134. Old ** palace

After the imperial decree came down, the court was in an uproar and then quieted down, but this was only on the surface, and there was a white-hot undercurrent flowing in the dark.

The second prince refused to accept Yin Yu's becoming the crown prince, and was ready to plan to seize the throne; the other princes were also unwilling to make big moves, but kept making minor stumbling blocks;

Yin Yu bears the name of the prince, but whether he can sit on the throne is still a matter of debate.This was a situation King Qin was happy with, and he privately notified Jiang Hanyi, the old seventh, to close the net.

However, Jiang Hanyi was not excited and happy, because the brother Wang was deeper than his father expected, and their plan to reap the benefits was defeated after all. After finishing the second prince, he had to fight for the throne with his brother again. My plan at this time is just fetching water from a bamboo basket.

It's just that because of Qiao Yuchun's life, he couldn't tell King Qin the truth. He felt guilty for disappointing his father, and he was afraid that he would abide by the promise of a gentleman and Tang Yu would attack Qiao Yuchun.

He knew very well that Tang Yu was not a really kind-hearted person. Once the bottom line interests were involved, it was not surprising that Tang Yu, who was harmless to humans and animals, would turn into a demon.

It's just that keeping the agreement means keeping the agreement, and Jiang Hanyi still can't just let Qiao Yuchun stay in Tang Yu's hands with such peace of mind. After the imperial edict of Li Chu came down, he would quietly come to meet people at the Liwang post office almost every night, so that he can rest assured that he is alive.

Tang Yu knew what he was thinking, so he turned a blind eye to it. He was still worried about how to burn the last fire, but Jiang Hanyi saved a lot of trouble by doing this.

And Qiao Yuchun did not live up to the high expectations. Every time Jiang Hanyi came, he could not help adding fuel and jealousy, stimulating the balance between the throne and his weight in Jiang Hanyi's heart, and unswervingly helping the enemy to pull his lover down.

It can't be blamed on his lack of conscience, but that King Li has made it clear that he is the final winner. No matter how hard Jiang Hanyi fights, the end will be a failure.The only thing he can do now is to surrender to King Li in order to save his lover's life.

It's not that Qiao Yuchun didn't directly tell Jiang Hanyi to give up the throne, but for a person who has been brainwashed by King Qin since he can remember, Jiang Hanyi is also unswervingly attached to the throne.

"Father has indeed followed Brother Wang's way. It is impossible to take advantage of the succession, but there are only me and Brother Wang left, and I am not without strength."

Anyway, what Jiang Hanyi said was that he refused to give up. Inheriting the throne was already a belief of his.

Even if he is restrained now, Jiang Hanyi believes that he has no chance of winning in a head-to-head encounter. "Although Tang Yu is cunning, he still counts on his words. As long as I abide by the agreement, I will come to pick you up after the second brother is resolved..."

"I got in your way, right?"

There was no joy on Qiao Yuchun's face, just complicated and disappointed.

I don't know why, Jiang Hanyi felt that this kind of gaze was more uncomfortable than the indifference of strangers on the way. It's not that he didn't understand Qiao Yuchun's thoughts, but he couldn't just give up like this, and he couldn't give up for one person. Jiangshan Sheji.

Jiang Hanyi clenched his fists, but he still couldn't do it, "Yuchun, I won't let you die. If you really want a title, I will give it to you, but the throne... I can't give it up."

"And then? Then I became one of the three thousand people in your harem? Like all the concubines, I am looking forward to your blessing day and night, the king?"

Qiao Yuchun laughed with a hint of sadness.

Even if he is a disabled eunuch who is willing to be female, but he is still a man in essence. He loves Jiang Hanyi, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to share a man with other women like a man in the backyard.

In the past, it didn't matter if he was unrequitedly in love, but when men started to fall in love with him, he couldn't help but care.

Sitting on the throne, in order to stabilize power, how can the harem of successive kings be short of people?

