Chapter 59 Concubine's seizure of power
After Ke Chengyang repeated the situation of leaving the imperial uterus to Xia Wuchen, Xia Wuchen's face not only did not relax, but became more anxious: "What's wrong? I just want to be angry with the prince.
"It's over, Ke Yushi, go back quickly and persuade your father to mobilize all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized. Hurry up, you must catch up before Dugulan's action."
"Go back and let my father mobilize his troops? Why?" Ke Chengyang was confused when he heard it.
"A common woman seizes power and seizes power." Xia Wuchen clenched his fists and was obviously so anxious that he was almost crazy. "I don't have time to explain it to you now. Anyway, you have done what I said for a long time. In addition, this matter also has something to do with your sister's death. Hurry up. If it's too late, the court will fall into the bloody wind.
"I believe you once." Ke Chengyang was confused, but Xia Wuchen's anxious eyes were not deceptive.
Leaving the Spring Warm Palace, Ke Chengyang left the palace at the fastest speed and went straight to the Marquis of Ningguo. However, the closer he is to the Marquis of Ning, the more Ke Chengyang can feel the tense atmosphere, which is imminent and suffocating.
"No dust, what's wrong with you?" Ouyang Wan has never seen Xia Wuchen's so worried expression, which only proves that something really happened.
"Ouyang, did you just ask me who killed the princess?"
"Yes, who?"
Xia Wuchen's eyes are dark and unpredictable like a lake: "There are three murderers who killed the princess."
"Three people?"
"The first murderer is Ke Wu, the second murderer is my father, and the third murderer is the crown princess herself."
"Wait, you said that the murderer who killed the princess was the Marquis of Ning, and the emperor and the princess herself."
"The prince's concubine Ke Ruyan represents the Ke family with 500,000 military power, while the prince's Fengyi Dugulan represents the Dugu family with 300,000 military power. In other words, the prince has 800,000 military power, isn't this a threat to his father?
Ouyang Wan recalled, "In those years, your father decreed Ke to marry the prince. If he was afraid, how could he personally order marriage?"
"At that time, the prince's power was not so huge, and his father also wanted to win over Ke by marriage. Ke Wu is also smart. Although he holds 500,000 military power, he never participates in the government, so that he can spend so many years safely. But now, the prince's power is too great, so his father must cut off one of the prince's hands. No, to be precise, it should be that the emperor wants military power.
"Can you speak more clearly? I was confused when I heard it.
Xia Wuchen continued, "Who do you think will be the biggest beneficiary of the death of the crown princess?"
"Dugulan." Ouyang Wan hesitated and changed his words, "No, Dugulan is a concubine. Even if she removes the crown princess, she can't become the main room."
"If I guess correctly, my father and Dugulan have made some kind of deal."
"Your Highness, can you take care of my wisdom? You jump so fast that I can't keep up." Ouyang Wan shook his head helplessly. Although he thought he was not extremely smart, he was not too stupid. It's just that every time he faces the problem of scheming, he will be like an idiot. I can only listen to Xia Wuchen's almost perverted jumping thinking.
"The father wants military power, Du Gulan wants identity, and the crown princess wants dignity. They have created today's situation for what they want. Xia Wuchen sat back in the soft chair and put his hands together as if praying, "Ke Ruyan died in the uterine. According to Ke Wu's rectum, he would definitely mobilize the army to surround the palace. Even if he did not surround the palace, he would definitely surround the uterine. At this time, Dugulan will mobilize Dugu's 300,000 military power. Don't forget that although Ke Wu holds 500,000 military power, only 150,000 are near Linyun. But Dugu's 300,000 soldiers are near Lin Yun. In the battle between the two armies, it is already a matter of certainty who will win or lose.
Xia Wuchen paused and then said, "Once Ke Wu is defeated, the emperor will take the opportunity to recover Ke Wu's military power, and Dugulan will become the crown princess as she wishes."
