Rebirth of Tao Yao

Chapter 131: Ancient Infamy

Because the abolished prince did not show any killing intent, the hearts of everyone who had just relaxed were raised again in an instant—since the abolished prince appeared, more than one person had mentioned the old emperor, but the other party kept avoiding it.All the people present were smart people, so they naturally understood what to ask and what not to ask, and they all tacitly did not mention it.

But now, the tacit understanding was broken by King Yan, while the ministers and their families were still under the control of the imperial guards.

Yan Li obviously saw that the ministers around him who had been pretending to be quails twisted their expressions for a moment, and there was a moment of silence in the imperial tent.In the end, the old minister who spoke before stood up again, cupped his hands at the deposed prince, and said, "If Your Highness has no intention of killing the king, please allow me to see His Majesty."

The waste prince glanced at him when he heard the words, and then at the tense King Yan, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes.The expression at that moment was captured by many people, and they felt their hearts sink, but they saw the abolished prince waved his hands indifferently and said: "Father's condition is getting worse, it is not suitable to see outsiders, but if Taifu Yang insists, then go Let's just go to less people, so as not to disturb the rest of the father."

After saying these words, the waste prince seemed to be too lazy to talk to them, and walked away holding on to the hilt of his sword.Judging by his posture and demeanor, it can be said to be extremely frank, as if he himself admitted that the forced palace was a hallucination of everyone fifteen minutes ago.

The deposed prince just left, and then someone actually came to take King Yan and the others to face the saint.

Everyone's tense nerves were completely relaxed, but recalling what happened just now, they all had the illusion that they were dreaming when they looked at each other—the so-called coercion just happened suddenly, and now what happened to such an anticlimactic ending? thing?Could it be that abolishing the prince and forcing the palace was not for the throne, but just to restore the status of the prince to supervise the country?Nobody can be that stupid, right? !

Yan Li also felt that what happened today was weird, and was about to ask his father what he thought, when he saw two imperial guards approaching.The attitude of the two was quite friendly, and they even gave a slight salute to General Yan: "General Yan, Your Highness, please go and meet the Holy Spirit."

As these words fell into her ears, Yan Li's hand hanging by her side suddenly clenched into a fist, and she hurriedly raised her head to look at her father.

General Yan was steady after all, and he didn't show any signs of being worried about him at this moment. He glanced at Yan Li, patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, you just wait here, Dad will be back in a while."

Yan Li pursed her lips tightly, and her brows were tightly frowned in a heroic manner, but she finally nodded in response to her father's persistent gaze.

Yan Qing was quickly taken away. Apart from him, several ministers, general Zhen Guo and other civil and military officials left with the imperial guards.Adding Yan Wang and Yang Taifu together, it can be said that the weight of these few people is already heavier than the rest of these people combined!

With the departure of these people, the hearts of the people who were not allowed to leave in the imperial tent became flustered again, and some even came to make friends with Yan Li.Of course the little general ignored it, seeing that there was no imperial guard guarding the imperial tent, she led Wen Ziran away from the crowd and came to a fairly peaceful corner.Seeing the thick woolen carpet on the floor, he simply sat down cross-legged and let Wen Ziran sit on her.

"It's okay, I'll take you back to the border town." Yan Li assured Wen Ziran while holding Wen Ziran's hand.

Wen Ziran pursed her lips and leaned her head on Yan Li's shoulder, and gave a soft "hmm"—she was actually not that alarmed, because she found that the imperial guards were very polite to the Yan family.At least, as a female family member, she was not taken away as a hostage like the family members of other ministers. Instead, she followed Yan Li to the imperial tent and heard the whole process.

****************************************************************************

Since the abolished prince did something to force the palace, would he be a soft-hearted person?Of course not!

Yan Qing and the others really saw the old emperor, but what they saw was the old emperor lying unconscious on the bed.When King Yan saw this scene, he rushed forward, feeling that his last hope was about to be shattered, so he cried and shook the old emperor's body.

