In order to avoid suspicion from the old emperor, you pretended to be lame for fifteen years and sat in a wheelchair for fifteen years?
The old emperor called the Jinyiwei and whispered: "Act according to circumstances."
What does it mean to act according to circumstances? It means that when Xu Yanmiao goes to spread the principle of turning a female chicken into a male, you Jinyiwei who "accidentally" find out about it should report it to me, the emperor!
Then, I will find two men and two women, lock them up in two manors respectively, and prepare enough food for a year. See if the men can turn into women, and if the women can turn into men.
If it is feasible, then in the future, when there is a need to fight a war or open up wasteland, let all women turn into men; when there is a need to increase the population, most of the men will be turned into women, leaving only a small number of men to be responsible for the seeds.
If you want people, you get people; if you want food, you get food. Isn't this perfect! Moreover, in the future, there will be no need to worry about more boys than girls, or more girls than boys. Many families will no longer have to drown their baby girls!
The old emperor pondered this scene, and it seemed as if lightning had struck his mind, and the country had a bright future.
Fortunately, Yanmiao didn't know about this, otherwise he would have been in a dark state.
The future is bright! The chromosomes of humans and chickens are different!
But he didn't know it now, so he could continue to watch the excitement happily.
[Oh, this Taoist priest is still trying to manipulate public opinion to force the old emperor! ]
[The old emperor is a person who refuses to leave, retreats, and especially likes to argue with others. Not to mention the prince, even if you force him to deal with other people, he can push things back when he is stubborn. ]
The old emperor sighed lightly.
【But, didn't he know that his master, Prince Fu, had fallen? 】
【That's right, after all, the old emperor didn't announce it to the world. He hadn't been back to Prince Fu's mansion for more than a year in order to prepare for the "phenomenon" of the hen turning into a male. 】
Ministers: Oh no!
Old emperor: Oh no!
A fish that slipped through the net!
The Taoist priest wanted to use the atmosphere to stretch his stiff arms, but as soon as he moved, many eyes looked at him, surprised and teasing. The Taoist priest's body stiffened and felt even stiffer.
... What happened?
Ever since the court revealed that the prince was a demon, every reaction of the people in the court made the Taoist priest feel uneasy.
*
How did he get the news out?
Of course, it was with the omnipotent Jinyiwei.
After the Taoist priest felt sad for a while, he saw a Jinyiwei walking quickly from outside the team, and the other party glanced at him sideways.
"..."
Noticing this look, the Taoist priest's eyelids twitched silently.
Then, he heard the emperor's question, which was unclear whether he was happy or angry: "What's the matter?"
The Jinyiwei glanced in his direction again, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling.
The premonition of uncertainty became heavier.
Then he heard the Jinyiwei say: "Your Majesty, I have found out that this person is a remnant of Prince Fu! Targeting the prince, it is to enter the East Palace."
It doesn't matter how they found out, anyway, the Jinyiwei is omnipotent and has its own information channels.
The Taoist priest tensed up all of a sudden: "Hu——"
They must be deceiving him!
[Oh no! As expected, it was uncovered by the Imperial Guard. Prince Fu was courting death. He knew that his father's Imperial Guard was extremely powerful, but he still dared to do something. 】
Old Emperor: No, no, my Imperial Guard's means of collecting information are not that magical.
In fact, he has always been curious about where Xu Yanmiao got the impression that the Imperial Guard is omnipotent.
【It turns out that this Taoist priest raises snakes for Prince Fu! 】
【Hiss——What a big snake, I was scared to death... Hey, he is also the third uncle of my chef? 】
【It won't involve my chef, right? No, right? Probably not, right? 】
When it comes to people he knows, Xu Yanmiao can no longer keep calm.
【Except for such a deceiving relative, he has always been an honest and good citizen! Let me see... He didn't get involved in this matter, he just thought that Third Uncle was not doing well, so he came to him for help - No, I have to find a way to ask Lian Hang later if he will be implicated.
Lian Hang was stunned when he was mentioned, and quickly glanced at Xu Yanmiao, thinking: Even if he was implicated before, now with Xu Lang's voice, it can't be implicated to the chef's family.
He sighed with emotion: "Power..."
This is the power in Xu Lang's hands.
