Chapter 54: The Prince

The bright red blood on the ground and the "nonsense" before Jiang Hai's death impacted the eyes and ears of the surrounding people.

Jiang Hai's death undoubtedly dropped a big bomb in the hearts of the people. The words he said before his death were quite informative, and the people's faith in Emperor Qinghua began to waver. Some older people recall rumors in their minds, as if there was indeed a claim that the first emperor was assassinated by Emperor Qinghua eleven years ago. Is it true?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, anyway, the two things of Emperor Qinghua's immorality and the murder of his brother and father are spreading in a trend of spreading from one to ten.

100,000 is a large number, and by word of mouth, it may not be known all by sunset. However, after the death of Jiang Hai, there was still another insider who survived that year and stood up and scolded Emperor Qinghua.

Emperor Qinghua received a message from the guards and knew that something was wrong. He thought that the enemy was going to use the roar to accuse him of virtue and wrongdoing, but the enemy also turned out the old things of more than ten years ago. With both fists out at the same time, it is not easy to catch either fist.

The main theme of the political struggle is the distribution of interests. Back then, Emperor Qinghua was ruthless in cutting down the grass and roots, and beheaded everyone who could be killed. Even if there were those who escaped, that is, a few kittens and puppies, why did they jump out?

When he was puzzled, Bai Qian instructed the guards: "Bring up the body of the person just now." ”

"Yes." The guards obeyed.

Bai Qian looked at the gray-haired Huang Qinghua's incomprehensible appearance, and mocked in his heart, Prince, that is not as smart as it was back then, now it is the world of young people.

The guards carried the corpse up, Bai Qian held up the corpse's face and looked at it carefully, then turned to Emperor Qinghua and said, "Your Majesty, according to the minion, this person is the original account room of the Three Princes' Mansion. ”

Emperor Qinghua heard Shicai's guess and sat down, sighed lightly in his heart, and said: "Little account room, why did you also jump out to attack me." ”

Bai Qian heard that he wanted to speak, and when Emperor Qinghua saw him behaving like this, he spoke again: "What's the secret, but it's okay to say it." ”

The breeze came slowly, and Bai Qian said softly: "At the beginning, His Majesty's order was to kill without mercy, and if the people below couldn't catch Jiang Hai, maybe they would hack his family to death." And Jiang Hai must have lived like a rat on the street over the years, and I am afraid that he has a deep hatred for His Majesty in his heart. ”

His words followed the breeze into Emperor Qinghua's ears and hearts, detonating the emotions that he had buried in his heart over the years. He was mortal after all, and he didn't have a heart of stone. killed his father and cut his brother, he still regretted it in his heart. And how many people like Jiang Hai died because of him?

Emperor Qinghua was blowing a warm spring breeze, but his heart fell into the ice valley, and the cold invaded his heart.

Seeing that he was much older again, the Great Eunuch Bai was the opposite of him, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Before the time came, he still pretended to be loyal, and asked in a concerned tone: "Your Majesty, at the moment, people's hearts are fluctuating, and we must find a way to appease them." The imperial capital will also send people to sit in the town, and I am afraid that the enemy will also attack the imperial capital. ”

Emperor Qinghua is really not as calm as before, and his mind is in a mess, which is quite desolate as a hero and old age. He felt that Bai Qian was reliable, and what he said was quite reasonable, so he didn't think much about it, and asked Bai Qian directly: "Then according to what you see, who should be sent to sit in the imperial capital." ”

Bai Qian bent down and arched his fist: "This person must be a completely credible person, and he must be extremely powerful in Daheng." The minions recommended the prince, Wu Liehou, and the king side by side. ”

Wu Liehou is a military general after all, and if he is sent to guard the imperial capital, Emperor Qinghua will inevitably be uneasy. He frowned and asked, "Isn't the prime minister okay?" ”

Bai Qian stole a glance at Xu Mingyuan, who was appeasing the people, and said softly: "It's not that the slaves are alarmist, it's really that most of the officials in the imperial capital are under the prime minister's door." What's more, this time's "Heaven and Man Induction" was written by the prime minister himself. ”

Emperor Qinghua believed that Xu Mingyuan would not betray him, but he had to guard against others. Not only Xu Mingyuan, but Qingyun, who is in the high position of the king side by side, can't let him go.

In this way, Emperor Qinghua found that in the end, he could only believe in his own son, and he thought to himself that Hao'er had been cowardly since he was a child and did not dare to make waves. After making a decision in his heart, he said to Bai Qian: "Then let the prince take my jade pendant and go to the imperial capital." ”

Bai Qian took the jade pendant and said secretly: "If he mentions me when he is considering the candidate to sit in the imperial capital, I will treat him as before." Huang Qinghua, Huang Qinghua, you have been smart for half your life, but today you are going to be ruined because of suspicion. ”

When Bai Qian was led to the crown prince by the guards, he was speaking to a part of the people to appease him. The people are becoming more and more riotous, and the prince is not good to sit idly by. Although this move has little effect, it is better than nothing.

Bai Qian looked at the dignified prince with a smile and said, "The slave has seen the prince. ”

Seeing that it was his father's close ministers coming, the prince hurriedly said, "Manager Bai doesn't have to be polite. "Bai Qian is deeply respected by Emperor Qinghua, covering the sky with one hand in the inner palace, and he has a lot of power to speak in the court. Daheng officials all know that Emperor Qinghua is not a woman, and the only person who can blow the wind in his ears is the great eunuch Bai, a close minister. The prince didn't dare to be humble to Bai.

The other party was humble, and Bai Qian was also happy to stop being polite, and said to the prince: "Your Majesty asked the servants to pass the word, the ancestral altar has not been pacified, Your Majesty is not good to return to the palace, and I am afraid that the imperial capital will be in turmoil, so I ordered me to order His Royal Highness the prince to go and sit in the imperial capital." ”

"The emperor is guarded by Yan De and other old ministers, and he wants to be fine. Besides, I don't have a position, so I'm afraid I can't take on this great responsibility. ”

Bai Qian knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to seek power, and secretly scolded in his heart, it was really not as good as Huang Qinghua back then.

Despite this, Bai Qian still decided to side with the prince. In his distorted heart, he already hated Huang Qinghua to the extreme, and if he didn't jump back this time, maybe he would never have a chance again.

After putting Emperor Qinghua's jade into the hands of the prince, Bai Qian said with a smile: "With this piece of jade, the officials who stayed in the imperial capital have to obey your orders in all matters and small matters." What the slave means, does the prince understand? ”

Bai Qian's last sentence was accented, and after the prince took the jade pendant, he understood that this big red man in front of Emperor Qinghua was on his side for some reason. Although there were many doubts in his mind, the prince didn't ask much, kept a personable smile, and took the jade pendant into his arms. He was happy to be so, with Bai Qian, the old eunuch, and the group of spies under him joining, his chances of winning were getting bigger and bigger.

"I wonder how my dear father will feel when he knows that his favored retainers have joined my camp?"

The prince sat in his sedan chair with a black moon and white bead curtains, and couldn't help but fantasize.
