The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 197

There are many hidden guards in He Lianfang's house.They monitored He Lianfang while protecting He Lianfang.

The secret guards monitored He Lianfang, not twelve hours a day, nor did they monitor He Lianfang all the time.Their main purpose is to monitor He Lianfang's contact with his subordinates.

He Lianfang, as the general who once followed Prince Yiyong, naturally had many soldiers following him, and many of them were diehards.

Most of them, like He Lianfang, believed that the death of Prince Yiyong was a conspiracy by Emperor Wu of Zhou, and that Emperor Wu of Zhou deliberately designed to kill Prince Yiyong in order to be the prince.

At that time, the first emperor and his ministers were preparing to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty.Prince Yiyong, as the eldest son, will naturally be canonized as a prince.However, Prince Yiyong died on the battlefield at this time, so why is it not suspicious.

The most suspicious thing is that Prince Yiyong was originally going to quell the chaos in Changxi Mountain, but he changed his mind before leaving and went to Baiyufeng instead.At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou was going to Baiyufeng to quell the chaos.

Baiyufeng is relatively remote, and the terrain is steep.Before Emperor Wu of Zhou decided to go to Baiyufeng to quell the chaos, many people were defeated at Baiyufeng, such as Song Dekang and Shen Hu at that time.

Song Dekang and Shen Hu have been attacking Bai Yufeng for several months but failed to capture it.If you don't take it down, it will affect morale.Furthermore, Bai Yufeng's position is very important and must be captured.

It was also a temporary decision for Emperor Wu of Zhou to go to Baiyufeng to quell the chaos.At that time, he had just quelled the chaos in another place. He had just returned to Chang'an, and he was about to rest for a few days to catch his breath. After all, he had been fighting outside for more than a year, and he didn't expect the riots in Bai Yufeng to become more and more serious.The first emperor had no choice but to send Emperor Wu of Zhou to calm the chaos in Baiyufeng.

Prince Yiyong felt sorry for his younger brother who had just returned, and at that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou had just got married, and Emperor Wu of Zhou was seriously injured in the previous chaos.If he went to Bai Yufeng to calm the chaos again, his old injuries might recur, and he might even collapse from exhaustion.

Compared with the riots at Baiyufeng, the riots at Changxi Mountain were much smaller.Prince Yiyong felt that with the ability of Emperor Wu of Zhou, the Changxi Mountain Rebellion would soon be put down, and then he could return to Chang'an to rest.So, he switched venues with Emperor Wu of Zhou.He changed to Baiyufeng to quell the chaos.

Emperor Wu of Zhou strongly opposed it at the time, but Prince Yiyong insisted on going to Baiyufeng to quell the chaos, so he could only agree in the end.

It was he himself who proposed that Prince Yiyong go to Baiyufeng to quell the chaos, and it was not an exchange between Zhou Wudi and him.However, He Lianfang and the others thought it was a trick of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

As Prince Yiyong expected, it didn't take long for Emperor Wu of Zhou to put down the rebellion in Changxi Mountain.At that time, he heard that the battle situation in Bai Yufeng was dangerous and Prince Yiyong was in danger.Without any hesitation, he rushed to Bai Yufeng without stopping.

Changxi Mountain was far away from Baiyu Peak. In order to get there as soon as possible, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not rest all the way, and even killed one horse and injured another horse.

Even though he rushed to Bai Yufeng in a hurry, he was still one step too late.When he arrived at Baiyu Peak, Prince Yiyong had already died in battle.

Emperor Wu of Zhou rushed to Baiyu Peak, and He Lianfang arrived behind.Both were one step too late.

Prince Yiyong was hit by the enemy's arrow, which was coated with poison.After Prince Yiyong was hit by an arrow, he died of poison within an hour.

He Lianfang felt that Emperor Wu of Zhou rushed to Baiyu Peak deliberately in order to wait for Prince Yiyong to die.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't explain to He Lianfang, nor did he blame He Lianfang for being late.He felt that the death of Prince Yiyong was indeed his responsibility. If he hadn't promised Prince Yiyong to exchange battlefields, Prince Yiyong would not have died in battle.

