Chapter 146 The stars look like this but not last night
The vast Prince Geng's Mansion has all the furnishings, institutional settings and entourage equipment. It is almost the same as the royal palace. It is just like a smaller version of the royal palace.
However, the place was sparsely populated after nightfall, because Geng Jimao ordered more than once that there was no need to wait for people to enter the house after nightfall, and he even personally killed the servants who came out at night.
There was an empty courtyard in Prince Geng's mansion, which was particularly cold.
There is an incense burner in the empty room that has not been lit, and the furnishings are suitable for both uses. When burning incense on weekdays, along with the smoke curling up, the clouds and smoke on the table disturb the artistic conception, which is very graceful. But now in such a big house, there is only a slovenly man huddled up.
Noble person.
The jade belt of his brocade robe was torn to pieces by itself, and one of his boots fell off at some point. The room was filled with fragments of smashed porcelain and silk curtains. The smell of alcohol everywhere had turned into a strong sour taste due to settling for too long.
The stench, mixed with an indescribable stench, floated in the air.
On the floor tiles not far away, there is a trace of crawling filth, which looks like a struggling and twisted human figure. The corpse water has indelibly penetrated deeply into the cracks between the bricks and stones. It looks hideous and terrifying, like a lying corpse.
film.
It's very strange. A corpse that has been dead for three days seems to have no connection with a person who has disappeared for half a day.
The servants of the palace also clearly saw the boy coming out to get drinks, but when everyone looked at each other and stepped back, noticing the deep secrets on each other's faces, everything became mysterious and shuddering.
Outside the room with the doors and windows closed, there was a sudden flash of fire, and then the sound of footsteps. They hurriedly approached and without stopping, they pushed open the door that everyone in the palace was avoiding.
"Your Majesty, Fuwei Escort Agency came late to rescue us, please forgive me!"
The person in front of me was lost and lost, and only lost and lost.
The young prince was in despair, his eyes were full of exhaustion from not sleeping for days, and his spirit was numb to the extreme. He felt like a piece of rotten wood floating on the water, and he could hear an empty and rotten sound whenever he tapped on his chest.
Fuwei Escort Agency?
It's nothing more than a chess piece, a useless and useless chess piece.
He had long known Lin Zhennan's move to sneak his men out of the city, but he had no intention of stopping him. He would rather watch Lin Zhennan jump into the trap thinking he was wise.
He originally had a lot of chess pieces like this in his hand, and Fuwei Escorts was just an ordinary piece. But now, those carefully arranged killing moves were quietly useless, and a charlatan from Fuwei Escorts who sneaked in alone, and
What use can it be put to?
"Your Majesty, I'm here to take you out. Please wash up and change clothes immediately, and come out to take charge of the overall situation!"
The loud voice made the young prince's ears ring and he suffered from constant headaches and unbearable pain. However, he didn't even think of covering his ears. He stared blankly at the floor tiles in front of him, and his eyelids took a long time to blink.
The extremely chapped lips were covered with dark brown blood scabs. It took a long time for him to murmur and tremble, but his vocal cords did not move at all.
Go out...ridiculous...
He has nowhere to go.
The entire history of this body once named Geng Jingzhong was born on the day he walked out of the confinement of the Forbidden City, and died on the moment he entered the confinement of Prince Geng's Mansion. Everything was just right, just like the most skilled Western painters drew it with ease.
of circle.
In the few days before they were imprisoned, Zeng Yangxing, Bai Xianzhong, Xu Wenyao and others took turns coming back to visit and convey news from the outside world through secret messages. However, in just two days, there was no news from these confidants who had tried their best to win over, and the news spread out by themselves.
The news also fell into obscurity.
"Your Majesty, the situation is very critical now. I saw a group of Eight Banners stationed in the city, and they were under the name of General Annan. Their behavior was very suspicious."
General Annan...Dasu?
By the way, it's him...
The prince's dull eyes dodge with pain like acupuncture.
A few months ago, Zheng Chenggong invaded the south of the Yangtze River. The Qing government sent General Da Su of Annan to conquer the area. However, when he arrived, the Zheng family had already been defeated. He continued to march south to Siming Prefecture, intending to attack the Zheng family's lair.
