Chapter 224: The God of War Dies
Jiang Wushuang glanced Jiang Huan Qin up and down a few times, and suddenly laughed: "Haven't you always wanted to compete with the crown prince for the throne?" Why did you think of speaking for him today, if I said that I would pass on the throne to you, I don't know if you would accept it? ”
Although he knew that Jiang Wushuang was provoking, he still provoked the thorn in the hearts of the two brothers, when Jiang Huanyan went to Jiaozhou, when Jiang Huan Chu was still young, the battle between the two for the storage position was also extremely fierce, and there was no less black hand between each other, and the time span was more than 20 years, which can be described as a deep grudge, how can it be easily resolved. Until this moment, although the two are cooperating on the surface, they are still making small calculations in each other's hearts.
Jiang Huan Qin pretended to be calm: "My father said that he laughed, the eldest brother is the crown prince, and the throne should be succeeded by the prince. ”
Jiang Wushuang heard another burst of sarcasm, and continued to provoke: "Now that you are leading people to force the palace, you can't do your duty as a courtier to your father, can you do your duty as a courtier to your half-brother?" Do you think your big brother can believe what you say? ”
Jiang Huan Qin was in a cold sweat when he said this, he knew that his eldest brother was by no means an open-minded person, if Jiang Wushuang was allowed to continue to provoke, he was afraid that he would be solved before the third and fourth brothers were killed.
"Okay, father, you don't have to continue to stir up the relationship between me and my eldest brother, the matter has come to this point, and we have no way out, now you must write another edict to pass the throne to the crown prince to inherit." Jiang Huan Qin was anxious to stop him from continuing.
"What if I don't write?" Jiang Wushuang glared angrily.
"Then don't blame Erchen for being unfilial." After Jiang Huan Qin finished speaking, he stood up, took out a blank scroll of edicts from the desk next to him, and handed it to Jiang Wushuang along with pen and ink.
Jiang Wushuang didn't take it, still staring at him angrily.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and Jiang Huan Qin lowered his voice: "Father, do you really want to force me?" ”
Jiang Wushuang remained indifferent.
Jiang Huan Qin was furious, grabbed Jiang Wushuang's hand, and wanted to force him to write on it.
"Bang", Jiang Huan Qin was kicked coldly, and his body knocked over the desk. Looking back, it turned out that the third brother Jiang Huanyan took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on Jiang Wushuang, broke free from Zhang Qiuping's shackles, and attacked him with his feet.
"Kill him for me." Jiang Huan Qin roared angrily.
Hu Yizhi was still blaming himself for his negligence just now, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly pulled out the steel knife, stepped forward with two knives, and once again slashed Jiang Huanyan to the ground.
"Why are you still stunned? Kill him for me. Seeing that Hu Yizhi did not kill him, Jiang Huan Qin roared angrily.
Among the brothers, although the third brother never participated in the battle for the storage position, Jiang Huan Qin was the most afraid of him. Compared with his unparalleled resourcefulness, what he is more afraid of is that he is cold-blooded. If the third child escapes today, the two brothers will never end well.
"I'm sorry for the Third Highness, the villain has always had respect for you, but at this time, I can't disobey the master's order, so I have to wronged you." Hu Yizhi was originally reckless, and he naturally admired Jiang Huanyan, a military god-level figure, but Jiang Huanqin's order did not dare to disobey, so he could only endure the pain of the killer.
Jiang Huanyan was seriously injured and lay motionless on the ground, unable to speak because of the dumb point, so he could only look at Jiang Wushuang calmly with a smile on his face.
"Stop." Jiang Wushuang couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he said something to stop him.
"Wait." Jiang Huan Qin suddenly discovered Jiang Wushuang's weakness: "Father, as long as you are willing to write an edict to pass on the throne to the crown prince, we can let the third child go, how to say that he is also our own brother." ”
Of course, Jiang Wushuang couldn't believe this, but in addition, there seemed to be no other way to save Jiang Huanyan, so he had to say: "I hope you can keep your promise and let your third brother go." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Huan Song was also overjoyed: "Father, rest assured, the third child and us have never had a conflict, so why should we embarrass him." Doctor Hu, why are you stunned, why don't you hurry up and bandage the wound of the third brother. ”
Imperial Doctor Hu, who had been hiding behind, stepped forward resignedly, opened the medical box, and wanted to check the knife wound for Jiang Huanyan.
Jiang Huanyan, who was lying on the ground, kept shaking his head to stop it, Jiang Wushuang saw it in his eyes, but he was helpless, he took the pen and ink handed by Jiang Huanqin, and he was about to redraft the edict.
At this time, Jiang Huanyan suddenly hugged Imperial Doctor Hu and slammed into the tip of Hu Yizhi's knife in front of him.
Hu Yizhi was not in a hurry to withdraw the knife, there were two sounds of "poof, poof", the steel knife passed through the chests of the two, and the poor generation of military god Jiang Huanyan didn't have time to look at Jiang Wushuang again, so he was forced to death by his brother.
"Third ......" Jiang Wushuang dropped the pen and paper, rushed down from the hospital bed, and shook Jiang Huanyan's body desperately, trying to shake him up again.
The Jiang Huan Song brothers on the side were also stunned by the scene in front of them, Jiang Huanyan was indifferent by nature, not only cold-blooded to others, but also ruthless to himself, with his personality, how could he tolerate others threatening his father so much.
