wish you well

Chapter 20: The Mask

"My condolences to you, old prime minister. At this critical moment, we all have to rely on you to get old. I hope you will take good care of yourself, old prime minister." Minister Yang, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked anxiously and secretively at Prime Minister Zuo, That is Huangpu Tianlei's mother and concubine's father advised him.

"Master Yang, thank you for your concern, but the old man is really heartbroken to lose his beloved grandson! If you say it, you have to blame that Huangpu Tianhao. Doesn't he like to show off his literary and martial arts skills? Why did he pretend to be stupid this time?" I think he is deliberately trying to kill my good grandson this time! It's a pity that my good grandson, who puts the country's righteousness first, has fallen for that despicable Huangpu Tianhao this time!" Prime Minister Zuo's selfish words immediately Attracted the echo of Yang Shangshu.

"Yes! It's really disgusting to think about it! It's just that my lord, what should we do now? If you want to come to the Second Emperor, the world may just belong to him. At that time, he will definitely try to kill us and our family members. , then what should we do? I still hope that the old prime minister will make up your mind." Yang Shangshu and Zuo prime minister then began to plot the final fatal blow to Huangpu Tianhao.

"Yes, now it seems that Huangpu Tianhao is the only successor in the emperor's heart. But if he is in charge of the world, we will not have a good life." Prime Minister Zuo said.

"Yeah, what... what should I do?" Yang Shangshu was also the ants on the hot pot in a mess at this time.

"This world doesn't necessarily belong to Huangpu Tianhao, and he is not the only son left in the emperor. Don't forget that we still have a move, the third prince who is far away in the border town. This person is stupid and listens to the old man since childhood. This world will be owned by this person in the future, and indirectly it will be us... um, Master Yang?" It seems that Prime Minister Zuo is really scheming, even in such a sad and chaotic moment, he can think of using someone who has taken the blame for them people.

"Old Prime Minister, you are indeed very wise, and I admire you. It's just that compared to the two of them, the emperor must prefer Huangpu Tianhao more, so why not?"

"Master Yang, the emperor's body is not as good as before when he is old. You think that what an old person is most afraid of is that his heirs will ignore him, or even turn against him. Why don't Lord Yang help the emperor to expose that Huangpu Tianhao? What about your 'true' face?"

Yang Shangshu understood that Prime Minister Zuo's intention was to work together to perform a play, in order that the emperor would have to bestow Huangpu Tianhao to death in the case of being deceived, and then pass on the throne to the third prince who came back to rescue him.In this way, the entire dynasty was indirectly under the control of his party, Prime Minister Zuo.

Losing a child in old age is something that no one can accept even if you are an emperor.The emperor has been living in his own Hall of Mental Cultivation for the past few days, and he just took the medicine and lay down in the next night, and his heart is still restless, because the team transporting the coffin of the second prince will arrive in the capital before dawn tomorrow.

"My Majesty, Mr. Yang is asking to see you outside the door." At this time, a chief servant knelt outside the bead curtain and reported.

"Let him report tomorrow, I want to calm down now." The old emperor is now in a sad time, and he has no time to listen to other things for a while.

"Back to the emperor, this servant has already told Mr. Yang, but Mr. Yang said that there is a very urgent situation to report, and now he still kneels in front of the door and refuses to get up."

"Hey, help me up." The chief servant hurriedly helped the old emperor up, and walked outside to sit down in front of the emperor's case. "Let's pass on Yang Shangshu."

The old emperor, who was not in good spirits, was sitting behind the imperial case, and saw that Yang Shangshu had a panicked expression as if he was about to cry as soon as he entered the hall.

"What's the matter with Yang Aiqing? You want to see me so eagerly?" Seeing him like this, the old emperor wondered what kind of event would happen in this unstable political situation?

"Damn it, damn it! I failed to protect the emperor's troops!" Yang Shangshu knelt in front of the old emperor, weeping.

"What's the matter? Yang Aiqing, you can tell me directly." The old emperor said.

