Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang
Chapter 71
The dark clouds in the dark sky seem to be overwhelming, and the white snowflakes fall from the sky like paper money. In this silent winter night, except for the black sky, there is already white snow all over. Silent mourning!
The gate of Prince Beijing's Mansion was open and filled with the smell of blood. The servants who had been dead for a long time were lying on the ground. Mu Yanjun jumped in with great horror, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.He hurried all the way to the courtyard of Princess Beijing, and searched the entire Yangxin Hall, only to see the maidservants lying on the ground in disorder, but she never saw the figure of Princess Beijing.
Tears rolled down his face, and his fists thumped hard on the icy snow.Suddenly heard a sound from inside the room, Mu Yanjun leaped over, and saw three girls kneeling on the ground with tears all over their faces.The one in the lead was Qingzhu who served the princess of Beijing Jing on weekdays, the other two made him gasp, and hurriedly pulled the girl up, it was Shui Ruping, the princess of Roujia County!
She was too frightened tonight, Shui Ruping's face was as pale as snow, she looked at what Mu Yanjun wanted to say with trembling lips, but she couldn't say a word, she could only lean on the female officer and stand up.Qingzhu knelt down in front of Mu Yanjun, weeping uncontrollably: "The concubine, the concubine has already gone, but, King Fengyi still ordered her body to be carried out." It was so dark that he almost fainted.
Mu Yanjun closed his eyes, his chest filled with hatred, he pulled Qingzhu and Nanzhu to stand up, and said coldly: "Now is not the time to cry, we must leave the city immediately, take the soldiers outside the city with us immediately Go and inform Prince Beijing."
The turbulent capital city has long been full of soldiers, and the streets are full of Imperial Forest Army soldiers, as well as the sedan chairs of officials of all sizes in Beijing.Mu Yanjun led the few of them through the quiet alley, and returned along the road they had just entered the city!The galloping horse passed by the street quickly, Mu Yanjun covered Shui Ruping's mouth, the anxiety in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"Hurry up, even if you turn upside down the streets and alleys of the entire capital, you have to find Princess Roujia, you understand?" Soldiers with torches all over the streets patrolled around, searching from house to house.
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we have to leave the city immediately!" After Mu Yanjun finished speaking to the three girls behind him, he hugged Roujia in his arms and walked out of the alley lightly, Qingzhu and Nanzhu followed closely Behind them, tiptoe forward!
"Who?" Mu Yanjun paused and placed Rou Jia beside him, the long sword in his hand had already been drawn, Qing Zhu and Nan Zhu leaned against Mu Yan Jun's side trembling with fright.Looking at the surrounding soldiers, Qingzhu and Nanzhu looked at each other, and they knelt down in front of Muyan Jun. Nanzhu said: "Please, Lord Zhongshun, escort Princess Roujia to Lord Beijing. In the hollow golden lock hanging there is the Holy Majesty's edict." Before Mu Yanjun could answer, soldiers holding torches had already blocked them in the dark alley, and Qingzhu and Nanzhu were trembling all over Muyanjun and Shui Ruping. in front of.
"The last general, Chen Ruiwen, sees Prince Zhongshun." The leading general knelt down, and the soldiers behind him also knelt down. Mu Yanjun looked at each other, and it was indeed Chen Ruiwen, the grandson of Duke Qi, who was protecting Shui Ruping in his arms, and said: "General Chen, please rise!"
Chen Ruiwen waved his hands. The two soldiers behind him had already removed their armor. Chen Ruiwen handed it to Mu Yanjun himself, and said: "I don't believe that the crown prince will poison the Holy One. Although he is dead and there is no proof, I will definitely not." I believe the crown prince will do such a detrimental thing. Su Dinghu, the captain of the Yulin Army, has already rushed to the outside of the city to receive the [-] generals stationed. Please also ask Lord Zhongshun to change his clothes as soon as possible and follow the generals out of the city. Be sure to lead Rou Princess Jia and the five thousand soldiers will go to meet the Prince of Beijing and tell him what happened here!"
After a pause, he continued: "These are my confidantes, Lord Zhongshun can rest assured. Please also tell Prince Jing of Zhongshun that he will find a way to bring the body of the concubine back to a good place in the end."
Mu Yanjun took the glimpse and looked at Chen Ruiwen and said gratefully: "Thank you, General Chen!" Chen Ruiwen waved his hand, and ordered the two soldiers who changed their clothes to leave here quickly, and said: "These two girls can change into armor I went out of the city among the soldiers, and Princess Roujia troubled Prince Zhongshun to take it out."
Mu Yanjun nodded, and said: "Thank you!" After saying that, he looked at Qingzhu and Nanzhu, and said, "When you leave the city, meet me in the bamboo forest outside the city." After saying that, he hugged Shui Ruping In his arms, he leaped onto the beams and disappeared into the night with a few leaps along the beams and ridges!
At dawn, he drove forward until dusk, but there was still no news. His water-soluble brows had never been stretched this day, nor had he ridden a horse to lead the way. The sense of loss and helplessness became more and more intense.
Daiyu knew what was going on in his heart, and let him hold her gently.Holding the same position for a long time, her arms were a little numb, Shui Rong bowed her head and gently kissed the corner of her pursed lips, sat up straight around her, rubbed her arms lightly in her arms, and said with a light smile: "Why?" Don't say a word? It's very sad that the arm is sore and numb."
Daiyu raised her water eyes quietly to look at Shui Rong, her gloomy pupils were like sea waves winding only her figure fell in them, so soft and quiet, she raised her upper body and gently kissed the corner of his cold lips, He called softly: "Rong Ying." No matter what step he takes, she will always be by his side, standing together through thick and thin!
I don't know if he knows what she thinks in her heart, but she feels her waist tightening, and Shui Rong clasps her slender waist tightly against her chest.There is no distance between each other, she can hear his gentle heartbeat and his breathing, that's enough!
This bazaar is a dilapidated town, barely found a place to stay, and could only barely absorb some warmth around the stove, and the north wind through the unpaved windows blew the red candles on the table like beans to the verge of extinguishing!
The tempting aroma of the steaming food made the hungry people move their index fingers, and the guards outside the door had already wolfed down their food.Put the vegetables in the bowls of Daiyu and Haoze Qingwan, and said softly: "Eat slowly!" The shopkeeper brought up the hot three delicacies soup, rubbed his hands together and said, "We have a small shop here. , if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."
Hanying waved his hand to let him back out, Zijuan took the plate and scooped up the spoon and was about to taste the taste, the green bamboo on Daiyu's body exuded colorful light, "Zijuan, wait!" Daiyu shouted, Zijuan raised her head and saw such a strange scene, she stopped immediately, all the disks and spoons in her hands fell to the ground and were smashed to pieces, Daiyu pulled out the silver hairpin from her bun and threw it into the three delicacies soup, the silver hairpin Immediately the whole body turned black!
Shui Rong's expression didn't change, but his eyes turned dark in an instant. He got up and opened the door, and saw that half of the guards outside the door had eaten the three delicacies soup and poured it on the ground. All the food was overturned, and the remaining guards outside had drawn their swords to protect Shui Rong and Daiyu.
Hanying had already flitted out, and when he came back with the wind and snow, he said solemnly: "The shopkeeper and the waiter have all been killed." Daiyu was startled, and the evil spirit had already stepped in, her perennially cold face was rarely seen Anxiously, "My lord, those archers outside the door are meteor archers, please leave my lord and madam as soon as possible!"
The water-soluble heart fell to the bottom, did it fail?When he closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and he walked out with the black iron sword in his hand!
"Master." Qi Mei anxiously called Shui Rong who was walking out.
Shui Rong walked to the door and turned around to look at Daiyu's calm and unwavering face. The understanding and firm eyes made Shui Rong's heart soften. He suddenly turned around and hugged Daiyu tightly in his arms, close to her ear, and said: "Wait for me!" Daiyu nodded, tears fell onto his lapel, but she smiled when she met his eyes, tied the jade belt around his waist again, raised her head and said softly, "Go."
