Under the rising sun, Xiao Shaozong’s delicate face became even paler.

Qi Ning seemed to understand a little, and sighed: “A pool of stagnant water can only have no fish. The bigger the pond, the more fish there will always be.”

“It makes sense, it makes sense.” Xiao Shaozong nodded slightly: “As long as there is a fish, hook it down, and you can always catch it.” He raised his head slightly, looked at the blue sky, and was silent for a moment before saying, “How is the court going to send me down?”

“Don’t worry about the prince.” Qi Ning said: “The emperor has made a decree. Although the prince has done it, the prince is innocent, and the prince can still live in the palace.”

“The palace?” Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly: “Since the father is gone, there is no palace, it’s just a big mansion…!” Shaking his head: “It’s not a mansion, I can only say It’s a big cage. The emperor cares about his old feelings, and he didn’t order me to punish me. He has done his best.”

Qi Ning said, “Although the prince lives here, since the emperor has a will, all future expenses will naturally be provided in time.”

Xiao Shaozong thought for a while before saying, “You thank the emperor on my behalf.” After a pause, he said, “Jinyi Hou, there is something I want to trouble you.”

“Sir, please speak.”

“Since the emperor has a will, he doesn’t want me to die now. I naturally have to obey the emperor’s order. If the emperor wants to take my life, I can obey the order at any time.” Xiao Shaozong said: “But my body I don’t know how long it will last, but there is a doctor in the house who dispenses medicine for me every day, if it’s convenient, can I keep him?”

Qi Ning said, “Doctor?”

“It’s not an important person.” Xiao Shaozong said with a light smile, “I can’t protect myself, and now I don’t think about protecting others. Even if I have the heart, I don’t have that kind of ability. That doctor is called Yuan Moli, and my father looked for me a few years ago. The doctor who came, the medicinal materials he prepared can alleviate my suffering to some extent, so I have stayed in the mansion.”

“Yuan Moli?” Qi Ning recited lightly, knowing that Xiao Shaozong was terminally ill, and there must be a doctor by his side.

“This person’s net worth is very innocent.” Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: “If you are worried about Jin Yihou, you can send someone to investigate his details first. The emperor can save me from the death penalty. It is indeed difficult for Yuan Moli to stay, and if it is difficult, Jin Yihou doesn’t need to care about my words.”

Qi Ning said: “Since it is about the body of the prince, I will report to the emperor. The emperor has always been very caring for the prince, so there should be no problem.”

“If that’s the case, then thank you very much.” Xiao Shaozong nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: “There is something I shouldn’t have asked, but I may not be able to see Jin Yi Hou often in the future, so I might as well ask.”

“Sir, please!”

Xiao Shaozong stared into Qi Ning’s eyes and asked, “The change in the imperial mausoleum, in the view of the marquis, did the king want to eradicate the powerful ministers, or to usurp the throne?”

Qi Ning didn’t expect Xiao Shaozong’s question to be so direct. After hesitating for a while, Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: “It’s really hard to answer. In fact, from the very beginning, the father was wrong. The father is the direct bloodline of Emperor Taizu, and many people It is said that the father and son should inherit the throne, but no one knows that for so many years, this sentence has made our father and son walk on thin ice, trembling day and night.”

Qi Ning let out an “oh”, Xiao Shaozong’s voice was soft and slow: “Emperor Taizu died, his father was young, and only Emperor Taizong could take on the great responsibility. , was invincible, and only then conquered the world of Great Chu.” With an indifferent smile, “It’s spreading around the world that when Emperor Taizu was alone with Emperor Taizong, Emperor Taizong made an oath to Emperor Taizu that he would only wait for his father to grow up. Emperor Taizong will pass the throne to his father.” He glanced at Qi Ning and asked, “Isn’t Jin Yihou heard about this?”

Qi Ning didn’t deny it, just nodded slightly.

“Actually today, did Emperor Taizong really make this oath in front of Emperor Taizu,

No one can produce evidence of that.

Xiao Shaozong sighed: “Then Emperor Taizong died and the first emperor succeeded him. Some people thought that Emperor Taizong broke his promise and did not pass the throne to his father.”

”

Qi Ning knew that these matters were extremely sensitive, Xiao Shaozong could say it, he could listen, but he couldn’t say one more word.

“I even heard rumors that after the late emperor succeeded to the throne, the old marquis of the golden knife even secretly advised the late emperor, begging the late emperor to set up the father and king as the heir.” Xiao Shaozong said calmly, “Since Emperor Taizong, he has been The previous emperors were all kind to their father and emperor, and the rewards of the Huainan Palace far exceeded all the courtiers, and even this Huainan Palace was expanded several times, and it was magnificent…!”

A gust of breeze blew, and the surface of the pool was full of waves, sparkling, and the fishing line in front of the fishing rod also swayed gently in the pool water.

“No one knows that over the years, the fears and fears that my father has suffered are more than anyone else’s.” Xiao Shaozong sighed: “Jinyihou, if you were the father, would you sleep well?”

