Chapter 111: King Han actually underestimated the emperor
The king of Chu returned to the capital from the north but did not return for a long time, and the ministers who supported the king of Chu could not help but be a little worried, fearing that the king of Chu would encounter an accident on the way back to the capital. A few years ago, the king of Chu went to Pengcheng to investigate the case of copper theft, but on the way, he encountered the deposed prince and they chased and killed him many times. If it weren't for the cleverness of King Chu, I'm afraid he would have been killed by the abolished prince a long time ago.
Although the king of Chu was ordered to go to the north for disaster relief this time, the king of Dai and the king of Han were in the north, especially the king of Dai. If the acting king sent someone to assassinate the king of Chu on his way back to Beijing, then the situation of the king of Chu would be very dangerous.
These days, the king of Chu has not had any news, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Seeing that the day when the king of Chu arrived in the capital was getting closer and closer, the king of Chu still had no news, which made the ministers who supported him not worry.
After calculating the distance of the king of Chu, he should have arrived in the capital in these two days, but the king of Chu did not return.
The ministers of the Chu King and his party were very anxious and worried, and hurriedly went to Li Fujiao to inquire about the news.
Li Fushu also had no news of the king of Chu, so he comforted the ministers and said, "The lack of news from the king of Chu is good news, just like when he returned to Beijing safely from Jiangnan."
"Servant shooting, did the prince encounter another assassination when he returned to Beijing this time?" A certain minister said with a worried face, "Did you send someone to assassinate the prince on behalf of the king?"
"The acting king is in the north, he will definitely not let the prince return to Beijing safely, he must have sent someone to hunt down and kill the prince."
"Servant, didn't the prince send you any news?"
"When the prince was leaving, he said that no news from him is good news, and he also said that no matter what news comes back to him, especially the news of his death, don't believe it, let us not mess with ourselves." Li Fushu is also worried about his grandson's safety, but he believes that his grandson can return to the capital safely, "Before the prince went to the north, everything was arranged, so don't worry, wait patiently for the prince to come back."
"The prince is blessed with a great life, and he will definitely be able to come back safely."
"The last time the prince was in Jiangnan, they were chased and killed by the deposed prince, and they all said that the prince was dead, but the prince did not come back safely in the end, and he also brought back evidence that the abolished prince stole copper forging weapons." A certain minister firmly believes that the king of Chu can also come back this time, because he feels that the king of Chu is destined to return, "This time the prince can still come back smoothly, let's wait patiently for the prince to return."
"Although there is no news about the prince this time, there is no news of the assassination of the prince, I think the prince is okay now."
Li Fushu continued to reassure the ministers, "Let's not mess with ourselves and wait quietly for the prince to come back."
After the ministers heard Li Fuji's words, their hearts calmed down a lot.
After the ministers left, Li Fuchu's calm and calm expression immediately changed, and his face became full of sorrow.
"Yi'er, you must come back safely this time."
The king of Chu, who was missed by Li Fushu and his ministers, was rushing to the capital without hurry. He had learned that his retinue had been sent out by King Han and that all the dead soldiers had been killed, and King Han had confirmed that he was dead. Fortunately, the person who pretended to be him escaped.
King Han confirmed that after his death, he would definitely continue to secretly collude with the third princess. At this time, if you investigate them, you should be able to find evidence that they are embarrassed to be women. It's a pity that he can't send anyone to continue to investigate this matter on his way back to Beijing. When he returned to the capital, King Han learned that he was not dead, and he would immediately break off the collusion with the third princess, and when the time came, he would check again, but he would not find anything.
The King of Chu felt that he could not miss such a good opportunity to investigate. In the evening, after they had settled in an inn, the king of Chu went to the leader of the caravan.
Although the leader of the caravan is not Liang Run, he is also a member of the Liang family. Liang Run had important matters to do because he stayed in Wusun, so he couldn't get out and send the king of Chu back to Beijing. For the sake of safety, he specially sent Liang Chun to escort the caravan and the king of Chu back to Beijing.
"Your Highness, if you have any orders, just give them."
The King of Chu said straight to the point: "I want the tenth brother to send someone to investigate the king of Han and the third princess, this is the best time to investigate them."
"Your Highness, rest assured, our people have already gone to investigate."
"Have you sent someone to investigate?" King Chu asked with a look of surprise, "Was it arranged by the tenth brother?"
"My second brother stayed in Wusun to investigate King Han and the third princess." Liang Chun said again, "It was His Highness who ordered my second brother to do this, and His Highness said that after King Han learned that you were assassinated, he would definitely continue to collude with the third princess, and this is the best time to investigate them."
When King Chu heard this, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect the tenth brother to think of one place with me, then I will be relieved." The tenth brother sent someone to investigate, and he would definitely be able to investigate something.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured, when my second brother and they find out the evidence, they will definitely send it to your mansion."
"Okay, that's the trouble for you."
"Your Highness, you're serious."
The king of Chu gossiped with Liang Chun for a while, and then returned to his room.
If Mr. knew that he asked the tenth brother to send someone to investigate the collusion between King Han and the third princess, he was afraid that he would be talked about again.
mentioned Yang Ling, he was also on his way back to Beijing at the moment. He was sent away in advance by the fake king of Chu, allowing him to escape. He was also arranged to follow the Liang family's caravan back to Beijing.
