Chapter 240 Negotiation
When Bai Wuqiu heard that he wanted to abdicate the demon king to him, Bai Jiang was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground. After reacting that his younger brother was not joking, he waved his hands and said, "Are Bai Wuqiu crazy? How can you talk nonsense if you do this? It is natural that the demon king will pass the throne to you first. You should have been the king who ruled the demon mountain. Apart from you, there is no demon in the demon mountain that can be the king!"
Baijiang had already made up his mind to borrow Wu Mian and Gui Bugui's eyesight to help Bai Wuqiu stabilize the various forces in the Demon Mountain. Then he found an opportunity to tell his demon king's true identity. Since it lost its memory, Gui Bugui has taken advantage of many years, and it should be letting it recognize its ancestors and return to its ancestors.
Unexpectedly, Bai Wuqiu himself did not plan to continue to be its demon king, which disrupted Baijiang's plan. Now the dynasty of the Demon Mountain has just been replaced, and the calm waves are actually surging below. The main force of the Demon Mountain army is still in the Sifang City. Although the main generals recognized Bai Wuqiu as the new demon king, they did not have the intention to come to the royal city to meet and report their duties. If they were not handled well, they might become warlords who were not ordered by the king, and then there would be another fierce battle. In addition to this, there were also old ministers left by the old demon king who had offended Bai Wuqiu because of the Xinjiang Alliance. There was already a gap in their hearts. At this time, if Bai Wuqiu gave up, the royal city would be in chaos without waiting for the chaos in the Sifang City.
At this moment, Baijiang kept discussing with Baiwuqiu and telling it about the various benefits of the Demon King. However, Erlangzi was determined to give up the Demon King's throne. If Baijiang didn't accept it, it would not mind giving the Demon King's throne to Xiao Rensan. Anyway, the ginseng doll was also thinking about the daughters of Lao Jiang Bian, which happened to follow its wish.
Just when Baijiang was about to break the pot and sank the boat, he said in advance that Bai Wugui had nothing to do with returning or not, and had been taken advantage of by that old guy for so many years. He said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and before he could speak, the old guy had already appeared in front of the two brothers out of thin air.
"I said, why can't you find a silly boy? It's true that you two brothers are talking about it here." Although Gui Bugui's eyes were still invisible, his old face, which was like orange peel, was always facing Bai Jiang's position. The big monster who was "seeing" by him kept feeling scared. He had already reached the point of his mouth, so he had to swallow it back.
"Old guy, what can we say? This is not that I have been a demon king who has been so many days, and I have been doing it differently every day. I am planning to abdicate the demon king to Baijiang and then accompany you to continue to have fun." Baiwuqiu saw his 'bird father' appear, grinned at the old guy, then pointed to Baijiang with a somewhat ugly face, and continued, "But Baijiang is just polite, don't you say anything. It's not that I'm talking about it. Our brothers can't write two hundred words in one stroke. Everyone crawled out of a mom's intestine. Isn't it the same who is the demon king?"
"How could it be the same? The throne of the Demon King is the destiny of heaven. Your Majesty, you are the one who was chosen by God to rule the demons in the world. Gui Bugui, what do you think..." At this time, Bai Jiang also realized that Gui Bugui may not be a bad thing. This old guy tried his best to win the throne of the Demon King for Bai Wuqiu. Maybe he could still persuade him to persuade this stupid brother at this time. Before, Bian Bian, who had so many sons, died one by one because they were thinking about the position of the Demon King. Others had to fight for something that others had to sacrifice their lives, how could his stupid brother give in?
"Why am I wrong? It was originally a demon king who pushed it around." Gui Bugui smiled and sat next to Bai Wuqiu. He continued, "Dad, I'll give you an idea. The demon king should be our family. But Baijiang, you can help it deal with the government affairs on the demon mountain. You two are not outsiders. If you are the elder brother, you should help your brothers, but you still have to help them."
Bai Jiang couldn't understand Gui Bugui's words, and he didn't care whether he was taking advantage of it in his words just now. The monster was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't we the case now? Gui Bugui is the demon king, I will try my best to assist..."
