Chapter six hundred and eighty first Weizhou events
Another piece of news shocked the capital of God and even the whole world.
The second son of Emperor Liang was ordered to die by His Majesty the Emperor in his own residence after being forced into the palace that night by the ministers. That night, many courtiers were found to be colluding with others and had been lurking in the court for a long time, and the second prince was one of them.
In the past dynasties, it was not uncommon for father and son to turn against each other in the royal family, but it was still rare for His Majesty the Emperor to decide the life or death of his own son overnight with thunderous means.
In fact, after that night, many influential courtiers in the court were detained, which aroused public resentment in many places in the city. However, as the news spread, all voices disappeared.
His Majesty the Emperor even killed his own son who was involved with foreign affairs, so how could the others escape?
However, as people were still digesting the previous news, another decree came out.
"The second prince colluded with other people and refused to enter the royal mausoleum after his death. He was deprived of all titles and rewards during his lifetime and was removed from the royal family genealogy."
When this decree came out, everyone fell silent.
Everyone feels His Majesty the Emperor's determination and His Majesty's will.
…
…
There was a deserted scene in front of the second prince's residence.
A beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes held up two snow-white lanterns with bamboo poles and hung them in front of the gate of the mansion. The gate was broken that night and has not been repaired yet. As for the guards and guards in the mansion, after an investigation by Dali Temple, they found that they had nothing to do with colluding with Fang Wai.
A group of people had been released a long time ago, but after leaving the prison of Dali Temple, that group quickly packed up their belongings and left the divine capital, where they dared to stay in the prince's mansion.
The second prince did not have a concubine, nor did he have any concubines, only a few concubines. However, these concubines had already fled the mansion, leaving only the only woman in front of him. Not only did he not leave, but she stayed there
A memorial tablet was erected in the mansion.
Not far away, a carriage stopped at the corner of the street, and coughs could be heard from time to time in the carriage.
A middle-aged man with an ordinary face came to the carriage and said softly: "In the past few days, there have been no courtiers coming to express condolences at His Highness's residence."
The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing the eldest prince's somewhat sickly face. He glanced into the distance with a sad look in his eyes, "This is the human heart."
"The second brother is really a little crazy. My father can allow him to fight for the throne, but how can he be allowed to collude with Fang Wai?"
The eldest prince sighed. When they said goodbye in front of the Imperial City Palace that night, he vaguely felt that his younger brother might not survive that night, but there was nothing he could do.
"But since it's a brother-in-law relationship, why should the older brother send his younger brother off on his last journey?"
The eldest prince sighed and prepared to walk out of the carriage and go to the second prince's house to express his condolences.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you need to think twice about this matter. Your Majesty punishes His Highness so severely, I'm afraid he is trying to scare the monkeys. If Your Highness appears rashly at this moment, I'm afraid it will make His Majesty unhappy..."
The middle-aged man frowned and was trying to persuade the eldest prince to give up his thoughts.
The eldest prince scolded: "What are you talking about? Gu and Lao Er are brothers from the same mother. What's the problem with burning incense?"
Hearing the eldest prince's rebuke, the middle-aged man lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty made a mistake, please forgive me."
The eldest prince walked out of the carriage, looked at the shabby residence of the second prince with only two white lanterns hanging, and sighed softly: "The surname is Chen, it is not good to be a brother, and it is not good to be a father and son."
At the same time, a carriage stopped in the distance. The third prince got out of the carriage with a complicated expression, looked at the mansion not far away, and walked slowly over.
In a family, with four children of this generation, the relationship between Her Royal Highness the Princess and her three brothers will be closer, at least on the surface, but these brothers appear to be much colder.
It's just that no matter how estranged you are, your younger brother will still be your younger brother, and your older brother will still be your elder brother. It's difficult to change things like this.
Burning incense is a reasonable thing.

Chen Chao returned to the academy and passed by the lake. When a group of students saw the young warrior whose identity was now revealed, their eyes were complicated. The specific story of that night has not yet been revealed. The students only knew that Chen Chao in front of them was the heir of Prince Yiwen.
, that night he personally killed his brother.
Other than that, not many details are known to them.
Although it has been confirmed that the deposed emperor did not die when the palace was burned down, he just escaped from Fangwai and returned from dormant for many years. With the help of Fangwai's power, he wanted to take back the world. He was not allowed to be in Daliang, but after all, he was the biological brother of Chen Chao.
Those scholars who read the teachings of sages and sages every day found it difficult to accept it for a while.
Therefore, when I look at Chen Chao again, my emotions are more complicated than before, which is understandable.
Chen Chao ignored these academy students and went straight back to the small courtyard by the south lake.
Xie Nandu saw Chen Chao and asked straight to the point: "Did you go to kill the second prince that night?"
That night after the deposed emperor died and everything disappeared, Chen Chao was the first to disappear. No one knew where he went. After that, news came out that the second prince had been sentenced to death. Many people would not compare these two incidents.
