Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

The Emperor looked at the newspaper in his hand with trembling hands, slammed it to the ground, and knocked everything on the table to the ground.

"Rebel, rebel!"

After finishing speaking, he coughed violently, and when Wu Sangui saw it, he immediately rushed up: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, take care of the dragon body, take care of the dragon body!" ”

The emperor was supported by Wu Sangui and slowly sat on the chair, some eyes looked at the top blankly, millions of people died because of the epidemic, if it was controlled in time, maybe only tens of thousands of people died, but because of the collusion between Yu Tai and Wang Dong, the population of Shannan Province was halved, and it will take a hundred years to recover.

"What the hell have I done wrong to punish me like this!"

The emperor was a little broken in his heart, Yu Zhiqian was his favorite prince, and the same was true for the second child, he demoted the second child to the king of Yidu County, part of the reason was to protect the second child, in the battle for the throne, although it seems that he is biased a lot, but in private understanding, the emperor can be sure that the second child has completely fought the boss, although it seems that Yu Zhiqian is harmless to people and animals.

But in the army, some ministers in the court are close to Yu Zhiqian, and although the second child is liked by some old ministers of Taixue, it seems that there are many powerful people, but they have no real power, and the most important thing is that many neutral ministers still prefer the inheritance of the eldest son in their hearts, so after the second child had an accident, the emperor immediately demoted the second child to the king of the county, just hoping that he could live a stable life.

But I didn't expect the second child to be able to do such a hurtful thing and cause millions of people to suffer, the prince's recital has been written very clearly, I hope it can ......

"Biography, Liu Guifei's godson has no way, and she will enter the cold palace!"

Wu Sangui was stunned, at first he thought that the emperor was so angry because of His Royal Highness the Prince, but he didn't expect it to be the second prince, after hearing the order, he immediately trotted out of the hall to announce the decree, and when the door of the hall was closed, the emperor once again overturned the table in front of him.

"Why, why, why is this rebel, haven't you always prided yourself to be extremely smart? Why do you do it so stupidly! ”

"Rebel son, rebel son, it is the father who wants to save you, but how does the father of the people in this world explain, and how does the father of the Manchu Dynasty explain it!"

The emperor shouted hoarsely in the main hall, and the guards around the main hall shivered in unison when they heard it, as if they had heard something that they should not have heard.

When the queen arrived at the main hall, she found the emperor sitting on the steps of the main hall with a decadent face, and immediately hurried up to greet her: "Ah Lang, why are you doing this!" ”

After speaking, he took the emperor into his arms.

The emperor looked at the empress, got up slowly, got up from the ground, and then picked up Yu Zhiqian's piece from a pile of miscellaneous items, and then picked it up and handed it to the empress: "Empress, take a look!" ”

After the emperor took the recital, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back: "Is this true? It can't be a piece written by the boss to frame the second one! ”

The emperor showed a wry smile on his face: "I also think that this is the boss's order to frame the second child, in this case, I can hold the boss accountable, but the second child is not guilty to death, but this is true!" ”

"Ah Lang, you can't let the boss kill the second child, Ah Lang, the boss can't use his own brother's blood on his hands!"

When the emperor saw that Yu Zhiqian wanted to apply for the killing of the second child in the end, he immediately became anxious, from ancient times to the present, the throne has been contested, but the victor has never killed his brother openly, if the boss opens this head, I am afraid that the battle for the throne of the Yutang Empire in the future may become more bloody.

"I know that I have ordered the prince to capture the second child alive, and I will handle the rest of the matter!"

The emperor said softly, yes, the crown prince can't have the blood of his own brother in his hands, but as a father, can he be stained with the blood of his son.

"Ah Lang, can the second child not die? Degrade him to a concubine and imprison him for life, and I will go to the boss and say that the boss listens to me the most, and the boss will definitely not ......"

The emperor glanced at the empress, did not speak, and stretched out his hand: "Empress, I am tired, go and rest!" After the queen saw it, she held the emperor's hand and slowly walked out of the hall, in the hall, the sun that had been slanting to the west had begun to set slowly, and the gorgeous morning sun on the horizon was dyed red......

