At the end of August, King Xu asked to re-investigate the witchcraft case of the abolition of the prince nine years ago.

The government and the public were in an uproar, and they were worried that the old incident would be brought up again, and the tragedy of the year would be repeated again, and innocent people would be implicated.

After a tug-of-war between all parties in the court, finally on the ninth day of September, the anniversary of the abolished prince's death, the emperor ordered the six gates to thoroughly investigate the case.

After this incident, Xu Wang's reputation for virtue, benevolence and righteousness became more prosperous.

Wang Xiang's party raised the matter of establishing a crown prince again, but Wu's party was unable to contend, and the emperor was noncommittal and rushed to court.

In mid-September, natural and man-made disasters broke out in many places one after another, and the rebel army sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Folk songs are sung, the dragon king is insane, he kills the dragon son by mistake, and the heavens have a bad omen, and the gods and humans are angry.

There are frequent rumors in the market, saying that the witchcraft case was a non-existent thing. The emperor doted on the demon concubine, and feared that the prince would grow up and threaten his position. , to ask the gods for help, so he was falsely accused by the officials of the East Palace of using witchcraft to deceive him.

The true and false words, combined with the fact that in the harem at that time, Concubine Yun was still Meiren Yun, it was true that because the empress was jealous of the emperor and only favored Meiren Yun, Meiren Yun suffered a miscarriage, and the root cause of the disease was that she could not conceive for many years.

The emperor also became angry and disgusted the prince because of this, so that after the witchcraft case happened, Chen Shu repeatedly reprimanded the prince and refused to meet the prince. As a result, the prince had no chance to defend himself, fainted many times in fear, and finally the crime was confirmed. He was ordered to be imprisoned in the Fengzhuang Cemetery, named Shouling, but it was actually under house arrest.

Two years later, the prince went crazy and Chen Shu scolded the emperor for being stupid. The emperor became angry, and his words became harsher.

After the prince received the order, he committed suicide with hatred that night.

But now, the case of abolishing the prince is re-investigated, and there is a blood book in the coffin as direct evidence, which shows that two years ago, the prince's letter was not to denounce the emperor's disobedience, disobedience and insanity, but to pray for the emperor's birthday.Recalling his father's kindness and son's filial piety when he was young, he regretted that he was careless, mediocre and incompetent, unable to take on the responsibility of the prince, and was deceived by villains, and made his father sad.I hope that in my lifetime, I can see my father again, even if I am a commoner, I will be happy and happy.

However, the emperor got the prince Chen Shu, but said such unfeeling words, which made the prince despair and panic, and finally saved the relationship between father and son by dying.

Although everyone in the know knew that seven years ago, the prince Chen Shu received by the old emperor was very different from the deposed prince's blood book, and it was likely that he was dropped by a villain halfway, but the folk rumors did not believe it, and only said that it was the emperor's evasive words.

As a result, natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places were rumored to be the emperor's inhumanity and divine punishment.

It was even said that the old emperor was obsessed with the magic of elixir, and deliberately killed his wife and children in exchange for his own longevity.Otherwise, if he is so old and stupid, why hasn't he established a crown prince for so long?

Rumors abounded that the old emperor should have committed a crime and abdicated as soon as possible.

Although it was a ghostly word that could not be put on the stage, but it reached the old emperor's ears, but it still made him fall ill again.

The sick old emperor couldn't sleep at night and was moody. Even Concubine Yun avoided seeing him. Only the young emperor's grandson Murong Chenxi, who was reprimanded, didn't cry or make trouble, and ran in avoiding the guards. Rebuked by her, she walked over and hugged him.

When he was furious, the majestic and frightening old emperor, when the emperor was angry, even Concubine Yun had to be careful to hold her breath, but the little child who matured two years later than her peers was not afraid.Just as if he was an old child who was hurt and bullied, hugging him with his soft and thin body, and quietly wiped his tears.

The old emperor hugged him and choked up...

Needless to say, it was Xu Wang who created these rumors.

As for how much Zhuge Xiao contributed to it, only he himself knows.

