Chapter 31 King Qi's Means
A soft sedan chair carried the King of Qi to the prince living in the Yulin Hall slowly, Li Xian is now trapped by the drug, although he can barely move, but he can't walk so far, the Yulin Palace is on the east side of the Hunting Palace, and the Xuanhua Garden where the King of Qi lives is on the west side, there are several miles between the two, so naturally they can only go by sedan chair, the four warriors who carry the sedan chair are the guards of the King of Qi's cronies, even the princess of Qi can't call them casually, Qin Zheng took two maids to lead the way.
The group arrived at the Yulin Palace, where the defense was very tight, Xiao Lan heard that the King of Qi had arrived, and personally came out to greet her, she was also dressed in a strong suit, and when she saw Li Xian, who was helped out of the sedan chair by Qin Zheng, she stepped forward and saluted: "The sixth uncle is here, His Royal Highness must be very happy." β
Li Xian said coldly: "Li Xian is just a prisoner under the steps of your family now, how dare you be a great gift." β
Xiao Lan showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, but immediately smiled and said: "Sixth Uncle, this matter is wrong for us, please forgive Sixth Uncle, Your Highness is waiting inside." β
Li Xian walked into the hall, only to see Li An standing in the hall with his hands in his hands, and the young prince Lu Jingzhong stood aside, although Lu Jingzhong had been placed under house arrest by Fengyimen, but now the situation was urgent, at the request of the prince, Fengyimen had to release him again, but he was not allowed to leave the Yulin Palace. Or because of this, and the prince didn't protect him wholeheartedly, so his expression was a little cold and haggard.
As soon as he saw Li Xian, Li An cordially stepped forward to hold Li Xian's hand and said: "Sixth brother, you are here, this time you will definitely help the gang as a brother, you know, now that your brother is already a ship to the heart of the river, you can't turn back, either ascending the throne as the emperor, or being imprisoned and given death." My brother and sister are also rebellious, if you don't do your best, if you fail for your brother at that time, you won't be able to get out of it. β
Li Xian said calmly: "The junior brother knows the current situation, but hasn't the prince already sent an edict to recruit the Qin family's army?" β
Li An was slightly stunned, and said abruptly: "After all, the Qin family army is not my descendant, if something happens, it is really difficult to control." If the sixth brother and your army come, the throne of the elder brother can be as stable as Mount Tai. β
Li Xian said with a smile: "Since this is the case, please ask the prince to relieve the poison on my body and let me go to the army to sit in the army." β
As soon as this sentence came out, Li An was immediately speechless, he looked at Xiao Lan, his expression was a little embarrassed, at this time Lu Jingzhong said: "His Royal Highness King Qi's daughter's body, now King Yong is still on the run, if His Royal Highness is in danger, if there are three long and two short, wouldn't it make the prince worry, it's better to be here, as long as His Royal Highness sends a letter, let His Royal Highness's army march to the palace in a hurry, I don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to serve the prince." β
Li Xian said coldly: "Who doesn't know that King Yong's army is eyeing each other, if my army moves, I'm afraid it will alarm them, isn't the young master worried about self-defeating?" β
Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "King Yong's guards are stubborn, although the prince has sent people to chase and kill King Yong, and the Qin army will soon go to encircle and suppress, but if it is unfortunate to let King Yong and his army meet, it will inevitably make the battle situation more complicated, so the prince will hope that His Royal Highness will send an army to annihilate King Yong's troops." His Royal Highness's troops and King Yong's army are similar in strength, and the level of elite is also comparable, and I believe that His Highness will be able to win. That is, His Royal Highness cannot win for the time being, and the prince has ordered the Qin army to capture and kill King Yong, and then take the head of King Yong to help His Royal Highness put down the rebellion. When the time comes, His Royal Highness will be the greatest hero of King Qin, and the prince will definitely be rewarded heavily. β
Li Xian glanced at Lu Jingzhong deeply, and said in his heart that this person was really vicious, he actually let himself annihilate King Yong's guards, and then he was lucky to succeed and suffered heavy casualties, and most of King Yong's and his own army were at the border pass, and the Qin army guarding Gyeonggi was only loyal to the royal family, as long as he mastered his father, he could ensure that Li An ascended the throne. However, Li Xian didn't say anything about this person's vicious scheming, but just said coldly: "Okay, this king wants to write a book to mobilize the army, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to promise a few conditions to his younger brother." β
Li An was overjoyed and said: "The sixth brother is here. β