When Yang Ling learned that the fake King Chu and his party were killed, all of them died, and their bodies were destroyed, and his heart was naturally angry and sad, and at the same time he felt lucky. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Han who arranged all this in advance, then he and His Royal Highness the King of Chu would have died.
Through this incident, Yang Ling no longer doubted Zhao Yao. He finally believed the words of the King of Chu, and His Royal Highness the King of Han would never be unfavorable to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"Little brother, how is my young master now?" Yang Ling's outfit at this time was a gray-haired old man.
"Sir, don't worry, your young master is very good. In a few moments, you and your young master will be reunited."
Knowing that everything was fine with the King of Chu, Yang Ling was relieved.
"That's good, that's good." This time it's really thanks to His Royal Highness King Han. His Royal Highness the King of Han really has a deep brotherly affection for His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
Cousin, cousin, are you and King Han already convinced that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has died, are you very happy. After a while, you and King Han will never be able to laugh again.
After Yang Qi and King Han confirmed that the King of Chu was really dead, they no longer cared about the affairs of the King of Chu. At this time, they were busy dealing with the acting king. They had lured the king before, but the king did not take the bait.
"The acting king is shameless, it's better to be him directly." King Han felt that killing a king of Chu was also killing, so it was better to kill another acting king, so that the acting king would not be able to return to the capital.
Yang Qi saw that King Han really wanted to kill the acting king, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Highness, you can't help it."
"What's not to be desired?" King Han was very unimpressed, "Isn't it easy to kill him?"
"Your Highness, it is indeed easy to kill the acting king, but have you ever thought about the consequences of killing the acting king?"
"What can be the consequences?"
"Your Highness, don't underestimate the court, let alone the emperor." Yang Qi felt that King Han didn't take the court too seriously, "The King of Chu is dead, and another acting king dies, do you think the emperor will be indifferent?" Those people in the court and the emperor are not stupid, they will never think that the deaths of the king of Chu and the acting king are accidents, you will be the first to be suspected by them. At that time, the emperor will issue an order to thoroughly investigate the matter."
"Even if my father orders a thorough investigation into this matter, nothing will be found." Han Wang said very firmly.
"Your Highness, do you really think that the imperial court can't find anything?" Yang Qi asked again, "Your Highness, do you really think that what we are doing is seamless, without a trace of it?" The king of Chu can find out about our cooperation with the three princesses, do you think the court can't find out? Do you think the court is an ornament, and the emperor is a mediocre and incompetent king?"
Faced with Yang Qi's successive rhetorical questions, King Han was speechless for a while.
"Your Highness, you can look down on those ministers of the imperial court, but you must not look down on the emperor." Yang Qi's tone unconsciously became stern, "Have you forgotten all the things I told you before? If you forgot, have you also forgotten about the abolition of the prince and the former prince of Zhenguo? Don't you remember the Yuan family?"
Of course, King Han didn't forget, his face changed from disdain to a little solemn.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the fate of those family valves in Yangzhou?" Now I think of the Yangzhou family back then
, Yang Qi's scalp was numb, "Your Highness, do you think you can beat the emperor?"
"I ......"
"Your Highness, in terms of playing with power, no one in this world can beat the emperor." Yang Qi saw that King Han was still a little unconvinced, and continued, "Your Highness, think about the fate of those people I just mentioned."
King Han glanced at Yang Qi deeply, and only after a moment did he speak, "Sir, according to what you say, can I still sit in that seat in the future?"
"Your Highness, if you don't die, you will definitely be able to sit in that seat. If you have to kill the king now, then I can tell you with certainty that not only will you not be able to sit in that position, but you will die." Yang Qi said this very politely.
This was the first time that Yang Qi had spoken to King Han so unceremoniously, and after hearing this, King Han said with tears and laughter: "Sir, are you too afraid of my father?"
"Your Highness, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of the emperor, I advise you to be afraid of the emperor as well, otherwise the consequences will not be borne by you." Yang Qi said in a sharp tone, "When the news of the assassination of the King of Chu is exposed, the emperor will inevitably be furious, and he will definitely send someone to the north to investigate this matter thoroughly. Two sons have died one after another, and I think the emperor will definitely dig three feet at that time, and also find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
Han Wang frowned slightly and did not speak.
"Your Highness, don't think that the emperor won't kill you, the tiger poison doesn't eat the child, and the emperor can't move forward." Yang Qi warned King Han again, "The emperor has ten sons, the dead King of Chu and the Acting King, plus you, and several sons."
"Sir, you're really being rude." King Han smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness, I'm telling the truth. The death of the king is a great harm to us." Yang Qi continued to persuade, "It is beneficial for us to live on behalf of the king."
After listening to Yang Qi's sharp words, King Han put away the contempt in his heart.
"Listen to sir, leave the king's dog life for the time being."
Seeing that King Han finally listened to his words, Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Your Highness, when the acting king returns to the capital, it will not be too late for us to get rid of him."
"Everything is according to the arrangement of the gentleman."
Yang Qi didn't say anything about acting for the king, and changed the topic to talk about cooperating with the third princess. With that, he stepped back and went back to his study.
Alas, these years of concealment have made King Han more and more confident. Now, I am too confident, I don't even pay attention to the emperor, I actually think that I can fight the emperor! We can't let King Han go on like this anymore, otherwise the consequences will be really unimaginable.
