Chapter 571 Cover up the truth and still look back
The big window on the wall of the foreign book landlord yearns to open. In the morning, the cloudy sunlight passed through the flowers and leaves and shallowly crossed the lintel. The light and shadow was not as good as the dark blue brick surface, illuminating the floating dust of the window one foot flat.
In front of the painting screen of a row of literati banquet friends in the middle of the room, there were two rose chairs. Yu Yu sat on the left. When he heard that Miao Shimo was sent by the third prince, he seemed to officially focus on the middle-aged man in front of him. He speculated that more than 30 years ago, when Master Xie San led the army to suppress the Yungui cult, he might not have been in his early childhood. How did you escape the bloody massacre?
"My father and ancestors all died in the internal fighting of the Miao family. At the end of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, they were exiled to Xiliang with their aunt." As if he expected that the son of the world would have such doubts, Miao Shimo explained that he bowed slightly at this time and maintained appropriate respect.
Yu Yu's finger on the handle moved gently, and then said, "Please take a seat."
The maidservant beside her presented tea and slowly withdrew from the study under the gaze of the prince.
In the quiet morning, there was only the sound of the south wind blowing through the flowers and leaves outside the house.
Yu Yu did not go to bring the tea cup, but looked at the solemn visitors beside him and was silent.
This time is not too long, but the palm of Miao Shimo's knee has been gradually soaked with sweat.
"What I can promise is that I will try my best to ensure that His Highness will return to Beijing safely and will not be investigated."
This made Miao Shimo raise his eyes and hold his palm involuntarily.
Yu Yu's eyes gently swept over his mood and understood that this was not his intention. Of course, it must not be.
Then he heard Miao Shimo say, "Your Highness told me that the son should know more about what he has done than ordinary people. Princess Chu was also murdered in those years. Is the son willing to give up revenge for his mother for the word power, and let the murderer have no freedom?"
The third prince expected that the scenery would inevitably tell the true cause of Wanfei's death.
Sure enough, this layout has long been formed, but Yu Yu didn't expect that the third prince would be on him.
"Where is Your Highness now? Are you still hiding in Jinyang? The son of the world asked indifferently.
"This is impossible." Miao Shimo did not hesitate at first, but in an instant, he was a little uncertain: "It's really dangerous to stay in Kyoto, Your Highness... so that you won't be in danger."
Yu Yu withdrew his measured eyes and slightly raised the corners of his eyes. He saw that Miao Shimo was not good at attacking his heart. His words and deeds today were obviously all instructed by the third prince. It's hard to say whether the madman was lurking in Kyoto. What is certain is that even if he is still here, Miao Shimo is also *.
"In my opinion, it is not difficult for the Third Highness to take revenge. When you are in power, who can stop the life of the queen and mother and son?" Yu Yu said again.
"Your Highness has his own reason not to bend the bush." Miao Shimo almost refuted. He thought of the master's explanation before leaving, saying that the son might not easily allow it, so he should persuade--
"Your Highness asked me to tell you that even if the prince did not remember what he had made on that day, he should still read the big gift given in front of His Highness... Yu Dong, the general of the country, his life was given by His Highness. The prince should understand that it was too much to involve Yu Dong in since his early farewell." Miao Shimo repeated the third prince's instructions nervously.
Since the third prince intended to make things leak, of course, he would not care about falling alive. Yu Dong did not take advantage of it at all.
Seeing that Yu Yu still did not say anything, Miao Shimo became more and more anxious and blurted out the third prince's final confession: "Your Highness, your Highness knows that you are loyal to the emperor, and let me tell me a word of advice. You are unpredictable, and it is wise for the prince to have some reservations... By now, the prince has been abolished, and Your Highness will never Let go of the queen, the reserve is vacant, and the holy will is in a dilemma. As long as the prince helps the Third Highness achieve his wish, the King of Fu may not have the opportunity to win the 95th Five-Year Plan. Compared with Qin and Chen, the emperor is bound to trust Su and Chu more.
The emperor had already determined the heart of the crown prince and intended to let the third prince inherit the throne. Unexpectedly, he suddenly picked up his son and did not do it, and the ownership of the reserve became unresolved. The fourth prince undoubtedly became the most powerful "recommended", and only the Duke of Wei and the king of Chu could compete with him.
If the two governments jointly support King Fu, there may be no chance of winning. In the future, the reform of the military system will inevitably make the monarchs and ministers work together. The emperor cannot pass the throne to the most favorite prince, and it is not impossible to choose the person who can be assisted by his relatives.