Li Xian said coldly: "First, no matter how we fight for the throne, it will not be a disaster for my wife and children, I don't care about the life and death of my second brother, but my second sister-in-law and nephew will not allow you to poison you." β
Li An frowned slightly and said: "Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the sixth brother is too soft-hearted, if the second brother wins, our wife and children will only have a dead end." β
Li Xian was silent, Lu Jingzhong gave a look, and Li An had to reluctantly say, "It's up to you." β
Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "The second condition, if you succeed to the throne, brother, you can't depose the imperial sister-in-law and the prince because of the merits of Fengyimen." β
Li An said briskly: "There is no problem with this, Lone also thinks so." β
Li Xian said lightly: "The third condition, I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite dissatisfied with his younger brother in the past, and I also asked His Royal Highness not to settle accounts after the autumn." β
Li An said embarrassedly: "How can it be, sixth brother, you helped Gu to obtain the throne, and Gu will definitely not take revenge." β
Li Xian nodded and said: "There is another small condition, now that I am trapped by the drug, it is difficult to even get out of bed, first detoxify my poison." β
Li An glanced at Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment and said: "The concubine only has an antidote that can temporarily make the prince move freely, if you want to recover your martial arts, I'm afraid you have to wait until the master arrives." β
Li An looked at King Qi, worried that he would turn against him, but Li Xian just said lightly: "This king is just lying on the bed and bored, and he is not in a hurry to recover his martial arts." β
Xiao Lan looked relieved, took out a pill and handed it to Li Xian, Li Xian took the pill and took it, after a while, he felt that his strength was gradually recovering, so he walked to the bookcase, wrote a letter with a wave, and turned to leave.
Walking on the royal road, Li Xian's expression was relaxed, as if he had nothing to worry about, and he no longer sat in a sedan chair, but walked towards Xuanhuayuan in a car. Qin Zheng saw that he was happy, and his heart was also very happy, so he walked slowly with him.
Therefore, no one noticed that the several samurai carrying the soft sedan chair slowed down, and diverted to approach Hanxiang Garden, which was already very deserted, and there were not many guards guarding it, so the four of them chose a secret place, hid the sedan chair, and plunged into Hanxiang Garden. After entering, one person was guarding outside, and the three of them entered Hanxiang Garden, and gently probed around, and finally the person who visited the princess's bedroom made a gesture, and the other two immediately flew over, and one of them gently pushed open the door of the palace, and then immediately dodged away.
Dong Que in the hall heard the sound, his whole body was shocked, and when he looked back, two warriors had flashed into the hall. Dong Quexin said badly, could it be that Xiahou Yuanfeng still told the informant, but if so, how could there be only two warriors. He didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't care about the unconscious Jiang Zhe, so he drew his sword and threw himself at the two warriors.
The two warriors were both first-class masters, and at the same time they drew their swords to fight back, both sides were silent, and exchanged a few moves, Dong Quefang's injury gradually oozing blood, and gradually lost his strength, and the other warrior also dodged in, avoiding the place where the three of them were fighting, and when he arrived at the bedside, he looked down to check Jiang Zhe's appearance, and after a while, he raised his head and made a gesture. The two samurai both looked shocked, and their sword skills became even more powerful. Another warrior said in a low voice: "We are subordinates of King Qi, no matter what status you are in King Yong's Mansion, you should know that His Royal Highness King Qi has never had any ill will towards Lord Jiang, and now that you are in danger, why don't you temporarily shelter His Highness?" β
Dong Que's expression moved, and his swordsmanship became even more scattered, and the two warriors stopped attacking when they saw this, just beware of Dong Que's attack. Dong Que also stopped, looked at the side of the bed, although the warrior said kindly, but only saw him standing beside Jiang Zhe with his hand on the hilt, Dong Que knew that there was no room for resistance, but he knew that his identity was not visible, and it was harmful to meet the King of Qi, after thinking for a while, he suddenly turned around and rushed out of the dormitory, and the warriors were all stunned, and they didn't expect him to abandon the master and escape. When the two warriors chased out the door, Dong Que, who was very skillful, had long since disappeared. As soon as the three of them discussed, no matter what Dong Que did, he would not go to the informant, anyway, Jiang Zhe had already arrived, so it was better to go back quickly.
They kidnapped the unconscious Jiang Zhe outside, hid him in a sedan chair, and then carried the sedan chair back to Xuanhuayuan as if nothing had happened, and no one paid attention to their actions along the way.
