于(yú )是,秦中凯举起长剑,闭上眼睛,准备将剑刺向儿子的胸膛,就在这一刻,皇(huáng )上派人骑快马(mǎ )送来一(yī )道圣旨。原来皇上(shàng )听说了秦中凯大义灭亲的事,十分感动,念这位老(lǎo )臣劳苦功高,便(biàn )下旨(zhǐ )赦了秦(qín )中凯的独子,但(dàn )死罪好(hǎo )免,活(huó )罪难饶,圣上(shàng )旨(zhǐ )意要(yào )将秦(qín )文囚禁在运河塔楼顶层,让他白日(rì )悔(huǐ )过,夜晚守灯。至于囚禁多长(zhǎng )时间,皇上的意思耐人寻(xún )味:他派人(rén )送来(lái )一把(bǎ )锁(suǒ )和木钥匙,锁用来锁(suǒ )住塔楼大门,钥匙(shí )则交给秦中凯保(bǎo )管,秦中凯可以随(suí )时用(yòng )这把木钥匙打开锁,将(jiāng )儿子放出来,如若(ruò )秦中凯不开锁,秦文就只有等那把锁被风雨锈蚀(shí )烂掉,方可出来。秦中凯(kǎi )捧着皇上赐的木钥匙(shí ),一语不(bú )发,只是落(luò )泪。
