038, showdown on
The old emperor, who had done great rebellious things when he was fighting for the throne, never believed in the power of heaven to bring anger, otherwise, he would not have done that kind of thing back then.
Therefore, when his second, third, fourth, seventh, and fifteenth sons were inexplicably killed by some thunderstorm, especially in broad daylight and when the sky was clear, he didn't believe it at all!
It's just that there is no way to explain this matter, and he knows that the people believe that set of statements, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
But he has never forgotten the death of his five sons, and he has always been haunted by it.
Until today, seeing this so-called "bomb" divine soldier, combined with the military strategy talent that the thirteenth son suddenly showed after leaving Beijing, he finally understood everything!
Everything, the eighth child was poisoned, and the second and third five people were so-called killed by the thunder, all of which were made by this rebel!
Even Lao Jiu's sudden madness and assassination may be the result of this rebel in secret!
This rebel has always hidden the ambition of a wolf!
"It seems that it was this rebel who shouted that the thunder killed Mingkun and their ......"
The old emperor recalled the details of the past and found that the more he recalled, the more suspicious the rebel became!
At the beginning in the imperial study, he was carried away by anger and ordered to kill the nine sons of Ming and Qing, and there was no one around to respond, only the rebel son came with a knife, and cut off the head of the nine sons of Ming and Qing without caring about the brotherhood of his brothers.
At that time, he thought that this son was reckless and didn't know how to figure it out, but now it seems that it is obviously the rebel who is "killing people and destroying mouths"!
After he was afraid that he would wake up, he interrogated Jiuzi, and then exposed his wolf ambitions!
The second son Mingkun and others in the back were the same, before he rushed to the scene, he took the lead in shouting out that Mingkun and others were killed by thunder, which made him feel very shocked, and he didn't care about checking the suspiciousness of the murder scene.
In retrospect, there was indeed such a thing at that time, and the pungent smell produced by the explosion of the so-called "bomb" divine soldier was permeating.
As for the purpose of this rebel to do this, being in the royal family is naturally self-evident.
Throne!
As a prince, it is nothing to fight for the throne, but this rebel son is so unconscionable, regardless of sibling affection, which makes the old emperor also have a deep jealousy!
This son is so able to forbear, and kills his brother regardless of his brotherhood, he must be a person who will be repaid!
Back then, he prevented the other party from marrying the Qinglou woman, and he must have been hated by the other party in his heart, not to mention his obvious disgust and differential treatment so many times later.
This son, I'm afraid he has already rebelled!
As soon as he thought of this, the old emperor's eyes were suddenly cold, and he had a murderous intent.
"Rebel ......"
He was never soft-hearted!
I was able to kill my father back then, and now I can kill my son!
……
"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? Emperor! ”
"Call the Imperial Doctor!"
The old emperor's sudden roar frightened everyone present in the imperial study, and Gonggong Zhang beside him hurriedly supported the old emperor and asked with concern.
The soldiers of the Vulcan Army, who demonstrated the throwing of the "bomb" divine soldier, thought that the current saint was frightened by the explosion of the "bomb", and stood nervously on the side, helpless.
After the initial anger, the old emperor quickly calmed down.
As an emperor, he knew that he could no longer reveal his intentions at such a time.
The rebel son beat the velvet country out of the country at a speed he never thought of, and also proposed peace, and even invented "gunpowder", "bomb" and other sacred objects, at this time, the reputation of the rebel, whether in the army or in the people, can be said to have reached the peak!
It is not an exaggeration to say that the merit is high.
At this time, he must not expose any murderous intent.
"I'm fine."
The old emperor stood firm, waved his hand to Gonggong Zhang, who was mobilizing the people, and said with a smile: "This 'bomb' divine weapon invented by Mingyi is really extraordinary, and with such an artifact to control the country, why don't I worry about it!" Come on, see the reward for Vice General Mao! In addition, I will pass on my will and order the Thirteen Princes to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and I will reward him for such a meritorious service! ”
At this time, the war in the north has been won, and the barbarians of the Velvet Country have proposed peace, which requires civilian officials to negotiate, and his actions are normal and not abnormal.
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Gonggong Zhang hurriedly responded, and then quickly went to draft the order.
Deputy General Mao of the Vulcan Army, who came to the capital with the "bomb" divine soldiers, also hurriedly knelt down to thank the old emperor for his reward.
Everything seemed to be normal, but only the old emperor himself knew what the "reward" he prepared for Su Ling was.
……
The capital, the palace of the six kings.
A luxurious carriage slowly drove to the gate of the Six Kings' Mansion and stopped.
Then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man with a restrained temperament and heroic eyebrows stepped down from the carriage.
Outside the gate of the Six Princes' Mansion, a man with a friendly smile, looking like he was in his thirties, and wearing a gorgeous costume, had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.
