Chapter 780: Confiscating the house and destroying the family
Zhennanbo Mansion
The atmosphere in a courtyard is very different from that in the front. People were coming and going in the front, but it was extremely quiet inside. This was because the prince of the uncle's house was ill again and could not be disturbed.
The prince of the house was sitting in the corridor under the tree, looking into the distance, silently lost in thought.
Although Xie Zhenqing is now the eldest son of the uncle's house, he has no official position and has not ascended the title. Therefore, he is not qualified to attend the grandson's canonization ceremony.
Hearing the sound of ceremonial guards in the distance, I walked out of the courtyard and stood near the gate to look.
At this time, several people were chatting and talking under the palace lantern at the door. When they saw Xie Zhenqing coming, they quickly stepped away and bowed: "I have met the crown prince."
Xie Zhenqing glanced at it and saw that there were incense tables neatly arranged at the door like other houses. The difference was that there were mountains of dried and fresh fruits. Lao Gao just smiled and said, "Has the honor guard arrived for the grandson?"
"We're coming soon. In fact, we have already bypassed the main road and come back. Our uncle's house is not on the route, but he is also in the ceremonial guard, so he is slightly off the next road and does not pass directly. He can be seen at the intersection."
"Coming!" someone shouted.
Everyone looked over and could still faintly hear the sound of bells and drums, but the music was much softer. Yellow umbrellas and flags covered the sky and the sun, and the retinue was nearby.
"Look, Your Majesty, my uncle is inside."
Taisun Chengyu passed by, and those who followed him saw that it was King Zhong, Sheng Guogong, and Yin Tanping of Shuntian Prefecture. They were all supporting him on the left and right. They walked slowly around the charioteer, and among them was Zhennanbo.
Uncle Zhennan was dressed in formal clothes, shining brightly in the cold sun, with a proud look on his face. It was obvious that he was very honored to have this job.
Not only Zhennan Bo, but also everyone in the family seemed to have a common prosperity.
A smile flashed across Xie Zhenqing's face, and he nodded in agreement, but his eyes sparkled.
"Your great grandson, this is how you always behave."
Seeing the majestic Zhen'anbo in normal times, he felt so honored to be serving as a retinue. He couldn't help but sigh to himself. As he watched the ceremonial guard pass by, his ears were filled with the voices of people talking about the fact that King Dai was enthroned as his grandson. To this day,
Some people are still shocked.
After all, although King Dai is the grandson of the emperor and the son of the prince, he does not have a deep foundation in the capital. As a result, the emperor passed over the two adult princes, King Qi and King Shu, and appointed the grandson of the emperor who had just been found a few years ago as the crown prince.
.
This makes people feel that the emperor loves his grandson too much!
Especially when thinking about the tragic death of the prince's family that year, although many people think that the emperor and grandson are orthodox, the emperor is not worried that the emperor and grandson have a grudge about this matter and will settle old scores in the future?
However, no matter what outsiders think, with the official conclusion of the registration ceremony, Taisun's ceremonial guard has already circled the capital. In this situation that "the matter is over", no matter how many thoughts he has, he can only think in his heart.
"Ahem!" Xie Zhenqing was also lost in thought. As a result, his throat suddenly felt itchy and he couldn't help coughing twice. This sudden cough made his eyelids twitch slightly.
He wiped it with a handkerchief, and after taking it away, he lowered his eyes and saw the blood in the handkerchief.
Is this a backlash? It’s not just once, it’s subtle.
No matter how many exercises and practices you practice, it will be difficult to resist.
"But I succeeded after all and attracted the emperor's heart."
"The emperor supports his great-grandson and nurtures him until the melon is ripe and the stems fall off. Then he can use his great-grandson's heart and medicine as he did twenty years ago."
"But, will it go as expected?"
"It's okay to change your destiny once, but twice..."
Is Heaven's will for dead people? Can it tolerate the emperor's deception over and over again?
Doesn’t the emperor understand? No, he is the emperor, so he understands very thoroughly. If someone deceives the emperor, no matter how much merit or affection he has, it will be of no use.
