Chapter 270 The fifth act of King Jing

In the prison of the Clan Mansion, King Jing got Guo Tianxin a special cell alone.There was a charcoal fire inside, and the bed was covered with thick animal skins.

Emperor Cheng Wu looked at all this and nodded silently. At last, Prince Jing did not treat his half-brother badly.Guo Tianxin straightened his back and sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing Emperor Chengwu coming in alone, Guo Tianxin did not salute Emperor Chengwu for the first time like before.Guo Tianxin did not speak and did not stand up, but just sat silently.

Emperor Cheng Wu looked around, pulled a wooden stool and sat down, "Guo Aiqing, do you know why I sent you to prison?"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to know the reason why you have to die." Guo Tianxin said calmly.

"Hmph, any courtier can say this, but not everyone can do it. Tianxin, you and my monarch and ministers can be regarded as friends who have been together since childhood, and I was fed by your mother's milk. It should be said that I shouldn't treat you like this."

Emperor Cheng Wu paused slightly when he said this, and immediately turned his face cold, "However, your son-in-law Zhu Tianxiang secretly set up troops to plot rebellion. According to the laws of Dafeng, I have to do this. Dafeng Jiangshan, I don't want to Seeing it being destroyed in my own hands. I came here today, and I just want to ask you a question, do you know about Zhu Tianjiang's plot to commit crimes?"

Guo Tianxin smiled bitterly at himself, "Your Majesty, do you know if there is still a need for that now? Conspiracy is a serious crime in the court, and the guilty minister only hopes that the emperor can keep my Guo family's ancestors for the sake of my mother." Shrine."

Emperor Cheng Wu didn't answer Guo Tianxin's words, but continued to ask Zhu Tianjiang's topic.

"Tianxin, I ask myself that I didn't treat Zhu Tianjiang badly. I really don't know why he would do this. Could it be that Dafeng Dynasty really can't tolerate him?"

Guo Tianxin looked at Emperor Cheng Wu and shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, garrisoning troops privately does not mean rebellion. Although I am in the south of the town, my mother often mentions the matter of heavenly fall. If garrisoning troops privately is rebellion, then Zhou Yan When Tian was besieging the capital, Tianxiang recruited prison inmates and civilians from Shu Tian to fill up his army, so that he could defeat Zhou Yantian's rebel army in one fell swoop. So, he is also guilty of rescuing him?"

"At this moment and at that moment, I was trapped in the capital that day, and the heavens summoned warriors to return to the capital to rescue him. This kind of thing has happened since ancient times, and it can be said that it has passed in the court. But now, Zhou Yantian is dying, and Tianqing and the current There is no war in the cloud, what is the intention of setting up troops? I will give an explanation to all the ministers."

"Your majesty, I don't want to argue with you about these things. Since Tianxiang is my son-in-law, I have no complaints against the Guo family according to the law. I beg the emperor to let the servants of the mansion go. In addition, listen to Prince Jing Qiansui. It is said that many generals in the court have also been implicated, I hope the emperor will find out that they have nothing to do with this matter."

Guo Tianxin is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Although he is in prison these days, he knows all the news outside.No matter what happened, Prince Jing would come and tell him immediately.Knowing that Zhu Tianxiang was not arrested, Guo Tianxin has no worries, and now he only wants to die to save himself.If he didn't die, he knew that he might become a bargaining chip for Emperor Chengwu to blackmail Zhu Tianxiang, Guo Tianxin didn't want to do that.

Emperor Cheng Wu looked at Guo Tianxin's vicissitudes of face, at this time he was very conflicted, he didn't know whether to kill or let go.Emperor Cheng Wu weighed it for a long time, and finally decided to tell Guo Tianxin the secret between them, in exchange for stability in the army.

"Tianxin, I came here today because I have something important to tell you. But before I tell you, I hope you tell the truth. Do you have the intention of rebelling? No matter what you think, I only hope that you Can answer truthfully." Emperor Cheng Wu looked at Guo Tianxin intently, he wanted an honest statement.

Guo Tianxin said with gentle anger, "Your Majesty, you can kill me, but you must not insult the loyalty of the Guo family. Since Emperor Taizu, the Guo family has lost their lives in countless battles. My father and I have been guarding southern Xinjiang for two generations of courtiers. If you want to rebel, the minister will not hand over the military power at all. It is not that the minister is talking big, the soldiers of the Zhennan Camp, they only obey the minister's military order. This time, the Guo family was involved because of Xiaoxu's incident, and the minister is fine. It can be said that I only hope that the emperor can preserve the ancestral hall of the Guo family, so that future generations will know that there are loyal ministers like the Guo family." Guo Tianxin's face was stern, and his eyes were staring like he was about to quarrel.

