Chapter 576 Know the truth and hide it

The third prince got up and leaned forward: "You said, if I allow them! Allow them to cover up the truth in this way, exchange the injustice of the mother's concubine for the throne, and allow the woman's son to enjoy glory with the honor of the prince, and let the woman mourn after her death and still be buried in the imperial mausoleum! Even if I sit on the throne of Dalong, I step on the death of my mother's concubine, and on my head is the compensation and gift of my father. I must rely on the assistance of my rival to achieve imperial power!"

"That's my life, that's a complete loss. My father made up for his apology to his mother's concubine, but he can close his eyes to death. What face will I see my mother's concubine in a hundred years in the future? Even the queen will laugh at me, because although I won the throne, thanks to her, she killed the person she admired of the emperor and completed me as a wicked seed.

"If I want to win the throne of Dalong, I can fight for it myself. I don't need anyone's mercy to make up for it. If I don't want it, no one can impose it. I want them to understand that I don't let them manipulate it." The third prince suddenly laughed: "I just realized that whether it was hiding my light and biding my time or trying to govern, it was all nonsense. I didn't do anything, and the throne was also mine. Because my mother and concubine died and was killed by the queen, my father wanted to make up for it from the beginning."

"Dongchang, if I take over this throne, all my previous efforts will be a joke."

The prince in a jade robe gently tidyed up the sleeves of the robe, sat down safely, held a glass of wine, and looked out of the window.

All the changes occurred in the sixth year of Yuanqing, the night after Yu Yu and Yijing's wedding, there was a drunken conversation between father and son in the appendix.

When the third prince entered Tongling Pass, he heard that the emperor had given the marriage of the son of Chu and Princess Guangping. He was as anxious as a banquet, but it was still useless. That day, he rushed back to the inner city and rode a tired horse to the imperial court, but suddenly laughed at himself - what can he save? Even if he is unwilling to accept it, he can only admit that he has never got the man's heart. He tried his best to fight for it, and even risked his life, but he couldn't get her promise and heart.

I lost early in the morning, losing to Yu Yu and also to her.

The proud son of heaven, who was tired of stepping on the golden saddle outside the main gate, felt indeed frustrated for the first time. He turned his mount, turned into a teahouse on the edge of Qingque Avenue, and began to use the stable breakfast of his first meal on his return trip, but what he heard in his ears, those words were still talking about yesterday's wedding. How was the groom The jade tree is in the wind, how charming the bride is, and the praise of the combination of pearl jade wall and heavenly work is endless, which makes the third prince's chest painful.

I have never felt such a gray face and failed.

Pride and self-esteem don't allow him to admit defeat like this.

The third prince never thought that one day he would be moved by the woman, and even wanted to win her only gentle gaze. The children's private affairs had never been written into his life plan. He thought that such a person would not appear in this life, not to mention risking his life, and it was not even worth distracting.

But such a person appeared, who occupied his heart inch by inch by inserting his plans and arrangements.

The funny thing is that he didn't even find a reason.

Is it because of her different pride, not giving in to his identity and appearance, and has been truly showing her disdain for him and*, "by no means a good person" - the first conversation, she said that he and her eldest sister.

It's really ridiculous. She has already made a judgment and excluded him from his life. He doesn't even deserve to be his brother-in-law. Don't talk about your husband?

All women, and she saw through his ambition at first glance. Behind the absurdity, the plan must be wide.

She did not hide her disgust with him. For him, her heart was heavily fortified and she couldn't escape thousands of miles away.

He really didn't know the reason why she was bored with him. Is it because of the initial utilitarianism?

Who can abandon utilitarianism? Is what Yu Yu gave her pure love? He really wants to see if Yu Yu will fall into a dilemma one day, and when he must choose between love and power, he will choose his children's private affairs.

He will never stay away. One day, he will make her understand that he is the different person.

His precious feelings will never be abandoned.

So he groomed and changed his clothes and came to congratulate him with a radiant face. As expected, only Yu Yu entertained him and accepted his gift lightly.

