Chapter 1099 Chapter 1099: Palace Change (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]
Wu Xian, an old man, has a certain destiny to restrain his children.
Before the war between the two countries, the two legitimate sons died in palace coups.
The winner was initially determined, and two more sons died due to palace changes.
The second son is Wu Xian’s youngest son and fifth son.
At the beginning, the Fifth Young Master’s death was still two days late.
As a rebellious traitor who leads troops to attack the palace at night, even if he is of Wu Xian's blood, he will inevitably end up exterminating his family. Killing him will not bear any tainted reputation at all. It was this younger brother that the Fourth Young Master was wary of from the beginning! The other party really took the bait!
The two sides fought fiercely and bloodyly. The fifth young master did not expect that there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon next to the fourth son. As the casualties increased, all our own elites were slaughtered, and corpses were piled up and down the long palace road. As the mastermind of this palace coup, he was also captured alive and sent to see the fourth child.
"Fourth brother? It's you! It's you! You traitor!" When the two brothers met, the fifth brother took the lead, with a sinister look like a jackal. If no one suppressed him, he would pounce on his prey in the next second and bite the opponent in one bite. Neck, "I usually look quiet and won't bite, but I didn't expect that there is also cunning hidden in my bones, which is in the same vein as your seductive mother. Now I really can't pretend anymore, and my true nature has been exposed, right? How dare you today If you kill me, you, this little son of a bitch, will be ruined in the future!"
Being slapped on the head and humiliated, the fair and harmless face of the fourth child was instantly turned into ashes. He and Lao Wu are the worst of the brothers, and their hatred has been brewing since childhood.
The two were close in age and both were born as concubines. The fifth child had a maternal clan, while the fourth child became Wu Xian's most valued son after his legitimate son because the son was more valuable than his mother. He kept his birthday in mind every year.
Other brothers and sisters celebrate their birthdays. Wu Xian, the father, either doesn't remember the date, or he remembers the date and just picks a gift from the storehouse and sends it away. Only the children born to the Mi family will be selected and prepared by Wu Xian himself. In addition to the most basic rewards, he will also go hunting in advance. Prepare whatever you get for your children, such as rabbit skins, fox skins, or even tiger skin boots, cloaks, and fur coats. It's not expensive, but it still makes all the brothers jealous.
Lao Wu’s birthday was close to his, so he was treated like this twice.
One of them was the result of Lao Si’s mistake.
The feud between the two brothers was completely over.
Lao Wu's biological mother was not as favored as Mi, and Lao Wu himself was not as favored by Wu Xian as Lao Si. He was a head shorter than Lao Si. In order to win back the victory, he used Mi's background as a dancer to criticize Lao Si. Lao Si’s obsession with “collapse” partly has something to do with Lao Wu. The two brothers had long lost their shame. As soon as the fifth brother finished scolding him, he was kicked hard in the chest and back by the fourth brother.
The fifth young master was kicked and knocked upside down.
The body rolled three or four times before stopping.
He was staring at stars before he could calm down, and boots mixed with the smell of earth and fresh blood stepped on his temples. The Fourth Young Master looked at his old enemy who was being trampled under his feet, and the evil thoughts surging in his heart came out more quickly: "No matter how much you can't spit out ivory from your mouth, if you offend my mother, I will cut off your tongue! What are you talking about, you little son of a bitch?" , Haha, laugh out loud! I am the daughter of a little mother, aren’t you the daughter of a little mother? Isn’t your mother also a concubine? Is she the royal wife of some famous matchmaker? What about the ladies of the world? What about the noble daughter of the aristocratic family? What else? Instead of being a concubine, all the children are concubines? Why are you calling me a little mother-in-law? How can you, a little mother-in-law, act like the heir apparent to me?"
The hatred accumulated over the years is stored in the soles of my feet.
Swept away the gentle temperament inherent in the harmless skin, he crushed Lao Wu's head with his boot, enjoying the other's embarrassment like a lost dog and the resentment in his eyes. After spitting out these words, the Fourth Young Master was forced back to his senses, which was about to lose control.
Kicked Lao Wu’s head away.
He withdrew his strength, which at most made Lao Wu dizzy and nauseated to the point of vomiting.
"... I will save your life today, so that you can see your head become my stepping stone!" The Fourth Young Master also knew that he would not be able to convince the public if he ascended the throne, and the sudden death of the youngest would also become a hidden danger, and he would not be able to expose it to the outside world. It's easy to explain, but I don't want Lao Wu to be so impatient that he will be killed that night! Not only did he die, but he also took the blame for the youngest’s death! At the court meeting tomorrow, he could blame Lao Wu for the youngest's death, saying that Lao Wu rebelled against his superiors and led troops to break into the inner court late at night to persecute the youngest mother and son.
The youngest who was supposed to accept the Zen position died.
Lao Wu once again took the blame for the death of the youngest.
You are the most suitable candidate.
His mother is the head of the harem, and he is the most favored among Wu Xiancheng's children. Even if he cannot ascend to the position of ruler in one go, he can still be in charge! The other women in the harem and their heirs were controlled by A Niang again, and the overall situation was decided!