Qi Ning just listened carefully and did not answer.

“The court and the opposition all feel that the father is unwilling, and he has the intention to usurp the throne. Therefore, no matter what the father does, it is always wrong.” Xiao Shaozong said with a wry smile: “Emperor Taizu and the previous emperor are tolerant and kind, and have never embarrassed father. Wang, if it were someone else, I’m afraid that our father and son would already be dead.”

Qi Ning couldn’t help but sighed.

Xiao Shaozong was holding the fishing rod in his hand, his arm did not shake in the slightest, like a fixed stone sculpture, which also showed the calmness in his heart.

“Actually, the king knows very well in his heart that as long as he is an idle prince and enjoys glory and wealth, he should be able to die in peace.” Xiao Shaozong said, “It’s not that he is unwilling to not inherit the throne, but that he is unwilling to be the direct descendant of the dignified Emperor Taizu. The words of the court were actually unstoppable even by ordinary officials. Everyone felt that whatever the father said or did was a misfortune, and the father could not bear such grievances… ..!” He sighed softly: “Actually, it’s no wonder the father, the father was rich and noble in his life, but he didn’t really suffer much, and he was arrogant and arrogant, and how could he bear grievances.”

Qi Ning put himself in his shoes and thought, and felt that what Xiao Shaozong said was not without reason.

“Everyone thinks that the change of the imperial mausoleum is because the father wants to usurp the throne.” Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly: “But I thought that the father did not want to usurp the throne, he was just unwilling to hold the Sima family in the court. To gain power, he is afraid that the Jiangshan inherited by Emperor Taizu will change his surname to someone else, so even if he knows that he is no match, he has to fight for it.”

Although Qi Ning did not agree with what Xiao Shaozong said, he could understand the prince.

Xiao Shaozong and the King of Huainan are father and son after all. As a son, Xiao Shaozong certainly would not speculate on his father from the worst direction. Maybe what he said today was not explaining anything to Qi Ning, but explaining to himself. In order to maintain the image of his father in his heart.

“Actually, this ending is not necessarily a bad thing.” Xiao Shaozong said: “Father and Wang have been afraid for so many years, and now that his soul has returned to Jiuquan, he can really rest in peace, and there is no need to be afraid, and no one will gossip behind his back. The Prince of Huainan has half footed into the coffin, maybe he won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow, and surely no one will think that a useless person like me will threaten the court…!” Speaking of this, suddenly After a violent cough, Qi Ning immediately stepped forward, patted Xiao Shaozong’s back, and said with concern, “Sir, I will call Yuan Moli immediately!”

Xiao Shaozong had already raised his hand to cover his mouth with a handkerchief. When he coughed, his body kept shaking and he looked very weak.

This prince is already short in stature, and coupled with the long-term lingering sickbed, his body is indeed very weak. This cough seems to be able to pass at any time.

“I have… I have to work…!” Xiao Shaozong stopped coughing and wiped the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief. Qi Ning could see clearly beside him, but after coughing, the handkerchief was already full of blood. , not as bright red as ordinary blood, but a little black.

Qi Ning didn’t say much, just whispered: “The prince should take care of himself, the emperor has a will, and no one should embarrass the prince. As long as the prince stays in the palace, no one dares to touch you.” He cupped his hands and turned around. leave.

Xiao Shaozong’s condition was getting worse and worse, and looking at it, he was indeed dying soon.

Back in the front yard, a group of soldiers under Chi Fengdian surrounded the family members of the Huainan Palace in a circle, holding a spear and a large sword in their hands, Qi Ning said loudly, “Where is Yuan Moli?”

A tall and thin man in his early fifties raised his head and said, “Little man Yuan Moli!”

“The eldest son is over at the fish pond, you go to serve.” Qi Ning ordered with both hands on his back: “From today onwards, you will take care of the eldest son by his side. If the eldest son loses a hair, you are the only one who asks.”

“Is your son suffering from a medical condition?” Yuan Moli looked worried: “Thank you, Lord Marquis, the villain will pass now.” He got up and hurried away.

Chi Fengdian was a little strange, Qi Ning went over to explain, Chi Fengdian said: “When the humble general returns to the palace to resume his order, it is good to report to the emperor.”

Only then did Qi Ning walk back, pass through the main hall, and at the back is the middle courtyard. The Huainan Palace is huge and very open, but the middle courtyard is also amazingly large, and it can accommodate two or three hundred people. It is now in the middle courtyard. There were a few tables, and several household officials were registering their belongings. Whenever an item was sent, it would be registered in the register.

Dou Kui carried his hands on his back and was calm. At this moment, the courtyard was already full of many boxes, and there were also many antique calligraphy and paintings on the ground, all of which were full of brilliance and brilliance. Qi Ning naturally saw a lot of them in the Jinyihou Mansion. Antique calligraphy and painting, but when I saw the scene in front of me, I realized that the utensils and furnishings in the Jinyihou mansion were far from the treasures of the Huainan palace.
