Chapter 386: Luoyang Infighting
Wang Shichong looked at the important ministers of the clan and his three sons that he had relied on, and suddenly seemed to understand something in his heart-okay! The widow is not dead yet?! Thinking about the throne of the widow, and you people, one by one, came to calculate the widow, Wang Shichong suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xuanying! If the widow really passes on the throne to you, can you guarantee Li Tang's retirement? Also, can our entire Wang family be saved? Wang Xuanying nodded and said:
"Father, the son is absolutely sure." Wang Shichong thought of itβ'Hmph! It seems that you have already colluded with Li Tang's side. Wang Shichong had no choice but to give Wang Xuanying an order:
"Alright! Since you have the means, then well! The widow will decree now that you will be made a messenger with full powers. How about you go now and negotiate with Li Shimin for the widow? Wang Xuanying smiled:
"Hahahaha! Father! You're getting older and more nonsense, and you're having full authority. Hum! What a big official position! The father is really good at doing business, both to let the horses run and not to eat grass...... "Of course Wang Shichong understands in his heart - what Wang Xuanying wants in his heart is his own throne. However, after so many years of troubled times, Wang Shichong knows more clearly in his heart that if he hands over the throne and retreats to the position of the emperor, then he will not have the slightest chance of turning the tables, and Wang Shichong knows his sons very well, one by one is more ambitious, and the talent is insufficient. Originally, it was only Wang Shichong's expedient measure to establish Xuan Ying as the crown prince, and the most fundamental thing was that Wang Shichong hoped that after he sat down in the country, he would recruit concubines and give birth to a few decent sons, but now it seems that this wish is difficult to achieve. Wang Shichong stroked the dragon chair behind him and sneered softly:
"Huh! Xuan Ying, do you think this position is so easy to sit in? Wang Xuanying also began to press Wang Shichong step by step:
"Father! Don't you understand what your son said? Now that your time has come to an end, please take a curtain call! Rest assured, the child's life is yours after all, so please ask your father to quickly Zen the throne! Wang Shichong asked Wang Xuanying rhetorically:
"Xuan Ying, my father asked you, now that Li Tang has come to the city, our Dazheng is a few lonely cities in the south except for Luoyang, once Li Ying is killed from Jingzhou, our Dazheng court will be wiped out, and you are still here to bargain with your father." Wang Xuanying said with a smile:
"Father! Don't worry! As long as you give way, after I ascend the throne, I will sign a contract with Li Tang's side, and when the time comes, everyone will live in peace, at most, we will bow down to Li Tang, anyway, it is not that we have not knelt to others. Wang Xuanying's innocent face made Wang Shichong shake his head in his heart all the time - Wang Xuanying, are you really my son? Why don't you get any of the ingenuity and wisdom of labor and management? But Wang Shichong is still wrestling with Wang Xuanying:
"Xuan Ying, do you really trust Li Shimin so much? It's better to be like this, today all the clan relatives are here to testify, which of you can sign a treaty with Li Tang and save my Wang family from being in trouble, who will sit on the throne of the widow! How is it? Wang Xuanying was just about to have a seizure, and Wang Shichong said again:
"Of course, the widowed prince has a chance, you have to work hard!" When Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong heard this, they immediately opened their mouths and said to Wang Shichong:
"Thank you father, please rest assured, my sons and ministers will definitely remember my Da Zheng's service." Wang Shichong smiled and nodded:
"Good! It is a great relief to the widows that you can do this. Wang Shichong said to the other royal clansmen:
"Uncles and brothers, if you can accomplish this great cause, everyone will have a share in this throne!" Most of the royal relatives present were bewitched by Wang Xuanying, and now that there is a good thing to get on the throne, who is not desperately rushing forward like the dog who asked about the broth, and immediately rushed to agree:
"The minister must live up to the emperor's high expectations!" Wang Xuanying gritted his teeth and said to Wang Shichong hatefully:
"The son must not live up to his father's high expectations!" After Wang Xuanying took Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong and the royal clan relatives who conspired with their three brothers, the entire hall seemed empty. Looking at this empty hall, Wang Shichong suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness:
"Everyone says that the emperor is the most noble person in the world, but they didn't expect that the emperor is the loneliest and most dangerous person in the world. At this time, Wang Shichong's eyes looked at the dragon chair again, and his ears echoed the oath made by the original owner of this palace, Yang Tong, the former Sui Emperor Yang Tong, who he supported before his death:
"From now on, I hope I will never be born in the family of the emperor again."
"I hope to never be born in the family of the emperor again. If there is an afterlife, the widow is willing to hope that he will never be born in the emperor's noble family again. Wang Shichong muttered to himself. At this time, Wang Shichong felt that he was a little thirsty:
"Someone! Give the widow a glass of water, the widow is thirsty, come on! Someone! After Wang Shichong shouted for a while, a small servant brought a glass of water, and Wang Shichong picked up the teacup and drank:
"Hmmm! This taste...... It's ......" Wang Shichong turned around and saw the servant:
"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, it's you! Why are you here? "The little servant is Wang Shichong's grandson, the son of Shan Xiongxin and Princess Guangling, Shan Zheng. Shan Zheng said to Wang Shichong with a bitter face:
"Your Majesty, please drink water!" Hearing Shan Zheng's timid tone, I thought back to the time when I went to Shan Xiongxin's house, and Shan Zheng was coquettish in his arms - "Grandpa, you are here." β
"Ahh Zheng'er, Zheng'er has gained weight again."
