The prince is seriously ill

The prison hill is a place for the emperor to offer sacrifices to heaven.There are seven levels of gods on the incense table, the center is the tablet of the emperor, followed by the tablets of the royal ancestors of the Xun family.Pigs, sheep, dogs, pigs, wine, fruit and delicacies are placed in front of the tablet, and the musicians are playing the chapter of Fengping.

Xun Zhi finished kneeling three times and kowtowed nine times, stood up and turned his head, and said in a low voice to the eunuch beside him, "Where is the Queen Mother? Take me there quickly." His mother had always lived in seclusion and was devoted to chanting Buddha, but this time she did not hesitate to go out of the palace to see her I am afraid that things will not be simple.

"The queen mother is waiting for the emperor in the inner room, please come with the servants."

After a while, a man dressed in a dragon robe came quickly. The man was bloated, his black and white hair was tied up in a jade crown, and two curved grooves beside his mouth were deeply embedded in his fat face full of wrinkles. Every time he took a step, the flesh on his face trembled.

Standing behind the queen mother, Xun Yu stared closely at Xun Zhi, the king of Liang who was approaching from a distance.he is old.That once mighty face crawled out from the dark soil deep in my heart, and slowly merged with the person in front of me.It's getting closer, it's getting closer, God has eyes, and finally let him wait until today!

Xun Zhi walked over without squinting, and bowed to the queen mother, "Why is mother here?"

The queen mother stood up from her chair, "You all go." She turned her head to look at Xun Yu again, "You stay."

A burst of cautious footsteps rustled away, and there were only three people left in the room.

"The Ai family had a dream last night. In the dream, he saw the late emperor. The late emperor said to the Ai family, 'The emperor worshiped the heavens and moved the gods with sincerity. Suddenly, the first emperor was furious, pointed at Xun Jin and said, "Where did you come from, go back to your place!" Aijia was startled, and was about to ask carefully, but unexpectedly woke up from the dream. I thought it was just a A dream without reason, who would have known that the next day, the prison temple of Dali Temple sent someone to deliver these letters to Aijia." As he spoke, he handed the stack of letters on the table to Xun Zhi's eyes, his originally peaceful face instantly Awe-stricken, "The Ai family is a person whose eyes are almost closed, and never interferes with the emperor's political affairs, but this matter is related to the survival of the blood of my royal family. If the Ai family doesn't care, they can only look at the great foundation of the ancestors." , buried in the hands of you and me, those dirty and dirty seeds are cheap for nothing. Emperor son, Xun Jin is not the heir of the royal family at all, but the bastard of Concubine Shu and Qin Dian. For more than 20 years, the emperor has been deceived by them. Already!"

Xun Zhi scanned the letter, tightly pinching the paper letter with both hands, his eyeballs were about to protrude, and his neck stretched abruptly.Suddenly closing his eyes, a bearded face appeared in front of his eyes, and another childish face appeared. The two faces intersected, and they both wore the most common smiles on weekdays. A kind of filial piety is commendable.He opened his eyes suddenly, his long and narrow pupils were suddenly dark and cold, murderous aura overflowed from his body, as if he wanted to slaughter all the people who betrayed him in the whole world. "I finally know why you grow a beard!" Xun Zhi laughed uncontrollably, his facial muscles twisted into a ball, ferocious like an angry beast, he tore the letter into pieces with all his strength, and roared to the sky: " Come here, I want to see Concubine Shu, immediately bring Concubine Shu to see me!"

The eunuch's voice trembled outside the door: "Return to the emperor, Concubine Shu was ordered by the emperor to go to the temple to fulfill her vows this morning, but she has not returned yet."

In an instant, the sound of leaves falling could be heard.

Xun Zhi gritted his teeth: "Who else is walking with her?"

"There is also Qin Dian, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor."

Xun Zhi kicked away the chair he was sitting on, his lips were trembling, he was gasping for breath, his chest seemed to be clenched together.

The Empress Dowager thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "It must be the news that Ai's family has left the palace. Concubine Shu knew that the matter had been exposed, and she and Qin Dian tricked the emperor into fleeing under the guise of fulfilling her wish."

After the rage, Xun Yu finally regained his composure, lowered his head, and sat down weakly on the chair, "My beam is in danger! Xun Jin is now going south to suppress Luoyan Island, with an army of 20 in hand, they must have defected to him .”

The Empress Dowager's eyes sharpened when she heard the words, "The matter has come to this point, and the royal face can't be taken care of. The emperor must immediately issue an order to hunt down Concubine Shu Qin Dian, and they must not let their mother and son meet. In addition, the emperor has to rush back overnight. In the capital, the Jizhou army and horses are urgently dispatched to garrison the capital, and they are on standby at any time in case of emergencies."

