Prince Shu's Mansion
The incense eucalyptus was placed in the main courtyard, and the official pointed with his hand: "The decree has arrived!"
When the King of Shu looked at it, he saw an ox cart approaching not far from the gate. The ox cart was not extravagant. There were only two guards with swords and two eunuchs around. The King of Shu was startled and ordered: "Open the target." Welcome at the door!”
In an instant, the door opened, drums started playing, and the ox cart slowly stopped amid the music. A guard had already raised the curtain, and a eunuch got out of the car.
This man was just a sixth-grade eunuch. He walked towards the King of Shu, waved his hands and ordered the attendants to stand on his left and right. With a straight face, he walked to the south of the emperor's head and stood still. He coughed lightly and said, "There is a will!"
The King of Shu leaned over and said, "My dearest minister, I respectfully wish you holy peace!"
"Holy Holy Gong," the eunuch said with an indifferent expression. He stood in front of a crowd of people who knelt down and read out an oral decree: "The Holy Spirit has issued a decree. The rumors are not only shocking, but also rebellious and rebellious. The King of Shu is not strict with his steward, so he is temporarily banned. !”
The wording of this oral edict is harsh, and although the content is brief, every sentence is heart-breaking.
After the eunuch read the oral instructions, he did not smile at the King of Shu as usual. Instead, he looked at the King of Shu who slowly got up with a serious face, and said: "Your Majesty, please study more in the palace these days, and don't go out for a while. .”
If this was the case, in the past, would it have been reasonable for a eunuch to say it to a prince?
Eunuchs have to be brave too!
What we are facing is not a prince with no foundation or a duke who is not in power. This is the King of Shu!
The King of Shu and the King of Qi are the emperor’s biological children!
Not a member of the royal family!
Even the common people in the capital know a few of the deeds of these two princes. As a prince who has always taken root in the capital, since the prince's death, the two have always been the center of everyone in the capital.
Even though there have been setbacks in the brothers' struggle, everyone knows that these two are the emperor's biological children, and the others are too young to participate in the fight for the throne, so the person who inherits the throne must be one of them.
King Lu also thought about squeezing in, but he was recently deposed as the king of Ninghe County, and because of the suspicion of his mother-in-law, Concubine Wei, he almost cut off any hope of succession.
Although there was a struggle between the two people, no one could completely overwhelm the other, even if due to the emperor's balance, "Today you are strong, I will be strong tomorrow", no one dared to neglect.
Even if the grandson appears, there are still many people who value the two of them, and even if a servant in the palace is inclined, he will not really offend the other person, at least on the surface, he will be okay.
If the direction is wrong, the future will definitely be lost, but at least it will not end in death.
Those who can get along well in the palace are basically human beings, so they are short-sighted, and at least they will not step on people who are "not yet dead".
There is only one reason why the eunuchs are so indifferent today, and that is that it comes from the emperor's instructions.
However, even so, it is possible that the eunuch saw that the emperor disliked the king of Shu, and he was trying to distance himself from the relationship!
Seeing the eunuch who had been attentive to him say something and then leave, King Shu, who had slowly stood up, tilted his body slightly and almost fell down, but was supported by the official. That's why I didn't make a fool of myself in public.
However, the King of Shu waved away the official, with a livid face. When he saw the eunuch who was reading the oral edict walking away, he pulled out his sword, and under the horrified gaze of everyone, he swung it and chopped down the table eucalyptus.
"Who is framing me?"
The King of Shu's eyes turned red and he roared angrily: "Even I don't know about such treasonous rumors. How could it be possible that someone in my house spread it?"
It's ridiculous, ridiculous!
If the King of Shu really knows something about taking the heart and extending life, then there is still a possibility that it will be spread from the palace, but the problem is that the King of Shu himself doesn’t know it!
This is the first time for King Shu to hear about it!
Even if he doesn't know it, how can he know about the little steward in his house?
If you don’t know clearly, why are you talking nonsense outside?
This is simply an insult to his own intelligence. Who is so hateful that he dares to frame himself and actually does it? !
Father, Father, how can you really believe such nonsense!
At this time, the King of Shu didn't even think about it further. He just felt that his father had believed the slander, so he thought that he had spread the rumor.
However, several counselors of the King of Shu had solemn expressions and calm faces, and they all felt something different from this sudden change.
There is something wrong with the emperor's furious attitude.
Even if the stewards of Prince Shu's Mansion were talking nonsense outside and such rumors spread, if there really was no such thing, the emperor wouldn't be so angry, right?
After all, the facts and evidence are presented. Although the rumors cannot be refuted, the people do not understand. How can civil servants, military generals, and scholars not understand the truth?
As long as these people know that the emperor is innocent, isn't that enough?
So what if a bunch of stupid men and women believed the rumors?
In recent years, there have been some more outrageous rumors among the people. Even if the emperor is angry, it is limited. He has never been so angry?
Is it because the princes are getting older and it involves the prince's past, so the old emperor will be more angry?
No, I'm afraid it's not that simple...
Some people can't help but think about more conspiracy theories. The emperor is so angry. It doesn't look like he is angry because of being spread rumors, but more like... being told something bad!
But who dares to say this at this moment?
Even if you say it, you can't say it here, but say it during the meeting!
Thoughts were swirling in Yo Ma's conscience, but he still suppressed them.
Everyone left the main courtyard and returned to the hall. The only two people here were King Shu and Ma Youliang. They were speechless and silent for a while.
"This rumor is very scary, and your Majesty has dealt with it very well."
"Beheading the eucalyptus, being furious, and reacting like this all prove the king's innocence. If he remains silent, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"But a lot of trouble has been sown." King Shu's face turned really pale this time. He smiled bitterly: "You don't know, once my father becomes suspicious, it will be difficult to pull out this thorn."
"But I really don't know. Think about it, I was only fifteen or sixteen years old when the prince died. How could I spy on my father's secrets?"
"But there is no way to explain why Piangu is here. The first explanation is that there is no three hundred taels of silver here."
"What the king is saying is that this plan is too poisonous, and this person will definitely die!" Ma Youliang said gloomily: "I'm afraid there are other insiders besides this person, and the king must investigate thoroughly!"
"That's for sure. Let's not talk about these specific things for now." King Shu wandered a few steps back in the hall and suddenly said slowly: "Are you familiar with this feeling?"
These words came out of the blue, but Ma Youliang has been with the King of Shu for more than ten years. After being asked by the King of Shu, he was startled, and he really felt that there was something familiar about this matter. This was a kind of saying. Unable to escape the feeling, I muttered: "It's a bit familiar."
"Is it obvious that something is wrong, but upon closer inspection there are no other traces, as if everything is a coincidence of God's will?" King Shu frowned and continued to ask with a faint look.
This was the first feeling King Shu had when encountering this matter.
Familiar, very familiar. I have been familiar with him too many times in the past few years. Every time, the two kings lose and the grandson wins!
To this day, this question can no longer be suppressed.