Once the fourth prince gets the throne, he will not abandon Qin, Chen and Chongsu and Chu; the seventh prince is Liang Zhaoyi and is unbearable. He has a close relationship with the queen's family, and most of the emperor will not belong to him. The rest of the princes have their own mother clans, and the emperor is not assured to hand over power. In the future, the new king will be a foreign relative to consolidate his power, which will make the court fight against politics. It is not conducive to the reform of the official system, and even more unfavorable to the general policy of reforming the military system in the future.
With no third prince, King Fu may really be able to fight for the sacred heart.
The more fierce competition for storage positions is imminent, and it is no longer subjective.
"Your Highness is bothered." Yu Yu smiled sarcastically and glanced at Miao Shimo: "The third prince counted so many people I owed in one breath, and specially asked you to tell me that there should be an intention, right? Do you want something?"
Miao Shimo stood up and took two steps forward, but suddenly knelt down as soon as he lifted his robe: "There is only one request. If the son of the world gets revenge, I hope he can break the body of the person who killed his father with his own hands."
"I promise you." Yu Yu just served the tea cup, which obviously meant to see off the guests.
The Miao family's poison can't be prevented. It is not a good thing to keep such a hidden danger at home, and Miao Shimo is a close friend of the third prince. Yu Yu is not confident to accept him for his own use. It is better to stay away from it, so as not to cause trouble again.
When he returned to Guan Suiyuan, he saw that Yijing was worried and full of concern. After a little hesitation, he still told his wife about the conversation with Miao Shimo. In fact, Miao Shimo did not say how the third prince wanted Yu to return that favor, and obviously Yu Yu was already sure. The third prince also seemed to think that there was no need to be clear, so And Miao Shimo didn't talk too much.
And even the scenery, obviously had a conviction in his heart, and he couldn't help saying, "Let me say this, you just don't know anything about it."
Obviously, I am worried that there will be a gap between Yu and the emperor.
"If the emperor really wants to blame us for hiding this matter, even if I don't come forward, can you and I be alone?" Yu Yu smiled warmly and hugged Yijing in his arms: "Don't worry, the emperor has long been biased and intends to cover up the evidence of guilt for the third prince. My words broke the suffering of the third prince, which is the holy heart."
Seeing that Yijing was still worried, Yu Yu kissed her ear: "Yijing, next is more unpredictable. Maybe I can't be distracted. You promise me to protect yourself well when I'm not around. From today on, I will let Aunt Li live in Guan Suiyuan and never leave you. Step by step, before confirming that the third prince leaves the country, you must stay in the royal palace and don't go out. Only if you are safe and sound, I have no worries.
At present, the intention of the third prince has been clear, and he will not stay in Dalong. Yu is worried that the madman, even because of Wanfei, also has an obsession with the scenery. If in Dalong, even if the third prince becomes the 9th Five-Year Plan, he can't occupy the wife of the clan in vain. If the pressure is too tight, Yu can take it out. The emperor gave an order to go to the vassal and hold the Chuzhou garrison, which can also restrain the imperial power, which is enough to protect himself.
But if this madman will take the scenery to Xiliang...
Yijing obviously also thought of this possibility. She didn't think that the third prince really admired her and couldn't stop, but because she was unwilling to ask for it. The demon actually had a crazy stubbornness to take the throne and revenge in his own way. It was hard to imagine how many crazy things he would do because of his unwillingness.
"I only know that Aunt Li is a sister and her husband is a royal soldier. It seems that I haven't asked them in detail." When the maids prepared for breakfast, the scene asked.
"The father of the two Aunt Li is his grandfather's old family. He once fought on the battlefield with his grandfather. He is really loyal. Unfortunately, he died of illness a few years ago... The soldiers they married are also two brothers, surnamed Xiao, and their father is also his grandfather's old army, and he is still in Chuzhou." Yu Yu's brief explanation.
Yi Jing nodded slightly. No wonder Aunt Li has such skills. It turned out that their father was also the old family of the king of Chu, and the two families seemed to be loyal to the king of Chu.
After breakfast, I saw that Yu Yu had no intention of resting, but changed a set of clothes to go out. Yijing persuaded him, "I'm not in a hurry. The emperor gasped last night. I don't think he will see you so soon. You can also sleep for a while."
"I have to go to Qingping'an."
"Are you going to see Master Jingping?"
Yu Yu nodded slightly: "She is a witness of Concubine Wan in those years, and she is not allowed to see her at any time."