Not to mention more than once.
But the emperor was willing to take risks and risk backlash to do this. Why?
Longevity is touching!
Once you have a successful example, you want to do it a second time, a third time, or even countless times.
Lend another five hundred years to heaven?
Xie Zhenqing had a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Ji Zicheng, you are just a small patrol in the county. You are nothing more than a poisonous insect at best. Even if you have the current situation, you are just clearing the way for the real dragon. Can you control the wind and rain?
It was you who swore to lend me the luck of the demon clan, and you were able to take the first step, step by step, and finally conquer the world.
But after you conquered the world, you immediately turned against me. Not only did you not give me the fair share of the demon clan, you also immediately suppressed the demon clan and executed the generals.
You are very powerful. You would rather fight back and die suddenly than draw a clear line.
But your son doesn't have the backbone you have.
"Is immortality so easy to get?"
"Why did Taoist Huaihui use the prince's heart to make elixirs? How did he know and how did he get the elixir? Don't you want to think about it?"
"I gave it to you secretly to make you disobey your destiny."
Xie Zhenqing couldn't help but smile ferociously when he thought of this.
"I thought I was going against God's will and was about to be punished by heaven. I didn't expect that Da Zheng had three hundred years of reign, but he still withstood it - no, he still suffered more disaster."
"Originally, the power of the Wei Dynasty was exhausted, but because the emperor disobeyed God's will, there was another chance." If Xie Zhenqing realized something: "It's just that the country's foundation is too strong, so it's not obvious."
"But if it happens again, I am afraid that I will be punished by God and have nothing to pray for."
"As for me, the demon tribe, only when Dazheng dies in its prime can I tear off the biggest piece and change this destiny."
Xie Zhenqing sighed softly in her heart, stopped looking, and slowly turned around and went back.
"This body is dying. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to use up the maximum value. Hey, grandson, I can help you up in secret, and I can also pull you down."
"Even if Dazheng is punished by heaven, it will be difficult for him to die instantly. The remaining energy must return to others."
"That's King Qi. I might as well invest again to see if King Qi is as strong as you, Taizu Zheng, and dares to risk his life to break up?"
Thinking of this, Xie Zhenqing smiled and coughed heavily.
Prince Qi's Mansion
To the north of the west corridor, there is a small courtyard. There are a few bamboos in the courtyard. There are not many. If there are more, it will be cold. A few bamboos will make it appear quiet. However, there is a medicinal fragrance in the courtyard, and some people are gently working on it.
He took the medicine and did not dare to make any noise to disturb King Qi.
A heavy breathing sounded in the bedroom. King Qi was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, a little haggard and thin, his face was so pale that there was no blood, and his face was a little ferocious, as if he was dreaming.
King Qi was indeed dreaming. King Qi, who did not know that he was dreaming, found himself standing on the steps of the front yard of the palace.
"Woo——"
The misty rain quietly appeared on the steps, the cold rain mixed with the mist, the sound of horns broke the silence, and then the footsteps cascaded upwards. Armored soldiers appeared in the rain, with long bright red tassels on their heads, flashing faintly in the middle of the night.
Light, thousands of people showed up.
These people were all wearing armor, and their bodies were filled with thick evil aura, shining coldly in the night.
Looking at these armored soldiers, King Qi felt cold all over, and fear almost grabbed his heart, making him unable to breathe.
"Bold! This is Prince Qi's Mansion, how dare you break in!" Prince Qi seemed to realize something, but didn't want to believe it. He held the sword on his waist and glared at the intruders.
The general of the intruder was Miao Xuwen, the commander of the Jinwu Guards whom King Qi had met. He only obeyed his father's orders. At this moment, facing his own prince, he also looked calm and indifferent when he was being questioned by the prince.
And following Miao Xuwen was the now powerful eunuch, Ma Deshun!
"Your Highness the King of Qi, I have been offended. The Emperor has an edict, and the King of Qi has a disobedient heart. The crime lies with the country. The family should be confiscated and all the families should be confiscated, leaving no one behind!"
