Chapter 349 King of Han ([-])

In the past two years, the word "King of Han" has become a taboo in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and no one dares to mention it lightly.

Letters from the King of Han were sent to the Hall of Supreme Harmony one by one.Emperor Long'an didn't read any of them, and threw them all into the charcoal basin.However, the letter from the King of Han must be presented first by the servant.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Emperor Long'an coughed violently again, spit out a big mouthful of thick bloody phlegm, and finally breathed a little easier.

The servant who delivered the letter knelt beside the dragon couch tremblingly.

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Long'an's voice came: "Put the letter away!"

The servant secretly let out a sigh of relief, respectfully responded, put the letter on the low table beside the dragon couch, and withdrew.Eunuch Shen and Eunuch Wang worked together to support Emperor Long'an to sit up.

Emperor Long'an signaled with his gaze, Eunuch Shen hurriedly took and opened the letter on the short table, and there were several thick pages in the envelope.Eunuch Shen didn't look sideways, and sent the letter paper to Emperor Long'an.

Emperor Long'an unfolded the letter, and the familiar handwriting came into view.

Among the several princes, the king of Qin is the most skilled, the crown prince is the most shrewd and capable, and the king of Han is the best at reading and writing.

Emperor Long'an had his youngest son in his fortieth year, and he loved the King of Han very much.When I was free, I personally taught the king of Han to practice calligraphy.The King of Han was a clever ghost since he was a child, he was born to please his father, and Emperor Long'an couldn't help being partial, and loved his son the most.

The king of Han made a big mistake and was fined to guard the imperial tomb. He lived a life of poverty without wine or sex for two years.

Now, he is terminally ill and may die at any time.It's time for the King of Han to come back...

Emperor Long'an sighed, flipping through a few pieces of letter paper casually.Full of regrets, I begged my father to forgive me when I knew my mistake, and I heard that my father was seriously ill and wanted to wait on Yunyun by the bed.

"Go to declare the prince." Emperor Long'an opened his mouth slowly.

Eunuch Shen retreated in response, and quickly went to the East Palace, and announced the Emperor Long'an's oral order to the crown prince.

The prince got up immediately and followed Eunuch Shen to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Walking around in the palace, it is not advisable to bring too many personal guards and internal servants. There are more than a dozen personal guards accompanying you, and only two internal servants.One is Eunuch Yang, and the other is Eunuch Feng.

"Your Highness," Eunuch Shen said in a very low voice, "His Royal Highness the King of Han has delivered a letter again. The Emperor read the letter and ordered his servants to go to the East Palace to deliver an oral message."

The prince's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded slightly.

Eunuch Shen's move was naturally to show his favor to the prince.

Long'an Emperor Dragon is weak, and it is unknown whether he can last until the end of the year.Daqi is about to change the sky.In fact, it was not the first time that Eunuch Shen had secretly shown favor to the prince.

With this reminder from Eunuch Shen, the prince was mentally prepared.

"My son has met the emperor." The prince entered the emperor's bedroom, first bowed his hands and saluted.Then, sitting on the side of the bed, he asked with concern: "Father has recently suffered from a cough, so he should have a restful life. I don't know why the father summoned his ministers here?"

Emperor Long'an didn't speak, he gave the letter by the pillow to the prince, and motioned the prince to take a look.

The prince showed a little surprise, took the letter, read it quickly, and said in a low voice: "Father, the fourth brother was confused for a while and did something wrong. Father punished him to guard the imperial tomb for two years. Think about it , He has deeply introspected and changed his mind."

"Father, let the fourth brother come back!"

Emperor Long'an took a deep look at the prince: "If you intercede for the King of Han in person, I will agree. I will leave this task to you! You send someone to bring the King of Han back to the capital."

The prince nodded in response.

……

That afternoon, Shen You led the errand and set off.

Accompanying them were Fang Peng and Shen Jia.

The imperial mausoleum is in the western suburbs of the capital, and it can be reached in half a day on a fast horse.It will be much slower to take Hanwang on the return journey.Once back and forth, the prince gave three days.

More than twenty personal guards of the Eastern Palace, headed by Shen You. More than 20 horses, kicking the billowing smoke and dust, headed towards the imperial mausoleum.

Two hours later, the guards got off their horses and took a rest.

Shen Jia picked up the cold water jug, Gu Lulu drank half of it, and handed the remaining half of the jug to Shen You.Shen You raised his head and drank.Shen Jia took out dry pancakes and beef jerky from the small bundle hanging on the saddle.

Shen You couldn't help laughing: "Why did you bring food with you?"

Shen Jia grinned: "Ever since I went to Jinzhou to fight the war, I have the habit of bringing jerky with me."

"Isn't it!" Fang Peng also came over, holding beef jerky in his hand: "In those six months, fighting was nothing, just eating dry pancakes and drinking cold water all day long, and it was really a crime. I also have the habit of bringing jerky now. . Come, come, eat something."

Shen You smiled silently.

He often marches and fights, and he is used to the hardships of marching.On the other hand, Shen Jia and Fang Peng, who have been working in the East Palace, followed him to Jinzhou to suppress the bandits last time, and they choked on the dry pancakes!
The other dozen or so Eastern Palace guards also sat down under the shade of the trees.

"I didn't expect that the emperor would spare the King of Han so easily." Shen Jia said in a low voice, "Just what he did to the King of Han, it is only natural to directly take away the title of the King of Han."

Fang Peng squinted at Shen Jia: "It's easy for you to say. He is the emperor's most beloved youngest son, the prince of Daqi. It's not a serious crime of treason! In the final analysis, it's just a romantic affair in the harem."

Paper can't contain fire.The story of Hanwang and Yumei gradually spread.The guards of the Eastern Palace sometimes joked about it in private.

Shen You frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Speak carefully!"

Shen Jia and Fang Peng stopped talking.

Take a short break and continue galloping fast.It didn't stop when it was dark, and continued on the road.Until Zishi, he finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum.

In the middle of the night, the imperial mausoleum looked a little gloomy.

Under a few palace lanterns, the King of Han hurriedly got up and came. Under the illumination of the palace lanterns, his handsome face, which had become much thinner, also looked a bit gloomy and strange.

"The last general, Shen You, has met His Highness the King of Han."

Shen You cupped his hands in salute.

The King of Han's face twitched violently, looking at Shen You with terribly bright eyes: "What are you doing here?"

Shen You's expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "The final general is ordered by the crown prince to take His Royal Highness King of Han back to Beijing."

Back to Beijing?

As soon as these two words fell into his ears, King Han trembled all over his body, the muscles on his face kept shaking, and two lines of heroic tears burst out of his eyes.

Two years!
Two full years in this ghost place.

There is no banquet, no beauties, no courtiers to flatter, only the expressionless faces guarding him, and the gloomy ancestor's tomb.

If he stays any longer, he will go crazy.

Now, he can finally leave this ghost place.

The king of Han didn't care that there were still a bunch of people looking at him, and burst into tears.

"It's late at night, so it's inconvenient to travel." Shen You opened his mouth and said, "We will start our journey after dawn."

"No," King Han's voice was surprisingly high-pitched and sharp: "You don't need to wait for dawn, just leave now."
