There are assassins who openly assassinated in front of tens of thousands of navy troops, there are dragon robes found in the palace of Qin Wang, there are letters between King Qin and Xu Wei, and there is Xu Wei who personally confessed his guilt. It's an ironclad fact. Even though the King of Chu repeatedly interceded for the King of Qin, Emperor Xuande still issued a decree at the time, saying that he was thinking of brotherhood, leaving the King of Qin alone, demoted to the county magistrate, and the whole family distributed to Fangzhou for resettlement. Deputy Prime Minister Xu Wei beheaded to the public, and his family was exiled to Yazhou.
After the sentence was pronounced, Emperor Xuande left the military officials and walked away exhausted. Before leaving the hall, he heard a familiar sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Emperor Xuande knew who was coming, and was so angry that his brain hurt. Who was he doing so much for? How could the boss not understand his pains at all
"Father..."
"Shut up!" The anger that had been suppressed for a long time was finally ignited by the anxious anger in his son's words. Emperor Xuande turned around with a dark face. Even the King of Chu, who was the least afraid of his own father, was shocked.
The son shut up, Emperor Xuande still needed to vent his anger, and stared at his son coldly: "That is my younger brother, if the evidence is not conclusive, do you think I would be willing to expel him from the capital? I almost lost my life today? You keep telling me to take care of my brotherhood, why don't you try to persuade your good uncle? You only have the uncle in your eyes, do you want me to die early, just like him?"
The louder he said, the louder he shouted at the end, furious like thunder.
The King of Chu was frightened by a series of questions from his father. Hearing that the royal father suspected him of being unfilial, the King of Chu immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "The royal father calms down his anger, the son does not dare!" One was The father who was murdered was the uncle who was framed. If the father was injured, the King of Chu would definitely care about the father the most. Do more for the uncle.
After kowtowing, the king of Chu raised his head, facing his father's blushing face, the king of Chu did not dare to offend his father again, the tiger's eyes were sore, and tears came to his eyes, he choked slightly and said, "Father, my son. If you don’t believe that Uncle Huang is that kind of person, please ask the emperor to order the son to personally interrogate the uncle and Xu Wei, and the son will definitely tell the truth to the father!”
Xu Wei may be subdued, and the letter may be framed by someone, as long as the investigation continues, those evidences can be overturned.
Emperor Xuande just pretended to be tired in the courtroom, but now looking at the tears in his eldest son's eyes for his uncle, and hearing that the eldest son still insists on rehabilitating his uncle, Emperor Xuande was suddenly really tired and didn't have the strength to persuade him any more. The eldest son, he didn't have the strength to scold him any more, he just wanted to be alone for a while.
"The king of Chu has committed the following crimes, he is unfaithful and unfilial, and when someone comes, he will take the king of Chu back to his house, and he will not be able to restrain himself." Finally, looking at his eldest son, Emperor Xuande turned and walked away, with an old back.
"Father! Father!" The King of Chu didn't care whether he was imprisoned or not, and went on his knees to chase the distant emperor, just asking the father to change his mind and retry the case, but until he was taken away by the rushing guards, Emperor Xuande never looked back. .
Two quarters of an hour later, the tall and burly King of Chu was escorted into the palace of the King of Chu by the imperial guards. As soon as the chains on the King of Chu's body were loosened, the King of Chu was about to rush out. The guards were startled, who would have thought that the King of Chu was so stubborn? He hurriedly swarmed around to subdue the King of Chu, but the King of Chu was so brave, even a dozen guards couldn't take him down, so they could only block the door and prevent the King of Chu from coming out.
"Get out of the way!" The King of Chu fought several times to no avail, and suddenly pulled out a sword from the guard's waist, roaring with red eyes.
The face of the guards turned pale, and the man in the lead knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and begged: "My lord, my subordinates are instructed to do things.
The imperial guard would rather die than give in, and the hand of the king holding the knife trembled.
While suffering physically and mentally, a shrill cry suddenly came from behind him. The king of Chu shook his hand and turned around to see his concubine rushing towards him, and the bead hairpins on his head were all messed up. The King of Chu was shocked and angry, and glared at the steward who secretly reported the letter. At this moment, Feng Zheng, who had heard the news, finally rushed in front of him. He thumped and knelt down, hugging King Chu's thigh and crying: "Your Highness. Do you want to disobey the emperor's order? Do you know that once you step out of this door, you will commit a serious crime of disobedience, and the prince only thinks about the emperor, and doesn't care about the three of us?"
