Chapter 213 Mr. Liu
The emperor never returned, and the queen knew it was a big deal.
But no one could have imagined that someone was going to stir up bloody storm in the capital again.
"The Emperor's place..."
"The Emperor has already sent someone."
Eunuch Liu answered softly.
If someone really wants to force the emperor to abdicate, the emperor emeritus must be the key.
Although the old man cannot speak or write now, if someone really breaks into the palace, it will be a huge disaster.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered General Lan and others to secretly guard here. As for other places in the palace, the Emperor has said that you don't have to worry about it."
In this palace, for the emperor, the second most important person besides the emperor emeritus is the queen.
Although preparations have been made, it is still unclear who is going to take action.
The emperor considered Prince Jin, but Prince Jin was not capable of accomplishing great things.
We are now investigating all the princes, but if they can hide so deeply, it will obviously take more than a moment to find out.
All we can do now is defend.
"Okay! I got it."
The queen nodded and said, "I'll leave the emperor's place to you."
From the day she achieved success overnight, she was mentally prepared.
Now that he has arrived, the Queen has nothing to panic about.
After all, the emperor had received the news from Jia Zhen and was mentally prepared.
"I'm here, so you can make him feel at ease!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Liu retreated quickly.
There is still a lot to come today.
The emperor emeritus fell, and he had to take over the power that previously belonged to Dai Quan, Xia Shouzhong and others.
I originally thought it would be fine if I took it slow, but now it seems better to keep it in hand.
Fortunately, from the day it was confirmed that the emperor could not speak or move, the wind in the palace had already tilted in his favor.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
In Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning was not only working on her musket, but also the three-barreled muskets in the armory, all of which were prepared with gunpowder.
Twenty escorts from the Fuwei Escort Agency entered the outer courtyard silently.
"Ma'am, everything has been done."
Jiao Dalai replied, "Over at Tianxiang Tower..."
"I'll personally watch over Tianxiang Tower."
After all, it is the inner courtyard.
Even when the children are on holiday, Mr. Zhan is still in Ningcuixuan.
Shen Ning considered giving her a vacation, but once the capital was in chaos, it would be hard to say what would happen to the Zhan family. Zhan Xue's relationship with them was only out of respect, so it would be better to let her stay in the mansion than to let her go back.
"You can always come over, too."
If something really happens, this old man will have to give orders using secret codes.
"It's settled then."
Jiao Da was relieved.
He had been running around all day and was very tired. After he finished explaining everything he needed to do, he lay down and fell asleep.
Shen Ning moved to Tianxiang Tower overnight.
The four people from the southeast, northwest, and northwest and Wen Peilan took turns to keep watch on the top floor.
She...
I slept all night until dawn.
When you wake up early, do what you should do.
In fact, ordinary people really don’t know what the difference is between today and yesterday.
Even ordinary officials didn’t know that they should go to court.
However, today's morning court was particularly brief. Prince Jing and others who were asked to attend the court were confused. They didn't hear anything important, so why were they all asked to attend the court? "My dear brothers, wait a moment!"
When the court was over, the emperor called out, "When I went to see my father last night, he burst into tears. He has been ill in bed for a long time, so I think he wants to see us more often."
During the court session today, the emperor did not notice any of his brothers acting strangely. He was alert and decided to detain them all in the palace. "In that case, you will accompany me to see my father today and see if he can be happier."
This? There is nothing wrong with what he said, but does the old man really want to see them?
Prince Jing may not think so.
He went to pay his respects several times, but the old man looked at him with disdain.
It’s just that… Prince Jing would never take the initiative to let his brothers know this.
He sighed, and like everyone else, went to Shoukang Palace looking uncomfortable.
The emperor suffered a loss once and dared not to do anything evil again.
It was impossible for the imperial physician to examine the private parts easily, let alone the sons.
Fortunately, he did not act like a demon, and the eunuchs who served him did not abuse him anymore.
They continued to serve diligently as if what happened a few days ago had never happened.
However, suddenly seeing such a large group of sons...
The emperor was delighted.
Could it be that some spy that his son had placed beside him reported to them that he was being abused?
But……
The emperor looked at them and felt something was wrong.
He couldn't help but look at the emperor's son more.
The emperor's expression today looked like he was suppressing something.
