The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

The matter of the third elder brother did not occupy too much field of vision, because after a while, the Holy Majesty suddenly said that he was sick, and then several elder brothers who came together waited on the sickness before the imperial couch. After writing the letter, he naturally hoped that the prince would come to him. He still cared very much about this son who had spent more than [-] years of hard work, especially when he was sick. It's time to take the throne, all the shortcomings of the prince in the past have become less important, and more is the prince in his childhood when he was young, so beautiful.

"But ordered someone to send the message in a hurry?" While drinking the medicine, the Holy Majesty couldn't help asking Su Gonggong, who was waiting beside him, and Su Gonggong hurriedly responded, and then replied in a low voice.

"Long live, the messenger must have arrived, but if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves, won't the court be in chaos?" There are people around the Holy Majesty who comfort him, and the Holy Majesty knows most of the truth, but he just hopes that the Crown Prince will be by his side this time. , if he is here at this moment, in case he dies, at least this thousand li country will be completely handed over to the prince, and it will be recorded in the annals of history in the future.

The saint's mood affected his body. As a result, the mild wind and cold gradually became heavier, and he began to fall asleep day and night. After a deep sleep, the saint finally opened his eyes and saw the ground kneeling People are all backs. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and called the prince twice, but the first prince who was kneeling at the front heard it, and then raised his head. On his face, there was a feeling that others could not explain. Weeping, his Adam's apple moved up and down, then he knelt down and moved to the face of the Holy Master, he didn't hold the Holy Master's hand, but replied in a voice that everyone in the room could hear.

"Father, your good prince heard that you were ill and is preparing for the new emperor's enthronement. If he has time, he will come to Rehe to see you off for the last time."

The Holy Majesty's face was originally pale, but after hearing the first prince's words, he immediately turned livid. He panted heavily, and ordered someone to help him up. The several imperial physicians kneeling beside him all begged the Holy Majesty not to move. King Qing squinted his eyes slightly, and King Jing, who was kneeling next to him, didn't look too good. He seemed to want to say something, but kept looking at King Yong who was still kneeling in front of him.

"Help me up!" The Holy Majesty ordered sharply with the last breath in his chest. No one moved this time, only King Yong kowtowed on the ground, and then calmly squeezed past the First Prince and sat next to the Holy Majesty, and then carefully He helped the saint get up and leaned on the bed, then reached out and took a pillow and stuffed it behind the saint's back. Eunuch Su hurriedly brought over a thin cloak. King Yong glanced at the Nine Dragon Opera Ball hovering above him, and then calmly approved it. On the body of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Majesty kept panting, as if he was about to die, but his eyes were not as cloudy as an old man who was about to die. The shining light in them made King Yong sigh again. The Xian King was one step ahead, but it was such a mistake that let him know how much the Holy Majesty had calculated. After that, the eldest brother was imprisoned, and the prince was able to restore the position of prince after a year. At that time, because of this I don't know how many people vomited blood, but so what, the change of power is like this, let alone in my own hands, the officialdom can be free from corruption, the more you shrink the bottom line again and again, the only ones who are supported are those little People's appetites ultimately make the people suffer.

King Yong's face was expressionless, but the eldest prince's expression was a little angry. Among the princes kneeling below, some were surprised, some were worried, some were on the sidelines, and some were depressed, but most of them didn't dare to express it. too obvious.

"Tell those imperial physicians to use heavy medicine, and delay three times and four times. If anything happens, let them go with me!"

The faces of the imperial physicians below turned pale again, and then one of the imperial physicians slowly knelt in front of the Holy One, and then said in a trembling voice: "The illness of the Holy Majesty was not serious before, but I don't know why, it has reached the current stage. Wei Chen has an idea, but this method requires a golden needle to be poked into the knuckles of the Holy Majesty's fingers, if Wei Chen makes a mistake, please forgive me."

"Don't talk nonsense, you come up." King Zhongyong gave up his seat first, and then King Yong held the hand of the Holy Majesty. The imperial doctor was wearing an official uniform of an imperial hospital and an official hat on his head. He was not of high grade. It's just that after he stood up, there was a commotion among the kneeling imperial doctors below, but they quickly returned to calm.

The imperial doctor responded, and carefully pulled out one of the royal golden needles on one side, and then placed it on the pulse of the Holy Majesty, and after looking up three fingers, gently inserted the golden needle.

