"Get in!"
The emperor let out an angry roar, and His Royal Highness was so frightened that the shit rolled out of his mouth.
"My son kowtowed to the emperor!"
Emperor Kai Yao's eyes were like copper bells, full of evil spirit.
"I heard that you went to mourn the courtiers?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said tremblingly: "Yes! Xie Aiqing passed away in an accident. My son and minister remembered his hard work for many years and went to offer condolences."
Emperor Kai Yao snorted coldly, "You are a benevolent monarch."
His Royal Highness was trembling with fright.
Snapped!
Kneeling directly on the ground, "My son is guilty."
Emperor Kai Yao asked indifferently: "What is your crime?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was confused, "My son, my son..."
The rest of the words were really beyond words, His Royal Highness thought from the bottom of his heart that there was nothing wrong with him going to mourn Xie Mao. It's too difficult for him to find his own fault now.
It was the thirteenth prince who stood up and reminded him, "Brother Prince, the East Palace is the closest to the Imperial Palace, but you were the last to arrive. It really shouldn't be."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately said: "The thirteenth brother is right. My son is late, please punish me."
Emperor Kai Yao's gaze swept across the face of the thirteenth prince, and finally fell on the face of His Royal Highness, "You two brothers have a good relationship."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect the storm to come as soon as it was said.
"Asshole!"
Emperor Kai Yao pointed at His Highness the Crown Prince and scolded, "What did you do wrong yourself, and you need Old Thirteen to remind you. It can be seen that you have never taken me seriously in your heart, and you have only paid off my orders. matter. You are not as good as a pig or a dog."
Emperor Kaiyao walked off the dragon chair in two steps in three steps, and put his foot on the body of His Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was kicked over and did not dare to cry out in pain. He knelt down again and kowtowed to plead guilty, "I am guilty, I am guilty. I have always kept every word my father said in my heart, and I dare not forget it for a day. I will never dare to be perfunctory. Please, father Mingchao."
Emperor Kai Yao sneered and snapped angrily: "You fart!"
His Royal Highness was pale.
Emperor Kaiyao said angrily: "He kept saying that he would take every word I said to heart. You treat me as a three-year-old child, can you deceive me at will? I told you to stay away from those rotten scholars, did you obey? I told you Care more about the frontier soldiers, can you do it
I have taught you countless times over the years, which time have you obeyed? If it weren't for your mother to protect you, I would have abandoned you long ago! "
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extremely terrified, and now, this day has finally come. Sure enough, it won't last three years.
The other princes and princes also looked shocked, but the father actually said what was in his heart, is the old man crazy
In front of their sons, directly saying that they have abandoned the crown prince, is it a test, or is it a sloppy word, or is the old man really planning to abolish the crown prince
Although some people were secretly happy, they didn't dare to be careless.
Who knows what kind of crazy the old man is. Maybe if one was not careful, the violent storm set off by the old man would blow on him.
His Royal Highness kowtowed to plead guilty, "My son is guilty, my son is guilty..."
"enough!"
Emperor Kai Yao looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with disgust, "Look at you, you don't look like a Crown Prince at all. You are so cowardly and irresponsible, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the country to you?"
His Royal Highness lowered his head with a sad expression. It is not thanks to his father that he has become such a cowardly appearance.
However, His Royal Highness only dared to complain in his heart, and never dared to speak his mind.
Emperor Kai Yao looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, and the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, so he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it!
The tea was splashed, and His Royal Highness was the most splashed, and the other princes and princes were not spared either.
Emperor Kai Yao pointed at the dozen or so sons, "Aren't all of you wishing for me to die soon?"
"Father, please calm down! My son is looking forward to my father's long life."
"Shut up! Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking? How dare you stretch your hands into the palace and stir up the wind and rain in the palace? Do you really think I'm old, out of energy, and unable to take care of things? Let me tell you, even if I When you get old, I can still take care of you. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand in the palace, I will cut off his hand. If cutting off the hand is not enough, I will kill him."
