Chapter 553: It's time for Father to go and see them one last time
The event began with a miracle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Frost King in the minds of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been a chic and indifferent person. Although there are always some strange rumors circulating, as long as people who have seen Xiao Jin, they all feel that he has no quarrel with the world, just like a fairy outside the world, and those bad rumors about him seem to be just a slander and conspiracy, and have nothing to do with the real Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin also disguised himself like this, so that King Meng and King Yun relaxed their vigilance and defense, and they were able to live safely to this day. Although most of the strange rumors about him are not good, he spread them himself.
However, a heavy rain overturned everything.
When His Royal Highness the Frost King, who was like an immortal outside the world, prayed to God for the sake of the common people of Li, when the miracle fell on the earth and the rain just stopped, all the people counted this merit on Xiao Jin's head, so that they were grateful to Xiao Jin.
How many people were ruined by the heavy rain, compared to those who fought for power and profit in the capital, this move of the Frost King Xiao really bought the hearts of many people.
In this era, for those natural phenomena, the people are ignorant and ignorant, they all think that it is a miracle, and it happens that after Xiao Jin's sacrifice to the sky, the heavy rain that has not subsided has indeed stopped, almost exactly the same, and it is no wonder that the people will treat Xiao Jin as a god in their hearts.
In particular, Xiao Jin learned Fang Xiaoyu, and used words like 'willing to lose ten years of life' to increase the gimmick when worshipping the sky, when the people heard it, the dignified son, such a noble person, was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of them, how could he not be moved?
Especially for some people who have heard of Fang Xiaoyu's deeds, it is not difficult to perceive that there are also rumors in her experience such as losing ten years of life in exchange for Dacheng Antai, so when it is Xiao Jin's turn, they will instinctively associate it together, thinking that the gods and Buddhas in the sky always need some offerings when they bless the world, so it seems more realistic.
Xiao Jin's performance at the right time and place has achieved people, which is expected. But Xiao Jin's sudden hand is really not a happy thing for some people in Beijing.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. The Cloud King couldn't wait.
If he is safe, he should continue to lie dormant for a while. However, it is a good opportunity for King Meng to not be in the capital, and in the palace, their inner should have been prepared. The important thing is that he must control the court and grasp the military power as soon as possible, so that he can cooperate with Dacheng inside and outside and flank Fang Jianzhang's million-strong army.
In fact, Fang Jianzhang's choice disrupted his rhythm. He never thought that Fang Jianzhang would choose to resist the decree and disobey it, not only ignored the twelve gold medal emergency summons twice, but also personally killed the envoy who went to the imperial court to announce the decree, and detained Su Wanfu with strong means.
And the court of Dacheng naturally can't be unresponsive, otherwise how can there be face? Immediately decided to label Fang Jianzhang as a rebellious, and overnight, the news of Fang Jianzhang's rebellion spread all over the world.
This was originally to put some pressure on Fang Jianzhang, but the news that came showed that Fang Jianzhang not only did not waver in any way because of this, but attacked the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty more ferociously, and even went down a few cities, which was really a little unpredictable.
And he insisted on withholding Ye Xici and Fang Xiaoyu, just in case he could take the two of them hostage, so at this stage, he must not let Ye Xici and Fang Xiaoyu return to the mountain, otherwise he would have no bargaining chips to restrain Fang Jianzhang.
On Dacheng's side, the second prince was also very anxious.
Although the emperor was placed under house arrest, in the final analysis, he had not been given the right to really command the army.
As long as the emperor refuses to let go of his military power and hand over the tiger talisman for a day, then he will not be able to completely control the strength of the entire capital for a day, so if Fang Jianzhang's million army is under the city, he will be completely passive.
He was in a hurry to succeed because he hoped to be able to master the army as soon as possible, so that he could hope to compete with Fang Jianzhang.
I have to say that Fang Jianzhang's blatant protest was not in his plan. He obviously understood Fang Jianzhang's temperament, and knew that such a loyal person should not ignore the holy decree or even rebel, but the fact gave him a hard slap in the face, making him soberly realize that not everything was going according to the route he imagined.
He just didn't understand that Fang Jianzhang resisted the decree so simply and decisively, but when did the millions of heroes under his command not care about the rebellion? Not a single mutiny among the million-strong army?
