The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

No one responded to Song Wei's cold joke, only the emperor said: "Everyone sit down. Xiao Yin, you sit too."

His buttocks hit the chair, his heart pounded harder and harder in his chest.He didn't know what the emperor was going to say, but he suddenly felt that he didn't want to hear anything, let alone be present.Huo Ran stood up and put on a smiling face: "Well, Dad, you are busy, I will go...well, I will practice calligraphy."

The emperor shouted in a low voice: "Sit down!"

Song Wei was stunned.

The emperor softened his tone: "Xiao Yin, sit down, Dad has something to say."

Song Wei slowly rubbed against the back of the chair and dropped her butt.I heard the emperor say: "About the assassination of the sixth prince, Prince Yanxi, please tell me."

Song Wei relaxed, bent over and leaned back on the chair.That's what it was for.With so many people coming to witness the result, is Dad afraid of making trouble, or is he afraid of other people's opinions?He really wanted to say to the emperor: Dad, I understand everything.Whether you want to slaughter the scapegoat or make superficial appearances, I promise to cooperate with your son.

King Yanxi stood up: "Yes, Your Majesty."Seeing the emperor waving his hand, he sat back and said solemnly: "From the night of the third day of August to the early morning of the fourth day of August, His Highness the Sixth Highness was assassinated in the backyard of the palace. Two assassins were killed on the spot. One escaped and is still being hunted. After many investigations by Yihou and Dali Temple, the deceased had previously been in and out of the other courtyard of Zhengyi doctor Yao Zizhang."

Hearing this, Song Wei thought secretly: Sure enough, the scapegoat has come.It turned out to be Yao Zigong's brother, no wonder I haven't seen that old man Yao Rong for so many days.

King Yanxi continued: "Dali Temple immediately took Yao Zizhang into prison for interrogation, and confessed that these two people, including the escaped assassin, are all disciples secretly kept by the Prince's Mansion."

"What?" Song Wei was greatly surprised and accidentally yelled.He never expected that the King of Yanxi County would speak so bluntly about the prince's plot.What does it mean that the emperor's father refuses to leave room for the prince?Immediately, my heart was in a mess, as if I was entangled with thousands of thoughts.Those around him who didn't know him well enough, such as Duke Cheng of the Ming Dynasty and others thought that His Royal Highness King Xiu was shocked by the prince's behind-the-scenes instigation, and only felt that the sixth prince was smart but innocent, and he should be loyal to his courtiers.

But listen to Yanxi County Wangdao: "This matter has been verified by many parties, and the evidence is conclusive. The paper signed and signed by Yihou, Dali Temple Qing and Weichen was submitted to His Majesty yesterday."

Only then did Song Wei realize that, except for himself, no one in the room was particularly surprised.In other words, these few people probably already knew about this, or had expected it.Although he never liked the prince, from the day he became the sixth prince, deep down in his heart he regarded the older and stable prince as an unbreakable shield.In fact, he was able to insist on sitting on the seat of King Xio in an awkward and noisy manner. Although the prince is hiding behind the scenes, he has contributed a lot.

At this moment, realizing that the crown prince was about to fall, Song Wei's first reaction was, this is unscientific!The prince has been working for more than 20 years, and he has fallen in love with his father many times without falling in love.How could it be possible...?If, if the crown prince really falls, then...then...

With his common sense and experience, he couldn't explain what the emperor wanted to do.In other words, he subconsciously refused to think about what the emperor wanted to do.When he was tangled and confused, the emperor over there spoke.

"There are many visitors to Yu'er's house. I always thought that the prince loves talents and respects the virtuous and corporals, which is quite commendable. But I didn't expect that the ones he secretly kept were just thieves, desperadoes and tyrannists. He used these people to do a lot of things. In just over ten days, what was found was nothing more than superficial. How many more are I... that I have not noticed so far?"

th.The emperor spoke very slowly, full of hopeless grief.

"I have always placed high hopes on the prince and strictly supervised him. However, the prince's actions really made me sad. From today's perspective, the prince has no king and no father, is neither filial nor fraternal, and violates the public will repeatedly in order to fulfill his selfish desires. I really can't afford it." Jiangshan Sheji. I want to change the sixth prince to be the crown prince, so I called you all here..."

