Chapter 349: The Dead Are Gone (4)

On the way back to King Ning's palace by Yan Jun, Yuan Che was accompanied by Qi Zhan's coffin every day, thinking about the impulsive assassination that night, regret rushed like the tide of the embankment. Although he had a fight with Qi Zhan, and although he had secretly assassinated several times, he never thought that he would kill Qi Zhan with his own hands, in the Yan army camp!

And Qi Zhan, the first time he could have stopped him, but because he recognized his identity and hesitated for a moment, he was killed by mistake. At that moment, he didn't know what he was doing, he only had one thought in his mind - before the old man recognized Nie Xingji, he must kill him, he must make meritorious service, defeat Yan Jun, and cut off an opponent!

He knew he was finished, and he had lost more than he had gained by taking this step. He will forever lose people's hearts, forever fall into the handle, forever be branded as a despicable and shameless sinister villain, and forever lose family affection and love, lose Wang Grandfather and Wei Nong.

He didn't dare to look up, even if Wei Nong was standing beside him, he was not qualified to look at him again.

Wei Nong didn't think about disposing of Yuan Che, but instead remembered the situation when Fang had just met Yunchen, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you just seen Yunchen?" ”

"I've seen it." King Ning's tone was flat.

"What did he say to you?" Wei Nong asked again.

"What? Do you have something to say? King Ning's face remained as usual, and he did not answer the rhetorical question.

Wei Nong remembered that she had told Jian Feng that day that she would tell King Ning the inside story of Qi Zhan and Nie Xingji's assassination. But when the real words came to her lips, she hesitated again, what would be the consequences of saying it?

And Yunchen is in King Ning's palace right now, and it is impossible to escape.

Wei Nong was silent for a moment, glanced at Yuan Che again, and asked tactfully: "Didn't the prince of Wei Hou mention the situation that night to you?" ”

If it had been placed in the past, King Ning would have cooperated with Wei Nong to go around in circles, but now he was in a sad mood, and he had no patience to listen to Wei Nong's repeated questions and temptations, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you want to say?" ”

Wei Nong was surprised. With her understanding of Yuan Che, there is such a big thing and so many inside information, in order to get rid of the crime, Yuan Che will definitely confess what Jian Feng did to him. But looking at King Ning's reaction, Yuan Che didn't say a word at all? What does he mean by that?

Wei Nong looked at Yuan Che again, and the latter remained on his knees, unresponsive.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Seeing that Wei Nong was speechless for a long time, King Ning couldn't help but ask again.

Wei Nong was puzzled, and decided not to mention the inside story for the time being, she followed King Ning's words: "It's not what I want to say, it's what you asked me to do in King Ning's Palace?" You don't need to say those polite words anymore, if I really 'want to kill or chop' to the prince of Wei Hou, will you agree? Don't mention it! ”

"You don't know, you don't know at all!" King Ning suddenly became emotionally confused: "In this situation, Lone wants to be more sad than you, and wants to kill this insidious, selfish, and vicious dog thing more than you!" ”

In the slightly thick impression, King Ning has maintained a calm and majestic demeanor at all times, sitting on the throne for more than 60 years, after countless storms, the things between children and grandchildren have happened from time to time, and the loss of children and grandchildren is not the first time to see it, he should have practiced the incorruptible body of King Kong.

But he was furious at the moment, and his face was full of grief, which showed how hard Qi Zhan's death hit him.

Wei Nong didn't want to say anything sarcastic, because in this matter, Yan Ning was all victims, they suffered the same pain, the same loss of their loved ones. She could only reply: "How to deal with the prince of Wei Hou can be discussed later." I came here today to know what you think of the relationship between Yan and Ning, and I think you know it too. ”

Hearing this, King Ning's emotions seemed to gradually calm down, and he stroked his forehead and replied in a deep voice: "Gu asked you to come today to tell you one thing, which is related to the national fortunes of Ning and Yan......

Without waiting for Wei Nong to open his mouth to ask, King Ning was already in tears: "Nie Xingji...... He's a lonely's grandson! ”

"What did you say?" Wei Nong's heart palpitated, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

And Yuan Che on the side was even more surprised, and raised his head with wide eyes and asked, "Nie Xingji, ...... Isn't he the illegitimate son of the prince's uncle? ”

As soon as these words came out, King Ning's anger surged uncontrollably, and he threw the pen wash on Yuan Che's face: "Who said that he is the illegitimate son of your uncle the prince?" Can this kind of rumor also spread? ”

As soon as King Ning said this, he suddenly realized that he pointed at Yuan Che and scolded: "Oh! No wonder you suddenly attacked Nie Xingji! Lone still thinks you're fighting for the war between the two countries! It turns out that you suspect that he is the same as Zhan'er! You're afraid of one more competitor competing with you for the throne! ”

King Ning's face turned red with anger, and his hands slammed heavily on the table: "You and Zhan'er have fought so many times in the past, how many times have you said Lonely, don't kill each other!" Don't kill each other! You take Lone's words as a deaf ear?! ”

