025 Clash of Kings
Xiao Xiao spread her hands, "Since you deliberately threw it to them, why don't you throw it to me as well, save me and my uncle every time we want to spend money, it's so troublesome!" Before he finished speaking, Ruthless had already placed two ingots of silver in Xiao Xiao's hand. It was the first time Xiao Xiao saw a real silver ingot when he was so big, and it was really not light to put such a big ingot in his hand, so he was stunned and said, "Why are you so rich?" ”
The old naughty boy grabbed Xiao Xiao's wrist and said with a hippie smile, "Hehe, female doll, do you want to hear a story?" I'll tell you, I like to listen to stories and tell stories! ”
The old naughty boy spoke amazingly, he liked to exaggerate, he said a few words ruthlessly and corrected a sentence for him, combined with the words of the two people, Xiao Xiao also understood the reason.
It turns out that the current emperor ranks third among the brothers, and his mother is the queen of the year who gave birth to three sons, the eldest prince Quan, the third prince Chun, the ninth emperor Ziping, the boss is loyal but cowardly, and the old nine love wine, only the old three years are studious and ambitious.
And the emperor Lao Tzu's favorite wife was not the queen but the concubine, and the favorite son was not from the queen, but the son of the concubine, Zhong, the second in line, although he was not the smartest among the brothers, but he was the most filial and understood the emperor's mind.
The emperor wanted to change Lizhong to the crown prince several times, but the ancestors had no choice but to stipulate that the eldest son was the crown prince, and the abolition of the heir was afraid of fratricide and civil strife in the court, so it has not been changed.
Who knew that the crown prince had a serious illness at the age of twenty-two, and since then he can't afford to be sick, and he can only rely on medicine to maintain his life, and he can no longer take on the big responsibility, so the matter of changing the prince has become a matter of course.
The court is divided into two factions, one agrees with the emperor to set up the second prince as the prince, because it ranks second, now the boss can not be the prince, according to the order of the eldest and youngest, of course, the second prince is the emperor, and the second prince is loyal and simple, approachable, will be able to understand the people's suffering, is a good emperor respected by all the people.
The other faction agrees that the emperor appoints the three princes as the crown princes, believing that the three princes are born to the queen, and the emperor should also be the children of the emperor and the empress.
Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, of course, the old emperor knew that the third son of Lu Dao was better than the second son, and he could become a generation of Ming monarchs and achieve great achievements, but he also knew that if the third prince was made the emperor, the concubine and the second son Zhong would definitely die, and the third son was too shrewd, and this kind of shrewdness has always been unappreciated by the old emperor.
After thinking about it for three months, the old emperor announced to the ministers that the second prince would be the crown prince.
The queen was naturally extremely dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, and she had to pretend to be aware of the righteousness, and encouraged Zhong to be diligent in political affairs and more aware of the people's suffering, but she secretly wooed the powerful ministers in the court and the eunuchs and guards around the emperor, and later even the imperial doctor obeyed the queen's orders.
The second prince is loyal and loyal, and his mother is also kind and virtuous, seeing that the queen and the third prince are so well aware of righteousness and still praise in their hearts, they are not wary at all. In this way, the second prince Zizhong has been the prince for three years and has dreamed of being an emperor for three years, but who knows that when the first emperor died and announced the holy decree, it was not the prince Zhong who succeeded him, but the third prince Chun.
Concubine Shu and Prince Zhong were unexpected, Concubine Shu was weak all the year round, and the death of the emperor had hit her very hard, plus her son had been the prince for three years but was not the heir to the throne, Concubine Shu's heart ached, she only felt hot in her chest, salty throat, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and followed the emperor.
The world speculated that the third prince Chun added the word two of the second prince to three, but during the three years of loyal to the prince, the queen and the third prince Chun did a lot of work, and at that time the court was the third prince's henchmen, and no one spoke for the second prince at all, not to mention that the holy decree was in front of him, and questioning was disrespectful to the first emperor.
Although the common people all over the world have more or less guessed something, in their hearts, whoever is the emperor is the same, anyway, they are not the emperor, as long as it is a good emperor, it doesn't matter if he is the second or the third, even if he is the oldest, they don't care, and they don't dare to say a doubtful word.
The second prince Zhong saw that the wood had become a boat, not to mention that he was weak and could not save anything, leaving Qingshan in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, so he was the first to kneel to the emperor and shouted "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Seeing that the second prince had already surrendered, everyone knelt down one after another and shouted Long live the emperor.
After the third prince Chun succeeded to the throne, in order to show the world and show how benevolent he was, not only did he not harm Zhongzhong, but also named Zhong Zhong as the king of loyalty, rewarded the house and the land, and everyone in the world praised the emperor. Although he doesn't do anything on the surface, the existence of loyalty has always been a stone in his heart, and as long as King Zhongyi does not die for a day, he will not be able to sleep peacefully.
It was calm for a year, a late autumn evening a year later, the king of Zhongyi drank wine from his friends and returned to the palace, and a group of masked people killed him halfway through, and took people's lives without asking or talking about the moves.
However, these people who carried out the assassination were obviously not idle people, and after hundreds of rounds of fighting, both sides were killed and wounded, but there were many assassins, and the guards led by the queen prince all died under the assassin's sword, and there were still five survivors on the assassin's side.
Seeing that the assassin was approaching the King of Loyalty step by step, the blade of the sword pointed directly at the King of Loyalty, at this critical moment Zhuang Fanjing appeared, Zhuang Fanjing was already an invincible opponent in the world, but he had not yet met his beloved wife Xiao Xiao, young and vigorous, and liked to fight with people, he had been watching the battle for a while, and felt that these assassins were extraordinary opponents who could compete with each other, and his appearance was not to save people's lives, but to compete with others.
Zhuang Fanjing just competed with them, and didn't want to seriously hurt them, but their swords and swords were pointed at Zhuang Fanjing's vital point, Zhuang Fanjing's impatience was lost, so he also turned red, and fought for hundreds of rounds, five people were defeated under Zhuang Fanjing's iron-blooded sword, Zhuang Fanjing did not kill them, but these assassins saw that it was impossible to kill the king of Zhongyi when they met a master, since they could not complete the task, they would die when they went back, and they would also affect the family, so they raised their swords and committed suicide.
Although Zhuang Fanjing was strange in her heart, she didn't like to ask more, the fight was over, and she won the victory, so she turned around and was about to leave, when she was dragged by the sleeve of the Zhongyi King, and told Zhuang Fanjing that she was the Zhongyi King, and asked Zhuang Fanjing to send herself back to the palace, and promised to give Zhuang Fanjing ten thousand taels of gold.
Zhuang Fanjing has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and does not ask for money, but he knows that the money of the Zhongyi King is given by the emperor, and the emperor's money is nothing more than looted from the people, so he did not refuse, sent the Zhongyi King back to the palace, and received the money from the Zhongyi King.
Although King Zhongyi didn't see the faces of those assassins, and he didn't ask who instigated them, he also knew that there was only one person in the world who wanted to die the most!
