Chapter 296: Killing the King (2)
The young eunuch stared at Xu Wenliang, and Xu Wenliang stared at him without showing weakness.
After a while, the young eunuch sneered: "Lord Xu, what you said is right, we are plotting to kill the emperor, so what? Didn't the current emperor also use the same means to kill the former emperor? We are just treating others in the same way." Why did Lord Xu have to be so angry? You know, it hurts your body, haha!"
It seems that Xiao Rongshen will never let the emperor live. Xu Wenliang's face suddenly turned blue and white for a while, his son murdered Lao Tzu, this kind of thing happened in the walls of the royal palace, it is not surprising. But from the perspective of ethics, Xu Wenliang is still a little unacceptable. He has followed the emperor for decades, and the winds and waves have passed, but he never expected that the emperor would capsize in the small gutter.
"Your Majesty! Xiao Rongshen, you dare to murder the emperor! You are guilty of great crimes!"
The young eunuch raised his hand and slapped Xu Wenliang in the face, with a crisp sound, which stunned everyone present. They all looked at him stunned. The young eunuch lowered his face coldly and said: "You are just a eunuch, the first dog by the emperor's side, and you dare to call the name of the prince?
If something happens to the emperor, Xu Wenliang, the chief eunuch, will be able to do it, without his master, without a way out, his life is also in danger, and he has been put to death, so he has nothing to fear. Xu Wenliang suddenly struggled, pounced on the young eunuch, and tore off half of the young eunuch's ears in one bite. The young eunuch covered his bare right cheek, crying wolf in pain.
Xu Wenliang spit out that ear, spat a mouthful of blood, and scolded: "Dog mongrel, go back and tell your master Xiao Rongshen, if you have a kind, you will kill my grandfather and me, and Lao Tzu will not let him go if he is a ghost!"
"Take him down for me, take it down!" the young eunuch shouted with grinned teeth and standing up in pain.
Xu Wenliang laughed loudly: "Xiao Rongshen, you bastard bastard, you kill your father and kill the king, you will never end well!"
"Beat, beat me hard!" The young eunuch pointed at Xu Wenliang: "He dares to slander the prince, he must not let him go!"
The master is suppressing the other party from his eyes and temperament all the time. Xiao Rongshen's subordinates also knew Xu Wenliang's skills, and they were a little scared when they looked at the bloody ears on the ground. In fact, if someone took the lead, Xu Wenliang would be beaten, but the embarrassment was embarrassing here, and after a stalemate for a long time, no one had the courage to rush forward.
Xu Wenliang is fearless, the emperor is his master, and now that the emperor has an accident, he deserves to die to repay the emperor's kindness, but the country is in the hands of rebellious ministers and thieves, and he is unwilling.
Xu Wenliang struggled, raised his head, the moon hid in the clouds, and the black clouds pressed the city. Emperor...... Xu Wenliang lowered his head and let out a hysterical howl.
The young eunuch covered his face and looked at him playfully: "Lord Xu, I only knew that you were a dog raised by the emperor in the past, but I didn't expect you to really bite people." ”
Xu Wenliang didn't care how others insulted him, his heart was all his master, the current emperor. Thinking of the emperor, Xu Wenliang's mind unconsciously appeared the picture of how Xiao Rongshen bullied the emperor, and his heart hurt a little when he thought about it.
Prince, if father and son are connected, you should hurry back to Beijing. Xu Wenliang gave up resistance and let Xiao Rongshen's men lock him up in the empty room at first sight.
The emperor's body had been wiped clean by the inner guards and laid flat on the dragon bed. The two ministers on duty at night hurriedly came, and suddenly saw the emperor's corpse, and couldn't help but feel sad and wept bitterly. The two ministers cried for a while, and when they looked up and saw Xiao Rongshen with a cold face, the sadness in their hearts gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an inexplicable fear.
"And the prince, how could the emperor suddenly die?"
Xiao Rongshen raised his eyes and looked at the two old ministers in front of him who were still wiping his tears, and said sharply: "The great eunuch Xu Wenliang teamed up with the prince to plot to usurp the throne. Xu Wenliang added poison to the emperor's tea, poisoned his father, and his father sent a message on his deathbed to ask the king to temporarily act as the governor of the country. and granted the king the right of arbitrariness to prevent the prince from gathering troops and rebelling. ”
The two old ministers glanced at each other, these words are really unconvincing, what kind of emotions are between the emperor and the prince, others don't know, the two of them couldn't be clearer. The emperor's favorite is the crown prince Xiao Rongzhan, and this country was originally reserved for the prince. The prince is crazy, so he is in a hurry to get his hands on the country.
Besides, Xu Wenliang, who was the emperor's house slave when he was in the palace, followed the emperor to fight with horses since he was a child, although he was a eunuch, he was arrogant and loyal. In his life, he only obeys one person, and that is the emperor. To say that he colluded with the crown prince is pure nonsense.
Seeing that the two old ministers didn't believe it, Xiao Rongshen's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"According to the old minister's opinion, at this time, the six palaces should be informed, and the queen mother should be asked to preside over the overall situation, and then send someone to Guiyunzhou to invite the prince back. ”
Gao Bingyan frowned, he is the prime minister of this great Chu, these two old things actually bypassed him as the pillar of the country when they divided power, they couldn't have taken him Gao Bingyan too seriously, right?
