The captain who led the team died like this, and the other palace guards were at a loss. At this time, Zhu Yingjie spoke, "I have found out that this person participated in the rebellion and wanted to harm the king. It should be
Kill. Don’t you know you were involved in this matter now?”
If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother without words?
After finding a random reason, the captain died justly. The other guards were naturally not stupid and knew what the prince wanted to do. Ordinarily, they should fulfill their duties with the salary given by the king.
That's right. But now that the king's condition has worsened and he will soon pass away, they have to think about the future.
The so-called future means that the eldest prince will become a king. Facing the future masters, how can you make them toughen up?
The generals looked at each other, and then at the captain who had fallen to the ground without breathing, and made a decision immediately. All the guards knelt down on the ground and said in unison: "We are not involved in the captain's action.
Regarding the matter, we are willing to treat it with the eldest prince’s leadership and obey orders.”
"Haha, very good. You will all be meritorious people in the future, and I will definitely reward you based on your merits. Now let's go and see our father first." Zhu Yingjie was naturally very happy when everyone saw this.
He burst out laughing.
Deep in the palace, the second prince Zhu Wenjie was still waiting in front of the bed of King Zhu Dangdao of Western Shu.
Zhu Dangdao has been sleeping all day, and according to past rules, he should wake up soon. As a son of man, Zhu Wenjie must of course fulfill his filial piety in front of the bed. Not only that, he also has to report some things to his father, such as
Talk about how to deal with the problems of Daqian and foreign races, etc.
Unlike his brother Zhu Yingjie, Zhu Wenjie advocated not making any concessions to the foreigners. They were always strong men, and if they were beaten to death by themselves, their flesh would rot in the pot.
Zhu Wenjie even suggested that he could consider forming an alliance with Daqian and Dahua and borrow their power to fight back against the foreigners. When necessary, they could become vassals, but the Zhu family must still be the lords of Western Shu.
Regarding this matter, the two brothers had different opinions, which made it difficult for Zhu Dangdao to make a decision as a father. After this period of persuasion, his thoughts were somewhat inclined to Zhu Wenjie, for no other reason than that he did not want to die.
After that, Wu Yan went to meet his ancestors.
If it weren't for his poor health and limited energy, Zhu Dangdao would have already issued a royal edict and made a decision. Today, Zhu Wenjie had already written the royal edict in accordance with what he had said in the chat with his father yesterday, and only waited for his father to make a decision.
The king wakes up and recognizes it.
Zhu Wenjie had no intention of seizing the throne, but it was because his brother had very different opinions from him. Especially when he knew that the king's brother would bow to the alien race, he could only use other methods, such as persuading his father.
Zhu Wenjie was secretly happy when he thought that after his father woke up, approved the royal decree, and stamped the seal, the future of the Western Shu Army would no longer be confused. But at this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Next, an older eunuch came to him and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, the second prince, something bad has happened. The eldest prince has led people to the inner palace."
"What?" The news was like a bolt from the blue, and Zhu Wenjie was stunned on the spot. He never imagined that Brother Wang would be so courageous and dare to lead troops into the palace without orders.
"Second Prince, Second Prince." Seeing Zhu Wenjie stunned, the eunuch shouted twice worriedly.
"Oh." Zhu Wenjie, who had come back to his senses, seemed to have thought of something else, "Where are the guards in the palace? Why didn't they stop them?"
"I stopped you. But those who stopped me were killed, and the rest also surrendered. Second Prince, things are not going well, you should leave quickly." The eunuch reminded kindly.
"Go? Where to go, you gossiping eunuch." Before Zhu Wenjie made the final decision, the voice of the eldest prince Zhu Yingjie came from outside the door.
When Shenluo arrived, Wang Ke and several other Tang Sect disciples appeared with him.
Zhu Yingjie came so quickly, and was very surprised to see Zhu Wenjie's eyes. But considering that the two were brothers after all, he stepped forward and said: "Brother Wang, if you don't want to do anything with this eunuch, let him go."
Bar."
"Let him go, let him go and spread the news and lead the army to deal with Brother Wang? Come and kill him." Zhu Yingjie said very rudely.
"Shua~"
The sword flashed, and the old eunuch who had just reported the news fell to the ground with a knife in his chest. Zhu Wenjie's eyes were shocked. He could not have imagined that Brother Wang would be so bold. The eunuch belonged to his father, and he did not report it.
He killed as soon as he was told to kill, and he still committed the murder in the palace. Wasn't he afraid that his father would wake up and punish him?
"You..." Pointing at Zhu Yingjie, Zhu Wenjie wanted to scold him a few times.
