Chapter 699 Conviction!


Chapter 699 Conviction!

"Your Majesty!"

A small yellow doorman walked in from outside the Golden Palace, knelt down in the center, and reported:

"When Wei Eunuch proposed to the emperor, The people's government has encountered a mutiny by some of the imperial troops and has now entered into a fierce battle."

"This..."

"What is going on..."

"Why is this happening..."

When the ministers heard the news, they were instantly shocked.

In the early years, the Forbidden Army also referred to the Forbidden Army camp outside the capital. However, with the outbreak of several foreign wars, the main body of the Forbidden Army in the past has long been split up. Nowadays, the Forbidden Army is mentioned again , refers only to the garrison troops and horses in the capital.

The capital garrison is in chaos?

Was there a mutiny?

The next moment,

the adults who were a little lazy because of waiting instantly turned their eyes to the two princes who were still kneeling in front of them.

Which of you wants to force me into the palace?

What a pity,

Can't ask.

Zheng Houye is true. He has been here before, and he has a general understanding of the structure of the Forbidden Army after entering the capital. How should I put it, the Forbidden Army seems to be a whole, but in fact it is also divided into seven parts in the capital. Seven or eighty-eight.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for someone to suddenly integrate the Forbidden Army in the capital to cause trouble. If it is just a small group of soldiers who are in rebellion...

Whether it is the prince or the big shots in the court, they are in the Forbidden Army. It can be done by cultivating a captain. Using a captain as a medium and then raising hundreds of people below is equivalent to using the military as a carrier to raise soldiers for oneself. This is not difficult.

But can’t Eunuch Wei solve this small mutiny?

It shouldn't be, and it's impossible.

In short,

Zheng Houye does not believe that anyone dares to send troops to force the palace at this time. That would be too underestimated the system of Dayan, the garrison outside the city, and at the same time, he also underestimated this dragon. Your Majesty in the chair.

However, Emperor Yan’s reaction surprised Zheng Fan.

“Haha, okay, okay, today is more exciting than I expected.”

Immediately afterwards,

Emperor Yan turned to look at the Great Yan Ping Xihou, who was standing alone with four seats.

"Ping Xihou accepted the order."

What do you want from me?

Zheng Fan came out and knelt down.

"I'm here!"

"He, the Chu State, once had four pillars, and I, the Great Yan, also had four pillars supporting the sky. Now, war is happening in Kyoto. I order you to mobilize troops outside the city as soon as possible. Ma entered the capital to calm the situation."

Zheng Houye took a deep breath,

and immediately said:

"I accept the order!"

"Ping Xihou, step forward to receive the Emperor's Sword, as if I were here in person."

Zheng Fan stood up and walked forward slowly.

In the past, walking up the steps was fine, but this time, when I walked up the steps of the Golden Palace, I clearly felt a difference.

Even though he had seen big scenes, he couldn't help feeling that his steps were a little heavy.

After all, this golden palace symbolizes the core area of ​​the highest power center of Dayan, and can even be said to be the core of the entire East.

The Emperor's Sword was originally hung on the golden dragon pillar on the side of the dragon chair.

Yanhuang did not get up to get it, but pointed to that side.

Zheng Fan walked over by himself and took down the Emperor Sword.

The Emperor's Sword is not heavy. Mr. Zheng has also played with several magical weapons. As soon as he takes it, touches it, and weighs it, he can understand that this is just an ordinary sword, nothing more than a scabbard. Inlaid with gold and hanging gems.

But, how should I put it, there are two types of divine weapons in the world, one is made by integrating various precious materials and supplemented by pattern formations, and the other is manifested by its owner. Light.

The Emperor's Sword is obviously the latter.

Zheng Fan held the sword,

facing Emperor Yan, and knelt down again.

"Go, there will be no chaos in the capital."

"I, obey the order."

Holding the sword, stand up.

