Chapter 415: How Did He Do It?
Playing with the wine glass in his hand, after King Yong sighed, he said with some emotion: "The old man's thoughts, I, as a son, don't understand." But what I don't understand is that you, like the fifth brother, are leading the army to quell the rebellion outside. Why was the fifth brother transferred back to the capital immediately after finishing his work in Ruzhou. And as soon as you entered Beijing, you were put under house arrest, and you were appointed as an envoy to Zhengzhou. ”
"I don't want to know too much about the reasons for this, I just want to know if the fifth brother and the second brother and the third brother have any trouble. Otherwise, why did you bring the second brother's family to Beijing on the front foot, and something happened to the fifth brother on the back foot. Lao Jiu, you and the fifth brother are the two closest to me among the brothers. I don't want anything to happen to either of you. ”
"But now, it's the fifth brother who has an accident. Although I don't like to read, my seventh brother is not stupid, let alone stupid. Among them, there is nothing to blame. He was fine before, but as soon as the Jingwang family entered Beijing, this happened, saying that there was no connection in this, and I don't know if others believe it or not, anyway, I don't believe it. ”
"What's more, the third brother will kill his wife and children before committing suicide? Even if I am not close to the third brother, I still know how much the third brother is a person. Although the third brother is a little ruthless, he is definitely not the kind of person who really dares to make such determination. You must know that the third brother loves the third sister-in-law, who was known as the first beauty in the capital back then, to the core. ”
"For this reason, it's okay to deceive Concubine De and King Song's mother and son, but as for your seventh brother, I don't believe it at all. There are some things that seem to have little to do with each other. But the timing of these things, since they have all come together, makes people have to have some not-so-good associations. I'm not the kind of person who feels like I'm taking advantage of someone else's down. ”
"I don't care what they do, in my heart they are all our own brothers, brothers who have broken bones and tendons, and there are some things I really want to know. Lao Jiu, don't care what you will become in the future. But here today, you are still my ninth brother. I won't ask about this anymore, I'll just ask this once. ”
Listening to King Yong, he said that he was asking two things, but the latter words were actually asking himself in disguise, what is the connection between the rebellion of King Shu and King Jing and Duan. But Huang Qiong didn't expect that King Yong would be able to guess that there was probably a certain connection between the rebellion of King Shu and the second king from the accident of King Shu. And from his words, the truth has actually been somewhat judged.
It can be said that his words are not so much questioning himself as he is questioning himself. He guessed that the King of Shu was very likely to have something to do with the rebellion of the two kings, and even judged that the so-called suicide of King Duan's family played a very disgraceful role. But although he said that he judged it, he was obviously a little afraid or unwilling to believe his own judgment.
After all, his relationship with the King of Shu is there. Before he left the palace, King Yong and King Shu had the best relationship among the brothers. This can be seen from his attitude towards the King of Shu. It is precisely because of this that he, who thinks he knows the King of Shu very well, is unwilling to believe this fact. He wanted to confirm his own judgment through his own mouth.
His seventh brother looks ridiculous, but he is actually an extremely intelligent person in his bones. And his eyelids are not as narrow as outsiders see, greedy for alcohol and lust is just a means for him to protect himself, which Huang Qiong knows. But in some things, sensitivity and judgment are so strong, which still makes Huang Qiong feel very surprised.
As for what King Yong said, whether he meant it sincerely. Others may not believe it, but Huang Qiong does. Let's not talk about King Yong's personality, Huang Qiong thinks he still understands. It was at this time that knowing the true inside story of the rebellion of the two kings was not beneficial to a prince like him.
King Yong can ask at this time, which shows that he is indeed still thinking about that brotherhood in his heart. Even those feelings are almost worthless in the Heavenly Family. If King Jing and King Duan really need to attack him, I'm afraid they won't hesitate at all. But King Yong is King Yong after all, and there is still a trace of beauty in his heart, even if he knows that this is just an extravagant hope.
