Situ Wei said that he was indeed the son of King Jin, and the Queen Mother was so shocked that she could not move. After a long time, she held her crutch tightly and said slowly: "So, Mrs. Yin has been deceiving my old lady?"
Situ Wei smiled and said: "Aren't you always taking advantage of us? It's even."
The Queen Mother sneered and shouted: "Bring me back the edict." For a long time, no one moved. The Queen Mother struck the ground with her stick, "Didn't you hear? Bring me back the edict!"
The man who fed the poison said: "Mother Queen, I'm sorry, the one who signed the contract with us is the Fourth Highness."
The Queen Mother shouted: "The money is mine."
The man said: "We don't care where the money comes from, His Highness. He is the one who gave us the banknotes, and he is the one who signed the contract with us. We are employed by him, so we also obey his dispatches."
The King of Jin laughed again, pointed at the Queen Mother and said: "You, Lao Bai, have been busy for so many years, just to help the second son to ascend to the throne, and he is actually the son of the lonely king, hahaha..." The Queen Mother threw the crutch towards Situ Wei.
, Situ Wei dodged and dodged. The Queen Mother stood breathing heavily.
Situ Wei smiled and said softly: "Father, it's a good thing that I'm your biological son. I'm better than my second uncle's son, right?"
The King of Jin stopped laughing and said, "What do you think of Prince Gu making you the crown prince?"
"No." Situ Wei excused himself, "If you can be the prince, who will be the heir apparent?" King Jin choked. He continued, "Father, don't worry, your son will not kill his father or his brother. Brothers are not my opponents.
I don’t have to bother trying to touch them or bring about a bad reputation for myself. It’s just that I need to stay away from Mrs. Lin and stop harassing her.”
King Jin said angrily: "He actually betrayed the lonely king for a woman! That woman was originally from the Imperial City Department!"
"I know." Situ Wei said, "The Imperial City Division belongs to the Jin State. When I become the King of Jin, the entire Imperial City Division will be mine, so giving him a woman is nothing. Father, this matter is yours.
It’s not.”
"Why is it the solitary king's?"
"Mrs. Lin is from the Imperial City Division, and the eldest brother is the heir apparent. From the first time the eldest brother comes back to harass others, you should tell him clearly about this. Either transfer this girl to leave Lin Dongyang and give it to the eldest brother, or let the eldest brother recognize it.
In this situation, I went to the Lin family to apologize generously, saying that it was a misunderstanding that I had admitted the wrong person. But you actually refused to let your eldest brother know such closely related news, and you couldn't control him, and allowed him to make trouble for so long, only to make it happen now.
This situation." Situ Wei said seriously, "It is really my father's fault. My father is too guarded against others. Even a lonely person should have some basic trust."
The king of Jin hummed: "So, you are more suitable to be the leader of the Jin country than the lonely king?"
Situ Wei said generously: "That's right. As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. If you raise a good son, your father can retire in peace."
King Jin slapped the case: "How outrageous! Your father is not dead yet!"
Situ Wei smiled and said: "You have written the edict of abdication, the Supreme King."
Before King Jin could get angry, the little maid interjected again: "Oh, you guys are so unhappy. Is it so difficult to admit defeat? After being a prince for so many years, you are almost good enough. Your Highness the Fourth Highness is right.
It is better to give a bit to a son than to a nephew. Wouldn’t it be nice for a son to be stronger than me? My lord, you have to take the antidote every three months.”
The King of Jin was stunned for a long time. He laughed loudly at the table and burst into tears. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I have a cruel heart. I'm better than you!" He shook his sleeves and said, "I'll pass it on to you."
Situ Wei solemnly said: "Father, don't worry, our Jin country has an unlimited future."
King Jin looked at him for a long time and said, "I hope you will do what you say." Situ Wei bowed to the ground.
