Chapter 164 Unexpectedly

Hearing that the voice under the tree gradually disappeared, Nie Yuansheng took the lead in getting out of his hiding place, and Mu Biwei then turned over and came out - the place where they hid was just a cave covered by thorns not far from the pine tree. Maybe it was because Ouyang 19 and others did not have this hole here in the past years, so they were actually bullied by the thorns in front of the cave. In the past.

Mu Biwei was eager to catch up with Nie Yuansheng because of the burden of her dress. When she stepped over the thorns, she stepped on a loose blue stone and slipped. Although she did not fall down, she felt pain in her calf. She thought it was cut through the dress by the thorns, but she was not convenient for Nie Yuansheng's face to check at this moment.

She walked a few steps in pain, but saw that Nie Yuansheng did not go far, but looked at the top of the pine tree not far away with his hands behind his back. Because Ouyang 19 and his voice did not deliberately lower their voices when they spoke, the two heard the movement just now from the beginning to the end. She caught up with Nie Yuansheng in a few steps and asked in a complicated mood: "The crossbow above... You arranged it. ?"

Originally, she was quite surprised to see Nie Yuansheng have an appointment with her and fall asleep at the place she made an appointment. Now that she thinks about it, is it because he is tired of climbing up the tree to set the trap? In fact, a careful search of what they hid was absolutely impossible to avoid. The cave was not deep and there was no other exit. Only then did Nie Yuansheng notice that someone was coming. When she pulled her in, she was reluctant to hide, but because Ouyang 19 and his party gradually marched, they were worried that they would be found to have not hide in the dispute... ...

Nie Yuansheng's eyes were deep, paused, then shook his head and said lightly, "No!"

"Who is that?" Mu Bi was slightly shocked. Judging from the words of Ouyang Nineteen and Gao Qilang and others just now, the reason why they kidnapped Min Erlang and Min Silang came together today was that they were tampized on the mountain path and were taken advantage of by others when they left the palace - it was Nie Yuansheng who was here at this time. You know that Mu Bi However, he took time to give him a wink. Nie Yuansheng took advantage of the moment he passed by and gave her a written note in advance. Ouyang 19 and Gao Qilang's hands and feet on the mountain path may not be seen when he came for the first time, but Nie Yuansheng was familiar with this Xiji Mountain. How could he not know?

The hidden cave has concealed the first search of Ouyang 19 and his party, but it may not be able to avoid it for the second time, but the ancient pine in front of him is so tall, and Gao Qilang claims to be smart. He actually thought that people may also hide in the tree... With Nie Yuansheng's understanding of the nearby terrain, he hid and killed people on the tree. The trap is not surprising. The problem is that even if you tell yourself about this matter, you can't make a decision with him except that you are particularly wary of him.

If the crossbow is really Nie Yuansheng's placement, why should Nie Yuansheng lie?

"This kind of crossbow is owned by the Ye City Army." Nie Yuansheng withdrew his sight from the top of the tree, reached out to hide the dust on his clothes, and said calmly, "The crossbows equipped in the Feihewei are more exquisite than this one. The former commander of the Yecheng Army is Wei Liebo, the father of Zuo Zhaoyi. The Qujia is fine. Those who are not more than 100 in the Ye City Army can't touch this thing at all. Although today's successor However, it is not the Qu family, but it follows the system of the Qujia in time. I just want to ambush in the tree. How can I use this kind of thing that is easy to find out the source?

Mu Bi was slightly stunned and said, "Those people just now seem to be from the Yecheng army?"

"It's not surprising that something happened suddenly and couldn't react for a while." Nie Yuansheng said thoughtfully, "But someone has taken over this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

He suddenly turned his head, stared at Mu Biwei, and said in a low voice, "Before they came over, is what you want to say related to King Anping?"

Mu Bi nodded slightly: "That's right..." She was waiting to continue, but Nie Yuansheng closed his eyes as if to cover up some emotion. After a long time, he sneered: "You don't have to say that I almost guessed what it is. After all, the people of King Anping just left!"

"So Ouyang Shijilang is not sent by Ouyang?" Mu Biwei was shocked, "Is he from the king of Anping?"

"Ouyang Nineteen?" Nie Yuansheng said lightly, "Don't you find Qingyi? Although those people seemed to be led by Ouyang Nineteen Lang and Gao Qilang, in fact, if something really happened, the decision was Gao Qilang. Ouyang Nineteen Lang was just a supplement!"

