Chapter 12

Back at Cuiyun Pavilion, Shen Hui's expression had returned to normal.In order to make him forget the unhappiness just now, Rong Yu decided to make a pot of good tea.

Finely grind his favorite Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, the moment the soup is poured, the room is full of fragrance, which makes people feel very happy.

However, with a bang, all the tranquility was completely shattered, Rong Yu hurriedly turned around, and saw that Shen Hui's face was livid, and a rabbit lamp was thrown on the ground, already smashed to pieces.

Shen Hui held a book of memorials in his hand, and threw it in front of Rong Yu angrily, and Shen Sheng ordered him to read it.

Bending down to pick it up, the neat lowercase letters on the memorabilia came into view, and his heart beat faster in an instant, because it said impressively, "For the elder, it has been like this since ancient times. The eldest son of the emperor is benevolent and filial. In the beginning, there will be no peaceful days, and the past dynasties can be a lesson for the past. I respectfully ask the King of Chu to abdicate the throne to let the elders... The inscription is Yang Cunzhou, Minister of Dali Temple.

Huaifeng and the others heard the commotion and ran in hastily, seeing the broken porcelain on the ground, they automatically held their breath and did not dare to say more.

Fantine knelt down to pick up the pieces. The broken porcelain had sharp edges, and blood gushed out instantly when her fingers were scratched.Rong Yu was busy leaning over to look at her wound, but she avoided it, and quickly wrapped the pieces in her skirt. When he left, he looked at Rong Yu, the earnestness in his eyes almost made him feel immediately, as if he was under a heavy burden on the shoulders.

Rong Yu closed the memorial and put it back on the desk, thought for a while, and asked, "The person His Highness hates is not Yang Cunzhou, but King Qin, right?"

There was obvious hatred on Shen Hui's face, and his eyes were piercing, "Gu has made so much effort, can't they see it? Just because Shen Che is the eldest son, can he be pressed on Gu's head in a grand manner? Dayin's court Just raised these beetles for fame!"

Rong Yu thought about his words, and said in a gentle voice, "The so-called people and ministers are those who follow the rules of the country and follow the rules. If they can't follow the etiquette and admonish the emperor, then they are really poor. I heard that the emperor once commented on Master Yang's daring to obey the rules." Ironically, there is an example of Duke Wenzhen of Wei in the early Tang Dynasty. Duke Wenzhen was also loyal to the crown prince, and was hated by Taizong at first, but fortunately Taizong was still moved by his loyalty and direct advice, and was willing to use him. "

After a pause, he turned the subject, "I see, Lord Yang and Duke Wenzhen also have similarities, but Lord Yang is loyal to the etiquette of elders and children, not His Royal Highness the eldest son. So you don't have to be angry at what Lord Yang said , besides, you are already the Crown Prince who will tell the world."

He naturally had his concerns when he said these words. On the one hand, he was afraid that Shen Hui would kill Yang Cunzhou in a fit of anger, and on the other hand, he was even more afraid that he would want to get rid of his elder brother because he was afraid of his elder brother.

He knew very well that in any age and under any etiquette, no one would have a good opinion of an emperor who killed his feet, not to mention that the other party had long since been unable to fight back, and was just an empty shell.

"You are good at making comparisons, but it's a pity that Gu is not Li Shimin." Shen Hui narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Being loyal to etiquette is sometimes more stubborn than being loyal to a person! As long as Shen Che lives for a day, Gu will never be able to sit in this position." Don’t be afraid, let’s get rid of this trouble. Immediately, send the captain of the Imperial Forest Army to come in, and I have something to tell him.”

Sure enough, he was afraid of something, and he blurted out, "His Royal Highness!"

Ignoring the respect and prudence with which he usually spoke, Rong Yu said in a loud voice, "If the King of Qin is killed, what is the difference between His Highness and Emperor Yang? How will future generations evaluate, has Your Highness thought about it?"