In fact, before Prince Yiyong died in battle, He Lianfang and the others were already full of hostility towards Emperor Wu of Zhou.

The first emperor had several sons, but at that time, only Prince Yiyong and Emperor Wu of Zhou survived, and the other sons and daughters died.The two brothers will naturally be compared by others.

Prince Yiyong's ability to lead troops to fight is somewhat inferior to that of Emperor Wu of Zhou.The credit for calming the chaos is also less than that of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou won almost every game and rarely lost.Besides He Lianfang, he is also the God of War.

Prince Yiyong's ability to lead troops to fight is not as good, but his ability to know people is very good.He Lianfang was discovered by him.Not only that, he is also good at employing people and trusts his subordinates very much.In addition, he has a gentle temperament, has the reputation of a benevolent and righteous king, and is very popular among the soldiers.

Before the first emperor decided to establish the Great Zhou, the soldiers and civil servants were divided into two groups.One group of people supported Prince Yiyong, and the other group supported Emperor Zhou Wu.

At that time, people on both sides were already competing in secret.However, it was not on the surface.

Secretly, people on both sides dislike each other and slander each other.People from both sides were still sowing dissension in front of Prince Yiyong and Emperor Wu of Zhou, fanning the flames.

Prince Yiyong and Emperor Wu of Zhou trusted each other, and never believed those discordant words.The two also warned the soldiers not to believe the provocative words.Moreover, the two had punished the person who incited the flames, but it was useless.

The soldiers and civil servants under them continued to instigate right and wrong.The two sides are becoming more and more disgusted with each other, and are increasingly targeting each other.All this is still going on in secret.When the first emperor decided to establish the Great Zhou, all these behaviors were brought to the surface.

Those who support Prince Yiyong naturally hope that Prince Yiyong can be canonized as a prince.The soldiers who supported Emperor Wu of Zhou, of course, supported Emperor Wu of Zhou to become the crown prince.

People from both sides fought over the establishment of the crown prince.However, neither Prince Yiyong nor Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to be a prince.

Prince Yiyong has always wanted to live an idle, free and happy life.He originally planned to buy a piece of land to cultivate after the war was over and the chaos was over.As for being a prince, he never thought about it.

When the first emperor decided to build a great Zhou Dynasty, he called Prince Yiyong and Emperor Wu of Zhou over to inquire, and asked them which of the two would be willing to be the prince, but neither of them was willing.

The prince Yiyong asked Emperor Wu of Zhou to be the prince, saying that Emperor Wu of Zhou had made great military exploits, and he was expected to be the prince.When Emperor Zhou Wu heard this, of course he quit. He said that Prince Yiyong is the eldest son, and since ancient times, the eldest son has inherited the family business.He also said that if the eldest son is not established if the youngest is established, the court will be in chaos.

The two brothers gave way to each other in front of the late emperor, neither of them wanted to be the crown prince, which made the late emperor very angry.

To be honest, Emperor Xian didn't want to be emperor at that time, but the situation forced him to establish Da Zhou as emperor.

At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou was afraid that his eldest brother would really let him be the crown prince, so he secretly decided that after all the chaos in the Central Plains had been quelled, he would go to fight the Huns and stay away from the Central Plains, so that his eldest brother would not give up the position of crown prince to him. he does.

However, it was never expected that Prince Yiyong died in battle before the Great Zhou was established.

The death of Prince Yiyong hit Emperor Wu of Zhou the hardest.He always felt that if he didn't exchange battlefields with his elder brother, his elder brother would not die.He would rather die himself than die in battle with his elder brother.

Emperor Wu of Zhou could not let go of the death of Prince Yiyong, and felt that it was his fault, so he never defended himself against the accusations and complaints from He Lianfang and the others.

