The Yan Kingdom, Kyoto, the Fifth Prince's Palace.
The fifth prince, who was recuperating in the mansion, received a secret letter. After reading the contents of the letter, his pretty eyebrows stretched slightly, and his slightly pale face showed a slight smile.
Putting the letter on the candle and watching it ignite into ashes, the fifth prince chuckled and said to himself, "Second brother is still so restless, he is just supervising the country on his behalf, and he has not sat down yet. At that position, I started to move around. To win courtiers, exclude dissidents, and mutilate Zhongliang, are you really too sick to be a father and emperor? Stupid!"
Fingers clasped on the table, the fifth prince coughed a few times, and said to the guard beside him: "Go, the general king was poisoned, and the news of life and death will be passed on to the third prince."
"Yes!" The guard led the order out.
The fifth prince slowly stood up from the seat, clutching his dull and dull chest, coughing violently, a hint of red overflowing from the corner of his mouth. The fifth prince smiled coldly. His broken body was bestowed by his good second brother and third brother. He is not in that position, and he will never let the two of them reach the top!
The Queen had nothing to do under her knees, and the Fifth Prince had been raised by her side since childhood. He is smart, witty, and won the favor of his father. In ordinary people, it is harmless for elders to prefer a certain junior. Can be born in the royal family, if you are not careful, you will be wiped out.
At the age of twelve, following his father Huangdong, he was pushed into the ice cave by his good third brother, almost killing him. And his good third brother, when he was discovered, pretended to be a brother and jumped into the ice water to "rescue" him. He was actually pushed into the water and nearly suffocated
When the palace was recuperating, the medicine was put down. When the imperial physician discovered it, his internal organs had been invaded by toxins, and he became a medicine jar that could not be separated from the soup. And the initiator was his hypocrite second brother!
Eight years later, he suffers in pain all the time. He dragged a crippled body, endured enormous pain, gritted his teeth and lived, just to see his second brother and third brother, and he could not ask for that position. After a lot of hard work, the bamboo basket was empty in the end. I wonder if his second brother and third brother can bear this kind of blow
The Palace, the Hall of Purity.
"Your Majesty, the third prince asks to see you!" Eunuch Li Shun'er, looking at the emperor who was teasing a parrot with melon seeds in the hall, twitched the corners of his mouth and bowed.
Emperor Shengde threw the melon seeds in his hand, and at the same speed as the young man, he jumped onto the dragon bed, put on a look of dying, and weakly ordered, "Let him come in!"
"My son pays respects to the emperor!" The tall and burly third prince with a beard strode in from the outside and bowed down beside Emperor Shengde's dragon bed. The only pair of tiger eyes that are somewhat similar to the emperor, with a bit of concern, "Father, are you feeling better?"
"Cough, cough," Emperor Shengde coughed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "It's better, the third, you have a heart!"
"Father Emperor" the three princes hesitated.
Emperor Shengde glared at him and said, "If you have something to say, don't hesitate, like a bitch!" Chief Li Shun lifted his eyelids, my emperor, you speak foul language, really okay
"Imperial father, my cousin and cousin are poisoned, they are being hunted down, and their life and death are unknown!" Ling Juechen's mother was Ronghe Princess, the younger sister of Emperor Shengde's same mother. Ling Juechen's father saved Emperor Shengde's life during a private visit, but he himself died of serious injuries. Princess Rong He became a monk in the Cihe Nunnery when she was heartbroken and depressed. At that time, Ling Juechen was only a five-year-old child.
"Who? Who are you talking about?!" Emperor Shengde suddenly sat up on the dragon couch, his face changed drastically, and he asked sharply. Not to mention that the old general Wang had always been loyal to the imperial court, but to say that Ling Juechen was the only child he had left behind with his mother, concubine and sister, this news was enough to anger him!
"Cousin Mu Qing, under the severe poison, was pursued by dozens of killers, and his life and death are unknown!" The third prince showed a sad expression at the right time, and sighed and regretted. Mu Qing is Ling Juechen's word. Mu Qing Muqing, love Mu Qingqing.
"Pfft!" Under the grief and anger of Emperor Shengde, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and there was a sharp pain in his chest, and he fell on the dragon couch, panting violently, "Impossible! That child Mu Qing is so smart and skilled, how could it be possible? Someone else's way?"
Li Shun, Director Li was shocked, and hurriedly helped the emperor to lie down, and screamed: "Quick! Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!"
Emperor Shengde waved his hand to stop him, stared at the third prince with majestic tiger eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Young third, you continue!"
The third prince thought of the news he had received, and sneered secretly, and fell into the hands of his trusted confidant. How could Ling Juechen be considered a stunning, brilliant, and unparalleled intellect? But he said with a sad face: "I don't believe that my cousin would be killed so easily. After investigation, I found that his right-hand man, Vice General Sun, had an abnormality before and after his cousin's accident!"
"Sun You? Mu Qing once rescued him from the dead, but he actually betrayed his savior?"
"Father, you have to take care of your health!" The third prince was really afraid that his long-sick father would be annoyed by his news. Isn't the world in the hands of the second child in vain? The third prince "filially" helped the emperor to caress his chest.
Emperor Shengde took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "Behind Sun You, is the old second!?" Of his five sons, the eldest died young, the second is gloomy, the third is reckless, and the fourth is disabled , The fifth is sick and weak. He pretended to be sick this time to pick up the plane and sharpen his two sons.
Unexpectedly, the second and the third did not need him to deliberately create conflicts, so they couldn't wait to fight. The two compete to win over courtiers and suppress dissidents.
The third child is okay, although he acts recklessly and impulsive, he doesn't have so many sinister tricks. And Lao Er's sullen temperament got the chance to supervise the country, which intensified. Recruit important officials, exclude dissidents, and be stubborn. In just half a year, there were three ministers, either at home or outside.
Some time ago, Lao Er had been in frequent contact with the Great General's palace, probably because he hit a nail, he deliberately recalled the God of War of the Yan Kingdom from the battlefield to "seek medicine" for him. He had never imagined that Lao Er was so daring to attack Mu Qing!
"Father Emperor Shengming!" The third prince accepted it as soon as he saw it. After all, the source of his news was not so honest, and there was no substantive evidence in his hands. Otherwise, he would have picked up the plane and pulled the second child from the position of supervising the country!
"Check! Check it out for me!!" Emperor Shengde's expression was slightly grim. Lao Erzhen treats him as a dying person and doesn't take him seriously? !