If someone sees the picture of the two meeting together, they will definitely be shocked and their jaws will drop to the ground.
Because, these two are the current six princes and the fourteenth princes!
More than half a year ago, after the crown prince was assassinated by the nine princes in public, there was a vacancy in the position of the prince, and the existing princes were divided into two factions with the six princes and the fourteenth princes.
This is almost a well-known thing in the officialdom of the capital.
However, today these two have come together, which is a miracle in the world!
I saw that after the fourteenth prince got off the carriage, the sixth prince greeted each other with a smile on his face, and warmly greeted the fourteenth prince into the mansion, as if he had been an old friend for many years.
Waited into the Six Princes' Mansion, came to the meeting hall, greeted for a while, the six princes dispersed left and right, the friendly smile was gone, looked at the fourteenth prince, and said in a deep voice: "Fourteenth brother, you and I have been fighting for more than half a year, but I didn't expect to be made by the thirteenth brother outside, and achieved such a reputation now, although my father no longer likes the thirteenth brother, but I have to admit the great achievements he has created, and the battle between you and me has become a joke!" ”
"Sixth brother came to me, didn't he just want to talk about this?"
After listening to the words of the sixth prince, the fourteenth prince looked indifferent, and said lightly: "If the sixth brother has anything to say, just say it openly, there is no need to hide it." ”
"Good! Fourteenth brother is refreshing! ”
The sixth prince clapped his hands, looked directly at the fourteenth prince, and said: "Just now, I got the news that my father has planned to summon the thirteenth brother to return to Beijing to accept the reward, you say, with the thirteenth brother's current great achievements, what will the father reward him?" ”
When the fourteenth prince heard this, he immediately fell silent.
The two of them fought for the vacant crown prince in this capital for more than half a year, and in the end, except for the accumulation of internal friction, they didn't get anything, and they also made Zhou Mingyi, who was not optimistic about it at all, and only thought that the other party went to the north to "distribute" and "send to death" The waste prince has grown to the point where it is now, which can be described as a big joke!
The name of the god of war!
The barbarians of the Velvet Country couldn't resist it, and proposed the merit of peace!
Either way, it's not something they can compare.
In comparison, their battle in Beijing is very petty.
Such a result was indeed beyond their expectations.
Now, the father intends to summon Zhou Mingyi to return to the palace to reward him, and with Zhou Mingyi's great achievements today, it is self-evident what kind of reward can be worthy.
It was precisely with this in mind that the fourteenth prince agreed to the invitation of the sixth prince, the "sworn enemy" of the past six months.
"What does the sixth brother want to do?"
The fourteenth prince met the gaze of the sixth prince and asked.
The sixth prince's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said: "Don't hide it from the fourteenth brother, I actually raised a group of dead soldiers in the capital......"
……
North, the stronghold of the Vulcan Army.
In the tent of the Vulcan military camp, which won a great victory, it has been celebrating for several days the great achievement of defeating the barbarians of the Velvet Country and making the uncivilized barbarians propose peace.
As the soul of the whole army, Su Ling, who created all this, was worshiped by the Vulcan Army for three days and three nights.
When he came with "gunpowder" and "bombs", he broke the lost soldiers, retreated one after another, and the Vulcan Army, which was full of despair, brought out the quagmire of defeat, turned the tide with his own strength, and marched all the way forward, defeating the barbarians of the Velvet Country, running away, and being afraid, he was already the "god" in the minds of the Vulcan Army and all the soldiers and generals!
We can't revere "God" enough!
So, in such reverence and worship, they waited for someone from the imperial court to negotiate with the barbarians of the Velvet Country.
Five days later.
Someone from Kyochu finally arrived.
However, these people who came did something that made all the Vulcans stunned and angry.
“…… The sinner Zhou Mingyi, who lost his conscience, was rebellious! Killing nine brothers, the evidence is conclusive, and people and gods are outraged! A special order was issued to arrest and return to Beijing, and the autumn queen asked to be beheaded, in order to set an example! ”
A holy decree of guilt, with the arrival of the envoy in Beijing, suddenly descended on the base camp of the Vulcan Army.
When he heard this holy decree, Su Ling was "stunned", and the Vulcan army was furious!
"Gan Linniang's! What a bullshit decree! His Royal Highness has made such a great achievement, and the Dog Emperor not only did not reward him, but also beheaded His Highness?! I'll fuck you! ”
"The Dog Emperor is crazy, isn't it! I am afraid that His Royal Highness will be a high-ranking master, and if I want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, I will find some excuse for being a person! also killed nine brothers, I killed him Lao Mu! ”
"Your Highness and I were born and died, and saved the lives of our brothers several times, everyone can see it! Although I have children in my family, I also know the weight of kindness and righteousness in my heart, and I don't want to touch a single hair of His Royal Highness today! ”
"You sons of bitch! I don't see you in war, but now I come when I pick the fruit! I also charged our Highness with killing my brother, even if I fight for this old life today, I will cut off the heads of your old dogs! ”
The crazy Vulcan Army, choosing people and devouring them, is eager to devour these bullshit envoys from Beijing.
