The weather in summer is like a baby's face, ever-changing.
In the morning, the sky was clear and clear, with a blue sky like indigo, but in the afternoon there was a thunderstorm, and after that, the temperature did not drop at all, and the hot and dry weather became even more 'suffocating'.
The clouds in the sky are also gloomy, just like Yu Shaoan's mood at the moment, gloomy and heavy.
"Ah, it turns out to be the Seventh Young Master, please come in!" The concierge who opened the door of Zhu Mansion saw Yu Shaoan, and his face smiled even brighter. He opened the door and invited people into Zhu Mansion.
There is no glamor and wealth, simplicity is the main color of Zhu's house. The more Yu Shaoan walked inside, the more depressed his emotions became. He was really capable. He discovered such important news, instead of reporting it to his family immediately, he
Arrive at Zhu’s house…
Although he had chosen Zhu Biao as his first cooperation target when he first started his career, he never thought of betraying the family's interests at that time. But now? Things are unpredictable. In just a few months, the situation of the Northern Han Dynasty has changed.
The general situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Even the originally strong and unshakable Lihou family seems to have become less strong. Otherwise, why would I be here now? Otherwise, how could the situation in which the Yibei Houfu originally overwhelmed the Zhu family become more and more difficult?
Is there any sign that the Beihou Mansion 'depends' on the Zhu family?
Yu Shaoan knew the reason for everything. The stability of the position of the prince family was due to the stability of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the stability of the Northern Han Dynasty relied entirely on the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty behind it. This is a 'domino', starting with
As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty stood firm in the Central Plains and did not fall, the Northern Han Dynasty, as a direct clan by marriage, would never have to think about extinction.
But now, the superiors are saying that the "Five Kings Rebellion" of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to start again, and it happens to include the Tang Dynasty King who controls more than a million powerful troops in northern Xinjiang, and his old king happens to be an "orthodox stream"
, a firm supporter of the prince.
The foundation of the Northern Han Dynasty was shaken like this. The status of the princes and families whose interests were attached to the big tree of the Northern Han Dynasty was naturally shaken even more violently, so much so that Zhu Biao, who directly commanded 20,000 fine cavalry, had to be replaced.
The military general held him high.
"Alas, the world is in trouble. Who would have thought that the situation would change so drastically?" And what makes the troubled times even more evil is...
"What?!" Zhu Biao screamed in disbelief in the study. His heart was beating like a hammer beating a drum, and he couldn't stop.
"Brother-in-law, everything I said is true. That is really the prince!" The playful and disrespectful air that Yu Shaoan usually wore on his face has been completely buried in the sadness and heaviness.
The country was in crisis, and the capital was tense. It seemed as if it was about to explode. And the prince, who had been missing for many years, suddenly appeared outside the mountains of Nancheng. No matter how he looked at it, Yu Shaoan felt that the 'hand' behind his back was...
Adding fuel to the fire!
"What a thief! They are unwilling to mess up my government affairs!"
"How many people saw the prince's appearance? How could they recognize it was the prince?"
…………
Shi Yiqing left his small courtyard and walked straight to Funing Palace. As soon as he stepped into the confines of his nest, he would immediately become humble, with a humble look on his face, and a slight smile.
Qi Rong. This shows that he is very worried about the condition of the King of Han.
Because there are important ministers in the palace today, in order to avoid encountering the prime ministers and princes of the two palaces and attracting attention. A thief has the mentality of doing bad things or planning to do bad things, and always does not want to be noticed. Shi Yiqing
I deliberately walked through the small door to rush to Funing Palace. Unexpectedly, I entered the cross street in front of Funing Palace through the small door and bumped into the princess's carriage.
Shi Yiqing groaned secretly in his heart, but at the same time he respectfully went to say hello with a hint of flattery, but he heard the Crown Princess ask directly, "Are you chewing your tongue in front of the King?"
Shi Yiqing was shocked. Who would be so bold? Dare to openly speak ill of the East Palace at this time? Or in front of the king?
He smiled hurriedly and cautiously tried: "Princess, I can't understand you..."
"Hmph! The king's illness obviously improved yesterday. If you hadn't been stirring up trouble on the sidelines, how could it suddenly get worse again?" Yun Qin wished she could poke Shi Yiqing's forehead with her finger. She didn't really suspect that Shi Yiqing was up to something, but
He blamed Shi Yiqing for not keeping the door tight, and sternly reprimanded, "Don't let me find out that you are involved. Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you this unruly slave!"
"What did the Crown Princess say?!" Shi Yiqing's voice was trembling, and his body was also trembling.
"I have asked the imperial physician that the king's condition took a turn for the worse in the morning and afternoon. The imperial physician said that it was caused by a sudden excitement. What a vicious thought!" Although Yun Qin was glaring at Shi Yiqing fiercely, his anger was more directed at that unknown person.
location.
It's a pity that everyone in Funing Palace is the same, they are all the confidants of the old Han King. Even if she is the crown prince, she can't ask the reason, let alone ask by force.
