Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 1086

The next day, Prince Heng announced to the courtiers and officials in the imperial capital the matter of celebrating Ji's funeral.

And all the vassal kings and ministers went to Fengtian Hall, dressed in hemp and filial piety, to commemorate the celebration.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sai Wang Wu Fan finally attacked Prince Heng.

"Prince, I heard that my father's funeral has another secret. On the night you and your grandson met with my father, when my father was about to die, someone saw the sound of axes and candles in the Funing Hall, and my father shouted loudly." Do it for yourself'. The next day, the father passed away, is there nothing strange?"

Wu Fan sneered and said, "In front of the second and third sons, I want to ask the prince to give an explanation. I don't know how you explain this, prince?"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials and officials kneeling in the hall couldn't help whispering to each other.

The incident of "the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle" has spread like wildfire in Jinling, the imperial capital, which made many ministers seriously doubt whether Prince Heng killed Qingji.

When Prince Heng saw Wu Fan who was suddenly in trouble, he just said indifferently: "The pure is clear, and the turbid is turbid. I, Wu Heng, have a clear conscience, why should I explain to you?"

"What a clear conscience!"

Wu Fan pointed at Prince Heng, and said with a gloomy face: "In front of the imperial father's spirit, in front of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, do you dare to swear to prove your innocence?"

"I, Wu Heng, swear to the sky!"

Prince Heng raised his palm, with a calm expression on his face, and said loudly: "If I murder the emperor's father, teach me that heaven and man will kill him, and I will die a bad death!"

"..."

Seeing this, Wu Fan couldn't help but fell silent.

Could it be that Qingji's sudden funeral had nothing to do with Prince Heng?

Did Qingji die?

Before Wu Fan could speak, the emperor's grandson Wu Ji couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Wu Fan and reprimanded him: "King Sai, in front of the emperor's grandfather's spirit, in this Fengtian Palace, how dare you be so rebellious and disrespectful?" ? Slander the prince?"

"This is disrespectful and tantamount to conspiracy!"

"The crown prince please issue an edict to depose him as king of Sai, demote him to a commoner, and hand it over to the Zongzheng government to deal with it strictly according to law!"

"Ha ha."

Wu Fan smiled contemptuously, waved his hands without fear, and said, "Grandson, what a grandson, is this the emperor's grandson of my Great Wu?"

"The bones of the first emperor are not yet cold, and you have not yet inherited the great rule. You have to imprison your relatives, and you are impatient to cut down the feudal clan. Your wolf ambition is clearly revealed!"

"It's best for you father and son to execute the widow. If not, when the widow returns to the country of Serbia, you must seek justice for the father!"

"presumptuous!"

Wu Ji blushed and said angrily: "King Sai! You keep saying that my father and I murdered the emperor's grandfather, but do you have conclusive evidence?"

"If there is no evidence, you are talking nonsense, spreading rumors, and slandering the crown prince!"

"Slandering the crown prince is a crime that should be punished!"

Hearing this, Wu Fan didn't panic at all, and said coldly: "I just want to know the truth about my father's death. Wu Ji, you can't afford to put such a big hat on you! "

"Humph."

Wu Ji snorted coldly and said: "You have no proof, how dare you say that the emperor's grandfather died, and there is something else hidden? Say that it was the emperor's grandfather who was murdered by my father?"

"My father is the crown prince, the future second emperor, why murder the emperor's grandfather?"

Hearing this, Wu Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not certain. The crown prince has been the heir apparent for 31 years, and His Majesty the First Emperor is healthy and healthy. Maybe the Crown Prince will die before His Majesty the First Emperor."

"Prince, do you dare to say that after being the crown prince for so many years, you don't want to inherit the throne as soon as possible?"

"Bullshit!"

Wu Ji said angrily: "The imperial grandfather had the idea of ​​abdicating my father before he was alive, but my father refused at that time. Why did he murder the imperial grandfather in order to ascend the throne early? You are simply talking nonsense, there is no cure for it! "

"Wu Ji, step back!"

Prince Heng finally stood up and waved his hand to make Wu Ji calm down.

"Father……"

"Get out!"

"promise!"

After being reprimanded by Prince Heng, Wu Ji withdrew unwillingly.

Prince Heng took a deep breath, looked at Wu Fan with a soothing expression, and said, "King Sai, you and I are siblings, if you have anything, you can talk about it in private."

"Today is the time of national mourning. During his lifetime, Father would most like to see us brothers living in harmony and working together, instead of fighting over a non-existent matter as we are now.

"Okay. Then let's discuss something after the national funeral."

Prince Heng used Qingji as a shield. As a filial son, Wu Fan, how could he disobey his father's order?
What's more, in front of Qingji's funeral, and in front of many princes and ministers, the brothers had a dispute, and they would fight if they disagreed, which was a farce in itself.

……

Night falls.

At this time, in the mansion and study of Gou Jian, General Zuo Cheqi, Gou Jian was sitting opposite Wu Fan and Wu Zhang, plotting important events.

Talking about what happened in Fengtian Palace today, Gou Jian couldn't help but sighed, and said, "King Sai and King Liao, I'm really worried about you."

"Now, during the period of national mourning, it is inconvenient for the crown prince to start killing. He will kill His Majesty's parents and children, as well as his own brothers and sisters."

"However, once the national mourning is over, if the crown prince wants to settle accounts with the two of you after the autumn after he inherits the throne, and you just find an excuse, the two of you will be slaughtered like meat on a chopping board."

Wu Zhang narrowed his eyes, and asked with a rather unkind face: "Marquis Yue, what do you mean?"

"King Liao, the imperial guards in the Imperial City are all under the command of the crown prince's trusted generals. If the crown prince doesn't want to let you go, what can I do?"

"Hmph, he dares!"

Wu Fan was extremely dissatisfied and said: "The sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle, let alone the matter of murdering the emperor, if he dares to attack the widow and the King of Liao, how can he convince the public?"

"How can such a cruel person deserve to be the emperor of my Great Wu, and rule the world?"

Goujian smiled and said, "King Sai, I just want to tell you."

"You two are in a very dangerous situation now. Now that the crown prince is in control, the country cannot live without a king for a day. After the national funeral, the crown prince will naturally succeed to the throne."

"Right now, there are only two roads before you, King Sai and King Liao."

"Either sit and wait to die, or return to the closed country immediately."

"The life and death of the former is uncertain, and the new emperor who has just ascended to the throne of the latter can't do anything to you."

After a pause, Gou Jian said earnestly, "You two kings, with the means of the crown prince, it is easy to get rid of you in the imperial capital without anyone noticing. Please respect yourself."

Hearing this, Wu Zhang and Wu Fan couldn't help but looked at each other, alarm bells rang in their hearts.

They don't want their lives to be in the hands of others.

Once Crown Prince Heng inherits the throne, they will be the first to be dealt with...
