Chapter 394: Calm down

If the King of Shu is really dead, even if he knows that he is the emperor Laozi, what he is most afraid of is fratricide. The last thing I want to see is that one of her sons dies, and the other sons have no sadness, and Huang Qiong will laugh heartily. Because only when the King of Shu is really dead, can Huang Qiong really open the shackles in his heart.

It's just that the King of Shu, who learned from King Jing and even Yi Ying's mouth, is it really because of a mistake that should never be made, so easily ending his life in such a way that is close to suicide?

Especially knowing that he had assassinated King Jing's family many times, he had failed because of his strict defense. For such a long time, there was no abnormal movement. Why did he make such a show on the night he returned to the capital. How can one believe that all this is just a coincidence?

That person, although he didn't know much from his own contact. But whether it is what happened to King Jing or what he has done over the years, it undoubtedly tells Huang Qiong that King Shu is definitely not the kind of person who will only sit back and wait for death and borrow wine to kill his sorrows when he is desperate. People like him, even when they are in the most desperate, will not give up the idea of making a comeback, or the idea of biting off a piece of meat from others.

What's more, judging from the emperor's practice of sending King Jing's family to himself, it is enough to show that his death, even the emperor, who is his biological father, does not believe that it is true. As the biological father of the King of Shu, the emperor who watched the King of Shu grow up and knew his character well didn't believe it, how could he easily believe that he was really dead?

The corpse in the study of the King of Shu is just a stand-in used by the cunning King of Shu to confuse the eyes of others. As for the King of Shu himself, in the fire last night, before the so-called drunkenness, he should still stay in the courtyard. But when the fire starts, it may not still be in the courtyard.

The people in the north and south of the Fu Division, the King of Shu when he was drunk may be himself. But it is very likely that the king of Shu is consciously pretending to be drunk and deliberately confusing the people who are watching him. And then no one has ever seen the King of Shu, not even his intact corpse. When everyone saw the fifth prince, all they saw was a charred corpse.

Faced with a charred corpse, in this era when there is no DNA testing and a charred corpse can only be judged by body size comparison, who can guarantee that it is me? The mere size and height of the body would prove that a fierce and cunning man was really dead. In Huang Qiong's opinion, this is simply ridiculous.

For Huang Qiong, arson itself is suspected of wanting to cover up. In this era when technology is not yet developed, a fire can cover everything. A fire is enough to destroy all the evidence. The corpses left behind, if not completely burned to ashes, were unrecognizable. And with the ability of the King of Shu, is it difficult to find a person who is about the same height and size as himself?

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong suddenly remembered that Yi Ying had said that in the courtyard of the King of Shu, there was at least one secret passage to the outside world. Every time Concubine Shen's mother and daughter met secretly with the King of Shu, they entered the other courtyard through that secret passage. If Yi Ying hadn't lied to herself, that secret passage really existed. It can be confirmed that the charred corpse could not be the king of Shu at all.

The corpse in the courtyard of the King of Shu was just a means he used to confuse others and buy himself time to escape. And during the period when the King of Shu was under house arrest, he was not really cut off from various sources. Not even necessarily, to relax the control of his hidden strength in the capital. An unknown secret passage was enough to facilitate him to do many things.

Huang Qiong believes that at least in this matter, it is already the end of the road, knowing that the backer behind her has begun to collapse, and Yi Ying, who is eager to get out, has no need to deceive herself. Thinking of Concubine Shen's mother and daughter, Huang Qiong immediately remembered what Yi Ying confessed, Concubine Shen's hand can make a person of similar height and body shape become another person in a short period of time.

I was even more sure in my heart that the person who was burned to death could not be the King of Shu. It is even possible that the people in the Nanzhen Fusi in the courtyard of the King of Shu, and the drunken King of Shu who saw it, may not be the King of Shu. The real King of Shu, I'm afraid that before the fire started, he slipped out along the secret passage. Now it is possible, they have all run out of Jingzhao Mansion.

In his fifth brother, even in the palace, he has placed people who can cover up the scandal of the Tianda Palace without a trace. When assassinating himself, he can make the means of controlling the waist card of the Crane Army left and right as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. In the capital, several city gates were guarded, and a few of their own people were inserted. And it's not too easy for these people to let a few people go in the middle of the night.

It seems that his fifth brother, in front of his emperor Lao Tzu, played a golden cicada shell for everyone in the world, plus a good show of hiding from the world. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong, who had never forgotten Chen Yao's hatred in her heart and did not intend to stop there, had no intention of continuing to bathe, and stood up and ordered to change clothes and prepare to enter the palace.

Just got up from the bathtub and hesitated slightly, Huang Qiong finally gave up the idea of entering the palace now. Since the King of Shu has played such a golden cicada shell, he will not leave any backhand. I'm afraid that at this time, he has already left the capital and is catching up. And when the emperor has already become suspicious, he will definitely send people to take a closer look.

At this time, it is a little redundant to meddle yourself. What's more, there are some things in my own right, and there are certain omissions. did not play the matter of the secret passage in the courtyard of the king of Shu to the old man in time. At that time, it was because he couldn't verify it, and he didn't want to act rashly, so as not to cause the emperor, who was already suspicious, to be suspicious of himself for no reason.

