Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 167 Cast into a Golden Figurine
"Your ambition is too obvious, and you lack the composure of an emperor." Xiao Ye continued.

"No one is born to be an emperor, including you. Didn't you also walk out of the palace change 20 years ago and inherit the great rule?" Yu Shi's face changed suddenly, but he didn't flinch. "You said that the old man lacks composure, and that's also because of your deliberate arrangements."

"You need a domineering and treacherous minister to help you balance the power in the court, so you are doing your best to support me. But when my power is getting bigger and bigger, you feel jealous and train other people to confront me. Snipe and clam Fighting is what you want to see."

"Unfortunately, your plan was wrong, today is your death date."

The murderous look in his eyes shot out, and he immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to act.

However, before the soldiers took a few steps forward, several silver hooks floated in from the hall, strangling their necks precisely.In an instant, they were completely out of breath and all fell down.

Xiao Ye glanced at the fallen corpse, and burst out laughing, "Master Yu, you said something incorrectly, I didn't fear you when you were powerful, it was more than ten years ago when you When you first entered the court and became an official, the ending was set for you."

Yu Shi suddenly felt terrified, turned around and glanced outside the hall, but met a serious face.

"General Chang, when did you return to Beijing?" He said in shock, his men had all fallen to the ground, and none of his men could stand outside the hall.

General Chang Lu, who was guarding the southwestern border of Huaxi Kingdom, wore silver armor, and led his men to overwhelm General Ningyuan He Ji and Marquis He Tan of Changning, and beheaded them in front of the palace.

Neither of them even had a chance to call for help, so they went to see Hades.

Afterwards, Chang Lu walked straight in, bent his knees, and reported to Xiao Ye, "Your Majesty, my ministers and uncle Wang Guo led the army in ambush for a long time, and all the rebellious officials and thieves in the palace have been killed."

Xiao Ye used his internal strength to regulate his breath, took a breath and said, "Where is Uncle Wang Guo?"

"Waiting for orders in front of the Tai Chi Hall." Chang Lu said respectfully.

Xiao Ye nodded slightly, then slowly got up with the help of Eunuch Xu, and turned his condensed eyes to Yu Shi.

Yu Shi's face was shocked, and he staggered back a few steps, and there were rows of soldiers holding halberds, approaching him step by step, and the crossbowmen were hidden on the palace wall and in the grass.His situation is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

However, it seemed that knowing that he was defeated and that he would not be able to live for a long time, Yu Shi's heart relaxed a lot.

Rather than sitting and waiting to die, it would be better to die together. The fierce light was magnified inch by inch on his body, and he turned around laughing.

On the purple-gold boa robe, the wide sleeves and the beard that had not been healed for a long time on his face were blown by the spring breeze at night, and his rampant smile was like the face of a crocodile floating in a sea of ​​ghosts and snakes.

At this time, if a bolt of lightning strikes, his face should be even more frightening, and those who are in the court hall of the inner palace are all used to looking like lightning even if the sky falls. Such a pattern of motionless demeanor.

Therefore, almost everyone present still treated him coldly.

"Son Xiao Ye, if you want to send this old man to the west, don't you have to accompany me there?" Yu Shi snorted coldly, "I hope that at that time, you won't be defeated by this old man."

Xiao Ye's neck showed several blue veins due to the spread of the poison.For the time being, he was relying on his own and Chang Lu's internal strength to maintain it, basically there was no major reaction.

"Yu Xiang, you are wrong again. I said that the ending I set for you has never changed for more than ten years. Not only will I not send you to the west, but I will also keep you in the place closest to me. You can see clearly who the king of Huaxi Kingdom is."

"I will also let you know that Huaxi Kingdom's territory will continue to expand until all the rivers and mountains in the world come under my feet."

Xiao Ye's eyes were full of fiery ideas and disdain for Yu Shi's actions.He knows Yu Shi very well. He knows Yu Shi's ambition. Without the support of this ambition, Yu Shi would not have tried so hard to eliminate dissidents in these years.

Undoubtedly, these actions of Yu Shi are what he wants to see. Keeping Yu Shi, he can help him complete some things that are not easy to do on the bright side, and praise him, which will make him a target of public criticism.

With these benefits, even if he knew that Xiao Yan, the little prince, was not his own son, he would still dote on him when he was still valuable in Concubine Li.

Although most people were afraid of Yu Shi in the past, the resentment in their hearts has been squeezed for a long time, and one day it will explode.Therefore, I was only using the name of Yu Shi to embezzle funds from the Meishui Dam. If I wanted to punish the Yu family, a large number of people jumped out to express their support.

Yu Shi, he overestimated himself too much. He is no different from Concubine Li, Yu Moyan and others. They are all his prey. Even if he wants to get out of his control, he will return to his palm after a circle. middle.

In this world, there is absolutely no prey that you cannot catch!
"Eunuch Xu, present to Prime Minister Yu the golden house that I built for Prime Minister Yu more than ten years ago."

