Chapter 141: The Princess and the Prince
Zhuge Ke returned to the palace to continue the vigil. After nightfall, Zhuge Lei, who was imprisoned at home, couldn't bear the eagerness to rebel, and summoned his uncle and the old ministry to come to the secret room in the palace to discuss how to mutiny.
"Lord Wang, isn't the former King of Qi in East China the world where soldiers have arrived! The winner is king, who dares to say him! Uncle also advocated mutiny, what future he could have after Zhuge Sheng became the emperor, and his way of life was a problem, and then whispered to everyone: "I will lobby the staff of the leopard battalion, and this matter is on me!" ”
"Then there is Uncle Lao, one is prosperous, one is lost, we have no way to retreat now, if you become a king or lose, if you are willing to win, you will stay, and if you don't want to, it will not be difficult for you to go now." After King Qi finished speaking, he looked around, everyone had no intention of leaving, originally, he didn't dare to call over if he wasn't a henchman, and he would go after calling over, and he would have to hang up before he got out of the gate! A fool will quit at this time, and even if he does, he will have to wait until he is safe.
"The subordinates are all willing to follow His Royal Highness King Qi! Swear to follow! Several generals in the old ministry knelt down together and swore an oath to King Qi.
"I, Zhuge Lei, swear that I will share the blessings with you when there are difficulties from now on! ......" Zhuge Lei stood there and made an oath to the sky.
Everyone didn't leave in the palace at night, the prince and the queen didn't leave, and others didn't dare to go, a little father-in-law went to the prince's ear and muttered, the prince nodded and said, "It's lonely." Then he gave the little princess a look and asked him to go and tell the queen, and the little princess ran to the queen's side and muttered, the queen also nodded, looked at the prince, and the two looked at each other, and knew what to do without words.
Since Emperor Daxing left, everyone has been a little scared recently, and the spirit guard is also trembling, only to see the queen mother stand up and look at Concubine Yi and say: "You are the first concubine of Emperor Daxing, Emperor Daxing is very lonely when he goes alone, you also go to accompany Emperor Daxing, come and take Concubine Yi down!" Concubine Yi was originally kneeling on the ground in fright, and after the queen finished speaking, she wanted to stand up and run, but her legs were the same as not obeying the call, she had no strength at all, she couldn't stand up, and shouted with her hands: "Don't, don't!" "The whole person is stupid, three or four eunuchs are busy dragging her out, after a while, a coffin was carried into the door and stopped next to the Emperor Daxing, the concubines in the house were all frightened and did not dare to come out, just now the people who were still guarding the spirit in front of them, said that it was gone, although Nanyue has the habit of being martyred, but they are all out of rank and low, this time directly a concubine, the concubine's family has been very popular with the Emperor Daxing over the years, and there is still military power in her hands, so the queen dares to ...... To say that the one who is most afraid is Liu Guifei, who is stirring the handkerchief in her hand and secretly glancing at Zhuge Ke with her eyes. Zhuge Ke also pretended to be frightened, this is the most life-saving, now the queen is taking Yi Guifei to open the knife, and the prince is taking the king of Qi to open the knife, isn't this just killing the chicken to show the monkey, who dares to do it......
"Queen Mother, good things should come in pairs, choose a young and beautiful concubine who has nothing to do, go down to accompany your father first, and the mother of the person who is allowed to be martyred this time will have a big reward! Concubine Yi's maiden family rewarded one hundred taels of gold! Zhuge Sheng showed a benevolent and generous appearance, there was something in the house, everyone was finally relieved, there was nothing outside the house for the time being, Zhuge Sheng didn't care who the queen mother would choose, because it didn't matter who it was, who the widow of the adoptive father and emperor raised was not raised, and who was killed was not killed, and in his opinion, Zhuge Lei's maternal uncle's family had no life even if they took a hundred taels of gold!
Zhuge Ke and Liu Guifei were relieved when they heard that they were going to choose from people who had nothing to offer, and it seemed that they would have to live tremblingly on thin ice in the future......
The queen whispered to the little eunuch behind her, and the little eunuch went down, and when the little eunuch came back, she carried a mouthful of the same coffin as Concubine Yi just now and placed it on the other side of Emperor Daxing. Liu Guifei gasped in her heart when she saw it, this queen is really too ruthless, she used to protect them when Emperor Daxing was there, and the queen didn't dare to kill two women of Emperor Daxing in one day, and now they are all starting to kill without fear.