Cries of pain and screams came from outside the door, Hanying and Zijuan tightly guarded Daiyu, and Shui Haoze also firmly blocked his mother and sister with a short knife that cut iron like mud. in front of.Time slipped by the fingertips, and the red candle on the table lingered on the candlestick, spitting out the last light.
Her long black hair was tied with a purple jade crown, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were carved like black jade, her straight nose bridge was handsome and resolute, and her thin lips were as cold as a knife.With such a handsome posture, people can't help holding their breath, but at the same time, they are also afraid of the murderous spirit that burst out.The falling snowflakes fluttered down on the sharp sword blade, and the falling snowflakes and blood fused into water and slid down the blade on the snow, like blooming bright red flowers, coquettish and frightening.
"Kill them, leave none behind!" The cold words came out, and the man in black beside him was already shuttling back and forth in the rain of arrows like a dragon entering the sea. .Scarlet blood flows along the white snow to form a river, like enchanting red maple sprinkled on the white snow, but for a moment, the quiet town has become like a Shura battlefield, so shocking!
The earth-shattering sound of horseshoes came from far to near, Shui Rong stopped the steps that were about to return to the house, drew out the black iron sword in his hand, and looked at the direction of the sound with cold eyes.It was Mu Yanjun, Shui Rong put the long sword back into the scabbard, and stepped over the dead body to meet him.
Mu Yanjun got off his horse and helped Shui Ruping in his arms to stand firmly. When he looked up and saw Shui Rong, he knelt down on the ground immediately, and said: "The crown prince has passed away. Mu Yanjun's improper handling of things is a fault of Brother Beijing." Trust!"
When those shooting star archers arrived, Shui Rong had already guessed, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "You can't blame me for this." So what if they made a good arrangement?The letter should have arrived two days ago, and today is the third day. If Shui Yun had handled everything properly on the day he got the news, today's disaster would not have happened.
"My lord, the concubine is gone, the concubine is gone!" Qingzhu who came out of the crowd cried and knelt on the snow, her eyes were empty and silently shed tears.
"Yesterday at nightfall, I went out of the city to dispatch soldiers, and when I returned to the city, all the nine gates had been closed. By the time I arrived, it was already too late!" Each of them thought it was too late, but they didn't expect to be defeated by Shui Yun in the end. .How many people have been pushed to Huangquan Road by his compassionate heart?
Shui Rong's hand holding the Xuantian Sword trembled, the blood on his face faded immediately, his pale face was filled with grief and pain, and his knees bent suddenly, holding the long sword in his hands, and knelt down in mourning. He called out: "Mother Concubine." The warm liquid dripped on the snow, melting the cold snow a little.
Shui Rong knelt on the ground, and Mu Yanjun and the five thousand soldiers also knelt down on the ground.Daiyu had already received the news and came out to meet her, seeing such a situation, she knelt down beside Shui Rong, her jade-like cheeks were covered with tears!
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the wind blows the snowflakes into a mess, making it difficult to see the road in front of you.When Shui Rong stood up again, all the grief on his face was suppressed, and he looked coldly at the five thousand soldiers in front of him with a ruthless face, and said sharply: "As a soldier of the imperial court, he swore to protect the safety of the country and the country, and now he has lost his conscience." The beasts killed their fathers and brothers, and the gods saw that everyone was able to do so and punished them."
"Follow your lord's order!" Shouting in unison, Shui Rong turned around and gently pulled Daiyu, who was kneeling in the snow, to stand up and lean against her arms, and said calmly: "Soldiers, rest for a while, and we will set off to return to the front line later. The [-] troops of our army will join together and kill these traitors and bastards!"
"Shui Pei, do you want to sit on the dragon chair of the Shui family? That's wishful thinking!" Any member of the Shui family can sit on it, except Shui Pei.The anger and hatred in the eyes burned more and more intensely, blazing like a burning dragon on the white land!
After Shui Shu died, the whole country wore hemp and filial piety, and the red tassels on the helmets of the [-]-strong army were replaced with snow-white ones, and they headed towards the capital like mountains of silver pressing down on the ground!
"The former prince recommended Taoist priests to enter the palace to make alchemy and pharmaceuticals, but in fact he secretly poisoned the emperor's heart. On the ninth day of the winter month in the 40th year of Xuanwu, he colluded with Su Dinghu, the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, to force the palace to usurp the throne. After the emperor learned about it, he became vicious and poisoned the emperor. and Mingde Palace. Yesterday the former crown prince wanted to launch a coup in the palace, but fortunately, Liu Yu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, swore to be loyal to the Holy Majesty so as not to cause a catastrophe. The imperial edict will pass on the throne to King Fengyi." Standing in the court hall, Prime Minister Li announced to the heartbroken ministers of the court that there were endless cries in the court hall!
The courtiers supporting Shui Pei wiped their tears and walked out of the class, looked at the ministers in court, and said: "You can also hear clearly that the prince is so devoid of conscience and human nature, fortunately, the cycle of heaven has its own retribution. As the saying goes' A country cannot be without a king for a day', now that the former emperor has passed the throne to King Fengyi, he should bow down to the new emperor to comfort the former emperor's spirit in heaven!" Then he knelt down first!
Although there are not a few courtiers in the court who support Shui Yun, Shui Yun is dead at this time, and Shui Rong has not yet returned to Beijing.They did witness Shui Shu collapse in Mingde Palace yesterday, all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital said that Shui Shu died from taking poisonous elixir.But the prince also set fire to the East Palace and burned it down. The sky was so red that the fire was so hot that he didn't even give anyone a chance to save him!
Seeing the situation under control, Shui Pei had a gratified smile flashing across his eyes, but his face was full of sadness, and wept: "The former emperor loved the prince the most, but he didn't expect that the Holy Majesty had already made him the prince, so he still did it. With such dissatisfaction, he can't even wait for the day when his father will travel to the immortals. Now, he set fire to the East Palace, but brought the entire East Palace to death in vain, it is really a sin!"
Then Prime Minister Li hurriedly led all the officials to kneel down, saying: "My Majesty's condolences!" All the courtiers below also knelt down and said, "My Majesty's condolences!" Wiping away his tears, he sighed: "Everyone, please, the most important thing now is to enshrine the late emperor, execute the Taoist priests in the harem and Su Dinghu and his daughter to comfort the spirit of Emperor Daxing!"
"Holy Majesty is wise!"
"Before I entered the palace today, I heard that the Beijing Palace was full of families last night, and the body of the Queen and Dowager Beijing was nowhere to be found. Dare I ask the Holy Majesty, how should I explain this to the Prince of Beijing?" Pan Hen walked out of the train , raised his head and looked straight at Shui Pei, but immediately lowered his head.
"What?" Hearing Pan Hen's words in shock, the courtiers looked up at Shui Pei almost in disbelief.The mansion of the majestic prince was completely wiped out, but the body of the concubine was nowhere to be found. How could such absurd things happen at the feet of the emperor.The courtiers who supported Shui Yun had already heard some clues, and they all stepped forward to ask Shui Pei to investigate thoroughly.
Prime Minister Li and Li Shou looked at each other, then turned their gazes to Shui Pei, Shui Pei's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Pan Hen inscrutablely, and sighed sadly: "After dealing with the affairs in the palace yesterday, I heard that Someone took advantage of the chaos in the city to break into the Beijing Palace, and hurried over with the Imperial Army. Who knew it was a step too late, seeing the people in the Beijing Palace being slaughtered, but it was Ye's mother who had been demoted to the common people It was done by women in collusion with people in the world."
"As for Princess Beijing, yesterday I ordered people to put her body away, and I just waited to inform Prince Beijing to return to Beijing for funeral. I admire Princess Beijing Jing as a person, and I also value Prince Beijing's loyalty to the court. Concubine Beijing Wang is named Zhenshun Prince Beijing."
The grievances and resentments between the Ye Mansion and the Beijing Palace, is anyone in the court not aware of it?Shui Pei said so, without the slightest flaw, no matter how doubtful he was, there would be no evidence to prove all of this.After all, the Princess of Beijing and all the people present are no longer alive, so it must be said that there is no proof of death.
