Invincible son

Chapter 676 675 [What seems to be in the world] (final)
"Wei Guogong, there is no soldier around Pei Yue now, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you were so frightened by him in Xingliang Mansion that you couldn't even see the situation clearly?"

Liu Zan said coldly, with a look of hostility on his face.

When Wang Pingzhang heard the word situation, his eyes were extremely deep, and he suddenly fell silent.

Pei Yue looked at the soldiers of the garrison all around him, and the officials standing opposite Liu Zan, and said indifferently: "The eldest prince has already explained the details of last night, but it's a pity that many people are blind, or don't want to believe it." King Yan, you forced His Highness the Sixth Highness to utter words of frame on the city wall, slandering His Highness and me for conspiring to assassinate His Majesty, thanks to the fact that so many people are willing to believe you."

He paused for a moment, his manner gradually turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "After your Majesty was poisoned, I asked His Second Highness and Sixth Highness to report back to Beijing in front of Wei Guogong and others, but only Sixth Highness appeared today. What I'm curious about is , you can't wait so impatiently to kill the Second Highness overnight, right?"

"What nonsense!"

Liu Zan was furious, and said sharply: "Sixth brother deduced that you would join forces with Gu Liang to seize the capital, so he took the initiative to report to the king. As for what you said, how can you take it seriously, even if you let the two princes return to the capital on the surface, Who can guarantee that you didn't do it secretly? Last night Xingliang Mansion City and even the entire palace were in your hands, no one can stop you from doing what you want to do."

Pei Yue smiled lightly, then looked at the only two soldiers around him.

Without hesitation, the person on the left immediately took out the fireworks in his arms and issued them.

It resounded over the sky of Kyoto.

The soldiers of the garrison were shocked, and quickly narrowed the encirclement, pointing at the few people in the middle like a forest of spears.

Luo Ting angrily reprimanded: "Stop!"

Wang Pingzhang also frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

However, the two squad leaders, civil and military, did not repel these fierce soldiers when they opened their mouths. They just looked at Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang, standing beside Liu Zan in unison.It's not that they haven't heard of the prestige of Wang Pingzhang and Luo Ting, it's just that the Kyoto garrison, like the imperial army, has never accepted the control of the two governments.They are well-paid and highly motivated, and except for their own generals, they only obey the will of the emperor.

Right now Emperor Kaiping can't wake up, and the eldest prince is suspected of murdering the king and his father, Liu Zan and Zhang Wu are the only ones who can command these soldiers.

Liu Zan's face was gloomy, and he was about to give an order when he suddenly heard a cold female voice from behind.

"Second Highness is here, get out of the way!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw three people appearing outside the garrison soldiers, the second prince and Qi Wang Liu Yun were standing on the left, and Ye Qi was on the right.

She holds a gun in her left hand and a knife in her right, with the blade resting on the neck of a young man.

The man was none other than Wei Zhuang who led the attack on Dingguo Mansion last night.

Seeing the faces of these three people, Liu Zan felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.

The second prince stared at Liu Zan in the distance, his eyes seemed to be on fire, wishing he could swallow the fourth brother alive, and scolded sharply: "Liu Zan, you bastard who kills kings and brothers, everyone has to kill him!"

There was an uproar.

If it is said that the first prince might conspire with Pei Yue to assassinate the emperor, then the words of the second prince directly negate his suspicion.It is difficult to judge father and son in imperial power, this is the truth that all learned people have learned from history books, but when the eldest prince and the second prince, who have never dealt with each other, stand together, then the officials must consider the truth of the matter.

Although Conglong Zhigong is very tempting, they have to think clearly about the consequences. A little carelessness will lead to the death of the entire family of the Nine Clans!
Liu Yun's personality was a bit irritable, and he didn't need others to ask. He stood in the distance and shouted at Liu Zan like a cannonball: "You are in collusion with this old bastard Liu Xiang, let him poison the palace, and then imprisoned me. You even forced the sixth younger brother to do things for you in front of my face. I never thought that you would be so vicious, murdering your father and framing your brother, and taking advantage of the chaos to seize the capital. Do you think you can ascend to the throne by doing this? Let me tell you, Don't dream of your Spring and Autumn Dreams here!"