"Damn it! I failed to protect your troops for the emperor. I heard the urgent report from my subordinates in the afternoon. The Ninth Prince used the original troop transfer card to mobilize thousands of troops under him. It is reported that the Ninth Prince will besiege the Dynasty tonight. Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince, he He is going to rebel! I am afraid that he will be rebellious, and even your life, the emperor..." Yang Shangshu knelt on the ground and said that he was very honest and loyal.

"Crack!" The old emperor slapped the imperial case in front of him heavily, looking extremely sad and angry. "This Wu Nizi! If everything is true, how can he be worthy of his second brother, how can he be worthy of me, and how can he be worthy of the world that his ancestors have worked so hard to build for him to do such a thing at this time!"

Afterwards, the old emperor learned during the inquiry that the Ninth Prince's Mansion had indeed increased a lot of suspicious troops in recent days.He immediately ordered Yang Shangshu to deploy troops to guard the imperial city, and prepared to capture the Ninth Prince Huangpu Tianhao later.

After everyone retreated, the old emperor dared to lean on the dragon chair exhausted physically and mentally.At this time, a person suddenly jumped down from the emperor's beam in the house, holding a cold light sword, it was none other than Huangpu Tianhao who the old emperor wanted to arrest at this time.

"You, you Wu Nizi, why are you here? Do you really want to fight against me here for the revenge of a male favorite?" The old emperor was about to call for escort, when he saw the Ninth Prince also knelt on the ground.The old emperor is confused now, I don't know what's going on?

"Father, the escort came late because of the collusion between Yang Shangshu and Prime Minister Zuo to deceive the father, and I hope that the father forgives the innocence of the son." After finishing speaking, Huangpu Tianhao still knelt on the ground.

"What did you say? Yang Shangshu came to report that you used your troops privately to rebel, but now you come to tell me that they lied to me? What's going on?" The old emperor couldn't make a decision right away.

"Father, you don't know that Yang Shangshu and Prime Minister Zuo have secretly contacted Brother Sanhuang, who was assigned to the border city, to take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between the son and the father, and then seize the opportunity to usurp the throne." Huangpu Tianhao was anxious report to.

"Report to the emperor, there are a large number of soldiers and horses approaching the capital outside the imperial city, and it is reported that the leader seems to be the third prince." At this time, a spy came to report.

"What!! Everything is going against each other!! Now, what should I do now? I believed their rumors and sent Yang Shangshu to defend the city. Now if they cooperate from inside to outside...!"

"Father, why don't you immediately call back all the troops from the South City and the North City to the main city when the opportunity is at stake. At this juncture, there is only one fight!" Huangpu Tianhao suggested.

The old emperor thought over and over again, looked at the only son he could trust beside him, and finally decided to send troops back by Huangpu Tianhao to defend the city.

Huangpu Tianhao took the token of the old emperor, went out of the palace non-stop, took Li Jingqi with him, and mobilized all the garrison troops in the northern and southern cities.The soldiers were divided into two groups, one led by Huangpu Tianhao back to the main city to take down Yang Shangshu and his party, and the other led by Li Jingqi to garrison the city gate to prepare for a battle with the large number of troops assembled by the third prince.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the team led by old general Li to transport the second prince's coffin had just arrived at the foot of the dynasty, when they saw bright lights and the sound of fighting suddenly.There seemed to be two forces fighting inside and outside the city gate, but after careful observation, it was found that the banner of the third prince was being held in the army outside the city gate.Old General Li, the third prince who was dispatched to the barbaric frontier, might have also heard about the death of the second prince. Judging by the situation, he is here to seek power.

At present, Old General Li left more than a hundred troops to guard the coffin of the second prince, and another few hundred troops followed him to attack.

The third prince was told that the time had come to return to the palace, and he deliberately took advantage of the opportunity to return to the palace, but judging from the current situation, what happened in the palace?When they were unable to attack the city, another force attacked them again.