Eunuch Xu immediately understood Xiao Ye's simple words, walked into the inner room, took out a bunch of keys from the barrier under the bed, and led a large number of guards down first.

Yu Shi frowned tightly, Xiao Ye's words made him feel bad, it was a feeling that was more frightening than death.

No matter what, he wanted Xiao Ye to die with him now.

So, Yu Shi suddenly snatched the cold knife from a guard, and desperately stabbed Xiao Ye who was sitting on the couch to give him luck.

However, this kind of behavior of his was beyond his control. Before he could get close to Xiao Ye, the fierce wind rushed towards him and knocked him to the ground.

Yu Shi vomited a mouthful of blood, and when he was about to struggle for the second time, the group of guards led by Eunuch Xu came back.

At the same time, a golden cage was carried by them.The cage can only accommodate one person sitting and standing inside, and there is only one window as big as the head above.

Next to the golden cage, a pot of boiling golden fluid was also boiling in the pot, and it was moved here by people.

Yu Shi's heart trembled, and Xiao Ye calmed down a little. Pointing to the golden cage, he said slowly, "Does Xiang Yu like this cage made of gold? Xiang Yu is a person who is dissatisfied with the desire for prosperity and wealth." , I think you will definitely like it."

"So, I will be extra merciful and let you settle down in this golden cage for the rest of your life. You will be a work of art that I carefully polished, and will take root in the dungeon of the palace with your home."

"However, your home is too small, so I have to wrong a part of your body. However, I promise not to hurt your eyes, and I want to let you see how I became the master of the world step by step, and Not just the king of Huaxi Kingdom."

"And that position is what you have wanted all your life, but you will never get it."

Xiao Ye's voice was ordinary, but in Yu Shi's ears, there was a kind of coldness penetrating the bone marrow.Yu Shi stared at the golden cage with wide eyes, and if he wanted to stay in it for the rest of his life, watching Xiao Ye sitting on the whole world, it would be endless torture.

"No!" Yu Shi yelled, the pace of his feet suddenly increased, and he wanted to rush to the golden cage and ram his head to death.

However, the guards had already broken his legs and forced him to the ground.

Immediately, they looked at Xiao Ye's face, and after receiving instructions, they took a large spoonful of golden fluid from the pot and poured it on Yu Shi's body.Other palace servants assigned over painted his body with paint.

Hearing Yu Shi scream in pain, Xiao Ye said slowly: "Slow down, don't damage my artwork."

Not long after, Yu Shi's whole body was covered with paint, and the golden fluid solidified, forming a layer of gold foil outside the paint. Only a pair of eyes stared intently, and nothing else was painted on.

"It's time to get fired in the kiln." Eunuch Xu sighed, and said to the many palace people: "Remember to paint a layer of gold on the outside after firing, put on the golden jade clothes, and then put the gold figurines in the palace. In the golden house."

The palace people moved away the unformed figurines, together with the golden cage, without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is late." At this moment, the queen ran to the Dragon Palace in a hurry, and stepped into the main hall with eager shouts.

After Yu Moyan's death, as Uncle Wang Guo became more and more valued by Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye also asked the queen to move back to the Jiaofang Palace, so that she could be re-established as queen someday, and the prince would also return to the throne.

She also specially dressed up today, and the simple ordinary clothes she wore gave the feeling of a phoenix robe.The red gold double phoenix pattern on the topknot is swaying, the lips are slightly red, and the two slender eyebrows and eyes are outlined in a slightly flattering manner, adding a touch of surprise to the whole dignified and gentle face.

"Your Majesty, take the antidote quickly." She hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, and poured the antidote into her palm.

Xiao Ye glanced at her briefly, took the antidote, but didn't take it immediately, he first sent someone to deal with Xia Yuan who was hiding under the table.

He is also a monarch and minister, but Xia Yuan doesn't know that he has a wicked heart but no guts.The venom he gave himself was just an ordinary poison sold in folk medicine stores, and that kind of poison was more than enough for him.

It's just that, in front of Yu Shi just now, in order to highlight his "achievements", Xia Yuan praised how powerful the poison was.

When there was a bang, the table covering his body was split in two, and sawdust fluttered down on Xia Yuan's body, he still flinched and buried his head on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I didn't really want to poison you. I just said that to reduce Yu Shi's vigilance. I even prepared the antidote, and I plan to give it at any time."

Saying that, Xia Yuan took out the antidote from the porcelain bottle he was carrying, and offered it to Xiao Ye with both hands.

"I have plenty of antidote." Xiao Ye took the antidote given by the queen without looking at him, "So, you have already noticed Yu Shi's movement, and you know that he will act tonight. So, I just want to take this opportunity to see who will win between me and him?"

"Then, you poisoned me from the very beginning, and then continued to observe the situation to judge what is the best way to cook for you? If Xiang Yu really succeeds, you have a reason to join him. Even if you don't, you can still get my favor understanding?"

Xia Yuan swallowed his breath and was speechless.
