Chapter 528: Open Fight and Secret Fight
How is the capital at this time? On the surface, it is calm and calm as usual, but something is changing at an uncontrollable pace, and even more violently.
Long Yuanxiu was not in a good mood because of the death of his mother, and he was even more shocked after learning that Zhuang Mingyue was kidnapped, and he looked for many days without a clue, which made Long Yuanxiu very desperate.
He was even so angry that he fainted and couldn't afford to get sick, he not only had to endure the pain of losing his mother every night, but also endured the pain of Zhuang Mingyue being kidnapped, Zhuang Mingyue was by his side comforting him, and he felt better.
Now Zhuang Mingyue is gone, but he can't fall, so many days have passed, Zhuang Mingyue has not been found, indicating that the person who kidnapped her still has some strength.
After a period of adjustment, he has finally returned to his state, so now he has to clean up the king of heaven who deceived her! He secretly summoned a few courtiers who were still in contact after losing his status as the prince to make some connections between him and the court.
He wants to give Long Zhengning a big gift!
Wait for everything to be connected and let him enjoy it, he is not good for Long Zhengning, don't think about being comfortable, even a hundred times more uncomfortable than him!
"Why is it still missing?" There were several old men standing outside Long Yuanxiu's courtyard, and the old man who was questioned had just walked out of the gate of Long Yuanxiu's courtyard, shaking his head and expressing regret.
He said: "The maid in the courtyard said that the prince had been ill for several days, and Lang Zhong also took medicine after seeing it, but it was useless. β
Another old man also said: "I said the same thing the day before yesterday, it seems that the prince is really sick, hey, if I encounter this situation in my family, I must be more serious than the prince." β
"yes, let's go back for now."
"Will the prince regain the position of the prince this time and compete for the throne with His Royal Highness?"
"Thisβit's hard to say, let's wait and see." These are all disciples who originally supported Long Zhengning, but now they want to transfer to Long Yuanxiu's camp, and how they helped Long Yuanxiu to abuse it at the beginning are all in their hearts.
The good tricks they gave Long Zhengning also hurt him so badly.
Although he didn't want to hold on to this, he didn't have the original whereabouts now, even though it was impossible to let go, but he didn't want to deal with them these days.
Long Yuanxiu had been sitting in Zhuang Mingyue's room when they came to visit, looking at every familiar item and only feeling that ten thousand arrows pierced his heart. Everything is still the same as it was, but Zhuang Mingyue has been missing for more than ten days.
Who the hell is it! Who took away his most precious thing.
Caiyun Caixia saw Long Yuanxiu's self-blame and sadness in her eyes, and once persuaded him that Zhuang Mingyue would be sad to see him like this, but Long Yuanxiu became more and more haggard day by day.
They only begged Zhuang Mingyue to find it as soon as possible and let Long Yuanxiu change back to his former self. And Long Yuanxiu never shy away from them, and listened to everything that should be listened to and what should not be heard.
It is true that Long Yuanxiu is sick, and he doesn't want anyone to disturb his deployment strategy.
Long Zhengning!
Long Yuanxiu punched the table, the table trembled a few times, and his eyes were red. Let's settle the new accounts and old accounts together, whether it's you this time or not, you have done a lot of bad things.
Caiyun Caixia couldn't help but tremble when she heard the voice outside the door. Long Yuanxiu had already sent people to contact the old ministry and neutral courtiers in the court, and suppressed the officials of Long Zhengning's camp in the court.
Long Yuanxiu collected a large amount of evidence unfavorable to Long Zhengning, and handed it to the emperor every day without repeating the substitution. The successive things were revealed, and Long Zhengning began to realize that it was Long Yuanxiu who did it.
But so what, in the eyes of the old emperor, not to mention that Zhuang Mingyue has disappeared, if he kidnaps him, the conditions would have been made long ago. In this way, he has no scruples, he only needs to find Zhuang Mingyue in front of Long Zhengning now.
Make a corruption today, make a dereliction of duty tomorrow, and make an affair the day after tomorrow, Long Zhengning's wings in the court have been cut a lot, Long Zhengning has no time to prepare, and a string of people are implicated.
The old emperor knew that Long Yuanxiu was suppressing Long Zhengning, but he just turned a blind eye.
Recently, not only the imperial court, but also the harem has also been a bloody storm.
After the queen revealed her true colors and sentenced several palace maids to death in public, the emperor suddenly appeared, and she was fooled by her.
But within a few days, no one dared to ask for more than forty percent of her murders, and even the palace maids and father-in-law who were poisoned by her went to the palace to visit her.
The emperor knew the queen's temperament, but it was difficult to convince the public if he didn't deal with her, so he punished her to be grounded in the palace, deducted one year of lulu, and fasted and recited Buddha for the deceased for one month.
There was a big purge in the harem, and the minions of each palace were rearranged. Of course, the concubines who are not good friends with the queen are happy, not only suppressing the queen but also uprooting the people who deliver the news to her ears and eyes, can they not be happy?
Of course, this is all the credit of Long Yuanxiu, he doesn't care how much the queen resents him. Most of the mother's deaths were caused by the queen, but can the grounding be exchanged for his mother's life? That's not enough!
