The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 148

Dragon Head Palace.

After the Taoist monks left, the Supreme Emperor Yang Bing slowly returned to the Dragon Head Palace.

All the way through the imperial garden, looking at the green pines and cypresses in the garden, even in the cold winter, the emperor couldn't help sighing:
"In life, if you don't learn that willows are green for half a year, you should envy pines and cypresses that are green all year round!"

Dai Quan walked on the side of the Supreme Emperor's Chengyu. Hearing this, his eyes flickered for a while, and he lowered his head a little...

With Dai Quan's support, the Supreme Emperor returned to the lower tower of the Dragon Head Palace.

Leaning on the short platform, the Supreme Emperor whispered to himself, "The emperor has been married for so many years, but he only gave birth to three maids, and one heir is missing. It must be what the two old gods said, there is no heir. up.

In this way, my Great Zhou's country can only be continued by the boss's Yang Ming, and there will inevitably be another turmoil..."

Then he asked Dai Quan on the side: "It is said that the emperor went to Zhao Wuhou's mansion at night the day before yesterday and didn't come back until he was close to Chou?"

Dai Quan replied: "Report to the Supreme Emperor, it is true!"

"Dai Quan, you analyze it for me. The day after meeting the emperor, Jia Jing called a banquet for those who were in power from the founding line of the country. What are they going to do?"

The Supreme Emperor's voice was deep and low, but when it reached Dai Quan's ears, it was not much different from a thunderclap, which made Dai Quan tremble with fear.

"Marquis Zhao Wu has always been loyal to the emperor, or maybe it's just an ordinary banquet!"

Dai Quanhui was also a little trembling when it came to a big boss who held military power in the DPRK and China.

"Loyalty to the monarch and the country?"

The Taishanghuang chanted again, and when his eyes rolled, he suddenly had a plan.

"Dai Quan, go to Marquis Zhaowu's mansion and send Jia Jing to me!"

"Yes!"

Dai Quan bowed in response, went outside and ordered two young eunuchs, and followed him to the outside of the palace.

After leaving the Dragon's Head Palace and passing by a young eunuch who was pruning branches, a small ball of paper was quietly transferred from Dai Quan to the little eunuch's hand.

……

Regarding the actions of the Supreme Emperor this time, Dai Quan was undoubtedly not optimistic.

Not to mention that Emperor Hongde has been on the throne for many years, how many people have secretly supported him; it is not difficult to know the reaction of the founding lineage after Emperor Hongde went to Zhaowuhou's mansion this time. It is already clear that the chariots and horses are ready to support Emperor Hongde.

Even if the Supreme Emperor left an edict to pass on the throne, how effective is it?
Unknowable!

After all, since the turmoil that year, Prince Zhongshun has formed a deep hatred with the founding of the country.

Therefore, between Emperor Hongde and Prince Zhongshun, Dai Quan asked himself how the founding lineage would choose, even a fool could guess!

What's more, Duke Qi was defeated before, and the 20 army almost disappeared, causing many forces in Shenjing City to reshuffle their cards.

Even the Supreme Emperor, without the large army in his hand as a deterrent, his prestige in the court could not help but decline a lot.

Moreover, the newly rehearsed new army has not yet taken shape, and the more than 4 elite soldiers who came down from the battlefield in northern Saibei were all captured by Marquis Zhaowu. ...

The sum of all the soldiers and horses in Shenjing City is only 25 to [-]. Now in terms of numbers alone, the founding line has already controlled more than one-third of the people in Shenjing.

From the perspective of combat effectiveness, even if the other forces are all tied together, it is estimated that they are not enough to fight against the founding of the country.

Now that Emperor Hongde has the support of the founder of the country, the plan of the Supreme Emperor must be extremely difficult to realize.

……

Thinking of this, Dai Quan shook his head secretly. Even an old man like himself who has followed the Supreme Emperor for many years, didn't he secretly poke a way out for himself while helping the Supreme Emperor?

After all, he has already seen it clearly.

………………

In the prison of the clan mansion.

After several months of imprisonment, although he has not been tortured by any instruments of torture, the current Yang Shuo is still full of despair.

Now, he has completely lost the opportunity to climb that unattainable throne. For Yang Shuo, who regards it as his lifelong goal, it is tantamount to cutting off the meaning of his existence.

As for why Yang Shuo didn't kill himself, one was because he was afraid of death, and the other was because there was still a faint hope in his heart.

After all, through Prince Zhongshun, Yang Shuo learned that his confidant, Sun Fuyi, who specialized in cultivating informants and dead men for him, has not been caught yet.

In this way, it shows that I still have a chance!
As long as the dead soldiers of his own family can rescue himself from the prison of the clan's mansion!

As long as I can regain my freedom...

Yang Shuo secretly felt ruthless in his heart, if he could get out alive, he would definitely make those people regret one by one!

……

Outside the prison cell, Yang Ming, the loyal and obedient prince who was a little fat, was standing outside the fence, and was directing a few servants to put a table of sumptuous food and wine in the cell, and then set a table for himself in the corridor outside the cell. table.

Afterwards, Prince Zhongshun waved everyone back.

After sitting down, Prince Zhongshun couldn't help complaining to Yang Shuo: "Brother, you almost killed me this time!
If it weren't for the old man in his heart, he would still feel guilty about killing our father with his own hands, maybe I would come in and stay in the cell with you! "

While talking, Prince Zhongshun filled himself with wine, drank it all in one gulp, and ate a few more mouthfuls of dishes, and then he saw Yang Shuo inside, still sitting motionless on the bed beside him.

"Brother, why don't you come over to eat? But you think the food is not to your taste?"

Yang Shuo glanced at Prince Zhongshun, thinking of his ups and downs in the past ten years, and thinking of Prince Zhongshun's fine clothes and food in Shenjing, his eyes were not without jealousy.

"You are lucky! Back then when the army was defeated, I couldn't find you in the chaos. I thought you had died in the chaos, but who would have expected that you not only survived safely, but also won the title of prince... "

Hearing this, Prince Zhongshun scratched the back of his head, with a smile on his face, he raised his glass again, "What happened back then was just luck! Brother, we brothers haven't had a drink and dinner together for so long, we must have a good time today." Just have a drink!"

In the prison, upon hearing the words, Yang Shuo also sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of wine.

Looking at the clear hops in the wine cup, Yang Shuo asked suddenly: "You didn't put medicine in this drink, did you?!"

Prince Zhongshun, who was picking up vegetables outside, couldn't help but stagnate, and then returned to normal.

He smiled wryly and said: "Where did the elder brother think, how dare the younger brother kill the elder brother? Besides, everyone knows that I came to visit the elder brother in prison today, if there is something wrong in the middle, wouldn't the younger brother have to go around?!"

Yang Shuo took a deep look at Prince Zhongshun,
"I'm sorry you don't have the guts! The group of dead warriors and assassins under my command are still outside. If I die in the prison of this clan's mansion one day, hum..."

Smiling twice, Yang Shuo immediately stopped hesitating, first picked up a few chopsticks and ate the dishes, and then drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.

After all, I have been in the prison for several months, and I have vegetables and rice every day, and I really owe a lot to my stomach.

Outside, upon hearing Yang Shuo's words, Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes...

　It seems to be a reward of 200 book coins, thank you for your approval!
