Conspiracy

Chapter 526

Far away from Jiangdu, the early summer sun is warming everything.

But the people of Jiangdu are suffering from the unknown horror of death at this moment.

Maybe it's a familiar relative or friend, maybe it's a passerby who passed by unintentionally, they will all turn into a withered scarecrow in an instant, and lose their vitality in an instant.

The torrential rain that lasted more than a month has stopped, but the geological disasters caused by the torrential rain have intensified.

The pouring of mudslides caused landslides, which destroyed countless houses, and countless people were involved in it, making it difficult to survive.

Even though the imperial court sent relief money and food, His Royal Highness personally led officers and soldiers from house to house to find the trapped people.

But with the appearance of more and more scarecrows, the people have lost their trust in the court.

The darker the surroundings, the more disturbed and panicked I felt.

The troublemakers who came from nowhere began to spread rumors.

When Shang Mujing brought Shuya master and servant back to the main city of Jiangdu, he saw ragged people surrounded by the moat outside the city.

They hold aloft torches and carry an assortment of weapons in their hands.Some held hammers, some held shovels, all kinds of things, and some even held thick branches picked up from nowhere.

Among these people, there are old and weak women and children, but they are all at the front, and those with weapons stay behind.

They passionately cursed at the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and the curses continued like waves.

Shang Mujing tied the horse to a tree, and leaned over on the dirt slope.He stared wide-eyed at the situation in front of him, a little stunned.

They only went up the mountain for a short day, how did the people in Jiangdu become like this?

Shuya put her arms around her chest, and said sarcastically: "It seems that the Luoqi court is not doing well! So many officers and soldiers were trapped in the city by a group of mobs."

Shang Yuchen had had enough of her nonsense along the way. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, turned his head away and said, "Our Luoqi army is strong, our country is rich and the people are strong, and this is a prosperous age! It is this damn natural disaster that ruined the peaceful life of the people. !"

"Really? Little prince, you can listen carefully to the cursing voices of the common people, they are all cursing at the imperial court."

"Bullshit! What do you know about movies, you little girl? An official must be able to hear the scolding of the people! But, you must not listen to the cries of the people!"

Shuya's pupils trembled suddenly, and she turned her head slightly, twirling her hair around her temples with her fingers, and smiled sweetly: "The little prince's words are nice, but it's a pity that you noble sons in the prosperous capital, how can you understand the sufferings of the people?" .”

"My king's name is Shang Jie, and the word Mujing is the name my father personally gave me. My father once said that on the day this king was born, the battle at the border was a great victory. My father hoped that the country of Luoqi will be peaceful and the people will be safe. The evening scenery is brilliant. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and will never be disturbed by war. Therefore, I named this king Jie."

Shang Yuchen straightened his waist, his eyes were full of pride and admiration for his father.

Shuya laughed and squatted beside him on the spot, her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity: "I thought you young masters from the capital could only invite cats, walk dogs and tease crickets. A few sour poems."

Shang Mujing didn't say anything: "You little girl, who do you look down on! Although this king has never been on the battlefield, sooner or later he will destroy Xiliang and expand my territory in Luoqi."

"Tsk, you boys and girls are always talking about dominating the world and competing in the Central Plains, but I haven't seen a few of you who can achieve great things."

Although Shang Mujing scoffed at what she said, he didn't refute it.

He has a lot of ambitions, but his writing is not as good as Shang Yuchen, and Wu is slightly inferior to Shang Yici.

The third brother was established as the crown prince when he was born, and he was taught by the Taifu Su Tingye himself, and he also studied under the Marshal Xiao Mohan.His father was extremely strict with him, and made him learn the way of governing the country as a king since he was a child.The queen's mother family is huge and powerful, deeply rooted in the court.And Xiao Chuhong, who has Luo Qi's strongest military force, is best friends with the third brother.Not surprisingly, the throne must be his undoubtedly.

But Qin Wang has always been at odds with them, the elder brother of the imperial concubine holds the military power, and in the court, he is under one person and above ten thousand.Only he can compete with the third brother.

And his mother and concubine are used to Buddhism, and never step out of the palace.The huge imperial palace is like a cage for trapped animals. If he had stayed in the imperial palace, he would have ended up in the same fate as the other princes.

Either there is no body left, or he is framed and confined in Dali Temple for life.

The so-called royal family relationship is nothing more than a joke.

But he had to go back to that magnificent purgatory on earth, because there was still his mother and concubine there.

A hundred years after the father and the emperor, the third brother ascended the throne, thinking of the old relationship, he will definitely not kill him and the mother concubine.

But if Shang Yi is allowed to resign from his position, there will be no room for them in this world.

A chill rose from his back and spread throughout his body.

He touched the somewhat heavy cuffs, and a look of sternness suddenly flashed across his eyes.

"Miss Shuya, I have something to entrust to you." Shang Mujing's tone was a bit heavy.

"Why?" Shuya was a little confused, so, the little prince suddenly treated her so politely, could it be that he wanted to plot against her?

"I have something here, please go back and pass it on to your grandfather."

"Yo? I'm begging Miss Ben now? Didn't you have such a face just now?"

"Miss, please tell the big chieftain that the safety of the people in Jiangdu may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the big chieftain. But if the chieftain is willing to send troops to quell the chaos in Jiangdu, this king will definitely ask the father to reduce the tax in Jiangdu, and the officials will not be allowed at all." Then it is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the chieftains of all parties will elect and appoint, and there will be no hereditary replacement."

Shuya and A Duo were stunned at the same time, Shuya turned her head to look at the people who surrounded the Jiangdu city gate, frowned and said: "As far as I know, the little prince has nothing but the title of prince. Official position, two have no real power, and three have no contacts. Little prince, you want to draw a big cake, and you want to be a white wolf? This idea is too unrealistic."

"This king has no real power, but does the majestic Crown Prince of the East Palace have the right to speak? This is my third brother's personal jade pendant and secret letter. You go back and give it to the chieftain, and he will know it at a glance."

Shuya squinted her eyes with suspicion, took the secret letter and wanted to open it, but Shang Mujing held down her wrist.

A Duo immediately pulled out his dagger and pointed it at Shang Mujing.

Shang Mujing tightened his sword eyebrows: "My third brother said that this secret letter can only be given to the Chieftain."

"You don't believe Miss Ben?"

"If you don't believe me, you won't give it to Miss. It's just that the third brother ordered that this secret letter is written with special herbs, and only the big chieftain can unlock it. Others read it, and it's just a blank sheet of paper."

"If your brother-in-law had already anticipated this scene, how could he let it happen?"
