Chapter 379

The news that the Ming Palace was broken through by assassins in the middle of the night spread throughout the entire capital in a gust of wind.

Everyone is waiting for the news from the Ming Palace, to see who is so daring to do such a thing, so the commander came out of the palace with the imperial decree in hand, and ordered a group of Beiya imperial guards to follow behind him , has attracted much attention.

On the streets along the way, there were servants from various families, pretending to be passers-by and following furtively to see where the commander was going.

The commander-in-chief also knew that he was being followed by the eyeliners of various families, but he did not stop him, and led the Beiya Imperial Army all the way to the First Prince's Mansion.

Standing outside the gate of the mansion, the commander-in-chief ordered, "By the order of the Holy Majesty, from today onwards, the Beiya imperial guards will guard the First Prince's Mansion."

After saying that, he nodded to the left and right, waited until he knocked on the door, and walked in with two sergeants, and the First Prince's Mansion was also surrounded by five steps of the Beiya imperial guards.

In less than half an hour, those who have been paying attention to this matter all know that the assassin broke through the palace gate was done by the first prince.

Many people found it inconceivable, thinking to themselves that the First Prince's courage is too great, even doing such a rebellious thing.

Then, what will His Majesty do to the First Prince?
"The eldest prince was demoted to be a commoner, and he was imprisoned in the eldest prince's mansion for the rest of his life, and he was not allowed to step out of the gate of the mansion."

Chi Qiguang took a sip of tea, and the eyeliners of each family still don't know what the commander-in-chief did after he entered the eldest prince's mansion. , Sangong and some of the Gonghou's family knew about it.

Ji Fushou thought that he could only be trapped in a small courtyard for the rest of his life, and he couldn't even take a step out of the gate, so he said "tsk tsk" several times, "It's been a long time, can people go crazy?"

Chi Qiguang nodded in agreement, "No, the eldest prince might really go crazy one day. However, Emperor Qi Cheng made another imperial decree, granting the three daughters of the eldest prince princesses with titles and three hundred dollars. Hushiyi."

Unexpectedly, Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows slightly, "I really thought that Emperor Qi Cheng is still a person who loves his grandchildren."

Chi Qiguang smiled, "I guess it's because of Du Heng's denunciation. If the fourth prince didn't bring someone to stop him this time, those assassins could really rush to the Qianqing Palace."

Ji Fushou propped his chin, and asked with interest, "What is the eldest prince's reaction?"

Chi Qiguang shrugged, nonchalantly, "It is said that he passed out the moment he saw the commander enter the door. Maybe he thought Emperor Qi Cheng wanted to kill him."

Ji Fushou let out a 'huh', "Then he can still see the blue sky and white sun after waking up, so he should be glad that he escaped the catastrophe of beheading."

"Besides, the empress was deposed and reduced to a fifth-rank concubine. The reason was that she had a lack of virtue and was incapable of raising her children. The plaque of the Marquis of Cheng'en was also removed and became the Fang family."

Emperor Qi Cheng was clearly furious in his heart. It was his last kindness not to kill the eldest prince directly, but he didn't have such a good face towards the queen and the Fang family.

"Emperor Qi Cheng won't get a reward if the fourth prince brings someone to escort him?" Ji Fushou asked with a playful smile.

Chi Qiguang hooked his lips, "No, neither the Fourth Prince was rewarded nor Concubine De was rewarded. It seems that our sage has begun to be afraid of the Fourth Prince."

When Emperor Qi Cheng calmed down, thinking about it again, the fourth prince brought soldiers to escort him, and it was even faster than the Beiya Imperial Army. This shows that the fourth prince has the ability to mobilize the army. How about forcing the palace like a prince?
Thinking about it this way, the Ming Palace is quite jittery, and within three steps you can see a Beiya Forbidden Army, especially the Qianqing Palace, where there is a mass of black heads, sharp blades and guns, even the servants shiver.

The corner of Ji Fushou's lips curled up, "The fourth prince brought people to rescue him, but he didn't get any credit at all. How did this happen?"

The two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Jiujiang Mansion is named after Jiujiang. People living near the Jiujiang River live by the Jiujiang River, irrigate their fields with the water of the Jiujiang River, and feed on the fish and shrimp in the water of the Jiujiang River.

It was not yet dawn on this day, a middle-aged man led three young and strong young men to the river as usual, the middle-aged man was carrying a pair of big fishing nets, and the three young men came to the river beach , working together to push the fishing boat on the shore into the water.

