Chapter 697 An unexpected turn!

"It's the son."

No one could have imagined that at this moment, the person who came out to plead guilty was the sixth prince of Yan... Ji Chengjue.

Today’s Great Court Meeting,

Today’s Golden Palace,

All the ministers and nobles knew before coming to court that they were destined to be uneasy.

When many people returned home for supper after the palace banquet last night, they sighed to their nephews:

“Tomorrow is destined to be unrest.”

Then,

I have to sigh three times,

Staring at the flickering candlelight again,

try to keep it as secretive as possible.

Even if he has no role at all in today's imperial meeting, he must create a dilemma in which he is in a whirlpool to repay his concern for the country and the people.

However,

This is not just a lack of peace, it is a series of twists and turns, and each twist is the kind of breaking bones and tendons. You can hear the very clear sound of bone cracking. sound.

The princeling officials were stunned,

This,

Which one is this?

The officials of the Liuye Party had expressions of shock on their faces. At this moment, these adults could no longer keep their emotions and anger indistinct, and they had completely failed.

The prince's hand is still holding the railing on the platform of the Golden Palace. Beside him, there is a golden dragon head with majestic eyes staring downward. The prince's eyes at this time are as wide as the dragon beside him. The eyes are the same size.

Da Zongzhengji Changwang raised her head and looked at the sixth prince kneeling in front of her with some disbelief.

After Mr. Zheng got over the shock, he quickly made plans in his heart.

In fact, a large part of his energy is involved in the military, so Zheng Houye feels that his political vision is not bad, but when it comes to political operations and conspiracy methods, Zheng Houye believes that Ji Laoliu must be in his own front.

He must have deep meaning in doing this.

The prince's expression, body language, etc. were almost ready to collapse, so the arrow that Da Zongzheng was aiming at must have been aimed at the prince.

Yanhuang made a move to press the arrow, but Da Zongzheng pushed back with the intention of retreating.

When the arrow was shot, Ji Chengjue suddenly stepped out and blocked the arrow without hesitation.

Is the love between brothers deep?

Zheng Fan didn't think that when it came time to entrust the whole family to his care, Ji Chengjue would still have the heart to act like a brother and sister here.

Do you want to sacrifice yourself to take the blame for the prince?

Do you want to show that you can easily knock down the prince with one blow, and then show off your ability to take the overall situation into consideration and endure the humiliation?

I deliberately want to show you, Emperor Yan, whether your son can go up or down?

No,

impossible.

Lord Zheng shook his head slightly in his heart, it couldn't be like this, and it couldn't be like this.

This is the decisive battle. As the prince contestant who has fought to the end to seize the throne, if you, Ji Laoliu, want to retire, you can retreat with the fourth prince on the second floor of the roast duck restaurant. In this way, you may still be able to keep a share. In the future, if you live with your tail between your legs, you will have a chance to live like a happy prince, or your sons and grandsons will be able to live more comfortably.

Not quitting the roast duck restaurant means there is no way out.

It’s totally unnecessary for you to act like you’re trying to block the gun.

At the most critical moment of seizing the throne, he knocked a shit basin on his head. Isn’t this a disease?

You are not the boss, the fourth or the fifth, nor the underage Xiao Qi. You are the sixth master who gritted his teeth and persisted until the end, even half a body ahead of the prince.

A woman’s kindness will not exist at this time, Ji Laoliu, he will not make such a mistake.

Furthermore, any retreat at this time, any so-called show, any brotherhood, any false pretense, are irresponsible to the courtiers who follow you. Playing like this, The team will inevitably become disloyal, and once the people's hearts are dispersed, they will collapse.

Zheng Houye's eyes narrowed.

Because Ji Laoliu was kneeling there, face down, Zheng Fan couldn't see clearly his expression at this time.

Yes,

Is it necessary to do this?

Is there any reason not to do this?

Zheng Fan took his eyes away from Ji Chengjue and looked at Da Zongzheng, then looked at the prince, and finally, like a dragonfly, he glanced at the position of Emperor Yan's dragon chair.

At this time,

Emperor Yan's voice sounded:

"Chengjue, say it again."

Ji Chengjue raised his head,

On his face, there was a calm expression:

"That young girl belongs to my son. If my son has lost his moral character, please punish me!"

The voice was very clear and loud, and all the ministers in the Golden Palace could hear it clearly.