On the morning of the second day, King Qi also got the news in the palace, King Qi knew that after he took out his fist and hammered all the things in the study, his hands were hammered with blood, and he sat on the ground and cried after the hammer, and the mother persuaded herself to forbear, in the end, Zhuge Sheng's mother and son deceived people too much! Uncle also got the news that Zhuge Sheng had rewarded him with one hundred taels of gold to his house, and everyone had to come out to thank him, and his uncle came to find King Qi, and he was going to start an incident tonight.
"Uncle, how is the contact with the Leopard Battalion staff?" King Qi asked the princess to bandage the wound on his hand, and turned his face to look at his uncle talking.
"He also agreed, everyone was unbearable by Zhuge Sheng's mother and son's ruthlessness, and he agreed to start an incident with us." Uncle just came to Zhuge Lei with good news, and he was so angry that he couldn't stand Zhuge Sheng's bullying.
"Not tonight, it's too hasty, you guys come to the palace tonight to discuss the specific plan." After King Qi finished venting, he was calculating how to implement the plan in his heart.
"Yes, I'll go find those people." Uncle was about to leave.
"Uncle!" King Qi suddenly shouted: "Zhuge Sheng must have enough people in his hands, there are not many of us, we have to be surprised, and besides, he will first take me under the knife, and then take the mother concubine under the knife, this is to force me to rebel, he must be prepared in advance, be careful in everything, and pay more attention." ”
"Uncle saved!" After speaking, the uncle turned around and left, not wanting King Qi to see his fragile side, and the current situation made him very helpless, there was no way out for him or not, if he didn't do it, he would wait for death, but maybe God could still give him a glimmer of life.
Zhuge Sheng has already gotten the news, and ordered the guard battalion and the Donggong guard to be deployed by himself, and he also roughly grasps the list of people in the forbidden army, not to mention the one in the tiger camp, the one in the leopard camp is his own internal response, but he didn't want to kill before he ascended the throne, so he first asked Neiying to participate, and when the time comes, he has a hundred ways to deal with him.
In fact, this was originally a bureau, Zhuge Sheng persecuted Zhuge Lei, and then the jurisdiction over him was very loose, Zhuge Lei knew that it must not be so simple, and he thought about it for a long time in the study.
"Momo, you take the prince to escape from the secret room tunnel and go to East China, there is still a way to live." Zhuge Lei whispered in the princess's ear. The princess's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this.
"There is no way out, this incident should not be successful at all, but I can't escape, I have nowhere to escape, the mother has already gone first, Zhuge Sheng will not let our family go." You and the prince don't have anyone with you, I will send someone to take you out of the city and then send you to East China, bring enough gold and silver to use on the road, run away." Zhuge Lei whispered, and after speaking, he couldn't bear to cry and couldn't cry.
"Lord ......" The princess also endured crying quietly, in fact, she also knew very well how many eyeliners there were in the palace, and after marrying Queen Qi for many years, she had not had a son, and now the prince of Qi was not yet a year old, and it was not easy to make King Qi and the princess very doting and cherishing this child, there were many heirs of the Emperor Daxing, but the people of their generation had no son-in-law for a long time, he was not bad, he finally had a son-in-law before he stood thirty, and he was also favored by heaven, King Qi kowtowed to the world outside, and his forehead was bleeding "God, father, mother, You all bless and bless my son, he is still too young, let him and Momo go to East China safely to live an ordinary life......"
The princess also knelt beside him and wiped her tears, and after King Qi finished speaking, she got up and went to the secret room inside, holding the personal guards who had been arranged here a long time ago, and escorted the princess and the prince to East China.
"Lord Wang, do we have to leave now?" The princess took the sleeping prince from the guards.
"You have to go now, if you don't go, you really can't leave." King Qi looked at his sleeping son, and couldn't help but step forward and hug him, kissing and kissing, people said that the king hugged his grandson and did not hold his son, but he, the prince, could not see his grandson, and only hoped that the princess and the child would be a pair of ordinary people who were safe and disease-free.
King Qi returned the child to the princess and arched his fist at the guards: "Please!" ”
"Where does the prince speak, even if the whole world betrays the prince, he will not! The minister sent the prince and the princess safely to the place and came back! The guard carried the luggage, and the princess was about to leave with her son in her arms, and the princess walked one step and three times, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Don't come back when you are safe, protect the princess and the prince!" The prince entrusted, a person's softness is always the person he loves the most, the mother is gone, now there is only the princess and the prince, after sending them away, Zhuge Lei's heart is too comfortable, he has been dragging the time to do things is to create some time for the princess and the prince, at least he still has some people and money in his hands now, as long as he leaves Panyu safely. After sending off the princess and the prince, King Qi had nothing to do, and filled in the tunnel entrance with the soil prepared in advance, and blocked the door of the secret room when he got out of the secret room. When I got to the study, I went to the door and said to my father-in-law, "Go and invite my uncle." ”
After a while, my uncle really came, and when we met, he said, "Lord, it's broad daylight now, and it's not easy for the ministers to come here." ”
"I know that it's not easy for my uncle to come here, so I have something to arrange for my uncle." King Qi whispered into his uncle's ear. His uncle was horrified.