Emperor Cheng Wu was moved and nodded slightly, "Tianxin, I believe what you say. But I ask you, if Tianxiang raises the banner of rebellion, will you still be loyal to me?"

Guo Tianxin smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I also know that Tianxiang is a high-minded boy. Even if he doesn't rebel, he will offend the imperial power one day. That's why I figured out how to give up my military power and live a peaceful life as a rich man." life."

Guo Tianxin's meaning is very clear, we don't want to help, hide away from whoever you love.

After Cheng Wuhuang heard it, he suddenly laughed a few times, "Tianxin, if I stood in your position, I might do the same. Very good, I am very satisfied."

After Cheng Wuhuang finished speaking, he stood up, and took out a few letters from his arms, "Tianxin, please read this first, after reading it, I believe you will understand why I am here today."

Guo Tianxin took the letter suspiciously, not knowing what Emperor Cheng Wu was acting on.After Guo Tianxin browsed a few lines, his expression suddenly became shocked.He couldn't believe it was true, but the letter did contain his mother's name and his birth date.You must know that in this era, the horoscope of birth is very secret. It is said that there is a kind of witchcraft in the world that can use the horoscope of birth to take people's lives. Maybe the outside world can know the month and day of birth, but they will never know the exact time.

Guo Tianxin stood up tremblingly, "This~ this is not true, absolutely not true."

Emperor Cheng Wu's face became extremely serious, "Tianxin, I don't believe it either, but it is indeed true. These letters written by the former emperor were handed over to me by Lin Feng, and he got them from your mother with his own hands. God Xin, I will definitely not misread the handwriting of the first emperor, you should be~!"

Guo Tianxin's face turned pale. He has lived so long, but he is not a member of the Guo family.He couldn't believe that this was true, because it involved the innocence of the Guo family and his mother.But one of them was written by Mrs. Guo, Guo Tianxin couldn't find out the reason for him to refute, and his mind went blank.

In the main hall of the clan mansion, Prince Jing looked at the incense burner next to him from time to time.The time for the two sticks of incense has passed, and there is still no order from the prison of the clan mansion.The more this happened, the more uneasy Prince Jing felt.

Prince Jing thought a lot. He not only considered his friendship with Guo Tianxin for many years, but also considered whether Guo Tianxin's death would force Zhu Tianjiang and Dafeng Dynasty to live forever.If he let Guo Tianxin go privately, King Jing felt that Zhu Tianxiang might live in seclusion and live a stable life with his wife and children.After thinking about it, Prince Jing finally decided that his younger brother would also be rebellious once.

King Jing wrapped the King's Whip with a thick coarse cloth, and wandered to the prison door with a feeling of drunkenness.Guo Tianxin was the only guilty official in the entire prison of the Zongren Mansion. Since Emperor Chengwu was inside, the officials and guards were waiting outside.

Prince Jing looked at it drunkenly, and waved his hands, "Everyone wait, let me leave the clan mansion for this king. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter."

The emperor's servants in the clan's mansion were very obedient, but the guards of Emperor Chengwu did not move.King Jing glared, "Didn't you hear what I said, get out of here!"

When the guards on duty heard this, the team leader hurriedly said, "My lord, Chitose, we are waiting to protect His Majesty's safety, and we cannot leave without authorization."

"If there is anything unsafe in the clan's mansion, get out, let me out." Prince Jing acted arrogantly, brandishing a whip wrapped in coarse cloth, and forcefully drove people out.

As soon as the guards left, Prince Jing wiped off his cold sweat, and stood carefully at the prison gate waiting.If you don't give the order to kill people, then that's fine. Once Cheng Wuhuang's successor enters, it's likely to be murderous.

Prince Jing's calves were a little trembling. It is estimated that today he will become the first prince to knock the emperor unconscious since the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty.

"Yu'er, daddy is doing this for you. If that little bastard from heaven doesn't name his first child Li, I won't let him go." King Jing muttered, holding Da Wang's hand tightly with both hands. whip.

"Come on~!"

In the prison, finally came the majestic voice of Emperor Chengwu.

King Jing trembled all over, and said that his heart was broken, the emperor didn't come out but called someone in, no need to ask, someone must have taken Guo Tianxin to kill him.

Inside the prison, Guo Tianxin was sitting on the edge of the bed blankly, with tears on his face.Emperor Chengwu turned his back to the prison door and looked at Guo Tianxin with his hands behind his back.

When Prince Jing saw Guo Tianxin's expression, he secretly sighed in his heart. It seems that no matter how mighty a general is, he will show his fragile side before he dies.

"Brother Huang, I'm sorry!" King Jing gritted his teeth, and swung the whip at the back of Emperor Cheng Wu's head.

Guo Tianxin saw King Jing clearly, he forgot to shout, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, unable to stuff two potatoes into it.
