Chapter 77: Midnight (10)
"Oh, I'm laughing to death. Su Yucheng leaned on the carriage and looked at Su Yuzhe, who was driving towards the palace, and smiled backwards.
Su Yuzhe didn't bother to pay attention to him, he knew since he was a child that this guy couldn't spit out any good words, and he was depressed, so he wouldn't be bored to listen to some sarcastic words.
But Su Yucheng is the kind of lord who will let you go if you don't provoke him, and no matter what Su Yuzhe's attitude is, he still stepped forward, knocked Su Yuzhe's back with his tied hands, and teased: "I said second brother, people don't want to be emperors at all, what kind of heart do you have." Ahh The acting is quite realistic, can we discuss it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about. Su Yuzhe's back elbow withdrew slightly, blocking Su Yucheng back, Su Yucheng fell behind, but he was not angry, and sneered, "Why, when it comes to your heart." You want to be the emperor at all. ”
"Huh-"
Su Yuzhe suddenly grabbed the reins, the horse's front hooves were raised, and the carriage shook and stopped in place. The army that followed them also stopped.
Su Yucheng looked at Su Yufeng, Su Yufeng shook his head at him, signaling that it didn't matter, and he regained his confidence.
Su Yuzhe turned his head, his eyes were full of anger, and he glared at Su Yucheng, "If you say one more word, I will ask someone to shut your mouth!"
Su Yucheng was not afraid or annoyed, glanced at him, and smiled, "Second brother is so mighty." It's been really hard for you to fight outside these years, and your reputation for being brave and good at fighting is known to everyone in Ji Kang. ”
"That's enough! What the hell are you trying to say? "Su Yuzhe has lost his patience, he is a natural warrior, and he really doesn't talk more than half a sentence with these brothers who play with power.
Su Yucheng secretly glanced at Su Yufeng, and when he saw that the other party nodded in approval, he met Su Yuzhe's eyes and said with a smile: "What do I want to say?" Second brother, you are so powerful, you say, what will he think of the third brother." ”
Su Yuzhe was stunned, he didn't know what Su Yucheng was doing when he mentioned the third brother, but when he saw Su Yufeng's calm appearance in the carriage, he suddenly woke up, "You!" Su Yuzhe grabbed Su Yucheng's clothes, "What did you do to your third brother!"
Su Yucheng stared at Su Yuzhe's protruding hand and sneered: "What to do, what can we do to him, all we can do is invite him to tea." ”
"You! Your third brother never cares about the throne, why are you involved in him! Don't you know what kind of body he has!"
"Why should the second brother be angry? The third brother doesn't care about the throne, but what about you? What is your army doing when it enters Beijing tonight? Crusade against the thieves? Xue Lin, who followed by that guy who was crazy...... How do I remember that it's your personal guard?"
"Yes, I want Yun Mad to ascend the throne, that is also the last wish of my father, but you, don't say anything about the country privately, now that your father is gone, you are still dominating the throne, threatening me with your third brother, what do you want!"
"Hey, if you want Yun Mad to ascend the throne, I can't want the fourth brother to ascend the throne? Father's last wish? You, a person who is fighting outside the country, will you know better than those of us who serve our father in the capital?"
"You still have the face to serve your father in the capital!"
Su Yucheng's face suddenly became ugly, how those palace maids and eunuchs abused Su Bingcan-he was clear, but every time he went to see Su Bingcan, he was clamoring to find Yun Maniac, wasn't he his child?
Out of jealousy, he turned a blind eye to what happened to Su Bingcan until Su Bingcan died tonight.
"Then what about you?" Su Yucheng stiffened his neck, "Last year, my father and the emperor kept calling you back, but you only thought about dealing with the Yi clan, you haven't seen your father for a few years? ”
Su Yuzhe's face turned pale, and the hand holding Su Yucheng's shirt gradually loosened, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Okay, don't mention this matter." But if you want your fourth brother to ascend the throne, can he change his suspicions? Yufeng, you said yourself, you have ascended the throne, can you let us survive?"
"Second brother is saying that I will mutilate my siblings?" Su Yufeng looked at him lightly.
"You don't have to raise the bar with me, you just have to be worthy of your conscience. Su Yuzhe turned his head to look to the side, "Just threaten me with your third brother at you, you should know how low your bottom line is." ”
Su Yucheng was speechless and lowered his head.
Su Yufeng's face changed, "Okay, since the second brother said so, then I don't have to explain anything." Anyway, you help me ascend the throne, and I will keep the third brother safe, otherwise, none of us will think about it. ”
Su Yuzhe's body was shocked, "Even if you ascend the throne, a person like you, after tomorrow, you will still suspect that I am going to rebel." In the end, did you kill me before you were willing?"
Su Yufeng glanced to the side indifferently. "Second brother, you say these are meaningless, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me now, anyway, I have no father, no mother and no wife and children, I have died a hundred, but you are different, you have great achievements, admired by thousands of people, and there is a third brother who holds your intestines and hangs on your belly, if he gives me a funeral, I think, you are unwilling. ”
"You!"
