Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 252 Tiger poison and food
Bingzhou, Jinyang.

Fu Jian had been bedridden for several months, and his condition was getting worse. Pingchang Wang Fujing privately asked the imperial doctor and found out that her uncle was dying.

Fu Jing was deeply disturbed by this.

His relationship with his cousin Fu Sheng was not good. After all, no one expected that Fu Sheng would be captured alive by Huan Xi and be poisoned by Liu Wuhuan.

As for Fu Sheng's temperament, Fu Jing, as a cousin, naturally knows what kind of temper he is. He is a wolf cub who will definitely retaliate for his anger.

When Fu Jian was alive, Fu Sheng did not dare to act recklessly, but once Fu Jian passed away, who could restrain Fu Sheng?

On the third day of June in the eleventh year of Yonghe (AD 355), Pingchang Palace, backyard garden.

Fu Jing accompanied his young son to play by the pond. The slaves and maids were all sent away by Fu Jing.

There is a saying that one person should not enter a temple, two people should not look into a well, three people should not hug a tree, and one person should not lean on a railing when sitting alone.

Fu Jing's young son was having fun, but when he was facing the pond, he was pushed into the water.

At this time, Fu Jing's face showed no trace of sadness. He said to everyone in a deep voice:

Even if someone told him that Xiao Langjun had passed away, Fu Jing was unwilling to believe this fact.

Fu Jing stretched out her hand and found that her son was no longer breathing. She felt relieved and hurriedly swam ashore with the body in her arms.

Due to Fu Jing's outstanding acting skills, no one suspected that he drowned his son himself.

He struggled in the water and called for help, trying his best to reach out to his father. As expected, Fu Jing jumped into the pond, but she put her palm on her son's head and pushed him down.

"Son! Don't blame me"

"You are all my confidants, and it is impossible to escape from the relationship.

The bedroom is an extremely private place, and some conversations will not be overheard.

Fu Jing muttered words and looked full of guilt, but this did not prevent him from using his hands to hold his son firmly under the water.

"When His Majesty is buried and the artifact is left without its owner, I will lead my troops to attack the East Palace and capture and kill Fu Sheng.

"At that time, I can support the young master, or I can establish myself as the emperor, and I will share the wealth and honor with all the kings!"

The people who are visiting the patient in the bedroom now are several of Fu Jing's confidant generals in the army. He has been leading the army in battles all year round, so of course he has confidants in the army whom he has cultivated.

“When interruptions continue and we suffer chaos, it is better to fight back than to sit back and wait for death.

After a while, there was no more struggle, Fu Jing let go of her hand, and a young body floated up.

On that day, the news that the youngest son of King Pingchang accidentally fell into a pond and drowned while playing in the garden spread throughout Jinyang City.

"Your Majesty is critically ill and has no way to recover. Now he is guarding Yanmen Pass with yellow eyebrows to guard against Huan thieves, while leaving me in Jinyang. This is because he knows that I have an old grudge with the prince and does not dare to let me lead troops outside.

The news spread, and people came to visit and express condolences in an endless stream. Fu Jing lied that her beloved son had died young, and she was so sad that she was bedridden and could only receive guests in her bed.

Tiger poison does not eat its children, so Fu Jing naturally had ulterior motives in killing her own son.

"Fu Sheng has a violent personality. If he ascends the throne, I will be in danger.

In fact, after everyone informed her, they walked into the room and could not see the slightest trace of sadness on Fu Jing's face, so they already realized that something was wrong.

When Fu Jing appeared in front of the slave holding her son's body, he cried so much that he wanted to find an imperial doctor for the child.

Now after hearing Fu Jing's words, she was even more shocked and sweating profusely, her two legs trembling.

However, since Fu Jing can rest assured to plan big things with them, these people can naturally be trusted.

Sure enough, a bold person said: "As King Pingchang said, when Fu Sheng takes the throne, we, as the old members of King Pingchang, will definitely be ignored.

"Now that His Majesty's life is in danger, Fu Sheng is not a wise master and cannot take on such a big responsibility.

“The King of Pingchang is wise, powerful, wise and courageous, and Dayu Sheji can only rely on King Pingchang.

"As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger, why don't we assist King Pingchang and plan for great things together!"

When the words have reached this point, there is no room for anyone to refuse. Fu Jing will not hesitate to kill her own son for the opportunity of this secret discussion. If anyone refuses, I am afraid that they will not be able to leave the Pingchang Palace today.

Moreover, wealth and honor are attractive to people. With Fu Jing's prestige in the army, as long as Fu Jian is dead, there is no chance of success.

After all, although Fu Sheng was brave, he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. After Fu Chang's lesson, Fu Jian did not dare to let Prince Fu Sheng lead the army again.

Fu Jian personally led the attack on Dai, leaving Fu Sheng in Jinyang to supervise the country.

Therefore, Fu Sheng has never been able to establish prestige in the military.

Everyone thought for a moment and expressed their willingness to follow Fu Jing.

Fu Jing was not unhappy because they had hesitated. On the contrary, only decisions made after carefully weighing the pros and cons were worthy of his trust.

When Fu Jian, King of the East China Sea, came to Pingchang Palace, Fu Jing's confidants had already left.

When Fu Jing met Fu Jian, her face was full of sadness. He beat his chest and said in regret:
"If I hadn't been unaware for a moment, how could I have let him fall into the water? Poor my son, he died at the age of five. It hurts me so much!"

Seeing him blaming himself so much, Fu Jian couldn't bear it and quickly comforted him:
"Life and death are all determined by destiny. Why should I blame myself so harshly? This is also the calamity that my nephew deserves in his life."

Fu Jing's tears couldn't stop flowing. Fu Jian said many words to comfort him, but they all had no effect.

Soon, Fu Jian said goodbye. He was here to visit Fu Jing on the order of his uncle Fu Jian. Since Fu Jian fell ill, Fu Jian had always lived in the palace to attend to the illness in front of the emperor.

Back in the palace, Fu Jian asked about Fu Jing's situation. Fu Jian answered truthfully. Since there were no outsiders in the dormitory, Fu Jian still added his own opinion:

"Your Majesty, I believe King Pingchang is extremely sad, almost fake. I'm afraid there is something fishy in it."

However, Fu Jian just shook his head:

"Jian Tou, if you haven't experienced the pain of losing a child, you won't understand."

Fu Jian thought he could understand Fu Jing's current mood.

When he saw the head of his eldest son Fu Chang, he was heartbroken.

Fu Jing has always loved young children, and Fu Jian also knows this. Now that he is bedridden due to excessive grief, it is normal. Fu Jian also once said during the court meeting because of Fu Xiong's death. Vomiting blood in public.

Fu Jian really couldn't understand the pain of losing a son. He had just become a father, and his eldest son Fu Pi was not born until last year.

Seeing Fu Jian say this, Fu Jian no longer insisted.

After all, he had no evidence, and his previous doubts about Fu Jing were just based on his own intuition.

Of course, Fu Jian dared to speak frankly to Fu Jian, and he also noticed the change in his uncle's attitude towards Fu Jing.

If it had been left in the past, even if he had doubts, he would still choose to remain silent.

But if you mention it in front of Fu Jian today, even if something happens in the future, it won't involve you.

What's more, given Fu Jian's current relationship with Fu Jing, he would definitely not mention this matter to him.
