Winner in life

Chapter 924 70 The eldest son

《Life Winner [Quick Transmigration]》

Unfortunately, the plan was only a plan after all. The new emperor had never summoned him alone. He and the new emperor only had the opportunity to meet each other during the court meeting in the main hall. Even if he himself strived for the opportunity to see the emperor and asked for an audience on the pretext of official business, the new emperor would only summon him in the main hall of the Qinzheng Hall, with palace servants serving on both sides.

The new emperor sat on the high seat, and he was under the steps. The gap between the two was like this insurmountable distance.

Perhaps it was because of the return to the court that year that the journey left too many shadows on the new emperor. After he ascended the throne, he was keen to let Wei Zhenshan know every time he summoned him that he would always be the one in the higher position between the two of them. The clouds in the sky and the mud on the ground were the best portrayal of their relationship.

Ruihe didn't know what the new emperor was thinking, but only thought that the new emperor paid attention to the pomp.

Ruihe couldn't find a chance to hypnotize the new emperor, and he was helpless. With his martial arts, he couldn't break into the Yangxin Palace at night and attack the emperor under the strict palace ban and the protection of heavy guards and secret guards.

After the New Year's banquet, Ruihe could feel the new emperor's gaze on him at every big court meeting. It passed by with endless deep meaning.

In the spring of the following year, Ruihe was poisoned. The person who poisoned him was a deadly warrior with strong hiding skills. He committed suicide immediately after being caught. Ruihe shook the poisoned tea cup and could not smell the smell of the medicine. It can be seen that this is a very rare colorless and tasteless poison. He ordered people to catch two mice. With just one drop, the two mice died immediately.

Such a strange poison can only be obtained by the royal family.

This is the new emperor's move on him.

The new emperor must know that he was poisoned that year. Maybe he didn't do it to him in the past two years because he wanted to wait for him to die. As a result, he didn't die, so he started to reduce his military power. This year, seeing that he was still alive, he sent someone to poison him. He put down the teacup and waved his hand: "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case."

"Yes."

The body of the dead soldier was dragged away. The door opened and closed, and he was the only one left in the study. Ruihe took out the latest secret report, which was sent by General Zhaoyong, who was actually the former General Yongding. After the war, General Yongding was also rewarded and his rank was promoted.

Since Ruihe returned to Beijing last year, the new emperor began to clean up the border city army. This emperor did not dare to reduce the army like the previous emperor, but just sent people he trusted to replace the original generals. Perhaps in the eyes of the new emperor, the generals of the eighteen cities who had heard him dispatch were no longer trustworthy, so he had to reshuffle the border city generals.

General Zhaoyong said that three cities had changed their generals, and the original generals were all transferred away. The new general of Suicheng was the uncle of the new emperor's mother's family. This person loved pomp and circumstance. When he arrived in the border city, he said he would hold a banquet and sent invitations to all the eighteen cities. General Zhaoyong accepted the invitation and left. The letter said that the banquet was very luxurious, with beautiful women everywhere. The new general of Suicheng was rich and lazy, which was incompatible with the wind and sand of the border town. He also lamented in the letter that Ruihe was also a nobleman in Yanjing City, and he did not behave like this when he first arrived in the border town. The new general had just arrived and took several local beauties as concubines. When General Zhaoyong wrote the letter, the new general had just taken his concubine and guards to the grassland for spring hunting.

Feeling the anger between the lines of the letter, Ruihe had no choice but to write a reply.

A few days later, Ruihe and Gu Huaiyu went to the restaurant for dinner, and the newly served soup was poisonous again. As soon as the dishes were served, Ruihe stopped Gu Huaiyu who wanted to serve the soup and looked at the guards, who immediately controlled the waiter.

"Shan'er?" Gu Huaiyu was surprised.

"The soup is poisonous." Ruihe took a spoonful into the bowl and smelled it carefully, confirming that it was poisonous. He looked at the waiter, who was already scared and cried out that it was unfair, saying that their restaurant was a century-old restaurant, how could they poison the guests' food?

"Go report to the police."

Gu Huaiyu was very scared: "Could it be that person?"

Ruihe nodded gently: "Otherwise, why would I make a big fuss? The last time someone poisoned my house, it was a death warrior. The poison they used was an extremely rare colorless and tasteless poison. Who else could have this secret medicine except the royal family?" No, or should I say, who else could control this medicine except the emperor?

However, with Ruihe's experience of traveling through time over the years, he knew that this poison was extremely rare. Even if there was a very small amount in the royal treasury, there would only be a very small amount. The death warrior came to the house to poison that day, and he must have come with the purpose of hitting the target with one shot, so he used that strange poison. After failing, the new emperor might not have a second dose of poison. Sure enough, everything was peaceful in the mansion until today when he went out for dinner...

"What should we do? There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand years. If there is one, there will be another. Will you not eat or drink in the future?" Gu Huaiyu was worried.

"Don't worry, since he has already taken action, he will not stop. I will let Yunshu take you back to the mansion!"