"Report, Prince Beijing is heading towards the capital with one hundred thousand troops." As soon as this remark came out, the entire court was in an uproar, and Shui Pei frowned and said, "Isn't Prince Beijing waiting for the imperial court's order in Youyun Prefecture? Will you lead an army of [-] to the capital?"
Li Shou came out and said: "I heard yesterday that the king of Beijing Jing had already destroyed the Xiluo Kingdom in disobedience to the order of the former prince, but there has been no success report. This minister thinks that the king of Beijing Jing has intentions to do something wrong."
"Report, Lord Zhongshun took the military talisman of Lord Beijing last night and transferred five thousand soldiers outside the city to nowhere." One after another incidents came one after another, and the expressions of the courtiers all over the court were different, then Prime Minister Li said angrily: "It must be that the prince of Beijing and the prince of Zhongshun colluded with each other, intending to rebel and rebel with military merits. It is really a waste of the reliance and generosity that the emperor Daxing and the former prince have given them in the past days!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Beijing is by no means an unfaithful person. This matter is very strange. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly before making a decision." Li Shou stepped forward and said sharply: "This matter is already an obvious treason. Is there anything else that needs to be investigated? Do you want to wait until the [-] troops in the hands of the King of Beijing rush into the capital to usurp the throne before making a decision?"
"Take precautions just in case." Shui Pei looked at Li Shou, and ordered: "Return the 20 troops stationed two hundred miles west of the capital back to the capital, in case of emergency!" Looking at the court officials, He sighed: "Prince Beijing may just want to surprise us this time. After all, the victory over the Xiluo Kingdom is a great joy. How could he not report it? Perhaps it is because the city is closed due to heavy snow today, and the victory report is too late."
Such magnanimity surprised everyone, and those who supported the faction shouted long live.There was a sneering smile on the corners of Pan Hen's lips. When he walked out of the hall, he put on a white filial dress and walked with the courtiers, "Isn't what King Fengyi did today a little bit of a cover-up? Anyway, the prince and the prince are now Emperor Daxing is already dead without proof!"
The accompanying courtiers turned around and looked around for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master Pan's words are indeed good, but he has the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing in his hand, so he is the emperor. What's more," he looked around again, Said: "The captain of the Imperial Forest Army in Beijing has been replaced by Liu Yu, who is loyal and filial to him. The forbidden palace and courtiers are already in hand, and there are 20 troops urgently transferred back to Beijing. It is clear at a glance who wins and who loses Master Pan should pay attention to his words and deeds."
Pan Hen snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Since Mr. Yu is afraid of getting involved, then Pan will not say anything to you. I just tell you for nothing, who said that Su Dinghu's daughter is the prince's concubine? Su Dinghu is Must be standing beside His Highness the Crown Prince? Maybe this is a series of tricks, intertwined, just a pawn to separate yourself from the relationship." After speaking, he walked over with a flick of his sleeves!
Two hundred miles away from the capital, Shui Rong threw the news he had just received into Mu Yanjun's hands, and said with a sneer, "His method of combining grace and power is not bad, it's hard for him to hide it for so many years." The filial piety on his body melted into the white snow around him, and his handsome face was as cold as ice. After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "I don't see these tricks of his. Among the remaining sons of Emperor Daxing, there are some Which one is suitable to inherit the throne?"
Mu Yanjun took a strange look at Shui Rong, put away the paper in his hand, and said with a faint smile from the corners of his lips, "The remaining three princes are cowardly and uncontested apart from being young. Seeing that even half of them can't sit on the dragon chair." Shui Rong looked up at Mu Yanjun in surprise, and looked at him with narrowed phoenix eyes.
Mu Yanjun's heart was numb when he saw him, looking sideways at the white snow on the ground, Shui Rong had already sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if it fits or not, just find the biggest one and sit on it." God, he has no opinion.After speaking, he whipped his horse and galloped forward, the filial piety on his body fluttered with the piercing cold wind, and Mu Yanjun followed behind him with a faint smile and followed closely!
The canopy of the bright yellow embroidered dragon stands high on the wall, and the cold wind blows up the filial piety on Shui Pei's body, revealing the bright yellow corners of the robe.Prime Minister Li stood on the top of the city tower, looking down at Shui Rong who was wearing filial piety at the bottom of the city tower, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty heard that Prince Beijing returned in triumph, so he personally greeted him above the city gate." Who is this official tone for?Daiyu got out of the car at some point and walked to Shui Rong's side.
The pure and beautiful face is as cold as snow, the plain white clothes are blown up by the north wind like a thousand layers of snow, and the hair piled up like ink clouds is simply pulled up.The smooth and slippery cloud bun does not have any pearls or hairpins, but it is so stunningly beautiful, like a nine-day fairy relegated to the mortal world, clean and free of any impurities.Those clear eyes, as bright as water, slowly slid across the faces of the people on the city wall, with a faint ironic smile on their cheeks, and slowly stood beside Shui Rong.
Shui Rong leaned over and clasped Daiyu's slender waist, carried her on the horseback and sat in his arms. Shui Pei's eyes from the tower fell on the refined Daiyu, and his dark eyes turned slightly.Mu Yanjun urged the horse to stand side by side with Shui Rong, looked up at Shui Pei and said loudly: "The status of King Fengyi's dragon robe is not right, why? You are not afraid of Emperor Daxing and the crown prince coming Ask for your life?"
Shui Pei's face changed slightly, but then he said coldly: "I am the heir to the throne appointed by Emperor Daxing on his deathbed, what is the intention of Prince Zhongshun to provoke you by saying this?" He sneered and said, "If you are the heir appointed by Emperor Daxing, then the sun in the sky will come out from the west."
Turning his head to look at the courtiers in the city, his dark eyes were like frightened birds flying across the lake, and ripples suddenly rose, and he sneered, "As important ministers in the court, you can't distinguish between loyalty and traitors, and bow down to a man who killed his father and brother." People who are not as good as animals are emperors, please ask yourself, where is your conscience? The heroic souls of Emperor Daxing and the crown prince are still hovering above the imperial city."
The courtier who hides the treachery in his heart can't help but look up at the white snow falling like tearing cotton, it seems that the souls of Shui Shu and Shui Yun are really still hovering here!
"I know that you have served the prince for many years, and your hearts are filled with indignation. Now the facts are in front of your eyes, and all the ministers and workers are also seeing it." After a pause, there were traces of ice and snow in your warm eyes, and said lightly: "You I can understand how you feel, if you abandon your arms and surrender at this time, I will consider pardoning your disrespect."
As if hearing a big joke, the sarcasm on the corners of the water-soluble lips became more and more serious, and he said coldly: "King Feng Yi thinks that if you correct your bad intentions, you can cover up the evil that has been concealed from the sky. Do you want to go on? You should know that 'if you want others to know you have to do nothing', someone will know what you have done, and someone will see it with their own eyes. Do you think that if you kill all the people in the Beijing Palace, no one will come back? Have you come out to testify against your vicious crimes?"
The hands hidden in the sleeves of the bright yellow clothes were clenched tightly, and the murderous look in the brows became more and more enveloping, and he said coldly: "I don't understand the words of King Bei Jing, and there is no need to understand. Since you don't know whether to repent , then I have no choice but to give up and take you down."
The city gate was wide open, and the Imperial Forest Army who came out of the city stopped in front of the water-soluble horses, but no one dared to step forward.Shui Rong looked at the Imperial Forest Army who looked like a clown, and sneered: "The Imperial Forest Army in the past was so upright and majestic. They guarded the court and guarded the safety of the imperial city. Today's Imperial Forest Army is just a beast in human skin, a lackey who does evil for others." That's all!" Waving his sleeves, he held Daiyu in his arms, and the black iron sword in his hand had already been inserted into the chests of the three people approaching!
"Come on, take them down!" Prime Minister Li ordered the guards of the imperial city, Shui Rong flew up to the tower with Daiyu in his arms, and Mu Yanjun followed closely behind, his murderous aura made Shui Pei Involuntarily retreated, those courtiers who supported Shui Pei stepped forward and said: "Emperor Daxing's edict is here, now the Holy One is the king, and the two princes are ministers, how can there be any reason for ministers to intimidate the king?"