In the hall, everyone was silent.
Obviously the old man was really angry.
During this period of time, there was a big cleansing in the palace, and no less than a thousand people died.
Four divisions, six bureaus, twenty-four yamen, none of them were spared.
Many figures who used to call the wind and rain in the palace, failed to escape this time, and were all knocked off.
Even the eyeliner of the princes and princes in the palace was wiped out because of this indiscriminate cleansing.
Everyone knew that the old man was afraid. He was afraid that someone would harm him, and that they, his sons, would replace him, so he wanted to make an example to the monkeys, to make an example to the hundred.
Use the blood of countless people to warn all ambitious people who are about to make a move. Give me peace of mind, otherwise I will kill your whole family and your nine clans.
Several princes and princes secretly exchanged a look. The old man seems to be not far from losing his mind. Everyone has to be careful in the future.
Emperor Kai Yao was furious, walking up and down in the hall.
See which son is not pleasing to the eye, just kick it hard.
The other princes and princes were kicked and endured silently.
King Ning was not like this. He was kicked and went straight to the ground, clutching his chest, yelling.
"Father, you are going to kick my son to death with this kick. My son hasn't embraced his grandson yet, so he will die with regret."
"Sir, shut up." Kai Yaodi angrily reprimanded.
King Ning is the third eldest.
Not only did King Ning not shut up, but he yelled even harder.
"Aiyo, aiyo, I can't do it. Old man, my son is about to die. Your feet are so fierce that your son's bones are broken. When your son is dead, you have to give birth to a few more cubs."
Kai Yaodi laughed angrily, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, you are a lazy rascal. I think you owe a lesson, why don't you go to the imperial mausoleum to reflect."
The Imperial Mausoleum is located on Beimang Mountain, two hundred miles away from the capital. The entire Beimang Mountain is under the management of the Shaofu.
Emperor Kaiyao asked King Ning to go to the imperial mausoleum to reflect. The intention behind this is worth pondering.
King Ning first groaned, "Father, are you going to abandon your son?"
"Get out!"
King Ning got up from the ground neatly and rolled away decisively.
When he left the main hall, he still didn't wink at the brothers. It seems to be saying: Brothers, my brother has withdrawn first, you continue to suffer.
Zhao Wang and the others gritted their teeth and frowned. Ning Wang, a bastard, actually used this method to escape, which is really treacherous.
King Ning left Xingqing Palace and first went to Changchun Palace to meet Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu saw that there was a footprint on his chest, she frowned slightly, and asked, "But you made your father angry again?"
King Ning laughed and said, "I'm going to guard the imperial mausoleum tomorrow, mother and concubine don't need to miss me too much."
When Concubine Shu heard this, her expression changed.
"What's going on? Why did your father punish you to guard the imperial tomb? This, this, this..."
"Don't do this. It's no big deal to guard the imperial mausoleum, and my son will come back after a while."
Ning Wang looked downcastly.
Concubine Shu can't rest assured.
"It's no big deal to guard the imperial mausoleum. Are you too big-hearted, or too stupid? You are like being assigned. What did you do? Why did your father punish you to guard the imperial mausoleum?"
King Ning said: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, it is the best policy to leave the capital at this time. The old man is crazy. If he stays in the capital, he is afraid that one day he will kill him. It is not worth it. My son will go to the imperial mausoleum first. Hide from the wind and wait for the capital to calm down before finding a way to come back. Don't worry."
Concubine Shu was dubious, "Are you really going out to hide from the rumors? Can you really come back?"
King Ning laughed, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back. I feel uncomfortable in the palace, so my son will leave now."
King Ning returned to the palace with a relaxed expression on his face, ordered people to pack up his belongings, and set off for the imperial mausoleum early tomorrow morning.
Concubine Ning Pei's was very anxious when she heard about this.
When he came to the study in the outer courtyard, when he saw King Ning, tears fell down his face.
