Chapter 991

In the end, half of the people in the court knelt down and begged Shangguan Chen to make a decree for peace, and the two countries negotiated a peace.

The other half stood still. These people were as ambitious as Shangguan He, and wanted to take over Da Zhou and rule the world.

They were very disdainful when they saw the party for peace kneeling in the court hall.

"The prince wants to unify the great cause. You villains, you actually say that the prince, the world will be unified, and I, Xiliang, will become a great country that will go down in history. At that time, we will be famous in history."

"My Xiliang is thin and sparsely populated, and the people's life is not easy. We attacked the Great Zhou and unified the world, and we also wanted to make the people of Xiliang live a better life, understand?"

"The Great Zhou is rich in things and the people are rich. If the Great Zhou is taken down, I, Xiliang, will be rich in one leap."

The people kneeling in the court hall looked at the courtier who spoke in disbelief. Isn't this the theory of robbers? Seeing others are good, I want to snatch them away, bah, what do you want to rule the world, it's just my own ambitions, I don't care about the people at all, and I don't treat soldiers as human beings.

The kneeling people did not quarrel with these people, turned their heads and looked at Shangguan Chen: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to General Huang at the border to discuss peace with Da Zhou. We wish to maintain peace with Da Zhou forever in the future."

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

The old emperor Shangguan Chen gave Shangguan He a cold look, then opened his mouth to make an order.

Shangguan He immediately stepped out and said in a deep voice: "My son is willing to lead troops to the border to support General Huang in attacking Da Zhou."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone knew that the prince wanted to fight again.

Shangguan He was extremely annoyed at this moment. He never expected that General Huang hadn't captured the frontier pass so well that he had arranged it so well, so he personally led the troops to fight.

Shangguan He is very confident about this. In his previous life, he defeated so many troops and unified the world. Could it be that he is afraid of a small big Zhou?

However, although Shangguan He was confident, the emperor didn't believe him, and the emperor himself was a peacemaker, he didn't want to fight, so he looked at Shangguan He with a bad face.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured in this battle. Do you know how many families have been displaced because of your deployment? Don't you give up on so many people? Did more people die? The Great Zhou Dynasty is now rich and powerful, with plenty of food and grass, how can we beat them? You are clearly sending Xiliang soldiers to go up to die."

After Shangguan Chen finished speaking, he made up his mind that this battle should not be fought again. He looked down at a courtier and issued an order: "After hearing the order, the servant of the household department will go to the border immediately and go out with General Huang. , seek peace with Da Zhou, I, Xiliang, would like to be a friendly country with Da Zhou forever, and never invade Da Zhou again.”

Mu Shilang quickly said: "Your Majesty, because our first soldiers violated Da Zhou and caused war between the two countries, I am afraid that Da Zhou will not just compromise like this, and may propose compensation terms."

The old emperor also knew that he was wronged, and sighed: "As long as it is not too much, I will agree to them. We are willing to compensate."

When the old emperor finished speaking, Mu Shilang didn't have time to answer.

Crown Prince Shangguan He called out: "Father, you can't."

It's a pity that as soon as Shangguan He's words fell, the person who came out to discuss the peace immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The old emperor waved his hand, signaling to retreat.

In the end, everyone left, leaving only Shangguan He and half of the courtiers who followed him. These people saw the old emperor and some other courtiers who agreed to negotiate peace leave, and they all surrounded Shangguan He and said: "Your Highness, is it right?" So forget it?"

"If this is the case, what we did before is nothing, not to mention that nearly ten thousand people were killed or injured in this battle. If these things are spread in Xiliang, I am afraid that the people will hate His Highness, and His Highness's prestige will be greatly affected."

"Yes, who will trust His Highness in the future?"

When these words reached Shangguan He's ears, he almost wanted to tear Shangguan He's face off, his face was extremely gloomy and ugly, he raised his hand and said: "You guys go out of the palace, I have my own decision."

When the people behind him left, Shangguan He stared at the emperor's throne with bitter eyes.

He must not let the people sent by the old emperor go to the border to negotiate peace. If so, he, Shangguan He, would no longer have prestige in Xiliang, and because nearly ten thousand people were killed or injured in this battle, those people would scold him.

He will never allow such a thing to happen, so the old emperor deserves to die.

Because of the urgency of the situation, Shangguan He couldn't care too much. He had to prevent the people sent by Shangguan Chen from going to the border to negotiate a peace, so Shangguan He decided to prescribe medicine to Shangguan Chen. The old emperor died. As the prince of Xiliang, he could The superior, when the time comes, he will have the final say on everything in Xiliang.

Shangguan He didn't know that at this time Shangguan Mo was standing in front of Shangguan Chen, reminding him to be careful.

"Father, the prince and brother have always been ambitious. He has always been proud and arrogant, intending to dominate the world. Father ordered to stop him. I'm afraid he will take some action?"

After hearing Shangguan Mo's words, Shangguan Chen's face was very ugly, and he was a little annoyed, because he felt that no matter how hateful Guan He was, he would not kill him, he was the emperor who raised him.

Shangguan Chen looked at Shangguan Mo coldly: "Lao Liu, your thoughts are not pure."

Shangguan lifted his robe and knelt down silently: "Father, I have absolutely no ambitions, I just worry about my father. If something happens to my father, the prince and brother may not be able to tolerate us."

After Shangguan Mo finished speaking, his face was a little pale, as if he was frightened by Shangguan He.

Shangguan Chen was silent. First there was the fifth prince, and now there is the sixth prince. These brothers seem to be very afraid of Shangguan He. Why, it shows that Shangguan He, the prince, is not a good person. Otherwise, why are the younger brothers so afraid of him?

