Chapter 395: Sure enough, it's a fake death

Feeling that the water under her was already slightly cold, Huang Qiong stood up and stepped out of the bathtub. The second daughter beside Ren wiped her hair and body clean. But after wiping, Tingting knelt down and was about to open her mouth. Huang Qiong shook it: "I've been on the road for two days in a row, and I'm really tired today, so I won't do it, and the two of you will sleep with this king for a while." ”

After that, he didn't wear any other clothes, just wrapped a fur fur hastily around his body, and walked back to the bedroom. Although the second daughter behind her was a little disappointed, she looked at Huang Qiong, who was somewhat sunk like water, for fear of really angering him, and she didn't dare to speak more. After hurriedly putting only the coat on his body, he accompanied Huang Qiong back to the bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, one was busy untying the fur for him, and the other was busy opening the bedding. After Huang Qiong lay down on the bed, he hurriedly took off the only coat on his body, and snuggled up to Huang Qiong's left and right. didn't dare to make any provocative movements, just to warm the quilt for this master.

Maybe she was really tired, facing the warm fragrant nephrite jade beside her, Huang Qiong also didn't make any moves. Soon after he lay down in bed, he fell into a deep sleep. And he had his own thoughts, but he had the same worries, not knowing what this master would do with his second daughter, but he didn't feel the slightest sleep. Just listening to Huang Qiong's slight breathing, lying on the bed in a daze.

And just when Huang Qiong was asleep, the emperor, who had been waiting for Imperial Doctor Guo's echo in the Wende Palace, also got the exact news. After listening to Imperial Physician Guo's performance, the emperor's face can be described as gloomy as water. He didn't expect that the so-called death of the King of Shu was really just a game of golden cicada shelling, and it slipped away under his nose.

As soon as he received the reply from Imperial Physician Guo, the angry emperor sent all the personnel of the North and South Zhenfu Division, who were responsible for monitoring the Shu King's Courtyard, to Zhao Prison. Even the Nanzhen Fusi, who was responsible for arranging the manpower, and the commander of the left envoy were also imprisoned. The emperor gave the Beizhen Fusi Commander three days to find out the truth about the escape of the King of Shu.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the emperor is so angry. The King of Shu can slip away from under the noses of the North and South Zhenfu Division, which is equivalent to slipping away from under his noses, which in itself is tantamount to a great shame for an emperor who is in charge of the life and death of the world. And the charred corpse left behind to cover people's ears and eyes is as if he is laughing at him for his incompetence as the king of a country.

was teased and slapped in the face by this son again and again, and the emperor's face was not ordinary hot and uncomfortable at this time. And what the emperor knows better is that the person who really let the King of Shu slip away from his nose is himself. When he first received Huang Qiong's secret fold, the emperor kept saying to Imperial Physician Guo that he couldn't believe it but couldn't believe it. In fact, in his heart, the emperor has always had a trace of luck.

Waiting for the person he sent to investigate the king of Shu, tell him that this matter was not done by the king of Shu, or that the king of Shu was forced to do it. Even Princess Duan, who had partially woken up, had already told him that the King of Shu not only destroyed Duanwang's entire family, but also ruined her third sister-in-law for two whole days. Even after playing enough, he rewarded her to his subordinates.

Even the leader of the prince of Shu's army, who was locked, had already confessed to some things about the king of Shu in Chengdu and Ruzhou. and confessed to the people outside the city of Ruzhou, after sending the people of the North and South Towns. In the case of late pursuit, the king of Shu once slaughtered a village in order to vent his anger. Moreover, the leader of the pro-army, who also confessed to the King of Shu, has always hidden a secret guard organization that is good at assassination and spying.

But even after receiving so many confessions, the emperor still retained a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to have a more favorable testimony to tell him that all this was not done by the king of Shu. Those things that killed his brother and killed his brother, slaughtered the village, and adulterated his sister-in-law were not done by the most outstanding and filial son in his mind.

