Chapter 507: Why?
Chapter 507 Why?
When the four of Yu Zhi, mother and son were eating fish on Zhuangzi, the prince in the palace was talking to Emperor Taikang.
Ever since he was stabbed, Emperor Taikang couldn't get out of bed. It wasn't that he couldn't move, but his body was deteriorating day by day, and he had no strength. Most of the time, I recuperate on the dragon bed, and occasionally I go outside to get some fresh air, and the eunuchs carry them.
In this situation, let alone dealing with the government affairs, he is powerless to say a few more words.
Prince Renxiao, no matter how busy he is, he will visit Emperor Taikang every day and talk with him. Today is no exception, and I don't know if it is an illusion, Taikang Emperor's personal **** feels that His Highness the Crown Prince is not the same as before, and feels a little uneasy.
Sure enough, after a cup of tea, the prince sent the people in the hall to retreat. The eunuch's heart skipped a beat, he didn't move, he looked at Emperor Taikang, Emperor Taikang nodded his head invisibly, and then he backed away slowly.
As Emperor Taikang's personal eunuch, he knows the condition of his dragon body best. There is a high probability that the emperor will not be able to come to court again, so he can only meditate and cultivate. As for how long he can live, it depends on the ability of the imperial physician and the luck of the emperor.
It is inevitable for the prince to ascend the throne, so he should surrender to the prince for the future, but he is the emperor's man!
The hall was terribly quiet, and even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard clearly. Emperor Taikang half leaned against the head of the bed with a calm expression, "Prince, what do you want to tell me by dismissing everyone?"
"My son is puzzled about something, and I want to ask my father to clarify my doubts." The prince looked at his father, with hidden scrutiny in his eyes. Gray hair, deep wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, sagging skin on the face, the father is old, the once tall, tall, heroic and powerful father is already very old.
"What is it?"
The hand on the side of the prince tightened, "I want to know why the father wants to kill Lord Xiaowen?"
"Why did the prince say that?" Emperor Taikang frowned, "What happened to Wen San?"
The prince stared closely at his father's expression, but looked into a pair of unfathomable cold eyes, which contained nothing but indifference.
The prince was a little disappointed, "Father, Wen San met water bandits on his way to Beijing."
"I heard that he is very lucky. You have a good eye, Wen San... is a capable minister." Emperor Taikang's voice was still calm.
"Father!" The prince's hand clenched suddenly, "Wen San is indeed a capable minister, not to mention far away, since he entered Beijing and became Minister of the Household Department, the pressure on the son is much less. Father, Since you have a good eye for Zan Erchen, why did you move him?" He was very puzzled.
"Why father?" The prince looked a little excited.
Wearing that Jiuxiao was attacked, there was something strange about it, so the prince naturally wanted to investigate. He sent him to be his confidant, but the truth he found made him unbelievable.
He doesn't believe it! He didn't believe that the person who wanted Wen San to die on the way back to Beijing was actually his father, but the evidence in front of him didn't allow him to believe it.
Emperor Taikang was silent.
The prince was in a complicated mood, "Father, why did you tell my son? You have taught your son since childhood that as a member of the royal family, you should not act willfully and recklessly, and as a venerable, you must not chill the hearts of your ministers. Why, father? You Don't say you don't know about it, my ministers have found out, the news was passed by the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, he has no grievances or enmities with Wen San, and there is no conflict of interest, and the only one who can make him move is you, father." Knowing that no one would eavesdrop, he still lowered his voice.
"That's right, I did it, and I really don't want to see him enter Beijing." Emperor Taikang lowered his eyelids, indifferent and ruthless.
"Why, Father?" The prince looked a little excited.
"Prince, you keep questioning me, do you know what Wen San did?" Emperor Taikang raised his head and looked straight at the prince.
"What did he do?"
"Anle!" Emperor Taikang closed his eyes, opened them again, and said with a stern look, "He killed Anle, and your imperial sister Anle died at the hands of Wen San. Shouldn't you kill such a courtier who has no dignity in his eyes? "
"Impossible!" The prince blurted out, "Didn't An Le die of illness?"
The crown prince is not easy to fool, if Anle really died at the hands of Wen San, his father would have condemned him long ago. Since there is not, it means that there is something tricky here, at least it cannot be brought to the table.
"It's Wen San, Wen San shot An Le with an arrow, otherwise An Le wouldn't have died early." Emperor Taikang's eyes were gloomy, An Le had made a mistake first, but as a courtier, he was so vengeful, without dignity in his eyes, Does he dare to use such a courtier? Keeping him alive would have been the greatest kindness he could have done. If he is out of sight, it is all right if he is in a corner, but the prince wants him to come to Beijing, or take over as Minister of the Household Department, and run under his nose to be an eyesore? Hmph, this is absolutely impossible!
"Why did the well-behaved Wen San shoot An Le? What did An Le do?" The prince was thinking like lightning, quickly recalling, when did An Le get sick? eight years ago. Her front foot was sick, and she was exiled from the capital after Wen San.
The fourth-rank Shaoqing of Dali Temple was relegated to the frontier to serve as a seventh-rank county magistrate. However, I heard that the third rank has not been charged with any crimes. This is something that has never happened since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty.
This matter itself was quite weird, and the prince was also surprised at the time. He knew that Wen San wanted to be released, because this matter had been broken several times, and he thought that his father was annoyed by this matter and demoted him, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case.
Well, what happened before Wensan was released? By the way, Huguo Temple, Wen San's wife "Mr. Xiaoyu" went to Huguo Temple to offer incense, and almost died in the back mountain...
"An Le sent someone to kill Wen San's wife?!" The prince suddenly raised his head.
Facing the prince's gaze, Emperor Taikang wanted to dodge for a moment. As an emperor, he still has the power to concentrate, "So what?"
The crown prince couldn't believe his ears, "Father, it's obviously Anle..."
"Anle is wrong, but this is not the reason for Wen San's offense. Anle is the princess and the king! The king let the minister die, and the minister has to die." Emperor Taikang's expression also became agitated. If one day he did something, Wen San Is it also possible to be bold...
What he cared about was never An Le's life and death, but his prince obviously didn't understand what he meant.
The prince took a deep breath, the father is really old, he can't even tell right from wrong. Can Anle act recklessly as a princess? It's going to kill people, so why don't people resist? If someone dared to hurt his wife and children, he would retaliate even if he risked his life. He went to the army when he was more than ten years old, and he fought all the way. This is what he believes in.
What is the crime of Wen San?
Obviously his father didn't think so, the prince was very disappointed, his father was not as wise as he thought!
"Father, Wen San is a capable minister. The court needs him, and so do the sons. Even for the sake of the sons, let's stop here!" After solving the confusion, the crown prince was exhausted. This is his father, he What can be done? He didn't even pay Wen San a justice.
"The deputy commander of the Imperial Army is the father's man, and I will not touch him." It's just that after the father's hundred years, the son will let him guard the imperial tomb for you. "My son still has government affairs to deal with, so I'm leaving first, and my son will come to see my father tomorrow."
The crown prince withdrew, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to resist arguing with his father. Father's body... cannot spread his reputation of being unfilial.
Looking at the figure of the prince withdrawing, Emperor Taikang looked cold.
