Chapter 445: Ten Years Old
What else do you say in order not to miss the government? Hum...... If you really want to miss the government, how can you go to find Prince Yue? I'm afraid that the folds handed over will be like salt sprinkled into the well, and I won't even see a splash.
Wait, the prince is seriously injured, and the prince is demented, so there must be someone who threads the needle in the middle.
Who could it be?
Ye Zhiqiu stood aside, neither discussing nor questioning, just turned around and glanced at Pei Ran in the distance gently.
At that glance, Pei Ran knew what it meant.
He had no choice but to step forward and say, "The ministers are respectfully obeying His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Hanyuan Hall was silent for a moment, and then immediately there was a whisper.
"Master Pei really loves to be a bird. At this time, I don't forget to show my face. ”
"I'm afraid that his face is exposed, and the demented prince may not be able to remember what he looks like."
"Hey, have you heard? When the Dragon Scale Army raided the house last night, Master Pei seemed to be there. ”
"He's there...... It's clear that he led the Dragon Scale Army! I saw it all in the cracks in the wall! ”
"Yes, yes, I heard him call the door in the middle of the night."
"It turned out that he was messing around...... Most of them have given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a lot of other ideas, right? ”
"That's ...... I bumped into him yesterday afternoon and took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the house. As a result, this happened at night, think about it, could it not be that he is blowing the wind in the ears of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
Ye Zhiqiu stood there with satisfaction and smiled slightly.
This Pei Ran, who is still familiar with each other, knows that he should block for himself.
Hundreds of officials have different opinions, but they are all secretly discussed. There is no real evidence, and they dare not raise their voices to question, which is pure rabble.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't take them seriously at all, among the hundred officials, there were some hard bones or those who might be pushed by everyone to be the head of the horse, he had already cut them down last night, although the remaining people were large, all of them were submissive, and they were used to whitewash the court.
The deliberations in Hanyuan Hall did not last long, because the eunuch beside Prince Yue suddenly said that the prince was unwell and needed to rest, so he carried people out of the hall with chairs.
The officials who were far away were confused.
This prince had an expression from beginning to end, and I didn't see him uncomfortable.
The officials who were close to the front of the stairs faintly smelled a smell of feces and urine coming from near the throne......
Alas, how did the national fortune of my Cangwu country come to such a field, and I actually wanted a person who couldn't take care of himself to sit in the country?
Ye Zhiqiu still stood there expressionlessly, and he didn't move a single step until the court discussion ended, and the hundred officials withdrew from the Hanyuan Hall one after another.
The previous eunuch descended the imperial steps, saluted him, and led him to the back of the palace very tacitly.
The two didn't talk along the way, until they went around to the outside of the Evergreen Palace, Ye Zhiqiu looked at no one around, and then asked in a low voice:
"How long has my father-in-law been with Lord Han?"
"I can't remember, but there will be twenty years."
"Oh, father-in-law, hard work. Now that Gonggong Li and Gonggong Wang are gone, in terms of grade, it should be the highest father-in-law. ”
The eunuch bowed his head and smiled humbly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and his eyebrows and eyes were very restrained.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the Evergreen Gate from a distance, and it was still gorgeous.
"Is there anything unusual in the Evergreen Hall now?"
"No, the saint is not in the palace, and even the little eunuch on duty has been reduced by half."
"One more pair of eyes is a little more dangerous, since you are not in the palace, then the remaining half will be reduced, there is no need for so many people in the palace now."
"Yes."
The two of them continued to walk on the road unhurriedly.
The huge Zhangren Palace is like a giant beast that has been drained of its soul, leaving only a lifeless skeleton, lying in name only in this Miaodai Mountain.
Ye Zhiqiu knew that he was now holding the seal of the crown prince's prison, and even the five thousand guards in the palace were also in his pocket. Through Chen Zheng and the others, his actual available troops have reached more than 25,000 people.
Overnight, the palace changed hands, but everyone was kept in the dark.
Back then, the Mu Yun clan planned to occupy the Wanhua Imperial Capital of the Chang family, I don't know if you expected that one day in the future, the descendants of the Chang family would occupy the magpie's nest and get it back?
The ink fragrance is a moment, and there is no last resort......
But I don't know that there will be a mistake in the end!
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the dense forest of Baiteng Qingyuan in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The ancestors of the Chang family are on top...... The boy has finally lived up to you and is back.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and when they arrived at the intersection of the flower beds of Baiteng Qingyuan, Ye Zhiqiu stopped and looked south. The winding path was hidden in a thicket, and if you didn't look closely, you would have walked it.
The eunuch saw that he was looking at the path in a daze, and sighed quietly, "You also know this road? ”
“…… This road is the road leading to the old royal palace, although I have never walked it, but I have heard the people say it thousands of times since I was a child, how dare I forget. ”
"Would you like to take a look?"
