Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh collection
The emperor made arrangements, and the officials in the palace retired one after another. The emperor looked at King Cheng aside.
The emperor asked: "What has King Cheng been thinking about when he has been silent?" After he brought King Cheng to the palace, King Cheng had been waiting silently aside without any insights.
King Cheng stopped in a hurry, stood there and bowed and replied: "We will arrange the affairs of Zongzheng Temple properly..."
Before King Cheng could finish speaking, the emperor interrupted him: "What I'm asking King Cheng about is this war."
King Cheng swallowed: "I haven't led an army for many years, so I don't dare to speak nonsense."
The emperor finally lost his patience: "King Cheng knows what I am talking about."
King Cheng hesitated for a long time without speaking, and finally he made up his mind: "Wei Chen also felt that there was some truth in what Mr. Hong said."
The emperor finally heard what he wanted to hear. He knew that in King Jian's case, King Cheng had received favors from Song Chengxuan, so he naturally criticized his decision.
"According to what Prince Cheng said, I should wait for Song Chengxuan to rebel."
The emperor's tone was indifferent and there was no emotion in it. King Cheng was shocked when he heard it and immediately knelt down: "Wei Chen didn't mean that. Wei Chen felt that if the emperor showed kindness to Song Chengxuan, maybe Song Chengxuan would be willing to serve the emperor wholeheartedly.
"
A bright light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he looked at King Cheng with disappointment: "That is the heir of the Wei thief, can he understand what the emperor's grace is? He doesn't know how to write the word 'loyalty', otherwise he would not hide it in
Southeast, he changed his name and entered the court again, and even married the eldest daughter of Marquis Anyi."
When the emperor said this, he became more and more indignant: "They are all ungrateful people. What will happen to the Xu family that the late emperor left alive? It is not a betrayal of the imperial court, but of me."
Do you still want me to give in again?"
The emperor slapped his palm on the table.
King Cheng immediately said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Do you also want to rebel with the Wei thieves?" came the emperor's majestic and cold voice.
King Cheng knocked his head on the ground: "I am terrified..."
"Prince Shunyang is also a frequent visitor to your house. The eldest princess Jiashan and the eldest princess Huayang have received favors from the Xu family. Have you secretly known everything for a long time and are hiding it from me?"
Cheng Wang trembled even more violently.
The emperor said: "That's why you sent a letter to the Beishan tribe to help Song Chengxuan."
King Cheng raised his head in surprise: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that my slaves will cause war. I am doing this for the sake of the Zhou Dynasty. I have no selfish motives. Please tell me clearly."
The eldest princess of Jiashan and the eldest princess of Huayang also knew Xu Qinghuan because of the case, and more clans were involved in the case of King Jian. If we really want to give in, wouldn't it be... everyone would be suspected."
The emperor looked at King Cheng who was shaking like chaff, and a cold expression appeared on his face: "No matter who dares to rely on the Wei thieves, I will never tolerate it. I hope that King Cheng can take good care of Zongzheng Temple and prevent any trouble from happening to the clan.
."
King Cheng responded, kowtowed again, and then cautiously stepped out.
The emperor narrowed his eyes. He expected that King Cheng would not dare to rebel. He just wanted to shock the mountain and let all the clans know what would happen if they had any dissent towards him.
King Cheng walked out of the hall and returned to his residence with worries. He didn't sleep all night. He felt extremely tired and wanted to lie down and take a nap. When he closed his eyes, he heard the majestic voice of the emperor in his ears. Then he remembered
The heads of those who were beheaded during the King Wei case fell to the ground, and their blood flowed into rivers.
Turning his eyes, he found that he was also kneeling on the ground, with the blade raised high above his head.
King Cheng immediately woke up from his dream, sweat soaked through his clothes. Just as he was about to calm down, a big face floated in front of his eyes. King Cheng's heart almost jumped out of his chest. When he saw the big mouth on that face clearly
, he finally took a breath without being frightened and fainting.
"What's wrong with you?" Prince Shunyang whispered, "You don't even recognize me anymore."
King Cheng stared at Prince Shunyang with sharp eyes. Prince Shunyang actually dared to appear here. What kind of situation was this? He still looked nonchalant.
"Go away," King Cheng said angrily, "You don't want to live anymore, don't bring me down." The emperor was dissatisfied when the Shunyang County Prince's Palace married the Xu family. After Qi Defang got married, the family spent most of their time in the southeast.