Xiangyang City, Yu Zhiqian sat in the middle of the hall in armor, surrounded by Chen Qingzhi, Li Sheng, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Xu Zhu, Xue Rengui and other generals sitting aside, Yu Zhiqian pointed to the map in his hand: "Yidu is here, Yiling County, Xiazhou, only four hundred miles away from Xiangyang City, according to the report of the secret agent, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Yidu has blocked all entrances and exits, prohibiting people from entering and leaving!" ”

Yu Zhiqian drew a circle on Yidu, although Yidu, the fiefdom of the second child, now looks like some birds don't, but it is also a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, the gateway of the Three Gorges, and it is also a land of fish and rice, but now the entire Shannan Road has been plagued by the second child, and Yidu is no better.

"Yidu has a population of 270,000, about 80,000 households, this is the data of two years ago, and it is not clear how many people there are now, but Xiangyang must have the eyeliner of the king of Yidu, in order to prevent the king of Yidu from jumping over the wall in a hurry, this time we must keep it secret, and we must not leak any news before entering the territory of Yidu!"

After Yu Zhiqian swept around, the group of generals nodded.

"Now Your Majesty's will has not yet arrived, but it can't be delayed, and the late ones will change, and the palace will order ......"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, the King of Yidu County is your younger brother, you better wait for Your Majesty's will!"

Yu Zhiqian escaped with the gold medal: "The palace has the gold medal in hand, you can act expediently, this matter is plague, the king of Yidu not only does not save the people, but also raises prices......"

All the generals were silent, they were in Shannan Road, they felt very deeply, they saw with their own eyes a village extinction, no one survived, and they also saw the quarantine area fall in pieces every day, all of them did not have any sympathy for the second prince, and even some people wanted to immediately divide the second prince's body, but after all, it was the second prince!

"Chen Qingzhi, tonight, you lead the troops out of the camp, Li Sheng, you leave the camp tomorrow night......"

Yu Zhiqian's orders were passed down one by one, just to prevent the movement of the army from being discovered, once it reached the ears of the second child, Yu Zhiqian was worried that the second dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, and directly lead people to rebel, and millions of people had already died under the plague, and Yu Zhiqian was afraid that if he experienced another war, Shannan Province would not be able to recover for a hundred years.

Soon, the entire six rates began to act, and Xue Rengui and others closely guarded Yu Zhiqian, these people were all after Yu Zhiqian came to Shannan Road, the emperor sent people to protect Yu Zhiqian, but now he can stay as a leading general, it seems that Yu Zhiqian is the most important general......

It was night, Chen Qingzhi set off with a large army towards Yidu, marched thirty miles overnight, after dawn, began to camp, now there is no worry about someone snooping on the camp, now there are no pedestrians in the entire Shannan Road, if there are people, they can be found far away.

Day and night, about three days later, arrived at the boundary of Yidu, but Chen Qingzhi did not act rashly, but was waiting for Yu Zhiqian, and the order he received was to close to the territory of Yidu, prohibit people from entering and leaving, and wait for the follow-up.

Three days later, Yu Zhiqian followed the army to Yidu, and like Chen Qingzhi, he went out day and night, but he had already reached the boundary of Yidu, so there was no need to hide his whereabouts.

"Flags, hot air balloons take off, are leaflets ready? If the king of Yidu County resists stubbornly, the hot air balloon will immediately take off and drop leaflets! ”

"Whoa!"

Soon, a team of people and horses walked out of the woods, assembled, and the big four-clawed dragon flag was raised, and all the generals also raised their general flags on behalf of themselves, and galloped quickly towards Yidu along the official road.

"Second Highness, it's not good, the prince's soldiers and horses have already entered!"

In the palace of Yidu County, Qin Hui rushed into Yu Tai's study in a panic.

"What's the panic, how many people are here?"

The second child glanced up at Qin Hui and snorted coldly, while Wang Dong not far away was a little nervous.

"I don't know, the spy just saw it from afar, so he came back immediately to report, he saw the four-clawed flag!"

"Huh? Big brother is leading the troops? Just in time! ”

The second prince's face sank, the eldest brother came, and he didn't have to rack his brains to think about how to kill his eldest brother, and as long as the eldest brother entered the city, he let the knife and axe man ambush and kill the eldest brother, when the time came!

When he thought of this, the second prince turned his head to look at Wang Dong, his father-in-law is a good back-ermother.

"Your Royal Highness, in case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to ask the teacher about the crime, I have to guard against it!"

