Yan Zhuang looked at An Qingxu quietly and said, "King Jin is right, this is indeed a cup of poisonous wine. β
An Qingxu spread his hands and shouted, "What's going on?" How did you come here with poisoned wine? And...... And I almost drank the poisoned wine. What exactly do you want to do? β
Yan Zhuang threw away the chopsticks in his hand and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Jin should be restless, listen to the old man explain to you." β
An Qingxu said angrily: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." β
Yan solemnly smiled, returned to his seat and sat down, and reached out to take the delicate tin pot containing poisoned wine in his hand. An Qingxu frowned and said, "Is there all poisonous wine here?" β
Yan Zhuang nodded and said: "Exactly, a pot full of highly poisonous dove tail orchid poison wine, this poison enters the throat, and it dies in an instant, and there is no medicine to treat." β
An Qingxu was shocked: "Dovetail orchid...... Then why did you bring this pot of poisoned wine? β
Yan Zhuang raised his head and stared at An Qingxu and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, it's not that the old man wants to bring poisonous wine, but someone forced me to bring this pot of poisonous wine." β
"Someone is pushing you? Who is it? An Qingxu shouted.
"Is His Royal Highness King Jin stupid? Is this still a question to ask? Who can force me to do such a thing? Except for one person in the Great Yan Kingdom, can anyone else force me to do this? Yan Zhuang shook his head and sighed.
An Qingxu's eyes widened with a shocked expression, and at this moment, he finally understood what was going on. Who else can force Yan Zhuang to do this? In the Great Yan Kingdom, only His Majesty can make Yan Zhuang have to obey. Obviously, the father was going to poison himself with poisoned wine.
"You mean...... Is this the order of the father? An Qingxu suppressed his throat, his face full of horror and fear.
"Lord Jin finally understood. Yes, this is exactly the will of His Majesty, and he wants me to bring poisoned wine to your house for a banquet and poison you on the spot. Because in a few days Your Majesty will be the crown prince, and before that you must die. And your father is unwilling to do it himself, let me carry this black cauldron, and afterwards kill me for the crime of killing the King of Jin. Then I became a sinner for the ages who killed the prince, and His Majesty did not have to bear the name of killing the son, but also justifiably established King Yan as the crown prince, and those who wanted to support the King of Jin as the prince had nothing to say, because the King of Jin was killed by me. Your father could have told them that he actually wanted to make you the crown prince, but you were blessed. Yan Zhuang sat still, and said in a deep voice.
Every word Yan Zhuang said was like a knife piercing An Qingxu's heart, he knew that all Yan Zhuang said was the truth, and he didn't exaggerate at all. My father must have planned this in his heart, and everything he had already thought of was already in his mind. Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, this sentence is also applicable in reverse, knowing the father Mo Ruozi, following his father for so many years, An Qingxu knows what An Lushan thinks in his heart and his mode of doing things.
"Father, father, are you so intolerant of me? I'm your own son. An Qingxu gasped and sat on the chair and muttered to himself.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, haven't you seen it through? I thought you had made up your mind a month ago, and you had already seen through Your Majesty's mind. Are you still hopeful? Isn't the poisoned wine just around the corner enough to dispel all hope? β
"Mr. Yan, what you're saying is that I shouldn't have had any hope in the long run. Tell me, Mr. Yan, what should I do? An Qingxu suddenly jumped up and asked loudly.
"I've already taught you how to do it. If you can't get it, you will grab it. What's more, now that you have no way back, do you need to hesitate more? Yan Zhuang said coldly.
"But I don't know how to grab it. By the way, your 50,000 soldiers and horses are outside the East City, right? Let's immediately go out of the city overnight, attack the city with these 50,000 soldiers and horses, directly capture Luoyang, and directly force my father to pass on to me. Let's take power. Mr. Yan, what do you think? An Qingxu's face was flushed with excitement, and there was excitement in his eyes.
