Emperor Que Shaohua

On the [-]th day of the second lunar month, I heard the sound of drums rising from the ground like spring thunder in the evening.The civil servants and military generals who had returned to their respective mansions from the government office were all frightened, and they put down their affairs and hurried to Miyagi.However, the gate of Chonghua Palace was closed, and the emperor had no intention of summoning all the officials to enter. The officials did not dare to disperse, so they had to gather outside Taihe Gate to wait for news.

When the earth-shattering drum sound came, Emperor Tianyi had just bathed and was having dinner, he was so shaken that he couldn't eat anymore, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and set off.The Luo family's ancestral precepts clearly stated that once the evening drum sounds, it means that the situation is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. As long as the emperor is in Miyagi, he must arrive at the Zichen Palace within a moment at the latest without any delay.This instruction itself contains the meaning of warning and hidden responsibility, forcing the subjects not to follow the usual way, but to choose to beat the drums at their own risk. It is the negligence of the emperor itself. How can we protect Yuzhou and Jiangshan like this?

When Concubine Lian was sent to the gate of Zhiting Palace, a servant rushed to report. It was His Royal Highness Yun who rang the Xiwen Drum, saying that His Royal Highness Jing was wronged and his life was in danger, and he wanted to express his feelings to the Holy Spirit in the Zichen Palace on his behalf. Redress your grievances, and ask His Majesty to give medicine to His Royal Highness to continue his life.Emperor Tianyi was furious: "It's against the sky, when did Linpian enter the palace? I didn't see him handing over a sign to ask for an interview. I only had to rest for an hour, and he dared to stir up big things. He wanted me to be ridiculed by all officials and people." Is it?"

He originally thought that Concubine Lian would plead guilty and intercede for King Yun in panic, but Concubine Lian's expression was only a little surprised, and then she returned to her composure, and handed a small saving box to Wu Yong: "Your Majesty hasn't finished dinner yet." , Manager Wu should take these snacks with him for emergency."

Sitting on the imperial chariot, the emperor couldn't help feeling a little bored in his heart.He had lost his temper a few times today, but perhaps he had almost poured out his anger, and at this moment he was somewhat stern.King Yun's military exploits are outstanding, he is the highest among the several princes except for the prince, but this is not the main reason for his headache.

The fourth prince was born unusually beautiful since he was a child, making people like him at first glance, and the order of seniority is small, so he is naturally pampered and spoiled.Luo Linpian is not used to any bad habits, but her temperament is not the usual haughty, it can be said that her eyes are clean and she doesn't rub the sand.With the growth of age and experience, his appearance became more and more peerless, and his personality became more and more difficult to deal with.On weekdays, I see him as aloof and self-willed, not in the mood to find trouble with anyone, once something catches his eye or provokes his temper, he must not be taken care of by him, otherwise he will definitely not forgive others, ignore it, and explode to the point of failure. unattainable level.I thought that I would be a little more sophisticated and easy-going when I came back from the border experience, but now it seems that my nature is hard to change.

Thinking of Prince Jing who was still kneeling outside Changning Palace, the emperor felt uncomfortable for a while. Apart from Guan Ling's identity, he really couldn't find any other decent reason to deal with Luo Yanhua, and even delayed to give the antidote to the poison.It is not the first time that King Yun has seen King Jing being embarrassed. The Taiyuan Hospital still has lingering fears about the scene of the fourth prince's outrage four years ago.

Thinking that King Yun was waiting in the Zichen Palace to argue with him, it was impossible to cover up the situation, and tomorrow it would be known to all courts, and then everyone would know, the emperor's temples ached, and he couldn't stop being very angry.A few days ago, Luo Linpian came to the palace to say hello. He remembered that it would be three months since the teacher returned, so he wanted to arrange some court affairs to see how the fourth prince's ability in government affairs is.Unexpectedly, Luo Linpian refused, and said lazily: "Father, I want to rest and don't want to do anything, so please let me go and let me continue to idle around."