"If the king is a false king, how can there be any difference between the king and his ministers? It is nothing more than a beast who is chaotic officials and thieves who confuse the court, kill fathers and brothers and everyone gets it!" Surrounded by layers upon layers of the city wall, everyone took a step back and did not dare to act rashly!
"The 20 troops from Tuo Luo Realm should have arrived in the capital by now. Prince Beijing is still thinking about whether your 20 elite soldiers will rush forward with you and help you fight with their lives against the [-] iron cavalry." Shui Pei His complexion remained unchanged, even Han looked at Shui Rong with a faint smile, but the hostility in his eyes became more and more intense.
Daiyu took out from her sleeve the agreement she searched for in the Xiluo Kingdom that day, handed it to the nearby Pan Hen, and said coldly: "This is the contract made by King Fengyi in collusion with Prince Yun, if you courtiers don't believe it, Just compare the handwriting of King Feng Yi one by one."
"This, this," many copies of the agreement were circulated among the courtiers, and everyone's faces were full of shock and anger, and their hearts suddenly became clear like lightning.How could such traitors become the rulers of the Tianbi Dynasty if they did not hesitate to sell the country's territory and cities for their own selfishness?Pan Hen stepped forward and looked at Shui Pei, whose face had not changed, and said with a sneer: "The ancestors of the Tianbi Dynasty, all the kings of all dynasties, have all lost their faces by King Fengyi. How can such a cunning person be a god?" The monarch of the Bi Dynasty? Perhaps, as Prince Zhongshun said, Emperor Daxing and the Crown Prince were killed by you!"
"Master Pan's words are biased. The purpose of the covenant I made that day was to make the Xiluo Kingdom uneasy and raise troops. The Xiluo Kingdom is located in a remote area in the southwest of my Tianbi. Taking the opportunity to eradicate him completely, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult when he grows stronger in the future."
"Wang Fengyi's ability to turn right and wrong into black and white is really eye-opening today." The sound of palms hitting came, Shui Pei's face was already cold, looking at the Imperial Forest Army on the city wall, said: "I am here today After suffering such a great humiliation, can you still stand safely? Arrest them and wait for my punishment!"
"Wait!" A voice came from the stairs on the upper city wall, everyone looked over, and Shui Pei's face changed drastically.Daiyu stepped forward holding Shui Ruping's hand and walked over, and Qingzhu and Nanzhu followed closely.It turned out that while they were talking, Chen Ruiwen had already ordered people to open the gate of the city, and sent Shui Ruping and Qingzhu Nanzhu up.
Shui Ruping's face was still as pale as snow, but her expression had become much clearer. The ten-year-old girl looked at Shui Pei without hiding her anger, clenched her fists and shouted sadly: "Why did you kill the emperor? Why? ? Not only did you kill the emperor, but you also put all the crimes on my father, mother and concubine. You said that you knew that your sins caused the fire, they were obviously killed by you, and you set the fire in the East Palace Yes, I can see everything clearly under the emperor's dragon bed."
Glittering tears rolled down his face, and his body couldn't help shaking.Thinking of Shuishu's pale face before he died, and Ying Junping's resoluteness and desolation when he asked her to pretend to be a will, she couldn't help crying, choked up and said: "The elixir that Grandpa Huang took was taken by you. It was poisoned in advance, but you want to shirk it on your father."
The ministers were in an uproar, the faces of Prime Minister Li and Li Shou changed drastically, Shui Pei's face was also livid, and his fierce eyes fell on Shui Ruping's face.Unexpectedly, when he was about to succeed with all his deliberations, he would be defeated by a little girl.
The courtiers who supported Shui Yun stood beside Shui Rong one after another, and King Dongping glared at each other and said, "I can't blame King Feng Yi for wanting to ascend the throne so eagerly. The so-called will in your hand should be forged by you and Prime Minister Li colluding." Right? Prime Minister Li has been an official in the court for 30 years, so he is naturally very familiar with Emperor Daxing's handwriting."
"She's just a child, and what she says is what other people have taught her."
"Who taught it? It's the so-called child's words without scruples, and it is because of wuji that they are the most true!" Mu Yanjun looked at Shui Pei's dying struggle with indifferent eyes, and said coldly: "You planned to poison the Emperor Daxing first, and blamed the prince. Do you not want to admit to such a heinous crime that cannot be redeemed by death?"
"I am already the emperor who announced to the world. You say that my edict is false, but what evidence do you have to prove it is false? Now people from all over the world don't know that the new princess of the Tianbi Dynasty is the former Fengyi Wang Shuipei. After clapping their hands, the fifty guards who were close to them took off their armor, and all dressed in black with bows and arrows in their hands, they all pointed at Shui Rong and the courtiers.
"You are the real rebellious officials and thieves, and you deserve to be killed here today." Then he retreated behind the men in black and waved them to shoot arrows.
Before they could shoot their arrows, the faster black shadows leaped onto the city wall, passing by as fast as lightning, and these skilled archers with bows and arrows in their hands had all collapsed in a pool of blood on the ground.
Shui Rong looked at Shui Pei's shocked face lightly, and said: "The so-called sharp archers are nothing more than shooting arrows with a hundred shots. If they don't even have a chance to draw their bows, let alone good archers, they can't even hit the bow." You can't even talk about ordinary killers." The man in black put his long knife on the necks of Shui Pei and Prime Minister Li Shou.
Shui Rong turned around and looked at the courtiers who were still protecting Shui Pei, and said coldly: "What's the use of a loyal and traitorous person? It's better to resign from the official position and go back to the hometown to farm. Maybe it can benefit the neighbors. The salary of the emperor can't Sharing worries for the king, and even aiding the tyrant in abusing the king, speaking evil words is really a crime that cannot be punished!"
Mu Yanjun scratched his head, looked at Shui Peiyu's hopeful face, and said sarcastically, "Prince Feng Yi should accept the hope in his heart. At this time, your so-called 20 army is under the control of Xin Moyu's 30 army. Next, do you think they will be able to catch up?"
Shui Pei's vicious eyes gouged Mu Yanjun's mocking face viciously, and the last hope in his heart was broken. This kind of reluctance to lose made him still unwilling to bow his head, but looked at Shui Rong and Daiyu with cold and poisonous eyes. , sneered and said: "It's not difficult for you to catch me, but if you want to find the corpse of Princess Beijing, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
Shui Rong's pupils tightened, and before he could answer, Chen Ruiwen, who was standing on one side, knelt down and said, "Prince Beijing, don't worry, the body of the concubine has been properly placed in a safe place by my servant." Shui Rong looked sideways Seeing that Chen Ruiwen nodded gratefully, and lightly ordered: "Take off the crowns and robes of these rebellious officials and thieves, bind them to the court, and wait for their punishment."
Mu Yanjun rolled his eyes, looked at the courtiers and said: "A country cannot live without a monarch, but now it is better to go back to the palace and invite all the princes to the Zhengde Hall to support the new monarch." Shui Rong and Daiyu looked sideways Looking at Mu Yanjun, I always feel that Mu Yanjun's behavior in the past two days is quite strange.Mu Yanjun shrugged, walked among the courtiers and slowly descended the tower.
Shuishu has seven sons under his knees, except for the two dead Shuiyun, four sons are still alive.Now that Shui Pei is bound, the eldest of the remaining three princes is only 17 years old, and they are all invited into the court!
The untitled prince suddenly saw so many ministers, as well as Shui Pei and others kneeling in the middle, and some panic flashed in his eyes.Shui Rong beckoned them to come forward, and the eyes of all the courtiers also fell on their faces and considered them, choosing the suitable candidate in their hearts!
"Do you have any candidates for the new monarch?" Mu Yanjun stepped forward with a slight smile and asked the ministers. The monarch is the country's great trust, and for a while, they all stood on the ground and looked at each other indecisively, but no one spoke. After all These princes are still so young, and their mother's family background is low, Shui Shu never deliberately raised them when he was alive!