Therefore, it was reported to the Nanzhen Fusi, who was in charge of monitoring, because the regulations of the Shu King Courtyard were too large, and there were too many houses. The manpower that Nanzhen Fuji can send is really limited, and it is difficult to monitor. I hope that the place where the King of Shu is under house arrest will be changed to the Yamen of Fusi in Nanzhen. There were still some lucky emperors in their hearts, and they didn't agree.

Even after talking with Lin Hanyan last night and getting the most critical testimony, the emperor still didn't want to execute the king of Shu. I just thought that I would confine him in that courtyard and live for the rest of my life. But the emperor never imagined that his subordinates would always have residual affection. But the King of Shu was ruthlessly disguised and slapped him in the mouth as a father.

not only played a golden cicada shell under his nose, but also completely proved in disguise that those testimonies about him were true. If he hadn't done those things, what would he have been weak in heart and running? Once the last glimmer of hope was shattered, and he was severely humiliated by his own son, it is strange that the emperor does not jump like thunder.

Looking at the angry emperor, Imperial Physician Guo didn't know how to persuade him. He could only say after the emperor's anger calmed down a little: "Your Majesty, since it has been confirmed that the corpse in the other courtyard is not the king of Shu." So the top priority at the moment is not to find out how the King of Shu ran, but to find a way to get it back. Otherwise, the minister was worried that the king of Shu would follow the old path of King Duan and King Jing. ”

"Except for Chengdu Prefecture, the rest of the two rivers are all terrainous. Once he was run back to Sichuan by the King of Shu, with the capital he had worked hard in Sichuan for many years, I am afraid that the consequences would be difficult to predict. As the saying goes, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, the world is not chaotic, Shu is chaotic, and the world is not governed by Shu. The two rivers are located in the middle of nowhere, and the road into the river has always been difficult and difficult to travel. ”

"If the king of Shu escapes back to Sichuan, he will rely on the danger of geography to divide one side. At that time, the internal knot will remain in the rest of the party in the DPRK, and the external knot will be in Tibet and Dali, and I am afraid that it will become elbows and armpits at that time. Your Majesty, since King Jing is in Zhengzhou, the capital of Gyeonggi, he dares to raise private soldiers to rebel when the time comes. Then the king of Shu has been in the middle of the river far away from the emperor of Tiangao all these years, how can he be so honest as his vassal king? ”

"Compared with Zhengzhou, which is in the key area of Gyeonggi, if there is chaos in Sichuan, which is on the side of security, I am afraid that it will be more time-consuming and laborious to quell the rebellion. The most important thing is that this matter involves the face of the heavenly family, and it is impossible to publicly issue a sea fishing document and notify all local governments and counties to co-organize. Your Majesty, what should be done in this matter needs to be carefully weighed. ”

As Imperial Physician Guo said, the emperor, who had completely recovered from his anger, nodded slightly and said, "Old friend, it is indeed Lao Cheng who seeks the country." However, Brother Guo should not worry too much. As early as after receiving the secret letter from the King of England, I had already sent people to Chengdu Mansion to secretly investigate the King of Shu. At the same time, he secretly replaced the Chengdu Prefecture, as well as the officials above the fifth rank of civil officials on the West Sichuan Road, and the officials above the military officers and horses. ”

And stationed border troops from Maozhou and Yazhou, and each mobilized 1,000 troops and horses to enter Chengdu. 5,000 troops and horses were transferred from the Xijing camp and stationed in Hanzhong Mansion. That brute, even if he ran back to Chuanzhong, was just throwing himself into a net. And just before Mr. entered the palace, I ordered people to expedite 800 miles, and ordered the new Chengdu prefect to immediately raid the Shu Wangfu and escort the Shu Wang's family into Beijing immediately. ”

