Chapter Seventy-Eight: Provocation
King Qin stretched out his hand and pressed his scar hard, knowing that the gauze was bleeding before letting go: "This king naturally won't let Beiye Xuan find any handle." ”
But King Qin knew in his heart that he and Beiye Xuan had always known what to do. Beiye Xuan released this kind of news just to want to mess with himself, and Beiye Xuan also knew in his heart that the person who assassinated him would not be anyone else except King Qin.
"This king remembers that the emperor will go to the rooftop to pray for blessings this afternoon, doesn't he?" King Qin asked with half-squinted eyes.
The subordinate immediately said: "Yes, the things have been prepared a few days ago. What does the prince want to do? ”
King Qin smiled mysteriously, and whispered a few words in the ears of his subordinates.
Kitano Xuan was injured and idle at home, and the news came back at ten o'clock in the evening that the emperor was assassinated on the rooftop, and the king of Qin stepped forward to save the driver and was injured, and he fell into a coma on the spot.
"Hmph, King Qin can't bear it anymore, for fear that his injuries will be exposed, and he even stepped out of this dangerous move." Kitano Xuan wiped his sword blade unhurriedly and pulled a sword flower in his hand.
The Holy Master smiled and said, "This is a good thing for Your Highness. This King Qin suffered by himself, and his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness, thinking that he was seamless, but he didn't know that he had already seen through it by His Royal Highness and the emperor. ”
Kitano Xuan smiled meaningfully: "The teacher thinks so too? "Although the emperor looks a little unreliable on weekdays, he is the one who sees it most clearly. No matter how these people under them fight, as long as they don't hurt the feelings on the surface, the emperor doesn't care.
But King Qin shouldn't have used the emperor to make a show, just to get rid of his suspicion.
Since the emperor was also assassinated, rumors have arisen for a while, all of which say that this assassin and the assassin who assassinated Kitano Xuan are a group of people, both of whom are looking for revenge from the royal family.
Kitano Xuan took the opportunity to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
"It's the son's incompetence that he couldn't do this for his father. Today, even the safety of his father is threatened. Kitano Xuan said bitterly.
The emperor was so frightened that his hands were still trembling slightly, and when he thought of the tip of the sword that was close to him, his whole person became nervous: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you San Lang." Get up quickly. The emperor couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he spoke.
Kitano Xuan immediately stood up and helped the emperor: "My father is frightened today, it's all the son's fault, and the son's minister will definitely catch that group of people." ”
The emperor waved his hand and said weakly: "No need, no need." King Qin has already caught a few of his comrades, you go and ask for questions. ”
Kitano Xuan had this intention, and he didn't just want to see the emperor when he entered the palace.
The people that King Qin "caught" were nothing more than ordinary-looking ones who couldn't be found if they fell into the pile, after all, only such people could do this kind of thing.
"I don't think you will tell me who sent you to assassinate the emperor, right?" Kitano Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people in front of him, he just wanted to make sure if King Qin really pushed his subordinates out as a substitute for the dead ghost.
Neither of them spoke, and Kitano Xuan had a rough idea in his heart.
Bei Ye Xuan, who returned to the emperor's palace, directly brought himself into the palace to seal the evidence and showed it to the emperor: "This is what Erchen has been secretly investigating a few days ago, King Qin has already begun to train soldiers in secret, and now the number has long been too large." ”
The emperor's hands kept trembling, and after hearing Kitano Xuan's words, he sneered: "Okay, good!" I didn't expect it to be him! I have spoiled him and clinged to him for so many years, but I didn't expect to raise a wolf! ”
Kitano Xuan looked at the emperor's trembling appearance and was a little worried: "Father, these are trivial matters, now that they have been found out, they are not afraid of any changes, and the emperor still has to take care of his body with peace of mind." ”
The emperor was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak, and sat on the dragon chair and couldn't speak for a long time.
After Xiao Jingmo left the palace, it was already night, and there were rumors for a while, all of which said that the third prince was favored by the emperor and felt that he was a candidate who could serve as the prince, so he would leave the third prince in the palace for a whole day.
When King Qin heard the news, he forcibly broke off one of his swords: "That's what you really said?" "I've been working hard for so long, how can I watch Kitano Xuan take all this?
The subordinate bowed his head and said: "This is just a rumor in the palace, the prince doesn't have to listen to it, what to do depends on the emperor's intentions." The prince just fell into the trap of the three princes not long ago, is this time he going to fulfill the wish of the three princes? ”
The people under him are talking about the fact that King Qin was pushed out by Beiye Xuan's design to take the blame.
"No, this king can't watch Kitano Xuan take all this." King Qin muttered to himself, obviously not listening to his subordinates.
"Lord Wang! It's all just rumors in the palace! The rumors are not credible, could it be that the prince has lived in the palace for so many years, and he doesn't even know about this matter? "The subordinates are panicked, it is difficult to guarantee that King Qin will not do anything to lose both, and it will be the third prince Beiye Xuan who will benefit at that time.