"Yin Jinyuan, I can give my life to you, but I can't share you with others. I used to be the one who wished to fall in love with someone I shouldn't like, but not now. I can't tolerate it. If you can't give me the same Feelings, then don't provoke me again, don't give me hope!"

"You want the throne, but I don't want to stay in the palace anymore..."

Qiao Yuchun felt bitter in his heart, for a moment, he really wanted to give up like this.He is also a human being, he will be uncomfortable and tired.

Jiang Hanyi didn't speak any more, and stood staring at him for a long time before leaving silently with his fists clenched.

……

No one knows what is going on in Jiang Hanyi's mind, not even Tang Yu. After all, no matter how powerful the system is, it doesn't have the ability to read minds.

But obviously Qiao Yuchun had some influence on Jiang Hanyi. Jiang Hanyi did not tell King Qin the actual situation on their side, and helped cover it up without any trace. In addition, he gathered his own strength in private to wait for the tough battle after the gentleman's agreement.

A month later, under Qin Wang's laissez-faire, the preparations for the second prince were almost ready.

When the time came, the King of Qin issued an order to hold a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet to bring all his sons together again, which facilitated the second prince's plan to usurp the throne and force the palace.And the second prince lived up to expectations, perfectly "obedient", and led the soldiers to surround the people in the banquet.

The blade with cold light and the soldiers full of evil spirit directly frightened the civil servants at the banquet to pale faces.

King Qin, who had expected this situation long ago, naturally showed anger, and roared at the calm second prince, "Nizi, how dare you kill your father!"

At this moment, the second prince no longer played the role of father and son with him, and stared at King Qin full of resentment and hatred.

"Father is not benevolent, why do I have to be righteous? Today's child forced the palace, is it not your father who facilitated it? If the father is not ruthless, how can I get to this point?"

The hatred in the second prince's heart was far heavier than Yin Yu's heart back then. Although Empress Su's mother and son were pitiful, King Qin had shown dislike from the beginning, and he was prepared to end up behind.

But he wasn't, he fell into the mud from the clouds without any preparation!

Although he guessed that he was not the most favorite prince in King Qin's heart, he never thought that King Qin would use him as a shield, or the biggest one. The most important thing is that Yin Yu's benefit was obtained by his sacrifice.He and Yin Yu have a deadly feud that cannot be resolved at all.

Even if the father didn't belong to him, he didn't expect to be so cruel to him.

"What is it that I am not as good as the third brother? In terms of resourcefulness, talent, learning, and means, I am the best among my brothers, and I was taught by you personally, the father, and the third brother is from another country. The proton who came back is a disgrace! Maybe he is not a member of our Yin royal family, but a bastard who lost his bag!"

"Because your vision is too narrow! Selfishness is too heavy! Colluding with Zhao, losing power and humiliating the country..."

Qin Wang was sullen, majestic and angry, "Since the widow chose the third child, it is natural that the third child is more capable than you, not to mention that he is an orthodox son, and succession should follow the ancestor's precept. It is not that the widow did not give you a chance, but you are not as good as the third child." , Now you dare to kill your brother and your father, rebellious son!"

Qin Wang's words seemed to be defending, but in fact they were stabbing a knife.The second prince was already in the midst of jealousy and anger, but when he heard this, his reason was stimulated out of control almost instantly.

"Okay, old man, you said you killed your brother and father, today I will show you that I am not as good as him, do it!"

The second prince with red eyes gave an order.The banquet hall immediately fell into a fight of swords, lights and swords.

Except for a few insiders, no one in this □□ Palace expected it at all.And the king of Qin pushed it on purpose, originally to use the hands of the second prince to kill Tang Yu and the others, and then to solve the second child in the name of rebellion. Therefore, there were not many guards at the banquet, and the second prince's people quickly gained the upper hand. There was blood.

However, Yin Yu had been prepared for a long time. The guards around him were all top elites.