The third prince was not dissatisfied. This was the gesture of the winner he admired. He should not have shown awkwardness and timid. If he lost to a coward, it would be even more humiliating.

Of course, he did not show the loser's melancholy, which made people laugh.

But his waywardness and frustration must be vented in front of the emperor - a gentleman is hard to catch up with, not to mention the emperor! Father, you actually recited your promise! If the abandoned son behaves "sincerely", does it not expose the desire in his heart?

At that time, the third prince was still on the throne. You must "pretold" and hide the attempt.

So that night, in order to comfort his depressed son, the emperor began to make friends with each other in the same place as his favorite concubine living in the palace. At first, the words did not make the third prince dissatisfied. He agreed with the words of the emperor to take care of the overall situation, but of course, he should show that he was not convinced, showing the "generation gap" with the emperor - father, you don't know love!

Facing the son who was very similar to Concubine, he looked around and was very familiar with the scenery. The emperor gradually gave birth to the melancholy of things and death. At the same time, with the reluctance of the third prince's face that "the father doesn't understand my heart", the emperor began to show that he was also an experienced person. How could he not understand the taste of emotional injury? With the recall of the harmony with Concubine at the beginning, the emperor felt even more sad. The wine entered the intestines of sorrow, did not turn into lovesick tears, and turned into "unobstructed mouth".

even pointed out the topic: "Sanlang, the reason why I told you this today is that I have seen that you are not as capricious on the surface. You only know that you have a long relationship with the overall situation. In the past few years, you have not kept a light and bide time. I know your difficulties. If you act too early, the queen will be incompatible. " When it comes to the queen, the emperor slightly gritted his teeth.

The third prince was shocked by these words, and his mind turned upside down. He heard the emperor sigh: "Over the years, it has not been easy for you. I see it."

Another few muffled drinks into his throat, and the emperor said something that shocked the third prince: "Don't worry, I haven't forget your mother's concubine. Her grievances will always be one day... Sanlang, although I have many concubines and only one lover, she is also my most sorry person. Don't worry, even if it's for A hundred years later, I can get your mother's understanding. I can only give you this throne. I'm sorry for the marriage this time, but I have planned to hand over Dalong to you in the future, so I must choose.

The third prince never thought that he would get such a result this time. He was stunned on the spot and reacted for a long time. He quickly got up and said a bunch of He De's routines, but deliberately shifted the topic to the death of Wanfei: "The mother was killed by Beiyuandian, and my father was thousands of miles away. It's not the father's fault that he can't protect himself. How can he complain about himself?

The emperor was still a little sober and did not continue this topic, but turned back to talk about political affairs, the current official system reform, the future reform of the military system, and the reuse of the two governments of Su and Chu.

At this time, Xue Dongchang listened to the third prince repeat the words of the emperor's words of the day, and did not come back from the shock: "Your Highness, please be honest, just relying on the ambiguous words of the emperor does not mean that the emperor knew that the queen was the real culprit."

The third prince raised his eyebrows slightly and ridiculed: "Well, just because his mother's concubine was killed by Beiyuan, the father will feel so guilty that he must give me the throne, otherwise he will be shameless under the nine springs?"

"This..."

"There are not only one or two of my father's concubines who died, and some of them were even killed by him, such as Liu Cairen, who 'disadmed' the queen and killed my biological mother. Why did my father only feel ashamed of my mother's concubine and said that she was the most guilty of him? In addition, my father used to attach so much importance to the middle palace and the crown prince. Even I thought that the prince would not die, and the throne would not change. Why did he tell me that he did not regard the prince as the throne from the beginning?

Xue Dongchang:......

"I was shocked and doubtful that day, and I was really not sure." The third prince lowered his eyes, but his palm tightened: "After that day, my father handed over a dark part to me. I took advantage of this pervasive spy and began to examine the actions of the former emperor and the empress dowager after the death of my mother's concubine."

