Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 250
Chapter 250
This New Year in Shuojing City is a double happiness for the Xiao family, and for some people, it seems to have worsened the situation.
At the Prince’s Mansion, Guang Yan sat in the study room, his face full of anxiety.
After Xu Jingfu’s fall, although part of the Xu Dang defected to Chu Zhao, Emperor Wen Xuan’s liquidation was fierce, which also damaged many of his men. For so many years, he himself has no abilities, relying solely on the contacts of Queen Zhang’s family and Xu Xiang, can he sit firmly on the position of the prince temporarily. Although he had made the decision to abandon the car and save his handsome, Guang Yan felt a little regretful after he really made the decision.
In these days, Guangshuo appeared in front of Emperor Wenxuan very diligently, and all the affairs of the DPRK, China, and China began to intervene. Empress Zhang asked him not to act rashly at this time. He approached Xu Jingfu in the past, and I was afraid that Emperor Wen Xuan would not like him in his heart. Before the limelight passed, it was best to stay in the house and guard himself.
Guang Yan responded with his mouth, more anxious in his heart. If the fourth child took advantage of his absence and spoke witty words in front of Emperor Wen Xuan…who knows what will happen in the future? Now that Xiao Huaijin’s power is becoming more and more full, how can he fall behind at this time?
As I was thinking, someone from outside came to report: “Your Highness, someone outside asks for a meeting.”
Guang Yan said: “Come in.”
The visitor looked very inconspicuous in his clothes, but when he raised his head, he could still see that his appearance was slightly different from that of Wei.
This is a utopian.
“His Royal Highness, the slave, by the order of Master Manimbu, has sent a message to His Highness.”
“Manimbu?” Guang Yan narrowed his eyes and greeted the others in the hall to retreat. Then he looked at this person: “Your messenger, are you still alive?”
After Tianxingtai, Emperor Wenxuan ordered all the envoys from Uto to be placed under house arrest, and he has not said how to deal with it. Guang Yan tried to get someone to pass a message to Maningbu, but he kept it too strict and never found a chance. Unexpectedly, the people from Manimbu came to the door by themselves.
As if he was afraid that Guang Yan would not believe in himself, the people stepped forward and gave Guang Yan a glance at the seal in his sleeve.
“If you want me to save your adults, just go back.” Guang Yan said impatiently, “Father is getting angry, and I don’t want to add fuel to the fire.”
“His Royal Highness has never been to court during this period. I am afraid I don’t know. The four princes have been very pleased with his Majesty recently. The courtiers in the court also have the meaning of supporting.”
It’s okay not to say this. When he said this, Guang Yan’s face became a bit ugly. He sneered and said, “Doesn’t this palace know?”
“Concubine Lan is ill every day,” the servant whispered: “Master Manimbu wants a slave to ask His Royal Highness, is it necessary to sit and wait for death like this?”
With a “pop”, the prince slammed the tea cup in front of him against the wall, “Shut up!”
His heart was so angry that Emperor Wen Xuan favored Concubine Lan, no longer a day or two. Guang Yan knew clearly in his heart that if he was not the eldest son, and if Emperor Wen Xuan didn’t want to worry about the people in the world, he was afraid that Guang Shuo had already been established as the prince, because Guang Shuo was the daughter of Concubine Lan, that bitch!
“Don’t stop, let’s face the chaos, Your Highness.”
Guang Yan looked at the people who came: “What do you mean by this?”
The subordinate lowered his head humbly, “Master Manimbu wants a slave to tell His Royal Highness that the emperor is very old, and now the four princes are ready to move. If this happened, the position of the ninety-five princes of Wei must have been in the hands of His Highness. In. Now Xu Xiang has fallen, and Xiao Huaijin’s wings are full again. If Xiao Huaijin takes refuge in the Four Princes…”
Guang Yan’s heart jumped fiercely. This was exactly what he worried about the most.
In the past, Xiao Zhongwu saw him not pleasing to the eye, and often troubled him. Finally, Xiao Zhongwu died and had another son! But Xiao Huaijin now is even more terrifying than Xiao Zhongwu at the time. Xu Jingfu failed to remove Xiao Huaijin from the roots, and now he has raised such a disaster!
“Why don’t Your Highness… cut the mess with a quick knife?”