He Lianfang was the most useful general and confidant of Prince Yiyong during his lifetime, and Emperor Wu of Zhou was very tolerant to him.No matter how He Lianfang scolded him, he would not blame him.However, He Lianfang is too dangerous to let him out, otherwise the world will be disturbed by him.So Emperor Wu of Zhou locked him in the house at the junction of East Market and West Market, and sent secret guards to monitor and protect him.

As the famous, to be precise, fearsome God of War back then.No, at that time, He Lianfang was called "King of Hades".As long as he appears on a certain battlefield, the enemy army will basically become dead.Moreover, his methods are relatively vicious. Every time he captures a city, he will massacre it, leaving no one behind.

As long as the rebel army heard the name "He Lianfang", they would be terrified.

The most frightening thing is that He Lianfang has won every battle without losing a single battle.He often wins more with less. The most famous is that he once used 3 horses to win the enemy's 30 army, and killed the enemy's 30 troops without leaving any.

Both the generals and civil servants were very afraid of He Lianfang, so afraid that they dared not mention his name.Over the years, the name "He Lianfang" has unconsciously become a taboo.

Many ministers in the court thought that He Lianfang was dead, only Shen Hu and his confidant ministers knew that He Lianfang was still alive.As for the younger generation of ministers, they don't know He Lianfang at all.

The prince and Dai Wang had heard about He Lianfang, but they didn't know that He Lianfang was still alive.

If the court officials knew that He Lianfang was still alive, they would be anxious all day long.

Having said that, He Lianfang also blamed herself very much for the death of Prince Yiyong back then.He killed the person who poisoned Prince Yiyong to death.But these were not enough. He always felt that Emperor Zhou Wu was the culprit who killed Prince Yiyong in battle. He wanted to kill Emperor Zhou Wu to avenge Prince Yiyong, but he never succeeded.

He also thought about committing suicide to follow Prince Yiyong, but he was worried about Emperor Wu of Zhou.He wants to monitor Emperor Wu of Zhou alive. If Emperor Wu of Zhou can't be the emperor and let the lives of the great Zhou suffer, he will definitely kill Emperor Wu of Zhou.

For He Lianfang, although Prince Yiyong is dead, the establishment of [Great Zhou] is inseparable from Prince Yiyong.The most important thing is that the country name [Zhou] was taken by Prince Yiyong. 【Zhou】It is also the hope of Prince Yiyong.

In order to protect the hope of Prince Yiyong, He Lianfang will never let Da Zhou mess up.Although he wished to kill Emperor Wu of Zhou, he had to admit that Emperor Wu of Zhou had done very well these years.

For the righteous and brave prince, and for the people of Great Zhou, He Lianfang temporarily spared the life of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Many of the soldiers who followed Prince Yiyong back then, like He Lianfang, wanted to avenge Prince Yiyong and killed Emperor Wu of Zhou.Among them, there are also some people who want to rebel under the banner of revenge for Prince Yiyong.

They have been contacting He Lianfang, wanting to use He Lianfang's ability to rebel.He Lianfang is not a fool, of course he can see the real purpose of these people.However, he pretended not to know.

He Lianfang has always wanted to get out of this house, but his legs are disabled, and he is closely monitored by the hidden guards sent by Emperor Wu of Zhou. He can't escape by himself, so he keeps in touch with his former subordinates, hoping that they can save him go out.

Those subordinates with ulterior motives thought that He Lianfang really couldn't help herself and couldn't leave the house.Therefore, they have been trying to rescue He Lianfang all these years, but they all failed.

Even though they failed every time, they never gave up. They have been rescuing He Lianfang all these years.

Zhao Yao didn't know that every time he left He Lianfang's place, a group of people would enter that house, but they were all killed by the hidden guards in the house.

Rescues like this are basically staged every once in a while.Every time, the courtyard of this house would flow like a river of blood.

Every time Zhao Yao came to look for He Lianfang, he would find that the sand in the yard was new.This new sand is used to bury the bloodstains.

For these old subordinates who had followed Prince Yiyong, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not kill them all.As long as they don't come to rescue He Lianfang, he won't kill them.

