The Eunuch's Hand Covers the Sky

Chapter 42
Early the next morning.There was an uproar!
King Ning's princess was killed last night!Guard Xu Ziqiang is missing.Ning Wang was so angry that he passed out.The current emperor is ill and goes to court.Everyone in the court is in danger.Even the dispute between the eldest prince and the second prince.Also put it down temporarily, don't think of any disputes.

In the morning court, the officials received the news.Everyone was talking solemnly.Waiting for the sick emperor to come to court.Not long after, the eldest prince followed a group of confidant officials into the court.Seeing this, all the officials came forward to pay their respects.Take the opportunity to explore the tone.One of them was quite handsome, but his expression was very nervous.Cranes are embroidered on the official robe.I think the grade is not low.Let alone three grades.The eldest prince obviously saw this person, walked over and asked in a low voice: "Shi Qian, do you know?" The young man called Shi Qian nodded solemnly.Seeing this, the eldest prince sighed, "It is a fact that the princess was killed. It is not a rumor. I think that after King Ning wakes up, there will be a big disturbance in the court." The official named Shi Qian looked around suspiciously, quietly Said: "The lower officials inquired. A piece of sheepskin was left at the scene where the princess was killed. There was writing on the paper. I wonder if His Highness the First Prince knows?" The First Prince nodded: "I have heard about this too. It's like Yuanmeng in the previous dynasty. But no one knows."

When Shi Qian heard this, his eyes widened.Just wanted to ask the exit.Immediately, he was waved by the First Prince.Stop talking.At the same time, he turned around and looked at his younger brother, the second prince Zhang Youshi, who also came with his confidant and had a gloomy face.Then he greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, why is the emperor here? It's been a long time." The second prince had to pretend to be a snake.Also said with respect and love on his face: "Why did my brother come so early? Didn't stay in Die'er's room. Why bother to come here?" There were thorns in the words.Cursing secretly that the eldest prince is greedy for beauty.Keeping that figure from the rivers and lakes in the mansion lost the dignity that the royal family should have.The officials behind the eldest prince glared.He was angry in his heart, but he couldn't let it out.He laughed loudly: "The emperor's younger brother is too. He hangs out with a bunch of eunuchs all day long. He's so old, he doesn't touch women. When the father found out, he thought that the emperor's younger brother liked Longyang Duanxiu." Longyang Duanxiu, Even gay.This sentence is poisonous enough.Also too eye-catching.But the second prince is not such a similar person.They also shared a smile, and when they were about to retort, Liu Zhisheng, who was standing in the hall, suddenly shouted loudly: "The emperor is here! All the officials are here!"

The two gangs immediately stopped fighting.Stand at both ends and wait for the emperor to arrive.blah blah.With the sound of incoherent footsteps.When the emperor came to the throne with a sick look on his face, he sat down.Immediately, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

The emperor's face was pale.After exhaling a few breaths, he said weakly: "Last night, King Ning's princess was assassinated. I think all the lovers know about it. No matter how you say it, King Ning is my uncle. The princess is also my cousin. Now my cousin Assassinated, leaving a note from Yuanmeng people. There are no words to express the arrogance." Speaking of this, Wei Wei paused for a while.Swept over the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Everyone is sitting upright. "Where is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army!" the voice fell.A burly man covered in iron armor and sweating all over his face trembled and knelt down in front of the hall tremblingly: "The criminal is here."

The emperor sighed: "Since the curfew is in place, the Royal Forest Army will patrol along the way. But there is an assassin who enters the palace to assassinate the princess. Are you guilty?" Said: "Pull it down, the imperial staff is fifty. Cut off the grade. Delegate to a commoner. You will not be allowed to re-enter the capital for life." "Thank you, thank you for your majesty's holy judgment." The commander wiped his sweat, and he was really relieved.Fortunately, His Majesty did not kill himself after thinking about decades of hard work.

The emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead casually, and said more and more weakly: "I asked someone to translate. The meaning of the Yuanmeng word is that the Great Yuan Dynasty deters all directions. The traitors and rebellious sons will be punished here. Hehe, the former Chao Yu Nian still doesn't give up. If he doesn't do something, he will really be sorry to his great grandfather." As soon as he said this, all the belligerent generals below came to prepare for the battle.He vowed to kill all the remnants of the previous dynasty before he would give up.The emperor suddenly smiled strangely and waved his hands.Said: "I'm not feeling well today, let's retreat for the time being." After finishing speaking, with Liu Zhisheng's support, he left the Daxiong Palace.There are a thousand officials left, watching each other.I don't know what the purpose is.

After the morning court ended, the eldest prince rushed to the mansion immediately with his troops.After a while, I saw military adviser Wang Shitu sitting on a rocking chair, drinking tea.So uncomfortable.The eldest prince stomped his feet fiercely, came forward and said anxiously: "Where did you go yesterday? Something serious happened! King Ning's princess was assassinated by the remnants of the previous dynasty!" Wang Shitu was not scared at all while drinking tea. Arrived.He smiled slightly, turned his head and said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, please be safe. Your subordinates already know about this matter." "Oh! Then what do you think should be done?" Wang Shitu laughed: "Your Highness, The one who killed the princess is not the remnants of the previous dynasty. It is my Daxing man."

"What! You..." The frightened eldest prince immediately came to his senses, dragged Wang Shitu to the hiding place, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" Wang Shitu laughed smartly, and said to the eldest prince: " Your Highness, this subordinate has studied poetry and books since he was a child. He even knows a thing or two about Yuan Mengwen. In Yuan Mengwen, there is no word deterring the Quartet. Obviously, this is a forced translation by someone who has only a half-knowledge of Yuan Mengwen. That's all. It's obviously just trying to set the blame on you." The eldest prince jumped up in fright, deeply trusting in Wang Shitu's judgment.Immediately asked: "The military adviser, who did it?" Wang Shitu squinted his eyes, and his habit was similar to Wang Zhen: "If it wasn't the second prince, it was also King Ning!" "What! What if the second prince did it?" I still reluctantly believe what the emperor said. But how could King Ning treat his daughter..." Wang Shitu laughed: "Not necessarily, King Ning has been peeping at the throne for a long time. Otherwise, he will be prepared at this time. Rebellion." The eldest prince swallowed.This king's official career is unscrupulous.It is not uncommon for such outrageous words to be uttered.

"The most likely one is the emperor." The eldest prince frowned, and shouted softly: "Pay attention to your words and deeds, this is treason!" Wang Shitu shook his head, ignored the elder prince's warning, and continued: "The emperor is now The health is getting worse and worse. It seems that time is running out. King Ning has a heavy army in his hand. He has been reluctant to hand it back. He has long been suspected by the emperor. Now it is time to plan for the heir. Take the opportunity to kill the princess and point the finger at it Yuan Meng. In order to avenge the great revenge, you can justifiably ask for the military power back. Or, you can let King Ning go by himself. Use up his strength, and then start from it! Good strategy, even my subordinates underestimated the emperor's great talent." "This... How is this possible. For the sake of the throne, can even an innocent princess be sacrificed?" Wang Shitu sighed, this eldest prince is too righteous.As the emperor, he should give both kindness and power, just like the old saints and butchers.This is the true way of the emperor.This eldest prince is still far away.
