Chapter 60: Success or Failure Is Here
The lake outside the imperial study reflects the moonlight in the sky, and the moon lake is quiet, as if the moon has fallen into the lake, shining brightly.
Then another gust of wind swept by, and the lake rippled. It was King Ying passing by.
As soon as he entered the imperial study, he knelt down with his fists clenched: "Erchen greets my father." β
The emperor sat still, not even looking at him, and closed his eyes and asked, "Do you know why I suddenly summoned you to the palace?" β
"The son doesn't know, and he asks his father to make it clear. β
The emperor frowned, opened his eyes and glared at King Ying, "You want to seize the heir, and frame the prince to rebel." And now he is disrespectful and trying to usurp the throne and rebel, don't you know?"
King Ying immediately denied it, and said resolutely: "The son is wronged, and the son doesn't know whose rumors his father has listened to, but the son has no such intention!"
The emperor was suffocated, slapped the armrest of the dragon chair, got up and walked down. He held a book in one hand, grabbed King Ying's collar with the other, and dragged him to the door, so that King Ying had to follow him on his knees.
Then the emperor threw him away, pointed to a white star hanging high next to the moon in anger, and said, "See for yourself, why does the sky say that you want to rebel!"
King Ying looked up and saw that the star was very large, much brighter than the moon.
"The son can't understand it, please make it clear to my father. β
The emperor was furious, threw the piece away, smashed it on King Ying's face, and shouted: "The Tai Bai Star hangs high on the side of the sun and moon for several months, and the heavens say that you want to rebel!
King Ying picked up the piece and unfolded it to take a look, and he was shocked when he landed, it was the will of heaven...... So......
"Just because of this unfounded sign, the father and the emperor believe that the son wants to rebel, and he should punish the son and son?"
He had already made up his mind, and at this time he was just making a show to delay for some time, but now, he really wanted to know if the emperor would really punish him because of the so-called providence?
"Then you say!" the emperor was a little out of control, even a little hysterical, he pulled King Ying's collar and dragged him out, pointing to the star on the edge of the moon, "You have a good look! You see! You say! Why does the sky say that you want to rebel!" There is no trace of the majesty of the past.
"Father, if there is a vision in the sky, why do you suspect that your son wants to rebel?"
Even though he was so pulled by the emperor, King Ying's face did not change, he raised his head and looked at the emperor, and asked: "Since ancient times, there have been visions in the sky, shouldn't the king give an edict to respect the heavens?"
"You, you bastard!" the emperor was furious, and the king of Ying, who was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, kicked the king away, and angrily reprimanded, "You have now eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard!"
The emperor then came up again and grabbed King Ying's collar, but King Ying grabbed his wrist, and the father and son looked at each other.
The emperor gritted his teeth: "You, you are so bold!"
"Father!" King Ying raised his voice, which shocked the emperor involuntarily.
King Ying glared at the emperor, pulled the emperor's hand on his shirt, broke it one by one, and said with a solemn face: "The bear-hearted leopard has never eaten it, but the son once ate a bowl of soup fed by his father himself during his recuperation, and he dared to ask his father what was in that bowl of soup?"
The emperor's eyes widened, he never expected King Ying to know.
"You, how did you ......"
"Father. Before the emperor could speak, King Ying interrupted him, "Do you know who saved the son?"
He slowly rose from the ground, no longer kneeling. His tall and burly figure was nearly a shoulder tall above the aging emperor.
"It's the Prince. He glared at the emperor with a cold gaze, "In order to protect the crown prince, you did not hesitate to pretend to favor me and make me the target of public criticism." But father, you may not know that maybe the current crown prince is not your son. β
The emperor pointed at King Ying's nose and scolded: "You are talking nonsense!" was about to fight, but King Ying grabbed his hand and broke it only with a little force, and the emperor's hand was dislocated with a crisp sound.
"Don't you believe in the will of heaven?" King Ying's eyes like jackals, tigers and leopards shone with a fierce light in the moonlight, "It's the will of heaven, on the night of the banquet in the East Palace, Erchen was not poisoned, but what happened to the prince, Erchen can't say." β
"Y-What do you mean?" the emperor couldn't believe it, "what happened to the crown prince?!"