On August 16, the situation in the Jin Kingdom suddenly changed. The King of Jin suddenly realized that he wanted to escape into Buddhism and pass the throne to His Highness Situ Wei on that day. No matter the prince, queen or ministers, they all disappeared. He led a group of eunuchs from the library to Tianlong Temple in Tianlong Mountain to become a monk.
Monk. Three days later, Situ Wei ascended the throne as the new king, but did not release the two brothers who had closed their doors to think about their mistakes. Queen Fengyuan and Concubine Yin were both the Queen Mother, and the former Queen Mother was the Queen Mother.
The late prince was naturally dissatisfied and stayed at Tianlong Temple day and night to ask for an explanation. Situ Wei ignored him. On August 25th, a young monk accidentally let it slip that the prince was not in the temple at all. A few days ago, he had been beaten by a group of black-clad
He was taken away from the back mountain. The prince stayed for half a day and ordered his men to seize the young monk and break into the temple. Even the presiding monk, the chief monk, the deacon and other important monks all wandered around and placed orders.
A group of ordinary novices remained behind cautiously. The late prince thought for a moment, then hurried down the mountain to Taiyuan City and went straight to Lin Mansion.
In the past few days, the government and the public were shaken. Although Lin Dongyang was full of suspicions, there was no basis for anything. Moreover, Situ Wei had just appointed an official under his family named Guo as the prime minister, and placed confidants in the Manchu Dynasty. Lin Dongyang and other old ministers were all
I felt that his foundation was not stable and I was too anxious, so I was waiting and watching. I thought that my military power would definitely be in danger, but I didn't expect that Situ Wei actually didn't use the generals at all.
Suddenly I heard that my disciple came to report, and my ancestor led people outside to say that they had something to ask for. Even though Lin Dongyang and others were dissatisfied, they had to see him at this time. But he saw his ancestor's face was like gold paper, and he bowed to Lin Dongyang with tears in his eyes: "I don't want to
The general is still willing to see me."
Lin Dongyang knew that he had been at Tianlong Temple these days and asked: "Is there any news about the prince?"
The late prince ordered: "Bring him up!" The soldiers pushed and pushed a young monk up. The late prince pointed at him and said, "I'll recruit you from the truth. I'll spare your life!"
The young monk started to cry: "It has nothing to do with the poor monk! The poor monk kindly tells you! Wow..."
Lin Dongyang said hurriedly: "My little master is very talkative, so don't be afraid. It won't be a problem if it doesn't have anything to do with you."
After coaxing him for a long time, the little monk started talking.
It turned out that after becoming a monk, King Jin bluntly stated that he wanted to cultivate with his hair on, and did not shave his head. Because he brought many people, Tianlong Temple was not big and actually occupied most of the monastery. The monks had no choice but to build pavilions in front of the Buddha. This was inevitable.
Some people complained that some people went to the nearby temple to place orders. Since King Jin came, every day strange people wearing black clothes and hats would quietly stop the monks who were out for alms and ask them about King Jin. Monks did not lie, the monks
Naturally, we know everything and can express everything.
Once, someone heard that the King of Jin sent a few eunuchs to quietly go to the market to inquire about "mercenaries", and also drew a few portraits to find people. The man wearing a bamboo hat was shocked. The next night, many black-clad night walkers appeared in the back mountain.
, all armed with muskets and highly skilled in martial arts, surrounded the monastery like black bags. The King of Jin and the group of eunuchs were quietly taken away from the back mountain by them and disappeared without a trace.
The former lord of the Jin Kingdom was missing, and the presiding monk and others were so frightened that they lost their minds. Fortunately, the late prince and others outside were not aware of it, so they pretended that nothing happened and sneaked away quietly using various excuses.
After hearing this, Lin Dongyang knew that his childhood was in serious danger. The late prince said with tears: "It is obvious that the father has fallen into the hands of the fourth son. I ask the general to send troops to serve the king and eradicate the traitors."
