The devil is coming

Chapter 699 Conviction!
"His Majesty!"
A small yellow doorman walked in from outside the Golden Palace, knelt down in the center, and reported:
"When Eunuch Wei proposed his name, he encountered a mutiny by some of the Imperial Guards at the Zongren Mansion, and has now entered into a fierce battle."
"This……"
"what is the problem……"
"Why is this..."
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. Now, when it comes to the Forbidden Army, it only refers to the Forbidden Army. The garrison troops and horses in the capital.
Is the capital garrison in chaos?
Was there a mutiny?
next moment,
The adults, who were a little lazy because of waiting, instantly turned their attention to the two princes who were still kneeling in front of them.
Which of you wants to force me into the palace?
unfortunately,
Can't ask.
Marquis Zheng was right. He had been here before, and he had a general understanding of the structure of the Forbidden Army after entering the capital. How should I put it, the Forbidden Army seemed to be a whole, but in fact it was divided into seven, seven, or eight in the capital.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for someone to suddenly integrate the Imperial Guards in the capital to cause trouble. If it is just a small group of soldiers...
Whether it is a prince or a big shot in the court, they can do it by cultivating a captain in the Forbidden Army. Using a captain as a medium and then raising hundreds of their own people below is equivalent to borrowing this carrier in the army for themselves. As a soldier, this is not difficult.
But can't Duke Wei solve this small mutiny?
It shouldn't be, and it's impossible.
Anyway,
Marquis Zheng didn't believe that anyone would dare to send troops to force the palace at this time. That would be too underestimated of Dayan's system, the garrison outside the city, and at the same time, his majesty on the dragon throne.
However, Emperor Yan's reaction surprised Zheng Fan.
"Haha, okay, okay, today is more exciting than I expected."
Then,
Emperor Yan turned his head and looked at the Great Yan Ping Xihou, who was standing alone with four seats.
"Ping Xihou accepts the order."
What's wrong with me?
Zheng Fan stepped out of the queue and knelt down.
"Chen is here!"
"He, the Chu State, once had four pillars, and I, the Yan State, also had four pillars supporting the sky. Now, a war has broken out in Kyoto. I order you to quickly mobilize troops and horses from outside the city to the capital to calm the situation."
Lord Zheng took a deep breath,
Immediately said:
"Minister, 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 nothing, 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 ​​Dayan's highest power center, 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.
Emperor Yan didn't get up to get it, but pointed to that side.
Zheng Fan walked over by himself and took down the Emperor's Sword.
The Emperor's Sword is not heavy. Mr. Zheng has also played with several magical weapons. Once he takes it, touches it, and weighs it, he can understand that this is just an ordinary sword, with a scabbard inlaid with gold and precious stones hanging on it. .
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 made by its owner.
The Emperor's Sword is obviously the latter.
Zheng Fan holds the sword,
Facing Emperor Yan, he knelt down again.
"Go, there will be no chaos in the capital."
"Sir, obey the order."
Holding the sword, stand up.
In fact, Marquis Zheng had never thought about it. Now that Wei Zhonghe was away, he was so close to Emperor Yan. If he drew his sword, he would immediately become angry and the world would 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,
Under the steps outside,
My own Pixiu has also been prepared there early.
When Lord Zheng turned over and turned Pi Xiu around, he suddenly remembered the scene when he was standing on the steps looking back when he was going up the steps. Now, he was standing at the bottom of the steps looking up at the golden palace.
"drive!"
Accompanied by a team of guards, Lord Zheng rode Pixiu straight out of the palace gate, and then headed towards the east gate without stopping.
Pixiu was very excited when he ran, because he could sense his master and felt a very strange excitement at this time.
Yes,
In Marquis Zheng's mind, he suddenly remembered the great and loyal Dong Zhuo in his memory, and how arrogant and domineering Dong Zhuo was when he entered Luoyang.
You know, 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 he could lead the cavalry of the Jingnan Army outside the city into the city, he would be able to directly enter the imperial city if he had no choice but to 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, if he dared to send troops to Beijing, he would definitely have the means to counter him.
Finally arriving at the east gate of the capital, I was surprised to find that the east gate was closed today.
"Who is coming!"
Below, a group of soldiers stepped forward.
Are you blind?
Can't you see clearly what I'm riding?
Moreover, Zheng Fan also saw the eyes of the soldiers in front of him looking at him with fear and reverence. Obviously, they all knew who he was.
At this time, Zheng Fan raised the Emperor 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! Long live!"
Lord Zheng narrowed his eyes.
Yo,
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?
in addition,
Why do you feel like you are following the routine so clearly?
"Open the gate."
Lord Zheng shouted.
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
The city gate was slowly opened.
Outside the open city gate, groups of knights had already lined up and stood there.
"Ha ha."
It was not the Jingnan Cavalry brought by Lao Tian from Litian City, but the Zhenbei Army stationed outside the capital and belonging to Li Liangshen.
Zheng Fan rode Pixiu out of the city,
right now,
He was sure of one thing,
That is today's great court meeting. It is not that the two princes who have inherited the throne are fighting each other. Emperor Yan actually has arrangements.
The son plays with the son,
I am playing with you,
have to,
I am the person who carries the flag and acts as the master of ceremonies.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
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 put an end to the chaos!"
"I am willing to listen to Lord Pingxi's instructions!"
"I am willing to listen to Lord Pingxi's instructions!"
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.
"Ah."
I, the Marquis who mobilizes troops, 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 he came out earlier, he was still thinking about Dong Zhuo, but he was stupidly used as a gun without even realizing it.
These three groups of soldiers and horses,
No matter what you did in the capital today,
This blame and influence will all fall on his head, Zheng Fan.
In the future, history books will also record that it was he, Ping Xihou, who led troops into the capital according to the imperial edict, causing...
