Chapter 403: Chess Pieces (Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The city in the twilight was quiet, and the only sound on the street was the footsteps of the soldiers patrolling the streets, and the occasional sound of the guns hitting the cartridges and scabbards.
Herat, a small mountain town in Afghanistan that was once unknown, is still unknown to the outside world, at most known to the nearby mountains, and is home to a brutal group of pigtailed soldiers. Braided soldiers can be seen everywhere in the city, both day and night.
And outside the small palace in the center of the city, which once belonged to the city lord, a burst of pigtailed soldiers with loaded guns looked around with vigilant eyes from time to time, and as soon as the wind blew and moved, no one would suspect that they would immediately pounce on it. Without exception, they all wore yellow coats that symbolized the status of the imperial guards.
While these high-profile imperial guards stood guard in front of the palace, in the dimly lit palace, the light of the oil lamps reflected the intricate decoration of the palace, and a young man paced back and forth on the thick carpet.
What the hell is going on?
Countless questions emerged in Yinren's heart, and in the end, these questions all came down to one question - what was Huang Ama thinking?
After a long silence, frowning, Yinren looked towards the window full of celestial patterns, his eyes full of doubt.
"Mingzhu, why did my father send such a will?"
Just a few hours earlier, he had received the will of his father, and the will brought by the carrier pigeon did not bring him the slightest comfort, as usual, but stunted him like a dull stick on the head.
How so?
Is Huang Ama confused?
He is the crown prince of the Great Qing Kingdom. Why should you listen to Jieshu?
"Your Royal Highness, this matter is indeed strange, when he left Beijing, the emperor had a will, is to let Prince Li to obey the orders of the prince, and this is also the duty of a courtier, His Royal Highness is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, even if Prince Li is a prince, but he is just a prince, the minister is a minister, the king is a king, this is the most common respect between heaven and earth. It is a matter of course for the ministers to obey the king, but now the master's will is for the prince to obey the prince, which is ......"
Shaking his head incessantly, Mingzhu put on a look that he couldn't figure it out. Then he said with a frown.
"There's no reason for that!"
The incomprehensible pearl has more unprecedented fear in the depths of his heart. Although he had already thought of a plan, he didn't expect the emperor to take the initiative to cooperate with him so much.
The emperor's will came at the right time. But why did the emperor make such a will?
Although I can't figure it out, Mingzhu is exactly what I need.
"It's not just unreasonable, the king obeys the orders of the ministers, it's a big rebellion at all!"
Wang Yukun said angrily.
"Master, how could the master have such a will!"
Suddenly, he said "ahhh It's like I suddenly figured something out.
"Isn't it, is it ...... The emperor, the emperor ......"
Wang Yukun's expression became frightened, he looked at Mingzhu in horror, and he couldn't speak for a long time. His lips trembled, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled.
"Wang Yukun, what are you, what are you talking about?"
Yinren looked at Wang Yukun puzzled, as if he wanted to understand what he was talking about. And Mingzhu seemed to have heard what he wanted to say, and he was also shocked. He exclaimed.
"Wang Yukun, you can't talk nonsense!"
After shouting these words, Mingzhu's face also turned pale, so that his voice was a little strange, all of which looked like he was also frightened.
"Mingzhu, Wang Yukun, what do you mean?"
Yinren, who is the crown prince, seems to have guessed what Wang Yukun is thinking at this time.
If they can't guess what they thought at this time, I'm afraid that he, the prince, will be in vain for so many years.
"No, it can't be, Huang Ama can't be coerced to make such a will!"
After guessing what they were thinking, his face also became extremely ugly.
It's impossible. It is impossible for Huang Ama to do this.
But, but ...... Huang Ama, why did he think of this will?
Just as Yinren muttered to himself, not believing that Huang Ama would do this, Mingzhu on the side sighed solemnly.
"The master cares about the heavens of the Great Qing Kingdom!"
