Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 106

At that time, several ministers in the court were praising the good deeds of the princes to score points for the princes they supported, when they suddenly broke into such a large group of guards, everyone present was shocked.

The one who came was from the palace guards, and he knelt down to declare his intentions, and then took away the second prince who had just been praised. In what name, he killed his brothers and sent people to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince, but failed, and then sent people to sneak in The prince's mansion intends to assassinate again.

This news was too shocking to the officials who just sang praises, but the people present, who have been officials for so many years, now understand the emperor's attitude on this matter. Without the emperor's approval, how could this bodyguard be so big? Did you have the guts to come into the palace during the morning court, and take people away directly.

At this time, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became strange. It was lively and arguing before, but because the second prince was taken away, it suddenly became quiet.

The emperor looked at these ministers and made a noise for half a year. Would he not know what they were thinking?An emperor sits on the throne for a long time, and naturally develops a temper of self-importance. In the eyes of the emperor, it is more like the courtiers think that he is old and may leave at any time. He should leave a suitable successor to avoid causing trouble. Unnecessary cholera.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do." After a long silence, Liu Jin, the father-in-law beside the emperor, inquired about the emperor's expression, and then said loudly to the officials who were facing down.

The important thing is that they have already said it when they first came to the court, even if they have something to say now, they will not be the first birds, and today's morning morning is very early.

Back in the palace, Liu Jin carefully supported the emperor to sit down, and went to make the emperor's favorite tea in person. Liu Jin, who has known the emperor's preferences for decades, was very accurate in knowing what kind of temperature was right.

The emperor took a sip for a long time, looked at the huge palace, and sighed, "It seems that I have lived too long." It was so long that the sons couldn't wait.

This was talking to himself, and Liu Jin stood beside him, refilling him tea at the right time, without saying a word.

After a while, the emperor stood up and walked to the inner bedroom, where there was a stack of memorials on the table, some were submitted in the middle of the night last night, and some were presented this morning.

The emperor stood outside the window, and outside was the courtyard at the end of August. It was almost noon, and the weather was very hot, and all that was forced by the windless day was heat. Caressing his face was more like a pair of rough and cocooned hands, which made people feel uncomfortable all over. Comfortable.

The assassination case was solved, the perpetrators were found out, and they were caught in the early court. What kind of mood does a father feel when he sees his second son trying to kill his eldest son.

Perhaps the emperor's affection for his children is not as deep as that of ordinary families, and there is always a difference between the emperor and his subjects, but his loss as a father is no less than that of others.

How will the second prince send someone to assassinate the prince?
Liu Jin asked for instructions from outside the house, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang is here."

Liu Jin waited quietly until the emperor's voice came from the room, "Let her in."

Arriving at the outer hall, the young concubine Liang came in and knelt down in front of the emperor, crying, but not loudly, with a sad expression, "Your majesty, Kun'er has made such a big mistake, and my concubine dare not intercede for him, but I beg the emperor to show mercy so that the concubine and Kun'er's wife and children can meet him."

The second prince was directly escorted to the prison, and he never thought that he would be arrested when he went out. Concubine Liang got the news quickly in the palace, and the second prince's mansion probably got the news just now.

"Do you know what mistake he made." The emperor was unmoved.

"Your Majesty, Kun'er was confused for a moment. He shouldn't be instigated to make such a big mistake to his brother." Concubine Liang said hurriedly. How could this son have climbed from the lowest place to today's position, how could something happen when he was about to enjoy himself.

"A moment of confusion, a moment of confusion, sending an assassin to assassinate the prince, and a moment of confusion, sending someone to sneak into the prince's mansion and assassinate him again. If you are a moment of confusion, you want to tell me who instigated him." The emperor squinted and looked coldly. Looking at her, Concubine Liang couldn't defend herself, she opened her mouth, which turned into tears in the end.

"I gave him a chance." The emperor walked up to Concubine Liang and said in a deep voice

In the afternoon, rumors about the prince's assassination gradually surfaced in Luodu City, but the emperor did not stop them. There were so many officials in the court, even if only two people said it, it would only be a matter of time before it spread.

It turned out that the assassination of His Highness the Crown Prince in April was instigated by the Second Prince.

Last night there were noises in the Prince's Mansion, and the Second Prince wanted to assassinate His Highness the Prince for the second time.

The Second Prince was admired by many officials on weekdays. If the Crown Prince died, then the Second Prince would be expected by everyone.

In this way, when the court is caught, what will the emperor do with the second prince? They are all his own sons, and he will definitely not kill him.

All kinds of rumors spread quickly, and Shao Ziyu also received a letter from Shao Jiana asking him to go back.

The letter was written by the second uncle. Shao Ziyu and Lin Qingran informed him and went to Shao's house. For him, he was going home as a guest now, all the way to the second bedroom.

Master Shao Er was also there when he went to court today, so he knew better. When he saw Shao Ziyu coming, he went straight to the point, "Did the emperor assign the Criminal Department to secretly investigate the matter of the second prince?"

Shao Ziyu nodded. He didn't participate much in this investigation, but he still understood the general situation.

After listening, Master Shao Er was silent for a while, "It seems that the emperor is serious this time."

