Lu Zhong took the token and came to the Jinyiwei Prison. He walked quickly along the way and saw the prince who was in a daze there.

Seeing Lu Zhong's arrival, the prince hurried over, grabbed Lu Zhong's arm with both hands, and asked: "Master Lu, what is your father's will?"

Lu Zhong nodded. The prince was overjoyed and knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground.

Lu Zhong looked at the prince's appearance and said slowly: "Your Majesty has an intention. The prince's moral character has been corrupted. The following offenders failed to poison the queen mother and failed to assassinate me. They are so audacious. Now they have seized the title of prince, demoted them to common people, and enclosed them in the prince's mansion. They are not allowed to do so."

Go out."

The prince who was kneeling on the ground did not react for a moment. He stood up slowly and looked at Lu Zhong with a blank expression, "Master Lu, did you read it wrong? I have never done these things. Father and son have not

I’ve done it before.”

As he said that, the prince jumped up, grabbed Lu Zhong, and shouted: "It must be you, you blinded my father's eyes, I want to see my father, I want to see my father!"

Lu Zhong waved his sleeves, and the prince was ejected and landed on the ground not far away. The prince roared in pain, then stood up, looking crazy. The guards behind Lu Zhong walked in and escorted the prince out.

.

When the prince saw the Jin Yiwei coming forward, he pointed at all the Jin Yiwei and cursed: "Who of you dares to touch me? I am the prince, I am the crown prince, and the future of the Ming Dynasty belongs to me."

Lu Zhong shook his head helplessly and waved his hands. The Jin Yiwei saw his master's actions and took him away from here regardless of the prince's roar.

Lu Zhong walked out of the room, looked at the prince who was being carried away, sighed slightly, turned around and pushed open the door of another cell. Sitting inside was the king.

Compared to the prince's madness, King Dai was relatively well at this time. He was sitting behind the desk with a brush in his hand, not knowing what he was writing.

"His Royal Highness."

Lu Zhong said hello to King Dai.

Dai Wang nodded slightly, put down the brush in his hand, folded the paper on the table in half, and put it in his hand.

"Is this here to declare a decree?"

Lu Zhong nodded, and the acting king behaved very calmly, which was beyond his expectation.

Dai Wang smiled and said, "It's definitely not good news."

This time, Lu Zhong was even more surprised. He usually underestimated the king who was in charge of the Ming Navy in Yangzhou.

"Why?"

Dai Wang took the paper and replied: "Obviously, if it is good news, Mr. Lu should say congratulations as soon as he comes in."

Lu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "The King is really full of humor."

King Dai laughed at himself and said: "This is the only fun I have now. Lord Lu, please declare the decree."

Lu Zhong tentatively asked, "Why don't I go to His Highness King Zhao first?"

King Dai shook his head and straightened his clothes, "No need, it'll be a matter of time."

Lu Zhong nodded, "You don't have to kneel down on behalf of the king. When you leave the palace, your majesty asked Eunuch Gao to ask me to bring you a message, saying that as long as you hand over the naval talisman, you can return to Yangzhou. Your majesty

Keeping you safe.”

King Dai did not speak, but looked at Lu Zhong with an unusually calm look.

Lu Zhong smiled and said, "If you don't want to, forget it. I just want to ask you to go to Prince Dai's Mansion and stay for a while."

King Dai finally made some noise this time, and handed the paper in his hand to Lu Zhong, "Please Sir Lu, please bring this to my father, and Mr. Lu can give me a message for the second brother, saying that the third brother congratulates the second brother.

If you succeed in seizing the direct descendant, you can have a chance.

Third brother will definitely welcome you when you come to Daiwang Palace."

After that, without waiting for Lu Zhong to order the Jinyi guards to take away King Dai, King Dai walked out of the imperial prison cell without stopping at all.

Lu Zhong squinted his eyes and stared at the departing King Dai. After the conversation just now, Lu Zhong admitted that he had underestimated the King Dai who was quietly developing the navy in Yangzhou.

When King Dai was in Chang'an City, before he became a vassal, he liked to hang out with the literati, drink wine and compose poems, and did not participate in any disputes.

People often know Dai Wang through his poems and songs, and no one can pay attention to Dai Wang's views on government affairs.

But looking at Dai Wang's appearance now, he may really not want to get involved.

After pushing open the door of the cell, King Zhao, who had his back to the cell door and his hands behind his back, slowly turned around and looked at Lu Zhong.

"Master Lu, what are you doing?"

Lu Zhong smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, I am here to invite you to the imperial city. Your Majesty wants to summon you."

King Zhao was a little confused and asked with a frown: "Where are the prince and the third child?"

Lu Zhong shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, they have their own places to go, so don't worry about them."

This sentence is very interesting. It is possible to go anywhere if you have your own place, whether it is to your own mansion or a prison.

King Zhao no longer dwelled on these matters, and walked directly out of the prison cell, looking proud and strolling leisurely, with a smile on his face.

In the imperial city, in the inner hall of Dexin Hall.

