Chapter 366: Heartbroken

Apocalypse Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The two of them came to Prince Yu and bowed and saluted: "Zhang Xingfan and Zhang Ligao are bowing to Prince Yu. We are the deputy commanders of the personal guards of the Marquis of Wu'an. We are sending petitions from the 30 soldiers in the north on the order of Marquis Wu'an." Come to the Imperial Capital.”

As soon as the news fell, all the civil and military officials were shocked. It seemed that Yang Yuqing's incident had aroused the anger of the northern army, so Wu'an Hou wrote to the court in the name of the 30-strong army!But the emperor was at Linfengdu, so why was the memorial sent all the way to the imperial capital instead of Linfengdu?How is this going?

Prince Yu Murongtang did not go to receive the memorial, but asked: "What happened to Zhang Xingfan, Zhang Ligao, and Yang Yuqing? Tell me in detail."

Zhang Xingfan and Zhang Ligao bowed and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"On the night when Dai Viet paid the capital reduction, more than a dozen men in black sneaked into the northern military camp with the intention of assassinating the Marquis. These people were all very skilled in martial arts. Moreover, the direction of their attack was very clear, which shows that they knew the location of the commander's camp very well. Location."

"Not only that, during the battle between us and the men in black, nearly 5000 people appeared in front of the military camp to raid the military camp. At that time, Dai Viet's 20 soldiers had not yet been sent away, and the northern soldiers were scattered around to guard. Due to insufficient defense, this 5000-man surprise attack further dispersed the strength of the northern military camp."

"During our fight with the man in black, Mr. Hou was unfortunately seriously injured. But just as Mr. Hou was injured, another man in black suddenly appeared. As soon as that person appeared, he attacked Mr. Hou from behind. The fight was fierce at that time. No one noticed, but it was the second lady who blocked the sword for the Marquis."

"Your Majesty, after that man seriously injured the second lady, he still tried to kill them all and wanted to kill the Marquis. But that man was extremely skilled. Even the Crown Prince and Yang Qing couldn't stop him."

"Fortunately, the Eleventh Prince drove away in time and stopped the man's sword. Later, the Crown Prince and the Eleventh Prince joined forces to capture this man alive."

"It was also at this time that we were able to lift the man's black cloth mask, and we could see the man's face clearly. That man was Yang Yuqing, the left minister of the Ministry of War. All the soldiers in the northern border were shocked and angry!"

"My lord, that night, the second lady was seriously injured and eventually died! That night, many soldiers from the northern border were also injured and even died tragically!"

Hearing those words, all the civil and military officials in the palace were filled with shock, and many people shouted angrily:

"Asshole, the night attack with so many people is obviously premeditated."

"That's right, this Yang Yuqing dared to harm the soldiers of Tianqi. He really committed a heinous crime and deserved death!"

"That's right, bastard, the Northern soldiers worked so hard to fight this battle, but he dared to assassinate their commander at this time."

"This man should be cut into pieces with thousands of swords and the nine tribes destroyed." The civil and military officials in the hall were shouting angrily.

Zhang Lifan shouted: "My lords, this is not all."

Many people exclaimed: "What! There's more? Come on, come on, come on."

Zhang Lifan shouted angrily: "That night, the northern military camp was not the only one attacked. The temporary camp where Dai Viet paid supplies was also raided. Those people set fire to the supply camp, and even wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take away 800 million taels of silver."

"Also, that night, nearly 2000 people secretly lurked in Li Yuan's prison, intending to kidnap Li Yuan. If the Marquis hadn't arranged for Deputy Xiao to guard Li Yuan early, Li Yuan might have been rescued."

"And the clothing and equipment of these people are the same as the men in black who attacked the northern military camp at night. It can be seen that these people are all in the same group."

Hearing this, the civil and military officials became even more angry:
"What, bastard Yang Yuqing! How dare you try to get those supplies!"

"Brother Zhang, is it possible that all those supplies were burned?"

Zhang Lifan bowed and replied: "My lords, don't worry. The Marquis and the Crown Prince have long been on guard against people with ulterior motives, so they secretly dug a tunnel early and arranged enough manpower in the material camp. The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince were all involved in the whole process that day. The Dai Viet envoy personally handed over the supplies and immediately moved them from the tunnel after entering the camp. Therefore, the fire that night did not burn the supplies. All supplies and silver were intact, and all the night attackers were successfully killed and captured. .”