The four jumped on the fishing boat, slowly rowed the oars, and drove towards the Jiujiang River.

Wind lanterns are hung on the bow and stern of the boat, and the river cannot be seen clearly in the darkness. The middle-aged man relied on his experience and whispered: "Just stop here and try."

The fishing boat came to a slow stop, and the three young men began to straighten the fishing net. After the net was scattered, the middle-aged man threw it vigorously. After a short wait, the four of them began to pull the fishing net upwards vigorously.

After pulling the fishing net onto the fishing boat and looking at it with the wind lantern, the middle-aged man frowned, "There is nothing to gain in this first fishing."

There were only a dozen fish in the fishing net, and the three young men squatted down and began to sort them. The small fish were thrown back into the river to continue raising, and the big ones were more than seven or eight taels, and they were put into the wooden bucket filled with water next to them. living in.

"Go, let's go over there and have a look."

The fishing boat drove forward for a certain distance, but the father and son did not notice it at all. Just under the water at the stern of their boat, there was always a person wearing water and following them underwater.

The fishing net was released again, and this time the harvest was very rich. The middle-aged man was very happy. He scattered the fish in the fishing net on the boat and asked his two sons to sort them. A net was cast.

Just when the fishing net was about to close the opening under the water, a person wearing a swimsuit suddenly swam to the opening and threw the koi in his hand into the opening. Seeing that the fishing net had caught the koi, the man swam to the other side with confidence. Go, bypass the fishing boat and sneak ashore.

"Hey, Dad, I caught a koi on the net today." The youngest son carefully held a koi in his hand, his brows and eyes curved with joy.

Hearing his words, the others also looked over, and when they saw the koi that was about the size of a forearm, they sighed, "I'm afraid it weighs more than three catties or four catties, our family is really lucky."

There has always been a local legend that the prince of the Dragon King made a mistake, so he was punished and turned into a koi. Only by jumping over the dragon gate can he regain his status as the prince of the Dragon King. Fuze.

Because of this, the middle-aged man deliberately emptied the wooden tray, filled it with a basin of river water, and asked his younger son to carefully put the koi in it.

"Guaidao has caught so many fish since he came here. It turned out to be the blessing of the Dragon King Prince." The middle-aged man grinned.

When the wooden barrels on the boat were filled with fish, and the family returned home contentedly, the sky became white. As usual, after they parked the boat ashore, they would bring the fish in the wooden barrels to the market for sale. .

But today is a bit different. I found a koi on the Internet today. The middle-aged man decided to let his three sons sell fish. He took the koi home first and raised the koi in a tank to save it from being wronged in the barrel. took it.

The middle-aged man carried the wooden barrel very carefully on the way back, and everyone who knew him greeted him and took a look at what was in his wooden barrel. Seeing this, they all envied him.

"Father Da Shun, did you catch a koi?"

"This koi is so big, it must have grown for a long time."

"Oh, look at the color of the koi. It's golden all over. This is the first time I've seen such a koi."

"The koi was changed by the Prince of the Dragon King, isn't it exactly the color?"

"Hey, no, look, that koi rolled its eyes!"

As soon as the exclamation came out, Da Shun's father, who was originally complacently enjoying everyone's envious eyes, was shocked. He immediately put the wooden bucket on the ground and looked anxiously at the koi in the water. I rolled my eyes.

"Why does it look like you're going to die?" Someone whispered, looking at Da Shun's father no longer with envy, but with pity.

The koi is about to die before he catches the koi. Isn't that bad luck?
Da Shun's father was very anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks, "Could it be that the wooden barrel is too small, and the Dragon King Prince can't swim to his heart's content?"

Father Da Shun rushed home with the wooden bucket, and other people followed to watch the fun, and some kind-hearted people advised, "Father Da Shun, I see you, why don't you release the koi back to the river quickly, this blessing The color is too heavy, maybe you can't touch it."

Da Shun's father was sweating on his forehead, and said loudly, "Going home is closer than going to the river, take it home first and try."

What he was afraid of was that if the koi died on the way to the river and word got out in the future, who would dare to buy his fish?For a moment, I regretted it very much. I knew that I had released it earlier. Such a big koi must have become a fine carp. How could it be willing to be kept in a wooden barrel.

