Chapter 739 The fragrance disappears and the jade dies
After sending Su Keguang and Xie Jun away, Jia Lian was about to go back to the camp to take a nap.
He has not rested since yesterday.
Of course, it's not just him, most people in the entire Tienwang Mountain may have stayed up for two days.
Suddenly, there was a strange movement from the north, and everyone spontaneously moved out of the way. They saw four powerful officers and soldiers carrying a stretcher heading straight to the palace, escorted by a large group of people.
But the noble third prince was actually holding on to the stretcher covered with white cloth, crying as he walked, looking very miserable.
"Father, father..."
Before arriving at the palace, he was stopped by the imperial guards. The third prince fell to the ground and cried, beating his chest and feet, as if he had died.
Such movement naturally attracted attention from all directions.
As people gathered, everyone quickly guessed the truth based on the situation and started talking about it.
The palace seemed to have received the message and asked the imperial guards to give way.
The third prince took the prince's body and entered the palace crying as before.
Then he soon saw Emperor Ning Kang.
At this time, Emperor Ning Kang no longer had the coldness and calmness he had before. He walked out of the dormitory and walked towards the third prince tremblingly.
His eyes easily fell on the shocking white cloth.
The third prince knelt down and walked away, grabbed Emperor Ningkang's trousers, and cried loudly: "Father, father! I am guilty. I have failed to honor my father's trust and failed to bring the eldest brother back. I deserve ten thousand crimes."
Death, I deserve death for my crime..."
The third prince's cry made Emperor Ning Kang tremble.
He waved away the third prince, came to the stretcher, and suddenly opened the white cloth covering it.
The familiar but extremely pale face he saw made his heart stop for a moment.
He just looked down at his first child blankly, and for the first time, he had a question in his heart, whether he was right or wrong to initiate the forced abortion this time.
After being thrown aside by Emperor Ningkang, the third prince looked at Emperor Ningkang's stooped back with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
But there was no hesitation on his face. He knelt and crawled to Emperor Ningkang's side again, kowtowed his head in front of the prince's body, and said sadly: "I am arresting you on the order of my father... No, I am going to invite him back."
, finally found him at the foot of the mountain in the north
My son originally wanted to persuade him to come back and admit his mistakes to his father. After all, he is the prince and his eldest son. No matter how big a mistake he made, you, my father, will definitely choose to forgive him.
However, the eldest brother didn't listen to me at all. He led hundreds of elite soldiers under his command to break through the defense line at the foot of the mountain and headed northeast...
Based on the direction in which the elder brother fled, the son guessed that he wanted to go to Shanhaiguan to mobilize troops. After all, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan was once the elder brother's riding and archery teacher, and he and the elder brother were masters and apprentices.
My son did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led his troops to pursue..."
The third prince told the story of the cause and effect of the incident with tears and runny noses.
"Finally, in a mountain forest more than ten miles away from the foot of the mountain, I caught up with the eldest brother's men again.
The son still wanted to persuade him to turn back in time, but the eldest brother did not come out to answer at all. The guards under his command were all brave and fearless... Wow, how could the son know at that time that the eldest brother was trying to
To escape the pursuit of his son, he even disguised himself as a bodyguard and dispersed to break out of the encirclement.
When I finally caught up with the man wearing the yellow robe of the elder brother, I was shocked to find that he was not the elder brother at all.
Before I could think of what to do next, my subordinates flew over to report, saying..."
"They said that the eldest emperor brother accidentally hit a stray arrow and died...
Father, father, my son is at fault. I know my sin. Please punish me for my sins. Even if I have to pay for my elder brother’s life, I will have no regrets..."
The third prince's voice was so loud that at least the ministers and generals around him heard it.
Except for a few individuals, most people did not feel much emotion about the death of the prince.
First of all, because of the prince's previous operations, their originally good situation fell into a disadvantageous situation.
Until now, Emperor Ning Kang and his capable ministers and generals are still worrying about how to deal with the next trouble.
Therefore, in their eyes, the prince is not a qualified prince.
Secondly, based on the third prince's cry, they also roughly understood the cause of the prince's death.
All I can say is that if you do it yourself, you will not survive.
Stupid is okay.
Obviously, as the prince of Emperor Ningkang, he should stand firmly on Emperor Ningkang's side and advance and retreat with his father.
But he chose another path and lost. Who is to blame?
You have already failed, but you don't admit it, and you still want to mobilize troops outside the customs? Is this because not enough people have died and their troubles are not big enough?
However, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the third prince, which shows his incompetence.
It is clear that as long as he kneels down and admits his mistake to Emperor Ningkang at this time, it is possible to obtain Emperor Ningkang's forgiveness and at least save his life.
I just took the wrong approach, who is to blame?
This shows ignorance.
In comparison, the third prince, who is usually gentle and elegant, has the legacy of the sages, but can be entrusted with important tasks at critical moments, is obviously more suitable to be the crown prince of this country.
Yes, now that the prince is dead, then...
Many smart people, looking at the third prince crying and repenting in front of the prince's body, already had other ideas in mind.
Emperor Ning Kang slowly stood up.
He also heard the third prince's words and explanations.
No one knows how much he heard, but Emperor Ning Kang looked at the third prince with cold eyes.
That condescending and indifferent look made the third prince, who quietly raised his head and looked at each other, feel fear and quickly lowered his head.
Emperor Ningkang asked: "Where is the Tianqu?"
"Vice Commander Tian was extremely brave. During the pursuit, he took the lead, but was counterattacked by the eldest brother's men and died..."
Tian Qu is also dead?
This time, the reaction of others seemed to be even greater than the previous death of the prince.
After all, because of the prince's crime, even if he were alive, he would only be an abandoned prince and not worth mentioning at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Tian Qu, one of the main cadres who succeeded in forcing the palace this time, was about to be promoted to a noble position, but who knew that he would overturn the car at the last moment?
.
Alas, he is probably also eager to make meritorious deeds.
At this moment, a woman's howl came from outside.
Everyone looked back and saw a slender woman with disheveled hair pushing her way in under the obstruction of the imperial guards.
Upon closer inspection, she turned out to be the royal princess.
The prince's palace had already been controlled when Emperor Ningkang launched a massive counterattack, and relevant party members were also arrested and imprisoned.
However, the Crown Princess is the Crown Princess after all, and no one dares to disrespect her for the time being, but she cannot leave the palace.
I don't know who leaked the news. When she heard about the death of the prince, she immediately rushed over regardless of her life. The guards did not dare to stop her for fear of hurting her life.
Seeing Emperor Ningkang wave his hand, the guards retreated and let the princess come over.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
The freed Crown Princess staggered over and lay down on the Prince's body, wailing incessantly.
Unlike the third prince's before, perhaps the woman's cry was more contagious.
Everyone present could feel the Crown Princess's despair and heartache from her cries.
Such cries can make those who hear them sad and those who see them shed tears.
"Emperor's sister-in-law..."
The third prince knelt and took two steps forward, as if he wanted to say something.
"Don't touch me!!"
The Crown Princess screamed and slapped the third prince on the face with her backhand. The third prince was stunned and forgot what she originally wanted to say.
The Crown Princess didn't care about his reaction at all, she just held the Crown Prince's head and muttered to herself as if she had lost her mind.
The third prince's expression changed, and finally he regained his composure, and said with a remorseful expression: "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. It was I who killed the eldest brother. If you want to beat me, please beat me more. I deserve this."
of……"
The Crown Princess paid no attention and just cried silently.
Emperor Ning Kang frowned slightly, gave his left and right eyes, and ordered them to take the Crown Princess away.
The guards took the order and stepped forward, but before they could reach out their hands, they suddenly saw the Crown Princess pulling out a dagger from her sleeve, standing up and facing them: "Get out of here, get out of here..."
The soldiers in the pro-military camp were shocked and quickly stepped forward to protect Emperor Ning Kang.
The third prince who was closest was even more panicked. Fortunately, he found that the Crown Princess did not seem to have any intention of targeting her, so he quickly stepped aside.
"Murders, you are all murderers!"
Surrounded by the guards, the Crown Princess laughed crazily. The dagger she held was pointed at the guards, and at the third prince and Emperor Ningkang, as if judging their crimes.
But she ended up doing nothing.
Her two major spiritual pillars are her grandfather and her prince husband.
All dead now.
Her sky has collapsed and she has no courage to live.
She held up the dagger and suddenly rushed in one direction, and the guards in that direction quickly put away their daggers to avoid it.
But behind them were the walls and pillars, so they watched helplessly as the noble concubine died in front of them.
The disappearance of fragrance and the death of jade make all men's hearts tremble.
No one spoke, and no one seemed to know how to react.
Emperor Ningkang stood there and looked at the princess's body for a long time. Then he turned around, and without taking two steps, he felt the sky and the earth darken, and his body collapsed to the ground.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty……"
"Quickly send the message to the imperial physician!!"
