Without a single unnecessary word, the word "Prince" has turned the former brothers into kings and ministers. If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
So please assign me tasks.
Zhao Jingyan looked at him deeply and placed a heavy hand on his shoulder, "You will join me and enter the palace, kill the old thief, and then go out of the capital to fight against the enemy."
"Yes, Prince!"
Separated by a palace wall, the fight turned into tranquility, and even the smell of blood seemed to have faded a lot.
In Nuo Da's hall, on a large red sandalwood carved nine-dragon chair, King Lao Su sat upright. He was tall, with a thin face, thin lips, an eagle nose, and a pair of deep eyes with a hint of cold light.
Taking a closer look at his face for the first time, Gu Qingguan's heart tightened for no reason. This face is very different from that of Emperor Baoqing. If you look closely, it seems to have the outline of a foreigner.
Aliens? Gu Qingwan trembled, and a light seemed to flash in his mind.
King Lao Su saw Gu Qingwan looking straight at her, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Dr. Gu must be worried about the prince's safety at the moment."
"I'm worried about whether the 300,000 troops to suppress the North that the old prince said can be put in place as promised. After all, everyone has different intentions, and General Yu is not the old prince."
King Lao Su sneered and looked at her with disdain, as if he was listening to a very funny joke.
Gu Qingguan paused for a moment and decided to throw everything into the fire, "As far as I know, the 200,000 troops of the Western Suppressing Army have been waiting halfway."
"Are you kidding me, Doctor Gu?"
Gu Qingguan shook his head, "I'm afraid your prince doesn't know that General Yu had a valet named Cheng Yuan who disappeared a few days ago. Where did he go and whose hands did he fall into?"
A glint flashed in the eyes of King Lao Su. Qingguan did not let him wait and said bluntly: "He was captured by Hu Yong of the Zhenxi Army. Does the old prince know why Hu Yong wanted to capture him?"
As soon as these words came out, not only King Lao Su looked confused, but everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Gu Qingguan suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Because this man was an important witness to the annihilation of the Sheng family. By the way, he is a barbarian."
As soon as the word "Hu" came out, everyone's hearts beat like thunder. A Zhenbei Zhenjun of the Great Zhou Kingdom used barbarians as bodyguards. This was indeed a rebellion.
King Lao Su's face turned cold, his arrow-like eyes shot at Gu Qingwan with a sinister look, and sneered: "Even if he is a Hu, so what, he will rebel sooner or later, he will always rebel. Even if Hu Yong captures the person, It can’t stop an army of 300,000 people.”
"Not necessarily!" Qingguan suddenly raised his voice.
Everyone was startled and looked at her.
"Does the old prince know who this Hu Yong is?"
Gu Qingguan stood up slowly, walked to the center of the hall, and said word by word: "He is the son of the Sheng family. In his hands, the Zhenxi Army will be like a sharp arrow. He will never give in to Yu Gui's thirty Ten thousand troops marched across the Weishui River. Old King Su, your wishful thinking was wrong. "
silence!
It was deathly silent, and the air condensed into ice. There was a little light in Su Ziyu's eyes, but she couldn't see clearly what was hidden inside.
Gu Qingguan pointed his hand and said with cold eyes: "Eight years ago, the prince conspired to rebel and the Qian and Sheng families were wiped out. It should be considered your handiwork. You are the one who really wants to rebel."
The blood-stained veil in the arms of Qing Feng, the uncle's personal guard, must be the news that the uncle discovered the secret of Old King Su and ordered Qing Feng to die to convey it.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans...
Every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds, every sentence was as sharp as thunder. Everyone felt the world spinning, their heartbeats quickened, and even their breathing stopped.
Su Ziyu looked up blankly at the lonely and aloof woman, with fear and shock in her eyes.
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Old King Su laughed in anger, his laughter seemed to come from hell, it was indescribably eerie and terrifying. Zhao Jingwei felt a huge surge in her heart, and the expression on her face was as if she had seen a ghost.
"My king, I have underestimated you. It's a pity that the Sheng family has been completely wiped out by me using a series of tricks. There is no son of the Sheng family left."
When Gu Qingwan heard this, his feet softened and his body was on the verge of falling.
She didn't have any real evidence, she just made a guess in her mind, so she took advantage of the current situation to give it a try. She never thought that this guess would be true.
She steadied herself and said with a sneer: "So, God is wise. The uncle of the Sheng family had an illegitimate son in Hangzhou. Mr. Sheng never allowed him to be naturalized, so he left a bloodline. The old prince must not have thought of the cycle of hardship and fruit. Your great career will eventually end in his hands."
King Lao Su stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he stared closely at the beautiful woman in front of him, the coldness in his eyes was enough to freeze people.
The palace door was suddenly pushed open.
"Your Majesty, the Shenji Camp and the troops from the South and North Zhili have rushed to Shanhaiguan."
When King Lao Su heard this, his scalp went numb, and his cloudy eyes suddenly looked at Gu Qingwan.
The corners of Gu Qingwan's mouth turned up, and he said with a faint smile: "The Sheng family army is still the same Sheng family army, with one against a hundred, plus the Shenji camp, the armies of the south and north Zhili, attacking from the front and back, Old King Su, you rely on thirty Ten thousand troops are in danger."
King Lao Su looked gloomy, and he was at a loss for a moment. Is it really what this woman said...
"Come here, pull these people to the top of the city wall. If Zhao Jingyan dares to attack the city, I will kill each of them with half a stick of incense."
As soon as she said this, Gu Qingwan understood that King Lao Su did not believe her words, but wanted to delay the arrival of Zhenbei Army.
