Chapter 71: The Deadly Wedding (1)
Maple red sheets, a total of color and one color.
Yu Chixin sat in the study on the second floor of the stargazing tower, looking out the window. It seems that he has not enjoyed the scenery of the palace for a long time, perhaps because he grew up in this place, everything here seems ordinary, the scenery here no longer attracts him, and there is only one goal left for him to pursue - to become the crown prince and get the throne.
In fact, he didn't set such a goal when he was a child, but really speaking, there would be the idea of competing for power and profit with his brother, or it was influenced by the crown prince.
If it weren't for the prince's framing of the third emperor's brother Wei Chimu eight years ago, his father would have been wary of the three emperors, and he would not have had the idea of pulling the prince's brother down from the throne.
Of course, he was not on Wei Chimu's side, but the prince's behavior made him understand that it turned out that brothers could hurt each other in this way to gain their own interests. And Fang Qi and his mother, Concubine Xiao, were the key figures who fueled his idea.
"The Five Princes. ”
A deep, deep voice disturbed his thoughts. Yu Chixin came back to his senses and looked at the person who had always come, took away some complicated looks in his eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "Mr. Fang, please take a seat." After speaking, he personally poured a cup of tea for Fang Qi.
The stargazing tower is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are few people who usually come, there are four guards on the first floor, usually do not enter the tower, five slaves clean five floors respectively, but they only come at a fixed time every morning, clean the people who clean the bedroom of the national teacher on the third floor, will send breakfast and lunch regularly, the national teacher does not eat at noon, and he does not like to be disturbed, and does not let people serve, so noon passes. In the stargazing tower, there is often only one national teacher, Zichen.
Wei Chixin chose to meet Fang Qi here, naturally because no one disturbed him. It can also prevent the partition wall from having ears.
"Thank you, Fifth Prince. Fang Qi took the tea bowl and said, "I heard Concubine Xiao say that the fifth prince has something to do with the old man? The old man went out of Beijing a few days ago to deal with some things. I just returned to Beijing yesterday. ”
"Yes, Mr. Fang, this palace is looking for you to discuss the matter of the prince's brother and the king of Huai'an. He told the national teacher Zichen that he had joined forces with the king of Huai'an to get rid of the crown prince, and then asked, "Mr. Fang thinks it is more appropriate to act?"
Although he knew that Fang Qi was his own father, he didn't want to recognize him, if he didn't get it right, he and his mother would be doomed!
However, he is also curious about Fang Qi, a person in the rivers and lakes, how did he become the master of his third emperor brother in the first place? and how did he get acquainted with his mother and concubine? After the third emperor brother was snubbed by his father. He actually brought Zichen again, and even made Zichen the national teacher of Yasukuni......
Also, he really wanted to see Fang Qi's true appearance. In the past 20 years, he didn't know that the other party was his biological father, and even what he saw was not his real appearance, which is the saddest part.
"Now that the wedding of King Huai'an is imminent, whether it is the prince or the people of the Shengxing Dynasty and the Ningguo, they will take action. It is not difficult to show favor to the King of Huai'an and Tianji Xing, as long as you use this opportunity to help them. Fang Qi looked at him mildly and said.
The people of the Shengxing Dynasty and the Ning Kingdom will come to snatch the Heavenly Machine Star, Fang Qi's opinion on this point is the same as that of the National Teacher, and Yu Chi Xin then asked again: "Mr. Fang." Then do you think that the wedding of King Huai'an and Tianji Star will be ...... for this king in the future? Will it have an impact?"
He asked the national teacher Zichen about this question a few days ago, but Zichen did not give a direct answer at that time, and only asked him to unite with the king of Huai'an to deal with the crown prince first. And asked him to come to Fang Qi, so at this time he had to ask Fang Qi for the answer to this question.
"The impact is naturally there. But this is by no means a recent matter, and the five princes can rest assured. The old man promised Concubine Xiao to help His Royal Highness ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he would definitely eradicate all the factors that were unfavorable to His Highness, but there were some people who could be used and had to be kept first. "The Stargazing Tower is located in a secluded place in the palace, and no one will disturb it after noon, Fang Qi is quite relieved about Zichen, so he can say nothing about helping the five princes ascend to the throne here.
"What do you mean...... Will King Huai'an and Tianji Xing be eradicated in the future?" Wei Chixin doubted, "But Mr. Fang, isn't King Huai'an your beloved apprentice?" Although he heard from his mother that Fang Qi had asked the killer of Huangquanmen to take the life of King Huai'an, he had lost the most basic trust in anyone since he was a child, and even what his mother said had to be verified by many parties.
"What do the five princes want to confirm?" Fang Qi smiled, and a hint of interest flashed on his inconspicuous face.
"Presumably, you should have known something from the mother of this palace, and this palace will not say more. Yu Chixin said: "This palace wants to know what you think, how you and your mother and concubine laid out this qiē, this palace doesn't want to be played like a monkey, and it doesn't imagine being manipulated like a puppet." ”
Fang Qi was surprised: "How could Your Highness have such an idea? The old man and Concubine Xiao are the most unlikely people in this palace to be unfavorable to you. ”
"Won't it be unfavorable to me? What you have done in the past 20 years, have you never thought that one day if my father finds out, you will kill me! If you want to help me, why did it take 20 years to delay, do you know how tired and miserable my life has been in the past 20 years!"
Since he was suspected of not being his father's biological son at the age of six, although it has been clarified that the rumor-monger has also been executed, his identity in the palace has always been a little delicate.
