People who have been teased by me say they won't let me go [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 94 King's Landing (22)
Xia Chengqi stopped in his tracks and stood there in shock.
King Gu has always regarded himself as the elder of the emperor's uncle, and his subject is also the regent who holds great power.
Slightly surprised, he frowned and said, "Uncle Huang, what are you doing?"
Gu Wang respectfully said: "This humble minister has the courage to lead the way for the emperor, capture the imperial city, and take down the traitor Jinshen."
Xia Chengqi was stunned, but regained his senses in an instant, smiled and stretched out his hand, helped King Gu up, and said: "Then I will trouble Uncle Huang with this matter."
Gu Wang stood up, looked at him, and suddenly stopped talking.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
King Gu asked, "What will happen to Jinshen on the day the city breaks down?"
Xia Chengqi pursed his lips tightly and his eyes flickered slightly.
Selfishly, he doesn't want Jinshen to die, at least Jinshen can't die before capturing his true value.
But King Gu...
Xia Chengqi hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "Uncle Huang, if possible, can you spare his life?"
"Leave him alive?"
"Yes!" Xia Chengqi stopped hiding and said openly, "Uncle Huang, I want to spare his life."
"He treats you like this, and you still want to save his life?"
Xia Chengqi used that set of excuses again, "He is always my elder brother."
Gu Wang frowned, looked at him, and said slowly: "What if I say that he is not your biological elder brother?"
Xia Chengqi looked at him in disbelief, his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
What surprised him was not the relationship between himself and Jinshen, but that King Gu knew about it.
But now in front of King Gu, he had to pretend to be stupid.
"A brother who is not a direct relative? What does Uncle Huang mean by that?"
"Uncle Huang means that you and Jinshen are not biological brothers."
Xia Chengqi's smile froze for an instant, and he said with a sneer: "How is this possible..."
"Why is it impossible? Do you still remember that the former prince was neither cold nor cold to you when he returned to Beijing? That's because you are just Li Daitao's stiff, chosen shield for his son to ward off disasters in the palace all these years."
Xia Chengqi's face was surprised, as if he couldn't believe it, "Uncle Huang, don't lie to me."
King Gu stepped forward and hugged him in his arms, "Uncle Huang will not lie to you, but you have to remember that even though you don't know who you are or where you come from, Uncle Huang will always be by your side."
Xia Chengqi murmured to himself: "How is it possible? How could I not be the son of my father, then... If I am not, then how can I sit on the throne?"
Gu Wang frowned, looked at him with a rare serious expression, "If you don't do it, who else will sit?"
Xia Chengqi frowned, "But I'm not...Since the emperor knows, why did he embrace me to sit on the throne?"
"Jinyu, don't worry. Uncle Huang let you sit on this throne. It doesn't matter what your name is or where you come from. Now that you are seated, sit down safely."
"but……"
King Gu laughed and said, "Actually, Jinshen is not of royal blood either."
Xia Chengqi looked at a loss.
King Gu smiled and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, it's not the first time that the former crown prince treated you and Jinshen. The former emperor also treated me and the former crown prince in the same way."
Xia Chengqi vaguely understood something, and the fog that had lingered in his mind for many years disappeared instantly.
No wonder the former emperor favored King Gu so much, and entrusted all military power to King Gu, and even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all from King Gu.
"This……"
"When the late emperor was the prince, he set up people to frame him. The situation at that time was no different from that of the previous prince. He was rejected by others. In desperation, the late emperor replaced me with Li Daitao in order to keep the newborn me. "
Xia Chengqi was really shocked at this moment, "Then why did the emperor give up the throne to me? This throne should not belong to me, nor should it belong to Jin Shen, but to the emperor's uncle."
Gu Wang smiled, "Is there any need to divide between you and me? Isn't what's yours mine?"
"But it's different!" Xia Chengqi said in a serious voice, "This belongs to the emperor's uncle, so the emperor's uncle should take it!"
Gu Wang was amused by Xia Chengqi's serious tone, "Then what should we do now? The whole world knows that the current emperor is a young kid named Jinyu, and the emperor's uncle Mao hastily ascended the throne. Jinyu is not afraid of the emperor's uncle. People all over the world pointed at the spine and scolded him as a traitor? After the death of the emperor's uncle, those historians still can't figure out how to arrange the emperor's uncle to control the government. What kind of villain is he? Jinyu wants the emperor's uncle to suffer such infamy and die. Is there any rest in the future?"
Xia Chengqi looked at King Gu and said nothing.
"What's the matter? Jin Yuke still insists on wanting Uncle Huang to be the emperor?"
"But if the uncle ascended the throne from the very beginning, he wouldn't have so many scruples."
"Fool, the emperor's name is not justified. No matter when he ascended the throne, he would be scolded secretly. What's more, you were a grandson eight years ago. Your ascension to the throne is justified."
"But I have taken what should have belonged to you, Uncle Emperor."
King Gu leaned into his ear, and whispered in an ambiguous voice, "But Jinyu also used some things to repay, didn't she?"
Xia Chengqi didn't react for a while when he heard it, until he saw Gu Wang's scrutinizing eyes, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he rolled into Gu Wang's arms.
"Don't worry, Jinyu will repay it for one day after she sits on the throne. Jinyu doesn't need to feel guilty, and this king will not suffer."
Xia Chengqi was ashamed and angry, "Uncle Emperor!"
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the camp, we have to prepare for the siege."
When Gu Wang received the rebellion of King Duan, he had already vaguely guessed that it was not so simple. A little King Duan, who had been waiting in the barren land in the northwest for eight years, dared to openly rebel, would he die?
Gu Wang, who left behind a move, was finally able to counterattack when Jin Shen bared his fangs.
