Chapter 215 Rage
In Shoukang Palace, the retired emperor met the returning emperor.
He was paralyzed, but he still had the use of his ears.
A eunuch just said that the sons' palaces were on fire.
This was definitely not done by Prince Jin.
He doesn't have that much courage or determination.
If he really had such courage and determination, he would have jumped out and done it in the first year after he passed the throne to the emperor and felt regretful.
I didn't have the courage to do it then, and it's even more impossible now.
The retired emperor wanted to tell the emperor, but he drooled and opened his mouth, but when he saw the emperor's expression, not a single word came out.
"Father!"
The emperor stood in front of the bed of the former emperor, who was high above him, and looked down at him calmly, "You gave all the people you had to the King of Jin, right?"
The Emperor: “…”
His throat moved and his face became even more pale.
He issued several secret orders! Those people hold heavy troops. If the King of Jin uses...
The emperor emeritus is too ashamed to look at the emperor's son.
But the incident has already happened. The key now is not to investigate it, but to find a solution!
The Prince of Jin is moody, stubborn, stupid and incompetent. Judging from the way he dealt with the Jia family, even if he really wins, it will not last long.
Dazhao will be destroyed in his hands.
"Uh~~~"
The retired emperor opened his mouth and wanted to tell the emperor, "Go and get him quickly, there's no use staring at me!"
But the sound produced was not what he wanted.
"Huh~"
The emperor was very disappointed. "Hasn't my son done well enough? You told me to go east, but I never went west. You said I abdicated, but what's the difference between you and being in power? Oh, there are still some differences. All the tedious government affairs were done by your son.
You have helped my son to the throne, do you think you have done me a favor? You did not give my son a cent of the income from the imperial farm and the royal family. During the New Year, my son wanted to reward someone... No, no, no, my son does not ask for rewards. My son cannot even live the ordinary life he used to.
The brothers are all laughing at my son, and the ministers don't take my son seriously. They all have their own camps and their own relatives. If they are unhappy, they will directly spray my son's face in the court, and my son has to smile for them. If they show a wronged face in front of you, you can call my son over and scold him. "
He had managed to maintain it until now, but what was the result? The King of Jin still rebelled.
News has come from the Imperial Guards that Sang Qingyu has rebelled.
If Jia Zhen had not been smart and asked him to take precautions in advance, who knows what would have happened now.
"I have endured all these. I think that being the emperor is indeed an advantage over my brothers. So, even though I am poor, I am still happy. The Queen accompanies me and gives me all the dowry..."
It was fine when he was talking about himself, but when he talked about the queen, the emperor couldn't help but choke up.
"The capital is the face of Dazhao, but the elderly and children in the Charity Bureau are hungry and cold. The son is the emperor, and the son has responsibilities. The queen gave away everything for her son's face, but she herself is reluctant to eat and drink. If it were just that, it would be fine, but what kind of queen is she? She is targeted by the emperor's sisters-in-law and bullied by Concubine Zhen..."
The emperor wiped away his tears and said, "Over the years, my son almost sacrificed his life for you, just like the prince, but what about you? How did you do it?"
He roared and questioned, "I gave you face, I tried my best to save your face, but did you give me face?"
Just one step away, and his family will follow a similar path to the prince.
"My brother, the crown prince, is sincere in his work, but for the sake of your own power, you support this son today and pamper that son tomorrow, gradually nurturing their hearts."
The King of Jin's heart has been brought up, otherwise, how could he dare?
"Okay, the Crown Prince won't play with you anymore. He left with his family. You are panicking, you are scared, you don't trust anyone, and you just throw the throne to me, who has no foundation at all and can be manipulated by anyone, right?"
The emperor asked himself that he had never done anything wrong to anyone, but...
At this moment, his heart was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. "You are reluctant to give up your throne, so why don't you get up? Why are you playing with us? Are we your enemies? What do you think Dazhao is?"
He is a lord, and he looks down on people like his father.
"What do you think of Taizu? Do you have the face to see him in the afterlife? Do you have the face to see the crown prince?"
Dai Quan and others huddled in the side hall, not daring to make a sound.
They all knew that although it was Prince Jin who rebelled, it was the Emperor Emeritus who condoned him.
Your Majesty today...
This is so infuriating!
The emperor lying on the bed had buzzing ears and black vision.
He heard all the emperor's condemnations.
He was blaming him, but...but he had just prepared himself!