And Tang Yu has learned the lesson of being assassinated and injured, and he has practiced his skills in the past two years. Today, he even bought self-defense clothes from the system, which is invulnerable. Block the sharp sword and be dumbfounded.

King Qin, sitting on the seat, was shocked when he saw this scene. At the same time, Min Ke finally noticed something was wrong.

But these few minutes didn't allow him to figure it out. Seeing that the second prince's men couldn't kill Yin Yu and Tang Yu, he immediately signaled his hidden guards to take action, and at the same time notified Jiang Hanyi to lead troops to collect the mess.

However, Jiang Hanyi did bring his troops here, but he did not attack Yin Yu and the other two. Instead, he sent people to kill the second prince, the other restless princes, and some disobedient ministers.

King Qin had some bad premonitions in his heart. When he knew that the battle in the hall was over, the second prince was captured, Yin Yu was still alive, and Jiang Hanyi had no intention of doing anything to Yin Yu, his face really sank...

"Lao Qi, you also betrayed the father?"

King Qin is not a fool, and the current situation clearly means that his son has betrayed him.

Jiang Hanyi was a little afraid to see his father, "I'm sorry father, I want to compete fairly with brother Wang."

"Idiot!" After saying that, King Qin almost vomited blood out of anger.

Damn it, he has laid out such a big game, spent so much time cultivating Lao Qi, now this bastard is actually telling him about fair competition?

If the third child is not resolved now, everything they have done will be in vain. He has already issued the imperial decree to establish a crown prince, and he is still playing fair competition. The seventh child has been kicked out of his brain by a donkey, or he has taken the wrong medicine!

King Qin almost fainted, but he also understood that his son, who had always listened to him, could not betray him for no reason and say silly things about competing for the throne fairly.The only explanation must be that the third child has done something to restrain the seventh child.

And Lao Qi's weakness is nothing more than his father and...

Qin Wang stared at his son who dared not look at him, his face was ugly, "Is it because of that little eunuch?"

Jiang Hanyi bowed his head guilty, not daring to speak.

But this attitude already explained everything, Qin Wang was so angry that he trembled all over, "You rebellious son, if I knew today, I shouldn't have softened my heart and agreed to let him go!"

*******

135. Choose

Jiang Hanyi was truly cultivated by the King of Qin. Since the birth of this son, the King of Qin has taken care of him and brought him up by himself, without allowing anyone to intervene in the slightest, in order to cultivate a perfect heir that best suits his heart.

For this son, he simply did not know how much painstaking effort he had put into it, and Jiang Hanyi did not disappoint him, and he grew up successfully.Whether it is resourcefulness, means, or temperament, they are all in line with his wishes.

But King Qin never expected that such an excellent son of his would fall on the body of a young eunuch!

When he first found out, he didn't pay much attention to it. He only thought that his son was just playing for fun. A little eunuch had nothing to care about. His son had already been trained to be cold-blooded by him. A eunuch who warmed the bed didn't care at all.

But he never expected that the little eunuch named Qiao Yuchun was really capable, and actually moved his Wang'er's heart.

At that time, the king of Qin didn't think about killing people to avoid future troubles. How could the king be affected by his feelings, especially when Lao Qi still shouldered the heavy responsibility of his wish to unify the six kingdoms.But when he realized it was too late, his son was already able to hesitate his order because of the little eunuch.

King Qin knew his son's character well, and was worried that death would be counterproductive, so he could only suppress his doubts and send his son to Licheng to be far away.

As for Qiao Yuchun, he told the 'death news'. He thought that the little eunuch would be buried and follow his son deeply, so he couldn't be blamed, but who knew that Qiao Yuchun didn't play cards according to common sense. The child under her care is ready to live well, and she wants to raise her lover's child...

God knows if this little eunuch is mentally ill. The little prince is just a pawn made to cover up his identity, not the child that Lao Qi really wants to have, and Lao Qi doesn't even want this child at all. Stupid idea to leave behind for your lover!

