History of Yongwu

Chapter 68 Ling Chi

Showa-dono

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Wang Gonggong stumbled into the hall holding the urgent military report.

"What's the matter!" Emperor Xuan reprimanded.

Hu Han has already negotiated peace, and the Huyan tribe has also retreated. Emperor Xuan is discussing the situation in the capital with Wang Qianhe, and the restoration of people's livelihood in Gyeonggi.

"Your Majesty, urgently report to the military, something happened in Anjun"

In Anjun, Wang Qianhe's eyelids twitched, and sure enough, Emperor Xuan took it over and read it, and then slapped the letter on the table heavily.

"Huyan Zhancheng denounced Dayong's failure to make an appointment, intercepted and killed halfway, resulting in the death of Huyan Prince and Huyan Jin"

"Who intercepted it?"

"Zhao Wangjun" Emperor Xuan's face was gloomy, and even if he closed his eyes, he knew that King Jin was behind the scenes.

"Your Majesty" Wang Qianhe was the first to come back to his senses, and immediately said, "The king of Jin must come forward in this matter, and I will go to the mansion of the king of Jin." Prime Minister Wang hurried away and returned soon.

Wang Gonggong was standing outside the hall, only hearing a crackling sound inside the hall and Emperor Xuan's roar, he shrank his neck and stood outside the corridor.

"Sick? He will fall sick!"

"Your Majesty, appease your anger." Wang Qianhe persuaded, "The king of Jin ordered that the northern border army stay in Gyeonggi and the martial law in the capital will not be changed. This is the most serious thing."

Martial law means that everything inside and outside the capital, including the court ministers, must be based on the orders of the Prince Jin's mansion during the war. At that time, let alone dealing with the King Jin, it is impossible to restore the people's livelihood in Gyeonggi.But Emperor Xuan hastily lifted the martial law, and His Royal Highness King Jin brought the Hu people back, so the blame for the renewed war fell on Emperor Xuan.

"What does he want?"

"It's not what King Jin wants, but what King Zhao wants?"

Wang Qianhe raised his eyes, Emperor Xuan's complexion couldn't be worse, King Jin's plan was to provoke an alliance between the imperial court and King Zhao, nothing more than to let His Majesty punish King Zhao severely, but King Zhao is also a tiger and wolf, how could he be punished in vain , and how much benefit must be obtained from the court before giving up. King Jin's plan is really vicious.

"I don't agree!"

"Your Majesty, it won't be long before the generals of the Northern Territory Army will write a petition."

It was the northern army as the main force that defeated the barbarians and won peace. Now that Zhao Wang's army has broken their promise, the northern soldiers will point their finger at Zhao Wang without the guidance of Jin Wang.

Emperor Xuan did not agree, and left bitterly. Not long after, just as Wang Qianhe expected, the hall of Zhaohe was filled with the requisitions of the generals in the north.

The northern border army was exhausted after several months of expedition, and they finally had to go back. As a result, because King Zhao was arbitrarily active, they continued to suffer here. All the soldiers were dissatisfied, and His Royal Highness King Jin fell ill again. So it was noisy in Gyeonggi all day long.

A few days later, Emperor Xuan finally couldn't bear the pressure and ordered King Zhao to be severely punished. Since then, the Beijing camp has never fallen into the hands of the court.

In April of the seventh year of Yonghe, the king of Jin turned the tide and repelled the Hu people, demonstrating the prestige of the country. Emperor Xuan decreed that King Yu of Jin be named a general.The great general assists in the management of the world's soldiers and horses, and fights against the kings for their disobedience.

Under the imperial steps, Qin Yu stood respectfully, took the seal from Emperor Xuan, and held it high above his head. Under the high platform, all the officials bowed together to congratulate King Jin on the seal.

Emperor Xuan looked at those people who bowed their heads and ears, and his heart and fingertips felt cold. He glanced at King Jin and found that he was also looking at him.

When the crisis is resolved, the Son of Heaven will still be the Son of Heaven, and the King of Jin will still be the King of Jin. The struggle seems to be eternal. Qin Yu feels funny in his heart. In fact, no one is extraordinary, but we live by fighting. As long as we step into the , can only keep going until death.

Ting Wei Prison

In the cell to the east, only Du Qing's family was being held. Qin Yu pushed open the cell door and walked in alone. The cell was still dark and damp, with a musty smell. Qin Yu coughed twice and walked in.

Du Qing was locked in the innermost place, even if there was no one else here, as a key criminal, he was locked in the deepest place.Like all the criminals, he was not abused, and he sat on the plank bed with a happy expression.

"Wu Yuanhou, don't come here unharmed." Qin Yu looked at him with his hands behind his back.

Hehe... Du Qing looked at him, and said sarcastically, "My lord, don't come here, too."

The cell was silent, Qin Yu looked at him silently, Du Qing stood in the cell, his cloudy eyes were full of sarcasm, and the corner of his mouth was full of mockery.