It is reasonable for this person to enter Fuzhou to rest his troops and replenish his supplies.
But what is unusual is that Da Su, who abandoned his army and led 500 light cavalry soldiers to arrive in the city first, also brought two men named Geng Zhaozhong and Geng Juzhong...
The imperial envoy declared himself guilty of treason, and the general sent back two other hostages to be held hostage. The imperial court's intention was self-evident.
The peer sitting high in the Jinluan Palace didn't seem to say anything, but everyone understood that their heir apparent would no longer be his heir apparent, and the confinement was no longer protection, but had become a complete punishment.
The recent cold reception immediately became a matter of course, and the young prince understood it.
"Dasu...what are you going to do..."
It hurt even to speak, as if there was a razor blade stuck in his throat. As his vocal cords vibrated slightly, blood flowed from his throat, and a strong smell of rust came out of his mouth.
"That's it. I saw someone under the banner of General Annan rushing to the West Lake at starry night. Then they drove away the soldiers left behind by the prince, took over the drainage of tree embankments and the fortifications of building a pond around the lake, and immediately excavated the ancient stone in the center of the lake.
temple."
Ancient temple in the middle of the lake?
As expected, they also had the idea of Baohuang Temple.
The young prince rolled his eyes, but his usually bright thoughts were extremely slow. It took him a long time to figure out this simple question.
After the Li family in the Southern Tang Dynasty conquered the Fujian Kingdom, it is said that they sent strong soldiers to demolish the Imperial Palace on Jiuxian Mountain. The Imperial Palace in the palace was chopped down and burned with Southern Tang knives, at the cost of hundreds of lives.
The building and boat were scuttled and buried with him, and then the emperor was sunk forever into the depths of the Minjiang River.
The ugly accountant in the Fuwei Escort Agency had long ago presented the inscription of the "Long Qi Stele of the Imperial Palace". Geng Jimao sent people to dig up three mountains and two towers but failed to find clues about the Imperial Palace. In fact, he had long ago grasped the clues.
inside.
He guessed that the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty had clearly put on a big show and deceived everyone!
He knew that the reason why the Imperial Palace was built on the top of the Jiuxian Mountain was not because Min Huizong Zhongqing was there, but because the Imperial Palace was only there!
"madness……"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The young prince showed disdain, and there were many people who did not know their importance, and Dasu sent by the Qing court was the leader among them.
The reason why Dasu was able to lead an army south to put down the rebellion on his own was not only due to his status as XHQ, but also because of his inflexible eagle-dog nature, which had long been trained to the point of being empty-headed by the Aixinjueluo family's method of making eagles.
The experience in the Qing Palace was still vivid in his mind, and the young prince was still unwilling to lose in front of these eagle and dog minions, even if it was just a step!
"More than stupid, simply stupid!"
The people at Fuwei Escort laughed so frivolously that the young prince felt vaguely offended.
"Dasu sent people to lower the river into the water to no avail, so he ordered people to dig out the mud and try to lift the ancient temple. Not long after, they dug out a ferocious cast-iron river-controlling beast in the mud. It collapsed and killed three more people.
The situation could not get out of control for a while, and the pro-military troops tried their best to suppress it, so they did not blow up the camp and retreated to the shore in dejection."
The news shared by the visitors made him feel comfortable all over. At this time, only the pain experienced by others could make him smile with empathy - and the proud smiles of others were to him the most heart-wrenching poison in the world.
The sea eye dug out during the construction of the city in the Western Jin Dynasty is itself an unfathomable place. The Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty claimed that the Emperor Zun had been carried by a building ship and sank into the depths of the Minjiang River. In fact, it was just to hide the truth from the sky. The real Emperor Zun
It is very likely that he was hidden in that ancient temple and was thrown into the sea by the helpless Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, never to be seen again.
This method is extremely secretive. If future generations were not 100% sure, they would never expend public energy to excavate the bottom of the lake, thus avoiding many future troubles.
It's just that the young prince still can't figure out what kind of terrifying existence the Emperor is that makes the leader of the country who carries the power of the victorious army so fearful. It also makes Li Jing seriously believe that the Emperor is "divine power" who claims to ask for everything.