At that time, the blood from King Qin's lungs rushed directly to his throat, and it took a lot of effort not to spit it out.

In the end, what was even more surprising was that Qiao Yuchun also found out that the seventh child was not dead, forcing him to agree to the eunuch's conditions for meeting people, readjusting the plan, and sending Qiao Yuchun to Licheng as well.

I originally planned to wait for the people to come back and kill them after the completion of the Licheng incident, so as not to have long nights and dreams.But it was still a step too late, and the third child actually took advantage of the loophole...

King Qin regretted his soft heart in the past. At that time, he should not have cared about Lao Qi. He should have killed him earlier. Even if Lao Qi became decadent because of this, he still had time to choose another person. The catfish was good.

"You idiot, the widow has already issued an imperial edict to establish a crown prince. If you don't kill him now, you are no longer letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but directly handing over things to others! It's just a little eunuch. When you become a king, the country and society will all be yours." , do you want any beauty? Do you want to piss off your father to be willing?"

Jiang Hanyi felt uncomfortable being scolded, but his voice was still hoarse, "Father, I can..." to save the situation.

But before he finished speaking, this expression made King Qin even more angry. He couldn't help picking up the wine bottle on the table and smashing it at him, "What can you do?! What a fair competition!"

"The widow has worked hard to train you for more than 20 years, and set up so many bureaus for you, you, you are actually for a little eunuch..."

King Qin was so angry that he could hardly breathe, and his wily and calculating mind had become muddled, panting while cursing, quite angry that one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas came out of the body and went directly to reincarnation.

Jiang Hanyi didn't dare to face his father at all, and let the blood flow from his forehead, but he didn't change his mind. He believed that he could do it.

At this moment, the living courtiers in the hall really understood that the prince who suddenly appeared was the king's true heart, and the third prince was actually just a shield and a pawn.

Looking at this scene, all the ministers dared not say a word, and did not dare to move when they stood still.

The second prince who was arrested understood, but couldn't help laughing, gloating happily.

"Hahaha, my beloved father, you are really good at planning, my son admires, admires! But you didn't calculate that the person you fancy is an idiot, you are just a bamboo basket to fetch water in vain , making wedding dresses for others hahaha...Third Prince, I am convinced this time, I have no objection to your superiority, my brother hereby congratulates you, congratulations hahaha."

The second prince was overwhelmed with grief and joy, and had fallen into madness.

King Qin couldn't help being so excited by these words, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!" Jiang Hanyi was shocked and rushed over.

Although he understands that he is just a tool of power in his father's hands, at least King Qin has devoted his efforts to him. Compared with the cold treatment received by other brothers, he was brought up by King Qin himself, and he has a real father-son relationship.

"Father, I will definitely do what you want me to do. Brother Wang can make up for the disadvantages, so can I. I will not let go of the throne and him. Please trust the child..."

Jiang Hanyi feels guilty and uncomfortable, but he has no regrets, he really can't let go, neither will let go.

But how can bear's paw and fish have both?Qin Wang was really disappointed to see his son like this. He chose the wrong one after all the choices. The old seven has the ability, but he is not up to the task after all.

That's all, the seventh child can't do it, and the third child can win with an absolute disadvantage, and even deceived him. His ability can be seen, and he has achieved his goal.

King Qin closed his eyes before looking at Yin Yu.

He had never cared about this son before, but looking at it carefully now, he couldn't help but bitterness in his mouth.This child is indeed the most like him, no matter in appearance or mentality and resourcefulness, it's a pity that he didn't choose the other party because of prejudice, which created the current situation.

"Third son, it's my father who missed it..." King Qin sighed.

Yin Yu's eyes were cold and stern, "You really missed it."

Qin Wang was silent when he heard the words, knowing what he meant, it was not Lao Qi, but Empress Su, he had never regretted it in his life, even if it caused his sons to kill each other, but only Empress Su Let him regret it for half his life.

