The Golden Hairpin - Chapter 295

The emperor stared at the old manuscript by the first emperor, the muscles on his face twitched, and the blue complexion and the twitching skin looked extremely terrible. After watching for a long time, he closed his eyes again, leaned on the couch behind him, and laughed lowly: “Wang Zongshi, as I said earlier, just tear it up and burn it, who… dare to pursue what the first emperor wrote before his death. Where did it go? Or, give the Zhang family a fire… even if this thing is burned together, it will be a hundred… You just think he is still useful, and you refuse to start!”

“The minister can’t believe it… this is impossible!” Wang Zongshi whispered, “How can there be such a method in the world that can peel off the two layers of ink and restore the writing below?!”

“Duke, the world is so big, there are no wonders. You are too credulous about your own knowledge.” Huang Zixia said, and sighed softly, “It’s just that Princess Chen is too pitiful. She served the emperor in the temple that night, and she must have known about it. , So he was given the spirit of contemplation by Master Mu Shan, first came forward to give Zhang Weiyi the will, then went mad, and only awake for a while in the first life, leaving a warning for King E. Unfortunately, it was counterproductive!”

“She actually wakes up?” Wang Zongshi asked with a sorrowful smile on his face, “What did she do?”

Huang Zixian took a deep breath, slowly rolled up the jute paper in her hand, and said: “The toffee left a graffiti on King E, which is almost the same as the altered edict-presumably, that should be her madness. The most profound scene in her mind before. Although she was crazy, but because of her will, she felt that King Kui would compete for the throne again, so she reminded King E to worry about King Ku, for fear that he would be involved in this political struggle. Unexpectedly, King E would do this. The words were regarded as a complaint by his mother against King Kui, and he himself really liked an older woman, so it further contributed to his suspicion and resentment towards King Kui. After falling into madness, he just bludgeoned the horns, regardless of whether it was incompatible with him. What is reasonable will not be understood until death.”

The emperor pointed to the handwriting in her hand, his throat rattled, and asked in an unspoken tone: “What? What do you want to do with the emperor’s last ten years ago? The world today is my world. Is it possible…The fourth brother thought, what big waves he could make?”

“The minister did not ask for anything, but your majesty took too much precautions against the minister.” Li Shubai stood upright under the steps, raised his head and said lightly, “Since the minister has settled the rebellion in Xuzhou, your majesty wants to borrow from the minister. Suppressing the prince, and for fear that the minister will have a double heart, and have moved countless strange hands and feet on the minister, it is really unnecessary.”

The emperor only smiled coldly, helped the Queen and Queen to sit down slowly, leaned on the couch, and kept silent.

“Your Majesty arranges manpower around the courtiers and keeps an eye on the trends. Why do you still have to give a weird charm to keep the courtiers in perplexity at all times?”

The emperor only coldly took the muscles of his mouth, showing a smile that seemed to be resentful: “How did I hear…that was transformed by the evil spirit of Pang Xun, wanting you to get revenge?”

Li Shubai stared at him with a calm voice: “Your Majesty is deliberately trying to make people manipulate this spell next to his younger brother. Could it be that at this time, his younger brother will become an evil spirit among the population, and he has also manipulated King E to identify and kill himself. Our brother?”

“No! I… don’t want to kill you.” The emperor’s voice was dry, like a mute sound of rotten tree roots being split apart, “I have been the most envious and jealous since I was a child. Shu Bai…you are smart, Cute, loved by my father. I was thrown to the narrow Prince Yun’s mansion when I was ten years old, and you…you grow up so old, and my father still reluctant to leave the palace, every time I enter the palace, I see you sitting in my father’s palace. When I was in the arms of the emperor, after I went back, I would cry a lot…”

The muscles on his face were twisted and his body curled up, as if he was still a child, and he was still crying. The Queen stroked his back and whispered to him: “Your Majesty, don’t get too excited, please feel relieved…”

“However, I finally became the emperor. One is that I married a woman from the royal family. The other is…Second, I look weak and incompetent. I am more in control than you… Isn’t it? The prince?” His gaze was straight. Staring straight at Wang Zongshi, his voice hoarse.