Actually, Marquis Zheng has never thought about it. Now that Wei Zhonghe is away and he is so close to Emperor Yan, if he draws his sword, he will immediately become angry and the world will be in peace.

Of course, just thinking about it, he and Emperor Yan didn’t have any hatred to destroy the grandmother’s family, so why bother to compete with the princes for this anger?

He walked out of the Golden Palace in a grand manner,

Going down the steps outside,

My own Pixiu has also been prepared there early.

When Mr. Zheng turned over and turned Pi Xiu around, he suddenly remembered the scene where he stood on the steps and looked back when he went up the steps. At this moment, he stood at the bottom of the steps and looked up at the golden statue. The palace.

“Drive!”

Accompanied by a group of guards, Lord Zheng rode Pixiu straight out of the palace gate, and then headed towards the east gate without stopping.

Pixiu ran very excitedly because he could sense his master and felt a very strange excitement at this time.

Yes,

In Mr. Zheng's mind, he suddenly remembered the great and loyal Dong Zhuo in his memory, and thought about the arrogance and domineering Dong Zhuo when he entered Luoyang.

You must know that at this time, there are only a few people in the city who know that the two kings of the north and south are no longer in the capital.

If I can lead the Jingnan Army cavalry outside the city into the city, I will be able to directly enter the imperial city at any time and force Emperor Yan to abdicate and let Xiao Liuzi take the throne.

This complicated button was untied in an instant.

Of course, Marquis Zheng has not yet determined whether he will do this, but it does not prevent him from thinking about it first.

At the same time, he also knew that with Emperor Yan's wisdom, he would definitely have the means to counterattack him if he dared to send troops to Beijing.

Finally arrived at the east gate of the capital, but surprisingly found that the east gate was closed today.

“Who is coming!”

Down below, a group of soldiers stepped forward.

Are you blind?

Can’t you see what I’m riding?

Furthermore, Zheng Fan also saw the soldiers in front looking at him with fear and reverence. Obviously, they all knew who he was.

At this time, Zheng Fan raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand.

A guard in front immediately knelt down and shouted:

"Seeing the emperor's sword is like seeing the emperor, long live my emperor!"

A group of soldiers followed and shouted together.

"Long live my emperor!"

Zheng Houye squinted his eyes,

Oh,

His eyesight is so good, he can see it is the Emperor Sword from such a distance. You sleep with it every night, so you can recognize it at a glance, right?

Also,

Why do you feel like you are following the routine so clearly?

“Open the city gate.”

Zheng Houye shouted.

"Open the city gate!"

"Open the city gate!"

The city gate was slowly opened.

Outside the open city gate, teams of knights had already lined up and stood there.

“Haha.”

It was not the Jingnan Cavalry brought by Lao Tian from Litian City, but the Zhenbei Army stationed outside the capital belonging to Li Liangshen.

Zheng Fan rode Pixiu out of the city,

Now,

he was sure of one thing,

that is, today’s Great Court Meeting is not The two princes who claimed the title of legitimate son were fighting each other, and Emperor Yan actually had plans.

The son plays with the son,

I play with the father,

Yes,

I am the one who carries the flag and acts as the master of ceremony.

“Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!”

"Long live my emperor!"

The three guerrilla generals dismounted and knelt down in front of Zheng Fan, who was holding the Emperor's Sword.

"There is chaos in the capital. Your Majesty will give me the emperor's sword and send troops into the city to quell the chaos!"

"I am willing to listen to Lord Pingxi's dispatch!"

"I am willing. Listen to Lord Pingxi’s orders!”

Zheng Fan nodded, turned around and returned to the city. The cavalry filed in behind him.

Then they split into three groups behind Zheng Fan, with a general leading one group. They led their troops separately without waiting for Lord Zheng to tell them where to go and what to do.

“Heh.”

As a prince who mobilizes troops, I don’t even know where to go besides the clan’s mansion. You guys know better than me.

