Bastards

With his back to the door, Emperor Taikang made small movements and moved his slightly stiff body. Eunuch Gao, the chief eunuch, waved to the outside of the hall, and at the same time picked up the teacup on the table to serve Emperor Taikang to drink.

The tea will be held in the hands of Emperor Taikang, before entering, a group of eunuchs outside the hall have already entered with all kinds of clothes.

They didn't make a sound when they came in, they all lowered their heads and eyes, their feet were so light that they couldn't catch a breath of wind, they saluted swiftly, retreated into the room in two rows, and waited quietly.

After drinking a cup of tea, Emperor Taikang sighed comfortably, handed the tea cup back to Eunuch Gao, and shook his hands gently.

All right, needless to say, this means that you can change your clothes.

Eunuch Gao has served Emperor Taikang for many years, and he understands the hidden meaning of all kinds of small actions best. Without Taikang's order, he has already cleaned his hands and saluted, and came up to untie Taikang's clothes.

He moved lightly and quickly at first, and took off the belt.

As soon as his waist was loosened, Emperor Taikang felt more comfortable, his eyes slightly closed, and he let out a long sigh.

"The slave serves the emperor..."

"En." Emperor Taikang knew that he was going to untie his lapel, and raised his chin in cooperation.

Eunuch Gao is a bit older, and his height is also a bit shorter than Taikang Emperor, but his hands are very steady, and his movements are also very brisk. Everywhere he passes, he is like a butterfly flicking, and the buttons are released in response. Taikang Emperor does not even feel it. No.

This old dog, among other things, can't even compare to a noble concubine with his skill in serving others.

But the imperial concubine changed his clothes for fun. When he lowered his head slightly, he could see the imperial concubine's beautiful face, beautiful shoulders and neck lines, and... billowy chest.

Thinking about it makes me feel distracted, and my mouth is dry.

The imperial concubine is different from ordinary fresh and tender girls. She is not so thin-skinned, not so tight-tempered, has many tricks, can play and scream, and serves better than others...

Emperor Taikang was looking beautiful, thinking whether he should touch the imperial concubine, when Eunuch Gao took off his outer robe.

With a soft "click", something fell to the ground.

Eunuch Gao has never made such a low-level mistake.

Emperor Taikang looked a little unhappy.

Just as he was about to reprimand, he looked down and saw what was on the ground, and his expression became even worse.

"This is... this is... Yan Sheng!"

Eunuch Gao was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and hit his head heavily on the ground.

The surrounding people knelt down, and those who didn't react had their mouths covered, their short screams were muffled, and they fell to their knees with a "plop", tears streaming down their faces, and the corners of their mouths were covered with blood.

Emperor Taikang's face was frighteningly dark, with veins popping out of his forehead, and his brain turned black and painful...

At this moment, he was so angry that he couldn't even make a sound for the first time, and his hand pointing at the things on the ground trembled a little.

Outside the main hall, there are accompanying guards guarding it.

The Imperial Guards have a clear division of labor, and the division of responsibilities is very clear. Watching the outside, regardless of the inside, watching the inside, it is necessary to keep an eye on the safety of the emperor from time to time, to ensure that there are no accidents, and even if there is an accident, it must be guaranteed as soon as possible. The emperor is safe, otherwise a big mistake will be made, and no one will live.

Suddenly there was a strange sound in the room, and then the old eunuch shouted the word 'Yan Sheng', and there was a short scream in the room, which was obviously blocked by covering his mouth...

what is this?

This is something!

A group of imperial guards rushed in immediately: Escort!

The imperial guards moved and rested in the side hall, and the princes who were waiting for Emperor Taikang to change clothes would naturally pretend not to see them, jumping up one by one, jumping faster than a rabbit: "Father—father—— "

For a moment, the corner of the robe fluttered, and there were human heads everywhere.

"Presumptuous... presumptuous!"

Emperor Taikang only wore his middle clothes, raised his brows and looked angry, and scolded loudly. He didn't know whether he was scolding the people who made things on the ground, or he was scolding those who rushed in. It's not a big deal. He will definitely expose the whole thing and let everyone We all know the Janissaries and princes.

