918 A Legendary Life19.0
The old queen mother knows very well that over the years, the small actions she has made behind her back have not actually been hidden from the eyes of Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde. Therefore, once Emperor Jiaren passed his throne to Emperor Chongde, and Emperor Chongde succeeded smoothly, the first person to suffer would definitely be himself.
She regretted that she threw her younger brother out to test the waters too early, if she could keep him, her mother's power would not have fallen into the hands of Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde so early, resulting in a huge disparity between her and her son and grandson.
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that King Tong and his grandson seem to have parted ways, even if King Tong's strength is strong, he can't be his grandson's help, so his chances of winning will be greater.
After comparing the strength of herself and Emperor Chongde, after thinking about a variety of plans, the old queen still decided to act, this is her last chance, and she is sorry for so many years of hard work if she doesn't fight.
"What does she want to do with this desperate gamble?" Jin Miaomiao frowned slightly, "How many people does she have, Emperor Chongde and King Tong know it in their hearts, is it possible, she has other unknown hole cards in her hand?" ”
"That's right, she still has a hole card in her hand, which was actually given to her by her father before he died, and there are not many of them, only thirty." Song Qiyun cleaned up all the food residues on the table, put them into the food box again, wiped the table with a rag, and put the food box at the door. "Don't underestimate these thirty people, just like the people under King Tong, with one enemy and ten, the difference is that King Tong's people are more comprehensive, good at assassination, sneak attacks, and can also fight with the enemy head-on on the battlefield. And the people in the hands of the old lady are only good at assassination and sneak attacks, and they are real killers. ”
"These killers have been cultivated since childhood?"
"That's right, after the matter was revealed, the old lady told Emperor Chongde and King Tong that these thirty people were left to the end through a very cruel and strict selection, and those secret guards who were responsible for protecting Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde were usually used for them to practice. The children who were sent to that secret place, there were 300 people at the beginning, about four to six years old, and they took a small test every five days, and those who failed the assessment were demerited once, and those who failed the assessment three times in a row, and those who did not meet the requirements were completely eliminated. Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao, "This complete elimination is not to send these children to other places and let them return to normal life like ordinary children, but to ......" She wiped her neck lightly, "completely erase the existence of these children." ”
"Is it so brutal? Aren't the families of those children looking for it? Or are these children abducted or orphaned, so this is the only way for them to survive? Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "I remember, one of the employers of the traffickers who abducted King Tong won't be the old lady's mother's family, right?" Because of the high position, it is inconvenient for him to come forward, and it is possible to find several people who are responsible, so when Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde thoroughly investigated the case, it did not affect them. ”
"Quite possibly, otherwise where would you find so many children? If these children have a background and they disappear inexplicably, will the family not track them down? Shen Haolin agreed with Jin Miaomiao's inference, "Completely erasing the existence of these children is also afraid that what they are doing behind their backs will be leaked." ”
"For fear that your secret will be discovered, so you kill people and kill people?" Seeing Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodding, Jin Miaomiao sighed, "Heaven is evil, it is still violated, people are evil, and you can't live." The old queen's maiden family will be folded in the hands of King Tong, which can be regarded as a kind of retribution. After all, if King Tong hadn't met Emperor Chongde and hadn't been brought back by Emperor Chongde, I'm afraid he would have ended up like those children. ”
"It's not that I don't report it, the time has not come." Song Qiyun sighed, "The old lady and the old lady's maiden family ended up in such a bleak end, and they deserve it, and they do it themselves, and they can't complain about others." ”
"Because the old lady still has such a hole card in her hand, she has the confidence in her heart and begins to plan the biggest assassination." Shen Cha took a sip of tea, "According to the custom of the previous dynasty, before the crown prince inherited the throne, he had to live in Huangding Mountain for a month before the enthronement ceremony, and during this month's time, they had to eat fasting and chant in front of the ancestors' spiritual throne. However, there is no requirement for when to live, it can be half a year in advance, or a month in advance. Emperor Chongde and King Tong discussed, and they decided to go to Huangding Mountain three months before the enthronement ceremony, which was not particularly busy at that time, and if it was any later, they would be too late. ”
"Huangding Mountain again?" Jin Miaomiao smiled helplessly, "No wonder Huangding Mountain is deserted, the successive assassinations are really unlucky." However, Emperor Chongde's health was not very good at that time, right? ”
"It's been almost a year since the arsenic case, and I can barely recuperate, but the root of the disease has fallen. According to the doctor's instructions, Emperor Chongde could not blow the wind, freeze, or catch a cold, otherwise it would arouse old illness. ”
"Yes." Jin Miaomiao nodded and agreed with this statement, "No matter what root of the disease falls, as long as it hurts the root, keeping warm is the most basic." No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, even if it is a hot summer, you can't be cold. When did they go to Huangding Mountain? ”
"And when they chose to go to Huangding Mountain, it was just winter, and it was not particularly cold. The old lady knew that they were going to Huangding Mountain, so she arranged people along the way in advance, and if she could kill Emperor Chongde on the way, she didn't have to wait until Huangding Mountain to do it. It doesn't matter if they miss, she still has a backhand. The little masters in the Huangding Mountain Temple have long been replaced by her people, and Emperor Chongde and King Tong's trip is tantamount to throwing themselves into a net. If the normal development is followed, Emperor Chongde and King Tong will definitely die. ”
"But Emperor Chongde and King Tong did not fall into the trap, so it is an abnormal development?"
"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "They left a back hand, and it was not them who followed the guard of honor, but their guards pretended to be." They themselves had already taken their henchmen to the palace at the foot of Huangding Mountain ten days in advance, and in the ten days of the palace, they had already sent their henchmen to investigate the situation on Huangding Mountain and discovered the secrets there. ”
"Solve those fake little masters?"
"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, the old lady has been planning for many years, and in the end she fell short, so she can only leave this world with regret and hatred for her son and grandson." ”
