People who have been teased by me say they won't let me go [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 91 King's Landing (9)
No one spoke.
In the empty hall, there was only the sound of thunder when the candlestick was burning. Jinshen leaned over to look at Xia Chengqi who was biting his lips tightly, reached out and pinched his jaw to force him to let go.
With the bloody breath coming from his mouth, Jin Shen frowned.
"If you dare to bite yourself again..."
Xia Chengqi's whole body trembled from the pain, bean big sweat kept sliding down his forehead, his five fingers clutched the quilt under his body tightly, he couldn't even lift his eyelids, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out a big mouthful of blood.
"Jinyu, I didn't intend to hurt you, as long as you are good and obedient, I won't do anything to you."
After hearing this, Xia Chengqi raised his eyes and smiled contemptuously at him, and said, "Isn't poisoning enough?"
"It's not my wish to poison you."
"Not what you wanted?" Xia Chengqi closed his eyes, feeling the severe pain in his body go away little by little, and when his body regained some strength, he kicked Jinshen's thigh hard.
"roll!"
The strength was like scratching an itch, and the voice was hoarse and weeping, which really didn't have much deterrent effect.
Jin Shen stretched out his hand and grabbed the kicked ankle, his eyes sank slightly, staring at him scorchingly without saying a word.
"let me go!"
Jin Shen turned a deaf ear, leaned over, and reached out to wipe the blood stains from the corner of his mouth.
Xia Chengqi turned his face away, "What exactly do you want? Now you are no more than one person, and the whole court is full of King Gu's people. If you give up today, I can pretend that nothing has happened."
Jinshen paused with his hands in the air, and suddenly laughed, "It seems that I still have to thank you?"
"I just don't want you to get deeper and deeper."
"Getting deeper and deeper?" Jinshen sat down beside his bed, Xia Chengqi struggled to pull his ankle out of his hand, but Jinshen's grip became tighter and tighter, through a thin layer of fabric, he could still feel his ankle. To the warmth of the ankle skin.
With a smile on his lips, Jin Shen took off the socks on Xia Chengqi's feet, his white insteps were slightly arched, because Xia Chengqi was much thinner than ordinary people due to his body injury since childhood, with slender bones, and his ankles were barely enough to hold.
Jin Shen lightly rubbed the red mark on his ankle due to the struggle, "I still remember when I was young, my master slapped me on the palm, and you talked back because of me and my master, and even blew on the scar on my palm, saying it wouldn't hurt anymore. "
Xia Chengqi's ankle was held by him, and his whole body was almost stiff. He tried to break free but couldn't, so he had to endure it secretly, and looked at him deeply with his lips pursed, silent.
"Later, I was punished by King Gu to kneel in the snow. You came to hug me and asked me if I was cold. Jinyu, believe it or not, back then, I really never thought of feeding you poison."
"I never thought about it?" Xia Chengqi's ankle was caught in his hands. When he mentioned this matter, he couldn't help feeling angry. Back then, he thought of everything for his own sake, but in the end he raised a white-eyed wolf in exchange for a kindness and revenge. !
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt blind. He raised his foot and kicked Jin Shen's chest again.
Jinshen smiled, and held Xia Chengqi's foot tightly against his chest in the posture of kicking Xia Chengqi's foot on his chest, "You are my younger brother, why should I harm you? Back then, I thought that if it was possible, I would I will protect you well, just like this for the rest of my life, what a pity...why do you want to be a grandson?"
"It's not what I want!"
"I know it's not what you want!" Jinshen lost his composure for a moment, but under Jinyu's eyes, his anger slowly faded away, calm as water, and said quietly: "You said before in the East Palace that you will pay back everything you owe me. I don't know if it still counts now?"
"Give you the throne, and then you go to deal with King Gu?"
"Don't worry, I will leave him alive."
Xia Chengqi smiled, "Then you stop now, I will give you a way out, how about it?"
"Do you have to drink as a penalty?"
"I'm saving you! Do you know what your crime is? Capital crime!"
"I'm willing to give it a go, it's like living in the northwest!"
Xia Chengqi looked at Jin Shen, who looked a little crazy, and frowned quietly.
This won't work, it can't go on like this.
"Even if I give you the throne, all the ministers in the court belong to King Gu, so what can you do?"
Jin Shen raised his eyebrows, "Worried about me?"
Xia Chengqi bit his lip, sat up slightly, and said, "Brother, I only hope that you can live well."