The guards were dumbfounded when they saw the things on the ground.

There is danger, and it is considered an accident, but it does not immediately affect Emperor Taikang's life.

King Yue and King Chang were even more stupid when they saw it.

The wooden doll was carved almost exactly like Emperor Taikang, with pure black pupils, no whites, and blood-smeared lips, which were terribly bright red, and what was even more horrifying, was smiling.

The wooden doll was wearing a dragon robe, with Emperor Taikang's birth date written on it, with dark red blood stains on its chest, and several needles stuck in it.

Those needles penetrated all the way, not because of deep hatred and deep hatred, it is impossible to do so absolutely.

This is... someone is cursing the father?

Want father to die?

A feeling of cold lips and teeth rushed into my heart, and the eyes of the two brothers were very consistent. They both took a step back and looked at the wooden doll as if they were looking at some terrible beast. They couldn't be shocked for a while.

There were so many people rushing into the hall, even the imperial guards and the prince took the prince's side to serve, the outside of the hall was empty, and those farther away found something wrong, and they were still running here...

Emperor Taikang didn't need to think too much, he knew that this matter could not be hidden.

Since you can't hide it, you don't have to hold your temper.

This Da'an, his world, someone wants him to die, and plots against him!

Emperor Taikang kicked over the table, his eyes were red with anger, like a trapped animal: "Who! Who did it!"

Whether the person who did this was present or not, everyone present was shocked, and no one could answer what he said.

Among the group of people, only Yang Xuan was pretending. He knew what happened from the beginning to the end, and he also knew why, but he didn't say anything, and followed the actions of others, acting very similarly.

Of course, even if the acting skills are not good, it doesn't matter, everyone is looking at the wooden doll on the ground, and no one is distracted to pay attention to him!

Eunuch Gao was bold enough to put a handkerchief on his hands, and picked up the wooden doll. He didn't get close to Taikang Emperor, and stood far away, and took a closer look with the imperial guards: "Your Majesty... there is nothing on this thing. Traces, no way out."

Emperor Taikang sneered: "The thing that harms me, is there still a note on it, writing your name?"

"I got this thing when I changed clothes when I went to the temple. It must have been done by the people who accompanied me!" He slapped the table hard with a "bang", his eyes slid past the crowd, his eyes darkened, "What the hell is that?" Whoever stands up by himself, I can still leave a way for you to survive, otherwise—”

When the emperor was furious, corpses littered the field!

Everyone's heart trembled.

This slap was slapped hard, it was clearly hitting their faces instead of hitting the table!

Along the way, the emperor followed closely, besides eunuchs and maids, noble concubines, princes, and the accompanying guards.Right now, almost ninety percent of the people are in this room. The emperor is right, the person who strikes is likely to be here!

What's the use of killing the emperor with the Nightmare Victory Curse?

Forget about the maids and eunuchs, as well as the imperial guards, they all come out to make a living, so what kind of hatred can there be?To please an emperor is enough to put in effort, kill the emperor, and then another one will continue to vomit blood and work hard to gain trust?With that time, he could have been promoted and raised a long time ago.

Comparing everywhere, it seems that the princes... are very suspicious.

The emperor is gone, who will benefit the most?Of course he is the prince, do you have a chance to become the next emperor?

Prepare everything, and then think hard to come out like this... It seems to be very plausible?

In a short while, the eyes that fell on the princes were wrong...

Concubine Tian Gui is a person with big ideas, smart and assertive, she made this wooden doll to frame the prince, but she didn't tell her two sons.I also thought that if the two sons don't know, the performance can be more real and more convincing.The two of Sui Yuechang didn't know about it, they were really shocked, and they really didn't know what to do.

This thing hasn't been changed, it's okay to say that the two of them can act according to the script arranged by Concubine Tian Gui, but if things are changed...it's hard to say.

Concubine Tian Gui was mistaken for her cleverness this time, and shot herself in the foot with a rock.

King Chang of Yue didn't want to turn things around at all, and turn things around in a good direction. What they thought was, no matter who did it, the most important thing right now is to get rid of themselves and never let the suspicion fall on them. superior!

