The fourth prince's words were full of anger, and he looked at Qin Zeng like a man-eating beast.
He has lived in the palace as a prince since he was a child, but at first, he did not know that his identity was false.
When he was young, he had longed for his father's closeness, but his father always treated him indifferently.
Once, he bumped into the emperor personally teaching Qin Zeng how to read.
Puzzled, jealous...
All kinds of emotions came over me.
Since then, he has been looking for trouble for Qin Zeng everywhere.
The boy's trivial emotions accumulated over time and gradually turned into hatred. In addition, Concubine Mu was hostile to the Queen, and he and Prince Qin Zeng were on the same page.
Suddenly one day, Concubine Mu discovered Qin Zeng's identity and became furious and almost lost control. It was at that time that the fourth prince learned that he was not the emperor's son at all.
He is fake!
Fearful, helpless, angry, but unable to escape, he did not dare to confess to his father, let alone let anyone know the secret.
The woman who was called his mother, but was actually his aunt, constantly reminded him that he should be a qualified prince and pursue a great cause.
He spent many days and nights alone in his dormitory, so scared that he could not sleep peacefully and had nightmares one after another.
He doesn't want to be a fake prince here at all! He doesn't want to seek any big position!
He just wants to be like a child from an ordinary family, beside his biological parents. He doesn't care about a bright future, as long as there is a place where he can live a down-to-earth life!
The more he struggled in his heart, the more he hated everything around him.
He gathered all the anger and depression that had nowhere to go and put it on Qin Zeng. He regarded Qin Zeng as the target of his venting. He was in trouble and stumbling at every turn, but somehow he seemed to be There is something about protecting Qin Zeng, and every time the other party can save the day in crisis.
He felt that he was just a clown, and his aunt was an even more pathetic joke than he was.
He also thought about asking his biological father Mu Yuanchang for help, but the other party looked at him with the same eyes as Mu Guifei.
They all used him as a tool to achieve their ambitions, and his biological mother, Mrs. Mu, looked at him with a complicated and tangled look every time, which made him feel even more depressed.
The only person who could make him feel relaxed was the simple and willful Mu Ying.
But Mu Ying was also seduced by Qin Zeng at some point, and she didn't even care about the identity of the other eunuch!
Qin Zeng seemed to be standing in front of him forever, blocking the sunlight and making him live in darkness!
today! Qin Zeng must die!
Uh-huh!
The fourth prince pulled out the long sword from his waist and rushed towards Qin Zeng with a clanging sound and trembling murderous intent!
Qin Zeng looked directly at the silhouette of the fourth prince that was flashing towards him, without moving.
bass!
A sharp arrow came straight with the strong wind, hitting the fourth prince's temple without any hesitation!
The arrow penetrated the fourth prince's skull without spilling a drop of blood. This shows the power of the arrow, the accuracy of the arrow, and the strong arm strength of the person who shot the arrow.
Even if the fourth prince was a master on par with Qin Zeng, he would not have any chance to react to such a rapid arrow.
Snap.
The fourth prince's expression did not even change, and he still maintained a murderous brow. He twitched a few times and fell straight to the ground. The long sword in his hand also fell with his movements, making a clang in the empty hall. There was a loud roar.
Li Qingyi's heartbeat almost stopped. She turned back and looked towards the highest point of the palace, and saw the emperor holding a golden bow in his hand, still maintaining the posture of shooting arrows just now.
It was said that the emperor had been fighting with the late emperor since he was a child. He was extremely brave on horseback and killed countless enemies. However, no one saw it with his own eyes. Many people thought that these words were just exaggerated to compliment the emperor.
But today's arrow clearly shows that the emperor's military power is superior.
Li Qingyi once heard Qin Zeng say that the emperor practiced in the winter and in the summer, and never slacked off for a day. He had trained hard with the emperor since he was a child and developed this habit.
In Li Qingyi's inherent impression, the current emperor always seems too gentle and kind compared to the emperors of the past and present. In the nearly twenty years he has been in power, there have been few bloody moments in the court, and he himself can definitely be said to be strict in self-discipline and diligent in government. Love the people, Dajing is under his governance, the seas and rivers are clear, and life is prosperous.
The only shortcoming is probably that he is too merciful in his methods. As long as the actions of the courtiers are above the bottom line, the emperor rarely sits together, exterminates the clan, and kills a whole family.
But today, she discovered that their Dajing emperor was not soft-hearted, but open-minded and understanding.
If someone is really unfavorable to the court and has evil intentions, this king will never hesitate at all.
Benevolent government does not mean mercy.
The fourth prince probably never thought that he would die so silently, not even tragically heroic.
With just such an arrow, he had no chance to express the resentment and grievance in his heart. He didn't even have time to speak half a word, and his soul disappeared into the blue sky. From then on, the beauty, prosperity and intrigues in this world had nothing to do with him anymore.
You could hear a needle drop in the main hall. The emperor put away his bow and arrows and silently handed them to the chamberlain beside him. He took the silk handkerchief and wiped his hands. His expression was still calm and indifferent, and he cherished words like gold as usual.
He is an emperor, his joy and anger cannot be expressed in expression, and his likes and dislikes cannot be expressed in words.
Others can't calm down.
The shooting at this moment was still too shocking for everyone.
After Concubine Mu was stunned for a short time, her legs softened and she knelt down. Cold sweat dripped on her forehead. She was obviously frightened.
Next, we have to deal with her!
*****
At this time, outside the palace.
The fourth prince's most powerful man gave an order, and dozens of rebels raised their swords and approached the prince and Chen Yan.
Listening to his breath and footsteps, Chen Yan knew that he was a very powerful master, "Your Highness, retreat!"