There are [-] troops left by King Gu in the land of Miaojiang, different from the [-] soldiers guarding the imperial city, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals.
The [-] soldiers and horses rushed to the capital with lightning speed after a few days of repairing. When Jinshen received the order, he tore up the letter and scolded King Duan, which was a rare gaffe.
It's no wonder that he tried so hard back then, even taking advantage of the former crown prince's ten-year deployment in the Northwest, to bury King Gu in Fengming City, not to mention a [-]% certainty, an [-]% to [-]% certainty. , I didn't expect that King Duan was so incompetent, how could he not be angry if he failed to keep King Gu who took the risk to visit Fengming City alone at night.
Jinshen was fighting to the death. All his deployments were based on the death of King Gu. He had planned that if King Gu returned to the capital safely, he could hold Jinyu hostage at that time, so as to threaten King Gu to submit. , but now that Jinyu has escaped, he has nothing but the [-] soldiers and horses in the imperial city.
Jin Shen violently overturned all the memorials on the case to the ground.
How can [-] soldiers withstand King Gu's [-] soldiers? Even if they can withstand it, they can withstand it for a few days!
The hidden guard beside him persuaded him to abandon the city and flee, Jin Shendang even killed the hidden guard.
escape?
Where else can I escape?
And want to hide your name and put on someone else's face, and someone else's name just barely survives?
He would rather perish together than run away!
Jin Shen frowned and closed his eyes thinking for a moment.
The bargaining chip in his hand now is only [-] soldiers and horses, and this imperial city.
This imperial city...
Jin Shen suddenly opened his eyes, this imperial city!
"Come on!"
A person walked in outside the hall, "Your subordinate is here."
"Where are King Gu's troops now?"
"As the prince said, King Gu's soldiers and horses are now stationed twenty miles outside the imperial city. Just now, King Gu sent someone to negotiate a peace."
Jinshen sneered, "Negotiating peace? Where's the person?"
"Outside the hall."
Jin Shen waved his hand, "Kill it."
The guard bowed and said, "Yes."
When the guard was about to leave the hall, Jinshen called him back, "Wait, don't kill, the two soldiers are fighting, don't kill them, so, tell that man, just say what the king said, don't kill him before noon tomorrow. Act rashly and ask King Gu to hand over his military power, otherwise, this king will set fire to the imperial city! Massacre the city!"
The guard was startled and responded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Not far away, the palace was as dense as mountains, and the wealth and imperial power floated in front of him. Jin Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of Xia Chengqi.
King Gu's envoy returned to the barracks and passed Jinshen's words to King Gu. King Gu didn't show any strange expression, but Xia Chengqi jumped up and down.
"What! Burn the imperial city? Is he crazy? There are so many people in the capital, he wants to massacre the city?"
This trick was used in Fengming City at that time, Fengming City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is really difficult to attack for a while, but this imperial city is different, if it is a strong attack, it may take half a day to take it down.
"No, this won't work? Uncle Emperor, can we attack the city tonight?"
King Gu pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "No, although the imperial city is not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Fengming City, but people like Jinshen do what they say, if they attack the city rashly, the people in the city will die before they get in. It has been murdered."
"Then..." Xia Chengqi gritted his teeth, "I'll go."
"What are you going for?"
"I'll go talk to him."
"Talk? Talk about what? How?"
Xia Chengqi's eyes were firm, "Influence him!"
"Let him put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?"
"Better so!"
Gu Wang shook his head and laughed, "You stay here obediently, I'll go tonight!"
"Are you going?" Xia Chengqi also shook his head imitatingly, "No, you can't go, even if you are very skilled in martial arts, you can't be defeated by one enemy, you were injured in Fengming City, and now you want to enter the imperial city at night? "
"Don't worry, I will return safely. I still have a slight chance of winning if I go. If you go, I'm afraid he will have another bargaining chip."
Xia Chengqi was choked immediately, he didn't know martial arts, so if he went, he would be a turtle in his urn, so he could catch every one.
"Then you must be careful."
"Don't worry, wait for my triumphant return."
A guard brought him night clothes, Xia Chengqi undressed him, changed the clothes, and finally hugged him tightly, "You promised me, you will return safely, you can't go back on it, if you go back on it, I won't let you go." Pass you!"
King Gu also hugged him tightly, speaking calmly and forcefully, he promised: "I promise you, Uncle Huang will return safely."
The night was quiet, the moonlight quietly disappeared behind the clouds, and there was no light. King Gu, dressed in black, blended into the boundless night with ten agile guards, without seeing his figure.
Xia Chengqi stood in front of the tent, with the twilight in front of him, raised his hand, Xia Chengqi seemed to lose sight of everything, only the vast and boundless night in front of him.
I don't know how long he stood in front of this tent, it was so long that Xia Chengqi couldn't even feel his legs, his palms were full of sweat, and his back was wet a lot.
Until the twilight slowly fell, the place where the sky and the earth meet showed a gleam of whiteness, and the sound of the horse's hooves came from not far away, reined in the horse, got off the horse and knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "My Majesty, Gu The king has already captured Jinshen and put him in prison, and now he has stabilized the situation in the palace, and invites the emperor to return to the palace to preside over the overall situation."
Xia Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief, and staggered backward with his stiff legs. If the guard beside him hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have knelt down.
Stabilizing his heels slightly, he asked the guard, "How is King Gu?"
"King Gu is fine."
"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine..." Xia Chengqi muttered to himself, finally looking at the scorching sun rising, tears streaming down his face.
Xia Chengqi didn't know how thrilling last night was, but the moment he saw King Gu outside the city gate, he understood that he owned the whole world.
