Chapter 809 What’s the crime? Long Lihui did not answer directly, but only asked: "What business does Prince Chi have in visiting my father?"The person in front of me is not presentable at all. Compared with Fu Ciyi, he is far inferior. Long Chi'an had a flash of disdain in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled warmly and said, "Of course I have something to discuss with my uncle." "Important matters?" Long Lihui asked again. Long Chi'an smiled and said, "It's nothing important, I just haven't come to see my uncle for a long time, so I came here today on a whim." Long Lihui snorted coldly: "Are you thinking of my dead brother?" Long Chi'an spoke in a very calm voice, with a hint of loneliness in his voice: "Indeed, it has been fifteen or sixteen years now." "The third brother has been dead for so long. You were only a few years old at that time. You were just playmates who played together occasionally." Long Lihui sneered, "How could there be any deep friendship?" Having said that, he pointed to a brand new courtyard in the distance and said, "My father is probably inside." Following the direction he pointed, Long Chi'an saw a courtyard that looked the same as it did before the fire. The address of the courtyard was originally the residence of Princess Jin. I think the uncle of King Jin rebuilt a courtyard on the site where the fire had originally occurred.

I don't know who lives there now, probably one of the favorite concubines of the uncle of Prince Jin. It can be said that things are no longer the same and people are no longer the same. If Fu Ciyi knew, he would definitely be angry. "Thank you for letting me know." Long Chi'an took a step forward. Long Lihui snorted and laughed. His father didn't meet people easily, let alone talk to them. Someone was going to be turned away. He immediately hummed a little tune and went to find someone to have fun with. Long Chi'an arrived outside the yard and was about to step over the threshold when he was stopped by someone. "I'm sorry, Prince Chi, my master has no time to see guests." "I have something important to discuss with my uncle." "The prince is busy at the moment. If Prince Chi really has something important to do, he can wait here for a while, but I cannot guarantee that the prince will be able to see my prince today." "It doesn't matter, I can wait." He must meet his uncle, the Prince of Jin, today. No matter how long it takes, he can wait. Long Chi'an walked to a pavilion not far away and sat down. The pavilion was windy on all sides, and the stone bench became increasingly cold when he sat on it. He coughed from time to time. Shadow Five and Shadow Seven stood on his left and right, hoping to help block some of the cold wind. "Your Majesty, do you really have to see Prince Jin today?" Ying Wu asked, "We can come later." "Yes, Your Majesty, the cold weather is not good for your illness." Ying Qi also said. "Only by waiting like this can we show our sincerity." After Long Chi'an finished speaking, he coughed again. - In the palace, the second prince thought of a relatively negligible crime and went straight into the imperial study.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!" The second prince knelt down properly and bowed deeply. The emperor was quite surprised to see him like this: "What's the matter?" "I am guilty. Although I have been able to eat these days, I still feel guilty. I thought about it all night and decided to come to my father today to apologize." The emperor lowered his head and continued to review the memorials. He asked calmly, "What crime have you committed?" The second prince said honestly, "Before the hunting ground, I ordered my men to feed croton seeds to many horses, hoping to win the title by catching a bear so that the emperor would praise me. I didn't expect that the horses did have diarrhea after all the tricks I did, but I failed to catch the bear, and the prince still snatched it away." The emperor snorted coldly: "You are honest." The second prince said in fear and trepidation: "Now I think that if your Majesty rode those horses that had eaten croton, the consequences would be disastrous. Your Majesty, I really deserve to die. Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!" The emperor put down his pen and asked: "Do you really know that you were wrong?" "I really know that I was wrong. I feel very guilty." The emperor nodded and said, "It is rare that you can come here to ask for forgiveness on your own initiative." His arm had recovered as normal, and everything else that happened in the paddock was nothing compared to the bite on his arm. The second prince crouched lower and lower: "Please punish me, father, so that I can feel better." Looking at his "son" kneeling below, at least among his so-called "sons", he was the first one who dared to admit his mistake. In this respect, he is better than the prince. Thinking of this, the emperor said, "Punishment is fine. I have a few books here that talk about what is benevolence and filial piety. Take them back and study them carefully." As he spoke, he raised his hand and asked Eunuch Song to take a few books out of the pile and give them to the Second Prince. "Second Prince, please accept it." The second prince took the book with both hands, thanked him, and then left the imperial study. I casually opened a book and saw a sentence written on the title page: The crown prince should be benevolent and filial, this is the blessing of the world! He closed the book in a hurry, overjoyed. Did his father want to make him the crown prince? He couldn't help laughing, but he laughed silently to prevent anyone from hearing him. Suddenly, he ran into the third prince. "Second brother, is there any good news?" "What good news is there?" The second prince clenched the book tightly. "These books are from father's bookshelf. Why did he give them to you?" The third prince narrowed his eyes. The second prince suddenly had an idea: "Third brother, when dealing with the crown prince in the past, you and I were always on the same line. Now that we have an opportunity, why not cooperate again?" The two went to a secluded corner. The Third Prince lowered his voice and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"To be honest, these books are rewards from my father." "It's amazing that you can get a reward?" Seeing that he was holding a book in his arms that looked like a treasure, the third prince had to lower his posture and said, "Second brother, teach me." The second prince said, "I went to plead guilty today. You were involved in the tampering with the horses in the paddock. But I didn't expose you. I was talking about myself. Not only did my father not blame me, he even rewarded me." "I understand." The third prince smiled. "At that time, our people, as well as the prince's people, were all doing something. We discovered each other, so we didn't expose each other." After that, he bowed deeply to the Second Prince: "Thank you, Second Brother!" After expressing his gratitude, the third prince also went to the imperial study. As soon as he entered the imperial study, he knelt down at the emperor's knees and hugged the emperor's legs. The emperor was standing and stretching his muscles. He almost staggered when he was hugged by him. Eunuch Song quickly supported him. "Oh, Third Prince, what are you doing?" The Third Prince said sadly, "Father, I just ran into my second brother and he scolded me. He said that it was very difficult for you to raise us, but we only cared about pleasure and rarely considered the country of Dajing." This one sentence showed that he had no intention of competing for the throne, and he also understood how difficult it was for his father. For an emperor who had no children of his own, these words were very moving. He patted his head: "Old Two is a sensible one, and so are you." "No, my second brother is more sensible than me. I have made mistakes. In the paddock, I ordered people to tamper with the horses." The third prince said frankly. He originally thought that the second brother would get a reward. If he described himself in a more deplorable way, the reward might be even bigger. The emperor's temper changes every day and it is difficult for him to grasp it. But today I think this operation was absolutely correct.