Xun Zhi stood up from the chair, "What mother said is true, pass the order, and the Jizhou army will be transferred to the capital, and return to Beijing overnight." There is a fierce light in his eyes, just like a butcher who presumptuously dominates life and death, "I pass on my will, the third prince Xun Jinnan shot down Yandao, retreated northward to the Wurong tribe, and made many military exploits. It is King Xian. The other Luoyan Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is better to retreat temporarily. Xuanxian King Xunjin immediately returns to the palace to receive an order to thank you, there must be no mistake."

The Empress Dowager turned around and walked towards Xun Yu, "The Ai family also brought someone to see the emperor, the emperor must be pleased to see him." She bent down and bent Xun Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and took his hand to walk In front of Xun Zhi's eyes, "Emperor, look, who is this?"

Xun Yu looked up at him, then lowered his head slightly, then knelt down and said, "Sinner Xun Yu, see the emperor."

With a bang, the imperial pen fell to the ground.

Xun Zhi walked over slowly, with his hands clasped behind his back, and stopped not far away from him. After a long time, he said stiffly, "Raise your head and let me see."

A delicate and handsome face slowly appeared in front of my eyes, strange and far away, but like a cold key, instantly unlocking the past buried deep in my heart.Those short-lived characters covered with dust clearly jumped to my mind one by one.This face that resembled Concubine Rong exchanged a glance with him, and lowered it neither humble nor overbearing. For more than 20 years, he has seen this person a few times in total, and every time he sees him, he can recognize his identity with just one glance. He is clearly supported by a pair of crutches in his memory.Is this handsome and handsome young man in front of you really that lame man?

Xun Zhi's eyes widened, and his eyes fixed on his feet, "Are you really Xun Yu?"

With his head down, Xun Yu repeated the actions he had done many times, lifting up his trouser legs, revealing his cold iron limbs.

Xun Zhi didn't seem to stand still, he took two steps back suddenly, swallowed, his throat rumbled, and he laughed suddenly, "Hahaha, ok-ok-ok." He saw obvious ridicule on that handsome face, but he didn't want to pursue it. He staggered and turned around, pushed open the door, and with the support of the eunuch, he laughed while walking. The laughter resounded through the sky, full of sadness.It seemed as if he was laughing at the most ridiculous thing in the world, or that he himself was a big joke.

Seven days later, the imperial decree was sent to Xun Jin quickly.

"The emperor granted His Highness the Third Prince the title of King Xian, and ordered His Highness to leave immediately and return to the palace to thank you."

Xun Jin was overjoyed, knelt down to accept the imperial edict, and immediately withdrew his troops and retreated.When we reached Yuchuan, it was getting late, so we set up camp on the mountainside.

Suddenly, the guards kidnapped two people, escorted them to the entrance of Xun Jin's army camp, and said: "His Royal Highness, I have arrested two people outside the camp. They said they are relatives of His Royal Highness, and they must see His Royal Highness."

A sharp cry came from the door, "Jin'er is mother, cut off this blind dog, even dare to tie me up."

Xun Jin was slightly startled, stood up abruptly, rushed to the door, and saw two dusty people standing at the door, dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, both dressed as men, one was his mother Concubine Shu, and the other was Qin Tianjian. The supervisor is Qin Dian.Stretching out his head to look behind, there was no one else. He frowned, and the curious words came to his lips, but he swallowed them again, and untied their ropes with his own hands, "Mother Concubine? Why are you here with Lord Qin? Capital city What happened?"

The two looked at each other, Concubine Shu didn't answer, Qin Dian coughed slightly: "Your Highness the Third Prince is going back to the capital?"

Xun Jin said: "Father made me King Xian, and ordered me to return to the palace immediately to thank you."

Qin Dian plopped down on his knees and said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, don't go back to the capital."

"Why did Master Qin say that? What happened in the capital?"

"The capital city has been controlled by the rebel Xun Yu, and the emperor has also fallen into their hands. It was he who falsely passed on the imperial decree to announce the return of His Highness the Third Prince, and wanted to wipe out His Highness the Third Prince in one fell swoop. His Highness the Third Prince must not return to Beijing rashly, otherwise he will be killed." Xun Yu captured it."

"What did you say? Xun Yu took control of the capital, and his father also fell into their hands?" Xun Jin raised his eyebrows, slapped his palm on the table, walked back and forth in a hurry, then stopped suddenly, and shouted: "Send the order, Father is in trouble, so we have to speed up our journey and rush all night, and we must arrive at the capital before the end of the month to protect father."

"Jin'er can't." Concubine Shu shouted, seeing Xun Jin looking over suspiciously, her eyes flashed, and she forced a smile, "What the concubine mother means is——now that your father is under the control of others, if Jin'er really rushes back to the capital, Don't say you can't save your father, even you yourself will fall into the hands of traitors, according to mother and concubine, it's better to have a long-term plan for this matter."

Qin Dian said at the right time: "Ms. Concubine Shu endured hunger and hunger all the way, and also had to avoid Xun Yu's pursuers. After a lot of hard work, she finally escaped. She traveled thousands of miles to report to His Highness the Third Prince, just to stop the third prince from going all the way. When His Royal Highness returns to the capital, His Royal Highness the Third Prince must not go his own way, and it would be a waste of all the painstaking efforts of Concubine Shu."

