Chapter 609: Struggle
"Hmph, that's a good thing to say, you are now righteously criticizing my political achievements here, but it's just because you want to cover up your ambitions, and when you take the position, I'm afraid that I will be more jealous than me, Gu Shaoyu can help me to take the position, turn around and take refuge in you, if there is a candidate he thinks is more suitable in the future, I'm afraid that he will be more decisive than today!"
"Just wait! Hahaha, but a puppet, it won't take long to see his true face! ”
The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became, and when he pointed at Gu Shaoyu in the back, he shouted.
"I see! What is the prince of the king, what Prince Rong, what is the abdication edict, it is nothing more than to create an internal struggle between our Xie family, and when the time comes, he will come back and enjoy the success, and the world will be surnamed Gu! ”
For a moment, some pity flashed in Gu Shaoyu's eyes.
Once he also thought that with the help of Guo Xiang, the emperor in front of him could make some political achievements, so it would not be in vain for him to go back and forth and guard.
But now, the modest and cautious prince who knows how to repay the favor has long been a thing of the past, and what stands in front of him is just a madman who has long lost his normal thoughts due to the erosion of imperial power, so he doesn't want to talk any more nonsense.
Turning to Shizi, he asked.
"Since Your Majesty refuses to write an abdication edict, then the prince decides."
Hearing this, the prince did not drag the mud and water, nodded, looked at the emperor with compassion in his eyes and said.
"Jia Guifei poisoned His Majesty today, the crime deserves death, the Dingping Marquis Mansion is a rebel, fortunately, it was discovered by General Gu in time, and it has all been released, and all the cadres of the Jia family are in prison, waiting to be dealt with!"
"Yes!"
When he heard these words, the emperor gradually sobered up from the crazy laughter just now, and looked at the condescending two people in front of him, and his heart was quite lonely.
"At the beginning, we forced my father to abdicate like this, and now it's my turn, hehe, I just open my eyes underground and see how long you can sit still?"
The prince glanced at the emperor, didn't say anything, put on the black cloak and left the palace.
As soon as he left, Gu Shaoyu naturally wanted to leave, but what the emperor didn't expect was that it would be Gonggong Liu who came in, he was still humble and low-key, but the seven or eight little eunuchs behind him didn't look like they were easy to mess with.
"The old slave has come to see Your Majesty off, I hope Your Majesty can ascend to Bliss as soon as possible."
"It's you, an old slave! I'm really blind, my father was killed by you in the first place! And now you're going to harm me again? ”
Gonggong Liu was as calm as ever, he was not moved at all when he heard these words, and there was an unfathomable faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he said.
"Your Majesty is too elevated to the old slave, the old slave is just a eunuch who acts on orders, how can he kill His Majesty the Emperor, who holds the power of the world?"
"Who are you? Is it the Guo family? Or is it the Gu family? ”
"The old slave has always been a member of the Daxing Dynasty, there is no doubt about it."
Gonggong Liu didn't answer the emperor's question positively, but he didn't want to say more, so he waved the dust and said.
"Send our majesty on your way."
"Yes, father-in-law."
After that, a few little eunuchs walked over, and their movements were very neat, pressing their hands and pressing their feet, even if the emperor struggled hard, he was still poured poisoned wine in the end.
The wine pierced through his bowels, and soon he rolled in pain.
Gonggong Liu quietly looked at the emperor's miserable state now, without the slightest guilt and nervousness, until the struggling emperor in front of him gradually regained his calm, and the little eunuch stepped forward to turn him over.
His lips were purple, his seven orifices were bleeding, and he died a miserable death.
"Go, tell General Gu that Your Majesty has died, and everything that should be disposed of has been disposed of."
"Yes, father-in-law."
The snow fell all night, and when the sky was a little cloudy, the news of the deaths of the emperor, Jia Guifei, imperial concubine and the seventh prince came out one after another, causing shocks in the previous dynasty and the harem.
In the Changchun Palace, Queen Yan sat quietly all night.
They had already been blocked by Gu Shaoyu's orders, and they couldn't go in and out, so she didn't know what was going on outside, and now when she heard the news, she was surprised and excited.
"Your Majesty is dead, the imperial concubine and the seventh prince are also dead, and there is no one to compete with my son for the throne in this world! Hahahaha, this palace has finally come out! ”
She was not sad at all about the emperor's death, and the years of husband and wife friendship had long since disappeared, if there was still a trace of friendship, it was for the sake of her son's reputation, and she would definitely handle this national funeral matter well.
"Come on, you go and tell your father, the momentum outside can be arranged, and now that His Majesty is dead, there is no holy decree, and Prince Rong of this palace is both a grandson and a long, and he should inherit the unification! By the way, quickly recall the third brother back to Beijing, with him, the palace can rest assured! ”
"Niangniang, where is General Gu ......?"
"General Gu has worked hard and made great achievements, so he naturally wants to be knighted, but it's not a good thing to rely on him too much, after all, this person is ruthless, and the Changchun Palace of this palace is also said to be sealed, if it is too powerful in the future, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the imperial power."
Queen Yan sat in the dormitory and thought about everything.
But she didn't expect that the other princes outside the palace were now "forced" to hand over their rights and quietly wait for disposal.
Prince Rong's Palace.
When Prince Rong saw that the people who came were the prince of Xuanzhou and Gu Shaoyu, he already knew in his heart that he was not as crazy as the emperor, nor as whimsical as Empress Yan, but the whole person seemed very calm.
Just looked at Gu Shaoyu silently and said softly.
"What is the reason why General Gu didn't choose this king?"
He thinks that he also puts the people in his heart, although he is not very old, but he is also a person who is trying to make political achievements, he has imagined many things, especially after he ascends the throne, how he will greatly change the style of government and bring Daxing to a more complete and better situation.
But now, the appearance of the two of them basically announced the end of his life, so before he died, he wanted to ask clearly why Gu Shaoyu would rather choose the prince of King Jue and be charged with rebellion, rather than directly assist him, the justifiable Prince Rong, to ascend the throne!
Gu Shaoyu took a step forward, and replied with a clear and firm look in his eyes.
"Prince Rong is benevolent, which is naturally a good thing, but you can't even protect your own children and sons, so what can you talk about protecting the people?"
In a word, Prince Rong was completely hopeless.
Yes, his only child, the child who had the opportunity to see everything in this world, died just when he was born, and he couldn't even find out who the murderer was, what else to talk about? (End of chapter)