At this time,

Zheng Fan suddenly noticed that Da Zongzheng, who was kneeling a little behind, actually revealed a hint of complexity, even... fear, in his eyes.

At this time, the prince also knelt down.

Brothers plead guilty. As elder brothers, they naturally have to defend themselves and kneel down to beg for mercy. This is natural. However, in the eyes of others, it is more like they suddenly let out a sigh of relief during the most intense struggle, and the whole person collapsed. .

Emperor Yan ignored the prince and was not in a hurry to punish Ji Chengjue.

Instead, he looked at Da Zongzheng, his uncle, who was kneeling behind him;

"Dazong Zheng. "

"Your Majesty... is here."

"You just said that your evidence is very detailed. I ask you, does the evidence really refer to Cheng Jue?"

"Chen..."

Beads of sweat began to appear on Da Zongzheng's face.

The position of clan leader is usually held by the person with the highest seniority. In fact, Dazongzheng is older, but he is only a little older than Emperor Yan.

After all, it is not unusual for the emperor's sons to have a wide age range.

But at this moment, Da Zongzheng’s face began to turn pale.

Finally,

he gritted his teeth and

said:

“Your Majesty, no.”

“Hiss...”
< br>

This time, many people really took a breath of cold air. It is really hard to control themselves if they continue to take it seriously after all these twists and turns.

Straight bitch,

What is going on right now!

The people sent by Liu Ye’s party launched a thunderous blow at the prince;

Subsequently,

The leader of the Liu Ye Party appeared in person and blocked the blow himself;

It stands to reason that

the leader has already taken such responsibility,

but you are the one who hit The one who charged didn't follow the leader's path?

Everyone is an old man in the officialdom. Even those nobles who have inherited the title have been exposed to certain things since childhood, so everyone knows that this cannot be a matter of tacit cooperation or lack of tacit understanding. No matter how tacit understanding is, as long as there is some This will never happen to your brain.

The sweat on Da Zongzheng's face became more and more intense.

Zaifu Zhao Jiulang still stood there, motionless as a mountain.

The real court bosses such as the ministers of various ministries and the ministers around him may have the intention of getting close to a certain prince, but they only agree with that prince's policy and philosophy of governing the country. , at their level, if necessary, they can just turn a blind eye, or if necessary, just push the boat along without leaving any trace. They will not end up personally and lose their share.

When a hunter wants to bite someone, how can he just open his mouth and release the dog? If you become a boss, who doesn't have a group of dogs under you?

Of course, this does not mean that they are "insightful of everything" by pretending to be superiors. In fact, they are also frequently making eye contact and shaking their heads slightly. Obviously, they are also aware of the situation in front of them. Confused.

But Lord Zheng was keenly aware of one detail.

That’s when His Majesty asked Da Zongzheng.

He made a point first:

Since the evidence is complete.

This was the first time Da Zongzheng said it himself.

Then, His Majesty asked again.

So,

Da Zongzheng simply cannot change his words. His arrow was pointed at the prince at the beginning, so it must be pointed at the prince. It can even be said that the arrow will be clearly marked. There is a line of words engraved on it: This arrow is specially made to kill the prince!

Unless Emperor Yan deliberately erased this line of words and everyone was confused, then he could just find another prince to be the cheap father and make a plan.

But Emperor Yan’s tone was,

He wants to see evidence,

he wants to see,

the evidence you investigated, the evidence you prepared!

As he looked good today, Emperor Yan's temper also increased.

After several twists and turns in this matter, Emperor Yan was tired of it. He blocked Dazongzheng's road himself and forced him to go forward.

"Then, who is it?"

Dazong knocked his head heavily on the ground,

almost crying,

shouted:

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to say, I don't dare to say."

Ji Chengjue was still kneeling there, motionless.

The prince has stood up, but has his eyes closed.

At this time,

Emperor Yan focused his attention on the person in the first position of the first row on his left hand.

The monarch and his minister have supported each other for so many years. They have become accustomed to each other and have become almost instinctive.

Even without looking up to meet His Majesty's gaze, Zhao Jiulang knew that it was time for him, the Prime Minister, to come out.

Zhao Jiulang came out and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"It doesn't matter if Zaifu just says it."

"The bloodline of the Tian family is related to the foundation of our country, Yan State, and there is no room for carelessness or mistakes. Da Zongzheng is in this position. He said it with certainty before, but now he is vague and dare not say it clearly.

