Chapter 54 The Woman in the Dust (22)
In front of the Dongyang Mansion Council, the magnificent and loud Manjiang drum seems to be so sensational as the earth-shattering ghosts and gods, it knocks out the song of the warbler and the swallow dance in all directions, it also knocks out the new opening of the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, it also knocks out the Chitose Rongshi Wanshi, it can really be described as the sound of the copper drum, and the good things have come down again and again.
Chen Dongwang's state of mind at this time is like the rising sun warms the Quartet, and it is also better than the joy of the magpie in June, and he can no longer hide the joy in his heart, and his face is full of joy that he has never felt before and laughed loudly again and again, and his laughter is like a rainbow that shocks the mountains and rivers. Everyone was puzzled, their faces were puzzled, and their eyes looked at him with intent, only to see that the prince was holding in his hand the document sent by the imperial court, what would be written in it, and what would make him anxiously beat the drum of the river and gather the people? Because this drum is very important, it symbolizes the peace and prosperity of the people in the four seas and Kyushu, and it is absolutely impossible to knock on it without urgent military affairs.
The crowd was talking about it, and each of them was speculating in detail: Could it be that there was another Turkic attack, and the emperor ordered the prince to go to defend the country? Could it be that the mountains and rivers will be shattered, the sun and the moon are gone, and the emperor will issue an urgent military order; or may a certain prince and king rebel against the imperial court and order the prince to go to relieve the crisis? But everyone kept speculating, just looking at the prince's refreshed and joyful expression, it was definitely not such a bad thing? But after thinking about it, I don't know why the prince was so excited?
It turned out that the matter described in this document was that the emperor was seriously ill and knew that he would not be able to afford to be ill, and he knew that King Chen Dong was a person with both virtue and integrity, possessed all the virtues of the emperor, and was his own uncle, so he was ready to learn from the ancient sage Yao Shunyu and Zen in him. Hearing this, how could he not be overjoyed? Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to enter the imperial court, but he really never expected that the sky would send a unicorn to him to report good news, and he was really very happy.
Looking at his subordinates, his heart was like a surging river, and the whole person was immersed in an atmosphere of joy, so he said: "Listen, it is really good news for this king, I never thought that the emperor was young, and he would have an incurable disease, and he elected this king from among the princes and kings, and prepared to give me the Zen throne, do you say it is great news?"
When the rest of the people heard this, their faces were also full of joy, so they also tended to be inflammatory, picked up the good words, and congratulated him greatly: "Congratulations to the prince on his going to be a great treasure." ”
"Everyone said wrong, we should change our words, not call the prince, but call long live, and the ministers congratulate Long live the joy. The crowd welcomed King Chen's mentality, so they said something that would make him more pleasant.
King Chen Dong's face was really full of joy, and his voice was really as pleasant as a tongqin song, and said: "Okay! Great! Everyone Aiqing quickly calm down, you are all my supporters, and when I succeed to the emperor's throne, you will all be the founding heroes, and you will all be rewarded, hahahaha!" He was already afraid that he would not wait to call himself me, but commensurate with his subordinates, and at this time his harboring evil intentions had been revealed.
After a while, he found that almost everyone in the hall congratulated him, except for a subordinate named Wang Cangbai, who not only did not congratulate him, but after hearing this, he was sullen and full of sorrow, so he said angrily: "Wang Aiqing, I have encountered such a happy event, why don't you congratulate me? Don't you want me to succeed to the emperor's throne?"
After Wang Cangbai was worried, he made a report: "The prince, please forgive me, don't rejoice so early, my subordinates always feel that this matter is strange, how can the emperor be so good and decent? I'm afraid it's a fraud." Wang Cangbai's ideas are more original, and his suspicions are also relatively big, and he always feels that there is a problem when he thinks about it, so he reminds him.
Unexpectedly, King Chen Dong was really annoyed and said: "Hmph, what a bastard, this king and the emperor are uncles and nephews, what is wrong with his Zen position and this king?
"Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that there is a problem in this, but they can't say what the problem is, so please think carefully and make a decision. Wang Cangbai's first feeling was that there was fraud in it, so he wanted to persuade him to find out the situation first and then speak.
After a while, Su Duojiao brought the sound of the drum to the front of the council hall, and when King Chen Dong saw this female Zhuge , he had a plan, since he didn't know if there was really a fraud in this, why not listen to what this strange woman said? She was well versed in the art of war and strategy, and what she said must be exactly the same, so she let her enter the council hall, and told her what had just happened from beginning to end, and then handed over the document to her to see.
Su Duojiao looked at the handwriting of this line, and felt that it was not bad, so he already knew in his heart, only the several emperors of ancient times had inherited the Zen concession system, and the emperors in the future were all inherited from the father to the death of the son, not to mention the Zen concession system, which is absolutely impossible, this must be the imperial court's plan to dismantle King Chen Dong, lure him to the capital, and wait for the opportunity to get rid of him when he is defenseless. And King Chen Dong only thought about ascending to the throne, and was carried away by interests, so naturally he would not take into account these many factors.
The next moment, Su Duojiao solemnly looked at the content of the document again, and then looked at King Chen Dong, and calculated in her heart, this is not only the strategy of the imperial court, but now she will not say anything, but also to help the imperial court, as long as she releases the spark again, King Chen Dong will be lured to Beijing.
It's just that she is worried about more than this, if King Chen Dong is now killed by the imperial court, then how can the soldiers under him be willing to give up? And she has been in contact with the army under King Chen Dong, and knows that they are still loyal and patriotic, fortunately they have not been lured to a detour by King Chen Dong's evil intentions, as long as she thinks of a plan from it, so that his shocking ambition and conspiracy is exposed to everyone, then clarify the interests of his soldiers, I believe that they must also be people who understand the righteousness, which can not only get rid of King Chen Dong, but also subdue his elite soldiers and strong generals to serve the court, which is a plan to kill one stone.
And King Chen Dong saw that Su Duojiao was slow to speak, so he asked anxiously: "Miss Su, why don't you speak?
Su Duojiao immediately bowed and congratulated loudly: "The little girl bows to my emperor long live long live, you are full of virtues all over the world and Kyushu, only compared to the three emperors and five emperors, today it can really be said to be the same as the sun and the moon, heaven and earth are long, this is the biggest joy between heaven and earth, long live the congratulations." ”
"Hahahaha! Okay! That's great! So, does Miss Su think this is true?" Chen Dongwang said with joy and pretended to question.
"Long live Hui, how can such a happy event fall from heaven, how can it be fake? Besides, you have no jokes, how can the little emperor regret it even if he has given an order?" Su Duojiao said with a serious face.
"Okay, great, hahaha!" King Chen Dong saw that Su Duojiao, the female Zhuge had also spoken, and he was convinced of this matter, and no one would shake his trust anymore.
Therefore, he ordered the left and right to prepare their suits and lead a pair of men and horses into Beijing to accept the Zen concession, and then what would happen? Is it really as Su Duojiao expected, but the imperial court wants to get rid of him?