Because of Murong Chenxi, the old emperor Haoxuan was not pissed to death by his son's operation, and he would not be unable to get out of bed if he was sick.It's just that I don't see anyone, and I don't go to court.Only let the Deputy Prime Minister convey his will.

In this way, the struggle between the king and the Wu party in the court became more and more fierce.

When Murong Chenxi was with the old emperor, Yan Wujiu naturally didn't have to enter the palace every day.

Even if he went, he would not see Murong Chenxi.

Xuwang's side is proud of the spring breeze and has a great momentum, just like the aspiration of the people.

Naturally, he was very busy. On the one hand, following the investigation progress of the six doors, he kept releasing some inside information, and continued to stimulate the old father's heart. The insurgents dispersed the military forces in Beijing and deployed their defenses, and began to forge ahead.

When doing this, the person Xu Wang was most wary of was not the Cui family who had killed Cui Quan, nor Concubine Yun who could not even meet the emperor, but the person who deceived and betrayed him repeatedly, but helped him at the critical moment Yan Wujiu.

To be honest, if it was anyone else who lied to him several times, King Xu would have killed him long ago.

However, Yan Wujiu acted too wickedly. Although he lied to Xu Wang, he ended up helping Xu Wang.Even though he had his own thoughts included, this murderous intention had to be slowed down by three points.

What's more, this person is now Murong Chenxi's person, the commander of one of the twelve guards of the Imperial Army, not to mention that he cannot be killed easily, if he is used well, it will be a great help.

Xu Wang's staff were all at loggerheads over this.

Some people think that even if Yan Qingdu cannot be moved now, he should be killed first to sacrifice the flag when an incident occurs.

Some people think that Yan Qing is not guilty of death, and now everyone in the world knows that he and the prince have known each other since they were young, and he has been used by the prince for so many years, presumably the old emperor and the Cui family will not trust him anymore, and killing him will ruin the reputation of the prince , it is better to imprison this person, and it will not be too late to decide after the matter.

Some people think that the prince can use his tricks and use Yan Qingdu to release some deceptive and false news. On the one hand, he can test whether this person is really used by the prince, and on the other hand, he can cover our actions.

Some people think that Yan Qingdu must not be killed. Now there are many vacillating forces, even former opponents, who can fight for my use. Once even the prince of Yan Qingdu is killed, it will make others fearful and shrink back. ?

……

At the end of September, Yan Wujiu, who was allied with Xu Wang, had been doing things for Xu Wang, although they were all innocuous and peripheral things, and there were eyes on him all the time.

On September 29th, when Yan Wujiu met Xu Wang, what was placed in front of Yan Wujiu was a letter of appeal.

Many advisers and generals around King Xu either stared at him, or looked at him meaningfully.

Yan Wujiu's face was calm, and innocently blinked his eyes: "Good literary talent. It's just that Wujiu doesn't understand, there are so many capable people around the prince, shouldn't Wujiu embellish him?"

Xu Wang was graceful and calm, not showing any emotions or anger, and looked at him quietly.

The people around had different expressions, some shook their heads and laughed that this person was really good for nothing.Some people probed him, pretending not to know, and thinking a lot.Some people are afraid, some people laugh, some people lose their minds...

A scribe with a refined face smiled and explained in a gentle voice: "Master Yan misunderstood, the call to action has been completed, but Master Yan needs to sign and stamp the text."

After signing and signing, everyone on the list will be a grasshopper on a vine.

If it succeeds, it is the work of the dragon.If they lose, everyone is a traitor.

Even if Yan Qing has a different heart and does capricious things again, with this thing, he will never want to clean himself up again.

Amidst all the complicated gazes, Yan Wujiu raised a dignified eyebrow, smiled lightly, and a ray of madness flickered in his eyes: "I see, this is the first time I do this kind of thing, I don't know much about the process, it's just a sign, next time everyone You can say it straight."

Everyone: "..."

Who is not rebelling for the first time, does he want to do it again?

Yan Wujiu didn't make any excuses, took the pen and wrote without hesitation in the three flamboyant cursive scripts of Yan Qingdu, which was exactly the same as the handwriting on the folding fan that he flaunted in the market when he was wearing normal clothes.