"The most important thing now is to capture this brute back to Beijing as soon as possible. Otherwise, once this matter is publicized, where will the face of the heavenly family be? How do the people of this world view the Heavenly Family, and how do they view my father? Old friend, the fake death of the King of Shu, at least until that beast is arrested and brought to justice, there must not be the slightest leakage, I am here to please. ”

After the emperor's words, Imperial Physician Guo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the old minister knows what to do in this matter." Moreover, although the corpse of Lao Chenguan was burned to charcoal, it was almost the same as the King of Shu in terms of height and size. ”

"If it weren't for the old minister's memory, the emperor said that the left foot of the King of Shu was six toes, and the left foot of the corpse was fortunately not burned off, and it was completely preserved, even the old minister was also blinded to the past. The old minister was so familiar with the King of Shu that he was almost blinded by the past. I'm afraid that other people, unless they are extremely familiar with the King of Shu and have seen the left foot of the King of Shu with their own eyes, the rest of the people can't tell the truth from the fake. ”

Imperial Physician Guo replied, and the emperor nodded slightly: "What my old friend said is right, that beast's left foot is indeed six toes. Although he didn't dare to say anything on the surface over the years, he has always thought that he is the true son of heaven in private. When this rumor first came out, I should have thought that this beast was definitely not as docile as it seemed. ”

"But if he has an extra toe on one foot, he thinks that he is the true son of heaven, how can he be willing to live under the people for a long time? Such a person is a person who is willing to be killed? Old friend, I was really careless this time. was run away by this brute.,I don't know how much turmoil I'm going to have in the future.。 All I hope now is that I can get him back sooner. ”

Seeing that the emperor gritted his teeth with hatred at this time, Imperial Physician Guo could only shake his head slightly. He didn't expect that the King of Shu would be so cunning. At this time, dare to do such a thing. It's just that this matter involves the private affairs of the Heavenly Family, and Imperial Doctor Guo didn't know what to say for a while. He hesitated for a moment before he said: "King Shu faked his death, do you want to tell King Ying?" ”

"The old minister heard that the emperor moved King Jing's family to the British Palace. Now that it has been confirmed that the King of Shu is not dead, the old minister is worried that the King of Shu is unwilling to fail, and he will attack King Jing's family again. Your Majesty, the King of Shu was able to quietly hold the two brothers hostage for so many years, and even killed Duanwang Manmen. ”

"If it weren't for the secret twist of the King of England, as well as the people of the Fusi of the North and South Towns who were sent by you to Ruzhou to secretly investigate, and inadvertently rescued Princess Duan, I'm afraid you wouldn't even know the truth about the destruction of Duanwang's family until now. Even King Jing's family, if it weren't for the king's strict defense, they would have already encountered an accident. Your Majesty, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. ”

"How big is the power of the secret captivity of the King of Shu, it is difficult to understand it for a while. But just a few words from the limited confessions of his attendants and pro-soldiers are already quite terrifying. If the King of England is not informed in advance, once the King of Shu is really unwilling, he will not give up on King Jing's family. ”

"Now that there is no King Ying in the cavalry camp, there is no way to protect King Jing's family at all. Even the King of England himself is unable to protect himself. Your Majesty, don't forget the lesson of the previous assassination of the British King. If something happens to King Ying and King Jing's family again, it will become a big joke. When the time comes, it will be really difficult for you to block the mouths of the people of the world. ”

Hearing Imperial Physician Guo's reminder, the emperor said in a deep voice: "I have already sent Gao Wuyong to inform Ah Jiu." Presumably, with this son's intelligence, I am afraid that he judged earlier than me whether the scene that the King of Shu is doing now is true or false. You must know that he now has more secrets of the King of Shu than even me, and he didn't tell me all about it last night. ”

"He really thought that if he didn't say it, I wouldn't be able to see that he was hiding something? I'm not old enough to get that faint. And Gao Wuyong came back to play, and after he heard this, his expression was calm and abnormal. It is enough to show that when he heard the news, he had already judged whether the death of King Shu was true or false. ”