The Fourth Young Master tried his best to calm down his excited and swollen mind.
“Have you contacted all the ministers from the previous dynasty that you can contact?”
“The contact is ready.”
"That's good."
The fourth prince also has his own power in the court.
Especially after the eldest son and the second son died in palace accidents one after another, he secretly benefited a lot. These connections can work together to support and defend him tomorrow and make the final decision! At this time, the Fifth Young Master, who was almost kicked out and suffered a concussion, burst out with wanton ridicule.
“What are you laughing at?” Since Lao Wu was about to be blamed by him, he didn’t argue with him. “Let’s talk about it.”
"Do you think your father really values you?" When the Fifth Young Master said this, the blood dripping from the wound on his forehead couldn't suppress the sarcasm at the corner of his eyes and brows, "Wake up, Wu Ji's son just can't get on the stage. He usually talks to Hello, I'm just treating you like a despicable thing like your mother. If I'm happy, I'll pamper you. If I'm unhappy, I'll kick you aside. Who cares whether you live or die?"
Speaking of his father's favor, the fourth child is well-deserved.
"You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? Or did I step on it too hard just now and something went wrong?" Old Four murmured in his mouth. He didn't mind the blood and put the back of his hand against Old Five's forehead. "He did something wrong with me." It’s just pampering, what does it mean to you?”
The kind of puppy you chase and get kicked away again and again?
The last sentence was not spoken, but the eyes said everything.
Lao Wu not only failed to break his defense, but actually laughed even more wildly. When Lao Si approached in confusion, the blood foam accumulated in his mouth sprayed in his face. The Fourth Young Master has been at odds with him for many years. If he knows the other party well, he knows even better where his own body is, and he has been on guard for a long time.
This mouthful of blood foam was vomited out.
The Fourth Young Master tutted and said, "It's a vulgar way to behave."
Lao Wu knew that he could not save himself, and if he asked for mercy, he would only be ridiculed and laughed at. But even if he died, he would not be able to see a **** like Lao Si be proud of himself. He opened his mouth full of blood and said with a strange smile: "Haha, the youngest person's Zen edict is fake!"
The confidant who delivered the letter worked desperately to deliver the truth.
The Zen edict written by Wu Xian was for the fifth son.
Shen Tang is still evil, so how could he want to see that the new master of the Gao Kingdom is Wu Xian's adult son? No matter what the son's ability is, adulthood means that he can govern himself, which is obviously not conducive to the interests of Kang State. So Shen Youli replaced the real edict.
The Zen edict was written to the youngest son who was only six months old.
Wu Xian did not give up his resistance even after being imprisoned.
The true Zen edict was sent to his confidants.
Be sure to deliver it before the youngest son takes the throne.
The Fifth Young Master was so excited when he saw the edict that he trembled all over. This meant that the only person his father truly recognized was him. No matter how much he loved the fourth child, he still pinned his hopes on him at critical moments. The Fifth Young Master originally wanted to wait for the court meeting the next day, but took out the edict in public. After discussing with his disciples, he realized that this was inappropriate.
His brothers are restless.
The edict given to the youngest is obviously more in line with the interests of most people.
With the two edicts put together, he has little chance of winning. He may also attract criticism from the state of Kang and be handed over as a scapegoat. It would be better to do everything possible, kill the youngest without stopping, and take the opportunity to destroy the edict. Then, with the edict in hand, he would become the only choice for the officials. The Fifth Young Master's temperament is more like his mother's. He is not as hesitant in his actions as Wu Xian. He just does what he says! At this time, he was glad that he had already placed his own people in the outer court. This impromptu palace coup initially went smoothly until it hit the wall.
It only took five or six hours from the time the Fifth Young Master was put into prison.
After he said that the youngest son’s edict was fake, the fourth child’s face cracked. He lost control and grabbed his collar and growled: “What’s going on?”
The Fifth Young Master frowned: "My father gave me the Zen throne!"
Finally, Laosi found another Zen edict.
Wu Xian wrote the edict with his private seal in his own hand!
The Fourth Young Master stared at the name in the edict, with veins popping out on his forehead and his eyeballs almost protruding from their sockets due to the exertion. He murmured in disbelief: "How could it be you? How could it be you?"
The corners of the Fifth Young Master's lips curled up in sarcasm.
"If it's not me, can it be you? How much my father values his legitimate concubines. The eldest and the second child have had ups and downs in the past few years, but he has never given up on them. How do you think he doesn't care about birth? Yours Is my mother worthy of comparison with my mother?"
The Fourth Young Master clutched the Zen edict tightly.
“Here comes—” The Fifth Young Master knew what would happen.
“Bah!”
Spitted blood in the direction of the fourth child.
He didn't know where the strength came from, twisted his shoulders, broke away from the soldiers who were escorting him, raised his hands to adjust his crown and hat: "The emperor has his own way of dying, and the common people have their own way of dying. You and I were born in the royal family, so naturally we cannot be with each other. Common people are the same. Take the sword!"
No one acted on what the Fifth Young Master said.
He endured waves of dizziness and nausea in his head, and forced himself to provoke the other party: "Or do you want to kill me with your own hands?"
