Chapter seven hundred and eighty eighth courting death
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
This doesn't sound like a good thing, and if it doesn't work well, it will become a reminder for him.
King Cheng looked at Prince Shunyang and suddenly raised his hand and punched Prince Shunyang in the chest.
The strength is neither too big nor too small, so it won't hurt anyone, but it can also be used to vent one's anger.
King Cheng always felt that Prince Shunyang's rope was standing in front of him, and he would tie the rope to the beam of the house under mysterious circumstances, and then put it around his neck.
This person is so hateful.
Prince Shunyang rubbed his heart and said, "Do you have food? I'm hungry."
"No," Cheng Wang waved his sleeves, "leave quickly while no one wants to kill you."
"More money." Prince Shunyang chased after King Cheng and followed him into the house.
King Cheng said bitterly: "Rogue."
Prince Shunyang nodded: "Don't throw away what is passed down from your family."
…
When the emperor looked at the battle report sent to him, his heart suddenly surged. Almost all the troops and horses of Zhou Dynasty were mobilized. His troops rushed to the southeast day and night, but Song Chengxuan could not retreat, obviously he did not dare to fight.
The emperor said: "Tell General Liu that we can't wait any longer. We must break the city within three days. Although there are many people of Dazhou in the city, we have to do this for the sake of the entire Dazhou. The longer it takes, the more harmful it will be to Dazhou."
It’s a disadvantage.”
As long as the first city is broken, those who follow Song Chengxuan will be killed and dispersed. In the end, no one dares to compete with Master Wang.
The emperor looked at General Wei, the commander of the Shandong capital, and asked, "How is the situation with the Navy?"
General Wei looked troubled: "We are facing the Quanzhou Navy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture it in a short time."
The emperor frowned: "Have I not already sent you the best warships in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Why has there been no result yet?"
General Wei said: "Song Chengxuan and Xue Chen had a plan a long time ago. They got artillery from nowhere. It is as powerful as our general's artillery, and..."
Moreover, Quanzhou has fought against Japanese pirates for many years. Xue Chen is experienced in military warfare. Although the navy in their garrison is powerful, they have been lazy for many years and have adapted to the days without war. It is expected that Quanzhou will overwhelm them during the battle. His general wrote a secret
He wrote a letter to him, saying that the Quanzhou Navy had no intention of fighting them to the death and would only use artillery to keep them at bay. If Quanzhou used all its strength, they would definitely be defeated.
"They are all a bunch of rubbish," the emperor said. "You can't defeat the Quanzhou Navy with five times the strength of your troops. What use do I need from you, a general who governs the country?"
General Wei immediately said: "I am willing to go to Changzhou in person." He had discussed tactics with Xue Chen and might be able to fight.
"Okay," the emperor became excited, "if General Zhenguo can win this battle, I will reward you with the Alchemy Book and Iron Coupon to be passed down to your family."
General Wei knelt down to thank him.
The emperor waved everyone to leave. There was no one else in the room. He immediately walked to the side to look at the map. He knew General Wei's abilities and should be able to capture Xue Chen.
Everyone said that Song Chengxuan's navy was powerful, and he wanted to defeat Song Chengxuan in the navy. When General Wei won the battle, he boarded the treasure ship and personally led the troops to the southeast.
"Your Majesty," Feng Shun walked into the hall quickly, "Concubine Jing asked the palace staff to send a secret message."
The emperor raised his eyebrows. Could it be that something happened in the palace? He looked at Feng Shun, who also had a strange look on his face.
The emperor said seriously: "Bring the people up."
The palace servant quickly stepped forward and knelt at the emperor's feet: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing ordered my servant to deliver the news no matter what. I walked all the way out of the palace day and night and did not dare to stop..."
The emperor was already impatient: "What happened in the palace?"
The palace attendant did not dare to neglect and immediately said: "Concubine Jing has discovered the prince in the palace."
"What?" Obviously this matter was beyond the emperor's expectation, and the emperor's expression changed slightly, "You say it again? What prince?"
"Your Majesty visited a palace official. Does Your Majesty still remember?"
The emperor frowned. He couldn't think of it for a moment and was feeling anxious.
Feng Shun immediately looked at the palace man: "Why are you trying to riddle me at this time? Just tell me."
The palace servant then said: "The palace lady's name is Zhao Lishu. She once served in Shuqing Palace. The emperor favored her once, but he never promoted her. Unexpectedly, she had a dark knot in her pregnancy. This matter was discovered by the Queen Mother, and she was raised in the palace.
Entering the abandoned concubine's residence, Zhao Gongren successfully gave birth to a prince, who is now about one year old.
After the emperor left the palace, the harem relaxed a lot. Concubine Jing discovered the clues while taking care of the harem, and immediately inquired about the matter secretly, and then ordered the slaves to come and report to the emperor."
The emperor's hands trembled slightly, and his whole body was enveloped in sudden joy. He heard correctly at that time, there was indeed a baby in the palace.
The emperor looked at Feng Shun.
Feng Shun immediately said: "The emperor asked the slave to check the harem. The slave looked carefully and found nothing strange. The slave also went to the abandoned Taifei Courtyard, but no children were found.
However, the servant named Zhao Lishu knew that this palace servant disappeared inexplicably. The servants also asked people to ask, but no one knew the trace of this person. People in the palace were lost every year, and as time went by, the servants also forgot about her.
Already."
The emperor knew Feng Shun's loyalty. He sneered and said: "The Queen Mother wants to hide people in the palace, and even I may not be able to find them. Now that I have left the palace, and Concubine Jing is a member of the Zhang family, the Queen Mother has relaxed her vigilance."
Only then will clues be revealed." It was about the prince, so Zhang Jingshu didn't dare to lie to her.
Feng Shundao: "Your Majesty, what should we do now? The Queen Mother is doing this..."
The emperor's eyes were red and full of anger: "If one day I refuse to follow her wishes, she will get rid of me and establish a new emperor." Now he suspected that the reason why he did not have a prince was because the Queen Mother was behind it.
Make a fool of yourself.
The emperor waved his hand and told the palace people to leave first. Feng Shun closed the palace door and then walked to the emperor's side: "Your Majesty, why don't I take someone back and rescue the little prince first?"
The emperor's eyes kept changing. He had fought with the Queen Mother for so many years and knew the Queen Mother's temper very well. When this matter came to light, the Queen Mother did not hesitate to get rid of Zhao Lishu and her son.
The slave was dead, but the prince couldn't make any mistakes. For all the years he had been on the throne, no prince was born in the palace. There were a lot of discussions inside and outside the palace. He wanted to use this child to stabilize the situation.
No one can defeat the Queen Mother except him.
The emperor ordered Feng Shun: "Call the Yulin Guards, Jinwu Guards, and Fujun Guards. I want to return to the capital immediately."
Feng Shun couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. If you return to Beijing in such a hurry, I'm afraid it's not safe on the road."
"What do I have to fear with my own troops," the emperor said, "and no one knows that I'm leaving. Once I've dealt with the Queen Mother in the palace, I'll be back here immediately. Now that the war has stabilized, it's okay for me to leave for a few days.
"
Feng Shun still wanted to persuade.
The emperor stretched out his hand to stop him: "I have made up my mind, go and make arrangements quickly." The Queen Mother did not expect that he would suddenly return to Beijing, and there would be no time to hide the child. By then the child would be in his hands, and the Queen Mother would be helpless.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to deal with Song Chengxuan and ensure stability in Northern Xinjiang, he would have taken the opportunity to deal with the Queen Mother.
