Chapter 40 It is born from the same root
Before Shangguan Hong's army entered the city, the imperial guards guarding the city gate had already rushed to the palace to spread the word.
When Yu Tianzheng was escorted to the main hall, he saw a group of guards guarding the palace outside the hall, and walked into the main hall, and there were many lamps in the hall to illuminate the surroundings as bright as day. In this piece of light, Yu Tianjun sat on the dragon chair surrounded by several palace people.
Yu Tianjun watched from above, and Yu Tianzheng was escorted in by Shangguan Hong and a few ironclad soldiers.
Yu Tianzheng was chained by a body of iron chains, and dragged two iron balls, he couldn't go fast, so he could only move in step by step. Despite this, he couldn't see the embarrassment of the prisoner under the stairs from his body, he was still so calm and calm.
Seeing the scene he wanted to see, Yu Tianjun couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, Yu Tianzheng had become a defeated man and was locked in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel complacent.
Yu Tianzheng looked at Yu Tianjun on the dragon throne and slowly walked under the dragon chair. Shangguan Hong pressed Yu Tianzheng's shoulder and wanted him to kneel down to his master, but even the strength to feed still couldn't move Yu Tianzheng at all. Shangguan Hong also wanted to let a few ironclad soldiers who came in with him rush up and force Yu Tianzheng to kneel down, Yu Tianzheng swept his eyes sideways, and his sharp eyes made him shudder involuntarily, and his hands were frozen there and couldn't move.
Yu Tianzheng moved his shoulders and shook off Shangguan Hong's hand, raised his eyes to look at Yu Tianjun, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Sanwang, why are you doing this?" ”
"Qingjun's side." Yu Tianjun didn't look at Yu Tianzheng for a moment, and played with the jade ring on his thumb and said slowly: "My father is old, his brain is not so sober, and there are lowly people with sinister intentions around him who are flattering the monarch and confusing the lord, and my father will inevitably make wrong decisions." As a son, it is the responsibility of the king to prevent his father from making mistakes again and again. ”
Yu Tianzheng calmly looked at Yu Tianjun and asked: "What is wrong with my father, asking the third prince brother to work so hard to stop it?" ”
"Humph!" The corners of Yu Tianjun's mouth twitched, and he raised his eyelids and glanced at Yu Tianzheng, "It is a mistake to include the lowly palace maid into the harem, and it is a mistake again and again to change the son of the noble king with pure bloodline to the crown prince." ”
Yu Tianzheng smiled lightly and said, "It turns out that Brother Sanwang is coming at me. In order to deal with me alone, and borrowing the power of the enemy country to stir up waves in his own country, what the three royal brothers did was not necessarily right. ”
Perhaps he didn't expect Yu Tianzheng to be able to say such things to himself with a smile when he was in a disadvantaged situation, which made Yu Tianjun feel very unhappy. He stopped playing with the jade ring, stood up, pointed at Yu Tianzheng and said loudly: "How can this king allow you, the son of a cheap maid, to talk at will?!" Everything this king does is for the sake of the country and the society, and it is to frame the orthodoxy of the royal family. Allowing a lowly person to inherit the throne not only violates the family law of the ancestors, but also undermines the supremacy of the royal family. Since the rise of this king, a number of ministers and vassal kings have responded to obedience, which proves that only a prince with pure blood ascends to the position of the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, which is the destiny of heaven and the desire of the people! ”
These righteous and awe-inspiring words were exchanged for a smile from Yu Tianzheng. He ignored Yu Tianjun's righteous face, and said calmly: "I keep saying that I am thinking about the royal family, but in the final analysis, it is just for my own selfish desires. Yu Tianzheng shook his head with a look of regret, "Brother Sanwang, you let the Northern Barbarians participate in the internal affairs of our country, use their strength to fight for power, and use all kinds of threats to coerce the ministers and vassal kings into submission to you. Such actions are not the destiny of heaven and the desire of the people, but lead wolves into the house, bring unnecessary disputes and troubles to the country, and may even make the good country fall into the hands of outsiders. ”
Yu Tianjun lowered his eyes and looked at the jade ring on his thumb, and said in an unquestionable tone: "As long as it can achieve the orthodox purpose of framing the royal family, this king will do whatever it takes; Besides, this king has the ability to let the Northern Barbarians help, and naturally has a way to control the overall situation! ”
"Brother Sanwang, the ambition of the wolf son of the Northern Barbarians has always coveted my territory in Qiyang. Now that you are cooperating with the Northern Barbarians, you are undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, and after the matter is completed, I am afraid that the overall situation will not be under your control. Yu Tianzheng sighed lightly, "You and I are both bloody of the Yu royal family, and we are brothers with the same father, why do you want to use the power of the enemy to kill each other?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Tianjun raised his head and laughed wildly as if he had heard a big joke, and after a long while, he stopped laughing and sat back on the dragon chair, looked at Yu Tianzheng with disdain, and said: "This king's own brother is only the eldest son of the king, who is also born by the queen, and the son of a cheap maid like you is not even an inferior minister in the eyes of this king!" Having a lowly person like you in the royal family is really a shame for my Yu royal family! ”
Seeing that his master was getting more and more excited, and there were signs of deviating from the topic, Shangguan Hong, who had been listening to the conversation between the Yu family brothers, hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to remind Yu Tianjun in his ear: "Third Prince, King Rui has always been scheming, and he has repeatedly argued with you here, and it is very likely that he will deliberately delay it because of other plans." In order to avoid complications, you better dispose of him quickly! ”
After Shangguan Hong's reminder, Yu Tianjun's anger calmed down a little. He withdrew his gaze from Yu Tianzheng's body in disgust and said, "Today, this king is going to correct the mistakes made by his father over the years, wash away the shame, and maintain the dignity of the Yu royal family. ”
After that, Yu Tianjun shouted loudly: "Someone! Bring her to the temple! ”
One of the royal guards under the seat answered and walked out of the main hall, and after a while, a middle-aged woman who was tied up by a large number of flowers returned.
