Chapter 230: A World of Great Controversy in an Eventful Time
In this world, there are only three of them who know about this.
plus Pei Ji'an and Duan Qingshu.
These people are all people who have been by Ji Chen's side, admired or admired Ji Chen.
"I have no intention of fighting for power, Zhao Kou Ruoan sits on his throne in Kyoto, I will naturally assist him wholeheartedly, but if he can't tolerate Huaiyu, I won't be merciful to him."
The eighth prince was furious: "So you deliberately misled everyone in the court and let the Shen family army attack Anqing and send them to death?" Zhao Yan, don't forget, you have the surname Zhao on your head, and the blood of the Zhao family on your body, you are a member of the royal family, your ancestors' inheritance, you can't be presumptuous! β
"Uncle Wang." Zhao Yan was saluted, and his words were solemn, "Zhao Yan has never forgotten his identity. β
"Bang dang!"
The sound of the utensils came to the end, and the three of them were immediately silenced, and the eighth prince stood up, "Who?" β
He picked up his sword and walked out, and a figure quickly ran out of Mingde Hall, and when Huaiyu saw this, he rushed forward, and captured the man with three strikes and five divisions.
"The king forgives the sin."
The eighth prince raised his sword and was about to stab, but was stopped by Zhao Yan.
"This person can't be kept!"
He heard their conversation, how could he stay?
"Say, Who sent you?"
The man was very angry, and before the eighth prince could make a move, a stream of black blood slowly flowed out of the man's mouth, and he actually committed suicide by taking poison.
Huaiyu hurriedly stepped forward to check, and seeing that the person was not dead, Huaiyu quickly poured warm water and let the man drink and vomit, vomit and drink.
After tossing and turning like this five or six times, although the man was dying, he did not die, and fell to the ground and looked at the three of them weakly.
Huaiyu took out Duan Qinqin's medicine bottle from his bosom again, poured out a pill, and made the man swallow it with skill.
"There are always more antidotes than poisons in the world, I don't want you to die, you can't die." Huaiyu said, "Besides, the amount of arsenic you took is small, which is not enough to poison you, if you don't take my medicine, you will at most have mucous membranes ulceration, bleeding, and unbearable pain, and you will not be able to die." β
"I have a poison here that seals my throat with blood, and if you don't obey, I want you to die, and you really can't live."
Huaiyu said and approached the man: "Who sent you?" β
The man turned his head to the side violently.
"If you don't say it, I can guess it." Huaiyu looked at him calmly, "You are wearing the clothes of a first-class person in the palace, you must be a person from the palace-"
The corners of the man's mouth turned up slightly.
Huaiyu shook his head and said, "Oh, no. Although you are wearing the clothes of the people of the palace, the cuffs of this dress are two inches shorter, which obviously does not fit your size, and you must have changed it temporarily to impersonate the people of the palace. β
The person lying on the ground looked at Huaiyu angrily, if it weren't for the fact that his hands had been discounted by Zhao Yan, he would probably have rushed up and fought with Huaiyu at this time.
Huaiyu turned a blind eye to his angry eyes.
"You seem to hate me very much, but there are many people who hate me, and it is nothing to have you more." Huaiyu continued to look at him, "Even the shoes are clean and spotless, it rained all night in the middle of the night last night, although the sun is out this morning, but there is inevitably mud on the road, but your shoes are a little too clean." β
Saying that, Huaiyu looked at the eighth prince: "Please send someone to look around Mingde Hall, there must be an unfortunate first-class subordinate in a corner, who is already dead at this moment." β
The eighth prince was terrified.
Huaiyu turned around and continued to look at the man: "I guess, you are Prime Minister Wang's person?" That's the Eagle League? Could it be someone from the palace? β
"Oh, the Emperor sent you."
Huaiyu smiled and looked at Zhao Yan: "It seems that Zhao Kou's news is also very fast." β
Zhao Yan reluctantly scratched Huaiyu's nose.
"Uncle Wang, now this person is handed over to you."
Not long after, the palace guards sent out to look for people came back to report that they found a corpse that had been stripped of their clothes in a side hall of Mingde Hall, which was actually the little guy who had poured tea for the three people in Mingde Hall.
The eighth prince was so angry that he ordered someone to drag the man down and kill him.
Externally, it was only revealed that an Assassin wanted to assassinate him, and his subordinates were killed, and the Assassin was also killed.
"Zhao Kou Xiaoer! He sent men to spy on the king! β
"Uncle Wang has been drunk and pretended to be crazy for so many years to avoid people's eyes and ears, he won't be naΓ―ve to think that after Zhao Kou comes to power, everything will be fine, right?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that very clearly."
Zhao Kou is the son of Emperor Youqing, when Emperor Youqing was there, he was always afraid of the Eighth Prince, Zhao Kou was on the throne, would he treat the Eighth Prince sincerely?
The eighth prince laughed: "Zhao Kou Xiao'er! If there is a father, there must be a son. β
Zhao Zhuo has been in power for so many years, he had no intention of competing with Zhao Zhuo for anything, but Zhao Zhuo was extremely suspicious, not only killed all Ji Chen's subordinates, but also pretended to be crazy and stupid, looking for flowers and asking willows, and handed over the military power in his hands one by one, thinking that this would make Zhao Zhuo feel at ease.
God is pitiful, Zhao Zhuo died of illness, and he thought that he had finally ushered in the dawn.
Unexpectedly-
Since the founding of the Emperor Gaozu in Daqing, it has been 408 years so far, and there have been very few civil strife. But eighteen years ago, Emperor Changyou died, and his eldest son Zhao Jin ascended the throne, but in less than five years, his brother Zhao Zhuo relied on military power and seized the throne and stood on his own.
Thirteen years ago, there was the first civil strife in Daqing.
During the reign of Emperor Zhao Zhuo of Youqing, he was close to the villain Yuan Xianchen, indiscriminately killed countless important ministers who had meritorious service to Daqing, and reused the villain eunuchs around him, and the people in the court were panicked; The soldiers who were supposed to be stationed at the border were recalled to Beijing, so that the border enemies repeatedly attacked, and the people were struggling to make a living.
The eighth prince saw these in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to drink to kill his sorrows.
Now that Zhao Kou is young enough to ascend the throne, he proposed an astonishing move to negotiate peace with the rebel armies everywhere at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.
Although this move violated the legal system of the ancestors, it allowed the eighth prince to see Zhao Kou's eloquence, and he thought that with such a monarch who could stretch and bend, Daqing would be saved.
However, Daqing has long been riddled with holes, looking at the court, except for Prime Minister Wang's henchmen, he can't find any talents, and he can't find a military general who can handle it.
The eighth prince sighed, the sky will die, I celebrate.
He looked at Zhao Yan, and a thought came to his mind.
Ifβ
To save Daqing, Zhao Yanxun's power in Yanlou, coupled with the strength of the Gu family's army, I am afraid that he will have the ability to fight.
Thinking of this, the eighth prince closed his eyes in pain, he really didn't want to see the brother kill each other happen.
"Go back."
Zhao Yan and Huaiyu didn't say anything, got up and walked out.
"Wait."
The eighth prince suddenly stopped the two of them.
The two of them turned back in unison.
The eighth prince said: "Where there is blood, there is contention." In today's eventful times, in a world of great disputes, girl, what to do and what not to do, I think you should be very clear. β
Huaiyu smiled.
followed Zhao Yan out of Mingde Hall.
The eighth prince said so much, and it was really difficult for him.