Liu Zan watched him berate him one after another, and there was a voice in his heart telling him that he must make a decision early, but when he turned around, he saw Luo Ting and Wang Pingzhang looking at him indifferently, and even those courtiers who had pledged their allegiance to him showed signs of indifference. With remorse and fear, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably for a moment.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Pei Yue who was near the imperial chariot, and this time he finally saw the sarcasm in the other's eyes clearly.

Prince Duan Liu Xiang was in a state of chaos, and he kept shouting: "Second Prince, don't want to spout blood, why does this king want to poison His Majesty? It is clearly Pei Yue's wolfish ambition, and he wants to rebel!"

"fart!"

Liu Yun said angrily: "You old man dare to talk nonsense. Pei Yue was a second-class prince when he was weak and crowned, and his father valued him so much. He has a sick mind to rebel! It's obviously you, an old bastard. Wanting to turn Xingliang Mansion into the foundation of Prince Duan's Mansion, that's why he's working hand in hand with Liu Zan, damn it!"

Liu Zan roared: "That's enough! Liu Yun, don't talk nonsense, the king and the emperor's uncle have never been in touch! What evidence do you have to prove that the poisoning was done by the emperor's uncle? What evidence do you have to prove that this is not the case?" What did Pei Yue do?"

Liu Yun sneered: "I don't have one, so do you?"

Liu Zan said: "Of course!"

He suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Pei Yue, gritted his teeth and said, "He is not of Dingguo blood at all, but a descendant of the Xian family of the Chu State Mansion back then. Pei Yuan secretly took in this person after the Xian family plotted against him, and then Pei Zhen raised him Great. If not, how could Pei Rong regard him as an enemy? Even Goulian Bandit would kill him? It is because of this traitor that the Pei family cannot re-enter the army!"

The venue suddenly fell silent.

All eyes immediately focused on Pei Yue.

Pei Yue took two steps forward, looked up at Liu Zan, who had a ferocious face, and said slowly: "Is this the truth that Pei Yuantuomeng told you?"

Even in such a tense situation, some people still couldn't help but want to laugh, and the shock caused by Liu Zan's words was relieved a lot.

Liu Zan only felt a fishy smell welling up in his throat.

Fortunately, he was not alone. Marquis of Fengcheng Li Bingzhong stood up and said to the crowd: "Everyone, I am very clear about these things when my daughter married Pei Rong of Dingguo. What His Royal Highness King Yan said is true. Please think about it, If not for Pei Yue being a descendant of the Xian family, why would Pei Rong be so harsh on a bastard? So much so that he can’t feel at ease even if he doesn’t die? Needless to say, the past is a secret in the pile of old papers, but future generations have to bear the consequences , that’s why these accidents happened.”

He paused, and continued: "As far as I know, the maid named Taohua next to Pei Yue is Zhou Ren, and this is the ironclad proof that he and Nan Zhou are hooked up!"

Liu Zan calmed down, and immediately added: "Because he is a remnant of the Xian family, so he took the opportunity to poison the emperor without a good future. He didn't want to rebel at all, but just wanted to use this method to cause civil strife in Daliang! "

I have to say that the harmony between these two people is very powerful, especially at this moment when they can't go into details in a hurry, which makes some people's balance tilt towards Liu Zan.

Dang even someone echoed: "Pei Yue wrote a poem called Su Muzhe in the name of that peach blossom, and there is evidence that his heart is towards Nan Zhou."

Facing the scrutinizing eyes of his surroundings, Pei Yue said calmly: "King Yan's eloquence is good, and his cooperation with Li Bingzhong is also very good. This story is indeed fascinating with ups and downs. However, I also have a story. I don't know if King Yan would dare Listen?"

Without waiting for Liu Zan to answer, he said loudly: "A month ago, I was assassinated on Yulong Street, and I was very interested in one of the masters. Later, I found out that the so-called assassination was secretly instigated by King Yan, so I sent myself Unexpectedly, after Master Shen went back to investigate, he found that the master had a very deep relationship with the Xian family back then."

"36 years ago, the Xian family was exterminated because of treason. However, as one of the nine founders of the country, the top noble mansion, the family members were unknown, and of course it was impossible to kill them all. Many people survived. These people hid in the Duzhong, after waiting for many years, finally got the opportunity to use King Yan's ambition to start planning big things."