Gu Wang saw that his complexion was not very good, his eyes were slightly red, he must have been up all night last night, even though he desperately wanted to hold him in his arms, he still stopped in his tracks, stood one meter away from him, and knelt on one knee On the ground, he cupped his hands and said: "Report to the emperor, I have captured the traitor Jinshen and brought him to justice, and I invite the emperor to return to the palace."
The guards behind King Gu said in unison: "Please return to the palace, Your Majesty!"
Xia Chengqi glanced, and all the people he saw knelt down and bowed their heads.
Stepping forward a few steps, he lifted Gu Wang up with one hand, and kissed him lightly on the lips, but the kiss was only for a moment, and he fled quickly.
Xia Chengqi whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Uncle Huang, Jinyu is very happy, you can keep your promise."
Gu Wang responded to him with a smile, "I won't lie to you."
Only this sentence is enough.
Xia Chengqi returned to the palace surrounded by the crowd, the palace guards were orderly, it seemed that all this had never changed, like a big dream, Xia Chengqi never fled, Jinshen never came back.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Xia Chengqi couldn't wait to take off King Gu's clothes. When he saw a finger-wide knife wound on King Gu's waist, he was so distressed that he wept.
"What's wrong? It's just a small injury."
"This is not a small injury, it is so long and deep, it must be very painful."
Gu Wang was still sutured by the imperial doctor, Xia Chengqi kept yelling at the imperial doctor to be gentle, seeing that the imperial doctor's hands were shaking, Gu Wang hugged him in his arms with a smile, and said in a muffled voice : "Holding you, Uncle Huang won't hurt anymore."
The imperial doctor didn't dare to look or listen, and concentrated all his attention on the wound.
After finally dealt with it, Jinyu asked the imperial physician again, Gu Wang smiled and asked the imperial physician to step down, "Don't be careful, it's fine."
Xia Chengqi looked at the white gauze-wrapped waist, and stroked it gently, "Uncle Huang, you can't get wet or exercise these few days, you need to rest well, you know?"
"Why does Uncle Huang feel that you are teaching children a lesson?"
"You are a patient, so you have to listen to me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but it's too much to not be able to move... Uncle Huang still thinks that Jinyu can repay Uncle Huang."
Xia Chengqi lay in his arms, gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then let go, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's good for Uncle Huang to lie down and don't need to move."
Gu Wang was taken aback, he knew that Xia Chengqi wanted to save face, and he never wanted to do weird things in bed, but he didn't expect to say that today, it must be a surprise.
"Uncle Huang didn't hear what you said just now, so say it again."
Xia Chengqi blushed, "I said, Uncle Huang doesn't need to touch, and I can also pay Uncle Huang back."
"Don't move, what do you mean?"
Xia Chengqi was thin-skinned, he couldn't bear it after being questioned repeatedly, stood up angrily, and stomped his feet, "I'll do it myself, that's fine."
King Gu smiled with satisfaction, "Okay."
Damn so angry.
Seeing King Gu happy, Xia Chengqi took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle Emperor, where is Jinshen imprisoned?"
"In the prison." Gu Wang still had the same smile on his face, "What? Want to meet him?"
Xia Chengqi nodded, "I want to tell him the truth, so that he won't keep saying that I robbed him."
"I promised you before that I would keep him alive. As for how to deal with him from now on, you can decide for yourself, as long as I don't get hurt again."
Xia Chengqi repeatedly assured, "Uncle, don't worry, I will solve it and never let him have another chance."
"Go, I haven't slept all night, and I'm tired."
"Then the emperor has a good rest." Xia Chengqi covered him with a quilt thoughtfully, helping him tuck the corners of the quilt just like how King Gu tucked the corners of the quilt for him in the past.
Lu Fu and Bai Zhi were still waiting outside the hall, when they saw Xia Chengqi, they burst into tears.
"The servant thought he would never see the emperor again."
Xia Chengqi comforted the two of them, thinking of Chen Zhen who helped him escape before, he couldn't help feeling a great pain in his heart.
"You take good care of the lord, I have something to do, go to the prison."
"Yes."
Leading a group of guards, Xia Chengqi headed towards the prison in a mighty manner.
Today, the sky prison is surrounded like iron walls, not a single mosquito can fly out, when Xia Chengqi arrived, the guards of the sky prison had just killed several hidden guards who came to rob the prisoners.
"What about people?"
The guards of the sky prison bowed and led Xia Chengqi to walk in, the more he walked in, the colder and darker it became, and the air smelled of decay and putrefaction.
Xia Chengqi frowned.
Walking to the end of the prison, I saw Jinshen leaning against the wall.
The handsome and handsome young man who was once handsome and unrestrained is no longer the same as before. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
"Open the door."
The chains rattled, the guard opened the cell door, Xia Chengqi stepped in, condescendingly looked down at Jinshen who was tightly chained to the wall in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Brother..."
Jin Shen raised his head and gave him a cold look, his eyes were full of deep coldness.
"You came?"
His voice was hoarse, and the smell of blood came to his face.
"Look at my joke?"
Xia Chengqi waved his hand, and the people outside the prison prepared the food and wine and bowed to leave.
Jinshen looked at the food and wine placed in front of him, "Practice wine?"
Xia Chengqi sat down in front of him without saying a word, put a wine glass in front of him, filled it up, and poured himself another glass.
Jin Shen looked at him with a half-smile, picked up the glass of wine in front of him without hesitation, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Good wine!"
"Of course it's good wine. I brewed this wine myself and buried it underground for eight years."
Jin Shen's thoughts moved slightly.
"Eight years? Which eight years ago?"
"Eight years ago when you first came to Prince Gu's Mansion," Xia Chengqi said with a smile, "You don't know, I buried a jar of wine quietly, waiting for us to drink together when we grow up."
