Chapter 722: The secret guards protect the king and are attacked. Jiayang stops fighting, Qin Zheng
From then on, they no longer dared to stop the two princes from visiting the old king so diligently.
It was because the two princes were kind-hearted, otherwise, if they were dragged to a corner of the palace and killed directly, their deaths would have been in vain, and the court officials would not have been able to find out who did it.
Even if it was found out that the two princes did it, it would be useless without evidence. Moreover, they died in vain, so what would it matter if they found out who the murderer was?
In order to save their lives, the guards would simply ask whether the two princes had the prince's consent when they saw them coming in or out.
As long as the two princes said that the crown prince agreed, they would not need any imperial edicts and would just let them go.
They were so easy to talk to that the third and fourth princes were very puzzled. Why did these guards suddenly become so easy to talk to?
No matter what, being able to come and go freely to visit my father is a great thing and something I couldn't ask for more.
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan could not have imagined that their elusive behavior would have such an unexpected result. They really helped the old king and the two princes unintentionally.
As time went by, the old king gradually recovered.
On this day, the third prince and the fourth prince came to the palace to take care of their father as usual.
After taking the detoxification pills, the old king called his two sons to his side and said with gratitude: "You two princes have worked so hard during this period. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid your father wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
The two princes quickly said modestly: "This is our filial duty as sons, father, don't worry about it."
The old king nodded slightly, then changed the subject: "However, the fact that you often go in and out of the palace has been known to the crown prince. He has ordered that you are not allowed to come in and out freely."
The two princes looked at each other and thought to themselves that it was not good. However, although they had a few words when they came in today, they were still allowed to pass. It seems that these guards are not that loyal to the prince!
"Father, what should we do? We can't abandon you." The fourth prince said anxiously.
"I have an idea." The third prince's eyes lit up, "We can find a secret guard with good Qinggong skills to take care of father every day."
So, after the two princes returned, they each called two of their own secret guards who were particularly good at martial arts. There were four people in total, two were responsible for keeping watch outside, and two were responsible for taking care of the old king to prevent outsiders from poisoning his food again.
That night, the four of them sneaked into the palace under the cover of darkness and fed the old king dinner and medicine.
In this way, they continued to take care of the old king in secret, and the prince never found out.
By the seventh day, the old king was able to get out of bed and walk freely, and his diet had returned to normal.
However, they kept it a secret from others. However, the good times did not last long. One night, when the secret guards were delivering food to the old king as usual, they were suddenly attacked by a group of mysterious people.
These masked mysterious men were highly skilled in martial arts and magic. The four secret guards were also masters of martial arts, but facing ten masters of magic, they tried their best to resist.
But in the end, they still couldn't drive away the opponent who cast spells. They were all injured. The masked mysterious man was less seriously injured, but because the secret guards had made preparations in advance, it was not so easy for the masked mysterious man to assassinate the king and kill the four secret guards.
The two sides fought back and forth, and the secret guards used protective magic spells to protect the king.
At the same time, they used martial arts to attack the enemy and avoid the enemy's magical attacks; at the same time, they seized the opportunity to use drugs and hidden weapons to resist the enemy's fierce attacks.
Although one of the secret guards was seriously injured, he managed to escape. He first asked for help from the palace guards.
The guards did not dare to act on their own and had to ask for the commander's order. When the guards rushed to the king's bedroom, the injured secret guard returned to the palace to report the situation to the third prince.
When the two princes learned that the palace was attacked by a mysterious person, they were shocked. They realized that they had to take action as soon as possible, otherwise the safety of the old king would be threatened.
After discussion, they decided to sneak into the palace with more secret guards to find out the truth and rescue the old king. At the same time, they also planned to step up the training of their men in case of emergency.
The two princes quickly led a group of elite men and quietly entered the palace...
When the two princes arrived at the palace, they saw their father lying in bed again, looking sick.
They walked up quickly to ask about their father's health. The old king did not answer, looking very weak and unable to even lift his eyes.
The two princes were terrified. They knelt in front of their father's window and cried, "Father, how come you are so sick? Did someone try to harm you and drug you?"
The two princes held the old king's hand. At this moment, they felt the old king's hand quietly exerting force, suggesting that they should not speak casually.
The two princes understood and immediately changed their conversation, crying and lamenting that the king was so weak and what should they do?
The secret guards brought by the two princes divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some of them were protecting the princes and the king, while others were quietly checking around to see if there were any assassins hiding in the dark, or servants who secretly poisoned the old king.
Sometimes the old king and the two princes lamented loudly and said irrelevant words. Sometimes they talked secretly in voices that only the three of them could hear about what happened in the palace yesterday after the mysterious people were defeated by the secret guards.
A mysterious masked man suddenly appeared beside the old king, intending to kill the old king and the secret guards. This is a big deal.
Prince Jiayang immediately rushed over with two hundred guards and asked about the cause and effect of the incident in a very nervous manner.
He learned that the third and fourth princes had sent people to protect their father. It happened that a mysterious masked man came to assassinate the king.
During the battle with the mysterious man, one secret guard escaped to deliver a letter, while the other three secret guards fought with all their might to protect the king's safety.