"My king has the last edict of the late emperor here." These words are like a boulder stirring up thousands of layers of waves, and the minds of those who are bombarded go blank for an instant, because what they have seen today is too exciting, and Qi Qi is puzzled. look away
The gate of Prince Beijing's Mansion was open and filled with the smell of blood. The servants who had been dead for a long time were lying on the ground. Mu Yanjun jumped in with great horror, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.He hurried all the way to the courtyard of Princess Beijing, and searched the entire Yangxin Hall, only to see the maidservants lying on the ground in disorder, but she never saw the figure of Princess Beijing.
Tears rolled down his face, and his fists thumped hard on the icy snow.Suddenly heard a sound from inside the room, Mu Yanjun leaped over, and saw three girls kneeling on the ground with tears all over their faces.The one in the lead was Qingzhu who served the princess of Beijing Jing on weekdays, the other two made him gasp, and hurriedly pulled the girl up, it was Shui Ruping, the princess of Roujia County!
She was too frightened tonight, Shui Ruping's face was as pale as snow, she looked at what Mu Yanjun wanted to say with trembling lips, but she couldn't say a word, she could only lean on the female officer and stand up.Qingzhu knelt down in front of Mu Yanjun, weeping uncontrollably: "The concubine, the concubine has already gone, but, King Fengyi still ordered her body to be carried out." It was so dark that he almost fainted.
Mu Yanjun closed his eyes, his chest filled with hatred, he pulled Qingzhu and Nanzhu to stand up, and said coldly: "Now is not the time to cry, we must leave the city immediately, take the soldiers outside the city with us immediately Go and inform Prince Beijing."
The turbulent capital city has long been full of soldiers, and the streets are full of Imperial Forest Army soldiers, as well as the sedan chairs of officials of all sizes in Beijing.Mu Yanjun led the few of them through the quiet alley, and returned along the road they had just entered the city!The galloping horse passed by the street quickly, Mu Yanjun covered Shui Ruping's mouth, the anxiety in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"Hurry up, even if you turn upside down the streets and alleys of the entire capital, you have to find Princess Roujia, you understand?" Soldiers with torches all over the streets patrolled around, searching from house to house.
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we have to leave the city immediately!" After Mu Yanjun finished speaking to the three girls behind him, he hugged Roujia in his arms and walked out of the alley lightly, Qingzhu and Nanzhu followed closely Behind them, tiptoe forward!
"Who?" Mu Yanjun paused and placed Rou Jia beside him, the long sword in his hand had already been drawn, Qing Zhu and Nan Zhu leaned against Mu Yan Jun's side trembling with fright.Looking at the surrounding soldiers, Qingzhu and Nanzhu looked at each other, and they knelt down in front of Muyan Jun. Nanzhu said: "Please, Lord Zhongshun, escort Princess Roujia to Lord Beijing. In the hollow golden lock hanging there is the Holy Majesty's edict." Before Mu Yanjun could answer, soldiers holding torches had already blocked them in the dark alley, and Qingzhu and Nanzhu were trembling all over Muyanjun and Shui Ruping. in front of.
"The last general, Chen Ruiwen, sees Prince Zhongshun." The leading general knelt down, and the soldiers behind him also knelt down. Mu Yanjun looked at each other, and it was indeed Chen Ruiwen, the grandson of Duke Qi, who was protecting Shui Ruping in his arms, and said: "General Chen, please rise!"
Chen Ruiwen waved his hands. The two soldiers behind him had already removed their armor. Chen Ruiwen handed it to Mu Yanjun himself, and said: "I don't believe that the crown prince will poison the Holy One. Although he is dead and there is no proof, I will definitely not." I believe the crown prince will do such a detrimental thing. Su Dinghu, the captain of the Yulin Army, has already rushed to the outside of the city to receive the [-] generals stationed. Please also ask Lord Zhongshun to change his clothes as soon as possible and follow the generals out of the city. Be sure to lead Rou Princess Jia and the five thousand soldiers will go to meet the Prince of Beijing and tell him what happened here!"
After a pause, he continued: "These are my confidantes, Lord Zhongshun can rest assured. Please also tell Prince Jing of Zhongshun that he will find a way to bring the body of the concubine back to a good place in the end."
Mu Yanjun took the glimpse and looked at Chen Ruiwen and said gratefully: "Thank you, General Chen!" Chen Ruiwen waved his hand, and ordered the two soldiers who changed their clothes to leave here quickly, and said: "These two girls can change into armor I went out of the city among the soldiers, and Princess Roujia troubled Prince Zhongshun to take it out."
Mu Yanjun nodded, and said: "Thank you!" After saying that, he looked at Qingzhu and Nanzhu, and said, "When you leave the city, meet me in the bamboo forest outside the city." After saying that, he hugged Shui Ruping In his arms, he leaped onto the beams and disappeared into the night with a few leaps along the beams and ridges!
At dawn, he drove forward until dusk, but there was still no news. His water-soluble brows had never been stretched this day, nor had he ridden a horse to lead the way. The sense of loss and helplessness became more and more intense.
Daiyu knew what was going on in his heart, and let him hold her gently.Holding the same position for a long time, her arms were a little numb, Shui Rong bowed her head and gently kissed the corner of her pursed lips, sat up straight around her, rubbed her arms lightly in her arms, and said with a light smile: "Why?" Don't say a word? It's very sad that the arm is sore and numb."
Daiyu raised her water eyes quietly to look at Shui Rong, her gloomy pupils were like sea waves winding only her figure fell in them, so soft and quiet, she raised her upper body and gently kissed the corner of his cold lips, He called softly: "Rong Ying." No matter what step he takes, she will always be by his side, standing together through thick and thin!
I don't know if he knows what she thinks in her heart, but she feels her waist tightening, and Shui Rong clasps her slender waist tightly against her chest.There is no distance between each other, she can hear his gentle heartbeat and his breathing, that's enough!
This bazaar is a dilapidated town, barely found a place to stay, and could only barely absorb some warmth around the stove, and the north wind through the unpaved windows blew the red candles on the table like beans to the verge of extinguishing!
The tempting aroma of the steaming food made the hungry people move their index fingers, and the guards outside the door had already wolfed down their food.Put the vegetables in the bowls of Daiyu and Haoze Qingwan, and said softly: "Eat slowly!" The shopkeeper brought up the hot three delicacies soup, rubbed his hands together and said, "We have a small shop here. , if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."
Hanying waved his hand to let him back out, Zijuan took the plate and scooped up the spoon and was about to taste the taste, the green bamboo on Daiyu's body exuded colorful light, "Zijuan, wait!" Daiyu shouted, Zijuan raised her head and saw such a strange scene, she stopped immediately, all the disks and spoons in her hands fell to the ground and were smashed to pieces, Daiyu pulled out the silver hairpin from her bun and threw it into the three delicacies soup, the silver hairpin Immediately the whole body turned black!
Shui Rong's expression didn't change, but his eyes turned dark in an instant. He got up and opened the door, and saw that half of the guards outside the door had eaten the three delicacies soup and poured it on the ground. All the food was overturned, and the remaining guards outside had drawn their swords to protect Shui Rong and Daiyu.
Hanying had already flitted out, and when he came back with the wind and snow, he said solemnly: "The shopkeeper and the waiter have all been killed." Daiyu was startled, and the evil spirit had already stepped in, her perennially cold face was rarely seen Anxiously, "My lord, those archers outside the door are meteor archers, please leave my lord and madam as soon as possible!"
The water-soluble heart fell to the bottom, did it fail?When he closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and he walked out with the black iron sword in his hand!
"Master." Qi Mei anxiously called Shui Rong who was walking out.
Shui Rong walked to the door and turned around to look at Daiyu's calm and unwavering face. The understanding and firm eyes made Shui Rong's heart soften. He suddenly turned around and hugged Daiyu tightly in his arms, close to her ear, and said: "Wait for me!" Daiyu nodded, tears fell onto his lapel, but she smiled when she met his eyes, tied the jade belt around his waist again, raised her head and said softly, "Go."
Cries of pain and screams came from outside the door, Hanying and Zijuan tightly guarded Daiyu, and Shui Haoze also firmly blocked his mother and sister with a short knife that cut iron like mud. in front of.Time slipped by the fingertips, and the red candle on the table lingered on the candlestick, spitting out the last light.