, is only valid for the Fujian Wang family, and then they will be expelled and suppressed at any cost!
"They are working in vain!"
The young prince suddenly laughed wildly, gnashing his teeth. It was not clear whether it was because of pain or pleasure, "If this ancient temple could be easily revealed, our Geng family wouldn't have to worry so much..."
At this point, the prince's face was suddenly illuminated by candlelight, and the words he just spoke turned into a sharp knife in his heart, and he was like a poor guy who had just woken up from a pleasant dream. At this time, the person in front of him had the residual wine faded due to his blood.
The drunkard was left with only pain all over his body and residual resentment that could not be numbed and extinguished.
Where does he have any Geng family?
Jiang Wen knelt down, placed the lamp in front of Geng Jingzhong, and showed a strange expression.
"The prince's trick of pretending to be crazy but not crazy is quite clever. It is indeed a clever plan to avoid disasters. It was the same as what happened to Pang Juan back then. If it weren't for bad luck and the situation being greater than the situation, the prince would have been able to slay a dragon and fly into the sky."
Geng Jingzhong, who had not seen bright light for a long time, squinted his eyes and looked around for a long time before he could see Jiang Wen's face clearly.
"Are you... a guest of the Lin family?"
Geng Jingzhong blocked the light with his palms and sat defiantly squinting at Jiang Wen, "I saw you at a banquet. Chang Qingzi said during a private meeting that your martial arts must be strong."
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity that things changed after the banquet. Now you can no longer be a guest of the Lin family, and I am no longer the heir apparent of the Geng family."
Jiang Wen said modestly: "Headmaster Changqingzi has given you the reward. Your Majesty, I came to rescue you on the orders of the chief escort officer. I would like to ask Mr. Huang from Eryouzhai what he told you."
The young prince smiled slightly and said sarcastically.
"My lord, Mr. Lin, is so grateful that he can think of me despite his busy schedule."
Jiang Wen pretended not to hear the other party's sarcasm and looked at him with stern eyes. The threat of exchange was already evident in his words. Only if Geng Jingzhong exchanged information would he rescue him as promised.
Geng Jingzhong remained silent for a long time with a gloomy expression before slowly telling what Jiang Wen wanted to know.
The accountant of Fuwei Escort once told him that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Wang Ba, a Qi practitioner, lived on Jiuxian Mountain in Fuzhou.
He saw two acacia trees on the mountain, which were lush and leafy. He liked them very much, so he built an earthen altar under the trees as a place for worship and practice day and night. Later, Wang Ba succeeded in refining the elixir and transformed into the breeze and left.
He said to people: "My descendants should be kings here."
He even made his own prophecies and buried them underground. One of them wrote:
When the tree is withered, there is no need to cut it down; when the altar is broken, there is no need to bear fruit.
Less than a thousand years later, it has its own descendants.
The words contain an indescribable sense of freedom and freedom from the world. This altar has also been accompanied by changes in things and people for nearly a thousand years, and it was finally dug out by Xu Jingxuan, a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, when he was digging for a Taoist temple.
, and then reappeared in the world.
What was written in the second prophecy was even more bizarre, seeming to tell the story of success and failure a thousand years later in one fell swoop:
Later, there were three kings, and the tide brought disaster.
When the rock meets the rocks, it is inevitable that it will be destroyed.
The descendants follow my way and entrust Fujian territory from generation to generation.
This prophetic poem was kept secret from generation to generation by the Xu family. It was not until Xu Yan, a descendant of Xu Jingxuan, presented it to Min Huizong, the first emperor to proclaim himself emperor, that the strange incident of ghost sighting occurred in the palace.
Geng Jingzhong suddenly fell silent.
He remembered that when he said this, the accountant of Fuwei Escort had a strange smile on his face, as if these vulgar prophecies made up of unfair gains in the country contained some ulterior secret.
"Your Majesty, why is the second prophecy poem different from the one I've heard? Is there a missing sentence at the end, 'Fujian will give birth to the emperor, and the three mountains will serve as battlefields'?"
"The saying that 'the emperor came out of Fujian, and the Three Mountains were the battlefield' is rumored among the people to be Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, but in fact it was reported by Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia under Zhu Hongwu, after he was ordered to send an envoy to Fuquan County."