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good, that's good. Those supplies were obtained by the northern soldiers with their lives. Fortunately, everything is fine."

"Yes, I'm so lucky, Marquis Wu'an is so wise!"

"Damn it, it seems Yang Yuqing has defected to Dai Viet a long time ago."

"Definitely, maybe he secretly instigated this battle between Tianqi and Vietnam."

"Yes, now that Dai Viet has been defeated, he wants to help Dai Viet get those supplies back."

"Bastard, this person really will never be able to atone for his sins."... The angry shouts of the civil and military officials in the palace continued.

At this moment, Prince Yu's voice full of anger sounded again: "As a supervisor, Yang Yuqing dared to assassinate Marquis Wu'an. He really deserves death! Where is the Minister of Dali Temple?"

Liu Zigao, the minister of Dali Temple, hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinate is here."

Prince Yu shouted loudly and angrily: "Master Dali Temple, I ask you to send people to seize Yang Yuqing's mansion immediately. Keep a close eye on me, and no one is allowed to let go."

Liu Zigao was shocked, but he still bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your orders. Also, Your Majesty, when we seal the mansion, do we have to explain the reason?"

Prince Yu pondered for a moment, took out a token from his body and handed it to Liu Zigao, and replied: "Let's not talk about it for now. Just take my token and surround the mansion directly. No one is allowed to enter or leave. I will be responsible for all consequences." .”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Zigao hurriedly accepted the order and left.

Prince Yu continued to shout: "Deputy Commander of the Royal Forest Army, listen to the order."

Deputy Commander Liu of the Royal Forest Army hurriedly bowed and responded: "Your Majesty."

Prince Yu shouted: "Immediately send your troops to surround Liu Shuyi's palace and don't let anyone out."

The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army was startled and hurriedly bowed back: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is not here. Is there anything wrong with us besieging the harem privately?"

Prince Yu shouted angrily: "Every pair of eyes of the soldiers in the north have seen it. Yang Yuqing's crime cannot be denied, and it is also an unforgivable crime. Liu Shuyi is Yang Yuqing's daughter. It doesn't matter whether she is guilty or not. Now we should take care of her. All the consequences I am responsible for this. Deputy Commander Liu, take good care of your people and don’t make unreasonable comments."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Although Deputy Commander Liu had some objections, he still hurriedly followed the order.

At this moment, Zhang Xingfan and Zhang Ligao knelt down again, raised the wooden box in their hands, bowed and saluted loudly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the evidence that the commander of the Northern Territory, Wu Anhou, wants to submit to the court. Wu Anhou leads the 30 soldiers of the Northern Territory. , please ask Queen Mother Ren'an, Prince Yu, and Prince Gong to come forward and uphold justice for the soldiers in the northern border!"

Hearing the sound, the civil and military officials were even more shocked and began to whisper:

"Hey...what's going on?"

"I don't know, why do we need to ask Queen Mother Ren'an to come forward! Oh my god, what happened?"

"Yes, besides Yang Yuqing's matter, are there other bigger things?"······

Although he knew that Marquis Wu An would submit the evidence to the court today, at this moment, Prince Yu looked at the wooden box with a solemn expression and his heart dropped, because he knew in his heart that as long as this wooden box was opened, the Apocalypse Court would change. Oh my God!

After a while, Prince Yu finally spoke: "Where is the key?"

Zhang Xingfan said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis was worried that the contents inside would be leaked, so he did not give us the key. The Marquis said, please just order someone to break the lock."

Hearing this, the guard behind Yuuchin glanced at him. The guard nodded, walked forward, took the wooden box and placed it on the ground. He pulled out the knife on his body and slashed with his hand. With a click... the lock broke. opened.

Then, he stepped forward, picked up the wooden box on the ground, bowed and handed it to Prince Yu: "Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials in the palace were already craning their necks...and staring wide-eyed... anxiously waiting for Prince Yu to open the wooden box to take a closer look!
Prince Yu Murongtang stared at the wooden box for a moment, and finally reached out to open the wooden box. He took out the memorials and letters inside and read them one by one. After reading them, he handed them to Prince Gong.

Time passed little by little, and both of them looked extremely dark!Although I had known the reason why Apocalypse and Vietnam would go to war, at this moment, I was so shocked when I saw these things with my own eyes that I was still furious!

