Gui Yuan

Chapter 63 The New King

Sun Yin called several guards over, pointed at Sun Xuan and said, "Take him down."

Sun Xuan raised his head and glanced at him, with an unclear look in his eyes.

Sun Yin walked up to him and said: "If you are a brother, I will give you a grace to prevent your death from being too painful. You can choose a way to kill yourself."

What he said was a bit of an imperial grace.

Sun Xuan was dragged by the guards to get up from the ground, and he bowed to Sun Yin with his fists in his hands: "Thank you, Brother Wang."

Before he stepped back, he glanced at Sun Yin meaningfully.

After finally getting rid of his confidant's troubles, Sun Yin felt refreshed immediately. He took the newly added hot tea from the palace servants and sat down while drinking slowly while waiting for the news from the guards. After all, he had to confirm that the person was dead before he could truly feel at ease. .

Soon, a small guard came hurriedly from the corner, and knelt down in front of him, Sun Yin frowned and asked, "Why are you in such a panic, is he dead?"

"No, no." The little guard was afraid that he would get angry, but the situation was urgent and he had to report, so he closed his eyes and bowed his head, "Yes, someone came to stop us and rescued His Highness."

Sun Yin dropped the teacup in his hand, kicked the guard hard, and said angrily: "Useless thing, the person who was finally caught was let go by you slaves? Are so many of you What to eat!"

The little guard gave him a terrified look, hugged his feet and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, the most urgent thing is to lead people to evacuate as soon as possible. There are 30 to [-] people who came to save people, and the others are in a stalemate with them, but I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it for long, the king should go out through the side door as soon as possible and go back to the palace."

"What? It's not enough for them to save people, what do you think..." Sun Yin got more and more confused, panicked, and hurriedly said, "Escort, escort, hurry back to the palace."

Sun Yin got on the sedan chair in a hurry, his mind was still active, he thought of Wei Yao, and said to the palace man next to him: "Go to the other courtyard to find Wei Yao, and ask him to quickly bring someone into the palace to escort him. Thanks a lot!"

"Yes."

The palace man got the order to go away, and Sun Yin couldn't calm down in his heart.

He was worried and frightened all the way, but fortunately nothing happened in the end and he returned to the palace safely.The moment he entered the dormitory, he looked up, and the breath he was about to let loose was hanging half-hanging on his chest, his eyes staring at the uninvited guest in front of him in horror.

"You, why are you here?" Sun Yin thought about it, and understood, "The guard was bribed by you to trick me back to the palace on purpose?"

Mu Jing found a chair and sat down, squinted at him, and said with a smile, "This is called catching a turtle in a jar."

"Bold, come here!" Sun Yin called out, but at some point, the door of the palace was closed.

"Save your energy, the inner and outer halls of this hall are all arranged, and no one will come in without the orders of the orphans."

Sun Yin was so angry that he could not speak. He pointed at him and shook for a long time before saying: "You led people into the Nanman palace and surrounded the lonely bedroom. What do you want to do! Dead? It’s in vain that the late king trusted you so much. Who would have thought that you were a wolf, and the late king came here not long after he passed away. You want to annex the Nanman!”

Mu Jing sneered and looked at him: "Do you still have the face to be with Gu Ti Xian Wang?"

Sun Yin felt a little guilty when he saw this, but after thinking about it, he couldn't weaken his momentum.

While they were in a stalemate, there was a sound at the door, and the palace door opened. Wei Yao came in and said, "What's wrong with Nanman King?"

Sun Yin gained confidence all of a sudden, walked up to Wei Yao and said, "The general is here, so Gu can feel at ease."

"The king of Dongyi led troops into the palace, and wanted to be unkind to Gu. His heart was damnable. Behind the general was Wei, so he had to support Gu. Otherwise, once King Dongyi succeeded, there was no guarantee that he would not threaten Wei in the future!"

After Wei Yao listened, he took a look at Mu Jing and said, "King Dongyi has a sense of propriety, so he probably won't do such a thing to disturb the peace."

Sun Yin stared at him blankly, took a few steps back, pointed at him in disbelief and said, "Are you with them?"

Mu Jing walked up to him with a smile: "Didn't Gu say it? No one will come in without Gu's order."

Sun Yin was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do, but he thought that Mu Jing's commotion was so big that the outside world would soon hear about it. Although those old ministers usually gossiped and didn't give him good looks, they were pedantic after all. Pay attention to the integrity of the name.No matter whether Mu Jing wanted Sun Xuan to ascend the throne or for other purposes, those people definitely would not agree. As long as those courtiers make trouble, he will still have a chance.

His petty thinking has long been seen through, Mu Jing said: "If you think in your heart that those courtiers will come, Gu still advises you not to wishful thinking."

"You, what did you do again?"

"The old officials headed by Xie Chuxuan are loyal to the former king, and they are loyal to you because of the former master's affection. But how you came to the throne, you know it yourself. In the past two years, you have managed Nanman into a mess, and they are not convinced. You, you have been conscientiously supporting your father for the sake of your father's face, what will happen if they know the truth?"

