Chapter 182: Childe Su
Su Mu smiled slightly and said: "I am actually here to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clear his name, His Royal Highness the Prince's mutiny is actually the result of being manipulated behind the scenes, and some of these things involve the big people in the court......"
Ding Sheng waved his hand again and again to interrupt Su Mu's words, and said: "Chivalry, this official understands, you don't have to be much, you go and persuade His Royal Highness the Prince, let him go back and admit his mistake to His Majesty, after all, he is his closest relatives and his grandson, I don't think Your Majesty will take the prince well!" ”
When Su Mu heard this, he laughed secretly, this old fox was very cautious, and he didn't want to hear what he shouldn't know, so he arched his hand and said, "Then I will go to the city to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to surrender." ”
Ding Sheng said: "Okay! Good! Chivalrous Gaoyi, what conditions do you need, just mention it to this official. ”
Su Mu said confidently: "No need, I am enough for this matter alone." Then he turned and departed.
Ding Sheng sent each other all the way, and the two came to the gate of Huai'an County, and saw Su Mu come to the city with one person and one horse, and he didn't know what he did to the people in the city, so he saw the city gate slowly open and let Su Mu enter the city......
At this time, Zhou Jian, the commander of the Tun Cavalry, saw this, rode his horse to Ding Sheng's side, and asked, "Lord Ding, who is this?" ”
Ding Sheng said meaningfully: "A chivalrous warrior with a high wind and bright festival recommended himself to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to surrender. ”
Zhou Jian suddenly understood, since someone took the initiative to carry the pot, then we can only pray that he will retire.
Ding Sheng looked at Huai'an County, and he didn't know what he was thinking......
At this time, in Huai'an City, in the county mansion, the high-spirited Prince His Royal Highness was already full of blood, and he couldn't sleep for several nights, and these cronies who followed him fled one by one, leaving Qin Shao, Guo Huan and a few others to accompany him all the way, if it weren't for the hundreds of dead soldiers under Guo Huan's command to escort him all the way, he would not have escaped here......
The prince avoided everyone in private, drew his sword tremblingly, thought about it a lot, he didn't want to be on the run, he simply left it all at that, but after half a hesitation, he still couldn't make up his mind to commit suicide, he had read so many articles of the ancient sages who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, but it was really his turn, but he was never able to face the fear of death and the strong desire for life, remembering that when he first became the prince, the infinite scenery, but now, somehow, mixed into the field like now......
At this time, the guards outside the county government came to spread the word, there was a ranger named Su Mu outside the city who wanted to see the prince, it was able to help the prince get out of danger, the prince smiled bitterly when he heard the words, he knew that he was already in a desperate situation, and he could not be turbulent.
The prince glanced at the sword in his hand, and since he didn't have the courage to commit suicide, he had to summon someone to see what else he could conjure.
The prince returned to the county hall with his exhausted body and waited to provoke the door.
I saw that the person who came was wearing a mask, entered the lobby and saluted the prince: "Caomin Sumu, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
The prince looked at him and asked, "Please sit down this knight, what is the matter with you?" ”
Su Mu took off his mask and asked, "After so many years, His Royal Highness the Prince, do you still know me?" ”
When the prince saw Lairao's true face, he was stunned on the spot, and then pointed at him tremblingly: "It's you, weren't you sent to the frontier?" How did you come here? ”
At this time, Qin Shao and Liu Yu in the lobby also looked at each other, not knowing what the identity of the person who came, which actually made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so panicked......
Su Mu said: "Fourth brother, after so many years, I didn't expect you to have today?" Originally, I wanted to intercept and kill you on the road with hundreds of dead soldiers to avenge my third brother Gongzi Kang, but I didn't expect that you would also fall into such a field now, hahaha, retribution! ”
When Qin Shao heard this, he immediately called dozens of dead soldiers to surround him, drew his sword and pointed at him: "It turns out that you are Su Gongzi?" ”
Childe Su admitted calmly: "It's me!" ”
The prince waved his hand to let the dead man retreat, sighed and said, "So you came to see my joke today?" ”
Gongzi Su Hao put his hands behind his back and said: "It's okay, seeing you fall into such a field now, to be honest, I don't think I need to take revenge, now you also know what it's like to fall from the clouds to the mortal dust, right?" Hahaha......"
The prince stared at him hatefully and said, "Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now." ”
Gongzi Su said indifferently: "I believe it, of course I believe it, when you attacked the third brother in order to compete for the storage position, I knew that you could do everything, the funny thing is that I used to respect you very much, I really never expected that you were also a wolf in human skin." ”
The prince smiled coldly and said, "Even Gongzi Kang, a useless fat pig, dare to compete with me for the storage position?" I don't weigh my own pounds, since the fat pig doesn't know how to advance or retreat, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
When Gongzi Su heard this, his eyes widened angrily and said: "He is also your third brother, he is also your brother, you are a fat pig, can't you respect the deceased a little?" ”
The prince smiled and said, "Respect? How can I be respectful? A fat pig that can't even get on a horse? Do you deserve my respect? ”
Gongzi Su was so angry that he pulled out his sword and wanted to step forward to kill the scumbag in front of him, but the dead soldiers around him rushed up and held him down before he could make a move.