Geng Jingzhong raised his head in surprise and said in a hoarse voice.
"Zhou Dexing later cut off the dragon veins of the two palaces because of this. These two events spanned more than a thousand years, so how can they be confused?"
Jiang Wen laughed and remembered these words in his heart, then took out a water bag from his arms and handed it to him.
However, Geng Jingzhong took it, weighed it in his hand, and threw it aside. He would rather be hungry and thirsty than touch it. He staggered and tried to stand up, but his legs were too weak to support him.
"The prince is so self-indulgent and dissolute, which shows that he has used the trick of hypocrisy and ignorance to the depths. It is nothing more than false and true, making it impossible for people to guess."
Jiang Wen smiled faintly, pulled a rosewood chair and sat down, "If you really want to use a trick, why not pretend to be real and put it to death before living?"
Jiang Wen has already tested it out. Geng Jingzhong is not crazy as rumored. He was just pretending to be crazy to avoid trouble and was plotted by Shunzhi. As a result, his position as the heir apparent is irreversible. It can be said that he is pretending to be a fool and feels shameless.
Talent is hiding.
After all, at this point, rather than being found out to be a fool and making people laugh, it would be better to act the lunatic honestly until the end.
Looking at Jiang Wenran's eyes, Geng Jingzhong suddenly hated the man in front of him.
This feeling was just like when he was young and used tricks in front of Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang, he would always be exposed and ridiculed until he was completely injured.
Jiang Wen watched the flickering candlelight create strange shadows all over the room, and said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, don't you know where you lost?"
Geng Jingzhong remained silent, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He suddenly felt that the other party was a spy sent by the Qing court.
Jiang Wen glanced at his cuffs, and there was obviously a waist knife hidden inside.
Then it turned out just as he thought——
"How can the prince collude with the White Lotus Sect?"
Geng Jingzhong thought that the other party was coming to ridicule him for his shallow strategy, but he did not expect that the man dressed as a Taoist priest in front of him suddenly stood up, pointed at his nose and shouted.
Geng Jingzhong was called stupid, and even suspected that the person in front of him was an irrational corrupt scholar.
In the situation he faced, he tried to retreat by pretending to be crazy but was blocked. This was indeed his childishness and naivety, but what did it have to do with colluding with the White Lotus Sect?
It was clear that half of this crime was deliberately framed by Monk Yankong. Could it be that if they didn’t provoke the White Lotus Sect, the Qing government would be unable to do anything about it?
Jiang Wen supported the crooked Taoist crown and said word by word, "You should collude with the great rebel Zheng Chenggong!"
As soon as these words came out, the surprise on Geng Jingzhong's face instantly turned into disbelief. His pupils were dilated and his eyes were dull. His mouth was obviously open but he couldn't speak. He could only breathe heavily, causing his heartbeat to be so violent that it could be clearly heard.
He felt that his heart was beating wrongly, and some kind of more violent annoyance was like a tsunami generated in the depths of the sea, rumbling along the sea and sky.
Jiang Wen's next words were still loud and clear.
"What's the use of pretending to be crazy? When you miss a move, you should immediately admit defeat, learn the lesson and start another game, instead of trying to profit from the endgame. The Qing government has seen through you
Only with such a good character will they seize on your flaws and pursue you fiercely!"
In Jiang Wen's eyes, Geng Jingzhong was by no means a courageous person, but he was not a calm and calculating vassal king either.
In the future, he would dare to initiate rebellion under the threat of reducing the vassal state. However, once he encountered setbacks, he would actually think of surrendering to the Qing court again and counterattack the other two vassals.
This kind of weird behavior can only show that he has a fierce personality and is greedy for blame. Not only does he not dare to take responsibility for the wrong choices he made, but he will also take the initiative to cover up his mistakes and even end up in a dead end.
Geng Jingzhong's face turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly and refused to let go. Countless scenes of deep humiliation appeared in front of his eyes. It seemed that he was still the proton of the feudal town who was kneeling in the Qing palace, trembling and daring not to resist.
"So you are the madman!"
Geng Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said.
Jiang Wen's expression was disapproving, like a normal person who was deeply crazy.