King Yue was still thinking about it, and King Chang first thought of the reason: "My son thinks who will benefit the most from this matter, who is the most suspicious, who is in the right now, and who is most anxious..."

He looked serious, and quickly glanced at the prince from the corner of his eyes: "Anyone may be the one to attack!"

It's still a bit of conscience, at least the first time, he poked the arrow at the prince.

The bottom of King Yue's eyes warmed up slightly, thinking, this brother, is there... a possibility of redemption?

At such a time, it would be a fool not to follow, King Yue immediately stood on the same front as King Chang, and stepped forward: "I think the emperor's brother is right, father, whoever will benefit the most from this matter will be the most suspect!"

Yang Xuan is in charge of the crown prince, and he is known as a half-lord outside. He has made great achievements, and the people's hearts are in his favor. The only thing that is far from the great position is a dead father.

How reasonable and reasonable it is for Yan Sheng to curse Emperor Taikang to death!

The two of Yuechang are very much in the same mood at the moment, and for the first time after their quarrel, they looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and their eyes were full of comfort.

This, in fact, is also one of the purposes of Concubine Tian Gui bothering to do this game.

The fact that the two sons were fighting in the same room really made her heartbroken. If there is a chance for the two to unite and speak to the outside world, it may have unexpected results.

If she sees this scene, she must be very pleased...

The prince with several arrows stuck in his body expressed his innocence, and knelt in front of Emperor Taikang: "Between heaven and earth, filial piety is the righteousness. My son and minister dare not accept this crime. Please investigate thoroughly!" He has straight eyebrows, sharp eyes, The whole person is like a wolf ready to go, "If my son finds out who did it, he must be skinned and cramped, and he will eat blood and dig out his bones—"

He glanced at Yuechang and the two of them, they couldn't help but shuddered, and they both trembled.

No, they can't be afraid of the prince, this matter must be settled on the prince!

The two knelt down in unison: "The prince jumped out before my son pointed out, obviously guilty!"

"The crown prince's suspicion is very serious, I beg my father to put him in prison first, and then conduct a detailed investigation to find evidence!"

Emperor Taikang's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes wandered between the three sons, and finally settled on the prince.

"you--"

Just after saying a word, Eunuch Gao, who was studying with a wooden doll, exclaimed in a low voice.

Emperor Taikang frowned and looked over: "Why panic!"

Eunuch Gao's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly glanced over several princes. He didn't dare to speak directly, but only looked at Emperor Taikang: "Your Majesty...I'm afraid I have to ask you to take a look at this thing yourself."

"Bring it up!"

Eunuch Gao bowed and handed the wooden doll to Emperor Taikang carefully and respectfully.

Yang Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, and quietly winked at a remote corner of the hall.

Since it is such a coincidence, there is no need for him to make another move...

Emperor Taikang took the wooden doll, and at a glance he recognized the fabric under the dragon robe that Eunuch Gao deliberately exposed.

It is the plain satin that was newly tributed a few days ago.

This year's new technology, good things, comfortable and soft, exquisite workmanship, and, very good.

In the entire palace, except for his treasury, only the noble concubine and the king of Yue have it.

The honor and disgrace of the noble concubine rests with him all her life. It is impossible to do this after all these years of love and harmony, so——

Emperor Taikang's gaze was like an eagle, and he locked the King of Yue.

"If you still want to frame others, why don't you explain it yourself, what's the matter with this plain satin!" He threw the wooden doll in front of the King of Yue, "I remember clearly, this thing is only you have!"

King Yue's heart skipped a beat.

He picked up the wooden doll, and seeing the plain satin, he almost fainted.

He often wears it these days, he is too familiar with this material, he can tell at a glance that it is really plain satin!

This plain satin is owned by the emperor, mother and concubine, and he has...

Is this jumping into the river and you can't wash it off?

King Yue's mind was very confused for a while, and he couldn't come up with any powerful counterattack, so he just kowtowed: "I beg father and emperor to be clear, it wasn't my minister...it wasn't my son's fault!"

Yang Xuan put on the costume again, and looked at Emperor Taikang aggrievedly, then turned to stare at King Yue, with a serious tone: "King Yue is very capable, he did such a rebellious thing, not only did he not reflect on it when it happened, but he also acted alone. Pushing on the head——Gu is here today, if Gu is not here, who are you going to push? Huh?"