Gao Bingyan sneered: "The two adults are old, and they are dazzled, presumably you didn't hear what the prince said just now, the crown prince and the great eunuch Xu Wenliang conspired to poison the emperor." What qualifications does the crown prince who killed the king and usurped the throne have to ascend to the throne?"
The two old ministers pursed their lips and said sarcastically: "Then in the opinion of Gao Xiangguo, only Prince He can ascend the throne and become emperor?"
"Hmph, don't forget, the inheritance of the throne of Great Chu has always been the first and then the elder, even if the crown prince does not ascend the throne, the emperor's son-in-law still has six princes, and they are ranked according to seniority, and it will not be the turn of the prince, right?"
Xiao Rongshen's lips twitched violently, these two old things really don't know whether to live or die. Dare to rely on the old man and sell the old man to himself? Look at them, they really don't know the three eyes of the prince Ma. Do you want to force him to kill the sixth child together? Xiao Rongshen snorted lightly, it seems that it is not difficult to kill the sixth child now.
"Listen to the meaning of the two adults, are you suspicious of this king?"
The two old ministers arched their hands and said duplicitously: "The ministers don't dare." ”
Xiao Rongshen raised his hand, held a piece of the emperor's Nine Dragons National Seal in his palm, and said, "Two adults, what do you look at?"
"The Emperor's Nine Dragons State Seal. The two ministers said in unison.
Xiao Rongshen said with a smile: "Before my father died, he entrusted the national seal to this king, and asked this king to avenge him and kill the rebellious ministers and thieves who killed his father and usurped the throne. The two adults acted according to etiquette, which was fine, but they couldn't be too pedantic, otherwise they would favor the sinners of Da Chu. Xiao Rongshen raised his hand: "Someone! The two adults are tired, send the two adults back." ”
"Eh, and the prince, and the prince!" Before the two old ministers finished speaking, they were set up by the armor of one left and one right, and sent out of the palace gate.
Gao Bingyan glanced coldly at the door and said, "Your Highness, it's better to get rid of these two old things as soon as possible, so as not to let them go out and talk nonsense." People are terrible, and they must not spoil big things in the details. ”
Xiao Rongshen lowered his eyelids slightly, Gao Bingyan understood, and gave the soldiers around him a look.
The bell of the early dynasty rang as usual, but the person who should have appeared on the dragon chair of the Qinzheng Hall was gone. Gao Bingyan heard the bell, and he was a little excited in his heart, he thought that it would be difficult to force the palace to usurp the throne, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, it seems that he still underestimated his little master.
"Your Highness, it's already the time of the early dynasty, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting in the palace, ...... you"
Xiao Rongshen sighed and laughed at himself: "In the past, I fantasized about being able to sit on the dragon chair every day, but now that I have it at my fingertips, I am suddenly a little afraid. ”
Gao Bingyan paused for a moment: "What else is there to worry about, Your Highness? The sixth master has been imprisoned in the palace, and the harem has also been sealed, and now the capital is also under the control of the fourth master, and the third master and the fifth master are cowardly on the wall, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Xiao Rongshen licked his lips: "You said that if the second child led the troops back from Guiyunzhou......
Gao Bingyan said with a smile: "Your Highness, the fourth master has been operating in Guiyunzhou for so many years, even if the prince wants to lead the troops back to the capital, the forces of Guiyunzhou will not agree." ”
"That's good. Xiao Rongshen took a long breath: "Is there anything going on in the capital?"
Gao Bingyan shook his head: "No." ”
"Then let's go to court?" Xiao Rongshen asked.
"Upper court. Gao Bingyan replied firmly.
Xiao Rong took away the sleepiness of a sleepless night, dressed properly, squeezed out a few tears, and made a loyal and filial son. He walked a few steps and suddenly stopped: "Gao Xiang, we forgot one thing." ”
"What did Your Majesty forget?" asked Gao Bingyan.
"Your Majesty?" Xiao Rongshen frowned, although he had been looking forward to this title for half his life, but when someone suddenly called him like this, he was still not very used to it.
"Your Majesty. Gao Bingyan said firmly again.
Okay, Your Majesty, I'm Your Majesty. Xiao Rongshen silently read it a few times in his heart, from today on, he is the emperor of this Great Chu, and the dragon chair of Great Chu only belongs to him and must belong to him!
Xiao Rong hooked the corners of his lips deeply, and couldn't help but let out a sneer, Wei Yuanxi, do you think that if you grab an eyeliner and send it to Dali Temple, you will be able to turn the tables around? This game is not over yet, and this king has not gone all out.
"What did Your Majesty forget?" Gao Bingyan asked again.
Xiao Rongshen lowered his eyelids slightly: "It's the Wei family, we only care about blocking the news, but we forget about the Wei family." ”
Gao Bingyan shuddered suddenly, the Wei family was born in a businessman, and there were hundreds of caravans, lingering in various roads, prefectures and counties in Dachu. As long as Wei Dongshu gets some rumors, there will be no news that the Wei family can't pass on.
The most important thing at the moment is to let Prince He ascend to the throne smoothly, and only when he sits firmly on the dragon chair can everything be logical. Therefore, at this moment, the news of the emperor's death must not be leaked. If the crown prince raised troops and went north...... Although the people of the four princes will carry it for them, no one dares to guarantee victory in the war, and it is best not to happen.
"What Your Majesty said is that the old minister will lead people to surround the Wei Mansion. ”