It's not impossible to kill him with your own hands.
However, the reputation is not good.
The children raised by Mi's family are all hypocritical, so I don't think they dare.
The facts were as expected by the Fifth Young Master. After a hard struggle, the fourth child gave up the joy of killing with his own hands and signaled the soldiers to throw him a sword. Lao Wu also used this sword, which was not decorated with precious jade or beads, to kill himself with the horizontal sword. I was just a little afraid of pain, the wound was not deep enough, and I struggled in pain for a while before I was willing to die.
Lao Wu was forced to death, and Mei Jinghe came in after dealing with the tail.
The Fourth Young Master saw her as if he were seeing a spiritual pillar.
He breathed a long sigh of relief: "Sir, you are finally here."
Mei Meng looked at the fifth young master who was dying in pain on the ground.
asked: “Why?”
Didn’t you agree to wait until the court meeting to talk about it?
Lao Si silently handed over the Zen edict, here is the answer.
Mei Meng opened the edict and read the ten lines at a glance.
There was a long silence after that.
Lao Si felt guilty: "Sir, I can't keep him, he can't live, and he asked for death himself..."
Mei Meng didn't say any more words. She just rolled up the edict silently, put it on the candle and burned it cleanly: "It doesn't matter."
Seeing that the edict was burned, the fourth child felt completely at ease.
But the resentment and jealousy in his heart still tormented him.
Lao Wu is dead, but what Lao Wu said still echoes in his mind. The edict must be true, he had no doubt about it, but he was disappointed that his father had really not considered him. The fifth lao was silent and not very capable, but he was able to leave his name in the Zen edict.
This made the fourth child have to come up with an idea -
His father really cared about his mother's background.
The emotion did not last long, and he was soon occupied by the upcoming drama in the court: "Sir, where is the youngest?"
Mei Meng lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts: "Outside."
The shivering wet nurse was kneeling outside the temple with her **** swaddling clothes in her arms.
“Where is the youngest’s mother?”
Mei Mengdao: "I committed suicide by hanging on the beam."
The woman knew she was doomed when she saw the dead end. She hung herself from the beam one step ahead of schedule and ordered the wet nurse to run away with the child. She was caught before she could take more than two steps. Mei Meng didn't take a second look at the child who couldn't cry: "Other places haven't been arranged yet. I'll keep an eye on it. There's still a tough battle to be fought today—"
“With my husband here, I feel at ease.”
Lao Si looked at Mei Meng with eyes full of trust in his relatives.
Mei Meng responded with a gentle and firm smile.
Just turned his head, his smile instantly faded.
The corpses were still piled up and down on the palace road. Mei Meng stepped over them, walking faster and faster, and her eyes became colder. Qi Cang secretly looked at it and wondered: "Why are you not happy?"
Could it be that people are really inferior to God?
Mei Mengdao: "There are two copies of the edict!"
Qi Cang also saw it. He smacked his lips and said, "It's also strange that there are two copies of the Zen edict. Which one is true and which one is false?"
Mei Meng said solemnly: "It's all true."
Qi Cang shouted: "Is Wu Xian sick?"
You want Gao Guo to die faster when you are captured?
Mei Meng shook his head and said: "It definitely means Shen."
Qi Cang thought of his acquaintance with Shen Tang - a pervert like Zheng Qiao was scolded by her to the point of jumping off guard, which proved that she was even sicker than Zheng Qiao! This person is capable of tossing people with two Zen edicts: "Oh, Shen Youli, that's not unusual either."
This is not enough to change Mei Meng's face.
No matter how Shen Youli messed with Gao Guo, she could not affect Mei Meng.
“I still don’t understand why you are angry…”
Mei Mengdao: "How can you guarantee that there will be no third letter?"
Just one sentence knocked Qi Cang down.
“The third letter?”
"Yes, not only the third letter, but also the fourth, fifth, sixth... maybe one letter from each of Wu Xian's sons." Mei Mengyue said, her tone became more solemn, and the more restrained she became, the more she couldn't help it. Think in this direction, "We need to be quick!"
She doesn’t dare to gamble!
Qi Cang had an expression that said, "I can still play like this."
“A letter in each hand...Are you sick?”
The illness is not serious, Zheng Qiao is a gentleman compared with her.
This meeting in Japan is destined to be remembered by the ministers of the Gao Kingdom for the rest of their lives.
The bumps and twists are more wild than wild history!
Seeing the courtiers gathered together, the fifth son, who was always punctual, did not show up to preside over the court meeting. The well-informed courtiers exchanged meaningful glances with each other - the palace change last night was real!
The passers-by arranged by the Fourth Young Master came out to break the deadlock.
It seems that he is speaking for Lao Wu, but in fact he is trying to make a fuss: "Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, has always been punctual. Why don't you send someone to the house to urge you?"
At this time, the fourth child's voice came from outside the palace: "Wang Wuzi made a huge mistake last night and has committed suicide."

Sigh, something is wrong. The cough I have had for more than half a month has not gone away. When I swallow, my throat still hurts like a knife. Even taking medicine does not help.
