Chapter 181: Divine Decree
The emperor pondered for a long time and called the little eunuch next to him.
"Little Dezi, come here."
The eunuch who was called Xiao Dezi walked over in fear.
"What's the matter with the emperor?"
"You say... Who do you think is the most suitable person for the position of prince? Don't say who bribed you, just just based on the truest thoughts in your own heart, and don't look at my face, just say the truest thoughts in your heart. ”
Xiao Dezi knew that he was by the emperor's side, and after a long time, the emperor also knew that he was not a so-called princeling at all, nor was he instigated, the so-called stability, Wang Dao was just an outsider who watched coldly, but sometimes things were just confused by the authorities, and bystanders were clear.
He didn't dare to deceive the emperor, because he knew that when the emperor asked him these words, the emperor also had his own ideas, he knelt down, his head was lying on the ground, and he didn't look up at the emperor, he could only see the emperor's toes.
"Back to the emperor, the slave thinks, the slave thinks that if it is according to talent and martial arts, this prince's position... It should be... It should be made of... From that to the most unfavored prince. ”
The emperor knows that Xiao Dezi is called Xiao Dezi, but he is not young, and he has been following the emperor to assist, and the two princes, who have been the most unfavored since childhood, know that they are talking about His Royal Highness the King of Anding.
Because of the mother of His Royal Highness King Andy, this child has not been entertained since he was a child, seeing that he looks very much like his mother, and his mother has done something like that, awakening the bone art in the palace, the emperor feels disgusted every time he sees that face, and he feels disgusted when he sees that face, so His Royal Highness King Anding is the most unfavored child in this palace from childhood to adulthood.
"I see." Of course, the emperor knew that the confidants next to him would never lie to him, and he had already had his own ideas and plans when he asked.
"What does the emperor think?" Xiao Dezi dared to ask, in fact, he knew that the emperor, the reason why he was entangled was because he now had his own ideas in his heart, and as a person who had been by the emperor's side for so long, he must also know the emperor very well, and what he felt and what he felt should be the same as what the emperor felt, although this is a prince who has been very unfavored since he was a child, but.
But this house is indeed outstanding, it is indeed outstanding, even if they want to ignore it, there is no way, even if the emperor does not take more care of him, he can also stand out in a house, such a person is originally a natural dragon.
In terms of the position of prince, there should be no one more suitable than him.
"I'm also... It seems that there are some doubts about the prince's ability. ”
The emperor didn't say anything more when he said this, because he seemed to hear the noise outside, heard the movement outside, and he always had an intuition that things were not so easy and simple.
"Why is it so noisy and messy outside?"
The emperor's brows furrowed a little, you must know that this can be regarded as in his study, in such a place he usually asks for the extreme, and he never allows people in this vicinity to make noise, why is there such a big movement now, and it still sounds noisy?
Xiao Dezi also heard the movement outside, frowned and quietly opened the door a crack, but he didn't expect that just by looking out, his eyes widened and rounded.
"Your Majesty... Emperor... Outside... Outside..."
"What the hell is going on out there? Can you be so surprised? ”
The emperor stepped forward and came to Xiao Dezi's side, but when he went out, he saw his expression, which was exactly the same as Xiao Dezi.
"How... How so? ”
The noise outside was none other than a large number of guards with swords and swords.
But at this time, those guards are not the guards inside their Forbidden City, but the guards guarding outside Kyoto, and even some of them are masked people in black clothes, who look like killers, but such a large-scale here shows that someone definitely put them in, and they are relatively noble people.
Being able to attack the vicinity of his study and attack them in such a quiet situation is not a simple person.
I don't know why the emperor actually thought of the prince, he actually felt that this was something his eldest son did, in order to force the palace.
As if to confirm his thoughts, the emperor looked out two more times, and saw the little eunuchs and palace maids who were killed, the Praetorian Guards who were fighting with the foreign guards, and the overwhelmed people who were fleeing in all directions, and everywhere there was the sound of things breaking apart, and everywhere there was the sound of people screaming.
Just now, it was just a footstep, but now it has completely become a paradise of killing.
"Little Dezi..."
The emperor didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Dezi back to the study.
Fortunately, these Praetorian Guards are still the protectors, although the number of people outside is a little smaller than those people, but they are still resisting dutifully, but looking at their appearance, they should not be able to resist for long.
"You... Do you know who the mastermind is? ”
The emperor is a little trembling when he speaks now, not because he is afraid of those people outside, he can't live for a few days, and he doesn't have much concept of dying early and dying later, but he just pities the palace people who have been serving him outside.
The reason why he spoke tremblingly was because he seemed to have seen a bright yellow figure in those thieves just now.
It seemed to be his eldest son.
Xiao Dezi also has some disbelief.
"Back... Back to the emperor, the servants seem to have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"So now he is breaking into the palace with so many people, just to take my position and rob me of my power?"
In fact, the emperor didn't say these words, he also knew in his heart, since he could do things that killed his brother, then he should be able to disrespect his father, the crown prince is able to do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing.