As for the civil and military officials, they kept looking around, only to see that the faces of Prince Yu and Prince Gong were getting darker and darker, and they all secretly speculated on what happened.
Soon, Prince Yu shouted angrily: "You bastard! Haha... I, the Murong clan, have such a cruel and unscrupulous person!"

As soon as the sound fell, all the civil and military officials were filled with astonishment:

"My lord, what happened again?"

"Is it possible that it's a bigger deal than Yang Yuqing's assassination of Marquis Wu'an?"

"Your Majesty, who are you talking about just now?"

Prince Yu's eyes darkened and he shouted angrily: "My lords, do you want to know what is in this box? Hehe... At this moment, I finally understand why the gravel smashed down the altar of sacrifice to heaven! Why did the emperor Zhengui meet? Then it split apart!”

What?The contents of this box are actually related to the vision of today’s sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven!At this moment, the shock on the faces of the civil and military officials was even worse.Many people are anxiously asking:

"My lord, what do you mean?"

"My lord, what exactly is in this box?"

Prince Yu shouted: "The vision of worshiping the Temple of Heaven today is God's warning to us that the superiors are unscrupulous. In order to regain military power, they would not hesitate to provoke a war between the two countries, harm the loyal, and kill the soldiers of Tianqi!"

As soon as the sound fell, the civil and military officials exploded instantly:
"What! The superior is immoral!"

"Prince Yu, what do you mean?"

"My lord, what do you mean by that? Who instigated this Apocalypse-Dai Viet War?"

·····The Hall of Taihe was filled with all kinds of weird and unbelievable sounds.Prince Gong shouted angrily again: "My lords, these letters in our hands are evidence, evidence that Emperor Mingxi murdered Zhongliang!"

"These were all searched by the soldiers of the Northern Territory after Zhang Tianling and Yang Yuqing were captured. There is a letter in which Emperor Mingxi secretly instructed Zhang Tianling to poison Marquis Wu'an. In addition, Emperor Mingxi instructed Yang Yuqing to secretly assassinate the commander of the Northern Territory. Marquis Wu'an!"

"Moreover, during the war between the two countries, Yang Yuqing secretly conveyed military information to Li Yuan in the northern border. After being discovered by Marquis Wu'an, he secretly intercepted it. If not for fear of arousing the enemy, Yang Yuqing should have been sent back to the imperial capital to be handled by the court. No. As for giving him the opportunity to assassinate Marquis Wuan."

Hearing this, the civil and military officials even exploded:

"What? The emperor ordered Yang Yuqing to assassinate Marquis Wu'an!"

"Oh my God, it was the Emperor who ordered Zhang Tianling to poison!"

"Oh my god! How could this happen!"... All kinds of weird and unbelievable voices in the Hall of Taihe continued to rise.

Prince Gong shouted: "Come here, show Marquis Wu'an's memorial and these evidences to all your lords."

Then, several guards behind Prince Gong immediately stepped forward, picked up the memorial and letter, and showed them in front of the civil and military officials. Many officials got excited and reached out to take them to read, but they were immediately stopped by the guards. .

Prince Gong took a look and shouted: "My lords, these are very important evidences and will be presented to the Queen Mother at that time. My lords, just look at it with your eyes and don't move your hands."

Hearing the sound, everyone retracted their hands silently, not daring to touch the evidence anymore. Perhaps they were also afraid of touching the evidence. If an accident occurred, it would not be something they could afford.

Seeing each piece of evidence with their own eyes, the civil and military officials were even more shocked, because they all recognized the emperor's handwriting, and the discussion in the hall continued:

"My God, how could this be?"

"It turned out to be Yang Yuqing who secretly conveyed military information to Li Yuan! Bah, this traitor!"

"Oh my god...people in higher positions are not virtuous!"

"So that's it, that's it. So, after the news of Marquis Wu'an's poisoning came from the north, our emperor hurriedly asked for a personal expedition. It turns out that all of this was planned a long time ago."

"How can this be like this! He planned all this just to take back military power! The people of the North and the soldiers of the North are also his people! God, Taizu, what has become of this Apocalypse court! "

"Oh my God, no wonder there are strange phenomena in the altar of sacrifice to heaven. This is the anger of heaven and the resentment of people!"······

Prince Gong also shouted angrily: "No wonder the rocks fell down on the altar of sacrifice to heaven, no wonder Zhengui cracked. This is a warning from God that the emperor is unkind!"