Especially when Yi Ying left and she lacked witnesses. But looking at it now, the original prudence is now quite deadly. At this time, he is at the beginning, and he can only cause more trouble. And at this time, it doesn't matter how the King of Shu runs. Judging where he will go next after leaving the capital is the key to finding him.

It's just that after he leaves the capital, will he really return to Sichuanchu? After all, where is the nest he has worked so hard to manage, no matter how powerful he is in other places, but his roots are always in Liangchuan. Except for Chuanzhong, Huang Qiong couldn't think of where he, the fifth brother, would flee to next for a while.

It is said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, this insidious and cunning King of Shu, is there really only a nest in Sichuan? If he doesn't return to Sichuan, where will he go? In this world, there is still a suitable place to be another nest for him. Huang Qiong believes that after she brought King Jing's family back to the capital, this was once a glorious person. Although he is far away in the feudal town, his prestige in the court is much higher than that of the crown prince.

Even because of his impatience and righteousness on the surface, the King of Shu, who was called a virtuous king by some courtiers, at least on the bright side of the Great Qi Dynasty, was in a place where there was no place. Unless the emperor really thinks that he is dead, it is not for anything else, but for his own country. Even if you are taking care of the face of the heavenly family, you can't pursue it openly. But in private, they will also send capable men and horses to secretly search for him everywhere.

And judging from his character, it is definitely not his style to disappear from the people. Even if the wealth he gathered was enough for him to live the rest of his life in glory and wealth, he would never do so. A person who is accustomed to rights, once he loses his rights, will never be willing to sink just like that.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have even done anything to kill his brother for the sake of a throne. In order to plant a nail in the palace, even his beloved woman will be sent to the palace. Such a person is definitely the kind of person who will never give up until the last moment of his life. Therefore, even if he escapes, he will not honestly live in seclusion and live the rest of his life.

But taking refuge in a foreign country, whether it is Northern Liao, Dali, or Tubo in the west, I am afraid that for the king of Shu, it is the next policy among the next strategies. Defecting to Northern Liao, who is evenly matched with the Great Qi, he will not have any benefit except to be a pawn at the mercy of others. It is impossible for Northern Liao to let him take charge of the army, nor can he give him any chance to establish his own power alone.

To be a chess piece that can only be passively at the mercy of others, I am afraid that it is definitely not something like him, who is accustomed to being above 10,000 people, and is even more ambitious. Unless he is really desperate, he will never choose to go to Beiliao to send people under the fence. And even if the Dali Kingdom is called lonely behind closed doors, the Great Qi Dynasty, which is far more powerful, is just a small state.

Dali had neither the strength nor the strength enough to help him continue to fight for the throne. And if you take refuge in Dali, if you don't do it that day, you will be sent back to Daqi by Dali who wants to curry favor with the Daqi Dynasty. Don't even dare, and don't want to offend Dali, when he goes to defect, whether he is willing to accept him is two different things.

As for taking refuge in Tibet, in addition to the bitter cold there, it is unbearable for ordinary people in the mainland. Now that he is already divided, the Tibetan tribes that have already set their own set of tribes do not have the strength to help him make a comeback. Defecting to Tibet, he could not bear the suffering, and he could not see hope. He has lived in Sichuan for a long time, and he probably knows better than anyone about the current situation of Dali and Tibet.

What he could have thought of, how could he not have thought of it? For a person with such huge ambitions, sending people under the fence is definitely not a good choice. But going back to Sichuan, is it a good choice for him? The old man was able to put him under house arrest in another courtyard for such a long time, with the shrewdness of his emperor Lao Tzu, Chengdu would definitely not visit secretly.

He escaped from the capital with great difficulty, and he would never fall into the net when he returned to Chengdu. Even his true foundation is in Kawanaka. But with his shrewdness, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid thing. But going north, back to the west, or even south is not a good choice. After he escapes from Jingzhao Mansion, where will he go? Huang Qiong pondered repeatedly, but she couldn't figure it out.

Although the king of Shu fled to, it was powerless for Huang Qiong. But the revenge was not avenged, but the enemy disappeared, which made Huang Qiong somewhat unacceptable. Especially after discovering that the death of the King of Shu was just a game of golden cicadas coming out of their shells. What the emperor should do and what he will do next is not something that he can control, and Huang Qiong is even more uncomfortable in her heart.

Gently squeezing a handful of water on her face, Huang Qiong, who really couldn't figure it out, simply gave up the idea of continuing to speculate for the time being. He decided to see what the emperor was going to do next, and he was making a specific decision. At this time, I have to calm down, this matter is not something I can interfere with at all. Forcibly intervening will only cause the emperor's displeasure.

Just like Gao Wuyong said, don't look for trouble at this time. The position of the prince, even if Huang Qiong doesn't like it anymore. But Huang Qiong couldn't ignore the emperor's thoughts. The king of Shu is also his son, he can fight and kill, but if others talk too much, I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy. I am afraid that the role I can play by interfering at this time will only be counterproductive.
