Chapter 237
The Sixth Prince watched Chen Anzheng go away, sighed deeply, and led his people back to the city.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Shen Qiujun waiting at the second door holding his son's hand. The sixth prince couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to greet him.
Shen Qiujun also smiled and walked a few steps forward, greeted the sixth prince into the courtyard, and smiled at the sixth prince: "Just let them go like this, what kind of storm will come to greet us when we return to the capital?" But no matter what, our family will face it together."
The Sixth Prince hugged Shen Qiujun tightly and said, "Yes, no matter what happens in the future, we will be together. It's time for me to let go of everything in the past. From now on, I will only focus on living a good life with you."
General Zheng and others also soon learned that the sixth prince let Chen Anzheng go. Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable. Because the matter was so important, they did not dare to hide it and reported it to the truth.
The emperor was displeased upon hearing this and immediately ordered the sixth prince to return to the capital quickly, and ordered General Zheng and others to pay close attention to the movements of Concubine Rong, mother and son.
The Sixth Prince and Shen Qiujun had already prepared in their hearts. After receiving the emperor's order, they hurriedly packed their luggage and prepared to return to the capital. However, Madam Zhu and others were reluctant to give up and actually prepared several banquets for Shen Qiujun's farewell party.
Shen Qiujun was also quite reluctant to give up. He had become accustomed to living here in the past few years. He really didn't know if he could still adapt to the life in the capital where he had to be cautious at all times. However, the thought of seeing his parents and relatives made him feel a little better. Jing's joyful yearning.
Brother Song was very happy. The capital was a very new place for him, and because the Sixth Prince was thinking about Concubine Rong and his son, he would inevitably be annoyed by the Emperor when he returned to the capital. At this time, he was not in a hurry. On the way, we checked into the hotel before the sun had set, and we didn't hit the road until three o'clock in the morning. So Brother Song excitedly stood in front of the car window every day to look at the different scenery outside.
Shen Qiujun was a little worried, fearing that this would anger the emperor even more. The sixth prince didn't care: "Killing can only be done with a nod of the head. How can I say that my merits and demerits are equal to each other, can he still kill me? That's because relatives will hate enemies quickly. The most he can do is scold me and think about it at home. I'm not that stupid. I traveled day and night just to get scolded, and now he's angry again. It's better for our family to have some fun on the road. It’s worth getting scolded when I go back.”
Shen Qiujun thought for a while and thought it made sense. He said with a smile: "The way we are going, I'm afraid that when General Zheng takes over the aftermath and moves back to the court, we haven't arrived in the capital yet. Maybe the emperor is happy because of this great victory. , don’t worry about it anymore. Take it lightly and let it go.”
The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "I hope so."
Seeing Brother Song holding open the window and looking out at the scenery, Shen Qiujun was teasing him softly on the side. The mother and son were laughing and joking for a while, which made the sixth prince feel itchy, so he rode beside the car and talked to Shen through the curtain. While Qiu Jun was talking, she felt that it was not enough, so she abandoned her horse and squeezed into the car with her mother and son.
Shen Qiujun knew that her husband never cared about other people's opinions. She was not surprised to see him lounging in the car every day. She was happy to play with his son with him.
When the sixth prince was in a good mood, he would tease his son for a while, but most of the time, he would just watch her mother and son play from the sidelines.
On this day, he watched for a while and occasionally said something, but was perfunctory by Shen Qiujun, who was devoted to taking care of his son. He became jealous and said in a sour voice: "Since the day he was born, I feel that It's not like our flesh and blood. Looking at it these days, there are indeed some problems. You see, he is stupid and not clever at all. You and I are both smart, but he looks like this. He can't really be mistaken. Bar."
Shen Qiujun rolled his eyes at him and said: "What are you talking about? Is there anyone who can bury his own son like this? You were sitting outside at the time. Did you change it? Don't you know it in your heart? I think he is very smart, but on the surface he is stupid. What a cute fool. Besides, he doesn’t need to take the exam. He won’t be able to run away as a prince in the future. What’s wrong with being honest and honest? Being too smart can attract people’s attention. Don’t you know that my son is as wise as a fool? His father used to be so sharp that he attracted people's hatred, so he is a hundred times smarter. If you really don't want to see him, just go out and stay out of sight."
The Sixth Prince smiled coquettishly and said: "When I was as old as him, I could recognize a lot of Chinese characters. You see, he can't speak well now. Taking such a son out will really ruin my past. Prestige."
Seeing him like this, Shen Qiujun was relieved. Just now she mentioned the sixth prince's past, but it was actually just a deliberate attempt to test. Now it seems that if he put down the grudge against Concubine Rong and her son as he said that day, she really feels for him. Be happy. If a person carries too much hatred and injustice in his heart, he will feel very tired.
Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "You were so smart at a young age. I'm afraid you will never find another one in the world. Talent only depends on God's will. I think Song'er is very good, even if it depends on your opinion." It seems that he is not very outstanding, but he is not as bad as you said. In the future, if he is educated well, can read and practice martial arts, he will not be outstanding, nor will he be worse than other emperors and grandsons."
Seeing her protecting her son like this, the sixth prince could only say: "A loving mother often fails her son. It seems that I will have to put more effort into teaching him in the future. Don't be like the prince who is good at women's hands and mediocre and incompetent."
Shen Qiujun then smiled and said: "Mediocrity and incompetence are nothing. As long as he can listen to others and has no cruelty, he may not be able to be a good emperor in the future. However, your son will really have to be taught carefully by you in the future. When he grows up, After all, the backyard is less knowledgeable. Let me learn from you how to distinguish between good and bad people. Even if you want to be a prince with peace of mind, it is not enough to be too real. The royal family is not an ordinary people's family. There are too many dirty things, so you have to guard against others. Tao, so as not to be sold and count the money for others."
The Sixth Prince said: "No matter how smart a person is, there will be a time when he understands the Tao. Otherwise, there will be no such thing as 'a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot.' If you want to avoid being deceived and keep your family safe, there is only one way." The most effective one: No desire leads to strength. But no one in this world can really achieve this step. They only look at wanting less, wanting more, wanting more, and wanting less."
Shen Qiujun was convinced. She really didn't expect the Sixth Prince to say such words, and she couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Seeing the surprised look on Shen Qiujun's face, the sixth prince smiled and said, "Take me for example. Because I didn't want a good king to be the emperor, I voted for the prince. Because I wanted to avenge the past, I wanted to kill Prince Chen's family. Because of his narrow-mindedness, he gained a bad reputation in the capital. If he didn't have those troublesome things and lived his life properly, a prince would not be able to run away. There would be no need to spend all day scheming and repaying hatred to others. "
Shen Qiujun couldn't help but smile and said: "It was the right thing to come out this time. I didn't expect you to realize. The so-called prodigal son returns with gold. Don't think about the past. Let's go back to the capital and live our lives well. Except for the matter of the wise king, nothing else happened. You can let it all go."
The Sixth Prince also smiled and said: "The prodigal son can't be replaced by gold, but the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. That's what I said. The matter of the wise king cannot be let go, and the matter of Chen Anzheng has yet to be investigated. Those who have offended me are still Don't let anyone go. You don't have to worry, I'm sensible, just follow me and enjoy the happiness."
Shen Qiujun was so angry that he beat the Sixth Prince and said, "You just said that big truth, it turns out you were just playing tricks on me."
The sixth prince begged for mercy with a smile, hugged Shen Qiujun and apologized in a low voice, but squinted at his son who was being ignored by Shen Qiujun, and said to himself: Even if you say nothing, you still want to fight me!
Unfortunately, Brother Song only glanced at his parents blankly, and then started playing with the small objects in front of him. This immediately made the sixth prince's sense of accomplishment much less, and he sighed in his heart: Being strong without desire is really a magic weapon that makes people sick.
Although the Sixth Prince took his time on the road, he finally arrived in the capital before the army came to court.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, the sixth prince and his wife did not dare to return home, and went directly to the palace to see the emperor.
The emperor looked at the sixth prince who was kneeling below and sneered: "In the past few years, my wings have become hardened. Even my words are ignored and I openly resist the will."
The sixth prince argued: "My son did not dare to resist the decree, but Concubine Rong knelt down and begged. Although my son hated her, she was my mother after all. Now that she is in such a state of desolation, my son really could not bear to kill her. Thinking that Dongchen had all returned to Daqi, her mother and son had not done much. Besides, King Chen was killed by Fan people. If he wanted to take revenge in the future, he would also go to look for Fan people, so his son boldly let them go. If his father wanted to Punishment, the son has nothing to say."
The emperor pointed at the sixth prince and scolded: "Don't think that you are my son. I can't bear to kill you if you resist the decree. But because of your previous achievements, I will spare you this time. If Chen Anzheng becomes an enemy of Daqi again, , the old and new accounts will be settled at that time. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be forgiven. You should go back to your home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. When this time is over, I will argue with you."
The sixth prince hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, but the emperor didn't look at him and called for Shen Qiujun, mother and son to come up.
After the two of them kowtowed, the emperor was already smiling and waved to Brother Song: "Come to Grandpa."
Brother Song glanced at his mother and walked slowly to the emperor. The emperor looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Song, have you missed your grandfather during those days outside?"
After hearing this, Shen Qiujun thought to himself: He is quite thick-skinned. He was in the east when he was pregnant with Song'er. Now that it is the first time for grandparents and grandson to meet, they would ask such a question. Song'er thought it was strange.
Brother Song was also confused by the question. He turned back to look at his mother. At this time, Shen Qiujun didn't dare to raise his head to prompt. Brother Song had to turn back, look at his grandfather and shake his head.