It was Su Ling who stood up and stopped the Vulcan Army.
"Brothers, several envoys are just acting on orders, don't take your anger out on them, I believe there must be a misunderstanding in this."
Su Lingren stood between the envoy in Beijing and the Vulcan Army, and after hugging his fists on both sides, he said: "I definitely can't afford to kill my brother for such a serious crime, but I think my father and emperor must also be deceived by traitors, I will go back to Beijing to ask his old man for clarification, and please don't be impulsive first." ”
"Your Highness, you are confused! The holy decrees are here, what misunderstanding is there?! ”
Chen Kuizong, the leader of the Vulcan Army, stood up first after hearing Su Ling's words, and said urgently: "Is there anyone who dares to falsely preach the holy decree?" The dog emperor is obviously afraid that Your Highness will be a great achievement, if you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back! ”
"yes, yes! Your Royal Highness, the dog emperor has taken a fancy to your loyalty and filial piety, so he has repeatedly bullied you, you usually put up with it, but now, he is already going to kill you! How can you endure it any longer?! ”
"That's it! The dog emperor deceived people too much, such a big week, don't stay! ”
"Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, let alone people! Your Highness, as long as you give an order, we will definitely follow you to the death! ”
"Your Highness! It's the other way around! ”
"Your Highness!" "Your Highness!"
Voices kept coming.
The Vulcan Army, which was extremely angry, was persuading Su Ling.
Those envoys from Beijing trembled with fear of these rebellious remarks and did not dare to say anything.
But in the face of everyone's persuasion, Su Ling shook his head firmly and said: "There must be some misunderstanding in this, I believe that my father is definitely not that kind of person, I will go to the capital to ask for an understanding, and don't talk nonsense." ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the special envoy of Jingzhong on the side, bowed back slightly, and said with a smile: "Envoys, please don't spread the nonsense that my brothers just said, they just drank too much." ”
Where did those envoys in Beijing dare to say anything, they all forced a smile and said: "No, no, no......"
Seeing Su Ling's insistence, although Chen Kuizong was angry at his foolishness and filial piety, he still had to accept it in the end, after all, they respected His Highness, isn't it because His Highness has such a temperament?
I saw him gritting his teeth and said: "Since His Highness insists on going back to Beijing to ask for clarification, then I will go down with His Highness to ask for clarification!" ”
His words were instantly echoed by a group of Vulcan Army soldiers and generals.
"yes, yes! We escort Your Highness to your go! If the Dog Emperor wants to kill His Highness, you must first step over my corpse! ”
"Yes, I'll go too!"
"I'll go too!"
The Vulcan Army said that they would accompany Su Ling to go together.
"Nonsense!"
Suddenly, Su Ling shouted a loud reprimand, overshadowing everyone's voices.
He looked at everyone sternly and said, "You guys went with me, what should I do in this northern border?!" The brothers finally took it back, did they give it up to those barbarians again?! Are you worthy of those dead brothers?! ”
His rebuke made the Vulcan Army silent.
"Your Highness is right."
Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei again, spoke, he looked at the Vulcan army and said, "The northern border, which was finally recaptured with the lives of many brothers, really can't be given up to those barbarians. ”
But the next moment, he changed his words, looked at Su Ling, and said, "In this way, I will lead a team to escort Your Highness back to Beijing, so it's all right?" If your Highness still refuses, then you don't treat us as brothers! ”
Speaking of the back, he didn't wait for Su Ling to speak, and carried out a wave of moral kidnapping.
After hearing this, Su Ling opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he could only reluctantly accept this wave of moral kidnapping.
Subsequently, Su Ling and Chen Kuizong were ready to go, and they kept rushing towards the capital for a moment.
Then, less than a day's journey, in the middle of the night, they were attacked by a group of dead soldiers......
When after a bloody battle, all the dead soldiers were finally killed, Chen Kuizong, who was covered in blood, came to Su Ling's side and sighed: "Your Highness, the martial arts of those dead soldiers are all sects in the capital, you ...... Are you still going back to Beijing? ”
His meaning is already obvious, these dead soldiers were sent by Jingzhong to kill you, and the current saint has no intention of letting you return to Beijing alive.
When Su Ling heard this, he fell silent.
After a long time.
He looked up to the sky and sighed, looked at the full moon sprinkled with soft brilliance in the night sky, and said sadly: "I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch...... Father, why are you doing this to me? ”
