Chapter 309: The Truth of the Bloody Case
For a while, Haoxing Xiaoqi was speechless by Xiao Tianjue.
Thinking of the rebellion of his two sons, he was really ashamed and indignant, and felt extremely sad.
As for the threat of Beirong, although he is reluctant to mention it on weekdays, he has always been afraid.
However, after all, those enemies were still far away from the capital and the luxurious palace where he lived, so he preferred to pretend to turn a blind eye. Even with the unrealistic expectation that one day, the threat would disappear on its own.
And now, these sore spots have been ruthlessly exposed one by one in front of everyone's seventh emperor brother, which suddenly made him, the emperor, feel a sense of self-shame.
After being an emperor for decades, sitting on the dragon chair of the vertical arch hall all day long, accepting the worship of the courtiers, Haoxing Xiaoqi has long forgotten that it is embarrassing to be accused and reprimanded in person!
"I ...... I ......"
He was silent for a long time before he muttered: "The threat of the northerners ...... It has existed since the beginning of this dynasty, that is, with the martial arts of the former emperor, and it cannot be completely eliminated. Since I ascended the throne, I have fought several wars with the northerners, and at least I have not lost my territory......"
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and instantly became arrogant again, "Back then, if it weren't for Haoxing Xiaoyin, the commander of the Northern Army, who left Yongzhou without permission, sneaked back to the capital, and then made the act of breaking into the palace and plotting rebellion, why did the Northern Army become leaderless and forced by the northerners to retreat to Jinmen Pass?"
When Xiao Tianjue heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter obviously contained an extreme sadness and indignation.
"It seems that that dragon chair can indeed destroy human nature, so that you, a faint king, have the face to say such shameless words!"
His tiger eyes stared at Haoxing Xiaoqi's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think that the sixth brother was killed by you, and no one can tell the truth clearly?"
Back then, it was you who made people falsely send news to the sixth brother, saying that the critically ill emperor had left a will and ordered Princess Qingping, who was the queen, to be martyred, so as to lead the sixth brother back to the capital from the north. ”
"You ——, this is completely true! I have never done such a thing! It is Hao Xing Xiaoyin who left his post without permission and returned to Beijing to fight for the throne!"
Xiao Tianjue looked at his hopeless eldest brother, and asked in a calm tone: "Do you know why the queen mother suddenly suffered from eye disease and couldn't see?"
Haoxing Xiaoqi was stunned and replied: "The queen mother worries all day long, so that she suffers from eye disease, which is naturally caused by missing the emperor. ”
"The queen mother worries all day long, not because she misses the emperor, but because she is afraid that after she dies, she will have no shame to meet the emperor!"
Xiao Tianjue couldn't help but sigh, and continued: "Before the queen mother died, she personally admitted to me how she peeked at the edict of the former emperor and conspired with you to tamper with the name of the prince from the sixth brother to you, the eldest son of the emperor.
After that, you blocked the news of the death of the first emperor, kept it secret, and designed to lure the sixth brother back to Beijing, and finally shot him in the palace in the name of rebellion.
And the most outrageous thing is that you deliberately let Princess Qingping know the news that the sixth brother broke into the palace to save her mother, so she held the body of the sixth brother and threw herself into the fire and died!
The queen mother was also deeply condemned by her conscience, and every time she thought about it, she felt ashamed of the emperor. In the midst of fear, knots arise in the heart, so that the eyes cannot see.
Later, although the eye disease was cured, the knot in the queen mother's heart could not be resolved. Since then, she has eaten fasting and recited Buddha to atone for her previous sorrows.
Moreover, before leaving, the queen mother told me that I must find the descendants of the sixth brother and treat them more kindly. In any case, they are the blood and blood of the former emperor, which can be regarded as removing a little sin for the queen mother. ”
"It turned out to be the queen mother!"
Haoxing Xiaoqi nodded, "I have already guessed that it must be the queen mother who confided the truth to you, and you will suddenly change your temperament and start to oppose me!"
Xiao Tianjue sneered and said, "It was indeed after listening to the words of the queen mother that I made up my mind not to do anything from now on! But what is against you, I have already started to do it long before that.
It's just that you designed the conspiracy to frame the sixth brother, I didn't know about it from the queen mother, but long before that, the sixth brother had already told me personally!"
Seeing Haoxing Xiaoqi showing a surprised expression, Xiao Tian couldn't help but sneer again, and said: "For so many years, you have always thought that you are as wise and wise as the sixth brother, but you were also played with by you, and finally ended up ruined!"
In fact, you don't know at all that the sixth brother just couldn't bear to see the mountains and rivers broken and the people suffered, and Beirong took the opportunity to get involved in the territory of Dayu, so he willingly returned to Beijing to die.
Although the sixth brother knew that it was not the emperor's intention to let Princess Qingping be martyred, but a trick you cast, in order to save his mother, and even more so to prevent Dayu from falling into a civil war and putting the people in fire and water, he still chose to step into your trap.
He did not bring back a single soldier of the Northern Army, and returned to the capital alone. On the second day, he took dozens of hidden warriors in the mansion to the palace to save his mother.
On the eve of his invasion of the palace, I advised him to flee with his family, even if he did not fight for the throne, and not to make unnecessary sacrifices. But he rejected me.
Because he knew that as long as he lived, those who followed him would not willingly submit to the new king. It is inevitable that there will be people who openly oppose you, or even rebel under his banner, and a civil war will be inevitable after all.
In the end, it was I who was persuaded by the sixth brother to take his child Ming Rui to rush out of the encirclement set up by the Loyal and Righteous Alliance outside the Yongwang Mansion, and finally left a bloodline for the sixth brother. ”
"Mingrui ......"
Haoxing Xiaoqi unconsciously recited this name that had long disappeared from his memory, and slowly turned his gaze to Haoxing Mingrui.
Haoxing Mingrui saw that His Majesty the Emperor looked at him, he just smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I am Haoxing Mingrui, the son of the Eternal King, that is, the child you sent someone to track down for many years to no avail." ”
"It turned out to be you——, it was you all along! It was you who secretly set a trap and forced me into such a predicament!"
Haoxing Xiaoqi suddenly realized that he finally understood who he had lost to.
He pointed at Haoxing Mingrui and shouted inwardly: "Aren't you going to seek revenge on me for Haoxing Xiaoyin?
Haoxing Mingrui looked at him and smiled disdainfully, "If I want to take your life, my father would have had a chance back then!
Therefore, his father would rather give up his life than see the country split and the country stained with blood. As his son, I naturally wouldn't do what my father would never do.
And this life of yours is not worth the lives of the people of the Yongwang Mansion and all the hidden people who were killed by your order!"
Knowing that he would not die, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and his courage also grew.
He sat back on the dragon chair, snorted proudly, and said, "Since you don't have the courage to kill the king, what are you doing here again? Could it be that you want me to overturn the case for Haoxing Xiaoyin's traitor? It's just wishful thinking!"