Emperor Tianyi was so angry and funny, so he couldn't keep his face straight, and let him tell him what to do. King Yun even brought out the old wounds he had suffered on the battlefield, and firmly expressed that he just wanted to rest on the merits of the battle.

Although it is unavoidable to be angry with him, but in the emperor's suspicious heart, he feels comfortable and at ease. Luo Linpian does not want to seize power, but only wants to enjoy the family relationship and live a leisurely life. At least it means that he has no ambitions and values ​​family affection more. This is exactly what is missing from the emperor's side.

But at this moment, Emperor Tianyi not only has a headache, but also his molars are itchy with anger. King Yun's actions are too ignorant, not to mention that the Tian family has no personal affairs, even if it is only about family affection, the son forced his father out of the harem. Losing is also a big unfilial piety!I have always been too conniving and tolerant of his nature.

The imperial chariot walked in a hurry, and Wu Yong almost trotted beside him. He paid attention to Emperor Tianyi's face, there was no sign of violent anger again, but of course he couldn't see where he was going.I also know that it is not easy to control the furious fourth prince. King Yun has made great contributions to the country but does not take the credit, and he is used to letting go, which is the most helpless.When he passed Jingqing Gate, a royal guard gestured, and the panic in his heart calmed down a bit. Since Li Pinglan was already controlling the situation, order should be restored in the palace soon.

Along the road, another servant stepped forward quickly, followed closely by biting his ear, and reported what happened in the front palace. Wu Yong only got a general idea, and then gasped.He didn't expect King Jing's situation to be so serious. The other four princes and one princess were all involved, and they were clearly separated. No one wanted to stay out of the matter. It didn't look like the situation could be resolved.

When the sound of drums came overwhelmingly, the prince couldn't stay outside Changning Palace any longer.Who has the guts to use the Xiwen drum to shake the palace city and force the emperor out?King Ning's eyes seemed to kill him every inch, Luo Wenxiao glanced at the unconscious King Jing in his arms, turned around and ran towards Zichen Palace.I have miscalculated today, and I am doomed to be passive, but the outcome has not yet been decided.King Ning is here, so who is it that went up to the Chaoxi Building to beat the drums without authorization?He only prayed for one thing now: King Yun must never come to the palace too.

Luo Pingyuan carried King Jing to the Zichen Palace, he refused to let the panicked servants take over, he used lightness kung fu, his feet were steady, although he was still very fast while supporting the people, in a short while, the tall cornices of the Zichen Palace appeared in front of his eyes.

Someone stood in front of the road and blocked him: "Your Highness Fifth, Your Majesty is coming soon, you can't enter the palace like this." The voice was steady, and the presence of this figure seemed to be enough to calm down when the palace city was in turmoil and panic. All storms.

"Commander Li, are you going to stop me from looking for an antidote to my father?" Luo Pingyuan asked, his voice was calm, but it seemed that a storm was brewing.

"Your Highness Fifth, calm down. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven after all. If you want him to come up with the antidote, you can't force it directly. You have to find the right time. His Highness King Yun needs your support." Li Pinglan said, "If your Highness can trust you, King Jing will Your Highness entrusted it to me, and protect his vitality first, otherwise his life will be in danger if it is delayed for a long time."

Luo Pingyuan shivered, his mind, which had been drowsy from the acute pain, sobered up a bit.Indeed, if the pressure was too tight, the emperor would become angry and would not give in, and it would be a deadly situation, which would actually harm the emperor's brother.A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he was grateful in his heart: "Thank you Commander Li, I will entrust the emperor to you, and I will take good care of him."

"Calm down, Manager Wu will help you." Li Pinglan usually doesn't say much, but King Ning's face is really not right, so he clicked again.He watched Luo Pingyuan leave, looked down and saw King Jing's breath was weak, and a few strands of hair were soaked in sweat, sticking messily to the side of his face, he couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart.At this moment, the emperor was too busy to take care of himself, and no longer cared about whether King Jing was still kneeling as a punishment. He said to the guards behind him, "Go to the Dongnuan Pavilion." A thick and peaceful internal force was sent in, protecting the heart veins.