Ok,
I don’t know what will happen to me as the “culprit”.
Mr. Zheng, who was sitting on Pi Xiu's back, closed his eyes.
I had been put on the shelf by Lao Tian several times before, but in fact I knew in my heart that Lao Tian was paving the way for him, and my sometimes refusal was more like a younger brother acting coquettishly to his older brother.
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 pawns in his hands;
Maybe it's because I didn't develop step by step in the capital before, so I didn't feel this feeling deeply before.
right now,
I feel it.
There was nothing to be angry about, and nothing to be angry about. I couldn't say how angry I was, but I really didn't have any.
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.
have to,
You continue to play,
Your little ones will continue to play,
When you are done playing,
I'll play mine again.
.........
When Lord Zheng had just "mobilized" his troops into the city,
In the golden hall of the court,
The case about the bloodline of the Tian family 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.
include,
The two princes kneeling in front.
Ji Chengjue turned his head and looked at the woman.
He has always known the woman's identity, and 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.
She knew that she was the young master of the Min family,
He also knew her identity as a spy of the Min family;
The contact we have had so far is actually only three times.
once,
She sent someone to tell her, Queen, it's just a few days away, and at the same time, she needs 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 you want it subconsciously,
But she pushed him away gently,
inform:
Your Highness, I am from the Min family.
……
Ji Laoliu subconsciously looked at where Zheng Fan was standing before.
Different from other people's reactions when they heard that the two kings from the north and the 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?
Emperor Father asked Zheng Fan to mobilize troops.
Ha ha,
Is it because the father himself wants to send troops in?
The fourth son's soldiers are in the imperial city, and another foreign army is sent in. What on earth does the father want to do?
Emperor Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at Rougu kneeling below.
How could he not recognize his queen's personal maid?
immediately,
Emperor Yan's eyes fell on the girl.
asked:
"Whose child is it?"
The emperor's voice was filled with 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.
Chess pieces are, after all, chess pieces. They are on the chessboard, but they cannot 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 realized 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 officials.
Wei Zhonghe reported: "Your Majesty, this is brought by the servant. The evidence collected by the emperor 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, "I have seen Mr. Zaifu before."
Zhao Jiulang looked calm.
Rou Gu continued: "Many of the ladies of the adults here have met my servant. I once served Queen Daxing, and it is normal to have some items from the East Palace around me."
"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,
Road:
"Da Zongzheng, you once said that it was this woman who told you that her child is the blood of the prince. Now..."
perhaps,
Most of the people in the main hall were feeling dizzy now.
There is still a small half who are on tenterhooks.
The most open-minded, open-minded, and relaxed person 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 prerequisite: the person must be alive and 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, and they were waiting for him to shoot this arrow at the prince.
This is the default scene at the beginning, in the main hall.
The role of the prince brother 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 assumptions,
Next,
Things will take a turn for the worse.
Rougu will be brought to the main hall.
At that time, things will become extremely big.
Satisfied with his ambition, 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 himself.
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 respect, 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 wouldn't be hypocritical at this time.
Therefore, the prince knew that something was wrong, and this was the reason for the prince's panic.
Because, this game 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 temporarily prepare a piece of evidence that the child was really the sixth prince, nor could he find another piece of evidence that the child was another prince. evidence.
In fact, Da Zongzheng supported the prince more and believed that the prince would have the last laugh. With the prince's promise, he finally chose to stand on the prince's boat. Even if he was with the Sixth Master Party, he belonged to them. 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 with the Queen in the harem for so many years was enough for her vision and eyes to quickly notice that something was wrong.
Therefore, 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 such as the bloodline of the Tian family that are related to the stability of the country. What are your intentions?
In the presence of His Majesty,
In front of hundreds of officials,
Is it possible that you have any secrets that you can’t 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 him step by step, or maybe it was because under the current situation, Ji Changwang was under great pressure and had reached a certain limit.
heart down,
After taking a look at the prince, as long as the prince ascends the throne in the future, whatever he does today will be exempted by the new emperor.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Your Majesty, it was His Highness the Sixth Prince who asked his ministers to frame the Crown Prince in the palace!"
"Ah."
Ji Chengjue, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled.
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 their carriage or sedan chair to complain, calling Master 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.
I chose 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.
In this way, 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 that
Ji Changwang saw that this person must be such a good person to be trusted by the third generation.
The breakthrough was actually not with Rou Gu, but with Ji Changwang!
And then,
A voice came from outside the Golden Palace:
"Lu Bing, the young minister of Honglu Temple, would like to see you."
"Xuan."
Lu Bing, still wearing armor, walked into the palace and looked at His Majesty and the princes kneeling on the ground.
immediately,
He knelt down:
"I bow before your majesty, long live my emperor!"
Many ministers were surprised when they saw Lu Bing, a civil servant, wearing armor, but then they thought of a certain rumor and realized it immediately.
There have been rumors that His Majesty has another yamen that is separated from the Secret Intelligence Department and is responsible for monitoring the officials. If you think about the relationship between Lu Bing and Your Majesty, the result of the guess is ready to come out.
Emperor Yan asked:
"Why is Lu Aiqing absent from today's meeting?"
"In reply to His Majesty, His Highness the Sixth Prince personally came to the door last night to report to the minister that Ji Changwang, the most authentic member of the clan's family, sent someone to inform him that he had obtained the prince's flesh and blood from the people, which was also evidence of the prince's misconduct!
Your Highness the Sixth Prince is afraid that there are people with evil intentions who want to do harm to the Crown Prince and the country.
I am also afraid that the Tianjia scandal will be exposed and damage the Tianjia’s face.
I'm even more afraid that if I'm really a member of the Tian family and something unexpected happens,
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.
