Chapter 16: Stealing Beams and Replacing Pillars (2)
"What do you say? The emperor is in trouble, but what does this have to do with me? ”
Wang Fugui said: "You don't understand this, if the country dies, where is the home?" Therefore, what we are doing now is to save our country from danger. ”
"Good!"
"We need your help."
"Good!"
"Would you like to help?"
"Good!"
"Can you give me the key to your room here?"
"Good! No...... Not good! ”
"Do you want to prove yourself?"
"But if I do this, the shopkeeper will beat me."
"Come here, let's discuss the plan." Wang Fugui said.
……
Changling,
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please." Tong Wen asked people to escort Yin Shenglong to the prison.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Liu Jian's hair was disheveled, and he was handcuffed and cuffed.
"Shenglong!" Wang Xi's tragic situation is not as good as Liu Jian, it is simply indescribable.
Tong Wen said to Yin Shenglong: "Look, how are these two loyal ministers who have protected you for more than ten years?" Even if they live, can they keep you on the throne of the dragon? ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Kill you!"
Liu Jian shouted: "Tong Wen! If you have a kind of rush at me Liu Jian, His Royal Highness the Prince, it was the minister who failed to protect His Majesty and Miyagi, so that the thieves gained power, and if you want to kill, you will kill me first! ”
"Tong Wen, do you understand? The Liu family and the Wang family protect me, not for any benefit, but from the loyalty in the blood and bones, people like you will not understand. ”
Tong Wen laughed madly: "Hahaha, you are teaching me a lesson now?" How long do you think you can live on your own? ”
"Ten years ago, my half-brother died of illness, and he was my role model for life. Before leaving, the royal brother told me that I, the descendants of the Yin family, whether facing a tragic parting or an inevitable death, must not be afraid, and no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will never lose the majesty of the royal family. You killed me, you killed me, and the third, fourth, and fifth, and I have eleven younger brothers, can you kill them? ”
"The three princes like rivers and lakes, they travel all over the world, and they don't know where they are. The four princes followed the Queen Mother to practice Buddhism and escaped into the empty gate. The fifth prince is the same as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is weak and indecisive. The sixth prince and the eighth prince only know how to eat, drink and have fun, I have been in the dynasty for more than 30 years, and I have seen the thirteen royal children of your Yin family since childhood, and in my eyes, only the eldest prince and the king of Qi can be regarded as the emperor. Tong Wen said: "Now, except for the three princes who are not in my hands, as long as I kill the seven princes, this crown prince, who I want to set up is not the same?" ”
Wang Xi said: "Tong Wen, if you do this, what will the people of the world think?" Do you know what you have sinned in order to usurp power? ”
"I don't care what the people in the world think, as long as I have soldiers in my hands, whoever is disobedient will be beaten."
"You ......"
"Someone's coming!" Tong Wen shouted.
Several soldiers brought a glass of wine. Tong Wen handed the wine to the prince: "Yin Shenglong, you choose whether to drink or not, if you don't drink it, I will kill the two of them first." If you drink it, I can promise you that I will not kill any of the people in the prison or the palace. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't believe him! If you want to kill, come and kill! Liu Jian said.
"Yes, we can't drink it, even if we all die, we can't let Tong Wen's tricks succeed!"
Tong Wen said: "You can listen to them, but if you think about it, the lives of Liu Jian and Wang Xi are not valuable, in the palace, your father, queen mother, queen mother, eldest princess, second princess, your royal brothers, Liu Dehai, Liu Demiao, Wang Wen, are all in my hands." ”
"Whether it is in the face of a tragic parting or an inevitable death, we must not be afraid, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will never lose the majesty of the royal family." Yin Shenglong said: "I, a descendant of the Yin family, why am I afraid of death?" ”
"No!"
"Your Highness!"
Yin Shenglong drank all the poisonous wine, and he was ready to die. Liu Jian roared and scolded Tong Wen, Wang Xi silently lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and his heart was like a knife.
Yin Shenglong spat blood from his mouth, and when he was dying, he remembered Yin Shenglin and what they once said: No matter when, you must keep the world in mind, imperial power is important, but the country is not established on the army and money, the so-called country, no people, no country. "Prime Minister Tong, now that I am in your heart, I am also the material for the emperor, right?"
