Lanke Chess Edge

The red cloth slipped to the ground, and the old eunuch surnamed Han was pale at this time, not to mention the right hand that was holding the cloth just now, but his whole body was shaking slightly.

With a pale face, he looked at Eunuch Li to one side, and then looked outside, only to find that there were guards outside. His legs softened, and he immediately knelt down.

Eunuch Li looked at him and spoke indifferently.

"Eunuch Han, His Majesty appreciates Eunuch Han's service for many years, and rewards Eunuch Han with a length of white silk and a pot of poisoned wine. Eunuch Han can choose on his own. As for why he received such rewards, Eunuch Han should be clear in his heart."

"Ho er... ho..."

The old eunuch on the ground looked at Eunuch Li, and then at the tray that the young eunuch was holding, with a look of horror.

"No! No! I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty! I don't want to die, I don't want to die... I beg Eunuch Li to inform His Majesty, and Eunuch Li please remember the friendship we have worked together for many years!"

The old eunuch hurriedly crawled on his knees, trying to hug Eunuch Li's leg, but was easily dodged by the other party. Seeing his snot and tears, he was really afraid that his eyes would be insulted if his clothes were dirty.

"Han Eunuch~~ Your Majesty's temper is not unknown to you. If you knew today, why did you do it in the first place! But it seems that Eunuch won't use white silk by himself. Come and feed Eunuch Han a drink!"

"yes!"

Several guards with high martial arts skills stepped into the house immediately, and pressed the old eunuch who wanted to flee in a hurry to the ground like an eagle catching a chicken. A guard pinched his chin lightly, forcing the old eunuch to open his mouth.

Another guard took the jug and didn't do anything to pour the wine, just opened the top bottle and poured it into the old eunuch's mouth.

"Woo...uh...uh..."

The old eunuch was so excited that his hands and feet struggled violently, but the greatest strength in his life was nothing in the hands of the guards. After drinking the poisoned wine, the guards directly held down his mouth to prevent him from vomiting.

Gradually, the struggle of the old eunuch's hands and feet began to weaken, and he twitched only a few breaths later, until he was silent again.

Several guards stood up.

"Boom..."

The light from the lightning illuminated the face of the old eunuch on the ground, his face turned blue with purple foam overflowing from his mouth, and his eyes were even more violent.

The sky has been gloomy these days, but it hasn't rained. Tonight is the first thunder in several days.

The sudden sound of thunder and lightning woke up many people who couldn't sleep, including the First Prince and King Jin.

. . .

When Eunuch Li returned to the imperial study, the old emperor was lying on the bed, covered with a thin silk quilt, and a court lady gently rubbed his forehead.

When he came to the imperial study room, the old eunuch subconsciously slowed down his steps, and only spoke softly when he reached an appropriate distance.

"Your Majesty, Han Baishan is already on his way."

The old emperor opened his eyes and glanced at the old eunuch, waved his hand, and the maid beside him immediately pushed away a few steps.

"Well, send someone to send the secret decree on the table to Qian Junke and Yu Han, and tell them to just do their job well and don't need to worry too much."

The old eunuch looked at the two volumes of yellow silk imperial decree on the table in the imperial study, and swallowed subconsciously.

"yes!"

Not daring to guess what the emperor was thinking, after bowing down, the old eunuch took the imperial decree and stepped down.

In the largest post house in Gyeonggi Prefecture, in a courtyard room, Yin Zhaoxian and Ji Yuan had already chatted about the growth of the second son of the Yin family.

Compared with Wei Wuwei's son Wei Yuansheng's abnormal intelligence, the three-year-old Yin family's second son looks much more normal. Smart is smart, but there is no exaggerated difference from other children of this age group, and there is only one It's nicknamed "Tiger".

When the thunder sounded, the conversation between Ji Yuan and Yin Zhaoxian was also quiet. It seemed that they had just made a bet. You don't need to be too clear, but you know that the bet is in his favor.

Yin Zhaoxian frowned watching Ji Yuan's actions, a strange man like Ji Yuan must have noticed something.

"Why, Mr. Ji felt something was wrong? Is there something wrong with the child's baby name?"

Ji Yuan shook his head.

"No, it has nothing to do with Hu'er, it has something to do with the bet between you and me, Master Yin will understand."

On the second day, it was supposed to be a great court meeting, and Emperor Yuande was in poor health, so it was cancelled.

But at noon, Yang Qing in Wu Wangfu seemed panicked.

"How, how? How is it possible!"

King Wu walked back and forth in front of the hall, his face was covered with fine sweat, his usual calmness disappeared.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't panic!"

"Yes, Your Highness, there must be no chaos!"

King Wu looked at the several ministers and staff gathered in the hall, and said in an anxious voice.

"There is news in the palace that Han Baishan slipped and fell into a well last night, but this king knows that he died of poisoned alcohol. It is clear that his father killed him after he knew about this king. How can this king not be in a hurry? The emperor's temper..."

The people in the hall are all trusted confidantes of King Wu. At this moment, King Wu was in the middle of speaking in a hurry, and suddenly turned around to face everyone.

