Chapter 363: The upheaval of the Wu royal family

In the process of negotiating with the crown prince again, Tokhtar obviously did not back down at all, he just held an attitude of talking if he could, and fighting if he couldn't. Wu Guo is relying on water on all sides, so he thinks that no one dares to come and fight them, no one can beat them? If this is the case, the war between Wu and Li more than 20 years ago, if it wasn't for the war, the emperor of Li would have to deal with General Lu Ming at that time, and Wu would have been annexed by Li a long time ago.

That's what Tokhtar looks like, he has self-confidence, he is determined, and he is generally reckless about what he wants to do.

The prince of Wu Guo was really angered by him, and he sneered: "Prince Tokhtar, we Wu Guo want to treat people politely, if you hadn't targeted my sister from the beginning, we would never have turned against you." And it was you who took the initiative to come and said that you would unite with us to attack the kingdom of Li, and now your attitude is begging us to unite with you? ”

Tokhtar let out a rough smile and said, "Please? National diplomacy is originally an act of equality, but you look at this matter with the attitude that I came to beg you, does the prince think that our Beidi is inferior to you? ”

The crown prince sneered and said, "The Emperor of the Li Kingdom is now guarding the northern frontier, and you may be destroyed by them at any time." Let's talk about whether you are inferior, locally, our Wu State is about the same size as your Bei Di, and compared to the Li State, it is a small country. But our country has mountains and rivers, a land of fish and rice, and you Beidi are poor and miserable, you can only herd horses and sheep, once there is a drought or insect plague, your people are waiting to starve to death. So you say you're inferior? ”

Totoku narrowed his eyes, and some dangerous looks were revealed, but the crown prince didn't notice it at all, and continued: "Our Wu country can not take any country in our eyes at all, because we are surrounded by water, and you troops who are good at horse archery and land warfare are completely incapacitated. And your Bei Zhai is different, I heard that the man who is well-versed in the Li State has long beaten you Bei Zhai and didn't dare to go to the northern frontier, right? ”

Tokhtaku clenched his fists, annoyed in his heart, he stared at the prince for a long time, and then gradually let go of his hand.

Tokh actually wants to laugh now. Wu Guo chose such a stupid person to be the prince, he planned to destroy the country, right?

The crown prince had not yet predicted what would happen next, he was still chirping to show off the wealth of Wu and belittle the poverty of Bei Zhai, and he didn't even notice that Totok's gradually raised hands were attacking his neck.

When his hands grabbed his neck, the prince suddenly reacted, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" Let go of me, I tell you that you are now in the country of Wu, on my territory, if you dare to touch me, you don't want to return to Beidi alive! ”

Totoku laughed and said: "Yes, Wu Country is your territory, but this is my territory for the time being, you come to see me, you don't bring a single entourage, if I kill you here, smuggle your body out, tie it to a stone and sink it to the bottom of Qinhuai, presumably no one will know where you went, and no one will know whether you are alive or dead." ”

The crown prince felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and even the emperor dared to assassinate him that night, and it was not impossible to kill him now.

But even if the crown prince has fallen into such a situation now, he still can't let go of the royal arrogance, he didn't pray for Tokhtar to let him go, but said: "Prince Tokhtar, I warn you that it's better to let me go, otherwise when the time comes, Wu Guo will not only not unite with you to deal with Li Guo, but also make enemies with your Bei Zhai, and combine with Li State to attack your Bei Zhai together!" ”

Tokhtar laughed and said, "Prince, have you ever read?" Anyone with a little common sense will know that only small countries have always joined forces to deal with big countries, and if small countries work with big countries against other small countries, then the final result can only be that another small country also becomes a puppet of the big country, or is directly wiped out by the big country. I don't think the emperor of Wu is as stupid as you, and when Zhang Xiuhe came to explain to me today, he had already told me the emperor's decision, so I can be sure that even if I kill you and there is a blood feud between Wu and Bei Di, Wu will not be stupid enough to attack Bei Zhai with Li Guo. ”

The prince sneered: "Then you underestimate the strength of our Wu State, now that Li is in turmoil, we will not necessarily be in a weak position if we go to war with Li State, besides, we can also go to the Nanban and unite with Neon, do you really think we dare not do this kind of thing?" ”

Tokhtar laughed again and said, "But we Bei Zhai have already gone to Nanban and Neon before you." ”

The prince was surprised, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and after a long time, he said: "Anyway, you better let me go quickly, otherwise...... Otherwise......"

Totoku hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you for the time being, if you kill you, you will really be useless." You're right, we are poor in Beidi, and there is a drought this year, hehe, you shouldn't know about the drought in Beidi, right? I happened to be your life, and I went to exchange with the emperor for grain and grass and your princess, which is also a little bit of the meaning of your existence. ”

After saying that, Tokhtar sent someone to tie up the prince and take him into custody. Immediately afterwards, he sent someone to write a letter to discuss with the emperor about exchanging grain and grass for the prince's life.