After hearing the words, Xun Jin sat down silently, pondered for a while, and then said: "It's getting late, mother and concubine should have a good rest tonight, and the child will have a long talk with mother and concubine tomorrow."

Concubine Shu and Qin Dian went back to their tents.

After tea and dinner, Concubine Shu called someone to fetch a bucket of hot water, took off her men's clothes, took a bath and dressed up, then closed her eyes and rested.He sat up suddenly again, opened the curtain and went out, seeing no one around, tilted his head and thought for a while, then walked quickly to Qin Dian's camp.

When they were approaching, the soldiers found that Concubine Shu was alone, and hurriedly followed behind Concubine Shu. When they saw her enter Qin Dian's camp, they stopped immediately, hesitated, turned around and came to Xun Jin's main camp, and said respectfully: "Qin Dian According to His Royal Highness, Concubine Shu has gone to Lord Qin's tent."

Xun Jin sat up suddenly, before he had time to put on his clothes, he grabbed his lapel and growled, "Is this really true?"

"His Royal Highness Xian asked the villain to look at Concubine Shu in a good way, and the villain dare not speak half a lie."

Xun Jin rolled his eyes, let go of him suddenly, turned his head for a long time, and then turned back, but helped him straighten his messed up skirts, and smiled: "Oh, I remembered, it was me I made an appointment with my concubine and Lord Qin to discuss important matters in the capital tonight, it’s none of your business, you go down.” He took off the knife and strode towards Qin Dian’s barracks, just as he lifted the curtain, but Freeze in place.

I could only hear a suppressed panting from inside.

"Hmm - it's so cold, damn, what did you put in?"

"Guess, baby?" Qin Dian panted and laughed, "Master wants to eat crushed grape juice."

The bed board creaked.

"When will Baby tell Jin'er the truth?"

His name is Jin'er?Jin'er is also his name?Xun Jin pulled out the saber at his waist, yelled, and threw himself on the two people on the bed. Qin Dian dodged sideways, and rolled out of the bed naked. This fright, the originally rough things suddenly softened.

Seeing the sudden change, Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, looked at Xun Jin who was facing the veins bursting out with a knife, wrapped the quilt tightly with one hand to cover the exposed spring light, and grabbed his arm with the other hand, Looking at him with tears in her eyes, she shook her head beggingly.

Xun Jin pushed her away vigorously, let her jump to the corner of the bed, stared fiercely at Qin Dian who was on the ground, with anger in his eyes, and slashed at him with a knife, Qin Dian rolled on the ground, dodged in embarrassment, his face was covered with Khan sweating, he hurriedly said in a panic: "Don't kill me, you can't kill me, I am your biological father!"

The sharp knife followed, and the moves became more and more fierce.Xun Jin spat at him fiercely, and yelled heavily: "Shut up! Shameless lewd, obscene things! You are so stubborn when you are about to die. If you don't kill you, you will be blind."

Concubine Shu said in a hoarse voice: "Stop! Mother Jin begs you to stop! What he said is true, he is really your biological father! Whose son are you, mother doesn't know?"

The blood of the whole body came up, and the neck was also flushed.Xun Jin held the saber tightly, his hands trembling uncontrollably, pointing at the tip of Qin Dian's saber, whimpering and sobbing.For a while, neither advance nor retreat, just like a wild beast trapped in a desperate situation.

Suddenly there was a loud cry, and Xun Jin used all his strength to pierce Qin Dian's heart with a sharp knife, a terrifying grin appeared on his face, his voice became hoarse, and he said every word: "Listen well, My father is Xun Zhi, the Emperor of Liang, and has nothing to do with you. As for you, Qin Dian, you are just my father and a dog beside me. If I want to kill him, I will kill him. It might be my father." After that, with a touch of madness, he quickly drew out the knife again, blood splashed on his face, he didn't care at all, as if he tasted the pleasure of revenge, and the anger in his chest was also vented, his gaze shifted from Qin Dian's reluctance With his face down, he glanced disdainfully at the cockroach with sticky substance, just like seeing a weak fat intestine, but it was more disgusting than a fly in the latrine.He slashed between his legs with a sharp knife, chopped off the long part of the thumb, and then threw the knife down, as if the knife had become dirty, and wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes, leaving behind a stunned Shu Fei. , sent someone to guard her door, not allowing anyone to step in or out, and leaving without looking back.

Xun Jin laughed, I will not listen to your lies!My father is the emperor of Daliang, and I am the dignified prince.My father said that when I return to the capital with military merits, I will be made a crown prince by decree, and I will personally choose a crown prince and concubine for me to marry!If he wasn't my biological father, how could he treat me like this?Don't you all try to lie to me!

Drumming all night, Xun Jin gathered the crowd together, and then raised his knife and shouted: "pass down the order, and set off to Beijing immediately to meet the emperor." , rode on.
