128. The final victor
King Huai doesn't know what to say about this old boy, so confused, it seems that the old eunuch doesn't use him for a reason, he has no heart!
"What's wrong with the Holy Lord, I didn't alarm the Holy Lord!" King Huai was too lazy to pay attention to this person, and let him go to guard the tomb in the future.
"No, no, the time is very short, and it hasn't alarmed the Holy One yet." The great eunuchs were scared to death.
"That's good, or you won't have enough heads to cut off."
At this moment, a person walked out of the main hall, "Lord Wang, the Holy One has woken up and wants you to go over." ”
King Huai glanced at it and recognized that this was another personal eunuch Fu Shun next to Shengshang, who was also in the same period as the dead old eunuch Fuxing, but he almost didn't show up, and he was usually only in the apse, and few outsiders knew about it.
King Huai followed Fushun to the inner hall quickly, it seems that he still alarmed the saint, I don't know what is going on with the saint now.
In the dim light, Xining Sheng, who was about to lose weight into a skeleton, was lying on the bed, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, looking at his son who walked to his side, he finally squeezed out a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, the sky won't fall." The words were squeezed out almost word for word, and his trembling hand reached out to his son.
King Huai's originally stern expression was suddenly soothed, and he didn't have time to salute, so he hurriedly walked to the bed, half-kneeling, holding the dry hand of the saint with both hands, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
"Father, the son is incompetent, and you are frightened."
"Hong'er, I have been an emperor for more than ten years, a prince for more than twenty years, I haven't seen any wind and waves, what is shocking, and what is there to be afraid of."
The saint said slowly, although these words were very short, the saint still took a lot of effort.
"I haven't taught you anything to be the emperor, and I haven't done a good job in the past ten years, just because since I became an adult, all my energy has been focused on fighting for power, fighting for this position, where do I still have the energy to take care of the border and people's livelihood. Let you go to the border since you were a child, it's also because of this, let you go in Beijing, it's the second me, it's boring. ”
"What about you, you are stronger than me, and you are also assertive, the current Great Xia has reached a very dangerous point, and it depends on you next, the Zhao family has been inherited for three hundred years, and it depends on you."
"There are some things, I'll do it, this knife, I'll cut it, let these people go and explore the way for me first." The saint laughed.
King Huai couldn't even say a word when he took the hand of the saint at this time, only shed tears.
What made King Huai understand the reason for all this was that he saw his long-lost younger brother King Chu in the main hall, this younger brother completely lost his previous publicity, and he did not have the decadence and perverseness when he was imprisoned, and it seemed that he was very peaceful.
When he arrived at the front hall and saw Sun Zhicheng commanding people to take people out of the harem one after another, he almost understood that this was the time when the king of Chu really let go, and he sold all the people who supported him for whatever purpose.
Combined with the arrangement of the Holy Lord, he already had a general understanding of what the situation would be next.
When he entered the hall, he rubbed his forehead, stayed for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"Come on, pass on Sun Zhicheng."
There are some things that you have to do, and you still need to worry about what reputation, tyrant, what kind of jokes, let your father and the king of Chu help you stand firm in the court, jokes, that's not your character.
"You take 2,000 guards, you don't need to ask for an order, arrest according to this list, and several princes will be handed over to the internal prison, so that the Supervision Yuan and the Criminal Department will be interrogated overnight, and the confession does not need to be reported, and three days later, he will be beheaded for the crime of treason. Others do not need to be tried or imprisoned, and will be directly beheaded according to this list, their family assets will be confiscated, and their families will be repatriated to their hometowns. ”
Seeing Sun Zhicheng coming in, King Huai didn't wait for him to say half a word, and ordered directly.
Sun Zhicheng knelt on the ground, listened to the order, raised his head and looked directly at King Huai, with a resolute face.
"The minister obeys the order, the minister asks the prince, if other ministers ask, how should the minister respond."
"Call back and seal their door!"
King Huai appreciated Sun Zhicheng's attitude very much, and thought that he would ask a few questions.
Sun Zhicheng suddenly understood, this is not leaving room at all, he is holding his breath in his stomach, Wei Guogong's father and son were seriously injured by assassination, these bastards, they are really bold, can they still play like this now!
Let's see who has the big fist.
"The minister is gone, the minister's deputy general Wu Jun is also from the original border army, you can tell him something."
After getting up and saluting, Sun Zhicheng did not delay at all, turned around and strode away.
When he left the palace, Chen Zhihe, who got the news, also arrived, and he began to be startled when he looked at the well-equipped and aggressive thousands of guards and forbidden troops, for fear that something would happen.
I mainly defend the outside, if something happens in the palace, then no matter how careful the defense is, it is useless.
However, after hearing Sun Zhicheng's whereabouts, he was worried, but he knew that it was best not to say anything at this time.
The stability in the palace is really thanks to Chen Zhihe, since he was appointed as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he has been camped in the camp almost every day, and he knows how critical the current time is, and he also understands why Wei Guogong transferred himself over at this time.
Wei Guogong not only replaced the original commander of the Praetorian Guard with Chen Zhihe with the help of the last Chu king's incident, but also changed the leader of the palace army, and the one who took office was his subordinate Sun Zhicheng, and the current palace army has expanded to 5,000 people.