"You don't understand what the old man means." Gui Bugui continued with a smile before Bai Jiang finished speaking, "The Demon King is the Demon King everywhere, right? Then, if you are on the Demon Mountain, Bai Wuqiu is the silly word "Bao Wuqiu". Isn't it tired of staying in the Demon Mountain? Then let it go out for a walk. When you want to come back, continue to be its Demon King. When this silly boy is not here, Bai Jiang will work harder. How good is it to deal with the matters on the Demon Mountain for it, killing two birds with one stone? By then, you two brothers will be the Demon King, one is the Demon King, and the other is the one who does things. I am so happy for you..."
"The Demon King is not in the royal city, so what is the Demon King?" Bai Jiang also understood Gui Bugui's words at this time. The old guy wanted to take his brother away. Although he had nothing to say to Bai Wuqiu, his brother is the king of the demon clan now. How could he continue to wander with them? The dignified Lord of the Demon Mountain still drove for them like before?
"Then don't let me ask you, old man," Gui Bugui smiled sly and continued, "When Lao Jiang Bian used to wander around the world, wasn't it a demon king? In the past, it had no brothers to look at its family background, but now Bai Wuqiu has you and Bai Jiang watch it. What else is there to worry about? Why, Bai Jiang still cares about the position of the demon king?"
"If you want to worry about it, I was already the Demon King just now." Bai Jiang couldn't find a reason to argue, but no matter what, he could not let Bai Wuqiu mingle with them like before. At this moment, it still found a reason and continued to say: "Now that the Demon Mountain is settled, the Demon King needs to continue to take charge of the royal city. If Bai Wuqiu moves easily, it will lead to the Demon Mountain Army and political mutiny. Who will bear this crime?"
"Do you think that the demon mountain will be calm if you don't want to leave?" Gui Bugui smiled, patted Baijiang on the shoulder, and then continued: "The old demon king ruled the demon mountain for thousands of years. Isn't it the rebellion that should be rebelled? Even its own son is rushing to cause trouble, and his biological son is unreliable. Can he still count on outsiders?"
When he said this, Gui Bugui paused for a moment, then changed his tone and continued, "Baiwuqiu is here, it is the target of rebellion. The old demon king has avoided several assassinations over the years, and no one knows better than you, right? The old demon king can barely escape from such a careful mind. Guess how many times can the silly boy Baiwuqiu dodge?"
Speaking of this, Baijiang finally stopped. It has been guarding Bian by Lao Jiang for so many years, and what it saw is much more terrifying than the old guy in front of him. Thinking of what the old demon king experienced, its scalp is still a little numb now.
Seeing that the big demon finally stopped, the old guy smiled and continued, "Although Bai Wuqiu is not in the Demon Mountain, it is still nominally its place. No matter what, it has called the old man my father for so many years. Of course, the things in my son's house cannot be ignored. In this way, now I have made a covenant with you. From the day when Bai Wuqiu left the Demon Mountain, as long as something happens to you, you just need to find a small note of two inches. Old man, and Wu Mian, will definitely bring your demon king here immediately. Even if we dare to move things from our house, is there any king's law?"
The last few words talked about Bai Jiang's heart. If Bai Wuqiu really explained its relationship with these people and demons, then the connection would be completely broken. However, it would be a good thing to really sign such a covenant with them.
After being pestered by the old guy for a long time, Baijiang finally spitted. However, it also made Gui Bugui agree to a few things. First, the demon king who has no desires cannot say no, and he cannot give it to other monsters. Second, he can call this demon king like before, and third, he must keep the Monkey King Monkey...
Chapter 241 General Tiance Author: Erdong Shuishou Release time: Yesterday 22:09 Word count: 2569 In Chang'an City, a big banquet was being held in the prince's uterus.
Crown Prince Li Jiancheng invited King Li Shimin of Qin to have a banquet in the mansion. The two brothers had been in harmony for a long time. They made a big fuss in the court during the day because Li Shimin made great contributions to pacifying King Shichong of Luoyang.
At this time, the King of Qin had already become the most important minister, and the emperor rewarded almost all the titles and official positions that could be awarded.
The title of no one can be granted, and he actually created a position of General Tiance for Li Shimin. General Tiance was the first person behind the crown prince after being granted to Li Shimin.
During the reward, Li Jiancheng suddenly attacked and told his father Li Yuan that the rebellion was not only due to Li Shimin.
There are also his generals and civil servants who are strategizing in the capital. If all the credit is given to the King of Qin, other civil and military officials may not be convinced.
Before the prince could finish his words, King Lu, who participated in the quelling of the rebellion, stopped doing it. He came out and said a few good words for Li Shimin, indicating that the civil and military officials who had participated in the quelling of the rebellion had been rewarded.
