Chapter 1223 Where is the Nine Serene Underground?
Blacksmiths eat a lot, so Huang Damei prepared mutton for King Wei every day, plus various kinds of pasta. Over time, she was able to eat enough meat.【】
As my son grew up, three-year-old Li Chang was playing in the backyard, chasing chickens and chasing dogs, doing everything he could.
Sister Huang was busy in the kitchen when she heard the noise and shouted: "Da Lang, stay away from the water tank!"
"Oh!" Li Chang replied, but quietly approached the water tank.
There are some big fish in the water tank that Huang Damei bought the day before yesterday. The newly bought fish are not clean, so Huang Damei plans to keep them in the water tank for a few days and vomit out the dirt in their stomachs before eating them.
The water tank was not very high, so Li Chang lay on the edge, leaned his little body in, and reached out to catch the fish.
The fish seemed dull, but when his little hand approached, he ran away quickly.
Li Chang became furious and leaned in further. As soon as he reached out, his body slid uncontrollably into the water tank.
His eyes widened, and just as he was about to scream, someone lifted him up.
"Aye!"
King Wei hugged his son and frowned: "Why are you catching fish?"
Li Chang said: "My mother-in-law often said that Ah Ye worked hard and I caught fish for Ah Ye to eat."
King Wei said: "I understand."
He is not good at expressing affection, that is, reaching out to touch his son's cheek.
Li Chang begged, "Aye, catch one!"
"good!"
King Wei agreed, and Li Chang clapped his hands happily, "I'll get the bag!"
"No need."
King Wei stretched out his hand, and the water splashed. When he came back, he caught a fish in his hand.
Li Chang looked at his father blankly, clapped his hands and said, "Aye, you are so awesome!"
“And catch fish!”
Sister Huang came out with an earthen pot and said, "It's time to eat."
The dish is a clay pot of mutton stew, plus a plate of stewed vegetables.
King Wei ate leisurely, but after several pieces of cake, Huang Damei only ate half of the cake.
Aye is so awesome... Li Chang felt that his father was awesome at everything, even eating with such extraordinary momentum.
After dinner, Sister Huang said: "It is said outside that His Majesty is going to choose a crown prince! It is said that the King of Yue is going to enter the East Palace. Poor King Wei, I am afraid he will be unlucky this time."
King Wei stretched out his hand to wipe off some crumbs from the corner of his son's mouth and said, "It's time to pay homage to my father-in-law."
Sister Huang said: "But it's too far."
"You have to go even if it's far away!"
King Wei stood up and said, "But don't make it public."
"Can you really go back?" Huang Damei was delighted, "But what about the blacksmith shop business?"
"You take the children and go first. I'll finish the rest of the things here and then I'll chase you."
King Wei stood up and said, "When the time comes, I will find a reliable caravan for you to follow."
…
The king of Yue went to find the father of the country.
"Your Majesty wants both sides to take action," the abbot said.
"Ah!" King Yue was startled, "Do it? Who do you do it to?"
The abbot said quietly: "Your Majesty needs a handle, do you understand?"
"You mean, Aye wants me to... take action against the second brother?" King Yue's eyes widened.
"Why, you don't want to?" asked the abbot.
"That's my brother after all!" King Yue looked confused.
"I like you who obviously want to kill your brother, but you still pretend that you can't bear it." The abbot said with a smile: "You have tolerated it for many years, and the East Palace has been empty for many years. Now the world's situation is about to change. Isn't your Majesty the best? He wants to establish a prince, but he doesn’t want me to get close to you anymore. He’s worried! I regard you as a pawn. Do you understand?”
The King of Yue was stunned, "Ayeh..."
"What do you think he wants to do?" The head of state smiled and said: "He has always wanted to suppress the family members, but he has failed. Now the opportunity has come. As long as Northern Xinjiang is defeated, he will have hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands to suppress the situation. A noble family. At that time, if I take you far away and make you emperor, what do you think he will do?"
The King of Yue looked pale, "Aye, do you want to take action?"
"He has endured for half his life, and seems to be very close to me and others, but in fact he hates me to the core. Do you think he is doing it for the sake of the common people or for something else?" asked the abbot.
The King of Yue said: "For the sake of the world!"
"No!" the abbot said coldly: "It's just for power!"
The King of Yue was silent, looking a little sad.
"But this is an opportunity." The father-in-law said: "Once you can take over the East Palace, I can bring the family members to support you. Your Majesty has a large army. But do you think there are no men of ours in the army?
Once I exert my strength, I can pull out at least hundreds of thousands of troops behind me.