"Poof", the heartbroken Jiang Wushuang also spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then his eyes turned black and he fainted.
"Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to ask for a doctor, the edict has not been written, and the father can't die yet." Imperial Physician Hu, who was familiar with Jiang Wushuang's condition, also died, and by the time other imperial physicians arrived and re-diagnosed, Jiang Wushuang was already lifeless.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has passed away, please mourn." Imperial Physician Chen, who was temporarily called to replace him, although he didn't know why Jiang Wushuang died suddenly, but because of his perennial position in the palace and the disappearance of Imperial Physician Hu, he could roughly guess a few points.
Jiang Huan Song's face was pale, and he waved his hand to signal that he could retreat.
"Stop." When Imperial Physician Chen walked to the door of the hall, he was stopped by Jiang Huan Song again: "If the death of my father and the emperor, there will be a hint of rumors in the past two days, be careful of the heads of your family." ”
"Your Majesty is just sleepy, just resting for the time being. When His Majesty wakes up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send someone to summon the villain. "It is a matter of the life of the whole family, and Imperial Doctor Chen is naturally cautious, lest he say the wrong thing.
After Imperial Physician Chen left, Jiang Huan Song said to Zhang Qiuping, the guard: "You quickly send someone to control Gonggong Hong, and you must find the edict of your father, and this edict must not be circulated." ”
Although Jiang Wushuang was not forced to write the edict of succession in the end, as long as the edict that changed Jiang Huanchu was not circulated, as the crown prince, he could still succeed to the throne logically.
Jiang Huan Qin heard the prince's order, and glanced at Hu Yi with an inquiring look, Hu Yizhi nodded secretly, and Jiang Huan Qin was relieved.
Sure enough, after a stick of incense, Zhang Qiuping hurriedly ran back and forth: "Your Highness is not good, Gonggong Hong is gone." ”
"What about the edict?" Jiang Huan Song asked anxiously.
"I can't find it." Zhang Qiuping was afraid that Jiang Huan Song would suddenly be angry and hurt himself, so he involuntarily took two steps back.
"Hurry up and send someone to find it, the entire palace was surrounded before we came, and it is impossible for Gonggong Hong to escape." Jiang Huan Song was not without anger, but at this time, he still had to rely on Zhang Qiuping's forbidden army, so he had to forcibly hold it down.
"Second brother, where do you think Gonggong Hong can go at this time?" At this time, Jiang Huan Song was extremely calm, and after a little thought, he suspected Jiang Huan Qin, and only he could take Gonggong Hong away under his nose.
Jiang Huan Qin deliberately pretended not to understand: "Could it be that after the father handed over the edict to him, he asked him to find the fourth child, if it was really out of the palace at that time, we couldn't find him and it would be able to explain." ”
Jiang Huan Qin thought to himself: "Anyway, Imperial Doctor Hu is dead, whether the specific father asked Gonggong Hong to find the fourth child, there is no proof that he is dead, even if you suspect me now, you can't come up with evidence." ”
Jiang Huan Song stared at the second brother's face for a while, but still couldn't find a flaw, so he had to ask again: "If it is really Gonggong Hong who went out to find the fourth brother, then we will be in trouble, after the fourth brother receives the news, he will definitely return to the military camp immediately, and unite with General Tian to lead an army of 200,000 to kill us." ”
"Gonggong Hong is very old, even if he escapes from the palace, he can't run far. Big brother, you asked Zhang Weiwei to order a search in the whole city, and on the way back from the fourth child, he planted his eyeliner and immediately took down those who found his strange whereabouts. In addition, we have to send people to monitor the fourth, if Gonggong Hong really has a way to avoid the eyeliner and find the fourth, then we can also kill them. In order to prove his innocence, Jiang Huan Qin tried his best to imagine all possible situations and came up with corresponding countermeasures.
This move really fooled Jiang Huan Song, he temporarily put aside his suspicions and arranged for someone to do what Jiang Huan Qin said.
"Second brother, these few days are our most critical moment, we can't go wrong, the fourth brother's martial arts are the highest among our brothers, if he comes back, it will depend on the master of your house to take him down." Jiang Huan Song appeased a few more words, although he could also order the forbidden army to take down his fourth brother, but it would be a bit louder to do so, Prime Minister Song Chong and Da Sima Xin Shoujian and others were still watching in the capital.
Jiang Huan Qin nodded: "Big brother, don't worry, now that we have a hard time riding a tiger, there is no way out, and the younger brother will definitely do his best." ”
"Qiuping, during this time, you also have to personally lead people to guard the palace gate day and night, except for the fourth brother and General Hetian, you can't let anyone in, especially the prime minister and the big Sima, if the two of them know that their father has died, it will be troublesome." Jiang Huan Song told Zhang Qiuping again.
"What if the two of them are going to break in?" Zhang Qiu's face was worried, he was just a small captain, how dare he really carry it with the prime minister.
Jiang Huan Song took out a token on Jiang Wushuang's desk, threw it to Zhang Qiuping and said: "You just said that according to His Majesty's order, during his recuperation, the ministers will work in their own mansions, except for the general and the four princes, no one is allowed to enter the palace, and those who violate the order will be killed on the spot." ”
Zhang Qiuping took the token, and then he had some confidence.