*
As Xu Yanmiao's thoughts came out one after another, Jinyiwei roughly understood the identity of the Taoist priest and said, "Your Majesty, this man's original name is Yang Chao, and he is a snake trainer in Xinxing County, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Lingxi Road, Guangdong Province..."
Just one sentence made the Taoist priest who called himself Changqingzi clench his knuckles and his heart beat wildly.
Jinyiwei... are so well-informed? !
He has only appeared for two days, and he has already found out his original name, hometown, and that his master is Prince Fu?
Then, he heard that Jinyiwei revealed more and more things, and every one of them was the truth.
The Taoist priest's forehead was sweating, and his eyes suddenly flashed with ruthlessness -
since he couldn't escape, he had to drag more people into the water!
While walking through the streets, training snakes and getting information for Prince Fu, he unexpectedly discovered something, but he didn't have time to tell his master: "Your Majesty, do you know that Prince Jin and Prince Jibei are in cahoots and have conspired with him to rebel?"
The sky seemed to darken all of a sudden.
"What——"
Prince Jin?
He is your Majesty's most beloved brother. A family member that your Majesty values.
Even the place "Jin" was given to him!
Feeling that a storm was coming, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief and looked quietly at Emperor Tiantong.
But the emperor looked at Xu Yanmiao, with a hint of hope.
Some ministers suddenly realized that in the face of such explosive news, Xu Yanmiao would definitely reveal something.
What the Taoist said might not be true!
[Ah, this...]
Then they saw an embarrassed look on Xu Yanmiao's face.
[Prince Jin is finally exposed.]
"Hiss——"
The ministers' pupils trembled.
You really participated in the rebellion!
What do you want?
The emperor also wanted to know what his brother wanted.
Is the title of Prince Jin not good enough?
Hasn't he been tolerant enough to his brother all these years?
The emperor sat alone on the throne in silence for a long time, with a small piece of gray hair under the seat, as if it was the beard that its owner had pulled out in anger.
"Call..." He paused, his voice hoarse: "Prince Jin."
*
"Why did you suddenly remember to call me, my brother?"
When Prince Jin pushed his wheelchair here, he didn't know what happened, and looked like he had no ambitions: "I have never been involved in things, and you know that I may not be able to help with political affairs."
I don't know if it was true or just a cover-up, but a smile appeared on the half of his face that was not covered by the mask: "Before I came out, Yong'er and Hua'er were sleeping. I wanted to go back before they woke up, otherwise they would cry again."
——Princess Jin was pregnant with twins.
The old emperor squinted at him for a while, then suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand, and the Jinyi Guards beside him handed him a stick.
Prince Jin: "?"
Then he saw his brother holding a stick and walking towards him in big strides.
"Brother!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Ah——"
"Wait a moment, I..."
"Ah——"
The sticks hit the flesh.
Xu Lang was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see this, so he turned his head away with "reluctance".
The old emperor's furious voice rang out.
"You little bastard, why don't you covet the throne? And you're working with the King of Jibei? Are you stupid or is he? After killing me, how could he bear not to ascend the throne?"
"With your stupidity, can you escape the King of Jibei's calculations?"
"Or can your lame legs outrun the King of Jibei?"
"Idiot! Idiot!"
"I'd rather die of stupidity!"
"Before my mother died, she asked me to take good care of you. No king in history has lived as comfortably as you! I didn't even give you a son in the Jin Dynasty! This is how you repay me, you bastard!"
"Besides, the King of Jibei has land and private soldiers! The waste Prince Fu, who is worse than a pig or a dog, is my son, and he has blood and righteousness! What do you have! You have nothing! You are over 30 years old and still not stable, and you are imitating others to rebel!"
The old emperor
became more and more angry, and he started beating him. The King of Jin gritted his teeth and endured it at the beginning, but he was beaten to tears, and in the end his cries of pain became stuttering, and the stick still rained down on him.
But the old emperor had fought in wars and knew how to hit people to death, so the places where the stick fell would only cause King Jin to break bones at most.
- After all, it would be meaningless to beat him to death now.
[Wow! ] Xu Yanmiao sighed: [The style is still the same as before, and the force of beating the prince to a cripple is not much stronger than this. Lian Hang
stood beside Xu Lang, and a familiar feeling suddenly came to his mind.
