The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 980 Rising tide

The sixth day of the first month of the 16th year of Guangde.

At this time in previous years, the streets should have recovered a bit of prosperity, but now not only is the industry sluggish, but also the whole city is full of coldness.

After having a hasty breakfast, Sun Shaozong walked to the front yard from the back house, and glanced at the Forbidden Army patrolling the street from the other door. His brows that had not been stretched before, the entanglement became more and more inseparable.

It has been nine days since the crown prince suddenly died, and he was also confined in his home for eight days, but even if I think about it now, it is still unavoidable to feel the impermanence of the world.

When he came out of the prison that day, he rushed to the Prince’s Mansion and walked around in five rounds to the garden. After waiting for a long time, he saw that Prince Shanshan was late.

But unlike last time, this time the princess was indifferent and indifferent, and she was in a posture that was a thousand miles away across the center of the Babu bed.

Wasn’t it very enthusiastic last time?

At that time, Sun Erlang was still slandering, saying that she was probably used to acting in a small theater and couldn’t control the “Tower of Days”.

Who would have imagined that the prince next door had just urged, and the prince put the clove uvula on the gums, and wanted to commit suicide on the spot!

Sun Shaozong, who was also at a loss, reacted quickly, and a vigorous step stepped forward and pinched the crown of the princess’s cheeks, which did not let her die.

I thought this was surprising enough.

Who knows that when Sun Shaozong had a headache, how to continue this bad show, there was a sudden uproar next door, and after a short while, the news came out that the prince’wrongly’ took the medicine pill and died in retrograde!

Sun Erlang, who was also at a loss, had seen him before, and in a panic, he tried his best to hide the identity of the princess, and helped her walk over the wall and return to the back house.

Otherwise, if someone sees through the ‘adultery’ on the spot, they are afraid that they will be wronged and become the first suspect in the murder of the prince.

Of course, it may not be all wrong.

Because he was in a place of suspicion, Sun Shaozong had been ordered to ban his feet at home-mainly because there were too many important ministers, otherwise he would not be banned but imprisoned-and did not participate in the subsequent investigation.

But after a few days of careful consideration, a face became clearer in his mind, and at the same time, there was a solemn promise:

“Erro despise me most of the time, but if Erlang finds it useful to me in the future, it will not matter if I lay down my life!”

Really things are impermanent!

When I met in Yangzhou seven years ago, who would have thought that a **** with a good skin would have the courage to assassinate the king seven years later?

Thinking about what he did like this, most of them didn’t want to be humiliated in front of others…

Sun Shaozong was moved in his heart, but he couldn’t bear it.

Shaking his head, shaking away the confusion in his heart, his gaze crossed the courtyard wall and looked in the direction of the palace.

Seeing that nine days have passed, I don’t know what kind of judgment the emperor will make. The sudden death of the prince is certainly a major event, but for the sickly Emperor Guangde, confirming the new heir is probably the top priority.

…………

Imperial city.

The Qianqing Palace was still heavily guarded in the past. At this time, it was three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry. The surroundings were impenetrable.

In the dormitory in the east of the center, Emperor Guangde’s muffled cough sounded continuously in the hall.

He finally stopped his coughing. He tried his best to support the huge bags under the eyes, staring at the blood red on the silk handkerchief that was concealed in a panic by the palace lady, until the silk handkerchief was put into the tray by the palace lady, and the little **** held it out of the hall. Only then slowly closed his eyes.

“Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor!”

At this moment, there was a surprise call, accompanied by rapid footsteps, crashing into the hall, only to see King Zhongshun three steps and two steps to grab the bed, wanting to hold Emperor Guangde’s hand, but seemed afraid It hurt him, but at last he just called emotionally: “Brother Emperor, you can be regarded as awake!”

Emperor Guangde slowly opened his eyes again, and carefully looked at King Zhongshun for a long while before he hissed: “So it’s your fourth brother.”

“It’s the minister!”

King Zhongshun was a little hairy when he stared at him, and he took a half step back without a trace, and said with a smile: “Brother Emperor, you have been unconscious for nine consecutive days after hearing the terrible news of the prince, but he has made his minister anxious.

“Is it.”

Guangdedi smiled hard, but suddenly asked inexplicably, “Who else?”

“Who else?”

King Zhongshun was taken aback for a moment, looked out the door subconsciously, and said suspiciously, “Except for the minister, there is no one else.”

“It’s not enough for you to be afraid.”

Emperor Guangde looked out the window, as if he could penetrate the barriers, faintly said: “There should be those two old ones who don’t die?”

King Zhongshun was stunned for a moment, but the suspicion on his face gradually disappeared. The originally humble body also unknowingly stood up, condescendingly confronting Emperor Guangde.

After a long while, he raised his hand and waved lightly, and all the eunuchs and palace ladies in the room retreated silently.