Soon, the guards walked around and brought the letters back to Prince Yu and Prince Gong again.

Prince Yu shouted angrily: "Tenth brother, since the founding of our Tianqi Dynasty, we have never had such an emperor. He really brings shame on our Tianqi Murong clan. Today, we two must set things right and return to the right path."

Prince Gong bowed and replied: "Let fourth brother make the decision in everything."

Prince Yu said: "Well, we will report to the Queen Mother later and respectfully ask the Queen Mother to make decisions for the people of Tianqi and the soldiers in the north."

Prince Gong bowed and replied: "Okay, let fourth brother make the decision."

Hearing this, all civil and military officials were shocked, Apocalypse was about to change the world!

But some people have doubts in their eyes. Based on this evidence alone, is it really that easy to change today?Prince Keyu has never been a reckless person, but at this time, he spoke so decisively.

But at this moment, Prince Yu was only asking for Prince Gong's opinion, but he did not force them to take sides, so all the civil and military officials were silent... and watched... not daring to say another word.

The emperor is the emperor, and he is above everyone in the world, even the emperor's uncle, but the premise is that the emperor can control this country!

But now, as an emperor, such a big mistake has happened. No, it should be said that he is guilty.Both Prince Yu and Prince Gong were the sons of Emperor Qianxing, and were above the emperor in seniority.At this moment, they are naturally qualified to criticize this emperor.And it is obvious that Prince Yu and Prince Gong have a greater chance of winning, because the 30 soldiers in the north have pointed it out and respectfully ask the Queen Mother, Prince Yu and Prince Gong to make the decision for them.

If you just rely on a few letters today, you will naturally not be able to convict an emperor.But Yang Yuqing colluded with Li Yuan and even assassinated Marquis Wuan and was captured on the spot. All the soldiers in the north saw this. This cannot be denied!The most important thing is that Yang Yuqing is the supervisor sent by the emperor to the northern border. This is also an obvious fact!
It is said that the emperor had no knowledge of what Yang Yuqing did, so few people would believe it.

Not to mention the people of Tianqi, at this moment, even the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony could not believe it.Because all this conspiracy is so logical!

After Zhang Tianling poisoned Marquis Wu'an, news came from the northern border that Marquis Wu'an was poisoned and critically ill. Then, the emperor sent Yang Yuqing to the northern border as a supervisor on the grounds that Xiao Hengyu had just taken over military affairs. Then, Apocalypse and Vietnam started fighting, and then , the emperor clamored for the imperial commander to conquer in person.At that time, everyone already understood that the emperor's intention to take back military power was to conduct a personal expedition.But what they never expected was that all this was secretly planned by the emperor from the beginning!

At this moment, Prince Yu and Prince Gong were seen walking aside and whispering. After a moment, Prince Gong turned around and left with his bodyguards.

Afterwards, Prince Yu ordered the accompanying guards behind him: "Immediately go to Mr. Liu, the Minister of Dali Temple, and tell Mr. Liu that after Yang Yuqing's mansion is sealed, he will return to the palace immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The accompanying guards hurriedly took the order and left.

Prince Yu asked: "Prime Minister Jiang, you have the deployment token of the Royal Forest Army in your hand, okay?"

Jiang Peiyuan bowed and replied: "Back to the prince, the token is indeed in the hands of the official."

Prince Yu shouted: "Prime Minister Jiang, please immediately dispatch two teams of Imperial Guards to guard the Imperial Study. No one in the Imperial Study is allowed to be let go."

"In addition, the team of guards who followed the king into the palace went with Prime Minister Jiang."

"I obey my orders." Jiang Peiyuan asked, "My lord, what do you want?"

Prince Yu did not answer, but shouted angrily: "My lords, you can follow Prime Minister Jiang to wait outside the imperial study. I will arrive shortly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." All civil and military officials were confused. What is Prince Yu going to do?But he didn't dare to ask and hurriedly took orders to go to the imperial study room.

Now, everyone is beating drums and wondering. Now that the Queen Mother is not in the palace, these two princes are the most noble in the imperial capital. Moreover, after the Yunbaijiang repair fund, Prince Yu has a high prestige in the hearts of the people. Even more so at this moment. Under the guise of bringing order to things and returning to the right path, they naturally had to obey their orders.