Lin Dongyang hesitated for a moment. An aide next to the First Prince stepped forward and bowed before speaking. Suddenly he heard the door curtain rattle, and Xin Zhen strode in. He saw her facing Lin Dongyang and said in a deep voice: "
General, from birth to death, there is no step where a person does not struggle in the cage, so he rarely encounters a dilemma. If you go forward, you will be on a cliff, and your life or death will be uncertain. If you retreat, you will be rich and glorious, and live a happy life. However, a man stands between heaven and earth, but only seeks
You are worthy of heaven and earth, why should you fear life and death! The prince and the general were childhood classmates, and their kindness and righteousness are profound. Regardless of emotion or reason, the general cannot stand idly by." She chuckled, as if in the spring of March. "Anyway, both children have left.
The family is away from home. At worst, I will accompany the general to death. If I have a companion on the road to hell, my life in this world will not be in vain."
The staff clapped their hands and cheered: "Madam is a true heroine! We men are ashamed of ourselves."
Lin Dongyang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Forget it! Since the prince is in trouble, if he doesn't help the prince diligently, he will act like a minister." He ordered his subordinates to "bring me a coat!"
The staff bowed to the ground and said: "The general is loyal, loyal, courageous, and powerful. He is a true hero!"
The late prince also thanked Lin Dongyang with a great courtesy, and uttered many words to praise Lin Dongyang, but his eyes were secretly looking at Xin Zhen. Lin Dongyang was a general on the battlefield, his eyes were much brighter than others, and he looked straight at it! But this guy had to shoot an arrow on the string.
, had no choice but to endure this tone for the time being. Then he led the prince and others to get up and go to the camp to order troops.
Situ Wei didn't know anything about it, he just thought that Lin Dongyang had surrendered to him under Xinzhen's persuasion, so he took no precautions. The officers and soldiers surrounded the Jin Palace, and the late Crown Prince and Lin Dongyang stood outside the door and kept saying that the Fourth Highness had seized the throne from his father and wanted to save him.
Returning to the prince, Lin Dongyang shouted loudly: "It is the prince's grace that all the brothers in the army are receiving the pay of Jin soldiers! How can we betray the prince and protect the thief? We are all being deceived by the thief, and there is nothing wrong with it. Let us go quickly.
Enter the King of Internal Affairs!"
Situ Wei came to the throne suddenly. Ordinary soldiers are not fools. How can they not be suspicious? In addition, Lin Dongyang was a general of the Jin Dynasty. His predecessors had been in the throne for many years. Their prestige was not comparable to that of Situ Wei, an unknown prince. They were immediately convinced.
He simply opened the door, and Lin Dongyang took the lead and rushed into the house.
A eunuch came forward and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Fourth and Prime Minister Guo are outside in the study!"
The two of them led the troops and went straight to the outer study, only to see Prime Minister Guo standing at the door with a blank face. The late Crown Prince shouted: "Where is Xiaosi?"
Prime Minister Guo was shocked and fell to the ground. Lin Dongyang also asked: "Where is the Fourth Highness?"
Prime Minister Guo said tremblingly: "I don't know...just now a man in black broke through the window and rushed in. Without any explanation, he grabbed him and carried him on his back, saying...saying..."
The First Prince drank again: "What did you say?"
"Say that he is Mrs. Jiang's subordinate. If you save his life, you will pay off what you owe him. Don't go looking for their wife again in the future." Prime Minister Guo said, "That man just disappeared like flying!" He pointed.
The window, "here, was smashed by him!"
Lin Dongyang looked at the mess on the ground and said, "This martial arts is of a level rarely seen in this world." Then he asked, "Where is the prince?"
Prime Minister Guo said with a mournful face: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince has never told me about these matters. They were all discussed by Mr. Wu. Since the three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have not seen Mr. Wu."
"Who is Mr. Wu?"