After the first few sentences, Song Wei was still dizzy, but when she heard the last sentence, she immediately jumped up, causing the chair to slam with a loud bang, and fell to the ground, the lingering sound continued.

His voice trembled violently, and his face was full of disbelief: "Father, what did you just... say?"

The emperor looked at him earnestly and gently: "Xiao Yin, would you like to be the crown prince?"

"A-what are you kidding... Dad, are you confused? I, the prince, haha, being a prince... Isn't this, cough, nonsense..."

He only slept for two days, and when he woke up, he wanted to be the prince again. What kind of plot is this?

The emperor looked at his incoherent appearance and was unmoved: "Xiao Yin, do you think father is confused? Do you think father will make fun of you with this matter? Father thinks you are very good, more than enough to be a prince."

"No, it can't be done. I, how can I be a prince!" Song Wei said more and more smoothly, "Don't you know my son? I am lazy, playful, ignorant, and not serious all day long. You This...cough, do you think I’m good, can that count? The beholder’s eyes show, ah, bah, no, the son is my own good, you are my father, of course you think I’m good. The problem is, father, you It's the emperor, don't mess around!"

Only the King of Yanxi County present had never seen the Sixth Prince acting. On the one hand, he felt that His Highness the Sixth Prince was quite reasonable, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but doubt the emperor's idea of ​​changing the crown prince.Glancing around quietly, several princes became calmer than the other, and couldn't help being quite surprised.For the candidate for the crown prince, he is only eligible to attend the audition and has no right to speak and vote. He wondered for a while and then gave up.

The emperor smiled at Yao'er: "Xiao Yin, you have this self-knowledge, and you know that the emperor can't do anything wrong. Just for these two points, you are already better than many people."

Song Wei didn't deal with the emperor for a day or two, and she got so entangled in this matter that she understood that the emperor's mind was determined and could not be shaken.Calm down and shut up.

He suddenly remembered sitting on the rockery in the courtyard of the palace yesterday, looking for something to do to reflect seriously.It turned out that all kinds of things today have already been induced in the subconscious.

Here we go again, the fixed option is here again!

First he became a prince, then he became an emperor, and finally ended sadly, and started the Nth reincarnation again.

Song Wei felt that she suddenly left the scene and became a pure audience, watching everything that was happening in front of her with cold eyes.He never felt this way, because he couldn't help being so absorbed in the present that he forgot to reflect on the past and worry about the future.In this life, maybe because of the extra richness of life and the extra strong feelings, the degree of devotion is so deep that it seems to cover up and erase the accumulated traces of reincarnation.But, fortunately, Song Wei secretly thanked herself that she remembered it.

He remembered that every time he faced this option in the past, because of the inertia of following the trend, and because of the greed of overreaching, he never clearly realized that he should reject it.

This time, it will be different.

So he shook his head, and said clearly and without hesitation: "I will not be a prince, let alone an emperor. I can't do it, and I don't want to. Dad, you don't need a son, find someone else."

The emperor was not angry, and said gently: "The prince naturally wants the most suitable son to be the son. Father has thought about it for a long time and thinks you are the most suitable."

The emperor's attitude and tone were very good, but Song Wei just knew that the father's appearance was stronger and more domineering than any quarrel between father and son.

Up to now, he still thinks that the emperor is old-fashioned and seriously ill, so he had a whim.Standing up straight, swords drawn: "You know, I hate being forced."

The emperor looked at him: "As you said just now, I am the emperor. As the emperor, can't I decide which son will be the crown prince?"

Song Wei only felt a surge of fire in her heart, which became more and more intense.A moment ago, he suddenly left the scene, and the sense of isolation of watching coldly disappeared instantly. He was still the Song Xiaoyin who lived in the moment and was extremely devoted.

"Father, you can't." Song Wei took a breath and looked at the few people standing there.

The candidate for the crown prince must be supported by the majority of the three lords, five lords and eight great families. This is common sense that everyone with a certain status in the Xianxi Dynasty knows.Song Wei guessed that since the emperor dared to say this, he must be prepared.He quickly used his brain, and he didn't think that there would be two dukes and three princes who were blind and blind and supported the emperor's brain-twitching decision.Even if others had brain twitches along with the emperor, some of them should be sober... He couldn't help but look at Dugu Mian.Coincidentally, Marquis Xian was also looking towards the sixth prince.Song Wei clearly discerned some kind of commitment-like firmness from those eyes, and suddenly gained confidence.