Yan Zhuang shook his head slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this method will not work. As soon as we leave your palace, we will be watched by our ears and eyes. Getting out of town is absolutely impossible. And even if you can get out of the city, are you sure that those 50,000 soldiers and horses can capture Luoyang? There are also 40,000 forbidden soldiers guarding Luoyang City, do you think this is a papier-mΓ’chΓ© city, and it will be broken as soon as it is attacked? β
"So what do you say? Could it be that I'm going to drink this pot of poisoned wine? It's better than sitting here and waiting to die. If I don't die, my father will still kill me. Originally, I was counting on these 50,000 soldiers and horses, but now I can't even count on this, what should I do? An Qingxu exclaimed.
Yan solemnly said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is a little safe, the old man has a plan, please make a decision." β
β¦β¦
In the flower hall of the back house of the Jin Palace, Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu's heads were together, and under the swaying of the candles, Yan Zhuang said the plan that he had been thinking about countless times in his heart. He had been preparing for this plan for a long time, although he had thought about it countless times, and he knew every detail of it, and thought it through. But when he said it in person at this moment, Yan Zhuang was still short of breath with excitement, and his face was flushed.
An Qingxu quietly listened to Yan Zhuang's plan, he was not as surprised or frightened as Yan Zhuang imagined, on the contrary, he was very calm.
"Mr. Yan, I just want to know if this method will achieve its goal. I have a few questions I'd like to ask. An Qingxu said.
"Please ask Your Highness to ask, the old man knows everything." Yan Zhuangdao.
An Qingxu said slowly: "The first thing, you said that you wanted Li Zhu'er to do it, this Li Zhu'er is a loyal slave beside his father, how can he do it?" How do we convince him to do it? β
Yan Zhuang nodded and said: "The question asked by His Highness is exactly the key point, but I won't answer you this question for the time being, and you will naturally know Li Zhu'er's attitude in a while, because Li Zhu'er is in the palace of His Royal Highness King Jin." β
"What? Li Zhu'er in my house? An Qingxu was surprised.
"Exactly, I brought him here. I didn't want you to arouse suspicion, so I asked him to wait in the front room. β
"So...... It turns out that the gentleman has already arranged it in advance? An Qingxu said in a low voice.
"It can't be said that it has been arranged, it can only be said that it has been prepared." Yan Zhuangdao.
"Putting this matter aside, how to deal with the aftermath after the matter is completed? What to do with tens of thousands of Praetorian guards? The general of the forbidden army, Li Guiren, may not be willing to obey my orders, what should I do when the time comes? An Qingxu asked in a low voice.
"Your Highness, rest assured, after the matter is completed, the news will be blocked, and in the name of Your Majesty, my 50,000 troops in Dongcheng will be allowed to enter the city. After that, in the name of His Majesty, he issued a decree announcing that he would be placed in His Highness. With an army of 50,000 in the city, he Li Guiren did not dare to act rashly even if he was suspicious. After that, if he is loyal to His Highness, if he is disloyal, he will find an opportunity to do so. Although he is a general of the forbidden army, he may not dare to rebel. In short, Li Quy Ren has nothing to worry about. On the contrary, it is the generals who are leading the army outside, such as Shi Siming, if they have any doubts, they will definitely use this as an excuse to cause chaos. But that's a later story, first control the situation, and smoothly ascend the throne for the throne of Emperor Dayan first. As for the rest of the matter, it is good to solve it slowly. Shi Siming was transferred 100,000 soldiers and horses by me, and if he dares to make any changes, he will probably have to weigh it. And now that he is being restrained by the Tang Army, I am afraid that he is also powerless. Yan said solemnly.
An Qingxu nodded slowly and said, "Mr. has a very thoughtful plan. I also want to ask one last question, after the matter is completed, what should I do with the Yan King? β
Yan Zhuang smiled: "What does Your Highness want to do?" β
An Qingxu smacked his lips and shook his head, "I don't know what to do?" β
Yan Zhuang smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't know, but you don't want to say it." If you ask my opinion? I can only tell Your Highness, that's your family affair, you can do whatever you want, I don't want to know the result. β
An Qingxu gritted his teeth slightly and nodded: "I understand, I have no problem, this matter is settled." It's time for us to call Li Zhu'er over for questioning. β
Not long after, Li Zhu'er's chubby figure appeared at the door of the flower hall. Several solemn entourages almost twisted his arms into the flower hall, stuffed him into the flower hall, and then withdrew, closing the hall door.