Sun Yin understood, no wonder Mu Jing made things difficult for him recently, and wanted to support Sun Xuan in his position, so he knew something.But how can such a thing be convincing without empirical evidence?

He calmed down: "King Dongyi heard the news from my brother, right? These are all rumors. It was Sun Xuan who was dissatisfied with his father's choice of me and said with resentment in his heart. How can you believe it? How can you listen to him?" Is this what one-sided words are like? It hurts the relationship, but let him reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Mu Jing admired him so much that he didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin. When he was about to die, he still thought of using divorce tricks.

"How could I be so calm without evidence?" Mu Jing said, "Don't think that no one knows what you did."

Sun Yin was a little hesitant, but he shouldn't. After he ascended the throne, he dealt with everyone cleanly. How could there be any evidence?

"Although you killed all the people who handled it at that time, but after all, the imperial doctor was coerced by you and had to do it, but he kept a hand for himself, and sent a copy of his prescription to Sun Xuan. Well, the handwriting matches, and there are bloody handprints on it. You thought that you would be safe and sound by sending someone to kill his whole family, but you didn’t expect him to leave the evidence long ago.”

Now Sun Yin has nothing to argue for himself, so he broke his can and asked, "No matter how this throne came about, now I am the king of Nanman, if you dare to attack me, don't try to silence the people of the world!"

"You don't need to worry about that." Mu Jing called someone over and ordered, "Press him down and kill him."

Seeing the guards pressing on every step of the way, Sun Yin panicked and tried his best to struggle but couldn't escape. He shouted: "Gu is a king, who dares to do it? You are presumptuous and don't let me go! King Dongyi! Uncle, please forgive me!" Ah, at worst, wouldn't it be better for me to take the Zen position automatically?"

"Let him go."

Sun Yin escaped with great difficulty and couldn't care about anything else, so he hugged Mu Jing's thigh: "I still have a few sons under my knees. If I die like this, wouldn't it be unfair for Sun Xuan to be in charge? No, why not?" Said that I was sick, seriously ill, unable to manage government affairs, and thought that the prince was young and could not take on a big job, so I passed the throne to Sun Xuan, so that he would be justified."

Mu Jing and Wei Yao looked at each other, then looked at Sun Yin and said, "You are right."

"That's right." Sun Yin saw that he was a little looser, and hurriedly said, "I can have some Zen books, but uncle must promise not to kill me, so that I can spend the rest of my life in peace."

Mu Jing thought for a while: "My goal has been achieved, and it is useless to kill you. If you are willing to write down the letter of Zen position, and then write a letter of confession, I will save your life."

"Confession?"

"The seat of Zen is for the people, but the courtiers are not stupid. How can we calm down if we don't give them an explanation?"

"Yes, that's right. Uncle is still thoughtful. I'll write it right away."

The palace man took the pen and ink, and Sun Yin hurriedly went to the table and wrote the letter of conferring the title of Zen, and asked someone to put it away, and then wrote a letter of indictment, four or five pages of eloquence, writing all his life's talents, and at the end he was careful Handed it to Mu Jing.

Mu Jing nodded after seeing it, and asked someone to take it out.

"Since that's the case, Gu Nian will spare your life for your father's sake. There is a Zhuangzi outside the city, so you can go there. If you live in peace, you can spend the rest of your life in peace."

"Thank you uncle." Sun Yin bowed to him.

"Go." Mu Jing waved his hand, and a guard came in to lead him. This time, Sun Yin didn't struggle, and followed obediently.

After he left, the hall became quiet all of a sudden, Wei Yao asked: "Your Majesty really wants to do this, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

Mu Jing's complexion eased a little, and he pointed to the chair beside him: "Sit down."

He sat down and took a sip of herbal tea, and said: "The premise of Gu's promise is that he will be quiet, but look, does he seem like a quiet person?"

Wei Yao understood and smiled.

In front of the Xuanwu Hall here, Xie Chuxuan and a few veterans had been arguing for a long time, and Tian Cheng led someone to stop them. Ning Qing tried to persuade them for a long time, thinking that if Wei Yao didn't solve it, he wouldn't be able to deal with these people anymore. .

Fortunately, someone finally came. Ning Qing took the letter and read it, then handed it back to Xie Chuxuan. After reading it, he frowned, and then passed it to several others.

"Nonsense!" Xie Chuxuan cursed, not knowing who he was referring to, and then said, "Today we will turn a blind eye and close one eye, but if this matter cannot be resolved, we will not cover it up!"

After finishing speaking, he shook his sleeves and turned his head to leave. The other ministers quickly followed after looking at each other.

Tian Cheng asked: "Are they acquiescing in this way?"

Ning Qing stretched her muscles and bones: "They have long been dissatisfied with Sun Yin, but they also need to find an excuse. They have been entangled here for a long time, but they just wrangled with me and did nothing else. Believe it or not, they are also waiting. "

He laughed and said, "They're all old foxes. Since they've given a reason, why don't they just take the opportunity and accept it?"

