"Guard Xu has been brought back!" Lu Jiuan howled through the dawn.My eyes darkened, and I almost lost my breath.Fortunately, Hongdou immediately added: "Xu Shiwei is injured and has been sent to the side hall to seek treatment from the imperial physician!"

I immediately flew up and kicked Lu Jiuan's elastic ass: "Are you trying to scare me to death!"

I ran to see Xu Changzhi.Xu Changzhi's spirit was extremely poor, and he suffered two stab wounds.And according to the guards who found him, Xu Changzhi escaped by hiding in the river.After soaking in the menstrual water, the wound became inflamed.Shangguan Xia worked hard all morning to understand Xu Changzhi's injury, boiled medicine soup full of resentment and listened attentively to the conversation between the two of us.I did not avoid suspicion, and directly told Xu Changzhi that the sixth brother was fine, and Ding Guogong let me be arrested.

"Your Highness, after all, Duke Ding was conferred by the late emperor himself. Will this move dissatisfy the veterans?" Xu Changzhi was very hot and spoke in a low voice.

I was silent when Zhong Bochen stood behind me at some point: "Your Highness, I have something that I have not reported to Your Highness. The Gu clan is secretly stockpiling a large amount of food and raising troops. I think that the Queen Mother probably wants to provoke a war , to reap the benefits of the fisherman when our national power is short."

I just said that it is impossible for the queen mother to only think about hiding the sixth brother.It's just that the queen mother doesn't know what it means to have cold lips and teeth.The northern court has been overthrown, how can she survive the chaos of war?Can she beat Qi Guo and Sheng Xuan Guo or Turkic?Furthermore, the eldest brother will definitely lead his troops northward immediately, and chop off the "old witch" and the sixth younger brother in his mouth.

I found that many times I can't judge the queen mother with the thinking of normal people.Her empress dowager position may have come for nothing, because the imperial father had very few concubines, and they were all kind people.Those palace fighting dramas performed in TV dramas never appeared in the life of the queen mother.Since entering the palace, the queen mother has been walking sideways like a crab, and her IQ has stayed at the level of a boudoir who is ignorant of the world. She thinks about it and thinks about it.Coupled with the strong foundation of the mother's family, Dingguo Gong wanted to embezzle two treasuries, which led to the illusion that the mother could stand on her own.

"Does the sixth brother know about this?" For the first time in my life, I doubted the sixth brother.How could it be such a coincidence that he first left the palace with me, and then proposed to buy green plum wine.

"His Royal Highness King Jin probably didn't know about it. Ding Guogong only took action recently. And on the day His Royal Highness and King Jin left the palace, spies secretly followed behind to monitor His Highness King Jin's movements." Zhong Bochen said.

My hand paused, and then I patted Xu Changzhi's arm: "You take care of me, don't worry about other things, I will come to see you tomorrow."

After I finished speaking, I got up and left, then nodded slightly at Shangguan Xia, signaling him to stay by Xu Changzhi's side to take care of him.Zhong Bochen seemed to sense that I was in a low mood, and followed me "with a guilty conscience". When I closed the door after I left the house, he immediately said in a hurry: "Your Highness, I didn't mean to deceive you."

"You didn't do it on purpose, you did it on purpose." I looked up at him. I didn't feel much anger in my heart, but I was a little disappointed: "You are afraid of scaring the snake, and want to wait for Duke Ding to show his feet, right?"

Zhong Bochen felt stupid for a moment, and nodded sincerely: "Yes."

I was annoyed and laughed.Zhong Bochen's appearance can be regarded as "great wisdom and foolishness"?Or did he just think that I would forgive him as casually as before?

"Zhong Bochen." It seemed that I hadn't called his full name for a long time, so when Zhong Bochen heard me call him that, he shuddered and tensed up.

I looked into his flustered eyes, and asked with a serious tone: "What do you think of me? When it comes to the relationship between a monarch and his ministers, it is a serious crime for you to conceal the truth; when it comes to your private relationship with me, you Knowing that the sixth brother and Xu Changzhi are my good brothers. You insisted on letting the matter develop to the point where it is difficult to deal with it before jumping out and telling the truth. Why did you do this?"

Sweat dripped from Zhong Bochen's forehead immediately, and his eyeballs rolled around like a child who was caught playing a prank, as if he was looking for some grandiose excuses.But I didn't care to listen to his vernacular, and directly exposed his little thoughts.

"In the final analysis, you don't believe me." I snorted coldly, too lazy to look at his brows that were frowning with anxiety: "You are afraid that I can't help questioning the queen mother, or testing the sixth younger brother, which will ruin your life." You keep saying that you respect me as a king, but you turn around and don’t even give me the most basic trust. Zhong Bochen, oh Zhong Bochen, you really mean what you say and what you say and what you don’t."

I walk away.As the saying goes, how many times has Zhong Bochen lied to me?Again, this time the situation is different than before.Fortunately, Xu Changzhi's life was tough, otherwise the two stab wounds and a night in the river would have been enough for him to fly across the Naihe Bridge on a donkey.If Xu Changzhi really died, I think I can forgive Zhong Bochen enough.

