Chapter 476: The so-called close ink is black
"Once you have a suspect target, the things you did will not stand up to investigation."
As the emperor, he holds a top intelligence network in his hands, within a reasonable range, what does he want to find out? Basically there is no way to find it.
"As for why I didn't attack directly?
The centipede is dead but not stiff. You have been planning in secret for so many years, and you have involved too many people, and you are always waiting for you to expose them step by step. "
Having finished what should be said, seeing the crown prince drooping his head and not making a sound, until this time he was still pretending to be hypocritical, Jing and Di couldn't hold back their hands and slapped him hard:
"Bastard! Why can't our family feel sorry for you? How could you kill your brother with your own hands?"
The prince wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered sadly: "Oh! I'm sorry, do you believe this?"
It is said that human nature is inherently good. Although there are some born evil people, the prince was just an ordinary child at the beginning.
When he was born, his elder brother was already six years old, and he was already a child prodigy recognized by the court. He grew up under the halo of his brother,
Not only that, the people around him, such as Feng Lisheng, seem to be smarter than him, and they are also more popular than him.
My mother didn't like him since she was a child. Although she tried very hard to show that she liked him, some subconscious behaviors and habits couldn't deceive people.
He asked the nanny quietly, and the nanny smiled and said nothing, telling her not to think about it, but secretly whispered to the maid, saying that the queen almost died because of the dystocia of giving birth to the second prince, and then she hurt her body again after that. Can't conceive, say this child is a scourge, how could the queen like him?
He stood there for a while, hiding under the quilt alone and crying for a long time,
Since then, he felt in his heart that he had harmed his mother, and he became more and more inferior.
I remember one year, when he had just learned how to bow a horse, he went to the hunting ground for the first time and caught a rabbit with the help of his elder brother. With apprehension and joy, he gave the rabbit to the queen.
Sitting in the gazebo in the garden, the queen mother gently touched his head, praised him for being amazing, and asked someone to fill him with his favorite snack.
He happily left with his snacks in his arms, and when he walked halfway, he found that a jade pendant on his body had fallen off. Not knowing what kind of mentality he had, he waved away the people around him and went back to search alone. In fact, he wanted to stay with his mother for a while longer.
He had just passed through the flowers when a gust of wind picked up, and he happened to hear the conversation between the queen mother and the personal nurse:
"Hey! Mother, what do you think I will do? They are all children born in October of my pregnancy, but for Qi Yu... I just can't like it."
Nurse persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Maybe it's just that His Highness is too good, so you pay more attention. This is also human nature..."
"no."
The queen interrupted with a wave of her hand: "I don't know what to say. When I first saw this child after giving birth, I instinctively felt that my child should not be like this. I can't explain this feeling clearly.
But this is indeed the child of Bengong who was pregnant in October. Later, the doctor Wen, who is good at heart disease, also said that it was postpartum depression.
I know this is my own problem, and I have been trying to overcome it, but after six or seven years, I always feel that there is a layer of something between this child! "
He disappeared behind the flowers, and for a moment he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The first time I met Su Qing, it was in Shang's study, a little girl dressed in a splendid dress. Although she was only six years old, she had calm eyes and a calm demeanor. He is unconsciously attracted.
Thinking about it now, it might not be considered liking, it was just a kind of yearning for beautiful things for people with low self-esteem, because Su Qing is a well-known talented girl in Beijing, a model of noble girls, and a girl that all teenagers look up to.
There are many children in Shang's study room, and he is the one who plays with Su Qing the most. At that time, he naively thought that Su Qing liked him, but in fact it was just because the people she wanted to be close to didn't bother to talk to her.
At the Lantern Festival, he won the largest cluster of lanterns, and handed it to Su Qing with a blushing face.
A young man next to him made a fuss, saying that sending a lantern means sending a love letter. Although he was ashamed and annoyed, he didn't explain, and only looked at Su Qing carefully.
Su Qing took it generously, and when the two of them were alone, he casually took off the sachet he was wearing and handed it to him, smiling sweetly at him, saying that this was a return gift.
In this case, the meaning of a girl giving a man a sachet is self-evident.