How many retired emperors in history books had miserable later years?
He has the ability to defend, so how can he not defend?
He just didn't expect King Jin to be so stupid.
He was clearly charged with being unfilial and sent to the clan house, but he refused to stop and took a risk...
All of this was beyond the Emperor's expectations.
But now the emperor is blaming him.
he……
The emperor felt he had no way to defend himself.
Of course he knew that the emperor was having a hard time.
But he was still here. If all the income from the imperial farm and other places was given to the emperor, what would he, the abdicated emperor, have in his hands? Who would still listen to him?
He is old, the emperor only needs to be patient for a few more years...
No, no, no, even if I have to endure for another ten or twenty years, what does it matter? This world is originally his.
he……
The retired emperor was born into a wealthy family. Now in this situation, he has no idea how much injustice he has suffered, but the emperor can't see it and is still brooding over his mistakes.
The old man stared at the emperor with his cloudy eyes.
Isn't it about filial piety? Isn't it about being able to endure?
Now that you dare to roar in front of him, you are just taking advantage of his old age and weakness.
Without him, where would they come from? They all deserve to die.
The retired emperor grumbled in his throat and seemed about to curse someone. The emperor saw it and laughed.
Case after case in history books told him that there were no fathers and sons in the royal family.
But after the Crown Prince died, he thought his father regretted it. He thought that if he worked harder to make up for his father's pain of losing his son, his father would also see some good in him. But now...
“Haha~”
The emperor laughed, "Hahaha~~~~"
The emperor laughed, "I really shouldn't have expected anything from someone like you."
He wiped away all the tears on his face and said, "My dear father, please stay here. Wait, the prince is gone. Those immoral pigs and dogs really don't deserve to live in this world."
What? The emperor saw him turn around and leave, how could he not know what he was going to do? He tried hard to move, but couldn't!
My body just won't obey me at all.
“Uh ah~ Uh ah~~~”
Dai Quan and others all heard the emperor's unusual call, but after looking at each other, they did not move.
The Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus have fallen out, and they...served him too attentively, which might be a crime in the eyes of the Emperor.
As for the King of Jin raising an army...
The emperor has taken precautions. Even if all the princes help Prince Jin, nothing can be accomplished.
Dai Quan sighed softly.
At the same time, the imprisoned Concubine Zhen finally realized what her son had done.
When she got up early this morning and was reciting sutras, she felt frightened that something bad was going to happen, and sure enough...
Looking at the compassionate face of the Bodhisattva, Concubine Zhen remained silent for a long time.
Her son is stupid, but he shouldn't be this stupid.
There must be something wrong here.
It couldn't have been her son who did this.
If he really wanted to do such a big thing, he would definitely tell her.
But not a word.
Even though it is very inconvenient for mother and son now, since he can raise an army, why can't he send a letter?
Although the servants in her palace had been replaced, how could he not know about the hidden people in other palaces? Was it the emperor himself who staged it, or was it someone else who did it and it was her son who was wrongly accused?
It must be like this.
Her son is actually not that brave.
The reason why he was so persistent in pursuing the Jia family was simply because the Jia family was a slave, but they were playing both sides. On the surface, they were the emperor's people, but in fact, they had already surrendered to the emperor.
If the Jia family had not been helping the emperor, her son would never have reached this point.
Moreover, given his temper, if he really attacks the various royal palaces, he will definitely attack the Jia family as well.
But the eunuch who just asked said that there was no fireworks in the direction of Ningrong Street.
This was not done by her son.
Her son must have been kidnapped.
Concubine Zhen tried hard to think, which of those smiling but treacherous princes would have such courage?
No no no, none of them did.
After thinking about it, Concubine Zhen felt that something was not right.
Now that the emperor has fallen, there is no one to back them up. Even if they are cunning and courageous, it would be unwise to take action at this moment.
There must be something she hasn't figured out.
Concubine Zhen knelt before the Bodhisattva and begged him to show her a clear way forward.
If her son’s crime was really proven, not only her son and her, but also the Zhen family would be finished.
"Buddha, I am willing to reduce my life span by ten years in exchange for the safety of my son and the Zhen family."
She wanted to say twenty years, but she felt she couldn't live that long.
She has more and more white hair.
Concubine Zhen sometimes regretted why she didn't die earlier.
If she died earlier, she wouldn't have to face all the troubles her son had. Perhaps the emperor would take better care of his son and the family for her sake.
