Chapter 547: The Emperor is dumb, and all parties take action
After the eldest princess left, the emperor in the palace showed a look of disappointment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and beside the emperor, the second prince held a bowl of medicine, looked at the disappointed emperor with a smile and said, "Father, it's time to drink medicine." ”
The emperor's gaze turned to look at the second prince, and his expression suddenly showed awe-inspiring killing intent. It's just that he didn't speak, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
"Father, your gaze is really terrifying, but it scares your sons." The second prince was not afraid of this terrible killing intent, but he pretended to be frightened, and then chuckled: "How? The person that my father was looking forward to didn't make it here, and I couldn't solve my father's difficulties when I saw my father's miserable appearance, was my father disappointed? ”
The emperor looked at the so-called son in front of him with a smile full of sarcasm, his expression was indifferent, his lips moved slightly, and he said: "Evil obstacles! It's just a pity that he can't make any sound.
"The son knows what his father wants to say." The second prince sneered: "Father must have thought that if Fang Xiaoyu was here, he would never give up halfway like the eldest princess, I am afraid that he has already pushed the door in at this moment, and even took me down." ”
The emperor's chest rose and fell.
The second prince was not angry because of this, but said with a smile: "Father, the son knows the gap between him and that side of the joke, so he agrees with his father in his heart." ”
The second prince seemed to understand Fang Xiaoyu very well, and then leaned in front of the emperor and said with a smile: "That's why Erchen dared to choose to make a move when she was not in Dacheng." ”
"Outsiders thought that she was just practicing Buddhism in the Kuzen Temple, but Erchen knew that she and Na Ye Xici were in Da Zhou at the moment, and they were dragged by King Yun of Da Zhou, and they couldn't come back at all, so Erchen could only use this precious time to take everything into his hands."
"When the retainers get this great inheritance, what can they do even if that smile comes back? I'm afraid that before I enter the city gate, I will be taken down. The second prince sneered.
Fang Xiaoyu is strong in martial arts, and idle masters can't take advantage of her. But no matter how strong her martial arts are, she is invincible with her fists in the end, and she can still be the enemy of the entire Dacheng?
"You've joined forces with King Yun of the Great Zhou?" The emperor was furious, but unfortunately he couldn't speak, but he still questioned silently.
And the second prince seemed to be able to read the lips, as if he knew what the emperor was saying, so he replied: "It's just a temporary alliance." Anyway, I also have some of his blood in my body, if I can seize the Great Chengjiang Mountain, I can win enough bargaining chips for him in the heart of the Great Zhou Emperor, so that the emperor will favor him, make him the crown prince, and be in charge of the Great Zhou in the future. Not only that, but even this great inheritance may become his bag without blood, so to help me trap that Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xi for a while, and buy me some time, why wouldn't he do it? ”
"With Da Cheng's stable rear, in Da Zhou, even if he loses in the battle for the throne with King Meng, there is still a retreat from Da Cheng, no matter how he doesn't suffer, he will naturally not miss such an opportunity." The second prince smiled coldly but deeply. He didn't have a good impression of those people in Da Zhou.
The emperor was angry and said angrily: "You are seeking skin with the tiger!" Set the fox to keep the geese! ”
"Lure the wolf into the house? Father, you are wrong, the son will never let the cloud king touch an inch of my country! The second prince's expression became colder and colder: "He wants to use me to seize the great inheritance, why don't I want to use him to achieve my goal?" If he wins the battle with King Meng and becomes the monarch of the Great Zhou, and then threatens me, relying on this Dacheng Jiangshan, which is not much weaker than the Great Zhou, I can still compete with him. And if he can't even fight with the king, like a lost dog fleeing into my great inheritance, with a ruined waste, how can he dare to threaten me? ”
The emperor sneered, but he didn't know what he was thinking, but the look in his eyes was not as intense as Fang Cai, and he slowly calmed down.
"How can Erchen easily get rid of the country that he has so hard to get?" The second prince's eyes revealed a strong ambition, and then he said categorically: "Not only the rivers and mountains of Dacheng are mine, but perhaps in the future, even the rivers and mountains of Dazhou are also mine." Even the whole world is mine! ”
As he spoke, the second prince himself laughed.
What's the use of just talking, everything is proved with actual actions, and all the rhetoric is just talk on paper.
