Devil’s Advent

"Which one is the third child's house?"

This question,

It was not only Qi Simiao who was shocked, but also the second prince, Li Yinglian, and Zheng Fan who was standing by.

As a victim, Zheng Fan did not actually have much right to know about the investigation of the case. The caravan of the Sixth Prince is not a secret agent. My head probably moved a long time ago.

Therefore, Zheng Fan has been following Jingnan Hou's train of thought.

Originally, Zheng Fan thought that this Qi Simiao was an enemy who designed to harm him, and at the same time, the second prince definitely couldn't get away with it.

Zheng Fan was still sighing, could it be that he really has the face of a traitor?

Or, is it because the second prince is so jealous of the sixth prince, and once he finds out that the sixth prince has any thoughts of extending his hand to develop power, he will immediately and decisively cut him off?

But following the words of Jingnan Hou,

The turning point came so suddenly that he almost flinched.

Are these princes so ruthless?

How did Emperor Dayan give birth to a baby? A group of goblins.

With this turning point, many things that were previously obscured by clouds and fog began to become clear.

The assassination was done by the second prince's people. Because of his mother's Tian family relationship, the second prince has a certain penetration power into the Jingnan Army itself. Generally speaking, he can mobilize a group of people.

The purpose of killing Zheng Fan was to break the sixth prince's arm. No matter how the sixth prince pretended to be an idle prince, it started after his mother's clan was exterminated and his concubine was given white silk.

You know, the older brothers above the sixth prince are older than him. They must have noticed how high-profile the sixth prince was in the early years and how he was loved by his father.

Although they don't know why the father suddenly suppressed the sixth brother, but out of an instinctive fear, they don't want to see the sixth brother who has been silent for a long time suddenly start to develop power.

Of course, if the person behind the scenes is really the Third Prince, then killing Zheng Fan is really just an appetizer, this is the real Xiang Zhuang Sword Dance.

The use of the second prince's men led to the collusion between the Marquis of Jingnan and the state of Jin and the subsequent series of disturbances. It was precisely because of that assassination that the state of Jin and the state of Qian would coax and call Jingnanhou the King of Jingnan.

And Jingnan Hou was originally the second prince's uncle, so he naturally belonged to the second prince's front. If he wanted to cut off the second prince's way to be the crown prince, Jingnan Hou had better get rid of it.

Let him show his sharpness, let him fall into the limelight, it seems that he is trying to cheer him up, but in fact he is "praising him"!

Since ancient times, there are not too many examples of cunning rabbits and dead dogs cooking, especially when the power and prestige of foreign ministers reach a certain level, how can the one sitting on the dragon chair not be afraid?

This is on the surface,

There is an even darker dark side.

Even, seeing that Qi Simiao's seeming excuse when he was directly convicted by Jingnan Hou was actually an act of clinging to the second prince,

It is obvious that there has been a pre-drill, at least, mentally prepared.

This means that they have already made a record, once the matter is tracked down, they will sacrifice Qi Simiao and cling to the second prince, so as to cut off the possibility of the second prince inheriting the throne!

One link after another, one step at a time, this can no longer be described as killing with a borrowed knife, because this knife has already been played with by them.

Qi Simiao opened his mouth wide. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

In front of such a powerful Jingnan Hou, he knew that whatever he said was useless.

The second prince almost jumped up from his kneeling position and shouted:

"Did the third child do it?"

The second prince has always been called an "honest man" by the government and the public, but the prince is a prince after all, and honest man and old fool are not synonymous.

"As for Master Hou, the house of His Highness the Third Highness is at the back." Li Yinglian replied immediately.

Jingnanhou walked up to the second prince, who stared blankly at his uncle, and Jingnanhou also looked at him seriously.

immediately,

Jingnanhou missed the second prince and walked out of the pavilion.

Zheng Fan and the guards around him went out together with Marquis Jingnan. Qi Simiao, who was left alone, just knelt there.

Among the eunuchs and court ladies around the gazebo, many of them had their backs soaked in sweat.

The second prince opened his mouth, as if he was a little short of oxygen, Li Yinglian hurriedly stood up to support the second prince, and while stroking the second prince's back, comforted him:

"Your Highness, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

The second prince panted heavily,

Nodding apprehensively,

Then,

His eyes slowly fell on Qi Simiao who was kneeling on the ground.

