Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 544
"Aren't you two impatient with life? If the officials heard about it, beheading would be a minor thing! Look at what you were talking about just now? The eldest prince poisoned His Majesty? If such a thing really happened, how could it be?" It’s not that the world is in chaos! But now when we go to the capital, it’s calm and there’s no sign at all!”

One of the people at the next table couldn't listen anymore, and retorted, the reason why he opened his mouth was because he felt that the two people's talk was nonsense, it would only be annoying, and if it was really heard by officials, even the eldest prince, the other party would get angry Under the circumstances, it would be bad to involve yourself in it!

The people around also nodded, obviously disapproving of the radical remarks of the two before, only thinking that the other party was scaremongering and wanted to make a big news!

The two who had been talking in low voices were not angry when they heard someone refute themselves, and one of them even laughed and said, "I'm sorry! Our two brothers talked a little bit louder and disturbed you."

Then he turned to his friend and said, "Let's speak in a low voice."

The person at the next table raised his eyebrows. Although the other party had a good attitude, he obviously didn't listen to what he said. The most important thing was that the other party still wanted to talk, but the voice was quieter. What was his plan?He wants the two of them to stop talking!
The man's expression was very solemn, and he said: "Two brothers, I advise you to stop making alarmist remarks here, it will not be good for you or me!"

This is already obvious, but the other person I talked to before seemed to have a bad temper. He snorted coldly and said, "Scaremongering? You don't know the situation, so don't talk nonsense here! What I said is the truth. Alarmist talk!"

The person at the next table was also angry, and I kindly advised you not to seek death, why did I still make mistakes?He sneered and said, "Okay, okay, you're not scaremongering, but tell me, how did you know that the eldest prince poisoned His Majesty? You also know about the things in the palace? Who do you think you are!"

Not to be outdone, the man said: "I still know about the affairs in the palace! To tell you the truth, my cousin is a servant of the Hubu Shangshu's mansion, and he overheard what the Hubu Shangshu said! He also said that the two The dignitaries and nobles in the heavenly capital are very careful, they dare not even leave their homes! It is because they know that there have been great changes in the palace, and they are protecting themselves!"

The person at the next table was taken aback when he heard the words. It would be fine if the other party was really talking nonsense, but the other party mentioned the Minister of the Household Department. Although it was just a servant who overheard it, the nature of this matter is completely different from the one just now. , this thing seems to be really possible now!
The people at the next table were listening quietly at this time. Hearing what the person said just now, one of them suddenly changed his face and said: "I remembered! The master seems to be very careful these two days, even the young master of the family You are not allowed to go out!" It seemed that he thought that he forgot to introduce himself, so he hurriedly said: "I am a servant of Prince He's mansion."

Now everyone's faces changed drastically. Although they were all ordinary people, they were people who grew up in the imperial city. Who was the prince?Those are the four princes!Is there anything that can make the four princes afraid?Could it be that there have been great changes in the palace!

Now everyone panicked, as if the world was in chaos and the sky was about to collapse!In fact, their worries are not superfluous. After all, if the world is in chaos, then the sky will indeed fall!The saying that I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world is not just a casual saying!
The person at the next table who was the first to refute before also changed his face again and again at this time, but he still insisted: "I still don't believe it! If His Majesty really died, how could there be no movement in the palace? No matter who succeeds Sir, this funeral has to be dealt with, right?"

The person before heard this and shook his head and said: "How do we know about this matter? But don't forget, the crown prince of our court has not been decided before, no matter whether it is the eldest prince who poisoned His Majesty, the heir to the throne Who is it? Will the other princes be willing? Maybe... Now the palace is full of blood and blood, and the eldest prince is busy killing other princes!"

This speculation is a bit irresponsible and far-fetched, but they already have doubts, so after hearing this, everyone began to feel that there is some truth. A sudden death is much more believable!

Almost at the same time, similar rumors began to spread in some restaurants, teahouses, and even in the streets and alleys in Shangjing. Most of them said that the First Prince poisoned His Majesty, although a small number did not say that the First Prince poisoned him. His Majesty, but it is true that His Majesty is dead now!

In this way, rumors were spread from ten to ten, and soon the whole capital was spreading such rumors, saying that three people became tigers, which meant that if three people were telling a lie, people would believe it!And now it's not just three people who spread it, there are already tens of thousands of people!For a while, people in the capital were panicked, and some people even started to pack their things and prepare to flee for their lives!