Jinshen took Xia Chengqi's flagon again and poured himself a full glass, "Thank you."
Speechless for a while.
Xia Chengqi looked at his body dripping with blood and was extremely embarrassed, "I heard that you are seriously injured, do you want me to call you the imperial physician?"
Jinshen sneered when he heard this, leaned lazily against the wall, looked into Xia Chengqi's eyes, "Tell me why you did this to me."
"what?"
"I obviously wanted to take your throne and hurt you once. Why do you still show such sympathy to me? Are you pitying me? Shouldn't you hate me?"
Xia Chengqi lowered his eyebrows, "You are my elder brother."
"I'm not!"
"I know you are not, but I just believe that you are my brother."
"why?"
"You are the first person to teach me how to write."
Jin Shen turned his head away and didn't speak.
"Brother, there is something I want to tell you." Xia Chengqi looked at him, "You said before that I robbed what originally belonged to you, but you never thought about it, and I also took the responsibility for you. Bear things, in those years, I was in the cold palace, I had a bad life, they beat me and bullied me, I was alone on the wooden board, wrapped in a worn-out quilt, I was really cold.”
Jin Shen pursed her lips tightly and turned her head slightly.
"I've always wanted someone to protect me, even though he can't bully those who bully me back, at least he can hug me when I'm cold, brother, that's how I got here for ten years, I endured it for you Don't you have anything to say to me in the ten years you should bear?"
Jinshen looked at the jug in front of him, picked it up, and poured it into his mouth.
Countless fragrant wine flowed down the jaw, soaking the front of the chest.
The smell of blood, the stench of decay, and the strong aroma of wine filled the cold and dark cell.
"Actually, you don't need to say anything, because the emperor uncle didn't say anything to the prince."
Jin Shen pressed the wine cup to the ground with a bang, "What do you mean?"
"Brother really thought that the first emperor was so foolish that his son would despise him so much that he favored a vassal of the opposite sex with unknown background?"
"So what do you mean!"
"Father's method of Li Daitao's stiffening was left over by the former emperor. I say that, do you understand?"
Jin Shen's face paled instantly, "You mean, you mean..."
"That's what I meant, so brother, my position has never belonged to you, but to the emperor's uncle. I don't owe you, but you owe me those ten years."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Jin Shen said sharply, "You must be lying to me! I will never believe it!"
"Brother, why should you deceive yourself? How could the late emperor be so ignorant? He gave all the military power to King Gu. Even the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty were all from King Gu. What did the emperor mean by making me his grandson?" Don’t you understand? I just want King Gu to rebel and usurp the throne after I ascend the throne!”
Jinshen muttered to himself, shaking his head in resistance, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Father will not lie to me, that throne, that throne was originally mine!"
The concept that has been adhered to for 18 years is completely shattered in an instant, and the high-rise buildings built on the ground collapsed in an instant.
Jin Shen, who had been placed with high hopes, had been planning for 18 years, and his life and future were involved in his life. In the end, it turned out to be a lie?
Jin Shen lost his composure, his eyes were slightly red, "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."
"elder brother……"
"You lied to me, you lied to me, right? You just wanted to keep your country, that's why you made up such a lie to lie to me."
"Someone said that you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, brother, can't you wake up?"
"Wake up? How to wake up? Tell me, how to wake up! 18 years, not only me, but also my father, for 18 years," Jinshen looked at him, the madness in his eyes disappeared instantly, and said dejectedly: "You let me , let my father and king, how can you feel..."
He really didn't understand why Xia Chengqi, who was already the emperor, could still show such sad eyes and even look at him in pain when facing a person who wanted to take his throne.
"Why did you tell me this, why didn't you kill me with a sword!"
Xia Chengqi shook his head, "I want you to live."
Jinshen caressed his bloody legs, "My leg is broken, and it's meaningless to live."
"Brother..." Xia Chengqi leaned over to hug him regardless of the blood on his body, "Brother, are you cold, are you in pain?"
His motionless body trembled slightly, Xia Chengqi clearly heard a choked sob, and a bean-sized teardrop slipped into his neck, scalding hot.
I don't know if it was blood or tears.
"Jinyu, you should kill me with one sword, then I won't be cold or hurt."
"But, brother, I want you to live a good life and live forever."
Jinshen hugged him tightly, as if wanting to absorb the warmth from his body, choked up and said, "Jinyu, if I dropped that cup of poisonous tea back then and didn't let you drink it, would we be now? so?"
"If I didn't pursue the throne back then, would I teach you how to write now?"
"If back then... if...Jinyu back then, would it have happened?"
Xia Chengqi didn't answer him.
But Jinshen understood, and said in a low voice: "Jinyu, I recognized you as my younger brother from the first time I was in the Qianqing Palace, and later in the East Palace, you helped me pick up branches, and later, you helped me pick up branches for me. I have already liked you, eight years, I have been in Northwest China for eight years, now, I think I am sure of one thing, I like you, Jinyu, I love you."
Xia Chengqi didn't speak.
[Congratulations to the host, the No. 100 strategy character Jin Shen has [-]% sincerity value, and got one sincerity value, and the No. [-] strategy character Gu Cheng has an unknown true value, host, come on! ]
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jinshen pushed him away with a wry smile, closed his eyes, "Let's go."
Xia Chengqi looked at him in a daze, stood up tremblingly, and the sealed memories in his mind tilted out.
"I go first."
Xia Chengqi leaned on the wall and walked out, his expression was uglier than Jin Shen's.
Seeing him coming out, the guard quickly supported him, "Your Majesty?"
"Go back to the palace." Xia Chengqi came back to his senses and said sharply: "Go back to the palace! Go back to the palace immediately!"
