Chapter II: The Crime of Forming a Party for Personal Gain
However, the imperial capital is unpredictable, Tuoba Shou never expected that the tenth brother would be out in such an unbelievable way, and what he didn't expect was that his father would secretly instruct the left prime minister Tuoba Zichu to encircle and suppress the eldest brother's forces.
It's like a nightmare, and with Tuoba Shou's forbearance, he can't see the direction clearly.
At this moment, as a prince who has the support of abnormal forces and is qualified to compete for the throne, should he firmly support his father's decision, and stand firmly on his father's side to gain the favor of his old man as Wang Zilie did at the beginning;
There are a lot of people chattering in the palace, but there are very few people who can really solve problems for him, Tuoba Shou clearly knows that his fate must be controlled by himself, and the only person who can make the final decision is himself. He looked at the smoke and dust in the east, listened to the sound of shouting and shouting, and clenched his fists hard.
......
The incident happened suddenly, and the eleventh prince Tuoba Lie, who was worried about the disappearance of his mother-in-law Tuoba Phoenix, suddenly heard the news that the Praetorian Guards were surrounding the mansion of the right prime minister, the imperial general, and the eldest brother at the same time.
He immediately found Shen Fei, who had been with him all night yesterday and went back to the house to rest at dawn today.
"Knock knock" knocked on the door, it took a long time for the door to open a crack, Nalan Ruoxue stood in the room with messy hair, a trace of anger on her face, and saw that it was Tuoba Lie who suppressed this trace of anger: "Lord Wang, Shen Fei just fell asleep, is there something wrong!"
Tuoba Lie said apologetically: "Brother and sister, something's wrong! please wake up Daozun, something big has happened in the empire." ”
"This ......" Nalan Ruoxue was still reluctant to open the door, she was distressed about Shen Fei's body, but the latter had already quietly appeared behind her: "What happened to make His Highness so sad!" He reached over and pinched Ruoxue's cold little hand to tell her not to speak.
Tuoba Lie said, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Dao Venerable." But there was really something big going on, and the king had to come to see him. ”
"Is there any news from the eldest princess? ”
"No, something bigger. ”
"Let's talk, let's talk in the study. Having said that, Shen Fei closed the door instead, and after a while, the door reopened, he had changed into clean clothes, and went to the study with His Highness.
While walking, Shen Fei said: "I feel that the southeast direction is very murderous, and the things Your Highness wants to say are not related to this." ”
"Don't hide it from Daozun, this king is hesitant in his heart now, and he urgently needs to find someone who understands to discuss it. ”
"It seems to have something to do with it. ”
"Daozun, the eldest brother's mansion is besieged, and at the same time, the mansion of Murong Nan, the right prime minister of the empire, and the general Wang Shangguan Hongri are also besieged. ”
"Is there such a thing? It's too sudden. Having said that, what Shen Fei thought in his heart was that it must have stimulated the old emperor to the death of Tuoba Phoenix, so that he could implement the plan in advance and kill the prince's forces. The first is the eldest prince, the second is the tenth prince, and then the eleventh prince and the sixth prince, none of the princes can run, "What is the beginning?"
"Witchcraft? Someone participated in the eldest brother to curse his father with the witchcraft technique, so his father would be riddled with evil diseases all day long. ”
This absurdity is clearly just an excuse. ”
"This king feels the same way. It's here. While talking, the two walked to the door of the study, Tuoba Lie pushed the door directly in, the interior of the room was furnished as usual, but it was placed on the rice paper in the middle of the table with a big character written in thick ink: "Think!" It can be seen that His Royal Highness has been deeply confused by the old emperor's behavior in recent days.
After entering the house, he immediately closed the door, and Shen Fei and Tuoba Lie stood and spoke: "The eldest prince is His Royal Highness's biggest enemy, His Majesty has taken action against the power of the eldest prince, it stands to reason that His Royal Highness should be happy, isn't it." ”
"It stands to reason that this king should be happy, but for some reason he just can't be happy. ”
"Your Highness is worried about something. ”
"This king is worried that his father's target is not only the eldest brother. ”
"What is Your Highness going to do? ”
"This king just didn't know what to do before he came to ask for advice. ”
"Let me think about it. Shen Fei turned his back and walked to the window, all kinds of thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and after a long time, he finally made a decision: "Your Highness, this sentence may be a serious crime, and Shen can only say it to His Highness alone." ”
Tuoba Lie showed a hint of trepidation, and said, "There are only you and me in the room, and there will never be a third person who knows about our conversation today, Dao Venerable, please rest assured and speak up." ”
"There's something wrong with your father. ”
"Father?"
