Chapter 68 Resolve the knot

On the second day, Prince Qi came to the Palace of Imperial Harmony early.

After entering the hall, he knelt down and kowtowed.

The old emperor glanced at him, and asked lazily, "Have I made up my mind?"

Prince Qi knelt on the ground, heard his back and said: "Think about it."

Without waiting for the old emperor to say anything, he kowtowed again and said, "My son, please abolish me as the crown prince!"

The old emperor's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Prince Qi to come to him, did he plan to go to the Tata Department to get married.

"You said this, do you still remember what I said at that time?" The old emperor said coldly.

Prince Qi was quiet for a moment, and replied: "Before my son went to war, Father said that we should keep a low profile and bide our time. When I have no experience, I should listen to the words of experienced people. Only when I have full wings can I soar into the sky."

"You..." The old emperor frowned slightly.

This is obviously not what he asked, but after hearing these words, he recalled Prince Qi's straightforward appearance in a trance.

What a bright young man, he originally wanted Prince Qi to take his place.

"When my son was going to the southern border, Master Xue used his son as a bait to lure the enemy. My son was obedient, but my son almost died in a pool of blood. It was Pei Ran who carried her back to the camp."

The old emperor frowned even deeper.

Prince Qi continued: "He was kind enough to save my son's life, so my son trusted him, and even more hated Mr. Xue for abandoning his son. Later that time..."

Having said that, Prince Qi hesitated to speak.

His hands clenched into fists.

After waiting for a long time, I said: "I am sure that I can win. If I can get rid of Old Master Xue, I will hold my life in my own hands, but Old Master Xue told Er about the disadvantages."

The old emperor did not speak.

Prince Qi continued: "No matter how insane my son is, I still feel that what Old Master Xue said is reasonable, but Pei Ran told me privately that he has a solution."

After hearing this, the old emperor turned his head slightly, looked sideways at Prince Qi, but didn't say a word.

Prince Qi took a deep breath and said, "After hearing this, I felt that it was feasible. Taking advantage of Master Xue's departure from the camp, I brought [-] soldiers and Pei Ran there, but the Tata Department seemed to want to know, and there was an extra team. .”

The old emperor, who had never expressed his opinion, asked in a deep voice, "It's Pei Ran, right?"

Prince Qi clenched his fist tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, he..."

Prince Qi's voice was a little choked up, "The method he said is useful, but the other party seems to know our plan and has taken precautions. I thought it was a coincidence, or someone was overheard, until Pei Ran pointed the knife at me. "

The old emperor patted the table, "Where's Pei Ran?"

"It's Ha Yuela." Prince Qi's voice trembled, "She hated traitors, so she shot Pei Ran with a sleeve arrow, and Pei Ran was killed on the spot."

The old emperor also clenched his hands into fists, "It's a pity, I can't ask questions."

"If he doesn't die, son will die, but son's later life will be worse than death." Prince Qi said sadly.

After thinking for a while, the old emperor said in a deep voice, "I see, you can go back."

Seeing that the old emperor did not agree, Prince Qi walked to his side on his knees, hugged his leg after a little hesitation, and rested his head on his thigh.

"Father, my son has ignored your words, this is my fault, please punish me." Prince Qi cried and said.

The sound of Prince Qi's weeping sounded in the hall, like the melting ice and snow on the eaves in winter, ticking.

The old emperor looked down at Prince Qi, and finally raised his hand to cover his head, touched it gently, and took a long breath.

"Amu, I shouldn't have let you go to war." The old emperor said regretfully.

Among his many sons, he didn't care who died, and some even misremembered their names. Only Prince Qi was the crystallization of his love with Concubine Li.

How much he looked forward to Prince Qi's return.

Prince Qi's tears wet the front of his clothes, he said: "Your father has failed to live up to my father's expectations."

"Son, what are your plans for the future?"

Prince Qi replied: "My son wants to travel around with Master Banyuan, visit some Taoist temples, and study Taoism."

At this time, the old emperor pulled Prince Qi by the collar to get him up, then looked at him and said, "You want to leave the imperial city?"

Prince Qi put his hands on the old emperor's knees, and said seriously: "Yes, I want to leave this city."

The old emperor lowered his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said lovingly: "I demoted you to be the king of Qi, you can go with Master Banyuan."

Prince Qi took two steps back, kowtowed to the old emperor and said, "Farewell, father."

The old emperor leaned over slightly, touched Prince Qi's face, and looked at him with a smile.

After Prince Qi left, the old emperor's eyes were very cold, and he called Gao Liang.

"Find Shanhe." He mused.

Not long after, Prince Zhao came to the Palace of Imperial Harmony hastily.

"I don't know what father wants to explain to my son?"

The old emperor tapped his fingers on the armrest, and said coldly: "I have something to do for you."

"But father please tell me." Prince Zhao said.

"Go and investigate a man named Pei Ran. He was the one who lured Ah Mu to send troops, and he also betrayed Ah Mu. I want to know who he is."

Prince Zhao frowned slightly after hearing this, didn't Prince Qi make his own decision?

At that time, all the people who followed Prince Qi died on the spot, and only Prince Qi survived.

And everyone else in the barracks knew that Prince Qi would not listen to Old Master Xue's dissuasion to send troops, but they didn't expect that there was a disturbing Pei Ran inside.

After thinking for a while, Prince Zhao bowed and said, "Please give me a direction, Father."

The old emperor said: "He was shot and killed by Chief Yue, and you can grope for the rest in secret. Don't let anyone know. Oh, of course, if you want to deceive others, you can bring that girl Zhiyun with you."

"Yes." Prince Zhao took the order to leave.

When he turned around, the old emperor said: "Lu Shixia's younger sister, I sent someone to pick her up. When she arrives, it's time to choose a concubine for you. I don't think it's better to have one on both sides, okay?"

Prince Zhao frowned deeply, "Zhiyun's son's position of main concubine belongs to Zhiyun. As for the side concubine, I don't want to accept the side concubine, but I hope my father will do it."

But the old emperor waved his hand, "Zhiyun can be the rightful concubine, but I'm afraid that her status won't be able to overwhelm Princess Lu and County Lord Xue."

Prince Zhao frowned, he doesn't want a side concubine!
Seeing his expression, the old emperor just smiled and said: "My son, you think things are simple. Throughout the ages, no emperor has been married for a lifetime. Even if you love her, you have to weigh the pros and cons and choose some high-ranking officials and dignitaries." The daughter of the family came to enrich the harem."

As he said that, the old emperor looked like someone who came here, and said slightly mockingly: "Besides, your Miss Xiao may not be able to become a concubine, even if I don't care, are you pretending that the resistance outside is fake?"

Prince Zhao felt short of breath.

And the old emperor continued: "The Xiao family is just a three-generation lord. Do you think that Qinghou has an official position? Originally, he could have a place in the army with his ability, but it's a pity that he was injured before he made military achievements. , cut off the military route, and compare their family in the ranks, is there any chance of winning?"

In fact, Prince Zhao had thought about these things a long time ago, but now that the old emperor analyzed them again, he felt that the road was more difficult.

If you want to marry Xiao Zhiyun, you have to think carefully.