"Yes!"
King Gu has always regarded himself as the elder of the emperor's uncle, and his subject is also the regent who holds great power.
Slightly surprised, he frowned and said, "Uncle Huang, what are you doing?"
Gu Wang respectfully said: "This humble minister has the courage to lead the way for the emperor, capture the imperial city, and take down the traitor Jinshen."
Xia Chengqi was stunned, but regained his senses in an instant, smiled and stretched out his hand, helped King Gu up, and said: "Then I will trouble Uncle Huang with this matter."
Gu Wang stood up, looked at him, and suddenly stopped talking.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
King Gu asked, "What will happen to Jinshen on the day the city breaks down?"
Xia Chengqi pursed his lips tightly and his eyes flickered slightly.
Selfishly, he doesn't want Jinshen to die, at least Jinshen can't die before capturing his true value.
But King Gu...
Xia Chengqi hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "Uncle Huang, if possible, can you spare his life?"
"Leave him alive?"
"Yes!" Xia Chengqi stopped hiding and said openly, "Uncle Huang, I want to spare his life."
"He treats you like this, and you still want to save his life?"
Xia Chengqi used that set of excuses again, "He is always my elder brother."
Gu Wang frowned, looked at him, and said slowly: "What if I say that he is not your biological elder brother?"
Xia Chengqi looked at him in disbelief, his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
What surprised him was not the relationship between himself and Jinshen, but that King Gu knew about it.
But now in front of King Gu, he had to pretend to be stupid.
"A brother who is not a direct relative? What does Uncle Huang mean by that?"
"Uncle Huang means that you and Jinshen are not biological brothers."
Xia Chengqi's smile froze for an instant, and he said with a sneer: "How is this possible..."
"Why is it impossible? Do you still remember that the former prince was neither cold nor cold to you when he returned to Beijing? That's because you are just Li Daitao's stiff, chosen shield for his son to ward off disasters in the palace all these years."
Xia Chengqi's face was surprised, as if he couldn't believe it, "Uncle Huang, don't lie to me."
King Gu stepped forward and hugged him in his arms, "Uncle Huang will not lie to you, but you have to remember that even though you don't know who you are or where you come from, Uncle Huang will always be by your side."
Xia Chengqi murmured to himself: "How is it possible? How could I not be the son of my father, then... If I am not, then how can I sit on the throne?"
Gu Wang frowned, looked at him with a rare serious expression, "If you don't do it, who else will sit?"
Xia Chengqi frowned, "But I'm not...Since the emperor knows, why did he embrace me to sit on the throne?"
"Jinyu, don't worry. Uncle Huang let you sit on this throne. It doesn't matter what your name is or where you come from. Now that you are seated, sit down safely."
"but……"
King Gu laughed and said, "Actually, Jinshen is not of royal blood either."
Xia Chengqi looked at a loss.
King Gu smiled and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, it's not the first time that the former crown prince treated you and Jinshen. The former emperor also treated me and the former crown prince in the same way."
Xia Chengqi vaguely understood something, and the fog that had lingered in his mind for many years disappeared instantly.
No wonder the former emperor favored King Gu so much, and entrusted all military power to King Gu, and even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all from King Gu.
"This……"
"When the late emperor was the prince, he set up people to frame him. The situation at that time was no different from that of the previous prince. He was rejected by others. In desperation, the late emperor replaced me with Li Daitao in order to keep the newborn me. "
Xia Chengqi was really shocked at this moment, "Then why did the emperor give up the throne to me? This throne should not belong to me, nor should it belong to Jin Shen, but to the emperor's uncle."
Gu Wang smiled, "Is there any need to divide between you and me? Isn't what's yours mine?"
"But it's different!" Xia Chengqi said in a serious voice, "This belongs to the emperor's uncle, so the emperor's uncle should take it!"
Gu Wang was amused by Xia Chengqi's serious tone, "Then what should we do now? The whole world knows that the current emperor is a young kid named Jinyu, and the emperor's uncle Mao hastily ascended the throne. Jinyu is not afraid of the emperor's uncle. People all over the world pointed at the spine and scolded him as a traitor? After the death of the emperor's uncle, those historians still can't figure out how to arrange the emperor's uncle to control the government. What kind of villain is he? Jinyu wants the emperor's uncle to suffer such infamy and die. Is there any rest in the future?"
Xia Chengqi looked at King Gu and said nothing.
"What's the matter? Jin Yuke still insists on wanting Uncle Huang to be the emperor?"
"But if the uncle ascended the throne from the very beginning, he wouldn't have so many scruples."
"Fool, the emperor's name is not justified. No matter when he ascended the throne, he would be scolded secretly. What's more, you were a grandson eight years ago. Your ascension to the throne is justified."
"But I have taken what should have belonged to you, Uncle Emperor."
King Gu leaned into his ear, and whispered in an ambiguous voice, "But Jinyu also used some things to repay, didn't she?"
Xia Chengqi didn't react for a while when he heard it, until he saw Gu Wang's scrutinizing eyes, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he rolled into Gu Wang's arms.
"Don't worry, Jinyu will repay it for one day after she sits on the throne. Jinyu doesn't need to feel guilty, and this king will not suffer."
Xia Chengqi was ashamed and angry, "Uncle Emperor!"
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the camp, we have to prepare for the siege."
When Gu Wang received the rebellion of King Duan, he had already vaguely guessed that it was not so simple. A little King Duan, who had been waiting in the barren land in the northwest for eight years, dared to openly rebel, would he die?
Gu Wang, who left behind a move, was finally able to counterattack when Jin Shen bared his fangs.
