Chapter 207: The Imperial Decree to Never Return to Beijing
Wushan didn't expect that Bai Qi would actually betray him, and he didn't answer his father's question just now. He immediately felt something was wrong.
"Haha, Witch King, you don't know yet, but your prince has been eyeing your position for a long time. Otherwise, how could you think I would be safe and sound all these years?"
"Hahaha…"
After laughing, Bai Qi looked at Wu Qi again and said, "Do you think that the secret agents that Dujiangfu removed were all my people?"
Hearing this, Wu Qi's eyes narrowed and he looked at him coldly: "What else?"
"What if I say that half of them are actually your brother, the Crown Prince's people?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Wu Qi's expression change, but even the Witch King in a high position was a little surprised.
He originally thought that the prince would not do anything too out of line, but now it seems that is not the case.
Wu Zhu heard the hidden meaning in the words of the Qinglan prince.
As the crown prince, he not only placed spies in his brother's fiefdom, but he also cooperated with other countries.
This is tantamount to treason!
The ministers in the hall were all trembling with fear, and some even had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
They actually knew such a big thing. The person above is so unpredictable. If I don't pay attention, my head will be in danger...
Although Bai Qi didn't say anything else, everyone could hear the meaning behind his words. This prince had done a lot of things he shouldn't have done...
Wu Zhu, who was sitting high up in the seat, had a gloomy face. He looked at Bai Qi, who was still trying to speak, and shouted angrily, "Someone! Take him down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two armored soldiers came in and pulled Bai Qi down.
In contrast to Wu Zhu's gloomy expression, Bai Qi was laughing wildly at this moment: "Hahahaha, Wu Emperor, your kingdom is doomed to be in vain, haha..."
Bai Qi's words only touched Wu Zhu's heart, making Wu Zhu so angry that he was out of breath and wished he could chop Bai Qi to death right then and there.
Wu Qi, on the other hand, looked at Crown Prince Wushan with an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Crown Brother, although I had my suspicions, I still thought it was a deliberate arrangement by others. I didn't expect that those people were actually yours."
"I have already given up that position and asked to go to my fiefdom. I didn't expect you to still pursue me. So, the Crown Prince and my brother were also involved in the previous assassinations."
Friction and mutual testing between royal brothers have existed since ancient times.
However, there is really nothing that has been put on the surface.
Taking advantage of Bai Qi's excuse, Wu Qi exposed the matter.
Wu Qi did not expect his father, the emperor who had always protected the prince, to give him justice. He just wanted to tell Wu Shan not to treat him as a fool.
Suddenly, Wu Qi thought of his fourth brother Wu Zhe's words. He looked solemnly at Wu Zhu on the high seat and said, "Father, this Bai Qi is the prince of Qinglan Kingdom. Is what he said true or false? Please send someone to investigate."
"Father, there's no need to investigate my son's Dujiang Mansion. All the hidden agents there have been eradicated by me and my fourth brother."
Wu Zhu did not respond to Wu Qi's words. His heart was bleeding at this moment.
Among the secret stakes that were pulled out in Dujiang Prefecture, two of them belonged to Wu Zhu.
The purpose is to monitor Wu Qi.
Now, she was pulled out by her two most unpleasant sons, and she was so angry that she had no place to vent.
The anger that was already simmering in Wu Zhu's heart suddenly flared up after Wu Qi's call, hitting his head.
Wu Zhu suppressed his anger and glared at Wu Zhu, who was more trouble than help. "Prince and Qi'er, follow me to the imperial study. You wait here."
"promise."
Imperial study.
Wu Zhu was furious when he saw the two brothers remaining silent.
Pacing back and forth...
Wu Qi looked extremely angry on the surface, but he felt unusually relaxed in his heart.
In contrast, Wushan is somewhat uneasy.
This time, it was tantamount to treason. He, a crown prince, the future heir apparent, had actually committed treason. Furthermore, the ministers in the hall had heard it and were probably discussing how to dethrone him...
Seeing that the two were silent, Wu Zhu stopped and looked at Wu Qi suddenly: "Third brother, do you think that the fourth brother will also have a share in removing those hidden stakes this time?"
Wu Qi knew this biased father would ask this question, and having already prepared a response, he quickly replied, "Yes, Father."
"The main reason is that many mysterious forces have appeared in Dujiang Prefecture this time. They seem to be a group of people, but upon closer inspection, they are not a group of people. It just so happens that my fourth brother came to Hehe County to watch the temple fair, so I brought him along."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhu and Wu Shan raised their eyebrows and looked at Wu Qi at the same time.
"The mysterious forces are not just one group of people"
"Yes, Father. They seemed to have appeared suddenly, and they were the ones who eliminated the hidden agents. When I and my fourth brother's men arrived, we only saw the unfinished business."
Yes, Wu Zhu and Wu Shan looked at Wu Qi, but did not notice any changes in Wu Qi's expression or tone. Only then did they carefully think about where the mysterious force came from.
Wu Zhu spoke again: "You said those hidden stakes were the ones they pulled out?"
Wu Qi nodded solemnly, "They were all taken away by that force. To be honest, this Bai Qi was also sent to me by those people."
"Um"
Seeing the two people's puzzled eyes, Wu Qi told them a half-truth, and finally said that Bai Qi came from the Skull Hall of Qinglan Country. After those people handed him over to him, they hurried to Qinglan Country...
After hearing this, Wu Zhu, who had originally wanted to investigate that force and take revenge at the same time, immediately fell into deep thought.
Anyone who dares to attack the Skeleton Hall directly is definitely not an ordinary person. Moreover, there is a hint of fear in the words of the third brother, which makes Wu Zhu, who is suspicious by nature, have a bad premonition.
Especially when I think about the fact that the unlucky Fourth Brother is also there, this force might belong to that bastard Fourth Brother.
Not only did no news come from the people he had stationed in Yushan, but even from the people he had stationed in the northwest, there was no news either.
This can only mean one thing, that is, my people are no longer useful, or even disappeared...
Thinking of this possibility, Wu Zhu became furious and wanted to execute Wu Zhe immediately.
This outburst of anger led to a decision, a decision that would prevent Wu Zhe from ever returning to Beijing.
Upon hearing the news, Wushan and Wuqi looked at Wuzhu in disbelief.
"Father Emperor"
"Father, this may not be appropriate."
"What's wrong? I gave him a rich fiefdom with mountains and rivers, but that's not enough."
After saying this, he waved his hand and immediately issued an edict, ordering Wu Qi to go to the northwest to announce the edict.
Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Wu Qi was worried about his father who was stubbornly following his own way. At the same time, he felt indignant for his younger brother who had transformed a barren land into a fertile one.