I cried so hard, the tears fell like rain.
Feng Zheng was really afraid that whether the uncle lived or died had nothing to do with her, she was afraid that her prince would be punished by the emperor impulsively, that the family of four would completely anger the emperor, and that they would be imprisoned in the palace for the rest of their lives and could not go out. She was alone, she recognized it, but how innocent are her two sons? They haven't grown up yet, so they shouldn't live a life in darkness.
"My lord, if you insist on leaving the house, kill me first!" He raised his head high, and Feng Zheng looked at the man above his head with tears in his eyes.
That was his beloved wife, how could the King of Chu succeed
Thinking that leaving the house without permission might implicate Feng Zheng and his two sons, the King of Chu released his hand and dropped the knife.

In the Shouwang Mansion, Song Jianing successively received news that the uncle was assigned to Fangzhou and the King of Chu was banned from the palace.
The situation in the capital has changed, and so has the heaven. The sky is gloomy, and suddenly a thunderous thunder slams down, as if it were blown in the ear. Song Jianing's heart shrank, and Zhaozhao, who was sleeping soundly, also woke up, opened his eyes, just as a shower suddenly came outside, and the thunder cracked on the glass window, Zhaozhao tilted his head and looked at the window, his mouth was flat, and he cried. came out.
"Zhaozhao is not afraid, my mother is here." Song Jianing hurriedly picked up her crying daughter, put on her shoes and went to the inner room, putting down the tent and hiding on the bunk bed. But the sound of thunder and rain still came. Zhaozhao was lying in her mother's arms and cried non-stop. Song Jianing had already decided to wean the baby in the past two days. At this time, she had no choice but to unbutton her clothes to feed her daughter and cover her ears with one hand.
The little girl was very tender, she opened her mouth after eating for a while, and grumbled aggrievedly at her mother, as if complaining about why she didn't let the thunder stop. After humming, she continued to eat, repeated several times until she was full Only slowly fell asleep. Song Jianing gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her daughter's eyes, and when her daughter was completely asleep, she could only think about those big things.
The King of Qin rebelled.
Song Jianing had several encounters with King Qin. King Qin, like Princess Qin, had a very peaceful and honest appearance. It was known that people knew their faces but didn't know their hearts. Song Jianing couldn't see whether King Qin had wolf ambitions. Since the emperor was sentenced, then the king of Qin was a rebel. A sinner who rebelled was no longer qualified to be the heir of Da Zhou.
The uncle was disqualified, and the position of the prince fell again to the heads of several princes. The most important to the emperor was undoubtedly the king of Chu.
Song Jianing frowned. She could figure it out, didn't the King of Chu know? It should be clear, but in the heart of the King of Chu, he trusts and respects the emperor's uncle is more important than the position of the prince. Thinking of this, Song Jianing can finally be sure that the two people in the previous life said that King Shou murdered his own brother for the throne, it must be a rumor.
The King of Chu attaches great importance to family affection. If King Shou really wants to be the emperor, the King of Chu is willing to let his uncle even let him, and he will definitely let his younger brother.
After confirming that his prince was not a ruthless person, Song Jianing felt completely at ease somewhere in his heart, but the prince of Chu was grounded.
It was raining heavily outside the window. Song Jianing hugged her daughter tightly, and suddenly felt very cold. She wanted the prince to come back soon, and she would feel at ease when he was in charge.

Prince Rui's Mansion.
The rain was pouring down, and Prince Rui didn't go to the concubine Zhang's yard or look for the princess. He stood alone in front of the window and watched the torrential rain hit the ground continuously. It was the first time in his life that he was so happy. The uncle fell, and the prince became the object of their four princes again. The eldest brother was banned from the palace because the uncle contradicted the father, so in the order of age, he is the most likely person to seal the prince.
Yesterday, the crown prince was out of reach, but today it is placed in front of him.
Prince Rui was arrogant and ambitious, but it didn't take long for the joy on his face to disappear, and the peaks of his eyebrows wrinkled again.
The eldest brother is only grounded, the throne is still there, and the nephew Shenggeer is still raised in the middle palace. Empress Li brought up Brother Sheng personally, betting that in the future, when the eldest brother ascends the throne, she will be the queen mother with real power by virtue of her. She has already made a choice. Now that the eldest brother has an accident, Queen Li will never stand by.
However, the father favored that woman the most.
The good mood disappeared, Prince Rui clenched his fists irritably, but he could only keep an eye on the movements of the palace in secret.