"Then what? Being bullied?" He rubbed his ankle so hot that Jinshen let go, "Jinyu, you haven't experienced all of this with me. There is no empathy in this world, only empathy. "
Xia Chengqi wanted to say something more, but Jinshen covered his mouth, "Hush, it's late, you should go to bed."
Xia Chengqi whimpered and shook his head, but was finally overwhelmed by the sudden drowsiness and fell into a drowsy sleep.
Looking at Xia Chengqi's peaceful sleeping face, Jin Shen stretched out his hand and poked him on the cheek, smiled, changed the dirty clothes for him, then covered him with the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, and whispered leave.
Early the next morning, Xia Chengqi was awakened by Lu Fu, Xia Chengqi raised his forehead, saw Lu Fu was in a daze for a moment, and shouted incredulously: "Grandpa Lu?"
Lu Fu quickly responded, "The servant is here."
"Where were you last night?"
Lu Fu bowed to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, forgive me, last night... the slave was so exhausted that he fell asleep outside the hall."
"Then what is the vision in the palace now?"
Lu Fu bowed his head respectfully, "I don't know what the vision the emperor said is what it means."
From this point of view, there is no abnormality.
Could it be that Jinshen hasn't made a move yet?
"Is Shen Jing back?"
Lu Fu was stunned for a moment, "Returning to the emperor, the servant was about to report to the emperor, and the prince rushed to send the urgent report, saying that Shen Jing and Shen's bodyguard took the lead and died for the country."
"Dead?" Xia Chengqi was taken aback, how could it be possible, could it be that the Shen Jing he saw yesterday was a ghost?
But if it was true as what Gu Wang said in the urgent report, this Shen Jing might have escaped Gu Wang's eyeliner, faked his death and returned to Beijing, and made arrangements for everything.
"Wash and dress me, I'm going to court."
"Your Majesty," Lu Fu knelt down suddenly, "You are not feeling well, why don't you rest today."
Xia Chengqi's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, "Grandpa Lu? Let's take a rest?"
Lu Fu put his head on the ground, and said again: "The emperor forgives the sin, the servant just saw that the emperor's complexion is not good recently, so it is not appropriate to work too hard."
Xia Chengqi got out of bed, "Now that the emperor is fighting chaos in the northwest, you let me rest in the palace? Lu Fu, you are too brave!"
Lu Fu didn't dare to raise his head, he still tried to persuade: "The emperor calms down, the slave deserves to die, even if you want to go out now, you won't be able to go out."
Xia Chengqi's face changed suddenly, and he asked in a low voice, "What's going on!"
"Master Chen has surrounded the Palace of Qianqing, and ordered the government officials to close the city gates, and the people of the capital are now not allowed to come in or out."
"Master Chen? Chen Zhen?"
"Yes."
"Who gave him the will!"
Lu Fu dared not speak.
"Pass, pass him to me!"
Eunuch Lu tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen is already waiting outside."
"pass!"
Lu Fu bowed and exited. Not long after, Chen Zhen walked into the hall with a cold sword in his hand, knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "My humble minister Chen Zhen, join the emperor."
Xia Chengqi sat high and looked at the cold sword in his hand, narrowing his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he returned his gaze to Chen Zhen.
"Master Chen, I remember that all the generals who can lead troops in the capital were poisoned, and Master Chen seems to be on the list, but I don't understand why Master Chen is so majestic today?"
Chen Zhen also didn't get up, and smiled with lowered eyebrows, "Your Majesty, the poison of my humble minister has been cured."
"Oh? I don't know which capable person actually detoxified Aiqing? Aiqing might as well tell her, I will definitely reward her."
"That man is just a charlatan, and he doesn't like fame and fortune."
"I don't like fame and wealth..." Xia Chengqi sneered, "Then Ai Qing besieged the Qianqing Palace and closed the city gate, and whose order was it for?"
Chen Zhen stopped talking.
"It must be the person who detoxified Aiqing."
"The emperor forgives the crime."
Xia Chengqi was furious, "Forgive me? Since Aiqing has done it, why bother to ask me to plead guilty."
Chen Zhen remained silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was inexplicably stagnant.
After a long time, Xia Chengqi lazily leaned on the back seat, and waved to Chen Zhen tiredly, "Get back."
"Wei Chen retire."
Chen Zhen bowed and retreated to the outside of the hall, where Jin Shen stood with his hands behind his back, and had been waiting for a long time.