The emperor was already asleep at this time, and was awakened by the eunuch, and he sat up from the bed, and immediately a palace man lit a lamp for him to read the letters written by Toto.

Naturally, there are people who know the Wu Chinese language, and they use a good hand to express their intentions very clearly. When the emperor saw half of it, his hands began to tremble, and he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted without warning.

The empress was frightened, and did not have time to read the letter in the emperor's hand, and immediately called the imperial doctor to come and see the emperor.

Several princes and princesses and Qingdi all came in time, and they all stayed by the emperor's side, but at this time they were still a little inexplicable, and they didn't know what was wrong.

Xiaohu heard that the emperor vomited blood and fainted, and he was already sitting in the corner crying silently, and the second and third princes were still a little sensible, so they stepped forward and asked the queen: "Queen Mother, hasn't my father's health always been very good?" Why did you vomit blood all of a sudden? And why don't you see big brother? Didn't you send someone to call him? ”

The queen had just read the letter that the emperor saw, and she was almost angry and vomited blood after reading it, she really didn't expect that this detached courage would be so big. She handed the letter to the two princes.

The letter made the intention of Tokh very clear, he wanted 100,000 catties of grain, and he would marry one of Xiaohu or the county lord of Yaocen to him, and he would spare the prince's life.

"This man is bold! On the territory of our Wu country, he still dares to hold our crown prince hostage and make such an rude request to us, I will lead my troops to go now, besiege the post house, kill Toto, and rescue the eldest brother! The second prince was so angry that he threw the letter on the ground and said angrily.

The third prince also read the content of the letter, he thought about it calmly, and said: "Second brother, don't be impulsive, now that the eldest brother is in his hands, he can do anything to get rid of this person, if we force him, I'm afraid that the eldest brother's life will be threatened." ”

"And what do you think should be done?" The second prince stared at him and asked.

The third prince avoided his gaze and said, "I don't know what to do...... I think it's imperative to cure my father first, and let my father decide. ”

The queen looked at her two children, the second prince was impulsive, the third prince had no opinion, if the prince really couldn't come back, what should they do?!

Qingdi and Chu Yaocen listened to it on the side, and guessed that it should be Tokhtar who kidnapped the prince and threatened them. Now that the emperor is sick and unconscious, these two princes do not seem to be of much use.

Soon the imperial doctor came out, and the queen immediately asked, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" What exactly is the condition? How can you faint all of a sudden? ”

The old doctor burst into tears, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has changed the disease of the rock, and he is angry, and he is already ...... There's no way to go back! ”

One day, the queen suddenly felt that the sky was dark, her head sank, and she almost passed out.

The third prince hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said eagerly: "Queen Mother, you can't fall down at this moment, we can't have no one to call the shots!" ”

The second prince glanced at the queen, and then asked the imperial doctor, "What is the disease of rocks?" How could there be no salvation? My father's health has always been very good, how could he suddenly not be saved? ”

"The disease of rocks, the poisonous roots are deeply hidden, perforated through the inside, like rocks hidden in the ground, and what can be seen by the naked eye is only a little bit on the surface, or even nothing at all." Chu Yaocen answered the second prince's question for the doctor, and then asked the doctor: "You can find out just now, where did Your Majesty's rock disease occur in your body?" ”

"In the abdomen, it is probably the location of the heart and liver." The Imperial Physician replied.

At this moment, the queen has gradually woken up, and she also knows that she cannot fall down at this time. Chu Yaocen saw that she had woken up, so he said: "Queen Mother, if there is nothing wrong with this imperial doctor's investigation, there is no cure for the disease of the rock, and you can only wait for death." ”

The queen was teary-eyed, but she could only hide the many pains in her heart, and asked: "Even if there is no cure, can you do something to let Your Majesty live for a while?" You can't let Your Majesty wait to die, right? ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "There is a way to continue his life, but it won't last long." If the queen believes that she is here, can she let her go in and take a look for Your Majesty? ”

The queen nodded, and Chu Yaocen entered.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Chu Yaocen came out, and everyone outside looked at him like a savior, waiting for him to say that it was the last imperial doctor's diagnosis error.

But Chu Yaocen didn't say that, he sighed and said, "It's indeed a rock disease, once this disease occurs, it's not far from death." I just detoxified His Majesty, and it won't be long before His Majesty wakes up. But how long can Your Majesty live...... I can't really guarantee that. ”

Rock Disease: Cancer in ancient times, the emperor had advanced liver cancer.