“Brother Emperor.”

King Zhongshun smiled and said, “When did you find out?”

“If you wake up and the people you are waiting for are strangers, you will also notice that something is wrong.” Emperor Guangde said, sighing quietly: “Plus the first person to rush over is you, what else I don’t understand. of?”

“just……”

Emperor Guangde’s half-opened eyes shot out some turbid cold light: “You have never counseled a government or military aircraft. Even if you have the help of an old man, you can temporarily isolate the inside and outside. But once the news leaks, you will not be afraid of being a dead man. Are all jade and stone burned?”

After a pause, he added: “Don’t forget, the chief and deputy generals of the three camps and one guard were either convicted in the time of the Supreme Emperor, or participated in the case of Lord Zhen Guo [Empress Mother’s Family]. It is absolutely impossible to accept that. The old stuff is making a comeback!”

“If someone raises the King Qin’s army by then, do you think that you can resist it by relying on the shrimp soldiers and crabs around the Taishang Emperor?”

“Hahaha…”

King Zhongshun suddenly laughed, shaking his head and shaking his head with great pride: “That’s why I have to thank the emperor. If you weren’t eager to put the prince to death, the courtiers might not be able to break the situation!”

“Prince Teng?”

Emperor Guangde frowned, muttering: “Wang Zi Teng, Wang Zi Teng, and Wang Zi Teng related?”

Suddenly he opened his eyes wide and blurted out: “Bohai Sea Master?!”

“Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from the emperor’s eyes! Three days ago, the 25,000 troops of the Bohai Sea Division left southeast of the Liaoning Province, and soon they will arrive in Beijing via Tianjin Guard. By then, the Emperor will be appointed by the Supreme Emperor, and the army will rely on it. In addition to the death of the prince and the doubts about the identity of the grandson, who else can prevent the king’s brother from meeting and accepting his orders?!”

Facing the energetic King Zhongshun, Emperor Guangde was indifferent for the first time.

After a long while, he sighed and said: “You and my brothers are originally female compatriots. For decades, the monarchs and ministers have never had a relationship with each other. Why is this?”

“Haha…”

King Zhongshun laughed again, but his eyebrows were a little more hideous than before: “Why? I thought I would never compete with the emperor for any position in this life, but he is a castrate and a junior, but In the name of a prince, he dared to humiliate me in every possible way…”

“That is your nephew after all, not to mention… not to mention that he is already dead.”

“so what?!”

King Zhongshun swiped his sleeves abruptly, almost hitting Emperor Guangde on the face: “After he died, wouldn’t it be that Xiaoyezhong’s turn to be the prince?! Do you still want me to be a slave? Like, knelt down at the feet of a four-year-old Xiao Yezhong pretending to be ugly?!”

He took a few breaths violently, and until he gradually calmed down, he slapped his hands freely at Emperor Guangde: “Brother Emperor, you can spend a few days of peace of mind here The minister still has important things to do, so let’s not accompany him.”

Having said that, turned around and walked away.

“Fourth!”

Guangdedi reluctantly turned around and gritted his teeth and said: “Are you really so unfeeling?!”

“Unfeeling?”

King Zhongshun turned his head and saw Emperor Guangde’s mouth was bloody, his face was sad and pleading, instead of sympathy, some pleasure suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn’t help but jokingly said: “How can the minister be unfeeling People? I have put those concubines back in Jingren Palace again, waiting for the emperor’s brother to be the queen, the ministers will join them in remembrance of the emperor from time to time, maybe I can help the emperor to accomplish many children and grandchildren. What a long-cherished wish!”

“you you……”

Emperor Guangde barely caught his breath, gritted his teeth for a while, and suddenly asked, “Is the concubine Xian De among them?”

“natural!”

King Zhongshun naturally said: “She is the most capable of nurturing, how can she be lonely to leave her alone in the cold palace?”

Arched his hands again: “Brother Emperor, the younger brothers retreat.”

With that, he turned around and walked away, but this time he still couldn’t get out of the hall door smoothly, and was stopped by a panicked little eunuch:

“The prince, the prince! Something has happened!”

The little **** yelled twice, and then whispered close to King Zhongshun.

After only a few words, King Zhongshun’s complexion changed drastically, and he blurted out, “How is this possible? There are obviously heavy soldiers guarding it, so it’s hard to fly!”

The little **** whispered again with a bitter expression on his face. Without saying a few words, King Zhongshun pushed him away, rushed out and shouted, “Come on, come on!”

In the hall.

Emperor Guangde tried to put his ears up and listened to the chaos outside.

After a while, a smile gradually appeared on his face. As the smile became more and more prosperous, the hoarse laughter could no longer be blocked. There were blood splashes between his mouth and nose, and he refused to stop for a while.
