Chapter 769: Northern Kingdom Elegy (13)
"Come on, come on, take down this rebel for me!"
Seeing that Prince Bao was indifferent, Emperor Hongwei raised his voice and shouted loudly.
However, a strange scene appeared, the south study was obviously full of people, but no one responded to the emperor's order.
Whether it was Prince Bao, Wang Shun, or the forbidden troops around him, it seemed that he didn't hear the voice at all.
Emperor Hongwei's gaze swept over Gonggong Cao and Zhengyu, Gonggong Cao hurriedly lowered his head, but Zhengyu didn't raise his head at all, and had no intention of listening to the holy will at all.
Obviously, everyone in this south study, including Gonggong Cao and Zhengyu, has already had a tacit understanding, but Emperor Hongwei has become a real loner.
"Take it, take it, what else are you going to do besides pointing fingers from above?"
King Yu had a dark face, and walked towards Emperor Hongwei on the bed step by step, his face was strange and hideous, very different from the gentle and elegant him before.
After all, Emperor Hongwei is used to seeing wind and waves, how can he not think that the people around him have been bought by King Yu at this time?
It's just that he can't figure it out, Wang Shun and Prince Bao, one is the head of the inner court loyal to the emperors of the three dynasties of the Great Wei, and the other is to personally put him on the throne, and now he has become the closest brother of the minister of Tuogu.
They are all already extremely human ministers, and there is no possibility of progress at all, even if they betray themselves, it will not be any good, why did even these two people fall to King Yu?
"Why, I treat you well, why do you betray me?"
Emperor Hongwei looked at Wang Shun and then at Prince Bao, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, and his tone was very calm.
The same three words, but this time the person who asked the question changed from King Yu to Emperor Hongwei himself.
In the end, it is the master who has served for twenty years, Wang Shun heard the words of Emperor Hongwei, and knew that he was extremely sad and indignant in his heart, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word.
Emperor Hongwei saw his appearance in his eyes, so he wanted to ask a few words while the iron was hot.
"The saint doesn't need to force Father-in-law Wang, let's talk about this king."
Without waiting for Emperor Hongwei to speak, Prince Bao, who had been a clay man for a long time, suddenly sighed and spoke.
When Emperor Hongwei heard this, he stared at Prince Bao with scarlet eyes, and his eyes were full of chills that penetrated the bone marrow.
"Tell me, tell me, tell me all your dirty calculations!"
Emperor Hongwei gritted his teeth and roared.
Prince Bao sighed again and said, "It's not that the subordinates intend to betray the Holy Lord, it's really a last resort." ”
"As a last resort?"
Emperor Hongwei sneered: "One of you is the head of the nobles, one is above ten thousand people, and the other is the ancestor of the inner court, known as the inner minister, who else in this world can force you?" You don't want to say that I forced you to rebel, do you? ”
Listening to Emperor Hongwei's ridicule, Prince Bao was not angry at all, and said helplessly: "Whether the saint believes it or not, until now, the ministers have nothing to hide, and the ministers and Wang Gonggong are indeed forced to do this." ”
"It's a last resort, so who is forcing you, what is forcing you, you should tell me to understand!"
Emperor Hongwei was furious in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked coldly.
"Because of the secret of the old mansion in Nanhua Lane, the people in the dark chess used the secret of the small old mansion in Nanhua to persecute Prince Bao and Wang Shun!"
Xu Rui in Liu's mansion said to Li Kuang: "The secret of the old mansion in Nanhua Lane involves a big secret more than 20 years ago, and once the East Window incident happens, even Prince Bao and Wang Shun can't afford it. ”
"What is the secret so tricky?"
Li Kuang asked.