Yu Tai smiled: "Xingshi asks for guilt? What sin am I? This plague, the counties of Shannan Province, the counties have suffered heavy losses, only I have no epidemic in Yidu County, I have prevented and controlled the epidemic properly, this is a credit, what is the crime? ”

"But?"

After Qin Hui finished speaking, he looked at Wang Dong.

Wang Dong was taken aback: "Second Highness, rest assured, when I came to Yidu, I met everyone on the road, all of them!" No one will know that I am coming to Yidu! After saying that, he made a throat-slitting gesture to indicate that there was no living mouth.

"That's good, there is no need to worry about the father-in-law, even if the father is held responsible, the king will protect you!"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Xie!"

"No need to be polite!"

The second child squinted his eyes and thought for a while, looked at Qin Hui's anxious expression, and thought for a while: "But the prince is not good, we can't sit still, inform Wei Yan to close the city gate, no one is allowed to enter, you follow me to the city wall to take a look, what is the eldest brother going to do!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Uncle Yue, you just stay in the mansion and don't move around at will, when this matter passes, this king will take care of you!"

"His Royal Highness Xie Er!"

After Wang Dong left, Yu Tai's eyes immediately changed, and he approached Qin Hui: "Let the dead soldiers prepare, ambush in the middle of the avenue, and if you wait for the eldest brother to enter the city with me, I will immediately send someone to cover up and kill!" ”

After Qin Hui heard this, his legs were almost frightened, and he looked at Yu Tai: "Second, Second Highness, you, you, you are, this is going to rebel!" ”

Yu Tai looked at Qin Hui: "What?" Don't you dare? ”

"Your Highness, the old slave, the old slave swears to follow His Highness, go down the knife mountain, go to the oil pot, and do not give up!"

Yu Tai looked at Qin Hui's nervous appearance and patted him on the shoulder with his hand: "Don't worry, I just killed my eldest brother, and my father won't blame me, where are we now?" ”

Qin Hui didn't understand what Yu Tai meant, and said tremblingly: "Yidu! ”

"Yes, the king of Yidu County, my father demoted me from the king of Wei to the king of Yidu County, Yidu, Yidu, Yidu, Yidu! Isn't it obvious enough? ”

After Qin Hui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy, as if it was really like this.

"And do you think that even if I kill my eldest brother, who among our brothers will inherit the throne? Does my father want the country to fall into the hands of others? ”

"Your Highness said yes!"

Qin Hui was very sure in his heart, the second prince is not a prince, he thought that things could be thought about so comprehensively, and he didn't expect that there would be such a meaning.

The second prince took people and walked on the city wall of Yidu, Yidu is a county, under Yiling County, the place is not big, but on the edge of the Yangtze River, the land is still fertile, as long as the second child does not die and develops himself in this place, it is not impossible to live a free king.

Yu Zhiqian led the army into the territory of Yidu, and found that it was different from the rest of the places, at least in the territory of Yidu, there were no dead bodies everywhere, and Yu Zhiqian did not send troops into Yidu before, because he was worried about touching the sensitive nerves of the second child.

"Your Royal Highness, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Yidu closed the road and completely did not allow the displaced people to enter, plus Wang Dong was very aware of the outbreak of the plague and notified the second prince in advance, so Yidu is in the territory!"

Yu Zhiqian nodded, glanced at the surrounding fields, many farmers were harvesting grain, and after seeing the army, they all dodged, Yu Zhiqian frowned: "Why are the people so afraid of us?" ”

"Your Highness, this ......"

Jing Ke told all the things after the second child came to Yidu, and the angry Yu Zhiqian's hands were exposed, this second child is really ......

Yu Zhiqian took a deep breath to calm his mood and let himself not be angry, the second child was already finished, and there was no need for him to worry so much about a dead person.

Yu Tai was demoted to the king of Yidu County, the entire Yidu is regarded as the fief of the second child, and the second is the prince, after coming here, it can be said that he covered the sky with one hand, and the history of Shannan Dao is his father-in-law, even more like a tiger with wings, first all the officials in Yidu were replaced by his subordinates, and then began to collect money on a large scale, adding more than ten harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Now the people in the entire Yidu territory hate Yu Tai to the core, but the entire Yidu officials are Yu Tai's subordinates, and no one has reported these situations to the top, if it weren't for this plague problem, Yu Tai would have stood on his own in Yidu, and the imperial court might not know.

ps: The chapter name is unexpectedly such a coincidence!