The woman was dressed in plain white prison clothes, and her black hair was scattered and most of her face was obscured.
Seeing the woman being escorted in, Yu Tianzheng couldn't help but shout: "Mother! ”
This middle-aged woman is Yu Tianzheng's biological mother, Hui Concubine. Hearing Yu Tianzheng's shout, she raised her head and showed her face. The eyes that were the same as Yu Tianzheng's flashed a strange light when she saw her son who was chained under the dragon chair, but she didn't make a drastic move, and the imperial guards who escorted her pushed her to the opposite side of Yu Tianzheng, and then looked at Yu Tianzheng and said softly: "Zheng'er, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble." ”
When she spoke, there was no panicked look on Concubine Hui's face, only guilt. She was so calm, even if she was tied up like a prisoner, even if her face was haggard, her eyes were still as bright as the stars in the night sky.
Yu Tianzheng looked at his mother's haggard face and asked, "Mother, are you okay?" Did they do anything to you? ”
Concubine Hui smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine that I can still see Zheng'er." ”
Yu Tianzheng wanted to say something, but Yu Tianjun on the dragon chair interrupted the communication between the two by stroking his palms and laughing, saying, "It's really a deep love between mother and son!" ”
Yu Tianjun paused, looked at Yu Tianzheng with a sinister smile on his face, and said, "This king and you have also lived together in the palace for many years, and this king can't bear to see you walking on Huangquan Road alone. That's good, this king will let the person you like wait for you on the Huangquan Road first, so that you can have a companion on the road! He glanced at Concubine Hui, "In addition to her, this king will also send that cheap maid surnamed Du to you." This king has treated you so leniently, and he has done his duty. ”
Yu Tianzheng's face sank, turned his head to look at Yu Tianjun and said, "You are going to deal with me, not them!" This matter has nothing to do with them, Brother Sanwang, why should you implicate the innocent? ”
Yu Tianjun sneered and said, "How can it have nothing to do with them? They have a close relationship with you, and they are as lowly as you, since you are about to go to Huangquan, how can they survive in the world? ”
Yu Tianzheng said word by word: "Miss Du and I are just general friends. ”
"No matter what that has to do with you, she's going to die." Yu Tianjun raised his chin, his face smug on his face, "She has already taken the poison, even if this king doesn't kill her, she will die of poison in a few hours." Don't worry, this king has always been kind-hearted, and this king will let you see her again before that dies of poison. ”
After that, Yu Tianjun no longer paid attention to Yu Tianzheng, and made a gesture with a dark face and said, "Send the people of Huigong on the road!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a eunuch who was waiting under the seat immediately took out the white silk prepared in advance, glanced at the other palace people, and walked over to Concubine Hui together.
Seeing that several palace people were about to walk in front of Hui Concubine, one of the palace maids stretched out her hand was even about to touch Hui Concubine, suddenly, several palace people only felt a flower in front of them, and before they could see what was in front of them, they were hit by something, and they bounced a few steps away and fell to the ground.
When everyone came back to their senses, they found that Yu Tianzheng, who was dragging an iron chain, had actually stood in front of Hui Concubine and protected her behind him. With obvious murderous intent in his eyes, Yu Tianzheng glanced at the people in front of him, lowered his face and said sharply: "Concubine Hui is the concubine of her father, and no one can touch her without her father's will!" ”
