Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Storm is Coming

On both sides of the cobblestone path were half-human-tall low trees, Chu Shenxia paused after walking a few steps, the familiar little pavilion was lonely, and the person was not in it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thoughts drifted, as if he saw his back standing in front of the pavilion with his hands in his hands, when he had not yet become the crown prince, Chu Shenxia had already met him, watching him become the master of the East Palace all the way, watching him be abolished because of the headless case, and now he has used all means for the position of the son of heaven.

The original heart, this kind of word, can they add it? Chu Shenxia shook his head gently, he was undoubtedly the most suitable prince he had ever seen for the position of the Son of Heaven, he was not wrong, it was Chu Shenxia himself who was wrong, and he was unwilling to accept those despicable methods.

Despicable, how can it be considered despicable, isn't this a means passed down from thousands of generations of kings? Despicable, who dares to say a word of despicable?

sighed very softly, turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't want him to be standing behind him, Chu Shenxia hurriedly bowed and saluted, but was stopped by him, he said expressionlessly: "What, this is leaving?" ”

"Yes." Chu Shenxia lowered his head and said.

Liu Yu was stunned and reminded him: "You rarely come here these days, is there anything important in the Shunwang Mansion?" ”

"Nope." Chu Shenxia thought for a while and said, "Just because there is nothing to do, there is no need to come over." ”

"Is it really because it's not necessary?" Liu Yu habitually squinted his eyes and asked tentatively: "I heard that the new staff of the Shun Wangfu has broken the case. ”

"What the prince knows, it's not a case solved at all." To this day, he has not changed his words about the word prince.

Liu Yu retracted his gaze and didn't speak, and put it in the distance, Chu Shenxia also looked into the distance, and asked casually: "Your Highness, have you heard that the Thirteen Princes are secluded in the palace?" ”

"So what?"

"I'm just curious, since His Highness tried his best to bring down King Shun, how could he give him such a big benefit?" Chu Shenxia tilted his head slightly.

"When did I say this was a benefit? Besides, my purpose is not here at all, so what does it matter who arrested the Thirteen Princes? Liu Yu also turned his head to look at him.

Chu Shenxia was stunned for a moment, and all kinds of suspicions at the beginning came to his mind again, could it be that Liu Yu's purpose was to provoke a war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Qi State, and to charge King Shun with colluding with foreign ministers in the melee?

"Isn't the prince afraid that something will go wrong? After all, some things are out of control. ”

"I can't wait, I've waited too long for this day, what the people of the world need is a Ming monarch, not an old emperor who is old and exhausted." Liu Yu gritted his teeth slightly, and the gloom on his face became thicker and thicker.

Chu Shenxia was shocked by his words and had goosebumps, it turned out that what he wanted was not to frame him for a crime, but to usurp the throne, to add a yellow robe, and to make the subjects of the world fall at his feet.

Unexpectedly, the position of the Son of Heaven had taken away his due sanity, all the desires for power filled his empty heart, and endless intrigues stirred and rotted in his abdomen, Chu Shenxia frowned tightly as if he smelled the smell of being wrapped in scheming and trickery.

returned to the palace without stopping, but was told that King Shun and Princess Yongming had just left the palace and gone to the palace.

Pacing back and forth in the room, I really can't figure it out, when the two countries go to war, where did the abolished prince get the troops to break through the strict palace? Qi State, last year's drought made them have no harvest, and many people once itched to raise troops to swallow the fat of Qi State, but Qi State still survived.

It's not luck, they have a good monarch who knows how to govern the country, and a thirteen princes who are famous for their virtues.

This time, the whole country knows that the thirteen princes, their future monarchs, are imprisoned in the Southern Song Dynasty, maybe they will really grit their teeth and turn their faces with the Southern Song Dynasty.

In particular, the old emperor opened his mouth to ask for three million gold, undoubtedly forcing them, forcing them to have no way out.

Since he is determined to go to war, the first step for the Qi State must be to rescue the Thirteen Princes.

No, the first step should be to unite the Liang State, the Northern Yan State and the Lu State, these small countries have long coveted the Southern Song Dynasty and have been dissatisfied for a long time, if this is the case, the world will be in chaos.

It is conceivable that after the monarchs of various countries destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, how could they be willing to divide this piece of fat, and no one would feel redundant about power.

No, stop him anyway.

As soon as King Shun lifted the curtain of the carriage, he saw Chu Shenxia bowing and saluting, knowing that he must have something to do here, he jumped off the carriage and bowed slightly, signaling him to follow.

Chu Shenxia walked into the room, closed the doors and windows, and then said solemnly: "The Qi State intends to attack my Southern Song Dynasty." ”

King Shun was surprised: "What? How so? The Thirteen Princes are still in the palace...."

"Qi Guo's desperate trip is bound to tear his face, for their monarch who loves the people, a thirteenth prince is nothing?" Chu Shenxia looked at King Shun with a solemn expression.

