Chapter 272: Palace Change
"Don't panic, prince!" Wang Qing saw that the prince's hands were trembling slightly, and immediately held the prince's hand and whispered comfort, "Things must not be as unfavorable as His Highness thinks!" If the Holy One already knew everything, how could he just reprimand His Highness and give Deng Jieyu to death tightly? ”
Wang Qing raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
It was with great courage that he said this.
As soon as he said this, it showed that he had already guessed what the prince had done.
Throughout the ages, the more people who know, the less chance they have of survival.
He was apprehensive in his heart, but his mouth was firm: "So Your Highness still has a chance now!" ”
The prince raised his eyes to look at Wang Qing, his brows furrowed tightly, but Wang Qing's words rang repeatedly in his ears.
"Right...... What Qing said is reasonable, if my father already knows about it...... It won't just be the way it is...... He didn't know, he must not know! In other words, he only knows superficial things, and only knows that I have an affair with Deng Jieyu......"
Wang Qing sweated down his spine when he heard this.
There are many beauties in the palace, and the main hall of Li is noisy and lively all day long.
The prince even thought about the holy woman, although he heard that Deng Jieyu was a young and beautiful person. But men can't just think with their lower body, can they?
Yes, the prince can't help but want Deng Jieyu's body, and he wants to use her as a person......
Wang Qingzheng comforted the prince while pondering about it.
Suddenly, I saw the crown prince Huo Ran get up.
"Now that it's here, let's not do it!"
The prince's voice was cold.
Wang Qing didn't react for a while, "What is Your Highness going to do?" ”
The prince smiled coldly, "Qing, that's right, things must not be as bad as I thought, but if I sit back and wait for death, things will get worse!" ”
Wang Qing's heart was shocked, as if he understood a little, but he didn't seem to understand.
The prince glanced at him and said: "It's not that the palace doesn't trust Qing, but this matter is very important, before the matter is completed, Qing is still staying in the East Palace, don't go anywhere!" ”
Wang Qing fell to his knees, "Your Highness......"
The crown prince waved his hand and didn't let him continue, "If Qing doesn't want to stay, it's okay to leave now." ”
Wang Qing peeked and saw that the prince's gaze had fallen on the sword hanging on the wall.
Although the sword is used for decoration, a sword can also kill people.
He hurriedly kowtowed, "The minister is willing to serve the prince for the dogs and horses, the prince needs the minister to stay, and the minister will not shirk!" ”
The crown prince nodded, "This palace likes to understand people. ”
After speaking, the prince called someone to take Wang Qing down.
Secretly sent a letter to Uncle Ning Guo and his confidants.
Gu Yan of the Gu family also received a secret letter from the prince that night.
King Jing's Mansion Guest Room Courtyard.
Su Pu was half-lying on the chaise longue that Princess Jing had given him, looking up at the stars in the sky.
"Master, the appearance of a different phase in Ziweiyuan indicates that the inner palace is restless. The two stars on the Tianshu Star in Ziweiyuan flickered brightly and darkly, and the light and darkness alternated, is there any change in the world? Su Bai asked in a low voice.
Su Pu didn't speak for a long time.
Su Bai thought that the master was asleep, so he turned his face to look at the master, but saw that the master's eyes were wide and shining, as if the stars in the sky had fallen into his eyes.
"You ignore the one on the side, Tianxuan Star is glorious, move to the Middle Palace, with this star, this world will not be chaotic." The sound of Su Pu is very faint, like the night wind rustling the locust leaves of the trees, deep and long.
The morning drum beats and the door opens.
The people of Chang'an City began their busy lives as usual again.
Today's Chang'an City is no different from the past.
The east and west cities are still prosperous.
The cries of selling are endless.
People are scurrying around the streets, or walking around, or stopping to buy.
Calm and peaceful.
I didn't notice that the self-sufficient Ning Wangfu, which had always been closed to customers, opened the door outside the fang gate, and quietly opened, and a carriage slowly came out of it.
The door, which had not been opened in a long time, quietly closed again.
The carriage was ordinary, and there was nothing remarkable about it. Soon it disappeared into the traffic on the street.
On this day, the Imperial City Forbidden Palace was also very calm.
Only the atmosphere in the East Palace seems to be a little unusual.
The palace people who came and went felt inexplicably depressed, and they didn't dare to make too much noise when their footsteps landed.
There seems to be a ...... The dreary tranquility before the mountain rain comes.
But nothing special happened on this day, but the Shenwu Army, who guarded the palace and was in charge of the entrance and exit of the palace gate, and was responsible for the security of the forbidden palace, seemed to be particularly energetic.
The saint has been waiting in the manna hall where he reads on weekdays, and he has not come out at dusk.
When night falls.
The twilight drums on the top of the imperial city wall pounded.
Those who are near are afraid that their hearts will tremble by the shock.
The bustling east and west cities returned to tranquility.
There are no idle people in the streets.
The gate is closed, and on the street outside, only patrols pass by from time to time.
The gates of the Forbidden Palace, in tonight, are unexpectedly rare.
