Chapter 65: Proving Innocence

When night came, the whole Jingchu was quiet and terrifying, and even the extremely lively Wanhualou had become cold in recent days, as if something big had happened.

In the secret room of Wanhualou, the silver-faced man said in a gloomy voice to the person standing opposite him.

"The interception and killing of King Wu and King Yue ended in failure, hehe, Chang Yi Chang Er is really enough waste, hey, it's really unfavorable for the passing years!"

"My lord, you are too careful, King Wu and Yue are generals on the battlefield, and it is normal for the assassination to fail." Opposite the silver-faced man, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old, gentle and elegant, graceful man in white was actually the uncle of the silver-faced man, the two were of the same age, they were very compatible, and they were the first confidants of the silver-faced man.

"Uncle, you said that Chang Thirteen assassinated Xiao Chenxuan's waste, and was rescued by someone failed, which is understandable. But this halfway interception, which is often one and two times, has been planned for several days, and all kinds of careful deployments have been made, but it still failed! Hehe... What kind of waste do I have! ”

"Uncle, you keep an eye on Chang Yi and Chang Er for me, they know too much, the two princes were assassinated, Chu Jing's old thing will be strictly investigated, if that old thing finds any clues, Chang Yi Chang Er is willing to cut himself to end this matter, then, give me to take care of the rest of their family, if they don't want to, then, help them, remember, be sure to clean up"

"It's the lord, at this time, King Wu and King Yue are afraid that they have suspected the King of Qi, I hope they can eat dog this time, so that it will be conducive to your great achievements, but I think that King Qi will definitely go to His Majesty to prove his innocence, I don't know if King Wu and King Yue believe him."

"Humph! Prove his innocence, who in this deep palace dares to say that he is innocent, since that old thing will let people investigate, the stabbing of his two precious sons, then let's go and help him. ”

"Oh, so how do we go about it?"

"Except for King Qi and Xiao Chenxuan, think of a way to let all the adult princes of Jing Chu be assassinated once! I'm here to see, how can I check this old thing Xiao Jing? ”

"The subordinates received the order, but all the adult princes were assassinated, don't you also include you? Will...? ”

"Hehe, since you do it, you have to make it more realistic, so that the old thing will choose to believe it."

"The lord is wise, and the disaster leads to the east, in this way, I am afraid that everyone will suspect the king of Qi and Ji! It's just that you were assassinated, and how did your mother explain it. ”

"No, if you want to achieve great things, you have to do it, and my mother will leave it to your uncle wherever it is, but don't show any clues."

King Qi's mansion, when he learned that King Wu and King Yue were assassinated, King Qi was very headache, among the princes of Jing Chu, he didn't want King Wu and King Yue to return to Beijing, but he didn't have to intercept and kill these two people! After all, if he becomes an emperor in the future, he still hopes to get the help of the two of them to help him achieve world domination.

Xu Jingye, the secretary of the ministry, also frowned, and the folding fan in his hand instigated back and forth, and then he spoke slowly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the minister thinks that what you have to do at this time is to go to Your Majesty to prove your innocence, otherwise, among all the princes, I am afraid that you are the only one who has the strength to assassinate the two kings, and it is difficult for Your Majesty not to suspect you."

After listening to Xu Jingye's words, King Qi was even more distressed, if he went to prove his innocence, would his father and King Wu Yue believe him? In this deep palace, who will believe who is innocent, but if you don't go, needless to say, whether you did it yourself or not, the anger of King Wu and King Yue will definitely take the opportunity to burn on their heads, and they have no clue about the two being intercepted and killed halfway, and I also think of who will rob and kill the two, and who among your brothers will have this strength? After thinking about it for a long time, Prince Qi didn't think of who it was, maybe it wasn't his brothers at all, but a few others who took the opportunity to provoke civil strife in Chu.

"Hey! All right! ”

King Qi sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, and then let people prepare a sedan chair, went to the palace overnight, and when he arrived at the palace, he was summoned by the emperor, and then he cautiously walked into the imperial study.

"Son-in-law, see father."

"Why are you here and can't sleep, huh?"

The news that King Wu and King Yue were intercepted and killed reached Jing Chu as soon as possible, and naturally Emperor Chu was the first to learn.

Emperor Chu who heard the information was very angry, and he also suspected his son Xiao Chenlong, the king of Qi, for the first time, but sent people to inquire in many ways, and the king of Qi has not been abnormal recently, and Emperor Chu's doubts have been dissipated a little.

Emperor Chu thought that his sons had been assassinated one after another, he was speechless, he was not dead, his sons began to be unable to sit still, this kind of fratricidal can be done, Emperor Chu was very disappointed in his sons, and asked King Qi directly.

"Asking to see me in the middle of the night, do you know that someone sent someone to intercept and kill the third and fourth children halfway? It can't be you! ”

Hearing that his father doubted himself and asked him directly, King Qi replied bluntly.

"Father, if it is a son-in-law, and will definitely say that they hinder the way for the son-in-law to compete for the crown prince, but the son-in-law knows very well that the third brother and the fourth brother are the pillars of my Chu royal family, and the delicate ones on the battlefield are the two indispensable talents of my Chu royal family.

Emperor Chu just looked at King Qi for a while, and sighed.

"My Chu Jing has a bright and upright life, and the establishment of the Chu State can be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, but I didn't expect to give birth to a group of unfilial sons, and I can do such things as fratricide, how sad it is! It's chilling! Maybe one day, your brother will fall on my head for the sake of my position? Well? Sibling brothers, you have been guarding the frontier for many years, you don't think of family affection and take the initiative to greet you, and you still make this kind of halfway interception, how do you say that I can trust your brothers, and how can I rest assured that the throne will be passed on to you in the future. ”

King Qi was frightened by Emperor Chu's words, and immediately knelt down, lay on the ground, and whispered. "Erchen don't dare, since ancient times, filial piety and loyalty, sons, they remember, never dare to forget, if that younger brother does something wrong, please ask the father to punish the son, it is the son's failure to do a good job of a brother's duties, alienate them."

"Hmph." After Emperor Chu snorted coldly, he ignored the King of Qi who was kneeling on the ground, sat down alone, and began to disclose the chapter, and only after a stick of incense did Emperor Chu speak.

"Get up when you're almost on your knees! What do you think about the robbery and murder of the third and fourth children? ”

"This..."

"Be outspoken, and I will be innocent."

King Qi was pardoned, so he slowly got up, and after kneeling for too long, he just came together, and fell to the ground again, and then said after getting up.

"Father, there is a shadow of Liang Jun on the third brother's side, could it be that other countries want to provoke internal strife in our Chu, so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Emperor Chu directly glanced at King Qi.

"Hmph, they are still taking advantage of the fisherman, and there is no inside line, how can they enter my Chu country? You've read all these years of military books in vain. ”

"Spread my will, with the White Cavalry Division and Dali Temple quickly detecting the interception and killing of King Wu and Yue, and you, in order to fulfill your brother's responsibility, think about it! When they come back, you take the brothers to meet them outside the city, okay, go down!. ”

"Thank you, Father." Punishing yourself for thinking about it, does this mean believing in yourself in disguise?
