In the darkness of the sky, there seemed to be a woman crying out bitterly, vibrating He Tao's eardrums one after another, so that he could not fall asleep, he was obviously so tired, but he still struggled to wake up, there was still a heavy darkness in front of him, but he clearly felt the pain that penetrated deep into his bones, so that he could no longer hold back his moaning.

After being awake for a long time, He Tao slowly opened his eyelids, his vision changed from cloudy to clear, and he heard someone next to him breathe a long sigh of relief and heard someone talking.

"Your Highness, although the prince is seriously injured, fortunately he has not injured his viscera, and he has no worries about his life.

He didn't die under He Ye's flying knife?

He Tao smiled miserably, slowly moved his palm, looked around, he felt that he was still lying on the soft brocade, and he could see clearly the furnishings in the house, it was still the sleeping room of the Xijin Palace, and it was definitely not a prison to death.

What could be more bizarre? With so many people witnessing his father's murder and retrograde, can they still be safe? Still enjoying the honor of the prince of the county?

He Tao couldn't help but pull up an extremely sarcastic smile.

A servant girl stepped forward to help him sit up, and carefully fed the decoction, he endured the severe pain, and pushed away the unknown maid, and looked directly at his father, the face full of dark clouds, he smiled again, and laughed very happily, and even the pain of the wound was reduced a little.

Yoshikawa looked at his son's smiling face, and the clenched fists behind him couldn't help but tremble, but he still suppressed the anger that was almost gushing out, and he stood a few steps away, staring at He Tao, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.

"What did He Qi promise you? He colluded with Zhou Chang, secretly let the assassins enter the Forbidden Garden, and let him be in the same party, instigating the Holy Lord to disperse the guards, only bringing ten thousand Niu Guards, and competing with everyone to see the hunting results to be fair, He Qi expected that the Holy Lord was eager to win, and also expected that because I was in the Forbidden Garden, I would not expect that there would be danger, so as not to refute the Holy Will, and then let you introduce the Holy Lord into the assassin's ambush...... He even instructed you to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate me and the Holy One. ”

He Tao was still smiling, as if he thought Yoshikawa's words were very interesting.

"If you succeed, what will you get? Glory and wealth, power leaning towards the government and the opposition? Can you think that even if you succeed and He Qi's plan succeeds, what will happen to me and the Holy Lord who are killed in the Forbidden Garden? Your act of killing your father and killing the monarch will inevitably be made public, despised by the world, there will be no glory and wealth, power leans towards the government and the opposition, you can only be a capital crime, and you will be treated as a traitor by He Qi, and you will be punished by the Ming canon, you are just a stepping stone, and he will give it up without hesitation. ”

The more Yoshikawa spoke, the more annoyed he became, and he hated He Tao's stupidity: "Have you ever thought that He Qi's plan is impossible to succeed, if the Queen Mother can really calculate so easily, she will not get her current status step by step!" ”

He Tao finally laughed, and Yoshikawa's anger really made him feel happy.

"Of course I thought of it, but so what?" His injuries were really heavy, and he was out of breath when he spoke, and he couldn't be as full of breath as Yichuan, but he didn't care at all, gasped for a while, and said for a while: "If He Qi's plan succeeds, Wei Haichi's poisonous woman will naturally not die well, and Wei Lianchi will not die well, and I will also avenge the killing of my mother, even if He Qi's plan fails, at least I can kill you!" ”

If you want to talk about chagrin, He Tao does feel annoyed.

Because he obviously had the opportunity to assassinate He Er, but at the moment of his move, he hesitated.

He remembered the extremely adoring gaze of He Er when he shot the roe deer, and the childish innocence when he shook his arm and begged "Brother Teach me to ride and shoot", although He Er was born to Little Wei, but he was still a child, and he had no ill will towards him, and he did not even take precautions.

It was that moment of hesitation, He Ye arrived, and he never had a chance to start.

But his most important purpose was not against He Er.

"Father, the one who killed my biological mother, in addition to the Wei sisters, I know that there are you, I know what you are planning in secret, I know why you are angry at this time, do you want to say that if I hadn't dug my own grave, I would have been prosperous and powerful in the future? But you never knew me. ”

He Tao stared at Yi Chuan fiercely, and his smile became colder and colder: "You never know how much I hate you, I waited so many years before I got the opportunity to eradicate you and the Wei sisters together, even if I knew that He Qi was using me, so what?" I only hated me for not seizing this opportunity, and in the end, I still have the kindness of a woman. ”

He should have been discouraged, but at this time, he didn't feel much regret, he looked at Yoshikawa's defeated and angry face, and smiled more and more like a satisfied child: "I was involved in a major conspiracy case, although I deserve death, I am afraid that Webster will be suspicious of his father at this point, father, how do you feel when the things that have been planned for many years fail?" ”

Yoshikawa couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and slapped He Tao in the face heavily, watching him fall crookedly on the bed by this palm, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, Yoshikawa took a deep breath, and then he was able to sneer: "Do you think Webster has always been defenseless against me?" He Tao, you are still too naïve, no wonder you will be defeated, Webster has never trusted me, never before, and never will be, it has nothing to do with whether you participate in the rebellion, you do this...... You can't hurt me in the slightest, you can only bring about your own destruction! I might as well tell you that your biological mother was indeed killed by me, but you will never have the opportunity to avenge her blood hatred, and if your biological mother had known about it, she would also be saddened by your self-destruction, and she will never be comforted, it is you who have extinguished her last hope in this world. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at He Tao anymore, and turned to leave.