There are [-] troops left by King Gu in the land of Miaojiang, different from the [-] soldiers guarding the imperial city, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals.
The [-] soldiers and horses rushed to the capital with lightning speed after a few days of repairing. When Jinshen received the order, he tore up the letter and scolded King Duan, which was a rare gaffe.
It's no wonder that he tried so hard back then, even taking advantage of the former crown prince's ten-year deployment in the Northwest, to bury King Gu in Fengming City, not to mention a [-]% certainty, an [-]% to [-]% certainty. , I didn't expect that King Duan was so incompetent, how could he not be angry if he failed to keep King Gu who took the risk to visit Fengming City alone at night.
Jinshen was fighting to the death. All his deployments were based on the death of King Gu. He had planned that if King Gu returned to the capital safely, he could hold Jinyu hostage at that time, so as to threaten King Gu to submit. , but now that Jinyu has escaped, he has nothing but the [-] soldiers and horses in the imperial city.
Jin Shen violently overturned all the memorials on the case to the ground.
How can [-] soldiers withstand King Gu's [-] soldiers? Even if they can withstand it, they can withstand it for a few days!
The hidden guard beside him persuaded him to abandon the city and flee, Jin Shendang even killed the hidden guard.
escape?
Where else can I escape?
And want to hide your name and put on someone else's face, and someone else's name just barely survives?
He would rather perish together than run away!
Jin Shen frowned and closed his eyes thinking for a moment.
The bargaining chip in his hand now is only [-] soldiers and horses, and this imperial city.
This imperial city...
Jin Shen suddenly opened his eyes, this imperial city!
"Come on!"
A person walked in outside the hall, "Your subordinate is here."
"Where are King Gu's troops now?"
"As the prince said, King Gu's soldiers and horses are now stationed twenty miles outside the imperial city. Just now, King Gu sent someone to negotiate a peace."
Jinshen sneered, "Negotiating peace? Where's the person?"
"Outside the hall."
Jin Shen waved his hand, "Kill it."
The guard bowed and said, "Yes."
When the guard was about to leave the hall, Jinshen called him back, "Wait, don't kill, the two soldiers are fighting, don't kill them, so, tell that man, just say what the king said, don't kill him before noon tomorrow. Act rashly and ask King Gu to hand over his military power, otherwise, this king will set fire to the imperial city! Massacre the city!"
The guard was startled and responded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Not far away, the palace was as dense as mountains, and the wealth and imperial power floated in front of him. Jin Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of Xia Chengqi.
King Gu's envoy returned to the barracks and passed Jinshen's words to King Gu. King Gu didn't show any strange expression, but Xia Chengqi jumped up and down.
"What! Burn the imperial city? Is he crazy? There are so many people in the capital, he wants to massacre the city?"
This trick was used in Fengming City at that time, Fengming City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is really difficult to attack for a while, but this imperial city is different, if it is a strong attack, it may take half a day to take it down.
"No, this won't work? Uncle Emperor, can we attack the city tonight?"
King Gu pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "No, although the imperial city is not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Fengming City, but people like Jinshen do what they say, if they attack the city rashly, the people in the city will die before they get in. It has been murdered."
"Then..." Xia Chengqi gritted his teeth, "I'll go."
"What are you going for?"
"I'll go talk to him."
"Talk? Talk about what? How?"
Xia Chengqi's eyes were firm, "Influence him!"
"Let him put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?"
"Better so!"
Gu Wang shook his head and laughed, "You stay here obediently, I'll go tonight!"
"Are you going?" Xia Chengqi also shook his head imitatingly, "No, you can't go, even if you are very skilled in martial arts, you can't be defeated by one enemy, you were injured in Fengming City, and now you want to enter the imperial city at night? "
"Don't worry, I will return safely. I still have a slight chance of winning if I go. If you go, I'm afraid he will have another bargaining chip."
Xia Chengqi was choked immediately, he didn't know martial arts, so if he went, he would be a turtle in his urn, so he could catch every one.
"Then you must be careful."
"Don't worry, wait for my triumphant return."
A guard brought him night clothes, Xia Chengqi undressed him, changed the clothes, and finally hugged him tightly, "You promised me, you will return safely, you can't go back on it, if you go back on it, I won't let you go." Pass you!"
King Gu also hugged him tightly, speaking calmly and forcefully, he promised: "I promise you, Uncle Huang will return safely."
The night was quiet, the moonlight quietly disappeared behind the clouds, and there was no light. King Gu, dressed in black, blended into the boundless night with ten agile guards, without seeing his figure.
Xia Chengqi stood in front of the tent, with the twilight in front of him, raised his hand, Xia Chengqi seemed to lose sight of everything, only the vast and boundless night in front of him.
I don't know how long he stood in front of this tent, it was so long that Xia Chengqi couldn't even feel his legs, his palms were full of sweat, and his back was wet a lot.
Until the twilight slowly fell, the place where the sky and the earth meet showed a gleam of whiteness, and the sound of the horse's hooves came from not far away, reined in the horse, got off the horse and knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "My Majesty, Gu The king has already captured Jinshen and put him in prison, and now he has stabilized the situation in the palace, and invites the emperor to return to the palace to preside over the overall situation."
Xia Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief, and staggered backward with his stiff legs. If the guard beside him hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have knelt down.
Stabilizing his heels slightly, he asked the guard, "How is King Gu?"
"King Gu is fine."
"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine..." Xia Chengqi muttered to himself, finally looking at the scorching sun rising, tears streaming down his face.
Xia Chengqi didn't know how thrilling last night was, but the moment he saw King Gu outside the city gate, he understood that he owned the whole world.