It is true. Taking the majesty and laws of the Heavenly Family as a trifle,

Chen,

Please punish Da Zongzheng for the crime of neglecting his duties;

Chen,

Please punish Da Zong for his crime of insulting the Heavenly Family;

My minister,

Please punish Da Zong for his crime of disrespect! ”

As soon as Zhao Jiulang finished speaking,

then,

All the ministers from various ministries stood up,

“I second my proposal!”

The Minister of Punishment even said directly:

“ Your Majesty, Da Zong is still afraid to speak out in the golden palace of Chaotang. Doesn’t it mean that there is no room for him to tell the truth in this magnificent palace?

This is a crime of contempt for the country's laws and contempt for the emperor! ”

After all the rows of guilt, no one would turn his back and say something like “execute” to the emperor’s uncle.

But look at today, in today’s world Everyone knows the indifference towards the clan, and Zaifu personally bears it Shu, after being charged with this crime, not only will Da Zongzheng lose his position, but he will also lose his title. For the close relatives, this is more uncomfortable than death.

Dazong Zheng closed his eyes,

Opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, what I have found out is that the young girl is the son of the prince!"

Da Zongzheng finally spoke out and gave the answer that anyone with a discerning eye would have understood.

"Oh?" Emperor Yan said, "Prince."

The prince knelt down again and said nothing.

The Emperor Yan did not question the prince, but stretched out his hand, pointed at Ji Chengjue who was kneeling below, and said:

"Chengjue, what's going on with you?"

"If I go back to my father, the person who has lost his moral integrity is indeed his son-in-law and has nothing to do with the prince."

Ji Chengjue continued to insist.

"Haha, this is quite interesting. It's interesting. I recuperated in the back garden for a while. After I came back, I was really a brother and sister who respected each other very much. Even this kind of immoral crime was not tolerated between brothers. They are all rushing to carry it on themselves.

You two,

It really makes me happy. "

"Dazongzheng, I ask you again, who is the evidence you investigated pointing to? "

"Your Majesty, this is the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince. "

"Cheng Jue, I will ask you again, who is the unethical person? "

"If I return to my father, I will do it myself. ”

Emperor Yan shook his head,

Finally,

his eyes fell on the prince,

said:

"Prince, who is it?"< br>

"Father...son and minister..."

The prince knelt even lower.

"Okay, okay."

The Emperor Yan stretched out his hand and slapped the dragon chair,

"I will make you all laugh."

The next moment,

Zheng Houye immediately followed the action of the big guys, bowed to the dragon chair together,

said in unison:

"I don't dare. ”

“I don’t dare. ”

"But since this matter is already like this, I want to see it clearly. I also ask all my dear friends to see it clearly with me.

Da Zongzheng,

I I want to ask you,

Where are the mother and daughter now?”

“If I return to Your Majesty, they are at the clan’s residence.”

"Wei Zhonghe."

"The slave is here!"

"Go and bring the person and the physical evidence, too, for everyone to see clearly."

" The slave obeys the order.”

Eunuch Wei immediately walked down the high platform of the Golden Palace, passed by the prince, then passed by Ji Chengjue, then passed by Da Zongzheng, and then, under the attention of the civil and military officials of the court, Walked out of the Golden Palace.

"I will give you three one last chance." Emperor Yan glanced at the three people kneeling below, "In a while, when Wei Zhonghe brings them over, I will not show you any mercy anymore."

The prince, the sixth prince, and Da Zongzheng

all three of them continued to kneel there, and no one retracted their confessions.

“Okay.”

Yan Huang slowly closed his eyes,

Said:

“Let’s see.”

…………

The Zongren Mansion is a big government office. He manages many people, including weddings and funerals of the royal family named Ji. Marriage has to be transferred from here, but unfortunately, his yamen is not big.

Because this yamen is full of parents who are short-lived, look up but not look down, and are all related to each other.

And since this generation of Emperor Yan succeeded to the throne, he transferred the power of money and food of the surname Ji that was originally controlled by the Zongren Mansion to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The money and food were not taken care of, so no matter whether the poor relatives or the rich relatives, they were really not very happy. You got it.

However, the airs of this yamen are still there.

At this time,

in the courtyard room behind the Zongren Mansion, Arou was handing a piece of shortbread to the girl in front of her.

