Chapter Ninety-Six: A Coup d'état
The commander of the forbidden army shouted sharply: "Su Ganra, the palace is where I guard, how did your people get in without my consent?" Then he shouted outside, "The king has been assassinated, and someone is coming!" Catch the assassins. The sound resounded through the palace, and it was strange that no soldiers from the forbidden army came in, not a single one!
Su Gan smiled and said, "I advise you to save some effort!" If you cut your throat, no one will come. ”
The face of the commander of the forbidden army changed greatly, and he pointed at Su Gan with a trembling finger and roared, "You...... What happened to your people? Oh! I know, it turns out that you have premeditated, and you poisoned the king to death. ”
Su Ganra spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "The wine was brought by the prime minister, and it was opened by the attendant, and I have never touched that bottle of wine from beginning to end, how can I poison it?" Your Excellency, but you are very suspicious, it is your duty to protect the safety of the palace, and now that the king has been assassinated, how do you explain this? ”
This made sense, and the eyes of everyone looking at the commander of the forbidden army became a little strange, and the fools knew that everyone was suspicious of him.
The commander of the forbidden army is a martial artist who can only fight and is not good at words, and his black face was swollen red by Su Ganra's words, and the green tendons on his neck burst out, and he just said the same sentence over and over again: "If you bring troops into the palace, you are rebelling." ”
"Am I rebelling? It's really a thief shouting to catch a thief. Su Ganra explained unhurriedly, "Before the dinner, I got accurate information, saying that someone was trying to murder Lord Zheng in order to rob the property of the Chinese guests. After my careful and careful investigation, I discovered a shocking conspiracy, it turned out that the mastermind turned out to be the prime minister, and the accomplices were you and the commander of the navy. To provoke the mighty Chinese fleet, your stupidity will put Sumatra in an extremely dangerous situation, what difference is this from treason? So I immediately told the king this information, and the king ordered me to bring my troops into the palace and arrest the traitors. ”
The tower sneered, now that the king is dead, you can say anything.
"Oh! So that's the case, no wonder the three of them hid around and talked sneakily before the dinner. Su Ganra's words were agreed by most people, and all the Sumatran civil and military officials present at this banquet were present, and they all knew that the prime minister's old background had indeed been a pirate with the two commanders for a period of time before, and it was normal to have this idea, after all, Huaxia was rich in the world, who didn't want to make a windfall?
"Bloody mouth, you're slandering me." The commander of the navy trembled, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.
"The eyes of the people are bright, have I slandered you, you know it in your heart, and all the adults here also know it in your heart." Su Ganra sneered.
"Stop quibbling, you killed the king."
"If you want to rob when you become a commander, you can't change your."
All officials were overwhelmingly in favor of Suganra.
"Fortunately, Master Zheng didn't have an accident, but ...... But they killed our esteemed king. Su Gan beat his chest and paused, regretting it, "I have always regarded the king as my biological father, I can't imagine that he is gone like this, the son wants to raise but does not wait, what is more sad in life!" It's all my fault, and if I had exposed your plot earlier, the king wouldn't have ......," Su Ganra cried loudly, and everyone knew that he was in a deep remorse.
The civil and military officials couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted excitedly: "Kill this group of traitors and avenge the king." ”
"Suganra, you must hold on, now Sumatra is relying on you to preside over the overall situation."
Su Ganra wiped away his tears and said righteously: "Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, I will definitely carry this heavy burden." With a wave of his right hand, the wolf-like soldier escorted the commander of the forbidden army and the commander of the navy out. The two shouted all the way: "It's none of our business, it's wrong......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the heat is unbearable now, and the body of the first emperor should not be left for a long time, and the funeral should be prepared immediately. As you know, the first emperor was frugal all his life, and if we were extravagant, he would probably blame us, so I dared to propose that the funeral should be frugal, and the dragon body would be cremated immediately, and arrange for the monks to do 9981 rituals in Tianlong Temple, what do you mean? Su Ganra sincerely consulted everyone's opinions.
All the officials nodded and praised, Su Ganra was calm, decisive, brave and strategic, and he was the king This is the blessing of the Sumatran people!
