Chapter 21: The Two Dragons Compete for the Pearl
A loud shout resounded through the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then, the sound of the horse's hooves swept overwhelmingly, and a large number of cavalry came like clouds, and the fierce power came to the face.
From the beginning of the cavalry into the eyes, until the vanguard rushed to the mausoleum, there was still no end in sight, the number of cavalry was so large, like a torrent, thousands are not just adjectives, here are quantifiers.
As soon as the vanguard of the cavalry arrived, it expanded in a fan shape, surrounding many mourners, and the subsequent cavalry contingent also continued to arrive.
The sound of horses' hooves lasted for more than ten minutes, and when all the cavalry was exhausted and joined together, there was a tendency to sweep the heavens and the earth, no less than 10,000 people.
This sudden change was very shocking, causing a riot at the scene, with the reaction of ordinary people and harem concubines being the most violent.
Ordinary people, most of them are just ordinary people, among the harem concubines, there are those who have achieved cultivation, and there are also ordinary people, facing more than 10,000 iron horses, the fierce power that comes to them makes them unbearable, and many people panic.
Not to mention ordinary mortals, even some cultivators, when facing such a powerful iron horse and the power of the sky, they can't help but beat drums in their hearts.
Some people are flustered, naturally some people are calm, the second prince Shentong is ambitious, ambitious, dare to disobey the edict of the first emperor and forcibly seize the throne.
I saw the second prince coming out of the crowd, facing more than 10,000 iron horsemen, and his face did not change, at least his courage was by no means inferior to others.
"Brother Huang, since you have arrived, why hide your head and show your tail, why don't you show up. ”
The second prince said loudly.
As soon as the second prince came out, it played a role in stabilizing people's hearts, and the panic in the funeral procession quickly subsided, and everyone settled down a lot.
The copper wall composed of more than 10,000 iron horsemen divided a gap, and the two horsemen slowly walked out of it and came to the front of everyone, facing the second prince from afar.
As soon as these two people appeared, Shang Yunying immediately let out a startled "huh", stared at one of them with burning eyes for a moment, then turned to Gu Shaohua and asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Shaohua pretended to be stupid: "What's going on?"
His eyes were cold, and Shang Yunying said coldly: "Aren't you the eldest prince, how can there be another eldest prince and be able to mobilize so many soldiers and horses, you can't be fake?"
"Groaning" in his heart, for fear of being seen through, he didn't have a good way to cover it, so he only said strongly: "That's my stand-in, my father died, my second brother is ambitious, and there will be a shocking battle between me, for safety, and for the sake of safety, I found a stand-in." ”
Gu Shaohua's explanation, Shang Yunying didn't believe it all, his sharp eyes stared at him for a long time before he retracted his gaze in disbelief.
Lowering her eyes and recovering her cold expression, Shang Yunying said lightly: "It's best that you didn't lie to me, otherwise, you know the consequences." ”
"No, no, how can that. ”
Gu Shaohua smiled.
His heart is not as calm as he looks, he is worried to death, Shang Yunying's methods, he has seen it, and he is far from being able to do anything, and he is not as good as hers.
If she finds out, she really deceived her and pretended to be the eldest prince, even if it is not voluntary, the end will be miserable, it is conceivable that his heart will hang high and he will not come back for a long time.
This kind of thing is very easy to verify, with Shang Yunying's cultivation and methods, it is not difficult to get to the bottom of it, so Gu Shaohua is very anxious.
Although he was very anxious in his heart, he couldn't reveal it at all, lest Shang Yunying discover the abnormality.
And, even if he was eager, there was nothing he could do, either to remedy it or to conceal it, and under her nose, he could do nothing.
I can only hope that Guan Youwei and the real prince Shen Jue will help them carry a little bit and don't miss it all at once.
The eldest prince appeared, riding on a tall horse, looking at the second prince condescendingly, his expression was complicated, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The second prince said nonchaltly: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." Brother Huang, it's really time for you to come back. ”
The eldest prince smiled slightly: "I know you don't want me to come back, I wish I could die outside, but unfortunately, I won't take advantage of your heart." ”
"Hahaha, the royal brother laughed. ”
The second prince said with a "hearty" smile: "It is said that my father did not issue an order for the imperial brother to return to Beijing, and you left office without permission and entered Beijing without an order, which is somewhat inappropriate." However, at this very moment, it is okay for the imperial brother to return to see off his father and the emperor, with full filial piety. ”
"It's just, Brother Huang, you can come, with so many soldiers and horses, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?!"
The eldest prince was still smiling.
"Second brother, take out your father's edict. ”
"The edict of succession? That's the edict that my father passed on to me, and it has nothing to do with the emperor's brother, why do you want to read it. Even if you have to see it, you have to go back to the palace, I didn't take it with me, if the imperial brother is interested, you can wait for my father to be buried, and then go back to the palace with me to see. ”
The second prince said lightly.
The eldest prince shook his head, the smile on his face that had been hanging on his face retracted, and said calmly: "Okay, second brother, let's stop fighting, you are my younger brother, I still don't know you." In Kyoto, you have already laid a net, waiting for me to throw myself into the net, do you think I will be so stupid to follow you into the trap. ”
"Heaven and Earth Net, Trap, Brother Huang, what do you mean?"
The second prince pretended to be stupid.
"Alright, don't fill me with garlic here. You concealed the news of your father's death because you wanted to seize the opportunity, and you sent someone to intercept me halfway, all of this is just to sit in that position. ”
The eldest prince was blunt, and the fight between the two brothers was naked in front of everyone, and those present heard it, some were shocked, some suddenly realized, and some disagreed.
Thousands of people and thousands of faces, like many phases.
After the death of the first emperor, the various behaviors of the two princes clearly showed their ambition to compete for the throne, concealed the death of the first emperor, kept the mourning secret, tampered with the edict, etc., all of which were large-scale.
Although the second prince tried his best to be secretive, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and he couldn't do it alone, so he always had to rely on some helpers, so the secret was leaked out a little.
The second prince's desire to seize the throne is obvious, and those who can gain a foothold in the court, regardless of martial arts, or official positions, have their own means to gain a foothold, and more or less, they can find out some inside information.
The difference between the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty is only the attitude towards this matter, and those who support him will naturally be reused; those who oppose him will be suppressed; and those who are wise and wise will also be appeased.
It seems that the ambitions and deeds of the second prince are well known, but in fact, they are only limited to the upper echelons of the Qi State, and the lower class people, such as ordinary people and soldiers, still know nothing.
Therefore, when the eldest prince made his words clear, the biggest uproar was the thousands of people who volunteered to follow the funeral, as well as the forbidden army who guarded all the way.
They never thought that the seemingly peaceful Qi State would have a turbulent undercurrent underneath, and the handover of the throne would inevitably not be smooth sailing.
They may be ignorant, they may not have foresight, they may not be well-informed, they are at the bottom of the Qi country, and they can't control the open and secret battles at the top, but they can feel that the chaos in the Qi country is coming.
"I have received the news that before my father's death, the edict left behind by the emperor stated that he would pass the throne to me, second brother, you are so bold that you dare to be overbearing. ”
The eldest prince was upright, as if representing the principles of Zhao Zhao, and rebuked him painfully: "Your behavior is perverse, and if you don't stop, you will definitely cut yourself off from the royal family, the country, and the world." ”