The King of Yue roared angrily: "It's not me! It's not me!"

When King Chang saw this scene, his eyes widened.

He didn't do this, the father is so mature, it is impossible to harm himself, the mother and concubine respect the father the most, if he really has that thought, why wait until now?It must not be the mother concubine.The prince...the prince can't get plain satin.

Whether it is the king of Yue or the concubine, the crown prince is the most guarded. If it is about stealing, anyone can steal it, but the crown prince cannot.

So this thing...was really made by King Yue?

Is Yue Wang so impatient?

Really... the courage to swallow the sky!

It's a shame that he just pointed his sword at the prince and helped the king of Yue!

If the father believes that he is indeed the king of Yue, then did he nail himself as an accomplice when he just helped?

At any rate, he saved the last bit of brotherhood, and wanted to help the king of Yue, but he didn't expect that the king of Yue would really dare to do it. Not only did he not push away to hurt him, but he also agreed that he would drag him to die together!

He didn't like the prince, but the prince was right. The prince was here today, so the king of Yue bit back. If the prince was not here, would the matter be blamed on himself?

As the most beloved younger brother, it is very possible to get this plain silk!

King Chang came out in a fit of anger. He was also angry, and in order to push away the suspicion, he directly yelled at King Yue: "I thought you just looked down on me, but I didn't expect you to even dare to kill the emperor! How long, although you have made some small achievements, your foundation is not stable... You, you are deluded by lard, and want to do that big thing!"

This reminder is so right.

No matter how capable the prince is, no matter how popular the people are, even if he has made great contributions at the Fengyun Conference, after all, the time to return to Luoyang is short, and now he has a team to make connections, how much can he do?

On the other hand, the king of Yue, since he was born, has been helped by the imperial concubine and empress to plan. Over the years, he has gone step by step, walking extremely steadily, and his men have countless strengths.If the crown prince does not return, he can still argue with Emperor Taikang. Once the crown prince returns, he will stand up, so he has to be in a hurry?

However, Emperor Taikang has no intention of abolishing the prince for the time being!

Emperor Taikang didn't do anything, he had to do it himself...

Taking advantage of the young prince's fledgling, to get rid of Emperor Taikang, the horizontal bar strength, he must be the one who ascends the throne!Winner and loser, once he succeeds in ascending the throne, other things will be easy to handle...

Everyone present, including Emperor Taikang, immediately understood the hidden meaning of King Chang's words, and looked at King Yue more and more unkindly.

At the right time, he glanced at the prince with pity and comfort.

It's really pitiful, almost being used as a gun again.

Yang Xuan continued to act, clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were red, and he made a look of grief and indignation, staring fiercely at King Yue.

King Yue was a little dazed, his eyes looking at King Chang changed from bewildered to gloomy and angry.

This is brother!

From the beginning to the end, people didn't treat him as an older brother, they just wanted to mess with him!

He didn't know who made this wooden doll, but he knew it wasn't him, but if someone deliberately used it to mess with him... the prince is unlikely, not to mention whether he can get the plain satin, it's not the prince's style to act like this.

Here, there may be King Chang's handwriting!

If you dare to mess with him, he will dare to go back!

What kind of brother is not a brother, didn't you see through it a long time ago?A bit of false hypocrisy, Xu is just to lure him in, he is really an idiot bastard!

King Yue secretly scolded himself for being blind, and stopped attacking others, and directly turned back to King Chang: "You think so that I did it, and you can't wait to step on it, but you have a guilty conscience? It's true that this thing is plain, but it Did you write my name? How dare you bite me to death? I did it! I have Sudu at my place, and at my concubine’s. Just ask, is it difficult to get it right?"

"You framed me in such a way, but you have some shameful intentions!"

King Chang was furious.

In vain at first he thought about standing with his elder brother, but this elder brother is like this!

No king, no father, no filial piety, no brotherhood, no gratitude, why should he help?He wants to clean up the house for the concubine mother!

