When the Nine Emperors said this, they added with some sympathy: "The eldest brother really admires me, his heart is so determined, but it's a pity that my father has to drive him crazy." Starling, counting this time, the eldest brother has already been ruined, how many people can withstand such a blow? ”

When the eighth prince heard this, he could only sigh, the emperor had a deep understanding of the torture of these princes.

"Come on, eat, don't talk about these sad things, starling, you shouldn't have anything to worry about now, come and eat, eat."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the ninth prince, the eighth prince couldn't help but be a little moved, and he also let go of the happy things and eat.

Early the next morning, the Eighth Emperor was summoned into the palace by the Emperor, and while the Emperor was reviewing the chapters, he asked the Eighth Prince: "Wenhui, did you find this puppet in Lao Jiu?" ”

"Qiyu sage, Erchen, Erchen didn't see any puppets, presumably someone wanted to frame Lao Jiu."

After the Eighth Emperor said this, a eunuch outside came in and said, "Qi Qi Sage, the Nine Emperor Princes are asking to see outside." ”

"Xuan."

After a while, the Nine Emperor Princes walked in in a prison uniform and shackles, somewhat unruly.

When the emperor saw him like this, he frowned and said, "Wen Jun, what kind of system are you!" ”

"Enlighten the father, the son is guilty, the son is guilty of using the technique of victory to kill the eldest brother privately, and the son is guilty."

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the eighth prince and asked, "Wen Jun, Wen Hui can know about this matter." ”

"Starling saw me take out those two puppets with my own eyes, Starling, you said yes?" Kneeling on the ground, there was a hint of cunning in the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, like a fox staring at its prey.

When the eighth prince heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and begged for mercy with his head like pounding garlic: "Sage Mingjian, sage Mingjian." ”

"Wenhui, let's go to the Three Provinces Hall to reflect on it, I have never liked people to lie in front of me, don't you know?" When the emperor said this, he threw the song in his hand on the head of the eighth prince.

When the Eighth Prince was about to say something, Li Xingye walked in at this time, asked the guards to escort the Eighth Prince down, and whispered in the Eighth Prince's ear: "Don't say too much, provoke the saint to thunder." ”

After the Eighth Emperor pressed it down, the Emperor looked at the Nine Emperors angrily and said, "Wen Jun, you don't think that you are going to the Three Provincial Palaces this time. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes did not speak, but knelt here quietly, and in less than ten breaths, Li Xingye walked in and said, "Your Majesty, more than 100 ministers such as Situ Qing of the Earth Department are kneeling outside the Dayu Gate, asking Your Majesty to pardon the Nine Emperor Princes, so as not to hurt the face of the Heavenly Family." ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that Wen Jun dared to come here because you have such a backer, do you think that with hundreds of officials behind you, you can do whatever you want?" Li Xingye, tell them to all retreat, and after a quarter of an hour, all those who kneel in front of the Dayu Gate will be put into the prison. ”

"Father, you are not a person who is not used for you, and they will not take half a step back. If the father doesn't cherish feathers, what can the son do even if he goes to the Zongren Mansion? ”

After the Nine Emperors finished speaking, they looked at the people around them, and then looked at the emperor proudly.

The emperor waved his hand and let all the people present go down, staring at Wen Jun and saying, "You are very sure, I will not imprison them." ”

"Yes, father, father, what a person you love to be famous, before the previous dynasty, but you were called Your Majesty, called the emperor, and father, but you want the world to call you a saint, such a virtuous father, how could you ruin your reputation because of this little matter of your sons, and let you fall into the reputation of a tyrant and a dumb king? Father, how many people in the world are staring at you, just waiting to see your jokes. ”

Hearing the Nine Emperors' disrespectful words, the anger on the emperor's face disappeared instead, and he said to Wen Jun: "Yes, Wen Jun, you guessed this matter correctly, but how can you be sure that Da Situ Qing and the others will stay for you and choose to enter the heavenly prison?" ”

"If the sons and daughters don't have this certainty, they won't dare to come to see your father today."

"Oh, let's hear it."

"Father, you have given your sons a book to read since childhood, the eldest brother is Shangshu, the fourth brother is Li Hanlinji, and I am Taishi Gongshu. Since the age of six, Erchen has been looking at it day and night, the so-called law of the Three Emperors, the way of the Five Emperors, and Erchen only sees one that is not credible. The so-called wisdom of good ministers and the strategy of soldiers, the sons and daughters only see that one is not credible. Only the goods are passed on, and the sons read it repeatedly, and finally understand that the world is big, the four seas are wide, and it is nothing more than the word bustling, and what all living beings want, but it is just a sharp word. ”

When the Nine Emperor Princes said this, the Emperor asked him to stand up and continue.

"Father, when Emperor Taizu Gao raised his army, there were only seven strategists and ministers around him, and after the capital was set to the southern capital, General Confucianism was only a hundred. And after the victory in Xucheng and the surrender of Andinghou, the three armies went on a northern expedition, and the followers were like clouds, and the responders were like rain. Could it really be that they know that my Emperor Taizu Gao has the heavens to respond to the people, save the people from fire and water, and relieve the people from being upside down? It seems that the sons are not, they just want to mix a minister from the dragon and win a glory and wealth. ”

The Nine Emperors said, pointing to the door and saying, "In the past thousands of years, how many people have wanted this, and the sons just gave them a little silver tickets, and they sold their lives to the sons." ”

"Da Situ Qing has always been known for being honest, I don't know how much money Wen Jun spent on you?"