Chen Zhen cupped his hands to signal to him, Jin Shen looked at the plaque of Qianqing Hall indifferently, and said, "What's the matter?"
"The emperor must know it in his heart."
Jin Shen pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Back off."
"Yes."
Now the only person in Beijing who holds the military power is Chen Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War. Jin Shen once thought it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that although Chen Zhen himself didn't care about life and death, he valued the lives of his wife and children more than himself .
Jin Shen chuckled, raised his foot and walked towards the hall.
In the main hall, Xia Chengqi was looking at the memorial before the case in a daze, and Lian Jinshen hadn't reacted when he got close to him.
"emperor."
Xia Chengqi snapped back to his senses, raised his head and saw Jin Shen who was next to him, frowned, and said, "You bought Chen Zhen?"
"He holds the military power in Beijing, so of course I want to buy him off."
"What's the use of you doing this? If King Gu raises his troops back to the capital, and the troops approach the city, a small capital city with [-] troops can hold for a few days."
Jin Shen looked at him with a half-smile, "The Emperor really thinks that King Gu can return to Beijing safely?"
"What do you want to do again?"
"Your majesty, you still don't seem to understand your situation," Jin Shen sighed, and suddenly squeezed Xia Chengqi's wrist, and said with a smile, "Your majesty, why don't you come and issue an imperial edict."
Xia Chengqi secretly thought that it was not good, and struggled, "You are dreaming!"
"It's just an imperial decree." Jin Shen ignored his struggle, took the pen and ink from one side, spread the imperial decree, stuffed the pen into Xia Chengqi's hand, and then covered the back of his hand with his hand, "Jinyu, what's the matter?" Want me to teach you how to write?"
The handwriting is different, and the imperial decree is useless.
Xia Chengqi knew that he was no match for him, so he calmed down a little, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Jinshen leaned into his ear, "I want you to write a decree to demote Prime Minister Wen."
"And then? A hundred officials have no leader, are you trying to let them mess themselves up?"
Jin Shen held his hand, and wrote the word Jin on the imperial decree, flowing and flowing, strong and powerful.
"If you don't want to experience the pain of last night again, it's better to be obedient. As for the purpose, I just know it. You don't need to be too clear."
Thinking of the pain of last night, Xia Chengqi gritted his teeth and said forcefully, "Even if you kill me, I won't..."
"Don't talk big, the poison last night was only three or four out of ten. It's more painful than you have ever experienced. It's true that life is worse than death."
These words really made Xia Chengqi shudder. Last night's pain almost caused him to bite his tongue and commit suicide. Is it only three or four out of ten?
Xia Chengqi's hands trembled angrily, "Wolf-hearted! White-eyed wolf!"
Jinshen held his hand and continued to write, not paying any attention to what he said, "It's all about success and defeat. Back then, I was beaten with thirty lashes and then thrown to the northwest. I almost died at the hands of the people sent by King Gu, after all, God treated me kindly, and escaped from death, you said, shouldn’t I come to King Gu to seek justice?"
Xia Chengqi's hand trembled, "Impossible, how could the emperor send someone to chase you down, you were only ten years old at the time."
"There's nothing impossible." Jin Shen sneered and said, "I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't know who King Gu is."
"I do not believe."
"Of course you don't believe it."
As soon as the words fell, countless Jin characters were densely written on the imperial decree.
Xia Chengqi looked at the full handwriting, and seemed to be a little moved, "Back then, did you really want to kill me?"
"what?"
"That glass of poisoned wine."
"Aren't you still alive and well?" Jinshen took a new imperial decree and spread it in front of Xia Chengqi, "Let's write it."
Xia Chengqi looked at him, "If I don't write, will you really be so ruthless to me?"
"The enemy is now, and I can only do this."
Xia Chengqi looked at him for a long time, as if he didn't know him, suddenly, a tear fell, and he threw the pen in his hand on the case, "Jin Shen, do you have a conscience!"
"I'm just taking back what I deserve. This thousand-mile country cannot fall into the hands of his surname. Write it down."
Xia Chengqi stared at him for a long time, and after a while, tremblingly picked up the pen like the hands of an old man, and wrote down the decree to depose Prime Minister Wen on the edict.
After writing, Jinshen took the jade seal, printed it on the imperial decree, and said with a smile: "I've been so good for a long time, I don't have to suffer last night, and I don't have to go to court these few days. You have a good rest, and I will come to see you when the matter is cleared up." you."
After finishing speaking, Jinshen walked out of the hall with the imperial decree in a good mood.