I don't know if Prime Minister Zhong Da is too drifting, or this king can't lift a knife anymore.If I don't "reinvigorate husband gang", this prime minister will have to go to the house to expose the tiles.In order to prevent him from selling me out one day, and I have to count the money for him, I am determined to kill the prestige of the prime minister and let him hang around for a while.

I read the book behind closed doors, went to court in the morning, and went to pay my condolences to Xu Changzhi who was injured on duty after get off work.Every day at three o'clock and one line, he is full of energy and handles government affairs in an orderly manner.Zhong Bochen came to Jiaming Palace at night to see me, but I didn't see him, so he just knelt outside.I ordered the imperial guards to tie him up, put him in a carriage and transport him back to the residence.The queen mother sent someone to look for me, but I ignored her.On the contrary, Princess Chunxi and the sixth younger brother came to see me. I didn't refuse. I ordered four dishes and one soup, and had a home-cooked meal.

"Your Highness, I have discussed it with him. I will leave for Qi State the day after tomorrow. The wedding ceremony will be held in Qi State." Princess Chunxi wiped the mouth of the sixth younger brother who was wolfing down the rice.

The chicken leg in my hand immediately fell into the plate, and I reached out and snatched the sixth brother's job: "Lao Liu, what's the situation? The Ministry of Rites has already drawn up the rules for the big wedding, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

The sixth younger brother evasively rubbed against Princess Chunxi.Princess Chunxi helplessly turned his head back: "Your Highness asked you something. You said it!"

"Fifth brother..." My silly sixth brother opened his mouth and hiccupped first, and then began to shed tears. Those who didn't know thought it was choking: "I won't leave again. The mother stabbed the sky down. Are you I don't know, my mother secretly embroidered a dragon robe for me..."

Princess Chunxi hurriedly covered his mouth, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, he didn't know..."

I didn't make a sound, and returned my rice bowl to the sixth brother so that he would be full.During this period, I was still thinking, if the sixth brother suddenly mentioned his uncle, how should I answer.However, the sixth younger brother didn't speak again from the beginning to the end, he lowered his head and looked at the rice, swallowing tears and snot together, which made me panic.

I know that he feels wronged, not because he wants to "marry" to Qi country quietly, but more because the empress mother doesn't understand him.The sixth younger brother was not interested in the throne, but the queen mother pushed him on the road of betrayal, regardless of whether he was really happy or not.It is not at fault for the queen mother to hope that her son will become a dragon.However, this imperial court is a mess. I am the duck that was kicked out to put the duck on the rack, and the queen mother insisted on letting her darling compete with me for this roast duck rack. I really don’t know what she has planned.

I called Princess Chunxi out of the house alone, and after I cupped my hands to apologize, I whispered: "Princess Highness, the sixth child, he is a good boy, and he knows how to love his wife. It is because he grew up next to his mother when he was young, he has little experience, and his brain sometimes You can't turn the corner. You have to be more patient. Your Royal Highness has come from a long way, but this king has not entertained you well, and let you see some ridiculous things. I am really ashamed."

Princess Chunxi replied slightly with a gentle smile: "Your Highness, I know that King Jin is a bit silly, but that's the kind of person I'm looking for. Chunxi also grew up in the royal family, and seeing too many dirty things, I just want to ask A pure person spends his whole life together, so as not to be suspicious day and night, sad and troublesome."

Two days later, the sixth brother quietly left the country.It's exactly the same as the scene when I left the country to be a proton, but fortunately, he married a daughter-in-law, not to be angry.My fourth brother and I sent him off and prepared some souvenirs for him to eat on the road.I thought it would be like what I said before, to give him a fief and a man.However, the sixth younger brother refused, and jokingly said: "Brother, you can't lose your younger brother and lose your army! Qi Guo has a son-in-law for nothing, can you be ashamed to ask for our money?"

Princess Chunxi scowled coquettishly, twisted his ears and got on the sedan chair.The moment the palace chariot drove out of the palace gate, I finally couldn't help crying, just like when my sixth brother sent me off.It's just that this time there was no father knocking on my chestnuts, only the fourth brother hugged me and comforted me for a long time.

After the sixth brother left, it took me a long time to calm down before I regained the mood to deal with the government affairs.The next day, Lu Jiu'an poured me a cup of tea and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister knelt outside the hall again this morning. There were many discussions in the palace, saying that you wanted to completely overthrow the former court, so you continued to suppress the former court's important officials. Your Excellency the Prime Minister suffered an indiscriminate disaster...do you see this?"

"Kneel down. Count the hours. After an hour, tie him up and throw him back to the house." I didn't look up, and continued to write Zhu Zhu on the booklet.

fair enough.What I will do next, I have to pick him out first, lest he will be implicated again.With the lessons learned from Dali Siqing and Xu Changzhi, I understand a truth.That is, although I, the Prince Regent, is muddle-headed, I am still a "King" after all, and I am the protagonist of this drama.And the group of courtiers and supporting actors were killed accidentally.Even if Zhong Bochen had the ability to reach the sky, he still couldn't stand the old horse stumbled.It's better for me to sing this one-man show by myself.