Her long black hair was tied with a purple jade crown, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were carved like black jade, her straight nose bridge was handsome and resolute, and her thin lips were as cold as a knife.With such a handsome posture, people can't help holding their breath, but at the same time, they are also afraid of the murderous spirit that burst out.The falling snowflakes fluttered down on the sharp sword blade, and the falling snowflakes and blood fused into water and slid down the blade on the snow, like blooming bright red flowers, coquettish and frightening.
"Kill them, leave none behind!" The cold words came out, and the man in black beside him was already shuttling back and forth in the rain of arrows like a dragon entering the sea. .Scarlet blood flows along the white snow to form a river, like enchanting red maple sprinkled on the white snow, but for a moment, the quiet town has become like a Shura battlefield, so shocking!
The earth-shattering sound of horseshoes came from far to near, Shui Rong stopped the steps that were about to return to the house, drew out the black iron sword in his hand, and looked at the direction of the sound with cold eyes.It was Mu Yanjun, Shui Rong put the long sword back into the scabbard, and stepped over the dead body to meet him.
Mu Yanjun got off his horse and helped Shui Ruping in his arms to stand firmly. When he looked up and saw Shui Rong, he knelt down on the ground immediately, and said: "The crown prince has passed away. Mu Yanjun's improper handling of things is a fault of Brother Beijing." Trust!"
When those shooting star archers arrived, Shui Rong had already guessed, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "You can't blame me for this." So what if they made a good arrangement?The letter should have arrived two days ago, and today is the third day. If Shui Yun had handled everything properly on the day he got the news, today's disaster would not have happened.
"My lord, the concubine is gone, the concubine is gone!" Qingzhu who came out of the crowd cried and knelt on the snow, her eyes were empty and silently shed tears.
"Yesterday at nightfall, I went out of the city to dispatch soldiers, and when I returned to the city, all the nine gates had been closed. By the time I arrived, it was already too late!" Each of them thought it was too late, but they didn't expect to be defeated by Shui Yun in the end. .How many people have been pushed to Huangquan Road by his compassionate heart?
Shui Rong's hand holding the Xuantian Sword trembled, the blood on his face faded immediately, his pale face was filled with grief and pain, and his knees bent suddenly, holding the long sword in his hands, and knelt down in mourning. He called out: "Mother Concubine." The warm liquid dripped on the snow, melting the cold snow a little.
Shui Rong knelt on the ground, and Mu Yanjun and the five thousand soldiers also knelt down on the ground.Daiyu had already received the news and came out to meet her, seeing such a situation, she knelt down beside Shui Rong, her jade-like cheeks were covered with tears!
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the wind blows the snowflakes into a mess, making it difficult to see the road in front of you.When Shui Rong stood up again, all the grief on his face was suppressed, and he looked coldly at the five thousand soldiers in front of him with a ruthless face, and said sharply: "As a soldier of the imperial court, he swore to protect the safety of the country and the country, and now he has lost his conscience." The beasts killed their fathers and brothers, and the gods saw that everyone was able to do so and punished them."
"Follow your lord's order!" Shouting in unison, Shui Rong turned around and gently pulled Daiyu, who was kneeling in the snow, to stand up and lean against her arms, and said calmly: "Soldiers, rest for a while, and we will set off to return to the front line later. The [-] troops of our army will join together and kill these traitors and bastards!"
"Shui Pei, do you want to sit on the dragon chair of the Shui family? That's wishful thinking!" Any member of the Shui family can sit on it, except Shui Pei.The anger and hatred in the eyes burned more and more intensely, blazing like a burning dragon on the white land!
After Shui Shu died, the whole country wore hemp and filial piety, and the red tassels on the helmets of the [-]-strong army were replaced with snow-white ones, and they headed towards the capital like mountains of silver pressing down on the ground!
"The former prince recommended Taoist priests to enter the palace to make alchemy and pharmaceuticals, but in fact he secretly poisoned the emperor's heart. On the ninth day of the winter month in the 40th year of Xuanwu, he colluded with Su Dinghu, the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, to force the palace to usurp the throne. After the emperor learned about it, he became vicious and poisoned the emperor. and Mingde Palace. Yesterday the former crown prince wanted to launch a coup in the palace, but fortunately, Liu Yu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, swore to be loyal to the Holy Majesty so as not to cause a catastrophe. The imperial edict will pass on the throne to King Fengyi." Standing in the court hall, Prime Minister Li announced to the heartbroken ministers of the court that there were endless cries in the court hall!
The courtiers supporting Shui Pei wiped their tears and walked out of the class, looked at the ministers in court, and said: "You can also hear clearly that the prince is so devoid of conscience and human nature, fortunately, the cycle of heaven has its own retribution. As the saying goes' A country cannot be without a king for a day', now that the former emperor has passed the throne to King Fengyi, he should bow down to the new emperor to comfort the former emperor's spirit in heaven!" Then he knelt down first!
Although there are not a few courtiers in the court who support Shui Yun, Shui Yun is dead at this time, and Shui Rong has not yet returned to Beijing.They did witness Shui Shu collapse in Mingde Palace yesterday, all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital said that Shui Shu died from taking poisonous elixir.But the prince also set fire to the East Palace and burned it down. The sky was so red that the fire was so hot that he didn't even give anyone a chance to save him!
Seeing the situation under control, Shui Pei had a gratified smile flashing across his eyes, but his face was full of sadness, and wept: "The former emperor loved the prince the most, but he didn't expect that the Holy Majesty had already made him the prince, so he still did it. With such dissatisfaction, he can't even wait for the day when his father will travel to the immortals. Now, he set fire to the East Palace, but brought the entire East Palace to death in vain, it is really a sin!"
Then Prime Minister Li hurriedly led all the officials to kneel down, saying: "My Majesty's condolences!" All the courtiers below also knelt down and said, "My Majesty's condolences!" Wiping away his tears, he sighed: "Everyone, please, the most important thing now is to enshrine the late emperor, execute the Taoist priests in the harem and Su Dinghu and his daughter to comfort the spirit of Emperor Daxing!"
"Holy Majesty is wise!"
"Before I entered the palace today, I heard that the Beijing Palace was full of families last night, and the body of the Queen and Dowager Beijing was nowhere to be found. Dare I ask the Holy Majesty, how should I explain this to the Prince of Beijing?" Pan Hen walked out of the train , raised his head and looked straight at Shui Pei, but immediately lowered his head.
"What?" Hearing Pan Hen's words in shock, the courtiers looked up at Shui Pei almost in disbelief.The mansion of the majestic prince was completely wiped out, but the body of the concubine was nowhere to be found. How could such absurd things happen at the feet of the emperor.The courtiers who supported Shui Yun had already heard some clues, and they all stepped forward to ask Shui Pei to investigate thoroughly.
Prime Minister Li and Li Shou looked at each other, then turned their gazes to Shui Pei, Shui Pei's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Pan Hen inscrutablely, and sighed sadly: "After dealing with the affairs in the palace yesterday, I heard that Someone took advantage of the chaos in the city to break into the Beijing Palace, and hurried over with the Imperial Army. Who knew it was a step too late, seeing the people in the Beijing Palace being slaughtered, but it was Ye's mother who had been demoted to the common people It was done by women in collusion with people in the world."
"As for Princess Beijing, yesterday I ordered people to put her body away, and I just waited to inform Prince Beijing to return to Beijing for funeral. I admire Princess Beijing Jing as a person, and I also value Prince Beijing's loyalty to the court. Concubine Beijing Wang is named Zhenshun Prince Beijing."
The grievances and resentments between the Ye Mansion and the Beijing Palace, is anyone in the court not aware of it?Shui Pei said so, without the slightest flaw, no matter how doubtful he was, there would be no evidence to prove all of this.After all, the Princess of Beijing and all the people present are no longer alive, so it must be said that there is no proof of death.
"Report, Prince Beijing is heading towards the capital with one hundred thousand troops." As soon as this remark came out, the entire court was in an uproar, and Shui Pei frowned and said, "Isn't Prince Beijing waiting for the imperial court's order in Youyun Prefecture? Will you lead an army of [-] to the capital?"