Back at Xuanhuayuan, they hid Jiang Zhe in the side hall according to the instructions of the king of Qi, and then a warrior went to return to the king of Qi. Qin Zheng had already gone back to Xiaoshuang Palace, so there were only two maids of Princess Qi in the room, and they didn't dare to disobey because of King Qi's cooperative attitude, and they were driven out by King Qi.
After this warrior reported in a low voice, Li Xian frowned slightly, although he was trapped, but the news was still very well-informed, not only Qin Zheng did not tell him some news, he also had a few cronies in the forbidden army, and naturally knew about King Yong's breakthrough, Princess Changle's mediation, and Wei Ying's search of Hanxiangyuan. Therefore, in his judgment, Jiang Zhe was likely to hide in Hanxiangyuan, so he took the opportunity to see the prince and let his men go to Hanxiangyuan to search. But now the situation is too weird, how Jiang Zhe's guards can escape is a problem with both reason and reason.
He was thinking about it, so the warrior said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Lord Jiang's breath is dying, if he is not treated, I am afraid that his life will be in danger." β
Li Xian was shocked and said, "Let the imperial doctor go to Jiang Zhe for diagnosis and treatment, remember, act carefully, don't leak the news and let the princess know." β
Li Xian came this time nominally because he was sick, so he specially brought a imperial doctor, and now he is in the side hall, which is just in use. The imperial doctor was very distressed at the moment, he was not a party of the prince, and now he was in such a predicament, if the situation changed, he might become a traitor, but he did not dare to disobey the order of the king of Qi. After entering the side hall, he saw Jiang Zhe is body shock, when Jiang Zhe was assassinated, he was also one of the imperial doctors who went to diagnose and treat, and naturally recognized King Yong's cronies. The scene in front of him made him confused, King Qi was obviously a party of the prince, how could he hide King Yong's staff. But he knew that it was better for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb in this kind of thing. As soon as he stepped forward to check the pulse, his brows tightened, and said: "This adult was originally sick, did he cultivate well, but now his heart is extremely weak, if he is not treated well, I am afraid that he will not survive tonight, I will prescribe a prescription, use ginseng juice to take medicine, and cultivate well, it can still be cured." The warriors were overjoyed and said, "Imperial Doctor Qiao, you have to heal well, if this person has three longs and two shorts, the prince will definitely not let you go." Imperial Doctor Qiao agreed again and again, the medicines he brought this time were very complete, and sure enough, after a few doses of medicine in a row, Jiang Zhe's face gradually became ruddy, his breath gradually thickened, and his expression was very peaceful. Doctor Qiao wiped his sweat and said, "It's finally fine, but the adult's body is too weak, and he needs to take care of himself." The two warriors looked at each other, they had also heard that this cronie of King Yong was extremely weak, and his master also respected him very much, and they could not imagine that he was such a weak scholar who seemed to die at any time.
There was nothing to do all night, and when it was almost dawn, Jiang Zhe finally opened his eyes. They hurriedly went to report to Li Xian, the king of Qi.
Feeling that someone was calling my name, I opened my eyes with difficulty, in fact, the last time I fainted, I was very doubtful that I would be able to wake up, although I was weak at the moment, but I still thanked God, and shouted in a low voice: "Dong Que, Dong Que." β
A voice came from his ear: "Suiyun, you are awake." β
I was shocked in my heart, this voice is very familiar, but it is definitely not Dong Que, I turned my head to look, but I saw King Qi hurriedly walking in, I subconsciously looked around, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that Zhe has become a prisoner under the steps, but I don't know how he is here with the prince?" β
Li Xian smiled bitterly, sat on the chair in front of the bed, and said: "When I see it today, it is like a different world, thinking that Suiyun has already strategized, and the second brother has already won the battle." β
I struggled to sit up, but my limbs were weak and I couldn't do it, so King Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help me, so I sat up and asked, "What time is it now?" β
Li Xian said lightly: "Today is already the twenty-second day of September, and it will be the hour soon." β
I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that King Qin's soldiers will arrive soon, I hope King Yong is still safe, and said calmly: "I don't know why I am here, what about the guards around me?" β
Li Xian said with a smile: "Yesterday I sent someone to Hanxiangyuan, and sure enough, I found you, and now no one knows that you are here except for this king and a few henchmen, and your guard is strange, seeing that you fell into the hands of my subordinates, he actually fled." β
I breathed a sigh of relief, if Dong Que met with King Qi, with King Qi's extraordinary intuition, I was afraid that there would be a danger of identity leakage.