The son went and did not return until the next day. It turned out that he had just been picked up Jingping. A group of cars and just arrived at the Zhengfang and met the waiter and horses in the palace. It turned out that it was the emperor's edict.
Yu Xi simply let Jingping accompany him into the imperial city and let her meet at Zhengyang Gate. He first followed his inner servant into the palace, but the emperor was not in the Qianming Palace, but temporarily rested in Lanshan.
In a day, it was difficult for the emperor to hide his illness and could not even sit up. He leaned against the bright yellow brocade pillow of Luo Han** and didn't have time to speak. First, he coughed sharply, his eyebrows appeared blue, and his lips were pale and bloodless.
"Your Majesty, you should also put the dragon body first." Yu Yu kowtowed and felt very heavy. The third prince's wayward move was obviously a great blow to the emperor.
"Free gift, far away, sit closer." The emperor waved his hand to prevent the chief internal servant General Zhan, who wanted to come forward to heal his back and breathe, and motioned him to lead the crowd out of the warm pavilion, with slightly trembling fingertips, and a red sandalwood circle chair on the left side.
Yesterday, the unclean incident, the previously unknown emperor immediately ordered the father and son of the king of Chu and Su Zhi to meet inside, ordering the Duke of Wei to strictly enforce Kyoto, and must be aware of the crime of assassinating the crown prince.
Until the evening, Yu Dong was arrested, and the emperor personally interrogated him. He knew that the originator was the third prince with high expectations, and he almost did not spit out a mouthful of blood immediately.
Hesitating whether she should discuss countermeasures with several believers, but the queen got the wind first. Su Yi went to kneel in front of the Qianming Palace and asked the emperor to severely punish the third prince, a sinner who conspired with others.
Fortunately, there were only a few ministers and cronies in the Qianming Palace, so this matter could be temporarily pressed without publicity.
At this time, Yu Yu did not rise up in response to the order and still knelt on the ground: "Your Holiness, I have a report, I hope you are accurate."
The emperor coughed again. After a good rest, he stopped, sat up slightly, and only raised his hand to give permission.
"I'm sorry for speculating that when the prince was assassinated this time, the Queen's testimony was not groundless. I think that the Third Highness indeed has a motive."
The emperor frowned heavily: "What do you say?"
"It is because Concubine Wan did not die of illness, and the Third Highness knew the truth, so he had a grudge against the queen's mother and son."
"What did you say?" The emperor grasped the handle tightly: "I have never concealed the death of Sanlang Wanfei, but because of the work of Beiyuan... What does it have to do with the queen!"
"Holy graceful." Yu Yu's voice was heavy: "Your Highness is intelligent and intelligent, which is really early wisdom... Although His Highness was only one year old when Concubine Wan died, he witnessed it with his own eyes..." Then he said the beginning and end of the matter carefully. Yu Wei crawled slightly: "On that day, because of a moment of anger, His Highness forced Jingping Ni to admit the truth. Master Jingpingni was waiting for the order now. It can be confirmed by the edict.
The warm pavilion suddenly fell into silence. Yu Yu lowered his eyes and did not see the silence floating on his face gradually ease, but turned into sorrow and desolation.
It took a moment for the son to hear a sad smile.
"I finally understand why he did this, and he must kill the prince!" When the emperor gasped heavily and shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes were wet and red: "The retribution is my retribution. If I had known this, I shouldn't have... Sanlang, after all, he resented me..." Another sudden cough, and the emperor's face became paler and paler.
Yu Yu didn't have time to carefully understand the meaning of the emperor's words, so he got up, got involved with the unstable emperor, gently stroked his back and comforted him: "Your Holiness..." He couldn't say anything, but his arm was grasped tightly by the emperor: "I can no longer be sorry for their mother and son, otherwise... When you enter Huangquan, how can you face... far away, this matter can't Zhang Yang, you must not let Sanlang bear the blame, otherwise even Xiliang will not allow him... What I am saying now, if you listen well, this matter can only be handed over to you.
Tianzi closed his eyes for a while, and it was not easy to calm down. He clenched Yu's arm and said a good rest.
"We will let this matter calm down and assassinate the prince as a plot for the spy in Beiyuan." The emperor finally said.
Yu Yu understood that the emperor had not given up the third prince at this time, and expected that he could "turn back to the shore". He couldn't help sighing secretly. When he saw that the emperor was full of illness, he finally couldn't bear it. He only hugged and said, "I will obey the holy order."
