The Eunuch's Hand Covers the Sky

Chapter 116

The news of the emperor's death spread quickly in the capital like a flood.White cloths were hung in every house and courtyard, and the whole city was covered with snow.Shops are also closed.A strange emotion settled in the capital.That's not grief, it's fear, fear of the unknown.

On the desolate streets, Wang Zhen and his confidants rode tall horses towards the second prince's mansion.When Wang Zhen, who was covered in smoke and dust, notified the guards and walked into the room, the anxious second prince hurriedly grabbed Wang Zhen and pulled him into the room, and said nervously: "You are finally here! Just wait You are alone." Wang Zhen looked up, but saw seven or eight people in the room.

There was Liu Zhisheng and his confidant eunuchs.Eunuch Zheng, Eunuch Hai, and Eunuch Li.There are also a few warriors dressed in fancy clothes, but with tough faces and quite hands and feet.Presumably he is the second prince's confidant general.Seeing this, Wang Zhen immediately cupped his fists and bowed and said, "Your Highness, now that the Emperor has passed away, I wonder what His Highness's plan is? Although my subordinates are not smart enough and only have a few fists and kicks, they are willing to do their best for His Highness." .”

The second prince nodded, looked at his confidants around, and said with some fear: "Father died, and was actually assassinated! The other party is a master, and his martial arts have reached the level of an immortal. Kill all the people! The Empress Dowager doubts me very much. But I have never done it, and I don’t have such a master.” After finishing speaking, regardless of the horror of the surrounding confidantes, she looked at Wang Zhen and asked: “Wang Zhen, where are you? His martial arts are the highest, tell me, who in the Jianghu can achieve this level?" As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhisheng and others around him stared at Wang Zhen, with some weird expressions on their faces.

Wang Zhen was startled, maybe the second prince doubted me.It doesn't make sense, I asked Roddy to pretend that night.You wouldn't be right to doubt me.Then he frowned and thought, and replied with a sigh: "His Royal Highness, there is indeed a man, but he has been dead for hundreds of years. This man is proficient in martial arts, and his name is Dugu Qiubai. But things are different, and such a hero has only been born in 500 years." Just one." The excitement that the second prince had just woke up dissipated immediately.Somewhat aggrieved, he said: "What are you talking about when people are dead. The situation is extremely dangerous now. The empress dowager named the eldest prince to inherit the throne. The next step is probably to wait for the actions of our princes."

As soon as the words fell, a tall and thick-browed man next to him hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, you don't need to worry so much! 48 Wei Erlang outside the capital is waiting for His Highness's orders! When the time comes, you can go straight to the capital, and everything will be fine?" This reckless man He is the leader of the Beijing army, but he is a great official.On the other side, Liu Zhisheng shook his head, and suggested in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is clearly a temptation from the Empress Dowager. Your Highness should not act impulsively. You should calm down and take a good look at the situation. That's the right way."

"What! You old eunuch are saying that this general is wrong! Have you ever fought a war!" "That is, Commander Qi is right, when the 48 guards come to the city, no conspiracy will be used." " Hmph, a warrior who only knows how to fight, how can he understand the sinister heart? You people deserve to die on the battlefield." "Hey, you are begging for a fight, right? You have the ability to beat two hands!" These warriors don't understand the situation, they just talk nonsense."

The second prince's complexion was extremely bad, and he couldn't bear these tit-for-tat quarrels, and shouted angrily: "Okay! Shut up!" Your confidantes immediately stopped shouting, and looked at the second prince nervously.Seeing the second prince panting heavily, he couldn't help thinking of what she said last night when he doted on Du Juan'er: "Your Highness is the Son of Heaven. Naturally, there are all gods to bless you. How can you be afraid of those trash in the capital? As a woman in the Jianghu, I also know that if a man dares to act bravely, he is a real hero, and His Highness is a real hero."

Thinking of this, the second prince was full of pride, and said confidently: "Where is the commander of Qi!" Muzhi!" "The last general takes orders!" Commander Qi was full of excitement, he glanced disdainfully at the stunned Liu Zhisheng, and secretly glanced at Wang Zhen who was calm.He was going to leave with his next generals.

Then Liu Zhisheng couldn't understand why the second prince, who was always quite cautious, was so reckless now?Now the situation is unstable, not only the eldest prince and the second prince peeped at his throne, maybe the other adult princes would also make moves.Everyone is looking forward to who will be the first to deal with this bloody bad luck.Now that the second prince has come like this, isn't he on the cusp of the storm?
Liu Zhisheng, who was extremely anxious in his heart, hurriedly spoke to dissuade him: "Your Highness, you can't do this! The situation is not clear now, and everyone is waiting for that person to come out as the first bird. Your Highness's move..." Who knew that Liu Zhisheng hadn't finished speaking yet, the two The prince frowned and shouted: "Little Liu, you don't need to say much, I have already made up my mind on this matter." "But..." "Shut up! Are you the prince or I am the prince! I say I will do it! Get you to talk nonsense?" Liu Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, pursed his mouth and nodded helplessly, and stepped aside.His complexion looked very bad.

The second prince felt a little sorry.After all, Liu Zhisheng watched him grow up.It hurts to say that.But the thought of admitting his mistakes as a dignified prince is really unacceptable.I had no choice but to shake my hand angrily and shouted: "It's gone, it's all gone. It's settled like this." After saying that, he walked away alone, leaving only Wang Zhen and others to watch.

Du Juan is embroidering the brocade in her hand.The appearance is indescribably sad.Suddenly a wind came, and a figure in red flashed in the room.Du Juaner was not surprised, looked at the figure and said, "I've done everything you want me to say. Can you let me meet Cheng'er?" This person is undoubtedly Wang Zhen.It turned out that Du Juan was blowing pillow wind through Dugucheng's threat from that little kid.The second prince really had a brain short circuit.Issued a seemingly stupid order.

Indeed, when the 48 guards approached the city, all forces trembled.Nothing to worry about.The key is whether the 48 guards are their own, and whether they will obey their orders.Apparently the Second Prince trusted others too easily.I don't know that the commander of Qi has long been the eldest prince's person.No!It should be said that Wang Shitu placed the person.

"Don't worry, that boy Dugu Cheng eats and sleeps well. He is white and fat. He seems to have forgotten about the Shanjian faction that day. He has been clamoring for meat all day long! Hahahahaha" "Then what am I When can I see him?" Du Juan confronted him tit for tat, without retreating in the slightest. "What's the rush? The situation in the capital is unclear now. When it settles down, I will naturally let you see it."

Wang Zhen was a little impatient, and wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. "Then if the capital is still unstable, wouldn't I miss Cheng'er? You..." "Shut up! There's no place for you to speak. I'll see you if I say I see you, and see you if I don't see you. No matter how much you keep pestering me , I'll let that kid meet his father!" "You...well, I'll do whatever you say..." "That's right."