"So my father, for the sake of the eternal great cause of my son, my father wrote an edict and abdicated to let my son be virtuous, how about it?" The second prince's tone suddenly softened again, but the mockery in his tone was even more naked.
He knew that the other party would not be able to cooperate with him, but at this moment, the feeling of trampling a high heavenly son under his feet and humiliating him was really wonderful.
Even if this person who was imprisoned by him and poisoned by him was his biological father, even if he had the blood of the Ye family in his body, so what?
This is what they owe him!
If it weren't for these people, if it weren't for these high-ranking people, how could he have gone through all those hardships, the wind and frost, the cold, the rain or shine, and the man who replaced him was indulged in the palace with nothing to eat?
There was a lot of injustice in the world, but he didn't want to complain.
If all that happened to him in the past was injustice, then he used his own hands to make everything fair. That's fairness.
"You're dreaming!" The emperor opened his mouth, even if he couldn't make a sound, he could still feel the majesty of the emperor flowing from his body.
The country belongs to the emperor. But the emperor is not something that any cat or dog can become.
Even if the other party is his own son, it is indeed his blood flowing in his body, but he still lacks the biggest condition to become an emperor.
Destiny is never in him.
Luck never favored him.
Because, he was born in the same era as the laughing girl, but he was the enemy of the laughing girl.
The emperor knew very well in his heart that he seemed to be embarrassed, but in fact he was not worried about his life. And the other party seems to have everything under control, but in fact, everything he did was already expected by the laughing girl.
If he hadn't known everything in advance, if he hadn't accompanied them in this play beforehand, even he would have been surprised by how much control the girl had over these things.
From the very beginning, his son was calculating and laughing. But also from the beginning, such calculations also fell into the calculations of the laughing girl.
The Laughing Girl spent a long time arranging a big game of chess, counting all these people into it, not only eliminating her enemies and making them no longer a threat to her, but also counting the people who thought they were playing chess.
The emperor felt cold in his heart, he always felt a little guilty about the son in front of him, who had not raised him for many years. Being exchanged for a prince by a tanuki is not his child's fault, and even his resentment, he can't understand it.
However, it is a matter of the great inheritance of the country and the survival of the Ye family, and he can't abandon everything because of a son.
Since the other party has made a move, he naturally has to fight back. It's just that now is not the time. It's far from time for him to be tough.
Thinking of this, the emperor's gaze fell silent again, and he seemed a little lifeless.
This kind of behavior made the second prince's suspicion go away a lot.
The second prince had ambitions, otherwise he would not have taken advantage of Fang Xiaoyu and the others to put the emperor under house arrest while they were not in the capital. However, he also knew that his foundation was too shallow.
Except that he is the son of Zhou Ling, with the support of Zhou Xiangfu behind him, all other forces are waiting, and he is far from reaching the point where people are willing to be loyal.
The most important thing is that far away in the northwest, there is also a Fang Jianzhang who is a big trouble for him.
In today's northwest, nearly 700,000 troops have gathered, not to mention that all the generals of Beiyan are subordinate to the Zhenyuan army, and they are all under the dispatch of Fang Jianzhang, and after careful calculation, Fang Jianzhang already has nearly a million troops in his hands.
What is this concept? Counting the hidden forces of Dacheng, almost half of them were in Fang Jianzhang's hands.
If this hidden danger is not solved, he must not stand on the cusp of the limelight rashly, so if necessary, he must find a way to get rid of Fang Jianzhang, and then replace his own henchmen to control this million army. The most important thing is that the matter can't be done by him, at least it can't be discovered that he wants to harm Fang Jianzhang, otherwise it will definitely cause a backlash from the million-strong army.
This matter is best handled by the crown prince.
The second prince thought about it and already had some ideas in his heart.
If what he thinks is correct, although Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici support the crown prince, the queen seems to be afraid of them. Can this be used?
The second prince fell into deep thought, but he didn't notice how pitiful the 'immobile and poisoned' emperor behind him looked at him.
Only a door away, Zhou Xiang stood outside the door in a daze, his eyes moved from the back of the eldest princess who had gone away to the closed door, but the look on his face could not see joy and sorrow.
After a short time, the second prince came out of the door and closed the door again.