Gongzi Su roared angrily: "You wolf-hearted thing, is there a brother like you?" ”
The prince said: "Fifth brother! The name of the fat pig is not mine, but Your Majesty and his old family every time they mention Gongzi Kang, that's it, do you understand? ”
When Gongzi Su heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then laughed miserably: "I understand, Your Majesty also has a share in making the third brother so miserable." ”
The crown prince bowed his head and said: "That's right, eldest brother, the second brother died early, Gongzi Kang wanted to fight for the position of the prince with the ancestral family law of establishing a successor, but he didn't want to think about it, what image is he in the eyes of His Majesty?" His Majesty's martial arts and martial arts swept away Liuhe, how could he give the seat to someone like him? ”
"Your Majesty once told me privately that Gongzi Kang has no human state, and he is the prince, for the sake of laughter, I have passed on the country for more than 800 years, and I have established the country by force, but Gongzi Kang can't even get on the horse, how can this make Your Majesty not feel disgusted, but Gongzi Kang, who still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, has repeatedly connected with the courtiers in an attempt to seize the position of the prince, so His Majesty wants to abolish him."
Gongzi Su struggled to stand up, but the prince saw that there was no murder in his eyes, so he waved his hand to let the dead man retreat.
Gongzi Su stood up, sighed, and said in a depressed tone: "I understand, I actually know Your Majesty's mind for a long time, he wants to make you the prince, but it is hindered by the ancestral family law of the eldest brother, and it is not good to bypass the third brother to make you the prince, Your Majesty has not given a chance, several times hinted that Gongzi Kang withdrew from the battle for the throne, and I once persuaded the third brother to withdraw from the battle for the position of the prince, but he didn't listen, and felt that he was standing up for the throne and justifying it." ”
"Hey! If he had listened to my advice at the beginning, why did he have to make such a fuss, now that he thinks about it, this is all fate! But what makes me angry is that even if you do it, some of the excuses are that it is good to demote the third brother to a concubine, there is really no need to make him like that, you know that I am a fellow brother with the third brother, and I am close to each other, which makes me really resentful......"
The prince sighed: "No way, there were many ministers who supported Gongzi Kang in the court at the beginning, but to be fair, Gongzi Kang is still relatively decent, and he is also very deferential to His Majesty, there is nothing to catch in braids, but his talent is too mediocre to take on the big responsibility, His Majesty wants to get rid of him publicly, and it is not even easy to find a reason." ”
"If Gongzi Kang is directly demoted to a concubine, I am afraid that the ministers of the DPRK will not accept it, and in the end they can only make this decision and make Gongzi Kang crazy, so that the courtiers will have no excuse, and Jiangshan Sheji can't be handed over to a madman, right? Actually, I know that you are here not only for Gongzi Kang, but also for yourself, right? ”
Gongzi Su pointed at the prince angrily and said, "Yes! You're good, I'm not just for Gongzi Kang, but also for myself, you just mess with him, why are you involved with me? I didn't think about competing for the throne, so why should I suffer from this unwarranted disaster? Do you know what kind of life I've lived in the past ten years? ”
"I guarded the frontier in the most remote and bitter cold place of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I guarded it for so many years, and the other soldiers guarded it every three years at most, and then went home, what about me? Tattooing, waiting for the sinful body, this guard is a full eighteen years, do you know how I survived? And my wife, Yu'er, was just pregnant, so I had to be exiled to the borderlands, and I heard that the child died at birth, and she later remarried. ”
"It's because of the battle between you for the storage position that I'm where I am now, you know? In the past ten years, I have been thinking about how to remove you from the position of prince, or kill you, and I can't wait to crush you to ashes......"
After that, Gongzi Su stared at him hatefully.
When the prince heard this, he simply spread it out: "Fifth brother, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, the reason why I wanted to get you in the first place was because you had the best relationship with Gongzikang, I was afraid that I would sit on the throne of the prince, and you had a grudge against me, so I could only exile you to the borderland, it was better to die there, and never come back......"
When Gongzi Su heard this, his red eyes trembled, and he pointed at the prince and said, "How can I have a brother like you." ”
The prince smiled indifferently, pulled out his sword and handed it to Gongzi Su, then pointed the tip of the sword at his heart, and said, "What's the point of all this now?" Fifth brother, it was I who killed your family, and it was also me who plotted that Gongzi Kang became a fool, if you want to take revenge, take revenge! I'm right in front of you, and I'm going to kill or chop up, and I'm going to listen to you. ”
At this time, Qin Shao, Guo Huan, Liu Yu and others drew their swords and shouted around: "Young Master Su, you must not hurt His Royal Highness the Prince......
The prince looked back and drank them away: "This is a personal grudge between me and my fifth brother, you must not interfere, if Gongzi Su does it, don't stop it, after I die, you must not hurt his life." ”
Seeing that everyone was still holding swords around Gongzi Su, the prince said angrily: "You still recognize me as the prince, and put away your swords, this is not to persuade you, this is an order." ”
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to put away their swords and retreat.
The prince said to Gongzi Su: "Fifth brother, let's do it, I know that you are killing me with the intention of death, and it is also my honor to die under your sword." ”
Gongzi Su held the sword, threw the sword aside with a long laugh, and said: "Fourth brother, I'm already over, I won't do it, I'm afraid of dirty my hands, you look like this now, you still need me to do it?" Someone will send you on your way, hahaha......"
When the prince heard this, his face was like ashes, and he sat down on the ground without saying a word, and he looked up at the saber that had fallen to the ground, and suddenly mustered up his courage, picked up the saber, and wanted to draw his sword and kill himself......