He Lianfang always thought that what Emperor Wu of Zhou did was nothing more than hypocrisy, and Emperor Wu of Zhou let him think so.

It was night, Emperor Wu of Zhou took Song Dekang to visit He Lianfang together.

Song Dekang didn't want to come very much, but he was forced to come by Emperor Wu of Zhou, so he could only bite the bullet and follow.

Emperor Wu of Zhou walked in with a playful smile, and sat down opposite He Lianfang: "Hey, has Lianfang had dinner? How's your appetite? Does the food suit your appetite?"

He Lianfang didn't even look at Emperor Wu of Zhou.When he saw Song Dekang walking in with Emperor Wu of Zhou, his eyes instantly became very cold and sharp.

Seeing He Lianfang's stern eyes, Song Dekang's heart shuddered, and his footsteps stopped involuntarily.A look of fear flashed across his eyes, but then he thought why he was afraid of this lunatic, he couldn't help raising his chin, and stared back at He Lianfang coldly.

He Lianfang looked away from Song Dekang in disgust, looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou with cold eyes, and asked him in a very unfriendly tone: "Why did you bring this traitor here?"

Song Dekang answered He Lianfang's question before Emperor Wu of Zhou: "I am not a traitor, I have always followed the emperor." Although they were in the military camp of Prince Yiyong before following the emperor, since they followed the emperor, they only treated the emperor. Loyalty, this is what Prince Yiyong asked them to do back then. "Prince Yiyong told me back then that we must be loyal to the emperor and have no second thoughts."

He Lianfang's clear and handsome face immediately became angry and contorted when Song Dekang mentioned Prince Yiyong.

"You traitor is not qualified to mention your master."

"Prince Yiyong is your master, not mine." Song Dekang choked back fearlessly, "Don't charge me with a crime."

"If it wasn't for the master back then, you..."

Song Dekang and He Lianfang quarreled.The two quarreled very fiercely, and looked at each other very fiercely.

Sun Kui, who was standing behind Emperor Wu of Zhou, saw that Song Dekang and He Lianfang were arguing more and more fiercely, worried that they would fight, so he hurriedly said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Your Majesty, don't you care?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou sat aside, drinking tea, watching He Lianfang and Song Dekang quarrel with great interest.

"Why bother?" Emperor Wu of Zhou raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Look how fun they are arguing."

Sun Kui: "..." Your Majesty, can you watch the show like this?

"Let them quarrel." Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile, "It's healthier to be arguing." Then, he glanced at He Lianfang, who was blushing and thick-necked, "Fangfang has been locked here, and she has been suffocating for a long time. Now let him Arguing with Lao Song, venting the anger and depression in his heart, so that he will not be suppressed and get sick."

Sun Kui looked shocked: "Your Majesty, is it because of this reason that you brought General Song here?"

"The person Fang Fang is most angry with is Lao Song. Every time he sees Lao Song, he will get angry." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled lightly, "Look at how caring I am."

Sun Kui complained silently in his heart: Your Majesty, are you caring?You are obviously watching a good show!
Emperor Wu of Zhou put down the teacup in his hand, propped his face with his right hand, and raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth: "I think it's interesting for them to quarrel, let them continue to quarrel!"

Sun Kui sighed in his heart: It really is so!

Your majesty, you are really wicked!

He Lianfang and Song Dekang were quarreling, but neither of them made a move.

Song Dekang didn't bother to do anything to a disabled person in a wheelchair.He Lianfang wanted to do something to Song Dekang, but she couldn't do it because she was in a wheelchair.

He Lianfang and Song Dekang scolded each other.The two scolded each other very vulgarly, which made Sun Kui dumbfounded.

In Sun Kui's mind, He Lianfang didn't seem like someone who could swear.

Although He Lianfang is a general, but just looking at his appearance and temperament, one would think he is a literati.

Sun Kui listened for a while, but couldn't take it any longer.