"father!"

The emperor sat on a chair, and King Zhao knelt down in front of him. He shouted loudly, but he called the emperor father instead of father.

Hearing this title that he had not heard from anyone for many years, the emperor blinked his eyelids. He had mixed feelings in his heart. He stared at his son kneeling on the ground in front of him. He looked so much like his mother, so much like him. He had the same eyes.

His eyes, with the same expression, showed no trace of hypocrisy, and there was both regret and anxiety in his eyes.

But the emperor knew clearly that the matter in Dexin Palace was planned by the son kneeling in front of him. He was not the mastermind, but he was also one of the important figures.

"Lu Zhong is investigating the truth about the Dexin Palace incident. Do you want to take a look?"

The emperor handed the report that he didn't know when and who collected it to Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi held the report in his hands and came to King Zhao.

King Zhao raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and wanted to reach out to get the report, but at this time, the emperor sat on the chair and hummed softly. King Zhao was so frightened that he retracted his outstretched hand and knelt down tremblingly.

There, he said: "Father, I don't want to see it anymore, I don't want to see it anymore."

The emperor didn't say anything, but asked again: "I ask you two questions, how did you bribe Zhao Ming, and when did you put Yang He in the Prince's Mansion? These two matters, the Internal Affairs Supervisor

None of them were found out.”

Hearing this, Gao Lishi turned around and confessed: "Your Majesty, this old slave is guilty."

The emperor waved his hand and ignored Gao Lishi. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at King Zhao.

The emperor's voice was like rolling thunder, blasting in King Zhao's ears. The emperor glanced at Gao Lishi, who nodded slightly, and his figure flashed, and bursts of painful sounds echoed in the room.

All died, and they were all killed by Gao Lishi in an instant because they heard sounds they shouldn't have heard.

King Zhao looked at the emperor with his mouth open, and said in a trembling tone: "Father, son, son, I don't, I don't know these things."

The emperor laughs

, the laughter was harsh and contemptuous, "Do you really think that I am old and an old fool, and I only know how to hide in the Yuhua Palace and have fun every day, and don't know anything about the things outside?"

"You did a good job in this round. The place and time where things happened were perfect, but you should never modify Jin Yiwei's roster."

"You shouldn't let Yang He confess too quickly, and you shouldn't let Zhao Ming reveal himself so early. Zhao Ming can be used as a hidden chess piece to completely kill the third child."

"You are too impatient. You want to bring down the boss, but you don't want to let the third child go."

King Zhao knelt on the ground, his whole body frozen there. He never expected that his father knew everything.

"You think no one can see that Yang He was caught and then forced to confess through his words and deeds. But who is Lu Zhong? Ji Gang named him as the person who asked him to temporarily take charge of the Jinyiwei. His thoughts were so deep that in the court of the daimyo

Above the court, he is only second to Yang Zhao."

After saying this, the emperor seemed to have exhausted all his energy and energy. With the help of Gao Lishi, he slumped down on the bed and looked at King Zhao kneeling on the ground.

"You are cruel and have the same demeanor as I did back then, but you are too impatient. You should have waited until I was about to die, lying here unable to move, and then you would kill the two of them. At that time I would not

If you are angry, you will feel happy. If I leave the Ming Dynasty in your hands, I will die without regrets."

"I don't dare!"

King Zhao knelt on the ground. Although he did not see his father's expression, those words fell into King Zhao's ears and entered his heart. They pressed there and made King Zhao unable to breathe.

"I still have a few years to live. Don't think that a sick tiger is useless. No matter what a tiger is, he is still a tiger. You can't touch his fangs."

King Zhao gritted his teeth and pressed his hands firmly on the ground. He made a fingerprint on the bluestone on the ground.

"Father, I admit that I did it all. Please punish me, Father."

The emperor, who was sitting on the bed, sighed slightly, looked at his son on the ground, and said helplessly: "What punishment? I am happy for what you have obtained by relying on your own ability, but you have shortcomings that need to be paid attention to."

.”

"Father, son, minister."

The emperor patted the edge of the bed and said, "Come, come here and talk to dad."

King Zhao did not get up, but still knelt there, "Father, I, my son, do not dare."

The emperor cursed angrily: "Come here, can't you talk to your son?"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, King Zhao hurriedly got up, came to the bed, and sat there gently. The emperor looked at his son, gently touched King Zhao's head, and asked, "Do you hate dad?"

King Zhao shook his head, not hating.

The emperor obviously didn't believe it and continued to ask: "Really?"

King Zhao nodded, "I don't hate it."

The emperor grinned and smiled, with relief in his laughter, "Dad, I'm sorry for you, and I'm also sorry for your mother."

King Zhao lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said nothing. The emperor looked at King Zhao and rubbed his head, and said softly: "I know that you hate Yu Niang. I am alive now, so don't touch him."

.”

For the first time, King Zhao lay on the emperor's lap and cried bitterly.

That woman in Yuhua Palace, King Zhao has hated her since the first day she entered the palace. Why did King Zhao do so many things?