How did Fang Jianzhang do it?
The sense of crisis in the second prince's heart deepened. Fang Jianzhang's choice undoubtedly became a thorn stuck in his throat, which was difficult to swallow, but if he pulled it out, it might hurt his throat and be painful.
He originally wanted to use the twelve gold medals to urgently summon Fang Jianzhang back to Beijing, and then he wanted to seize his power and get rid of this thorn in his side, when the time came, even if Zhen Yuanjun realized that their general's death was not reasonable, what could they do? Without the leadership of the general, do they really dare to rebel?
And he seized the tiger talisman from Fang Jianzhang's body, so Zhenyuanjun was in his pocket.
But who would have thought that Fang Jianzhang actually gave him a hard slap on the horse, which caught him off guard.
The second prince couldn't bear it anymore. The crown prince is not an opponent, and it is extremely difficult for him to protect himself in recent days, Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici were trapped in Tiandu City by King Yun. The court was firmly controlled by Zhou Xiang, and the emperor was nothing more than a toothless tiger.
All the time and place are on his side, and it would be a pity not to do it at this time.
The second prince gritted his teeth and decided to give it a go.
He wants to force the palace tonight, force the emperor to hand over the command of Gyeonggi Wei, and force the emperor to abdicate and make way for Xian.
And the emperor of the great inheritance, he is the only one!
Only by becoming a true Ninety-Five Venerable can he command all the remaining forces against Fang Jianzhang's million-strong army.
And what made him feel fortunate was that Fang Jianzhang's million-strong army belonged to the two places in the north and the northwest, and at this time, the forces of the Great Zhou were dragging Fang Jianzhang's mind, so that he had no heart to really leave the Great Zhou, so he had to race against time in order to have the spare strength to control everything next.
In the end, he is still too shallow.
Although his cheap concubine paved a lot of roads for him in the palace, those people at that time were loyal to Ye Shucheng's second prince, even if they finally knew that Ye Shucheng was just an impostor, and he was real, but many people hesitated about his loyalty.
And before Ye Shucheng died, he put him together, and gave all those real core forces to Fang Xiaoyu, who was supposed to be an enemy.
It's ridiculous that Ye Shucheng still thought that he and his cheap mother killed him, but as everyone knows, the one who really wants to get rid of him the most is the person he entrusted in the end, isn't it ironic?
The second prince held a bowl of medicine in his hand and silently walked into the emperor's bedroom.
At this moment, the emperor's face is a little thin, but there is still no lack of imperial majesty.
In the past few days, no matter how much he threatened, tried all means, and even threatened him with the crown prince, he always sneered and refused to compromise.
And he, when the time comes, he doesn't dare to really kill him, otherwise he will kill his father and the king, even if he is called to the throne, it will be unjustified in the eyes of outsiders, and this position may not last long.
But now he can't wait. For some reason, he always felt restless for the past two days, as if something was wrong. can carefully straighten out everything, but you can't find the source of this anxiety.
Time waits for no one. Fang Xiaoyu would not be trapped by King Yun for too long, this point, he knew best in his heart, even if he gathered all the forces of Tiandu City, but if Fang Xiaoyu could be far away alone, ten more Tiandu Cities might not be able to stop her.
He had to take advantage of the moment when King Yun dragged Fang Xiaoyu to settle all the dust of Dacheng, otherwise the night would be long and dreamy, and he was afraid that something extraneous would happen.
The second prince tightened the tray in his hand. A small turquoise bowl on a tray with clear juice swaying inside.
This is a kind of poison originating from the Great Zhou, colorless and tasteless, and even a person with excellent medical skills cannot detect the toxicity after death. And he will make the deceased die very peacefully, even without pain, not only will not show the death of the poisoned person, but will make the body of the poisoned person look vibrant.
Moreover, the incubation period of this poison in the human body is two hours, and the person will die of poison two hours after taking this poison.
And two hours was enough for her to do something.
"What are you doing again?" When the emperor saw that it was the second prince, his expression was not wavering, but his tone was impatient: "I have already said that no matter what means you use, I will not do what you want. ”
"Father, your words really hurt the heart of the son, thanks to the son's minister who gave the father the antidote, and relieved the hidden worry that the father could not speak, this is how the father repaid the son?" The second prince was not angry, it was not the first time he felt such an attitude of the emperor. It is better to say that since he put him under house arrest, the emperor has not given him a good face.