Tong Wen nodded, he didn't expect why Yin Shenglong was so resolute.
Yin Shenglong took his last breath and said to Tong Wen: "Prime Minister, I persuaded you. Now, you have no way out, and you can't escape the crusade of justice and fairness after all......"
……
The Queen Mother, the Empress and her entourage were all locked up in a palace in the palace to worship the Buddha.
"My Emperor!" When the queen heard of the death of the crown prince, she was very sad: "Take the palace away too!" ”
The Queen Mother knelt in front of the Buddha and reprimanded: "Those who are making a lot of noise, and there is no royal woman's appearance!" The mourning family, who is a grandmother, hasn't cried yet, why are you crying! ”
"But Shenglong ......"
"Alas...... These are all fates, the mourning family said again and again back then, Li Shenglin is the crown prince, who has listened to you or Your Majesty? It's all your own son, so you have to let Shenglin go over there to practice. Also, I told Tong Wen not to use it, he is my Tong family's nephew. Can I not know him? Your Majesty, I think he has made a meritorious report, and he has to be reused. Even if it is reused, if Shenglin is in the DPRK, will there still be such a situation as it is now? Today, no one is allowed to cry, for decades, the Dou country has wantonly raised troops, this is our own mistake, the Buddha has long seen it, retribution! The Queen Mother said: "When the Mourning family followed the first emperor, what world had not been seen, and how many people had died in front of me?" How many people can a Buddha surpass? Our destiny is early in the eyes of the Buddha. Now, we have to save our lives and wait for Shenglin and Dehao to gather soldiers to save us. I only hope that after Shenglin hears the news of his imperial brother, he will not be so impulsive. ”
……
Linghe Inn.
It was dark, and the person in charge of delivering the letter was a greedy guy, who drank a few glasses of wine at the inn at night, Wang Fugui gave Wang Jixiang a look, and asked Wang Jixiang to go up to the second floor to take a look, and he was responsible for dragging the messenger.
"Hello military master." Wang Fugui came up to him.
"Who are you?"
"Here are the vendors who do business in the Lingcheng area, and I have already bought the account of the wine and food for the military master. The little one doesn't mean anything else, I just want to ask you about something. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Recently, I heard that something happened in the capital, and I want to know if I can enter Beijing now."
"Something big happened in the capital, and the King of Qi rebelled."
"Is this true? I've heard about it, but I don't know if it's true. ”
The messenger drank wine while eating meat: "I won't tell you the truth, the King of Qi has been in charge of the army for many years, so it's strange if he doesn't turn back." Think about it, who doesn't want to be the emperor? King Qi must not be used to the crown prince, and feels that he is more powerful and should be the emperor. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and now that the King of Qi has run away, all the royal troops are chasing him everywhere, and the remnants of the King of Qi are scattered in the capital, so the blockade of the capital is to arrest these people. ”
"Then you too, Master Jun?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
Wang Fugui stuffed him with a few taels of silver and asked, "Master Jun, I just want to find you to confirm a news, will Lingcheng fight?" I'm still going to be in places like Lingcheng and Changling these days, if there is a fight, I don't know martial arts, and I'm not smart...... Can you tell me? ”
"Now I don't know, for the sake of your sincerity, I will reveal a message to you."
"Master Xie."
"You can't go to the capital again, don't go back to Lingcheng, there is no safe place now, the king of Qi is not easy to mess with, if there is a fight, you businessmen will run north and go to Ju to stay." Selling donkeys or something there, they can barely make a living. ”
"Thank you for your advice, thank you very much."
Wang Jixiang followed Xiao Er to the second floor, Xiao Er helped open the door, Wang Jixiang looked for a while, and did not find the so-called secret letter.
"Guest, hurry up!" Xiao Er put this wind at the door.
"Right now, right now." Wang Jixiang looked near the bed again, but still didn't find anything, so he had to put the things back in place first and left.
Wang Jixiang thought to himself: Not in the room, such an important secret letter must be placed in close-fitting clothes! The secret letter should be on him.