Regarding King Yong's question, Huang Qiong did not answer him immediately. Instead, he poured himself three glasses of wine in a row, and after drinking the wine glasses one after another, he was silent for a long time before he said: "Brother Seven, there are some things that I really can't tell you clearly." What I can tell you is that the second brother's rebellion was indeed not his intention, but there was another big hidden secret. ”
"Behind everything, there is a black hand controlling everything. As for whether the third brother is also like this, I am afraid that in addition to the mastermind behind the scenes, only the father and the emperor probably know something. But what kind of secret is it, who is that black hand, I'm sorry, before I get my father's dictation, my little brother really can't tell you clearly. ”
"The only thing I can tell you now is that the incident of my assassination was ostensibly done by the crown prince, but in fact it was done by the fifth brother. As for your speculations, what you think is true is true. If you don't think it's true, it's not true. And the truth of this matter may one day be revealed to the world, and it may become a secret that no one will ever solve. ”
"But there's another thing you asked, I can assure you. The second brother did commit suicide by taking poison, and he died in my arms. So far, Si Xiangyu has refused to cross Jiangdong, and the second brother is also a person who would rather be broken than broken. The second brother knew that after returning to Beijing, even if there was no secret to this rebellion. The father and the emperor will not kill him because of the love between father and son, but at least one captivity cannot be escaped. ”
"He doesn't want to live a life where he can only face four high walls all day long, and he can't even see an outsider, so why? I also persuaded him and vouched for him that I would escort him back to Beijing safely. But the second brother refused, and only entrusted his wife and children to me before he died. The second brother's family, I also worked hard to save it. ”
"Otherwise, their results would not be better than that of the third brother's family. Seventh brother, listen to the advice of the younger brother, don't inquire about this matter in the future. When my father should tell you, he will tell you. My father hasn't said anything so far, and you have to experience his old man's hard work. ”
"And there are things you know too well that only make yourself more miserable. Brother Qi, you are a very smart person. I think you can understand the meaning of my brother's words today. So, don't ask about these things in the future. Especially with my father, don't ask anything more. ”
Although Huang Qiong's words were not explicitly stated, the meaning of them actually expressed everything that King Yong wanted to know. King Yong, who understood Huang Qiong's words, sighed deeply and said, "Lao Jiu, don't say it again." I understand what you said, and I will listen to your hard work. ”
Speaking of this, King Yong poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Raised his head again and took a look, the dances over there were getting hotter and hotter, and the crotch was shaking rapidly, shook their heads and said, "Ninth brother, what's going on?" How can he do it? It was his third brother and sister-in-law. Killing people and burning corpses, how could he do so many things that are not tolerated. ”
"I know that the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are all that kind of wolf ambition, and they are all worried about the position under the old man's buttocks, and their eyes are red. If you catch the other party even if you make a mistake, you will desperately kill the other party. Between them, it has reached the point of endless death. I wouldn't be too shocked that any of the three of them would do such a thing. ”
"But what is intolerable to do is that I originally thought that after I left the palace, he had always taken good care of me, King Shen and King Zhao, let alone the kind of person who was so ruthless. Back then, he gave up going to Nanyang Mansion and chose to go to Shuzhong, which was thousands of miles away, and I complained about him. ”
"Blame him, regardless of our young brothers, who walked away to avoid trouble. But I never thought that in my heart back then, the gentle and elegant him would actually do such a thing. also forcibly ruined the third sister-in-law in front of the third brother. And the third brother was forced to watch the tragedy by his people. How did he manage to do this kind of thing that was inferior to beasts? ”
"Ninth brother, do you know, after I listened to that guy's words yesterday, I was sweating profusely. I now understand that he was good to me because he didn't think I was a threat to him. Even when he needs it, he can be a pawn for him at any time. If I had been like the second brother and the third brother, my mind would have been on competing for the big position, I'm afraid I would have become a pile of white bones a long time ago. ”
As soon as King Yong finished speaking, Huang Qiong was stunned. Who he is, King Yong didn't say it clearly, Huang Qiong naturally knew it in his heart. It's just that Huang Qiong was a little surprised, how did King Yong know this? To know these things, the emperor knows whether he knows or not, Huang Qiong doesn't know, and the emperor has never told himself. I don't know these things, how did King Yong know?
During that time, he was not all in the palace, even in the palace, he was locked in the palace and was not allowed to go out, these secrets, the emperor may not know about these things, how did this guy find out? King Yong has some means, which Huang Qiong knows. But Huang Qiong never thought that this guy was so capable that he could even find out these things.
Looking at Huang Qiong, who had always had a calm face even when she encountered something big, she looked at herself with some surprise. Yongwang's face was not half colored, but after pouring another glass of wine and drinking it all, he said with a bitter face: "Lao Jiu, in fact, I know that this matter is an accident at all. I even said that I only found out last night. ”
"You also know me, in this capital, I can be regarded as having a wide range of friends, and I have made acquaintances with people of all religions and nine ranks. There are some things that others can't find out, and I may not really be able to find them. My younger brother's brother-in-law, because his family was poor when he was a child, in order to earn food for the family, he gritted his teeth and entered the palace as a eunuch. ”
"That guy is also lucky, he was assigned to the Duanwang Mansion not long after entering the palace. In addition, he is also a clever character, and within a few years, because of his good service, he was selected to be the personal eunuch next to the third brother, and he has been serving by the third brother's side. is the third brother's most trusted personal eunuch, and he is in charge of many private things. ”
"The third brother doesn't trust normal people, he only trusts those eunuchs. He has always believed that people with a complete body are prone to apostasy or difficult to control because they have a family, children, or a habit of drinking and lusting. Only when those things below are gone, the eunuch who has no desires will be truly loyal and reliable. Therefore, the third brother's trust in eunuchs has always been above ordinary people. ”