Mu Bi clenched her fist slightly and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?"

"Qingyi should know that Your Majesty has been loved by Gao Zu since he was a child and has been raised by Gao Zu himself since he was a baby." King Anping's sudden move seemed to make Nie Yuansheng cautious. This time, he did not avoid Mu Biwei's words, but said solemnly, "So although the former emperor grew up with four sons, in fact, your majesty did not grow up with the former emperor and the empress dowager. The so-called kindness is not as good as grace, not to mention that your majesty grew up in front of Gao Zu, a generation of emperor and grandson. Even the two direct brothers of King Anping and King Guangling, Ping Su did not dare to steal your majesty's limelight too much, so as not to make Gaozu's face be lost. Therefore, the former emperor and the empress dowager have always been guilty to the king of Anping, the king of Guangling and the eldest princess Xuanning! This is also the reason why Emperor Gaozu must openly order his former emperor to take His Majesty as the crown prince in front of his ministers on his deathbed!"

"Is it that King Anping is unwilling?" Mu Biwei seemed to understand something.

Nie Yuansheng laughed: "What's more unwilling is the late emperor!"

"What?" Mu Bi was slightly shocked, and Nie Yuansheng said lightly: "The former emperor tried to compete with the king of Jiqu for many years. At first, Emperor Gaozu had been watching coldly until he realized that the king of Jiqu was younger than the previous emperor, the means were insufficient, and his arrogance was too arrogant, which made Pang Guifei angry, but for King Jiqu was just Yedu. That's why King Jiqu later entangled with the army and counterattacked Yedu. Even so, Gaozu did not kill or abolish him as a commoner... In fact, if Emperor Gaozu made a decree to make King Jiqu a commoner at that time, then he completely lost his qualification to fight for the throne. When the former emperor succeeded to the throne, maybe in the palace of Jiqu He may not be sick and dies together, but will give him a rich and noble life, so that the world can know how benevolent the late emperor was!"

In his words, there were many disrespectful words to the former emperor and Gao Zu. Mu Bi frowned slightly and only listened to Nie Yuansheng say, "But Gao Zu did not do so until Gao Zu's death. Although the king of Jiqu had been under house arrest at that time, and the former emperor was a righteous prince, because the king of Jiqu was neither abolished nor abolished nor Killed, always... like sitting on pins and needles!"

"Do you mean that His Majesty is jealous of the throne of the crown prince?" Mu Bi asked blankly.

"If Qingyi entered the palace when the emperor was present, he must know that the old man in the palace knew something." Nie Yuansheng said lightly, "That's the clan. The former emperor attaches the most importance to the eldest son, King Anping, and the Empress Dowager's favorite son, the youngest son, King Guangling. Without the last words of the Emperor Gaozu, you will never be on the throne today!"

Mu Bi squeezed her lips slightly: "But the former emperor still obeyed Gao Zu's words!"

"There was nothing the former emperor could do. Gaozu lived a long life, but the former emperor took the lead in conquering the world. He accumulated several serious injuries and damaged his vitality and succeeded to the throne. He did not have many days of life. If he wanted to disozu's intentions, it must lead to cause civil strife in the royal family. Although the former emperor favored King Anping, he did not prefer everything for him. The point." Nie Yuansheng sneered and suddenly turned his words and said to himself, "I was elected as your majesty's companion when I was six years old. My grandfather and parents died early. My uncle treated me well, but he only attacked a Linyi county magistrate handed down by his grandfather. He has no important position, so why should he support me? My glory and wealth are all on your majesty. If anyone wants to move your majesty's throne, he will be the first to go!"

"Since King Anping has a disgominy heart, why don't you directly make it clear to your Majesty with your majesty's trust?" Mu Bi frowned slightly.

Nie Yuansheng gave her a strange look and suddenly smiled: "Mu Qingyi, you have been in the palace for a few days. Although Jique Qingyi's identity is humble, it is a servant of the imperial envoy. I sent Xiao and Song for you, so that you can serve your majesty close to your majesty these days. Jie, what do you think would happen if I told Your Majesty bluntly?

"Are you worried that Your Majesty won't believe it?" Mu Bi was silent for a moment and tried.

"Ha! I am the same age as your majesty and have been called a king and minister for 12 years. How many times have you seen your majesty in the past 18 years? If Your Majesty still believes that he doesn't believe me, have I been dreaming for 12 years? Nie Yuansheng sneered!