"That is, long live today, Ninety-Five Supreme!"
"What can be wrong with my father?"
"There's a demonic aura in him. ”
"Daozun, you're kidding, how can there be demonic energy on my father's body. Seeing that Shen Fei's expression didn't seem to be fake, Tuoba Lie's heart sank, and he said hesitantly: "Daozun, what you said is true?"
Shen Fei said calmly: "When did I lie to you!"
"But what does that mean?"
In other words, he no longer needs a successor. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like five thunderbolts, and Tuoba Lie's face changed greatly and he sat on the chair.
"Your Highness, in fact, there are some things that Shen wanted to say when Tuoba Zi was canonized as the protector of the country at the beginning, perhaps, it's time for us to consider seizing power by force. ”
"You mean rebellion?"
"Otherwise, the princes will only be killed one by one, and your eldest brother is just the beginning. ”
"But on what basis does this king confront his father, and why can he rebel!"
"Do you remember Aung Sanqing, the city lord of Qingzhou City, if we can win him over, we will have the strength to fight. ”
"Daozun already has a plan?"
"I'd like to take it myself!"
"To Qingzhou?"
"Go and persuade Aung San Thanh to change from your father's man to His Royal Highness's man, and lead the Qingzhou City Defense Army to the north to King Qin. ”
"How can you convince him?"
"It's just a three-inch tongue. ”
"How sure. ”
The key is for His Highness to make a decision. ”
King Rong thought about it. ”
"Your Highness, you should know that there is no flesh and blood affection in the emperor's tomb. ”
"That being said, it's still difficult to really raise an army to kill the father and the king, and the father and the emperor may not be ......."
"When the palace of the eldest prince is breached, it will be too late for Your Highness......"
"This ...... Let this king think about it again, let this king think about it......"
"Your Highness, when you are constantly interrupted, you will suffer from it! The eldest husband can't be indecisive at a critical moment. ”
"Daozun, this king asks you again, how sure are you that you can convince General Aung San!"
"To tell you the truth, General Aung San was cultivated by His Majesty, and it is not easy to convince him, but it is man-made, and now we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, and Shen will definitely try his best to do it. ”
With Daozun's words, the king was relieved, and the king wrote a letter to ask Daozun to pass it on to the lord of Aung San. ”
"Your Highness can have such a decision, Shen should do his best to complete the task. ”
Tuoba Lie walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, wrote a letter with a vigorous gesture of "brush, brush, brush", and read it several times before putting it into the envelope, stamping it with the unique seal of the prince, and personally handing it over to Shen Fei, saying: "If this thing is successful, the Taoist Sect will enjoy the gift of the state religion in the human country, and this king will worship the Taoist as the national teacher." ”
Shen believes that His Highness will be able to fulfill his promise. Shen Fei put the envelope in his arms, clasped hands tightly with Huang Zilie, then turned away, and pushed open the door with a wave of his big hand, "I want to find someone to walk with me, Your Highness, you can wait for my good news." ”
......
In the mansion of the eldest prince, crossbow arrows were fired, and the sound of killing was endless.
When the gate of the Prince's Mansion was opened from the inside, hundreds of crossbow arrows were about to shoot Dongfang Changqing and the Praetorian Guard soldiers who surrounded the Prince's Mansion into a sieve, but they never expected that with a green dragon rising, the Dongfang Evergreen Treasure Knife swept and blocked all the flying crossbow arrows.
Aung San Qing has the strength of the tiger, and the Oriental Evergreen will display the true qi of the green dragon, accompanied by the sword out of the sheath, a green dragon is lifelike, sweeping everything, blocking the salvo of crossbow arrows while also destroying the gate of the prince's mansion, destroying the garden shape of the gate, and overturning the bronze tripod located in the middle of the courtyard.
Dongfang Changqing is worthy of being the commander of the Praetorian Guard, putting aside the identity of the unity of the human and the demon, the fighting strength of a single martial artist is not something that ordinary people can resist, far above Aung Sanqing.
