Chapter 258: The Thorn in My Heart
"During that time, because I was getting closer and closer, my father and mother often invited me into the palace, and often left me to live in the palace. Every time I enter the palace, I will try to have a tryst with her. Even if I can't really lose my soul, as long as I can hold her in my arms, I will be satisfied. Although the rules in the palace are strict, I am the concubine of the middle palace, and there are eunuchs who dare to take care of me? β
"It wasn't until before I went to the domain, during a tryst, that she told me that she was pregnant. Although she was under my care at that time, she had become more and more favored, and her father invited her to sleep more often. But the eunuchs beside my father have already been bought by me, and they have never left a dragon seed. So I know that the child in her womb is mine. β
Speaking of this, King Jing smiled bitterly: "I thought I was doing things secretly, but I didn't expect to be discovered." In my second year of existence, the year the child in her womb was born, a man came to me with a letter. When I saw the letter, I was dumbfounded. On the letter, I had a tryst with her several times, and all of them were clearly written in any place. β
There was also the confession of the eunuch next to Concubine Shen at that time, as well as the eunuch in the respectful room. Even when I had sex with Concubine Shen, I used several postures to explain in detail. For the safety of their mother and son, I can only accept that person's coercion. I have already conquered Zhengzhou, although the capital still has a certain amount of power. But not only is the whip beyond reach, but the power in the palace is not as great as you think. β
"Out of helplessness, your second brother and I, who have not been controlled by others all my life, can only bow down and accept his coercion. What else can I do? If this matter is set off, it will definitely be a big palace scandal. His son had no fornication with his concubine, and he also gave birth to a son. Not only did their father's face look gloomy, but the two of them had only a dead end. β
"At the beginning, he was still a little restrained, and just used me to come forward to fight the prince in the ring. I've been doing this for a long time, and although his requests are a bit excessive, I don't really care too much. Later, he slowly installed a private person around me and monitored me anytime and anywhere. Even later, most of the eunuchs and guards around me were replaced by him. β
"The private soldiers I hid north of the Yellow River were also found out by him and planted people to control them. Even in my name, I recruited people from the rivers and lakes, and trained and formed a battalion of the 13th Iron Guard to carry out assassination activities for him. At that time, the assassin who assassinated the Ninth Brother was personally selected by him from the 13th Battalion of the Iron Guard. β
"Since the queen mother was critically ill at the beginning of this year, he suddenly clamped my control. Although there is no restraint in life, if it were not for the nod of the person he sent to be in charge of the affairs by my side, I would not even have the freedom to leave the house. Even in this rebellion, I didn't know what he was going to do until I was taken out of Zhengzhou. I'm nominally the lord of the rebels, but I can't do anything. β
"But he underestimated me too much. Do you really think that sending someone to replace most of the guards and eunuchs around me with his people, and controlling all the income in my house, as well as my hidden private soldiers, can really play me in the palm of your hand? Hehe, he also saw me as too simplistic. β
"He can control my income, but it is the rent of the land in the name of King Jingfu. Those land rents add up to a lot of annual income, but for Jingwangfu, it is only a drop in the dime. Together, the land rents are only enough to attract officials every year. The rest is just enough to send monthly examples to the subordinates of King Jing's Mansion. β
"As for the human hand, he knows that all the eggs cannot be put on one plate, so why don't I? Although he controls most of my manpower, I have some secret manpower that he doesn't know. It's a pity that my hidden manpower is still limited, and when I cleared his 13th Iron Guard Battalion, although some measures were taken, the losses were still too great. β
"As for the 30,000 private soldiers, you also saw what it was. Originally, my method was based on 2,000 people, gradually growing little by little, and co-opting and fully supporting a group of young military attachΓ©s. Anyway, my father is still victorious, and I still have plenty of time. As long as my father doesn't find out, give me ten years, and I'm sure to develop a team of 50,000 irons. β
Speaking of this, King Jing looked at the sunset outside the big tent, which had dyed half of the sky red at this time, raised his wine glass and drank it, then sighed and said, "It's a pity that all my plans were ruined in his hands." Although he has been planning this rebellion for a long time, he only used it to completely stink the reputation of me and Duanwang, and he never thought of success at all. β
"This rebellion, whatever the outcome? It is impossible for me and Duanwang to step into the capital. Even if he is lucky enough to succeed, all that awaits the two of us is a glass of poisoned wine. Borrowing a knife to kill people, he is not playing an ordinary slip. Just like when you were assassinated, he can make everyone think that it was the prince's hand. β
"Actually, our eldest brother, although narrow-minded and intolerant, grew up under the strict discipline of his father. If my father is not there, he will never scruple in doing things, and he will treat us brothers mercilessly. But as long as his father is still there, he will be restrained. β
"Poisoning things that he thought were hidden, and he did it with ease. But if he used such a thing as a public assassination, he would still have too many scruples. Especially in the capital, he may plan very thoroughly, but if it is really time to act, he will be a little careless. The prince is not so bold. β