"The concubine is going to guard the imperial tomb with the prince."
"What trouble are you making?" King Ning looked disgusted.
Pei cried and said: "The lord is going to guard the imperial mausoleum. As a concubine, can I not accompany you? Although normally, you are stuffed into the backyard one woman after another, but at this time, the concubine Don't accompany you, do you want those bitches to accompany you?"
King Ning had a big head, "You are jealous. It's just a few women, why are you like this. This king's visit to guard the imperial tomb this time is only temporary, so don't worry about it."
"temporary?"
Pei Shi was in doubt.
King Ning nodded, "Yes, it's temporary. The old man has a big temper, so I should avoid it first, and go to guard the imperial mausoleum. It's close to the capital. If there's anything to do, I can go back and forth within the same day."
At this time, the servants reported that the eldest son and the fourth son had come.
King Ning said: "Let them in, I just have something to tell them."
Liu Zhao and Liu Yi walked into the study.
"The son greets the father and the mother."
"Exemption! This king is going to guard the imperial tomb, you all know it."
"Son just heard the news."
King Ning sat on the chair with a satisfied face, "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. For the affairs of the court, Boss, you should keep an eye on it for me."
Liu Zhao responded blankly, "My son obeyed. However, it is easy to guard the imperial mausoleum, but it is difficult to come back. It is a bit risky for the father to take this move."
"Risks come with rewards. If you don't take risks, can you get out?" King Ning chuckled.
Liu Zhao thought for a while, and said: "The general supervisor under the Shaofu is in Beimang Mountain. It is better for my father to take a look at it when I have time. In addition, the Imperial Forest Army is also practicing in Beimang Mountain. My father has acquaintances in the Imperial Forest Army, so I should move around." .”
King Ning laughed, "That's right, that's right, you are very thoughtful. I know these things well, so you don't need to worry about them.
This king will go to guard the imperial mausoleum early tomorrow morning, and when the turmoil in the capital subsides, Boss, whether this king can return to the capital smoothly depends entirely on you. "
Liu Zhao replied, "My son will do his best."
Liu Yi hurriedly said: "The son also wants to share the worries of the father."
King Ning stared at Liu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yi'er has grown up too, so you can follow your elder brother to practice. Boss, take care of your fourth brother. Brothers are united, and their benefits can cut gold."
Liu Zhao responded blankly, and glanced at Liu Yi calmly.
Liu Yi looked eager to try, looking very excited.
Mrs. Pei nodded secretly, the prince is not confused yet, he should give Yi'er more chances.
A man, how can he be trapped in the mansion, he should go out to practice.
In the early morning of the next day, King Ning held a guard of honor and brought his usual belongings, such as beds and toilets, all with him. In addition to dozens of singing and dancing girls and musicians, the mighty, hundreds of people left the palace with great pomp and circumstance, and headed for the imperial mausoleum.
Concubine Ning Pei complained, "This is not a distribution, it's just to enjoy the blessings. I didn't forget to bring those coquettish sluts with me when I went to guard the imperial tomb. No wonder I didn't let this princess follow, because I was afraid that this princess would stop him from enjoying himself."
Pei was so angry that he burst into sour water.
Liu Zhao was not surprised by this, it would be abnormal if King Ning did not do something.
Embroidered clothes guard immediately reported the situation to the palace.
The Son of Heaven learned that King Ning was in a guard of honor and left the capital with great pomp, and laughed and cursed, "You bastard, you know how to enjoy yourself. I punished him to go to the imperial mausoleum, and he regarded it as an outing. He really ignored my words."
Chen Dachang said: "Prince Ning must know how much His Majesty loves you and how much you are responsible..."
"Okay, don't speak for that bastard. I know better than anyone else what the third child is. He just can't suffer, he can't suffer, and he wants to enjoy the best wherever he goes. Pass on my will and let King Ning Clean the imperial mausoleum every day, don't be negligent."