"Lord Wang, this... This... This... Got to this point? "Uncle's hands are shaking, and his legs are shaking, a leader who has been in the army for many years.
"Yes. Uncle, this is the only chance to win, it's all up to you, now hurry home and make arrangements, while Zhuge Sheng gives us time, we must give him some surprises! Zhuge Lei sent away his wife and children and began his revenge.
After this uncle arrived home, he organized a lot of people who were about the same age as the princess and the prince to flee together, and each city gate was in all directions, deliberately attracting attention, at this time the princess and the prince should have already gone out of the city, staying in the Zhuangzi outside the city for half a year, no matter what happened in the city, and then taking the prince to East China for refuge in half a year. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the uncle also arranged for his eldest son to run away with his eldest grandson, and if he wins, he will come back, and if he loses, he will wander the world.
Zhuge Sheng still got the news, he began to think that Zhuge Lei was sure that he would win, so he pretended not to know anything and asked him to make it hard, but now it seems that the opponent still has a hand.
"Have you caught the princess and the prince?" Zhuge Sheng hurriedly asked.
"Not for the time being, there are too many fakes!" The people at the bottom are a little false.
"Still standing here, go and keep catching!" Zhuge Sheng gave him a kick!
King Qi was arranging the work before he ascended the throne three days later, and at the same time arranged for his uncle to carry out secret activities, and now only his uncle can be trusted.
Zhuge Ke also returned home three days later, and tomorrow the crown prince ascended the throne, and they had to go home to prepare.
"Mengmeng, Panyu may be restless tonight, you better go to the secret room to rest." Zhuge Ke and Mengmeng attach great importance to the child in their womb, and their first child is not easy to come by.
"I'll ascend the throne tomorrow, how can I not be alive?" Mengmeng has been on bed rest all the time, and only sat up when she saw Zhuge Ke.
"It's all firelight outside, it has nothing to do with us tonight, close the gate of the palace and let's go to the secret room to rest together!" Zhuge Ke knew that Zhuge Lei should make a move tonight, and if he didn't make a move, it would be too late.
It was night, there were fires in many places in Panyu City, first the minister's house, then the prince's house, and finally even many palaces in the palace were also on fire, everyone was busy fighting the fire in the middle of the night, and Panyu City was not lively.
Zhuge Sheng sat in the study of the East Palace: "He finally made some moves, I thought he would give up like this!" As he spoke, he sneered at the corners of his mouth.
"Sheng'er, is it up to him to make trouble? Don't kill it! His mother is dead! The queen felt that Zhuge Sheng always did something extraordinary.
"Queen Mother, tomorrow you will be the queen mother, I don't know how to follow you until now, don't think about things too simply, his old department is willing to sincerely follow him or there are still a lot of people, Lone wants him to show all the cards, he can give Lone a reason to destroy him, otherwise the world will not be convinced, will say that Lone has not yet ascended the throne and began to kill his siblings!" Zhuge Sheng has been the prince for many years, and he has become a person who is more calm than the queen, Yi Guifei, he only gave the queen a look, and the little father-in-law also passed the word to give some reasonable reasons to kill again, but the queen has been unable to bear the posture of a victor since the death of Emperor Daxing, and she does everything regardless of the consequences and image, and the high-ranking concubines who have come out have been martyred like this, and the queen is really too delicate! In the end, he stepped forward to let everyone be relieved of everyone's worries except for a low position who had not given birth.
"You child, the mourning family is tired, go back to rest, it's all handed over to you, and tomorrow the mourning family will wait to be the queen mother." The queen doesn't care if she is said like this, let you toss it, rest early when you are older, tomorrow is still a big day, her son is the emperor, and she is the queen mother herself!
The little eunuch whispered to him after the Queen Mother left, and Zhuge Sheng turned his face excitedly and asked him, "Where is it?" Take it to the lonely dormitory! With that, he turned and went to the dormitory.
After a while, the little eunuch took a young woman and a man into the prince's bedroom in the East Palace.