"Mr. Qi, Mr. who has been calling you alone for three years, why do you treat Gu like this!"

Qi Simiao was silent.

"Gu Ke once owed Mr. Gu Ke, and Mr. Gu Ke once was sorry to Mr. Why did Mr. leave him alone to death!"

Qi Simiao heard the words,

Suddenly laughed.

"Sir, why are you laughing?"

Qi Simiao still kept her kneeling position,

Slowly said:

"I, the previous emperors of Dayan, including the present emperor, were either arrogant or extravagant or militaristic.

Only His Highness the Third Highness can create a truly prosperous Dayan, let my Dayan restore the rule of saints, and enjoy peace forever! "

Qi Simiao knew in his heart that today's matter could not be bettered.

So, he didn't care anymore and said everything.

"Third brother, hehehe, third brother...cough cough cough..."

The second prince first laughed and then coughed again.

"Ah, Your Highness, you are coughing up blood, come, come, come!"

………

People who have been in the workplace probably know one truth, that is, how important it is to be a boss, and those who have been in the system naturally understand this truth better.

Zheng Fan now feels that following Jingnan Hou seems to be really good.

First of all, when I went to the territory of Qianguo to pretend to be aggressive, and was almost made dumplings by others, it was the Marquis of Jingnan who led 10,000 Jingnan troops to rescue the siege.

But right now, since entering Beijing, Jingnanhou has simply interpreted his arrogance thoroughly. Following this kind of boss, at least he doesn't have to be angry.

The third prince's mansion is just behind the second prince's mansion. When Jingnanhou led his personal guards over, it seemed that a group of people had gathered at the gate of the third prince's mansion, which had already gotten the news in advance.

They are a group of court ladies, a group of eunuchs, and a group of scholars. The three princes are known for their literary names. The royal family of Dayanji has always given people the impression of martial arts on horseback. After so many generations, finally a genetic mutation appeared among the princes. Scholar Seed.

This kind of persona can be said to have naturally become the heart of Dayan literati, and there is naturally no shortage of people who wave the flag and have good feelings around him.

Because the prince was not released, and he lived in the prince's mansion, the third prince did not have his own guards around him.

The first prince led the soldiers of Tiancheng County, and there was no shortage of soldiers around him. The second prince led the forbidden army in Beijing, and the soldiers of the forbidden army outside the prince's mansion obeyed his orders. Besides, there was another prince who enjoyed The quota treatment for personal guards is the idle prince's little six.

Even, to be exact, the only one who can blatantly own the quota of personal soldiers instead of relying on county soldiers and forbidden troops to make up the number is the sixth prince.

But the sixth son will not be complacent because of this special treatment, because on that day, after the father and son played right, the Emperor Yan couldn't help but reward his sixth son with a prince's salary, which is equivalent to the enjoyment of later generations There is a reason for the treatment.

On the second day after the award was awarded, the family of Xiaoliuzi's grandfather was exterminated, and his mother was thrown into limbo by his father, and later even given a white silk.

The personal guard of the Marquis of Jingnan was naturally a first-class pawn of tigers and wolves selected by thousands of people in the Jingnan Army. The oppressive feeling after approaching made the group of scholars, eunuchs and maids panic.

"Who is coming!"

"Come on, let's be presumptuous!"

Several scholars stiffened their necks and began to shout.

This scene, for Zheng Fan, is hardly too familiar.

Jingnanhou didn't stop, but continued to move forward.

At this time, as a subordinate, you need to open the way for your boss.

In fact, Zheng Fan was the boss of his own business in his previous life, and he hadn't really been in the workplace, but since he woke up in this world, he was really licked out of experience, and even reversed out of a kind of instinct.

"Wow!"

Zheng Fan drew out his saber and walked forward quickly.

The guards who originally followed behind King Jingnan imitated Zheng Fan's actions and drew out their sabers to quickly follow Zheng Fan.

fuck

Brothers are so awesome!

What I want is this feeling, even if it's a fake tiger's might, but this feeling is really cool.