Looking at the emperor: "Father, even if you are the emperor, you can't just decide which son will be the crown prince based on your own likes and dislikes, on the spur of the moment."

The emperor swept his eyes to both sides: "Whether it is your own likes or dislikes, impulsive, you can see clearly."

The oldest official stood up first, walked up to Song Wei tremblingly, and knelt down tremblingly.

Song Wei didn't want to embarrass the old and the young the most, and was about to reach out to help, but was frightened by the extremely solemn look of the old man.With a frightening effort, the man had already knelt down in front of him: "My lord, the eldest grandson Ruchu of the Ming Dynasty, is willing to support the sixth prince as the crown prince. Loyalty can be shown, and only after death."

The atmosphere was so solemn, Song Wei's hands froze in the air, forgetting to respond.

Yu Wengao followed closely, and was the second to declare: "Chen, Yu Wengao, Duke Cheng, is willing to support the sixth prince as the crown prince. Loyalty can be learned from, and dare not be wholehearted."

The third one is Wei Guan.The general's voice was like a bell, buzzing in the hall: "Chen, Yihou Wei Guan, is willing to support the sixth prince as the crown prince. Loyal and loyal, not afraid of death or life!"

Song Wei stared blankly at the three kneeling in front of him, and then went to look at the emperor.The posture of these three people gave him a very bad feeling, but no matter what, there were only three of them.

The emperor said: "Xu Shixiao, Marquis of Ying, is currently in the southeast, but he has a very close personal relationship with Ouyang Minzhong, and he is also close to his in-laws. Xiaoyin, Ouyang Shangshu who has always been impartial, when I asked, I really said that you don't like it." No good words. It will probably not be long before Yinghou's book will arrive."

When the emperor said this, he turned his eyes to the Marquis Xian who stood at the end.Prince Yanxi and Immortal Baoying stayed away from the side when the Duke of Ming was saluting.

Song Wei followed the emperor's gaze and looked over, her heart suddenly became as clear as a mirror box.Where is the emperor's old age, sickness and confusion? It is clear that he has planned for a long time to be in collusion, and he is only waiting to invite you into the urn today.

Exactly... when did it start?

The six princes recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors, conferred titles and opened the mansion; three months later, they arranged to go to court and get married; soon the prince couldn't hold back, and sent someone to assassinate him; then he put the prince under house arrest under the pretext of recuperating; He tricked himself into entering the palace and presided over the reception of the Northwest Tribute.Looking back, they are intertwined and pressing step by step, just waiting for today, according to the old man's wishes, once the situation changes, the situation will be completely reversed.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at the emperor, and then stared at Dugu in a daze.The raging fire in his heart burst open, and his heart seemed to be blown to pieces.

The closest person in this life, the person I love the most in this life, what did they... do...

Xianhou raised his foot and took a step closer.

Song Wei yelled: "Ms. Dugu!"

The person whose name was called stopped and looked over calmly.Shen Qian is far away, without a trace of waves.

Song Wei felt that she must have been blind before, and mistakenly thought that he agreed to stand by her side.Ordinarily speaking, in all these things, the emperor is clearly the mastermind, and Marquis Xian is at best the first accomplice.However, Song Wei was full of anger and resentment at this moment, gushing out in an instant, wishing they could all go at this accomplice.

Dugu continued to take another step forward.Song Wei heard a click in her heart, as if something had been crushed.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "Dukgo! How dare you!!"

However, the person on the opposite side seemed to be oblivious, walked over step by step, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

"Minister, Xianhou Dugumian, is willing to support the sixth prince as the crown prince." Dugumian raised his head and looked up at Song Wei with those eyes as thick as ink, "Be loyal and do your best, and risk your life to death."

Song Wei still clenched her fists, her body gradually stopped shaking.Finally, he sneered softly, as if mocking himself: "I should have known...ha! I should have known..."

Dugu Mian just looked at him, and refused to say a single unnecessary word.