Wang Zongshi stood there motionless, his jaw tightened. After a long time, he bowed to him and said: “Your Majesty is so worried.”

“Huh…” He didn’t care, he just murmured, “Father is going to pass the throne to you before he dies. Therefore, after I became the throne, I should kill you immediately… But, did I do it? I don’t! I just want to watch you rotting silently and silently in King Kui’s mansion in this life, and let the father in the sky take a look, how much this child he has high hopes for will kneel down in front of me for a lifetime. For a lifetime…hahaha…”

He laughed miserably, his breath was dying, and in the end he couldn’t make a sound, his throat was still humming.

Huang Zixian looked at Li Shubai silently, but saw that he just pressed his lips together and stared at the emperor on the steps without saying a word.

“I still remember that in the Pangxun chaos, Ji Duan did not listen to the deployment, you actually wrote to ask me to help me. Okay… I will see how you deploy the pack of wolves, and the final death is miserable! I thought you would be inexplicable. I died outside, but I didn’t expect you to come back… This is the beginning of your high spirits, and the Datang imperial family also has a new look. Even Wang Zongshi has begun to fear you and persuade me to clean up you soon… No! I think that I have seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch you fight you to death or death, then I can sit and watch the result, and govern…”

Wang Zongshi looked at Li Shubai coldly, and said nothing.

The queen hugged the emperor’s trembling arm and whispered: “Your Majesty, don’t get too excited, your concubines should help you go to the apse to rest first…”

The emperor raised his arms to brush her away, but his arm was weak, how could he get rid of it? Only huh hu hu faintly panted, and murmured: “But I didn’t want to kill you… I used that spell to make you scared, to make you scared, and I hope there is something that can let me control you… Fourth Brother … If you, like everyone else, believe in fate, believe in ghosts and gods, or even ask me for help out of fear, wouldn’t everything be alright?”

Li Shubai looked at the emperor’s dizzy eyes staring at him, slowly raised his hand to salute him, and said, “Please forgive me, my minister, in this life, don’t believe in ghosts and gods.”

“You, there is another Huang Zixia. You see one prediction come true, but you still don’t believe in evil…” The emperor’s hand dropped weakly on the couch, trying to make a fist, but he couldn’t bend his fingers because of exhaustion. He could only do nothing. Staring at them, their voice was so muffled that they were almost inaudible, “Fourth brother, if you weren’t so stubborn… if you were willing to believe your life, bow your head… why would I have come to where I am today with you?”

“So, what about the Seventh Brother?” Li Shubai asked slowly, “The Seventh Brother has always respected and loved your Majesty. What has he hindered your Majesty? In order to deal with me, your Majesty is willing to abandon it?”

“I don’t want to give up!” His voice trembled, and he wanted to scream, but he had no strength. He could only squeeze out the broken words from his chest word by word, “It was him… Everything, go to Wang Mojie’s Wang Chuan Bieye to practice behind closed doors…How could I promise him? He… is the prince of the dynasty, even if he practices, he must be in…the palace…”

“It was the old slave who persuaded Your Majesty and agreed to King E’s request.” Seeing that he was really unable to speak, Wang Zongshi said lightly: “Your Majesty’s Dragon Body was not hesitating, and was worrying about how to arrange His Majesty King Kui. The two assassinations in Shu were not successful. On the contrary, we caught up with Princess Qile, Your Royal Highness King Kui, which made us very troublesome. Therefore, before we estimated that you returned to Beijing, we served King E with fish eggs and arranged for various institutions, and finally succeeded. Let King E promise to expose your crime in front of the people of the world. It is not easy to say it.”

That’s it, everything has been announced frankly. Li Shubai took a long breath and watched the sunlight shining in from outside the hollow carved window. The dark and bright parts of the hall were very different.

They stood under the thin sunlight, while the emperor sat in the darkest place. In the palace lanterns in the hall, the candlelights have been decimated one after another, and there is no ray of light standing on them, making their faces appear blurred.
