Chapter 19: Who Killed Zhao Tianyi
As the eldest son of Emperor Zhao Xixuan, Zhao Tianyuan has a natural arrogance since he was sensible, he is not convinced, why should that waste named Zhao Tianyi step on his head and become a big brother? Is it because he is a few years older than himself? Why is the little guy named Zhao Tianming so deeply liked by his father, just because he has a high talent in cultivation? But if it is calculated according to the rules of the ancestors, he is the most orthodox heir of this family in this country!
Zhao Tianyuan was not convinced, so he had been locked up in that cold palace all these years, not only studying military books and studying political affairs, but also not delaying his practice.
Yes, the royal family of the Zhao family of the Great Chu State has reached the generation of Tianzi, not only is there such a cultivation genius as Zhao Tianming, but the three sons of Zhao Xixuan, except for the eldest prince Zhao Tianyi, the other two have extremely high cultivation talents.
But unlike Zhao Tianming, Zhao Tianyuan did not show his edge, he chose to silently jump out of this circle, coldly watching you sing and sing in Ying Tiancheng, watching Zhao Tianming and Chen Linci become famous all over the world, watching Zhao Tianyi support the guests for the future road to envelop the hundred officials of the imperial court, watching Zhao Xixuan gradually grow old, and watching Yang Xiudao's soul return to the sea of stars, he has never made any moves.
Maybe only by really jumping out of all this can he see everything clearly, he thought in his heart.
If Wolf Gu hadn't been fallen by Great Elder Chen Xingguang on the Retreat Mountain, and Zhao Tianyuan was also a meteorite master, he would have liked this kid a little more than Sima Zhongda, for no other reason, just because he could endure the fact that ordinary people couldn't bear it, it was enough.
Of course, he has not been idle all these years, and the attitude of the six tribes of Huaihe is a good proof of this.
Now, the two mountains that have been pressing on his head, His Majesty Tianxi and the National Teacher have passed away, and the two deans, Hu Haiyang and Ren Yuxin, will not care about the affairs of the court, so who else in the entire Yingtian City can restrain him, the dragon?
Zhao Tianyuan's heart was very comfortable, and he didn't have even the slightest sense of guilt because of Zhao Tianyi's death.
......
......
The court of the Great Chu State was in chaos.
The first emperor has died in the sky, and the country cannot be left without an owner, but now the national teacher has long returned to the sea of stars, so several cabinet ministers have invited the respected old prince Zhao Xiqing in the Zhao family to preside over the overall situation, and convene a court meeting to decide the new emperor.
But when the little eunuch returned, his face was pale, as if he had lost his soul from a great fright.
The old prince went out of the mountain to preside over the government, and discussed the selection of the new emperor in the future, and all the civil and military officials were naturally present, Zhao Tianyuan and Zhao Tianming had already obediently stood on the golden luan, Zhao Tianyuan was still the gentle and long-sleeved Confucian who was good at dancing, as if he had never done anything dark.
The little eunuch knelt in front of him with a pale face, unable to speak, and at this time everyone could see it
It must have happened something terrible, not to mention that everyone present is an old fox who has experienced countless winds and waves. The old prince Zhao Xiqing immediately asked: "Xiao Mingzi, this king asked you to go to the big and lower councils, why did you run back by yourself, you slave?"
"Back to ...... Back to the words of the prince. Xiao Mingzi replied tremblingly: "Big down...... I'm afraid he won't be able to come!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Mingzi seemed to have thought of something very terrible, and he couldn't control it for a while and cried on top of Jin.
The old prince's face also became a little unpleasant, Xiao Mingzi went to pass on the big and lower discussions, but now that the big and the lower are gone, Xiao Mingzi is crying like this again, that ......
He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so he muttered: "Xiao Mingzi, what happened, tell me quickly, what kind of body is it to cry like this!"
Xiao Mingzi hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, and said tremblingly: "Back to the old prince's words, Xiao Mingzi was ordered to invite the eldest prince to enter the palace, but after entering the Qingwang Mansion, it was empty, Xiao Mingzi could not find the eldest prince, so he had to look for it in the palace, and as a result, in the corridor, a lot of blood stains were found, and there were traces of newly dug soil on the shore of Jiulong Lake, Xiao Mingzi was curious and found a wooden stick to dig down the new soil, and then ......"
Speaking of which, Xiao Mingzi's tears were not held back again, and she burst out and cried.
The old prince Zhao Xiqing stomped his feet anxiously, and hurriedly asked, "Then what?"
"Then, then ......" Xiao Mingzi said sadly, "and then I found the corpse of Daxia under the new soil!"