"Mr. Wu is from Japan. His name is Ciren. He was originally a monk. He had just returned to secular life and was wearing a wig." Guo Cheng pointed out Mr. Wu's appearance.
Lin Dongyang then ordered people to ask Mr. Yan, the prefect of Taiyuan, to bring a painter to paint Mr. Wu's portrait. At that moment, the prefect Yan came and took Prime Minister Guo to the next door room. He was also busy posting a notice announcing Situ Wei.
The traitor, the Crown Prince regained his identity, and all the officials appointed by Situ Wei were imprisoned. They were busy until the second watch, and everyone went back to their homes to rest.
As soon as the Crown Prince arrived at the door of the mansion, his disciple rushed forward and said kind words to him for a long time. The Crown Prince laughed loudly and rewarded him with ten taels of silver. The disciple said: "Your Highness, a little Taoist nun just came to beg for alms. Instead of asking for food and silver, she gave him in return
I brought something." Of course he didn't tell the prince that the little Taoist nun also gave him fifty taels of silver, which was more generous than the prince.
When the prince heard the word "taoist nun", he was shocked and asked quickly: "What is it?"
Menzi said: "A book." Then he took it out.
The prince looked at it under the clear oil glass lamp. It was a copy of the "Nanhua Sutra". When he opened the book, there was a dried flower inside. The prince's expression was greatly moved. Menzi whispered beside him: "Isn't this the wild flower that blooms in our village?
?”
The prince recognized the dried flower at a glance. When he and Xin Zhen had become good friends many years ago, Xin Zhen once pointed to a small blue flower and said: "This flower is called forget-me-not, and it is a wild flower in the field in our country. There is a knight from overseas who came to replace it."
The lover picked the flower without falling into the water. Before he drowned, he threw the flower to his lover on the river bank and begged her not to forget him. So he got this name." Needless to say, this flower must have been sent by the real person.
Come.
He was thinking: Now that Xiao Si has become a lost dog, there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter whether his father is good or bad, the Jin Kingdom will be his own sooner or later. How long will it take if he does not take this opportunity to ascend to the throne?
With the power of the court in hand, A-Yuan no longer had to stay in the Lin family to take care of herself. When her father was rescued, she could make him the Supreme King. Then the Crown Princess and her children were not seen, so they hurriedly summoned the staff to discuss the matter.
While they were discussing, Magistrate Yan arrived. He replied: "The man surnamed Guo has already confessed. A few days ago, he heard His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince walking in a hurry with someone..." The two aides coughed at the same time. Magistrate Yan hurriedly changed his words, "
He heard the traitor Situ Wei talking to a man in a hurry. The man was wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat. He didn't look like a good person." The Crown Prince snorted. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother had been talking to each other since they came back from Chongshan Temple on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
He was ill and no one was seen. Therefore, the prince did not know that the person who led Mr. Hao to Chongshan Temple was the Queen Mother. Yan Zhifu waited for a moment and saw that the prince was not ready to speak, so he continued, "The man wearing a bamboo hat
Said, 'Sending it to Japan will be safe, the prince will never kill his father.'"
Everyone was shocked. After a long while, an aide took the lead and said: "The traitor wanted to use a knife to kill someone, so he sent the prince to the master in Japan. The time for the master in Japan was not short, and when he left, the whole family went with him.
, and even brought a lot of guards. When the prince goes over, isn’t it like sending a sheep into the tiger’s mouth?” Everyone in the room looked at each other.
Suddenly, another staff member said sadly: "It's just that Japan is far away overseas, thousands of miles away. Now the roads are smooth, and the cars, horses and boats are fast. The traitor has obviously hooked up with the green forest and grass bandit Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang's men are secretive and good at flying over eaves and walking over walls."
The thief runs the fastest. By the time our people catch up to Japan, the prince will be dead or alive!" He burst into tears, as if he were mourning his heir.
Another staff member immediately started crying: "My lord, you died so miserably..."