It was not until the soldiers responsible for guarding the outer perimeter of the palace came to help that they were able to fight off the masked mysterious man. Currently, all four secret guards, including the messenger, were seriously injured and bedridden. A dozen other guards were slightly injured.
This result made the third and fourth princes worried, so they brought secret guards to protect the king.
Prince Jiayang was very angry. He said: "In order to protect my father, I have sent many people to guard the palace, but I still couldn't resist the attack of the mysterious masked man. I also couldn't stop the secret guards of my two younger brothers from breaking into the palace.
It seems that my father is no longer suitable to live in the palace. It seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact it is full of loopholes. Anyone can break in. My father's safety is not guaranteed.
I suggest that we send our father to a secret place to rest and send two thousand soldiers to guard him day and night.
This palace will have a fake king, just for show, so if someone comes to assassinate him, there is no need to worry about the safety of my father. "
The proposal of Prince Jiayang was rejected by the two princes. The reason was that they and the secret guards did not come to the palace to break in privately, but came with the consent of their father to secretly protect him.
In addition, the reason why the mysterious figure was able to break in was because the number of guards posted around the palace was insufficient.
If they want to protect their father's safety, the three brothers can each send their trusted men to take turns guarding their father day and night. As for other soldiers, they can send more guards and station them outside the palace.
This is much more convenient and safer than letting my frail father go to an unfamiliar place to recuperate.
The third and fourth princes sincerely want to protect their father's safety, but Crown Prince Jiayang has other plans.
He wanted the king to leave the palace so that he would have the final say in the entire palace.
The king lived in the sphere of influence of Prince Jiayang for a while. His health was not good to begin with, and a small amount of poison was used to destroy his health.
In this way, the king could be allowed to delay for a while, and then it would be announced to the public that although the royal doctors tried their best to treat him, the king's body was beyond cure and he could no longer hold on.
When the emperor was in danger, he had already issued an oral decree ordering Prince Jiayang to succeed him. Thus, Prince Jiayang could legitimately ascend the throne.
The king and the two princes knew the prince very well. The false appearance and clumsy schemes of Prince Jiayang could no longer deceive them. Therefore, the two princes firmly disagreed with Prince Jiayang's decision.
The three brothers even quarreled, with the third and fourth princes and Prince Jiayang blaming each other for faults.
The third and fourth princes accused the crown prince of sending his men to look after the king poorly, which led to the king's near death. Such accusations could not be refuted, and the crown prince had to admit it. However, the fact that the king was given a slow-acting poison could not be exposed now.
First, there is no evidence to prove that the old king was poisoned. Even if a miracle doctor is found to prove that the king was poisoned, it is impossible to prove that the person who poisoned the king was instructed by Prince Jiayang.
There is also the possibility that they will be bitten back, saying that the two princes sent their secret guards to protect the king in a false way, but in fact they secretly hated the king for giving up the crown prince position to his two brothers, and they had ambitions but no chance. Therefore, they secretly harmed the king and then framed Prince Jiayang.
Therefore, the matter of poisoning the old king cannot be made public without sufficient evidence.
Prince Jiayang certainly would not be so foolish as to bring up the matter of someone giving the king a chronic poison.
Therefore, when Prince Jiayang was accused of failing to protect the king, he could only refute that his father was fine before. It was only after the two brothers broke into the palace that a mysterious person came to assassinate the king.
Therefore, the responsibility does not lie entirely with Prince Jiayang, his two younger brothers also have to take responsibility.
The mutual accusations were not intended to clarify who was responsible, but everyone wanted to drag the other party into the water. No one could escape the responsibility, so the three of them could only discuss together the next protective measures for the palace and the king.
The three brothers, who were originally at odds with each other, discussed the personnel arrangements for the palace guards. During this process, the third and fourth princes argued hard and won the right to visit their father at any time.
The third and fourth princes decided to wait and pretend to accept the proposal of Prince Jiayang. At the same time, they were also secretly investigating the identity of the mysterious man and the mastermind behind it.
In the following days, the third and fourth princes mobilized more people under the pretext of strengthening the defense of the palace. On the surface, they were cooperating with Prince Jiayang, but in fact they were making plans.
Prince Jiayang thought his plan was perfect and began to feel complacent. However, he did not know that the third and fourth princes had already noticed his conspiracy.
The third and fourth princes always pretended to be not very smart but pretended to be smart. They acted very attentively. They acted high-profile and were complacent with a little achievement. They ordered their subordinates around and were arrogant and self-indulgent.
Such behavior made Prince Jiayang relax his newly-built vigilance.
He changed his original plan. Since the two younger brothers wanted to get involved, then let them do as they wish. When their father died in the future, there would be someone to share the responsibility with him.
Prince Jiayang wanted to pass the blame to his two younger brothers.
After this incident, Prince Jiayang re-examined his two grown brothers. In the past, he did not take these two naive, cowardly and stupid brothers seriously.
Now, he still didn't take them seriously. However, he felt that these two brothers who just thought they had grown up were gifts from God, and they were the best candidates to take the blame.
After all, if he wanted to secure his position as king, be loved by the people, and have the wholehearted support of other tribes, he could not leave any traces of evil deeds on the surface. Therefore, these two younger brothers were the best candidates to take over his responsibilities at this time.