The fireworks in his heart quietly exploded, and all the grievances and inferiority in the past seemed to be healed by her smile,
He was so happy that he didn't sleep all night, dreaming about the future of the two of them over and over again. He wanted to study hard, and in the future he would help his elder brother to protect Daxia. After he got married, he would bring Su Qing back to the fief. The two of them walked around in their free time. .
However, such a good mood only lasted for one night. He was lured to the back garden by a father-in-law surnamed Wu, and saw Su Qing holding a purse that was several times more exquisite than yesterday's gift, and handing it to him with a blushing face. Elder brother, but he was mercilessly rejected by his elder brother.
He stood there blankly, listening to Su Qing's condescending evaluation of the young people of the Feng family.
It turns out that Su Qing's favorite is the little emperor's uncle, but her elder brother is what she wants to marry the most, because the elder brother is the prince, and she wants to be the queen.
Then what is he? A boredom toy!
He walked back to the dormitory in a daze, feeling that he had been abandoned by the whole world, but there was still a bigger blow waiting for him.
It turns out that he is not some prince, his biological mother is someone else!
He suddenly thought of what his mother said behind his back that year. Is that so?
After hesitating for a few days, he followed Eunuch Wu out of the palace to meet his biological mother.
He thought that as written in the picture book, the two mothers gave birth outside and accidentally hugged the wrong child.
While he was frightened and hesitant, he still had some expectations in his heart, hoping that the other party would treat his elder brother like his mother did, and he was even ready to confess his life experience like his father.
However, the reality is beyond his imagination!
The woman was wearing heavy makeup and said heartfelt words, but she looked at him with calculating eyes.
It turned out that his birth was a calculation, and he was just a tool for his biological mother's revenge.
And his biological father... the man he called uncle for many years, didn't even know his existence.
That woman gave him all the hands he had buried in the palace. She was tantamount to committing a crime. He felt ashamed and angry, and decided to report everything to his father after returning.
However, facing the caring eyes from his parents and elder brother, he hesitated. If he told the truth, everyone would hate him, right? Everything you have now will be lost.
The woman didn't seem surprised that he would do this, and she secretly asked him to provoke him from time to time.
The so-called close ink is black! There is such a secret hidden in my heart, day after day, the evil hidden in my heart is awakened little by little.
When he was eleven years old, he accompanied his mother for a walk in the imperial garden. A little court lady was happily kicking the shuttlecock.
This was the first time he did something bad, and he was so nervous that he didn't fall asleep for several nights. But it's like a hole, once it's opened, it can't be closed.
When he was thirteen years old, he went out of the palace to buy snacks for Su Qing, and saw Xing Qi who looked very much like him in a teahouse.
He knew it was his uncle...that is, the child his biological father had been looking for. It's his half brother.
He brought him back to the East Palace. Looking at the similar facial expressions of the two, he also hesitated. He knew that as long as he made this decision, he would not be able to turn back.
In the end...he still kept the man and put a Gu on the young man. The young man is very smart, and Xing Qi can learn the same article twice, but he has to learn it four or five times.
The more he compares, the more unfair he feels that Xing Qi is the son of the uncle's mansion. And he... is a shameful bastard. He began to torture Xing Qi in various ways,
Later, no matter how careful he was, he couldn't escape his brother's eyes.
So he kept on doing nothing, trying to intercept the letter from his elder brother to Feng Lisheng, and killed him on the way back to Beijing.
Perhaps out of some kind of compensatory psychology, after the elder brother is gone, the mother is sad and treats him better than before. Even Su Qing came forward eagerly, and those ministers who used to fawn on his elder brother...
So...you can only fight for what you want, what's the use of keeping the bottom line of kindness and integrity?
Therefore, often poor people must have something to hate.
The prince withdrew from his thoughts, and was just about to continue to taunt, when soldiers outside the palace rushed to report:
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Huacheng, saying that King Huai and others knew that they were defeated and had kidnapped the people in the city. They asked you to let them go outside the pass, or they would set fire to the city. At a critical moment. General Lu and several other generals suddenly came from their horses. fall down…"
The prince laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Father, you have no plan, this is a hundred secrets and one omission!"
Jing and Di didn't panic at all: "Calculating the time, Xiao Shiliu should be back!"
…
Half an hour ago, Huacheng.