At the beginning of Wushi, the Son of Heaven ascended to the Zichen Hall, looked down, and was a little surprised to find that not only King Yun, who was dressed in white as snow, but also the other three princes were present.Originally, there was only King An in the palace, but later I heard that the crown prince also came to greet him, why did he not leave, why did King Yun and King Ning suddenly enter the palace in the evening?If the news spread outside the palace, they would have arrived too soon.In addition, there are actually several clan relatives in the palace, among them are the most prestigious Prince Duan and Prince Rui.

His brows furrowed, and his displeasure grew even more. Tomorrow, he must find out who is doing the tricks!

"Fourth emperor brother, let's see what kind of good things you have done? A little bit of dissatisfaction stirred up the Nine Cities and disturbed the emperor's rest. Father doesn't take it seriously either, when Luo City is Shao'an? You are a felony!" King An was stunned by Xi Wengu just now, and when he heard that King Jing's life was in jeopardy, he felt that the whole thing was beyond the limit. Unexpectedly, it was actually a hand-to-hand, desperate fight.But when he saw Luo Linpian, his teeth itched. Knowing that it would be useless to speak now, he still couldn't help but attack him.

Emperor Tianyi had a gloomy face. If he didn't speak, he was acquiescing to Luo Junping's accusation.

King Yun was not in the mood to tangle with King An, and he did not even look at him from the corner of his eyes. He saluted himself and said, "Father, my son just entered the palace to greet you. I don't want to hear that Guan Ling was accused of being a thief, and Father condemned the emperor because of it." Brother, there is something else in this, brother Dahuang really has a grievance, and my ministers are very anxious, so I have no choice but to ask my father to ascend to the palace to learn from him."

Emperor Tianyi saw that his voice was cold, and the first sentence was to distinguish for King Jing, and he didn't even owe an apology, and his heart became more and more unhappy; he didn't ask King Yun what was wrong, and said with a sneer: "I'm in the imperial study. In the afternoon, I didn't see you coming to say hello, but I asked the eldest prince to reflect for two hours, then you hurriedly rushed to the palace gates, beating the drums and knocking the bell, and I had to come out of the harem to see you before I could even finish my meal. The fourth prince's greeting is really a coincidence. I can't afford to invite you to be unprecedented and famous in history. From now on, I should go to Yun Wang's mansion to greet you. Hundreds of officials go to court day and night, and the people of Luo City cannot sleep peacefully!"

The few clan relatives were all pale. The emperor's words were very tricky and merciless. Given how much he favored the fourth prince, such heavy words were unique, so it can be seen that he was genuinely angry.

Luo Linpian is quite familiar with the nature of this father, and when he is not sure of the reason, he must bluff first to win others. If the other party is a little timid and retreats from the emperor's prestige, he will be crushed immediately, and it is too late to plead guilty. I'm afraid that even the chance to export is gone.When he saw that the emperor didn't ask why, he came up with this way of oppressing others, messing around and delaying time, and the anger in his heart increased by three points.Still thinking of King Jing's antidote, he suppressed his temper, and said lightly: "Good Godfather, the emperor heard that Luoshui thawed, and I went out for a spring outing this morning. I was originally scheduled to return to the city tomorrow. It happened to be late. Seeing peach blossoms just blooming on the west side of Luoshui, she was very Mingyan, so she decided to send some peach blossoms to the palace, so that the father, the emperor, and the mother and concubine could enjoy the spring together. I never thought that I would go all the way, but something happened in the palace. Lots of incidents."

As he spoke, he turned around and asked, "Where are the peach blossoms I brought? Hurry up and bring them up! If your father doesn't believe it, you can ask his subordinates, whether they were newly folded by Luoshui?"

Immediately two guards came over from the corner of the hall, both holding big bouquets of peach blossoms in their hands, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the little ones have just returned from outside the city with His Highness the Fourth Highness, and now only the peach blossoms on the west bank of Luoshui are in bloom. I dare not lie."