Xia Chengqi looked at Jinshen's back, his eyes were slightly cloudy, and he called out to the side hall, "Grandpa Lu, is that what you said, Shen Jing and Shen's bodyguard died for the country?"
Eunuch Lu came out with trembling legs, knelt down in the hall abruptly, faltering and saying: "There are some in the urgent report of the prince... that's true, the servant did not misread it."
"Forget it," Xia Chengqi sat down, "Go down."
Lu Fu looked at Xia Chengqi, and suddenly took a few steps on his knees, clutching Xia Chengqi's lapel, crying in pain, "Your Majesty, you must take care of your health, and you must not lose your mind for a while. There is always a chance, my lord martial arts!" Gao Qiang, none of the assassins sent by the former crown prince succeeded, and they will surely put down the rebellion in the northwest, as long as you recharge your energy, you will be able to escape the danger when the prince returns."
Xia Chengqi laughed, "What are you talking about? Do I seem to be the kind of person who can't think about it? But you just said, the assassin sent by the former prince? When did it happen?"
"It was the night before the former crown prince returned to Beijing, many assassins came to the palace, wanting to assassinate the prince."
Xia Chengqi thought to himself, feeling something was wrong, "Then why don't I know."
"At that time, the prince was injured, so he ordered the servant not to publicize it."
"Injured? What's going on?"
Lu Fu shut up later, "This... the prince won't let me say it."
"Say!"
Only then did Lu Fu hesitate and said: "Back then when the assassin entered the mansion, there must have been someone from the former prince who had already responded to the mansion. In order to protect you, the prince was stabbed in the shoulder blade by the assassin, and it took more than half a month to recover."
Xia Chengqi frowned, "But... I don't know at all."
"My lord ordered that you don't need to know."
Xia Chengqi shook his head, "Why didn't you let me know..."
"Perhaps the prince doesn't want you to be disappointed with the former prince."
Xia Chengqi recalled that when the Crown Prince returned to Beijing, King Gu once asked him whether he was looking forward to it or not, what he said at that time, excitedly said he was happy, said he was looking forward to it...
Xia Chengqi waved his hand, "Understood, let's go down."
Lu Fu quietly glanced at Xia Chengqi, but quietly backed away without saying anything.
Jinshen acted like King Gu, and acted vigorously. On the same day, he passed this decree to Prime Minister Wen's mansion. Wen Yuan was deposed, all the officials were leaderless, the emperor dismissed the court, the Qianqing Palace was besieged, the capital was closed, and the northwest was in chaos. All of a sudden, the wind rang and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the ministers had no determination and were in panic all day long.
Xia Chengqi was trapped in the Palace of Qianqing. Besides Lu Fu, the only people he saw every day were Jinshen and Chen Zhen. He didn't know anything about the war with the Northwest in the court hall. Seeing that half a month had passed, it was still a little bit. No news either.
Far away in the northwest, King Gu retreated his troops back to his camp, took off his heavy armor, and closed his eyes for a nap. It has been more than a month since the army had traveled long distances to the northwest, and 30 troops defeated King Duan's rebels. This, can't move.
Not long after, a guard from outside the tent begged to see him, Gu Wanggu tapped on the table with his fingers, and said, "Come in."
A guard in military uniform came into the tent, handed a letter in front of King Gu, and stood respectfully at one side.
King Gu opened the letter, glanced at the three lines, read it, put the thin paper letter in front of the case, and tapped his fingertips, "It seems that the situation in Beijing is not very good."
The guard said respectfully: "The words to return to the prince are still under control."
"Under control?" King Gu sneered, his aura forced the guard to lower his eyebrows, "How is the situation in the palace?"
The guard immediately said: "There is news that the Palace of Qianqing is besieged."
boom--
Gu Wang slammed on the case in a circle, and said sharply: "How long will it take for Fengming City to be captured?"
Fengming City is the only place to go to the capital from the northwest. King Gu's army passed all the way and forced King Duan's rebels to Fengming City. King Duan occupied the city, threatening the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city. , will slaughter the city, and die together with the people in this city.
"Fengming City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. King Duan's rebels are in the hands of the people, so if they don't surrender or fight, it seems that they are delaying time."
"Of course he is procrastinating, and he can't procrastinate any longer. If it is too late, things will change," King Gu said in a deep voice, looking at the sky filled with yellow sand outside the tent, "You go and pick out ten agile guards in person. Let's explore Fengming City at night together."