"Your Majesty, General Song's scolding is too ugly..." Although he knew that General Song was a rude person, he didn't expect General Song to curse like this.The swearing words are not repeated.

Emperor Wu of Zhou said indifferently, "What is this?"

When Sun Kui heard this, he asked in surprise, "Is there anything more ugly than this?"

"Yes." Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile, "If it wasn't for Fangfang's inconvenient legs and feet, the two of them would have brought them together a long time ago, and then fished for each other."

Sun Kui imagined the picture, and then was speechless.

He Lianfang and Song Dekang scolded for half an hour before they stopped.

The two scolded equally.He Lianfang choked on her own saliva, which stopped their scolding.

Emperor Wu of Zhou kindly asked Sun Kui to serve them tea.

"After drinking tea, you can continue to argue, don't worry about me." Emperor Wu of Zhou said very caringly.

Hearing what Emperor Wu of Zhou said, Song Dekang realized that he had just lost his composure.

He Lianfang felt that she was being played like a monkey, so she glared at Emperor Zhou Wu angrily.

"Why don't you quarrel anymore?" Emperor Wu of Zhou propped his face with his left hand, smiling gently, "Lianfang, you feel uncomfortable in your heart, so quarrel with Lao Song more, it's good for your health."

If people could be killed with their eyes, then Emperor Wu of Zhou had already been hacked to pieces by He Lianfang.

"Old Song, Lianfang needs to vent her depression and anger, so you can quarrel with him again."

Song Dekang: "..." Boss, why do you want me to continue arguing with He Lianfang?
Wait, Song Dekang finally discovered something, and hurriedly asked: "Boss, you brought me here just to quarrel with this lunatic?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou snapped his fingers, "That's right, only you dare to quarrel with Lianfang."

Song Dekang felt that he was being used, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.

"Boss, I'm not a street shrew."

Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled and said, "You were quite like a street shrew just now."

Song Dekang felt that he had been scolded, and he had evidence.

"I see that you had a lot of fun and enjoyed the quarrel just now." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "It's been a long time since you quarreled so happily."

Song Dekang smiled embarrassingly: "It's true." Then, he looked at He Lianfang, "Madman, why don't we quarrel for a while?"

He Lianfang felt that Emperor Wu of Zhou and Song Dekang were playing with him, so he said with a gloomy face, "Get lost!"

"Cut!" Song Dekang curled his lips and said, "Who do you think you are, if you tell me to get out, just get out."

He Lianfang was too lazy to talk to Song Dekang, and looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou with gloomy eyes.

"What are you here for?"

"Come and see you, let you vent the anger in your heart." Zhou Wudi said with a smile, "I just had a quarrel for a while, and I feel much happier."

He Lianfang said coldly, "If you fart, let it go."

Song Dekang knew that his task was completed, he didn't say anything, and stepped aside obediently and quietly.

"I just came to see you, there is no other meaning." Zhou Wudi said, showing aggrieved face, "Why don't you believe me?"

"Are you worried about your youngest son?" Mentioning Zhao Yao, He Lianfang raised an inexplicable smile, "Your youngest son is really interesting!"

"Oh, what's so interesting?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked with great interest.

"Hehe, your youngest son is much more interesting than you."

When Sun Kui and Song Dekang heard He Lianfang's laughter, their scalps immediately went numb.

Emperor Wu of Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that Xiao Shi is very satisfying to you."

"Satisfied, very satisfied!" The smile on the corner of He Lianfang's mouth deepened, "Your little son suits me so much!"

When Song Dekang heard this, his heart skipped a beat immediately, and a worried look appeared on his face.

"Crazy He, what are you going to do to His Royal Highness?"

He Lianfang glanced at Song Dekang coldly and said, "What can I do to His Highness as a cripple."

Emperor Wu of Zhou took a deep look at He Lianfang, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Since Xiao Shi is so in line with your wishes, then I will help you, how about it?"

He Lianfang's eyes narrowed immediately when he heard the words, and he looked at Emperor Zhou Wu fiercely.

"You don't regret it!"

