Chapter 6 The Prince of the Former Dynasty
Peng Huai saw Xu Qing's dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Xu Shaoxia doesn't know how old and decayed?" Xu Qing said: "Old Peng, why are you here?" Peng Huai said: "Xu Shaoxia, everything you want to hear next, I hope you don't want to say that you know it with outsiders, this matter is a top secret, and the stakes are very important, and I hope that Shaoxia will think twice."
It's still a long night, there's a futon there, how about you and I sit down and talk?"
Xu Qing was drenched, but he didn't realize it at all, and when he saw Peng Huai standing in front of him at this time, he even opened his mouth to call the black-clothed guest who brought him here.
It seems that his identity is extraordinary, and Xu Qing, who is eager to find out the truth, sits on the Putuan and keeps his eyes on Peng Huai.
Peng Huai sat opposite him and said: "Xu Shaoxia, you are anxious to find out, the old man will tell you, you can be relaxed, don't be nervous, this is a long story, why don't you tell you a story?"
Xu Qing wanted to stop it, but he felt that it was useless, but he wanted to see what tricks this sanctimonious Peng Huai was going to play.
Peng Huai pondered for a while, and said: "Can the young man know how the throne of the saint was obtained today?" Xu Qing said: "Naturally, it was obtained by the first emperor, could it be that there is a hidden secret in this?"
Xu Qing suddenly thought of the two blue-skinned books he had seen in the secret cave of Ye Yunhou Mountain, which told the origin of the Seven Swords of Stopping Death, so he mentioned Jianyang Hou Zhao Sheng, so he replied: "I know." Peng Huai said: "Do you know? There are still people in this world who will know about the existence of Jian Yang Hou?" Xu Qing said: "A few months ago, I got a book about Jian Yang Hou's life and deeds. Peng Huai said: "I see, you know it in the secret cave." Xu Qing was very different, and hurriedly said: "How do you know?" Peng Huai said: "Shaoxia don't be impatient, or listen to me slowly, what you know should be that Jianyang Hou fought on the battlefield with the first emperor and made immortal feats, but later resigned and retired, and finally returned to the countryside, not asking about the world, and now Jianyang Hou's life and death, the world does not know."
However, the name of Jianyanghou has long been erased, and after the first emperor created the prosperous era of the Great Liang, he removed Jianyanghou from military power and demoted him to an eight-rank officer.
Later, an earth-shattering event happened, the world thought that the first emperor gave the throne to his brother Xiao Huan, but in fact, it was the king Xiao Huan who gathered the army of Celin City at night to kill the palace, plundered the first emperor to the deep palace, and then secretly executed. ”
Xu Qing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "These skillful nonsense you said, everyone in the world says that Xiao Huan, the king of Jun, has a deep relationship with the first emperor, and the two have hunted mountains and forests together, traveled the world, and talked and laughed, all of which were seen by the common people with their own eyes, and I listened to my father and me." Peng Huai said: "This is the trick of today's Emperor Liang, before forcing the palace to rebel, he proposed to make a private visit with the first emperor and travel to the south of the Yangtze River, so that people in the world think that the prince who is loyal to the king and his brother like him will never become a rebellious and rebellious person in the future."
Our Emperor Liang can be said to have exhausted all the organs, what a king who has taken the throne!"
Xu Qing still doesn't believe it, with his hard reading of the sages since he was a child, he learned that the Liang Dynasty was an enlightened and prosperous era, and the masters in the palace city have been exposed to it, like Peng Huai, so his concept of loyalty and patriotism since childhood will be destroyed.