During the chaos, it was the man with the half-mask who saw the opportunity and attacked the commander directly. It was also this man's superb lightness kung fu that killed him all the way in front of the third prince and cut him under the city gate, and then quickly sneaked into him. In the team of Old General Li.

Seeing that the rebellious third prince was beheaded, Li Jingqi opened the city gate to welcome back the coffins of her father and the second prince.

On the side of the palace, Huangpu Tianhao's army was in control, and when Yang Shangshu and Prime Minister Zuo didn't expect it, they quickly took them down.Then he went to the gate of the old emperor's study room and sent all the troops to garrison, and walked into the old emperor's study room by himself.Lifting off his robe, he knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to his father a few times.When the old emperor was getting a little happier, he heard Huangpu Tianhao, who was kneeling on the ground, say, "Father, my ministers have taken down all the thieves."

"Good! Good! Hao'er really lived up to his father's high expectations." The old emperor said happily.

"I have one more thing I want to ask my father? I think the imperial edict for the succession of the father should have been arranged, how about letting me announce it to the world on behalf of my father at this time?" Huangpu Tianhao was not in a hurry. Slow down.

Hearing this, the old emperor's expression changed.The ninth son, Huangpu Tianhao, was really bold and alert. After all his calculations, he still hadn't considered his own son, who was even worse than when he was young.Huangpu Tianhao's words made the old emperor understand that he must pass on the edict to the nine sons today.

Seeing his father's slightly sad expression, Huangpu Tianhao didn't want to use strong tactics against the old emperor, so he said, "Go back to father, the world doesn't need any ministers, but the ancestors' inheritance must be guarded! Father should understand Your ability can no longer be maintained, and besides me, Huangpu Tianhao, there is no one in the world who can take on this important task, so I implore my father to pass on the throne immediately." Huangpu Tianhao knew that he would not take any action, he was afraid that The old emperor will be used by Yang Shangshu and others like tonight, and the world will have to change his surname, not to mention that the world is what he deserves and what that person once tried his best to keep for him.

In 369 Tianyuan, the Ming Dynasty changed.The old emperor completely retreated out of the palace to spend his days, and the Ming emperor Huangpu Tianhao still ordered the second prince to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

At night, Huangpu Tianhao once again came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion where he used to live. It was quiet and only a few servants took care of it.Because Huangpu Tianhao was traveling in private and no one knew of his arrival.Like countless times in the past, he came to Mu Zifan's hut again. This time he jumped on the roof and lay down on the roof, looking at the sky full of stars, and quietly shed a line of tears. He thought that the world was finally for me There is only one person in the world, but where is my lover's scented soul now?

Swish,,, Swish,,, Suddenly there was a sound of slow footsteps outside, Huangpu Tianhao suddenly started beating for no reason, because he had heard and recalled the sound and rhythm of these steps countless times in the past.

Huangpu Tianhao sat on the roof calmly and saw such a tall and straight figure coming from the door, he covered his mouth to prevent himself from being too excited and uncontrollable to disturb him, even if he was just a touch of soul, he couldn't bear it Lost his taste again in this life.

Huangpu Tianhao was so infatuated quietly that he stared at the figure he loved with eyes that were almost greedy. It was only when he walked to the moonlight that he saw half a mask with metallic luster on his face, and then looked at him slowly. Slowly took off the mask, and after seeing his face clearly, Huangpu Tianhao couldn't restrain himself and quickly leaped down, calling softly, "Zi Fan? Is it my Zi Fan?"

Just like giving him the jade hairpin that time, he found Huangpu Tianhao's arrival and wanted to run away, but the history is always surprisingly similar, he was caught by Huangpu Tianhao again and pulled him into his arms tightly Looking at him, greedily breathing in his breath.By the moonlight, Huangpu Tianhao caressed his face inch by inch, and suddenly he felt a strange piece of skin, Huangpu Tianhao said in surprise and heartache, "Zi Fan, my Zi Fan, you, how could you Like this? Was it left behind at that time?"

The author has something to say:

This chapter wants to talk about the reversal effect of living behind each mask, but the one with the silver mask is still the most beautiful.