"You just said that the third murderer was Ke Ruyan herself, so she committed suicide. This doesn't make sense. Even if the emperor and Dugulan have planned all this, it is impossible to force Ke Ruyan to death. If I remember correctly, Ke Ruyan also disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield. How could such a woman commit suicide?
"Holy fragrant flowers."
"You mean that Ke Ruyan was poisoned by the holy fragrance flower?"
Xia Wuchen smiled miserably and said, "That's right, holy fragrant flowers. I think you have seen the role of that kind of flower with your own eyes.
Ouyang was silent. He had seen the tragic situation of the poisoned person, and the poisoned person he had seen was Xia Wuchen sitting leisurely on the soft chair at this moment. In order to control his brother, Xia Yan once mixed the powder of holy fragrant flowers into the incense burner. Over time, Xia Wuchen can no longer leave the aroma that makes people drunk and dream.
However, when Xia Wuchen was about to lose his dignity as a human being, the director of the Supervision Institute, who saw no end at the sight, asked someone to bring a letter to him.
After that, Ouyang Wan imprisoned Xia Wuchen in the suburbs of Linyun City in the name of Weifu's visit as written in the letter. During that month, he saw a noble prince struggling in hell, as ferocious as a demon.
Finally, after January. Xia Wuchen completely quit the poison of the holy fragrant flowers and also got rid of the control of the prince.
"I'm really afraid that you won't be able to survive at that time." Ouyang Wan said with some guilt, "In case you die, I will die."
"It's better to die than to live like that. Ouyang, thank you."
"Thank you. If you really want to thank me, let your emperor's father increase my salary. 1,200 taels of silver is not enough. Prices have risen rapidly recently."
"Alas... Can you stop always mentioning silver?"
"I can't." Ouyang Wan's attitude was extremely resolute and said, "If all this was planned by the emperor and Dugulan, will Dugulan use his 300,000 military power to threaten the emperor to divide some of Ke's military power to the prince?"
"No. Don't forget that the emperor has 500,000 soldiers in his own hands. Moreover, Dugulan's purpose is to become a concubine. Without the emperor's will, do you want her to rebel?
"Your father originally had 500,000 military power. If Ke Wu's 500,000 military power is also recovered this time, then there will be one million military power. The 100,000 military power in the empress dowager's hand can basically be regarded as the emperor's, with a total of 1.1 million military power. What does your father want to do?
Xia Wuchen shook his head: "I don't know."
"Eh? How could you not know that you could even see that your father and Dugulan joined hands? How could you not know what he was going to do with this one hundred million military power?
"As long as you use your brain a little to weigh Xia's gains and losses, it's easy to see through. But the father wants more than 100 military power, which is definitely not to play conspiracy and tricks. I can't figure out the name of this. However, I guess I should be preparing for war, otherwise I really can't figure out what my father wants to do.
Ouyang Wan rubbed his head and seemed to use his brain excessively: "Alas, I can't stand you royal people. Are you tired of living in conspiracy every day?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"If it were me, I would definitely be driven crazy."
When Ke Chengyang rushed back to the Marquis's Mansion of Ningguo, the sedan chair in Dugulan also stopped at the General's Mansion of Zhenguo. Du Gulan looked coldly at the black closed iron gate. Behind the iron gate, there are her memories of the past ten years, but all the memories have only one color, black.
At the age of nine, she watched her mother and her father hang.
White Ling has no blood, and the soul of incense has been broken.
What followed was the days when even animals were not as good as animals. Why do you treat me like that? The young Dugulan once questioned her sister Duguyu and her brother Duguwen, but the answer was:
Because your mother is a conspiracy sinner and the daughter of a dirty prostitute, all of them don't deserve to live a human life.
Now, she is no longer a little girl who was bullied by others. One day, she wants to make the whole Dugu family proud of her, and she wants the whole court to kneel at her feet.