At this moment, Su Ziyu took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, leave this matter to me."
Qingguan's faint smile froze on her face, and she looked at him wordlessly, with a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.
Su Ziyu noticed her gaze, looked back indifferently, then picked up a second-grade Beijing official and walked away.
Qingguan looked around and slowly lowered his eyes. She knew very well that when everyone was killed, it would be her turn.
This palace surrounded King Su's lineage, and also surrounded her.
Whether it was life or death, she didn't know.
But there are some things that she must know as long as she lives.
"Old King Su, you haven't answered my question yet."
King Lao Su looked at him deeply, feeling unspeakably disgusted with the woman in front of him. He didn't know where he went wrong in the dense web he weaved, but he had an intuition that it was inseparable from the woman in front of him.
But when things got to this point, he was not afraid to say, "Taohong, pour me some more wine."
This call made Concubine Yin look happy and made Qing Guan secretly frightened.
She looked at Zhao Jingwei in disbelief, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw that he was also dumbfounded. This turbulent and mysterious inner palace is indeed unbearable.
The wine is filled.
Old King Su drank it all in one gulp and pointed to his seat, "Come, come, come, come and hear how I started to weave the web."
Gu Qingwan's heart felt like a knife had been slashed through it, and his eyes suddenly felt like swords.
His biological mother's name was Zhelan, a princess of the Hu tribe from a nomadic tribe under the rule of the Turks. Because of her extraordinary beauty, she was offered to Emperor Xuan according to the imperial decree.
According to historical records, all foreign princesses who are brought to the harem can only be ordinary maids. They are not allowed to be promoted to concubines, and they are not allowed to conceive royal blood illicitly.
The biological mother was smart, and on the occasion of the Spring Festival in the palace, she performed a Hu dance that shocked the world. Emperor Xuan's face was overjoyed, and he came to see him after drinking.
In the deep palace, if a woman wants to be successful, she must have children by her side. The biological mother used the secret method of the Hu tribe outside the Great Wall to prevent her from showing signs of pregnancy for seven months, but after all, paper could not contain the fire.
Emperor Xuan was furious and ordered Qian Zongfang to use a trick to remove the mother and keep the son when she was about to give birth.
His biological mother died of a blood collapse, leaving him alone in the world. The late emperor named him Zhao Yihu. Because he was of foreign origin, none of the concubines in the harem wanted to feed him, so he was raised by the eunuch Li Chengyi from an early age.
As soon as Li Cheng saw that he was smart and alert, he taught and cared for him carefully, and gave him as much care as a father and a mother.
Because of his power in the palace, he, a foreign prince, was spared many disasters and regarded him as a father in his heart.
As he grew up, he was still not favored in the palace and was in a very embarrassing situation. Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty was at war with the Turks. In order to protect him from being implicated, Li Chengyi knelt down and asked Emperor Xuan to allow him to join the army.
Therefore, when he was fifteen years old, as a prince, he joined the army, often at the frontier and made many military exploits.
However, no matter how outstanding he was, King Xuan was still wary of him. Not only would he be rewarded based on his merits, but it would also be extremely difficult to get promoted without him.
There is no other reason, just because the blood of barbarians flows in his body.
He was extremely depressed.
In the 30th year of Emperor Xuan's reign, he was summoned back to the capital and rescued Yin Taohong by chance. The two of them went back and forth, secretly falling in love.
He shamelessly spoke to his father, hoping that his father would betroth Yin Taohong to him as his wife. However, what he was waiting for was his father's cold eyes.
It turned out that his father had already arranged a marriage for him, and he was just the daughter of a third-rank official, still far away in Suzhou.
This move was to clear the obstacles to the prince's imperial power and to prevent him from harboring dissatisfaction.
There was no one to complain about the grievances in his heart, so he could only hold Li Chengyi and cry bitterly.
Li Chengyi tried hard to persuade him for a night, but he couldn't listen to a word of it, so he left Beijing to join the army the next day.
In the thirty-fifth year of Emperor Xuan's reign, his father sent three summonses in a row, ordering him to return to the capital to get married. He thought about marrying the daughter of a third-rank official, but he felt shameful in his heart, so he delayed returning.
However, what awaited him was the news of Li Chengyi's death.
His father used Li Chengyi's death to force him to return to the capital. He looked at the remains of the man who had taken pains to raise him for fifteen years, his heart was cut by a knife, and his hatred was overwhelming.
He is also his son, with his blood flowing through his body, why should he cut off even this last thought. Is he so unworthy of being his son
At that moment, desire arose in his heart, desire for power and the power of life and death. In this life, he will never look up to others again.
To ascend to the highest position, you must first survive.
From then on, his personality changed drastically. He hunted on horseback, walked dogs with hawks, hung around fences, and indulged in love affairs. He became a libertine who was despised by everyone and could not even keep a marriage.
Later, he indulged in the mountains and rivers, made friends from all over the world, and secretly sent his confidants to get in touch with the patriarch of his mother clan, taking sole control of foreign trade, and privately sold tea, salt, iron, and various Turkic tribes. In just five years, he became as rich as the enemy.
Only with money can we raise troops and fight wars. Just when he was living in the northwest, he never thought that Zhao Yong would join forces with Zhao Pingyang to ascend the throne with thunderous momentum.
It turns out that the beauty of power is not something he can only glimpse.
Does the emperor and general Xiang Ning have the guts? One day, the person on the throne will definitely be him. So, he began to lay out a plan that concealed the truth and changed the pillars.