Li Shou came out and said: "I heard yesterday that the king of Beijing Jing had already destroyed the Xiluo Kingdom in disobedience to the order of the former prince, but there has been no success report. This minister thinks that the king of Beijing Jing has intentions to do something wrong."
"Report, Lord Zhongshun took the military talisman of Lord Beijing last night and transferred five thousand soldiers outside the city to nowhere." One after another incidents came one after another, and the expressions of the courtiers all over the court were different, then Prime Minister Li said angrily: "It must be that the prince of Beijing and the prince of Zhongshun colluded with each other, intending to rebel and rebel with military merits. It is really a waste of the reliance and generosity that the emperor Daxing and the former prince have given them in the past days!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Beijing is by no means an unfaithful person. This matter is very strange. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly before making a decision." Li Shou stepped forward and said sharply: "This matter is already an obvious treason. Is there anything else that needs to be investigated? Do you want to wait until the [-] troops in the hands of the King of Beijing rush into the capital to usurp the throne before making a decision?"
"Take precautions just in case." Shui Pei looked at Li Shou, and ordered: "Return the 20 troops stationed two hundred miles west of the capital back to the capital, in case of emergency!" Looking at the court officials, He sighed: "Prince Beijing may just want to surprise us this time. After all, the victory over the Xiluo Kingdom is a great joy. How could he not report it? Perhaps it is because the city is closed due to heavy snow today, and the victory report is too late."
Such magnanimity surprised everyone, and those who supported the faction shouted long live.There was a sneering smile on the corners of Pan Hen's lips. When he walked out of the hall, he put on a white filial dress and walked with the courtiers, "Isn't what King Fengyi did today a little bit of a cover-up? Anyway, the prince and the prince are now Emperor Daxing is already dead without proof!"
The accompanying courtiers turned around and looked around for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master Pan's words are indeed good, but he has the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing in his hand, so he is the emperor. What's more," he looked around again, Said: "The captain of the Imperial Forest Army in Beijing has been replaced by Liu Yu, who is loyal and filial to him. The forbidden palace and courtiers are already in hand, and there are 20 troops urgently transferred back to Beijing. It is clear at a glance who wins and who loses Master Pan should pay attention to his words and deeds."
Pan Hen snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Since Mr. Yu is afraid of getting involved, then Pan will not say anything to you. I just tell you for nothing, who said that Su Dinghu's daughter is the prince's concubine? Su Dinghu is Must be standing beside His Highness the Crown Prince? Maybe this is a series of tricks, intertwined, just a pawn to separate yourself from the relationship." After speaking, he walked over with a flick of his sleeves!
Two hundred miles away from the capital, Shui Rong threw the news he had just received into Mu Yanjun's hands, and said with a sneer, "His method of combining grace and power is not bad, it's hard for him to hide it for so many years." The filial piety on his body melted into the white snow around him, and his handsome face was as cold as ice. After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "I don't see these tricks of his. Among the remaining sons of Emperor Daxing, there are some Which one is suitable to inherit the throne?"
Mu Yanjun took a strange look at Shui Rong, put away the paper in his hand, and said with a faint smile from the corners of his lips, "The remaining three princes are cowardly and uncontested apart from being young. Seeing that even half of them can't sit on the dragon chair." Shui Rong looked up at Mu Yanjun in surprise, and looked at him with narrowed phoenix eyes.
Mu Yanjun's heart was numb when he saw him, looking sideways at the white snow on the ground, Shui Rong had already sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if it fits or not, just find the biggest one and sit on it." God, he has no opinion.After speaking, he whipped his horse and galloped forward, the filial piety on his body fluttered with the piercing cold wind, and Mu Yanjun followed behind him with a faint smile and followed closely!
The canopy of the bright yellow embroidered dragon stands high on the wall, and the cold wind blows up the filial piety on Shui Pei's body, revealing the bright yellow corners of the robe.Prime Minister Li stood on the top of the city tower, looking down at Shui Rong who was wearing filial piety at the bottom of the city tower, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty heard that Prince Beijing returned in triumph, so he personally greeted him above the city gate." Who is this official tone for?Daiyu got out of the car at some point and walked to Shui Rong's side.
The pure and beautiful face is as cold as snow, the plain white clothes are blown up by the north wind like a thousand layers of snow, and the hair piled up like ink clouds is simply pulled up.The smooth and slippery cloud bun does not have any pearls or hairpins, but it is so stunningly beautiful, like a nine-day fairy relegated to the mortal world, clean and free of any impurities.Those clear eyes, as bright as water, slowly slid across the faces of the people on the city wall, with a faint ironic smile on their cheeks, and slowly stood beside Shui Rong.
Shui Rong leaned over and clasped Daiyu's slender waist, carried her on the horseback and sat in his arms. Shui Pei's eyes from the tower fell on the refined Daiyu, and his dark eyes turned slightly.Mu Yanjun urged the horse to stand side by side with Shui Rong, looked up at Shui Pei and said loudly: "The status of King Fengyi's dragon robe is not right, why? You are not afraid of Emperor Daxing and the crown prince coming Ask for your life?"
Shui Pei's face changed slightly, but then he said coldly: "I am the heir to the throne appointed by Emperor Daxing on his deathbed, what is the intention of Prince Zhongshun to provoke you by saying this?" He sneered and said, "If you are the heir appointed by Emperor Daxing, then the sun in the sky will come out from the west."
Turning his head to look at the courtiers in the city, his dark eyes were like frightened birds flying across the lake, and ripples suddenly rose, and he sneered, "As important ministers in the court, you can't distinguish between loyalty and traitors, and bow down to a man who killed his father and brother." People who are not as good as animals are emperors, please ask yourself, where is your conscience? The heroic souls of Emperor Daxing and the crown prince are still hovering above the imperial city."
The courtier who hides the treachery in his heart can't help but look up at the white snow falling like tearing cotton, it seems that the souls of Shui Shu and Shui Yun are really still hovering here!
"I know that you have served the prince for many years, and your hearts are filled with indignation. Now the facts are in front of your eyes, and all the ministers and workers are also seeing it." After a pause, there were traces of ice and snow in your warm eyes, and said lightly: "You I can understand how you feel, if you abandon your arms and surrender at this time, I will consider pardoning your disrespect."
As if hearing a big joke, the sarcasm on the corners of the water-soluble lips became more and more serious, and he said coldly: "King Feng Yi thinks that if you correct your bad intentions, you can cover up the evil that has been concealed from the sky. Do you want to go on? You should know that 'if you want others to know you have to do nothing', someone will know what you have done, and someone will see it with their own eyes. Do you think that if you kill all the people in the Beijing Palace, no one will come back? Have you come out to testify against your vicious crimes?"
The hands hidden in the sleeves of the bright yellow clothes were clenched tightly, and the murderous look in the brows became more and more enveloping, and he said coldly: "I don't understand the words of King Bei Jing, and there is no need to understand. Since you don't know whether to repent , then I have no choice but to give up and take you down."
The city gate was wide open, and the Imperial Forest Army who came out of the city stopped in front of the water-soluble horses, but no one dared to step forward.Shui Rong looked at the Imperial Forest Army who looked like a clown, and sneered: "The Imperial Forest Army in the past was so upright and majestic. They guarded the court and guarded the safety of the imperial city. Today's Imperial Forest Army is just a beast in human skin, a lackey who does evil for others." That's all!" Waving his sleeves, he held Daiyu in his arms, and the black iron sword in his hand had already been inserted into the chests of the three people approaching!
"Come on, take them down!" Prime Minister Li ordered the guards of the imperial city, Shui Rong flew up to the tower with Daiyu in his arms, and Mu Yanjun followed closely behind, his murderous aura made Shui Pei Involuntarily retreated, those courtiers who supported Shui Pei stepped forward and said: "Emperor Daxing's edict is here, now the Holy One is the king, and the two princes are ministers, how can there be any reason for ministers to intimidate the king?"