Dongfang Changqing rushed into the mansion with Qinglong in the lead, and he was greeted by a joint attack of aliens, Shangguan Hongri must have regretted it at this time, he knew that His Majesty should not have fought with Shen Fei first, and he lost several of his generals, and now he regrets it.
The combined blows of the Inhumans finally stopped Dongfang Changqing's advance, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers rushed in, spear in both hands, and confronted the small number of soldiers responsible for guarding the palace.
"Put down the sword, this official is not to blame for the past, if you insist on resisting, not only will you die, but your family will also be punished. "Dongfang Changqing coerced and enticed, what he had to do as a general was to hit the enemy's morale and shake the morale of the army.
The soldiers of the palace did look at each other as he expected, their hands trembled and they were sweating profusely, the Praetorian Guards came by His Majesty's will, and their stubborn resistance was equivalent to openly resisting the order, and the crime was extremely serious.
But a stern voice sounded behind them: "You are all the servants of His Royal Highness the Prince, once the Prince's Mansion is broken, even the Nine Clans, will you still have any chance of surviving? Don't be stupid, that person is fooling you." With this majestic voice, Shangguan Hongri, who was wearing battle armor, paced out, his steps were steady, holding a double axe, his eyes were sharp, he walked from behind the crowd to the front of the crowd, and stood opposite Dongfang Changqing, "General Dongfang, I didn't expect that you and I would meet each other one day." With his appearance, the swaying military heart immediately settled down, after all, it was the god of war nicknamed Rentu, and he was the first general of the empire.
"The old emperor unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and at the same time slaughtered the heroes, he didn't even let go of his own son, which is really ruthless. "The general Wang Shangguan Hongri has completely lost his disgusting style, just like a god of war wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon, murderous and majestic. He is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and he lives a life of licking blood from the knife all day long, which is not worth mentioning in his opinion.
"Eat the king's luck, share the king's worries. As a courtier of His Majesty, you are pampered and arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, vainly trying to collude with friends, subvert the society, and disregard Jun's grace at the same time to plunge the empire into a war, Your Majesty has endured it for too long, and today you have to do it. Dongfang Changqing said righteously, his eyes swept over the soldiers one by one: "Don't you put down your weapons, then you will be punished according to the crime of treason, and the nine clans will be punished!"
His words pierced people's hearts, and the soldiers showed signs of wavering, seeing that the situation was about to be suppressed, the eldest prince Tuoba Yuanji appeared in person accompanied by Shen Teng: "There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, the father has always regarded his sons and ministers as pearls in the palm of his hand, and he is very affectionate with his mother. Listen well, all the soldiers, today and this king rushed into the palace to kill the protector of the country, and immediately rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, each of whom was rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels, and the official was promoted to three levels, and this king will never break his word!" When the eldest prince, who has always been stupid, showed amazing calmness and confidence, everyone showed a surprised expression, and he was obviously much more clever than Shangguan Hongri when he said such words. You must know that the empire is immersed in the idea of loyalty, and rashly engaging in confrontation is rebellion and rebellion, which is unjust. But the eldest prince is different, the eldest prince put all the charges on Tuoba Zichu, the protector of the country, and frankly admitted that His Majesty has been controlled by the other party, and he wants to kill Tuoba Zichu and rescue His Majesty, then the original unrighteous act has become a famous teacher, coupled with a super high reward, and the morale is immediately shocked.
"Your Highness, you have been pretending to be crazy and stupid all along, what a good acting skill. Dongfang Changqing's eyes flashed with a different color, he clearly remembered that the old emperor once said that Yuan Ji's honesty and honesty were probably pretended, because he didn't believe that his bloodline would be so bad, and today it really came true.
"General Dongfang, if you are really loyal to your father, you should rush into the palace with this king at this moment, this king believes that his father and his old man must have been controlled by the so-called protector. The eldest prince said slowly and honestly, saying the same as the real thing, and the acting skills are indeed realistic.
"You know very well that it was Your Majesty's intention to send troops to arrest you. "Oriental Evergreen Road.
"Impossible, what reason does the old man have to arrest his own son. ”
"Just by virtue of the fact that you have formed a party for personal gain, intent on rebellion. ”
"It's nonsense!"
"Then Your Highness, how do you explain that General Shangguan is here. ”
"This king and General Shangguan have a very good personal relationship. ”
"This is clique and self-interest. ”