"Master Shen, please help me prove it."

With a smile on his face, Pei Yue looked at the middle-aged man and dozens of Taige crows who appeared behind Ye Qi in the distance.

Everyone was shocked, and turned their heads to look quickly, only to see Silent Cloud approaching quietly, with a look of wind and frost on their faces.

He looked at Liu Zan who was flustered, and said slowly: "What Pei Yue said is true."

Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang, approached Liu Zan quietly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you continue to stop, you will be disturbed!"

Liu Zan had already seen Luo Ting leading the courtiers he brought to Pei Yue's side, and some of the courtiers who were originally loyal to him also moved.With the appearance of the second prince and Shen Moyun, the situation has gradually become clearer. At this time, his only chance is to use his military power to forcibly kill those who stand in front of him.

But how difficult is it to make this determination?

Look at the people around Pei Yue, Wang Pingzhang, Han Gongduan, Luo Ting, Huang Rentai and the silent cloud in the distance, these people are the pillars of the country, if they refuse to support Liu Zan, even if Liu Zan is determined to kill them all Kill them all, can the court survive?

But if he didn't do this, as long as Shengjia enters the palace and the court starts normal investigation procedures, all his plans will be in vain, and his long-cherished wish of ascending the throne will also come to naught.

Time passed bit by bit, and there was a suffocating atmosphere in the air.

Liu Zan's eyes were red, he looked at Zhang Wu, gritted his teeth and said sharply: "The guards and soldiers obey the order, let me kill these rebellious officials and thieves on the spot!"

"kill!"

Suddenly, the sound of war drums resounded all around.

On the long street on the north side of the square, an endless line of elite infantry came forward, and the leader was Guangping Hou Guliang.

Liu Zan only felt dizzy for a while. Although the garrison division had 3 people, there were only 5000 people near the north gate, because he had to divide his troops to surround the Guangping Hou Mansion and Zhongshan Hou Mansion, and also left some troops to garrison other places. .Originally, these 5000 people were enough to deal with Pei Yue who entered the city alone, but he never expected that Gu Liang would conjure up an elite infantry out of thin air!
Pei Yue looked at Liu Zan, who was almost crazy, and said calmly: "Don't be surprised, these pawns are Wu Dingwei, and the Wu Dingwei outside the city is actually Pingnanwei."

Liu Zan suddenly understood that he once told the dead Duan Jiu in the palace that the whole thing was actually a mutual calculation between him and Emperor Kaiping, and both sides were hiding backhands and schemes.However, after Emperor Kaiping decided to go to Xingliang Mansion to sacrifice to heaven, Pei Yue played a trick in the next seven days, secretly dismantling the Wuding Guard's infantry and hiding them in the capital.

This is the real reason why Gu Liang didn't make a move all night.

Liu Zan thought of the second prince who was rescued by Ye Qi again, a flash of lightning exploded in his mind at this moment, and his body trembled involuntarily.

The reason why Pei Yue asked the two princes to return to the capital overnight was to try and set up a trap. If Liu Zan could stop on the precipice, then everything would be normal.But if he wanted to use these two people to do something, he would fall into a trap. The sudden appearance of the second prince just now was the fatal blow to change the situation.

Including the holy car, more than ten important officials stood beside Pei Yue, facing the swords and guns of the soldiers of the garrison without the slightest fear.

Gu Liang was leading the army, and with his prestige in the army and Wu Dingwei's strength, there was no suspense in this battle.

The five thousand soldiers of the garrison were so nervous that they could not breathe, they all looked at Liu Zan and Zhang Wu, waiting for their orders.

Zhang Wu said ferociously, "Your Highness!"

Liu Zan was like a gambler in a dead end, he waved his hand abruptly and said, "Kill!"

The soldiers of the garrison division began to advance forward, and Wu Dingwei in the distance began to charge faster under the leadership of Gu Liang.

With the situation at stake, Pei Yue glanced at the dignified ministers beside him, stepped forward without hesitation, faced the soldiers' swords and guns and shouted angrily: "Pei Yue, the chief defense officer of the Great Liang Shengjia camp, is here! Anyone who is good at using weapons today, Whole family copy, behead and kill without pardon!"

