beggar prince

In the second watch, thick dark clouds gathered in the dark sky, the wind suddenly picked up, the ginkgo trees rustled in the wind, the doors and windows creaked, and soon there was a desolate and cold autumn rain, which turned the golden leaves Pieces fell down one by one, and gradually pattered on the bluestone road.The lights in the general's mansion gradually went out, making it look lonely and desolate.

In the general building, Zhao Shengqi waited anxiously for King Zuo Xian. He had an appointment with Zhao Shengqi that day and came to visit tonight, but he saw that it was raining non-stop, so he might not be able to come.He was eager to know what the careerist King Zuo Xian wanted to talk to him in secret.

At this time, two soaked men in black appeared at the door, one of them had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with a sly gleam in his eyes.Zhao Shengqi stood up to meet him, and said, "King Zuoxian, you are finally here."

King Zuo Xian went to the hall and sat down, looked at Zhao Shengqi playfully, and said, "It's raining really hard, but it's just good to avoid the Imperial Forest Army in the palace."

Zhao Shengqi hurriedly brought him two bowls of hot tea, and he said, "Why did you come to the General's Mansion secretly?"

King Zuo Xian took a sip leisurely, and said, "I'm here to ask the general if he still wants to be the emperor of Wei."

Zhao Shengqi's deep eyes shone with desire, and he said: "King Zuo Xian, you are trying to sow discord between me and the Queen Mother."

Zuo Xianwang sat crookedly on the wooden chair, laughed out loud, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and he said: "Your jackal ambition is known to all passers-by. I don't know any of the things you did, you If you dare to control the ex-prince, why don't you dare. It just so happens that I am also such a person, so we might as well make friends."

Zhao Shengqi stepped forward quickly and said, "What does Zuo Xianwang want to do?"

King Zuoxian said: "In the future, I will become the Great Khan, and you and I will cooperate with each other. I will take the land of Mongolia and Liaodong. But you will rebel and take over the world of Wei."

Zhao Shengqi said darkly, "You don't just want Mongolia and Liaodong."

King Zuo Xian taunted: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although you are a great general and hold the military power of the Wei Dynasty, the Queen Mother is shrewd and capable. How many of the Queen Mother's confidantes are in the barracks? You are not her opponent. If you don't join hands with me , when will you be able to become the real dragon emperor, you are 50 years old this year!"

Zhao Shengqi thought that I really didn't want to wait any longer, and he made up his mind."I promise you," he said.

King Zuo Xian thought of the prince, he raised the corner of his mouth and said: "You will give the prince to me in the future."

Zhao Shengqi let out a gloomy laugh, and said, "I'll send him to you the day I plot against you."

Zhao Shengqi asked: "When do you plan to attack Great Wei? I hope you can do it sooner. I can't wait. Then I will give you the map of Great Wei's border."

King Zuo Xian sipped his tea leisurely. He said, "Why are you in a hurry. It will take at least three or four years. After I have won the position of Great Khan and the government is stable, I will send troops to Wei."

King Zuo Xian stood up, covered his face with a black cloth, bowed his head to Zhao Shengqi, and saluted with fists.Zhao Shengqi said goodbye to him with a sly smile.King Zuo Xian jumped onto the roof with his guards and disappeared soon after.

Zhao Shengqi put away his smile in an instant.At this time, Bing Yong walked in with a thin old man wearing a black shirt embroidered with Miao Jiang and wearing a bamboo hat.He saluted Zhao Shengqi and took off his hat.Zhao Shengqi saw evil in the old man's eyes.

Zhao Shengqi was overjoyed and rushed over to meet him, he said: "Please sit down, Pharmacist, you told me to look for it, I have been looking for you for ten years."

The pharmacist sat down and asked, "Why did the general invite me here?"

Zhao Shengqi asked Bing Yong to bring 10 taels of silver notes, and he said, "I heard that you have medicine that can control people's hearts."

He has always wanted to make Lin Heng a 'string puppet', and it was just a stopgap measure for him to ask Zhao Yuanjian to take Lin Heng in.Now that he wants to rebel, he will no longer be polite to Lin Heng.

The Gu Master looked at the bank note with a greedy gleam in his eyes.He said: "I do have a kind of medicine, but this medicine is very harmful to the body. After using it for less than three years, it is like a disabled person. After three years, I don't need to take it anymore. Although he can talk and walk, he has completely lost his emotion. Zhi. At your command, like a marionette."

Zhao Shengqi asked: "How to use this medicine?"

The pharmacist gave Zhao Shengqi a jar containing hundreds of pills.Instruct him to swallow ten pills every two months.

Zhao Shengqi said: "You stay in the capital for a few days, I invite you to take a tour."

The pharmacist put away the banknote, and said, "You're welcome, I still have things to do."