After a long time, the emperor said: "Xiaoyin, look, father is not the only one who thinks that you are the most suitable to be the prince. Why do you want to belittle yourself?"

Song Wei suddenly turned her head: "I won't do it! If you have the ability, force me to death."

The emperor looked at him with an extremely calm and sad look in his eyes.After a while, he suddenly said: "Duke Ming is too old to kneel for long."

Song Wei was taken aback for a moment, then bent over and stretched out his hand, pulling the old man up from the ground.

The eldest grandson Ruchu really wanted to say: If His Highness doesn't agree, the veteran will not get up.However, he guessed that the sixth prince probably wouldn't take this at all, so he thanked him tremblingly, and sat back tremblingly.The rest of the people did not have the emperor to speak, and the sixth prince refused to help them himself, so they could only continue to kneel.

With such an interruption, Song Wei's arrogance of choking his neck and preferring death to submission weakened for no reason.

The emperor said slowly: "Xiao Yin, you think that Daddy is persecuting you, but that's not the case. Daddy just told you how many people think you are the best candidate for the crown prince. Daddy wants you to be the prince, not because of persecution, but It's a request...it's...the last request of my father before he died. Xiaoyin, can you...can you agree?"

Song Wei blinked: "You want to scare me again! What nonsense are you talking about? Never die, never die, how can you die so quickly!"

The emperor smiled: "This time Daddy won't lie to you, he is really going to die."

Song Wei said angrily: "Don't think that you can force me to death, I will be forced to death by you, okay?"

The emperor tilted his head, and the real Baoying next to him got a signal, and took a step, with a heavy tone: "Your Highness, what your Majesty said is absolutely true..."

Song Wei waved his fist: "Are you also colluding with my father to scare me?"

Master Baoying was calm and not angry: "Your Highness, please calm down, but listen to the old man carefully. At the end of last year, that is, the eve of His Highness's return, His Majesty's dragon body was already in critical condition. All the imperial doctors knew about it. At that time, the old man suggested, Immediately pass it down to the crown prince, where His Majesty lives in the garden, rests his mind and recuperates, supplemented by medicine and Taoist methods of health preservation, may prolong his life for several years."

Hearing this, Song Wei already understood that the emperor definitely didn't deliberately make up lies to scare herself.Fear and anger gushed out at the same time, wishing to plug their ears, or simply shut up Master Baoying's mouth.

"His Highness the Sixth Prince is coming back just at this time. Your Majesty asked the old man privately if there is any panacea that can last a little longer so that we can manage the government as usual." Zhenren Baoying sighed, "Life and death are fate, how can manpower change it?" ?The old man has studied this way all his life, and he can't turn it back to heaven, but he came up with a method of gouging out the flesh and healing the sores. Your Majesty decided to use it after careful consideration. This elixir can prolong life for one year at most, but he has to endure severe pain in the lungs. For a year Your Majesty is diligent in political affairs, working hard, and the dragon's body is getting worse and worse. Now it seems that the best situation is... just three months."

Only Daoist Baoying, Director Qingyun and the emperor knew about this matter before, and it was the first time for all the important ministers present to hear about it, all of them turned pale with shock and choked with tears: "Your Majesty!..."

But the emperor only looked at the youngest son, and said leisurely: "Xiao Yin, at that time, when you came back suddenly, Daddy was very happy. How could Daddy die when you came back? How could he ignore it and tell you... to be bullied? "

Song Wei's mind was completely occupied by the phrase "three months", and tears flowed down like a flood that opened the gate.The anger in my heart grew stronger, this domineering, cunning and cunning old man, who made decisions without authorization, was so hateful.

Wiping away tears, he said bitterly: "Don't worry, I won't be bullied. I will die for you. But I will not be a prince, let alone an emperor."

The emperor asked softly: "The supreme being in the world, incomparable—what's wrong with being an emperor, you are so against it?"

Song Wei was extremely sad and angry, and shouted: "What good is being an emperor?! You have been an emperor all your life, you can't keep your wife and children, and you have to be poisoned by your own son. Tell me, what good is being an emperor?" What's good... woo... what's good..."

The emperor stared straight at him: "You...you!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out.