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked, and the Manchu Dynasty was shocked!
It has only been a few days since the first emperor was mourned, and someone dared to murder the great prince of the Great Chu State in the palace of the capital!
Although his three eldest nephews did not have too much contact and respect for him, he suddenly heard that his imperial brother's son was now murdered in the capital, and the old prince was also very sad at this age, he looked at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground in disbelief, and asked tremblingly: "Xiao Mingzi, there are some words that you can't make up!"
Xiao Mingzi burst into tears, choked up and said: "Old prince, if Xiao Mingzi has a lie, he will teach the sky to thunder!"
The old prince's face was a little pale, he was stunned and didn't speak, the little prince's face was also a little ugly, and he didn't have any sense of brotherhood for his eldest brother, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and now his father has just died, and the eldest brother died in Qingwangfu, and he can't accept this reality in his heart for a while.
Li Erhe and Du Wenqi were poisoned to death in Yingtian City, and then Zhao Tianyi was killed in his palace, Zhao Tianming knew in his heart that all of this would never escape the shadow of his good second brother.
He turned his head meaningfully to look at Zhaotian
Yuan glanced at it and found that the second prince Zhao Tianyuan was also looking at him at this time, and there was something indescribable in his eyes.
Zhao Tianming hurriedly turned his head, but he felt a little awkward in his heart, the smile of the second prince kept surrounding his mind, and he didn't know why, he always felt that something big would happen.
It turned out that he was right.
On the top of the big one, when everyone was in shock and before they could react, the second prince Zhao Tianyuan walked to the center, with grief on his face and tears like rain.
He pointed at Zhao Tianfang's face angrily, ignoring his gentle and elegant image, and asked hysterically: "Third brother, the eldest brother treats you well, why do you do this!"
Zhao Tianming was stunned, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't expect that Zhao Tianyuan would suddenly play such a hand, at this moment when he was stunned, Zhao Tianyuan continued to scold: "Everyone knows that you Zhao Tianzong is a genius and the most powerful successor to the throne, why are you so anxious to kill your eldest brother, are you afraid that he will rob you of the throne?"
As soon as these words came out, it was a sentence of heart, Zhao Tianming also calmed down, looked at the second prince Zhao Tianyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, don't you think you are playing this trick too badly?"
"Rotten?" Zhao Tianyuan's eyes were full of tears, and he said sadly: "The entire Chu State knows that the eldest brother wants to be the future emperor of the Chu State, and you Zhao Tianming also wants to, so after your father died, you began to pave the way for your own ascension to the throne, and now I pointed it out, you are still so calm, it seems that your father's vision is really not wrong, you Zhao Tianming can be so severe, you are worthy of being the best candidate to be the emperor!"
"Tian Yuan is presumptuous!" The old prince Zhao Xiqing on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he said coldly: "Heaven's will was murdered, and you have no evidence to say that it must have been done by Heaven's destiny, and it is too much to say these words." ”
"Uncle Huang!" Zhao Tianyuan said sadly and angrily: "At this juncture, the eldest brother and Li Du died tragically in the capital one after another, and a clear-eyed person can see some clues, should nothing have happened to your old man?"
"My good second brother!" Zhao Tianming finally stood up, looked at Zhao Tianyuan's eyes coldly, and said calmly: "My father died, leaving only the eldest brother and you and I three heirs, logically speaking, if the eldest brother dies because of this dragon chair, then you Zhao Tianyuan can't escape the involvement, why do you blame all the troubles on me for the reason of taking the heir?"
At this time, Qi Hanliang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and said in a deep voice: "The second is not interested in state affairs, he has been studying behind closed doors, and he rarely even interacts with people in the court, which is a recognized fact in the world. ”
Zhao Tianming laughed angrily, and said in a cold voice: "If this second brother of mine really has no contact with the people in the court at all, with your cautious son Qi Hanliang, at this moment, on this golden luan, will you dare to come out and be this bird to contradict this king?"
even
Han Liang was angry, but he was broken by Zhao Tian's words, although he was the secretary of the military department, but the military of the Great Chu State only listened to the words of the first emperor and the general, he was no different from a puppet, so he has always been cautious in doing things, and did not dare to offend others, and now he was overwhelmed by the little prince Zhao Tianming in terms of momentum, so he silently did not dare to speak out.
Zhao Tianyuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked in front of Zhao Tianming, and said angrily: "You, the wild seed of the Qingqiu royal family, actually killed the eldest brother ruthlessly, and you still want to pour the disaster water on my Zhao Tianyuan, do you really want to change the country name of Da Chu to Qingqiu?"
