peasant queen

Chapter 167
But the generals under General Xiao are still loyal to the Xiao family.

After learning that Chu Yan was the grandson of General Xiao, everyone took refuge in Chu Yan without hesitation.

And it was precisely for this reason that the emperor was worried about the Xiao family and wiped out all the generals of the Xiao family who joined the army.

Only the sick Xiao Congran and two three or four-year-old boys were left behind.

In the study of the grand master's mansion in the capital, the letter in Chen Taishi's hand slapped on the desk and cursed: "A bunch of trash, even a peasant girl can't kill them, and they all claim to be masters.

"Come on, send me some more people. We must kill Chu Yan and that woman named Jiang Wan."

A black shadow outside the door replied: "Yes!"

"Father, we don't need to be in such a hurry to kill them. We just need to put the sixth prince on the throne, and then order the two of them to go to Beijing. At that time, we can do whatever we want them to die."

"No, it will take a long time for the sixth prince to ascend the throne.

That old guy Zhaoping has been refusing to write a call for abdication, and Yuxi has been hidden somewhere.Before getting these things, the sixth prince will not be able to ascend the throne for the time being.

Besides, I still don't know if the sixth prince is obedient.

Don't be like the second prince, thinking of crossing the river and demolishing bridges as soon as you have some power in your hands. " Grand Master Chen refused.

Speaking of the second prince, both father and son were silent.

It is also a pity to abandon the second prince and the others.But what they want is not an emperor with his own opinion, but an emperor who is obedient and has no opinion.

Therefore, the second prince is doomed to be abandoned.

The second prince, Chu Ning, who lives in the palace, seems to be a different person since he fell off the horse.

My temper gets worse day by day, and I throw things at every turn.He often beat and scolded his servants, and he was no longer the gentle and polite person he was before.

Several even lost their lives because of it.

Now the servants in his palace are trembling every day, for fear that they will offend their master.

Chuning also knew that his state of mind was wrong recently, but he was useless now.He knew that his actions were wrong, but he didn't want to change.

He has been abandoned by his mother and grandfather, and has no chance for the throne.How could he calm down and plan slowly.

He is now in the palace every day, either getting drunk or beating people up.

It seemed like he had nothing else to do.An eunuch who grew up with him beside him felt very sad to see his master so self-destructive.

He stepped forward to pick up the wine jar that Chu Ning threw on the ground and said, "My lord, you can't give up on yourself like this."

"Can't give up on myself? Then what should I do? Now, everyone has given up on me. Even my counselors have run away, what else can I do?" Chuning said with a "squeak".

"But my lord, even if everyone abandons you, you can't ignore your body!
Even if you can't be an emperor, at least you can be an idle prince and live a rich life. "The eunuch stepped forward to help Chuning who was sitting on the ground and said.

"Prince? Who cares about being a prince.

You said, I was just one step away from the throne.Now, you want me to be a prince and let others ride on my head and dictate? "

"But my lord, at least you saved your life.

The slave knows that you are not reconciled, but so what if you are not reconciled.

Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your little master.The little master is only three years old, do you have the heart to watch him being killed? "

After hearing the eunuch's words, Chuning stopped talking.

Thinking of her lovely son and her newly pregnant concubine, Chuning hesitated.

He was not reconciled, not reconciled to giving up the throne like this.

Not reconciled to his mother and grandfather giving up on him like this, what did he do wrong?Is it because you don't listen to them?

Chu Ning couldn't figure out what kind of grandfather was like, he was also a businessman from the East, why they could ignore human life without changing his face.Those are soldiers and civilians of Dongshang!

Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and they gave up as soon as they said they would give up.

They could care less, but he couldn't.

But it's useless to say anything now, I am the one who was given up by them.He also has no ability to save those hundreds of thousands of lives.

He has no ability to save the tens of thousands of people in the northwest, but he can still save the lives of more than 10 people in the palace.

Especially the princess and son, their mother and son are his most important people.He can't let anything happen to them.

Thinking of this, Chuning threw out the wine jar in his hand.

Yes, he still has a son, and he wants to create a world for his son.

Chu Ning staggered towards the backyard, when the eunuch saw this, he quickly handed over the work to others, and stepped forward to support the prince himself.

That night, Chu Ning had a good sleep in Wangfei's room.

The next day, he asked the princess to send a letter to her family.Apart from Chuning herself, not even the princess knew the content of the letter.

After that, Chuning fell silent.

Admiring flowers and reciting poems in the palace every day, and occasionally playing chess with the princess, life is extremely leisurely.

The people who watched him from the outside world couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the second prince really gave up?Didn't you look unwilling before and get drunk at home?
How could it only take a few days to just accept the fact that I failed?
Grand Master Chen also received news from the second prince's mansion, but he didn't take it seriously.

He knew that the second prince was capable, but he had no one in his hands.No matter how powerful he is, as long as he keeps an eye on the people around him, he won't be able to get over the big waves.

Apart from the Grand Master's Mansion, the Liang Mansion in the capital is very lively.

The second prince was no longer destined for the throne, and the third prince born to Concubine Shu would have a chance.

Before, because there was the second prince standing in front of him, and the Grand Master's Mansion was too powerful, Mr. Liang, as Prime Minister of the Right, had no way of contending with the Grand Master.

Now, the second prince has lost his qualification to compete for the throne with a broken leg.

If the grand master wants to help the sixth prince to take the stage, it also depends on the permission of the princes in front of him.

Therefore, the Liang Mansion joined forces with the Lu family of the Taiwei Mansion to deal with the Taishi Mansion together.

The two exchanged frequent letters, and even in private, the relationship between the third prince and the eighth prince has improved a lot.No longer like before, the two ignored each other.

The grand master sneered at this, but those two old bastards who were overwhelmed wanted to fight with him?
For the time being, let them dance for a while, and then meet them again after I take back the military power.I have received a letter from my master, and after a while, their plan will be completed.

When he finished his plan, these people would be useless.When the time comes, send them all to see Hades.

Grand Master Chen thought while burning the letter in his hand.

The situation in the capital has undergone some changes due to the joining of Prime Minister Liang and Taiwei Lu, but the situation has become more and more tense.

More and more officials in the capital were implicated. Every day, officials were dismissed and their homes were ransacked.

For a while, people in the capital panicked.

Even the people in the capital dare not go to the streets casually, let alone talk about the affairs of the court casually.For fear of being heard by the government or the imperial forest army, they will be beheaded or thrown into prison.

Concubine De, who had been in the cold palace all this time, shook her head secretly when Wu Yin told her about the situation outside the palace.