When the gold needle entered his body, some cold sweat broke out on His Majesty's forehead. After waiting for three breaths, the golden needle was pulled out. His Majesty opened his eyes and looked at it, and immediately changed his color. The eldest prince who was closest to him stepped forward and grabbed the imperial physician. He raised his collar in front of him: "How dare you poison the emperor!"

Everyone looked at the line of sight, and the gold needle on the imperial physician's right hand turned black. Before the imperial physician could speak, a person jumped up from among the imperial physicians and wanted to go outside. Everyone was still in a daze, but the guard at the door He drew out the knife first, the imperial doctor didn't waste anything, knowing that he couldn't get out, he took out something from his cuff, and swallowed it, but in a blink of an eye, he vomited black blood and lay on the ground.

The eldest prince let go of the imperial physician in his hand in a daze, leaned against the bedside sage, closed his eyes, and then slammed on the pillow.The imperial doctor who was put down stammered back and said: "It's not the poison of the humble minister, you see..." He looked at the imperial doctor who was lying on the ground and committed suicide by taking poison.

"This person is from Huainan. He just entered the imperial hospital this year. Because the old imperial doctor is too weak, he was arranged to make up the number." Ministry, so I know more.

"Father, do you want me to send someone to investigate!" The eldest prince suddenly felt that the throne was so close to him, and his mouth was a little parched even being so close.

"No need..." The Holy Majesty waved his hand, and then ordered the imperial physician to discuss the prescription. Since the problem was found, he would definitely not die.

"But, are you going to let the prince go just like that?"

The imperial doctor arranged by the queen had an accident, and the crown prince was about to ascend the throne. No matter how you looked at it, there was something wrong. Sure enough, the corner of the eldest prince's lips curled up unconsciously. Most of the princes kneeling underneath were just gloating, only King Yong knelt at the head of the bed .

"Father is aware, the prince has always respected and loved his father, not to mention being taught by his father since he was a child, how can he do such a rebellious thing with a deep love for licking a calf. Please also learn from my father."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the standing eldest prince immediately turned around and shouted angrily: "Third brother, how long are you going to hold the prince's stinky feet? Now that the matter is in front of you, what else is there to say?"

King Yong didn't respond to the boss's words, but still raised his head steadily and looked at the emperor: "The empress is the first wife of the father and the mother of a country, so she should not do such a rebellious thing, and there is naturally a misunderstanding in it. "

The Holy Majesty looked at King Yong, and King Yong's lips opened and closed. In the end, he didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and knocked his head on the ground: "My son has been taken care of by the prince since he was a child, and please ask the Holy One to learn from him."

The eldest prince sneered: "If it's not the prince, who is it? If the father has an accident, besides the prince, there are other people who will benefit the most?"

The Holy Majesty shook his head, closed his eyes and remained silent. The imperial physician outside seemed to have figured out something, and then he heard the palace attendants shouting: "Long live, all princes, please leave first."

Then everyone dispersed, only King Jing followed King Yong all the way, and when he reached a remote place, he grabbed King Yong's arm. King Jing's complexion was not good, and his eyes were full of anger: "Third brother, now it's a critical moment, why don't you Just quit! What do you want my brother to do like this?"

King Yong glanced at the people behind King Jing, but he didn't answer. He just took King Jing to the study, and then told the others to go out. Then he sat down face to face with King Jing, his face was calm, Not even an eyebrow moved.

"Fifth brother, do you know the character of the father?" King Yong asked.

King Jing thought for a while in doubt, and then nodded: "Of course it's clear. If you can't figure out the will of the father, how can you and I get to where we are today." The night is to try to figure out the mind of the emperor, and they have been princes for 30 years, so they naturally know the emperor's temperament.

"Then, if you and I follow Brother Dahuang today, we will never see you and me in the eyes of Emperor Father in the future. Besides, although this matter seems to be safe now, you and I both know that once Emperor Father finds out something, As long as we don't make trouble today, we will naturally have room for debate in the future, not to mention that if Brother Huang is not so eager this time, you and I don't need to be so worried." King Yong said while pouring tea for King Jing.