The eldest prince took a deep breath, and immediately followed him: "Da Liang's eldest prince Liu Xian is here! Do you want to rebel?"

The rest of the important ministers didn't understand the importance of timing, so they stood up firmly.

"Wang Pingzhang, the left military officer of the Daliang Military Academy, is here!"

"The right ruling Luo Ting of Daliang Political Affairs Hall is here!"

"Huang Rentai, the censor of Daliang Yushitai, is here!"

"Han Gongduan, who participates in politics at Daliang Political Affairs Hall, is here!"

"Ning Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Liang Dynasty, is here!"

"Daliang Charcoal Temple Supervisor Jian Rong is here!"

……

Majestic voices sounded one after another, and everyone turned to look at Pei Yue after they finished speaking.

The soldiers of the garrison division were startled by these voices. Looking at the more than ten dignitaries standing in front of Shengjia, they didn't dare to move forward for a while.

When the last voice fell to the ground, Pei Yue took a deep breath and said sternly: "Sir, do you dare to rebel? Put down your weapons and you will be spared the death penalty. Violators will be punished by treason and rebellion!"

After a brief silence.

A soldier of the garrison dropped his spear, and immediately, like a chain reaction, the sound was connected together, and [-] soldiers of the garrison bowed their heads on the spot.

No one holds a weapon anymore.

At this time, Gu Liang had brought Wu Dingwei to the front.

Liu Zan looked at Pei Yue who seemed to represent the entire imperial court in the distance, then looked at Zhang Wu and Li Bingzhong who were still around, and suddenly laughed miserably.

"Pei Yue, I'm going to kill you!"

Liu Zan pulled out Zhang Wu's saber with his backhand, and rushed to the opposite side like crazy.

With calm eyes, Pei Yue stepped forward and kicked Liu Zan back.

Today, he is no longer the weak and helpless bastard, but a top expert who can stand side by side with Ye Qi, and one of the few people who can influence the fate of this empire.

Liu Zan spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled to stand up, and looked at the still silent imperial chariot in the distance.

There was a dead silence in the square, and the summer wind was blowing his messy hair.

Pei Yue stepped forward slowly, and said calmly, "Why bother dying? In fact, you can retain your last dignity."

Liu Zan supported his body with a knife, and said viciously: "I am the son of my father, the prince of Daliang, and you are just a lowly bastard. It is the Tian family who gave you a chance to make you climb up. You Why teach me? Are you worthy?!"

Pei Yue frowned and said: "I am indeed born as a concubine, and I am nothing compared to the prince. However, I know what is called etiquette, righteousness and shame, unlike you, Your Highness, who looks dignified on the surface, but actually has a heart like a snake and a scorpion." .”

He stared into Liu Zan's eyes and asked, "Do you know why I couldn't trust you from the beginning to the end?"

Liu Zan looked at him resentfully.

Pei Yue said softly: "From the first time I saw you, your eyes can't hide your ambition and desire. In other words, your acting skills are too bad."

Although this was the first time Liu Zan heard this word, he could understand the meaning from Pei Yue's tone and demeanor. From the beginning to the end, he was just an ambitious clown in Pei Yue's eyes.

His body trembled uncontrollably.

Pei Yue shook his head, turned and walked towards the imperial chariot.

Suddenly, there was a soft cry from all around.

Pei Yue didn't look back, he knew that Liu Zan's only option was to commit suicide, even if this person wanted to live on, Emperor Kaiping would not accept it.Killing his father and brother has obviously crossed the emperor's bottom line. Just as the emperor said in the palace last night, he never forced Liu Zan from the beginning, let alone let his sons fight beasts. Today's ending is Liu Zan's own choice.

The officials had different expressions, some were worried, some were panicked, and some were pale.

Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang committed suicide, and Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng, knelt and kowtowed.

Everyone knows that this matter is not over, but will be the beginning of a big purge.

In other words, the fate of many of them rested in the hands of the young man walking towards the imperial chariot.

Pei Yue became the focus of all eyes, but he didn't get too excited.

Looking up at the clear sky, the sun is shining and the scenery is just right.