Seeing that Zhou Xiang was here, the second prince immediately changed into a smile, walked around Zhou Xiang's side, and said in a rather dependent tone: "Grandpa, thank you." ”
Zhou Xiang glanced at the second prince deeply, and then sighed: "I was hesitant to help you, but in the end, I couldn't grind my hard-working daughter." You're the only blood she's left right now, and I can't watch you die alone. ”
"Okay, I hope you can achieve what you want, don't ask me to follow you to death in the Zhou Prime Minister's Mansion." Zhou Xiang sighed and said, "You can do it yourself." ”
"Grandpa, if you believe me, not only will I not let the Zhou Xiangfu be burdened, but I will also make the Zhou Xiangfu full of favor." The second prince swore an oath. But how much truth is in the words is two words.
"I hope so." Zhou Xiang's face improved, and then he said goodbye to the second prince and left the palace.
After returning to Zhou Xiang's mansion, Zhou Xiang went to the study, where his wife was waiting for him early in the morning.
As soon as Zhou Xiang entered the room, his wife closed the door, and then Zhou Xiang's face changed from the original worry and love to gloomy.
"Sir, how's it going? Is it all going well? Mrs. Zhou Xiang hurriedly asked eagerly.
"Madame, don't worry, he is not suspicious for the time being." Zhou Xiang nodded.
"That's good." Mrs. Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a cold expression: "Master, no matter what, we must avenge our daughter!" ”
"That's nature." Zhou Xiangyi said with a cold expression: "I couldn't stand her when she was alive, but after she died, I couldn't live with her son anymore." ”
"Those people dare to calculate the old man, steal the old man's beloved daughter, and let the old man become an accomplice to the murder of his daughter, this account, the old man must settle this account with them!" After that, Zhou Xiang looked at his wife, and comforted him softly: "Madame, don't worry, the girl who laughed has calculated everything, and Xici is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let's try our best to cooperate." ”
"Master, I can't wait to have them torn to pieces! When I think of our daughter, my heart is like a knife. Mrs. Zhou Xiang covered her heart, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Since she learned the truth of the matter, she has stopped blaming herself day and night.
If you had been more careful, how could your daughter have been stolen? Why doesn't she take her daughter with her every day?
If the identity of Zhou Ling could be carefully examined that day, why had they been deceived for so many years? not only helped the enemy frame his own daughter again and again, and even acquiesced in others killing his daughter, but also helped cover up the traces!
If they could have known the truth that day, why bother to let the child of Xiqi suffer so much, and he almost died five times, and was isolated in the palace of Na'an every day?
As the grandmother of Xici's child, she didn't do anything for that child, and she didn't even dare to imagine how remorse and despair they would have been after knowing the truth if Fang Xiaoyu hadn't accidentally saved that child's life?
"Why shouldn't I? But there was no urgency. In the future, you and I will continue to make false promises with him, and we can't spoil the big thing of laughing at that child. Zhou Xiang hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, if you want to avenge our daughter, the most anxious and urgent person is the child of Xici." Poor this boy saw his mother die in front of him, and the resentment in his heart was a hundred times greater than that of you and me. ”
As soon as they thought of the suffering that Ye Xici had suffered, the two old men felt even more uncomfortable.
At the same time, all sides are acting.
The crown prince contacted all the courtiers who supported him, and gathered in Fang Xiaoyu to discuss important matters in a secret mansion in the capital.
The queen was in the harem at this time to meet the second princess.
The Ministry of Shangshu Shang Jingwei is in contact with the ministers of all parties to support the second prince, and has secretly bought off a group of people from Gyeonggi Guard, and quietly replaced all the defense of the palace with the people of the second prince.
Shang Jingwei was a little worried. However, there was no way back for him.
At the beginning, the second prince found him before entering the palace, saying that he could help him deal with Fang Xiaoyu, and even asked him to pretend to be impartial, but in fact, he wanted to follow Fang Xiaoyu's meaning to put Prime Minister Mei's mansion to death.
It wasn't until Mei Cangyun's head landed on the ground that he knew why the second prince was so scheming to bring down Prime Minister Mei's mansion. And the reason made him feel even more chilled.
However, he was already on the thief ship and could not easily exit at all. Moreover, he and that party Xiaoyu have an uncommon hatred of killing sons and daughters, which cannot be resolved at all. And that Fang Xiaoyu is a staunch supporter of the crown prince, and it is too late for him to take refuge, so he can only follow the second prince all the way to the dark.
It's just that I hope that I won't ruin the whole business clan with a single thought. (To be continued.) )
