Extra: The King's Desperate Situation 12
It turned out that this was not the case.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.
Not only was the matter of the dead man exposed, but even the matter of the abolished prince was exposed...... Or is it all a huge trap in the first place? When he set up the bureau, he didn't expect that he had already fallen into the bureau that someone else had done??
The fear in the heart of the king of Xianyang only rose at this time: as long as the face of the dead soldier was revealed, he would no longer have any room for maneuver.
And the rest of the Taiwei and Dongyang Wang and others were instantly petrified.
In the hurry, everyone's expressions were weird, and they didn't attract anyone's attention in comparison. On the contrary, Tuoba Hong stood up and quickly calmed down from his anger, his voice was extremely tired, "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you say this matter?" ”
There was a dead silence all around, and no one dared to respond hastily. Abolishing the prince is obviously a rebellion, what should be done if the rebellion should be?
It was Gao Lu who broke the silence first, and his voice was also full of pain: "The abolished prince does not remember His Majesty's kindness, and was instigated to rebel, although the crime is unforgivable, but when he is still young and does not know the sinister world, he must have been provoked by a treacherous villain, so it is imperative that the black hand behind it must be immediately identified and brought to justice, so as to set an example......
Tuoba Hong suddenly raised his voice: "Okay, King Xianyang, I will order you to handle this matter, and within three days, I must get a reasonable result." ”
King Xianyang knelt down.
"If the rebellion is true, if you do the rebellion, all the thieves will be beheaded, including Xun'er!"
This "inquiry" was uttered after a pause. It was his first son. Whether he loves him or not, no matter what his attitude towards him is now, however, he is his biological son.
Now, His Majesty's words are "Executed together, including Inquiry." ”
Everyone was terrified, including the King of Xianyang.
He was in a trance, thinking that he had heard it as "including the King of Xianyang." ”
Sons can be killed, why can't brothers be killed?? What's more, he and him are only half-siblings, not siblings from the same mother's womb.
Xianyang's voice trembled.
"Brother will do his best."
There was complete silence all around. Tuoba Hong walked out and looked at the Fang Mountain under the light snow. Unlike the slaughtering atmosphere in the north, where everything is depressed, even in winter, the pines and cypresses are evergreen, and the green bamboos are green. In particular, the large red plum blossoms that bloom in the inappropriate season decorate the country and make it extraordinarily enchanting.
He thought, no wonder the Queen Mother chose this place and left the ancestors and ancestors of the northern kingdom far away. It is true that a person like her should not be buried in the same place as the kings and ministers of the northern kingdom.
In fact, after living with the Queen Mother for so many years, he always thought that the Queen Mother and a cadre of civil and military ministers were completely separated, she was not like Xianbei people, nor like Han people, whether it was living habits or style, she was self-contained.
In the past, Tuoba Hong thought that it was because she was too strong in her bones, but now she understands that she is disgusted, disgusted with the struggle for imperial power, and disgusted with endless deceit, court, harem, and relatives...... As long as you are in this position, you are doomed to have to pay such a price.
Just like the tragedy of the son killing his father that has been passed down from generation to generation in the northern country, he still did not escape it after all. Xun'er is still a teenager, and he has not even grown up yet, so he can hold high the banner of killing his father, or in other words, act as a tool for others to usurp power and kill the king!
His heart was like a knife, looking into the distance, and he didn't have the joy of victory at all, but felt extremely sad.
Everyone said that the Son of Heaven was very good, three palaces and six courtyards, 1 queen, 3 wives, 9 concubines, 27 wives, 81 royal wives, and 121 people...... On the surface, so many beauties are simply a man's dream extreme.
However, who knew that most of the people in it were almost all political marriages? Out of various considerations, marriages with various tribes and clans, marriages with civil and military ministers, the emperor has no family affairs, and any selection of concubines involves the nerves of the court officials. The harem is actually no different from the court, and the struggle is even better than the party. If there weren't so many wives, wouldn't all this be much more harmonious?
The weather was dreary, the winter days were short, and just after the afternoon it looked like dusk, and he could hear the shepherd boy singing in the distance at the foot of the mountain. In such weather, the shepherd boy also rode an old ox and walked slowly halfway up the Fangshan Mountain, where there was a verdant bamboo forest, where he cut the young leaves of the bamboo to feed the old cow.
The shepherd boy was lazy, as if unwilling to work, and let go of the cow at will, leaving the cow to moo, stretching its neck to eat bamboo leaves. And he himself, with his back to a bamboo forest, lazily picking a leaf and blowing an unknown tune.
His clothes were very coarse, and he wore a very large cotton coat, which did not look like he was hungry or cold, but he was definitely not rich. In recent years, the life of the people in the north has been very good, and taxes have been reduced and exempted around the mausoleum of Empress Dowager Feng, the people will not be poor, and food and clothing are still possible, so the little shepherd boy is not too thin.
Tuoba Hong listened to his leisurely and complacent tunes, and there was a burst of envy in his heart. He remembered that when he was in Beiwudang, there were also many shepherd boys, and the Queen Mother also took her hand and taught herself to play such a tune...... Perhaps, the Queen Mother died too early to teach his son for him...... He regretted that if there was a grandmother, wouldn't the child have become so bad?
If you only have a wife and a son, the wife is not worried about falling out of favor, and the son is not worried about losing his status...... Wouldn't there be so many betrayals and tools for others to exploit?
Or, is it because he violated the Queen Mother's last wish and became a traitor in love, so there are all kinds of things today?
He also picked up a leaf and blew it on his mouth, whining, and the shepherd boy halfway up the mountain.
The eunuchs and guards stood far behind him, listening quietly, and no one understood what he was thinking. I was secretly worried that His Majesty had been getting more and more emaciated recently, and several times, the old eunuch urged him to call the imperial doctor to take a look, but he always refused to allow it, saying that he was very healthy and did not need the imperial doctor. However, after all, the old eunuch has been with him for so many years, and he can still guess the mind of the Lord in general, he quietly looked over from behind, but saw that the hand of the Lord holding the leaf was trembling slightly. Of course, it wasn't because of the cold, he was dressed very thickly, huge fur, heavy combat boots, he wore thicker than in the middle of winter. Moreover, northerners have always been hardy, and such a little early winter weather is not trivial to them at all.
But why is he so cold?
