Chapter 628 Eccentricity
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Mr. Shen was vomiting blood, almost semi-conscious and escaped from the palace city under protection. Afterwards, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities commanded the entire city. Manhunt.

Although later there were rumors to the contrary that Master Shen was the son-in-law of the Xia family in the middle of Shu, who concealed his identity and entered the palace with the intention of committing misconduct, the death of King Cheng, and His Majesty's coma were all related to him.I don't know if there is another conspiracy, so it must be captured and interrogated severely.

All those who conceal and cover up shall be punished with the same crime.

These two theories are completely opposite to each other. As for which one to believe more, this person...has preconceived notions. In addition, some people secretly talked about King Ning, which is too fast.

However, in just one year, first the King Sui died suddenly, then the crown prince conspired against him, then King Ning surpassed King Cheng and became the heir to the throne, and then King Cheng died and His Majesty became seriously ill. The idle prince who knows how to have fun has become the emperor's younger brother who is above the court, and this change is not unpleasant.

And no matter who did those things, the ultimate beneficiary is King Ning.

Then, everyone has their own minds about whether the earlier rumor is true or not.

Naturally, he would not dare to take and cover Mr. Shen, but it does not hinder private gossip.

Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, he changed from public to private, and talked about a personal grievance between His Majesty and King Ning.

But it turns out that His Majesty and King Ning still have a feud for taking his wife.

His Majesty's concubine, Xianfei, was once King Ning's sweetheart, and she was only one step away from becoming Princess Ning, but was taken by His Majesty when King Ning went to the border to defend and fight.

Those who heard about it couldn't help sighing, thinking, if this is the case, it's no wonder that King Ning is planning to take His Majesty's seat, even if His Majesty loses the throne, he deserves it.

Who let the old saying be good, the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife are irreconcilable?
However, someone mysteriously mentioned that after this concubine entered the palace, she and King Ning were still ambiguous and had a sneaky relationship. I heard that this empress was thrown into the cold palace, and that the concubine surpassed the noble concubine. Directly in charge of Fengyin, acting as an agent for the affairs of the Six Palaces was also facilitated by King Ning.

If it wasn't for the fact that the relationship between the two is still there, how could it be possible?

The romantic affair between the uncle and the sister-in-law...that fully mobilized the hearts of gossip in the entire capital, and there were thousands of private discussions without talking about it. Even within two days, a storybook was quietly circulated among the people. "Xiao Lang is not a passer-by", although I dare not name it seriously, but in the storybook, Ai Ai, in the period of time, had no choice but to say goodbye to his lover, entered the palace as a concubine, and later reunited with his lover in the palace. It is the fateful pair of mandarin ducks, King Ning and Concubine Xian!

The script has been widely circulated, and those who can read are vying to pass it on, and those who cannot read can still hear a few words from others, and everyone listens with gusto, and passes it on vividly.

It wasn't until the imperial court finally began to arrest people in major teahouses and wine shops on the charge of falsely speaking about the royal family, that the rumors were calmed down on the surface.

But it’s only on the surface. After such a suppression, in private, everyone believes that those rumors are true. Otherwise, why are you so violent and not allowed to tell everyone?
The soldiers and horses of the five cities were all over the streets to arrest people every day. After two days like this, the capital finally calmed down.

Sure enough, after two days, news came from the south.His Majesty actually secretly sent out an order ordering General Xia to lead the Xia family army to King Qin of Jing. General Xia ordered people to post the copied paper order all over the territory of Daming, and His Majesty also counted King Ning in detail. Several piles of guilt.

It was said that he had plotted against the law and was disobedient, and even announced to the world the evidence that King Ning secretly murdered King Sui and instigated the prince to rebel.

At the same time, General Xia issued a letter of crusade, which also reprimanded King Ning for his treason, which was an unforgivable crime. He also stated that after receiving the order, he led the Xia family army to march northward in secret. Ling, or General Xia, who surrendered without a fight, opened the gates of the city quietly one after another, allowing the army to pass through.

Right now, the army is about to pass the Qinling Mountains and is approaching the border of Hanzhong.

And Shen Yue and his wife also obtained His Majesty's secret order, entrusted by General Xia, to come to Beijing to protect His Majesty.

As a result, the capital city that had been quiet for a few days exploded again, and the entire daimyo might be thrown into chaos.

It was past half of the night, and the South Study Room was still brightly lit.

Zhu Jingyu was dressed in armor, his face sank like water, and his steps sank into it.During these days, he searched everywhere for Shen Yue and his party, but found nothing. In addition to the rumors inside and outside the capital, as well as the Xia family army that had already forced them to the north, every one of them was like a boulder weighing on his heart. Over time, others dared not get close to him easily. They just felt how warm and moist he was on weekdays. The third son of Prince Ning’s Mansion, who was like a spring willow, has now become Yama, who is not to be approached by strangers. It's like entering an ice cellar in the sky, and the heart is cold.

Zhu Jingyu was quite clean, and there are many benefits to having such a cold face.

For example, now, when the servant at the door of the South study saw him, he didn't dare to say anything, so he saluted him and opened the door for him.

He moved forward, and after taking two steps, he stopped at the curtain.

There was already a voice coming from the other side of the floor covering, and the first person who was aggrieved was the second son of King Ning, Zhu Jingyu's second brother, Zhu Jingsheng, "Father...why? Obviously the elder brother is the eldest son, and we are your legitimate sons." Son, such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds should be left to my elder brother and me. How can I let the son of a concubine born by Zhu Jingyu, a lowly maidservant, pass us? The father has become more and more partial recently. Cheng, do you want to surpass us and let that bastard inherit the throne?"

The so-called "bitch" didn't care at all, but after King Ning heard it, he said angrily, "You are all flesh and blood of this king, and you are brothers and sisters. If I let this king hear it again in the future Don’t blame me for not letting you speak like this.”

"Father..." Zhu Jingsheng was naturally unwilling, and was about to say something again, but was pulled by Prince Ning's son Zhu Jingyang, so he had to shut up.

Zhu Jingyang was much more stable than Zhu Jingsheng. He took a step forward and said with a smile, "Father, calm down. It is the son and the second younger brother who are rude, and the third younger brother is brothers with us. At this time, we should watch over and help each other, and help our father together." The king's great cause is hard work."

King Ning's expression turned pale as expected, and he nodded, "Look, your elder brother is more sensible than you. Anyway, this king decided this matter after careful consideration, so you don't have to think too much about it. , but also to share the worries of the king."

Zhu Jingsheng was unwilling to say anything, but was stopped by Zhu Jingyang, Zhu Jingyang smiled and said something, King Ning became more and more pleasant after hearing this, and the two brothers saluted King Ning and then withdrew.

But he didn't want to, turned around the floor covering and saw the person standing under the curtain.