"Second brother, I am not as good as you in leading troops to fight, but you are really inferior to me in conspiracy and calculation. As he spoke, Su Yufeng raised his bound hand and waited for Su Yuzhe to untie it.
He was betting on Su Yuzhe's humanity.
If Su Yuzhe untied his rope, then it means that Su Yuzhe is a person with weaknesses, he doesn't have to be afraid of him at all, the world will be his Su Yufeng's, and he will be able to sit firmly in the country tomorrow;
One second, two seconds, ten seconds......
Time seemed to stand still, and Su Yucheng couldn't help but raise his head to see what was going on, almost thinking that everyone had disappeared.
Su Yufeng looked at Su Yuzhe with a light smile, Su Yuzhe stared at the hemp rope on his wrist, and calculated thousands of rejection scenarios in his mind, he really wanted to support the injury maniac to ascend the throne desperately, but as soon as he thought of Su Yuhe's tragic death in a wheelchair, he went backwards and repeated it, over and over again, and finally, he closed his eyes and held the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The moment he opened his eyes suddenly, the knife fell, and the rope fell to the ground, and he turned around and drove, crushing the rope into the endless darkness.
Eleventh brother, you don't want to be the emperor anyway, so let the second brother be selfish once......

"Prince!"
Yi Lao followed the madman all the way, tired and out of breath but didn't dare to stop, walking and shouting, just hoping that the madman could change his mind.
Seeing that Yi Lao was working hard, he stood helplessly and turned around, "Why bother with Taifu, Yun Maiac's wish is just to see his father for the last time, now that his father is gone, and the coup has been pacified, why not let the second brother sit on the throne, he will not kill other brothers." ”
Yi Lao took a deep breath, "You really don't want to succeed?"
The madman looked at Yi Lao seriously, knelt down, and kowtowed, "Ask Taifu to be fulfilled." ”
Yi Lao shook his hands, his eyes were full of tears, "What is the eleventh prince doing, torment the old man, hurry up." ”
The madness straightened his waist, still kneeling, and kowtowed again, "Ask Taifu to be fulfilled." ”
"Okay!" Yi Lao shouted helplessly, sighing, "The throne was originally voluntary, and since the eleventh prince is unwilling, then Ziyu is not reluctant." Ask the prince to get up quickly. ”
The madman looked up at Yi Lao and confirmed that Yi Lao was telling the truth, so he got up, "Thank you, Taifu Chengquan." ”
Yi Lao shook his head helplessly, "As soon as tomorrow passes, it's too late for you to regret it." ”
Hurt smiled, "Cloud Maniac won't regret it." Taifu rest assured. ”
Yi Lao looked at him angrily and dotingly, and sighed helplessly, "You have your own ideas, and Taifu advises you not to move." Well, what are you going to do in the future?"
"In the future?" "In the future?" said with a mad smile and looked at the pale sky in the east, "The sky and the earth are big, will there be no place for me to go in the clouds?"
"You're leaving the capital?"
"Well, with tonight's events, will the brothers still be assured of my existence? Even the second brother, when the power is in his hands, will he not be afraid of that edict?" the madness smiled calmly.
"It's good that you can see it. Yi Lao also looked to the east, and there was a faint light coming up from there.
"When the second brother ascends the throne, I will leave the capital. The madman looked at Yi Lao, "Please also ask Yi Lao to take care of the thirteenth brother and my mother in the future, they are orphans and widows, and they are easy to be bullied." ”
"Alas, prince, if you ascend the throne, won't you be able to take care of all of them?" Yi Lao persuaded without giving up.
"Heh, Taifu, didn't we say okay?"
-----
"It's getting dawn. Su Yuxu sat in front of the window, staring at the crescent moon that was becoming more and more indifferent in the sky, and muttered to himself.
He was woken up by the movement of the previous night, and he had not slept all night, and sat by the window.
When his father died, all his brothers would show their original colors, and he was never optimistic about the battles in this court, so he put the leak aside, counted the time, and waited for the morning bell to ring.
Who will ascend the throne?
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Because he has a faint friendship with all his brothers, it is not good to talk about, nor is it bad, but whoever sits on the throne must be suspicious of his Su Yuxu's camp.
He can see it, and he doesn't expect anyone to believe that he really doesn't care about the throne.
He used to have only one father and a woman named Ji Hanrong living in his heart, but now that one has been exiled and the other has died, he has nothing to let go.
The sound of water droplets rattled, he stood up, called the servants and maids in, said that he wanted to freshen up, and specially asked his subordinates to find him a gray but extremely solemn regular clothes to change into.
After a busy time, he looked at himself in the mirror, put on a black jade crown, whitewashed the dark blue under his eyes, heard the sound of birds chirping outside the window, he walked to the door, opened the door, the first rays of the morning sun shone on him, he looked at the sky that had completely turned white, and found the bird that had just chirped.
The dark night has passed, and a new day awaits people.