On the sixth day of the seventh month of the third year of Chengde, the king of Ruyang plotted rebellion and failed, and this historical fact was recorded in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was called the change of Fengtaimen.

In mid-July, the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager returned to Chang'an, the capital of the country, and the vigorous liquidation operation began.

Naturally, none of the party of the king of Ruyang has slipped through the net, and many princes of the clan have been implicated, and the political hall headed by Wei Yuanping has folded and admonished, and urged the queen mother to severely punish a rebellious offender, and sentence the family to exterminate the family regardless of the master and slave.

The king of Nanyang unexpectedly wrote a letter to plead for mercy, begging the queen mother to be lenient.

The Queen Mother saw the King of Nanyang, and I don't know what she talked about with this Zong Zhengqing, so the King of Nanyang went to the Yichuan Palace that day.

The two auxiliary kings of Zongzhengtang talked almost all night, and after the king of Nanyang said goodbye and left, the king of Yoshikawa convened his ministers to discuss.

"What, the king actually wants to write a letter to abolish the Zongzheng Hall for the sake of Bao Shizi?" The advisers of the king of Yoshikawa were full of shock, and they knelt on the ground with a brush.

There are upright people who can't help but feel indignant: "Although Shizi Tao is the eldest son of the king, he was bewitched by others and committed the evil act of killing his father, how can he have any filial piety to the king?" The king must not raise a tiger because of the kindness of a woman, and he should not lose the right to assist the government in order to protect the rebellious son! ”

In fact, how can Yoshikawa have the kindness of a woman? Although he was very protective of He Tao in the past, and even connived at He Tao's occasional willfulness, he could never tolerate He Tao's crime of killing his father, in his eyes, He Tao was no different from a dead man.

"Several ministers of great power wrote a letter to admonish, demanding that the clan be severely punished with a heavy punishment of the rebellion against He Qi, the women and children are not pardoned, but Zong Zhengqing can't bear to see the nephew surnamed He widely implicated and killed, and implore the Queen Mother to be extrajudicial and merciful, punish the first offender and the rebellion, and forgive innocent women and children, according to the King of Nanyang, the Queen Mother is also unbearable, but there are hints, saying that the reason why He Qi gradually has the evil of rebellion is because of the power of the auxiliary government and the ambition is growing, and the Queen Mother intends to take advantage of this accident to abolish the dictatorship of Zongzheng Hall It is obvious, and the King of Nanyang persuaded me to write with him."

Yichuan frowned slightly: "If this king is not interested, the queen mother is only afraid that there will be a queen, and now that the situation is like this, Zongzheng Hall must be abolished, as for He Tao's rebel son...... I protected him, not for the sake of father-son love, but to mislead Empress Dowager Wei, so that she thought that I really defended He Tao, and even did not hesitate to give up the right to assist him for him, she thought that He Tao was my weakness, and she would ...... in the future Who knows if the opportunity will be lost because of this wrong judgment at the critical moment. ”

At this point, Yichuan has fully understood that Wei Haichi has clearly set up a trap, waiting for He Qi, an arrogant man, to enter the urn, but the uprooting of He Qi's party is only one of Wei Haichi's purposes, she calculated that it is impossible for the king of Nanyang, the Zongqing, to watch many clans being sat down, and she will inevitably ask for leniency, she can promise extrajudicial mercy, the premise is that the king of Nanyang must take the initiative to write a letter, abolish the Zongzheng Hall, and officially return the power to her control.

As for himself, maybe Wei Haichi had the calculation of killing two birds with one stone at first, and wanted to use He Qi's hand to eradicate himself together.

Unexpectedly, this time he was disrupted by He Ye.

Yoshikawa understands that he has escaped death this time, but it is impossible for him to confront Wei Haichi, he still needs time to expand his power, he has to wait for the young emperor to grow up, wait for Wei Haichi to hold the power alone and do whatever he wants, and wait for more and more people to support the pro-government of the Son of Heaven, and at that time, it is time to compete with Wei Haichi.

But this kind of forbearance, to put it bluntly, is also because of helpless compromise, Yichuan thought of He Qi's fate, and was almost uprooted by Wei Haichi's silence, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Even if you have to back down, you can't do nothing, at least you can't completely quit politics and be an idle county king.

But how can he win the opportunity to preserve his strength?
