Prince of Prey's Little Ginseng Extract [Transmigration Book]

Master Meng got the news in the afternoon. The news was written on a small note and sent by a beggar.

If it wasn't for the private seal of Emperor Chongming on the note, he wouldn't have made a special trip.

He rushed to the palace in a hurry and found that several colleagues were also rushing here.

Several people looked at each other, and an old official spoke first: "Is it because of some news that you are here?"

Worried that only he would receive it, in order not to expose the news, he spoke very cryptically.

This works very well. If other people have not received the news, they don't have to worry about the news leaking in advance. If other people come because of the same thing, they can understand what he said.

Suddenly, another minister looked at him in surprise: "Duke also received it?"

"I also received it." Master Meng said in a deep voice.

At this moment, he knew very well that if he was the only one who received the letter, whether the contents of the letter were true or not would have to be determined, but so many people received it at the same time.

Several people combined and found that they all got the news through the same way.

"This is a big matter, I'd better go to His Highness the Crown Prince and discuss what to do."

Thus, there was a scene where several ministers begged for an audience outside the East Palace at night.

After Xiao Shengyun heard the ins and outs, his face became serious: "If what the adults said is true, and the father is really held hostage by King Cheng, I should have made preparations to welcome the father back to the palace unscathed."

As soon as the news came out, no matter how true or false it was, they couldn't let the matter continue. The king of a country was held hostage. Nothing happened yet, but no one could tell what Prince Cheng would do with Emperor Chongming.

"As of now, King Cheng has aggressively expanded his power in the court, and his purpose is self-evident. How can Jiangshan Sheji allow him to be so presumptuous?!" Duke Guo waved his sleeves and said angrily.

"Exactly, Prince Cheng has already settled down, so he should no longer be involved in various matters in the court."

Except for Meng Shangshu, the others are all veterans of the court, most of them were there when Emperor Chongming came to the throne, followed the ups and downs of Emperor Chongming, and had a certain affection for Emperor Chongming. Emperor Chongming chose them because in this court, Only these people could truly gain Emperor Chongming's trust.

They did not disappoint Emperor Chongming's trust, and did not take the news seriously. The first time they got the news, they went to the palace to meet the prince and try to find a solution.

"Don't worry, everyone. If King Cheng really has a different intention and it is not good for the father, I will be the first to refuse, but it is related to the safety of the father. If the news is true, the father is now in the hands of the king. Hurt the father."

"His Highness's concern is not unreasonable. Prince Cheng has already done such a frenzied thing. If he knows that his plan has been exposed, no one can guarantee what he will do. We should be careful." An old minister stroked his beard. Open your mouth.

Next, several ministers began to discuss how to welcome Emperor Chongming back to the palace without arousing King Cheng's suspicion.

"If King Cheng really has the heart of disobedience, I'm afraid he won't let His Majesty back so easily. After all, his purpose has been exposed in front of His Majesty. He won't be unaware. When the Emperor returns to the palace, the first one to be liquidated will be the one who will be punished." It will be him." Meng Shangshu calmly pointed out the most serious problem.

How come the others don't know this, they just want to use the most stable method to save Emperor Chongming, if they open up with Emperor Chongming, no one can guarantee Emperor Chongming's safety.

After discussing this issue until midnight, the minister left under the moonlight.

At this moment, Jiang Ling had already waited for Xiao Chengyun to fall asleep, Xiao Shengyun finished washing and lay down under the quilt, Jiang Ling found the source of heat, and climbed up with hands and feet.

Xiao Shengyun hugged him into his arms, closed his eyes, and was about to sleep.

Jiang Ling struggled to open her eyes: "Your Highness, have you come back so late and discussed a solution with those adults?"

He was thinking about this matter, and he couldn't let himself fall asleep.

When Xiao Shengyun was discussing various important matters with the ministers, Jiang Ling usually would not follow, he had no interest in these matters, and following along might as well lie on the soft couch and read a script.

I want to know this time because of the purpose of the minister's visit.

——Wang Cheng kidnapped Emperor Chongming.

Jiang Ling wanted to know if this matter would affect Xiao Shengyun.

"Several solutions have been discussed, and which one to use needs to be further determined. It's late, go to sleep, don't worry, it can be solved alone."

Jiang Ling gave a soft "oh", shrank into Xiao Chengyun's arms, and let herself fall into sleep.

The East Palace was peaceful, and the ministers returned home, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

The struggle for the throne has always been cruel, but there are very few people who put themselves into it like Emperor Chongming. Now that he is in the hands of King Cheng, the imperial court dare not easily challenge him, let alone provoke him.

The court maintained a semblance of calm.

King Cheng became more and more anxious. He had already exposed himself in front of Emperor Chongming, and there was not much time left for him. When he ascended to that position, Emperor Chongming would also lose his final role.

"What are you thinking about?" The fifth prince of Beimang raised his eyes to look at the man opposite him, holding up his wine glass.

Cheng Wang irritatedly drank a glass of wine: "Can you guarantee that there will be no accidents in this matter?"