…
The third prince was secretly happy.
Although when he took action to deal with the prince, all the pros and cons flashed through his mind.
But when he actually faced Emperor Ning Kang's scrutiny, no one knew how scared he was.
In particular, the way Emperor Ning Kang looked at him at the end made him wonder if Emperor Ning Kang had already suspected him.
He is very proud.
After being patient for so many years, he finally got the opportunity to cut off the prince once and for all. Of course, he couldn't be timid and let the tiger go back to the mountain just because he was worried about Emperor Ningkang's reaction, leaving behind troubles in the future!
He and the prince have been fighting openly and covertly for many years, and he knows very well how deep the prince's foundation is.
That's all the father's favoritism!
Therefore, as long as the prince is still alive, he will pose a great threat to him.
Who calls the prince the eldest son?
Also because of so many years of fighting, the hatred between each other has long been accumulated, and he has long wished to get rid of the prince and then get rid of him.
This was such a God-given opportunity that the prince completely lost the trust of Emperor Ning Kang. If he didn't seize it, he would feel that he was not worthy of that position.
As an emperor, how can you be merciful?
So what if the father has doubts?
In the current situation, besides him, does the father have any other choice?
Ministers, is there any other choice?
If a prince, the only choice for crown prince, was to be deposed just because he made a huge mistake, Emperor Ning Kang would be so cruel that the government and the opposition would not agree.
So, if I say I'm afraid, it's not that scary.
Even at the moment when he took action, he felt that his heart was boiling. At that time, when he saw the prince kneeling on the ground, he was cheering in his heart.
For the first time in so many years, he felt that location, so close to him.
Especially when Emperor Ning Kang died on the ground just now.
He knew, however, that in order to prepare for this incident, his good father had not slept properly for at least three days.
No matter how secretly happy he was in his heart, on the surface, the third prince still carried Emperor Ningkang to his bedroom with all his heart and soul, and personally consulted the doctor for advice.
When he heard the imperial doctor say that he was just overworked and lacked rest, and that he would be fine after just sleeping, he secretly felt pity.
He personally received the ministers who came to visit him. Those who could come to the palace at this time were either high enough or close to Emperor Ningkang. Naturally, he had to win over them.
Most of these people were also very polite to him and had a vague intention of seeking refuge, which made him feel even better.
Naturally, Jia Lian also came. After confirming that Emperor Ningkang was fine, the third prince personally sent him off.
He cupped his hands with the third prince, turned around and left.
The third prince suddenly said: "Brother Wang, please stay."
Jia Lian frowned and looked back to the left and right to make sure that the third prince was calling him.
The third prince had already walked up to him with a smile and said: "General Jia is the bloodline left by the emperor's grandfather. In terms of teeth, I am one year younger than General Jia, so I should call myself brother king."
Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Your Highness is lying. I should not accept this word. Your Highness should not mention it again in the future. Otherwise, if your Majesty hears it, I will be punished and die."
Jia Lian did not deny anything. Even though everyone knew that the Supreme Emperor was under house arrest by Emperor Ning Kang, he was still the Supreme Emperor, and not everyone was qualified to question what he said.
The third prince looked at Jia Lian in front of him with a smile. Yes, he was a respectful and sensible person.
He smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that General Jia is my father's most beloved general. My father's success this time is all thanks to the general's help. My father likes the general so much. I believe that even if he knows, he will not
You'll be blamed."
Jia Lian shook his head and had no interest in discussing this topic.
Seeing this, the third prince also stopped trying to flirt with each other and lowered his voice: "I heard that the prince had tried to woo the general several times, but he was declined by the general?"
"Those who do good things misinformation, and those who claim to have nothing to do with it."
"I just heard that the general's current situation seems not to be good."
The third prince looked at Jia Lian jokingly.
Jia Lian's complexion changed slightly, and he asked clearly without meaning what he said: "Who told this, how come I don't know it myself?"
"hehe."
The third prince laughed, his face suddenly straightened, and he said to Jia Lian seriously: "I will give the promise that the prince made to the general at the beginning, and I will give it to him if he can't give it.
Even if my father cannot give it to the general, I am still willing to give it to him. For example, I am very much looking forward to the day when I can legitimately call the general "Brother Wang".
The general is a smart man and should understand what I mean."
With that said, the third prince patted Jia Lian on the shoulder and turned around with a smile. The laughter was not loud, but there was endless pride and publicity.
Jia Lian stood still, then walked out of the palace, got on his BMW and left.