"Your assassination is nothing more than him borrowing a knife to kill people and diverting everyone's attention to the crown prince. Because the battle between me and King Duan and our eldest brother is far more fierce than that of your kid. But we're all fighting in private, and none of us would be stupid enough to put that on the table. Because we all know where the bottom line of the father is. β
"As long as you kid, you actually came to do the opposite, openly and openly under the banner of asking for the people's life, don't say anything about his whole gray face, and he can't even let out a fart. And we all know who he is. If something happens to you, our prince who will report flaws will be the first to escape the object of suspicion. β
"You know, you kid not only made him disgraced, but also drove his number one cadre and the most important henchman in his position out of the capital. Do you know how much effort he put in to compete for this Jing Zhaoyin back then. Whether you have it intentionally or unintentionally, he will not count this account on someone else's head. β
"Such a good opportunity, how can that person let it go? He doesn't like to come forward in person, but he is a little happy to kill people with a knife. Of course, when it comes to the critical moment, he will not care about the matter of getting off the donkey. As long as he can get rid of his opponent, even if it is to smear a stain on his opponent, he will always be too little, not too much. β
"What's more, your kid was already at the beginning of his life. That Jing Zhaoyin, we exhausted all our means, but we couldn't pull him down, but you easily got out of the capital with the help of the banner of asking for his life in the name. And his power in the capital is more powerful and huge than that of the crown prince. If your kid also targeted him, wouldn't he be quite taboo? β
"In addition, although he didn't necessarily see you as an opponent at that time, Concubine Jing behind you definitely made him feel very threatened. What kind of person is Concubine Jing, although she has lived in the cold palace for more than ten years, she has not asked about the world for more than ten years. But normal people with some brains, except for Concubine De's mother and son, who dares to ignore anyone who is a little ambitious? β
"Getting rid of you in the name of the crown prince means getting rid of a hidden opponent, and transferring Concubine Jing's attention to the prince. If Concubine Jing really makes a move, the prince will have to peel off the skin if he doesn't die. Even if he can't really abolish the position of the crown prince, he is happy to see the strength of the crown prince weakened. That's why your kid was assassinated. β
Speaking of this, King Jing stopped the topic. Although he is located in Zhengzhou, King Jing knows everything about Huang Qiong's performance after his assassination. Regarding the relationship between Huang Qiong and his Mrs. Chen, he is even more aware of the abnormality. He brought up the old thing again, just to stimulate this ninth brother and see what he was like. I also want to touch how deep this ninth brother's city is.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that after listening to the so-called secret in his mouth, Huang Qiong's face was always calm. didn't know that Huang Qiong was not the prince who was the real culprit behind his assassination, and King Jing, who had already expected it, was not an ordinary disappointment.
In fact, Huang Qiong's current mood is by no means as light as it appears on the surface, King Jing's words have set off great waves in his heart. In the case of his own assassination, although his second brother was not the main messenger behind the scenes. But it is obvious that King Jing not only knows the inside story, but also knows the real murderer. Chen Yao's death is a thorn in Huang Qiong's heart that can never be pulled out.
Since her accident in her previous life, Huang Qiong no longer believes in repaying grievances with virtue. He will not use the life of the beloved woman and his unformed child as a bargaining chip to get the support of some people. This is not possible even for his emperor Lao Tzu. If you can't avenge the woman you love and the child, how can you be called a man and a husband?
It's just that now he is limited by his strength, and he can only endure it now. There was a knife on the head of the word ninja, even if the knife was stimulating his heart and dripping blood all the time, he could only endure it. He knows that he doesn't have the strength to compete with the mastermind behind the scenes, and he doesn't even have the ability to find out who the mastermind is now, so he has been choosing to be silently patient.
On the walls of Miyagi that day, he understood and understood the real meaning of what the old man said to himself. He knew that the old man's words that day were not telling him about his own past. Rather, it was telling him that there are things to learn to endure. When you can't bear it, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. Those who have achieved great things must endure things that ordinary people cannot endure.
Although Huang Qiong wanted to ask King Jing, who was the mastermind behind the plot to kill people with a knife, assassinate himself, and then blame the crown prince, and even control his dignified prince? But after pondering slightly, Huang Qiong still endured it. As his second brother, he didn't hear some of the meanings in his words. He's agitating himself, and now he's going to get into a fight with that guy.
But do you really have that strength now? That person can manipulate a prince in the palm of his hand, and his strength can be seen in general. If this is also the case with Duanwang, then his strength is even more terrifying. If you really tear off your arms and do a big job, I'm afraid you won't even get the result of losing both.
It was precisely because he understood the meaning of King Jing's words, so Huang Qiong did not answer in this matter. However, King Jing looked at Huang Qiong's flat expression, but smiled and said, "What? The second brother doesn't believe these words, the ninth brother doesn't believe it? Or do you think that the second brother and I, who are talking to the ninth brother today, have ulterior motives? β