Then everyone laughed and glanced at King Xu.

Xu Wang's eyes were heavy and dim.

After Yan Wujiu finished writing his name, he still felt that he was not satisfied, so he smiled and said to King Xu, "Wujiu congratulates me with a poem, I wish you success soon."

Everyone couldn't stop it in time, so they saw that the pen was going like a dragon and a snake, and it was written quickly.

This is the first time I saw a joint name under the call to action, with a poem inscribed on it.Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Even though Yan Wujiu has been behaving very well during this period of time, acting completely for Xu Wang, all the temptations have not revealed any clues.

However, once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

For a person like Yan Wujiu, as long as he suffers from him once, he will never forget it and can never trust him again.

What's more, Xu Wang always remembered that Shuanghua's saber against his thigh was as bloodthirsty as the moonlight demon's danger warning.

Could it be that this person is so confident that if he is on Dabao, he won't settle accounts with him?

Are you really confident, or are you making sure you can't sit in that position?

Even though the letter came out, the world knew that Yan Qingdu was the number one chaotic minister under King Xu, but when King Xu finally acted, he still deceived Yan Qingdu to a place.

"Please trouble Lord Yan to go here quickly and deliver the prince's secret order."

When Yan Wujiu went to a certain camp with Xu Wang's seal letter, the commander of the other party looked at it, but waved his hand respectfully and forcefully: "What an offense. Come, please take Lord Yan to rest in the tent, don't let anyone approach you."

It's called protection, but it's actually imprisonment.

Yan Wujiu just raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled arrogantly and indifferently, and obeyed their arrangement.

When autumn comes on September [-]th, when my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed.The incense soars through Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.

Poetry is a good poem, with sharp cuts and boldness, and the poet also successfully rebelled.

However, this is Bianjing, not Chang'an.At the end of September, even the golden armor will fall off due to the west wind.

The restless factor of Yan Wujiu was brought under control.

With the layout for so long, the troops around the Bianjing Imperial City have also been mobilized to quell the chaos, and the defenses are empty.

In the palace, the emperor has been ill for a long time, and Concubine Yun's control over the harem is not monolithic.

Above the court, most of them are from King Xu.

King Xu's reputation among the people is unparalleled.

With such a bright prospect, King Xu didn't need to rebel blatantly, he just needed to calmly control the harem and ask the old emperor to write down the edict of abdication and the edict of guilt.

Of course, it is also very important to have absolute control over troops, so that the old emperor has no one to help.

When he entered the palace, King Xu was not wearing a dragon robe.

Wearing a silver-white prince's plain suit, he walked slowly and calmly into the emperor's bedroom.

There are layers of handles outside the hall, but the elderly and children are the only ones in the hall.

When Xu Wang walked in with his sword in hand, the old emperor's slightly hazy eyes were sharp and majestic.

The thin and small child turned around and hugged the old man, turning his back to the man, as if protecting his grandpa in this way.

The old emperor's intense anger suddenly eased, and he stroked his head: "Chenxi, be good, go behind grandpa."

Xu Wang sneered coldly: "You can still enjoy family happiness and lie to yourself. Unfortunately, a person like you is not worthy of being a father at all. Your wife and children are just kittens and puppies in your eyes. Give you comfort For fun. Once cats and dogs grow up, have their own ideas, and can’t be as obedient and obedient as they were when they were young, you will dislike them without hesitation. Even, for the sake of your new darling, watch them die.”

The old emperor glared with complicated eyes: "When did I fail you when you were disobedient and unfilial? Your mother's death made me sad, but she died of an illness, and you actually hated me because of it. , nor can it make you have the slightest magnanimity."

Xu Wang smiled, his eyes were cold and angry: "I died of illness, what a disease. Do you think I am that idiot Murong Zhao? The concubine mother is obviously poisoned. If you want to make that idiot Murong Zhao the crown prince, you can do it. I don't care about this position? It's a pity that Murong Zhao's trash can't support the wall, you can't just go your own way, and just use my mother and concubine as a prevarication. Then let that lowly maid poison the mother and concubine..."