He was about to cry.
Xu Lang! At such a serious moment, can you please not add fuel to the fire! You mention the prince at this time? ? ?
*
As soon as Xu Yanmo mentioned the prince, the old emperor remembered that the purpose of the King of Jibei was to anger his own son to death!
His expression suddenly became even colder.
"Sima Chen! Are you planning to kill your nephew with your own hands!"
[Oh! Not true.]
[The King of Jibei thought he was stupid and didn't tell him about this, fearing that he would mess things up.]
The old emperor: "..."
Tsk.
But the old emperor was not happy either.
A fool who had been preparing for a rebellion for thirty years and was captured in less than half a day scolded his brother for being a fool. What should he be happy about?
——Instead, he became even more frustrated.
*
After the sticks stopped, King Jin finally struggled to take a breath, gasping for air and wondering, "Nephew? What nephew?" He suddenly realized, looking stunned, "King Jibei attacked my eldest nephew? When did it happen? Wasn't he planning to start a rebellion?"
But his brother didn't smile, instead he looked at him with a colder look, picked up the stick and hit him hard on the wound. In an instant, the flesh was torn even more, and blood splashed everywhere.
Prince Jin covered the wound, and the sweat on his face seemed to reflect blood in an instant: "Royal brother... I don't know if you believe it, I didn't get too involved in the affairs of Prince Jinbei... Later, my princess became pregnant, and I was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so I immediately cut off contact with Prince Jinbei. Now I really just want to be a leisurely prince, and live a good life with my princess behind closed doors."
[Attempted murder is not murder? ]
Xu Yanmiao sighed in his heart.
[If the Prince Jinbei succeeded in the rebellion, could he still save the lives of the old emperor's family? ]
[If Prince Jin realized this and still did this, he would be relying on his own conjecture and would not care about the life and death of the emperor's family. ]
[If he didn't realize this, he would be doing things without considering the consequences and would just do it without thinking. ]
[Either way is scary. The old emperor was really unlucky, he ran into an ungrateful person.
The old emperor glanced at Xu Yanmiao.
He couldn't say how good his mood was, but when he heard Xu Yanmiao was on his side, his expression was indeed much more relaxed.
"Hmph..."
Brat, I'm so tolerant of you.
When he turned to look at King Jin, the anger on his face rose again.
He tolerated this! But the result was that he tolerated an ungrateful person!
"Sima Chen! Tell me, what have I done to you that made you feel resentful?"
Xu Yanmiao's voice was the first to ring.
[Five points blame the King of Jibei, five points blame himself.]
[Growing up among the common people, he was found and brought into the palace when he was eleven years old. He had no idea about the royal family. Many of the stories he read described the royal family as ruthless. He also felt that his surname was Sima and the old emperor's surname was Gao, so they were not the same surname. He had to be more careful and cautious, especially afraid of making mistakes.]
The old emperor clenched his fists and felt that the stick began to itch again.
[When he first entered the palace, the old emperor seemed to be busy and had no time to take care of this younger brother. The King
of Jibei had not yet been to his fiefdom, but he often asked people to bring books to the palace for him to read, some storybooks, some history books...] [Tsk tsk tsk, a carefully selected history book. The younger brother killed his elder brother, who was the emperor, with an axe in his bedroom and forcibly ascended the throne.]
[Also, his mother was partial to him and secretly ordered his elder brother to pass the throne to his younger brother, causing his elder brother to resent him.]
[Oh, and his mother favored the youngest son, and his elder brother was jealous. After his mother died, he targeted his younger brother in various ways.]
[Thousands of years of history, he wanted to see everything that fits his own situation. He became a frightened bird, always feeling that the old emperor was smiling with a knife hidden in his heart, and would smash the cup as a signal to let five hundred swordsmen chop him to pieces. ]
[I don’t know whether I should say this is paranoia. ]
[Hey, so showing him these history books was to stir up his ambition! Unexpectedly, it would scare him to death. ]
[It’s so funny, the King of Jinbei thought it was okay, but he never thought about getting back at him. ]
The old emperor: “…”
This time, even if the King of Jinbei had been beheaded, he had to dig him out and whip his corpse!