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the peach branches were fresh and ready to bloom, which proved that what King Yun said was true.

Emperor Tianyi's mind was not on flowers at all, he heard the fourth prince talking about the west side of Luoshui, and suddenly thought of "north of Hanzhang, west of Luoshui", his heart was shocked.

The verse that the Fifth Prince Luo Pingyuan brought back from the Hanshan Sect was written by Su Lingxue, the master of the Xuanji Pavilion, and it was written by observing the stars with the real Hanshan, so it is particularly credible.After he learned the meaning of it, he remembered it and kept it in his heart.

To the north of Hanzhang, to the west of Luoshui, a dark star will rise and assist our emperor;

Ever since the agreement was made on the day of his birthday, King Jing returned to the court, and he did his best to support the emperor's career in secret.However, King Yun, who is so handsome in front of him, not only pacified the northern border and forced the Liao people to sue for peace, but also resigned from the military appointment from the day of the squadron, and devoted himself to recuperating.Xuanji Pavilion Master said the verses to herald the fate of Yu and Zhou in the next few years, and now that one year has passed, there is no doubt that the first two sentences have come true.It seems that in the not-too-distant future, ZTE's prosperity is coming.

Emperor Tianyi was preoccupied with dealing with King Jing and how to deal with the aftermath all day long, but he didn't think about this fundamental matter.Thinking of this, his mind became a little confused, and his momentum also dropped. He only heard that King Yun continued: "I only found out when I arrived in the palace that the elder brother was punished innocently, and his life was imminent. My son wanted to see you." Father, tell the truth and explain it to him. Unexpectedly, the crown prince didn't know whether he obeyed the order, but at this moment, he sent someone to seal the Jingqing gate, saying that even if there is a big event, you can't send letters to the harem. I can't find a servant in the palace, and besides, there is the second brother's strict order to guard it. Not to mention human beings, I am afraid that even a mosquito will not be able to fly to the Zhiting Palace. The life of the first brother is already hanging by a thread. He is my brother Yu Zhou. A pillar of power, unexpectedly suffered such a strange injustice within a day, and my son had no choice but to go up to the Chaoxi Tower and beat the drums to see the father. I hope that your majesty will make amends for the trouble."

When the clan members arrived in the palace, they all knew that the crown prince controlled the front palace and was not allowed to report. King Yun's words concealed a sharp edge, but it sounded polite and beyond reproach.May I ask where the prince's identity is? If the fourth prince forcibly breaks into the harem, he will not be able to escape the responsibility of committing a crime in terms of etiquette; and Xiwengu is passed down by his ancestors. , but can't find anything wrong.

Emperor Tianyi did not expect that the crown prince would dare to isolate the front and back palaces without his approval, contrary to the respectful and low-key these days, his intentions were clearly revealed.He knew that it was impossible for King Yun to speak falsely about such a matter, so he couldn't help but cast a deep glance at Luo Wenxiao.

The prince also had a set of eloquent and emotional arguments as an excuse. Seeing that the situation was not good and he was about to speak, he felt a cold and sharp gaze from the side staring at him, only to hear Luo Pingyuan say coldly: "His Royal Highness, Father I don't have time to listen to your gossip now, if you don't want to make things get out of hand, I advise you to shut up first."

Luo Wenxiao immediately choked up and didn't dare to make a sound.For King Ning to say this, he must have a clue, and Lin Huai'an is the key to his layout, so he couldn't help but feel guilty and timid, with cold sweat seeping out from behind, but he didn't realize it at all.