Zheng Fan looked at the Emperor Sword in his hand,

A sword is just a sword after all, and the emperor is still the emperor.

When I came out earlier, I was still thinking about Dong Zhuo, but in the end I was stupidly used as a gun without even realizing it.

These three groups of troops,

no matter what they do in the capital today,

the blame and influence will all fall on Zheng Fan's head.

In the future, history books will also record that it was he, Ping Xihou, who led troops into the capital under the imperial edict, causing...

Well,

I don’t know what will happen to him as the "chief culprit".

Sitting on Pixiu's back, Mr. Zheng closed his eyes.

I had been chased by Lao Tian several times before, but in fact I knew in my heart that Lao Tian was paving the way for himself. Sometimes the rejection is more like the younger brother acting coquettishly to the older brother, pretending to be pretentious.

But the real emperor, the real emperor, seems to have long been accustomed to treating all the people in the world and all the people in his court as chess pieces in his hands;

Maybe it is because he did not act step by step in the capital before. Development, so I didn’t feel this feeling deeply before.

Now,

I feel it.

There is nothing to be angry about, and nothing to be angry about. I don’t think I can be angry at all.

No matter why Emperor Yan is so energetic today, there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Zheng Fan firmly believes that the emperor will not last long.

Yes,

You continue to play,

You and your family, young and old, continue to play,

When you finish playing,

I'll play mine again.

…………

When Lord Zheng had just “mobilized” his troops into the city,

in the golden hall of the court,

that story about The case of the Tian family bloodline and the prince's immorality entered the real Gao Dynasty.

Wei Zhonghe led the people and brought Rougu and the girl in.

Eunuch Wei took the hood off Rou Gu’s head, and then slowly walked back to His Majesty.

The eyes of the ministers immediately focused on Rou Gu.

Including,

the two princes kneeling in front.

Ji Chengjue turned his head and looked at the woman.

He has always known the woman's identity. In the suicide note left by his grandfather, he left a lot of inheritance for his grandson.

Rou Gu is also among them.

But for a long time, he and Rougu had only been in a state of tacit understanding of each other.

She knows that she is the young master of the Min family,

He also knows her identity as a spy of the Min family;

The contact she has had so far is actually only three times.

Once,

she sent someone to tell her that the queen was here for a few days and at the same time, she had to prepare some medicine.

Once,

She sent someone to convey a message that she was pregnant, had the prince's flesh and blood, and planned to leave the palace to guard the queen's mausoleum.

The last time,

she wrote that she had given birth, a baby girl.

This is a very secret spy, concise and to the point, but it gives an early warning and turns himself into a trap, always ready to sacrifice for his master.

The prince turned to look at him, and what came to his mind was that night when she took off her clothes and hugged herself on the bed.

When he subconsciously wanted to,

she pushed him away gently,

telling:

Your Highness, I am from the Min family.

……

Ji Laoliu subconsciously looked at where Zheng Fan was standing before.

Unlike other people's reactions when they heard that the two kings of the north and south left Beijing, they might think that the situation in Beijing would no longer be stable again.

But Ji Laoliu believes that now, who can restrain his father?

My father asked Zheng Fan to mobilize his troops,

Haha,

Is it because the father himself wants to send troops in?

Lao Si’s soldiers are in the imperial city, and another foreign soldier is sent in. What does the father want to do?

On the dragon throne, Emperor Yan looked at Rougu kneeling below.

How could he not recognize his queen’s personal maid.

Soon,

Emperor Yan's eyes fell on the girl,

asked:

"Whose child is it?"

The emperor's voice was full of irresistible majesty. .

Rou Gu had stayed with the Queen for many, many years and was very familiar with the Emperor, but it was precisely because of this familiarity that she understood even more how terrifying the Emperor was.

She did not dare to look at the emperor on the dragon throne, but looked at the prince and the sixth prince kneeling in front of him.

She was actually a little confused.

