Chapter 36
Way out
Shi Qing retorted: "It wasn't me who forced him, it was you! Even if the prince is enthroned by you, in his twilight years, he still has to deal with all kinds of affairs and paperwork. How many years will he be able to live? In the end? It is you, the sons and grandchildren of princes, who sit on the throne, reign over the world, share kingships and ennoble them, and enjoy themselves in comfort."
Yuan Kai retorted: "No! It is my grandfather's long-cherished wish to "take back" the stolen throne. No matter what happens in the future, we are juniors and try our best to help him realize his long-cherished wish. How can it be said that he is forcing him? "
"Let me ask you, when the Supreme Emperor Shenguang passed away, why didn't the prince have any trouble? At that time, Emperor Jingning came to the throne not long ago, the court was not stable, there were many courtiers who supported the prince, and they were in high positions, and public opinion was still biased towards My lord, strike while the iron is hot, it is the best time to force the palace to seize the throne, why didn't your lord start any trouble?"
Yes, that is the best time to seize the position.Yuan Kai thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that at that time, my grandfather was ill with qi, very sick."
"If you really want to fight, if it's me, if I seize such a good opportunity, even if I'm dying of illness and people hold me back, I'll fight!"
Facing the fleeting and lost opportunity, not grasping it, and not doing anything, it can only show that although King An Ruo was so angry that he was dying, he was also discouraged and accepted his fate.
Yuan Kai had nothing to say about this.
Shi Qing said again: "Later, the lord lived in the palace of Fengjing City. Although he was unhappy, there was no change. Until the 19th year of Jingning, Emperor Jingning ordered the Anruo Palace to be moved to Qizhou, named Jingyang, It was really a ban, and all the lineage of King An Ruo was dismissed from office, and he was explicitly ordered not to be an official. At this time, the prince had the heart to seize the throne, do you know why?"
"Why?" Yuan Kai once heard his father say that his grandfather decided to lead his children and grandchildren to "take back" the throne after he moved to Qizhou.
Yuan Kai never thought about it: Why did his grandfather make up his mind to "take back" the throne after he moved to Qizhou?Why did you go first?
"On the one hand, Emperor Jingning pushed and bullied people so much that the prince couldn't bear it. However, more importantly, he wanted to fight for a future for his children and grandchildren, instead of being trapped in Qizhou and being a prisoner of wealth and honor for the rest of his life." .In the first 19 years, he endured it and missed the best time to revolt. Only when his children and grandchildren were involved, he decided to stand up and resist. This is the love of his parents."
The promise of the prince solved the problem of the future of the children of the royal family that King Anruo cared about most. I must die", I chose to save my children and grandchildren.
The current situation in the palace is that the arrow is on the string, and it has to be launched.King An Ruo is the indispensable arrow.As long as the arrow is broken, the palace will have no arrows to shoot.The palace is secretly gathering momentum, and the tense situation can be alleviated.
Yuan Kai sneered angrily: "Is this what you secretly talked about with my grandfather?"
Shi Qing said: "I just passed on the teacher's analysis of the situation to the lord. The teacher also said that with the mind of the son, he should be able to understand the key points and understand the feelings of being a parent. If he can really For the sake of the prince, you should not keep clamoring for the prince to revolt, and think of other ways as soon as possible to find a way out for the children of the prince's family."
The truth is so!It seemed that something had collapsed in his heart, which made Yuan Kai extremely sad, unable to accept it, and subconsciously argued: "No, no, my father is the most filial to my grandfather, and my grandfather loves my father the most..."
Shi Qingfang persuaded with a soft voice: "Akai, now is not the time to talk about these things, you should make a decision as soon as possible." After making a decision, you need to make a corresponding decision Ready for action.
Yuan Kai looked at Shi Qing, and suddenly leaned forward, with a sharp dagger pressed against Shi Qing's throat, he asked very calmly: "With you as a pledge, is it possible to lure the prince into the urn?"
"No way!"
"In front of tens of thousands of forbidden troops, the prince doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates?"
"The teacher commented on His Royal Highness, loyalty, courtesy, wisdom, and integrity."
Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are respected by Confucianism, and they believe that Confucian students must have five qualities. Zou Fanchen's evaluation of the prince praised the four aspects of righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, but lacked "lenient and benevolent".
Yuan Kai understands, the prince is just like his father, he is a person who uses unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, he can't threaten the prince by coercing Shi Qing.He pushed Shi Qing away angrily: "Then you volunteered and came here to die for him!"
In fact, in the prince's plan, there was no such thing as sending someone to persuade the palace to give up the conspiracy and submit to the court.
This link is what Zou Fanchen and Prince Shi Xiang begged hard for!
"As I said, I came to the palace," Shi Qing said lightly, "It's for the good of the palace, not for the prince." In order to pull the palace out of the quagmire of treason, and to fight for a way out for the children of the palace, he and The teacher joined Donggong.
For Shi Qing, the Wang Mansion saved the lives of their mother and son. He grew up in the Wang Mansion. It was like home, with his relatives and friends, carrying all his good memories.Prince An Ruo's mansion is worth his life.