But this is what he has loved since he was a child, remember to share with him what kind of good things there are, tell him what kind of good things there are as soon as possible, and give him what kind of friendly treatment he has for the first time.
But now that it has come to such a juncture, this son actually wants to kill himself, kill himself, take his position, and take away his full strength.
I owe all my sons, and I have never owed this eldest son, and I have always been strict with him since he was a child.
This is the most chilling place for me, the son who didn't have any hope for himself was willing to go out to fight for himself, and he was willing to make great achievements for himself, and his son, who had always had high hopes since he was a child, wanted to kill himself with his own soldiers when everyone else was gone.
"Hahaha...... Hahaha ”
The emperor suddenly laughed for no reason, and Xiao Dezi next to him thought that the emperor was suddenly stimulated so much, and he was crazy, so he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
However, the emperor completely ignored Xiao Dezi, walked two steps to the desk, found a piece of brocade, and wrote something on it.
In the end, it means that the position of the future prince is to stabilize the king, and the crown prince intends to rebel and is an absolute sinner.
The little dezi next to him didn't know what the emperor was doing there, but his eyes widened and he stared at what the emperor was doing there.
By the time the emperor had just written the decree and the ink on it had not dried, it had already rolled up into a ball, and then beckoned Xiao Dezi to come over.
"Take this decree well, keep it well. Help me go out and hand him over to General Qu, be sure to deliver it, and personally deliver it to General Qu. ”
Xiao Dezi didn't know why the things explained by the emperor were so careful, they were so meticulous, as if he was explaining the aftermath, he didn't come and gave birth to a sadness, although I don't know what the emperor wrote, but it should be a very important thing, otherwise he wouldn't have been so careful and careful.
"The slave only knows, but outside..."Xiao Dezi held the holy decree in his arms, a little trembling, the voices of the people outside were getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, it was estimated that it would not be long before the prince was able to bring people to attack them.
Can he really take this thing out of the Forbidden City safe and sound, out of the layers of protection of the crown prince?
He has more than enough heart, but not enough strength.
However, the emperor knew what he was thinking, walked to the chair in the study, and did not know what kind of switch he had fumbled for, and a big hole came out of thin air on the ground, and Xiao Dezi, who had been here for a long time, had never seen this big hole, so a cellar suddenly appeared, which made him feel very surprised.
This cellar has one staircase after another, layer after layer, and it seems that it is very simple and heavy, and it should not have been built in a day or two.
"Walk from here, this is safe, from here keep groping forward, I will give you a topographic map later, you can walk according to the topographic map below, when you go out to see the light, you can go outside the city, then I can not be trapped by them, at that time you can go to General Qu's mansion, and send things to you."
The emperor urged Xiao Dezi to move a step into the cellar, and at the same time handed him a drawing, which was a topographical map of the cellar, but Xiao Dezi stood in the cellar with half of his body and raised his head, but he was a little puzzled.
"Why can't the emperor go along? If the emperor leaves from here, wouldn't he have met the prince, wouldn't he have been..."
Xiao Dezi didn't say what he said later, although there were some things they all knew, the prince wanted to get that position, and today he put such a big policy, it is estimated that it is to take the emperor's life.
Since there is such a cellar where you can escape, why doesn't the emperor have to give him a small minion instead of himself? He didn't understand.
The emperor saw through Xiao Dezi's guesses at a glance.
"There are many eunuchs and palace maids in this palace, presumably they won't care, the departure of a little virtuous son, if even I leave from here with you, maybe they will grope their way to the cellar, grope to this place and then pursue it, then it will be unfavorable for you and me, it is very likely that this holy decree has not fallen into the hands of General Qu, and the two of us have already returned to the west."
"Or..."The emperor said this, sighed, "I know my own state is the clearest, now I am a real person who has half of my body into the loess, even if I escape from here with you today, there will be no more days to live, it is better to end here as soon as possible, as soon as possible, to see everything clearly when I die, this is also my pathetic, I no longer expect me to live a few more days, now that it is a foregone conclusion, so be it." ”
"How can the emperor have a reason to escape, even if he is dying, even if the enemy's sword is against his head, then there is no reason to retreat if he wants to escape."
Listening to the emperor's words, Xiao Dezi is still young, and he doesn't have the emperor's temperament, so he can't understand it, but he only feels that when the emperor says these words, there is some pathos and feelings in it, but now he can't understand it.
Seeing that he was still hesitating there, the emperor directly pushed him inside.
"You go quickly, the task assigned to you must be completed for me, otherwise, the last wish of my life will not be completed, what a pity."
The emperor half-joked, as if the person who was about to have an accident was not him.
Xiao Dezi didn't know why the emperor of the Qiao family looked like this, and some of them wanted to cry, he wiped his hot eyes, and then walked into the cellar without looking back.
Walking with him was the topographical map of the cellar he was clinging to, and the emperor's own handwritten decree, which he never knew what was written.
Of course, in addition to these, he also walked in with the hope of the emperor and the hope of the Great Cloud Country.
The emperor watched Xiao Dezi slowly disappear, so he restarted the mechanism again, closed the cellar, and then smashed the chair that could open the mechanism, so that no one could enter.