Seeing this, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and they exchanged glances with each other, thinking that His Majesty was murdered by the abolished prince—no matter how upright he acted before the abolished prince, and how high-sounding his words, the purpose was only power—who Knowing that King Yan was shaking, he actually woke up the old emperor with a pale and gray face. When the head servant reminded him, everyone couldn't believe it.

King Yan, who was crying so sadly, was stunned for a moment, and soon he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Father, Father, are you awake?!"

The emperor is the king of a country, and his status and authority are unquestionable, especially the old emperor was not too old to control the power in his hands. On the contrary, he took a lot of power into his hands by abolishing the crown prince. .Regardless of the fact that the King Chu Party and King Yan Party are powerful in the court, it is still the old emperor who can control the situation steadily in the court, and among the important ministers in front of him, the old emperor is the one who is truly loyal.

Therefore, King Yan placed high hopes on the old emperor, and when he woke up, he seemed to have found the backbone.After shouting those few times, before the rest of the people came up to greet him, he cried again in a tearful voice: "Father, brother Chu Wang is dead!"

The stimulus of this sentence is really not clear, the king of Yan also wanted to stimulate the old emperor severely, and then expose the wolfish ambition of the deposed prince to rebel and force the palace.Unexpectedly, this blow seemed to be so irritating, King Yan didn't have time to say anything behind, and saw the old emperor who had just woken up suddenly widened his eyes when he heard the words, those cloudy eyeballs protruded slightly, covered with red threads, It looked a little scary.

"Your Majesty!" The few important officials guarding the bed were startled when they saw this, and they hurried forward, ignoring King Yan.They have already seen that the old emperor's physical condition is really bad at this time, fearing that the other party will be pissed off by King Yan's words, they hurriedly shouted: "Emperor physician, imperial physician..."

King Yan also panicked, and hastily stretched out his hands to comfort the old emperor's chest. It took a long while for the old emperor to seem to be relieved.While his chest was rising and falling violently, he forced two words from his throat, his voice was inexplicably vague: "Nie Zi!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and immediately realized that they were scolding the abolished prince.

King Yan heaved a sigh of relief, he was so frightened that he didn't want to irritate the old emperor anymore, but he was worried that he wouldn't survive today.So while comforting the old emperor, he still opened his mouth, and said: "Father, please calm down, you have to take care of yourself. Now that the big emperor's brother is forcing the palace, it is the time when the wind and rain are turbulent, and the ministers are still waiting for you to show up." Make up your own mind, you can't fall down!"

King Yan said these words in a tactful way, at least not as shocking as the previous sentence. Anyway, the old emperor is not blind, and he must know the current situation.No one knows which of these sentences stimulated him, King Yan watched the old emperor stare again, this time he did not come up, his head tilted and passed out, so frightened that everyone thought he was driving collapsed.

After being startled for a while, there was another voice calling for the imperial doctor, and everyone was inexplicably tired.

Fortunately, the imperial physician came soon, and only said that the old emperor was still ill and was in a hurry, so he passed out.Everyone didn't know how much they could believe, but they had no other choice but to believe them.

Just as several important ministers looked at each other, the deposed prince Shi Shiran finally came out. He stepped forward to tuck the quilt for his unconscious father, then turned his head and sighed to everyone: "Gu said, Father is seriously ill and needs to rest, why do you bother him like this?!"

As he spoke, the deposed prince cast a sidelong glance at King Yan, his eyes were cold and seemed to be filled with condemnation.

The hairs on King Yan's back stood up when he saw him.Over the years, he has always thought that he is smart, but the prince is mediocre and dull, so he dared to challenge the majesty of the prince.The princes in the past really had no deterrence, but until now he really realized that this man's [-]-year-old crown prince was not for nothing, maybe not only he and the king of Chu, but even their father and emperor looked down on him!

No matter how the King of Yan was at war between heaven and man at the moment, and how the hand holding the old emperor's quilt was like grabbing a life-saving straw, the other important officials present didn't know what to say now.

The abolished prince ignored King Yan, but said to everyone: "Father is seriously ill and needs to rest. You have already seen Father, and you know that I have not gone mad enough to kill my father and king. So can I go out now? , I still have some things that I want to share with you.”