The prince "hum hum" sneered three times, "How can these miscellaneous fish be our opponents?"
Chen Yan was depressed. He was asked to protect the prince, but he didn't have the ability to manipulate the prince. He liked to go against others the most! Fortunately, the prince has been under the oppression of adults all year round, and his skills are not bad!
The factory guards protected the two men in the middle and fought together with the rebels.
With the light of swords and the light of swords, he was attacked from all sides. The prince was full of tricks and tricky moves. With the help of Chen Yan, many people were killed in the blink of an eye. The leader of the rebels snorted coldly and attacked the prince with his sword.
Chen Yan immediately turned around to help, but the prince reminded him: "Don't be distracted, you can't deal with it alone!"
Chen Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, looked back, turned around and cut off the approaching rebels.
The prince was shocked when he received a sword attack from the rebel leader.
The opponent was truly extraordinary in force, but he was not a vegetarian either. The long sword in his hand suddenly split into two, and he thrust the two swords into the necks of the two dying rebels. He pulled out a soft whip from his waist and faced the long sword of the rebel leader. sword.
The leader of the rebels sneered: "Your Highness, it's better to surrender and capture him, so as not to hurt your delicate body!"
"Pretty body? Grandma's, you said I'm a girl!"
The prince was furious and his sword became more powerful.
Inside the palace.
"emperor……"
Concubine Mu no longer had any arrogance and disobedience in her body. She knelt down in front of the emperor, grabbed his robe, and cried sadly, "Your Majesty... I am confused, I am confused..."
Concubine Mu cried so hard that she almost lost her breath, but the emperor was not moved at all.
Queen Wang looked on and sighed secretly in her heart.
She didn't know whether to call Concubine Mu stupid or naive.
This is how the emperors of the world have always used checks and balances to govern.
The Wang family kept a low profile and kept a low profile in order to cooperate with the emperor and bring the Mu family to the forefront.
Because there must always be a character like Concubine Mu of the Mu family in the court!
The emperor has always praised the Mu family and Concubine Mu. From then on, the Mu family became illustrious and became more like a relative than the Wang family.
The nine-story building, for example, was just a pie painted by the emperor for Concubine Mu. Almost a year later, the Ministry of Household Affairs did not allocate even half a tael of silver. The emperor just used this matter to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to do Tai Chi. , let the stagnant water of Liubu stir up, so as to achieve other goals.
Over the years, it has been said that the emperor favored Concubine Mu, but what did Concubine Mu get?
The emperor was so meticulous in his temperament that he really didn't notice the change of Concubine Mu's son?
Just keep calm!
Concubine Mu was immersed in it, thinking that she could really control the emperor with the help of the Mu family.
If the Mu family really raises its troops to rebel, I wonder how many rounds it can take in the hands of the emperor.
What's more, the emperor has Qin Zeng assisting him.
If there is really something that makes the emperor afraid, Chongnan's weird female Imperial Preceptor may still have some weight.
Queen Wang shook her head secretly. The hearts of all the people in the world may not be as popular as the emperor's heart. Poor Concubine Mu really thought she could deceive a generation of wise monarchs.
She had been married to the emperor for many years, and the emperor carefully taught and cultivated the prince as a future monarch. He also respected her, and she never dared to be arrogant.
Everyone in the palace had different moods at this time, but they were all frightened. They all looked at the emperor eagerly, waiting for him to make an apology.
The emperor looked down at the ministers in the palace with a majestic air, "Mighty General Mu Rencheng colluded with foreign enemies and conspired to treason and treason. It has been found out now. I am pained to the core and extremely angry. I will confer a conferment on the family."
Sitting in the family, all the ministers were shocked. After a moment of silence, they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise, long live your Majesty."
According to their emperor's tendency to do important things quietly, I am afraid that today's incident has been prepared for a long time, not only for the rebellion of the fourth prince, but also for the matter of Mu Rencheng's collusion with Chongnan's female imperial counselor as mentioned by Qin Zeng.
Otherwise, if you tell everything if nothing is done, wouldn't it be equivalent to tipping off Mu Rencheng!
At this moment, the man surnamed Mu has probably been tied up or his head has been moved.
What about Chongnan?
The female imperial master also sent the fifth prince to have diplomatic relations. If the two countries went to war now, wouldn't the fifth prince be in trouble?
It's a good time, I can't go back...
After all, someone reacted quickly enough and immediately said attentively: "Your Majesty, the female Imperial Master Chongnan has a very big plan. I don't know what secrets are hidden in this diplomatic relationship. I have to guard against it!"
Later, many people followed suit.
The emperor glanced at them lightly.
Li Qingyi wanted to laugh a little, but the emperor's eyes clearly said, "Do you need to fart? If I wait for you to do it later, I will feel cold so many times!"
Everyone became quiet again.
The emperor swept the sleeves of his robe and said, "Mu Cairen has temporarily moved to the Qingxin Hall and is confined there. No one is allowed to visit without my order."
Qingliang Palace is the Cold Palace.
When Concubine Mu heard the word "talent", she bit her lip helplessly without any retort. No matter what the emperor's purpose was, it was the best outcome for her to save her life.
Li Qingyi glanced at Qin Zeng, maybe the emperor had something to ask Concubine Mu privately.
At this time, someone outside the palace reported: "To your Majesty, the traitors have been eliminated."
Those in the palace who had something to worry about couldn't help but wipe their sweat and tighten their necks.
Mu's house was ransacked, which meant that their family was not simply destroyed. It must have been involved in a wide range of things. As for how wide it was, it all depended on the emperor's wishes.