Shen Hui suddenly turned to look at him, and said sharply, "You actually spoke for Shen Che? Have you forgotten that he wanted to kill you that day?"

Rong Yu shook his head, "I don't want to remember that, I just remember that you saved my life many times, so I can't just watch you pretend to kill my brother, and I can't let you bear a thousand years of infamy."

Shen Hui raised his chin, and said proudly, "As a king, one is to turn over a thousand years of public affairs and let others comment. I don't care."

He said this out of desperation, Rong and his heart ached, he shook his head and said, "If the King of Qin has the ability to compete with you, how could he end up being expelled from the fiefdom today. He has no threat to you Your Highness is really afraid of him, you can reduce the military strength of the feudal town, and you can even call his heirs to Beijing as hostages, there is really no need to kill him, after all, he is your elder brother."

Shen Hui remained silent, as if he was considering his words.Rong Yu sighed silently, conscious that he had done his best, and could only bow his head and wait for his final decision.

"Shen Che, you don't have to kill Gu." Looking at the person in front of him with eyes full of surprise, Shen Che just smiled lightly, "Yang Cunzhou can't stay. He persuaded Gu to take the throne because he didn't have the slightest respect for the prince and didn't respect the holy will. People who commit the most heinous crimes must kill one to serve as an example to others."

The thoughts in his head were messed up again, and Rong Yu couldn't say a word for a long time. He tried to persuade him, but he also knew in his heart that Shen Hui had already given in. fear.

Under the silence, Rong Yu bit his lip and did not speak.Seeing his appearance, Shen Hui couldn't bear it, "These two are the disasters that shake the foundation of the country. If you persuade me not to kill Shen Che, I can listen. Then Yang Cunzhou must die."

Rong and his eyelashes trembled slightly, these words have already given him enough face, if he doesn't know the current affairs to persuade, I'm afraid it can only be called ignorant of good and evil.

Shen Shen nodded, and he smiled gratefully at Shen Hui.

Three days later, according to the order of the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, Yang Cunzhou, the Minister of Dali Temple, was imprisoned with no ministers.So far, no one in the court dared to mention the struggle for the foundation of the country.

After this incident passed, Shen Hui's attitude towards Rong Yu became more and more gentle. They seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other, and they didn't mention anything about Shen Che. Of course, including what Rong Yu heard that day, the emperor I want to call the eldest son back to Beijing.

In the evening, he still went to Dongnuan Pavilion to visit the emperor who was in a coma. Just before entering the palace, Shen Hui suddenly acted uncharacteristically and asked Rong Yu to follow him.Rong Yu only hesitated for a moment, then obeyed the order without asking any further questions.

Standing outside the Nuan Pavilion, from a distance that is not too far away, Rong Yu saw the sleeping emperor on the bed, his face was ashen and defeated, his breathing seemed to be uneven, and every time he exhaled, there was a breath A rotten smell.

Shen Hui was sitting in front of the couch, without a hint of disgust on his face, calling his father softly.

The emperor stared in confusion, as if he heard it, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy and stagnant, stared at Shen Hui for a long time, as if he was trying to identify it, and after a long time he let out a breath, and said weakly, "It's you, it's you! What about my son? Didn't I ask him to come back... Where did he go..."

Such an opening remark, even Rong and listening, felt sorry for Shen Hui, but he replied with a smile, "Brother should be near Zhuojun soon, why does the emperor only think about him, son, are you not happy?" ?”

The emperor half closed his eyes, "I just want to see him."

"Father likes to look at his face, just like seeing himself when he was young, doesn't he?" Shen Hui smiled slightly, "But just because of that face, you seem to be too partial."

The emperor's breathing became heavier, and he opened his eyes slightly to stare at Shen Hui's face, "Are I biased? If I was biased, how could I make you the crown prince? I know you have resentment in your heart, but Che'er is the eldest son, if not He is not suitable for a high position, and I will never abandon the elders to replace the younger ones, you should be content. It's just that this position is not easy to do, and you will understand in the future." He spoke very slowly, and he was out of breath by the end.