The chess pieces were chess pieces after all. They were on the chessboard, but they couldn't see the overall situation.

However, the sudden appearance of the killer made one thing clear to her, that is, things did not go as she and the prince had expected.

She bit her lip.

Perhaps,

when she was here, she understood more and more what a regret and mistake she had made in not dying in the wing.

Because she had no idea what she should say at this time and which direction she should go in.

"The child was brought by my slave."

Rou Gu replied.

The ministers present looked at each other in confusion.

Emperor Yan leaned back.

At this time,

several eunuchs came over with a bag of things and opened it in front of the ministers.

Wei Zhonghe reported: "Your Majesty, this is brought by the slave. The evidence collected by the master has been examined by the servant. It contains the personal jade pendant of His Highness the Crown Prince and many items from the East Palace."


Zhao Jiulang came out of the queue, looked at Rougu, and asked:

"What's the explanation for this?"

Rougu said: "This slave has met Master Zaifu."< br>
Zhao Jiulang looked calm.

Rou Gu continued: "Many of the ladies of the adults here have met my servant. I once served Empress Daxing, and it is normal to have some items from the East Palace around her."

"Oh?"

"This slave originally guarded the mausoleum of Queen Daxing. Later, she felt lonely, so she adopted a child from among the people and kept her by her side as a sustenance."

"Oh?"

Zhao Jiulang looked at Da Zongzheng who was kneeling there,

said:

"Dazong Zheng, you once said that it was this woman who told you that her child is the blood of the prince. Now..."

Maybe,

most of the people in the main hall are , my mind is dizzy now.

There is still a small half of the people who are on tenterhooks.

The one who is the most open-minded, the most open-minded, and the most relaxed is undoubtedly Ji Chengjue.

He had already won when he made the right bet on who Rougu would stand by and dig holes for.

Of course, there is a premise: the person must be alive and she must be allowed to speak.

Say it, say it,

Let’s see how you can go on.

Originally, in the plan of the prince and Rou Gu, Rou Gu and the child were arrows sent to him by the prince on his own initiative, waiting for him to shoot the arrow at the prince.

This is the default scenario at the beginning, in the main hall.

Brother Prince, the performance is very good, very realistic, and the lost look is just right.

Of course, Xu has had many experiences of being lost in the past few years, so he is naturally familiar with it.

According to their vision,

In the next step,

Things will take a turn for the worse.

Rou Gu will be brought to the main hall.

At that time, things will become extremely big.

Satisfied, he asked Rou Gu to fulfill her mission as a dead soldier of the Min family and deliver a fatal blow to the prince, causing the prince's complete collapse.

But in the eyes of the prince, Rougu would reveal her identity as a dead member of the Min family, and then point the source of the conspiracy at herself, slandering the prince with the remnants of the Min family.

The younger brother bullied the elder brother, the minister bullied the king, but in the great hall, under the witness of the ministers, a big reversal occurred.

The only one who is finished is myself.

This should have been the established process and expected result of both parties.

But,

his kneeling interrupted all the rhythm.

Of course, kneeling or not is just a foreshadowing. It can also be understood as a hypocritical brother-in-law relationship, but it still has sinister intentions.

But why did the prince panic? Because he knew that he didn't have to kneel. He knew that as his younger brother, he would not play any hypocritical manner at this time.

So, the prince knew that something was wrong, and this was the reason why the prince was panicking.

Because, this bureau has already started.

"This...this...that..."

In fact, Da Zongzheng had already noticed that something was wrong, and it was also due to His Highness's kneeling.

Da Zongzhengji Changwang is the person who holds two scripts from two families.

But in both scripts, it was not written that His Highness the Sixth Prince would suddenly kneel down and shout: It belongs to him!

The most important thing is that at that time, he could not change his story because the emperor asked him for evidence, and it was impossible for him to prepare a temporary evidence that the child was really the sixth prince, nor to find another one. Evidence that the child is another prince.