The identities and statuses of the few people present are not simple. Several ministers are in charge of the six high-level positions, not to mention, Yan Qing holds the military power in northern Xinjiang, and Yang Taifu is a great Confucianist in the world, and his reputation is unparalleled among the students of the world... None of these people It can be easily killed, since it cannot be killed, then it can only find ways to take it back for its own use, and it is not surprising that the performance of the abolished prince is not surprising.

Several people were well aware of the current situation, and after looking at each other, they did not refuse, and left with the deposed prince.

King Yan felt uneasy when he saw this, and after looking back at the unconscious old emperor, he wanted to leave with these important officials.It's just that this time the deposed prince won't let him go. As soon as he stood up, he blocked two guards in front of him, and the saber at his waist was slightly out of its sheath.

In the current situation, King Yan was no longer the focus, so everyone left without any regrets.Except for the two ministers who had passed the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment of the King of Yan's party, who were a little slower, the rest followed the abolished prince and left the camp quickly.

They followed the deposed prince not long before they came to the "study room" separated from the imperial tent.The latter didn't say anything, and handed everyone a stack of letter papers, signaling them to read it first.

Everyone didn't expect such a development, but after looking at each other, Taifu Yang took it over and looked it over—it would be a lie to say that they were not curious. Could it be that the waste prince thinks that this stack of things is enough to subdue them?

So what would these be?Is the deposed prince able to bribe and promise them benefits?of course not!

In fact, this is a stack of criminal evidence. A stack of evidence that the king of Chu passed through his mother's family to communicate with foreign countries is enough to wash away the sewage that was poured on the deposed prince. It is also enough to prove that the reasons for abolishing the prince are nothing at all.

Taifu Yang's hands trembled after reading it, and his gray beard trembled with anger. He said angrily, "Good kill! The king of Chu deserves to die for treason!" With such evidence, why did you go this far? Even if you finally win the throne, you will be infamy through the ages!"

Speaking of which, Taifu Yang was not the teacher who deposed the prince. His teacher was implicated as early as when the prince was deposed and was dismissed from office.But Taifu Yang is an upright person, and the peaches and plums everywhere can be regarded as the master of the world, so the abolished prince respects him quite a bit.

After hearing Taifu Yang's words, the abolished prince gave a wry smile, and said: "The king wants his ministers to die, and the father wants his sons to die. What does the Taifu think?"

Taifu Yang was stunned for a moment, his upright temper didn't mean he didn't know the dangers, otherwise he wouldn't be able to achieve the position of First Grade Taifu in the court.As soon as he heard this, he understood that King Chu and King Yan were certainly the ones who pulled the deposed crown prince down from the reserve position, but it was not without the old emperor's laissez-faire or even fueling the flames behind it... The old emperor did this intentionally in order to win over the power ah!

When Yan Qing heard this, he was finally taken aback -- no wonder it was said that the prince was mediocre, but the fact that the prince was abolished was decisive. It turned out that this man had already seen through the emperor's fear and cruelty, and kept his edge.

But no matter what, the principles of monarch and minister father and son are often deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if everyone understands the difficulties of abolishing the prince, they don't think that this is the reason for him to raise troops to force the palace, let alone the reason for him to murder his father.

Taifu Yang was silent for a while, and asked: "Your Majesty is like that, but what is Your Highness doing?"

He asked bluntly, just like his upright temper, and the others couldn't help but frown when they heard it - I also knew that this kind of thing cannot be admitted, the waste prince showed them the evidence and said those words, obviously to whitewash himself .Now that he has admitted that he murdered Junfu, what is the use of what he said and did before?

The deposed prince shook his head resolutely when he heard the words. He hooked the corners of his mouth, inexplicably with a bit of sarcasm: "It is true that the father is infected with the cold, and the aggravation of the disease has nothing to do with Gu. As for today's scene, Gu is no more It’s just following the trend.”

No matter how true or false these words are, everyone can hear the deep meaning from them...