“Presumptuous!” Guang Yan blurted out, both frightened and angry, “You dare to speak loudly in front of this palace!”
“Your Majesty, be merciful,” the subordinate leaned down, “The one who makes a big thing does not stick to the trivial, being kind to others is cruel to oneself. Otherwise, with the kindness of your Highness, the four princes might take advantage of it. But now,” the subordinate’s voice said It seems to be bewildering, “If your majesty’s palace is driving, you are a righteous emperor!”
The righteous emperor!
Guang Yan: “You shut up!”
It’s like opening the magic box of the goblin bewitching people’s hearts. The thoughts that hadn’t been touched before are now lightly hooked, and they can’t be suppressed.
He understood what Manimbu meant, but although he had fought secretly with Guangshuo in the past, he never thought of the idea of killing his father. Even though Emperor Wen Xuan was partial to Guang Shuo, he was actually okay with him. Although throughout the previous dynasties, there were many cases where father and son were mutilated and brothers mutilated in the palace, Guang Yan believed that he did not have to do this step at all.
Emperor Wenxuan has few heirs, and the Wei Dynasty has always been the most disciplined. As long as the time is up, Emperor Wenxuan will naturally pass on the throne to himself. Empress Zhang and Guang Yan both thought this way, but year after year, day after day, the waiting seemed endless. Emperor Wenxuan seemed to be deliberately avoiding something. After the imperial decree, it also waited for the gradual rise of Guangshuo.
In the past few years, he has secretly connected with the Utuo people, isn’t it because he has become less and less confident in his heart? If Emperor Wen Xuan is honest and follow the steps, why does he come here? Even now, he has been restrained in many ways, so that in this battle for the throne, he unknowingly loses his position as the victor.
If Guangshuo continues like this…
His heart was violently moved by the evil thoughts, it would be better not to do two things…
The servant who fell on his knees saw the change in the expression on the prince’s face in full view, and kindly persuaded: “His Royal Highness, your lord, all the servants have been brought here. Your Highness may wish to consider it carefully. As long as you sit in that position, now Everything you have done is worthwhile. Throughout the ages, whoever has made great things, on which road has no blood shed?”
“Your Highness, please think twice!”
Guang Yan was impetuous, provoked by a few words, and scolded: “Okay, I know it! Get out!”
The subordinates retired silently as they did when they came. Guang Yan looked at the tea cup shards that splashed all over the floor, and a trace of haze gradually climbed into his eyes.
After another moment, he seemed to be awakened and hurriedly left the temple.
After Guangyan left, the maidservant from the Prince’s Mansion came in and cleaned up the debris on the ground. A beautiful maid came out from the back of the temple, and laughed softly: “I’ll be fine.”
“Girl Ying Xiang.” The maid dared not fight with her. Everyone knew that the most favored maid in the Prince’s Mansion today was the maid named Ying Xiang. The prince also quarreled with the prince concubine for her, but Ying Xiang was soft-tempered and never gave her a face, but she got along well with other servants.
Ying Xiang knelt down and gently picked up the fragments on the ground. Her expression was as gentle as ever, and her long eyelashes concealed the strange emotions in her eyes.
Manimbu’s people actually encourage the prince to kill the king?
This juncture… is not a good time.
…
The Chu family at night was too quiet.
Since the fall of Xu Xiang, the three sons of the Chu family who were originally afraid of Chu Zhao have gradually become arrogant. Chu Zhao didn’t have Xu Jingfu to support him, even though he was still an official now, who knows how long it will last? It is uncertain when Emperor Wen Xuan will blame Chu Zhao for his grievances against Xu Jingfu. No one can tell.
When Mrs. Chu saw Chu Zhao, she occasionally ridiculed a few words. As for Chu Linfeng, he hardly saw Chu Zhao very much anymore, and he was no different from the warm and caring for Chu Zhao before the accident.
Chu Zhao himself was not affected by these things, he still did what he should do every day. The wounds on his chest were not fully healed, he was recuperating in the mansion, and his colleagues rarely saw him, and he cleverly avoided the cusp of the storm.
The confidant walked in, took out a letter from his arms and submitted it, “Four sons, there is another message from Yingxiang.”
Chu Zhao accepted the letter and opened it to see that it was okay before, but at the end, his expression changed slightly.