Zheng Fan enjoyed this moment very much. Although the barbarians in his family's Green Willow Fort were also afraid of him to death, except that they could order and prohibit them during war, seeing him in daily life was really like seeing a demon king. trembling.

Unlike these guards of the Marquis of Jingnan, who are so tacit and able to cooperate with each other.

Besides,

From the point of view of the appearance of the aesthetic point of view,

This group of well-equipped personal guards is also much better than the barbarians in their own fortress.

Especially since those brutal soldiers were taught by Fan Li and started shouting "Ula", in Zheng Fan's heart, aesthetics has collapsed.

This group of personal guards, cooperating with their own actions, is like practicing gymnastics with a group of Olympic champions, so sour!

"Kinbei!!!"

Zheng Fan gave a loud shout.

"exist!"

"exist!"

Nearly a hundred people shouted in unison.

hiss……

Cool!

"Master Hou is here, anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"

"Kill without mercy!"

"Kill without mercy!"

Hundreds of guards shouted together and started to speed up following Zheng Fan.

This group of people, including Zheng Fan, had really killed people and seen blood. When they ran, the aura directly collapsed the palace ladies and eunuchs who were planning to stop them, including the scholars.

They started screaming and running around, and no one dared to stay here to stop them.

Zheng Fan was the first to rush in, rushing into the third prince's mansion.

He didn't even enter the house, but in the front yard, he saw two people sitting on a stone table, one young and one old, and there was an eunuch standing beside him with his hands tied.

When Zheng Fan came in, the eunuch continued to stand there as if taking a nap, while the third prince was drinking tea with his seat teacher.

Zheng Fan waved his arm,

The soldiers behind him immediately dispersed to surround the place.

This group of people is really caring, and I have to tell the blind man that my future soldiers have to practice like this.

soon,

Jingnanhou walked in with strides.

When the figure of Jingnan Hou appeared here,

The eunuch knelt down first,

road:

"Slave Wei Zhen, please greet Lord Jingnan."

The third prince who was still drinking tea and his seat teacher smiled at each other and got up together:

"Nephew Ji Chengyue has seen uncle."

"My servant Tan Guang, see the Marquis of Jingnan."

Jingnan Hou ignored their salutes, but went straight into the courtyard and walked towards the third prince.

At this time,

Eunuch Wei Zhen knelt and moved his knees to stop Jingnan Hou, and continued to lower his head.

"You, want to stop Ben Hou?"

"Returning to Lord Hou, the servant is lowly, so naturally he dare not stop Lord Hou, but Lord Hou came here with anger, and as the companion of His Highness, the servant dare not let Lord Hou's anger hit His Highness."

"Okay, your surname is Wei, who is Wei Zhonghe?"

"As far as Master Hou is concerned, Duke Wei is the slave's godfather."

"Godfather? You know, even if Wei Zhonghe himself came, he wouldn't dare to speak to Ben Hou like this!"

"The slave has only one master in this life, and the life of the slave belongs to the master. If the slave dares to ask Lord Hou to calm down, after the master calms down, the slave will serve tea for him!"

"What if the Marquis doesn't?"

"That slave..."

Wei Zhen's lowered arms and sleeves began to fly up, and green light dances began to flicker from his cuffs.

"Shua!"

All the soldiers were about to step forward, but Jingnan Hou raised his hand to stop them.

Wei Zhen lowered his head and continued:

"Master Hou, this servant is the best at making tea, and the tea made by this servant is praised even by His Royal Highness."

According to legend, when the first emperor seized the throne, he fell into a crisis and was expelled from Beijing.

The qi refiner was seriously injured. Although he survived, even that position was lost in the fight.

After the first emperor won the throne, the qi refiner became the head of the inner palace. Since then, all qualified eunuchs in the palace have to learn qi refinement and treat them as grand masters.

Eunuch Zhang next to the sixth prince is also a Qi refiner.

The same is true for this Eunuch Wei Zhenwei.

However, Zheng Fan didn't worry much about Jingnan Hou's safety.

Because Zheng Fan once asked Chen Daxia why he didn't go to trouble Jingnanhou,

Chen Daxia replied honestly: Tian Wujing, I can't beat him.