If Li Shimin, who had made the greatest contribution, was withdrawn from General Tiance, he would probably lead to the veteran generals in the army to dissatisfaction.
Cheng Yaojin was also an equal demon king of the world who was on par with Li Yuan back then. Although he has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, his words are also very important. Not to mention the prince, even the emperor Li Yuan has to give him enough face.
However, at this time, the position of General Tiance had threatened his position, and Li Jiancheng could not argue with this King Lu Qiansui.
Later, Li Jiancheng and Cheng Yaojin talked more and more, and King Lu actually kicked the table over and snatched the sword of the warrior in the palace to attack Li Jiancheng. Although there were Li Yuan's ministers in the palace, most of them rebelled from Wagang Mountain with Cheng Yaojin. These people went to persuade the fight, but in fact they took the lead. They blocked the military officers of the prince's faction and left room for Brother Cheng to beat up the prince Li Jiancheng.
Finally, seeing that his son was about to be beaten, Li Yuan came forward to speak up. After scolding Li Jiancheng, he enthroned Li Shimin as General Tiance on the spot. Finally, he wanted to ease the relationship between the prince and the King of Qin, and ordered Li Jiancheng to invite Li Shimin to have a banquet in the mansion. They were all my compatriots and not life-and-death enemies. In the future, after the prince ascended the throne, he would rely on his brothers to consolidate Li Tang's territory.
That night, Li Shimin brought Cheng Yaojin and other generals to the prince's womb. After three rounds of wine, Li Jiancheng invited the singers in his mansion to sing and dance to entertain him. Then he came to toast himself, hugged his second brother's shoulder and said, "Second, your brother has no selfishness in the court today. Your contribution is too great. Now the title has reached its peak. If you make great contributions, what will your father give to reward? You can't take off the imperial robe and put it on for you, right?"
Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng sighed pretendingly, and then continued: "Your current title has made your father restless. Brother, I am worried that Your Majesty has already become suspicious of you. We are all descendants of the Tian family, and there are many things that the father and son of the Tian family have been killed in the past dynasties..." No matter what Li Jiancheng said, Li Shimin smiled slightly. He neither responded nor stopped him.
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words became more and more explicit, Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting next to the King of Qin, couldn't listen. Master Cheng smiled and came over to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, Prince, what you said is right. In the past, the emperor was worried that the prince would rebel, deposed, and the old Cheng who was killed was too big to count. You must be careful. When the old emperor looked in the mirror that day, he found that Prince, you didn't look like him. Maybe he would call you into the palace in the middle of the night and dug a hole to bury it alive..."
Li Jiancheng's face turned red and white, if he hadn't been afraid of King Lu's power, he would have turned over the table and started to take action now.
Seeing that Li Shimin and others could not be told, the prince immediately became cruel and called the eunuch in his palace: "Go and bring the wine that Your Majesty has rewarded me. The King of Qin and the generals are all people who have made great contributions. I want to borrow Your Majesty's wine and drink it with the King of Qin and the generals."
After a while, two little eunuchs walked in with a big wine jar. They opened the sealing mud in front of everyone else and poured the wine pot. The prince held the pot and poured a full cup for Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin. Then he held up his wine glass and said to Li Shimin and others with a smile: "Come on, you and my brothers accompany you to drink this cup. All the generals have worked hard and made great contributions. I hope you will continue to serve Your Majesty and make new contributions."
After saying that, Li Jiancheng was the first to drink the wine in his glass. After watching Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others drink the wine in his glass, a strange smile appeared on the prince's face. Then, Li Jiancheng shook twice, then said to Li Shimin with an apology: "Brother, I'm a little overwhelmed. Second, you can continue to drink with the generals, and I'll come here..."
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb the prince's rest." After a smile, Li Shimin continued, "Shimin and the prince are brothers, and I also know that the prince is for my own good today. Don't worry about what you do today..."
After saying that, Li Shimin saluted the prince, and then took Cheng Yaojin and others out of the prince's uterus. Li Jiancheng used the excuse of excessive drinking, but did not send him to him personally, but sent his son to send Li Shimin and others out of the palace.
After watching Li Shimin and others disappear from his eyes, Li Jiancheng immediately seemed to have changed his personality. He said to the eunuch beside him with a panic expression: "Anti-drug... take the antidote quickly..."
