Chapter 393: Life and Death
After escorting King Fenyang down, Liu Yuan asked, "Then what is the plan of the young master next?"
The king of Fenyang suddenly took the initiative to send it to the door, which was really unexpected by them, and the original plan should probably be adjusted accordingly.
Xiao Ji frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and ordered: "First send people, find out the details of Li Fengxian, and be sure to pull out his strongholds and manpower in Beijing one by one."
As for the rest, let's go ahead with the original plan for the time being. ”
When he was sleepy and met a pillow, he had to ponder and ponder it carefully to see how to use Li Fengxian, who was sent to the door, to walk in front of people openly and honestly, and confront Emperor Longqing.
Liu Yuan took the order and left.
Xiao Ji was secretly preparing, but Emperor Longqing, as an opponent, was anxious at this time.
The fact that the crown prince Xiao Ji was imprisoned in the East Palace because of his righteous words caused great turmoil in the court.
The superior is so cold, as long as he is not a courtier who is loyal to Emperor Longqing, he will inevitably have other thoughts at this time.
In addition to the crown prince Xiao Ji, the other princes who are willing to compete for the throne have already been discounted by Emperor Longqing because of Empress Yang's operation.
For a while, Emperor Longqing and Xiao Ji's father and son had a sharp confrontation.
The throne and son are not a difficult choice for Emperor Longqing - his son is without Xiao Ji, there are others, and even he can take a few more concubines to give birth to a few younger and more well-behaved and obedient ones.
But the throne is different.
At this time, if he was forced to get off the dragon chair, there would be people waiting for his life.
But this matter is difficult, Xiao Ji has always had a good name, and this time he was punished for the courtiers' righteous speech, if Emperor Longqing really deprived him of the position of prince at this time, it would inevitably be turbulent in the court, and the throne would not be guaranteed.
Emperor Longqing didn't expect that he had been planning for so many years, and the corpses and mountains of blood had broken through, but in the end he almost folded in the hands of his son, so he was naturally angry.
As a monarch's father, he is not good at doing something to his innocent heir, but what if Xiao Ji himself is not angry, or his fate is not good, he is disabled, or even dead......
Emperor Longqing had a certain idea, and immediately began to prepare.
However, since Xiao Ji dared to confront him in court, how could he be defenseless?
So when Xiao Ji broke through his confinement under the protection of the guards and rushed to the palace with a familiar little chamberlain, Emperor Longqing immediately stood up in shock.
Of course he knows this little chamberlain!
It was the little eunuch who Su Zhigao had just recommended to him not long ago who sneaked to the East Palace to quietly abolish Xiao Ji!
Emperor Longqing was shocked and hurriedly looked at Su Zhigao beside him.
However, Su Zhigao's expression was still the same, as if he hadn't seen his silent questioning at all.
In an instant, Emperor Longqing understood - this imperial city had long been controlled by Xiao Ji, a rebel!
But when did this happen?
How could he not have found any traces before?
In addition to Su Zhigao, who else is Xiao Ji's people around him?
……
In an instant, Emperor Longqing's heart was rolling.
Things have come to this point, and the next thing is naturally to be staged one by one according to Xiao Ji's prior arrangement.
Xiao Ji was indignant and accused the little chamberlain of using his hands and feet in his meal, intending to murder the prince of a country, the crime cannot be punished, and Emperor Longqing was asked to personally punish him severely, so as to set an example and uphold the power of heaven.
When the little servant saw Emperor Longqing, he thought he had grasped the straw that saved his life, and immediately shouted "help", and in a few words, he betrayed Emperor Longqing, the mastermind.
Immediately, the courtiers were shocked, and the court was in turmoil.
The king of a country is going to secretly murder his life because the prince is in court for the courtiers, and the word "vicious" is no longer enough to describe his madness, which is simply corrupting people's ethics and violating the principles of heaven!
Xiao Ji was killed with one move, but Emperor Longqing naturally refused to sit still, and without waiting for the little chamberlain to finish explaining, he immediately ordered someone to be killed as a court staff, in a vain attempt to kill people before the gaffe expanded.
Of course, Xiao Ji would not let Emperor Longqing destroy the corpse, his expression was sad and indignant, and he insisted on a thorough investigation, not allowing the little chamberlain to slander the Holy Monarch and destroy the relationship between father and son.
This is not only the courtiers who support Xiao Ji, but also those die-hard people of Emperor Longqing, seeing that Emperor Longqing is so cold and can even poison his own son, he has long been cowardly, so he quietly chose to acquiesce to Xiao Ji's proposal.
Xiao Ji once gained power, but he did not take the opportunity to directly oust the immoral Emperor Longqing from the throne, but Emperor Longqing could no longer continue to control his fate, and he also took the opportunity to gain a good reputation of "filial piety and virtuousness".
After retiring from the dynasty, Emperor Longqing looked at the empty hall and suddenly burst out laughing madly.
Xiao Ji, who was standing at His Royal Highness, looked at Emperor Longqing, who was laughing maniacally, with a solemn and cold face, and there was no sympathy.
If before this, he still had a trace of illusion about Emperor Longqing, then when Emperor Longqing sent a small chamberlain to poison him, the only remaining trace of father-son love was also extinguished.
Turning his head and glancing at Su Zhigao, the latter immediately led the palace maid out with a knowing interest.
Emperor Longqing saw this situation in his eyes, and was so angry that he was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.
"I didn't expect that I would calculate my life and win the first emperor, the king of Jin, and Li Fengxian...... But in the end, it's all about making wedding clothes for you...... You are really my 'good son'!" Emperor Longqing's face was angry and sad, and he said continuously, "Good! good! Good is better than blue, and 'evil calculation' is better than ...... father!"
Xiao Ji's face was grim, his eyes were sad, he looked at Emperor Longqing, who had collapsed on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice: "Make wedding clothes for your sons? Father, is it wrong? How have you ever thought about your sons? You killed the first emperor and ascended the throne; you killed the king of Jin and framed him for rebellion...... Which one was done for the sake of his sons?
"Not to mention sending someone to poison the retainers!
"In the heart of the father, in addition to the dragon chair, have there ever been sons, mothers, subjects, and the rivers and mountains of this beam?!"
"That's really good?" Emperor Longqing sneered and mocked, "You have been thinking about it for a long time! You are powerful, even more powerful than Li Fengxian! Li Fengxian is just besieging the palace, but you have turned the entire imperial city into your own! You are amazing!
"Next, are you ready to be the emperor of the beams yourself?ah?!"
Xiao Ji's face was solemn, as if he didn't understand the ridicule in Emperor Longqing's words, and said slowly: "If my father feels that the Spring and Autumn Period is getting higher and more embarrassing, my son is willing to serve my father, take on the heavy responsibility for my father, and protect my Liang Sheji." ”