The emperor's uncle was demoted, the King of Chu was banned, Emperor Xuande was depressed for half a month, buried in the Chongzheng Hall all day to review the memorials, it seems that only in this way can he forget the heartache caused by his own younger brother and his own son. The emperor did not set foot in the harem, and Queen Li strictly ordered the concubines and concubines of the palace to keep their concubines in peace, and she devoted herself to raising her brother, just like before the king of Chu was punished.
Brother Sheng didn't know that his father was punished by the grandfather, only that the fake father didn't come to pick him up in the first ten days, but the grandmother of the emperor was ill that day and asked him if he wanted to stay to honor her. Brother Sheng was sensible. accepted. After finally looking forward to the nineteenth, and looking forward to the time when the father and king should come to pick him up in the evening, Brother Sheng couldn't help but look at the door again and again.
Queen Li lied to her grandson once, but this time she didn't plan to lie. Thinking that the emperor's anger should be almost gone, Queen Li hugged Brother Sheng and coaxed softly: "Father is not here yet, maybe he is with him. When the grandfather speaks, the grandmother will lead Brother Sheng over to take a look?"
Brother Sheng nodded vigorously.
The palace maid waited for the younger brother to wear shoes, and Queen Li took the boy and went to the Chongzheng Palace without delay.
Emperor Xuande was tired of reading, and was leaning on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. Hearing Wang En say that Empress Li and grandchildren were coming, Emperor Xuande was stunned for a moment, then nodded, rubbed his eyes and picked up the book to continue reading. The footsteps were getting closer, Emperor Xuande raised his head, and at a glance, he saw Brother Sheng, who was the same as his unfilial son when he was a child.
"Grandfather." Brother Sheng said respectfully, with confusion and grievance in his clear eyes.
Emperor Xuande snorted. Seeing that Empress Li was calm and calm, Emperor Xuande had no choice but to ask his grandson, "Brother Sheng came to see the emperor's grandfather?"
Brother Sheng misses his father, his mother, and his younger brother. He just wants to go home. When the grandfather asked, the boy burst into tears, wiped his eyes and said, "Grandfather, why didn't the father come to pick me up Does he not want me anymore?" The more the boy said, the more afraid he became, the more afraid he would cry more, so he turned his head and lay on Queen Li's body, crying.
Empress Li touched the boy's head, Yu Guang saw that the emperor was stunned, but was not angry, Empress Li said helplessly: "Emperor, last time I was sick, Brother Sheng didn't go back, and I haven't seen my father for nearly 20 days. Mother…”
Emperor Xuande raised his eyes.
Empress Li didn't look at him, she turned her head to the side and secretly wiped her tears.
The older ones cried, the younger ones also cried, especially the twitching cry of the grandson, which made Emperor Xuande's eyes sore. If the son is wronged and the grandson is wronged, will he not be wronged? All the painstaking efforts are for the eldest son, the eldest son doesn't appreciate it, and he stubbornly talks to him in turn, and keeps scolding him.
"Someone." Emperor Xuande said coldly.
The eunuch Wang En immediately bent over and came in.
Emperor Xuande looked at his grandson and said solemnly, "Go and see what the King of Chu is doing, why didn't you come to pick up your brother?"
This is to forgive the King of Chu, and Wang Enxin understood it and went out to do business.
When Brother Sheng heard that his grandfather had sent someone to look for his father, he grinned and stopped crying, happily running towards his grandfather, who made the decision for him. Emperor Xuande picked up the heavy and fat grandson, put it on his lap, and coaxed while wiping his grandson's tears: "Father King actually forgot to pick up Brother Sheng, he came later, and the imperial grandfather was beaten. "
Brother Sheng was anxious: "Don't fight!"
Emperor Xuande hummed: "If you don't beat him, what if he forgets to pick up Brother Sheng next time?"
Brother Sheng rolled his eyes, smiled and came up with an idea: "Then the imperial grandfather sent someone to take me back."
The boy is smart and cute, Emperor Xuande smiled, smiled and sighed. Father and son, father and son, break the bones and connect the tendons, the son is reluctant to punish the father, and the father is reluctant to punish the son. Brother Sheng knows how to protect his father. When he was old, why didn't he treat him like this? Every time he goes out with his elder brother, the eldest brother hugs his leg and is reluctant to leave his father, crying for his father to come back soon...
The boss may have forgotten, he remembers it as a father.
In the evening of the same day, Emperor Xuande had a long talk with the King of Chu. In the early morning of the next day, the King of Chu officially lifted the ban and entered the palace again as a errand.
