Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 514 Tiger Talisman
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a while, and the two didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Yu Zhi was about to resign, the queen said quietly: "Do you think that you can really be a free king?"
Yu Zhi looked at her puzzled, as long as he was willing to withdraw from the capital and stop meddling in government affairs, would the prince still want to kill him?
"Oh, do you know that your father is about to wake up? He knows better than anyone else what happened that day. He will soon find out the truth about Concubine Zhang's death. You and I murdered her together. Could it be that you still Thinking that I can stay out of it?" The queen said, if it wasn't like this, she didn't have to be in a hurry.
Yu Zhi's eyes widened. Father, who has been unconscious all this time, is about to wake up?
"Didn't you say that he will never wake up?!"
"Perhaps it was because the prince was established. He felt that the Wei Dynasty was stable, and he had no resentment in his heart, so he gradually got better. I wanted to kill Yu Ji with the hands of Mr. Zhang. When the time comes, I will go to your father's bedside." As soon as I said it, I guarantee that he will not be able to withstand the stimulus and die immediately. The mourning of the Great Wei State, the whole country mourns, and Yu Qiu, the prince, will not be able to escape. At that time, as long as I do something a little bit, he will die young like you My fourth uncle is the same."
The queen sneered, but Yu Zhi understood something extraordinary from her words.
"Fourth...fourth uncle is you—because you said this to the emperor, he vomited blood and passed out?" Yu Zhi has always been curious about what the queen said that day. If it was this, he could understand why the emperor was so angry Stimulated.
Knowing his poor health back then, his father had high hopes for his fourth uncle, caring more about him than their children.As a matter of course, the queen is also very kind to their mother and child, so good that everyone is off guard.
Later, for some reason, the fourth uncle's mother assassinated the first queen, and then the fourth uncle knelt before the spirit all day long in order to make up for the crime of his biological mother, performing the duties of a filial son.On the day of the queen's burial, he finally fainted, with a persistent high fever, and later died.
But it turned out that all of this came from the hands of the queen mother!
"Yeah, I didn't expect him to wake up! Now it seems that he is also a ruthless person." The queen smiled contemptuously, "So you have made up your mind that you are going to be your so-called free king , or together with Bengong, hold the power in your own hands before your father wakes up?"
Yu Zhi couldn't speak for a while, he didn't know what to say.The vow just now disappeared following the queen's words, and now his mind is full of what might happen after his father wakes up.
"...I still have 2000 men outside the city," he said.
The queen laughed: "That's right, how could the queen mother harm you? When you become emperor, you can do whatever you want, and the palace will never interfere. Don't worry about the 2000 people, I have my own way to let them in .”
"When... are you going to do it?" Yu Zhi asked.
"After the Lantern Festival, on the day that bitch was buried, I will send them to the underworld for a reunion. Mrs. Zhang has already asked for a lavish burial for her, and the ministers will send her to Ming Siling on that day. We just need to arrange everything in advance. , and then take the palace, it will be safe."
"..." Yu Zhi wanted her to change the time so as not to disturb the peace of the concubine mother, but he opened his mouth but didn't make any sound.
"You just need to write a letter to your people, and I will handle everything else." The queen was obviously satisfied that he didn't speak against her.
After a long silence, Yu Zhi said "yes".
After he left Kunde Palace, he avoided people all the way back to Xiuchun Palace.He thought his whereabouts were hidden, but all of this was under Zhang Fuhai's control.
The queen can send someone to watch their every move, so naturally he can do the same.As Tianhedi's confidant, he naturally has many useful people on hand.
"Go down." After listening, Zhang Fuhai waved his hand.
"Yes." After the humble little eunuch saluted, he returned from the original place.
The Queen asked His Highness the Second Highness to stay there for a quarter of an hour. What were they discussing?Zhang Fuhai couldn't figure it out, so he had to temporarily press the matter, and then became worried about Mrs. Wen and Chu Ci.
Mrs. Wen's side went smoothly. After he arrived at Tixue Division in a carriage, someone came to greet him immediately.It was almost the Lantern Festival at this time, and in a few days, when the major academies recruited students, they were discussing the regulations.
Seeing Mrs. Wen coming over, they thought they were here to inspect their work, and dragged him to introduce him respectfully for a long time before they stopped.
Mrs. Wen was a little anxious, but she still listened patiently, and after giving her opinion, she signaled that they had something to talk to Chu Ci about.
"Our lord Tongzhi is so amazing that Mrs. Wen came to look for him in person." This person was transferred from another place in the past two years. He originally thought that he could take over the position of Tongzhi, but he didn't expect that A Chu Ci was born, and during this period of time, he said some sour words.
"When he was still in charge of the Imperial Academy, Mrs. Wen, the old man, paid special attention to him, not to mention that this time, Mrs. Taifu personally transferred him back to the capital from southern Fujian. You should say less in the future Let me see, he shouldn't stay in this position for long."
After hearing this, the man immediately fell silent.He heard the words of his colleagues very clearly, it seems that this Chu Ci has a lot of background.