Something broke in his heart, gradually filling his entire chest, and his nails sank into the palm of his hand, only then did Qin Yu realize that it was anger, so he was so angry.

He was very calm when he knew the truth, he wanted to use this news to save the capital, and when he sent Du Xuetang away, he was also very calm, not allowing others to see his flaws, even facing Du Xuetang directly, he could deal with it calmly.

Gradually, Qin Yu felt that maybe he didn't like it that much, so he wasn't so angry. He didn't know how much he hated until he saw the complacency in Du Qing's eyes.

Gritting his teeth with hatred, hatred is unforgettable!

Lord Mu Xiaohou is also a lie, but after all the Sixth Highness is just a cover for him, but Du Xuetang is different, he carefully planned step by step, cleverly weaving little by little, until he got himself into it.

From the beginning to the end, he was teased and applauded by Du Qing, dead?It was too simple, Qin Yu looked at Du Qing, no amount of punishment could relieve his hatred, he suddenly gave up asking Du Qing anything.

"Du Qing, I don't want to ask anything anymore." Qin Yu said coldly, "Just wait, life is better than death."

ha ha ha ha ha ha

Du Qing looked at King Jin, his face was stiff, and wrinkles seemed to be engraved on his face, "Your Majesty, the reason you hate him so much is because you have moved your heart."

Qin Yu trembled all over, stopped, turned around and looked at him viciously, like an enraged lion.

Du Qing laughed even more crazily and complacently, "Your Majesty Jin, your hands and eyes are open to the sky, so what? If you fall into the hands of the old man, how does the child compare with Mu Xiaohou?"

Qin Yu felt that something was stuck in his chest, making him unable to speak or move. He clenched his palms tightly, trying to wake himself up with the pain, so as not to be so embarrassed, but his face became more and more bleak, which made Du Qing feel so bleak. more proud.

"The child is very good-looking, isn't it? His Royal Highness Jin Wang, who is so powerful, feels distressed, so distressed..." Du Qing took a step closer, showing a vicious smile, "The prince will not hesitate to risk his reputation, but also to replace the child."

"Du Qing..."

"My lord!" Du Qing stopped in front of him and said, "It's a pity that you are really trampled on, even if you are King Jin"

Taking a few deep breaths, Qin Yu turned around and walked out very slowly, afraid that if he walked too fast, his steps would be messy and he would be even more embarrassed.Du Qing's laughter echoed throughout the cell, he stabilized his figure, still staggering, looking even more pathetic.

Squeak... The cell door was pushed open, and Qin Yu stood in the sun, looking around blankly, until his whole body was warm, and then he drew a sliver of strength again.

"Prince" Wang Meng looked at him cautiously.

"The king wants to see Eucommia." Qin Yu got into the carriage, his expression regained his composure, he glanced at Wang Meng and said, "immediately"

"Yes"

In the back garden of King Jin's Mansion, Qin Yu was sitting in the four-corner pavilion, and after a while, Wang Meng came over Du Qing's housekeeper, Du Zhong.

"Go on, the king wants to have a private conversation with this steward"

Du Zhong knelt on the ground, listening to the sound of Wang Meng's footsteps fading away, trembling violently, staring at the stone slab in front of him, he could feel the cold light of King Jin falling on his head.

"Du Xuetang..." Qin Yu paused and asked, "What kind of person is it?"

"He..." Du Zhong didn't know what to say for a moment, King Jin's cold gaze swept over him, he shuddered, thought for a while and said, "He...Young Master is very forbearing"

"How to bear it?"

"The third son was not born to his wife, nor was he born to a concubine of the Hou's mansion, but to a woman in a brothel. My wife has always disliked the son, and has always been..." He hesitated, and chose to tell the truth "abuse the son"

"Hmm..." Qin Yu's eyes fell into the distance and he didn't make a sound.

"Although the son is often treated harshly in the mansion, he can always persevere. In the second year of Yonghe, the Hou's mansion went to another courtyard to escape the summer heat. The eldest son and the second son threw him into the barren mountains. Everyone thought he would not survive. , who would have thought that the young master ran back by himself, even though he was only breathless, after that... Lord Hou sent him outside Beijing."

"Du Qing appreciates his stubbornness and unyielding." Qin Yu looked at him.

"Yes" Du Zhong nodded, relaxed a little and said, "No one recognizes the status of the young master, so the things arranged by Lord Hou are usually unspeakable. In case of accidents, the young master will take the lead. sent to the prince's side"

"Has he... ever read a book?"

"Madam refused, but later when he was dispatched to Beijing, Master Hou asked someone to teach the young master. The young master is very smart and hardworking, but soon Master Hou stopped letting him get in touch with him anymore."

As long as there are enough chess pieces, why bother, how troublesome it is to jump out of the palm!Qin Yu sneered, leaned slightly, and stared into Du Zhong's eyes.