The third prince never knew the truth because he witnessed that Concubine Wan was strangled by the queen, so he did not observe it until the sixth year of Yuanqing. Because of the emperor's unintentional words, he was puzzled.

Of course, he was wasted with some thought, resulting in the illusion that he was secretly observing the queen's handle, which did not make the emperor suspicious.

"I was killed by Liu Cairen, who was killed by his father. I learned that she was the empress dowager and a former female official, and she was deeply trusted by the queen." The third prince sneered: "Why is such a man's crazy 'slain' queen?"

"It turned out that Liu Cairen was wronged. The person who spread rumors was the fool of Concubine Li, but she was not suspected."

Xue Dongchang:......

"Why did the father believe that it was Liu Cai who spread rumors, and the empress dowager also acquiesced in the death of her cronies?" The third prince sneered again: "At that time, I guessed that Liu Cairen was the one who knew the truth, so with the rumors, the father and the empress dowager first thought of her. In fact, the concubine was not angry with the queen and was hurt in her heart. She could not know the truth, so she was safe and sound, and no one doubted it."

That is to say, the emperor executed Liu Cairen not because Liu Cairen "disaded" the queen, but because he wanted to kill her.

Xue Dongchang broke out in a cold sweat.

"It is not easy to detect this matter, and it must also cover people's eyes and ears, but it is right to say that the net is long and not missed. Dongchang, do you know the truth of the matter?" The third prince asked, but answered himself, "My father was far away in Fujian at that time, but my mother's concubine was killed violently. The murderer was actually a codger in Beiyuan. The queen thought that she had done it well... But who was the former emperor? He was very suspicious and did not believe people's words, so she asked the empress dowager to inspect the family of Jingping Nishi and found that the queen held her evidence of her guilt. Then, the previous emperor found out that although the father of the maid of honor who 'murdered poisoned' was a soldier in Beiyuan, he was not awa... The former emperor and the empress dowager knew that her mother's concubine was killed by the queen, but they kept hiding it. Later, the father returned to Beijing , and did not believe the so-called truth and began to investigate secretly, but was learned by the empress dowager. She told the truth, but persuaded his father to give up, because the Kong family was deeply valued by the late emperor at that time.

"If the empress dowager wants to investigate the hidden situation, she must entrust her hands. Liu Cairen was one of them. Later, her father ascended the throne, and the empress dowager gave her to her father in order to keep her mouth shut. Unexpectedly, she was inadvertently provoked by Concubine Li to make trouble. When Liu Cairen heard the rumors, she knew that she was in danger. Her close maids were given to death, but she returned It was missing a person... He was the servant who served Liu Cairen. Because he was related to the supervisor of Ci'an Palace, he was not implicated, but he knew the truth. In the sixth year of Yuanqing, he was seriously ill and asked for grace to go back to his private residence to rest. I used his family as a threat and forced him to open his mouth.

Naturally, the waiter died that night.

"Dongchang, the fact is that my father knew the truth early, but he was persuaded by the empress dowager and kept hiding it. Unexpectedly, even the living certificate of Jingping has never been questioned, in order to stabilize the queen." The third prince sneered and shook his head: "I believe that the emperor will not let go of the queen, but so what? At most, the queen's 'disease'. Her crimes will not be made public. After her death, she will be buried in the imperial mausoleum and enter the ancestral temple. I have to kneel down as my mother and worship her incense."

"I understand the practice of the former emperor and the empress dowager. If it were me, it would be the same, but I can't understand my father. He thinks that passing the throne to me can make up for the mother's concubine? Can you feel at ease in the future? No more owes to me? Funny, if I want to take the throne, will the prince and queen be my opponents? Lao Si is my opponent?!"

"What on earth does Your Highness want?" Xue Dongchang asked with trepidation.

"If my father wants to feel at ease, he must make the truth of those years public, and I will never forgive him. I don't want his country." The third prince raised his eyebrows: "Dongchang, wait for the queen and the people of the Kong family to come to Jianchang... We have a fight with him, and then you and I will go to Xiliang, the throne of a country, and I want to win it by myself!"