"What is this? If you want to take action, you must first be prepared to break up. You must write your rebellious intentions on your face. On the contrary, the Qing court will not dare to take action against you, or even interfere in the affairs of the feudal town."
Jiang Wen glanced at Geng Jingzhong and said, "Don't believe it? Then let me ask you, where does the Qing government rely most on the Geng family? It's the defense of the southeast. Who is the enemy that the southeast is most worried about? It's the Zheng family in southern Fujian! The so-called White Lotus Sect is nothing more than that.
The disease of ringworm and scabies can be eradicated by sending an imperial envoy and three hundred elite soldiers. But if the Geng family colludes with Zheng Chenggong, there will be a great chaos that will corrupt several provinces and cause chaos in the southeast!"
This is not Jiang Wen's nonsense.
During the San Francisco Rebellion in the future, Geng Jingzhong relied on his alliance with Zheng Jing from Taiwan to defeat the Qing army in the south.
Criticize.
"If I do this, how can I succeed as the vassal king?"
Geng Jingzhong swallowed and said hoarsely.
Jiang Wen's expression was extremely strange.
"That's the second childish thing about you. Do you think that as long as your father Geng Jimao is here, he will protect you no matter what? But now that he treats you as an abandoned son, you begin to feel helpless.
Already!?"
Geng Jingzhong was speechless again.
The force that supported him during the ten years in the Qing palace was his immortal father Geng Jimao who fought abroad. Only when his father achieved a great victory did Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang restrain their harsh attitude towards him.
I don't know when, but all the foundation for his actions came from this strange man who he called father when he was away at war all year round. But the time the two fathers and sons really got together was less than one-thousandth of that of an ordinary father and son, and they never met each other.
Said a few words.
"After your grandfather Geng Zhongming committed suicide in fear of crime, the Qing court was worried about the elite soldiers under his command causing rebellion. Therefore, although the issue of reducing the vassal was very popular at that time, Dorgon still insisted on letting your father continue to command the army as Geng's eldest son, and he was able to control them one by one.
The people's hearts avoid mutiny, and the two serve as vanguards to test their loyalty."
That time, the Qing court's tactic of surviving an eagle was successful again. Geng Jimao, who was ordered to fight in the face of danger, went south to fight with all his strength. The following year, he and Shang Kexi led tens of thousands of cavalry into Guangzhou, becoming an out-and-out, irrefutable loyal minister and what he is today.
Geng Jimao, the “King of Jingnan”.
"But since ancient times, a cunning rabbit has been killed by a good dog. Nowadays, the Qing court has become the dominant one. If the Geng family wants to struggle to survive, firstly, they must have a banner figure who can win the hearts of the people. Secondly, they must have strong enemies from outside to ensure their status. Only in this way can they
Let the Qing court continue to be wary of the reduction of vassal vassals."
Jiang Wen took a deep look at Geng Jingzhong and said, "Although your father Geng Jimao is in his prime now, he will one day decline. Originally, if this person is not you, can he still be your babbling brothers?"
When a person has both ambition and a glassy heart, he will become a conflicted person gnashing his teeth in front of him.
Geng Jingzhong was neither willing to endure defeat nor admit his mistakes. In comparison, Zheng Chenggong was much lighter. After the defeat in Nanjing, his vitality was severely damaged and he lost 72 generals. He was still able to defeat Xiamen next year.
Da Su, annihilated more than 10,000 Qing troops, leaving the Annan general Da Su, who was sure of victory, with only his own life.
"It's a pity that everything is too late... If I could wake up a few days earlier, maybe..."
Geng Jingzhong sighed deeply and suppressed the overwhelming regret in his heart.
He originally thought that he was already young and mature, and had already exhausted all his plans, but only now did he realize that in the eyes of the Qing court, his methods were still no more than a child's playfulness and not worth a penny.
Jiang Wen suddenly stood up, his robe sleeves brushing through the turbid air in the room, causing a wave of evil.
"Who said it's too late?"
Jiang Wen's tone was extremely eccentric, as if he had the expression of a lunatic, and his words were also very seductive.
