Chapter 240 Death of the Loyal King
Chen Chen, who once again despaired of his relatives, now especially longs for the understanding and support of his younger brother, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to tell him the truth.

"She competes with the people for profit, seeks the people's fat, and I can tolerate her. Even if she kills people and steals goods, and destroys the whole family, I think that for the sake of the late emperor's deathbed entrustment, I can still settle the orphan of the Tao family and not hold her accountable. But she It's overdone..."

"Intervene in the grain and grass materials transported to the front line, shoddy as good, and reported less as more. Do you know how our loyal king and uncle died in battle?" Chen Yan can still be the emperor in peace and stability, and the border cities can still be held together. In his hands, he didn't lose the foundation left by his ancestors, it was all in exchange for the loyal king's life.

But what about the loyal king at the front line?Originally guarding Fengtian, as long as the enemy ran out of food and grass, he could drive away the soldiers without fighting, but some people in the court couldn't tolerate it, and among this group of people who couldn't tolerate it, the emperor was the first!
The son never speaks of his father's faults, and his father is not an ordinary father, let alone a son can say nothing bad about him.

It turns out that there is really no family affection in the royal family.

Chen Co has just been suspicious of King An for many years, and he has never done anything cruel, but Father Emperor...

When the father was sick, King Zhong was still having a good time. How could an emperor who was in decline and lingering on the sick bed have a young brother who was brave and good at fighting and turned the tide by his side. How could he sleep well?
At that time, the country was in trouble, and foreigners invaded the border. He had no choice but to use the loyal king as a general to stabilize the hearts and minds of the army, fight a few victories, save some people, and let them appreciate the mighty grace of the emperor.

When Fengtian was stabilized and the remaining small cities had already been slaughtered, no matter where the final battlefield went, the capital city would not be in danger of being trampled by iron hooves, and he began to have his own small nine-nine.

King Zhong's refusal to send troops to seize the city became his apparent crime.The most amazing thing is that on the surface, a carload of grain is sent to the border. Only the person involved knows that a few of the carloads of grain are really rice grains, and the rest are moldy and spoiled. There are more stones than food, how can he bear it?

Lack of food and clothing, empty stomach, poor clothing, how can we fight this battle?

If King Zhong was defeated and returned to the court, his father would find an excuse to kill him. If King Zhong won by luck, he would be liquidated when he came back.

But what the father didn't know was that when he attacked, Qingping and King Guangling were not idle, especially King Guangling.

Relying on the fact that he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he kept the rice grain he cut for his own use, took the opportunity to conscript [-] soldiers, hoarded ironware in secret, and even colluded with officials in the south of the Yangtze River to increase taxes!

In Jiangnan, where the weather is good and the weather is good, there has been a tragedy of starvation and death everywhere, and ten rooms and nine empty houses!
However, the father stared at the infighting, and had no idea what his distant relatives were doing in Jiangnan. He blindly believed that Jiangnan was hit by floods this year, reducing production on a large scale, and even allocated relief money.

It's simply a big joke in the world!
Chen Yan could only blindly guess that his emperor's uncle was a smart man. He understood the emperor's thoughts and his situation better, and then he chose to die, just to give his wife and children a life.

Living in a different position, Chen Yan didn't know if he could be so loyal to Uncle Wang.

Why do I want to save the world when people in the world betray me?
Why do I die with only a body shrouded in horse leather, my daughter gets a nominal title, and his descendants continue to be on top?
Why, as a descendant of the royal family, should I care about the country passed down from my ancestors, and why should I drive out the Tartars and return my country?Did the rivers and mountains belong to me?Can the river and mountain be passed on to my son?

Why?

Loyal ministers shed blood, and the old emperor could sit back and relax. Since then, Dazhou has had more days of singing and dancing, and the only thing that needs to be forgotten may be a little loyal king.

Twenty years have passed, how many people in the court still remember King Zhong?That mansion is still there, but it's a pity that the house is empty, and the posthumous child given by the princess is a daughter.

Chen Yan didn't dare to think at all, if the princess had given birth to a son, would he have died quietly in the past 20 years?
Father's hands must be clean, but as an emperor, the only thing he doesn't lack is someone who will work for him.Successively and continuously.

After Chen Yan pieced together the scenes of the tragedies that happened 20 years ago and got the final truth, his three views collapsed, and the various images of his father's once tall and powerful image collapsed to nothing. .

After Chen Shen listened in a daze, he stared at his elder brother in a daze.

"Hey!" Chen Co patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "You and I, brother, will never come to this point." He seemed to be reassuring, but also seemed to be just telling himself, as for whether Chen Shen believed it or not, it didn't matter.

"Then Chaoyang, who is she? Why did she insist on killing my mother and concubine?" This is what Chen Shen cares about the most. He was still young at the time of the incident 20 years ago, so he didn't have a deep impression of King Zhong himself. , although now I hear that I must feel cold in my heart.

"She is a member of King Guangling. She came to Beijing with one of the sons of King Guangling three years ago. Later, she married a tenant in the Zhuangzi of Prince Ping's mansion. The tenant didn't marry a wife in his 30s. Naturally, he didn't pick her and took her with him. The girl welcomed their mother and daughter happily, and within seven months, the tenant passed away from illness."

"Whether this is a coincidence, or she did it on purpose, I don't know yet."

"Why did she stay on Zhuangzi in Prince Ping's Mansion?"

"In order to facilitate contact with Qingping and pass on information to each other, I went directly to Princess Qingping's mansion. If something happened, it would be easy to implicate the master behind her, so I borrowed Prince Ping's mansion as a cover."

"As a member of the clan, King Ping has been operating in the capital for many years, so he is more likely to be suspected. They just want to blame others. Unfortunately, she has not been one step away from Zhuangzi for many years. Killing and selling a lot of people out, there is not enough manpower, it is impossible for her to work in the Ping Palace, and let your concubine recognize her."

A few months ago, many slaves were implicated in Prince Ping's mansion due to the dangerous birth of the concubine, especially the servants in the inner courtyard. Chen Di became ruthless. Count one, never let it go, killing and killing, selling and selling.

It's only been a few months, and the Wangfu's requirements are high, and the manpower has not been filled.

Chen Shen couldn't help feeling sad, why is his mother and concubine?This Chaoyang is too insane!
"How will Brother Huang deal with King Guangling and Qingping?"

"Of course it's impossible to keep them dancing!" It's impossible for others to snore on the side of the couch, and it is naturally impossible for Chen Yan to allow others to covet the throne.

"But I don't want to make it public, and I don't want to wait for him to make trouble first, and then seize the current situation to resolve it."

"I want to fight directly, before they know the news of Chaoyang's arrest." A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall, he will not give the other party a chance to attack.

King Guangling has been preparing for more than 20 years. The little soldiers on hand did not succeed in the past, but now they are nothing to worry about.