The palace gate, which was supposed to have been locked, seemed to have been delayed by something and failed to lock it on time.
In the darkness, figures float.
The door of the temple of manna was suddenly slammed open.
When the saint heard this, he turned his face away, and was about to rebuke.
But I saw the guard fall down with blood, "Holy ...... Holy Ones be careful......"
Seeing this, Huo Ran got up.
The people who knelt down with the saints were also stunned.
That person is not King Ning, but who is it?
King Ning has been staying in King Ning's mansion in obscurity for the past few years, and he is really farming and laboring. That warm and tranquil face was a little tanned. The cocoons on his hands that he felt out from practicing the sword seemed to have been sharpened thicker by the farm tools.
The guard didn't finish his sentence before he swallowed.
King Ning immediately woke up and shouted, "Protect the Holy Lord!" ”
He even turned over and drew the sword hanging on the wall, drew his sword and headed towards the door of the temple.
In the distance, it seems that the sound of blades colliding can be heard.
The saint seemed to be up too violently, and his body was a little shaky.
The eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support the saint.
"Where did this rebel come from?" King Ning escorted the saint to the outside of the Ganlu Hall and asked the guards on the side.
The guard listened to the voice, "It seems to be coming from the direction of the Xuande Palace!" ”
"Go to Zichen Palace!" King Ning immediately said, "Take the talisman, carve the god martial army, the left and right feather forests, and the dragon martial army will enter the palace to catch the thieves who plot rebellion!" Protect the Holy Driver! ”
"Yes!" The guard received the order, and before he could run out of the open space in front of the Manna Temple, he was shot through the throat with an arrow and fell to the ground with a bang.
The people who were guarding the saint's side were stunned.
A cold voice came, "Don't bother! The Shenwu Army is here! ”
The prince held a bow and arrows in his hand and slowly stepped forward surrounded by everyone, but the prince standing beside him was the commander of the Shenwu army.
Seeing this, the saint almost fainted, raised his hand and pointed at the prince and said, "You...... You unfaithful and unfilial rebel......"
"Protect the Holy One and retreat to the temple!" King Ning reacted quickly.
The guards who were guarding the saint immediately gathered around him, protected the saint, and retreated to the temple of manna.
The prince led the Shenwu army and surrounded the palace.
"My father is old, and now it's time to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, father and son, as long as my father makes an edict, Zen and me, I will not embarrass my father. You are your worry-free emperor, and I sit on my dragon chair, isn't it all happy? The prince said to the temple door.
The saint in the temple trembled with anger at the prince's words, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak.
Outside the palace, King Ning led a small number of soldiers to confront the prince.
The prince glanced at him, "As for you...... Well, killing your brother is not a good reputation after all, so you might as well cut yourself off! ”
"Prince, my father has always valued you, and now I don't compete with you, you can rest assured to be your prince, why do you want to fight with your father?" King Ning asked sharply.
The prince laughed when he heard this, "You and I have been fighting for so many years, don't you understand? I've been a prince for more than 30 years! More than thirty years! You know that there is a person pressing on your head every day, and when you eat, he will tell you that every grain is hard, and as a prince, you must know the hard work of the people, and you can always have food! When you ride a horse, he will whisper in your ear that if you don't exhaust the strength of the horse, you will be able to control the horse for a long time, and the same is true for the officials and the people! When you go on a boat, he will repeatedly warn you that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, and the people are like water, and the king is like a boat, so you must not be careless...... I, the prince, are depressed and unhappy! And you watch me every day by my side, thinking about my location! I have to think and think about everything I do, trembling and cautious, for fear of upsetting my father, so that you have a chance! I've had enough of days like this! ”
The crown prince looked at King Ning holding a long sword in his hand, guarding the door of the hall, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Now, it is finally time to get rid of all this, what is pressed on me will eventually be overthrown by me, and those who stand by my side and covet my position will eventually cease to exist." What can you rely on now but the sword in your hand? The Shenwu Army has blocked the city gates. Your message can't be delivered! If the talisman can't be sent outside the palace, it will be intercepted and killed! ”
King Ning's heart was full, and the sword in his hand was held tighter.
The Holy One was in the temple and heard the prince's words clearly.
The son he had carefully raised, he was afraid that he would not be able to become a qualified emperor in the future, so he was distracted and laborious to discipline him and guide him. In the end, all he got was his complaints, his dissatisfaction! No gratitude, no progress in the direction he hoped!
Shengshang's breath almost suffocated in his chest.
Just when she found out that Deng Jieyu was having an affair with her good son, Deng Jieyu insisted that the sachet was made by herself, without the guidance of others, and he still believed by luck that this matter really had nothing to do with the prince.
Now that I finally see his face, it turns out that I have always been at ease, I have always thought that I have not grown up, I have always needed my son, I can't wait any longer, I have long looked forward to my death!
He is dead, so he can sit on this throne! Good to be in charge of the world!
"Wishful thinking!" The saint squeezed out these words from between his teeth, "I will never leave this world to you!" ”