For the next month, Zhong Bochen still knelt for an hour every day, rain or shine, until he was packed back home.After coming and going, the melon-eaters who didn't know the truth in the court began to cry for him.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials even quietly wrote the booklet, and asked me insincerely if I wanted to take the prime minister's knife.I pretended to be mysterious and replied: "It's none of your business?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials quietly ran to find his adoptive son Su Che, and asked Su Che to speak good words for Zhong Bochen.Su Che, a big celebrity who just arrived at the Ministry of Household Affairs, was also unambiguous. He rushed into the Jiaming Palace just in time for the meal, carrying a small wine and steamed buns, and successfully got a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and had dinner with me , Ask me if I can stop unloading the mill and kill the donkey, at least turn the mill to a good degree before killing the donkey.

I told him that whether the donkey is killed or not is my own business, even if the donkey is killed and sold for fire, it has nothing to do with him as a bun seller.If you are full, get out and find a way to make money.

I just held back meeting Zhong Bochen privately for more than a month, causing him to turn his feet up and look at me every morning, his eyes full of sadness, almost burst into tears.I know he can't stand it anymore, but not only he can't stand it, but some people can't sit on the bench either.

After Ding Guogong was imprisoned, I ordered people to ransack Ding Guogong's mansion with great fanfare, found more than a dozen carts of gold and silver treasures from inside, and went around the city street.The spitting stars of the common people almost buried Dingguo Gong in it, so he will have to stay in this prison for eternity.I don't intend to kill him, just lock him up like this, and he will play ball until his birthday.

However, Duke Dingguo "devoted himself to the public" and set an example to save the court a lot of money.On the night of No. 40 after Ding Guogong was imprisoned, he resolutely and suddenly died in prison.After the imperial examination, it was shown that he should have died of myocardial infarction.It was a normal death.

After the queen mother heard about it, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself and asked to see me.My dog-legged captain was wounded on the bed, and Shangguan's imperial physician stood guard at the door of his house like a door god, refusing him to leave the house.It's not good for me to bother them, so I had to bring a spare dog--Comrade Lu Jiuan to face the storm.Lu Jiuan purposely put a brick in his arms, expressing that he would not greet him depending on the situation.I shrank behind his shield-like body, feeling a little more at ease in my heart.If my mother leaves the teacup and the teapot or something, Lu Jiuan can help me block it a few times.

But the queen mother obviously didn't have that fighting power.Not seeing each other for a few days, the empress mother suddenly had white temples and a few wrinkles on her head. She seemed to have aged more than ten years.After seeing me, the queen mother's eyes were dull, and she asked two questions.One is whether she can go to express condolences to her brother; the other is whether the sixth brother has already gone to Qi country.

I replied very simply: "Yes. Yes."

Then the queen mother stared blankly at the floor in a daze, I shook my head helplessly, turned and left.Just about to step out of the palace gate, the queen mother suddenly said weakly: "Cen Yue. If I had known today, I shouldn't have supported you in the first place."

I've heard that no less than ten times.It's just that I haven't paid attention to it all the time.However, at this moment, I suddenly felt inexplicably sad, for her and for myself.So I turned around and said: "Mother, do you think I am willing to let you raise me? In this palace, any concubine who raises me is a hundred times better than letting you raise me; do you think I am willing to let my father raise me?" Sister Huang's life, in exchange for living alone? I was just a baby at the time, and I had no choice."

I walked out of Cikang Palace, the creaking sound of rocking chairs slowly subsided.I think the grievances between us should end after all.Excluding the mother-child relationship that doesn't exist, she is just my father's first wife, one of my elders.I can finally have nothing to do with her with peace of mind.She gave me a bite to eat and let me grow up, then I will eat and drink to serve her in the elderly; she said that I owed her daughter's life, so I spared her life.

So far, we have ended, we owe each other nothing, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

On the way back to Jiaming Hall, I vaguely saw Zhong Bochen kneeling alone outside the hall gate.Next to him was an eunuch holding an hourglass to time him, and a guard holding a rope waiting to tie him up.He seemed to feel something, and looked up in my direction.I hastily looked away and went straight back to Jiaming Hall.

Not long after returning, the palace servants came to report that Prince Dian, Duke Pei and other princes and dukes appointed by the late emperor had formed a tour group and came to Hongmeng City together.According to the secret report, they came for the few criminal officials in the prison who were involved in the "Dali Temple Qing's extermination case".Of course, there were also those who came to complain for Duke Ding.

I finally waited until these old foxes came out of their dens.I ordered the imperial dining room to prepare food and wine, and held a grand banquet in the Changning Palace. I also dressed up, brought the officials of ceremony and music and the guards, and waited for their arrival at the gate of the palace.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to the prime minister for mentioning the achievement of "Happy time to cheat your wife, chasing your wife to a crematorium"...

Prime Minister: "...shut up!"