Li Xian said with some regret: "Suiyun, you have worked hard for the second brother, if it weren't for the king's people to pick you up immediately, I'm afraid you would have died, why bother?" You should say, if you follow this king, why is this so? β
I smiled faintly and said, "Zhe received the great grace of His Royal Highness King Yong, if you don't do your best at this time, you won't live up to the great grace of King Yong." β
Li Xian said with a look of uncertainty on his face: "This king is confident that if you are willing to submit to me, this king will treat you by no means inferior to the second brother." β
I can't help but think of the scene when I was pressing step by step, but King Yong finally showed mercy and let me live, as if it was still yesterday, and after a while, I said: "Your Royal Highness is straightforward, talented, and Zhe is also very admired, but unfortunately His Highness made a wrong step at the beginning, and he is still in a dilemma, but the past is useless, I don't know if His Royal Highness can make a mistake this time?" β
Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Last night I agreed to their request and wrote a warrant to my subordinates. β
I was slightly stunned and said, "Your Highness should know that now His Highness's department doesn't need any strength?" β
Li Xian sighed and said: "My actual order is to let them stand still, they will not do anything, as for the eldest brother and the second brother, it is up to them who can win." β
I said respectfully: "Your Highness reined in the precipice, and the minister admires it very much. β
Li Xian said a little melancholy: "No matter who wins afterwards, I'm afraid the fate of this king will be no different, if the second brother wins, this king wants to ask the adult for something." β
I said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness saves the minister's life, if the minister can do it, it is to smear his liver and brain, and he will not hesitate, please show it to His Highness." β
Li Xian sighed and said: "I know that the winner is the king, if the prince wins, the second brother's family will definitely suffer, although yesterday the prince promised to let go of the family members of the Yongwang Mansion, but I understand that he is a person, even if it hinders my face for a while, he will find another way to kill them all." Similarly, if the second brother wins, the eldest brother's family will not end well. But they are all close relatives of flesh and blood, I really can't let it go, I hope that Suiyun will make a statement to the second brother, let go of the princess and the prince, and abolish them as concubines, the second brother has always been magnanimous, and maybe he can agree. If the second brother is willing to agree to this condition, I am willing to give up the military power in my hand. β
I was silent for a long time, and said, "Doesn't Your Highness think about yourself, the princess, and the prince?" β
Li Xian's complexion changed greatly, and he didn't speak for a long time, and then said: "I know it's impossible, Zheng'er participated in the rebellion, if the second brother wins, whether it is national law or family law, Zheng'er will not be spared, even my son and Zheng'er's son will also be implicated, or my father will take care of me not participating in the rebellion and spare my surname, but my wife and children are dead, what face do I have to enjoy wealth and wealth?" β
I glanced at Li Xian and knew that he was right, neither Princess Qi nor Prince Qi could get away with it. But it was inconvenient to say this, so I had to say: "Now the victory or defeat is not yet expected, Your Highness does not need to worry about it." β
Li Xian smiled bitterly and said: "This king doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes, but when I see Suiyun you are so calm and relaxed, I know that the prince's chances of winning are not great." β
Sent away King Qi, I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, before today, my heart and mind are how to increase King Yong's chips, nothing else can be taken care of, now how the situation develops has nothing to do with me, if King Yong is defeated, then I naturally have nothing to say, only to die in person, but if King Yong wins, how to deal with the future, then King Yong will definitely ask my opinion, my thoughts, will involve the life and death of tens of millions of people, not careless.
In my heart, the prince is naturally damned, Fengyimen must not continue to exist, and Wei Ying almost ruined the great cause of King Yong, no matter whether Wei Ying's matter Wei Guan knows or not, he will be connected, but Wei Guan is the respect of the prime minister, and there are countless protΓ©gΓ©s, how to deal with it properly, and not hurt the country. And the most important thing is King Qi. Although over the years, because of the King of Qi, the crown prince has been arrogant, and King Yong may have a deep resentment towards King Qi. But there is no doubt that the surname of King Qi is bright and fair, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is a rare handsome talent, if he is executed or degraded, it is a loss for Dayong. But King Qi is a fierce surname and a ruthless character, Princess Qi will become a dead knot between him and King Yong, if he easily lets go of King Qi, then he may have endless troubles in the future, which is really a dilemma. After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly smiled, these things will be handled properly by King Yong and Shi Yu, why should I bother? Thinking of this, I gradually relaxed, fell asleep, and everything should have a result today and tomorrow.