Shao Ziyu was taken aback, and Master Shao Er turned to look at him, "That's what happened to you in Pengcheng in the past few years. The prince's mansion Xiaojun was poisoned to death, so there must have been some investigations. His Majesty didn't pursue it at that time."

The imperial concubine pleaded guilty, and the root cause of the investigation was how could she have such great ability, but the people involved behind her were suppressed at that time.

"The second uncle means that these are all done by the second prince."

Master Shao Er shook his head, "No." After a pause, he continued, "But the Second Prince's arrest at the court today, I'm afraid it will all be remembered on his head."

"The second uncle asked me to come here today, not only for this matter." Seeing that his expression was still serious, Shao Ziyu asked.

"Ziyu, whether the Shao family's title can be taken back depends on this time." Shao Ziyu understood what the second uncle was talking about. Now that the princes are the bets on the gambling table, there is only one winner or loser. Which one to bet on? How much to bet is what they worry about.

To be safe, bet a little each, but if he wins in this way, he will not get much. Bet one with all his strength, and if he wins, he will have the right to talk about what he wants in the future.

Not to mention that the Second Master Shao now thinks this way, the old master of the Shao family must be planning. If he wants a title now, he must do some meritorious service to get it back. Shao Ziyu considered his words, "Second Uncle, the Shao family's title is no longer available. Now, the Holy Majesty did not take it back temporarily, but took it back directly. If you want to let the Holy Majesty confer the title again, it is not so easy."

In the past wars and chaos, meritorious service in battles accumulated quickly, more victories were fought, and there were many rewards from the imperial court. It was much easier to come to the title than it is now.

There is another possibility, that is, when the Holy Majesty dies and the princes compete for the throne, those who accompany the winning prince through all the thorns and thorns will also be greatly appreciated.

"That's why we have to give it a try." Shao Ziyu couldn't be persuaded by Master Shao's insistence. He wanted to get back the title for his grandmother, not his grandfather.

Shao Ziyu stayed at Shao's house until dark, and it was already very late when he returned to Shao's mansion. Brother Bo, who went to bed early every day, was still awake today, with his little hands grabbing the railing around the crib. As soon as Shao Ziyu came in, his head was Turn around and stare at him, wherever he goes, he will follow.

He stretched out his hand to pick him up from the crib and put him on the soft couch. Bo Geer stood lazily and crawled around on the soft couch, in good spirits.

When Lin Qingran came in, he looked up at her, staring at the small bowl of soup in her hand. It turned out that he hadn't eaten yet and refused to sleep.

The little spoon scooped up some soup, Bo Geer sat on the soft couch, opened his mouth, his younger brother ate more than his elder brother, Bo Geer kept his eyes on Lin Qingran's hand, and insisted on Lin Qingran's hand after eating. Ran showed him that the bowl was really gone, so she was willing to let her take the bowl away.

After babbling a few times, Lin Qingran wiped his mouth, and then he turned around and crawled to Shao Ziyu's side again, lying on his lap, squinting his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.

The nanny carried him down, and the husband and wife lay down on the bed. Lin Qingran was also a little tired, leaning against Shao Ziyu's arms, squinting her eyes and about to fall asleep, when suddenly Shao Ziyu scratched her.

Lin Qingran opened her eyes sharply and stared at him. Shao Ziyu leaned down, held her in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Having a son and forgetting your husband, you have been dereliction of duty recently."

"You give birth to a try?" Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows, the housewife is also very busy.

"If I have the ability, I'd like to take this pain instead of my wife." Shao Ziyu said, his subordinates didn't stop moving, and they took off their clothes skillfully.

"Shameless." No matter how drowsy Lin Qingran was, he couldn't fall asleep even after he tossed about it. She made a mistake and wanted to hide, so Shao Ziyu took off her pajamas and pressed against her back, her voice hoarse, "Whether there is shame or not, the lady knows best."

Half a month later, the compatriots killed each other. The second prince ordered someone to assassinate the prince. The second prince was demoted to Yizhou, and he was not allowed to return to Luodu City for the rest of his life. He was brought up by Concubine Zhang Gui.

Being demoted was something that everyone expected, but the subsequent treatment of the second prince and his sons and daughters was shocking. Instead of handing them over to their grandmother, Concubine Liang, they handed it over to Concubine Zhang Gui. It's not the emperor's son raised under Zhang Guifei's knees, but other people's grandchildren, how does Zhang Guifei feel in her heart.

When the decree came down to the second prince's mansion, the eunuch who came to announce the decree had just finished reading the decree, accompanied by the guards and the palace maid, and took away the two sons and daughters of the second prince, and the second concubine chased them out and was stopped at the gate , the eunuch only told her coldly to pack up her things and prepare to go to Yizhou with the second prince.

Not being able to return to Luodu City in her lifetime meant that she would never see these two children again in her lifetime. How could the second imperial concubine accept it? Seeing the child crying and being carried into the carriage, she fainted on the spot.

At this time, the palace is even more lively. In the Weiyang Palace where the empress is, the empress and Concubine Zhang are both helpless, while Concubine Liang has been crying in front of them for almost half an hour.