The emperor also granted amnesty to death row prisoners and palace maids, which won the praise of the people, and the emperor knew that it was difficult to calm his anger if he did not do something, and this matter seemed to have been known by many people.
At this time, the best way is to do something bigger, to keep this matter down, and the royal face cannot be lost. The queen really angered the emperor, and she was not allowed to go out of the palace without the emperor's summons, and she never went to the queen's palace after being grounded.
The queen's food is getting worse day by day, and even the palace maids are no longer as afraid of her as before.
"It's against you! I'm still the queen, I'm just grounded and not beaten into the cold palace! You who see the wind and rudder. β
"I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to call the shots here!"
The queen lost her temper every day in the palace, threw things, and was almost crazy.
The concubines who did not agree with her laughed crookedly when they heard this movement in their own palace.
Several concubines also contributed extra in the purge, and Long Yuanxiu helped them with such a big favor, so they couldn't thank him well.
Inform Long Yuanxiu of all the suspicions and people who know that it is the queen's ears and eyes, and Long Yuanxiu will find a relationship to clear out the palace. The queen can be said to be isolated in the harem, and Long Zhengning has no time to take care of her.
Long Zhengning was so busy with the waves of things that he was anxious, "You go back and tell the queen that I have a mountain of things here, and as soon as I solve this matter, I will immediately go and plead with my father for her." β
As soon as he sent away the people sent by the queen on the front foot, the news of his henchman being imprisoned came on the back foot, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Long Yuan Xiu! Don't blame me for being unrighteous if you're unkind! Long Zhengning clenched his fists, his face was hideous, and he couldn't wait to tear Long Yuanxiu apart. At this time, Zhuang Mingyue disappeared.
Now Long Zhengning no longer loves Zhuang Mingyue, but because he has a lot of desire, and his desire to dominate the world is getting stronger and stronger.
"Long Yuanxiu, do you think I'll stop this way? Am I going to give up? You're wrong, very wrong! Long Zhengning, who was in his courtyard, looked up to the sky and roared.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lord, you can eat something, you only ate some porridge yesterday. It's going to be very uncomfortable for you to see a young lady like this. Caiyun stood in front of Long Yuanxiu's door with a plate, feeling sorry for this poor pair.
Long Yuanxiu's sighing voice came from inside the door, he straightened up from the table and rubbed his dry eyes, watching the bright sky outside blow out the oil lamp. After putting away the map on the table, he opened the door, and the colorful clouds outside the door waited for a long time.
Caiyun was pleasantly surprised, and every time he mentioned Zhuang Mingyue, Long Yuanxiu would barely eat a little. Recently, Long Yuanxiu has been digging pits for Long Zhengning, digging day and night, he just doesn't want to give Long Zhengning a good time.
It's not that he didn't report that the time had not come, in the past, in the face of Long Zhengning's provocation, he just defused it if he could, and sacrificed something if he couldn't. His anger looked at him, and Long Zhengning couldn't catch it!
Long Yuanxiu took a small bite of the food and said, "Has Long Zhengning made any moves recently?" He called him by his first name, and there was nothing for him to shy away from.
The court and the court are fighting each other in private.
"Lord Wang, he has been busy dealing with the people around him recently, and he didn't even bother with her when the queen asked him for help." A man in black knelt silently beside him.
Long Yuanxiu nodded lightly: "Well, go down and keep staring." The man in black disappeared again. After eating a few bites, Long Yuanxiu felt that there was something in his heart and mouth, and he couldn't swallow it.
Long Zhengning was writing a letter at the moment, gritting his teeth and distorting his face while writing, and after writing the pen, he threw it and ordered: "Hurry up and send it to your old friend, without delay." He winked at the man at the door, who nodded shallowly.
A day later, he went to court.
"Report, the border is urgent!" A hurried shout disturbed the peace of the court. The old emperor sat up straight and looked at him, "Since it's urgent, then read it directly, and you don't have to submit it." β
After the reporter finished reading, there was a sound of discussion in the court.
At the same time, where Long Yuanxiu was, Long Yuanxiu was looking at the book that Zhuang Mingyue had read before, and a figure fell to the ground. "Lord Yu, there is an urgent report from the border pass, and several countries bordering the Tiansheng Dynasty are attacking at the same time, harassing the people in the border gate."
Long Yuan's fingers as he practiced the book tapped the book bone, thoughtfully. "Get to the bottom of it." The man departed. Long Yuanxiu put down the book and stood up and looked at the trees in the yard, at this time, he started to sit still Long Zhengning.
Ninety percent of him must have been a ghost by Long Zhengning, and Long Zhengning couldn't hold his breath. Long Yuanxiu smiled sarcastically, "That's all you can do?" Did I overestimate you Long Zhengning, my good brother. β
Within a few days of this incident, a rumor began to spread in the capital.
Caixia went out to buy things and came back, so she hurriedly came to Long Yuanxiu and said: "Lord Wang, in the past few days, everyone in the capital has been saying that Nanliang is coming to attack our Celestial Empire, and I have met several people on the street today who want to pack up their belongings and prepare to settle down elsewhere." β
"It's unfounded, you can rest assured, you young ladies haven't found us, and we can't go anywhere." Long Zhengning's mood has stabilized a lot and calmed down.
This rumor is estimated to have been stirred up by Long Zhengning again.