The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
Since his abdication, this son has been patient and has done a very good job of it.
Until now, the habit of saying good morning and reporting in the evening has not changed.
Although he can't speak, but he can do this, the emperor... can also be called a filial son.
Now that it's like this, what's going to happen?
The emperor closed his eyes.
He is old and can't take care of himself. He has no choice.
"Father!"
When the emperor sat down in front of the bed, he heard a lot of footsteps outside the hall, and something sounded wrong.
Prince Jing and others couldn't help but look outside.
As expected, this place was surrounded by the imperial guards.
This? How is this possible? "Chai Xuyao, the governor of the Beijing camp, closed the camp yesterday."
What? The emperor's words seemed calm, but everyone who heard them was shocked.
The New Year is coming, how could the Beijing Camp close?
What about the rules set by Jia Yan and Jia Daihua? The emperor's hands were already shaking, and now they were shaking even more.
His cloudy eyes, with a hint of fierceness, swept across his sons' faces one by one.
But each of these sons looked hesitant and seemed like innocent people.
So what's wrong?
"Father, has he ever mentioned the application to you?"
The emperor didn't care what they were thinking and asked directly, "If not, just wave your hand."
He wanted to know if the old man had a hand in this.
It shouldn't.
The old man couldn't speak or write, so even if he was dissatisfied with him and wanted to get rid of him, he would not let Chai close the camp.
Instead, he should be asked to serve the king and protect him.
The emperor waved his hand.
Waving hands excitedly.
At the same time, he looked at his other sons fiercely.
Although they were all sons, he once loved them very much. However, the emperor, the one he ignored the most, was undeniably a qualified king.
The emperor felt relieved when he handed over Dazhao to him.
It might be okay to hand it over to other sons, but he doesn't have the time or energy to look after it anymore. What if something goes wrong...
"Father said no."
When the emperor turned around, the newly promoted Dragon Guards also rushed in quickly. They stared at the princes with eager eyes, "We are brothers. We have this life but no afterlife. The tragedy that happened to my prince back then must not happen again.
Father is old, and can’t bear to see his younger son die before his father.”
The emperor looked at his brothers and said, "My meaning is very simple. Whoever did it should stand up. I will say in front of my father and brothers that this matter is over. You can be an idle prince and live a happy life.
I don’t recognize…”
The emperor stood up slowly and said, "Then don't blame me for being merciless. There is no brotherhood, no uncle-nephew relationship. The whole family, young and old, will be imprisoned for the rest of their lives."
"Ah~~uh~~~"
The emperor was drooling and wanted that unfilial son to stand up.
But no one stood up.
"Your Majesty, you can't keep staring at us!"
Prince Jing saw that the emperor had murderous eyes and was looking at him the most, so he hurriedly said, "And Prince Jin, Prince Jin is not here, he is imprisoned in the clan house, he may not accept it, and let his subordinates..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became strange again.
His throat was gurgling as if it was blocked by phlegm. He opened his mouth and tried hard to breathe, but he couldn't.
"Doctor, call the doctor!"
The emperor shouted to the imperial physician on duty in the side hall, and winked at a few of his confidants, "Bring Prince Jin."
If it was really done by King Jin...
The emperor gritted his teeth in his heart.
He swore that he would make him regret living in this world.
All the families that joined him in the rebellion, one by one, all of them should die! At this moment, he had already killed the Zhen family in his heart.
Besides his father, the Zhen family has always been the biggest support for Prince Jin.
Judging from the expression on my father's face just now, I'm afraid that something has been given to Prince Jin a long time ago, and Prince Jin is using those things to launch a mutiny.
The imperial doctors were busy. The old man's phlegm was difficult to remove and could only be sucked out by humans.
But who does this job? The first thing the imperial doctors see is the princes.
…
The clan house was quiet.
The imperial guards arrived quickly, but what no one expected was that Prince Jin was missing.
All the personnel on duty at the Ministry of Clan Affairs were either dead or had been drugged and were in a coma.
This? When the imperial guards quickly reported the incident, the capital city was also in a state of panic.
At the same time, in the spacious secret passage under the servants' room in Prince Jin's Mansion, Mr. Liu, who was being sought by all parties, was making the final route adjustments with the maps of the capital and the imperial city.
