"During those days, because I was getting closer and closer to the vassal, my father and mother often invited me into the palace and often kept me in the palace for a while. Every time I entered the palace, I would try my best to have a tryst with her. Even if I couldn't really She is in ecstasy, but as long as I can hold her in my arms, I will be satisfied. Although the rules in the palace are strict, I am the legitimate son of the middle palace, and any eunuch dares to interfere with me? "
"It wasn't until before I ascended the throne that she told me at a loss during a tryst that she was pregnant. Although she was under my care at that time, she had become increasingly favored, and her father had invited her to sleep with her many times. A little. But the eunuchs around my father have been bribed by me a long time ago, and they have never left a dragon seed. So I know that the child in her belly is mine."
Having said this, King Jing smiled bitterly: "I thought I was doing things secretly, but I didn't expect that I would be discovered. In the second year after I came to the domain, that is the year when her child was born, there was someone She found me with a letter. When I saw the letter, I was dumbfounded. The letter clearly stated how many times I had a tryst with her and where we met."
"There are also the confessions of the eunuch who was close to Concubine Shen at that time, and the eunuch in the respectful room. It even went into detail about the several positions I used when Concubine Shen and I had sex. For the safety of their mother and son, I can only accept it. That person's threat. I have conquered Zhengzhou, and although there is still a certain amount of power in the capital, it is not only out of reach, but the power in the palace is not as great as you think."
"Out of helplessness, your second brother and I, who have not been controlled by others all our lives, can only bow down and accept his threats. Otherwise, what else can we do? If this matter is raised, it will definitely be a huge scandal in the palace. My son and concubine It's not as good as having an affair, and they also gave birth to a son. Not only is the father's face disgraced, but the two of them are destined to die."
"At the beginning, he restrained himself a little and just used me to fight against the prince. I have been doing this for a long time. Although his demands were a bit excessive, I didn't care too much. Later, it slowly started to change for me. He placed private persons around me to monitor me anytime and anywhere. Even later, most of the eunuchs and guards around me were replaced by him."
"He also found out the private soldiers I was hiding north of the Yellow River and put people under his control. He even used my name to recruit people from all walks of life and trained and formed a Thirteenth Iron Guard Battalion to carry out assassinations for him. Activities. The assassin who assassinated Ninth Brother at that time was personally selected by him from the Thirteenth Battalion of the Iron Guard."
"Since my mother became critically ill at the beginning of this year, he suddenly tightened his control over me. Although there is no deprivation in life, without the nod of the people he sent to take charge of things around me, I would not even have the freedom to leave the house. Even this rebellion , I didn’t know what he was going to do until I was kidnapped out of Zhengzhou. I am the leader of the rebels in name, but in fact I can’t do anything.”
"However, he underestimated me too much. He really thought that he would send people to replace most of the guards and eunuchs around me with his people, and control all the income of my house, as well as my hidden private soldiers. Can you really play with me? Haha, he also thinks that I am too simple."
"He can control my income, but it is the ground rent from the land under the name of Prince Jing's Mansion. The cumulative annual income of those land rents is indeed a lot, but it is just a drop in the bucket for Prince Jing's Mansion. All the land rents added together are only enough for each year. The cost of wooing officials. What’s left is just enough to issue monthly reports to the servants of Prince Jing’s Mansion.”
"As for manpower, he knows that all the eggs cannot be placed on one plate, so why don't I know it? Although he controls most of my manpower, I still have some secretly hidden manpower that he doesn't know about. It's a pity that , my hidden manpower is still limited, and when I wiped out his 13th Iron Guard Battalion, although I took some measures, the losses were still too great."
"As for these 30,000 private soldiers, you have also seen what the situation is like. Originally, my method was to base on 2,000 people, gradually strengthen them little by little, and win over and fully support a group of young military attachés. Anyway, my father is still in his prime. Sheng, I still have plenty of time. As long as my father doesn't find out, give me ten years, and I'm sure to develop a fifty thousand strong team."
Having said this, King Jing looked outside the tent at the setting sun that dyed half of the sky red. He raised his glass and drank it, then sighed and said, "It's a pity that all my plans were ruined by him." In his hands. Although he has been planning this rebellion for a long time, he only used it to completely discredit me and King Duan, both personally and in reputation, and he had no intention of succeeding at all."
"No matter what the outcome of this rebellion is? It is impossible for King Duan and I to step into the capital. Even if he is lucky enough to succeed, there will only be a glass of poisonous wine waiting for the two of us. He uses the skill of borrowing a knife to kill people. This is not an ordinary sneak. Just like when you were assassinated, he can make everyone think that it was the prince who did it."
"Actually, although our eldest brother is narrow-minded and intolerant, he grew up under the strict discipline of our father. If my father were not here, he would never have any scruples in doing things, and he would treat us brothers without any hesitation. Show mercy. But as long as my father is still here, he will be restrained in doing things."
