Chapter 213: The Last Madness
The emperor won, and he won very thoroughly, but there was no half-point of joy in his expression, only exhaustion and heaviness.
The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the collapse of the prince group, the political pattern of Daxia is bound to be completely reshuffled. The Emperor's handling of the aftermath and how to reconstruct a new balance of power will take a lot of time and energy, and it will not end overnight. There are many famous ministers and fierce generals in Great Xia, and the emperor has been in control for more than 20 years like a chess piece, and the power and strategy of the lord in the troubled times have also been tempered. Therefore, Yang Zhi did not doubt the emperor's ability at all, and only pointed to the point, and tactfully advised him not to go on a killing spree. The emperor should be extremely glad that because the crown prince and Wei Su were too naΓ―ve, it did not lead to a civil war, and Great Xia would not be greatly damaged because of this.
Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. Several hardcore henchmen under the command of Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, especially Wang Wenguang and Yan Fang, are undoubtedly the ones who have made the biggest money in this big drama. At this moment, the two are still extremely clear-headed and act very neatly. Yan Fang led the 400 soldiers of the army to divide into two roads and went straight to the East Palace Prince's Mansion and the Queen's Bedroom. Wang Wenguang also quickly entered the role of the general of the inner court, first selected 500 soldiers to clear the way for the holy car to enter the palace, and then assigned people to guard the four gates of the palace, deployed to take over the key positions in the palace to guard, and placed the original inner court guards out of the palace to assemble and many other matters. After just one meal, Wang Wenguang was able to rush over to accompany him. This person is so shrewd and capable, will the day of soaring be far away?
Although the battle between the emperor and the crown prince's father and son can also be called thrilling, the prince can't even be regarded as having no power to fight back, and he has no chance to fight back, or the prince has never thought about how to fight back. The emperor had planned to enter the palace early in the morning, but Yang Zhixin thought that he was too optimistic, and he didn't want to wait until the dust settled.
This drama has come to an end, and another drama has just begun. The emperor's first stop after returning to the palace. It is neither the prince's mansion in the East Palace, nor the queen's bedroom, but he keeps walking towards the palace where he lives.
The emperor's bedroom is brightly lit, and you can faintly smell the medicinal fragrance from a distance. There is no need for the emperor's orders. Wang Wenguang took the lead and ordered his subordinate sergeants to clear the original inner court guards and enclose the palace impenetrable. The eunuchs and maidservants who originally served the emperor in the palace knelt on the ground, and the emperor walked straight into the inner room with a gloomy face, only the close attendant Ma Cheng stepped forward excitedly and bowed, shouting: "Welcome the emperor back to the palace!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! β
Ma Cheng was undoubtedly the key figure in Qin Gong's ability to successfully transfer the emperor out of danger. There is not a moment spent with my head pinned to my waist, and it is not difficult to imagine what a painful ordeal it is. After saluting, he couldn't help but cry at the throat of the male duck.
Ma Cheng has been serving the emperor for many years, whether he is revealing his true feelings or finally staying up to catharsis, how can this cry not make the emperor feel emotional? The emperor sighed and said, "Isn't it good for me? Why are you crying when you kill you? Get up! β
The fake emperor on the dragon couch is still glazed-eyed, the corners of his mouth are crooked, and his saliva is flowing, no different from the living dead. The two people kneeling in front of the couch trembled like chaff, except for Imperial Doctor Li and Imperial Doctor Hu, who could it be when the emperor personally ordered them to accompany him when he was on the expedition?
"I want to change my clothes. Oh, Zhi'er. There is no need to shy away from it. The emperor didn't even look at them, and before Ma Cheng could get up and stand firmly, he immediately went to get the full set of clothes that the emperor wore on weekdays. The emperor didn't want to pay attention to the usual cumbersome pomp, took off the dark robe and the armor inside and threw it aside, and did not need Ma Cheng to serve, even the inner clothes and court boots were exempted, and only wore a golden crown and changed into a dragon robe. Then he walked to the bronze mirror to tidy up a little, and saw that the emperor who was afraid to look up to him was back again, so he let out a long breath.
Yang Zhi can fully understand the emperor's mood at this time, and only in this way will the emperor have a down-to-earth and true sense of belonging. The emperor then pointed to the stand-in on the dragon couch and ordered, "Ma Cheng." You've cooked this person. As for these two skilled doctors, ....... β
The two imperial doctors lay on the ground and didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, and when they heard this, they were shocked, and begged with their heads again and again: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! The villains were all ...... by the prince. β
The emperor frowned, turned around and shouted softly: "Qin Yong!" β
Qin Yong nodded slightly. Even Yang Zhi saw the old man's right hand tremble slightly, and the pleading voices of the two unlucky imperial doctors stopped abruptly, and they fell down softly like two messes of mud. With such a master-level expert who silently kills people and invisible people by the emperor's side, Yang Zhi knew that his task as a super bodyguard had been successfully completed, and he didn't want to or want to get involved in the next thing. I only thought about how to choose the opportunity to slip away so that I could meet Xu Wenhan. Discuss how to keep Wei Su alive.
