The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 311
After the banquet started, Wei Mingzhu seemed restless and didn't even move her chopsticks. Her beautiful eyes looked at Princess Guanzhen for a while, and then at Concubine Liang for a while.

Princess Guanzhen was persuading the noble concubine next to her to drink, when suddenly she felt a line of sight falling on her frequently, and when she turned her head, she met Wei Mingzhu's panic-stricken beautiful eyes.

Wei Mingzhu didn't expect Princess Guanzhen to look over suddenly, she panicked, and hurriedly shifted her gaze, pretending to entertain the noble lady beside her to hide her uneasiness.

Wei Mingzhu's abnormality aroused the doubts of Princess Guanzhen, but she had to put it aside temporarily because she had guests to entertain.

There is an open space right in front of Tingfeng Pavilion and Zhaixing Pavilion. Today, to celebrate Prince Ming’s birthday, Princess Guanzhen specially invited opera troupe from Beijing to the palace to sing. Since it’s a birthday celebration, it’s natural to sing the fairy aunt’s birthday celebration, etc. Festive track.

However, they are all operas that I have listened to again and again, and there is nothing new at all. After the round of toasts, Prince Ming was already a little overwhelmed. Birthday, everyone is happy, but you can't drink alcohol to fourth brother, too much alcohol will hurt your health."

When Emperor Jin opened his mouth, there would still be people who would dare to drink Prince Ming's wine again. Prince Ming gratefully walked to Bo Ting's side and said, "Thank you, brother, for helping me out." Beside Prince Ming: "My lord, the female guest thinks that today is the lord's birthday, and it would be better for him to order operas, so they asked the servant to show the list to the lord."

Prince Ming took the opera list, glanced at it casually, then seemed to realize something, and hurriedly handed the list to Bo Ting and said: "Brother Huang, let's see what songs you like to listen to, come and order!"

Bo Ting looked at the list in Prince Ming's hand and thought in his heart that this moment is still here, but on the face he said calmly: "Today is your birthday, fourth brother, let you, the birthday star, order some!"

This was what Prince Ming was waiting for, so he was polite a few times before he took the list and looked at it seriously.After a while, he frowned, and said in a displeased tone, "They're all songs that I've heard countless times, so there's really nothing new about them."

At this time, the housekeeper at the side hurriedly said, "My lord, I just heard from the host that there are a few new plays added to the last page of this repertoire list. Why don't you turn to the last page to have a look."

Prince Ming followed his words, turned to the last page, and then smiled at the butler as if seeing something novel: "This beauty looks interesting, just order this!" After finishing speaking, Prince Ming handed the list to the butler , looked sideways at Bo Ting and said: "Brother Huang, this Hongyan Jie is about a rich businessman who exchanged all his wealth for his beloved woman. The rich businessman became impoverished because of the beauty, so he named it after Hongyan Jie. Do you think it's okay?" appropriate!"

Bo Ting laughed and said, "I think it's more appropriate to change the name of this opera to "Don't Love Country and Love Beauty". Fourth brother, do you think what I said is right?"

Prince Ming choked, and for a moment didn't know how to answer, but he heard Bo Ting continue: "The ancients often said that beauty is a disaster, but in fact, I don't agree with the ancients. The beauty of a woman is not her fault, and a man does it for a man. Women do ridiculous things that are unacceptable, so are men right?"

Prince Ming didn't expect Bo Ting to say such a thing, he was startled, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Brother Huang is right, the younger brother was lying just now."

Prince Ming was talking to Bo Ting here, and the stage in front of him was already babbling and singing, and the song was suddenly changed, and everyone suddenly came to their minds, and their attention gradually focused on the stage.

The final outcome was that the actor was impoverished, not only did he not get the beauty, but he also lost his life.Looking at this scene on the stage, Bo Ting showed a thoughtful expression. At this moment, on the stage that was originally quiet, there was a loud drumbeat, and suddenly some guests joked to themselves: "This What are you doing, are you going to change the play of fighting and killing?"

The guest had just finished speaking when suddenly a large group of black-armored guards with long swords rushed in and surrounded Tingfeng Pavilion and Zhaixing Pavilion.

At this moment, Prince Ming drew out the soft sword from his waist and placed it on Bo Ting's neck with lightning speed.Bo Ting looked at Prince Ming, his eyes darkened a bit, he didn't expect to reach this point: "Fourth brother, put down the sword in your hand, I will spare you, otherwise you really can't turn back."

"Brother Huang, you really think I'm stupid. If I put down the sword in my hand, I will be the one who will die in the next moment." Prince Ming said with a half-smile, and then his cold eyes swept over everyone present, and finally Fixed on Bo Ting's face, his expression became ferocious and vicious: "Ministers, don't worry, this king will not kill the emperor's brother. He will let him go if he is only asked to write an abdication edict. Those who support this king as emperor, stand Come to the middle, as for those who don’t support it, don’t blame me for being cruel.”

As soon as these words came out, the members of Concubine Liang's natal family quickly walked to the open space in the middle of Tingfeng Pavilion, and some who secretly supported Prince Ming also took this opportunity to express their position.As the eldest son of Wei Chengzhi, Bo Ting's succession to the throne is a matter of course. Of course, this is when no one knows his true identity.Therefore, there are still two-thirds of the ministers in the court who support Bo Ting, including Prime Minister Zhong, the head of the hundred officials, royal family representatives King Jingxian, King Jiang Ning and other highly respected royal family members. important minister.

Seeing that many ministers would rather die than support him, Prince Ming's heart ignited raging anger: "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. General Lei, don't show mercy, kill all these people who are an eyesore."

After Prince Ming finished speaking, a middle-aged man led by the black-armored guards stood up. He slowly raised the long sword at his waist, and was about to give orders when a cold female voice suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute, Prince Ming! , Concubine Liang is in my hands, if you dare to act recklessly, I will kill Concubine Liang."

I saw Wei Mingzhu holding a dagger against the neck of Concubine Liang, standing outside Tingfeng Pavilion, forming a confrontation with General Lei.

The Princess Guanzhen who rushed over later gave Prince Ming an apologetic look, then anxiously fixed her eyes on Wei Mingzhu and said, "Sister Wei, what are you doing? You let your concubine mother go, she is yours." Mother-in-law, how can you be so rebellious."

"I'm rebellious, why don't you ask the lord? A good prince doesn't do it, but insists on doing such things as seeking to usurp the throne. He is the real rebellious!" Wei Mingzhu stared at Princess Guanzhen fiercely, and said coldly She reprimanded that the husband and wife are of the same mind and want to seize the throne, she is completely an outsider, even so, she has nothing to commemorate, the most important thing right now is self-protection.