He was identified as a member of the Wei royal family. Now that the war is going on, if the court discovers the whereabouts of Prince Shunyang, Prince Shunyang will be imprisoned immediately.
Prince Shunyang was quite dissatisfied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the prince cursed me like this."
"What on earth do you want to do?" King Cheng stood up from the bed and glared at the steward at the door.
The steward asked Prince Shunyang to break in like this. This loach regarded his home as a cave, but he didn't want it to turn into a quagmire.
"Can Prince Cheng escape?" Prince Shunyang asked, "Did the emperor direct his anger at the prince? After all, when King Jian framed the prince, it was Song Chengxuan who saved the prince."
Cheng Wang looked ugly.
Seeing the angry look of King Cheng's little daughter-in-law, Prince Shunyang said: "Can't you help but speak for Song Chengxuan? But the emperor refused to withdraw his troops, and even questioned that you were also a member of the King of Wei."
King Cheng turned his head away, and Prince Shunyang turned around and came closer: "Did you have a nightmare? Dreamed about..." He gestured to his neck.
King Cheng wished he could kill the fly next to his ear.
"What can I do about this? Back then, you gave me a name card, saying that if Mr. Song is of any use, you will do your best to help him. I don't know if you will still do it."
The hairs on King Cheng's body stood up. He looked at Prince Shunyang with his eyes widened: "So you started planning at that time. When did you know about it? You deliberately wandered around to convince us, just waiting for today*
Are you asking us to do things for Song Chengxuan?"
"What's the plan?" Prince Shunyang asked, "I have never asked Song Chengxuan to confirm his identity. I just made a guess. It was not Song Chengxuan's idea to ask you for a name post. It was my own idea.
In order to expose King Jian, Song Chengxuan is very likely to reveal his identity. When the time comes, the emperor will definitely find ways to target him, and those he has saved will also stay away from this, for fear of being implicated by him."
Prince Shunyang looked at King Cheng when he said this, and King Cheng's face suddenly turned red.
"Of course this is our duty and we shouldn't be picky. Who doesn't want to live a good life, right? When Song Chengxuan rescued people, he never thought about repaying him, just like when King Wei was ordered to stabilize the political situation of the Zhou Dynasty when he was in danger," Prince Shunyang extended his hand.
Pointing to his nose, "But I'm cautious. I'm afraid that someone will add insult to injury. If I hold something in my hand, I'll feel more at ease."
King Cheng was left speechless.
Prince Shunyang took out a name card from his arms: "In order to make you feel more at ease, I also return this name card to you. It is the last thing I do for you. From now on, we will be strangers. Let's cherish it.
!”
Prince Shunyang threw down his name card and turned around to leave. King Cheng did not expect such a result. He only felt empty in his heart, as if many things had been taken away at once.
"Please explain clearly what it means to be strangers, to cherish each other, and to do the last thing for me. Who do you think you are?"
The Prince of Shunyang County waved his sleeves: "A bereaved dog is not worthy of being nominated. When we come there in the future, we will not have the face to meet the ancestors of the Qi family. At this stage, everyone is in danger, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is in trouble.
The Qi family has long been unworthy of holding the world in its hands."
"Will the Tatars really take the opportunity to invade?" King Cheng stopped Prince Shunyang, "Aren't you lying to me?"
"Believe it or not, go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams."
Prince Shunyang seemed to have suddenly turned into a troubled child.
"Okay," Cheng Wang said, "Since you can come to me, you have some trust in me. Please tell me about the situation in Northern Xinjiang. What should we do?"
The king of Shunyang County said: "The imperial court is attacking the southeast, and the soldiers from the southeast will only defend the city because they have to reserve their troops to deal with the Tatars. The prince also knows several generals, and I hope they will not attack their colleagues."
King Cheng nodded: "I will try my best to persuade him, but I'm afraid the emperor is eager to win and won't be able to delay it for too long."
"It won't take long," Prince Shunyang said: "The Tatars won't wait that long and will take action soon. In addition, when the last resort comes, the prince will cooperate with us to do something."
"What?" King Cheng's chest jumped.
The king of Shunyang County said: "Capture the king first to capture the thieves. In order to deal with the Tatars, we can resolve the civil strife as early as possible."