In fact, Da Zongzheng supported the prince more and believed that the prince would have the last laugh. In addition, with the prince’s promise, he finally chose to stand on the prince’s boat, even if he was in the Liuye Party , also belong to their own people.

Rou Gu, when she failed to commit suicide, had already changed her confession when she came to the Golden Palace.

As a spy, no, even leaving aside her background as a secret spy, the experience of living beside the Queen in the harem for so many years was enough for her vision and eyes to quickly notice. Something is wrong.

So, she chose the third answer, which was completely different from the first two. She wanted to jump out for the sake of the prince.

But Da Zongzheng fell into it.

“What are you hesitating about, Ji Changwang, as a great sect leader, you have repeatedly covered up important matters related to the stability of the country, such as the bloodline of the Tian family, what are your intentions!< br>


In front of His Majesty,

In front of hundreds of officials,

could it be possible that you have any secrets that you cannot tell?

Or, do you want your colleagues, or even Your Majesty, to come and beg you to speak?

Ji Changwang, you are deceiving the emperor and should be executed! ”

"I..."

Maybe it was because Zhao Jiulang was pressing harder and harder, or maybe because of the situation at this time, Ji Changwang was under great pressure and had reached a certain limit. .

My heart skipped a beat,

I glanced at the prince. As long as the prince ascends the throne in the future, whatever I do today will be exempted by the new emperor.

Opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, it was His Highness the Sixth Prince who asked me to frame the Crown Prince in the palace!"

"Oh."

Ji Chengjue, who was kneeling on the ground, had a smile on his lips.

Why choose Da Zongzheng?

It is not necessary that someone from the Zongren Mansion comes to report. Other ministers can also be stopped on the road by someone in a carriage or sedan chair to complain about injustice, and ask Mr. Qingtian to make the decision for our mother and daughter.

In fact,

There are really many ministers who are two-faced, stepping on two boats and waiting for a price.

Choose Ji Changwang because he is a waste.

When my grandfather's generation seized the throne, it was a tragedy. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion came forward, and Dayan almost started a civil war. The situation was not inferior to the rebellion among the princes of the Chu Kingdom in the past few years.

That’s it, Ji Changwang can still survive;

To be valued by his grandfather, and then to be valued by his father, and now to be valued by himself,

This proves,

What a loser Ji Changwang is. Only then can the three generations be reassured.

The breakthrough is actually not with Rou Gu, but with Ji Changwang!

At this time,

A voice came from outside the Golden Palace:

"Honglu Temple Shaoqing Lu Bing asks for an audience."

"Xuan."

Lu Bing, still in armor, walked away Entering the palace, he looked at His Majesty and the princes kneeling on the ground.

Soon,

He knelt down and said:

"I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor!"

Many ministers saw Lu Bing, a civil servant in armor, and made a sound of surprise, but then they I thought of a certain rumor and realized it immediately.

It has been rumored that His Majesty has another yamen that is separated from the Secret Intelligence Department and is responsible for monitoring the officials. If we think about the relationship between Lu Bing and His Majesty, the result of the guess is ready to come out.

Yanhuang asked:

"Why was Lu Aiqing absent from today's court meeting?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, His Highness the Sixth Highness personally came to the door last night to report to the minister that Ji Changwang, the most authentic member of the Zongren Mansion, sent someone to inform him that he had obtained the prince's blood from the people. This is also evidence of the prince’s immorality!
Your Highness is afraid that there are people with evil intentions who want to do harm to the prince and the country.

He is also afraid that the Tianjia scandal will break out and damage the Tianjia's face.

Even more afraid of what might happen. It’s true that we are of the same flesh and blood as the Tian family and encountered unexpected events,

I implore you to investigate this matter thoroughly!

Now I have found evidence that Ji Changwang colluded with the palace. All members of Ji Changwang’s family have been arrested and sent to prison! "

"..." Ji Changwang. (End of this chapter)
