Chapter 64: Great Changes (5)

Previous Chapter

King Zhennan also had a pale face, his hands clenched into fists, and there was deep forbearance hidden in his eyes.

In the autumn of the twenty-seventh year of Zhenyuan, Xuanyuan Lang, the prince of Southern Chu, was deposed, and his mother, Empress Xiaoci, learned about it on the way to the East Palace, suddenly suffered a stroke, and failed to wake up after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor for a long time, and the emperor had to order someone to move it to the Shunde Palace to recuperate.

In the past, the old department of the prince was also implicated in the Pingzhou case, and all of them were investigated, and nearly 100 people were convicted and demoted.

Even the Empress Mu clan was also implicated, and hundreds of dart masters in the Sunrise Moon Hall in Xinzhou died mysteriously overnight. The imperial capital Xianyun Residence was originally the Mu family's business, but on the night when the prince was abolished, it was also suddenly hit by a fire, and the shopkeeper Ji family, together with the guys in the store and hundreds of guests, all drowned in the sea of fire, and no one survived.

Everyone in the world said that Emperor Fu Xuan was a Ming monarch, and he did not hesitate to depose the prince in order to sympathize with the people of Pingzhou.

In fact, there is an inhumane reason here.

On the eve of the deposed prince, Emperor Fuxuan received a secret protection from the southeast, saying that the return of the king of Zhennan to Beijing this time was not as simple as just for the provincial relatives, and he privately stationed 50,000 troops in the deep mountains of Chizhou, and had a close relationship with the prince, and was afraid of misdeeds. Emperor Fuxuan knew that Chizhou was only a hundred miles away from Yunyang, and if he really raised troops to make trouble, he was afraid that he would be invincible with 30,000 Yu Lin Wei in the capital, even if he secretly dispatched Luo Cheng from the north to support, he was afraid that it would be too late in time.

When the King of Qin ordered someone to reply to all the Pingzhou cases tried by the Criminal Department overnight, Emperor Fuxuan did not like the crown prince, and now he committed a shocking case and made friends with the vassal king in private, so he had to take the opportunity to depose him in order to prevent future troubles. It's just that thinking about the relationship between father and son, it is inevitable that he can't bear it in his heart, so he discussed with King Qin to play a good show together in front of the court that day, just to explore the mind of King Zhennan.

No, everything was as he expected.

King Zhennan has been away from Beijing for ten years, and it stands to reason that he has not had much intersection with the prince, but he will guarantee him at the last moment, and there must be hidden secrets.

Although Emperor Fuxuan is old and frail, he also won the throne in the bloody storm when he was young, and many of them are unspeakable in the past, but Shangguan Jing, the king of Zhennan, is clear. As far as Emperor Fuxuan is concerned, although Shangguan Jing is his good brother who married Jin Lan, but since ancient times, which emperor can really open his heart and call others brothers? In particular, that person also has a heavy army in his hands, and his achievements are outstanding.

Yes, at the beginning of Emperor Fuxuan's ascension to the throne, in order to prevent Shangguan Jing from having a different heart one day, he gave Concubine Mei's cousin Leng to him as a princess.

Although Leng does not have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, he is also a beautiful woman, in addition to his appearance, his voice is also unusually soft, and when he speaks, he is like a thrush moaning, and his voice is moving. In addition, he has been practicing singing and dancing diligently since he was a child, and as time goes by, he has a style that ordinary women do not have.

After the Leng family married into the palace, Shangguan Jing was extremely fond of her. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and she didn't come out of the house for two years, which made Shangguanjing's mother very dissatisfied. privately discussed with his son many times about taking a concubine, but was rejected by Shangguan Jing.

After a long time, the old lady of Shangguan vented all the grievances in her heart on the Leng family, and every day she only waited for her son to go to court, and changed her methods to rectify the Leng family.

Poor Leng did not dare to act rashly because he was entrusted by Emperor Fuxuan, for fear of arousing suspicion, so he had to swallow all his grievances in his stomach.

Inevitably, the old lady will have another incident, and the Leng family has also hinted at Shangguan Jing several times that he has not done anything for many years, even if he takes a concubine, she will not have any objections. But Shangguan Jing is devoted to her, how can he be willing to let her serve a husband with others. Every time she mentioned it, Shangguan Jing just twisted her sword eyebrows, shook her head slightly, and said lightly: "Lian'er! This king loves, only Qing alone. Even if you marry someone else and go home, you don't treat each other sincerely, so won't you delay the happiness of others in vain? ”

Leng felt deeply affectionate, and when he thought about the reason for marrying him in the first place, he often felt guilty in his heart. But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and although he is related to Concubine Mei, he is actually just an orphan girl under the fence. Being able to be appointed by the emperor and marry into the Zhennan Mansion as a concubine is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. How did he know that a hero like King Zhennan would be infatuated with her, and he couldn't hold it in the palm of his hand and love her. For her sake, he even did not hesitate to disobey his biological mother......

Whenever there was silence in the dead of night, she often leaned alone in front of the window, looking up at the starry sky, and wept silently.

In this way, in the third year of her marriage into the palace, the old lady of Shangguan fell ill in a hurry because she couldn't hold her grandson.

Before the old man's sickbed, Leng took good care of him, but he still didn't feel good.

After all, in order to mend the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Leng family remembered that Shangguan Jing was over thirty years old and his knees were empty, so he secretly spent a lot of money to buy a few beautiful women from Yue Guo, and wanted to give him a birthday gift on Shangguan Jing's birthday. No, when Shangguan Jing returned to the mansion and learned about this, he was furious in front of his mother, and without raising his eyelids, he drove those women out of the palace intact.

At this point, the old lady of Shangguan was depressed, and her blood was angry, and she died that night in a fit of anger.

As soon as the old lady died, Shangguan Jing was remorseful and annoyed, but the deceased was gone and could not be chased. Leng cried bitterly in front of the old lady's spirit, just because of her.

Emperor Fuxuan heard that the king of Zhennan had lost his mother, and for his cousins, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to bury him according to the rites of the imperial family, and posthumously awarded the title of Mrs. Yipin.

After the funeral, Leng couldn't suppress the guilt in his heart after all, and revealed his true identity to Shangguan Jinghe.

After Shangguan Jing heard this, his tall and straight body shook slightly. After a moment of silence, he looked up to the sky and smiled, his eyes were full of endless sadness and desolation, he thought that he was faithful, and he thought that the man who had ascended to the throne really regarded him as a brother, but it turned out that everything was just what he thought......

Leng not only told the truth, but also felt ashamed of him, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that he looked painful, and he felt that he had no face to face him. So he pulled out the dagger that had been hidden for a long time, and stabbed him in the chest.

I didn't want to, but I heard him snort, and when he looked down, the sharp dagger was actually plunged deep into the back of his hand, and the blood ran down his dark and rough fingers to dye her plain white dress bright red.

"I just want to ask you, do you really have me in your heart?" Ignoring her shock and shame, ignoring the bleeding wounds, Shangguan Jing just lowered his head and stared at her eyes, wanting a sincere answer.

Leng had teary eyes, and he flicked up his sleeves in a panic to stop the bleeding for him, but when he touched the cold dagger, his heart was stunned, and a heart-rending pain swept through his body.

Raising his hand tremblingly covered the back of his injured hand, crystal tears dripping in the blood, and instantly dyed red. Forced herself to calm down, raised her eyes to look at him, and said softly: "If Lian'er doesn't have the prince in her heart, how can she be willing to die to tell this secret?" ”