The girl held the shortbread in both hands and took a bite,

Smiling:

"Mom, sweet."

Arou stretched out her hand to caress the girl's head.

At this time, she was wearing an old but very clean flowered jacket. She looked like a peasant woman, but in fact, the delicacy of a woman who had been born in the palace could not be concealed no matter what.

They are not in prison, nor can they be thrown into prison. Instead, they are being guarded in a private room, with someone responsible for three meals a day.

At the door, there were many government servants from the clan's mansion.

A Rou just watched the girl eating,

She remembered,

When she was very young, she was taken into the Min family by someone from the young lady’s family , the first food I got was peach cake.

She still remembered the sweet taste in her mouth when she took a bite.

In a flash,

so many years have passed.

At this time,

a group of people dressed in secret agent uniforms walked directly into the courtyard of the back room.

The leader took out his waist card and shouted to the Zongrenfu Yamen guarding here:

"I have been ordered by Eunuch Wei to pick up someone and hand him over quickly."

When the officials saw that they were from the Secret Service, they immediately got out of the way.

Arou heard the noise outside, stood up, and hugged the girl.

The girl raised her head and asked Arou very innocently:

"Mom, are you going to see daddy?"

Arou didn't answer,

just reached out and gently touched the girl's face.

However,

just when the people from the Secret Service were about to open the door of the wing, suddenly, an iron rod swept over and created a wave of air!

The two secret agents at the front who were about to open the door were knocked to the ground.

At the door,

a tall monk holding an iron rod appeared.

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous, who are you!"

The monk smiled,

He replied:

"The second enshrinement of Ning'an Escort Company, the leprous monk——Zhou Chang."

"Hahahaha..."

At this moment, On the roof above the wing, three more figures appeared.

A man in black robe, a woman in purple, and an old man with a hunchback holding a wine gourd.

The man in black robe shouted:

"Nanwang Trading Company is offering sacrifices to the black-faced ghost Liu Mingyang."

The woman in purple clothes smiled and said:

"Shanhai Guild Three offerings, Wu Ying.”

The old man took a sip of wine,

Shouting to the bottom;

"Jin Land, Qin Tuozi."

The four of them have all made famous names in the world. The most terrifying thing is that the four of them , all are fourth-grade masters!

Moreover,

To be able to summon so many chambers of commerce to worship in Yanjing City at once,

There was only one person,

Back then, the chief shopkeeper of the major chambers of commerce came to Yanjing to pay his respects to the young master in person.

These masters cannot be bought with gold or silver, they rely on favors!

The head of the Secret Intelligence Department was not afraid. All the gangsters around him were on alert with their knives drawn. He even shouted directly:

“This is the capital of Gyeonggi Province. If An dares to be so wanton, hurry up. Get out of the way quickly, otherwise, the secret agents and judicial network will be ruthless!”

Four fourth-level masters must be powerful, but they are not to the point where the Secret Agent is afraid.

As long as they dare to act recklessly here, the masters of the Secret Service will be dispatched in a moment, and at the same time, the Forbidden Army will immediately round up them.

"Haha, old man, I drank too much, but I heard clearly what the old man just said. Are you here to pick someone up on the order of Eunuch Wei?

Sure,

What about Eunuch Wei’s badge? The seal is also acceptable.

We are all good, law-abiding citizens. As long as the rules are correct, there will be no obstruction in keeping things. "

"Presumptuous, what qualifications do you have to watch! "

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. My boss has given instructions. Without an imperial edict or without Eunuch Wei's badge, we can't let this person be taken away by irrelevant people.

Otherwise, if the boss blames us, we will have to deduct our wine money. ”

In the wing house below,

Arou, who had been paying attention to what was happening outside, immediately showed a hint of anxiety in her eyes,

Then,

she suddenly lowered her head to look at the girl in her arms,

and then,

He reached out and pulled out a hairpin from his hair.

"Buzz!"

A cyan cyclone hit Arou's wrist directly, and the hairpin was knocked out.

Immediately,

Eunuch Zhang flashed out from the back room of the wing,

grabbed Ah Rou’s wrist with one hand,

The other hand slapped Ah Rou's face directly.

“Pa!”

Arou was slapped so hard that blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she stared at Eunuch Zhang in front of her in disbelief.

Eunuch Zhang sneered and scolded:

"Bitch!"(End of Chapter)