Gu Wang saw that his complexion was not very good, his eyes were slightly red, he must have been up all night last night, even though he desperately wanted to hold him in his arms, he still stopped in his tracks, stood one meter away from him, and knelt on one knee On the ground, he cupped his hands and said: "Report to the emperor, I have captured the traitor Jinshen and brought him to justice, and I invite the emperor to return to the palace."
The guards behind King Gu said in unison: "Please return to the palace, Your Majesty!"
Xia Chengqi glanced, and all the people he saw knelt down and bowed their heads.
Stepping forward a few steps, he lifted Gu Wang up with one hand, and kissed him lightly on the lips, but the kiss was only for a moment, and he fled quickly.
Xia Chengqi whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Uncle Huang, Jinyu is very happy, you can keep your promise."
Gu Wang responded to him with a smile, "I won't lie to you."
Only this sentence is enough.
Xia Chengqi returned to the palace surrounded by the crowd, the palace guards were orderly, it seemed that all this had never changed, like a big dream, Xia Chengqi never fled, Jinshen never came back.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Xia Chengqi couldn't wait to take off King Gu's clothes. When he saw a finger-wide knife wound on King Gu's waist, he was so distressed that he wept.
"What's wrong? It's just a small injury."
"This is not a small injury, it is so long and deep, it must be very painful."
Gu Wang was still sutured by the imperial doctor, Xia Chengqi kept yelling at the imperial doctor to be gentle, seeing that the imperial doctor's hands were shaking, Gu Wang hugged him in his arms with a smile, and said in a muffled voice : "Holding you, Uncle Huang won't hurt anymore."
The imperial doctor didn't dare to look or listen, and concentrated all his attention on the wound.
After finally dealt with it, Jinyu asked the imperial physician again, Gu Wang smiled and asked the imperial physician to step down, "Don't be careful, it's fine."
Xia Chengqi looked at the white gauze-wrapped waist, and stroked it gently, "Uncle Huang, you can't get wet or exercise these few days, you need to rest well, you know?"
"Why does Uncle Huang feel that you are teaching children a lesson?"
"You are a patient, so you have to listen to me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but it's too much to not be able to move... Uncle Huang still thinks that Jinyu can repay Uncle Huang."
Xia Chengqi lay in his arms, gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then let go, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's good for Uncle Huang to lie down and don't need to move."
Gu Wang was taken aback, he knew that Xia Chengqi wanted to save face, and he never wanted to do weird things in bed, but he didn't expect to say that today, it must be a surprise.
"Uncle Huang didn't hear what you said just now, so say it again."
Xia Chengqi blushed, "I said, Uncle Huang doesn't need to touch, and I can also pay Uncle Huang back."
"Don't move, what do you mean?"
Xia Chengqi was thin-skinned, he couldn't bear it after being questioned repeatedly, stood up angrily, and stomped his feet, "I'll do it myself, that's fine."
King Gu smiled with satisfaction, "Okay."
Damn so angry.
Seeing King Gu happy, Xia Chengqi took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle Emperor, where is Jinshen imprisoned?"
"In the prison." Gu Wang still had the same smile on his face, "What? Want to meet him?"
Xia Chengqi nodded, "I want to tell him the truth, so that he won't keep saying that I robbed him."
"I promised you before that I would keep him alive. As for how to deal with him from now on, you can decide for yourself, as long as I don't get hurt again."
Xia Chengqi repeatedly assured, "Uncle, don't worry, I will solve it and never let him have another chance."
"Go, I haven't slept all night, and I'm tired."
"Then the emperor has a good rest." Xia Chengqi covered him with a quilt thoughtfully, helping him tuck the corners of the quilt just like how King Gu tucked the corners of the quilt for him in the past.
Lu Fu and Bai Zhi were still waiting outside the hall, when they saw Xia Chengqi, they burst into tears.
"The servant thought he would never see the emperor again."
Xia Chengqi comforted the two of them, thinking of Chen Zhen who helped him escape before, he couldn't help feeling a great pain in his heart.
"You take good care of the lord, I have something to do, go to the prison."
"Yes."
Leading a group of guards, Xia Chengqi headed towards the prison in a mighty manner.
Today, the sky prison is surrounded like iron walls, not a single mosquito can fly out, when Xia Chengqi arrived, the guards of the sky prison had just killed several hidden guards who came to rob the prisoners.
"What about people?"
The guards of the sky prison bowed and led Xia Chengqi to walk in, the more he walked in, the colder and darker it became, and the air smelled of decay and putrefaction.
Xia Chengqi frowned.
Walking to the end of the prison, I saw Jinshen leaning against the wall.
The handsome and handsome young man who was once handsome and unrestrained is no longer the same as before. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
"Open the door."
The chains rattled, the guard opened the cell door, Xia Chengqi stepped in, condescendingly looked down at Jinshen who was tightly chained to the wall in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Brother..."
Jin Shen raised his head and gave him a cold look, his eyes were full of deep coldness.
"You came?"
His voice was hoarse, and the smell of blood came to his face.
"Look at my joke?"
Xia Chengqi waved his hand, and the people outside the prison prepared the food and wine and bowed to leave.
Jinshen looked at the food and wine placed in front of him, "Practice wine?"
Xia Chengqi sat down in front of him without saying a word, put a wine glass in front of him, filled it up, and poured himself another glass.
Jin Shen looked at him with a half-smile, picked up the glass of wine in front of him without hesitation, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Good wine!"
"Of course it's good wine. I brewed this wine myself and buried it underground for eight years."
Jin Shen's thoughts moved slightly.
"Eight years? Which eight years ago?"
"Eight years ago when you first came to Prince Gu's Mansion," Xia Chengqi said with a smile, "You don't know, I buried a jar of wine quietly, waiting for us to drink together when we grow up."