"I'm going to ask your third son!" King Ying was ruthless, and the strength in his hand became a little heavier, and the emperor couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Father, you summoned your sons, why do you still arrange secret guards around you, why do you still arrange for the imperial history and counselors to hide behind the scenes?"
King Ying grabbed the emperor's hand, and the tighter and tighter he gritted, so painful that the emperor bared his teeth and scolded: "Rebel!
But no matter how much he shouted, there was no response.
King Ying dragged the emperor and made him turn around and look at the palace, where there were corpses of men in black all over the ground, all of whom were guarded by the emperor.
And next to the corpses of those men in black, there were still three or four living men in black, and they immediately ripped off the masked black cloth on their faces, revealing familiar faces.
"Father, you will ambush, and your sons will also ambush. King Ying stared at the emperor with a cold gaze.
He continued to ask in a fierce tone: "Father, did you already think about it when you summoned your sons into the palace, and if you force your sons to ask anything, you will immediately order your sons to be killed?"
As he spoke, he casually raised his hand, and the screen standing around the imperial study was suddenly kicked away. When he arrived, rows of ministers appeared.
These are the imperial historians and officials who have been hiding and waiting for a long time, but they all have swords on their necks at this time.
They trembled, and no one dared to move, because behind them, they were all soldiers dressed in black armor and black armor with shackles behind them.
These are all soldiers under King Ying's tent!
King Ying stood up, snatched a booklet from the hand of an imperial historian, scanned the transcript on it, and said, "The son has not done anything, and the father and emperor have already written so many rebellious things?"
He tore up the booklet and crumpled it into a ball of waste paper, threw it away, and said expressionlessly: "Doesn't my father believe in the will of heaven?
The emperor was stunned on the spot, pointed at King Ying, trembled, and said, "Rebel son...... Rebel!
Outside the imperial study, the sky suddenly changed drastically, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the sky suddenly darkened.
In an instant, the wind roared and made a comeback.
The sky seemed to be suddenly splashed with thick ink, and suddenly blackened into a huge black curtain.
Only the white star still shines brightly.
Suddenly, the dark clouds receded, and the white moonlight reappeared, but in the blink of an eye, the blood was gradually soaked in a touch of blood, and in a moment the blood was as red as blood.
The star Platinum, which had been hanging on its side, was quietly approaching until it merged into the moon.
When the star is fully integrated into the Blood Moon, it is like a gradual regurgitation, and as if it is infected, the Blood Moon is gradually lit up again, and the blood color immediately fades and returns to whiteness.
The sky suddenly turned blue and white.
Everyone was horrified by the drastic change in the sky, and even King Ying himself didn't think of it, could it be that this was really what Heaven's will was hinting at?
The emperor trembled and pointed at King Ying and scolded: "Rebel, you are going to be punished by heaven, and heaven will punish you......"
"How could it be? Erchen is obeying the will of heaven, how can God punish Erchen?"
Immediately he threw the emperor to a soldier.
If he hadn't witnessed the change in the sky, he wouldn't have believed that the night had suddenly turned into daylight, and it was only a midday at this time, but it was as white as noon outside.
But now is not the time to lament the change in the sky. Since it has already begun, it cannot be stopped for a moment.
"It's a very good day today, so it's better for my father and the important ministers to go on a cruise to relax. β
"Rebel! You are rebellious! You will be damned! You will be damned!"
With a wave of King Ying's hand, the Xuanjia guards immediately took the emperor, as well as those imperial historians and officials.
......
......
At that time, in the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace, Lin Suqing, King Ping, Liang Wenfu and Chen Shuhua were already drunk, and they were casually discussing strategies to fight the Turks while drinking.
But at this time, in front of the palace gate of the East Palace, a palace maid who had never seen before suddenly came.
She rushed to her place and crashed headfirst into the arms of the guard guarding the door.
"Who?!"
The palace maid was stopped by the guards and said anxiously: "King Ying has participated in the book of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty is now furious, so this matter involves the master of the slave and maid, so he specially came to seek the help of His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The little palace maid was so anxious that she almost cried on the spot.