And when the King of Jin answered his question and explained the causes and consequences of his wild thoughts, which were no different from what Xu Yanmiao said, the old emperor kicked him immediately.
"Idiot! Idiot! History books also say that the emperor doted on his children and indulged his brothers. Why don’t you believe this!"
[That’s really impossible to believe. 】
【Children are fine, but as for brothers... maybe only one out of a hundred emperors is sincere to his brothers. It is more likely that they are sincere to their brothers. 】
The old emperor's body fell backwards, and then returned to its original position firmly.
Bow your head... bow your head quickly...
The ministers bowed their heads silently, staring at the tips of their shoes. They almost knelt down and begged the little ancestor not to stab His Majesty in the heart again.
Prince Jin spoke hesitantly: "Royal brother, I..."
"Shut up." The old emperor had a blank expression: "I don't want to listen to you now."
Then, he raised his foot and kicked his annoying brother's unconscious legs again.
【Don't kick, don't kick, the princess is a miracle doctor, and she may be able to cure his legs, but if she really kicks out other problems, it's hard to say. 】
【Oh, that's right, they have rebelled, and they may be beheaded. The old emperor doesn't care about his legs. 】
【Hey, come to think of it, hasn't the princess tried to treat Prince Jin's legs in such a long time? That shouldn't be the case, they are quite affectionate. Prince Jin's legs are not broken bones or anything, it is said that he was poisoned after defending against an assassination attempt by the old emperor and became unable to walk. 】
【She seems to be very good at detoxification after receiving the true teachings of the medical immortal. 】
Although it is wrong, the attention of the ministers made her aware of it.
"Xiao Bai Ze thinks too simply."
"Yeah, after so many years, I'm afraid his legs have been damaged for a long time. Even if he is the descendant of a divine doctor, he can't bring back the dead tree, right?" "
And maybe he has seen it privately, but it didn't work."
The discussion was very quiet, and it was the ministers in the back row who were muttering. The ministers in the front row didn't feel much.
For example, Prime Minister Dou just had his hands in his pockets, looking calm and composed. What
's so great about such a small matter? If it's really cured, it would be worth being shocked, right? [Huh, that's strange. The princess wanted to show Prince Jin's leg, but was rejected by Prince Jin? He said it's impossible to cure it, so he won't try?] The Minister of War didn't sleep well last night. He was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting. He couldn't sleep in the front, so he could only find something to try to cheer himself up. Hearing this, he yawned imperceptibly. Xu Yanmiao is still too naive. There's nothing hard to think about. He just doesn't want his hopes to be shattered again. It's human nature. [Let me see...] [Wait a minute? ? ? ?] [Are you pretending to have a lame leg? ! ] [In order not to arouse the suspicion of the old emperor, you pretended to have a lame leg for fifteen years and sat in a wheelchair for fifteen years? ! ] [And just in case, he never stood up at home. ] [Fuck! Even his retainers and confidants didn't know that their master could actually walk! ] The Minister of War was shocked and looked at the King of Jin who was sitting in a wheelchair with his legs kicked. The other party lowered his head and was apologizing to His Majesty. His legs were clearly conscious, but he could not move even after being kicked. The Minister of War: "..." I'm sorry, it's not that Xiao Baize is naive, it's that I'm too naive. Your ancestors are - amazing! What kind of brain is this! The ministers gasped slightly. Who can pretend to be unable to walk for fifteen years! The King of Jin looked gloomy. He found that his brother's expression was very distorted - could it be that his murderous intentions were stronger? No, he had to save himself! He is no longer alone! "Bang!" King Jin threw himself out of the wheelchair and fell to the ground. Then, he struggled to move forward with his two arms. "Royal brother!" "Royal brother!" "I know I was wrong!" "I beg you to show mercy, considering that I have cut off all ties with King Jinbei long ago, please spare my death!"
The old emperor: "..."
He looked at this eccentric with an expressionless face, and was convinced again: his brother was really mentally ill. He dared to mention the King of Jibei at this time. It would be better to mention their mother, crying and saying that she was ashamed of her brother, and voluntarily gave up the throne and guarded her mother's spirit for the rest of her life.
Did he really want to get so angry about this thing?
"..."
Forget it, the Jin Palace will not be destroyed.