After Chen Zhihe took office, he secretly chatted with Wei Guogong a few times, and also made full coordination with Sun Zhicheng, and then fully understood some of the officers under him, and finally he spent three full days to make a delicate integration layout of the entire Praetorian Guard.
There were 10,000 Praetorian Guards, and he personally selected 3,000 soldiers from the middle, without any officers, most of whom were the children of ordinary people, and they were also people who had no backstage and only obeyed orders to work.
He divided these people into three battalions, focusing on guarding the three main roads in and out of the palace, and behind them was the palace army arranged by Sun Zhicheng, whose task was to guard the palace.
He arranged the 5,000 people who had learned and suspected that there might be any abnormal movement directly at the various intersections of the inner city, and demanded only one point, and at night, no one was allowed to let outside officers and soldiers enter the city without his own order.
His idea is very simple, since this part of the people can't use it with confidence, it's better to let it go and let them go to the outside to guard, even if it is against the water, it won't affect too much.
The remaining 2,000 people of the Praetorian Guard and a large number of middle and junior officers were arranged by him to go to various official offices in the inner city, a squad of fifty people.
Those officers just came in handy, and they were not afraid of these people jumping around, after all, no matter what they said, the officials would be used in the future.
Here, Chen Zhihe actually borrowed a little suggestion from Yuan Rui in the northwest, used the soldiers in different levels, and designed the use of soldiers according to the corresponding conditions.
Seeing Sun Zhicheng and them go away, Chen Zhihe wanted to go to King Huai, but he didn't dare.
Although he also sent dozens of his subordinates to follow Sun Zhicheng with a warrant, this was to prevent the Praetorian Guards and the palace army from clashing without knowing the reason.
But he still wants to advise King Huai, King Huai shouldn't do this now! He is only in charge of the country, not yet a saint, besides, even if he is a saint, he can't kill on a killing spree when he first ascends to the great treasure, how can he do this, and his reputation is gone.
But he can't do anything now, Wei Guogong was assassinated, it is estimated that King Cheng and the British Duke are waiting for news at home, and he can't go anywhere, he can't see any of these important ministers, where will he have the opportunity to advise.
These things in the capital, Yuan Rui knew later, especially some very obscure things, the news that came was not mentioned, or the county lord came to Tonghai to tell Yuan Rui.
Although the county lord said some things very loosely, but combined with his own memory, Yuan Rui finally understood that it was not lucky that he did not die, but someone else used him as bait!
Yes, Yuan Rui has almost recovered both memories by now.
It was said that it was a good thing, as if a black hole had been repaired, and he remembered a lot of things, and the fragments of his memories had now been stitched together into a complete and magnificent picture, and any detail in the picture would be familiar to him.
But he was confused again, he couldn't figure out who he was, two people, two minds, one body, and often a voice sounded in his body, come on, come on, let's fight, whoever wins will listen to whomever he wins.
Of course, these can't be said to the county lord and Xiaohe, I have crossed back from the black hole, don't scare the two of them when I say it.
After the county lord came, he told him a lot of things, especially the current dynamics of the court, and of course there are many details, which were told to him by the county lord after he came to Jijiazhuang.
The new emperor of Taining in Beijing ascended the throne, that is, the amnesty of the world, and at this time, someone remembered the killing god, and the original intention was so.
King Cheng has been seriously ill since the chaos, and seeing that every day is not as good as the day, even if Taining Shengshang did not blame him too much, he did not allow him to resign from the throne of the prince due to illness, and relax his heart.
However, King Cheng still did not resist the invasion of the disease, and died of illness at home on the sixth day of November. Since Taining Shengshang didn't condemn him, of course, he wouldn't blame others too much.
Before King Cheng died, he was afraid that the new saint would be dissatisfied with him and implicate the only remaining son in the family, so he could only do this, thinking that if possible, it might not be a way to live a dull life for his son.
He is very worried about this son, he finally had this sister-in-law in middle age, and he has valued it very much since he was a child.
Although the side concubine Huang became pregnant again and gave birth to Zhao Qingfang, he still had high hopes for this eldest son.
However, who would have thought that this son has not been the kind of lively character since he was a child, and since he was literate in reading, he has devoted himself to the pile of books, and he has no interest in any people outside, fame, fortune and official positions.
So much so that when he was in his teens, he didn't have much contact with the outside world, let alone do some communication, and for a while, he didn't even have the intention of passing on the throne to the king.
However, there is one point, as he gets older and reads more and more books, this son becomes more and more steady, and he is even more gentle and kind, not only very friendly to his family, but also gentle and drizzly to his subordinates, quite like an ancient gentleman.
Later, King Cheng figured it out, the throne is really suitable for the eldest son, at least he won't cause any catastrophe.
Besides, what are you doing so well on your own throne, don't be smart but be mistaken by cleverness and get wrong.
Therefore, the day after King Cheng died of illness and was buried, the court made several decrees.
Zhao Qingxiu, the eldest son of King Cheng, was officially canonized as the king of Chengjun, and gave Liu Quanyou, the youngest daughter of Liu Liping, a bachelor of Hanlin, as his wife.
There is also the will to deprive the eldest son of the Marquis of Shuncheng from the inheritance qualification of Sun Yunde and move his family to Yuezhou.