just sneered and said: "Elder Peng, you can't slander our current saint like this because you were victimized by traitors, the court has indeed ignored the life and death of the people in recent years, and now it is chasing and killing the people of the rivers and lakes, but it is all a bully of the courtiers, and Emperor Liang is in the palace and does not know." Peng Huai said: "Maybe what you said is right, the old man is also very puzzled why Emperor Liang handed over the Sailin Tiger Talisman to them, and maybe he doesn't know what Zhao Ping and others have done, but it is an indisputable fact that he is seeking to usurp the throne." Xu Qing said: "Old Peng, you are talking about these past things, as if you have experienced it yourself, you don't have enough credentials, why should I believe you?" Peng Huai said: " There is no need for credentials, when tens of thousands of Serin armor soldiers besieged the imperial city, I was beside me, and I knew it clearly, I thought that King Jun was so fanfare, it must be known to the world, and he, the usurper of the dynasty, would definitely be revealed, but after he controlled the palace, he ordered the craftsman to create a fake jade seal, and then issued a decree for the first emperor, rewarding King Jun Qin for meritorious service, and widely posting edicts to confuse the eyes of the world. Xu Qing smiled and said: "Fake jade seal? It's really nonsense, back then, King Jun stepped forward to save the first emperor in danger, and later beheaded the thief who intended to assassinate the first emperor to show the public, and you were, I didn't have the leisure to listen to you say this..."
At this point, Xu Qing suddenly understood, and said angrily: "It turns out that you robbed me here, and said these troublesome words to delay the time, you must be in the inn..."
After saying that, Xu Qing turned around and walked out, and suddenly heard the sound of his knees hitting the ground behind him, and suddenly looked back and saw that Peng Huai was already kneeling on the ground, and said in his mouth: "Your Highness, please listen to the old minister." ”
Xu Qing's eyes were straight, his eyebrows were furrowed, he slowly turned around, and said suspiciously: "What do you call me?" Peng Huai said: "Your Highness.... I call you Your Highness. Xu Qing smiled and said, "Elder Peng, I see that you are confused, these days of rushing bumps, has your head been bumpy and empty?" Huaxiu Chinese
Peng Huai still knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, the old minister is more sober than anyone else, but His Royal Highness is in the fog, if there is no old minister's advice, His Royal Highness will be used by others and fall into a place of no return." ”
Xu Qing felt that Peng Huai was an elder, no matter whether he was crazy or not, he couldn't mess up his seniority, so he came over and wanted to help Peng Huai up, but Peng Huai was unwilling to move, and cried straight to Xu Qing: "Your Highness, please listen to the old minister, hasn't Your Highness always wanted to find out who the murderer of your father and mother was? ”
Xu Qing let go of his wrist, thinking that this confused old man was ashamed of his words, and none of what he said was true, and now he had to tell himself the real murderer of his father, how could he believe him, but somehow, Xu Qing, who was eager to find out the truth, did not want to miss a trace of even unreliable statements.
took a few steps back and said: "You say, you have to stand up after speaking, you can't afford to be such a big gift from Peng Lao." Peng Huai said: "Your Highness, the person who killed your father and mother back then was the same person who killed your father, and that is the brother of the current saint, that is, An Guohou Xiao Song." Xu Qing smiled and said: "What Your Highness, what Father, Old Peng, I respect you as an elder, and I hope you don't talk nonsense like this anymore!"
Peng Huai said righteously, solemnly: "Your Royal Highness does not believe in yourself is a common thing, but this is the truth, when the first emperor, that is, your father was under house arrest by King Jun in the deep palace, the old minister took His Royal Highness who was still in infancy and fled for ten days and ten nights, before he dared to enter the village to fight sharp, otherwise His Highness will die of thirst and starvation, and after all difficulties to the south to hand over His Royal Highness to ordinary farmers, and deliver gold ingots to them, so that you can study with peace of mind and live a stable life, and from then on incognito, named Xu Qing. ”
Xu Qing sighed, sat on the ground, knowing that he would not be able to get out for a while, and the one outside the door would not let him go, Peng Yushan and the others in the inn should be fine, this Peng Huai will not hurt his family, Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Sister Ye should also be safe, now out of the shallow water realm, there will be no Sailin Army to come to capture it, this Peng Huai does not seem to have malicious intentions, so he simply listened to this old man's story to see when he was going to talk about it.