"Poisoning is something he thinks is hidden, and he can do it very well. But if it is a public assassination, he will still have too many worries. Especially in the capital, he may plan very carefully. Thoughtful, but when it comes time to take action, you will lose sight of one thing and not the other. The prince is not that courageous."
"When you were assassinated, it was just because he used a knife to kill someone and diverted everyone's attention to the prince. Because the fight between me, Prince Duan, and our eldest brother was far more intense than that of you. But we were all in private. Fighting, no one is stupid enough to put this kind of fight on the table. Because we all know where the father's bottom line is."
"As long as you kid, someone actually did the opposite, openly and openly under the banner of asking for life for the people, not to mention that he was disgraced, and he couldn't even fart. And what he is like is the same as ours. I know. If something happens to you, our prince, who must pay for his flaws, will be the first to be suspected."
"You know, your boy not only made him disgraced, but also drove his top cadre, who was also his most important confidant, out of the capital. Do you know that back then, in order to compete for this Jing Zhaoyin, he spent a lot of money How much effort you put into it. No matter whether you did it intentionally or not, he will not put this debt on others."
"How could that person just let go of such a good opportunity? He doesn't like to come forward in person, but he is a little happy to kill people with borrowed knives. Of course, he also doesn't give up when the critical moment comes. He won't care. As long as he can get rid of his opponent, even if it means smearing his opponent's body, he will always be too little, not too much."
"What's more, your boy was already showing his talents at that time. We tried all our methods to remove Jing Zhaoyin, but you were able to easily get him out of the capital under the banner of asking for help. And he The power in the capital is stronger and larger than that of the prince. If your kid also targets him, how can he not be deeply jealous?"
"In addition, although he didn't necessarily regard you as his opponent at the time, he definitely felt threatened by Concubine Jing behind you. Who is Concubine Jing? Although she has been living in the cold palace for more than ten years, she has not been involved in worldly affairs for more than ten years. But anyone with some sense, other than Concubine De and her son, who dares to look down upon anyone with a bit of ambition?"
"By using the crown prince's name to get rid of you, I have eliminated a hidden opponent and transferred Concubine Jing's attention to the crown prince. If Concubine Jing really takes action, the crown prince will have to skin him even if he doesn't die. Even if he can't really be abolished, He is happy to see the crown prince's position weaken the prince's strength. That's why your kid was assassinated."
At this point, King Jing stopped talking. Although he was based in Zhengzhou, King Jing was well aware of Huang Qiong's behavior after his assassination. He was even more aware of the abnormality in the relationship between Huang Qiong and his Mrs. Chen. He brought up old things again just to stimulate the ninth brother and see how he looked like. More importantly, he wanted to feel how deep the ninth brother's city was.
What he didn't expect was that after hearing the so-called secret from his mouth, Huang Qiong's face remained calm. Unknown to Huang Qiong, King Jing, who had already expected that the real culprit behind his assassination was not the prince, was not ordinary disappointed.
In fact, Huang Qiong's current mood was by no means as light as it appeared on the surface. King Jing's words caused great waves in his heart. Although his second brother was not the mastermind behind his own assassination. But it is obvious that King Jing not only knows the inside story, but also knows the real murderer. Chen Yao's death is a thorn in Huang Qiong's heart that will never be removed.
Since the accident in his previous life, Huang Qiong no longer believes in repaying evil with kindness. He would not use the life of the woman he loves and his unformed child as bargaining chips to gain support from certain people. Even his emperor, I, can't do this. If I can't avenge the woman I love and the child, how can I be called a man or husband?
But now he is limited by his strength, so he can only endure it now. There was a knife on his head, and even though the knife was constantly irritating his heart and causing it to bleed, he could only endure it. He knew that he did not yet have the strength to compete with the mastermind behind the scenes, or even find out who the mastermind behind the scenes was, so he had been choosing to endure silently.
He understood and understood the true meaning of what the old man said to him on the wall of the palace city that day. He knew that the old man's words that day were not telling him about his own past. It's telling him that he has to learn to be patient with some things. When you can't bear it anymore, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. Those who achieve great things must endure things that ordinary people cannot endure.
Although Huang Qiong wanted to question King Jing, who was the mastermind who planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife, assassinate himself and then frame the prince, and even control his dignified prince? But after thinking about it for a moment, Huang Qiong still endured it. As his second brother, it was not that he didn't hear some of the meaning in his words. He was encouraging himself, and now he was going to have a big fight with that person.
But do I really have that strength now? That person can control a dignified prince in the palm of his hand, and his strength can be seen as average. If this is the case with King Duan, his strength would be even more terrifying. If he really breaks his arms and fights, he may not even get the result of losing both sides.
It was because he understood the meaning of King Jing's words that Huang Qiong did not answer the question. However, King Jing looked at Huang Qiong's plain expression and smiled: "What? Ninth brother doesn't believe what the second brother said? You still think that the second brother and I have ulterior motives for saying these words to the ninth brother today?" ?”