The guard cupped his hands, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Gu Wang shifted his gaze to the letter on the case, picked it up again, read it carefully again and again, and frowned.
Time is running out, he can't delay any longer, and Jinyu will be more dangerous if he delays for one more day.
But Jinyu, can you understand what Uncle Huang means?
King Gu closed his eyes deeply, feeling uneasy, and the same was true for Xia Chengqi in the Qianqing Palace, who had been trapped for more than half a month, and Jinshen hadn't appeared for several days, Xia Chengqi became more flustered when he didn't show up.
"The humble minister joins the emperor."
A voice came from the gate of the palace, Xia Chengqi looked over, and saw Chen Zhen standing at the door, bowing his hands in salute.
"Aiqing is here again. I don't know what it is to come here today."
Chen Zhen went to the palace, raised his head and said to Xia Chengqi: "Your Majesty, I have come to inform you that you should go to court tomorrow."
"Going to court? What court to go to?"
"You haven't been to court for half a month, and now all the officials are in panic all day long, of course you have to stand up to appease people's hearts."
"Don't think about it!"
Chen Zhen took a few steps forward and said to Xia Chengqi: "Why is the emperor so stubborn? Gu Wang is far away in the northwest, and he can't quench his thirst. The emperor has to find a way to protect himself is the best policy."
"Self-protection? Self-protection is to appease your hearts?"
Chen Zhen said again: "Actually, there is one thing that you may not know about, Your Majesty."
"what's up?"
"King Gu was in the northwest, when he attacked Fengming City, he was seriously injured, and now he is probably dying."
"Shut up!" Xia Chengqi said angrily, "What nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, King Gu is also a body of flesh and blood. Naturally, there are accidents on the battlefield. Even if King Gu died in battle, it would be..."
Xia Chengqi came down suddenly and kicked Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen accidentally knelt down on the ground, covered his stomach with his hands, and frowned silently.
Xia Chengqi felt that it was not enough, stepped forward and kicked Chen Zhenlai as if to vent his anger.
Chen Zhen gritted his teeth and held back, Xia Chengqi kicked hard on the shoulder, Chen Zhen couldn't help it anymore, stood up, grabbed Xia Chengqi's hand, looked at each other, Chen Zhen's words were faintly filled with anger, " Your majesty, I hope you have self-knowledge!"
With a violent shake of his hand, Xia Chengqi staggered back a few steps.
Chen Zhen cupped his hands again, and said with a sneer: "I have brought the words of my minister, I hope the emperor will take care of it, and I will leave."
When Chen Zhen stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, Xia Chengqi was so angry that he overturned all the memorials before the case, and Lu Fu stepped forward to try to persuade him, but Xia Chengqi said angrily: "Back off, I don't want to see anyone! "
Lu Fu had no choice but to back down, Xia Chengqi approached the side hall, his chest heaved up and down, obviously very angry.
After a long while, when the breath subsided, he slowly released his clenched right hand, and a round black pill appeared in the palm of his hand.
In the empty hall, there was only the sound of thunder when the candlestick was burning. Jinshen leaned over to look at Xia Chengqi who was biting his lips tightly, reached out and pinched his jaw to force him to let go.
With the bloody breath coming from his mouth, Jin Shen frowned.
"If you dare to bite yourself again..."
Xia Chengqi's whole body trembled from the pain, bean big sweat kept sliding down his forehead, his five fingers clutched the quilt under his body tightly, he couldn't even lift his eyelids, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out a big mouthful of blood.
"Jinyu, I didn't intend to hurt you, as long as you are good and obedient, I won't do anything to you."
After hearing this, Xia Chengqi raised his eyes and smiled contemptuously at him, and said, "Isn't poisoning enough?"
"It's not my wish to poison you."
"Not what you wanted?" Xia Chengqi closed his eyes, feeling the severe pain in his body go away little by little, and when his body regained some strength, he kicked Jinshen's thigh hard.
"roll!"
The strength was like scratching an itch, and the voice was hoarse and weeping, which really didn't have much deterrent effect.
Jin Shen stretched out his hand and grabbed the kicked ankle, his eyes sank slightly, staring at him scorchingly without saying a word.
"let me go!"
Jin Shen turned a deaf ear, leaned over, and reached out to wipe the blood stains from the corner of his mouth.
Xia Chengqi turned his face away, "What exactly do you want? Now you are no more than one person, and the whole court is full of King Gu's people. If you give up today, I can pretend that nothing has happened."
