Volume Two: The Wind and Cloud in Kyoto Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Eight: The Three Princes Hanging on the Beam(1/2)
Kyoto City.
The third prince, Huang Ye, was originally grounded.
After being banned, the third prince could only stay in his own courtyard every day, waiting for an opportunity for drastic changes.
Sure enough, before long, news came from the court that his eldest brother, the most popular heir to the throne in the capital, Huang Zhang!
Wanted!
When he heard the news, Huang Ye jumped up from his chair.
He knew, he guessed, that his eldest brother had no idea what kind of behemoth he was facing!
Hum! Are you trying to knock yourself down? You don’t even have to look at how much you weigh!
The butler on the side also knew that this major event had happened in the capital recently, and immediately congratulated Huang Ye: "Congratulations to the third prince, congratulations to the third prince. Now the eldest prince is being hunted. When he is caught in Kyoto, this position..."
"Hmph! Do you think the boss can return to Kyoto alive?"
Upon hearing Huang Ye's words, the housekeeper reacted immediately.
"Yes, it will be troublesome for the eldest prince to come back alive. He definitely can't keep him. Then do you want me to..."
Huang Ye raised his hand to stop him and said: "No, whoever messed with Big Brother this time will naturally deal with him, there is no need for us at all!"
"Your Highness, I would like to ask, who brought the eldest prince down this time? His connections in Kyoto are so strong, how can someone else bring him down?"
"Ha ha!"
Hearing the butler's words, Huang Ye suddenly laughed!
"You said the eldest brother has a strong relationship? He is an exiled prince, and he gained the temporary favor of his father through the death of his second brother. He has a far-fetched relationship!"
"Ah...this..."
Huang Ye's words made the housekeeper stunned. He thought that the current eldest prince was a powerful presence in the capital. Unexpectedly, according to His Highness the Third Prince, the eldest prince was not worth mentioning at all!
"The real decision-makers in Beijing are the four major aristocratic families. Which aristocratic family do you think the eldest brother has established a good relationship with?"
The steward thought for a while, the four major families in Kyoto were Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen.
Speaking of which, the eldest prince really has no attachment to any family.
"Isn't it possible that the Wen family where the Prime Minister belongs is from the lineage of the eldest prince?"
"Haha! The Wen family? Wen Dao? What is the Wen family? Do you think Wen Dao is the prime minister and it is enough to have his support? Childish!"
Being scolded by Huang Ye, the housekeeper felt a little embarrassed!
Although he has done many things for the third prince, he does not know the intricate relationships in Kyoto!
Huang Ye seemed to have heard the news that Huang Zhang had been brought down. He felt refreshed and began to talk more.
If this had happened before, he would never have said so much to a housekeeper.
But today is an exception because he is in a surprisingly good mood!
"Let me tell you this, even though the Chao Zhongwen family and the Liang family are fighting fiercely, the Wen family has no ability to fight with the Liang family. It's all Liang Qian who gave in to him!"
This is the first time the housekeeper has heard such explosive content.
Generally speaking, normal people would think that the Prime Minister has greater power, but who would have thought that this news could be heard from the third prince!
"Then has His Highness received the support of the four major families?"
Hearing the butler's question, Huang Ye was suddenly stunned.
"That's not true! But the Taifu is on my side, and it will only be a matter of time before we have a good relationship with the four major families in the future!"
Saying that, the housekeeper nodded hurriedly!
"Now that the incident with the eldest prince has happened, does your highness want to do something to prepare for the next succession? I heard that after hearing about the eldest prince, your majesty fell ill. It seems that he will not be able to survive for long.
Got it!"
Upon hearing the news that the emperor was about to die, Huang Ye's face showed no sadness, but a faint smile.
It seems that the dead person has nothing to do with him!
"It's good that the old guy is dead. I didn't expect that my eldest brother has helped me so much! As soon as the old guy dies, I will succeed to the throne immediately. Huh! Everyone who stands against me will have to die!"
Speaking of this, Huang Ye gritted his teeth and looked very unhappy!