Jingzhao Mansion surrounded the restaurant and arrested all the people in the kitchen of the restaurant for interrogation. All those who had handled the bowl of soup were brought out for intensive interrogation, but nothing was found. The cook in charge of stewing the soup said that he had tasted the saltiness and was still alive and well, which showed that the poison was added after leaving the kitchen. The waiter who served the dishes swore that he did not poison, and after interrogation, no problems were found. Ruihe suggested: "Maybe it was poisoned on the way to my private room. My lord, check if anyone else has approached this bowl of soup."

There were no surveillance videos in this era. The waiter had met several customers in the corridor. Looking back, he only recognized one of them who was a regular customer. The other customers couldn't remember which one he was. Besides, before Jingzhao Mansion comes, who has the authority to lock up the guests in the restaurant and prevent them from leaving? After knowing that something had happened, 90% of the guests had already left, except for some lively guests who had not yet left.

Ruihe knew that the murderer would definitely not be found. A dead soldier can sneak into the heavily guarded Marquis Mansion and poison him. Poisoning in a restaurant like this is as easy as drinking water. All he wanted was to spread the news about his successive assassinations and expand their influence.

On that day, due to his deliberate spreading, the news that he was poisoned while eating in a restaurant spread throughout Yanjing City.

"The general reported for service a few days ago, right? I remember that at that time, someone also entered the prince's mansion and poisoned him!"

"That's right, that's right. I also remember that the general is the hero of our Dayan. How can there be evil people who want to harm him?"

"Oh, isn't it written in the text of the play that this is called the master of great power and shock? Do you think this is the truth?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. If Lin Yiwei hears it, your whole family will die!"

The new emperor had a sullen face: "Why is Wei Zhenshan so lucky!" The poison in the first round was a palace secret medicine, which was very precious. When it was passed to him, only one copy was left. He specially sent death warriors who were good at hiding and trying to poison Wei Zhenshan to death in one fell swoop. As a result, the man left and never came back. The next day, Wei Zhenshan was still alive and kicking at the court meeting, which made him extremely angry. The second time, he thought about poisoning outside. Who would stare closely at the kitchen when eating in a restaurant outside? Unexpectedly, Wei Zhenshan could really avoid it again.

"I originally wanted to let him die quietly, but now it seems that it can't be done." The new emperor still doesn't know the public speculation about this matter, and public opinion has secretly dragged him into the water. He said to the secret guard commander: "Direct assassination Can he do it?"

Of course you can.

The emperor's secret guards are not ordinary people like Princess Ninghe who were only trained for a few years. They know that their methods are extraordinary as soon as they make a move.

Ruihe was assassinated on his way to the imperial city to attend the imperial meeting in the morning. He didn't like to ride in a sedan or carriage, so he rode to attend the court meeting by himself, with only ten personal guards following him. A total of twenty royal elite dead soldiers attacked, Ruihe's expression changed, he drew his sword and took the lead to meet them.

This morning, the new emperor was absent-minded early in the morning. He actually knew that he did not have to kill Wei Zhenshan. He had already handed over military power to the other party and had stayed in Yanjing City honestly over the past year. It seemed more beneficial to him not to kill him. Even if he wanted to kill him, he would have to wait a few more years for Wei Zhenshan's reputation from the victory in the border town to fade before taking action.

But he couldn't bear it. He didn't need to do anything to be selected and trained by the late emperor. The elder brother who bullied him is now three feet tall with grass in front of his grave. Compared with other brothers, his future was paved for him by the late emperor. To be honest I haven't suffered much grievance. The only thing that he still hasn't let go of is what happened when he returned to Beijing after winning the game two years ago.

If he didn't know Wei Zhenshan's life experience, he might not be so aggrieved.

However, he learned the truth from Princess Ninghe. They were both of royal blood, but he was older, so Wei Zhenshan's appearance was a bit unsightly. My father's trust in Wei Zhenshan seems to have other intentions... He is my father's most satisfactory heir!

Of course, with so many explanations, the new emperor just didn't want to admit that it was actually because he had no tolerance for others and was petty.

He is the emperor anyway, how can he allow himself to be wronged?

The new emperor, who did not want to be wronged, did not see Ruihe at the court meeting and was satisfied. But his happy mood was soon disrupted. He heard the news after going to court, and Wei Zhenshan reported the crime again.

"How is that possible?!" The new emperor slapped the table, "Didn't you promise me that everything would be perfect?!"

The secret guard commander knelt down in shame to accept the crime. He overestimated the abilities of his men and underestimated the abilities of Marquis Xinying's men.

All the soldiers killed in the assassination were dead, and Jingzhao Mansion could not get any clues from the corpses. Ruihe went to the palace to see the emperor and asked the emperor to make the decision. At this time, the emperor was already aware of the public discussion, which made him even more angry. On his face, he had to appease the minister of society and state, saying that he would get justice.

"Your Majesty said this, I will feel at ease." Rui He bowed and raised it, but when he turned around, he asked someone to publicize the assassination case.

After encountering three assassinations in just one month, any fool would know that something was wrong.

Princess Ninghe grabbed her handkerchief: "There seems to be something weird about Wei Zhenshan. Is there really someone with such strong luck?" She failed back then, and now the new emperor has also failed. Could it be... She bit her lower lip: Is Wei Zhenshan the real chosen one? m.,Please remember:,.