"How did you find out?" King Shun asked rhetorically, and a pair of eyes flashed uncertainly.

Chu Shenxia's eyebrows jumped, he had already thought of the wording, and replied very quickly: "Your Highness knows, I have some dealings with people in the rivers and lakes, and a few days ago, I met a swordsman with some status in the Qi country, and he told me. ”

"Is it credible? Who is he? King Shun frowned and pondered.

Chu Shenxia replied: "Credible, when I went to Qi a few years ago, I saved him under the sword of Tianjiao, and he was grateful to me, so he worshiped me as a brother." ”

King Shun glanced at him, saw that his face remained unchanged, knew that he was not lying, and understood where the news that should not be investigated at this moment came from, so he nodded and said, "I'll go into the palace now." ”

Chu Shenxia was puzzled: "What is Your Highness going to do in the palace?" ”

"I'm going to tell my father, so that I can take precautions in the Southern Song Dynasty or strike first to force troops to Qi State." King Shun looked at him puzzled.

"In this way, isn't Qi Guo vigilant? Once it is officially stated that the Southern Song Dynasty has the intention of attacking, those small countries will be tightly embraced, so that they will not be able to escape the destruction of the Qi State. ”

"Then what do you say, do you want me to do nothing and wait for Qi Guo to come to the door? When the time comes, I will say the last sentence pretendedly, in fact, I already knew, but I was afraid of startling the snake, so I held back and didn't say it. The snake has already started biting, how can I sit idly by?! King Shun's tone was impassioned, as if he was aggressive, and after saying this, he rushed out of the door.

Chu Shenxia sighed, there was some sadness in his eyes, in fact, what he really cared about was the person who controlled the wind and rain, he always wanted to leave him some leeway, there was no way out, and that person would not allow himself to have a way out.

Chu Shenxia slowly walked to the table and sat down, the small teacup was turning over and over in his hand, and when he said these words to King Shun, it meant that he and that person were no longer possible.

He understood why the abolished prince did not leave half a way out of retreat, and the headless case three years ago was firmly pressed on his head, which was enough to make him unable to turn over in this life.

It took a long time for King Shun to return to the palace, and he didn't say anything, but went about things as usual.

On the second day, when the emperor and the emperor disagreed, he was a little disrespectful when he was in a hurry, and the emperor did not say anything, but designated him to go to Zhengzhou to deal with the disaster.

The disaster in Zhengzhou is serious, and everyone understands in their hearts that the imperial court has been slow to send officials to appease these days because no officials are willing to go at all.

The disaster in Zhengzhou was so serious that the people brazenly looted food, and the local county government offices were all removed by the people, and even the local prefect starved to death in this disaster.

The prefect of the neighboring county was ordered to go to the disaster relief, and the prefect originally went with the mentality of being admired by all the people, so he stood next to the food for disaster relief. Unexpectedly, before half a word could be spoken, the eyes of those victims were red and glowing, and they all rushed up to grab food as if possessed by demons.

On that day, seventeen young children and six adults were trampled to death, and among the six adults who died was the body of the prefect.

What is even more frightening is that rumors came from nowhere that the victims of Zhengzhou were so hungry that they ate human flesh, and the emperor had to issue an order to seal the city.

When those ministers heard that the emperor had sent King Shun to relieve the disaster, they originally wanted to say something good for King Shun, but they could see the emperor's gloomy face, and his head was even lowered.

King Shun didn't have anything, and he responded without any emotion in his voice.

Chu Shenxia and Wang Ruoyu originally wanted to follow him to Zhengzhou to deal with the disaster, but he refused, and King Shun said, "I'll be back soon." ”

King Shun was sent to Zhengzhou, which was too abrupt, and Chu Shenxia only had to think about it for a moment to know that he and the emperor must be planning something, so he would perform such a play in front of everyone.

Although the disaster in Zhengzhou is serious and terrible, Qingzhou, not far from Zhengzhou, is the location of the Liuli Infantry Army.

Moreover, Jixian is the only place for Qi to invade Jincheng in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Qingzhou is adjacent to Jixian County.

It seems that the prince was sent to a place of extreme hardship by the emperor for his disrespectful words, but in fact, he quietly deployed troops, and the emperor, the old fox, played more loudly than anyone else.

The guards of the Thirteen Princes relaxed slightly, as if they were luring the people of the Qi Kingdom to save people.

The bad thing is that this is bad, the abolished prince thought about it for a long time and finally felt that something was wrong, he was several years older than King Shun, and he knew much more about the emperor than King Shun.

At this time, it was too coincidental to send King Shun to Zhengzhou, there could never be a coincidence in this emperor, all coincidences were conspiracies.

The waste prince sneered again and again, and the viciousness in his eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he could see through the place where his gaze touched.

One of the people standing next to him laughed out loud: "Is the prince planning to do the plan?" ”