Jinshen paused with his hands in the air, and suddenly laughed, "It seems that I still have to thank you?"
"I just don't want you to get deeper and deeper."
"Getting deeper and deeper?" Jinshen sat down beside his bed, Xia Chengqi struggled to pull his ankle out of his hand, but Jinshen's grip became tighter and tighter, through a thin layer of fabric, he could still feel his ankle. To the warmth of the ankle skin.

Chen Zhen also didn't get up, and smiled with lowered eyebrows, "Your Majesty, the poison of my humble minister has been cured."
"Oh? I don't know which capable person actually detoxified Aiqing? Aiqing might as well tell her, I will definitely reward her."
"That man is just a charlatan, and he doesn't like fame and fortune."
"I don't like fame and wealth..." Xia Chengqi sneered, "Then Ai Qing besieged the Qianqing Palace and closed the city gate, and whose order was it for?"
Chen Zhen stopped talking.
"It must be the person who detoxified Aiqing."
"The emperor forgives the crime."
Xia Chengqi was furious, "Forgive me? Since Aiqing has done it, why bother to ask me to plead guilty."
Chen Zhen remained silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was inexplicably stagnant.
After a long time, Xia Chengqi lazily leaned on the back seat, and waved to Chen Zhen tiredly, "Get back."
"Wei Chen retire."
Chen Zhen bowed and retreated to the outside of the hall, where Jin Shen stood with his hands behind his back, and had been waiting for a long time.
Chen Zhen cupped his hands to signal to him, Jin Shen looked at the plaque of Qianqing Hall indifferently, and said, "What's the matter?"
"The emperor must know it in his heart."
Jin Shen pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Back off."
"Yes."
Now the only person in Beijing who holds the military power is Chen Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War. Jin Shen once thought it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that although Chen Zhen himself didn't care about life and death, he valued the lives of his wife and children more than himself .
Jin Shen chuckled, raised his foot and walked towards the hall.
In the main hall, Xia Chengqi was looking at the memorial before the case in a daze, and Lian Jinshen hadn't reacted when he got close to him.
"emperor."
Xia Chengqi snapped back to his senses, raised his head and saw Jin Shen who was next to him, frowned, and said, "You bought Chen Zhen?"
"He holds the military power in Beijing, so of course I want to buy him off."
"What's the use of you doing this? If King Gu raises his troops back to the capital, and the troops approach the city, a small capital city with [-] troops can hold for a few days."
Jin Shen looked at him with a half-smile, "The Emperor really thinks that King Gu can return to Beijing safely?"
"What do you want to do again?"
"Your majesty, you still don't seem to understand your situation," Jin Shen sighed, and suddenly squeezed Xia Chengqi's wrist, and said with a smile, "Your majesty, why don't you come and issue an imperial edict."
Xia Chengqi secretly thought that it was not good, and struggled, "You are dreaming!"
"It's just an imperial decree." Jin Shen ignored his struggle, took the pen and ink from one side, spread the imperial decree, stuffed the pen into Xia Chengqi's hand, and then covered the back of his hand with his hand, "Jinyu, what's the matter?" Want me to teach you how to write?"
The handwriting is different, and the imperial decree is useless.
Xia Chengqi knew that he was no match for him, so he calmed down a little, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Jinshen leaned into his ear, "I want you to write a decree to demote Prime Minister Wen."
"And then? A hundred officials have no leader, are you trying to let them mess themselves up?"
Jin Shen held his hand, and wrote the word Jin on the imperial decree, flowing and flowing, strong and powerful.
"If you don't want to experience the pain of last night again, it's better to be obedient. As for the purpose, I just know it. You don't need to be too clear."
Thinking of the pain of last night, Xia Chengqi gritted his teeth and said forcefully, "Even if you kill me, I won't..."
"Don't talk big, the poison last night was only three or four out of ten. It's more painful than you have ever experienced. It's true that life is worse than death."
These words really made Xia Chengqi shudder. Last night's pain almost caused him to bite his tongue and commit suicide. Is it only three or four out of ten?
Xia Chengqi's hands trembled angrily, "Wolf-hearted! White-eyed wolf!"
Jinshen held his hand and continued to write, not paying any attention to what he said, "It's all about success and defeat. Back then, I was beaten with thirty lashes and then thrown to the northwest. I almost died at the hands of the people sent by King Gu, after all, God treated me kindly, and escaped from death, you said, shouldn’t I come to King Gu to seek justice?"
