Chapter 455 No one can be trusted
The King of Yingchuan was the title given to him by the emperor, that is, the fourth prince of the former emperor.
Yingchuan was once a county in the previous dynasty, but after the twists and turns, the county name of Yingchuan was long ago deposed. A county name established by overseas Chinese was used as the title of the fourth prince, which means that even if the fourth prince was named king, he would have been deposed long ago...
The King of Lu mentioned the death of King Yingchuan again, and in the manifesto accused the emperor of Liang Bo, and was jealous of the former emperor's love for the fourth prince, so he secretly poisoned him. After the death, he was charged with rebellion and even gave him an insulting title.
The death of King Guangyang was also because of King Yingchuan. The emperor suspected that King Guangyang had an affair with King Yingchuan, so he deliberately borrowed King Guangyang's troops and revealed the situation of the eight states' deployment of troops to the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Liao people.
This is why the emperor couldn't wait to kill Xiao Xingzong and Gao Yu, and he was also wary of the descendants of King Guangyang. He sent more than a dozen eyeliners to the Eight Prefectures in just half a year, and the emperor knew the every move of the Eight Prefectures.
King Lu saw everything, and lived his life tremblingly every day, even sent his son to the capital to be a proton, but it failed to get the emperor's peace of mind.
The emperor made up lies, used his old tricks again, and attacked his brothers again. The King of Lu was desperate and had to rebel.
During the manifesto, King Lu cried for King Yingchuan. After King Yingchuan died, blood bleeded in his seven orifices. When the coffin was buried, blood oozed out of the coffin. Everyone who carried the coffin could see that. His brother's heart was like a knife, but he dared not say a word. Now it is time to seek justice for his fourth brother.
The King of Lu also questioned the death of the late emperor, saying that before the late emperor passed away, the Imperial Hospital went to the palace to ask for a pulse, and clearly said that the late emperor's condition had improved, so why was the condition suddenly serious?
In order to take up the throne, the emperor killed his father, his brother, and harmed loyal and kind, he was long ago unwilling tolerate heaven and earth, so he had no descendants under him for so many years.
If this continues, the entire Daqi will be destroyed by his hands.
When the emperor heard this, his face turned pale. No wonder he asked Du Zheng to show him a manifesto, but Du Zheng kept delaying it. So that's it.
The emperor's eyes were full of murderous aura: "He was so crazy for the throne. When the late emperor passed away, there were people from Zhongguan and Zhongshuo. Could it be that all of us joined forces to harm the late emperor?"
"I want to catch him and take out his heart and see if it's black."
The officials in the hall hurriedly said, "Don't calm down."
The emperor said: "In addition to Qingzhou and Jingzhao Prefecture, where are there any officials in collusion with the King of Lu?"
Xie Changshen took out the document and said, "Wenzhou and Taizhou are in chaos, and there are no official documents in the rest of the country to Beijing."
Wenzhou and Taizhou are not far from Yuezhou. With Li You and others there, no major disaster will occur in the short term. What the emperor is more worried about is the further Guangnan West and East Road.
This war cannot be quelled earlier. Will King Qi take the opportunity to act?
At present, only by mobilizing troops immediately and taking down King Lu earlier can we stabilize the overall situation.
The emperor was thinking about it, and Du Zheng got a message from Zhongguan's mouth, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The emperor saw the clue and asked Du Zheng: "What's wrong?"
Du Zheng stepped forward and whispered: "The person who stayed in the palace wanted to save the prince of Lu, but was caught by the inspected imperial guards. The prince of Lu stabbed the queen and the prince of Qi. He saw that he could not escape and was also poisoned."
The emperor immediately stood up from the dragon throne and walked out of the hall quickly.
The ministers in the hall whispered when they saw this situation.
Du Zheng hurriedly ordered someone to protect the emperor, then walked back and said to Xie Changshen: "Xie Xiang, something happened in the palace, I will leave it to you first."
Xie Changshen responded, and turned around and looked at the officials. He saw a worried expression on everyone's faces. He sighed in his heart. What he had been worried about for years still happened.
I wonder if Daqi will continue to be in chaos and when will it return to peace?
...
Along the way, the emperor's silly appearance of the prince of Lu appeared in his mind. He always thought that the father and son of Lu were stupid and would not have many means behind his back.
It was him who was wrong, and the current situation was like slapping him hard.
He believed in King Lu, and was even led by King Lu to doubt Song Xian. If he really used troops to Song Xian, King Lu would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.
It would be fine if the King of Lu, but a young boy dared to play with him.
The emperor stepped into the yard and saw the prince of Lu who was lying on the ground. The prince of Lu curled up there with his stomach covering his mouth, his mouth full of blood.
Seeing the emperor, Prince Lu suddenly laughed. His fat face set off, his smile was still so stupid. He wanted to speak, and he spit out more blood with his mouth.
The emperor asked coldly: "Where did he get the poison?"
The Zhongguan stepped forward and said, "It should...it should be hidden in the boots. In the chaos, the servants didn't see clearly, but saw Prince Lu touching his boots and swallowing a pill into his stomach."
The emperor knew without thinking that King Lu would put his son's death on his head, and he would have another charge on the manifesto.
It was originally the emperor's plan to let the two princes enter the palace, but unexpectedly, before the prince entered the capital, the King of Lu had already made arrangements.
"Can't be saved?" the emperor looked at the imperial physician.
The imperial physician shook his head.
While speaking, the prince of Lu suddenly struggled violently for a few moments, and then there was no movement.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and his voice became a little colder: "Where is the prince and queen of Qi?"
"The Empress and the others are in the house," said the female official, "the imperial physician is treating it inside."
The female official's face was covered with tears, her hands were tightly clutched together, looking in a state of terror.
The emperor walked into the room, and the room was in a mess, with a few blood-stained veils on the ground.
Prince Qi stood beside him, his body trembling constantly, and he had not yet fully recovered.
"What the hell is going on?"
The emperor's voice sounded, and Prince Qi knelt down subconsciously, swallowed a few more times before speaking: "I am suffering from a cold yesterday. The Empress came to visit him. She happened to meet Prince Lu and the Prince of Lu came with someone. Prince Lu wanted to kill Prince... It was the Empress... The Empress rushed over to protect Prince..."
The Prince of Lu stabbed the back of Empress Hang.
When Prince Qi saw blood gushing out, Prince Lu wanted to draw his sword and stab him again, he was stopped by the palace servant and the official. Prince Qi was extremely grateful to Queen Xu. After he was confined, Queen Xu asked someone to send goods several times. He heard that he was sick and came to comfort him again, but now he is injured.
He secretly swore that he would repay the Queen's kindness if he had the chance in the future.
Empress Xu's tortured scream came from the inner room. After a short while, the imperial doctor came out to report: "The Queen's wound has been treated and needs careful care these days."
"Emperor," said the prince of King Qi, "It's all because of the empress. I ask that you stay and cook medicine for the empress and serve the empress."
The emperor looked at Prince Qi and did not speak for a long time. After King Lu rebelled, he found that no one around him could trust.