"Since ancient times, carnivores have been despicable. The so-called superiors are not those who can predict everything and have the upper hand, but who can find flawless excuses to cover up their mistakes as soon as they make mistakes! I think you are very successful in what you are doing now.
The heroic posture, the so-called worry about defeat, is only one step away from death, and you can come back to life!"
These words were heartbreaking, almost putting the superior's face on the ground, but upon careful consideration, it made perfect sense. Even though Geng Jingzhong was discouraged and unwilling to touch his memories, he still couldn't help but want to go.
"Taoist Priest...please give me some guidance!"
When Jiang Wen heard these words spoken, he knew that Geng Jingzhong had changed.
The crown prince, who had just grown up, had already shown great plasticity at this time. As his youthful temperament was finally worn away, just like the fire of a new kiln porcelain faded, he finally began to move closer to the powerful man who would disrupt the world.
Especially the sincerity of the other party's expression at this moment. If Jiang Wen hadn't keenly noticed that he still hadn't touched the water bag with a finger, he would have almost been deceived by him.
"Your Majesty, no gift. Do you know what else I saw besides seeing Da Su break his sword at the edge of the West Lake?"
Jiang Wen sat back on the rosewood chair and said slowly, "The cast-iron water beast crushed several people to death when it came ashore, causing chaos. Suddenly, the city walls in the lake were towering, towers and oars were towering, and flags, sails and rafters were swirling around the outside of the city.
In the mist."
"Everyone was screaming in surprise. At this time, Prince Geng's ambush soldiers suddenly arrived and confronted the 388 elite soldiers led by Annan General Dasu Qingchao Jiancong. They refused to give in on the grounds of the imperial edict of Fuzhou defense."
"Prince Geng seemed to be giving in for days, but in fact he laid a trap at the feet of the Qing court. Monk Yankong went to the city to cause trouble, which could be said to be to capture the bandits and suppress the rebellion, but Dasu's greedy and rash move completely fell into the trap."
"They originally thought that Prince Geng didn't have the guts to go against the imperial envoy because of the confinement of the crown prince, but as soon as this 'military encounter' came out, everyone knew how courageous Prince Geng was to use the knife. Just like the strategy I mentioned before.
, Your Majesty will have the courage to collude with the Zheng family and truly support the bandits with self-respect!"
Geng Jingzhong was stunned and lowered his head deeply, hiding his expression in the shadow of his cupped hands.
"If this is the case, I can only apologize to my father..."
Jiang Wen smiled slightly, looking strange and cruel.
"Your Majesty, you are overly worried. Commanders Zeng, Xu, and Bai, who you have recruited and made friends with, have all been ordered to return home to reflect on their past. Even the personal guards outside this courtyard have been withdrawn. At this time, anyone can come and go freely.
.”
"It's true that Prince Geng has great foresight, but he doesn't necessarily want to restore you as the crown prince. He may be waiting for the Qing court to send a killer. Both parties tacitly and well-intentionedly released the news that the crown prince died suddenly for no reason, and then the court mourned and bestowed a gift.
, the prince's generous gift in return of tribute can naturally overcome all the unhappiness in Fuzhou City..."
"Impossible! My father will never..."
Geng Jingzhong screamed, then suppressed the sound in his throat and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Because he suddenly found that when the other party said this, he could no longer think of any reason to refute. After all, without the Jingnan feudal town, the names of King Jingnan and the crown prince would be nothing but a joke.
Which one is more important and which one is less important is clear at a glance.
This may be what the people in front of me call "completely crazy" - I would even give up my own son for the sake of the feudal clan. Think about it carefully, what will happen once the feudal clan is cut off?!
Geng Jingzhong is like falling into an ice cave.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much. When the two sides were confronting each other, I saw that the time was right and came out to speak out. After convincing others with virtue, both sides agreed to withdraw their troops and return to their respective positions."
Jiang Wen patted his shoulder. Under the flickering lights, his face looked ever-changing, like a ghost.
"In order to make a name for myself during the fight, I used your name, the crown prince. Prince Geng has been living in the palace for a long time, and there is no news. It seems that some soldiers mistakenly thought that my behavior of stalking the cicada, stalking the oriole, was also Prince Geng's.
An act of instruction..."