Ye Zhiqiu was obviously a little moved, but after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head and said, "That's it, it's not too late to wait for everything to be decided." ”
Suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu felt a gentle knock on his back, and turned to look, but it was a boy, looking at him vigilantly.
"Whose child are you?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
The kid didn't answer, but pointed to a leather ball at Ye Zhiqiu's feet and shouted, "Give me back the ball quickly." ”
Ye Zhiqiu smiled, picked up the ball and threw it at him gently.
When the boy got the ball, he made up his mind and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you come to this harem? ”
"I was called to come in, and I had to enter."
"Whose summons are you?"
Ye Zhiqiu felt a little funny, this child was very young, but he had a clear eye when he spoke, and at the moment his childlike heart moved, and he replied seriously: "I don't know Your Excellency's identity, so it's inconvenient to disclose." ”
The boy patted his chest and said, "I am the fourth great-grandson of the first emperor of the Kai Dynasty, Li Houpu!" ”
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't remember how the Li family still had such a descendant, so he looked at the eunuch beside him.
"He is the son of Lord Yue, and he is the same as the saint in terms of seniority, and he is a thick generation."
"Lord Yue?" Ye Zhiqiu was deeply surprised, how could this famous demented prince have such a smart son?
He thought about it and felt that it was wrong: "But this Yue Wang Ye is over eighty years old, how can his son be fifty or sixty years old, how can he have such a young child?" ”
The eunuch whispered: "Lord Yue has been demented all his life, and the saint has given concubines to serve him several times, which is intended to show his love." Unexpectedly, those concubines were young and beautiful, and when they saw that the prince Yue was useless, they each had an affair with the young guards in the house. ”
"Is Princess Yue just sitting back and ignoring such filthy things?"
"Princess Nayue is an honest person, she only eats and recites Buddha every day, and she can't suppress this kind of thing, so she can only close her eyes. More than ten years ago, since Princess Yue died of illness, those concubines have become more and more bold, and one of the side rooms actually gave birth to a son, which is the one in front of the adults. ”
Ye Zhiqiu said: "Such an ugly thing, why can it still be calm? ”
"There is no queen of Yue Wangfu, and the prince of Yue is already eighty years old, if this goes on like this, no one will inherit the title in the future, once the prince closes his eyes, the palace will naturally cease to exist. The people in the house have long been worried that they will be dismissed one day, so they are dedicated to hiding the concubine who is pregnant with a child, and carefully serving them until delivery. ”
"Don't you know that one in the Evergreen Palace?"
"Of course I do. But if a tree lives a skin, why don't people live a skin? has no face, that one is categorically refusing, what he wants is decency, how can he care about anything else? The prince of Shangyue also added a son, although it is a side branch, it can be regarded as a branch for the royal family. ”
Ye Zhiqiu sneered: "It's another person who is not surnamed Li." ”
When the boy saw that the two of them were muttering and couldn't hear what they were saying, he said angrily, "You two, what are you talking about! Beware that I let my father cure you for your sins! ”
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Your father entered the palace today to listen to the court discussion for His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'll see if there are any bad guys bullying my dad!" The little boy replied with confidence.
"Your father is a prince, who will bully him?"
The little boy stared at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "You, you will bully my father." ”
"This is unfounded, slanderous, and not done by a gentleman."
"Hmph, Hugh thinks I don't know. I've seen too many people like you. They all talk one thing and do one thing behind their backs, secretly muttering and calculating, and they all treat my father as a waste. It's because you all have no good intentions, so I followed my father into the palace today to see who dares to bully him! ”
The boy's age and voice have not changed, but his speech posture is no different from that of an adult.
Li still has such a wonderful child...... Although he is an adulterous son and not a descendant of the Li family, his surname is Li after all, and it may be a hidden danger when he grows older in the future.
Ye Zhiqiu beckoned to him: "Come here, I see there is a worm on the side of your neck." ”
"Where?" The child will be skeptical and come closer.
Ye Zhiqiu's face suddenly sank, and he reached out and locked the child's throat, which immediately suffocated him.
The eunuch was startled and wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but he didn't dare.
The boy's face was flushed, and the ball in his hand had long since been rolled aside.
"Quick...... Let go, you, you bad guy! The boy's eyes were full of hatred.
However, the hand did not let go in the slightest, but became tighter and tighter.
The eunuch was so panicked that he couldn't help but persuade: "My lord...... The child is not sensible, he is only nine years old......"
Unexpectedly, the child was very stubborn, and desperately held back a sentence from his throat: "I'm ten years old!" You're only nine years old! ”
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned.
10 years old......
I remember that when I escaped from Songyang City with my wife that year, I happened to be ten years old.
He will never forget that that day was still his birthday, and what made him unforgettable was not the laughter and congratulations at the birthday banquet, but the corpses and bloodstains all over the city.
The parting of flesh and blood, endless fighting, is like a sharp blade, cutting the life he should have in two.
All that's left is revenge.