Li Zhu'er's face was like ashes, and after staggering in, he raised his eyes and saw An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang sitting on the seat looking at him, and he knelt down to the ground and kowtowed, and shouted: "The slave Li Zhu'er has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin and Mr. Yan." β
Yan Zhuang smiled and stepped forward to help him up, and said gently: "Li Neishi, how are things going?" β
Li Zhu'er's face was pale, looking at Yan Zhuang and then at An Qingxu, he didn't dare to speak at all.
"Say whatever you think in your heart." Yan Zhuangdao.
"This ...... This thing...... Slaves and maids are afraid that they will not succeed. The more the slave thought about it, the more frightened she became. Mr. Yan, didn't you say you were going to invite me to drink? How did you bring me to the mansion of the prince of Jin, and let me do such a thing, the slave and maid are just ants, why do you embarrass the slave and maid. Li Zhu'er said with a crying voice.
Yan Zhuang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhu'er, you really taught me to be disappointed." I didn't expect you to really not plant, let me tell you, after the matter is completed, the prince of Jin will be the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, he will pardon you for your innocence, and will promote you to the head of the inner chamberlain, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth. Lord, did you say? β
An Qingxu said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Yan says represents what I say. As long as you obey our arrangement, not only will you be innocent, but you will also have a great merit to me, and I will reward you heavily. β
Li Zhu'er's body trembled and didn't dare to make a sound. An Qingxu looked at Yan Zhuang worriedly, Yan Zhuang waved his hand to signal him not to worry, turned to Li Zhu'er and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhu'er, do you still have any illusions about Your Majesty?" If it weren't for the old man who saved you a few times, the grass on your grave would be a few feet high. Sooner or later, you will be beaten to death by Your Majesty, do you still think that you can live? β
Li Zhu'er said with a trembling voice: "The slave is grateful to Mr. Yan for saving his life, I know that Mr. Yan is good to me, but I want me to kill Your Majesty...... This...... That's a big rebellion. β
Yan Zhuang said coldly: "You are still affectionate and righteous, let me ask you, how did you become the chamberlain by His Majesty's side?" β
Li Zhu'er was silent. Yan Zhuang said coldly: "If you don't say it, the old man will recall the memories for you." Back then, you were just a peasant boy, and that year you were mowing grass on the hillside, and you met His Majesty who was hunting in the mountains with his own guards. Your Majesty saw that you were so clever, so he took you back to the city and asked you to serve him, right? β
Li Zhu'er nodded slightly, and spit out two words in a low voice: "Yes." β
Yan Zhuang continued: "Three days after entering the city, do you remember what His Majesty did to you? β
Li Zhu'er's face was like ashes, her lips trembled slightly, and the muscles on her face began to twist.
"Three days later, that night, you were sleeping in a tent when suddenly a couple of people rushed in and pinned you to the ground and pulled out your pants, right? Then His Majesty appeared, and he had a sharp knife in his hand, right? β
"Don't say it, please, Mr. Yan, don't say it." Li Zhu'er exclaimed.
Yan Zhuang ignored his pleas and continued: "At that time, you were scared to death, and Your Majesty said that seeing that you are smart and clever, he wants you to stay by his side and serve him all the time. But you have to be castrated, right? You were so frightened that you fainted, and you begged your majesty bitterly, saying that you were an only son in the family, and that you would carry on the family lineage. Say that your mother and your father hope that you will have children and grandchildren in the future, right? But has Your Majesty granted your prayer? Your Majesty will swing the sword, and you will be neither a man nor a woman from now on. You cried for three days, hurt for three days, and in the end you survived, didn't you? But what do you think in your heart? I'm afraid I hate Your Majesty to death. β
Yan Zhuang narrated in a low voice, Li Zhu'er's body trembled like a strong wind and a tree branch, and he was about to fall far away, almost fainting to the ground. Fingers digging tightly into the flesh of his thighs. In my mind, I recalled the past that I didn't want to recall.