He always felt that the eyes of others were full of ridicule when they looked at him, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the son that his father valued the most, although this situation has changed in the past few years, since the appearance of the national teacher Zichen......
"Shut up!" Fang Qi shouted angrily and said, "Your father, the emperor, I want to kill Emperor Jinglie easily, but do you know why I don't do that? Yi Qiqi just hopes to make you rightfully ascend to the throne, only if you are named the crown prince, can you be justified, your mother's mother's family is not strong enough to compete with other ministers in the court, so rashly winning the world for you is not only unable to convince the ministers, but also unable to convince the people of the world!"
Wei Chixin opened his mouth, but found that he had no way to refute his words.
"Xin'er, if I could, how would I be willing to endure like this for twenty years. Let your son recognize someone else as his father, and let his beloved woman stay with other men? She is already the identity of Concubine Xiao, and she can only be said to be a creation and a person. It seemed to frighten him. Fang Qi slowed down his tone and said.
"Twenty years ago...... How did you become Master Huai'an?" he had always been curious about this.
"My master was the leader of the martial arts alliance back then, and although he had no close ties with the imperial court, he also knew some ministers of the court, so when Emperor Jinglie proposed to my master to instruct the princes in martial arts, my master sent me here. It's just that among the princes, the second prince and the third prince back then, only the third prince was more suitable for learning his own mental method, so although the prince and the second prince also taught martial arts for a year, they were really included in the door and taught them peerless. There are only three princes. The crown prince and the second prince were later taught martial arts by Emperor Jinglie by another martial artist. ”
Fang Qi paused for a moment and continued: "Because I taught three princes at one time, during that year, I lived in the palace, although I didn't live in the harem, but I could enter and leave the harem freely during the day, so I met Concubine Xiao. She ......"
"That's enough! You don't have to tell me about this. Wei Chixin interrupted him, how did he cheat with his mother, he didn't want to know at all. "Since you have taken King Huai'an into your disciple, he is your disciple, and after twenty years of master-apprentice love, you can really put him to death for me?"
"Mu'er is a good apprentice. He was also a martial arts wizard, but he was too smart, when he was fifteen years old. In addition to his own martial arts, he has also learned 27 unique sects of all sizes on the rivers and lakes. I have learned almost all the martial arts cheats of all sects collected by my grandfather. When it comes to martial arts moves, there are probably only a few people on the rivers and lakes who can beat him. It's just that he is still young, and his internal strength is naturally deficient compared to some martial arts predecessors, but over time, whether he practices internal strength on his own, or gets any help to improve his internal strength by chance, there will be no opponent in the martial arts at that time. Fang Qi lowered his eyes and said, "This is also the most terrifying thing about him......"
"It turns out that you are afraid that he will one day win over you, the master. Yu Chixin sneered.
"Perhaps. Fang Qi said lightly. He didn't actually have this kind of thought in his heart, because he thought that even if Wei Chimu won over him in martial arts, it would not be difficult for him to win by surprise with his knowledge of medical skills and martial arts. What he said was terrible was that Wei Chimu was too smart, and if he didn't solve it first, he would definitely become an obstacle to his son's ascension to the throne.
Although he cherishes his talents, his apprentice is naturally more important than his son.
"Okay, since you have said so, I want to know how to deal with the crown prince after winning over King Huai'an?" Yu Chixin believed his words, because a person who confessed his selfishness would be easier to believe than to say some high-sounding reasons.
"For the time being, you just need to send someone to protect Tianji Xing, don't let the prince's people and the people of the Shengxing Dynasty rob Tianji Xing, I will create evidence that the prince intends to murder King Huai'an and Tianji Xing, and then you will cooperate with me and present the evidence to the emperor." Fang Qi said with a look on his face.
"I see. Glancing at Fang Qi deeply, Wei Chixin said, "You...... This is not your true face, can you let me see your true face?"
Fang Qi smiled slightly, only to see him take out a clay pot from his arms, wipe the medicine in it on his face, there were many wrinkles on the originally intact face, he peeled off the skin along the folds, and the other face appeared in front of Yu Chixin's eyes.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that there was such a clever disguise technique, and there were no flaws.
"Is this your real face?" Wei Chixin was dumbfounded and said sneeringly.
Fang Qi's face was completely different from the ordinary face he had before. Although the person in front of him is a middle-aged man, his face is clear and handsome, and it is not difficult to imagine that he was also a handsome man when he was young, no wonder his mother would ......
Although Emperor Jinglie is also quite handsome, his mother and concubine can't get love from her father, so she goes out of the wall, although he can understand this now, but he still can't agree.
He and Fang Qi, as the mother concubine said, look five points alike, but it is precisely this feminine and white scholar appearance that makes Emperor Jinglie never like him very much, right?
"Father...... I mean, Emperor Jinglie, why did he let his mother concubine take charge of the harem, and after someone suggested that I was not Emperor Jinglie's own son, I never took back the right of my mother to be in charge of the harem?"
"Because your mother's concubine has no power, Emperor Jinglie doesn't have to worry about the harem politics, plus Chunjia is a delicate person, and he gets along well with the concubines in the harem, so it is better for such a person to be in charge of the harem. Fang Qi said bluntly.
"I see. He finally understood, three days later would be the day when King Huai'an would marry Tianji Xing, and it seemed that he should also go to Qilin Villa for a good visit. (To be continued......)