"Don't bother to talk about it. All the good things in the palace have their origins, especially this fine plain satin. Let alone a piece, it is a foot. Wherever you go, you have to record it! Do you want us to Check the brochure and take a look, I'm going to take your things and make me die!"

King Yue sneered coldly: "Since you have this trick, you must have cleaned up the back road. What's the use of changing gears, surely you won't be found out!"

King Chang's eyes were about to split open: "All the reasoning is with you, others are talking nonsense? Is your mother the whole world, everyone will spoil you!"

King Yue: "Oh, you still have the guts to say this, who in the world judges people with their nose holes? A teenager is still nestling in his mother's arms and acting like a spoiled child!"

……

The two quarreled louder and louder, and the more quarreled, the more limitless, the prince's status and dignity were completely ignored, as if he had forgotten everything around him, and the only thing in life was quarreling, whoever wins will be the best!

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Didn't they talk about Yan Sheng? Why did they start arguing?

Surely someone is guilty...

Looking at this scene, Yang Xuan couldn't stop laughing inwardly.

Just now, the two of them are brothers and sisters, but now the scene is so eye-catching, as if the team that jointly targeted him just now was a joke.

King Chang of Yue also felt the same way, how comforting the tacit look was just now, how disgusting it is now.

Fake, all fake!

The quarrel between the two continued to escalate, and in the end they failed to win or lose. Qiqi knelt in front of Emperor Taikang: "It wasn't my son who did it, I beg my father to learn from me!"

These two knelt down, and the others couldn't be idle, so they knelt down.

The prince expressed his aggrievedness, no matter who did it, the reaction was not him.

King Ping watched a big play, and while laughing out loud from the bottom of his heart, he also opened up a lot.

Sure enough, after jumping out, she realized that the sky is high and the sea is wide, and in this palace, everything is a drama.

It's not that there are no fantasies at all, it's just that there are too few opportunities for him.It is useless to fight, it is better not to fight, if fate is kind, it will give him a chance, if there is no such fate, he would also like to be a virtuous king...

Emperor Taikang hated trouble and losing face the most, but at this time, Concubine Tian Gui, who was best at dealing with such things, was not there.

He was very irritable.

King Yue and King Chang quarreled again.

Brothers had such a good relationship before, why did they suddenly become like this?

At this moment, Emperor Taikang looked at his son kneeling in front of him, and suddenly felt a little strange.

Each one seems to be different from the memory.

Especially the king of Yue, the gentleness and calmness of the past was completely gone, he was too sharp, too resigned to death, completely different from the expectations of his heirs.

The king of Yue and the king of Chang are still arguing, one is more unforgiving than the other, and even the old things are revealed.

Emperor Taikang had a headache from the quarrel, and didn't want to bear it any longer, he slapped the table directly: "Come here, draw up an order for me, summon the world, depose the king of Yue, and relegate him to the county king!"

The room was suddenly silent.

No one dared to speak, and they even looked cautiously at King Yue.

The king of Yue was directly crowned king when he was ten years old, he was favored by the emperor, and he had never been a county king. Such a decree was a big slap in the face...

King Yue himself was stunned.

He was... degraded?

How can it be!

He is the heir of the country chosen by his father himself!

Just for this broken doll?

King Yue was so shocked and sad that he didn't react for a while.

Feeling the rare tranquility, Emperor Taikang nodded slightly, satisfied.

He looked at the prince.

Yang Xuan immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Father." He probably guessed what Emperor Taikang meant, and immediately went down the donkey and said loudly, "I ask my father to hand over this matter to my son for investigation! My son I am not talented, and I am willing to do my best to cooperate sincerely with the Imperial Guards to find out the facts as soon as possible and find out the culprit!"

Emperor Taikang didn't speak.

Yang Xuan knelt down, and her voice was extremely sincere: "Father, please rest assured, the relevant matter will be handled thoughtfully, and I will give everyone an explanation!"

Only then did Emperor Taikang calm down, and said: "I know, my prince is a good one. Well, I will leave this matter to you for a thorough investigation. The imperial guards listen, everyone must cooperate with the prince, and find out the real prince as soon as possible. fierce!"

The imperial guards immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Yes!"