He suspected that the Su family was big, and that the Empress Su was unfaithful, so that that gentle and innocent woman died in a foreign country, and that he was the most heartless and cruel to the third child.

Qin Wang swallowed his throat, his voice was a little dry, "It's useless to say sorry for what happened at the beginning, but now, I will give you this son, but you must agree to two conditions."

Yin Yu didn't speak, his face remained unchanged, obviously he didn't intend to obey.

The King of Qin knew what was in his mind, so he was serious,

"The widow knows that you think this person is yours, so you don't need to listen to the widow, but don't forget how the widow got into this position back then. How could the widow not leave the last way? Although Lao Qi disappointed the widow, but After all, he is the son that the widow is looking for, if the widow does not let go, you will wait for the seventh to fight with you again!"

Jiang Hanyi raised his head, his eyes were sharp, it was still the sharp sword in King Qin's hand.

King Qin was very satisfied. Although he was a little disappointed, this son was not in vain after all.

After straightening his beard, King Qin stared at Yin Yu and continued, "Third son, listen, it's okay for the widow to give you the throne, but you have to agree to the widow. First, after succeeding to the throne, you must work hard to govern, unify the six kingdoms in your lifetime, and completely The thousand-year hegemony of my Yin royal family!"

"Second..." King Qin's voice paused, he turned his head to look at Tang Yu in the corner, raised his finger, and said with cool eyes, "Kill him!"

Tang Yu looked up:? ? ?

A tyrannical look appeared in Yin Yu's eyes.

King Qin looked serious, staring at Tang Yu with determined killing intent. Compared to Qiao Yuchun, Tang Yu was the one who really made him afraid. He had already lost his seventh child, and he couldn't let his third child fall in the same place.

The king cannot be swayed by feelings. Although Lao Qi was restrained by the little eunuch, he hadn't given up everything for the other party directly. He still firmly held his father's words in his heart and put the throne and rights as the most important thing.

But the third child was different. In recent years, he knew very well that the third child was completely controlled by this scholar named Tang Yu.

Regardless of whether Tang Yu has a wrong mind or not, as long as Tang Yu is alive, it is difficult to guarantee that the third child will not be restrained.Now Lao Qi can compromise for that little eunuch, foolishly believe in some nonsense about fair competition, and replace him with Lao Qi, he has no doubt that the other party can do it by handing over the Qin Kingdom directly.

Therefore, Tang Yu must die...

King Qin put on a solemn face, and he didn't expect Yin Yu to answer immediately after speaking, but told his beloved son, "Listen, old seven, if your brother Wang can kill Tang Yu with his own hands today, you will help your king." Brother ascends the throne; if he can't do it, you will clear up the rebellion for the widow!"

Even if the seventh child can't become a master, it's still better than Jiang Shan being sent out directly by the third child.

In the heart of the third child, even without Tang Yu, the status of the Yin royal family is not important at all, and he has to guard against it.

Jiang Hanyi glanced at Tang Yu. He knew Tang Yu's position in the heart of the king better than his father. He knew that his father's worry was not impossible. Sheji has come to an end...

"Father, my son takes orders."

Jiang Hanyi nodded, he didn't want to kill Tang Yu, but he was the prince of the Yin royal family.

Everyone looked at Yin Yu, wondering what he would do.But the throne and the beauty, everyone knows how to choose, who would be stupid enough to give up the power of the country and an unremarkable beauty who is still a man.

All the ministers looked at Tang Yu, as if they were looking at a dead person.

Tang Yu didn't speak, and could only stand there quietly.

The vast and magnificent palace was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment. King Qin looked at his son, waiting for an answer.

After a long time, the tyranny in Yin Yu's eyes disappeared, and indifference appeared.

The voice was cold and ruthless, "One...not stay."

As the words fell, a gorgeous firework suddenly exploded in the dark sky outside the palace, countless black-armored soldiers with a murderous aura poured out from the night, and a strong bloody aura filled the entire palace in an instant.