At this time, a eunuch had already brought a bowl of yellow soup. Li Jiancheng snatched the medicine bowl. After drinking the soup, he let out a long sigh. Then he sneered at the place where Li Shimin and others left, and said to himself: "Even if General Tiance chased you, taking this title with him, he can be worthy of your previous military achievements..."
"Your Highness, you still choose the best plan." Just when Li Jiancheng was proud, a bald monk came in from outside. It was the monk Guangxiao who escorted the Japanese envoy to Chang'an. After sighing, the monk Guangxiao continued, "Your Highness is too anxious. Your Majesty is still there at this time. You can't hide what you do. Isn't this your Majesty forced you? What can I do?" Li Jiancheng sneered and continued, "Why did he want to grant General Li Shimin a title like the top heaven that has never been heard of in ancient times? Don't you want Li Shimin to restrain me as the prince? I made a decision for Your Majesty. He would have a son tomorrow morning. There is no other way out except to pass the throne to me."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, let's take a look at the front of you first." When he spoke, Guangxiao sighed and then continued: "The taboo marks on Your Highness's face have appeared. If you can listen to the monk, Your Highness should not leave the Prince's uterus within a hundred days from tomorrow. Otherwise, Your Highness may suffer a bloody disaster."
"My plan will be done tomorrow. If I don't leave the palace, I don't know who will be better." Li Jiancheng looked at Gui Bugui strangely and continued, "I heard that Master and Li Xuanba have some affection. Master, don't you want to help Li Xuanba become emperor?"
Hearing this, Guangxiao sighed, ignored the prince in front of him, and walked out directly.
At the same time, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the carriage, also drank a bowl of medicine, and after drinking it, he started vomiting on the carriage. However, after vomiting, he still shook his head, as if he felt that he had not spit out the drink that had been drunk.
Since Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin left the prince's uterus, the prince sent someone to follow the Qin King's convoy.
Although it was discovered that Li Shimin sent someone to the pharmacy to buy medicine, according to the prescriptions sent to the pharmacy, there was no detoxification prescription on it.
It was also the prince who was a little careless, and he didn't expect that there were experts like Gui Bugui on the carriage.
In the eyes of this old guy, he could not detoxify the poison in the world. Later, Li Shimin brought all the generals who followed him to the banquet to his mansion at night, and then almost all the doctors in Chang'an City were invited by the people of the Qin Palace.
In the early morning, the housekeeper of the Qin Palace brought Li Shimin's handwritten letter to the palace to invite the imperial doctor.
According to the spy's report, the butler's voice was trembling when he spoke. He missed a word at the palace gate, and almost anyone who had attended the banquet had died... After receiving the news, Li Jiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and then ordered his men to prepare for the morning court.
In a short time, news of Li Shimin's death of the poisonous Dharma will be spread, and he will have to deal with the emperor's inquiries at that time.
Li Jiancheng was ready to put the blame on Xu Yuanlang, who had just been pacified by Li Shimin.
At that time, it will be said that Xu Yuanlang's subordinates were hiding in his mansion, and they were originally going to poison him and the King of Qin to death.
It was only when he took the wrong wine glass at that time that he escaped. However, Li Jiancheng still felt something was wrong in his heart. The prince was careful and kept several monks recruited in the prince's uterus by his side. These monks claimed to be disciples of the volcano of the Great Fang Master of the Original Alchemist. Li Jiancheng spent a lot of money to recruit them to his side.
At this moment, these monks guarded the prince's ceremonial guards and went to the palace together. When the ceremonial guards passed by Xuanwu Gate.
The flag sign that opened the road in front suddenly shouted: "There is an assassin..."
Before he could finish his words, countless arrows were shot out from the houses on both sides of the street, as if it was raining. In the blink of an eye, most of the prince's guards had been shot. Fortunately, there were monk guards beside Li Jiancheng. One of them used magic to rise up all around the prince's fire walls, and the arrows were burned to ashes as soon as they passed through the fire wall.
Then, the remaining monks also began to use their own magic to set fire among the houses where the arrows were shot. In a blink of an eye, the fire broke out in two rows of houses on both sides. The remaining guards hurriedly escorted the scared prince and continued to flee to the palace. As long as they entered the palace, the imperial guards inside could escape from the heavens.