Chai Xuyao didn't give them much time.
"Mr. Liu! Prince Jin brought it back."
When several men in black dragged Prince Jin in, his heart was trembling.
"Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu?"
It was only at this moment that he felt something was wrong, "You, you you..."
The King of Jin's speech was incoherent and his body was limp.
"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty!"
Mr. Liu smiled at him and said, "Haven't you always wanted to take back the throne that belongs to you all these years?"
King Jin: “…”
He wanted to take it, but...
"You, who are you?"
"Haha, you are confused, aren't you?"
Mr. Liu smiled. "Isn't my last name Liu and my first name Yuan?"
"You...what do you want to do?"
Are they bringing him out of the clan house at this time because they are afraid that he will die too slowly?
King Jin never thought about death.
His father is the emperor, and he is the son of the royal family. Even if he did something wrong, the emperor cannot kill him.
Like the previous Ming Dynasty, Taizu also left a will before his death, stating that the emperor's sword should not be directed at his family members who had been crowned kings.
Taizu considered that the reproduction of his descendants in the future might be the same as that of the former Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent it from bringing too much burden to Dazhao, only one of his sons could inherit the title of Prince.
Others can only be considered as clan members, and when the family is divided they can only get things from the palace.
Of course he refused to accept it! He wanted to give it a try, and he had been working hard on this over the years.
But, he can work hard on his own, but... it's not enough for outsiders to help him...
"Of course I want to do what you want to do."
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Why? You don't dare now?"
King Jin: “…”
He swallowed hard, "Now is not the right time."
He will die.
He will really die.
Not only did he die, but Prince Jin's Mansion...
"Hehe, when is the time ripe?"
Mr. Liu seemed to have heard something funny. "When the prince left, the time was ripe. Concubine Zhen didn't dare to move, and neither did you. After the emperor ascended the throne, he has been doing nothing, and the time was ripe, but you still didn't dare to move.
Now, you are imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court. If you don't move... do you think the Emperor will forgive you?"
King Jin: “…”
His face turned even paler. "You, how many of you are there? What do you want...what do you want me to do?"
At this moment, he also realized that this person dared to show his face in front of him, and he might have made all preparations.
This person knows his words and everything about him.
The King of Jin regretted so much that he had raised a ghost that devoured its master.
"How come it depends on how many of us there are?"
Mr. Liu smiled, "It should be how many people you have."
He? The King of Jin sat down on the ground.
This person knew all of his people, "Okay, so...what do you want me to do?"
If I had known...
Prince Jin is about to cry.
If he had known this, he might as well choose the right time himself.
"No need to do anything."
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Just stay here and wait for news with us."
Here? The King of Jin looked around, he didn't recognize anyone.
"Why?"
He asked.
“Haha! Hahaha…”
Mr. Liu laughed out loud at his amusement. "Why? You ask me why now? Then tell me, why did you keep me here in the first place?"
Why?
Prince Jin's body shook.
Mr. Liu ignored him and handed the route map he had drawn to a man in black, "Take it up and get started!"
Although it is better to do it at night, it makes it easier for some people to take advantage of the situation.
However, the palaces of the kings were under secret surveillance last night, and I think some news must have leaked.
But it doesn't matter.
There are advantages to the night and there are advantages to the day.
He knew the handwriting of every prince.
The Prince of Jin also ordered people to secretly carve the private seals of the princes.
Today will be a feast.
"Win... You can't win."
King Jin suddenly said, "Stop it!"
"Stop?"
Mr. Liu laughed very happily, "You can't win, you die! What does it have to do with me?"
King Jin: “…”
He stared at the man in amazement.
"You brothers, except for the crown prince and the emperor, are actually not good people."
Mr. Liu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to do it slowly, but who told you to be so stupid?"
Stupid enough to kill yourself.
He keeps committing suicide.
"My home is gone, my only sister is dead, but you are alive."
At this point, he slapped King Jin in the face, "It was you, you used me to kill my sister."
He doesn't know.
He was imprisoned in Prince Jin's Mansion and knew nothing.
By the time you know it, it's too late.
"You all deserve to die. All of you deserve to die."
His sister and his parents went to the capital to look for him, but they didn't expect...
"If it weren't for you, my parents, my sister, and my two little nephews would all be alive and well now."