Xu Rui said: "The current old house in Nanhua Lane is newly built, and a family who lived in it before, they have always been low-key, you must not think of whose descendants they are!" ”
Li Kuang frowned: "If they hide secrets, it is said that they should be moved far away, and there are only two possibilities for hiding in the capital, either there are still secrets to be guarded in the old mansion in Nanhua Lane, or the people who shelter them have limited abilities, so they can only hide in a place where they can see." ”
Speaking of this, Li Kuang seemed to remember something, and was shocked: "I have checked that old mansion, there is no secret at all, it can only be the latter, plus you say so, the person who can protect them must be very capable, but they can't go out of the capital, is it Wang Shun?!" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "In the middle of the heart, it is the ancestor of the inner court." ”
Li Kuang opened his mouth wide: "The ancestors of the inner court will have descendants?" ”
Xu Rui nodded and said, "It's incredible, but this is the truth, no one knows that he had a son before entering the palace, although this son has passed away, but the bloodline left behind is the only continuation of this old ancestor of the inner court."
For eunuchs, having no queen is always their biggest regret, and the higher the status, the greater the regret.
However, Wang Shun was luckier than other eunuchs, not only was he in a high position and trusted by three generations of emperors, but he also had his own bloodline that was still continuing.
In order to keep his only bloodline, no matter how wrong those people are, he has to do it! ”
Li Kuang said: "Do you want to say that Wang Shun will betray the Holy Lord because of this?" But this is not a sin, with Wang Shun's status, the saint knows that he has an heir and will not do anything to him, even if the descendants commit a crime, can't the name of the ancestor of the inner court be suppressed? . ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "What if they committed the crime of rebellion?" ”
"What did you say?"
Li Kuang was surprised.
Xu Rui said: "More than 20 years ago, the old house in Nanhua Lane was not the house it is today, if it wasn't for a fire back then, we might still be able to see the original appearance of the old house."
Wang Shun's heirs lived in that old mansion back then, and a fire killed more than 70 people, including maids, servants and side branches. ”
"Fire? I'm afraid it's not killing people, right? ”
Li Kuang listened to Xu Rui's words and speculated coldly.
Xu Rui nodded: "The truth may be the same as you guessed, it is to kill people and kill people." ”
Li Kuang smashed his mouth and said, "What kind of secret, it takes a fire to burn so many people?" ”
"Prince!"
Xu Rui spit out two words lightly.
"Prince?!"
Li Kuang looked at Xu Rui suspiciously.
Xu Rui nodded: "Our current crown prince is actually not the crown prince of the past, that is to say, the crown prince who has been the crown prince of my Great Wei for more than 20 years is not the biological flesh and blood of the saint!" ”
"Really?!"
Li Kuang was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly jumped up from the chair and stared at Xu Rui with wide eyes.
Xu Rui sighed and said: "At that time, the Holy Lord had not yet inherited the Great Unification, and at that time, it was the same as now, several princes fought for the throne, and the Holy Lord did not have an advantage at all.
But one thing seems to be a turning point.
It is also strange to say that although the princes at that time had already reached adulthood, they did not give birth to children, and the first emperor listened to the words of the warlocks, thinking that the royal family was cursed, and was afraid that he would be cut off from now on, and he was very anxious.
It just so happened that the princess of the saint at that time, that is, the queen Wen of our dynasty was pregnant, and the first emperor Longyan was happy, and by the way, her perception of the saint was much better.
So the saint also attached great importance to this child.
However, the saint has high hopes and will inevitably pose an absolute threat to other princes who have seized the throne, so this child has become a thorn in everyone's side.
Although the saint knew it, but unfortunately his disadvantage in winning the heir was too great, and one child was far from enough, and his mentality of being eager to make meritorious contributions and move back to the situation made him fall for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
The enemy used his military exploits as bait to lure the saint to take command of the certificate, and then bought off the steward in the palace, and moved his hands and feet in Queen Wen's fetal pills, Queen Wen was pregnant for eight months, and suddenly hemorrhaged, and it was too late to find out, and the child was still not saved after all.
After learning of this, Empress Wen was heartbroken, and her body was not as good as day by day, and she almost died.
At the critical moment, someone put forward a brilliant plan for Li Zhuang, which was to let Empress Wen hide from everyone, pretend that nothing had happened, and then find a child from someone else's family to replace the prince.
And it happened that at that time, a son-in-law of Wang Shun's family was born, so he ......"
"So he replaced the prince with his child?!"
Li Kuang said in astonishment.
Xu Rui nodded.
Li Kuang muttered: "Pretending to be the prince with the son of the people, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, who is so bold?" ”
