Chapter 454

However, Emperor Qingming didn't seem to have heard his words at all, just said to himself——

"My business is going well, but it's a pity that the fourth brother's plan to poison the Empress Dowager didn't come true... After the fourth brother returned to Dianzhou this time, I don't know whether he would bother to explain the failure of the plan to the king of Dongwu, and think it could provoke the king of Yan to rebel against me as soon as possible?"

The king of Xiang suddenly became stiff and his face faded.

"Emperor... Brother..." he raised his head in surprise and fear: "... What does brother mean by this?"

"What do you mean?" emperor Qingming smiled and looked straight into the eyes of the king of Xiang. In his voice, he tried to restrain his coldness: "Li Ji, show my fourth brother something so that he can recall it well..."

Li Ji answered and came to the king of Xiang with the bamboo tube in his hand.

"Please have a look."

When the king of Xiang saw the bamboo tube, he felt in a trance that he was suddenly on the edge of the abyss. If he moved a little unstable under his feet, he would fall into irreparable disaster.

He took the bamboo tube calmly, took out the letter paper and unfolded it

When I saw the visible Brown handwriting, it seemed as if a thunder exploded in my mind - this... How could it be?!

The secret letter is strange enough to reach the Emperor

He was not completely unprepared

But how could this half of the handwriting that should have gone be seen through and found?!

At this moment, he had no time to think too much.

"Plop!"

The king of Xiang suddenly knelt down, the letter paper was still pressed under his palm, and the bamboo tube had fallen and rolled away: "brother Huang, I don't know what's going on with this letter!... my brother has never written this letter! It must be someone... Someone imitated my brother's handwriting and wanted to deliberately frame and slander my brother!"

"Imitate?" emperor Qingming sneered, "collapse?"

Holding the Dragon case in his hands, he slowly stood up and said, "at present, you still want to play with me?"

"Brother Huang, I'm really not a minister..."

When the king of Xiang wanted to go on, Emperor Qingming grabbed a pile of memorials at hand and threw them out.

The memorials were scattered under the imperial steps, and the king of Hunan looked at them with trembling.

"These are the memorials you personally wrote to me in recent years due to the war with Dongwu... Dongwu invades and causes trouble. You can't bear it. You need military funds and food..."

Emperor Qingming's voice was so cold that he almost clenched his teeth and said, "you might as well tell me how much you used and how much you kept! Will these things I allocated one day break through my city gate, force into my palace and become a sharp sword around my neck?"

"I should have noticed something strange. It was only because of you that I was so careless and negligent... Only if you repeatedly beat back Dongwu, you can't do nothing and deserve my attention!"

The king of Xiang, who was crawling on the ground, shook his head with a white face, cold sweat and tears, and his voice was afraid and sad——

"The emperor's words... Are tantamount to killing his younger brother! His loyalty to the emperor has never changed more than half... Can't the emperor really see it from childhood to adulthood? If the emperor believes that he has wrongly trusted his younger brother and wants to take his life because of others' instigation of estrangement, the only way for him to die is to make him feel at ease! But if you want him to admit what he has never done, I will never do it I can't! "

After hearing these sincere words, Emperor Qingming suddenly laughed.

"I really underestimated you in the past. I didn't expect that my fourth brother, who always wrote his likes and dislikes on his face, was so good at acting and pretending... How many things do you have that I don't know?"

"My younger brother dares to swear to heaven that he has never betrayed the emperor's brother. If this statement is false, dare to call heaven beating and thunder splitting!"

The sky is beating and the thunder is splitting

Li Ji took a silent look at emperor Qingming.

Nothing. I just suddenly thought of the thunder splitting Fengtian Hall

So, your highness, is this an oath, or is it an intention of the emperor?

At this time, an internal supervisor quietly came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Han Tongling asked for an audience outside and said he had something to report."

Emperor Qingming still stood there with his hands supporting the Dragon case: "let him in."

The internal prison retreated silently and passed on.

Han Yan came in and saluted: "I inform your majesty that my subordinates found a carrier pigeon outside the Hunan palace. Here is the secret letter. Please have a look."

secret letter?!

The Xiang king, who knelt down there, set off waves again.

The internal supervisor soon presented the things to Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming looked at it and threw it on the Dragon case. Although his tone was ironic, his eyes were extremely cold: "I dare say that you didn't write the letter. Your secret stake hasn't received the letter and has been urged to come to your house... Fourth brother, the secret stake you raised is also cautious, but I don't know how much you have raised inside and outside the capital. Why don't you say it to open my eyes?"

The king of Xiang was sweating like rain: "... Brother Huang, this must be a part of the other party's plan. It's the king of Yan... He must want to frame his younger brother!"

"Enough! Do you really think I'm a fool!" emperor Qingming suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily.

Cold sweat dripped on the gold brick in front of him. The king of Hunan saw his face full of fear and confusion through the bright gold brick.

He closed his eyes slowly, and the sweat soaked into the trembling eyelashes spread and spread, causing pain in his eyes.

At this moment, his brain was buzzing violently, and from this buzzing, he had clearly seen his end.

The end without turning around

Carrier pigeons have been intercepted by the wanted guard

It must be that he is not a clean house and will soon be turned upside down

no

Not even at all.

From the moment the secret letter he sent out appeared in the emperor's hand, the result was doomed.

His royal brother can even kill people around him just because he doesn't exist, not to mention now

"Haven't I given you enough over the years?" emperor Qingming asked, "stop... You are the only person I can trust!"

"Here?"

Xiang King Zhang opened his red eyes and slowly raised his head. There was no fear and cowardice on his face. There was even some ridicule on his embarrassed face: "brother Huang, why do you think I will gladly accept your charity and be willing to be a watchdog for you all my life?"

Then he suddenly smiled, and his crawling upper body gradually straightened up: "if you can really see it, you won't say... But what is Daqing now? Can you really see it clearly? Do you know how the people secretly spit on you, the so-called benevolent king, outside the capital?

I just don't want to deceive myself and others with you and wait to die! The current situation is the only way to save myself! "

This is recognition!