Ma Cheng's cooking of the fake emperor who is worse than death does not need to spend too much effort. In front of the dragon couch, he pulled the dragon brocade quilt and covered the head of the fake emperor. I only heard the false emperor whine twice, and his limbs struggled and twitched slightly, and he no longer moved. Since the moment he was selected as the emperor's stand-in, this person should have been ready for today's day, and he thought that the Duke of Qin would at least ensure that his family and children would have no worries about food and clothing for life.
The emperor looked at all this expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Wen Guang, except for Ma Cheng, there is no palace maid left here, and the corpse will be transported to the human field immediately." - Zhi'er, drive the East Palace! Let's go and meet that good filial son for a while! β
As soon as everyone followed the emperor out of the palace gate, there were bursts of terrible screams behind them. At this moment, except for acting according to orders, no one will be stupid enough to say a word. The emperor almost capsized in the gutter of his own son, and it is certain that he has a psychological disorder in the dormitory. Dealing with those innocent palace maids is nothing more than to extinguish the mouth, but it does not have much practical significance to cover up this matter. It's not so much to extinguish the mouth, but to say that the nameless evil fire in the emperor's heart has nowhere to vent.
Wang Wenguang cooperated closely with Yan Fang, acted quickly and rarely made mistakes. The East Palace Prince's Mansion had already been cleared, and it was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers so that not even a fly could fly in. Yan Fang was already waiting outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Weichen ......." β
"Needless to say." The Emperor suddenly stopped, shook his head, took a deep breath, and coughed lightly.
There was no chaos in the Prince's Palace, and it was clear that there was no futile resistance. The crown prince Zhao Heng's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were blurred, he was dressed in a strict crown of the prince's robe, and he sat high on the Yin'an Hall like a solidified statue, but he turned a blind eye to the emperor and Yang Zhi and others. At the feet of the prince lay motionless on her back a young woman wearing a luxurious palace costume and a posture of only middle and upper-middle, bleeding from the seven orifices but looking calm, holding a Xuanhuang wine cup in her hand, obviously committing suicide by taking poison, and having been dead for a long time.
This young woman in palace clothes must be the daughter of Wei Su and the sister of her righteous brother Wei Feiyang, and the current crown princess Wei. Yang Zhi had only seen Concubine Wei two or three times from afar, and he had never even seen his face very clearly, and at this moment he had become a ghost in the underworld, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Yan Fang presented a plain note from the side: "Your Majesty, when Weichen rushed to the East Palace, the crown princess had died of medicine, but fortunately, the prince's hand was poisoned and the wine was taken by Weichen in time." Weichen is incompetent, and the emperor begs for forgiveness. This is a desperate letter left by the crown princess, and I respectfully invite the emperor to read it. β
There are about hundreds of words on the plain paper, and the handwriting is neat and beautiful, and it is by no means hastily written before death, which shows that Concubine Wei has already germinated the will of life and death at least when the soldiers surrounded the city last night.
"Wei's intentions are to know that it is nothing more than to intercede with his father and brother for this rebellious son to die to exonerate him, and he doesn't want to look at it." The emperor took the plain note with a complicated expression, and if he really didn't take a look, he slowly tore his hand apart, and sighed: "My daughter-in-law has a simple temperament, is virtuous and courteous, and it was I who single-handedly contributed to this family affair back then. I hurt her! Message: I will not add another crime to the Wei family, and will still be buried with the gift of the crown princess. The two imperial grandsons born by the Wei family were sent to Concubine Mei to take care of. β
Suddenly looked up at the crown prince, and said with a sarcastic expression: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the prince, don't you feel half guilty that such a virtuous wife was humiliated and died because of you?" β
The prince suddenly laughed like a madman: "Hahahaha! Father, you won, you should be satisfied, right? I was ashamed of Wei's, I wanted to accompany her to Huangquan, but I couldn't die. It's good to be dead! It's a hundred. In the more than ten years since I was appointed as the crown prince, how have I ever had a moment of peace? I...... I'm so tired. Now it's okay, you don't have to be so tired in the future, it's finally the end! β
The emperor sneered contemptuously: "That's because you can't support the wall in the mud, and the mediocrity disturbs yourself!" You are to blame for falling into the field today, and who is to blame? Anyway, you're bleeding from me, look at your virtue! How? Do you have the courage to kill your father and rebel, but you can't afford to lose? β
The crown prince sneered: "There is no father and son in the heavenly family, and the emperor has no family affairs, this is what you taught me." Whether it's killing your father or rebelling, you're forcing it out. A loss is a loss, I have nothing to say. My life was originally given by you, and I can't afford to lose anything, if I want to kill or chop, listen to it. β
The father and son reached this point, and the prince no longer had any scruples. Since he was born out of his mother's womb, he has always lowered his eyebrows and trembled in front of the emperor, and it was the first time he dared to talk to the emperor like this. While breaking down and despairing, I felt indescribable joy in my heart.
The emperor choked on the crown prince, and he was so angry that his hair trembled: "You?!" You...... You rebel! When you are dying, you still do not repent? Do you think I really wouldn't dare kill you? β
Yang Zhi watched coldly, and he could see it: the last madness of the prince in this scene was to only seek a quick death, and he obviously wanted to deliberately provoke the emperor to kill him!
