The five hundred and sixtieth chapters are proud of the spring breeze
"Everyone outside is saying that His Highness is the True Dragon Emperor!" In the Shu Palace, two maids were doing their work while whispering something.
"I've also heard that there seems to be a talking white fox and a stone tablet dug out of the river. There's a lot of buzz outside. I heard it from others when I went shopping today."
The two maids chatted in low voices, unaware that a figure was already standing behind them.
"Cough." At a certain moment, the King of Shu coughed lightly.
The two maids turned around in a hurry, their faces instantly turned pale, and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life!"
"Is this king that scary?" A smile appeared on King Shu's face. He seemed to be in a good mood. He waved his hands and said, "You two are good. Go down and receive the reward yourself!"
Until King Shu limped away, the two maids were still kneeling on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.
His Highness usually doesn't like people talking behind his back, and he even had a servant in the palace beaten to death because of this. Why did he suddenly change his temper today? Could it be that he took the wrong medicine?
Regardless of whether His Highness took the wrong medicine, he was not punished and hurriedly got up from the ground. As for the reward, how could his own life be more important?
All the servants in Prince Shu's Mansion could feel that His Highness was in a good mood today. He was even humming a tune while walking. This was simply a spectacle that the Prince's Mansion had not seen in several years.
"It's rare to encounter a great thing. Today, all the servants in the mansion will be rewarded!"
The King of Shu gave instructions to the housekeeper of the palace and planned to go out of the palace to take a look in person.
The last time he was inexplicably scapegoated, it really made him depressed for several days. However, it didn't take long for things to turn around. In the past two days, people's calls for him to ascend to the throne of God were very loud. Compared with the ridicule and suspicion in the previous days.
What does it matter?
"Could it be that even God is helping me?"
Not long after, he was sitting in a sedan chair, listening to people occasionally talking about something on the street, and the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Is that position still far away from what the people want?
At this moment, he seemed to feel that he had reached the peak.
…
"What, His Highness is not here?" More than ten ministers gathered outside the gate of Prince Shu's palace. They frowned at the same time after hearing what the palace concierge said.
At this time, His Highness is not here. What is he thinking?
The Yushitai has jointly signed a letter to impeach His Highness for disrupting government affairs and confusing people's hearts. I am afraid that what will happen next is His Majesty's thunderous wrath. At this time, he is not in the palace?
Isn’t his foot injury still healed?
"Go to the Qin Mansion!" They were not the capital's edicts, nor were they censors. Naturally, they got the news much later than the other party. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, they immediately united and approached the King of Shu to discuss countermeasures. However, they did not
I thought it would come up empty.
Time could no longer be delayed. Someone made a decisive decision and made an immediate decision.
At this time, in the Qin Mansion, Prime Minister Qin looked at a withered old tree in the courtyard and murmured: "This is heart-breaking!"
"Who did this?" behind him, an official said angrily.
"Stupid, simply stupid, this is harming His Highness!"
Everything that happened in Kyoto in the past two days seemed to be to build momentum for the King of Shu, but in fact it was to flatter and kill him. Although His Highness could unite the people's hearts in a short period of time, how could His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty tolerate such a thing?
If His Majesty is dying, this would naturally be an excellent method. However, the current situation is turbulent and it is the time when the people's hearts need to be stabilized. Your Majesty and the courtiers have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with His Majesty. To launch it early is tantamount to digging your own grave.
What makes them even more desperate is that for some reason, these rumors spread at an alarmingly fast speed, leaving them no time to react at all.
The white fox offering auspicious gifts, the stone tablet in the river, and folk songs almost lifted the King of Shu to the altar. The higher he was held, the harder he fell. The censors on the censorship stage were already crazy, and the memorials from all the officials were flying like snowflakes.
I went to Shangshu Province, and even Prime Minister Qin didn’t dare to suppress today’s matter...
It has to be said that this was an extremely stupid move. However, the most helpless thing is that the person behind the scenes is most likely a supporter of His Highness, or His Highness himself...
Although they can't pull off such a stupid move, Your Highness - it's really not certain.
In the situation before his eyes, His Highness was really being roasted on the fire.
A look of helplessness appeared on one person's face and he said: "For the current plan, we can only ask His Highness to go to the palace in person to plead guilty and express his attitude. Your Majesty may be able to treat him leniently. After all, His Majesty's health is not as good as before. For the sake of stability in the court, he will not
Punish Your Highness severely..."
"You're right, let's go to the palace immediately, otherwise, it will be too late!"
"What, Your Highness is not here?" A moment later, many people stopped in shock outside the Shu Prince's Mansion. At the same moment, in a restaurant somewhere in Kyoto, His Highness the King of Shu, who was proud of the spring breeze, clinked glasses with a group of young people at the table and laughed: "
I'm in a good mood today, and all expenses are my own!"
…
…
"Jing Guoxing, Xian is crowned king... The true dragon should be the eldest son Xian, and he will transform into a dragon when encountering the storm..." Emperor Jing's face turned red, his breathing became rapid, and he swept down a thick stack of memorials on the table.
He put his hand on his chest and said angrily: "You bastard, I'm not dead yet, are you so impatient already!"
"Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is in danger!" Chang De looked panicked and put a hand on Emperor Jing's back. The true energy in his body was circulating. After a while, Emperor Jing's breathing gradually calmed down.
Emperor Jing touched his chest a few times and asked in a weak voice: "What happened to the white fox and the stone tablet? Who is behind it, have you found out?"
Changde immediately said: "Your Majesty, that white fox is just an ordinary fox. The reason why those people heard it speaking human words must be because someone imitated it through ventriloquism. And that stone tablet, for a skilled stonemason, it is difficult to make it look old.
It’s not difficult…”
He pondered for a moment and then spoke again: "As for the man behind the scenes, he just buried a stone tablet, had people imitate the fox's voice, and wrote a few ballads. He didn't have to do it himself, and the Secret Service had no way to do it.
Go check it out.”
Changde sighed. Such a low-cost, high-efficiency strategy gave people the impression that the other party had done something with a wave of his hand. The entire court, the entire Kyoto, and even the entire world were in chaos because of this... It was really
It makes people helpless.
However, it doesn't matter who the person behind the scenes is, because everyone knows his purpose.
In the past, Li Yi was blamed for a plot to murder a courtier's son, and later he spread rumors to build momentum for the King of Shu. Is there any need to guess who was behind the scenes?
"When the dragon comes out of Shu, the country of Jing will be prosperous!"
Emperor Jing's face was gloomy, he took a few deep breaths and said coldly: "In that case, let him stay in Shu honestly!"
Changde glanced at Emperor Jing who was already drafting an edict, and after a moment, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, Liu Yishou has found out something about the murder of the son of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites."
"Have you found out who is targeting Li Yi?" Emperor Jing asked lightly without raising his head.
"The more I do, the more I make mistakes, but the more I admire County Uncle Li."
Chang De sighed softly, then shook his head and said: "While investigating this case, I accidentally discovered some things that made new progress in the matter twenty years ago..."
Emperor Jing paused with the pen in his hand and slowly raised his head.