The guard hurriedly persuaded her: "You wait." Then he glanced at the other guard on duty, who quickly turned his head and hurried into the palace gate to pay homage to the prince.
......
"Your Highness! There is a palace maid outside the door who asks to see her, saying that King Ying has participated in His Royal Highness's book. Matters. The guard said truthfully.
Lin Suqing was surprisedβKing Ying was a copy of me at this time, so he asked, "Did the palace maid say anything about King Ying's involvement?"
"No, I didn't. The guard replied, "It is related to her master." β
"Bring it in. After instructing the guards, Lin Suqing was puzzled, "It's all come to this point, what else can King Ying do with me?"
Liang Wenfu stroked his long beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, King Ying has always been ruthless and cunning, and he should not be taken lightly. β
"I know. β
After a while, the guards brought the palace maid in, and as soon as the palace maid saw Lin Suqing, she knelt down ten steps away from the door of the study, and knelt all the way forward, crying pear blossoms and rain.
Lin Suqing couldn't help it, got up in a hurry, and when she saw her kneeling outside the door, she asked her, "What's wrong?" β
The palace maid sobbed, wept like rain, hid her face and said, "Your Highness, please save my master." His Royal Highness King Ying complained in front of His Majesty, but my master is innocent. β
Lin Suqing hurriedly asked her: "What did he sue?" Don't worry, you can tell her in detail. β
"Your Highness, King Ying, he said...... He said...... "The palace maid was anxious, she just opened her mouth, but it was difficult to speak, she was reserved for a long time, and she couldn't open her mouth."
When King Ping saw that she was struggling, he immediately became angry and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"
The palace maid looked forward and backward and couldn't speak.
After all, I heard that the matter of King Ying's participation was also related to the prince, she was so cowardly that even Chen Shuhua couldn't stand it, and hurriedly urged: "Girl, if you have something to do, you just say it." The more you hesitate, the more you delay your business, don't you say?"
The palace maid thought about it, and finally made up her mind, and said, "He said...... He said that His Highness exterminated humanity, with my master, with my master...... Fornication!" blushed as he spoke.
"What?!"
Lin Suqing's heart suddenly felt like 10,000 alpacas galloping by, isn't this what this real prince has done?!
He immediately turned his head to look at King Ping and them, who were also shocked, obviously unaware. Then they would look at Lin Suqing, and their eyes seemed to be questioning-"Have you ever done such a thing?"
"Nonsense!" Lin Suqing immediately denied, "This palace is full of righteousness! How could he do such a rebellious and unethical thing!"
Suddenly, Lin Suqing noticed that she was suspicious, and said: "Has your master ever done such a thing, doesn't she defend herself?"
When the palace maid heard this, she cried breathlessly on the spot, and said: "The master of the slave and maid explained, but His Majesty didn't listen to it and didn't believe it. β
As she spoke, she knelt forward and grabbed Lin Suqing's trouser leg, and begged bitterly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent someone to pass on His Highness to enter the palace to confront him, and the slave and maid estimate that the touch is about to arrive, Your Highness, the slave and maid beg you, help the slave and the maid master to speak! The slave and the maid have really not done anything unscrupulous." Your Highness, I beg you, slave and maid, I beg you......"
The palace maid kept kowtowing, and when she raised it again, her forehead was already a blur of flesh and blood.
This matter involves the prince himself, and it is no longer considered to help anyone or not, the prince must make it clear!
Lin Suqing was about to tell the palace maid to get up, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that the guards who had reported the news hurriedly rushed straight over.
"Your Highness!" the guards reported, "Your Majesty urgently summons His Highness to the palace to face the saint!"
As soon as the palace maid heard that the summons was coming, she kowtowed frantically, for fear that the prince would not help.
"Your Highness, please, please save the master of the slave and maid, please, please, Your Highness......"
"You get up first. Lin Suqing called her up, but she didn't follow, and continued to kowtow and continue to beg.
Lin Suqing went to help her in person, she simply hugged Lin Suqing's legs, crying and begging him: "Your Highness, please." β
Lin Suqing was helpless, and King Ping hurriedly went to help pull it away, but the palace maid just couldn't get up.
There was really no way, Lin Suqing immediately drank: "Get up!"