This is enough to show that this Lord Hou is definitely a master of martial arts, even Zheng Fan estimated that his martial arts realm may not be inferior to Sha Tuo Queshi, and he was Sha Tuo Queshi in his lifetime!

Jingnan Hou saw that the eunuch seemed ready to fight with himself,

Smile instead of anger,

road:

"Are you... stalling for time?"

"The slave dare not, the slave..."

The voice did not fall,

There was a loud howl in the distance,

"The decree has arrived!"

Zheng Fan turned his head to look, and the messenger came alone. Although he was walking on the ground, the speed of his steps was jaw-dropping.

In just a few breaths, the person who was shouting from a distance before had entered the mansion and came to the courtyard, but the person who came was not flushed or out of breath, his face was pink and humble, and there was a bit of femininity in it. clang.

What Zheng Fan didn't know was that this was the Marquis of Jingnan who wanted to introduce him several times, and the supervisor of Dayan's Rites was in charge of Wei Zhonghe, Eunuch Wei.

"The imperial decree has arrived, the third prince Ji Chengyue accepts the decree!"

Wei Zhonghe stood in the center holding the imperial decree.

Third Highness Ji Chengyue took a step forward and knelt down,

"My son is here!"

Tan Guang, the third prince's seat teacher, also knelt down to receive the order.

Standing there, Jingnanhou turned around and faced Wei Zhonghe.

Wei Zhonghe hurriedly said with a smile on his face:

"Your Majesty has something to say, the Marquis of Jingnan guarded the country's frontiers, worked hard, and the country has a pillar country. The people are lucky, the Yan is lucky, and I am so lucky. Don't kneel."

Jingnanhou clasped his fists together,

Said very calmly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

immediately,

Jingnanhou simply walked to the stone table and sat down on the stone chair beside it.

have to,

Zheng Fan and the guards, who were still checking whether their Lord Hou knelt before, understood now.

"crash"

Immediately, they all put down their weapons and knelt down.

Needless to say, this is the first time Zheng Fan knelt down to receive an imperial edict.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict said: The three princes, Chengyue, are not filial to me at the top, and are not fraternal to brothers at the bottom. They are not virtuous. From now on, they will be demoted to common people. They will be expelled from the prince's mansion and will be surrounded by the island in the center of the lake forever."

"My son Ji Chengyue accepts the order, long live the father, long live, long live!"

Third Highness Ji Chengyue raised his hands after kowtowing three times, indicating that he would accept the order.

This decree meant that the third prince was unfilial to his father and unfriendly to his brothers, so he was deposed as a common man, and the last one was to be imprisoned on the island in the middle of the lake forever.

Zheng Fan doesn't know where the island in the middle of the lake is, but it feels like it should be similar to the ancient pagoda of Yongfangning in the Qing palace drama.

So, this is the end?

Zheng Fan raised his head slightly curiously to look at the third highness, the third highness is really good-looking, with delicate features, and indeed has such a scholarly atmosphere.

However, with this decree, even if the third prince is completely finished, there is almost no possibility of a comeback.

at this time,

Wei Zhen stood up suddenly,

With a peaceful smile on his face,

Zheng Fan and the surrounding guards immediately picked up their knives and stood up on guard.

Wei Zhen first looked at Wei Zhonghe,

Wei Zhonghe avoided his gaze, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly,

immediately,

Wei Zhen looked at the third prince again, and the third prince also looked at him.

"Your Highness, I have just sinned against Lord Hou. I know that I have committed a serious crime. It is a pity that I will no longer be able to make tea for Your Highness."

immediately,

Around again:

"Godfather, forgive my son for being unfilial and unable to take care of his godfather."

After all,

Wei Zhen stretched out his arms, as if there were silver snakes flying in his palms, and then he slammed his palms on his chest.

"Poof! Poof!"

Wei Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood,

There are two sprays of blood mist spraying out from the back position.

next moment,

Wei Zhen's body shook for a while, and he fell to the ground.

Zheng Fan didn't know what level of Qi refiner this Wei Zhen was. Of course, this question is meaningless now, because he is dead and has committed suicide.

Earlier, when he dared to stand in front of Marquis Jingnan, he had already risked his life.

