Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 512
It was getting dark, and it was time to light the lamps, but Hongli sat alone in the dark study room in a daze, with all kinds of things in his mind, and his mood was extremely bad. He was not reconciled, how could he Willing to be willing - when the emperor was assassinated, it should have been a good time for him, the elder brother of the supervisor, to take power. This is also a rule set by the ancestral system. It made Hongli's teeth itch with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Now that Shengjia is safe, Hongli doesn't really care if he can hold power for a short time. What he cares about is the attitude of the important ministers. Obviously, among the group of important ministers, he is not regarded as a big brother at all. As the heir to the throne, if something happened to Shengjia, there would be no possibility of relying on these important ministers to push him to the throne, even Prince Yong's old fox would be unreliable at all!
what to do?Hongli knew what to do, but he didn't dare, at least he didn't dare when Yinzuo was still alive, but knowing that he didn't have the courage, Hongli still couldn't help thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt , I have been sitting here for a whole day, not to mention dinner, even lunch, and my eyes are full of frustration.

"Master, Prince Yong's son is here." Just as Hongli was engrossed in his thoughts, the butler hurried to the door of the study and reported loudly.

Hiroshi?What is he here for?Hongli was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Please go to the hall first, I will change my clothes and go."

"Big brother, little brother has good news and bad news. I don't know which one does big brother want to hear first?" After a routine of pleasantries, Hongshi said with a smile.

"Oh?" Hongli raised his brows, looked at Hongshi suspiciously, then laughed and said, "Brother doesn't care, just listen to it. Brother Shi has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Hongshi nodded, put away his smile, and said with a serious face: "Brother, the good news is that the second master is already returning to Beijing; he is on his way, and the bad news is that the sage is dying."

Hongli was startled suddenly, the teacup he was holding fell to the ground with a bang, smashed to pieces, the whole person jumped up, pointed at Hongshi, and said tremblingly: "What? You are talking nonsense!"

Hongshi looked indifferent, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Brother, please be safe and don't be impatient, younger brother dares to make fun of such a big matter, hey, the news of younger brother is absolutely reliable, the Holy Majesty has not woken up for six days, two days ago three days ago Brother has already arrived at the Yangzhou Palace, only stayed for half a day, then left the palace in a hurry, secretly headed for the capital, and will arrive in Beijing within two days."

"No, no, Huang Ama will be fine, this, this, this must be a rumor!" As a son of man, when Hongli heard that something happened to his father, his heart ached unbearably, and he couldn't help crying Tears came, murmuring in his mouth.

Hongshi waited for a while, and when Hongli calmed down, he interrupted suddenly: "Brother, Second Master is coming back soon."

"Hongyang, hum!" Hongli gritted his teeth as if he had suddenly woken up, and snorted coldly through the gaps between his teeth. He glanced at Hongshi again, his face suddenly relaxed, and he burst out laughing Said: "Thank you for the news, Brother Shi, hehe, I must have something to explain from Uncle Si, Brother Shi might as well just say it."

Hongshi obviously didn't expect Hongli to return to normal so quickly, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother, my father and son just heard the news, no, I will come to report to Brother Ming immediately , My royal father really didn’t say anything, everything is decided by the elder brother, and my father and son should obey the orders of the elder brother.”

"Oh." Hongli said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "Then please ask brother Shi to go back and thank fourth uncle on behalf of brother. Brother has nothing to arrange, and everything is left to fate. Huang Amaji people have their own way , I don’t need to worry too much about waiting, seeing off the guests.”

Hongshi didn't expect that Hongli would bring tea to see off the guests without saying anything. Can smile and leave...

"Well, what does Hongli kid want to do?" In the study of Prince Yong's Mansion, Yun Zhen frowned involuntarily after listening to Hongshi's situation report, and waved Hongshi back, looking at the smiling Tang Guoming, puzzled asked.

"It's nothing, it's just crossing the river and tearing down the bridge." Tang Guoming smiled and said: "Brother has long been wary of the prince, and now that the news has been obtained, for the elder brother, the prince is of little use value , he wants to act in secret, so he naturally doesn't want the prince to intervene in it."

"Oh? What Mr. Tang means is..." Yun Zhen thought for a while, then nodded if he realized something, and said with a sideways glance at Tang Guoming.

"Didn't the prince see it? Why do you need Tang to say anything more." Tang Guoming said lightly: "If the second elder brother is gone, the edict of inheriting the throne will be a waste of paper. At that time, with With the appeal of a group of courtiers, how could the Minister of Military Aircraft prevent Big Brother from taking the position? Hehe, this is Big Brother's wishful thinking."

"You bastard!" Yun Zhen scolded with a smile, and pondered for a while: "How will this boy do it? How should I deal with this king, and I ask you to make one or two plans for my king's good life."