"Lord Zheng, I'm sorry to frighten you." Su Gan said ashamedly, "I'll send someone to escort you back to the Government Mansion to rest now." ”
"Don't bother with it, let's go back to the fleet directly, I hope someone can give me a satisfactory explanation of today's matter." Zheng He glanced at him coldly and calmly led people away.
Back to the treasure ship, Zheng He was still on fire, "King Tower, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"Nine times out of ten, Su Ganra is doing ghosts." Tieta carefully analyzed, "All these people arrested today are his political enemies, and now the king is dead, Prince Suhani is young, and Sumatra is already under his actual control." ”
"The king was poisoned, and we must not ignore it, that's for sure." Zheng He frowned, "Now there is not enough evidence to prove that Su Ganla did it, although the Daming Sailor has a lot of influence here, but he can't attack a country without any reason." ”
"Paper can't hold the fire, now I'll go to the palace to have a look, I'm sure I'll find some clues." Tie Ta sneered, "I didn't expect that this kid Su Ganra would cause trouble to the east of the water and lead this trick in a vain attempt to get our support, but I didn't know that this was an attempt to cover up." ”
"Okay, then it's hard for you." Zheng He said gratefully, "I am fortunate to have you reminded us just now, otherwise even we would have been poisoned, and I will definitely not be able to bear this breath." ”
The tower unknowingly returned to the palace, and the current guards were all replaced by army soldiers, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there were people who kept walking and patrolling. Although heavily guarded, it was nothing in the eyes of the tower, and after avoiding a few hidden sentinels hidden on the roof, he came to the outside of a small golden hall. At this moment, the lights in the hall were bright, and the soldiers guarding around looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"There must be big shots in there." The tower stunned the two guards in the corner and looked through the half-open window.
It didn't take long for footsteps to be heard, and Su Ganra walked in from behind the screen with a man in his fifties, with a withered face, a thin body, and a face whiter than a dead man, as if he had never been in the sun.
"Mage, your plan is flawless!" Su Ganra praised, "First we kidnapped the prime minister's son, and then threatened him to poison the wine, if he dares not listen to us, then his son will die." ”
"The prime minister has been passed down for three generations, and his son is his lifeline, does he dare not listen? What's more, I lied to him and said that the packet of medicinal powder was just refreshing and not harmful to the body. The mage sneered, his voice sharp, like the cry of a mouse, "It's a pity that he still can't save his son, but he doesn't have to regret it, I will definitely keep my promise to reunite their father and son, but in the Yama Temple." ”
"Mage, I'm glad you supported me in the back, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to take risks." Su Ganra let out a sigh of relief, and said with relief, "That stinky fisherman is destined to die tonight, even if he doesn't drink this cup of poisonous wine, but if Zheng He is poisoned, he will not be able to escape the blame, and the Huaxia Emperor will definitely sprinkle his anger on his head when he gets angry, so he will die if he drinks, and if he doesn't drink, he will die, it's just a matter of time." ”
"The stinky fisherman has enjoyed so many years of glory and wealth, and he is worth it." The mage sneered.
"You're right, but I still have to pretend to be a filial son and cry bitterly in front of his spirit, I feel disgusting to think about it."
"Endure the anger for a while, avoid the worries of a hundred days, I have survived so many years, what is the point of shedding a few tears?" The mage persuaded softly.
"That's right! Thank you, Venerable for your enlightenment. Now that the prime minister has been put in prison, and Sumatra is already in my hands, when my throne is secured, I will send Suhani to meet the stinky fisherman, hahaha! Su Ganra looked up to the sky and laughed, tears of excitement flowed from his eyes, he had waited for this moment for twelve long years.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you finally got your wish."
"Mage, the situation is not stable now, there are not many people available to me, you are my minister, I still have a lot of things to do with your support, so I have to work hard for you for a while."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this is the minister's business, and I will definitely wipe out the remnants of the stinky fisherman." The mage said respectfully, but he sneered in his heart, "Su Ganra, do you think I am sincere in helping you become a king?" I just see you so obedient, I just treat you as a puppet, even a lowly fisherman can be a king, why can't I be a prince with a dignified mage? ”
"Master, if you don't leave tonight, accompany me for a drink or two, and I'll call a few singers to cheer up." Su Ganra warmly invited.