After a while, he threw the letter paper into the burning stove and pressed his fingers lightly on his forehead, which seemed to be extremely headache.
“Four sons?” asked his confidant cautiously.
Chu Zhao waved his hand and said nothing.
He did not expect that Guang Yan would be so anxious, nor did he expect that Manimbu would not forget to provoke at this juncture. As long as Guangyan has a little brain, he will not be led by the nose by the Utuo. It is a pity that in recent years, just as Emperor Wenxuan relied on Xu Jingfu, Guangyan has long been accustomed to leaving everything to Xu Jingfu to take care of. When Xu Jingfu fell, he had no ideas.
“Four sons,” his confidant looked at his face for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but speak: “Since the fourth son is a great talent, now the prince is no longer there. His Royal Highness is impulsive and reckless, but the fourth prince knows how to keep a low profile. The situation is different from the past, good birds choose trees to live, and the prince is incompetent, why don’t the prince follow the four princes…”
This is a rebellious remark, but Chu Zhao has always treated his subordinates very well. Therefore, his subordinates are always a little bit more courageous than other confidants.
Hearing this, Chu Zhao released his hand and looked at the oil lamp on the table.
The flame in the oil lamp was slightly shaken by the cold wind penetrating through the window. He said: “If Xiao Huaijin were not there, of course it would be possible, but now, even for Xiao Huaijin’s sake, the fourth prince would not use me.”
Even if Xu Jingfu’s remaining remnant party surrendered, it seemed that he couldn’t compare with Xiao Jue’s weight. At this juncture, Guangshuo needs Xiao Huaijin’s strength, and from the perspective of Xiao Zhongwu and Xu Jingfu’s everlasting old enemy relationship, Guangshuo will never give up Xiao Huaijin and choose himself.
“But if such a road gets dark…”
“It’s not that I want to go one way to the dark,” Chu Zhao interrupted him, “it’s me, there has never been a second way.”
Perhaps this, many years ago, when he first saw Xu Jingfu and fell under Xu Jingfu’s door, it was doomed today.
“The fourth son, what should I do now?”
“I need to go to the Prince’s Mansion.” A gloomy color flashed between his brows.
Although it seems that Manimbu’s words may have given the prince other thoughts, his words may not be useful. But since he was already on the same boat, if something happened to the prince, he would not be able to get well.
You can only do your best.
…
In Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang sits quietly on the soft collapse, listening to the piano master playing the piano with her eyes closed.
The clearer the sound of the piano, the more peaceful it can soothe dryness in people’s hearts. Since Xu Jingfu’s accident, she has often suffered from insomnia at night, and she has very little time to fall asleep every day. Once I close my eyes, my eyelids often jump fiercely, as if to indicate something is about to happen.
Emperor Wen Xuan’s health is getting worse and worse. Lin Qingtan looked at it several times after failing to go to court, and only said that it would be better to take care of her body, but in the heart of Queen Zhang, she always felt that it was not the case. She was also a little worried.
Xu Xiang fell, which was unexpected for everyone. Although everyone knew in their hearts, Xu Jingfu and Xiao Jue would inevitably have a battle to be fought. But no one thought that Xiao Jue would use soldiers in the frontier battlefield and in the court hall, and the evidence would be one by one, and he would nail his opponent to death on the prison board.
Queen Zhang didn’t know whether Xu Jingfu’s affair was going to be a nuisance or not.
For the husband of Emperor Wen Xuan, Empress Zhang sometimes felt that she could see the other person clearly, but sometimes felt that she had never known her.
At the beginning, Emperor Wen Xuan was still the prince’s prince, but because he was a son who crawled out of the belly of the first empress, he was granted the position of prince. As the daughter of the prime minister’s family, Empress Zhang had many fantasies about her husband before she married. .
But it wasn’t until she became a princess that she realized that her husband was just an ordinary man who was intoxicated with poems and songs every day and indulged in pleasure. He had no ambitions, no political talents, and no inherent domineering imperials. If he loses his identity, he will be no different from the ordinary men on the street.
Empress Zhang is an ambitious woman, but her ambition has been satisfied too smoothly. Because her husband, the son of emperor, was so mediocre that in the end, she didn’t even have any interest in being jealous in the harem.