King Ning was finally so angry that he stepped down from the Danqi and kicked Yuan Che in the chest: "Yuan Che! Can you use your brain? If he is Lone's own grandson, Lone still uses all his efforts to support Zhan'er? There are ready-made candidates for the crown prince and grandson, what else are the two countries fighting! Do you understand such a simple question? ”

"Comfort yourself because you are lonely, you don't know the inside story, you have grown up, and you know how to plot against the enemy commander! It turns out that Lone Gao is looking at you! King Ning's voice was painful, he didn't care that there were still two eunuchs serving in the hall, and scolded Yuan Che angrily: "You can't make a thing!" You are simply stupid! Selfish! Vile! Insidious! Pig brains! You don't deserve to be a lonely grandson! ”

Seeing that King Ning was about to punch and kick Yuan Che again, the two eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to persuade him. Yuan Che also kowtowed again and again to ask for sin: "Grandfather Wang's anger is all because his grandson is not filial, and it is his grandson who listens to rumors and falls for others!" ”

"Whose rumors do you listen to? Who told you this? Who's slandering? Yes? King Ning asked sharply.

Yuan Che didn't continue, just pressed his forehead against the cold floor tiles: "It's all grandchildren's fault, it's all grandchildren's fault......"

"Who are you going to protect now? Who spread the rumors? You said! King Ning asked without giving up.

"Don't blame anyone, it's my grandson who heard about Nie Xingji's life experience...... Guess it yourself. Yuan Che didn't say anything except kowtow.

Wei Nong has been watching from the sidelines, and at this time he also said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I don't have time to watch you teach your grandson a lesson, let's get down to business first." ”

King Ning turned his head to look at Wei Nong, then looked down at Yuan Che, and stumbled a few steps weakly. The two eunuchs supported him left and right, and then listened to his order: "Lone must sit back." ”

The eunuchs hurriedly helped him back to the altar and helped him sit down again.

King Ning regained some composure and waved his hand at the two eunuchs: "You all go out, no one is allowed to come in without the permission of Lone." ”

The two eunuchs were obviously apprehensive and hesitated to respond.

King Ning sneered: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Even if she were to kill Lone, would she be able to do it? Can the prince still sit idly by? ”

Only then did the two eunuchs forgive their sins and bow down and exit the main hall.

Wei Nong hugged his arms and smiled: "Although I don't have a weapon in my hand, it's not difficult to kill you." Are you really not afraid? ”

Ning Dynasty waved her hand: "If you really want to kill, you will also do it after listening to the story." When the time comes, Lone will not give you this opportunity. ”

Wei Nong really wanted to know Nie Xingji's life experience, so he stood up straight and smiled: "Listen up." ”

King Ning leaned weakly on the armrests with his hands, and his words were ashamed: "Back then, I was a frivolous man who ruined a few children's ......" He slowly fell into a deep memory, telling the secret that had been accumulated in his heart for fifty years......

King Ning ascended the throne at the age of seven, the longest reigning king in the history of Kyushu, but in fact, he was still young when he ascended the throne, and the government was supported by his mother, known as the "Queen Mother of Ningguo Shengci". It was not until King Ning was twenty years old and the Empress Dowager Shengci died that he took all the power back and began the real road to power.

In the year of the death of the Queen Mother Shengci, he had just reached the age of the weak crown, and he was in power at the beginning, so in order to show filial piety, he decided to go to the royal tomb to guard the tomb 100 days ago. At that time, he had already got married, and there were dozens of concubines in the harem, but in order to win the good reputation of the courtiers and the people, he refused to accompany the concubines, and only brought hundreds of guards and a few maids to the royal tomb, and claimed: Do not wear silk during the period of filial piety, do not eat meat, and be pure and abstinent.

At that time, this passage did win him a very high evaluation, and was widely praised by the government and the opposition for a while.

It's easier said than done, life in the royal tomb is extremely monotonous, and he has nothing to do except read books and practice martial arts every day. said that it was a tomb sweep, but in fact, he didn't have to do it himself; Said to visit the garden, the huge royal tombs are full of the tombs of the ancestors and ancestors, even if the feng shui is good, the scenery is beautiful, he has no intention of wandering.

In fact, the days of coarse linen clothes, coarse tea and light rice are bearable, but it is not easy for him, a young man with strong blood, to really be pure in heart and have few desires. The few maids around Bisheng were all honest people selected by the Queen Mother of Shengci back then, and although the close service was meticulous, it was very boring and could not arouse any interest in him at all.

It wasn't until 7749 days after the death of the Queen Mother Shengci that a grand conjuring ceremony was held in the royal tomb for her, and he found that there was a woman guarding the tomb for his mother. It was not that he pretended to behave like this, but he really guarded the mausoleum, living in the stone room at the entrance of the mausoleum, lighting lamps, sprinkling sweeps, and chanting scriptures every day.

He actually knew this woman, a maid who was very favored by the Queen Mother Shengci during her lifetime, four years older than him, and her name was "Kanxue". Every time he went to meet the Queen Mother, he could see her serving by his side, and occasionally he would talk to her and ask the Queen Mother about her food, clothing, and daily life, and his impression of her was actually quite good.
