Chapter 44: Pretending to be crazy and stupid

The four princes and the five princes were the vassal kings of Dongzhou and Zhongzhou respectively, and they were all called back by the emperor because they were seriously ill at this moment. At this moment, he heard that the regent was planning to rebel, and he came to inquire about the situation.

The prince selfishly did not like these two princes, so his joy and anger were all expressed on his face. He found a chaise longue to lie down, and didn't give the two brothers a seat, so he said to himself: "If you really come here because you want to be in the palace, it really can't be better." ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers and deliberately showed the two princes. After they saw it, they immediately understood: "When we came, we prepared a lot of gifts for the eldest brother, all of which are rare treasures. ”

That's pretty much it.

The prince sat up and asked, "Say, what do you want to ask?" ”

The fourth prince hesitated, and sighed: "This matter is just hearsay from me, I don't know if it's true or not, if it's not right, I hope that the eldest brother will be blamed." ”

"Say."

"I have heard that my father is not sick at all, and that he is in a hurry to summon us back to the palace, first because he wants to use our hands to get rid of the stumbling block of the regent. I came here to kill each other between you and my brothers, so as to consolidate his position as emperor......"

"Smack!" The prince patted the chaise longue, immediately stood up from the chair, and shouted coldly: "Presumptuous! ”

"Big brother, don't blame, the two of us really have no intention of fighting for the throne, we just want to go back and guard our own one-third of an acre. If this thing is fake, then it is naturally better, if it is true, I hope that in the future, the eldest brother will make a move and let the two of me live. ”

If nothing else, the crown prince will have to sit on the throne sooner or later, if they are involved in the two of them at this juncture, and the prince sits on the throne one day, the prince will recall today's dispute in the future, and it will cost them their lives. They must protect themselves.

The crown prince's brows furrowed, thinking back on the past two days, he really felt that he was suspected of being used as a gunman.

After the two brothers left, their words gradually took root in the prince's heart, so that the prince could not sleep all night.

In order to confirm his conjecture, early the next morning, the prince entered the palace to meet the emperor. At this time, the sky was bright, and the emperor hadn't even crawled out of the gentle incense, when he heard Gonggong Li come to report that the prince had entered the palace.

As soon as he heard that the prince was coming, he got up from the bed in a panic and hurried out.

At this time, the crown prince had learned from the palace maid that the emperor had often slept in the harem in recent days. He knocked on the side, and also learned from the eunuch that the emperor has been eating good fish and meat in recent days.

Imagine a seriously ill person who is lying down, where does he have the energy to get drunk in the gentle township, and how can he eat so many taboo things?

At this time, the crown prince had already confirmed most of his suspicions of the emperor in his heart.

A moment later, the emperor was pushed through the door in a wheelchair and pretending to be extremely weak. At the moment of entering the door, the emperor deliberately coughed heavily.

After coughing, the emperor said, "Why did the prince come to me so early?" ”

"Father," the crown prince clenched his fists and said with mixed feelings, "the retainer has come to discuss how to deal with the matter of the regent. ”

"Oh?" The emperor was instantly interested. What to do with the regent? Needless to say? Either he was dismissed and exiled to the frontier, so that he would never have a bright future, or he found an opportunity to kill him, so as to eliminate the worries of the future.

Thinking like this, the emperor didn't answer, but asked the prince, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

The crown prince frowned, and his heart, which was eager to solve the problem immediately, faded a lot at this moment, and he said: "The one who said the words of rebellion on the river last night was just the second prince who was drunk, according to the opinion of the sons, although the regent is guilty, he will not die of guilt." ”

"What?!"

The emperor got up from his chair and said angrily: "Do you know what you're talking about?!" Yun Jingyao is in one day, my throne will be in danger, if even I can't sit in this position, how can I have your place in the future?! ”

At this time, the emperor had already exposed all his thoughts. He really wanted to get rid of the regent with their hands, and then sit back and enjoy it.

The prince faintly wanted to be angry, but soon, he calmed down again. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, the prince got up, hugged his fists and said: "It seems that the sons and daughters have thought about it, and they will follow the teachings of their father, and the sons will go back and discuss the execution of the regent with the ministers." ”

"Okay." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again. Pretending to be weak, he coughed heavily.

The crown prince was just about to lift his feet and leave, but at this moment, Gonggong Li suddenly broke in in a panic and said, "The emperor ...... Your Majesty, it's not good. ”

The emperor frowned and said unhappily: "What's the matter?" ”

"The second prince is ...... He's crazy! ”

"What?!"

A moment later, the second prince was taken out of prison. As soon as he entered the main hall, his body fell limply. Seeing this, the prince was about to help him up, but the second prince suddenly bounced and sat up from the ground.

He staggered in the hall and said with a smile: "I am the king of heaven!" I have 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, who are you? How dare you tie up the king of heaven?! ”

Seeing that he was disrespectful, Gonggong Li on the side stepped forward and was about to blame him, but the second prince twisted it in his hand The second prince guards the frontier all the year round, and his force is notoriously strong, he effortlessly lifted Gonggong Li up from the ground, and laughed: "Hahaha, good!" ”

After laughing, the second prince took Gonggong Li aside with one arm, and wanted to arrest someone to carry it.

The crown prince made a quick decision and immediately sent four or five first-class masters to bind the second prince. Moments later, the second prince was subdued. The crown prince hurriedly walked over, looked at the second prince carefully, he pursed his lips, and said, "Is it really crazy or fake crazy?" ”

"If you deceive the king in order to avoid responsibility, it is a great crime to deceive the king, and it will be a crime of one more degree."

"Bold child, don't be a fool, I am the king of heaven, I have 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals! If you offend your grandfather, you will be made good-looking! Don't hurry up and untie your grandfather! ”

After speaking, the second prince waved his arms, and the huge inertia almost knocked the big men who held him to the ground.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh heavily, "I think it's really crazy, so let him go." ”

After all, his goal is the regent, and the second prince is just a bait he uses to catch the regent.

As soon as the emperor had such an idea, the prince said: "Never! Not to mention that the second prince's retort was said before or after madness, he must be guilty, otherwise you let him go like this, isn't it equivalent to telling the world that the regent is not guilty? ”

"This ......" the emperor patted his head, and reacted after realizing it. He said, "What should you think of it?" ”