As for the emperor..., when a person dies, all debts are settled, and he won't take the past too personally.
But she didn't die, why didn't she die? "Buddha, I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for the emperor to speak."
Now only the emperor can save her son and the Zhen family.
Concubine Zhen knocked her head heavily to the ground.
…
Ningguo Mansion, Tianxiang Tower! Jia She was staring at the direction of the palace. Jia's mother was old, so Shen Ning took her back to the inner room and accompanied her to drink tea and talk.
"Madam, someone is coming from the back street."
Wen Peilan's slightly anxious voice came from outside.
Shen Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he went to see with his rifle. Sure enough, a team wearing armor from the Five Cities Army just arrived at the back door and started knocking hard.
"Madam, someone is coming to the front gate as well."
As soon as Jia She turned around, Xiaodong also started shouting.
The ones coming in through the front door were obviously a large group, about sixty people, and together with the ones coming in through the back door, there were seventy people in total.
"Sister-in-law~"
Jia She used his clairvoyance to feel that those people were ferocious and vicious, and it was clear that they came with bad intentions.
"Don't worry about it. After you arrived, Jiao Da signaled that the gate was closed."
Huh? Jia She looked again and found that no one had opened the door on either side.
"Xiaodong, use the flag signal to tie up everyone at the back door."
If we want to attack, it depends on whether these people have the ability.
As soon as Shen Ning finished speaking, Xiaodong took the small green flag given by Jiao Da and started waving it.
However, the people in the back street obviously couldn't wait.
Wen Peilan saw two of them jump onto the back wall, trying to force their way in.
"How's things going at home?"
Grandmother Jia asked her son in a deep voice.
"Everything is fine at home!" Jia She also looked around with his clairvoyance, "The people coming...are only coming this way."
really!
Grandmother Jia didn't expect that she would guess correctly, "Don't open the door, it's either pirates or thieves."
Anyway, they are definitely not officers or soldiers.
It was with this in mind that she brought her eldest son here.
In the East Palace, Jia Zhen is not at home and Rong'er is still young.
"Madam, Rong Ge'er is there too."
Shen Ning looked anxiously towards the back street, and sure enough, Rong Ge'er and a dozen servants were carrying stones to raid their side.
"Send the flag signal, all those coming from the back street, break their legs and tie them up."
"Mrs!"
Xiaobei, who was signaling with flags, said, "The people below replied that they were not soldiers, and their swords were Japanese swords."
Shen Ning: “…”
Who is so stupid as to use the Japanese at this time?
Even if you want to use the Japanese, you should hide what you need to hide! "Kill eight people and leave two alive."
Xiaobei quickly signaled with a flag.
Taking advantage of the large number of people here, they quickly killed or tied up the dozen or so so-called "officers and soldiers" at the back door.
Shen Ning saw it and couldn't help but look towards the West Mansion.
Fortunately, everything in the West Mansion is just as fine as before.
She turned in the direction of the front yard where she could see it.
However, they did not expect that on both sides of Ningrong Street, there came a mixed team of troops from Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng Bingmasi.
The group of people who were knocking on the door saw something was wrong, and the leader walked towards the front team. Just as he was about to say something, his weapons were quickly disarmed.
Shen Ning saw that the man wanted to resist, but was hit hard several times.
"Is the leader the Chief Constable Lu from Shuntian Prefecture?"
Shen Ning felt like she had seen him before at Taixuan Temple, but now she was far away and couldn't see him clearly.
"It's Captain Lu."
Jia She was relieved, "Once he arrives, everything will be fine."
Dong Xiaoquan is still very capable.
It seems that he has already taken control of the Five Cities Army.
Before he could finish his words, two teams surrounded a group of people who were trying to break down the gate of Ningguo Mansion by force. After hacking a few of them to death, the others became obedient.
"Jiao Da is out."
Jia She watched Jiao Da leave and said, "He should have some friendship with Chief Constable Lu."
The old man is still very capable.
At this moment, he was a little envious of the fact that Dongfu had such an old man.
If his father had left him such a person, perhaps he would not have been bullied by his second brother like that during those years.
On Ningrong Street, seeing Jiao Da coming out right after finishing his work, Chief Constable Lu politely bowed and said, "Master Jiao, how are you?"
"Thank you, Chief Constable."
"Our Lord Dong said that Ningguo Mansion does not need to open the door to anyone who comes today."