Such a seemingly headless sentence came into Yinren's ears, making his face instantly pale, without the slightest blood, his lips trembled slightly, and when he looked at Mingzhu, his eyes were full of fear.
I care about the world of the Qing Dynasty!
Why does Pearl say that?
As the crown prince, Yinren has been exposed to many power struggles. For Huang Ama in Jingnan, he did not have many choices, if Prince Li threatened to stand still, Huang Ama would definitely make many concessions for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.
In Huang Ama's heart, he, the crown prince, may be far less important than the world of the Great Qing Kingdom. In between, Huang Ama would 100% choose to keep the Qing Dynasty.
After all, for Huang Ama, the death of one of his sons did not have the slightest impact on the Great Qing Kingdom, after all, he still had more than a dozen sons.
But what about the world of the Great Qing Kingdom?
"But, but ......"
Yinren couldn't figure out why, why did Huang Ama give in? Even after the concession, what can Jieshu get?
Despite figured out the lie? will sacrifice himself to keep the world of the Great Qing Kingdom, but he can't figure out what benefits Jieshu can get from it?
"What good does Prince Li do to him?"
Who would do something that is not good for them. Jieshu is so shrewd. Without great benefits, how could he possibly do such a thing?
"Your Highness, Jingnan is still waiting for Prince Li to relieve the siege!"
Suddenly, Wang Yukun's inadvertent reminder made Yinren's back break out in a cold sweat, and he looked at Wang Yukun in horror, his eyes full of horror.
"You, you mean that Prince Li doesn't want to break the siege, but, but ......"
The things that he couldn't figure out before, he had figured it out at this time, and he seemed to understand, and understood why Prince Li would force Huang Ama to make such a will.
He wants to seek power and usurp the throne!
"In any case, it is impossible for Prince Li to go to Jingnan, he used his troops to force Huang Ama to make such a will, he, he wants to usurp the throne! This, this traitor! ”
Yinren said angrily, at this time he couldn't wait to cut Jieshu with a knife.
However, I thought that Jieshu commanded the southern garrison flag battalion. Despite the anger in his heart, he quickly calmed down.
Then, he looked at Mingzhu and Wang Yukun again.
"Mingzhu, Wang Yukun, you are all the ministers of the bones sent by Huang Ama to the palace, and please help the palace!"
As he spoke, Yinren waved at Mingzhu and Wang Yukun again. He has always trusted the two of them very much, and at this time, only the two of them can give him ideas.
"Your Highness, how dare the minister be a ......?"
While kneeling down and kowtowing to return the salute, Mingzhu and Wang Yukun glanced at each other, and then Wang Yukun shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, things have come to this point, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that even if I have the heart, I am powerless."
As soon as he heard this, Yinren was stupid.
Okay.
Is there really nothing there is going to be for the two of them?
If the two of them have no way to help him escape the current predicament, I am afraid that not only will the Qing Dynasty be usurped by the rebellious ministers and thieves, but even his life as the crown prince may not be saved.
Yinren saw the two of them kneeling there like this, his eyes were also wandering, and he was full of unhappiness. I thought to myself:
Could it be that you also saw this will, and you want to be a rebellious minister and thief with Jieshu?
Do you still have me as a prince in your eyes?
I'm afraid it's gone, after all, when it comes to Jieshu, they will also be reused!
For them, it doesn't make a difference who will be the emperor in the future, anyway, Jieshu will also reuse them. So why should they take the risk on their own?
Suddenly, Yinren regretted it, regretting why he told the two of them about it, and now they know the will of Huang Ama, and they can use that will to obey Jieshu's orders logically.
As for him, the crown prince, I'm afraid he won't live long, and when Jingnan City is broken, I'm afraid it will be when he loses his head, and even before that, he may "fall" from the horse and "fall" his head.
No, you have to think of a fold!
You can't just lose your life in vain.
Thinking so in his heart, Yinren didn't have a seizure because of his speculation, but instead put on the appearance of a corporal Lixian, and picked up Mingzhu intimately and asked:
"Mingzhu, count it up, you are the elder of the main hall, you must help me in this matter!"
