Chapter 175: Conspiracy Theory: The Death of a Brother
Emperor Jiawen lay quietly on the dragon couch in the palace, and the sons who were stationed in the palace every day to serve him were all separated by a layer of gauze, kneeling on the ground and crying uncontrollably.
These princes and princes all made the appearance of filial sons, but they couldn't wait to laugh three times in their hearts, their father finally died, finally died.
Zhao Yiheng also knelt and cried sadly with his brother, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a eunuch flashing outside, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Not long after, the Imperial Forest Army wearing armor will be surrounded by Emperor Jiawen's bedroom in a neat pace, and several Royal Forest Army with knives rushed into Emperor Jiawen's bedroom, and the knife was drawn to surround King Rui, King Jing, King Qi, King Yan and the underage Ten Princes tightly.
The old Baqi King, who had always been short-tempered, immediately stood up and shouted: "Bold, dog minion, are you dying?" ”
The Imperial Forest Army led by him didn't reply, and slashed at King Qi without the slightest politeness, regardless of whether he was the prince's or not, they all cut it first.
Although this knife is not a dead hand, it also makes a blood mark on his belly, and the ten princes who are still minors have nothing to do, this time these people are a little frightened, and they hide behind Zhao Yiheng, and they don't even dare to take a second look.
Although the newly adult Yan Wang was a little better, he was also pale with fright, biting his lip and not daring to squeak.
In the end, it is a young child, Zhao Yiheng reached out and patted the head of the Ten Princes under his armpit, and gently comforted him.
King Jing, who was released from the fiefdom by Emperor Jiawen a few days ago, saw that the bright red blood quickly penetrated King Qi's clothes, and looked at the fierce and vicious of the royal forest army, so he immediately stood up, pulled King Qi behind him, and said in a cold voice: "Who gave you the courage?" Even the prince dares to hurt? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone answer, "This king gave them courage." ”
Everyone looked at each other, only to see Zhao Yizheng, the king of An, who was in a wheelchair, being pushed into the walk by Zhao Yiyi, the king of Chen, and the two brothers had smug smiles on their faces, looking at the brothers in front of them as if they were looking at dead people.
Zhao Yiheng frowned, there was no expression on his face, no one knew what he was thinking, but when his eyes met Zhao Yizheng, he couldn't help but call: "Third brother." ”
Zhao Yizheng looked at him sideways, and a smile appeared on his face, as warm as the spring breeze in March, but the words he said were as cold as the cold winter of the lunar month: "Fifth brother, kill the few around you, and this king will give you a way to live." ”
"Third brother" Zhao Yiheng clenched his fists tightly, and his originally collapsed face was in disbelief at the moment, he knew that the third brother in front of him was no longer the original third brother, but no matter how he didn't expect that the third brother, who had always been harmless, would be ruthless to such an extent, even his own brother couldn't let go.
"Third brother, do you know that you are rebelling." In the end, Zhao Yiheng didn't want him to end up in an unbearable situation, but before his words fell, a royal forest army stepped forward and slapped him, hitting his head to the side.
Zhao Yizheng's face also had a look of concern: "Fifth brother, the eldest brother and the second brother have already gone, this king is the eldest brother, the father is now immortal, and it is normal for the eldest brother to succeed to the throne, why do you say that this king is a rebellion?" ”
Zhao Yiheng asked the man to fan the corners of his mouth to bleed, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yizheng, and then looked at Zhao Yiyi who was following him, and suddenly smiled, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and smiled: "The third brother is the elder, the fourth brother is the concubine, do you two want to sit together?" ”
These words are obviously to sow discord, but Zhao Yiyan didn't take it seriously at all, hooked his lips and smiled: "Old Five, your mouth is getting worse and worse, and you still want to sow discord when you die." ”
After a pause, he said: "Don't worry, I won't rob the third brother, I will be on the third brother's side from beginning to end." ”
Standing by Zhao Yizheng's side all along? Hehe, it's ridiculous, for so many years, Zhao Yiheng has always thought that the third brother only has one brother, but it turns out that in the eyes of his third brother, that one is his brother.
All the brothers present may have thought that Zhao Yiyi would seize the throne, but everyone did not expect that the third child, who had always been closed, was the most ambitious.
The emperor's throne, how tempting it is, is that he doesn't want to sit on it and wants to support which brother to go up, and he has a merit from the dragon to ensure that he has no worries in the second half of his life, even King Jing also has supporters, but he never thought that the emperor's imperial forest army would ask Zhao Yizheng to be bribed with Zhao Yiyi, and do such a heartbreaking thing.
Looking at this situation, King Jing felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to get out alive today, and he couldn't help the monstrous anger in his heart, but he took a step forward, but Zhao Yiheng stopped him silently.
Zhao Yiheng chuckled twice, desolate and helpless: "Fourth brother, so, you are greedy for the silver taels for disaster relief, and you raise those private soldiers for the third brother?" Even if he was relegated to a fiefdom to live those days, he didn't complain? ”
As soon as he said this, several other brothers were taken aback, raising private soldiers? Raising a private soldier is to kill the head, Zhao Yiyi has quietly risked the crime of killing the head to raise a private soldier for Zhao Yizheng all these years.