"It's unjust, Princess, and this old slave is wronged. Even if I have 10,000 courages, I don't dare to say nonsense in front of the king at this time!"
"Old slave, you are unjust!" Shi Yiqing burst into tears. He really did not dare to say anything about the outside world. Although he had already boarded the second prince's ship, he still believed that he was absolutely loyal to the King of Han. "Prince
Concubine, how is the king now?"
Yun Qin stared at Shi Yiqing fiercely, and after a while, he put away his stern expression, "Don't let me know that you are the one who is doing this, otherwise I will cut you into pieces!" After that, he threw Shi Yiqing down.
, raised his hand and ordered the chariot to go to the East Palace.
Shi Yiqing looked at Yunqin's background and secretly speculated in his heart, who could it be? Did Ji Kun not only find himself, but also found someone else to do 'that job'?
No, this person cannot be kept. I must find him out first! "Only I am your [Ji Kun] answer in the palace!"
Funing Hall, dragon bed.
The old Ji Zhao was lying on the bed, looking so helpless.
This is not a new feeling. He has often felt this sense of powerlessness and helplessness in the past year or so since the Prince's case. But in the past year or so, that feeling has never been as strong as it is today, especially
At this moment, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of his life disappearing rapidly. It was like a river that was about to dry up and was about to drain out the last drop of water.
Is he about to reach the end of his life? As a monarch, he has to constantly consider what will happen after his death. Should he pass the throne to his young but well-qualified grandson, or to pass it on to an older but destined grandson?
A mediocre son?
He calculated everything rationally and weighed everything. In the end, he sadly discovered that his grandson's qualifications were not as good as he thought, and his four adult sons were even worse.
Today, they can make good friends with foreign countries and bow down to foreign countries for the sake of the throne. Then tomorrow, in order to secure the throne for themselves, they will be willing to accept foreign countries and be attached to foreign countries at all costs.
The king of the Tang Dynasty used his concubine to usurp his legitimate son, and his reputation was not justified! The Northern Han Dynasty had respected the imperial decree of the gods for five hundred years, how could it be possible that this generation would perish?
However, he never calculated that when life really comes to an end, he will be so lonely and painful, helpless and nostalgic.
Will he not be able to see his prince until his death? Ji Zhao's heart is as painful as a knife.
Therefore, after Li Fei's words, he immediately sent his companion who had accompanied him for most of his life, holding the King's Life Gold Medal, and asked him to find out at all costs.
Then, there was Concubine Li. How could a concubine in the palace know the news from outside so quickly? Did she become a fool because she thought she was going to die?
But I no longer want to use the knife anymore. The weak will eat the strong, so let them bite! In this case, if Donggong still can't seize the opportunity, it will be cleaner if they all die, and the Northern Han Dynasty will be completely destroyed.
Thousands of thoughts were running through his mind, but it was difficult for Ji Zhao to express it all in words. In the days before today, he had sadly realized that he was living in a piece of rotten wood.
, I didn’t even dare to speak loudly, for fear of damaging this completely decayed body!
If he wasn't worried about Beihan, he was actually looking forward to ending this life as soon as possible. He really couldn't stand the helplessness and incompetence that he could clearly feel - this feeling was a pain that was more torturous than illness.
.
He was the king of a country. He had supervised the government for decades and experienced two wars. How could he be so powerless? But at this moment, when the last moment of his life came, he suddenly became nostalgic.
He discovered that he had never been tired of life in his heart, and he was always full of hope and fighting spirit. Whether it was for himself or the country, he was actually very, very reluctant to leave.
If you can give the lonely king a little more time, if you can give the lonely king a little more time, you can survive the most difficult predicament in the 500 years since the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty...
This voice suddenly shouted loudly in his heart, surging out his last hopes and expectations. He almost prayed devoutly to the heaven he had never seen before: Oh God, just listen to the lonely king's plea.
!The lonely king wants to wait for the exact news of the prince, the lonely king wants to see his eldest grandson grow up in person, the lonely king wants to defeat the Hugou in the north and take back all the lost land, the lonely king wants to see the king of Tang be punished, and the rebel ministers beheaded!
But it was obvious that his desperate prayers could not get God's response and recognition. Of course, they all fell into the sea without any response. But this made Ji Zhao suddenly feel an indescribable sadness, and the big hand of fate completely strangled him.
It grabbed his throat, and endless despair devoured his mind like a poisonous snake. Fortunately, there was still the hope of the prince, which maintained his last will to survive.
=================Separating line================
The prince appeared in the south of the city. Before dark, the news swept through the ears of all the upper classes in Beiping City like the wind. The lower class people were far from dispersed, but a deeper breath settled in everyone's chests.
It was so stressful that some people couldn't breathe.
"Bah!" The tea cup in his hand fell to the ground. Yun Qin looked at his father in disbelief, "Is he really...the prince?"