Outside the palace, Sun Yin was rejoicing in the carriage for his wit just now, and he knew the truth that he would not be afraid of running out of firewood if he kept the green hills.If the situation at that time was head-to-head, I'm afraid that he has already lost his head, temporarily compromised and wrote the book of Zen position, and when he makes a comeback in the future, he denounces Sun Xuan, Mu Jing and others for forcing the palace to coerce him to write down those trumped-up charges.Anyway, forcing the palace is true, and the people and other officials will definitely stand by his side.

While he was thinking about it, the carriage had already stopped.Sun Yin didn't expect anyone to ask him to get out of the car. He opened the curtain and got out of the car. Looking at the barren fields with no village in front and no shop in the back, he turned around and asked in confusion: "What place is this?"

Several guards in front of him quickly dispersed, surrounded him, and drew their swords to face each other.

Sun Yin swallowed, eagerly looking for a place to escape, but there was no opening to exploit.He shouted: "Mu Jing is a villain, he backs his word!"

Before the lingering sound fell, the sharp sword flashed past, a thin line appeared on his neck, and the blood color quickly faded away.He slowly closed his eyes and fell down on the weeds, his eyes wide open in astonishment.

The next day, the news that the Nanman king was seriously ill was announced to the world.It is said that after the First World War in Jiazhou, the Nanman King was in constant fear and uneasiness, so that he was exhausted mentally and mentally. Recently, he became very ill. I am afraid that time is running out. Since his heir is still young, it is difficult for him to take on the responsibility. Both, the former king was also quite praised when he was there, and he was specially established as the son of the eldest son to inherit the great line.

Forget about the Nanman matter, Ning Qing and Wei Yao should have gone back immediately, but Sun Xuan wanted to stay a little longer as soon as they hit it off, so he asked Tian Cheng to go ahead and go back to see how Fei Tian was doing.

In the past few days, Sun Xuan has already lived in the royal palace. The sleeping hall is not the one where the Nanman kings of all dynasties lived, because he is not yet a righteous man, so he can only temporarily live in the side hall.Recently, the palace was busy with renovations, and Mu Jing helped prepare some matters, but he became the one who was free, reading in the study every day.

When Ning Qing and Wei Yao came, he was fascinated by something, like a painting scroll, when he saw them coming, he put down the things in his hand.

"You are here."

Because their names are not correct, they don't need to salute, they just bow to each other.

Ning Qing walked to him with a smile: "Your Highness likes to read, that's a good thing."

Sun Xuan couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand: "It's just to pass the time by reading some idle books. The palace is very busy, and it will be a lot of trouble for me to go out for a walk. It's better to stay quietly in the study."

Wei Yao said: "Your Highness is kind."

"I came to you today for a business." Sun Xuan took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Wei Yao.

He looked down and asked in surprise, "Is it a prescription?"

Sun Xuan nodded: "This is a prescription for treating fever epidemic. I heard that there was a fever epidemic in the southern border of the Great Wei Dynasty. Later, you figured out the prescription yourself. This thing may not be useful, but it can be used as a reference. It's just a piece of paper. If you can It is better to let the people in the world benefit than to put dust in the drawer."

Wei Yao glanced at it, and it was roughly the same as what Xiao Yuan wrote earlier, but there was a discrepancy in one or two medicines. He must be very happy to bring this thing back.

"I will thank Your Highness on behalf of the people."

Ning Qing looked at him with great interest, and said the doubts that had been surrounding him for the past few days: "We have nothing to do with His Highness before, but His Highness seems to have a preference for people from the Great Wei. I wonder if there is a relationship?"

Sun Xuan thought for a while, and handed him the scroll that he had just looked at. Ning Qing unfolded it, and it was a woman on the painting.

Ning Qing didn't understand what he meant, so she asked, "This is?"

"This is the person who developed the hot epidemic prescription."

Ning Qing asked in surprise, "A woman?"

"Exactly. She is a traveling doctor of the Great Wei. When she arrived in Nanman, it happened that the fever epidemic was rampant. At that time, all the doctors in the Nanman were helpless with this disease. No one would have thought that a female doctor of the Great Wei finally made the prescription. " Sun Xuandao, "Until now, only a few people in the royal family know her origin."

"So that's how it is." That's no wonder, Ning Qing said, "Your Highness, this is Ai Wu Ji Wu."

Ning Qing and Wei Yao took the prescription and left by the way. Sun Xuan understood that they had many things to do, so he didn't want to keep them anymore. The next day they set foot on the road back to Huangzhou. News, I heard that the enthronement ceremony is scheduled for half a month later.

As soon as the carriage arrived outside the city of Huangzhou, Tian Cheng had already received the news and rushed to meet him. Seeing Tian Cheng's anxious look, they guessed that things were not going well.

Unexpectedly, Tian Cheng said urgently: "General, Young Master, Fei Tian and Lin Rong are not in the Lin residence, it seems that... and Lin Suiqiong went to the imperial capital."
