Chapter seven hundred and twenty sixth secret decree
On that day, Emperor Jian'an issued an imperial edict.
King Linjiang was ordered to go to the Zongren Mansion to announce the decree.
King Ning neither knelt nor accepted the order, sneered again and again, did not yell or curse, he only stared at King Linjiang fiercely.
The gaze was cold and vicious. It was as if a vicious wolf was keeping an eye on its prey and would pounce forward at any time and bite the victim into pieces.
King Linjiang was relatively stable, but King Hejian beside him broke out in a cold sweat again.
King Ning stared at King Linjiang for a moment, then turned his cold and cruel eyes to King Hejian. King Hejian felt guilty and his eyes were wandering, but he did not dare to look at King Ning.
Prince Ning raised his lips coldly, stood up, and walked out.
In order to safely escort King Ning to the imperial mausoleum, King Hejian personally accompanied him and sent most of the guards from the clan's mansion, as many as two hundred.
After two days of anxious and uneasy sleep and food, King Hejian breathed a sigh of relief until the group arrived at the imperial mausoleum. He quickly threw Prince Ning, the "hot potato", to the Chu captain who was responsible for guarding the imperial mausoleum.
This Lieutenant of Chu is a cousin of the same clan as General Chu, and he is a serious general. He once led troops on the battlefield, was very skilled, and made many military exploits. Unfortunately, he injured one eye on the battlefield, and now only
One eye was intact. He could no longer lead troops in battles, so he volunteered to guard the imperial mausoleum.
"Thank you, Captain Chu." King Hejian lowered his voice and warned: "The King of Ningxia is a guilty person, and he has come to guard the tomb of the late emperor to reflect on his own mistakes. Captain Chu should be more careful."
The word "worry" is quite vague.
Lieutenant Chu didn't seem to hear the implication of the King of Hejian's words, and responded calmly: "This is the responsibility of the lower official. I don't dare to worry about being the King of Hejian."
…
In fact, the day before, Lieutenant Chu received a secret edict from the emperor.
We cannot allow King Ning to return to the capital alive.
Emperor Jian'an would not be stupid enough to leave such a secret edict on paper and leave traces on it. Instead, he would order a confidant to deliver the message.
General Chu was equally cautious and sent his personal entourage to deliver the message.
"...Prince Ning is the son of the late emperor and the younger brother of the emperor. The emperor wants to get rid of this trouble, so he has given you a secret decree. This matter must not be done too hastily, so as not to be criticized by Prince Ning's party members."
"You must work on it slowly and sharpen it slowly with a soft knife until Prince Ning loses his will to live and seeks his own death. In this way, you will at most get a bad reputation for not caring enough, but you will not be held accountable."
"Remember, remember! Don't move in vain!"
Among the military generals of Da Qi, the one with the highest official rank is General Yin. The second is General Chu.
General Yin was promoted solely based on his military exploits. But the Chu family is a family of generals. General Chu is the current head of the Chu family, and he is well versed in the ways of being a minister.
You must obey the emperor's orders. However, it is up to you how to act. Don't get the credit for your efforts, but end up being cooked by the lackeys.
Lieutenant Chu heard these words, remembered them in his heart, and thought about them over and over again.
After the King of Hejian left, Captain Chu went to see the King of Ning: "I have met the King of Ningxia."
King Ning! King Ningxia!
The difference of one word is the difference between a prince and a county king.
How could the proud and arrogant Prince Ning not be angry after hearing this? He had suppressed his anger for half a day, and now he burst out in anger. He scolded Captain Chu like crazy.
Lieutenant Chu remained calm, no matter how much Prince Ning scolded him, he still looked respectful.
…
The plaque of Prince Ning's Mansion was removed and replaced by Prince Ning's Mansion.
Princess Ning should now be called Princess Ningxia.
The front door of the mansion, which had been sealed for nearly three months, was finally reopened. However, there were really only a few people willing to visit at this time.
Everyone in the world wants to add to the cake, but how many of them are willing to give someone help when they need it?
The Li family will definitely come to visit.
Li Mo didn't care about the past disputes with Li Xiangru, and went to visit with Mrs. Li. As for Fang Ruomeng, because Mr. Fang Ge also participated in Ning Wang's book, he felt that his identity was embarrassing, so he used the excuse of taking care of his two sons.
, never came together.
Li Xiangru burst into tears when she saw her mother and brother.
When Mrs. Li saw her daughter's emaciated and haggard appearance, her heart ached, and she hugged Li Xiangru and cried together.
Li Mo felt sour in his heart, and comforted him in a low voice: "Sister, don't be too sad. Prince Ning...The King of Ningxia is finally safe. He only needs to stay in the imperial mausoleum for three years, and then he can return to the capital. Please be patient.
Just wait three years.”
Li Xiangru's eyes were red and his face was full of tears: "Brother said it too easily. The past three years have been difficult for some reason. His Highness is the most agitated. How can he endure such humiliation? What if he can't endure it?
, or what if someone kills him?"
It is impossible to kill someone openly, but it is inevitable to torture and humiliate someone secretly.
Li Mo knew it well, but he couldn't tell the truth. He only chose some nice things to say to Li Xiangru: "The king of Ningxia is determined and determined, far better than ordinary people. No matter what the difficulty is, he will definitely be able to survive. Even though he is a guilty person, he still can't.
He is the King of Ningxia, the younger brother of the current emperor. No one dares to secretly attack him! Don’t worry!"
Li Xiangru was comforted repeatedly and slowly stopped crying.
In the next few days, Princess Lu, Princess Fujian and others came to visit one after another. Empress Dowager Yu and Empress Xiao ordered the female officials around them to visit on their behalf.
Empress Dowager Yu and Empress Xiao behaved like this, and the relatives and noble ladies in the capital also secretly pondered for a few times. The King of Ningxia had no chance of turning around, but everything is possible, so you have to keep a thin line when doing things.
So, a few days later, the Ningxia Prince's Palace, which had been neglected, slowly began to have female relatives come to visit.
No matter how much you cry, the King of Ningxia won't be able to come back for a while. No matter how hard it is, life must go on.
Li Xiangru forcefully cheered up and managed to support the family.
Concubine Li in the palace could not afford to fall ill.
…
Naturally, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi could not hide such a big commotion in the capital.
"King of Ningxia?" Sheng Hong sneered, his eyes sarcastic: "It seems that if I offend the emperor in the future, I will become the king of Sichuan and Shu."
Sheng Hong didn't sympathize with Prince Ning at all when he found himself in this situation, and he only felt happy in his heart.
However, Emperor Jian'an's cold and spicy taste is really shocking.
After taking the throne for half a year, he couldn't wait to attack his brothers.
"I had expected this day. That's why I tried my best to urge you to leave the capital as soon as possible." Xie Mingxi said calmly: "However, I still overestimated the emperor's broadmindedness."
She originally thought that Emperor Jian'an would have to endure it for two or three years before slowly making plans.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jian'an showed his fangs impatiently at the vassal kings before he could even sit firmly on the throne.
They were far away from the capital, but the king of Lu and the king of Min were still in the capital. How could they wait to be killed?
"This is just the beginning." Xie Mingxi whispered: "There will be chaos in the capital. Sheng Hong, you should be prepared for it."
