God knows, those gunpowders were all prepared by their Jinyiwei people, and His Highness Qin was just talking.
After the old emperor knew the whole story, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He secretly blamed himself for wrongly blaming Qin Jiyan, and was thinking about how to compensate Qin Jiyan...
Under such circumstances, the King of Zhou would most likely take risks. Just like King Zhao, when he saw that there was no hope of succeeding to the throne, he rebelled decisively and even cooperated with Xihu to lure Xihu into the pass.
King Zhou knelt there, watching helplessly as his sons were being taken away one by one, and there was nothing he could do.
With the imperial edict of reprimand from the old emperor, the King of Zhou lost all face, had almost no place in the court, and had no hope of ascending to the throne. Even if he tried to enthrone, he might not be able to succeed.
The leader of the Jin Yiwei selectively ignored the previous words and only answered the latter, "His Highness's whereabouts are secret, and I don't know it. My subordinates only found out that His Highness rushed to the battlefield with a large amount of gunpowder, and successfully drove back the coalition forces of Xihu and King Zhao." "
Since ancient times, only emperors have been able to accept the kneeling of civil and military officials.
Master Feng really wanted to discuss it with his father, but thinking of his father's attitude, Master Feng held back.
Seeing the old emperor suppressing King Zhou so bluntly, Qin Jiyan was not happy, "The emperor is trying to force Uncle Zhou to rebel."
"That boy always knows how to use tricks. However, his performance in the northwest is indeed outstanding." The old emperor suddenly laughed again, his eyes full of pride.
He believed that no matter what happened, Qin Jiyan could solve it...
Needless to say, scolding, this shows that the emperor is disgusted with King Zhou. As for asking King Zhou to send all his sons to the palace
"Otherwise, there is no way to survive. If I were King Zhou, I would take risks." Gu Qiancheng sighed.
This move undoubtedly established Qin Jiyan's identity.
Although King Zhou is not very old, it is hard to say whether he can still give birth to a son...
The leader of the Jin Yiwei was a little stupid when he heard the emperor's words.
Do you really think that the fifth prince does not doubt Xiaoyao
Prince Zhou's Mansion.
Because he felt guilty but could not show it directly, the old emperor asked the Ministry of Rites to make grand arrangements and send all the civil and military officials to the outside of the city to welcome Qin Jiyan back to the capital.
His Highness Qin was about to enter the city tomorrow, so he had better find an opportunity to go to His Highness Qin to inquire about the news.
This is the cleverness of speaking. There is no need to be too straightforward. Once this matter is brought out, the old emperor will naturally think that Qin Jiyan left to prepare gunpowder.
After the Imperial Guards announced the imperial edict, they did not give King Zhou a chance to think of countermeasures. They forcefully "invited" King Zhou's sons, including the crown prince, one by one, onto the carriage and into the palace.
The fifth prince has been completely ruined. The only one who has this ability and is crazy enough to kill Qin Jiyan is King Zhao, but also King Zhou.
There is also the fifth prince. The reason why he was stupid enough to fall into the trap of others was because he saw that he had no possibility of ascending to the throne, and was tempted by others to take risks for that one-in-a-ten thousand chance
In addition, the old emperor also expressed his dissatisfaction with King Zhou.
After the imperial edict was issued, the whole court was in an uproar. Seeing the old emperor confining the five princes in the palace and suppressing the king of Zhou, the civil and military officials increasingly believed that this was to pass the throne to Qin Jiyan. Only Lord Feng was uneasy.
The old emperor has been forgetful recently, and his behavior is more paranoid than before. The leader of the Jinyiwei has been cautious recently, fearing that the old emperor will be dissatisfied.
The old emperor's high-profile rebuke to King Zhou was almost known to everyone in the court. Qin Jiyan, who was far outside the city, knew about this without the need for a secret guard to report, and he also knew King Zhou's expression at that time.
It sounds nice that the emperor wants to teach him personally, but in fact he is using the son of King Zhou as a hostage. He warned King Zhou not to touch Qin Jiyan and not to rebel, otherwise his son would not end well.
The older son is okay. Although his face is ashen, he can maintain his dignity and pride on the surface. The younger ones couldn't do it. When they saw the imperial guards forcing them into the carriage, they all shouted in panic: "Father, father... I don't want to enter the palace, I want to be with you."
Cursing in his heart but not showing it on his face, the leader of the Jinyiwei said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, when His Highness returns to the capital this time, it will be impossible for him to go to the battlefield again. His Highness must explain clearly before leaving."
Doing this will cause chaos in the army, and it has happened once before!
However, there is a one in 10,000 possibility that the fifth prince does not want to give up.
"Father..."
The old emperor frowned and said dissatisfied: "Didn't I tell him to come back privately? By the way, where did he go when he left the military camp last time?"
The temptation of the throne to the prince is too great. For the sake of the throne, he can kill his father and his brother, so why not sacrifice a little money...
What
The old emperor was a kind grandfather, but he was also a cruel grandfather. The announcement of King Zhou's sons into the palace at this juncture showed that the old emperor would definitely be able to abolish all the sons of King Zhou.
After the Royal Forest Army left, King Zhou stood up tremblingly and glanced at the imperial edict in his hand. He was about to throw it to the ground without thinking, but as soon as he lifted it up, he heard the great scholar sent by the old emperor say: "Your Majesty, thunder and rain are coming. It's all your kindness. My lord, you really have to learn more."
Don't think that without evidence, he doesn't know who sent the murderer to ambush Ji Yan halfway.
The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. Thinking of the previous run on Daqin Bank, Lord Feng had a bad feeling. However, Daqin Bank has returned to calm in the past two days, so everything should be fine, right
The leader of the Jinyiwei noticed the change in the old emperor and was unwilling to miss this opportunity. He said casually: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the reason why His Highness the Emperor Taisun chose to take this road is because of the people who were chasing him along the way. There were too many people. In just three days after leaving the northwest, His Highness the Emperor Taisun encountered dozens of assassinations, large and small. He did not even have time to close his eyes along the way. His Highness the Emperor Taisun had no choice but to abandon the army. , take the shortest road back to the capital."
"Pursuit?" The two places are far apart. The leader of the Jinyi Guards didn't say anything about this, so the old emperor really didn't know. "I ordered him to come to Beijing privately. What? The news was leaked?"
The sound was not loud, but when King Zhou heard it, it was like a lightning strike. The expression on his face was uncontrollable, twisted and ferocious. He looked angrily at the imperial edict in his hand, but in the end he did not fall down.
His Highness Qin is the commander-in-chief of the army. The Emperor doesn't think His Highness Qin can leave the northwest quietly without giving an explanation to the army, right
In the afternoon of that day, the old emperor's imperial edict reprimanding King Zhou was sent to King Zhou's palace. In addition, the old emperor also sent an old gentleman to King Zhou, saying that he wanted to teach King Zhou what it means to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and what it means to be a king and a minister.
In addition, the old emperor asked King Zhou to send all his sons to the palace. The reason was that King Zhou did not know how to teach his sons, and he, the grandfather, did it for him.
The current emperor can be said to be moody and angry.
"Hey, I wonder if Sijin is okay in the northwest? It's been so long and I don't know how to write a letter back. It's really the same whether the son is born or not." Master Feng sighed, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.