Hmph, he doesn't believe that King Ning's lazy and hedonistic temper can't be cured.
King Ning happily ran to guard the imperial mausoleum, but the East Palace was full of bitter wind and rain.
Yesterday, because he knelt down for too long, His Royal Highness injured his knee and it hurt badly.
He is old. When I was young, I once knelt in the rain for four or five hours and hurt my knee.
From then on, whenever he knelt for a little longer, His Royal Highness' knees would hurt for several days.
The continuous, needle-like pain made His Royal Highness feel overwhelmed with pain.
Crown Princess Sun personally tied the medicine bag on His Highness's knee, "Your Highness, this will not hurt so much."
His Royal Highness sighed, "I made you worry."
The Crown Princess Sun said: "Your Highness is too far-fetched to say this. We are a husband and wife, husband and wife, and it is my duty to take care of Your Highness."
His Highness the Crown Prince looked haggard, "Father...there is not much patience left. Don't worry, Gu will definitely keep you and your child."
The Crown Princess Sun gave her a hand, and then continued to work as if nothing had happened, "It's not yet that time, Your Highness should relax."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head, "You didn't see it with your own eyes, you don't know that Father has given up any hope for me.
Yesterday, King Ning said a lot of presumptuous words in front of his father, but his father held King Ning high and put it down gently, and only punished King Ning to guard the imperial tomb.
Early this morning, King Ning left the capital with a guard of honour, and it was said that he brought dozens of singers and dancers with him, and even brought his concubines by his side. However, the father only punished King Ning to clean up the imperial tomb.
With King Ning's temperament, he would not do it himself, even if he sued his father, his father would probably not punish him, at most he would reprimand him a few words.
As an orphan, he was scolded by his father for being late for a while. If Gu Ruo was as presumptuous as King Ning, and even dared to take a singing and dancing girl with him to guard the imperial mausoleum, his father might have already abolished Gu and sent Gu to prison.
Gu and King Ning are both princes, but unfortunately we have different fates. Being alone in front of his father, there is no dignity at all. In front of the brothers, the father never gave Gu any face. The father disliked being a weak person, but he didn't want to think that it was thanks to him that he became what he is today. "
"His Royal Highness be careful."
The Crown Princess Sun's face was tense, and she signaled her confidants to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach the bedroom.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed at himself, "In the East Palace, Gu can't say whatever he wants. In his life, Gu has never had freedom, and he has never lived for himself."
Crown Princess Sun frowned, "Your Highness, just lie down with knee pain. Bear with it, and you will be fine in two days."
"You all call me Gu Rennai. Gu has endured for forty years, how long will I have to endure it?"
His Highness the Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess with complex eyes, full of pain, anger, struggle, hesitation, and cowardice.
The Crown Princess Sun sighed and whispered, "When His Majesty passes away, His Highness will be reborn."
His Highness the crown prince's pupils widened, "You... don't mess around. Father really wants to abolish me, at worst I'll die."
"If His Highness dies, it's meaningless for me to live. At that time, I will die with His Highness." Crown Princess Sun said loudly.
His Royal Highness held the princess's face in his hands, and said solemnly: "You can't die. The lives of hundreds of people in the East Palace, as well as the lives of the children, all depend on you to protect you. If something happens to you, wouldn't Gu be in vain?" died."
The Crown Princess Sun stared at the Prince anxiously, tears streaming down her face.
"The concubine is reluctant to part with His Highness, Your Highness must take care of himself."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, and hugged the Crown Princess in his arms, "I can't bear to part with you, I will try my best to live as long as I can. But when the day comes, don't be too sad."
"No. Your Highness, we still have a chance."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowly shook his head, "Don't talk stupidly. Gu is indeed not a qualified prince, and he will be deposed sooner or later."
No, no.
The Crown Princess Sun shook her head frequently, she would definitely not let the Emperor have a chance to abolish the Crown Prince.