"I don't regret it." Emperor Wu of Zhou raised an eyebrow at He Lianfang, "I'm afraid you will regret it!"

"What regrets do I have for being a cripple?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou rested his elbows on the table, and crossed his palms to support his chin.He raised the corner of his mouth, showing a very innocent smile: "Lianfang, how about we make a bet?"

"What do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet that Xiaoshi agrees with you."

When He Lianfang heard this, she raised the corners of her mouth with great interest and said, "Okay, what are we betting on?"

"If you win, it's over for me, isn't it?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said this very lightly.

Sun Kui and Song Dekang standing aside did not understand what Emperor Wu of Zhou and He Lianfang were talking about, but after hearing what Emperor Wu of Zhou said just now, their bet was very dangerous.

"What if you lose?"

He Lianfang said: "I will not lose."

"Are you so sure that you won't lose?" Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his brow on the right and said, "Are you so sure that you will win?"

"I will win!" He Lianfang said very firmly, "You will lose!"

"I think I will win, but you will lose!" Zhou Wudi said confidently, "After all, Xiao Shi is my son!"

Regarding Zhou Wudi's words, He Lianfang let out a mocking laugh.

"Lianfang, I lost, I let you slaughter me, how about it?"

"emperor!"

"Boss!"

Sun Kui and Song Dekang were frightened by Emperor Zhou Wu's words, and they said in disapproval, "Boss, you can't..."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand to interrupt Song Dekang, and looked straight at He Lianfang: "Lianfang, if you lose, let me kill you at will, how about it?"

He Lianfang stared at Emperor Wu of Zhou sharply, and said, "Don't I let you slaughter me now?"

"It seems to be the same, after all, you are now my prisoner." Zhou Wudi felt that He Lianfang's words were right, "Well, I won, and you will always be loyal to Xiao Shi in your life, and you will have no second thoughts. What do you think? ?”

When He Lianfang heard this, he knew what Emperor Wu of Zhou was planning.

"You want me to be loyal to your youngest son all my life?"

"Yes, do you dare to promise?"

He Lianfang was not an idiot, he immediately understood many things.

An angry look appeared on his face: "That's what you did in the first place!"

Emperor Wu of Zhou said frankly: "Yes, but Xiao Shi was chosen by you yourself, I didn't force you!"

The more Sun Kui listened, the more confused he became. He asked Song Dekang in a low voice: "General Song, what are the emperor and the others talking about?"

Song Dekang was also confused when he heard it: "I don't know either." The boss and that lunatic He Lianfang were playing some charades.

"Okay, I'll bet with you." He Lianfang smiled darkly, "I won, and you can let me handle it."

"No problem, you won, you can pinch me as you like." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, winking at He Lianfang.

"Zhao Zheng, I will make your life worse than death!"

Emperor Wu of Zhou showed a look of fear, folded his arms and said, "Lianfang, I didn't expect you to be so kind, I'm so scared."

He Lianfang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Emperor Wu of Zhou, so she directly issued the order to evict the guest: "You can get out!"

"Lianfang, don't be so heartless?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Let's talk again."

"I have nothing to say to you." He Lianfang pointed at the gate and said to Emperor Wu of Zhou, "Get lost!"

"You haven't told me yet, what's so interesting about Xiao Ten?"

He Lianfang sneered: "Why should I tell you?"

"Xiao Shi saw you today, what did he tell you?"

"Talk a lot." He Lianfang mocked, "Didn't you send someone to monitor me? Don't you know what I said to your youngest son?"

"They didn't monitor your conversation with Xiao Ten."

When the hidden guards saw Zhao Yao coming to He Lianfang, they would not monitor them all the time, nor would they monitor their conversations.Therefore, the secret guards did not know what Zhao Yao said to He Lianfang during lunch.

"That's a pity."

"What did Xiao Shi tell you?"

"I won't tell you." He Lianfang said in a serious tone, "Zhao Zheng, just wait to lose to me."

He can't wait to make Zhao Zheng's life worse than death!