The things were connected together, but for Xie Nandu, after much deliberation, she still felt that Chen Chao should have gone to kill the second prince that night.
Chen Chao rubbed his cheek and said, "I can't hide it from you. You guessed it right."
In fact, he had no intention of hiding it from the woman in front of him. Although this matter would be an earth-shattering event once it became known to the world, Chen Chao had no worries after telling Xie Nandu.
"He is also one of the chess pieces. What he wants is to reveal your identity and force His Majesty to kill you. But in fact, he is just a chess piece. In this game, he is the most obvious link.
, somewhat clever, but in the end, he is just trying to be smart.”
Xie Nandu said: "You can kill the deposed emperor with one knife, but he is your majesty's biological son after all. Aren't you worried before you do it?"
Chen Chao said: "If I don't kill him, he will always think about killing me. I have twelve hours a day and have many things to do. I can't keep an eye on him all the time, so I have no choice but to kill him."
"
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao and said nothing.
"Okay, between us, I killed him just because he wanted to kill me, and he also tried hard to do something to kill me."
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said: "If you kill too many demons, you won't be able to change. Either you die or I live."
Xie Nandu said: "The deposed emperor really did this to you earlier?"
Chen Chao nodded, that happened when he was very young. He couldn't remember it at first, but after seeing the girl in the coffin, he remembered everything.
From the first moment I opened my eyes and saw the world, all my memories were extremely clear.
But whether it was the effect of the white mist or the girl, Chen Chao was not sure.
But thinking of the girl, Chen Chao really wanted to know where she was now. When she revived at the ruins, the girl ate the elixir he found, and then helped him fight off the infatuated Master Zhang Lu.
No trace, no trace left.
Maybe in Yingzhou?
Chen Chao thought silently, after all, there were rumors that an immortal came to the world in that place.
Aren't people like the girl in white what ordinary people think of as immortals?
Seeing that Chen Chao was lost in thought, Xie Nandu didn't say much, just waiting for him to come back to his senses.
After Chen Chao came back to his senses, he muttered to himself: "Speaking of that Taoist master, I have to go to Chixin Temple to see him and see my sword."
Xie Nandu asked: "Now that I am the commander of Zuowei, can I still go around?"
Chen Chao grinned and said, "I have asked Weng Quan to serve as the deputy commander of the left guard. He will be in charge of the Yamen affairs."
Xie Nandu frowned and said, "Do you have this power?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Please give me your permission."
"It's not that I don't want to do things, it's just that I've wasted so much time. I also want to calm down and practice."
Chen Chao rubbed his head and sighed: "??????????????? Maybe Yu Xiyi has become a swordsman now, but I don't know if his knot in his heart has been resolved.
Untie."
…
…
Master Zhanglu of Chixinguan is in seclusion in name, but several old masters with senior enough seniority know that this great master of Taoism is banned. When he returned from the ruins of Chongming Sect, this great master of Taoism never left again.
After passing, the mountain is a place of Qingxiu.
Disciples in the temple are not allowed to go there.
It's just that he was practicing Qing Dynasty, but Master Zhanglu didn't go into retreat, and the internal and external news about Chixin Guan didn't reach here at all.
Sitting under an old pine tree that is hundreds of years old, making tea with real pine needles, looking calmly at the sea of clouds in front of me.
Not far in front of him, there lay a bored green cow.
"Master, you have such a good temper. You have been locked up here for several years and you are still not angry. If I were me, I would have rushed out to fight with that temple master. Even if I die, I can't hold it in like this."
The green cow uttered human words, and it looked a bit like it was complaining.
It was a strange beast that Master Zhanglu encountered in that ruins. Later, Master Zhanglu retreated. He originally thought that he would never see this green bull again, but who would have thought that in the end it found Chixin Temple.
】
Master Zhanglu said calmly: "Where do you come from with all these words? You are not short of spiritual herbs and elixirs. What are you worried about?"
Qingniu sighed and said: "Zhenzhen, it's not a problem to just eat and wait for death all day long. For a person like you, Zhenzhen, why should everyone come to worship? As a disciple of Zhenzhen, I
It's not the same as being proud..."
Master Zhanglu held the tea cup and said with a smile: "Let the world see me accepting a cow as a disciple?"
Qingniu looked serious, "Zhenren, don't I have wisdom? Why can't I be Zhenren's disciple?"
Master Zhanglu remained silent.
Qingniu looked at Master Zhanglu and said, "Master, would you like to think about it again?"
"What does a cow want to do so much?"
Qingniu wailed: "Master, the avenue shouldn't be so small!"
Master Zhanglu said calmly: "Eat your grass."
Whether the great road is small or not, whether the world is big or not, it is hard to say.
Master Zhang Lu stretched out his hand to crush the teacup in his hand and said calmly: "Brother, the days ahead are long."