Zhao Shengqi clenched his fists and said, "Pharmacist, go slowly."

As soon as the pharmacist walked out, Zhao Shengqi chased him out with a sword and stabbed the pharmacist to death.He smiled and thought: How can I let others know that the general will poison the prince.

Bing Yong carried the body down and burned it clean.

Zhao Shengqi thought: Zhao Yuanjian, a rebellious son, should be taught a lesson.He was disobedient and fell in love with that foolish prince like glue.He can go all out against the queen mother for the prince and Zuo Xianwang, and he will betray me for the prince in the future.If you don't care about him, there will be big troubles.

He walked into Mrs. Zhao's yard with a sword in his hand. Mrs. Zhao smiled when she saw him coming. He hadn't set foot in this yard for 17 years.She hurriedly came forward and saluted Zhao Shengqi, she smiled coquettishly and said: "Hey, master, what brought you here?" She helped Zhao Shengqi take off his coat, and let the servant girl watch tea.

Zhao Shengqi sat down and said: "It's not your incompetent son who dares to have an affair with the crown prince."

Mrs. Zhao quickly asked: "Who is the prince? Isn't there only the little emperor? How could he have a prince?"

Zhao Shengqi took a sip of tea and put it aside again. He stood up and looked at Mrs. Zhao. He said, "I want to borrow something from you tonight."

Mrs. Zhao looked at him coquettishly, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, leaned forward and back together with a smile, and said, "My lord, if you borrow [-] items, I will agree."

Zhao Shengqi looked at this vulgar woman with disdain, her face was covered with wrinkles, she was no longer young, what was left of him was disgust.He said: "Madam, then I will not be polite."

He put the sword on the table, Mrs. Zhao looked at the gem-studded sword curiously, and said, "It's really a rare sword."

Zhao Shengqi picked up the sword, pulled it out, and said, "Madam, put your hand on the table."

Mrs. Zhao hooked Zhao Shengqi's eyes, and she asked: "Is the master staying tonight?"

Zhao Shengqi: "Not staying."

As he spoke, he picked up the sword and slashed at Mrs. Zhao's hand. Mrs. Zhao stared and bared her teeth, watching him cut off her hand with the sword. The hand, which was as white as jade, fell to the ground, and the blood was like a spring. gurgling out.There was a sharp pain in her chest, not to mention the piercing pain on her wrist, which made her twitch all over.She knelt down on the ground and crawled out of the house, her eyes darkened and she passed out.The maids in the room were so frightened by this scene that their faces turned green and their lips turned pale, and they all turned their faces away to cry softly.

A doctor came in, saluted Zhao Shengqi, and then knelt down to stop Mrs. Zhao's bleeding.

Zhao Yuanjian took an umbrella and hurried into the general's mansion.He excitedly ran to his mansion, he thought he wanted Lin Heng tonight.Zhao Yuanjian lifted the door curtain, bringing a burst of coolness.Just as Lu Liu was about to say hello, Zhao Yuanjian raised his finger and hissed, and he whispered, "You all go out."

Lu Liu blushed when she heard that, and she led the maids out.

Lin Heng washed his face, sat on the bed, and was about to go to bed.As soon as he grabbed the quilt, he was torn off by Zhao Yuanjian who rushed in and threw it to the ground.Lin Heng looked at Zhao Yuanjian in panic, feeling something unclear in his eyes.I think he is very dangerous tonight.He thought he had caused a catastrophe, and the young master was here to beat him up.

Zhao Yuanjian dragged him out, pulled off his pants, and said with a smile: "I'll check if you were taken advantage of that day."

At this time, a soldier walked into the room bravely, and Zhao Yuanjian pulled down the bed curtain to block Lin Heng.

He bowed to Zhao Yuanjian: "Young master, the general invites you to visit Madam."

Zhao Yuanjian immediately became cold. He knew that his father would never forgive him. He was impulsive in the palace that day and showed his deep feelings for Lin Heng. There was a bitter taste in his mouth.

Zhao Yuanjian let go of Lin Heng, opened the curtain and walked out.Lin Heng got out of bed, he was a little worried, what Zhao Shengqi said to him that day still made him shudder.

Zhao Yuanjian felt uneasy, the branches scratched his face and robe along the way, and he didn't even notice that the sound of Peng Peng's heartbeat was accompanied by his ears.

He walked into his mother's room and saw that Zhao Shengqi was wiping a bloody sword. He sneered and said, "My obedient son is back?"

Zhao Yuanjian looked at the bloody sword and panicked.He knelt down and said: "Father, please punish, don't embarrass mother. I shouldn't have done anything to King Zuo Xian, I was just afraid that he would take the prince away."

Zhao Shengqi laughed loudly, and said, "You're just lying to the ignorant boy, you like the prince."

Zhao Yuanjian broke out in a cold sweat, he said: "How dare I go against my father's wishes, I am your dog."