Jinshen took Xia Chengqi's flagon again and poured himself a full glass, "Thank you."
Speechless for a while.
Xia Chengqi looked at his body dripping with blood and was extremely embarrassed, "I heard that you are seriously injured, do you want me to call you the imperial physician?"
Jinshen sneered when he heard this, leaned lazily against the wall, looked into Xia Chengqi's eyes, "Tell me why you did this to me."
"what?"
"I obviously wanted to take your throne and hurt you once. Why do you still show such sympathy to me? Are you pitying me? Shouldn't you hate me?"
Xia Chengqi lowered his eyebrows, "You are my elder brother."
"I'm not!"
"I know you are not, but I just believe that you are my brother."
"why?"
"You are the first person to teach me how to write."
Jin Shen turned his head away and didn't speak.
"Brother, there is something I want to tell you." Xia Chengqi looked at him, "You said before that I robbed what originally belonged to you, but you never thought about it, and I also took the responsibility for you. Bear things, in those years, I was in the cold palace, I had a bad life, they beat me and bullied me, I was alone on the wooden board, wrapped in a worn-out quilt, I was really cold.”
Jin Shen pursed her lips tightly and turned her head slightly.
"I've always wanted someone to protect me, even though he can't bully those who bully me back, at least he can hug me when I'm cold, brother, that's how I got here for ten years, I endured it for you Don't you have anything to say to me in the ten years you should bear?"
Jinshen looked at the jug in front of him, picked it up, and poured it into his mouth.
Countless fragrant wine flowed down the jaw, soaking the front of the chest.
The smell of blood, the stench of decay, and the strong aroma of wine filled the cold and dark cell.
"Actually, you don't need to say anything, because the emperor uncle didn't say anything to the prince."
Jin Shen pressed the wine cup to the ground with a bang, "What do you mean?"
"Brother really thought that the first emperor was so foolish that his son would despise him so much that he favored a vassal of the opposite sex with unknown background?"
"So what do you mean!"
"Father's method of Li Daitao's stiffening was left over by the former emperor. I say that, do you understand?"
Jin Shen's face paled instantly, "You mean, you mean..."
"That's what I meant, so brother, my position has never belonged to you, but to the emperor's uncle. I don't owe you, but you owe me those ten years."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Jin Shen said sharply, "You must be lying to me! I will never believe it!"
"Brother, why should you deceive yourself? How could the late emperor be so ignorant? He gave all the military power to King Gu. Even the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty were all from King Gu. What did the emperor mean by making me his grandson?" Don’t you understand? I just want King Gu to rebel and usurp the throne after I ascend the throne!”
Jinshen muttered to himself, shaking his head in resistance, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Father will not lie to me, that throne, that throne was originally mine!"
The concept that has been adhered to for 18 years is completely shattered in an instant, and the high-rise buildings built on the ground collapsed in an instant.
Jin Shen, who had been placed with high hopes, had been planning for 18 years, and his life and future were involved in his life. In the end, it turned out to be a lie?
Jin Shen lost his composure, his eyes were slightly red, "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."
"elder brother……"
"You lied to me, you lied to me, right? You just wanted to keep your country, that's why you made up such a lie to lie to me."
"Someone said that you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, brother, can't you wake up?"
"Wake up? How to wake up? Tell me, how to wake up! 18 years, not only me, but also my father, for 18 years," Jinshen looked at him, the madness in his eyes disappeared instantly, and said dejectedly: "You let me , let my father and king, how can you feel..."
He really didn't understand why Xia Chengqi, who was already the emperor, could still show such sad eyes and even look at him in pain when facing a person who wanted to take his throne.
"Why did you tell me this, why didn't you kill me with a sword!"
Xia Chengqi shook his head, "I want you to live."
Jinshen caressed his bloody legs, "My leg is broken, and it's meaningless to live."
"Brother..." Xia Chengqi leaned over to hug him regardless of the blood on his body, "Brother, are you cold, are you in pain?"
His motionless body trembled slightly, Xia Chengqi clearly heard a choked sob, and a bean-sized teardrop slipped into his neck, scalding hot.
I don't know if it was blood or tears.
"Jinyu, you should kill me with one sword, then I won't be cold or hurt."
"But, brother, I want you to live a good life and live forever."
Jinshen hugged him tightly, as if wanting to absorb the warmth from his body, choked up and said, "Jinyu, if I dropped that cup of poisonous tea back then and didn't let you drink it, would we be now? so?"
"If I didn't pursue the throne back then, would I teach you how to write now?"
"If back then... if...Jinyu back then, would it have happened?"
Xia Chengqi didn't answer him.
But Jinshen understood, and said in a low voice: "Jinyu, I recognized you as my younger brother from the first time I was in the Qianqing Palace, and later in the East Palace, you helped me pick up branches, and later, you helped me pick up branches for me. I have already liked you, eight years, I have been in Northwest China for eight years, now, I think I am sure of one thing, I like you, Jinyu, I love you."
Xia Chengqi didn't speak.
[Congratulations to the host, the No. 100 strategy character Jin Shen has [-]% sincerity value, and got one sincerity value, and the No. [-] strategy character Gu Cheng has an unknown true value, host, come on! ]
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jinshen pushed him away with a wry smile, closed his eyes, "Let's go."
Xia Chengqi looked at him in a daze, stood up tremblingly, and the sealed memories in his mind tilted out.
"I go first."
Xia Chengqi leaned on the wall and walked out, his expression was uglier than Jin Shen's.
Seeing him coming out, the guard quickly supported him, "Your Majesty?"
"Go back to the palace." Xia Chengqi came back to his senses and said sharply: "Go back to the palace! Go back to the palace immediately!"
"Yes!"