Mu Bi said slowly, "Since the servant has such confidence, after your majesty heard that King Anping is not a minister, my concubine thought that your majesty would definitely get angry. Even if she does not kill the king of Anping, she will definitely suppress it clearly! And this is what the waiter doesn't want to see... or what he can't afford?"

Ji Shen is not a person who can hide his mind, or he has long been used to a noble identity, so he doesn't have to hide his mind at all. More likely, under the guidance of Gaozu and the late emperor who always regarded him as a crown prince, his patience in his life has been used up before succeeding to the throne, even Xuanning, who was just a few words of quarrel. Princess, he can openly remember the hatred for several years. If he knows the coveted by King Anping, he can't bear to say anything!

Nie Yuansheng said indifferently, "I sacrificed my life for righteousness. Qingyi regarded the subordinates too highly."

Mu Bi nodded slightly: The crown prince of the former emperor was the king of Anping, and did not dare to disbey the order of Gaozu. It was nothing more than that Gaozu lived. He was very old when he succeeded to the throne - the former emperor Ruizong reigned for less than five years, and the four years of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, he has not innovated politics for three years to show the old example of respect for the late emperor, that is, It was said that it was convenient for Ruizong to show his fists for less than two years. In fact, this may also be the reason for the violent illness of King of Jiqu. After Ruizong succeeded to the throne, he felt that there was not be much time. He could not slowly disintegrate the remaining party of the King of Jiqu, nor could he replace the ministers left by Gaozu of the Manchu Dynasty for an elderly crown prince, so he could only deal with Jiqu by thunderous means. Wang, try to eliminate hidden dangers for the young Ji Shen's administration.

Unfortunately, neither Gao Zu nor Ruizong expected that Ji Shen would reveal his true form immediately after their death - the new emperor was not interested in political affairs at all, so that even the auxiliary ministers who Ruizong painstakingly selected for him before his death could not get his minimum respect.

In this case, even if Gao Zu dares to ask Ruizong to promise his favorite grandson to succeed to the throne before his death, he will definitely leave his successor, and after Ruizong succeeded to the throne, he had to obey Gao Zu's order and continue to calculate for Ji Shen how to stabilize his throne... But only looking at the situation of the left and right prime ministers, he really can't It is said that King Anping has no hope.

What's more, in today's military forces in Yedu, the Qu family can be said to be deeply rooted in the Yecheng army. Just looking at the successor did not change the Qujia system, they knew that even if the Qu family handed over the military power, their influence in the Yecheng army could not be easily erased. Ji Shen was not beautiful because of Zuo Zhaoyi's appearance. If there was no support of the Empress Dowager Gao, the daughter of the Qu family almost The favorite concubine from a maid of honor failed to enter the palace. Although the Qu family is still the highest person in the palace, there are only a few times she has gone to the Hualuo Hall for Ji Shen in two years. It is unreasonable to say that he did not treat Zuo Zhaoyi badly.

Ji Shen's real dependence is still the flying crane guard. When the flying crane guard was created by Gao Zu to fight in the world, it changed from the original personal guard. Ruizong didn't last long, so it was probably the old people left from Gaozu's time. They were originally the most loyal guard of Gaozu, and they were naturally extremely loyal to Ji Shen, who was personally appointed by Gaozu-- This is also the reason why King Anping and King Guangling have the title of title of title, but they have never had real power.

It's not that they don't want to fight, but they don't dare.

In one day, even if the flying crane guard holds the palm of the Ye city army, it is impossible for the rebellion to incite everyone.

The problem is that Ji Shen believed that the king of Anping had a bad heart, and even told him to immediately order Feihewei to destroy the full house of Anping's palace. Nie Yuansheng may not be able to do this, but the end after he did it was by no means what he wanted - the king of Anping was the eldest son of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the princess was the eldest niece of the Empress Dowager Gao, and her sister Xuan Princess Ning is the wife of the Lou family, and her younger brother, King Guangling, took the concubine Qu as the eldest daughter of the Qu family!

Even if Ji Shen spoiled Nie Yuansheng again, he joined hands to assassinate Nie Yuansheng with the power of the two families of Qu and Gao. After that, the Empress Dowager Gao came forward to recognize him. Can Ji Shen kill the Empress Dowager as a servant of Huangmen?

What's more, Nie Yuansheng seeks wealth and honor all his life, not the glory after death!