Shangguan Chen was even more displeased with Shangguan He, but he still didn't believe that Shangguan He would harm him.

Shangguan Chen was about to speak, when outside the door, the eunuch Zai who was waiting for Shangguan Chen came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the eighth princess is asking to see you."

Shangguan Chen liked Shangguan Yunyan very much, he raised his hand and ordered: "Let her in."

After finishing speaking, he asked Shangguan to go back silently, Shangguan kept silent, and thanked En to go back.

Shangguan Yunyan passed him by, the siblings didn't even make eye contact.

Shangguan Yunyan quickly saluted Shangguan Chen: "I have seen my father, my father Wanan."

Shangguan Chen looked at Shangguan Yunyan with a gentle face: "What are you doing here?"

Shangguan Yunyan first confessed to Shangguan Chen: "I was picking flowers in the imperial garden before, and I was going to make a flower soup, but I heard the eunuchs talking about it, saying that Xiliang had a war with Dayi, and we were defeated in Xiliang. I ordered Lord Mu Liang, the Minister of the Household Department, to go to negotiate a peace, and the minister was worried about the father, so he came here."

When Shangguan Chen heard this, he was very annoyed: "It seems that I have to manage this harem properly."

As soon as the court came down early, there was such news in the palace. What did this mean? It meant that his harem was like a loophole.

Shangguan Yunyan looked at Shangguan Chen, said with reddish eyes, "Father, my son is worried about you."

Shangguan Chen looked over and saw that she was about to cry or not, but couldn't bear it anymore: "What are you worried about father?"

After the words fell, he suddenly thought of what Shangguan Mo had said to him. Could it be that Xiao Ba was also worried that the crown prince would do something to him? how come?

"Xiaoba you?"

Shangguan Yunyan knelt down: "Father, although my son and I don't have much contact with the prince and brother, he knows his nature. He is very headstrong and thinks that he is the smartest one in the world. Since he decided to send troops to commit crimes Zhou, to rule the world, there is absolutely no possibility for people to change the plan, now that the father and the emperor have ordered peace, I am afraid that the prince and brother will not let such a thing happen."

When the old emperor thought about the prince's personality, he was really right by Xiaoba, so it is really possible for him to poison him? Just to make himself the emperor of Xiliang, so that he can continue his plan.

Shangguan Chen's face became gloomy, and Shangguan Yunyan on one side said: "I don't want any accidents to my father. My father, you must be on guard against others. Let's be on guard first. If the prince and brother don't do anything, it means We judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but if something really happens, it is good for us to be on guard in advance."

Shangguan Chen thought about the same reasoning, and finally agreed.

That night, Shangguan Chen coughed up blood in the palace and fell into a coma.

Upon receiving the news, Crown Prince Shangguan He took control of Longyu Palace where Shangguan Chen lived.

The concubines in the harem and the ministers in the court all rushed to the palace after receiving the news, but no one saw the emperor, and they were all stopped outside the bedroom.

In the sleeping hall, Crown Prince Shangguan He ordered the imperial physician to examine His Majesty, but before the imperial physician could examine him, the emperor who was supposed to be asleep on the bed opened his eyes and fixed his eyes on Shangguan He.

"Prince, you bastard, you actually murdered me. I was the father who raised you, do you remember?"

Shangguan He didn't expect that Shangguan Chen was not poisoned, he was not poisoned, but pretended to be poisoned, he clearly suspected him, if Shangguan Chen didn't die, he would be the one who died.

Shangguan He immediately drew his sword and rushed towards Shangguan Chen. This was a completely subconscious action, and he didn't even have time to think about it.

And as Shangguan He started to move, someone rushed over from the four corners of the bedroom to escort him, and at the same time someone shouted loudly: "It's not good, the prince assassinated His Majesty, the prince is plotting against you, hurry up and escort him."

The people outside heard the commotion inside and came straight to the bedroom.

Shangguan He also brought a lot of men into the palace this time, but because Shangguan Chen had made arrangements earlier, even though his men were very powerful, he was still killed a lot, and Shangguan He was also caught and held down.

Shangguan Chen got off the dragon bed, staring at Shangguan He with an ugly face: "Nizi, do you want me to die that much? Is it not good enough for you?"

Shangguan He stared at Shangguan Chen with bloodshot eyes: "You are kind to Gu, and you still guard against Gu like this, and set up a scheme against Gu."

Shangguan Chen was almost pissed to death. If the sixth prince and eighth princess hadn't persuaded him together, he would have been killed by this rebellious son today.

This Nizi first put medicine in his dinner, and then tried to kill him in the bedroom, he really didn't give up if he didn't kill him.

Shangguan Chen was filled with hatred in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The prince seeks rebellion, it is unbearable to be the prince of Xiliang, and now he is demoted to a commoner, what should I do?"

Shangguan Chen originally opened his mouth to talk about execution, but when he thought about the past between himself and Shangguan He, he couldn't say the last word of death, so he finally changed his words and said: "Give the common people Shangguan He five hearts to burn poison, and send him to the imperial tomb to guard the imperial tomb."

Five-heart burning is a kind of poison that incinerates five or six lungs with pain. It does not kill people, but makes people suffer.

But the old emperor is like this, no one thinks he is vicious, but also thinks he is benevolent, the crown prince is going to kill him.

But the prince didn't think so, he struggled to look up at the old emperor: "I will not be grateful to you."

After he finished speaking, the eunuch on one side, Shangguan Chen, pinched his chin in public, and fed poison like Wuxinburn into his mouth, and then Shangguan Chen issued an order: "Send Shangguan He Shangguan He to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum immediately." .”
