Chapter 124: Private Soldiers

Regarding the emperor's practice of playing fifty boards each for the queen and Concubine Zhong, everyone has long expected it. The two families www.biquge.info of Zhong and Qin have long been ingrained in Great Xia, and they cannot be uprooted overnight. After all, it is not a trivial matter to abolish the queen, and it is understandable that the queen was confiscated and grounded. But Concubine Zhong plotted to kill the emperor's heir, but she was only demoted by the emperor by one level, and she didn't give her death, not even entering the cold palace. Could it be that the emperor took care of the Zhong and Qin families outside the palace?

Song Zizhou smiled sarcastically, the emperor has done this, and he has been restrained by the two ministers, and his father is really enough.

Song Ziming heard about the demotion of his mother, and smashed the tea bowl in his hand angrily, "There is more than enough success!" Tell me not to act rashly for the time being. ”

At this time, Song Ziming didn't know that he had already attracted the special attention of Emperor Jingxiao.

"According to what you say, Lu Ming's money has been handed over to the third child?" Emperor Jing Xiao looked at the fold in his hand, put it on the table, and raised his eyes to look at Ming Hai.

"No, my subordinates don't think so." Ming Hai still stood with his head down.

The emperor leaned back, looked at him, and motioned for him to continue.

"Although the third prince spends a lot of money, he is still within his fortune, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. It's just that the eldest prince has been out of the palace for many years, but he doesn't see any large expenses on weekdays, and the minister feels very strange. ”

Emperor Jing Xiao squinted his eyes thoughtfully, the boss had always been loyal and honest in his impression, and his legs and feet were inconvenient. Now Ming Hai said to him that the boss has a problem, and he really can't believe it, why has thrift become a problem?

Ming Hai stood on the side of the case, knowing that the emperor didn't believe it, and he didn't interrupt Emperor Jingxiao, until he opened his eyes, then continued, "My subordinates have sent people to follow the eldest prince for ten days, but I haven't seen any movement from him. But just yesterday, his subordinates found that a small sedan chair was lifted out of the back door of the Great Prince's Mansion. The subordinates followed in person, and found that the small sedan chair had changed carriages outside the city and drove straight in the direction of Baiqi Mountain, and inside Baiqi Mountain, the subordinates clearly heard the sound of soldiers drilling. ”

The eldest prince has inconvenient legs and feet, everyone thinks that he has no chance with the throne, but he was born in the royal family, who can really not think about that position? Moreover, the eldest prince also occupies a long character, and when the queen did not give birth to a concubine, he was the most powerful to inherit the throne.

Emperor Jing Xiao didn't understand this, he thought that the eldest prince had inconvenient legs and feet, how could he be ambitious, "You saw him go in with your own eyes?" ”

Ming Hai nodded, "Yes!" ”

"Zhou Ningfu!"

Zhou Ningfu pushed the door in when he heard the sound, saluted, and waited for the order.

"Go and give an order, and order General Guide to personally lead 5,000 Imperial Forest Army tomorrow to go to Baiqi Mountain to suppress bandits!" Emperor Jing Xiao came up with such an excuse to investigate the truth first.

General Guide, who received the holy decree, was also very puzzled, Bai Qishan is in the suburbs of the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can someone die and be a bandit here? He seriously suspected that the information was wrong, but the holy decree had been issued, and he had to go even if he took the formality.

The next day, I went to Baiqi Mountain to take a look, and I was dumbfounded, where are the bandits, this is simply a well-trained regular army. General Guide can sit in the position of Sanpin, naturally he is not a fool, he knows that there is something greasy in this, but since the emperor said that he would let him suppress the bandits, then he is also happy to pretend to be confused, and he is serious about suppressing the bandits.

Bai Qishan's army is just an ordinary army, and the eldest prince has just begun to plan, and he has not yet gathered many men. And the Imperial Forest Army is the top army in the entire Great Xia, the sun has just risen, and the corpses are already scattered here, ending the battle. General Guide put away his sword, mounted his war horse, and said, "Withdraw!" ”

Emperor Jingxiao waited for General Guide's return to his life, and finally recognized the reality, and his honest and loyal eldest son was also uneasy.

Closed his eyes in disappointment, and sure enough, there was no father and son in the heavenly family, "Zhou Ningfu, go to the Great Prince's Mansion to pass the order, crown the eldest prince as King An, and order him to guard the imperial mausoleum and set off tomorrow!" ”

The emperor is old, but he is easy to be soft-hearted, Zhou Ningfu sighed in his heart and stepped back to pass the decree.

The eldest prince's mother is Concubine Jing, and when she heard the emperor's will, she hurriedly ran to the imperial study, "Your Majesty, Ke'er is your eldest son!" How can you get him to guard the Imperial Mausoleum? ”

Emperor Jing Xiao smiled, and his hand did not stop, "Isn't it good to guard the imperial mausoleum and honor my ancestors for my filial piety?" ”

Concubine Jing saw that the emperor was not angry because of her rash plea, and she was a little bolder, and begged softly, "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better for our son to stay in the capital and honor you?" ”

"Filial piety?" The emperor seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed, "Zhou Ningfu, you can bring Minghai's excerpt to Concubine Jing to see." ”

Concubine Jing didn't know why, and took the fold suspiciously, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became. Seeing the end, the fold in her hand fell to the ground with a "snap", Concubine Jing's face turned pale, she understood that the emperor was already extraordinarily gracious, and it was a big crime to recruit troops and buy horses privately!

Emperor Jing Xiao glanced at her, "Come on, go back!" I remember that he is my son, but he does not remember that I am his father! ”

Concubine Jing staggered out of the imperial study, and then cried bitterly, Ke'er! Why are you so stupid?!

Zhou Ningfu frowned, the imperial study was crying and making a fuss, what kind of system? waved his hand and ordered someone to help Concubine Jing back to the palace.

Since the eldest prince learned that the Baiqishan camp had been exterminated, he was drinking a little wine in the courtyard, and he was not surprised at all in the face of Zhou Ningfu, who came to deliver the decree, but breathed a sigh of relief as if the dust had settled.

"Father-in-law Zhou, sit down! Accompany the prince to drink two glasses at the end. As he spoke, he also gave Zhou Ningfu a glass of wine, "Let me guess, did my father give me a pot of poisonous wine?" Or three-foot white silk? ”

said with a smile, "Obviously I am the eldest son, but because of my inconvenient legs, did I deprive me of all my powers?" Why didn't you give birth to a healthy me in the first place! I hate it! I hate it! Hahaha... I hate it! With that, he took another sip of wine.

Zhou Ningfu stood aside without saying a word, and only when the eldest prince lay on the table with tears in his eyes, did he open the holy decree and read it, "The emperor has a decree, my eldest son Song Zike, is obedient and obedient, remember filial piety, and is specially named King An, go to the imperial tomb to guard the spirit, and will not leave for life, and set off tomorrow!" ”

King An poured wine for a moment, and looked at Zhou Ningfu in confusion, "Why?" Why? Father, he ......"

"The emperor told him that he Song Zike can not recognize me as his father, but I can't deny him as a son."

King An threw everything on the table to the ground, wept loudly, and it took a while to calm down. knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace, "Erchen takes the order!" ”