King Jing snorted, then took a sip from the teacup, then followed King Yong's thoughts for a while, raised his eyes and said: "But if the prince really succeeds this time, third brother, even if we want to be peaceful It’s impossible, my lord.” Although King Yong and King Jing acted in a low-key manner before, if the crown prince really takes the throne, the ministers of the court will naturally follow the lead of the new emperor, the connection between the third brother and the Tong family, and the connection between himself and the grassland. , are all handles.

King Yong suddenly smiled, and then patted King Jing on the shoulder: "Fifth brother, why are you more naive than the third brother, how could the prince succeed, even if the father really fell into his hands this time, this patricide Naturally, there will be others to help publicize your reputation, and if you wait for two days, there will naturally be news from the capital."

If he guessed right, the seventh brother who stayed in the capital might really be busy.

The prince looked at the dragon robe that the servants sent to the East Palace, and frowned unconsciously: "Why so fast, what are you doing with it, there is news from Rehe?"

The eunuch on the side took the dragon robe from the person below with a sneer, then cast a glance at the other party, and walked up to the prince himself: "Prince, the country cannot be without a king for a day, you see, Rehe said that the Holy Majesty I have been in a coma for three days, and I can’t drink this tea... Hehe, look." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, and then handed the dragon robe to the prince.

The crown prince reached out and touched the dragon head on top. The pattern on the dragon robe was not embroidered, but was tributed by the weaving mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and the dragon pattern was woven with special skills.

"This is the imperial father's dragon robe. It's not appropriate to wear it alone several times. You can take it off." After all, the prince thought it was a treasonous thing, so he insisted on asking the waiter to take it off, but his eyes didn't go away.

The eunuch smiled again, and leaned over to the prince and whispered: "This is specially made by the Hangzhou Weaving Department. It is your size, the prince. Why don't you try it on first? If something doesn't fit, you can change it first to save money." If you are in a hurry in the future, something will happen in your busy schedule."

The prince raised his eyebrows, and then he bent down to take a serious look. Not only was there a dragon tablet underneath, but also a dragon crown, a dragon-shaped belt, a dragon-shaped jade pendant, and Dongzhu. Putting on the dragon robe, he waited for him to come out and looked in the mirror.

"I'm alone, how do you dress?"

The eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "After the prince wears this, he will immediately show his might." Then he slapped himself suddenly, "Damn the little one, it's the holy majesty. This is the real dragon showing up. How can I still be called the prince?" Where are his hands, unexpectedly he gave the prince a full blow in a serious manner, and his whole body fell on the ground, truly throwing himself on the ground.When he knelt down, all the people in the room suddenly shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live."

The prince's face was flushed red, and he was about to reach out his hand excitedly to say that all the loves are alive, when he heard someone outside suddenly report: "The queen is here!"

The queen came very quickly, the prince took off his robe in a hurry, the queen entered the door, and then walked to the front of the hall, the prince knelt down for the queen, and saw the queen slap the prince on the face, the prince was suddenly slapped The head was hit sideways, and the dragon crown on the back of the head was thrown aside, and the engraving of the double dragon playing beads on it trembled, but it did not deform in the end.

"Your father is not dead, you are good. Instead of going to Rehe to fulfill your filial piety, you actually wear a dragon robe in your own palace. You are afraid that others will not know that you are planning to rebel." The queen's face was ugly. How could his son be so stupid? If it weren't for the eyes and ears placed in the East Palace to report to him, he would still be kept in the dark, waiting for the emperor to abolish the crown prince in the future, and he would not have time to save his son.

"No son, it's just...just, they...they..." The prince pointed to the one kneeling at the bottom, but he wanted to point to the one kneeling at the front, but suddenly remembered the sweetness of the other party, so he pointed again Pointing to the back.

The queen stretched out her hand and gave another slap, her fingers trembling with anger, she pointed her index finger at the prince: "At this time, there is no one to take responsibility, but Fan is actually shunning others."

The prince immediately knelt down for the queen, his face that was covered with his hands was propped to the ground, and then he looked at the ground: "I have never thought about it, this time I was confused."

"I was confused for a while, and you can change the nine admirals for a while?" The queen's face was ashen. After she heard that the prince had changed the nine admirals, she knew something was wrong. It is not justified to really win the throne.

The prince was immediately speechless this time. He actually didn't think about it before. It was just because someone from the bottom said hello to him, and it was reported that his father was sick soon, so he made preparations early.

"I just heard that my father is seriously ill, and I'm afraid that the capital will be in chaos." The prince replied stubbornly, still keeping his head down and not daring to meet the queen's gaze.