Xia Chengqi's hand trembled, "Impossible, how could the emperor send someone to chase you down, you were only ten years old at the time."
"There's nothing impossible." Jin Shen sneered and said, "I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't know who King Gu is."
"I do not believe."
"Of course you don't believe it."
As soon as the words fell, countless Jin characters were densely written on the imperial decree.
Xia Chengqi looked at the full handwriting, and seemed to be a little moved, "Back then, did you really want to kill me?"
"what?"
"That glass of poisoned wine."
"Aren't you still alive and well?" Jinshen took a new imperial decree and spread it in front of Xia Chengqi, "Let's write it."
Xia Chengqi looked at him, "If I don't write, will you really be so ruthless to me?"
"The enemy is now, and I can only do this."
Xia Chengqi looked at him for a long time, as if he didn't know him, suddenly, a tear fell, and he threw the pen in his hand on the case, "Jin Shen, do you have a conscience!"
"I'm just taking back what I deserve. This thousand-mile country cannot fall into the hands of his surname. Write it down."
Xia Chengqi stared at him for a long time, and after a while, tremblingly picked up the pen like the hands of an old man, and wrote down the decree to depose Prime Minister Wen on the edict.
After writing, Jinshen took the jade seal, printed it on the imperial decree, and said with a smile: "I've been so good for a long time, I don't have to suffer last night, and I don't have to go to court these few days. You have a good rest, and I will come to see you when the matter is cleared up." you."
After finishing speaking, Jinshen walked out of the hall with the imperial decree in a good mood.
Xia Chengqi looked at Jinshen's back, his eyes were slightly cloudy, and he called out to the side hall, "Grandpa Lu, is that what you said, Shen Jing and Shen's bodyguard died for the country?"
Eunuch Lu came out with trembling legs, knelt down in the hall abruptly, faltering and saying: "There are some in the urgent report of the prince... that's true, the servant did not misread it."
"Forget it," Xia Chengqi sat down, "Go down."
Lu Fu looked at Xia Chengqi, and suddenly took a few steps on his knees, clutching Xia Chengqi's lapel, crying in pain, "Your Majesty, you must take care of your health, and you must not lose your mind for a while. There is always a chance, my lord martial arts!" Gao Qiang, none of the assassins sent by the former crown prince succeeded, and they will surely put down the rebellion in the northwest, as long as you recharge your energy, you will be able to escape the danger when the prince returns."
Xia Chengqi laughed, "What are you talking about? Do I seem to be the kind of person who can't think about it? But you just said, the assassin sent by the former prince? When did it happen?"
"It was the night before the former crown prince returned to Beijing, many assassins came to the palace, wanting to assassinate the prince."
Xia Chengqi thought to himself, feeling something was wrong, "Then why don't I know."
"At that time, the prince was injured, so he ordered the servant not to publicize it."
"Injured? What's going on?"
Lu Fu shut up later, "This... the prince won't let me say it."
"Say!"
Only then did Lu Fu hesitate and said: "Back then when the assassin entered the mansion, there must have been someone from the former prince who had already responded to the mansion. In order to protect you, the prince was stabbed in the shoulder blade by the assassin, and it took more than half a month to recover."
Xia Chengqi frowned, "But... I don't know at all."
"My lord ordered that you don't need to know."
Xia Chengqi shook his head, "Why didn't you let me know..."
"Perhaps the prince doesn't want you to be disappointed with the former prince."
Xia Chengqi recalled that when the Crown Prince returned to Beijing, King Gu once asked him whether he was looking forward to it or not, what he said at that time, excitedly said he was happy, said he was looking forward to it...
Xia Chengqi waved his hand, "Understood, let's go down."
Lu Fu quietly glanced at Xia Chengqi, but quietly backed away without saying anything.
Jinshen acted like King Gu, and acted vigorously. On the same day, he passed this decree to Prime Minister Wen's mansion. Wen Yuan was deposed, all the officials were leaderless, the emperor dismissed the court, the Qianqing Palace was besieged, the capital was closed, and the northwest was in chaos. All of a sudden, the wind rang and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the ministers had no determination and were in panic all day long.
Xia Chengqi was trapped in the Palace of Qianqing. Besides Lu Fu, the only people he saw every day were Jinshen and Chen Zhen. He didn't know anything about the war with the Northwest in the court hall. Seeing that half a month had passed, it was still a little bit. No news either.