"Father, the profit in this world is not necessarily money and silver, but also fame. Erchen was just a little polite and virtuous, praised Da Situ Qing a few words, drank tea a few times, talked a few times, and let him listen to me obediently without spending a penny. Father, even if you are a wise man, you don't know how to rule at all, you are to our brothers, except for the circle, the circle is the circle. Erchen understands from you that if you say a few more good words to others, others will be very happy. ”

Hearing the words of the Nine Emperor Princes, the emperor was silent for a long time, and said to the Nine Emperor Princes: "This Taishi Gongshu, it seems that you have read it off." It's a pity, it's a pity......"

When the emperor said this, he paused again, and the Nine Emperors said dissatisfiedly to the emperor: "The most disliked by the sons is the father and the emperor, you know what is wrong with the sons, but you always want to let the sons and daughters wake up by themselves, and the sons and daughters are not all as holy and wise as the father and emperor, how can they wake up." ”

"Father, you said that the son-in-law read the wrong thing, but the son-in-law can stand here and talk about it. Father, the son can be honest with you, even if you kill the hundreds of officials outside now, what is the use, I have 20,000 people in the Yu Dynasty, how many of them are not greedy for fame and fortune. Father, you can't kill it all, and you can't finish it, and if our nine sons are here, they will fight against you. The only way for you is to kill us, haha, then the eldest brother who is already a little crazy will ascend to the throne, father, you are under Jiuquan, how can you face my Taizu Emperor Gao, your father? ”

The Nine Emperors' words were extremely presumptuous, and when the emperor heard this, his face remained calm, and he looked at the Nine Emperors and said, "Yes, Wen Jun, you keep talking, I didn't expect that you already have your own thoughts so much, I want to continue listening." ”

"Father, the hundred officials are afraid of you now, and they will naturally be afraid of their sons. I beg your pardon for saying a disrespectful word. ”

"Have you said less disrespectful words today? I don't lack this sentence anymore. ”

"Father, you are high in the Spring and Autumn Period, your life is rare for seventy years, Emperor Xuan and above, you can't be trusted, Emperor Xuan is below, the emperor has one hundred and thirty-eight people, and there are only four of them who are over the first class. Although the retainers shouted long live, how could there be a long live emperor. A hundred years after the father, the court always has to change people, and now they are afraid of you killing, so they are even more afraid of the new emperor killing. ”

The emperor nodded and asked the Nine Emperors: "Listen to you, once I collapse the mountain, this world will be yours and yours." ”

"Yes, father, there is no need to say those unreasonable lies between our father and son, and now half of the soldiers of the two Zhili Mansions obey the orders of their sons. Erchen knew that the country of the Great Yu Dynasty was fought for by Emperor Gao, and Erchen would fight for it no matter what. There are many examples in the Taishi Gongshu telling Erchen that the first strike is the first to be controlled. ”

When the emperor heard the rebellious language of the Nine Emperor Princes, he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you are really the child born to Concubine Ping, you go back, and put your Taishi Gongshu a few more times, maybe you can really inherit my position." Wen Jun, although your words today are very disrespectful, I am really happy. It's been a long time since I've heard you say what you think. ”

"Erchen didn't dare to deceive, Erchen knew why his father wanted to abolish the eldest brother, the eldest brother was incompetent. But the sons are different, if the father had put the sons in the bag earlier, the sons would have come out a long time ago. ”

The Emperor nodded and waved his hand to let the Nine Emperors leave.

Before the Nine Emperors left, Concubine Ping walked in, and immediately apologized after saluting and said: "Wen Jun is young and ignorant, and the concubines have been out for the saint all the year round, and they are negligent in disciplining. I also asked the saint to be more forgiving, so that he could enter the Three Provinces Hall and reflect on his life. ”

"No need, even if Wen Jun goes to the Three Provinces Palace, it is useless, if he can really listen to me, read the Taishi Gongshu carefully, and the Dayu Dynasty can also be handed over to him in the future." When the emperor said this, he said to Concubine Ping: "If Wen Jun comes to you again to ask for peace, you tell him that the biography of Wu Taibolie in the Taishi Gongshu must be carefully studied." ”

Concubine Ping said respectfully: "The concubine knows, but the concubine will definitely tell Wen Jun." ”

"I'm really a little guilty about your brother's affairs." Looking at Concubine Ping, the emperor suddenly said with some sadness. Concubine Ping said as usual: "I can save the saint, Ping Guogong must be very happy in his heart, and please don't mind the saint." It's just that the concubine heard that the eighth prince was imprisoned in the palace of the three provinces, whether it had anything to do with Wen Jun's matter. ”

"Wen Hui has to reflect on it this time, he is smart, he is calculated by Wen Jun and he doesn't know it, how can he assist the new emperor in the future."
