Chapter 426: The Betrayal of the Imperial Sun
Seeing that Zhou Cheng was blocking the way, the emperor immediately ordered everyone to stop.
After taking back the knife in his hand, the emperor looked at Zhou Cheng and asked, "Zhou Cheng, why are you here?"
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Cheng walked to the emperor's sedan chair, immediately knelt on the ground, and said with a sad face: "Ask the emperor's grandfather to spare his life." ”
"Spare your life?" the emperor looked puzzled, "why spare your life!"
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhou Cheng looked at the guards around the emperor, and then glanced at the emperor.
"They're all my people, just say it. The Emperor said.
"Grandpa Huang, it's not good, my father, my father wants to rebel!" Zhou Chengdao.
As soon as Zhou Cheng's words came out, he not only shocked the emperor, but also stunned everyone around him.
"What do you say!" said the Emperor with a solemn face, "you say it again." ”
"Grandpa Huang, my father secretly colluded with the Imperial City Division, Donggong Wei, Qi Guogong and others, and wanted to rebel when you went to Yanfu Palace to see Concubine Li. Zhou Chengdao.
"You're crazy!" the emperor shook his head in disbelief, then jumped off the sedan chair excitedly and kicked Zhou Cheng hard.
After being kicked over, Zhou Cheng immediately knelt in front of the emperor again, kowtowed, and said, "Grandpa Huang, I beg you to circumvent your grandson's life, but your grandson doesn't approve of his father's doing." ”
"Zhou Cheng!" the emperor pulled out the knife in his hand and hung it on Zhou Cheng's neck, "You dare to guarantee that you are not deceiving me, he is your father." ”
"What if he is my father, you are still his father!" Zhou Cheng said with tears in his eyes.
The emperor coughed twice suddenly, his face was red, his ears were red, and his wrinkles were remarkable, as if he had suddenly aged a few years older. There is little sadness in his always resolute and divine gaze.
"Then why did you betray your father!" the Emperor asked.
"Because I hate him!" Zhou Cheng suddenly roared, "At the beginning, he knew that it was someone else who killed my imperial brother, but in order to bring down Uncle Rui, the murderer of the imperial brother went unpunished!"
"You're still complaining about your father because of your brother!" the emperor shook his head.
"But isn't he also resentful of you because you are partial to Uncle Rui Wang and Uncle Seven Wang!"
After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, the emperor slapped him in the face.
"Why should your father!" said the emperor sadly, and his whole body shook with it, and Gonggong Li immediately stepped forward and held him up.
"I only have such a son! Why does he do this to me!" said the Emperor.
"Because, because my father knows him, and knows that his life is short, and my grandfather is still old and strong. He has been fighting with my uncles all his life, isn't it just to fight for the throne!"
Listening to Zhou Cheng's words, the emperor closed his eyes and shook his head. At this time, he can be said to have a heart like a knife, and the seven sons born to him either died young or betrayed him.
"But you make me wonder, if your father succeeds in rebellion today, he will lay a foundation for you!" he looked at Zhou Cheng and asked.
"But I just don't want him to get what he wants!" Zhou Chengdao said, with a fierce light in his eyes, looking a little terrifying.
"No matter what the cost!"
Looking at the grandson in front of him, the emperor seemed to see himself when he was young. Then, he took Zhou Cheng into Yanfu Palace together.
In Yanfu Palace, Zhou Cheng met Concubine Li. Concubine Li was only two months pregnant, and she was already thin, so she couldn't see any signs of pregnancy.
Concubine Li is about to turn 20, and she does not lose the feeling of a girl in her gestures. After looking at Concubine Li, Zhou Cheng finally understood why the emperor would favor her.
In the following hour, Zhou Chengcheng stayed in Yanfu Palace with the emperor and Concubine Li. During this period, the emperor has been quietly waiting for Li Gongbus, and successively summoned the commanders of the guards such as the front division of the palace, the infantry division of the guards, and the horse army division of the guards.
Looking at the emperor's calm appearance, Zhou Cheng was very uneasy in his heart, he knew very well that in front of the Gongchen Gate, there must be a bloody battle, and the blood flowed like a river, and his father, the crown prince, would die under the arrows.
Zhou Cheng didn't know whether the emperor would let him go or kill him.
Finally, night fell, and the palace was quiet.
After Concubine Li accompanied her for a while, the emperor let her rest.
Looking at Concubine Li's distant figure, Zhou Cheng was reluctant to look.
"Zhou Cheng!" the emperor interrupted Zhou Cheng's thoughts, "Tell me, if you are me, what do you plan to do with your father?"
"It doesn't have to be disposed of. ”
"Why?" the Emperor asked, "don't you hate your father so much?"
"Grandpa Huang, my father is planning to fight to the death this time, and he doesn't plan to leave a way out for himself at all. ”
The Emperor took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"If your father died, wouldn't you really be sad?"
"Grandpa Huang, my father is dead, will you be sad?" Zhou Cheng asked rhetorically.
The emperor snorted angrily, and his body shook with anger, "Your two uncles just died, I don't care if one more son dies." ”
Zhou Cheng smiled, "In my heart, I don't think of him as a father for a long time." ”
"What about me? In your heart, I'm still your grandfather?"
"Of course, the imperial grandfather has no grievances with me, why should I hate the imperial grandfather. Grandpa Huang, you. ”
"Stop!" The emperor suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Cheng's words, and then his face darkened, "Here, here they are!"
The Emperor had already heard the chaos of the war.
Zhou Cheng's heart was shocked, he also heard the sound of shouting and killing outside, as well as the sound of soldiers meeting each other, and his hands were clasped together uneasily.
Soon, Concubine Li, who had come to the room to rest, hurried over, and she was frightened and trembled as she knew nothing about the prince's rebellion.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Concubine Li threw herself into the emperor's arms like a panicked rabbit, and at this time she couldn't care about being rude in front of Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng saw that the emperor's hand wrapped his arms around Concubine Li's weak waist and took her into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, concubine, some wolf ambitions want to rebel, but everything is under my control. The emperor whispered to Concubine Li.
Zhou Cheng averted his thoughts, got up and walked out of the main hall.
However, before he could leave the door of the main hall, he was stopped by two guards.
Then he kept wandering back and forth in front of the door, his whole body shaking.
The emperor saw all this. Zhou Cheng is still a child after all, and it is inevitable to panic when he encounters this kind of thing.
After about half a pillar of incense.
The hall was lit with candles, and the candlelight shook violently in the wind.
The emperor sat on his dragon chair and held Concubine Li in his arms. And Zhou Cheng was still clenching his fists and looking out of the hall uneasily.
Finally, it was quiet outside.
Only then did Zhou Cheng realize that it was completely dark.
He silently took a cool breath to keep the tears from flowing.