When Taifu Wen found Chu Ci, he was staying in the warehouse, checking the previous documents one by one.His character has always been like this, no matter how big or small, as long as he does it, he takes it seriously.
"Teacher, what is your order for me?" Chu Ci hurriedly turned around to salute upon hearing the report.
Taifu Wen said: "There is no need to be too polite, the old man came here to tell you something."
Chu Ci understood, and immediately asked people to go out and guard the door.As soon as they went out, Mrs. Wen took out the box and handed it over.
"This is?" Chu Ci took the box and opened it, and after seeing what was inside, he almost blurted out.
Isn't this a Tiger Talisman?He had seen it in the literature before, although this piece was a little different from the one in the history books, it was clearly a tiger charm!
"Teacher, why are you giving this to me? Even if I take the tiger charm, it's useless." Chu Ci couldn't laugh or cry. As a civil servant, even if he held the tiger charm high in the barracks, he couldn't command the three armies.
Mrs. Wen shook her head and said, "This is not what I gave you, it is what His Majesty asked me to give you."
Chu Ci was shocked: "Has the Holy One woke up?"
Mrs. Wen shook her head with a gloomy expression: "Zhang Fuhai said that His Majesty only woke up briefly once, and after telling him about this matter, he fell into a coma again."
"That's it." So what's the use of the Holy Admiral giving this thing to himself?
Since ancient times, the Tiger Talisman has been a token for dispatching troops. Whenever there is a war in the court, the Holy Majesty will hand over the Tiger Talisman to the general leading the army so that he can command the three armies.
The most recent war was the war to aid Vietnam. After they returned from a great victory, General Li Zhi returned the tiger amulet, and it has been placed in Tianhedi's place since then.
"Could it be that the Holy Majesty expected that there would be a war, so he asked Mr. Zhang to take out this thing first, so as to be prepared?" Chu Ci gave a hypothesis, but he immediately overturned himself, "Impossible, let alone the two countries In recent years, it should be unintentional to fight, even if there is, the old man can't predict the future, right? Then it should be given to the military officer, why should I do it?"
Mrs. Wen also didn't understand, facing Chu Ci's puzzled expression, she just shook her head and remained silent.
Chu Ci had to think to himself, it wasn't a war, so why did he need the Tiger Talisman?Is there any danger in the capital that needs to mobilize soldiers?
In the blink of an eye, Chu Ci thought of a possibility: "Gong Bian!"
Taifu Wen turned pale when he heard these two words. When the first emperor came to power, someone launched a palace coup. Although it was unsuccessful, the bloody scene at that time was still deeply imprinted in Taifu Wen's heart.He was just a small editor at the Hanlin Academy at the time, and after witnessing that scene, he couldn't eat a bite of food for three days.
"Why are you so suspicious?!" Mrs. Wen asked, this matter is no small matter, he believed that Chu Ci would not just talk about it.
Chu Ci said: "Since the eldest prince revealed the secret in the early court, there have been rumors in the court and the public. Everyone has different opinions, and there is one theory. After I heard it, I think it is very possible."
That is, if what the eldest prince said is true, then the second prince is the queen's biological son.This can also explain why Concubine Zhang Guifei and the First Prince died and passed out in the palace that day, but the First Prince was taken away by the Imperial Forest Army.
In the early morning that day, he observed the second prince.When he mentioned the death of Concubine Zhang Gui, when he looked at the First Prince, there was no resentment in his eyes, but a bit of remorse and sadness.Then the person who killed the noble concubine could only be the queen.
In order not to reveal the truth, the Queen was so angry that the Holy Majesty vomited blood and passed out, and then knocked the eldest prince unconscious.Concubine Zhang already knew that the eldest prince was her own son, so she stepped forward to defend her, but was killed by the empress.And the second prince didn't stop him, so he felt regretful.
The reason why the empress made such a big mistake was to make the second prince the crown prince, but she didn't expect that the Holy Majesty would have a backup, and she had already sent Zhang Fuhai to find Prince Chun with the imperial decree.
At first they thought that the person who set up barriers to prevent Yu Qiu from entering the capital was the second prince, but the one who stopped him outside the city gate was the queen's second brother.At that time, Chu Ci felt that something was wrong. After proving that his parents and children had killed people, how could anyone devote all their efforts to help others ascend to the throne?If it is because of guilt, it is too reluctant!
To sum up the above reasons, that's why Chuci will expose her tricks when the queen wants to design Yu Ji.Now that she heard that the Holy Majesty might wake up, it is not impossible for her to decide to take the risk in a panic!
But how did the Holy Majesty know about this, and suddenly woke up last night, and asked Zhang Fuhai to send out the tiger talisman?
Could it be that his consciousness has not been completely lost?
Just when Yu Zhi was about to resign, the queen said quietly: "Do you think that you can really be a free king?"
Yu Zhi looked at her puzzled, as long as he was willing to withdraw from the capital and stop meddling in government affairs, would the prince still want to kill him?