At this time, there is only one way to play the emotional card.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......"
Mingzhu takes a look, yo! The prince's face was not good. He knew that the prince must be beginning to suspect everything by now, and if he didn't give him an explanation, maybe he would have him pushed out and beheaded.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Mingzhu put on a rather embarrassed look and said:
"Back to the prince's words, the minister did not dare to disobey the prince's order. It's just that there is the will of the master here, and this thing, this thing.........
Yinren interrupted him before he could finish his words:
"Mingzhu, the palace knows, you must want to say that this is the emperor's will, you are a slave, you must obey the emperor's will, but this is a chaotic fate, this is the will of Jieshu to persecute Huang Ama, when he left Beijing, how did Huang Ama explain? It's not that you haven't heard, if it weren't for Jieshu's threat to rescue Jingnan, how could Huang Ama give such a will? ”
Yinren knew that these few words alone would definitely not convince Mingzhu, and just when he wanted to continue, he only heard Mingzhu say.
"Your Highness, the minister didn't want to say this, what the minister wanted to say was, why did the master make such a will, in the final analysis, isn't it because Jieshu has 100,000 horses? Without these horses, what would Jie Shu do to threaten his master? It's not that the master doesn't know what Jieshu wants to do, but the master has no way, after all, Jingnan is pointing towards these 100,000 horses, but what does Jieshu want? ”
When Wang Yukun saw Mingzhu say this, he thought of the idea agreed by the two people before, so he also said on the side.
"Alas, yes, Your Highness, what Jieshu wants is the emperor's will, with this will, whether to go to Jingnan or not, it is not his consideration, he even looks forward to the destruction of Jingnan City, and then logically takes over the world, as for His Royal Highness...... When the time comes, hey......"
After a long sigh, Wang Yukun closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to say more, but everyone knew what he wanted to say, and when the time came, there was only a dead end waiting for Yinren!
Of course, it's not the same as Pearl. He really thought that the prince had no other choice, and he really thought that the prince would definitely lose his life.
Thinking of the emperors and princes who lost their lives inexplicably in the hands of the ministers in the dead tree, Yinren's heart sank, looked at the two of them and said:
"Didn't the Emperor Ama see this? And he did not know, this, this will be for the life of this temple? ”
Yinren's tone was complaining, even dissatisfied. Can't Huang Ama see such an obvious thing? Could it be that for Huang Amma, he, the crown prince, is simply a pawn that can be discarded at any time?
It seems that this is the case.
For Huang Ama, the crown prince is just one of the sons. This son died, and he had many more sons.
This is Huang Ama.
Thinking through everything, he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart.
"Alas, in the master's heart, the world of the Great Qing Kingdom is the most important."
Mingzhu shook her head, and then said.
"Even if the master sees through Jieshu's wolf ambitions, he also knows that with this will, Jieshu may not necessarily rescue Jingnan, and even laugh at Jingnan falling into the hands of the enemy, but the master will still make such a will, because the master, the master knows, even if there is no will, Jieshu will still usurp the throne, and will still do things that are not subordinate, when the time comes, we will definitely fight to defend His Highness, the two tigers will fight, and in the end, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will take advantage, so ......"
Shaking his head and sighing, Mingzhu's words paused.
"The master made this will, in the final analysis, the master is concerned about the world!"
In other words, his son doesn't matter at all!
Yinren's mind was extremely low, he opened his mouth, did not speak immediately, and then thought for a moment before looking at Mingzhu and sighing.
"In that case, then, take off the head of the main hall and send it to Jieshu!"
"Ah......h
Mingzhu and Wang Yukun were both startled, and the two of them looked at the prince in fear and muttered.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why do you say this!"
"Mingzhu, Wang Yukun, you are all people around the palace, this, the palace can no longer use you, you take the head of the palace, think about it, think about it, Jieshu will definitely reuse you, also, it can be regarded as our main minister, give you two a little explanation in the future......"
