He Jingying was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while and said, "King Yuzhang passed away at the beginning of this year. ”

"Dead?!" The old man's whole body froze, and the slight joy on Fang Cai's face had not completely faded, and suddenly turned into a crazy laugh: "Hahaha, it's good to be dead, it's good to be dead!" Still dead! Suddenly, the old man began to cry again, and hit the cage with his head again and again: "Dead! How is it still dead! ”

He Jingying saw that the old man looked crazy, and even his forehead was oozing blood, so she hurriedly persuaded: "I heard that King Yuzhang passed away due to a sudden illness, and there was not much pain when he went. After the death of Yuzhang Wangxue, the emperor also had a lot of sympathy for Yuzhang Wangfu, and he was extremely honored......"

"Phew! Shed crocodile tears! The old man's eyes widened angrily and glared at He Jingying: "You look very clear, who are you?" ”

He Jingying was afraid that the old man would go crazy again, so she had to tell the truth: "I am the princess of Nanjun." ”

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly: "Xiao Fashen's wife? ”

He Jingying nodded: "You are ......"

"Then you are not an enemy. It doesn't matter if I tell you who I am, but you can't tell the second person. Otherwise, it would be a great sin to exterminate the clan. The old man paused, as if he had made a lot of determination: "I am Xiao Zixiang." ”

He Jingying exclaimed: "Fish Fuhou? But you didn't ...... three years ago."

"Dead?" Xiao Zixiang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yu Fuhou? He actually gave me such a title. The fish is lush and cypress in winter, and the dragon is hired to travel far away. Hahaha, want to let me travel far away? Hahaha, it's funny. Shed crocodile tears! Deceive oneself as well as others! ”

Xiao Zixiang was originally the fourth son of Emperor Qi Wu, the same age as Xiao Ziqing, and he should be in the prime of life at this time. But now the man in the prison opposite looks as old as if he has passed the age of the sixtieth year.

Regarding Xiao Zixiang, it used to be a sensation in the capital, and He Jingying naturally heard about it in Beijing. It is rumored that in the seventh year of Yongming, Xiao Zixiang rebelled in Jingzhou. Emperor Wu of Qi sent Xiao Shunzhi to raise an army to fight and kill Xiao Zixiang on the riverside. It is rumored that Xiao Zixiang's death was extremely miserable, his head rolled down the Yangtze River, and only a headless corpse was brought back to Beijing. Xiao Zixiang had originally been expelled, and Emperor Qi Wu was sad when he saw his corpse, so he reverted to Xiao Zixiang as a fish and buried him with the ceremony of the throne.

"What did they say about me?"

"What?" He Jingying was puzzled.

"What do they say about me rebelling?"

He Jingying said: "It is rumored that you killed nine officials of the imperial court in Jingzhou, and colluded with the barbarians of Jingzhou to establish themselves as kings. He also killed Yin Luo, a guerrilla general sent by the emperor to Jingzhou to persuade him to surrender. Xiao Wenwei was ordered to crusade, but you resisted stubbornly and finally died on the edge of the Yangtze River. ”

Xiao Zixiang held the cell door in his hand, and his five knuckles stood out one by one: "What nonsense!" As the son of the emperor, I was succeeded to the Yuzhang Palace. What reason is there to set oneself up as king? Rebellion? The people with bad intentions are Xiao Wenwei and Xiao Yunying at all! ”

"Xiao Yunying?!"

"I'm afraid Xiao Yunying is commonplace now, right?" Xiao Zixiang smiled sarcastically.

"Now I have taken the Shangshu Order."

Xiao Zixiang snorted coldly: "If I don't die, how can he be a little Situ?" Xiao Yunying's current power in the court is probably comparable to that of the crown prince. ”

He Jingying was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "The prince is gone." ”

Xiao Zixiang was stunned: "The prince is dead?" When was this? ”

He Jingying said: "Tonight." ”

"Tonight? You were arrested and put in jail for this? ”

He Jingying nodded.

"You killed the prince?"

"Not me."

"Then why did you come in?"

"When the prince died, I was walking out of the prince's academy and was knocked unconscious by a man in black. When I woke up, someone accused me of killing the prince. ”

Xiao Zixiang sneered: "Little one! Now even women have to take advantage of it! It's a pity that the crown prince was famous and finally lost at the hands of this villain. ”

He Jingying frowned and said, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Xiao Zixiang laughed and said, "Can't you guess too? ”

He Jingying was silent. Yes, except for Xiao Ziliang, after the death of the prince, who can get benefits?

"Girl, when you got married to the Dharma Body, I also came to give a gift." Xiao Zixiang's skinny back was tightly pressed against the prison door, and he said slowly: "Xiao Wenwei was the Prince's Mansion at the beginning, and when I was friendly with the Prince, I met him a few times. This person is very thoughtful, and his mind is not right, and the prince does not like to reuse him. He took refuge in Xiao Yunying, single-handedly helped Xiao Yunying plan the West Mansion, and sent his third son to the West Mansion. ”

"You're talking about Ghost Face?"

