30. I am a small people, and I dare to go to the sky
In the main hall, King Xiang's personal generals and maids kept throwing black bundles of firewood outside.
In the dark night, those black firewoods were illuminated very clearly under the torches of Zhang Shun and others.
"It's soaked in oil!"
"No wonder it looks black."
There was a lot of discussion in the hospital.
The head of the Xiangwang Mansion was directly paralyzed on the ground at this time, and he understood that the strong character of the King of Xiang would not admit his guilt, but wanted to self-immolate.
Changshi's face was pale, although he was loyal to the imperial court, but the relationship between King Xiang and him for many years was also true, he trembled, and he couldn't even speak clearly with nervousness: "Lord Wang...... Master, don't be like this, this is not a big deal, admit your mistake to the court, don't be stupid. ”
Zhu Bai looked at the sky, laughed and shouted to the sky: "Dad, do you see it, do you see it, if you have a spirit in the sky, look at the humiliation of your son, you see the good emperor and grandson you chose, you are really confused!" ”
Zhang Shun and Jingzhou prefect said:
"Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, dares to insult Jinshang here, it's really bold."
Zhu Bai was not afraid, and he sneered with a strong temperament: "You are just a group of lackeys of Jianwen, how qualified are you to interrogate this king here, this king is the son of the first emperor, and it is not your turn to shout."
Today, I'd rather die than obey! ”
After Zhu Bai finished speaking, he picked up the candle and threw it on the firewood piled up around, burning it to both sides, devouring the firewood.
The door of the palace was closed, and the voice of King Xiang came from inside.
Both Zhang Shun and the prefect of Jingzhou turned pale.
The Jingzhou prefect intends to put out the fire.
Zhang Shun grabbed him, His Majesty said in the capital that he would get rid of Zhu Bai no matter what, and Mr. Huang and Qi Shangshu also said the same.
Wouldn't it be better if Zhu Bai died.
Zhang Shun deliberately shouted to put out the fire, but did not take half a step forward. The Xiangwang Mansion was surrounded by them on all sides, and they were not afraid of them escaping.
The head of the Xiang Prince's Mansion was afraid, and now the King of Xiang chose to self-immolate, and these firewood should have been prepared at that time.
If the king of Xiang dies, he will be directly put in prison by Jinshang when he goes back, which is a capital crime.
Anyway, it's all death, so why go to the court to suffer.
Changshi smiled: "Lord Wang, let your subordinates go with you." ”
After speaking, he ran directly into the firewood at the gate of the palace, became a fire man, and shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, your subordinates will accompany you on the last journey, haha, you have lived up to the entrustment of the first emperor." ”
Inside the house, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, called the Gao family and the side concubine into the inner hall: "Princess, don't blame this king for being ruthless, even if we follow us to the capital, we will not escape death."
This king's good nephew actually wants to cut the flowers, how could he ask me Zhu Bai for the nine dings, nine gates, and nine dragon pillars five or six years ago.
I, Zhu Bai, am also a part of his Jianwen Cutting Section, and I Zhu Bai went underground to ask the first emperor why he wanted to divide the seal, and now he has ended up like this.
Poor king's unborn child will be a vain death. ”
Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, sat behind the table in the main hall, and beside him sat the Gao family and the side concubine who were pregnant with Liujia.
The guards and maids also stood on both sides, and they had already burst into tears: "Lord, the princess and the prince don't deserve to die, let's run away." If you want to rebel, your subordinates will accompany you. ”
Zhu Bai shook his head: "If we don't have to be opposed, we will be said to be reversed, if we rush out to fight them, won't we admit that we are anti-thieves."
Today, I, Zhu Bai, will show the people of the world, and let the people of the world know that I Zhu Bai is not a thief. ”
"Bang dang."
At the bottom of the table under His Royal Highness, the stone slab was directly lifted, and Zhu Bai turned around, holding a spear and about to stab.
"Uncle Twelve." Zhu Gaoxu exclaimed urgently.
Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, was a little surprised, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Gaoxu, why are you?" ”
Behind him, Zhu Neng and Cheng Yuan also jumped out and stood up, Cheng Yuan arched his hand and said, "I will be entrusted by King Yan to take the prince away." ”
Zhu Bai had a strong temperament, shook his head and muttered to himself: "I, Zhu Bai, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and this king would rather die than run." ”
"Your Highness!" The relatives next to him ran to Zhu Bai's side: "Let's go, what about the child in the princess's womb, it's innocent, my subordinates beg you, let's go." ”
Zhu Bai glanced at Gao's bulging lower abdomen and said, "Concubine Ai, let's go, take the child to find my fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law." ”
Zhu Bai looked at Gao and said to Zhu Gaoxu, "Take her away." ”
Gao shook his head: "Lord Wang, if the prince is dead, what is the point of the concubine alive." I can't bear to live alone, since Da Ming can't tolerate us, we will go to Huangquan to be a loving family. ”
The side concubine next to her also nodded.
Cheng Yuan glanced at the fire, it was really a person who died from talking too much, so he put it here to play a bitter scene, and walked directly in front of King Xiang: "If the prince immolates himself like this today, then who will wash away your grievances." Are you worthy of King Yan risking his life to save you? ”
"With all due respect, the prince's child is innocent. Have you ever thought that he already has consciousness and life? ”
Zhu Bai looked at Cheng Yuan for a long time, and then sneered and said: "You are a small citizen, where do you understand the ambition of this king, this king is the son of the first emperor, not a coward." ”
Cheng Yuan didn't laugh angrily: "In the eyes of the prince, I am a small citizen. Although I am a small people, I dare to look high in the sky.
Lord, what else would you do besides shouting in the name of death? Are you really the world that people will say fair for you? No.
In this world, in addition to the will to die, there is also the death to apologize. ”
Zhu Bai was stunned, this person sent by the fourth brother was right, in addition to the will of death, there is also death to apologize, and self-determination for fear of crime.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the pear blossoms crying from the side concubine bring rain.
Outside the door, many maids and other entourages knew that King Xiang was going to die, and they could not escape the court's questioning, so they ran into the fire one after another.
In the hall, Zhu Bai was already a little shaken, and Cheng Yuan immediately picked on the weakness of Princess Xiang Gao's and said: "Princess Xiang, for the sake of the child in your womb, live." If you die with your child, the prince of Xiang will really have no descendants. ”
Zhu Gaoxu also said: "Uncle, let's leave first, my father will ask for justice for you with other Uncle Wang, let's go!" ”
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire outside the door was already burning the pillars of the temple.
Cheng Yuan and Zhu Neng made a look, and Zhu Neng knocked King Xiang unconscious directly from behind.
Princess Gao and Concubine Xiang were stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhu Neng: "You ......"
The flames crackled and devoured the roof.
Cheng Yuan said: "Princess, take the prince with us, King Yan will help you get justice." ”
Princess Xiang was reluctant to give up her child, and she hesitated at the moment.
Who knew that the military generals who followed King Xiang next to him glanced at Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaoxu: "Please be sure to take the prince away." ”
The military general squatted down, began to pick up the armor on the king of Xiang, quickly put it on himself, and said: "As long as the court finds the body in the fire, it will no longer be pursued everywhere." ”
The girl next to her also nodded.
The side concubine bit her lip and walked to Princess Gao's side: "Princess, you better run away with the prince, I failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince, and the child in my sister's womb is the only bloodline of the prince, and there can be no mistakes." ”
Princess Xiang was puzzled, but the next moment she understood, the concubine found something to fill her abdomen, and said with tears in her eyes: "Let's go, let's go." ”
Listening to their incoherent words, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng put Zhu Bai down from the entrance and caught it alone.
Cheng Yuan glanced at Princess Xiang: "Quick." ”
Princess Xiang followed Cheng Yuan into the tunnel.
The concubines and generals of the king of Xiang closed the floor tiles and pushed the table on top of the tiles.
Dressed in armor with his back to the gate, he stood in the middle of the fire with a spear.
The fire burned all night, reflecting half of the sky in Jingzhou Mansion.
