Slaughterhouse!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, that Tang Lotian slaughtered all 5,000 border guards in Yecheng on the border. ”

The black-clothed guard trembled and announced.

Prince Rujin's eyes were straight, and he pulled up the collar of the black-clothed guard and asked, "What did you say?"

"Prince, that Tang Letian, somehow became extremely powerful, the city was full of defenders, and 5,000 soldiers were slaughtered overnight, Nasi still left words, he said...... He said......"

Now the prince slapped the black-clothed guard on the cheek, and shouted angrily: "What did he say?"

He said, I want you to eat and drink well, take care of the three women every day, if they have the slightest injury on their bodies, he will slaughter them all, slaughter the royal family of Zhao State, and leave no chickens and dogs. ”

Prince Rujin snorted, "I'm going to see my father!"

After speaking, Prince Rujin walked quickly.

After passing through three checkpoints, I came to the deepest part of the Zhao Imperial Palace, the bedroom of the current Zhao Emperor.

The old emperor of Zhao suddenly suffered a stroke a few years ago and couldn't afford to get sick, and the entire Zhao State was actually Prince Rujin in charge.

When the guards saw Prince Rujin coming, they saluted one after another, and no one dared to stop him.

Prince Rujin strode into the palace, and several maids who were waiting for the emperor hurriedly retreated, and two little yellow doors ran over and crouched at the feet of Prince Rujin like dogs.

"Prince, you're here. I'm just going to say hello to you!"

Prince Rujin snorted coldly, and walked to the study in the palace, at this time the old emperor was lying on the hospital bed, letting out a burst of moans, his eyes squinted at Prince Rujin, saliva flowed down the side of his mouth and wet the pillow towel.

Prince Rujin didn't pay attention to the old emperor at all, and went straight to the desk to open the box on the desk and took out the jade seal

Less ugly.

This jade seal, like Prince Jin, has been longing for a long time, and every time he holds it in his hand, it has a heavy weight that controls the whole world.

Now the prince took a blank decree and stamped it with a large red seal.

Then he took up the decree and left.

"I ...... "......The old emperor's mouth suddenly made such a sound.

Prince Rujin stopped and turned his head to look at the old emperor on the bed.

Then he walked to the bed and frowned at this once majestic emperor who was now old and thin.

Prince Rujin tilted his head, then leaned down, pinched the pillow towel, and gently wiped the old emperor's saliva.

"Don't hold on, it's just a breath, why bother, why do you have to force me to do it?"

The old emperor's chest rose and fell violently a few times, and he said with difficulty: "I can't swallow...... I can't swallow this, you...... Ahem...... I don't blame you for doing it to me...... But...... But your heart is not enough...... You...... Do you know what you're not up to?"

Prince Rujin's eyes became cold, staring at the old emperor's thin face fixedly, and then his tone became gentle: "You have liked to preach since you were a child, and now you still have one breath left, but there are so many words!"

The old emperor smiled, coughed a few times with difficulty, swallowed hard, and frothed, Prince Rujin took a bowl of water and fed the old emperor spoonful by spoon.

"Ah...... Comfortable...... After I died, those little rabbit cubs who couldn't serve people cooked them for me to bury. ”

Prince Rujin nodded lightly.

"You think I'm nagging, ahem...... Why am I nagging? Do you know why I can't breathe?"

The old emperor also seemed to know that the crown prince would not answer his question, so he continued to himself: "Because you are not calm enough, what can you do if you sit on this throne for ten or eight years earlier? Among all the princes, I am most optimistic about you, this position will be yours sooner or later, and there will be no changes." Wait for 10 more years and 8 years, between you and me, father and son are filial, Zhao Guojun and ministers are harmonious, and how good it should be for the country to continue. ”

Prince Rujin replied easily, "Yes, the child has been taught." ”

The old emperor's face suddenly flushed, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more energetic, and his face also had the once majestic bearing, and continued: "The second and most important one, you are not ruthless enough, you are not ruthless enough, how can I hand over the Zhao State to you? ”

Prince Rujin's eyes trembled slightly, he didn't know these secrets at all, he only knew that a heavenly fire burned the emperor's grandfather to death in the dormitory with 30 small yellow gates, 28 guards, and 43 slaves and maids. But I didn't expect that there would be such an open and secret struggle for power behind the scenes. Especially didn't expect his father to be so ruthless.

"And your uncle, ahem...... Your uncle has been with me since I was a child. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of longing flashed in the old emperor's eyes, as if he recalled the happy times of the past, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"At the beginning, your imperial grandfather had 38 sons, I was the eldest son, your uncle was the second son, we were born to a mother, he was smarter than me since he was a child, and he studied harder than me, he always liked to eat apples, there was a hundred-year-old tree behind the palace, and it was full of fruit every autumn, and every time it came, he pestered me and asked me to pick fruit for him. ”

"I'm tall and strong, and my brain is not as good as it, but I love this brother very much, and at that time I carried him, and he stepped on my shoulders to pick apples, and in those years, I felt that this brother wanted anything, I would give him, as long as he stepped on what I could get, I could help her get it......"

Speaking of this, the old emperor's eyes moistened, "Until we grew up, and suddenly one day I found out that he was going to take my most precious thing......"

"Uncle rebelled, the family was killed, you gave a poisonous apple to the uncle, the uncle didn't eat it, lit a fire, and burned himself alive. Prince Rujin put down the spoon in his hand and recalled with a frown.

"That stubborn child always doesn't grow up. The old emperor sighed, and then looked at Prince Rujin.

"He can't grow up anymore, but I want you to grow up, why do I hold on to my breath and don't die? I'm waiting for you, I want to see you grow up with my own eyes......"

Saying that, the old emperor suddenly stretched out his thin hand and grabbed it on Prince Rujin's wrist.

"Come, with my flesh and blood, with my life, with my spirit, with my imperial breath as the cornerstone of your growth, only in this way can I put Zhao Guo in your hands with peace of mind. ”

Prince Rujin looked at the old emperor fixedly, and the old emperor held his head high, staring at Prince Rujin with a pair of eyes.

Father and son looked at each other.

Now that the prince had walked out of the palace, flames were slowly steaming behind him.

It's like history repeating itself, today in this dormitory, there are also 30 small yellow gates, 28 guards, and 43 slaves and maids, none of these people can get out, and they all have to be buried here for the old emperor.

Blood spilled down the gap in the threshold, and Prince Rujin, who stepped on the blood, held the holy decree in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and did not look back after all, pinching the blank holy decree and leaving proudly, he should indeed grow up, only by mastering the entire Zhao country and being able to mobilize the army of the Zhao country, can he clean up Tang Lotian well.

The country of Zhao is not too big, and among the jurisdictions, there are actually only two that can really be called cities, and the rest are small towns like Yecheng.

It's also called a city, but it's just a piece of gold on your face.

As Prince Jin issued a holy decree, soon all the small cities sent troops, adding up to 30,000 people, and these troops were hoarded outside the imperial city of Zhao, waiting for Tang Letian's arrival.

For Prince Rujin, there is nothing more important in this world than revenge.

Tang Letian's humiliation of him, he remembers.