Xiao Zixiang nodded: "That's right, Xiao Wenwei's son is the ghost-faced Langjun Xiao Wuyu." His cunning and viciousness are even worse than his father's. I was defeated at his hands. ”

"I was young and vigorous at that time, and I made friends with Jianghu Ranger and made a lot of friends in Jingzhou. There are also people who violate the rules for a while, and they kill cattle for a feast. But this is not a big deal in the first place, at most it is a few reprimands. But the two of them set up a bureau, first making the emperor suspect that King Yuzhang had a rebellious heart, and then asked my Jingzhou Governor Shi Mi to impeach me for stationing troops in Jingzhou, and the inner court set up a banquet beyond the system, and also made a dragon robe privately. ”

He Jingying said suspiciously: "Exceeding the system and setting up a banquet can be framed, but the soldiers and private dragon robes can be found out at a glance." ”

Xiao Zixiang shook his head: "I was guarding Jingzhou at the time, although the trouble of the barbarians in Jingzhou was peaceful, but the barbarians are different from my Han nationality, if you want to really pacify the barbarians, it is better to assimilate them and take them for your own use." The barbarians like our brocade winter jackets, and I want it to be convenient, so I let the servants make them privately to trade weapons with the barbarians. Even if you check, you may not be able to tell clearly. What's more, where did the emperor want to check at that time? It's just a reason! ”

Xiao Zixiang: "King Yuzhang is the emperor's half-brother, and he was once quite liked by Taizu, and the emperor has always been suspicious of him. It's just that when the emperor first ascended the throne, the government was unstable, and the emperor had to rely on King Yuzhang. At that time, King Yuzhang had no children under his knees, and the emperor passed me to the palace of Yuzhang when I was still young and young. Although King Yuzhang is not my biological father, I have always regarded him as my biological father, and he took me like a parent, although there were other younger brothers in the palace later, but I have always respected me as the eldest son. ”

Xiao Zixiang turned his head with difficulty, looking at the rising sun in the small window behind He Jingying, and his eyes finally had a little brilliance: "At that time, Yuzhang Wangfu can be described as a father and son, brothers, friends and brothers, and those days were very beautiful. Among the emperor's princes, except for the crown prince, Xiao Yun's English is weak, although he is familiar with military books, he is suspected of talking about soldiers on paper; Xiao Yun is brave and martial, but he is a rough man; The rest of the princes have not yet performed the crown salute; Only the fourth Xiao Yun is still worth mentioning, but Xiao Yun is young after all and unstable. So gradually, I rose to prominence among the princes. At that time, the prince took pity on me and was succeeded to the Yuzhang palace since I was a child, and he was very close to me, so the rest of the princes regarded me as a thorn in their side. ”

Xiao Zixiang: "Once, the emperor reprimanded King Yuzhang for a trivial matter. King Yuzhang noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly played for me to return the branch. thought that this would pull out the thorn in the emperor's heart, but the emperor was still jealous. As soon as this matter came out, he did not let people investigate it thoroughly, and only based on some rumors, he sent Hu Huanzhi, Yin Luo, and Ru Faliang to lead 3,000 Yulin to build a city and garrison troops in Yanweizhou. I went to the city in plain clothes and surrendered, but they refused to let me go back to Beijing alive. ”

"I will hand over the cattle, wine, fruit, and food of the city. Kill the oxen and give them wine. But that Yin Luo actually humiliated me, detained the long history who sent me to ask for surrender, and threw all these things into the river! That is the grain of my Jingzhou soldiers in the past three months! In a fit of rage, I killed Yin Luo. Send 2,000 soldiers to collect weapons in the palace and cross the river from Lingxi to the west, hoping to confront them the next day! I didn't expect Hu Huanzhi and Ru Faliang to be waiting for this moment! The two pretended to be defeated and fled, and returned to Beijing to say that I had raised troops in Jingzhou! ”

Xiao Zixiang's finger joints pinched "click", his face was pale and gray, and his cheeks were slightly red due to anger: "Xiao Shunzhi asks for his life at this time, to crusade against me." I was dressed in white, and I led only 30 people to the capital in a small boat in the middle of the east. Xiao Shunzhi did not allow me to enter the city and wanted to hang me by the river. At that time, the prince hurried to the army, secretly replaced me from the river with a headless corpse in the midst of the chaos, took me into the palace, and begged the emperor for mercy. ”

"Then the emperor ......" He Jingying was slightly shocked, she had already entered the palace to face the saint, but she still ended up in the fate of being imprisoned in the prison.

Xiao Zixiang sneered: "He and I don't have any father-son relationship. To him, I am just a pawn to weaken King Yuzhang. He can use this matter to hit King Yuzhang, how can he let me go so easily? He stabbed me under the throne, and the blood stained the Weiyang Palace. ”

Xiao Zixiang tore off his dirty prison clothes, revealing his ribbed chest, three inches below his collarbone,

Xiao Zixiang straightened out his clothes and covered the terrible scar: "Maybe he has a bad conscience, he locked me in here and sent the imperial doctor." I also had a big life, and I actually survived. That's three years, ten months, and four days. ”