"Still no, you know I'm not interested in that, staying here will only ruin the atmosphere, and besides, I'm going to feed the little ones, they've been hungry for two or three days."
"Oh well! I know those bats are more important than anything else in your heart. ”
"It's not too early, I won't disturb your rest." The mage stood up and said goodbye, "Those three traitors are already dead, you can give them to me!" This is called waste utilization. Before leaving, he did not forget to make a small request.
"Whatever you want." For this kind of request, which is not a requirement, Su Ganra agreed very readily.
"As I expected, everything was done by Su Ganra." The tower returned to the treasure ship and told the story of the incident.
Zheng He was furious, "The old king was canonized by the emperor himself, and it was disrespectful to the emperor for Su Ganra to kill him, and he actually wanted to poison us, it was really bold, no matter which one of them, it could be determined that it was an act of war against China." We don't cause trouble, but we are never afraid of it, and we must give a strong counterattack, otherwise what prestige will there be in the future? I'll go and destroy him now. ”
"What's the hurry? It's not easy to clean up such a small role as Su Ganra? If I wanted, he would have died a hundred times just now. "We wrote his conspiracy on leaflets and posted them all over Sumatra, first let him bear the pressure of public opinion, and then order troops and horses to surround the palace, so that the division will become famous." ”
"King of the Tower, you are still thoughtful! I was so reckless that I was so angry with this bastard that I lost my mind. Zheng He was very ashamed.
That night, 5,000 sailors dressed up as local civilians put up leaflets in the streets of Sumatra, and in just one night, Suganra's crimes were revealed.
Because of his benevolent government, the king was loved by the common people, and his sudden death also made the people feel extremely sad, and after learning the truth of the matter, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but Suganra grasped the military and political power of Sumatra, and fighting with him was like hitting a stone with an egg, and there was no chance of victory.
"Do you want to let him be lawless? Absolutely not! "People have a common belief in their hearts.
"Go to the Huaxia Fleet for help, only they can call the shots for us." I don't know who said it in the crowd, and then it spread to the whole country, and people gathered from all over the world and walked towards the port with great emotion.
The willing people on the shore knelt on the ground, and Zheng He said with admiration: "King Tieta, your trick is really clever!" ”
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world." Su Ganra rebelled, and his death was not far away. The tower looked calm.
……
"Your Majesty, it's not good." The attendant shook Su Ganra from the dragon bed.
"What's the matter? What a fuss. Su Gan got up from the bed extremely reluctantly, "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll make you look good." "These two days and nights, there is a little lack of sleep, last night's wine is still in the stomach, and his head is not very clear, he was woken up just after falling asleep, no wonder he is so angry.
The attendant trembled and presented a leaflet, Su Gan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it, and most of the wine woke up, and he shouted in a panic: "Go and ask the mage." ”
"This kid is really muddy and can't support the wall, and big things are going to bother me." The mage reluctantly followed the attendant to the dormitory, it seems that the seat of the emperor is not easy to sit!
"What's going on? Our plans were seamless, so why did they leak out? Su Ganra pointed to the flyer on the table and was furious.
"It's possible that the remnants of the stinky fisherman did it, you don't have to worry." The mage comforted, "Those untouchables are just small shrimps, and they can't make much of a storm. What we have to do now is to get Huaxia's recognition, you go and prepare a generous gift for Zheng He immediately, for the sake of gold, he should not embarrass us. ”
"Yes...... Did it work? ”
"Of course it works! In fact, Huaxia just needs an obedient king, and as for who is doing it, they don't bother to care! ”
Only then did Su Gan turn his worries into joy, "The mage is still resourceful, and I will go and prepare the gift now." ”
At this moment, the guard came in in a panic and reported: "National ...... His Majesty the King, the Chinese Army Pack...... Surrounded the palace and ordered you to go out and surrender now, or they will attack you. ”
Su Ganra was shocked, didn't care about scolding the guards for being rude, and hurriedly ran to the city tower.