Da Shun's father rushed into the house, and before he could say hello to his wife, he carefully put the koi in his water tank. A group of people stared intently at the water tank, and after a quarter of an hour, he saw the koi White belly.

Da Shun's father's hands trembled faintly, "How could this happen?"

Others also sighed regretfully, yes, a good thing has turned into a bad thing, so, without this blessing, you can't raise koi.

Dashun's daughter-in-law's face was pale, but she took the koi out of the water tank in silence, because when she was holding the koi, the mouth of the fish was facing her, she suddenly frowned, and said in a very hesitant tone, "Did I see it?" Dazed, why do you see that there is something in the belly of the fish?"

Those who are busy look over their heads, "Let me see, I will see."

At this glance, the troublemaker also hesitated, "Why does it feel like there is really something in the stomach, and that thing seems to be white."

Two people said that there was something in the belly of the fish, and the others joined in the fun to look at it. After looking at it, they all vaguely felt that there was something in it. Someone suddenly said, "Why don't you cut it open and see what's inside?" thing?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all staring at Da Shun's father and Da Shun's mother.

Da Shun's father wiped his face, took the koi, and said, "His mother, bring me the kitchen knife." Anyway, it's like this, bad luck is coming, so let's cut the stomach open.

Da Shun's mother hesitated, but under the urging of Da Shun's father, she slowly brought the kitchen knife.Da Shun's father stroked the fish's belly, and a white object fell to the ground lightly.

"There's really something there!" a bystander exclaimed.

Da Shun's father quickly picked up the thing, wiped it clean with his hands, and found that it was a suet white jade plaque with characters on both sides. Da Shun scratched his head and looked at the crowd, "Who can read?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The news of a jade card hidden in the belly of a koi in the Jiujiang River spread widely, and the characters on the jade card were recognized by a literate scholar.

On one side is written a word [四], and on the other side is written [Tianzi] son.

At that time, Xiucai read the words on the jade card while reading it. When he realized what he had read, he almost threw the jade card away in fright, and then sent the hot potato to the magistrate's yamen in a hurry.

Don't dare to provoke, dare not touch.

But Jiujiang Mansion still spread the word, saying that it was God's will, that the fourth prince was the real dragon emperor.

Jiujiang Mansion sent the jade tablet and the memorial to Minghuang Palace in the capital city together in a hurry, and on the third day after Emperor Qi Cheng saw the Jiujiang Mansion memorial and jade tablet, Guanzhong also rushed to send a wooden box [-] miles away.

Inside is a stone tablet. It is said that this stone tablet suddenly rose from the river at the moment when the sun first rose, and stood firmly in the river. Many women who got up early to wash clothes by the river saw it and shouted, Wait for someone who can read to see it.

The stone tablet engraved with "Great Resignation to Si" was also sent to Emperor Qi Cheng.

These two incidents also spread in Beijing. When the jade tablet hidden in the belly of the koi first spread, the fourth prince did not take it seriously. After the stone tablet appeared, the fourth prince became anxious.

But what made the fourth prince terrified was that two days later, Southwest also sent an expedited [-] li.

The statue of the thousand-year-old turtle, camel and real dragon emperor emerged in the world.

It is said that the guardian who carried the wooden box into the Qianqing Palace recognized the statue as the fourth prince the moment he opened the wooden box.

When the news spread, if you think about the same two characters [四] before, even ordinary people would know that it was a will from heaven to inform the world that the fourth prince is the real dragon emperor.

As for the fourth prince, after receiving the news that the statue looked like him, he staggered, his complexion was as white as paper, and he was very depressed, "Oops, I really can't wash myself off by jumping into the Yellow River now."

After a while, the fourth prince gritted his teeth again, "Who is trying to harm me?"

But sooner, he was dejected, "I don't know what the father thinks, if..."

At this time, Emperor Qi Cheng, who was in the Qianqing Palace, looked at the three things placed in front of him with dim eyes, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Xizi, if the fourth son is the real dragon emperor chosen by heaven, what about me?" ?”

"puff"

Eunuch Xi knelt down on his knees, prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to say a word.

Emperor Qi Cheng was suddenly furious, grabbed the paperweight and threw it at Eunuch Xi's head, "I'm asking you something, are you dumb?"

Eunuch Xi replied tremblingly, "Of course the Holy One is also the Son of Heaven."

Emperor Qi Cheng sneered, "Oh."