King Qin closed his eyes and thought for a long time: "This king knows, and then go and investigate this matter carefully, if this is really the case...... If this is really the case, he doesn't mind advancing his plan.
On the morning of the second day, Kitano Xuan stood at the forefront of everyone rarely. It used to be the location of the King of Qin.
Beiye Xuan was not crowned king, so naturally he was not as noble as King Qin, but now he stood in front of King Qin...... Who is the person who can have the noble position of King Qin in the middle of the court? I'm afraid there is no one else but the crown prince.
"The third prince can't wait to be in the limelight?" King Qin squinted his eyes and stood behind Kitano Xuan, it was impossible for him to give up this position.
Kitano Xuan smiled and said: "King Qin, don't be too surprised, this is also why the emperor asked me to come here, saying that I was standing far away and the emperor was afraid that he would not be able to see it, but I didn't expect to occupy the position of the prince, but sooner or later the prince will have to give up this position, what does it matter if it is a little earlier or later?" ”
King Qin was so angry that he almost vomited blood, this Beiye Xuan spoke every word, and he couldn't wait to directly say that King Qin would be an unfavored prince sooner or later, why fight with him here!
"Yes, yes! This king wants the emperor to comment on reason, how can a prince who doesn't even have a title stand in front of this king! King Qin was furious and pointed at Beiye Xuan and said.
Beiye Xuan was there, and he didn't care about King Qin's anger, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The ministers next to them were stunned, and they really couldn't figure out what kind of trouble this was.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a smile, looked at Kitano Xuan and said, "San Lang is here, I can just see San Lang's appearance." ”
King Qin, who was originally going to sue, was really going to vomit blood in anger now, and the emperor did it on purpose, just to want to come over with Beiye Xuan to anger himself!
"Your Majesty! The three princes don't even have titles, how can they stand at the head of the ministers? Didn't the emperor think that the third prince was too presumptuous? "King Qin can't wait to sue, and he doesn't care what the emperor's face is.
The emperor immediately put on a straight face, looked at King Qin and said, "What's the matter, I am very satisfied with San Lang like this, does King Qin have any opinions?" ”
King Qin wanted to say that this was unruly, and he also wanted to say that the third prince was arrogant, and he wanted to say that this position should be the position of the crown prince, and it was the position of his own heart, but in the end he still didn't say it.
"What's more, whether San Lang has this qualification or not now, but sooner or later, why should King Qin be so careful?" The emperor continued.
King Qin's heart sank fiercely. If he could still regard last night's rumors as groundless, then today he could really be sure that those rumors must have real evidence, otherwise those palace people would not dare to talk nonsense everywhere.
King Qin had no choice but to restrain his dissatisfaction, and said respectfully: "Yes, it was the retainer who was rude, and I ask the emperor not to blame." ”
The emperor glanced at King Qin dissatisfied, and after a while, he said that he was not feeling well, and went down to the early court.
"Lord Wang...... His Royal Highness the King of Qin! Beiye Xuan shouted after King Qin.
King Qin forcibly held back the anger in his heart and reluctantly smiled: "What's the matter? ”
Kitano Xuan said with some shame: "Please don't be too surprised by the matter of the early dynasty today, I didn't mean it, it's just that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”
King Qin's chest hurts a little, is it difficult to disobey the emperor's order? Kitano Xuan wanted to tell himself, in fact, he didn't want any prince who was not very sonous, but these were all what the emperor wanted to give him?
Seeing King Qin's pale face, Beiye Xuan immediately said: "Speaking of which, I still have to accompany the emperor to discuss things, so I won't accompany King Qin to chat, and the prince will go slowly." ”
King Qin looked at Beiye Xuan's back thoughtfully. If he was still wondering if this rumor was fake news released by Kitano Xuan in order to force himself last night, then today he would be able to confirm that the emperor has really taken a fancy to Kitano Xuan as the heir, which means that he has worked hard for so long in vain.
"Go back and call those people over, this king has something to see." King Qin said expressionlessly.
His subordinates understood that King Qin was talking about those people, but once they used those people, they would undoubtedly embark on a dead end.
"Has the prince made up his mind?" The subordinate asked, once the King of Qin embarked on this road, he could not regret it, there were not a few people who followed the King of Qin, once the King of Qin made a mistake in judgment, they would be sent to death.
King Qin sneered: "They are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Instead of waiting for no purpose day by day, it is better for this king to take the initiative and get everything he wants. ”
Seeing that King Qin's mind had decided not to say more, his subordinates could only say: "Since it is the prince's decision, the subordinates will definitely obey the prince's instructions to do it, and the subordinates will definitely not say a word more than what the prince asks his subordinates to do." The subordinate said respectfully.