Jiang Wen paused for a moment. At this time, firelight was shining outside the house, and footsteps were approaching in a hurry. There seemed to be countless people surrounding the prince's mansion, but they all held their breaths in unison.
Geng Jingzhong's heart beat in his throat, blood rushed into his fragile and tense brain, and a strong sense of dizziness hit him, making him unable to even maintain his sitting position and about to fall to the corner.
But as Jiang Wen stretched out his hand to support him, Geng Jingzhong felt a warm current rushing into his body. The fatigue all over his body was reduced a bit, but the tension and urgency still overwhelmed his mind.
"Generals Zeng, Xu, and Bai heard the news and led their troops to the Crown Prince's Mansion overnight. The royal soldiers probably wanted to atone for their crimes, but they did not stop their courage. At this moment, everyone thought that the Crown Prince was about to be released and return to his high position.
I am very worried about having offended you."
Jiang Wen pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, "Thinking about it now, he should have already reached the gate, right? Even though the prince is rich in gold, he should go out and greet him a little bit, right?"
Thanks to the complexity of the intertwined conspiracies, Jiang Wen's well-timed hints unleashed astonishing power - four taels can move a thousand catties, let alone two thousand two hundred catties?
Geng Jingzhong stood up unsteadily, seeming to have been freed from great joy and sorrow.
He bent down with difficulty to pick up the water bag and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Wen smiled slightly, stepped forward and said the last words to him, then watched him tie his scattered hair behind his head and push open the door of the house with one bare foot.
The firelight was dazzling and their armors were flashing. The three people at the front lined up in a line with shameful faces. The people behind them also showed no signs of tiredness. They were fully equipped to guard Geng Jingzhong's crown prince's residence, and the small courtyard was well protected.
Geng Jingzhong stood at the door, feeling that the scene in front of him was like a dream, as if he had just experienced a nightmare. In the dream, he was depressed, frustrated, annoyed, and painful, but when he woke up, everything he had lost came back.
The young prince tried his best to keep his face straight and looked at the three confidants in front of him.
There was not much time left for him to enjoy it. His father had ordered that he would never see guests after nightfall, but once morning came and the troops entered the house, this wonderful misunderstanding would be shattered and dissipated like dewdrops in the morning.
Geng Jingzhong may be the only person in this huge city of Fuzhou who doesn't want to see the dawn.
The three commanders silently followed Geng Jingzhong, who was stumbling forward. The torches of his soldiers merged into a fire dragon in the night, and they followed Geng Jingzhong towards the depths of the palace. In the crowd, they also
We did indeed see the man who appeared by the West Lake - although the three of them were ordered to think about it, their spies never stopped.
The spies invariably reported back a bizarre story about a strike near the West Lake.
The spies said that a master under the crown prince appeared, lifted up the cast-iron rhinoceros that crushed three people to death in the lake, and threw it ten feet away. It happened to fall between the soldiers confronting Dasu and Geng Jimao, shocking him.
The whole place was occupied.
What surprised both sides was not only the unexpectedness, but also the inscription on the iron rhinoceros that was cast to suppress water. It was still clearly visible after countless years. It read: "Cast rhinoceros to suppress the sea eye, in August of the fourth year of Baoda."
The casting supervisor checked the Wenhui engraving stone and found that it weighed two thousand two hundred kilograms."
They figured it out at that time, since Prince Geng hid such a master next to his son, then the so-called abdication and sacrifice was definitely a trick to confuse the enemy, and it was not too late to make up for it himself!
Geng Jingzhong walked forward step by step, and what Jiang Wen just said was still lingering in his mind. He did not dare to forget it for a moment, because his last way out was in it.
This sentence sounds simple, but it makes people tremble with fear when saying it. In a few quarters of an hour, it may become the beginning of his infamy for thousands of years. The Taoist behind him is wearing a Taoist robe, but like an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld, he lets go with great ease.
He accepted the view that father kills son and son forces father.
Although that man was calm and gentle, Geng Jingzhong knew that the world had driven him completely crazy and turned him into a monstrous beast coming from the sky.
That's a real lunatic.
But he didn't want to die, so he had to stand in front of his father and say those words in the calmest and most matter-of-fact tone.