However, they had not escaped much, and a group of people came out of the alley next to them. The general led by him was Yuchi Gong from the Qin Palace. He was also at the banquet last night. Now, seeing him holding a spear in his hand, Li Jiancheng understood everything. His second brother had nothing to do, and he had already started to do it.
At this time, before the monks around the prince took action, some of the soldiers on the left and right sides of Yuchi Gong were the strongest. Several black lights were shot out. The monks who claimed to be high-level masters of the Volcano were hit by the black light and their bodies quickly and quickly decayed. In a blink of an eye, these monks died in a wail.
At that time, Li Jiancheng no longer cared about these monks. He turned around and fled behind him. The houses behind him had been burned by fire and there would be no ambush inside. There were still three thousand dead men in his prince's uterus, and he could support them for a while. As long as the movement reached the palace, the emperor would not watch his eldest son die.
Just as Li Jiancheng was running desperately, a man suddenly appeared in front of him. The general who led the lead was a white beard and white-haired man, and it was his old rival Cheng Yaojin. King Lu saw the prince who looked like a stray dog, and laughed and said, "Li Jiancheng! Didn't you think? That glass of poisoned wine poisoned you..."
After seeing that the way was blocked, Li Jiancheng shouted to King Lu: "Cheng Yaojin, you can't kill me! I am the crown prince of a country... I have committed a huge crime, so naturally there is a king's law to convict me. You can't kill me, I confess my guilt! It was me who assassinated the Qin King Li Shimin. You arrest me and let Your Majesty go back. I give the position of crown prince to the King of Qin, as long as I can save my life..."
"It's too late! Why didn't you think so when you poisoned the wine last night?" Cheng Yaojin sneered and said to the archers beside him: "Little ones, shoot the guilty prince Li Jiancheng into a hedgehog..." When he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin and the Yuchi Gong army who had caught up with him shot arrows at the same time. In the blink of an eye, Li Jiancheng was filled with more than a hundred arrows from top to bottom. The prince did not hum and fell to the ground and died in anger.
After receiving the news that the prince was dead, Li Shimin brought the generals into the palace. He told Li Yuan, who was preparing for the morning court, how the prince poisoned him and murdered him last night. Fortunately, the old god Gui Bugui arrived in time to save his and the generals' lives. Cheng Yaojin, who was poisoned together last night, was angry, but set up an ambush on the way the prince was required to go to court, and had already killed Prince Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuan heard this news and felt a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that a night had passed and he was separated from his eldest son Jiancheng from his eldest son Jiancheng. Although Li Yuan was shocked and angry, he realized that the power had now fallen into the hands of his son Li Shimin. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Yuan resisted the pain of losing his son. He issued several imperial edicts, first rebuked Prince Li Jiancheng for murdering his compatriots and abolishing his position as crown prince. Then he praised Li Shimin and granted him the position of crown prince.
Finally, Emperor Li Yuan announced that he was in good health and that no matter what, the prince Li Shimin would handle it. At this time, the dispute between the prince, who started from Taiyuan City, finally came to an end.
In the palace, Li Xuanba, the King of Zhao who was in charge of guarding the emperor, was shocked when he heard that his second brother had killed his eldest brother. Although they had been jealous for a long time, Li Xuanba never expected that such flesh and blood would be killed. Moreover, killing Li Jiancheng was not counted, and the general under Li Shimin also massacred several sons and daughters of the prince. I heard that at this time, Li Xuanba's feelings for his second brother had changed in an inverted manner...
Originally, Li Shimin wanted to explain to him, but the young monk said that he would not see his second brother. In desperation, Li Shimin had to give up.
Li Xuanba never untied this knot. Why did the family finally make a life-and-death situation? Li Xuanba had not been mixed with water for three days, and the enemy on the battlefield had become weak at this time. After hearing this, Li Shimin was even more afraid to stimulate his younger brother. He instructed his servants to try every means to restore His Highness Zhao to normal...
On the third night, when Li Xuanba was still in a daze, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and the blind old guy Gui Bugui appeared in front of him. The old guy seemed to be able to see it, and said to Li Xuanba, whose eyes were already a little confused, "Little monk, it's been a long time since you were in a state of mind. Old man, I know your mood, why did my brothers kill each other? Back then, I had a friend who had been playing with since childhood. We could wear a pair of pants for two of us, but later when he became rich, he refused to recognize me as my friend. He turned his face because of a few gossips and found a barren mountain to lock me up for more than a hundred years..."