The emperor was not in the mood to pay attention to the verbal disputes between the princes. The prince's move violated his taboo, but now is not the time to settle accounts.He was greatly shaken in his heart, but he was still very unhappy when he heard Luo Linpian left saying that he was innocently punished, and another that he suffered a strange injustice.All the officials of the imperial court are gathering outside the gate of Taihe, waiting to know why the Xiwen drum is ringing. If the story of King Yun spreads, has he become a foolish king who does not know what to do?He asked in a deep voice: "What basis do you have to dare to say that the eldest prince is innocent in public? If you present real evidence, I will forgive you for trespassing on the Chaoxi Building, otherwise, even if you have military exploits, I will not forgive you."

"Father, please," Luo Linpian said. He had never been an emperor since he was a child, and he seemed to have never heard of the threat hidden in his tone. It was found that he was good at martial arts, but he was not good at hiding his whereabouts, and was often noticed when he was hiding. The minister felt very humiliated, and punished him from time to time, ordering him to train harder. He was not blamed, but he came up with a way, He often sneaks out of the palace after curfew at night, and sneaks around in Los Angeles, trying not to disturb the night guards, so as to improve his skills."

When everyone saw that he suddenly mentioned a little shadow guard beside him, they were all stunned, not knowing what he meant.King Yun continued: "Little Huo, tell me quickly what you saw around Xihuamen around five o'clock last night."

A young man in a dark blue dress flashed out from the corner of the hall. He had a handsome appearance, but he had an indescribably sturdy and agile gesture.As if he was not used to being exposed to so many gazes, he bowed his head and gave a salute: "After the fourth watch last night, my subordinates were wandering around the Xihua Gate, and suddenly saw the gate opened and a group of mule carts were put in. Because The first time I saw a car entering the city in the middle of the night, I couldn't help following it, wanting to find out what the mule cart was for and where it was going. After quietly following for a while, I found that each cart was carrying a huge A wooden barrel filled with clean water and nothing else. The subordinate felt bored, and when he was about to leave, he saw one of them stopped by the side of the road, followed by two people coming out from the dark corner of the street, and one of them held a Looking at a lump of things, they turned out to be a motionless boy. They quickly jumped into the car, opened the tarpaulin, stuffed the boy into an empty bucket, then covered the car cover as it was, jumped out of the car and fled It disappeared around the corner. The car continued on its way as if nothing had happened."

Everyone in the hall was dazed when they heard it. The shadow guard didn't seem to speak much on weekdays, his voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke clearly. For other matters, the convoy went all the way to the palace city, and drove into the Chonghua Palace one by one from the corner gate in the northwest. It would be about five o'clock. The subordinates couldn't enter the palace gate, so I don't know what happened afterwards."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside.The hall was silent for a while, and Li Pinglan was not present. The deputy commander, Yuan Xusheng, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Xishan Spring entered the palace at five o'clock and was going to be sent to the imperial dining room. The subordinates found that Guan Ling's location is very close, and the time can be matched." .”

At this point, even those who didn't understand the situation at first understood, Prince Duan took the lead to say: "Your Majesty, this is a frame-up to frame the prince, as long as the person who is responsible for delivering water to the palace is arrested, he will know for a trial! "

"My shadow guard is afraid of being punished, so I dare not report the matter of sneaking out of the mansion. My son is negligent in discipline, and he will be severely punished after returning to the mansion." King Yun's voice was cold, and the matter was finished. Bai said: "Father, please forgive Brother Dahuang immediately, and give him medicine to prolong his life first!"

Luo Pingyuan immediately bowed down together: "Father, Emperor Mingjian, Guan Ling has indeed disappeared two days ago. It is suspected that he was kidnapped by the Kunlun Mansion and set up a frame. Yan Yin, my son and younger brother, can testify, and you can tell him if you ask him." I know. Brother Dahuang is dying, please give me the antidote first." After a while, King Jing will suffer an unimaginable torture.

The two princes knelt down. Prince Duan and Prince Rui were pulled here temporarily. They had been in the clan court all year round. Seeing King Yun and King Ning eager to find the cure, they all understood. Vicious, but the emperor is narrow-minded, and now that his secretive methods have been exposed, it is really disgraceful.The matter has come to this point, and it is too late to stay out of it, so they stepped forward together to intercede.