He knew that if Jingnanhou didn't take action against him, it was because he didn't take action, but it was absolutely impossible for Jingnanhou to let him leave here alive.

I am just an eunuch, high and low, and cannot be discarded!

He didn't kill himself, even if his godfather Wei Zhonghe came to clean up the house himself, he didn't want Wei Zhonghe to commit suicide himself, it would only make his godfather more painful.

At the moment Wei Zhen fell down, Wei Zhonghe opened his mouth, his eyes were a little red.

immediately,

Tan Guang, the seat teacher of His Highness the Third Highness, stood up, picked up the teacup by his side,

road:

"It was our lack of thoughtfulness that harmed His Highness."

After all,

Drink the tea in the cup in one gulp.

The third prince, who knelt on the ground and raised his hands up as a gesture of receiving the decree, said:

"It was Cheng Yue who was unprepared, and I was ashamed to meet the expectations of all the masters."

"No, Your Highness the Third Highness possesses the aura of my Great Yan Wenhua, but thanks to my Great Yan Shengshi Taiping, we are willing to follow Your Highness!

Your Highness, don't give up on yourself, you must know that the heaven will send a great task to the people of Sri Lanka, and you must first work hard on your muscles and bones.

On the island in the middle of the lake, please read more, Your Highness. "

"Cheng Yue thanked Master for teaching, the island in the center of the lake is quiet and suitable for reading."

"In that case, I will go first, Your Highness, take care."

finished speaking,

A ray of blood had overflowed from the corner of Tan Guang's mouth, Tan Guang covered his chest with one hand and staggered back a few steps,

"Take care of yourself……"

"Plop!"

Tan Guang fell to the ground.

The Third Highness, who knelt on the ground and still maintained the posture of receiving the order, closed his eyes.

softly said:

"Master, take care."

Wei Zhonghe took a deep breath, and stopped looking at Wei Zhen's body lying on the ground, but put the imperial decree in the hands of His Highness the Third Highness.

"Common man Ji Chengyue, the secret agent's prison car is already waiting outside the prince's mansion, let's go with our house."

"Yes, Eunuch Wei."

Ji Chengyue stood up slowly.

Wei Zhonghe took another look at Jingnanhou who was sitting there, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty has worked hard to return to Beijing. Your Majesty said that today is the day when the Empress and Empress return home to visit her relatives. It is also the day when the family members reunite and share family relationships. Today, I will not announce that Lord Marquis will enter the palace for an audience."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zhonghe bowed slightly to Jingnanhou, then turned his head and urged:

"The common man, Ji Chengyue, hasn't left with our family yet."

Wei Zhonghe walked in front, and the third prince Ji Chengyue followed behind.

Starting today, one of the seven princes of Dayan will be expelled. In this life, it is hard to say whether Ji Chengyue will be able to leave the island in the middle of the lake.

Even if this generation of Emperor Yan died and his brother succeeded to the next generation, it would be impossible to issue an edict to release him.

Zheng Fan sighed in his heart. He often sighed with Blind Bei that before, when he faced Xu Wenzu, when he faced the Sixth Prince and later Jingnan Hou, he was like a gambler sitting at a poker table. Every time, you have to face the situation of stud.

Looking at it now, even if he is a prince, he is actually no different from a gambler sitting at a gambling table.

If you make a wrong step, you will lose everything as well.

However,

at this time,

"Wait."

It was the Marquis of Jingnan who spoke.

next moment,

Hundreds of guards including Zheng Fan immediately blocked Wei Zhonghe and the third prince Ji Chengyue behind him.

Wei Zhonghe's heart immediately burst into anger. He is the chief inspector of ceremonies. In the palace, even the princes and concubines have to carefully call himself "Wei Gong". How can I see this kind of treatment of myself on weekdays? battle?

But Wei Zhonghe also knew very well that this group of frontier soldiers only recognized the military orders of their own generals and did not recognize any imperial edicts.

Be patient, continue to be careful,

Wei Zhonghe turned around and looked at Jingnanhou who was still sitting there, and said:

"My lord, what else do you want to order?"

Jingnanhou didn't go to see Wei Zhonghe, but put the horsewhip in his hand on the stone table,

Slowly said:

"This decree, the Marquis will not accept."