"Since I heard that the Holy Majesty is ill, you should go to Rehe and try on the dragon robe here. If your father finds out in the future, how will you take on the position of the crown prince?"

"Father has been awake for three days, how could it be okay!" After being told too much, the prince couldn't bear it anymore and got up, and then took a step forward, approaching the queen. The queen's eyes changed, and she supported him The people who were waiting on the side, then looked at the kneeling people in the room, and finally said dejectedly.

"I hope your father is really dying. If the Holy Majesty returns to Beijing this time, we will never end well in the future." The queen paused after speaking, feeling powerless.

The prince felt that his mother and concubine really thought too much: "Mother, you just wait to become the empress dowager as soon as possible, there is no need to worry too much."

The corner of the Queen's mouth twitched, and she lifted her foot to leave.After waiting for the queen to leave, the prince frowned and glanced at the dragon crown on the ground, and ordered: "Since it has fallen, tell the people below to make another crown."

The people below responded in unison, and then left quietly.

King Yong didn't know what the prince had done in the capital, but he did know that the prince must have not received the words that the majesty asked the prince to come to Rehe, otherwise they would not be able to show their seventh brother's ability.

King Yong only recently found out the identity of nobleman Wei. Concubine De could last so long. King Yong didn't expect this level. After all, this person died young in his previous life. Looking at it now, he is indeed right, immortal I was also forced to death by the words of the Holy Majesty.

After all, King Jing was angry, so he met with King Yong twice in three days, and he realized that something was wrong: "Third brother, why is your little four so good with that boy of Zhen's family?"

King Yong glanced out of the window, and saw Zhen Zhu and the fourth elder brother squatting by the lake to fish together, "Zhu'er and the fourth elder brother sworn brothers, I have already reported to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty also agreed."

"This is a way of understanding. I think so. Father has let go of this matter for more than ten years, but now, third brother, you can do it."

"That one daughter in total, and that daughter has only one son now. The royal family's bloodline must not be sloppy, and others can't always let others look down upon it."

"That's right, when we meet in the future, he will have to call me uncle." King Jing chuckled, and then sighed, "That is to say, these little ones have nothing to worry about, like you and me, whose anxious heart is stuck in their throats now." Alright."

King Yong slowly took a pot of orchids and placed them in front of his eyes, then took out a pair of scissors and began to trim slowly: "You are the one who is anxious, but this king is not worried at all."

King Jing let out a hey, and then surrendered: "Come on, how can I follow you, brother? You must be so taller than me, brother, I am convinced."

King Jing thought about himself. If this matter was stuck on him now, he probably would have rushed out long ago. Didn't he see that the elder brother has been jumping up and down in front of his father, saying that the prince is not good? Don't think that everyone else is a fool. On the contrary, the fourth child was a little strange, and he didn't want to join in. He also heard that Princess Qing was about to give birth.

Zhen Zhu squatted by the lake, quietly watching his fishing head trembling constantly, guessing that the bait underneath was taken away by the fish again, he thought for a while and finally sat down on the ground, and then went with the fishing rod No, he couldn't catch it anyway.

The little Si brother on the side was also anxious, he waited and waited and didn't catch one, so he scratched his head like a monkey, not to mention if there were a few more hairs, he would look like a monkey, Zhenzhu lay lazily on the grass, hands Pillowed on the back of his head, enjoying the morning sun with his eyes closed, the little fourth elder brother quietly came to the side, and then asked in a low voice: "Tell me, why haven't you seen the father go out recently, and the fifth uncle has come to look for him many times. Father, is there something important?"

Zhen Zhu didn't answer, but Brother Xiao Si could tell. What is his identity? Stretching his foot here would be the material to seek death, but what happened in the 47th year of Shengzu? The nerves of the people who did it several times before and after have been tense for several years.

"Hey, you said, before the emperor's grandfather was sick, we all went, but now we are not well, so we are not allowed to go." After all, brother Xiaosi is the seed of King Yong, and his political thinking is also strong. Think more than others.

Zhen Zhu raised one eye and glanced at the little Si elder brother: "Si elder brother, look, did you eat too much at noon?"

Brother Xiao Si didn't know why, so Zhen Zhu didn't answer the conversation. If it wasn't for eating too much, how could he be full and have nothing to do, just let it go.