Thinking about it more carefully, I still don’t know what the Queen Mother’s attitude will be now.But one thing is for sure, the Queen Mother is not the Emperor’s biological mother!Moreover, when Emperor Zongyuan was on the throne, the Queen Mother had already retreated to the imperial garden to recuperate.Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to stand unswervingly on the emperor's side!So at this moment, you must not offend these two princes.

Furthermore, the emperor has always trusted Prime Minister Jiang, and when he left the imperial capital, he even ordered Prime Minister Jiang to act as the agent of the government.But everything happened today, and until this moment, Prime Minister Jiang had never said a word for the emperor. This was so strange. At this moment, Prime Minister Jiang also followed Prince Yu's arrangement to surround the imperial study.What is this situation like?Sigh... If Prime Minister Jiang is like this, there is no need for us to stand out.

But among the civil and military officials, some people walked hesitantly, looking at Jiang Peiyuan from time to time, hoping to get some answers from Jiang Peiyuan.But in the end he shook his head in disappointment and had to follow closely to the imperial study room.

Jiang Peiyuan, however, took in the expressions of these people and sneered in his heart, knowing that you are loyal to Emperor Mingxi, there is no harm in keeping you for now.

Royal study.

Soon, Jiang Peiyuan led two groups of imperial guards and surrounded the imperial study.

And a team of prince guards transferred by Prince Yu directly entered the royal study and surrounded the entire royal study from the inside. In other words, this team of guards surrounded the entrance to the dark hall.

These movements quickly attracted the attention of the secret guards in the secret palace.

An Yi led the people out of the An Palace as quickly as possible. When they saw the guards and imperial soldiers surrounded inside and outside the imperial study, they were all shocked. Looking again, the leader was actually Jiang Peiyuan, and the people outside the imperial study. All civil and military officials were even more shocked!What is happening?

An Yi was shocked and had a bad premonition. Although the imperial study was always guarded by their secret guards, when the emperor left the imperial capital, after all, he appointed Prime Minister Jiang to be in charge of the government affairs, and he finally bowed politely. , said: "Prime Minister Jiang, what are you doing? This is the emperor's study room. How can you bring so many people to surround this place?"

Jiang Peiyuan returned the greeting politely, but said: "Don't worry, the Prime Minister is also waiting for someone."

An Yi was confused: "Waiting for someone? Prime Minister Jiang, you brought so many people to the imperial study to wait for someone?"

"Prime Minister Jiang, this is unreasonable. This is the emperor's study room, how can it be so desecrated! Now that the emperor is not in the imperial capital, no one else is allowed to stay in the study room. Please take your people and leave as soon as possible."

There was contempt in Jiang Peiyuan's eyes, and he said: "An Yi, I know that the emperor has asked you to manage the secret guards staying in the imperial capital. The imperial study is also your scope of responsibility, but today's matter is beyond your control."

"Not to mention you, even the prime minister can't control the civil and military officials present. We are just following orders."

Hearing this, An Yi was even more shocked, and his bad premonition became stronger. He asked anxiously: "Prime Minister Jiang, what do you mean by this? An order? Whose order is this?"

At the same time, An Yi quietly gestured to the secret guard behind him. The secret guard behind him was startled and hurriedly took a few steps back, intending to turn around and return to the secret hall.

However, Jiang Peiyuan waved his hand, and the prince's guards in the palace quickly surrounded them, surrounding the secret guards instantly!Many of the prince's guards rushed into the dark palace at high speeds!
An Yi shouted: "Prime Minister Jiang, no one is allowed to enter the An Palace without the emperor's permission. What are you going to do?"

Jiang Peiyuan said calmly: "An Yi, the truth has been told, we are all just following orders."

"Have you not seen the costumes of these guards? They are all the prince's guards. Today we are here on the orders of Prince Yu and Prince Gong, so please don't act rashly. Everyone, please be patient and wait for the two of you. Prince, come here.”

Hearing this, An Yi was even more shocked: "Prince Yu! Prince Gong!"

Then he reacted and shouted hurriedly: "Prime Minister Jiang, you must think twice, even the two princes are not qualified to block the imperial study without authorization!"

As soon as the sound fell, Prince Yu Murongtang's loud voice came into the imperial study: "I am not qualified. What about Emperor Qianxing, is he qualified?"