Just like Emperor Wen Xuan’s life in peace and stability, as long as her son Guangyan sits on the throne in the future, she will be the queen mother, falling from one supreme position to another supreme position.
Empress Zhang always thought so until the appearance of Concubine Lan.
Emperor Wenxuan loved Concubine Lan very much. Empress Zhang didn’t care about the emperor’s favor. There are countless new beauties in the palace every year, and she can’t care about them one by one. But Emperor Wenxuan’s love for Concubine Lan actually brought a bit of sincerity.
This is very eye-catching, especially if Concubine Lan also gave birth to a son.
It’s not that Empress Zhang didn’t try to get rid of Concubine Lan’s mother and son, but this seemingly meek and indisputable woman is extremely cunning, and she has escaped every time. Guangshuo had grown up to adulthood in peace, and if it hadn’t been for Guangshuo’s own acquaintance and had been avoiding the prince’s sharp edge, Empress Zhang would not give up.
As long as the position of Guangyan is not shaken, it doesn’t hurt to let the mother and child live longer. She thought so, but this delicate balance was broken instantly after Xu Jingfu’s death.
Empress Zhang smelled a hint of danger.
The sound of the piano cut a note abruptly, and a court lady came to report: “Manny, the prince is down.”
Queen Zhang opened her eyes and Guang Yan walked in from outside.
“Go down.” She waved, and the piano master retreated with the maid. Empress Zhang looked at Guang Yan as she approached, and she couldn’t help complaining: “I told you all, don’t enter the palace during this period. , The province’s provoke right and wrong, it’s okay for you, for fear that it’s not messy enough, what are you doing here in this palace?”
“Mother Queen,” Guang Yan looked at her anxiously, “You don’t let your son enter the palace, how does your son know that now the palace is almost sinking to Guangshuo’s world!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you?” Queen Zhang sat up slightly, her expression nervous.
“Don’t worry who told me.” Guang Shuo asked, “Is the father and son in bad shape? Mother, didn’t the father tell you a little bit about the prince? My son heard that Guangshuo goes to his father every day. Speaking before the emperor collapses, who knows how clever he is!” He said bitterly, “If I make my father dizzy, wouldn’t I fall short!”
“Shut up!” Empress Zhang shouted sharply, looked around, and saw that there were no people around, she was slightly relieved, and said angrily: “It’s okay for you to keep your mouth shut. I don’t know how many eyes are staring in the palace. .”
“Mother Queen,” Guang Yan said disappointedly: “I think the bitch Lan Guifei can’t wait to do it. Let’s take care of so many things!”
When it comes to Concubine Lan, Empress Zhang’s expression is also hard to look. She was conceited all her life, boasting that no one in the harem was her opponent, even if Emperor Wenxuan loved Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan still wanted to be a person with her tail in front of her in these years. But the recent situation broke her original idea. That woman… Isn’t that woman indisputable, but has a great vision! Over the years, I was cautious in front of myself. I used to be pretending to be pretentious. When the time came, I showed my true colors. What’s ridiculous is that I was deceived by her!
Seeing that Empress Zhang’s expression changed, Guang Shuo licked his lips anxiously, and suddenly approached: “Mother, I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Empress Zhang recovered, looked at him and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Now that Xu Jingfu is dead, my father must have hated me, and the bitch Lan Guifei doesn’t know what he said in front of my father… If this continues, my father will definitely change Guangshuo as the crown prince… I can’t let it go. This kind of thing happened!”
“you think……”
“As long as the emperor is gone now,” a madness flashed in Guang Yan’s eyes, “the throne should have been mine!”
Empress Zhang subconsciously covered his mouth, “Do you know what you are talking about?”
“Of course I know!” Guang Yan whispered: “Mother, if you think about it, if Guangshuo becomes the emperor, what will I end up with? What will you end up with the mother? If the father really has me in his heart, early So he passed on the throne to me. He is ruthless to me, so don’t blame me for being unjust! The big deal, I will become the emperor in the future, and I will give him a few more sticks of incense every year!”
Empress Zhang was frightened and frightened, but before she could speak, Guang Yan weakened her legs and knelt in front of her and pleaded, “Mother, I beg you to save the children and the ministers, and help them to get a great cause!”
She looked uncertain, did not speak for a while, and after a long time, she sighed and said, “Let me think about it again.”
But that look was clearly a compromise.