Peng Huai saw Xu Qing sitting on the ground and holding his cheeks, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, the old minister told His Highness's life experience, does Your Highness have any questions?" Xu Qing said lazily: "No, Old Peng, why don't you sit down too, you don't have to kneel like this." ”
Peng Huai saw that Xu Qing had no intention of escaping, so he knelt down and sat down, sat on the futon and continued: "Your Highness, do you know how you escaped from the palace?" Xu Qing said: "How can I guess, Peng Lao should speak quickly, don't delay the auspicious time." Peng Huai said: "Your Highness is right, the old minister tried to be as concise as possible." He added: "It's your current master, Master Ye, who risked being captured, searched for a secret way to enter the palace, and sneaked into Queen Qin, that is, your biological mother, to rescue you from the assassins.
Xu Qingwu sneered, hid his face and bowed his head, Peng Huai was interrupted by Xu Qing and asked, "What is Your Highness laughing at?" Xu Qing said: "I'm sorry, I really can't help it, Peng Lao, you still have to think about making up stories, you don't need to talk about it in a wild way, so that I can listen to it with peace of mind." ”
Peng Huai was slightly angry and said hurriedly: "Your Highness... Don't you really believe the old minister for half a minute?" Xu Qing said: "It's not that you can't believe Peng Lao, it's just that since the first word Peng Lao said, if it is really the truth, then Xu Qing has lived for so many years, wouldn't he faint hundreds of times overnight, Xu Qing is not a three-year-old child, although Peng Lao, although you have no malice, but every word you say, Xu Qing is difficult to believe." ”
Peng Huai sighed a few times and said: "Your Highness doesn't believe it, the old minister doesn't blame His Highness, if it is replaced by the old minister, I'm afraid he won't believe it for a while, but His Royal Highness has to listen carefully to the old minister's words, one day, His Royal Highness will believe it." ”
Xu Qing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you go on." Peng Huai said: "That night, the head of Ye knocked the assassin unconscious with a palm at the moment of a thousand shots, rolled up the soft quilt, and then picked up His Royal Highness in his arms, and then fled to the palace tile, and then was pursued by the palace shadow royal forest plus the guards with knives, fortunately, the head of Ye was able to escape easily, but soon after, King Jun led tens of thousands of armor soldiers to rush into the palace to slaughter the palace maids and eunuchs who intended to escape, and killed the royal forest guards who originally guarded the imperial city without leaving a piece of armor. ”
When Xu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but believe a little, just because although Peng Huai was making things up, he was able to tell the story in such detail and with reason, which made him a little moved, but as long as all this was not related to himself, it was really credible, but if he was involved, he couldn't believe a word, why he was still in infancy, he was rescued by Shizun from the hands of assassins, and he was handed over to his dead father and mother to raise and raise.
I saw Peng Huai continue: "When Ye Zhangmen took His Royal Highness out of the palace, he met the old minister in Shilipo, and the old minister came to Shilipo on the order of Jianyang Zhao Sheng to wait for Ye Zhangmen to save His Highness out, and I wanted to escort His Royal Highness to the comprehensive place with Ye Zhangmen, but Ye Zhangmen could not rest assured that the safety of the Hou Ye was not at ease, so he went to Beiyin Mountain to answer, and the old minister escaped alone with His Royal Highness.
After many years, His Royal Highness has reached the age of the crown, knowing his life experience, it is difficult to believe it for a while, or it is difficult to accept it It is true, but the old minister told His Royal Highness this, which is to ask His Highness to remember that His Royal Highness has royal blood flowing in his body, and he will always be an indisputable person in the court.
Even if His Royal Highness has worshiped Ye Yun as a disciple in recent months, it is only a temporary place to find a safe place, His Royal Highness must remember his blood feud, the current Emperor Liang is your old enemy, when the time is ripe, His Royal Highness went north to Kyoto, and cut off the head of the dog emperor to comfort the spirit of the first emperor. ”
