Chapter 1489 Prince innocent(1/2)
"Prince Xiang has been captured."
Chunyudian was a little uneasy and came to see Yang Xinxiang, "Your family and mine were also involved in what happened back then."
"Back then, Aye didn't get involved too deeply. He just encouraged those people to take action behind his back." Yang Songcheng pressed his hands and said, "Danding."
"Our two families are now grasshoppers on the same rope." Chun Yudian felt relieved, and after sitting down, he said, "He wants revenge!"
"Yes, I just didn't expect that he would attack the clan first."
…
"Prince Xiang has been captured."
After King Zhen and King Yong, who had returned to Chang'an all the way, heard the news, they immediately made an appointment to meet.
In the past, the two brothers were afraid of the suspicion of the puppet emperor and his son, so they never dared to meet in private except when they went to the palace to participate in activities. However, there were no taboos on the way back to Chang'an and they talked about a lot of things.
When he walked out of the palace, King Zhen couldn't help but stepped back, and the steward said: "Your Majesty, the false emperor is no longer on the throne."
"Yes!" King Zhen walked out again, looked at the spring scenery outside, and said, "The man in the palace is my brother."
Prince Yong was even more timid when he left the palace. He even asked someone to inquire about it first. After making sure that everything was alright, he came out slowly.
When they met, the two smiled at each other and felt a little enlightened.
The two of them drank wine and couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know what King Xiang did to make him take action. I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with the clan." King Yong was a little worried.
"Even if he is dissatisfied, Prince Xiang is also the emperor's uncle according to his seniority. How can he be punished if it is not a serious crime?" King Zhen's eyes became more determined, "If we meet, I will definitely give him some advice."
"That brother is so murderous!" King Yong shook his head.
"That has to be said."
The two looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable.
They were imprisoned in Chang'an, but their younger brother was thriving in Northern Xinjiang. The gap was quite big!
…
After King Xiang gave the explanation, he was taken into the palace.
The emperor stood outside the palace and watched King Xiang being led down the steps.
"Kneel down!"
A Horned Dragon Guard shouted.
Prince Xiang knelt down obediently, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Do you want to see my joke? Or do you want to humiliate me?"
"I have no interest in seeing your jokes, and you don't deserve my humiliation."
The emperor looked at him with his hands behind his hands, "I just want to ask, what I did to honor the emperor was for the sake of the Tang Dynasty? Is it for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes." Prince Xiang admitted very bachelorly.
"His innovation failed. The Tang Dynasty has declined since the generation of the pseudo-emperor Li Bi. If I had not come out to clean up the country, it would have been broken. So, what good would it do to you and others if the country is broken?"
Han Ze glanced at the emperor and saw that his expression was calm, thinking that King Xiang was quite lucky.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
King Xiang suddenly burst into laughter, and laughed forward and back. He probably pulled the wound. He took a breath, then looked at the emperor and said: "Someone offered me a million dollars and a hundred hectares of fertile land as a reward. At that time, my
All I see is money and fields. As for the Tang Dynasty, at that moment..."
King Xiang thought about it carefully, "The more temptations you face, the more courage you will have. The country is shattered... I am rich! What do rich people fear? The worst is to go to a certain grass-headed king. After the fall of the Chen Kingdom, not
Are there any members of the clan who have become rebel advisers or generals? Isn’t it possible for me to do so?"
"Desire enchants the eyes!"
The emperor shook his head, "I suddenly discovered that you and the wealthy merchants are all in the same boat. For profit, your family, country, and the world can be sold."
"Don't people live just for themselves? What kind of world, what kind of country, if I have enough food and wine, and a beautiful woman by my side, I will be the emperor, hahahaha!"
"When wealthy businessmen make more money, they will think about becoming officials. When officials reach high positions, they will think about becoming prime ministers. When clan members become princes, they will think about... becoming emperors!"
The emperor ordered: "Prince Xiang's family has been exiled to their hometown in Northern Liao. They will not be pardoned."
"yes!"
There were attendant officials who recorded the emperor's orders.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Xiang thought that he would not escape death. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be ecstatic. He bowed his head and then said with his bruised forehead: "After the filial emperor was killed by poison, I also felt quite guilty. Every year on his
On the anniversary of his death, I will fast for a day..."
"What do you think this is?" the emperor asked.
"Atonement."
"Atonement?" The emperor waved his hand, with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
"Take it away!" Wang Laoer asked people to drag King Xiang away, and came up and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to let him go like this?"
The emperor nodded.
Later, Lin Feibao came.
The emperor stood outside the palace, blowing the cool spring breeze.
"Prince Xiang is getting old, and he probably won't be able to hold on even halfway."
"yes!"
…
Immediately, King Xiang's charges were announced.
"It's actually him?"
When King Liang heard the news at home, he was also quite shocked, "Filial piety to the emperor was very good to him back then. I didn't expect that he was the one who stabbed the piety to the emperor in the back."
"This is betrayal!" Li Han sighed.
The steward smiled and said, "But His Majesty is so magnanimous that he only exiled his family."
"They are all members of the clan!"
Half a month later, news came that King Xiang felt that he had committed a serious crime and committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam during the journey.
"This must be his handiwork. This person will definitely retaliate for his anger. It is obvious!" Chun Yudian shook his head and sighed, "What a pity for King Xiang."
…
The matter with King Xiang was over, and many dignitaries and even high-ranking officials returned to Chang'an City one after another.
"What should we do about the slave's citizenship?" Liu Qing and Luo Cai were discussing the matter.
"Isn't this going to be the same next time?" Luo Cai said: "In the past, we had to let go, otherwise the world would be shaken."
"With your Majesty's temperament, I'm afraid you won't agree to it. And if you fail to honor the emperor back then, how can you let him go?"
The outside world felt that the emperor would definitely choose to forget the past.
The atmosphere finally relaxed a little.
"Let them guess." The emperor smiled in the palace.
"Your Majesty, King Zhen and King Yong want to see you!"
The emperor was startled, "They have been back for almost half a month, but I forgot to see them."
Han Ze asked: "Did the slave go and invite them?"
"I told you that there is no need to call yourself a slave." The emperor frowned, but Han Ze smiled and said, "I have called myself a slave for half my life. I asked the slave to change it, but I can't change it."
“Let’s have a family dinner!”
King Qin sent someone to tell the queen that there would be a family dinner in the afternoon.
Immediately, the two kings of Zhen also learned the news.
In the afternoon of that day, the two entered the palace.
"There are many fewer people in the palace." King Zhen said.
The chamberlain who led the way smiled and said: "Your Majesty let many people out of the palace."
King Zhen and King Yong exchanged glances.
This little brother is very deviant!
The two were brought into the palace, and they saw that the emperor's family had arrived. And there was also their acquaintance...Yiniang.
"I have met His Majesty!"
The two of them took advantage of the salute and took a closer look at the emperor.
The most impressive thing about the emperor is his eyes, which are deep and seem to be smiling, but it makes people feel that there is endless majesty contained in them.
Like who?
