"Lord, Lord..." Beitang Ruichen is listening to his subordinates' war report in his study. When he learns the result, he is in a very low mood, even unwilling.
At this time, Hu Ying, the princess of Xilei Kingdom, knocked on the door and called out in a panic outside the study.
After hearing Hu Ying's voice, the two officials immediately looked at Beitang Ruichen, as if they were asking whether he had leaked the news or not.
Beitang Ruichen knew what they were worried about, so he calmed down and said, "let's go back first. I'll let Black Hawk escort you to go back through the back door. Today's matter should be unknown to the two adults. If the ninth younger brother is going to ask his father to join us in the court one day, the two adults must not intercede, or else they will take advantage of the ninth younger brother's personality, I'm not going to give up. "
Talking about Junhao in Beitang, the two adults did not dare to stay for a long time. They immediately stood up and said goodbye. They just wanted to leave here and go back to their home soon, so that they would not be missed.
After the door of the study was opened, the two adults put on black cloaks. The wide hats attached to the cloaks covered their faces very tightly. They saluted and crossed Hu Ying. Hu Ying didn't see their faces clearly.
Of course, this is not the reason why Hu Ying has no mind to pay attention to these.
Step over the door of the study and immediately close the door to death for fear that someone will come in and disturb their conversation, or that someone will hear something they shouldn't hear.
"The princess looks so flustered. What's the matter?" North Hall Rui morning lazy ground asks a way.
Hu Ying thought that her husband didn't know what happened in Jingzhou, so she immediately told her, "Lord, something's wrong. That... That... Something happened in Jingzhou. All our people have been exposed, and they have all... Surrendered to Tang Junhao... What should we do now?"
Beitang Ruichen coughed two times. He took the cool tea on the table and drank it. After passing the breath, Fang youyou said, "what's the matter with the king and the princess?"
Hu Ying did not understand, "how can it have nothing to do with it?"
Hu Ying continued to serve hot tea for her husband, and asked in a puzzled way: "Lord Yi's people are desperate to surrender, almost all of them are destroyed, but almost all of our people surrender. What if Lord Zhan takes them to join him
"Oh..." North Hall Rui morning sneer, relative to his wife's uneasiness, he seems broad-minded ah, "mediocre!"
Hu Ying doesn't understand that she didn't want to marry Beitang Ruichen, but the fourth prince, Beitang Mochen. Later, she changed her mind and offered to marry him.
It doesn't matter who Beitang Ruichen marries, because in his heart, women are just chess pieces. But if his fourth brother Beitang Mochen marries, he will never agree, because Zuxun says that foreign women can't be appointed empress.
If the fourth brother married Hu Ying as his wife, he would have lost the right of succession to the throne. He would never allow such a thing to happen to the fourth brother.
Therefore, he designed Hu Ying to show his love to her consciously or unconsciously. At the same time, he pursued her. Later, Hu Ying fell in love with her, but he refused Hu Ying on the ground that she was weak and ill and died soon.
Most of all, Hu Ying proposed to her father that she would never marry unless she married Beitang Ruichen.
For this matter, he once had a dispute with his father in the lobby, and threatened that his father would not marry him. Finally, he ordered them to marry him.
When they get married, Hu Ying is obedient to Beitang Ruichen, and even manages some unknown things for him under his intentional or unintentional hints.
So that outsiders see a false image, that is, Prince Rui is afraid of the inside, and his wife Hu yingbiao is fierce and powerful, which makes Prince Rui have no side princess and concubine. In addition, they have no children since they got married, which inevitably makes people feel that Prince Rui was forced to marry the princess.
Because the feeling of Beitang Ruichen is that he is always sick. He just likes reading books and raising flowers and plants when he has nothing to do. Even Shangchao can't stand for a long time because of his discomfort. He doesn't appear in the court all the year round.
Although it is a fact that the body wins the weak, it is impossible not to care about the affairs of the government.
From his memory, the fourth brother often accompanied him. Except that the fourth brother would bring the books taught by the master every day to teach him, and would collect all kinds of poems and odes to read with him, no other elder brother or younger brother had ever seen him. Even if he came, it was mostly because their mother's concubine came to sneer at her, which made her heartbroken again and again.
He didn't know when he would be patient, learn to hide, learn to protect himself, and learn how to kill with a knife.
Over the years, Zisi has been far away from the Imperial Palace and Kyoto because he can't stand the pressure of Yufei to fight for the throne and to win over the ministers of the imperial court.
Seven years, four elder brother has not come back for seven years, he vowed, he will hold the throne for four elder brother, except four elder brother, no one is qualified to sit that position.
The elder brother is indifferent, the second brother is indifferent, the third brother is brave but not resourceful, and the fourth brother is kind-hearted. He is too soft hearted to see his brothers fratricidal. The sixth brother is not good at his tricks. He colludes with the enemy country to buy and sell his own people. He has a bad character. The seventh brother is mediocre and has no opinion. He is greedy for pleasure. Although the eighth brother is his own son, he is addicted to martial arts, As for jiudi
Thinking about the youngest brother, Beitang Ruichen is the most contradictory. Since he was a child, jiudi was gifted and learned faster than others. Unfortunately, he was always silent and didn't play cards according to the rules. Sometimes he behaved perversely, sometimes he was cruel, but sometimes he was affectionate and righteous.
In fact, Beitang Ruichen knows very well that his ninth younger brother is not a cold-blooded and merciless person, but a person who knows how to cherish feelings most.
When he was seven years old, he was accepted by tianjianzong as a student of entering a family and focused on training. But later, I don't know why, he worshipped the king of medicine. In the same year, he was bedridden for a long time. Fortunately, he was rescued by the king of medicine. Now there is no fear of him.
But at that time, he didn't know it. Later, he thought that he was a fool. He only wanted to take the throne for his fourth brother and hurt some people who shouldn't be hurt. Finally, when he found out that he had done wrong, he couldn't turn back.
He did take part in the ambush attack five years ago, but most of the people he sent out were people Hu Ying brought from Xilei kingdom. Hu Ying finally got the poison from her mother and concubine, which made her suffer a lot.
But unexpectedly, he sent out 100 killers, and he was deeply poisoned, so he didn't kill them in a good attack.
For this reason, the North Hall Rui morning is convergence up, no longer have any action, so as not to show the horse's feet, when the fire.
Just one month after jiudi was attacked and returned to Beijing, he received a "big gift". There were 20 coffins in front of ruiwang's house. In each coffin, there was a corpse who was dressed in a tight black dress and separated by five horses.
When he saw these bodies, Beitang Ruichen understood that his nine younger brothers knew about them, but these bodies were a warning to him, and might also be his fate.
That day, Hu Ying was scared, but he sat in his study for a day. Finally, he laughed, and even ordered his servants to prepare a lot of wine and get drunk.
At that moment, I'm afraid only he understood that jiudi was severing the relationship with him, and he would not treat him as a brother from now on.
From that day on, he didn't think about anything else. He just focused on taking the throne for his fourth brother.
To this end, he joined hands with the sixth younger brother to secretly plan the next fight to eradicate the ninth younger brother, who is most likely to become the heir to the throne.
He admits that he no longer has the heart, whether it is his wife or his younger brother who once chose another school as his teacher in order to save himself, he can push out to die without hesitation.