As the name suggests, this small town is rich in many flowers, and colorful flowers are planted in front of almost every house.
However, this beautiful city is full of despair at this time, and the people are gathered together, surrounded by flammable wood. On the city tower, the hopeless King Huai laughed wildly:
"Go back and tell Brother Wu Huang, either let the people of this city be buried with the king, or let the king go away!"
Under the tower, General Lu and several young masters of the Lu family suddenly fell down. The lieutenant general is not very capable, looking at the people who are thrown down from the tower from time to time, he is in a dilemma for a while.
King Huai laughed wildly when he saw this: "Haha...it is said that the current Great Xia army is strong, and this king seems to be nothing more than that..."
Before the words fell, there seemed to be a sound of piercing in the ear, and the feathered arrow wrapped in strong wind shot towards King Huai's eyebrows directly.
In a few breaths, the rebel leader died just like that!
The rebel allies behind were momentarily stunned by this scene. Before they could figure out a countermeasure, more than a dozen feathered arrows followed, and they had no chance to think. The high-level rebels also collapsed in an instant.
The soldiers downstairs were all confused by this shocking scene,
The sound of heavy horseshoes gradually came to my ears, and a uniform team of people approached from far to near. The young man in the head was dressed in black and jade crown, with sharp and angular facial features, deep and handsome, and a pair of calm eyes. When he was almost in front of the city gate, he held up half a tiger talisman and said in a deep voice:
"The tiger talisman is here. If you lay down your arms, you can avoid the death penalty. If you resist stubbornly, you will be conspired against and punish the three clans according to the law."
The voice of instilling inner strength echoed in everyone's ears, and there was a moment of silence inside and outside the city, then someone hesitantly threw down their weapons and opened fire, and the rest of them chose to surrender without any hesitation, and many even trotted over, respectfully open the city gate.
The master is dead, the defeat is set, it is meaningless for them to struggle or not, the main reason is that they were frightened by the three tribes of Zhu in Feng Lisheng's mouth,
In less than half an hour, this ten thousand villain force that kicked off with the massacre of the city was defeated so quickly!
Feng Lisheng asked people to take the poisoned Lu family father and son back, leaving people behind to deal with the aftermath, so he led the people to continue to rush back to Jing.
Shen Mingjiao walked in the middle. After running around for the past few months, her equestrian skills have improved a lot. In the past, she could only go around the racecourse twice, but now she feels okay following the rapid march.
Sure enough, the environment is compelling to grow up!
Ming rode over slowly: "Okay, now that you have arrived in Beijing safely, my concubine, my business is considered complete, and we will meet again later."
Ming left suddenly, but Shen Mingjiao didn't ask her where she was going, she just smiled and waved at her, saying "goodbye".
"Come to the palace to play when you are free, don't worry, there is enough meat in our mansion!"
Ming was obviously stunned for a moment, then laughed and patted Shen Mingjiao's shoulder: "Okay, I will definitely go some other day. You have many experts, and it's convenient to find someone to learn from if your hands are itchy!"
Shen Mingjiao watched her back go away, feeling warm, Feng Lisheng added a cloak to her. He hesitated and said: "Actually, she is..."
"Your Majesty's people!"
Shen Mingjiao glared at him unhappily after finishing speaking: "You are the only one who is smart! I have already seen it too, okay?"
Actually, she just saw that they didn't intend to go this way, but they were secretly persuading them. Combined with Feng Lisheng's unsurprised expression, she just realized it a little bit.
No wonder Feng Lisheng was in no hurry to return to Beijing along the way, so he had already guessed it.
The two brothers obviously did not get along with each other, but they cooperated with each other tacitly.
Jing and Emperor are in charge of manipulating the palace change, while Feng Lisheng is in charge of searching for evidence, and then calming down the chaos by the way.
Feng Lisheng helped her straighten her cloak: "Well, Jiaojiao is the smartest!"
Shen Mingjiao stared at him inexplicably: "Now I think it's better for you with amnesia. It's really embarrassing to hear you say the word "Jiaojiao" in a flat tone every time!"
Feng Lisheng frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and hesitated: "...that's a lady?"
Shen Mingjiao: "..." Sounds more embarrassing?