Of course, there are also sane people who feel that this matter is not credible, or that no matter how far the matter develops, going to Beijing is a safe place, at least the people here are safe, so they did not run for their lives, but felt that the world would really be in chaos. , maybe this is the safest place in the entire Wu Dynasty!
And it would be fine if these rumors were only spread among the people, but the people in the capital, are they ordinary people?Just like the self-introduction of the person who talked in the restaurant before, there are quite a few high-ranking officials and nobles working as errands!When I go back to the mansion and say it, can the people in the master's house hear it?So it was not only rumored among the common people, but also similar remarks were heard in the homes of the ministers and the palace.

This is where the chaos begins!If those ordinary people are just guessing without any basis, those ministers, especially those ministers who have to go to the morning court every day, they have already suspected it!Your Majesty really hasn't been to court for two days. Could it be that he was poisoned to death by the First Prince?Even if it wasn't the eldest prince who poisoned him, I'm afraid it was really bad, right?So is His Majesty really dead now?

For a moment, almost all the ministers panicked. If His Majesty really died, what would they do?If they can settle down quickly, then of course there is no problem, it is nothing more than allegiance to the new emperor, but they don't know how to stand in line now!
Even if the Eldest Prince is the strongest now, if the Eldest Prince poisoned the late Emperor, uh... At this time, many adults actually believed that Zhao Wou-ki had indeed died.

Those who were originally loyal to the late emperor probably would not let the First Prince succeed no matter what!So who succeeds?Where should they stand?

If the ministers are just panicked and don't know what to do, those princes are really afraid. The so-called speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. What are the rumors about?At this time, the eldest prince is probably attacking other princes in the palace!This is obviously wrong, the eldest prince stayed in the palace honestly, and the other princes in the palace knew it too.

But now that the other party is honest, it doesn't mean that he will always be honest in the future!If something really happened to my father, the Eldest Prince would succeed to the throne, so maybe he would really use his younger brothers as a knife!Especially the few princes who are competing for the throne and strength, they are even more like enemies, because they know that the eldest prince will never let them go!It's like they want to be in power, and they will never let each other go!
All of a sudden, in the palaces and other courtyards where the princes lived, they began to send more people to guard the safety. Some people even began to wonder whether they should act first?
At noon, in the palace of the eldest prince, Prime Minister Li Chengji came again. The two of them sat down as guest and host, and their expressions were very ugly, especially the eldest prince Zhao Zheng, whose face was so gloomy that water could drip out!He never thought, how did things develop into this swallow?It was fine in the morning, but now I have become the object of everyone's scolding!

He glanced at Li Chengji, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Li, what is going on? Didn't the news be blocked? Why is the city full of storms in just one morning?"

Li Chengji was also depressed, but he didn't expect the other party to question others first!Immediately, he became angry, but no matter what, the other party was the eldest prince, and he was not easy to contradict him, so he could only reply patiently: "Your Highness, this was obviously premeditated, someone is deliberately targeting you, the eldest prince! And I I feel that the person who spread the rumors is likely to be the person who poisoned His Majesty! This is a series of tricks!"

It's very clear, it's not that I didn't block the news, it's that someone is deliberately spreading rumors, and of course it's not all rumors, after all, Zao Wou-ki was indeed poisoned, and he's still in a coma, it's still unknown whether he can detoxify, Obviously, the person who spread the rumors knew something about this situation, and it was very likely that he was the one who actually poisoned him!

The eldest prince is not a fool, he quickly understood what Li Chengji meant, nodded and said, "Master Li, what should we do now?"

Li Chengji glanced at him, shook his head slowly and said: "Now the old minister can't say much, but... Your Highness, I think it's better for you not to stand up now, even if His Majesty can't wake up all the time, temporarily manage the affairs of state. Don't worry about things."

Li Chengji was still afraid that he would not be reconciled, so he explained: "Your Highness, you are now on the cusp of the storm, and all the spearheads are directed at you. If you stand up at this time, it will be really unreasonable, right? Put yellow mud on the crotch, it's not shit, it's shit!"

This is a bit impolite, really impolite!It can be seen that Li Chengji is really depressed at the moment.

The First Prince Zhao Zheng nodded in pain, why didn't he know what was going on now!