Shen Hui gently followed the emperor's chest, with a wispy smile, and said word by word, "Really? My son thinks it's not that difficult. It's because the father thinks too much and can't let it go. I won't let it go because of this in the future." I like to be biased towards my children, but to be honest, father and son, husband and wife, brothers are not important compared to this position, and the Tian family has no family affection, even the yellow-mouthed children outside know this."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him, "What are you talking about, you, did you do something to Che'er...he hasn't come back for so long, are you...you, how dare you..."

"Father is worrying too much. My son is not as bad as you think. I won't kill elder brother, but I didn't send him back. Thinking about it now, elder brother should have already arrived in Xi'an mansion."

The emperor struggled and tried desperately to get up, but failed several times, and finally fell down on the bed dejectedly, but slowly stretched out his finger to Shen Hui, "You... how dare you resist the order."

Shen Hui's smile deepened, "Why don't you dare, this world will soon belong to my son. I can't let you meet your eldest brother at this time, in case you are moved by Yi Chu again, Isn't my son about to die unjustly?"

Smiling leisurely, the pair of phoenix eyes were shining brightly, "Actually, you have been waiting for this day for a long time, won't you be able to see the concubine mother sooner?"

Every time he said a word, the emperor's breathing became more rapid and flustered. In less than a moment, he exhaled more air than he inhaled. His pale and thin hands tightly covered his chest, and his body was constantly shaking.

Shen Hui stood up lightly and deftly, looked at the scene calmly, then glanced back at Rong Yu suddenly, and said with a bright smile, "Father said that I resisted the decree, but in fact I resisted it a long time ago. You said you would kill me!" I have never killed anyone, and I have kept them by my side until today."

After finishing speaking, Chong Rong and nodded, signaling him to enter the warm pavilion.

A thunderbolt exploded in Rong Yu's mind, no wonder he was able to come out of the North No. [-] Institute unharmed, it turned out to be the result of Shen Hui's correction.In fact, he should have thought about it earlier, the emperor executed the servant who had raised Shen Che earlier, of course there was no reason to allow him to live in this world.

Rong Yu didn't know how he got into the warm pavilion, he just felt that the blood in his whole body was coagulated, and there was only one question in his head, why did Shen Hui spare his life, is it for today, to make him the last one who overwhelmed the situation again? a pawn.

"Father," Shen Hui called softly, "Open your eyes and see, who is he?"

The emperor's hands trembled even more, as if he had to use all his strength to open his eyes, and his cloudy eyes fell on Rong He's half-sagging face.

Rong and subconsciously lowered his head and looked away, only hoping in his heart that he would not recognize him.

It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. The emperor turned his head and stared at him carefully. At a certain moment, he suddenly remembered that he had seen this face before. For a moment, his eyes were wide open, and the fingers covering his chest pointed at the young servant with twinkling eyes. .

Tolerance and the secret path are not good, and from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of blue veins on his skinny hands, and his fingertips kept shaking, shaking again.

But the shaking became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped with the sudden drop of the arm.

There was deathly silence in the warm pavilion, so eerily unspeakable.

Rong Yu heard the trembling sound of his own teeth, he knew that the emperor was suffering from a heart disease, he couldn't help being stimulated, and it was very easy to cause a myocardial infarction when he was angry.

If this is the case, he doesn't know whether he should reach out for help.Out of the instinctive reaction of a medical student, he really wanted to try his best to save this person, but after thinking about it calmly, if the matter developed to this point, if the emperor regained his sanity, it would be hard to say how many people would die next.

When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.

Shen Hui's desperate situation might have driven him to a dead end, Rong Yu hesitated, forcing himself to look up at the couch.

Then he saw the emperor motionless, his face livid and distorted, his eyes wide open, as if expressing endless resentment and unwillingness.