The housekeeper too, when he heard what Huang Ye said, he immediately said: "The first person to deal with is Xuan Ye! If this guy hadn't handed over the people from the city defense camp to the eldest prince, you wouldn't have been locked up! And Prime Minister Wen
Dao, I heard some time ago that Wen Dao wanted to marry his daughter to the eldest prince."
"Humph!" Huang Ye smiled coldly!
Anyway, he had already thought about the person he wanted to liquidate. Don't think that he didn't know who was behind Huang Zhang! He had been holding back for this period of time, just waiting for this opportunity.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
While the master and servant were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of applause beside them!
The two of them were awakened by the sound of applause and looked at the person who made the sound!
I saw a swordsman in green leaning in the corridor.
"Well said!"
Upon hearing the swordsman's compliment, the master and servant immediately became nervous.
You must know that there are imperial guards guarding the outside, but the man in front of them can sneak past the guards of the guards and appear here. It seems that he is definitely not weak!
"Who are you?" Huang Ye asked.
The swordsman in green sneered and began to introduce himself!
"It's easy to say, remember my name, Swift Wind Sword - Feng Bu Zhan!"
"Rapid Wind Sword?"
Generally speaking, those who can have a prefix of honorific in front of their name are first-rate masters!
"Are you a first-class expert?" Huang Ye was stunned for a moment.
Feng BuZhan spread his hands, "What? Isn't this obvious enough?"
"What are you doing here?"
Feng BuZhan smiled.
"Of course I came to kill you, what? Could it be that I came here to play with you?"
When he heard that Feng Buzan wanted to kill someone, the housekeeper immediately reacted and ran away.
It can be seen that her reaction is really fast.
However, no matter how fast the reaction is, it is not as fast as Feng BuZhan!
Before the housekeeper could take two steps, Feng Buzan pinched the back of his neck. Before he could speak, his neck was broken.
At this moment, Huang Ye was frightened by Feng BuZhan's methods. He could kill someone casually. Even if he wanted to run away, he probably wouldn't be able to escape!
"You...who sent you here? I...I am the third prince and the future emperor of Su country. As long as you don't kill me, I can give you everything you want!"
Hearing Huang Ye's panicked words, Feng Buzan smiled.
"What? You still think you can be the emperor? Haha, stop dreaming! You don't have that life!"
Saying that, Feng BuZhan slowly approached Huang Ye.
Seeing the demon Feng BuZhan approaching him step by step, Huang Ye was frightened and fainted!
After all, he was still a young man. Although he had some tricks and scheming, his performance was so poor in the face of absolute power and death that his true colors were immediately revealed.
Seeing Huang Ye fainting directly in front of him, Feng Buzan shook his head with contempt on his face.
Just this prince? Still want to be emperor? It’s just a dream!
Later, Feng BuZhan took Huang Ye into the house, pulled out a piece of white silk, and disguised Huang Ye as if he had hanged himself.
Huang Ye, who was unconscious at first, was suddenly hung up and woke up immediately.
However, he never imagined that when he woke up, he would still be dead!
He struggled desperately, but he was helpless, his legs were in the air, no matter how hard he kicked, it was of no avail!
Feng BuZhan on the side just looked at him like this until Huang Ye died completely!
Then, he took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table. When he went out, he picked up the body of the housekeeper who had been crushed to death by him, and disappeared into the Third Prince's Mansion.
Half an hour after Feng BuZhan left, Cao Jie came to the Third Prince's Mansion with the imperial edict from the palace.
But when he entered and was about to read out His Majesty's edict, all he saw was the figure of the third prince hanging from the beam!
Poor, the dignified prince actually hanged himself to death!
When Cao Jie brought the letter of the third prince's suicide back to the palace, Taiwei Liang Qian and several important officials in the court stopped the news.
According to Liang Qian, if the news of the third prince's suicide was told to His Majesty now, I'm afraid His Majesty wouldn't be able to survive this juncture.
This matter must be hidden and cannot be known to His Majesty!