Zhao Yiyi's expression was a little wrong, he glanced at Zhao Yizheng, and then said loudly: "Yes, I am all for the third brother, and I have no complaints about anything I do for the third brother." ”
No complaints? Zhao Yiheng sneered, he saw that Zhao Yiyi had clearly fallen into the hands of Zhao Yizheng, although Empress Zhu was not treated by Emperor Jiawen, but Zhao Yiyan was born after all, even if Emperor Jiawen died, he had not been a successor since ancient times, he didn't believe that Zhao Yiyan didn't have any thoughts at all. Besides, those private soldiers were raised by him at all, and they had nothing to do with Zhao Yizheng, if it weren't for the handle falling into Zhao Yizheng's hands, anyone would want to fight, as long as they sat on that throne, the world would be their own.
"The third brother and the fourth brother are really affectionate." Zhao Yiheng shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Zhao Yizheng's thin and cold eyes: "Third brother, has your brotherhood with me been just a play all these years?" ”
Zhao Yizheng didn't answer, and looked at Zhao Yiheng's eyes without much emotion, as if he was a stranger.
Also, how can a ruthless person like him have feelings, all the people around him are just for him to use, and when they can't be used, they are simply killed and discarded.
"Third brother, you are really ruthless." Zhao Yiheng's voice was choked: "In order to pave the way for yourself, when you were in Jiangnan, you did not hesitate to send people to assassinate my fellow insiders many times, even if she didn't let go of her unborn child?" Later, he pretended to be seriously ill and pushed everything on the sixth child, so that he could block you, and blow up the dam by himself, and ask Jiangnan to launch a big flood and use the lives of those people to bring me down? ”
"Xiliang's princess is here, and you want to get her help again, so you directed and acted in a fire, and burned the third sister-in-law to death, so that she could make room for Princess Xiliang."
"It's really ruthless."
Zhao Yizheng, who was silent for a while, turned the wrench in his hand, and heard Zhao Yiheng say so much, and finally said: "It seems that fifth brother, you have long suspected this king." ”
Zhao Yiheng didn't answer, but the grumpy King Qi lost his temperament, and shouted with his mouth open: "Zhao Yizheng, you are so vicious, you really do whatever it takes for your own interests, and you can do even dirty things." He pointed at Zhao Yizheng's nose and scolded: "You scumbag, you should have fallen to death back then, it's really cheap to waste your legs." ”
Before King Qi's words fell, he saw Zhao Yizheng's face cold, and a royal forest soldier with a knife swung his knife and slashed down on him.
This time, King Qi was prepared and avoided a little, but he still asked the big knife to slash on his arm, and he cursed again: "My groove, your uncle, you have the ability to kill me." ”
"Do you think this king will not dare?" Zhao Yizheng's face was pale, and he almost gritted his teeth and said to Qi Wang.
The waste legs on his body are wounds that he can never erase, why are these people all able-bodied and happy to live, and he has to live in the dark for so many years, he can't go out or enter the palace, he can't participate in politics like them, and do what he wants to do, because of these legs, his princess is not as noble as the other brothers.
It's unfair, God has too much unfairness to him, if it weren't for the events of the year, he would be better than these brothers, and the princess he married must be the most noble, the world must remember him because of his talent or appearance, and it will definitely not be because of a pair of waste legs, naturally, he will not do anything to force the palace today, because he believes that Emperor Jiawen will directly crown him as the crown prince and hand over the country to him.
However, all this unfairness was because of the tricks of the eldest prince and the second prince back then, if it weren't for them, how would they fall off the rockery and become a waste.
But now it doesn't matter, they're all dead, aren't they? They've all got their deserved retribution, haven't they?
As soon as he remembered the appearance of the eldest prince and the second prince temporarily kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, Zhao Yizheng couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that tears flowed out, he took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped away the tears on his face, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, do you want to end up like the eldest brother and second brother?" ”
King Qi, who was still furious, suddenly stopped talking, except for the ten princes who were still young, they all stared at Zhao Yizheng.
It turned out that the death of the eldest prince and the second prince was not an accident, it was planned by him, a waste man who had wasted his feet.
Looking at the stunned looks of these people, Zhao Yizheng laughed: "Big brother knelt in front of me before he died, begging me, begging me not to kill him, he said that he was willing to give me back a pair of legs." ”
"Hehe, you said, what do I want his legs to do, so the horses wrapped around his feet and dragged him to death, you didn't see it, there was his flesh and blood all the way, it's so pitiful" Zhao Yizheng said and sighed, making a frightened look.
"And the second brother, he said that as long as I let him live, he was willing to do anything, so he ate the he pulled out before he died, I asked him what it tasted like, he said it was very fragrant hahaha, he was so dirty, I could only let him go to the water to wash it, but I didn't expect him to be gone after washing"
Zhao Yizheng's brothers, including Zhao Yiyi, all felt shuddering, when the second prince died in the fish pond, his body was so that the fish pecked and ate it before he was called to be fished up, and there was not even a whole corpse.
No, it should be said that the eldest prince and the second prince who killed Zhao Yizheng did not have all the corpses.
And what about them?