Tang Guoming closed his eyes, and after careful consideration, he said: "The key to the elder brother's action is to get rid of the second elder brother. As long as the second elder brother dies, he will kill another brother to silence him, then the big thing will be settled." , no matter how much other people doubt, they can't stop the elder brother from ascending to the throne of God. After the second elder brother, he got enough evidence to expose the fact that the eldest elder brother murdered the second elder brother, which ruined the eldest brother's reputation. After that, the key to the matter lies in the queen mother. As long as the prince can control the queen mother, then Everything is under control, as long as the queen mother's order is issued, the big deal will be half done. As for the side of the nine-door admiral's yamen and the capital military area, as long as our people move, the two ends will inevitably fall into chaos, and we will be too busy to take care of ourselves. As soon as the imperial decree comes out, the Great Treasure, the world will surely."

Tang Guoming's plan sounds simple, but there are so many tricks in it, and Yun Zhen couldn't figure it all out for a while. After a while, he frowned and said, "If Hongli child wants to go down Black hand, where will you choose to do it?"

Tang Guoming smiled and said: "If you look at the chance of success, it is natural that you will strike at the moment when the second elder brother returns to his home, but first of all, it is in the city, even if you can succeed, the assassin may not be able to do it. If you can retreat completely, as long as someone misses, the eldest brother will jump into the Yellow River to wash away; secondly, the queen mother is escaping the summer in Changchun Garden at this time, if the second elder brother came here according to the will, I think he will not enter the city, One must have entered the Changchun Garden directly, so there are not many places where Eldest Brother can choose to attack, if the prediction is not bad, Qinglongya is the best choice for Eldest Brother to attack."

"Qinglongya?" Yun Zhen murmured softly a few times, then said with a sneer suddenly: "Okay, then Qinglongya, let's leave other things to Mr. to make more plans."

Qinglong Cliff, located at the junction of Beijing and Tianjin, is just a not-so-famous small cliff, not more than ten feet high, standing abruptly beside the Beijing-Tianjin Avenue. Turned a corner.This place leans against the cliff on one side and faces the water on the other, so it can be regarded as a dangerous place.Ever since the news of Emperor Yuanzhuo's assassination spread, a temporary checkpoint was set up at the foot of the Qinglong Cliff to inspect the merchants. No one dared to complain about this, so they could only honestly let the soldiers inspect the goods they carried. Fortunately, although the officers and soldiers were unsmiling, they did not make any blackmail, and most merchants would not be delayed because of dissatisfied with time.

On May 22, the tenth year of Yuanzhuo, the Qinglong checkpoint was established. On May 25, the checkpoint was ordered to be cancelled. However, on May 26, the checkpoint was restored strangely, but it was no longer the capital guarding the checkpoint. The officers and soldiers of the military area were replaced by government servants in Shuntian Mansion, the procedures remained the same, and the merchants who came and went did not notice the change, and no one would express even the slightest doubt about it.

At 27:[-] noon on May [-]th, the tenth year of Yuanzhuo, the sky was clear, the sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun scorched the earth. There were few pedestrians on the Beijing-Tianjin Avenue. Even the most impatient merchants did not want to hurry Yes, of course there are exceptions. A caravan consisting of four or five carriages, under the banner of "Liu Ji", braved the scorching heat and galloped all the way towards Qinglong Cliff.

"Stop! Shuntian Mansion was ordered to inspect the remnants of Bailian." A sturdy yamen servant rushed out of the temporary sentry box with a thick chain and stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the caravan.

"My lord, you guys belong to the 'Liu Ji' company. How can you be the remnants of Bailian? You guys are in a hurry. If you miss the job, you will be in big trouble." A person who looked like a showcase The man stopped the convoy, walked forward with a smile, and while showing his identity, he stuffed a large roll of banknotes into the hand of the yamen servant.

The Liuji firm is the property of the Liu family represented by Liu Chang'e. Not to mention that Liu Chang'e's family is all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but the relationship between the Liu family and the current emperor is not something that ordinary officials dare to offend. He didn't go to pick up the money handed over, and said with a cold face: "Check!" In an instant, more than twenty burly men dressed in government uniforms unceremoniously launched a search for the several carriages. Business-like.

"Officer, why are you doing this? My master..." The shopkeeper obviously didn't give up, and kept chattering behind the leading yamen servant, but it was almost like playing the piano to a cow, and the yamen servant didn't listen at all. , just walking and observing all kinds of people on the carriage, suddenly, the yamen servant's pupils suddenly shrank, and he made a gesture quietly, and the yamen servants who were searching immediately gathered around and surrounded a carriage.

"The remnants of Bailian are here, kill them all!" The leader of the yamen servant suddenly pointed at a tall young man in the carriage who looked like a waiter, and roared loudly...