"What? You don't even want to call Brother Wang? It seems that you really want to kill your brother and seize the throne. Even so, don't blame Brother Wang for being cruel. Come on, arrest..."
Zhu Yingjie meant to arrest Zhu Wenjie and interrogate him slowly. Then everyone would know that it was the other party who was unkind. But before he could finish what he said, Wang Ke had already made a move, and it was the same one who killed the old eunuch.
The bloody knife stabbed into Zhu Wenjie's chest again, causing a cry of pain.
"ah!"
At this moment, not only Zhu Wenjie screamed, but Zhu Yingjie also screamed. He didn't expect that his men would kill his brother. This was really not his intention.
The person who drew the sword was Wang Ke. He had long been ordered by Tang Tianhe to kill Zhu Wenjie. If he didn't do this, wouldn't his previous lies be exposed?
Only dead people cannot confront.
Wang Ke was originally from Tang Tianhe, so of course he had to obey his orders. The second prince of Xishu fell to his death on the ground in confusion. The truth will never be revealed.
When the second prince died, Zhu Yingjie's face showed an unbearable look at first, but then he slowly regained his composure. Once this person died, no one could threaten him to inherit the throne, so he could finally feel at ease.
"Come here, please clean up this place. My father should wake up soon." Zhu Yingjie waved his hand, and someone came up to clean up everything. Then he headed towards the inner hall. He wanted to wait for his father to wake up and let him know.
He personally said that the rumor lies with him.
In the inner hall, all the eunuchs and maids were trembling with fear. They were nervous and careful. If one of them even killed his own brother, wouldn't the lives of his servants be ignored even more?
This also made everyone keep silent, for fear of doing something that would displease His Highness the First Prince, and they would be stained with blood on the spot.
Time passed like this little by little, and in the silence of everyone, Zhu Dangdao finally woke up from his bed. When he opened his eyes, what he saw was his eldest son Zhu Yingjie sitting opposite him.
"Huh?" When he saw his son when he opened his eyes, Zhu Dangdao was still a little strange. This was the inner palace. Even his son could not enter at will without his permission. He needed to nod his permission after waking up before the eunuch could pass the message.
The son enters.
This is a rule that cannot be changed, even if it is a big deal. But today everything seems to have changed.
"Father, you are finally awake." Zhu Yingjie asked with a very concerned look.
"Uh. Why are you here?" Zhu Dangdao, who was still a little confused, asked instinctively, and then he glanced to the side. When he saw the eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to raise their heads, he became even more confused.
I felt something bad.
"What? Shouldn't the son be here? In a common people's home, when the father is sick, shouldn't the son be waiting in front of him?" Zhu Yingjie said without answering. In the past, he was
I dare not speak to my father in such a tone.
Sensing something wrong in Zhu Yingjie's tone, Zhu Dangdao had a keen premonition that something was wrong. He ignored him at the moment and said to the kneeling eunuch: "Where is the second prince? Isn't he supposed to be waiting for me in the afternoon?"
?Send him over."
In Zhu Dangdao's view, with both sons present, either party would have concerns. In this way, his status would be transcendent.
It's just that this trick that worked well in the past didn't work today. Zhu Yingjie shook his head and said: "Father, you'd better save some energy. Your little son was careless today and fell down."
,died."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this answer, Zhu Dangdao's eyebrows knitted together instantly, and then a frightening look came out of his eyes: "You killed him?"
After being the king of Xishu for so many years, Zhu Dangdao had long had a sense of self-reliance and dignity. This anger, when his eyes focused on Zhu Yingjie, really shocked him.
But once he considered that his current father was already a toothless tiger, Zhu Yingjie calmed down and said with a smile: "Father, didn't I say that? My second brother accidentally fell to death."
No one would believe that a living person, or a prince who was carefully protected by everyone, would be thrown to death. No one would believe it. Zhu Dangdao had been the king for many years, how could he believe it so easily?
At that moment, he said with a cold expression: "Okay, those words are just for deceiving children. There is no need to hide it in front of the father. Tell me, what do you want?"
On the surface, he pretended to be calm, but in fact, Zhu Dangdao was very sad in his heart.
All this time, he has not publicly announced who will pass on the throne, but has allowed his two sons to fight openly and secretly. This not only helps him grasp the situation, but more importantly, he also hopes to use this to exercise his son's abilities.
One day, when he goes to pass the ball, he will find someone with stronger abilities, and he can rest assured.
Of course, when passing the throne to one person, he would also arrange for another son. But he did not expect that before he passed the throne, his sons had already started killing each other, and now they were threatening his own safety.
How not to be afraid, how not to be sad.