"If the king is a false king, how can there be any difference between the king and his ministers? It is nothing more than a beast who is chaotic officials and thieves who confuse the court, kill fathers and brothers and everyone gets it!" Surrounded by layers upon layers of the city wall, everyone took a step back and did not dare to act rashly!
"The 20 troops from Tuo Luo Realm should have arrived in the capital by now. Prince Beijing is still thinking about whether your 20 elite soldiers will rush forward with you and help you fight with their lives against the [-] iron cavalry." Shui Pei His complexion remained unchanged, even Han looked at Shui Rong with a faint smile, but the hostility in his eyes became more and more intense.
Daiyu took out from her sleeve the agreement she searched for in the Xiluo Kingdom that day, handed it to the nearby Pan Hen, and said coldly: "This is the contract made by King Fengyi in collusion with Prince Yun, if you courtiers don't believe it, Just compare the handwriting of King Feng Yi one by one."
"This, this," many copies of the agreement were circulated among the courtiers, and everyone's faces were full of shock and anger, and their hearts suddenly became clear like lightning.How could such traitors become the rulers of the Tianbi Dynasty if they did not hesitate to sell the country's territory and cities for their own selfishness?Pan Hen stepped forward and looked at Shui Pei, whose face had not changed, and said with a sneer: "The ancestors of the Tianbi Dynasty, all the kings of all dynasties, have all lost their faces by King Fengyi. How can such a cunning person be a god?" The monarch of the Bi Dynasty? Perhaps, as Prince Zhongshun said, Emperor Daxing and the Crown Prince were killed by you!"
"Master Pan's words are biased. The purpose of the covenant I made that day was to make the Xiluo Kingdom uneasy and raise troops. The Xiluo Kingdom is located in a remote area in the southwest of my Tianbi. Taking the opportunity to eradicate him completely, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult when he grows stronger in the future."
"Wang Fengyi's ability to turn right and wrong into black and white is really eye-opening today." The sound of palms hitting came, Shui Pei's face was already cold, looking at the Imperial Forest Army on the city wall, said: "I am here today After suffering such a great humiliation, can you still stand safely? Arrest them and wait for my punishment!"
"Wait!" A voice came from the stairs on the upper city wall, everyone looked over, and Shui Pei's face changed drastically.Daiyu stepped forward holding Shui Ruping's hand and walked over, and Qingzhu and Nanzhu followed closely.It turned out that while they were talking, Chen Ruiwen had already ordered people to open the gate of the city, and sent Shui Ruping and Qingzhu Nanzhu up.
Shui Ruping's face was still as pale as snow, but her expression had become much clearer. The ten-year-old girl looked at Shui Pei without hiding her anger, clenched her fists and shouted sadly: "Why did you kill the emperor? Why? ? Not only did you kill the emperor, but you also put all the crimes on my father, mother and concubine. You said that you knew that your sins caused the fire, they were obviously killed by you, and you set the fire in the East Palace Yes, I can see everything clearly under the emperor's dragon bed."
Glittering tears rolled down his face, and his body couldn't help shaking.Thinking of Shuishu's pale face before he died, and Ying Junping's resoluteness and desolation when he asked her to pretend to be a will, she couldn't help crying, choked up and said: "The elixir that Grandpa Huang took was taken by you. It was poisoned in advance, but you want to shirk it on your father."
The ministers were in an uproar, the faces of Prime Minister Li and Li Shou changed drastically, Shui Pei's face was also livid, and his fierce eyes fell on Shui Ruping's face.Unexpectedly, when he was about to succeed with all his deliberations, he would be defeated by a little girl.
The courtiers who supported Shui Yun stood beside Shui Rong one after another, and King Dongping glared at each other and said, "I can't blame King Feng Yi for wanting to ascend the throne so eagerly. The so-called will in your hand should be forged by you and Prime Minister Li colluding." Right? Prime Minister Li has been an official in the court for 30 years, so he is naturally very familiar with Emperor Daxing's handwriting."
"She's just a child, and what she says is what other people have taught her."
"Who taught it? It's the so-called child's words without scruples, and it is because of wuji that they are the most true!" Mu Yanjun looked at Shui Pei's dying struggle with indifferent eyes, and said coldly: "You planned to poison the Emperor Daxing first, and blamed the prince. Do you not want to admit to such a heinous crime that cannot be redeemed by death?"
"I am already the emperor who announced to the world. You say that my edict is false, but what evidence do you have to prove it is false? Now people from all over the world don't know that the new princess of the Tianbi Dynasty is the former Fengyi Wang Shuipei. After clapping their hands, the fifty guards who were close to them took off their armor, and all dressed in black with bows and arrows in their hands, they all pointed at Shui Rong and the courtiers.
"You are the real rebellious officials and thieves, and you deserve to be killed here today." Then he retreated behind the men in black and waved them to shoot arrows.
Before they could shoot their arrows, the faster black shadows leaped onto the city wall, passing by as fast as lightning, and these skilled archers with bows and arrows in their hands had all collapsed in a pool of blood on the ground.
Shui Rong looked at Shui Pei's shocked face lightly, and said: "The so-called sharp archers are nothing more than shooting arrows with a hundred shots. If they don't even have a chance to draw their bows, let alone good archers, they can't even hit the bow." You can't even talk about ordinary killers." The man in black put his long knife on the necks of Shui Pei and Prime Minister Li Shou.
Shui Rong turned around and looked at the courtiers who were still protecting Shui Pei, and said coldly: "What's the use of a loyal and traitorous person? It's better to resign from the official position and go back to the hometown to farm. Maybe it can benefit the neighbors. The salary of the emperor can't Sharing worries for the king, and even aiding the tyrant in abusing the king, speaking evil words is really a crime that cannot be punished!"
Mu Yanjun scratched his head, looked at Shui Peiyu's hopeful face, and said sarcastically, "Prince Feng Yi should accept the hope in his heart. At this time, your so-called 20 army is under the control of Xin Moyu's 30 army. Next, do you think they will be able to catch up?"
Shui Pei's vicious eyes gouged Mu Yanjun's mocking face viciously, and the last hope in his heart was broken. This kind of reluctance to lose made him still unwilling to bow his head, but looked at Shui Rong and Daiyu with cold and poisonous eyes. , sneered and said: "It's not difficult for you to catch me, but if you want to find the corpse of Princess Beijing, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
Shui Rong's pupils tightened, and before he could answer, Chen Ruiwen, who was standing on one side, knelt down and said, "Prince Beijing, don't worry, the body of the concubine has been properly placed in a safe place by my servant." Shui Rong looked sideways Seeing that Chen Ruiwen nodded gratefully, and lightly ordered: "Take off the crowns and robes of these rebellious officials and thieves, bind them to the court, and wait for their punishment."
Mu Yanjun rolled his eyes, looked at the courtiers and said: "A country cannot live without a monarch, but now it is better to go back to the palace and invite all the princes to the Zhengde Hall to support the new monarch." Shui Rong and Daiyu looked sideways Looking at Mu Yanjun, I always feel that Mu Yanjun's behavior in the past two days is quite strange.Mu Yanjun shrugged, walked among the courtiers and slowly descended the tower.
Shuishu has seven sons under his knees, except for the two dead Shuiyun, four sons are still alive.Now that Shui Pei is bound, the eldest of the remaining three princes is only 17 years old, and they are all invited into the court!
The untitled prince suddenly saw so many ministers, as well as Shui Pei and others kneeling in the middle, and some panic flashed in his eyes.Shui Rong beckoned them to come forward, and the eyes of all the courtiers also fell on their faces and considered them, choosing the suitable candidate in their hearts!
"Do you have any candidates for the new monarch?" Mu Yanjun stepped forward with a slight smile and asked the ministers. The monarch is the country's great trust, and for a while, they all stood on the ground and looked at each other indecisively, but no one spoke. After all These princes are still so young, and their mother's family background is low, Shui Shu never deliberately raised them when he was alive!
"My king has the last edict of the late emperor here." These words are like a boulder stirring up thousands of layers of waves, and the minds of those who are bombarded go blank for an instant, because what they have seen today is too exciting, and Qi Qi is puzzled. look away