"Grandpa, grandpa, your beard is so prickly!"
"Ahh Is it? Pierce you, pierce you......" Wang Shichong thought of this, and opened his hands to Shan Zheng:
"Come on! Zheng'er, come to grandpa's arms. Shan Zheng stepped back in fear, and then ran back. Wang Shichong ran out with Shan Zheng. followed Shan Zheng to the kitchen, and saw Wang Ying, the princess of Guangling, wearing an apron, boiling water in the kitchen to cook!
"Ahem, ahem!" Guangling princess Wang Ying was blowing on the stove, and the smoke smoked Wang Ying's originally white and tender face full of black ash, Shan Zheng ran directly to the side of Guangling princess Wang Ying and hugged Guangling princess Wang Ying:
"Mom!" Guangling Princess Wang Ying turned over and touched Shan Zheng's forehead:
"Zheng'er, did you bring tea to your grandfather?"
"Mom! He's not a grandfather, he's the emperor! Hearing Shan Zheng's immature tone, Wang Shichong and Princess Wang Ying of Guangling both felt a sense of sadness in their hearts. Wang Shichong couldn't hold back anymore:
"Ying'er!" Princess Wang Ying of Guangling heard someone calling her, and immediately found Wang Shichong standing at the door of the kitchen:
"Father! What are you doing here? Princess Wang Ying of Guangling looked at her coarse linen clothes, and her face was covered with black and gray. Immediately tidied up his clothes, and wiped his face with his hands:
"Father, son-in-law Guangling......" Princess Guangling suddenly remembered that she was no longer a princess, if she called herself Guangling, she would be said to be arrogant, and immediately changed her words and said:
"Father! The son Wang Ying'er saw his father. He said to Shan Zheng again:
"Right! Don't hurry up and call grandpa. Shan Zheng hugged his mother tightly and shouted timidly to Wang Shichong:
"Grandpa!" Wang Shichong smiled at Shan Zheng, and then asked Princess Wang Ying of Guangling:
"Ying'er, why are you cooking and boiling water for the widow here, why are you doing all these jobs, and what about the other handymen?" Princess Wang Ying of Guangling sighed, and said to Shan Zheng first:
"Zheng'er, you go out for a while!" Shan Zheng saluted Princess Wang Ying and Wang Shichong of Guangling and said:
"Grandpa, Mom! The child stepped back first. Looking at Shan Zheng's sensible appearance, Wang Shichong remembered the faces of his three bastard sons - Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong, 'I, Wang Shichong, am a hero, and I can't imagine that I will have to rely on my daughter to take care of me!" What a tiger father and a dog! Wang Shichong pondered for a while, and motioned to Wang Ying, the princess of Guangling, to continue:
"Ying'er! Tell me quickly, why are you cooking and boiling water for the widow here, why are you doing all this work, and the other handymen? β
"Father, you don't know yet! Since you announced who can sign a treaty with Li Tang and save my Wang family from embarrassment, who will sit on the throne in the main hall! The people around you are gone, and they all go to find thick legs to hug. Hearing this, Wang Shichong angrily smashed the kitchen table.
"Bastards, they are all bastards, these mercenary snobs, once the widow returns to power, these people must be put to death, and a thousand knives will be cut." Guangling princess Wang Ying did not speak, Wang Shichong said to Guangling princess Wang Ying:
"Ying'er, can you get out of the palace?" Princess Wang Ying of Guangling nodded and said:
"Father! Erchen has a waist card to go out of the palace, besides, although Erchen still has the identity of a clan daughter, but in the eyes of others, I am a slave and maid, and I can leave the palace at any time. Wang Shichong nodded and said:
"Good! Ying'er, that's good, that's good! Wang Shichong is like a man who has fallen into the water and grabbed a life-saving log.
"Ying'er, listen to me, after you leave the palace, you immediately went to find Wang Renze, today, I looked, Wang Renze did not participate with their gang of beasts. Therefore, you immediately go out of the palace to find him, tell him what happened in the palace, and let him find a way......" After Princess Guangling Wang Ying received the order, the token went out of the palace and came to the gate of Wang Renze's mansion, and saw that Wang Renze's palace gate was heavily guarded, and the servants in Wang Renze's mansion had to go through strict inspections when they entered and exited, and Princess Guangling had no choice but to walk along the wall, saw a dog hole, and drilled into it from the dog hole. Wang Ren was in the house, a few months ago, when Shan Xiongxin sent troops, Wang Ren suddenly fell ill, vomited and diarrhea, and could only recuperate at home, and when Wang Ren asked Wang Shichong for leave to recuperate at home, Wang Xuan should pretend to pass on Wang Shichong's holy decree and put Wang Renze under house arrest at home.