Far away in the northwest, King Gu retreated his troops back to his camp, took off his heavy armor, and closed his eyes for a nap. It has been more than a month since the army had traveled long distances to the northwest, and 30 troops defeated King Duan's rebels. This, can't move.
Not long after, a guard from outside the tent begged to see him, Gu Wanggu tapped on the table with his fingers, and said, "Come in."
A guard in military uniform came into the tent, handed a letter in front of King Gu, and stood respectfully at one side.
King Gu opened the letter, glanced at the three lines, read it, put the thin paper letter in front of the case, and tapped his fingertips, "It seems that the situation in Beijing is not very good."
The guard said respectfully: "The words to return to the prince are still under control."
"Under control?" King Gu sneered, his aura forced the guard to lower his eyebrows, "How is the situation in the palace?"
The guard immediately said: "There is news that the Palace of Qianqing is besieged."
boom--
Gu Wang slammed on the case in a circle, and said sharply: "How long will it take for Fengming City to be captured?"
Fengming City is the only place to go to the capital from the northwest. King Gu's army passed all the way and forced King Duan's rebels to Fengming City. King Duan occupied the city, threatening the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city. , will slaughter the city, and die together with the people in this city.
"Fengming City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. King Duan's rebels are in the hands of the people, so if they don't surrender or fight, it seems that they are delaying time."
"Of course he is procrastinating, and he can't procrastinate any longer. If it is too late, things will change," King Gu said in a deep voice, looking at the sky filled with yellow sand outside the tent, "You go and pick out ten agile guards in person. Let's explore Fengming City at night together."
The guard cupped his hands, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Gu Wang shifted his gaze to the letter on the case, picked it up again, read it carefully again and again, and frowned.
Time is running out, he can't delay any longer, and Jinyu will be more dangerous if he delays for one more day.
But Jinyu, can you understand what Uncle Huang means?
King Gu closed his eyes deeply, feeling uneasy, and the same was true for Xia Chengqi in the Qianqing Palace, who had been trapped for more than half a month, and Jinshen hadn't appeared for several days, Xia Chengqi became more flustered when he didn't show up.
"The humble minister joins the emperor."
A voice came from the gate of the palace, Xia Chengqi looked over, and saw Chen Zhen standing at the door, bowing his hands in salute.
"Aiqing is here again. I don't know what it is to come here today."
Chen Zhen went to the palace, raised his head and said to Xia Chengqi: "Your Majesty, I have come to inform you that you should go to court tomorrow."
"Going to court? What court to go to?"
"You haven't been to court for half a month, and now all the officials are in panic all day long, of course you have to stand up to appease people's hearts."
"Don't think about it!"
Chen Zhen took a few steps forward and said to Xia Chengqi: "Why is the emperor so stubborn? Gu Wang is far away in the northwest, and he can't quench his thirst. The emperor has to find a way to protect himself is the best policy."
"Self-protection? Self-protection is to appease your hearts?"
Chen Zhen said again: "Actually, there is one thing that you may not know about, Your Majesty."
"what's up?"
"King Gu was in the northwest, when he attacked Fengming City, he was seriously injured, and now he is probably dying."
"Shut up!" Xia Chengqi said angrily, "What nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, King Gu is also a body of flesh and blood. Naturally, there are accidents on the battlefield. Even if King Gu died in battle, it would be..."
Xia Chengqi came down suddenly and kicked Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen accidentally knelt down on the ground, covered his stomach with his hands, and frowned silently.
Xia Chengqi felt that it was not enough, stepped forward and kicked Chen Zhenlai as if to vent his anger.
Chen Zhen gritted his teeth and held back, Xia Chengqi kicked hard on the shoulder, Chen Zhen couldn't help it anymore, stood up, grabbed Xia Chengqi's hand, looked at each other, Chen Zhen's words were faintly filled with anger, " Your majesty, I hope you have self-knowledge!"
With a violent shake of his hand, Xia Chengqi staggered back a few steps.
Chen Zhen cupped his hands again, and said with a sneer: "I have brought the words of my minister, I hope the emperor will take care of it, and I will leave."
When Chen Zhen stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, Xia Chengqi was so angry that he overturned all the memorials before the case, and Lu Fu stepped forward to try to persuade him, but Xia Chengqi said angrily: "Back off, I don't want to see anyone! "
Lu Fu had no choice but to back down, Xia Chengqi approached the side hall, his chest heaved up and down, obviously very angry.
After a long while, when the breath subsided, he slowly released his clenched right hand, and a round black pill appeared in the palm of his hand.