Anger accumulated for more than 20 years, King Xu breathed heavily, and slashed at the palace lantern next to him with a sword.

The old emperor held Murong Chenxi in his arms, and told him to bury his head in his arms without looking, and stepped back cautiously.

"Presumptuous, you dare to kill the king!"

King Xu's eyes were murderous, and he sneered: "I originally thought that you didn't think of me as a father and son because you favored that idiot Murong Zhao. Now I know, you just don't want a smart guy who can threaten your status. Your heir. The only thing you love the most is yourself, and the chair you cherish the most. Poor Murong Zhao..."

The old emperor's eyes were complicated and shaken: "Nonsense."

King Xu looked down at the child, and smiled again, with unwillingness in his eyes: "A person like you should be alone, no one really loves you, and you are not worthy of anyone's love. Father, you should cut off your children and grandchildren. This child, if he grows up When you grow up, fluke is a man with a clear eye, will you still remember how he defended you today? You won't."

The old emperor's eyes trembled.

He remembered that when he was still the crown prince, he met an assassin one day. Murong Xu, who was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, was already a handsome young man.

When everyone screamed and panicked, he didn't care to help him, and was almost killed by the assassin.

He also really respected and loved his father at that time.

But back then, I didn't care about these things, only seeing the intensified seizure of the heir, and just praised him casually.

Think about it carefully, almost every child used to be very well-behaved. When every child looked at him, their eyes were full of admiration and joy.

After Murong Zhao's death?Or after he ascended the throne?

"Father...not a good father."

This should be the first time the old emperor gave in, he finished speaking in a daze, and looked at Murong Xu.

There was no regret, no remorse, no begging for forgiveness in those cloudy eyes, only numbness.

He admitted it, but that was all.

"I'm just a human being, and all human beings will make mistakes and make mistakes. There are so many fathers who have done wrong things in this world. Are their sons like you, who hold grudges so much and want to kill their fathers?"

King Xu knew what kind of person he was, but when he really saw his expression at the moment, he still found it ridiculous, ridiculous and angry.

"You don't feel any remorse or guilt in your heart. You feel that since you admit it, I should forgive you? You are right. If this is the case, why didn't you let Murong Zhao go? This time I won, if I failed Will you let me go again?"

The old emperor was silent.

King Xu laughed loudly: "You won't. You think the whole world should forgive you, but you won't forgive anyone. You'd rather let everyone in the world do you wrong than let just one do you down. Well. Fickle! But I'm not like you."

The old emperor was not imposing, and he just said in a complicated way: "If it is different, why are you here today? What happened to Zhaoer, is it you..."

Xu Wang pointed at his sword and hung down, sneered, and looked at him coldly: "I will not do anything to my blood relatives. I hate Murong Zhao, but the witch case has nothing to do with me. I just watched coldly. You should ask the people around you about this. And you, I will not kill you. I will tell you to watch, how wrong you are doing."

The old emperor nodded, nodded again, propped his forehead with his fingers, and wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

"It's not that I don't feel guilty, it's not that I don't want to make up for you, it's just that I can't lose more."

The door of the palace opened.

However, the outside is not Xu Wang's people.

Xu Wang lost.

Obviously everything went according to his plan, but in the blink of an eye, everything changed.

Lost inexplicably, a crushing defeat.

The old emperor's voice was deep and low, without any accidents, and without any aftermath, as if everything should be like this: "Prison Xu Wang in the palace, and everything will continue as usual. Don't ask him to treat him harshly, and don't make him like a prince. "

In the empty hall, a dozen masked shadow guards suddenly appeared, saluting silently and respectfully.

Xu Wang was expressionless, let go of the long sword in his hand, looked up to the sky and walked away with a long smile.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

A certain prince conspired to rebel.

All the members of the team: After pressing the paw prints, we are in the same group.Next time you run away again, others will catch you back, are you afraid?

Chirping Cat tentatively pressed a peach blossom on it, found it very interesting, and immediately brushed it into a painting.

Chirping Cat (the meaning is still unfinished): It would be great if Satsuma is here, you can draw plum blossoms~

Prince and attendant: emmmmm...