It's not that he can't understand. In other words, he would never give any good face to his persecutors, but today is different, he is not willing to delay any longer. He wanted that seat. He couldn't wait.
"Evil obstacles! Get out of here! The emperor said angrily, but his body couldn't move, it was obvious that the second prince had solved his dumb poison, but not his acupoint.
The second prince silently put down the medicine bowl in his hand, walked in front of the emperor, smiled, and then raised his palm, and slapped the emperor in the face, the force was so great that it actually left a bright red palm print on the emperor's cheek.
The emperor didn't say a word, but his eyes were like evil ghosts crawling out of Senluo's hell, as if he was about to devour the people in front of him alive.
"Don't be ashamed!" The second prince's face was hideous at this time, and he no longer smiled before, and said viciously: "I called you the father emperor because of your grace in giving birth to me, but over the years, you have never fulfilled the slightest responsibility as a father for me, but you still have to regard yourself as a respected elder, are you sorry?" ”
The emperor's face was unbearable, but then he stopped calm.
It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for this son. was replaced when he was still in his infancy, and he should have been a prince with unspeakable expensive clothes, but he was reduced to a commoner. But even so, maybe he wouldn't be so twisted.
Zhou Ling is a very cruel person. She was loyal to the big Zhou who was not worthy of her, and gave everything for it. She has been away from her parents since she was a child, trained by those who took advantage of her, watching other people's children and her parents enjoy 'family fun'. She recognized strangers as her father and mother, and entered the palace to accompany a person who didn't like him, Chenghuan, and gave birth to a son who couldn't stay by her side, but raised her opponent's child and raised it single-handedly.
All of this is for the sake of incomprehensible faithfulness.
And this poor child has been dropped since birth. If you were just born in a common people's family, it would be a joy to live like this from the beginning. But Zhou Ling didn't let him go, holding the enemy's son in the palm of his hand to take care of him, and thinking that his son would one day be able to do his part for her and Da Zhou.
He grew up in intrigue and unrealistic expectations, knowing his noble status, but he had to continue to be a humble commoner.
And the one who took everything from him looked down on him with a condescending posture and laughed at his humility.
So, maybe he just didn't want to. The Emperor felt that he could understand such feelings somewhat, but that was all.
He can't exchange the great inheritance for mercy on him. He was very pitiful and pathetic, but he could not be allowed to make his distortion really complete because of this.
He can't bet. You can't bet on anyone who is related to the Great Zhou to take charge of the Great Cheng. If he didn't have some of the blood of the Cloud King in his body, he might have considered the question of whether the throne could be handed over to him.
"Father, if you still have a sense of debt and guilt to your son, then ask your father to draft an edict and abdicate to make way for Xian. The retainers will let their father live in peace for the rest of his life, and will never do anything harmful to his father. Father, please also fulfill the sons. The second prince seems to have repaid the last trace of expectation. It would be best if the emperor was willing to abdicate himself, and he didn't want to have his father's blood on his hands.
"I really pity you." The Emperor shook his head, and the expression on his face was genuinely pitying.
The child still doesn't know how much sorrow awaits him.
The first half of his life was like a joke. was used by his biological mother and adoptive parents, and in the end he felt that he was living for himself, but in the end he couldn't escape being used.
"I don't want your pity!" The second prince suddenly looked hideous, and it seemed that the emperor's expression deeply hurt him. He gritted his teeth, the madness in his eyes was like a fire that had been ignited, he picked up the bowl of medicine he had prepared with his own hands on the table, stepped forward, pinched the emperor's chin, brought the medicine bowl to the emperor's mouth, and poured it frantically.
The emperor was choked by the colorless and tasteless medicine and coughed repeatedly, his face was clearly ugly, and he said, "What did you drink for me?" ”
The second prince smiled evilly and said, "Father, since my father refuses to abdicate and make way for Xian, don't complain about the ruthlessness of the ministers." ”
As he spoke, the second prince stood behind the emperor, pushed the chair the emperor was sitting on, and said, "Father, all the ministers are already waiting in the palace, and it is time for the emperor to go and see them for the last time." (To be continued.) )