"Or we might as well..."

"No! Your Highness can't!"

Almost in the middle of King Wu's words, an old official stopped loudly, and some of the other people tasted it and persuaded him one after another.

"Your Highness, Master Zhang is right, you must not move such thoughts now!"

"That's right, Your Highness, since you think the emperor has noticed it, it is extremely difficult to succeed in lightly moving this mindfulness at this time!"

"oops!"

King Wu slapped his thigh hard.

"It is extremely difficult to succeed. At least there is still a glimmer of hope. Father has already begun to eliminate the dark lines planted by this king. When this king has no power to resist, it will be too late. If it is not that this king still has eyes and ears in the palace , I am still kept in the dark at this moment, and I will die in the future as a fool, but now I still have the strength to fight..."

"That's right, if Your Highness is about to revolt, I will follow!" "The same is true for the last general!"

Several military officials responded and drank.

"Your Highness! Listen to the old minister!"

It was the old minister who was under the door who suddenly spoke again, causing a momentary silence in the hall, and the impetuous King Wu also looked at him with suppressed anger, but his face was not very good.

"His Royal Highness, compared with Eunuch Han, are the other eyes and ears in His Royal Highness' palace hidden deeper?"

King Wu was taken aback for a moment, frowned and didn't answer right away.

"Your Highness, the old minister has the guts to say that Han Baishan was killed, maybe His Majesty let His Highness know on purpose. Since His Majesty has already seen everything about Eunuch Han, then His Highness's other eyes and ears may not be the same!"

King Wu subconsciously trembled, his face became even uglier.

"Your Highness, don't worry, you must not start trouble at this time, otherwise everything will be over. If Your Highness can hold your breath, we may still have a chance!"

"What chance?" "You should make it clear!"

A few people who hadn't figured it out couldn't help asking impatiently, while some smart people began to think carefully, and the old minister solemnly bowed to the King of Wu.

"His Royal Highness Wu Wang, there is only one way for us to go now, and that is to wait quietly, and don't make any more delusional thoughts! Please think twice, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, please think twice!" "Your Highness, please think twice!"

Some people who wanted to understand one after another were willing to invite them. King Wu is not stupid, but it is really difficult to calm down as a party involved. Even if he wants to understand now, it is still difficult to calm down the strong anxiety and anxiety in his heart. He really feels too insecure.

But even so, it is still possible to force yourself to choose a correct judgment.

"Okay! My lord is waiting!"

That afternoon at the Prince Jin's Mansion, King Jin and a few people around him also knew about Han Baishan's "slip and fall into the well" in the palace last night.

It's just that King Jin has no eyes and ears to get the fact that Han Baishan died of poisoned alcohol.

But having no eyes and ears doesn't mean that you can't guess it. In fact, both Li Mushu and King Jin himself guessed that Han Baishan was definitely killed rather than an accident.

In particular, the eyeliner reported that King Wu hastily summoned many confidants to go to the palace. Although they all traveled secretly, they could not escape some dark lines from King Jin.

"Based on Li Gong's words, it seems that Han Baishan may be His Highness King Wu's eyes and ears beside His Majesty?"

The head of the Chu family said in surprise.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is too courageous, dare to reach out to the emperor's personal eunuch?"

"My elder brother is naturally courageous."

King Jin answered in a daze when he heard the words.

A small counselor in the hall also interjected.

"Since that's the case, His Royal Highness Wu and the others must be extremely disturbed, right? They must have done something outrageous, but we only know that His Highness Wu reached out to the Imperial Army Zhang Jianying and the Southern Army. OK?"

Li Mushu shook his head and smiled.

"Since His Majesty has moved Han Baishan, then everything is in His Majesty's hands. Maybe King Wu will know about the move of the Imperial Army, but I don't know how hard His Majesty's blow will be, whether it will knock down the clouds. It counts, or just beat him to death..."

The head of the Chu family looked at Li Mu's book and said.

"If His Royal Highness Wu raises an incident, the possibility of success is unlikely, but His Royal Highness Wu may choose to fight to the death, and we have to guard against it!"

Li Mushu looked at him and was about to speak, but suddenly found that King Jin had been absent-minded since just now.

"Your Highness, isn't this good news? Why is Your Highness so sad?"

King Jin smiled at his teacher.

"Of course it's good news..."

But King Jin's smile quickly subsided, and he continued.

"It's just that I'm thinking, if this is the case, father still wants to make eldest brother the heir apparent?"

"Ah!?" "This..."

"Is this possible?"

King Jin squinted his eyes and looked out of the hall, which was the garden where the auspicious winter came that year.

"Hehe, that's what I thought it was, but we were in a desperate situation before, but now we have a chance..."

King Jin turned around.

"Teacher, I think the eldest brother will still choose to make a fuss. If he can't make a decision, we will help him!"

"Your Highness, you..."

"Teacher, I know what you want to say, but I only saw this opportunity, the only opportunity, after all, it's a brother. In terms of courage, I'm no worse than my elder brother!"