For Zou Fanchen, the palace saved the last bloodline of his teacher's family, so that he can repay his teacher's kindness. He is very grateful for this, and he is willing to help as long as there is an opportunity.
Yuan Kai snorted coldly and said, "For the sake of the palace? Since it's good for the palace, why don't you want to make suggestions for the palace?" One tried to escape, and the other pretended to be deaf and dumb.It's fine to escape or not to come, but also to serve under the command of the enemy in the palace and contribute to the enemy.
What made Yuan Kai even more angry: "You forced my grandfather to death and forced the Wangfu to nowhere, how can you have the face to say that everything you did was for the good of the Wangfu! It's really for the sake of the Wangfu, why can't you help the Wangfu to start trouble?"
"Differences do not conspire with each other." To this day, he and Yuan Kai are two, one wants to stick to his Confucian beliefs, and the other is deeply trapped in the dream of being an emperor. When he said these words, Shi Qing felt incomparable sad.
Time is precious, Shi Qing didn't want to fall into endless repeated arguments with Yuan Kai on the same issue, and said: "You insist on asking me why you left the palace, I can only tell you "Gentlemen are harmonious but different". "
Although we grew up together in Wangfu, I will stick to my views and beliefs.Although I don't agree with Wangfu's behavior, I will not harm Wangfu.
When Yuan Kai heard it, he suddenly understood as if enlightened. He had made many guesses about Shi Qing's escape from the palace. It turned out that the reason was so simple!
Shi Qing left the palace only because of a different view from the palace, it has nothing to do with feelings, he still likes him?right?
Yuan Kai was only slightly taken aback, then quickly turned and left.
As expected, the palace chose to surrender to the court. Before the prince arrived at the palace, a mourning hall was set up. The people in the palace mourned King An Ruo's filial piety, and put all the guards on the bright side.
On the one hand, he greeted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, on the other hand, he expressed his intention to surrender, and finally, he voluntarily handed over the unsealed Divine Light Edict to the Crown Prince, which was a clear statement from An Ruo Palace.
However, to the surprise of both teachers and students, the elder son Chu Yingrui became seriously ill after he vomited blood, and only when His Royal Highness arrived at the palace, Mrs. Zhuo and a concubine helped him out to pay his respects.
His energy seemed to have leaked out of his body, his whole body was listless, and he couldn't even hold his father's mourning vigil, so he had to lie in bed to recuperate.
Chu Yuankai led the people in the palace to complete the humiliating process of kneeling and prostrating to His Royal Highness to express their submission.
In fact, it is normal to express obedience and submission to the future emperor.But for the people in An Ruo Palace who have been disobedient for 20 years, expressing surrender is indeed a very humiliating thing.
Now that the palace has shown a stance of submitting to the imperial court, and King An Ruo is dead, the palace has lost its biggest bargaining chip, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not kill them all, but paid homage to his uncle and grandfather with sincerity.
The prince led the army to stay in the palace for one night. Even though it was the period of filial piety, the palace also arranged wine and food, entertained the prince, and rewarded the imperial army.
The next day, the prince returned to the capital with his personal guards and entourage, and ordered the leader of the imperial army to lead the imperial army to temporarily station near Anruo Palace, waiting for orders.
This order obviously meant to guard against Prince An Ruo's mansion, everyone knew it well, Yuan Kai pretended not to know, and expressed his gratitude to the prince for "leaving the forbidden army to protect the palace".
Zou Fanchen returned to Fengjing City with the prince and his party. Shi Qing said that he grew up in the palace and was taken care of by the prince when he was young, so he took the initiative to ask the prince to stay and help the palace with the funeral.
Although the crown prince accepted the surrender of the palace, he also needed to leave his own eyes and ears, so he agreed to Shi Qing's request, and left a few servants at his beck and call, telling him to discuss everything with the leader of the imperial army.
The prince set off to return to the capital, and everyone just breathed a sigh of relief. No, around You, a guard of the Eastern Palace came running with blood stains all over his body to report: His Royal Highness was attacked by a large number of people in a dangerous place in Heqizhou. The sudden attack of bandits ordered the imperial army to rush to help.
How could there be bandits on the way back to Fengjing City from Heqizhou?This group of bandits is so courageous that they dare to attack His Highness the Crown Prince!
The point is, the crown prince left [-] imperial troops in the palace, accompanied by only two or three hundred personal guards, "big stock" bandits?How many shares are there?I don't know if those personal guards can handle it?
The guards who desperately rushed out of the siege and came to report the news couldn't tell how many bandits there were. Anyway, they felt that there were many bandits, much more than their Donggong guards, and they were all brave and brutal. There were more than 20 of them in a team. Send out two people to report!
When Shi Qing heard the news, she immediately ran to see Yuan Kai.
When Yuan Kai saw Shi Qing, he said directly: "The bandits are not from our palace, and have nothing to do with the palace."
"Do you think His Royal Highness thinks so?"
"Oh, then Master Chai should explain our family more in front of His Highness the Crown Prince." He bowed to Shi very perfunctorily, and added in a businesslike manner: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you. "
Seeing that Yuan Kai was about to wave his sleeves to see off the guests, Shi Qing stood still and asked, "You know who that bandit is, don't you?"
Yuan Kai pursed his lips and did not speak.