If he doesn't care about Chang'an, then what do I care? Break Chang'an to pieces, break Guanzhong to pieces, break the world to pieces..."
The King of Yue looked at his grandfather and shook his head slightly. "Can't we each take a step back?"
"What do you think power is?" the abbot sneered, "I was afraid that speaking out about the things your father did for power would dirty his mouth and dirty the ears of the world."
The King of Yue sighed, "What should we do now?"
The abbot said: "This matter can't be done openly, but it can't be done secretly either. You need to let the people of Chang'an know that you and King Wei are sworn in. Then take action.
This is a handhold. So what if he takes it? King Wei is dead, and King Jing is a naughty man. If he has the ability, he will imitate He Lianfeng. All his children and grandchildren will die, and only his daughter will survive. In a few years, that daughter will die.
, he can’t even eat pig meat.”
The King of Yue lowered his head, "Does it have to be like this?"
"I'm very pleased that you can pretend!" The father-in-law patted him on the shoulder, "Remember, if a superior person wants to pretend, he must pretend it for the rest of his life, otherwise, his reputation will be ruined!"
The King of Yue left the imperial city and said, "Go to that alley."
In the alley, Sister Huang walked out from the other end with a basket on her back and her son in hand.
King Wei stood outside the blacksmith shop, watching his wife and children go away.
Turning around, he saw the King of Yue.
"I have no desire to kill your wife and children!" said the King of Yue.
King Wei went into the blacksmith's shop, put the knife blank into the fire, and started to blow the bellows.
"You also understand what Aye means." The King of Yue sat next to him, "He has been patient for many years, and once he became proud, he wanted to change the situation in the court. The first one to do it is the position of the prince."
"Isn't that yours?" King Wei said.
"You also know?" King Yue said with a smile.
"I have never cared about the position of prince."
King Wei took out the knife blank, placed it on the iron felt, and struck it with a sledgehammer.
Clang clang clang!
The King of Yue leaned back slightly and looked at him, "Let's go!"
"Is the father-in-law's person waiting for me halfway?" King Wei asked.
Clang clang clang!
Sparks flew everywhere.
"I said, you are alone, you are not a threat!" said the King of Yue.
"Yeah?"
"I swear!" The King of Yue raised his hands solemnly.
King Wei looked at him and nodded for a long time, "That's fine."
The King of Yue quietly walked out of the alley.
Later, someone was sent to inform the state leader.
"The king said that the road has been rough recently!"
The head of state nodded, "I understand."
Looking back, he said to his staff: "From the moment the Chang'an army set off, King Wei was a dead man."
The staff member laughed and said: "People say that tigers are poisonous and cannot eat their children. Your Majesty has used King Wei for many years, and now you are ready to kill him. I have never understood why he wanted to give birth to his son in the first place since he regarded him as an enemy.
come out?"
Then the staff felt that this question was a bit disrespectful and was suspected of smearing the queen, so they quickly apologized.
There was a look of disdain in the country's abbot's eyes, "He just can't control his crotch!"
…
Sister Huang got on a carriage and followed the caravan out of Chang'an City.
The businessman was very polite and said that after many years of friendship with Li Er, he told Huang and her son to just ask for anything they wanted.
The businessman calls himself Ding Nanshun. His skin is paler than that of Sister Huang, his voice is slightly shrill, his smile is very kind, and he loves Li Chang very much.
"Then let's hug each other!" Neighbors hug each other's children. This is not a problem, but a way to express closeness.
But Ding Nanshun waved his hand, "Don't dare!"
There's something weird about this guy!
Therefore, Sister Huang was cautious, put the horizontal knife she carried with her beside her, got a cloth belt, and said to Li Chang: "If someone makes trouble, my mother will carry you on her back. You can't watch, you know?"
"oh!"
Li Chang was quite excited.
…
Chang'an.
King Wei went to the palace to ask for an audience.
"What are you here for?"
The emperor looked indifferent, as if he was the naughty kid from next door.
"Sanlang did too much, I can't help but want to take action!" King Wei raised his head with a sharp look in his eyes.
This is what the emperor wants you to do!
Han Shitou lowered his head, his eyes full of joy.
Kill it!
Kill!
The more you kill, the better!
It is best to imitate He Lianfeng and kill all species.
The roots are broken!
The remaining two are left to the Duke for revenge.
The emperor said quietly: "Stubborn!"
Two words!
King Wei resigned.
Then the news came.
"The King of Wei severely wounded the guards of the King of Yue in the street."
This is not enough!
Han Shitou sneered in his heart.
King Wei went to Prince Yue's Mansion.
