Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

At the gate of the palace, Wu Ji led a group of guards, and they clashed with King Wu Fan of Sai and Wu Zhang, King of Liao.

Seeing that they have a disagreement, they are about to fight.

At the critical moment, Prince Heng stood up to resolve their conflict.

"Wu Ji, don't be rude!"

"Father."

Prince Heng stepped forward and saluted his two brothers.

Seeing Prince Heng's posture, Wu Zhang and Wu Fan did not dare to be arrogant, and returned a salute.

"Prince, we want to see Father Emperor."

Hearing the words, Prince Heng sighed with a look of pain on his face: "Third Brother, Ninth Brother, to tell you the truth, just last night, or maybe this morning, Father Emperor will rule Bintian!"

"what?"

Both Wu Zhang and Wu Fan couldn't help but change color.

Wu Fan glared at Prince Heng, gritted his teeth and asked, "Prince, I want to ask you, how did Emperor Father die?"

"Father is old, his body has been getting worse day by day, he is at the end of his life."

"really?"

"It's true."

Seeing Prince Heng's confident attitude, Wu Fan couldn't help but believe it.

Up to now, it is useless to hide the news of Wu Zhang and Wu Fanqingji's death.

This can only prove that Prince Heng has a guilty conscience, so he has to be more magnanimous.

The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid!
"But... what I heard is not the case. Someone saw you and your grandson meeting the emperor last night in the Palace of Funing, and then there was the sound of an ax and the shadow of a candle. Is this true?"

"It's pure rumor!"

Prince Hengda waved his hand and said, "Third brother, with your wisdom, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong? Who is spreading rumors to drive a wedge between you and my brother?"

"Ha ha."

Wu Fan just smiled.

Wu Zhang beside him said: "Prince, we want to see the father, even if it is the last remains..."

After all, Prince Heng did not refuse, and let Wu Zhang and Wu Fan enter the palace together and headed to Funing Hall.

At this time, the Funing Hall was completely plain and decorated like a mourning hall.

The concubines in the harem also knelt there when they got the news.

Inside and out, there are people everywhere.

Only in the palace room was the queen Ji Kou who was still kneeling with a sad expression on her face.

"Father, my son came late, and I didn't even see you for the last time!"

Wu Zhang and Wu Fan couldn't help kneeling on the floor, looking at Qingji lying on the dragon couch, they felt mixed feelings in their hearts, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

But they are all strong men, they don't cry easily, after wiping away their tears, they went up to look at Qingji's remains, feeling even more sad.

……

After Wu Zhang and Wu Fan left, Taisun Wu Ji pulled Prince Heng into a side palace, and after confirming that the partition wall had no ears, he said in a low voice: "Father, in the opinion of my son and minister, Sanbo, Jiu Uncle and the others still have doubts about the funeral of the imperial grandfather."

"These two men hold heavy troops and have a very high prestige in the army and the government and the public."

"If they are allowed to leave the imperial capital, after they return to their respective kingdoms, they will definitely make a full-scale army and unite with the princes and kings from all walks of life to cause chaos."

"At that time, the empire will inevitably fall into war. Instead of watching the country that the emperor's grandfather finally conquered fall apart, why don't you, father, kill them and trap them?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Heng couldn't help but his face darkened, and he scolded: "Wu Ji, how could you have such vicious thoughts?"

"Conspiracies and tricks can't make a big deal!"

"Father! A woman's benevolence can also cause evil!"

Wu Ji gritted his teeth, and said in a harsh voice: "King Liao and King Sai are both ambitious people with large armies, and now they suspect that your father is not in the right position. Once they rebel, a big battle is inevitable. .”

"This is a civil war in the empire. Even if you win in the end, father, the vitality of the empire will be severely damaged and the national power will decline. It will even revive the remnants of the nations, and the imperial court will be unable to suppress the rebellions in various places. Where will the Great Wu go then?"

"Father, stop and stop, and you will suffer chaos."

"Letting Third Uncle and Ninth Uncle go back is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles."

"Father, can you just watch my Great Wu's Eternal Foundation fall into collapse and be in danger of being overthrown?"

"..."

Prince Heng was silent.

Prince Heng can imagine the consequences of what Wu Ji said.

But, he couldn't do that.

This is not the benevolence of the crown prince Heng's wife, who is unwilling to bear the infamy of killing his own brother.

But Prince Heng, who did this, must have committed the act of killing the king and usurping the throne, killing brothers and brothers, and then he was condemned by the people of the world, and even the flames spread everywhere, and the world turned against him.

Brothers killing each other, this is not a situation that Prince Heng wants to see.

After killing Wu Fan and Wu Zhang, wouldn't there be no other feudal lords who would come forward?
No, it's the same because there are other feudal lords who can't tolerate such a cruel and heartless Wu Heng, and then united with the princes and vassals of the world to attack Wu Heng.

Under such circumstances, no matter what Prince Heng does, whether he kills or releases Wu Zhang and Wu Fan, he is no longer a human being.

After thinking for a long time, Prince Heng let out a long sigh and said, "Wu Ji, I can't do this."

"Brothers and siblings are meant to make relatives hurt and enemies quick. When your grandfather was alive, he warned me more than once to learn to be tolerant, to be tolerant, to be able to endure what ordinary people can't bear. .”

"Treat those vassal kings, treat your own brothers, and get along with each other in harmony, and don't want to kill."

"You let me trap and kill your third uncle and ninth uncle now, and let me be under the Nine Springs in the future. How can I have the face to see your imperial grandfather again?"

After a pause, Prince Heng said again earnestly: "Furthermore, if King Sai and King Liao are killed, the situation may be even worse."

"An emperor who can kill even his brothers, what despicable things can't be done?"

Now, others just suspect that Prince Heng's funeral has something to do with Qingji's funeral.

Once Prince Heng kills his brother and brother, it is tantamount to cutting himself off from the world.

People in the world will definitely suspect that Prince Heng really killed Qingji, or Qingji died of anger. If not, how could he do such a thing that brazens the world?
By that time, Prince Heng would have fallen into his crotch with yellow mud, and it was either shit or shit.

"Now, the top priority is to take care of your grandfather's funeral. And then..."

Prince Heng's expression turned cold suddenly, and he said: "I have ordered that the funeral be kept secret, who on earth revealed the news about your grandfather's funeral, and let King Liao and King Sai know?"

"What an ax sounding candle shadow, pouring this basin of dirty water on me is simply ulterior motives."

The story of "the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle" has spread like wildfire in Jinling, the imperial capital, and everyone has heard of it more or less, from the princes and nobles to the traffickers and pawns, and it has become a topic of conversation for them after dinner.

How could Prince Heng tolerate this?

"I now suspect that there are rebels in the palace who are plotting to make a big fuss about your grandfather's funeral."

"Wu Ji, you send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter. Make sure to find out this spy!"

"promise!"

Wu Ji immediately took the order and left.