"You have no choice, don't you?" The fifth prince of Beimang put down his wine glass, "This is your only chance, the only chance to distract the prince and restrain the prince. Don't worry, the prince has been poisoned by our Beimang poison." , although he behaves like an ordinary person now, but this king has a way to induce him to be poisoned, and when he is poisoned, everything about him will no longer pose any threat to you."

"The prince is not that easy to deal with. You Beimang's hundreds of thousands of troops can't keep him. Now with these people you brought, can you do it?"

"Whether it can be done or not, you have to give it a try. His Royal Highness, I believe that you don't need to remind me specially. You have come to this point and there is no way out. If you can't act first and solve the prince, what is waiting for you will be What, I believe I don’t need to say it again.” Being questioned by King Cheng, the five princes of Beimang felt dissatisfied.

"Then act according to what you said, the king will send him to the place you said outside the city." After pouring another glass of wine in, Cheng Wang was heartbroken and made a decision.

"Those who do big things must always be more ruthless," the fifth prince of Beimang pointed out, "Since King Cheng has made a decision, he shouldn't waver from side to side. In this way, it will be very difficult to succeed."

The next day, an imperial decree came from the other palace, asking the prince to leave the city on behalf of the emperor to settle some matters.

Several ministers who knew that Emperor Chongming was imprisoned realized that this was probably a trap. They couldn't sit still for the prince's trap, and immediately handed over their waist cards and entered the palace to ask for an audience.

"Your Highness, this is a conspiracy. You may not be safe if you go out of the city." The Duke was worried.

They are still very satisfied with the heir of the prince. Since being named the prince, Xiao Shengyun has done everything very well, and there is nothing to criticize. Open the border of Beimang.

It is extremely lucky for Daqi to have such a prince.

They already knew that Emperor Chongming was held hostage by King Cheng, so it was not difficult to conclude that there was something wrong with the imperial decree. At this time, the prince was asked to leave the city in the opposite direction to the place where the prince's troops were stationed. There is something tricky.

However, the imperial decree has been issued, and the prince now only has the power to supervise the country. If he does not go, it is to resist the decree. I believe that Cheng Wang has already dug a hole. No matter whether the prince goes or not, there are some bad things waiting for him.

"Recently, the state affairs are busy, and His Highness has no time to go out of the city. Why don't you find someone to do it for you?"

"No, no, the imperial decree specifies the name and surname to let the crown prince leave the city. If someone else is chosen, King Cheng will definitely not let it go."

"It's not a big deal that the father has been in the hands of the king. The father is seriously ill. Now we can't contact him, and we don't know how his health is. It's better to solve the matter of the king as soon as possible." Xiao Shengyun spoke quietly.

Why didn't the veteran officials know this? During this period of time, because of Cheng Wang's affairs, they had more contact with the prince than usual. The more contact they had, the more they could feel the prince's ability.

They believe that if the prince ascends the throne, Daqi will usher in a new height.

During their work together, their hearts had unconsciously turned towards the prince.

They won the trust of Emperor Chongming not because they obeyed Emperor Chongming in everything and flattered Emperor Chongming everywhere, but because they were dedicated to Daqi, and they were relatively less interested in making profits for themselves and their family, and they put Daqi as the most important thing in everything. , It was also because of this that Emperor Chongming sent the letter of appeal to them.

At this time, Emperor Chongming could not guarantee that other ministers in the court colluded with Prince Cheng privately from time to time. He had already fallen to such a point that he could not stand any more twists and turns.

"Is Your Highness really going out of the city?" After hearing about this, Jiang Ling stood in front of Xiao Shengyun and looked up at him.

"It's time to settle this matter."

The net that has been laid for such a long time should be collected.

other palace.

"My lord, it's not good, your majesty, your majesty is gone."

"What did you say?!" Cheng Wangben was waiting for the good news in the study, and when he heard the news that Emperor Chongming had disappeared, he had no choice but to step into the small courtyard where Emperor Chongming was confined.

"what happened?"

A palace servant sent by King Cheng to serve Emperor Chongming knelt on the ground: "I sent breakfast this morning, but found no one on the bed..."

"What are you still doing, look for someone!"

The sudden accident made King Cheng feel tyrannical. Half an hour later, the guards found Emperor Chongming in a mess in the corner.

A period of confinement made Emperor Chongming lose a lot of weight, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he looked even older, Cheng Wang glanced at the dog hole by the wall, and the little eunuch subdued by the guards, and sneered: "What is the father doing? "

"Father is already paralyzed on the bed, and still doesn't stop." Cheng Wang strode towards the subdued eunuch, grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up, "Is this eunuch bewitching father?"

King Cheng's hands were strong, and the little eunuch's face turned red from being pinched, and he lost his struggle after a while. King Cheng threw him aside, took the handkerchief from the attendant, and wiped his hands.

"I advise my father not to waste all his efforts and try to escape in vain."

"You imprisoned me, I have already spread the news, the court and the prince will not let you go."

"Oh? Really? Father is well informed, do you know that the prince is out of the city today, and I am afraid that he will never return."

"what have you done?"

Cheng Wang walked up to Emperor Chongming in his spare time, and condescendingly looked down at the person he could only look up to, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.

"Father, why don't you take the initiative to write the imperial edict and suffer less, otherwise, don't blame my son for being rude."