"You're here."
The king of Yue was waiting at home.
"Actually, I have always looked down on you!"
King Wei said: "You are the legitimate son of the queen. You know that Aye cannot depose the queen, so why are you pretending? The prince is gone, and you are the only legitimate son of him. If the queen cannot be deposed, how can the crown prince's position be left aside? As long as you show up If you have some talents, you can at least make him jealous. This is a fight. But you pretend to be weak and let Yang Song take the lead, which is embarrassing!"
"I am your son!" said the King of Yue.
"But he doesn't regard you as his son, and you don't regard him as Aye!" King Wei said: "Since he regards you as his enemy, your forbearance will only make people look down upon him!"
"Are you done?" King Yue was not angry.
"That's it." King Wei raised his hand.
With just one slap, half of the Yue King's face was swollen.
"roll!"
Several guards rushed forward and were knocked away by King Wei.
He just walked out of Prince Yue's Mansion in a swaggering manner.
Subsequently, King Wei broke into the Yue Prince's Mansion and the news spread that he seriously injured the Yue Prince.
King Wei returned to the blacksmith shop.
Chief Ding is waiting for him.
"Your Majesty, let's go!" Ding sighed: "Your Majesty wants to settle the general accounts. When the news of the defeat of Northern Xinjiang comes, I don't know how many people will die in Chang'an."
King Wei picked up a jar of wine, took a sip, and said, "Everyone thought he hated Yang Xuan and Northern Xinjiang to the core, but who knew that he wanted to use this to take down the Chang'an guards and the Southern Xinjiang army. "
Ding Chang was stunned, "Is this so?"
"He needs a target, and Northern Xinjiang is it." King Wei gave a rare smile, "Back then, he doted on his mother, but she didn't understand. When the queen tried to harm her, but I blocked her, she was furious and immediately made a fuss in the harem. .
Then Aye took action and suppressed the queen's power. I knew then that there were no enemies in his eyes, only power. Everyone was a chess piece and a target in his hands!"
Ding Chang was horrified, "Terrible!"
"He was able to initiate palace changes twice because of power. After he ascended the throne, the family became bigger and bigger. He wanted to suppress it but was unable to do so, so he tolerated it. He has been making plans for these years, and everyone thought he was checking and balancing
But the check and balance was just a false shot. His real purpose was to get the Chang'an guards and the Southern Xinjiang army. To this end, he indulged Northern Xinjiang and Yang Xuan. Did you know that when Yang Xuan came to Chang'an for the last time, he thought
Than kill him."
"Isn't he afraid of the Northern Xinjiang Army's rebellion?"
King Wei shook his head. "In his eyes, the country and the country are also chess pieces. As long as he can get power, he can give it to him, not to mention northern Xinjiang, but also southern Xinjiang."
Ding Chang took a deep breath.
"How many people are staring at me outside at this moment? Let's go, where are we going?" King Wei took a sip of wine and said, "Chang'an, very good!"
…
In the past few days, the palace was filled with memorials to impeach King Wei, and the emperor sent people to scold King Wei.
"Why is Erlang so impulsive!" Concubine Shu was very anxious.
Yu Nan said: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that your Majesty has always been like this."
Concubine Shu sighed: "But when is this? His Majesty said he wanted to establish a prince. This is to put Erlang on the fire and roast him. If he fights at this time, isn't he passing the blame to others? Eh!"
Concubine Shu suddenly looked slightly cold and said, "Go and tell me that I miss Erlang."
…
"That traitor!"
The emperor said coldly.
Han Shitou heard some familiar smells.
It was this aura that the emperor had before he prepared to kill the prince.
In the blacksmith shop, King Wei just refused a business deal.
"Is this not going to happen?" the guest asked.
"I'm tired and want to take a rest." King Wei handed a hoe to the guest and said, "This is the last piece of business."
The guest pointed to the formed horizontal knife and asked, "What about this one?"
"For my own use."
The horizontal sword is wide and looks intimidating.
The guest suddenly laughed and said, "You want to put this knife outside the door as a sign!"
"Um!"
King Wei responded calmly.
Clang clang clang!
laugh!
Steam rises.
Next comes sharpening.
Sharpen the knife overnight.
Early morning of the second day.
Chief Ding is here.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
"knew."
King Wei inserted the giant sword into the special scabbard, held it with one hand, and said: "Everyone who needs to go, go."
"yes!"
King Wei looked at him and said, "You too."
Ding Chang smiled and said: "Wherever the king goes, I will go!"
"Where is Jiuyou Underground?" King Wei looked up at him.
