Brother Beggar refuses to beg

In the 23rd year of the Dayuan Dynasty, King Qi forced the palace to rebel at the Mid-Autumn Banquet, and [-]% of the imperial guards turned against each other, trapping the emperor and his officials in the Xuanhe Hall.

The gates of the four palaces of the Daming Palace were full of Gyeonggi guards and imperial guards, and Xie Guogong, who had been vigilant for a long time, arranged for them.When they discovered that the palace gate was abnormally closed, the remaining [-] masters of the Xie family in Beijing rushed over and hid near the palace gate, waiting for the signal from the palace to move out.

They waited until Xuanhe Hall lit up with a large area of ​​fire, waited until the smell of blood came from the wind, and waited until the fire that illuminated the night sky gradually weakened.

In the end, he didn't wait for the opportunity to shed his blood for the Xie family and bravely enter the forbidden palace, but only waited for a series of amazing news.

The prince angrily reprimanded the king of Qi for being unfaithful and unfilial. He took the lead and brought the forbidden army who had not rebelled to resist, and fought hand-to-hand with the king of Qi.

The king of Qi didn't care about brotherhood at all, killed his brother with his own hands, and the prince died.

When the rebel army was about to take control of the entire Daming Palace, a mysterious knight who descended from the head broke into the Xuanhe Hall and confronted the rebel army head-on.And broke through the blockade of dozens of dead soldiers, killed King Qi in one fell swoop, and ended the real anticlimactic coup.

The emperor saw brothers killing each other, lost two sons, and did not go to court for several days. The prime minister Zhou Li was in charge of dealing with the subsequent rebellion.

Prime Minister Zhou used thunder to clean the court, and many courtiers suffered. A large number of people were executed every day, and the whole Ningdu was panicked for a while.

August 23, the emperor's bedroom.

It was rumored that the emperor, who didn't care about the government, was sitting on a chair, and his unshaven face couldn't hide his shrewd and gloomy eyes.

"Your Majesty, the liquidation of the rebel party is coming to an end, and there are too many people involved. Now there are many vacancies in the imperial court, which may cause turmoil in the current situation." Prime Minister Zhou bowed and stood in the hall, his expression very worried.

The emperor threw him a secret letter, and said indifferently: "Here is the list of available people, and you can deal with it accordingly."

Prime Minister Zhou stepped forward to take it, opened it for a general look, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the clean-up of the rebel party has already shaken the foundations of many aristocratic families. If you don't give comfort to the aristocratic family, I'm afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction."

"The crime of treason should be punished by the nine clans. I have already given them enough grace. Those old foxes will accept it when they see it, and they will not make trouble for the time being." The emperor looked at him with gloomy eyes, unfocused, as if in a trance, "They I don't want to fight to the death, everyone just tacitly takes a step back."

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body." Knowing the emperor's intention, Prime Minister Zhou didn't want to wait any longer.

He knows better than anyone else that the emperor has high hopes for the prince, but the prince has always been unsatisfactory, and he is no match for the fifth prince.The emperor once sighed to him, how great it would be if the prince had the ability of the fifth prince, or if the fifth prince was descended from the empress of Yuan Dynasty.

Now that the two princes died at the same time, the emperor no longer had to weigh and entangle between them.It's just that this must be a huge blow to him. Even if he is the emperor, he is still unavoidable. He will naturally be sad when he is born, old, sick and dying.

Prime Minister Zhou didn't dare to say any more after persuading him. He moved his body and was about to leave, but a deep sigh came from his ear: "I should take good care of my health and entrust the country to him firmly." .”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Zhou was startled for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and his heart was beating like a drum. He even forgot what he was going to do, and stood stiffly on the spot and stopped moving.

The implied meaning of the emperor's words is astonishing. Except for the much-loved prince and the fifth prince with extraordinary aptitude, his other sons are either mediocre or unpopular. Who else can take over the Dayuan Dynasty after a hundred years? ?

From the emperor's point of view, he obviously already has a favorite candidate!

"Zhou Aiqing." The emperor's ecstatic gaze did not move, and he seemed to be in a daze. "The Northwest matter is proceeding according to the original plan. Tell Maodun Shanyu that Duan Lin must be dealt with. How much the Northwest Army can solve depends on them. It's up to you."

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter, Prime Minister Zhou was stunned, and said falteringly: "Your Majesty, Fifth Prince, this..."

Originally, the purpose of killing Duan Houye and severely defeating the Northwest Army was to point the finger at the fifth prince, and then he could kill three birds with one stone, which not only eliminated the serious troubles in his confidant, but also suppressed the fifth prince who was in the limelight, and paved the way for the prince. .

But now that the five princes are all dead, and the prince died earlier than him, who will take the blame?

"Hmph." Thinking of this, the emperor came back to his senses, his eyes sharpened, "Whoever said that a dead person can't make waves."

Knowing the son is not like the father, he had already guessed that the fifth child would turn against him one day, and there would be no hidden dangers for himself, but he was just planning, and he would deal with this ambitious son after Duan Lin was dealt with.

When the fifth prince was forcing the palace, he was calmly thinking about keeping this rebellious son alive no matter what, so that he would make the best use of his things so that he would not waste his life.

Unexpectedly, a rescuer came out halfway, without a wink, when the emperor frantically hinted at the relationship between father and son and wanted to let the fifth prince go, that person slapped him.

The result was that the fifth prince, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was physically strong, vomited blood and died after being beaten and rolled twice.

Prime Minister Zhou understood the emperor's thoughts and bowed to leave. When he was leaving, he heard the cry of a child, which was very clear in the silent palace.

Dare to make such a noise in the emperor's bedroom, except for one person in the entire Daming Palace who doesn't think about it, all the doubts of Prime Minister Zhou suddenly became clear.

After a bold guess surfaced, he couldn't hold it down any longer, and the soft words that sounded in the bedroom made Wen Wen even more terrified. He could basically conclude that his guess should be correct.

The emperor wanted to hear the news to the Ninth Prince, who is only three years old now!

Most of the vacancies in the list for promotion are from poor families, just to cultivate wings for the nine princes who were not born high enough.

No wonder he said he should take care of his body so that he can have time to protect the Ninth Prince when he grows up!

So when did the emperor move the mind of the ninth prince?

After the death of the crown prince and fifth prince?Was it when the prince made repeated mistakes in recent years?Was it when he realized that the fifth prince was planning to rebel?Or earlier, when the Ninth Prince was born?

Or is it the other way around?The fifth prince is the smartest, did he also guess the emperor's mind, and was forced to seize the throne in order to save his life?

Thinking about it this way, thinking carefully, Prime Minister Zhou wiped the cold sweat that was about to fall from his forehead, and found that the emperor was really unfathomable.He thought he was the emperor's absolute confidant, but he still couldn't figure out his thoughts.

People say that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, but this is a joke in the emperor's house.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Emperor: Where the hell did this come from!

Yin Su:? ?Are you talking about me? ?

To put it simply, the emperor loves the Empress Yuan, Ai Wu and Wu like the prince and pave the way for the prince, but the prince is just a piece of mud that can't support the wall.

The fifth prince is fierce and intelligent, but unfortunately his mother's family is powerful and the emperor is afraid, so he will never pass on the throne to him.

The emperor and the fifth prince were plotting and fighting with each other. In the end, Jiang was still too old and hot, so the emperor planned to use his tricks.It's a pity that the wishful thinking was shattered by the beggar's mistaken palm.
