Invincible son

Chapter 664 663 [What seems to be in the world] ([-])

"Pei Yue, how dare you assassinate the emperor! You should punish the nine clans!"

Xingliang Fu Yin and Duan Wang Liu Xiang's beard and hair are all stretched out, and their voices are like thunder.

All of Emperor Zhongzong's brothers have passed away except him. In other words, he is the only elder of Emperor Kaiping, and he is also the clan with the highest status in the entire Tianjia today.The grief and anger on his face at the moment didn't look like a disguise, after all the emperor was poisoned in the palace, and even he, the prefect of Xingliang, could not escape the accountability of the courtiers.

Pei Yue seemed to forcibly calm down from the panic. He first looked at Wang Pingzhang with a gloomy face, and then said sternly, "My lord, don't spout blood."

Liu Xiang roared angrily: "How dare you say that this king is spitting blood? Just half an hour ago, His Majesty was doing well. Apart from this king, those generals under your command could also see clearly. Your Majesty asked you to accompany me to dinner, Only His Majesty and you are in this side hall, now that His Majesty is suddenly poisoned, is there any need to argue who the murderer is?"

He turned his head to look at Wang Pingzhang and the others, gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone is a pillar of the imperial court, are you just watching this kind of traitor murder His Majesty?"

Although everyone was still in extreme shock, they did not take up Liu Xiang's words, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed particularly strange for a while.

Pei Yue asked in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness Duan, you said that I was responsible for your majesty's poisoning. How dare I ask why I did this?"

"Because of you—" Liu Xiang blurted out, but immediately changed his words: "I don't know the reason why you did such a rebellious thing, but your majesty's poisoning is definitely related to you!"

Han Gongduan, a member of the Eastern Mansion with a pale face, frowned and scolded: "Lord Duan, the most important thing right now is to escort His Majesty back to the palace, and then summon the palace and folk doctors to diagnose and treat His Majesty. The matter is not yet clear, but I don't know why you want to Shout out here!"

Liu Xiang's face turned red, and he almost couldn't breathe.

He has been away from the court for decades, and has been dominating the Xingliang Mansion. The only person he fears is Emperor Kaiping.Right now the emperor is like a living dead, wondering if he will see the sunshine of tomorrow, he is naturally no longer afraid, subconsciously wants to take the initiative in the field, and regards these important ministers as flattering villains who usually follow by his side.

However, only one sentence from Han Gongduan made him wake up. Looking at the cold eyes of the new Canzheng, Liu Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and still defended himself: "Han Shenzheng, this king is just a moment of anger, not—"

Pei Yue interrupted him indifferently, looked to the other side and asked, "Doctor Wang, are you sure that His Majesty is really poisoned?"

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of all the dignitaries, Imperial Physician Wang replied tremblingly, "Villain... I can't be sure."

Wang Pingzhang said coldly: "What's going on? Tell me!"

Doctor Wang said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty's pulse condition is extremely weak, and the whole person seems to be in a closed state. He can't hear or see, and has almost no consciousness. The villain has never seen such symptoms, and there is no record in the medical books. , I can only confirm that His Majesty is not suddenly seriously ill, so the villain speculates that it is poisoning."

Wang Pingzhang frowned, glanced at the pale Emperor Kaiping, and asked, "Is there any way to wake up His Majesty?"

Doctor Wang bowed his head and said, "No."

Wang Pingzhang looked at Han Gongduan who was standing next to him, and was about to ask, when there was a sudden noise outside the room, and then three princes rushed in in a panic.They rushed to the emperor's bed together with panicked eyes and mournful expressions, then knelt down and wept bitterly, calling father emperor repeatedly.

Seeing these princes being so pure and filial, Han Gongduan felt quite emotional, and stepped forward to persuade them, which gradually made them stop crying.

The eldest prince's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said, "Han participates in politics, what is going on?"

Han Gongduan briefly explained the previous matter.

After the second prince heard this, he jumped up from the ground, rushed towards Pei Yue like a fierce beast, and roared fiercely: "How dare you murder Emperor Father? This king will kill you now!"

Looking at this scene, Liu Xiang felt extremely refreshed.

Pei Yue squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the ferocious and distorted face of the second prince who was close at hand, but at this moment he completely calmed down.

The second prince raised his fist just now, but he couldn't swing it at all. He twisted and looked at the first prince who grabbed his wrist, with disbelief on his face.

The eldest prince shook his head and said, "Liu Yun, don't forget that today at the Circular Mound Altar, it was Pei Yue who risked his life to block the assassins for his father. You and I both witnessed the situation at that time. If he hadn't been loyal to his father, How could Pei Yue not even care about his own life or death? If he wants to murder his father, he only needs to slow down a little during the day, why should he wait until this time to be alone with his father, and arouse suspicion that cannot be cleared?"

Even Pei Yue was slightly surprised when the words came out.

Is this still the reckless man who sent someone to Lingzhou to assassinate him when he didn't agree with each other?

The First Prince let go of his hands, looked around the crowd and said, "My lords, I will go to the capital to call for the opening of the city gate, and then I will ask Luo Zhizheng and Gu Junji to preside over the overall situation in the capital. Wei Guogong, I will leave this place to you, please bring the imperial guards with you." Escort father and emperor back to Beijing."

Wang Pingzhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness."

He looked at Pei Yue, with a coldness in his deep eyes, and said slowly: "Marquis Zhongshan, I believe in your loyalty and character, but this is a big matter, you can no longer take military power until your majesty wakes up .”

Everyone was shocked.

Pei Yue asked calmly, "What does Wei Guogong mean by this?"

Wang Pingzhang has a tall and straight figure, and his gray hair on the temples is neatly combed, like an old tiger that can still scare Xiaoxiao.He glanced at the commander of the court guards and the general of the forbidden army who appeared outside the door, and said to Pei Yue solemnly: "In any case, you cannot get rid of the suspicion of assassinating His Majesty now. Go to the post of Deputy Commander of the Northern Battalion of the Beijing Army, and after the truth of this matter is revealed, His Majesty will decide."

Pei Yue thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely tense.

Wang Pingzhang said in a deep voice, "You want to disobey orders?"

Pei Yue said: "Duke Wei, I have nothing to do with His Majesty's poisoning. The wine and dishes in this hall are prepared by the palace. Can I poison the wine and vegetables in front of His Majesty? Or force the poison to His Majesty? Another, I am Deputy Commander of the Beijing Camp, you have no right to dismiss me from the military."

The appointment and dismissal power of the West Mansion was limited to the level of commanders. The candidates for the commanders and deputy commanders of all the big camps in Daliang needed the emperor's nod. In fact, the commanders of many important guards also needed the emperor's approval.

However, no one cared about this kind of thing at the moment. While savoring the first half of Pei Yue's sentence, they all looked at Duan Wang Liu Xiang standing beside him in unison.

The palace has always been under the jurisdiction of the Xingliang Mansion, and Liu Xiang is in charge of all the people and affairs in it. In addition, Liu Xiang couldn't wait to charge Pei Yue with treason, and things suddenly turned to another direction. direction development.

Liu Xiang took a step back involuntarily, his face panicked.