"What will Du Qing exchange with him so that he can stay by my king's side obediently?"

"Lord Hou promises to let the young master go after the matter is completed"

"Freedom?" Qin Yu sneered, "Did Qing really plan this?"

Du Zhong shook his head and replied, "After the matter is completed, Lord Hou will kill the young master."

"But you three young masters guessed it, so he personally led people in Tianlong Mountain...to assassinate the king, and wanted to use this to escape"

"Yes"

King Jin's voice changed, and Eucommia knelt there, the chill that frightened him returned, and he couldn't help trembling again.

"Du Zhong, I want to ask you one last thing." Qin Yu stood in front of him and looked down at him, "Did Qing force Du Qing to assassinate Tianlong Mountain, or did he decide on his own?"

"Tianlongshan's plan was thought up by Lord Hou, but..." Du Zhong said with a trembling corner of his mouth, "Young master asked for orders and took the lead in intercepting and killing... Lord Wang"

Hehe...Qin Yu smiled and moved his finger lightly, and said to Du Zhong, "This king is very satisfied and decided to reward you"

"Thank you, Lord" before he could raise his head, Du Zhong felt a pain in his chest, and was kicked into the lake by King Jin, and kept thumping "Save...help"

"Wait, this king will find someone to save you right now." Qin Yu straightened his robe and left in a leisurely manner.

His Royal Highness King Jin did indeed find guards, rescued him when he was dying, threw him down, and rescued him again.

In the courtyard, Qin Yu was lying on a chair, looking up at the sky. The black silk-like sky was covered with stars, and it seemed to sway when the breeze blew. It must be a good day tomorrow.

"Prince" Xiao Fuzi walked in and said "the man is dead"

"to die so soon"

"...Yes" Xiao Fuzi swallowed, and replied respectfully.

"Go and tell Wang Meng." Qin Yu rested his arms on his pillow, admiring the weeping willows fluttering in the distance, "Except for Du Qing, everyone in the Du family can be tortured. This king doesn't ask anything, just a little... don't compare with that in the lake." bit easy"

"Yes" Xiao Fuzi worked hard to stabilize his mind so that he could leave smoothly.

The courtyard was quiet, and occasionally there were a few birds chirping, Qin Yu couldn't tell what kind of bird it was, in short, the euphemistic and pleasant sound made people feel desolate.

Du Xuetang is right, he doesn't belong to anyone, he has suffered humiliation, and endured it so far, just to keep himself from being manipulated by anyone, in your eyes, this king is just another difficulty that needs to be endured.

You don't belong to this king, because this king has never known you, maybe this king shouldn't send you away, but should let you be tortured like the Du family, so that you can know how to be afraid, and only then can you relieve the hatred in my heart.

Dongyangmenwai

It was three poles high in the sun, and Qin Yu drove to the newly built high platform. He sat there, looked down, and was very satisfied with the position.

On the execution ground, Du Qing was placed on the execution platform, his limbs were tightly bound, and he could not move a single bit.

"Ready?"

"Yes" Wang Meng replied with an unnatural expression on his face.

"Be careful, don't let me kill the old stuff"

"My lord, don't worry, the person is in charge of Ling Chi, and he will never make mistakes, and there will be no less than three thousand knives."

Hehe... Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction, his eyes fell on the execution platform, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's start."

Du Qing was lying in the distance, Qin Yu felt that he could still see the mockery from the corner of his eyes, until a scream came, he finally felt a little comfortable in his heart, leaned back slightly, Qin Yu stared down with interest, at every turn.

two days later

Du Qing has already taken in more air and less air out, and there is no more screaming. Except for a slight pulse, it is no different from death. There is no one to join in the fun outside Dongyang Gate. Even the passers-by have detoured. On the high platform, staring at Du Qing who could only twitch below, the atmosphere was eerie and strange.

On the tower not far away, Wang Meng and Zhao Zhiping stood side by side. General Wang only stayed on the high platform for half a day, then couldn't take it anymore and ran out to protect King Jin from the tower.

Zhao Zhiping stood beside him, his face was pale, his body trembled slightly, but he still supported the city wall and looked over there.

"Since you can't stand it, why come again?" Wang Meng asked.

"Zhao wants to see when the prince will end." Zhao Zhiping's face was ugly, but his voice was steady.

General Wang couldn't understand what he said, but he didn't ask any further questions. He looked at the front and muttered, "My lord, just kill him. Why bother?"

"To frighten the traitors, to give an explanation to the northern border army." Zhao Zhiping frowned and said, "It's also because of hatred. It's just that the prince hates Du Qing so much, but he doesn't hate Du Xuetang, and let him go."

"Oh, sir, why are you more confused than me?" Wang Meng looked at him and explained, "Of course the prince hates Mr. Du, but he just doesn't want to let go. Du Qing just bears everything on Mr. Du's behalf."

Zhao Zhiping stared blankly over the execution platform and landed on the solitary black figure on the high platform.
