Chapter 279

Twenty years ago, the Song family, who had not been in the palace for a long time, had just given birth to the youngest son of the first emperor, and the first emperor was overjoyed and named the Song family as a concubine.

At that time, Chu Jing, the third prince who had been crowned king for more than a year, had already emerged and was full of spirit.

The three princes at that time were dazzling.

Whether it is standing on the court or galloping on the field, it is like a sharp sword that has just been unsheathed, and the blade of the sword is invincible.

Chu Jing, the third prince, was a martial artist when he was young, and his literary intelligence made the then Taifu embarrassed:

"What you learn is not as good as that of a weak crown."

In this way, the first emperor really had high hopes for Chu Jing, the third prince.

In addition, the third prince Chu Jing himself was the son of the late queen, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were full of expectations for the three princes when they saw that the three princes were so good.

At that time, including the current Emperor Zhengcang, among the princes, there were the eldest prince Chu Ling, the third prince Chu Jing, the seventh prince Chu Fu, and the eighth prince Chu Yu, who had just given birth to Song Guifei.

However, the three princes are too good, not only the first emperor loves him, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty even recognize this future prince candidate.

From the moment the three princes stepped into the court, whether it was the first emperor or the Manchu civil and military, no one mentioned the establishment of a prince to the first emperor, and it seemed that the third prince Chu Jing was the best candidate for the next emperor.

At that time, Emperor Zhengcang, who was still the second prince, was not valued by the first emperor because of his low background, and was even more neglected by other princes and ministers, but he was friendly with the third prince Chu Jing, and his feelings were very deep.

However, the other two princes were different. The eldest prince and the seventh prince were not much different in age from the third prince Chu Jing at that time, but they were unwilling to let the three princes snatch all the limelight, and they were even more unwilling because there were three princes. And in this life, he will not have anything to do with the supreme throne, and slowly, jealousy and resentment will become a heart of rebellion.

And this is the cause of the rebellion of the Three Kings.

Concubine Song Guifei saw the thoughts of the eldest prince and the seventh prince, and she was also jealous of the ability of the third prince in her heart, and wanted to compete for the ninety-five position for her son.

But. In the face of the civil and military support of the Manchu Dynasty and the heart of the former emperor, they were suffering for a while and had no countermeasures.

And at this time. Song Guifei didn't know who mentioned it, and she provoked the eldest prince and the seventh prince to rebel!

At that time, the eldest prince had about 20,000 Praetorian Guards in his hands, and the seventh prince also recruited a group of sergeants because he had just become an adult and became king, although the number was not large. But. The mother concubine of the Seventh Prince was the only daughter of the former general who guarded the city with 80,000 northern border guards at that time, and as long as she did it secretly, she could completely deceive the world.

Therefore, the combination of the two is nothing more than that the army of the third prince Chu Jing is far away in the southwest and is under the control of Zuo Yuanfeng, and the army of the eldest prince and the seventh prince is assembled. It will inevitably be dispatched in time.

However, at this moment. Something unexpected happened!

In the face of a heavy siege of the city, and full of everyone's trust, the third prince Chu Jing, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, is not in the capital!!

The eldest prince and the seventh prince received a secret letter from Song Guifei in the capital, and learned that Chu Jing, the king of Yue, was not in the capital, so they were overjoyed, so they complied with what Song Guifei said in the letter, saying that the rebellion between the two of them was at the behest of the third prince, King Yue.

On the city wall, the first emperor was heartbroken and unbelievable when he heard the news. However, he saw that the people around Song Guifei who had arranged for her in advance accused the king of Yue Chujing of why he was not in the capital now, and said that the king of Yue had an army of 200,000 troops, although he was in a remote place in the southwest, but as long as the two princes in front of him besieged the city with heavy troops, they would be like turtles in an urn, and there was no way to escape.

Even if the emperor was suspicious, but in the face of this situation, he was already confused, and he was also suspicious of Chu Jing, the king of Yue.

It was Song Guifei again, who actually came in person, knelt in front of the emperor, and denounced all kinds of disdainful acts of Chu Jing, the king of Yue, saying that he had a high merit and had already had the intention of rebellion. He also said that Zuo Yuanfeng, who was in charge of the southwest army, was upright and loyal to the emperor, and if he sent troops as soon as possible, Zuo Yuanfeng would inevitably come to the rescue and defend the capital.

When the emperor heard this, he did not doubt him, and immediately sent someone to the southwest to inform Zuo Yuanfeng to come to the rescue.

But I didn't know that Zuo Yuanfeng, who is now far away in the southwest, is already on the way back to the capital!!

It turned out that as early as after the eldest prince and the seventh prince intended to rebel, Song Guifei had already stolen the emperor's jade seal and forged documents and ordered Zuo Yuanfeng to return to Beijing to save the car.

Zuo Yuanfeng saw the emperor's seal, and without saying a word, he gathered the army and rushed back to the capital to rescue him, and the time when Zuo Yuanfeng left to return to Beijing was three days earlier than the day when the eldest prince and the seventh prince were now besieging the city!!

"What happened later, I think you all already know, General Zuo led the army back to the capital on the third day to rescue the driver, where can the two princes' sergeants compare to the southwest iron cavalry led by General Zuo, they were defeated almost instantly, they were already unstable, many generals actually surrendered the moment they saw General Zuo, and after that, they scattered and fled."

Song Hao slowly recounted everything he saw on the codex, but in the whole room, it seemed that even the heartbeat of Zuo Idiot and Mo Lidao could be heard.

Seeing this, Song Hao couldn't help but sigh, when he knew all this, he was just as shocked, a generation of talented and virtuous kings was like this...... On my back, the infamy of eternity!

"At that time, the emperor had a heavy army to arrest the three princes, and his original intention was not to really put them to death. At least, as far as I know, for the third prince Chu Jing, he must live! But because Song Guifei made a hindrance from it, the person who went to chase after him actually killed him without saying anything! The people who were sent out found the eldest prince who ran south and the seventh prince who ran north, and killed them cleanly, but when they came back, they only said that they were caused by their mistakes when they resisted stubbornly...... Song Hao said again.

After speaking, Song Hao raised his eyes to look at Zuo Idiot and Mo Lidao, only to see that Zuo Idiot had a heavy expression, but it was normal, but Mo Lidao was different.

At this moment, Mo Lidao, it can almost be said that his whole body is trembling.

Zuo Idiot is young, and he doesn't have much memory of Chu Jing, the king of Yue, and he regrets more than he is angry when he hears it.

And unlike Mo Lidao, who was Chu Jing's best friend, he had never believed in Chu Jing's rebellion, and now when he heard the truth, he couldn't help but tremble, but he couldn't say a word.

Say what?

No one knows, where did Chu Jing go at that time? Why not in the capital? Why did he disappear without even a word of justification?

The emperor didn't want to kill Chu Jing, but Chu Jing didn't go back to explain, he was actually charged? !

"Zuo idiot, he, why...... Don't stand up? died inexplicably like that, what the hell is he going to do?! Mo Lidao couldn't hold back any longer, raised his hand to cover his eyes, but saw two lines of tears, slowly flowing down.

Zuo Idiot sighed and said:

"Mr. Mo, I think, if there is anyone in this world who knows the reason why King Yue didn't go back to clarify at that time, it's just that one person."

"Who?" Mo Lidao was stunned when he heard this, and he took his palm away, looked at Zuo Idiot and said in a deep voice.

Zuo Idiot got up and walked out of the window, under the bright sky, there were the harmonious and comfortable people in the capital, who strengthened their beliefs in their hearts, and said slowly:

"Shadow Gate...... Door Master! (To be continued.) )