Zhao Shengqi sneered, and he said: "You will never see the prince again, I have found a better way to control him, hahaha..."

Zhao Yuanjian asked in a panic, "What did you do to him?"

Zhao Shengqi stood up, pointed at Zhao Yuanjian with his sword, and said, "You don't need to know, you just need to be obedient, and I will guarantee you to be a prince or even a prince."

Zhao Shengqi dipped a sweat towel into the copper basin, wrung it dry and continued to wipe the sword. The copper basin was full of red blood.He wiped it very carefully. He leaned down to see if there was any blood on the place where he wiped it, and then raised it up to the sun to look at the sword.

Zhao Yuanjian was frightened, he was afraid that something might happen to his mother.Zhao Shengqi said: "Mrs. Wu, bring some delicacies and invite him to taste."

Wu Yuxiang brought out a food box, her face was extremely pale and haggard, she put the plate on the table with shaking hands, and ran out crying.Zhao Yuanjian shouted in panic, "Where is mother, what did you do to her?"

Zhao Shengqi picked up the sword and wiped it again, his eyes were full of sarcasm, he said: "You will know when you open it."

As soon as Zhao Yuanjian opened it, he saw that there was a hand in the plate, with an emerald ring on the finger, and blood was still flowing.Zhao Yuanjian yelled, his voice extremely desolate.He flew out a silver whip from his sleeve and threw it at Zhao Shengqi.Zhao Shengqi snatched the silver whip with a few smiles, and sent Zhao Yuanjian flying into the wall with one punch.He said: "Little bastard, if you dare to do something to your father, if you do it again, I will make your prince's life worse than death!"

This punch made Zhao Yuanjian dizzy, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.Crawled on the ground and couldn't get up.

Seeing that he was intimidated by himself, Zhao Shengqi said with a smile: "You must not be in love with the prince. If you are in love with him, you will betray me. You are my son and you must obey my will. If you are disobedient, I will kill you." Your mother's arms and thighs were removed. Feed the prince to torture him day and night."

Zhao Yuanjian said: "I am your son, why are you so cruel?"

Zhao Yuanjian laughed wildly. He said: "In front of power, there are no fathers and sons, no brothers. It is normal for me to do this. The same is true for your queen mother aunt. She said that when the prince came back, she could only make him abolish the prince. The puppet emperor is miserable, hahahahaha...don't try to sue the queen mother about me, she will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

After he finished speaking, he left in a huff. He thought that these four sons were not worry-free, and he wanted to have a few more sons. After he ascended the throne, he would choose a prince properly.

It took Zhao Yuanjian a long time to get up, and he ran into his mother's bedroom, only to see that her lips were bloodless, and she was leaning weakly against the head of the bed, with a white cloth wrapped around one wrist.Zhao Yuanjian seemed to be stabbed by thousands of arrows. He walked up to his mother, hugged her in his arms, and burst into tears.

Mrs. Zhao: "My son, you are finally back. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhao Yuanjian touched her face regretfully, she was emaciated beyond human form, her body was extremely weak, and her breath was weak.She said: "My son, you should break up with the prince. Your father is very angry. I'm afraid you will be killed by him."

Zhao Yuanjian sobbed and said: "Your child is unfilial, and you have suffered such crimes. I'm going to kill Zhao Shengqi right now! Just wait."

As she said that, she drew out the sword on her body. When Mrs. Zhao saw it, she suddenly fell off the bed. She shouted: "You can't beat him, even if all your elder brothers put together, they are no match for him."

Zhao Yuanjian hurriedly picked her up and put her on the bed. Mrs. Zhao grabbed his hand and said, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. You have to be patient. If you kill him, your mother will not live. The Zhao family will not let you go." Let me go, think about how they will torture me."

Zhao Yuanjian threw down the sword and mourned. He thought that if the eldest brother and second brother were as powerful, his mother would not suffer this kind of punishment.He clenched his fists and beat the bed board hard.

Lin Heng walked slowly, he had just entered the room, and he heard crying in the wife's room.He hurried into the bedroom, and as soon as he saw Mrs. Zhao lying on the bed with her hands gone, he asked in shock, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Heng saw Zhao Yuanjian crying on the bed, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, threw himself on Zhao Yuanjian, and asked, "What's going on? Did the master do it?"

Zhao Yuanjian almost smashed the bed board, and the skin on his hands was cracked.Lin Heng hurriedly grabbed his hand, he turned over Zhao Yuanjian's face, and saw that Zhao Yuanjian's eyes were bloodshot.Lin Heng hugged him heartbroken.Zhao Yuanjian pushed him away and said, "Follow me out for a walk."

Zhao Yuanjian wiped his face with his sleeve and staggered out of the yard. Lin Heng followed him worriedly and walked out of the general's mansion.
