Chapter Eighty-Four: Retreat as Advance
"Lawless!"
The Emperor overturned all the folds on the offering table.
"Your Majesty is angry!"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground-
For this kind of open and secret competition between princes, the emperor generally takes too many cold sidelines, and rarely gets so angry, even three years ago, when King Qi, who was regarded as the crown prince, was victimized, the emperor only symbolically visited the criminal department, and was not so angry.
Just like a Gu raiser, he doesn't care which Gu worm becomes the Gu King in the end, he only looks at the results and doesn't look at the process, so there are only a handful of more than 20 princes who have become instruments so far.
However, this Gu King not only has to defeat all the competitors to win, but also has to be able to grasp the hand and not devour the master.
And now that the Gu King is King Cheng, there is obviously a faint prelude to breaking free from the shackles and starting to resist.
"Anger?" The emperor looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how many of them were loyal to him?
"In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still people who dare to openly assassinate the prince and the emperor's heir, it's just bold! You put my anger at rest? ”
Looking at the people kneeling at the front of the hall, the emperor said meaninglessly: "That thief is so rampant, I'm afraid that in the future, I will let the thief take off this head, and you still don't know!" ”
"Your Majesty is cautious!" Doctor Yu Shi said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, such an alarmist statement must not come from your own mouth!" ”
"Yu Shifu is right, I am the son of heaven, I am the emperor who owns the world and is called the emperor, but my own son and son are in danger of being killed in the imperial capital, how long can I sit in this country?"
This is too serious, even the Son of Heaven is worried about his own life, how to stabilize the country, the person who assassinated the King of Qi is no longer a simple internal struggle between princes, but has been elevated to the great crime of rebellion!
Some people who have different minds have to bury their heads lower.
The emperor sat at the highest point of the court, looking at King Zhao Feng Chu who was kneeling on the ground, but his back was still straight.
"Feng Chu, where and when did you Dao Feng Yi be attacked?"
"Enlightening the father, the son did not see it with his own eyes!"
Feng Chu, who raised his head, was full of red eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "A few days ago, the emperor's brother's hard work and marriage caused the recurrence of the old disease in his legs, and he was unwell. ”
"Erchen rushed to the Qi Palace's mansion overnight, only to learn that the thief had actually sent two groups of dead soldiers to attack and sneak attack the imperial brother."
"Yesterday, the King of Qi and the Princess of Qi were ordered to return to the door, and the people they brought were all retainers of the Qi Palace, but the two groups of attackers were all good hands."
"When the Jingzhao Mansion patrol led the troops to appear, the King of Qi had already been affected by the fight, and in order to avoid the arrows, the old injuries on his legs recurred again and were painful, and the Princess of Qi was even more frightened and fell into a coma!"
"Father!" Feng Chu's face was full of blue muscles and bulges, and he looked very excited, but he still landed on his knees, looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair and said, "Father, Emperor Mingjian!" ”
"What a figure the emperor was back then, he crossed the horse battlefield to kill the enemy, and General Long Wei fought against the Beirong barbarians, and kept the frontier peaceful to this day."
"Now I can only rely on a wheelchair, sit in the chariot and horse with the princess, and get out of danger in the desperate protection of the guards and retainers."
"Brother Huang is the crown prince promised by your father back then! has fallen into such a situation so far, how can the sons endure it, is it tolerable or unbearable? ”
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of King Cheng, and his gaze was like a soldering iron, and he couldn't wait to get up and kill the other party cleanly!
Feng Chu's words touched the emperor's heart, and the reason why he was so angry was not because he felt so sorry for King Qi, but because as Feng Chu said-
Feng Yi was born by the queen, was orthodox, and followed the queen's military achievements, at that time, Feng Yi, the king of Qi, could be described as a real orthodox crown prince, and only a piece of paper from the emperor was sent to the world.
And it is such a crown prince, who now has no ability to protect himself, and is attacked by people in broad daylight in the imperial capital.
If before, he wouldn't believe it anyway, no matter how King Qi didn't ask about political affairs, he was excluded, but he had led an army in the north for three years, and it was impossible for him to not even have private soldiers, and King Zhao, who was always inseparable from him, was not a vegetarian.
No matter how you say it, it's impossible to take them down with a random raid!
But it just so happened that things were so coincidental, it was such a coincidence, Feng Yi's leg recurred a few days ago, so that King Zhao had to run to Fengshan to seek medical treatment yesterday, and it just so happened that someone came to attack King Qi yesterday, and the other party knew that he had a private soldier, so a group of dead soldiers just left, and another batch came.
If it weren't for the artificiality, how could so many coincidences happen at the same time?
All the clues point to becoming a king!
The emperor first excluded the King of Qi!
Because he found out, although the second batch of killers was nowhere to be found, the first batch of people left some clues, the arrow that almost injured Princess Qi, the arrow was made of Xirong's dark iron!
Xirong's Xuantie, in order to disperse the forces of King Qi, the emperor rewarded it to Feng Sheng, who was still a county king at that time, just so that he could support the Tu clan to compete with King Qi's Longwei army!
Others don't know about this, but the emperor knows very well, the quantity of Xirong's dark iron is very small, but the quality is excellent, otherwise the Tu clan would not have risen to become an upstart in the imperial capital in just three years.
And now it is the Tu clan that has joined forces with King Cheng Fengsheng!
The previous princes were either suppressed and scared by King Qi and King Cheng, and directly gave up the competition, or lost Qingqing's life in the competition over the years, and now, there is no time to cultivate a person of the same force to equal power.
Such a powerful enemy was cultivated by himself, and the emperor had to sigh: What a stone was really lifted and shot in his own foot!
Seeing Feng Chu looking at Feng Sheng with a resentful expression, the emperor thought with a headache: If it weren't for Feng Chu's single-minded follow-up to Feng Yi, he would also be a good candidate, but it's a pity......
The emperor's heart turned back and forth and regretted it in every way, it was only a matter of a moment, and at the same time, King Cheng was also wondering: he did send someone to intercept Feng Yi yesterday, but the order was to intimidate, threaten and insult, and did not ask for the other party's life!
Looking at Feng Chu's eagerness to peel him and tear him apart, Feng Yi must have been injured a lot, so if he said that he didn't do it, even he wouldn't believe it!
Who the hell is hacking him?
Except for the emperor, who else could so easily assassinate a prince who was still alive in the imperial capital?
Reminiscent of this period of time, the emperor gave the king of Qi a marriage, and the king of Qi got into a relationship with Uncle Chu under the emperor's intentional arrangement, and was assassinated at this time.
It seems that the emperor is really going to start attacking him!
However, how can he easily let go of the things that have already been in hand, he was just a powerless prince back then, and now that he has tasted power, how can he be willing to give up, even if he ...... The other party is his own father!
So, King Zhao, who was attentive, saw the emperor sighing at him, but he looked at Feng Sheng from time to time, his expression was cold, and although he was kneeling with his head buried, he clenched his fists and stared at the ground and didn't know what he was planning!
This......
It's really like what the brainless star said: retreat is advance!
Small Theatre:
Agent: Who is the Brainless Star talking about?
Zhaowang: The brainless star is talking about you!
Agent: Even an alien species like me can see the situation clearly, but you can only cry in the court and sympathize, and you are not ashamed?
Zhaowang: ...... Ashamed!
