her head and sighed: "Li Yuguo is also a miserable man. Your third uncle designed to kill his father. Now he has finally become a general of the imperial court, but he has to be involved in this whirlpool... In this way, he Maybe he will make the same mistake as his father... I hope that girl from Taiping can give him a son and a half, so that she can be considered as a heir to the Li family."
The queen's eyes were desperate. She knew that all this was inevitable, but people are selfish. She was not only a queen, but also the mother of the eldest prince. In order to clear her son's crime, she would even trick everyone in the world. She didn't hesitate to do anything!
"Mom, if there is an afterlife, can the child still be your child?" The eldest prince raised his head to look at his mother with difficulty. The shackles on his head were too heavy. Even so, he had to raise his head because of this Maybe a few last glances.
The queen covered her mouth, but tears flowed freely from her fingers: "In the next life... the next life, forever and ever, you will be my child! My child, you are the least scheming and the most straightforward of the three children. , In fact, you are not suitable to be this prince at all. Maybe as you said, you would be the happiest if you became a commoner... "
"Mother!" The eldest prince did not call his mother, but called her mother.
On the execution ground, the queen was speechless. As the third quarter of noon approached, the eldest prince looked up at the blazing sun in the sky and murmured: "Third brother, you must find the murderer for me. I don't want to think twice..." "
"Brother!" Ye Qiong broke through the crowd and rushed towards the eldest prince hysterically. He looked messy, his hair was disheveled, and he looked like a madman, "Brother, don't go!"
Ye Qiong knelt on the ground and cried loudly. The ministers around him were all moved. Some of the soft-hearted ones just covered their faces and started crying.
