The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 191 Remonstrance
The prince naturally knew what it was, it was his proof to Li Li.

In order to prove his sincerity to Prince Mobei, he gave Li Li his private seal.

He thought that after the eldest prince killed Lang Sheng with his help, he would definitely be able to defeat the army at the border, and thus gain a high voice in Daqing, and by then, he would naturally be able to rise.

But in the end, the eldest prince lost, and this thing, at this moment, was thrown out by Xu Qingluo along with a pile of letters.

"That is, His Highness's private seal."

Patriarch Wang opened his mouth, his eyes full of doubts: "I don't know what the county lord means?"

At that moment, the prince knew that he could not let Xu Qingluo continue to say anything.

She must have known about the deal between herself and the eldest prince.

The prince forgot the long sword on his throat: "Kill them, let me kill them all—woo!"

A bloody light flashed on the prince's neck, it was Lang Sheng's sword slicing his throat.

"blood, blood"

The prince's body trembled, and he was about to faint.

He had killed many people, directly or indirectly, he didn't know how many. Other people's blood could even make him excited, but his own blood made his whole heart tremble.

Lang Sheng's hand was very steady, no matter how the prince shook, his sword tip was always attached to the prince's neck, and the cold murderous aura followed like a shadow.

Seeing that Lang Sheng had controlled the prince, Xu Qingluo didn't move around for a while, so he knelt down and picked up a letter on the ground and the prince's private seal.

"Lord Cai Wang did not admit his mistake just now, this is indeed the crown prince, no, the private seal of His Royal Highness, as for why this private seal is in my hands, I personally took it out from the big tent of the eldest prince of Mobei."

Xu Qingluo held up the private seal and showed it around. The prince wanted to speak several times, but he didn't dare to move because of Langcheng's sword.

Xu Qingluo saw that everyone who was supposed to see had seen the private seal clearly, and after many people recognized it like Patriarch Wang, he unfolded a letter in his hand: "This is a certain prince from Daqing and Mobei University. I will read the correspondence between the princes and friends."

Seeing that the situation is completely developing in an unbelievable direction, it is clear that Xu Qingluo and Lang Cheng only have more than a hundred entourages, but they are more like the ones who have the upper hand: "The eldest prince has met, and I have been friends with the eldest prince for a long time. , had the good fortune to meet, and today there is something—”

At this time, anyone who is not a fool will know who the rebel Xu Qingluo was talking about in front of him, and the collusion between the prince and Mobei, maybe it is true.

After all, Xu Qingluo had too much evidence in his hands.

And thinking of the prince's absurd actions over the past year, I just want to say that the prince will not be so disregarding the overall situation, but the eldest prince and the prince were caught doing that kind of thing, what else did the letter say? We have been friends for a long time.

Not only the complexions of those courtiers changed, but also the faces of the imperial guards who were just obeying orders were also a little ugly.

They only obeyed the emperor's orders, and the emperor asked them to listen to the crown prince's order to kill Langcheng. Even though they had some guesses and reluctance in their hearts, they still obeyed the orders.

But with the evidence in Xu Qingluo's hands now, it was the prince who really betrayed the country, how many people died in the last accident at the border.

The swords and arrows in some people's hands were unknowingly put down.

"It can't go on like this."

Some of the courtiers who were just watching the show frowned and discussed in a low voice.

"Then what do you think we should do now? If something happens to him here, we can't escape the blame. And if the Xu family is allowed to continue, His Majesty's face will also be damaged."

"Just now I saw someone leaving secretly."

The courtier who spoke glanced at the prince and shook his head: "Your Majesty should make a decision."

Since the emperor and Lang Cheng had torn faces, Lang Sheng must die, and the crown prince, it only depends on how much father-son affection the emperor still has for him.

Thinking of the emperor's cruelty, the way the other party looked at the prince was already looking at a dead person.

Did Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo really think that if they held the prince hostage, they would have a good chance of winning?
After all, the prince only works for the emperor.

Everyone looked at Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo with some regrets in their eyes. It was a kind of self-righteous wisdom. They felt that everything Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo were doing now was a futile struggle and would bring trouble to the emperor. , but it will anger the emperor even more. In the capital, no one can fight the emperor.

"The decree has arrived!"

A eunuch's sharp voice came from afar.

"As a rebel, Langcheng colluded with the enemy, and he didn't think about repentance. Instead, he intensified and became more domineering and sinister. He hijacked my prince and fabricated false charges. He intended to get lucky. I deeply hate him. As my prince, Heng'er should take the overall situation into consideration. The most important thing is that you can't bear to be held hostage by rebels. When necessary, you can act expediently. The imperial guards on the scene obey orders and take down Lang Sheng and his subordinates on the spot. If there is any resistance, they will be executed without pardon. .”

The last end of the eunuch's voice rose high, and the deputy commander who led the imperial guards who was at odds with Lang Cheng already stepped forward quickly, knelt down to receive the order: "Chen, Jin obeys the emperor's order!"

The other party took over the decree, which meant that there was no room for relaxation, and the decree of cruelty and killing.

A look of disbelief appeared on the prince's face: "Father, Father, I don't want to die, come here, hurry up and protect my palace, come here!"

The prince knew the emperor's cruelty, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel. He struggled for a while, and he didn't even care about Lang Cheng's sharp sword across his neck. Blood was overflowing, and the prince's eyes were full of madness.

The prince was useless at the moment, Lang Cheng narrowed his eyes, and lightly patted the acupuncture point on the back of the prince's neck with the back of the blade, the prince grunted, and was already locked there.

"Langsheng, you have two choices now, let His Highness be bound without restraint, or take everyone around you to die on the spot, His Highness will naturally die for the country!"

The commander who received the imperial decree turned to Lang Sheng and said with a sneer.

Lang Sheng once served as the commander of the palace guards for a period of time. He was determined to obtain that position, but was snatched away by Lang Sheng halfway. What's more, his subordinates admired Lang Sheng so much. This deputy commander had wanted more than once. He has dealt with Lang Sheng, but he has never found an opportunity. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.

Although he was giving Lang Cheng two choices, his hand was already raised high, it was a gesture that would immediately start killing as soon as it fell.

Seeing that Lang Cheng and the others seemed to be really going to perish here, Xu Qingluo put away the letter that the crown prince and the eldest prince had colluded with that he was still reading, and smiled happily: "My lord, you are really sure that we will Is it just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in a cage?"

Her smile is really soothing, very relaxed, and there is no sense of forcing. Many people who are sensitive and vigilant have some guesses in their hearts.

The next moment, Xu Qingluo looked up at the closed city gate, through the thick gate of the capital, as if he could see the scene behind the gate.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help following Xu Qingluo's gaze and looked in the direction of the city gate.

"Langsheng, don't try to escape. After the gate of the capital is closed tightly, unless you pull the mechanism, it will weigh a thousand catties. It is definitely not that you, a flesh and blood body, can force it through, or you want to force it. Before that , the archers are enough to tie all of you into hedgehogs."

The deputy commander of the imperial guards misunderstood the meaning of Xu Qingluo's gaze, and sneered, saying so.

Xu Qingluo turned a deaf ear to his voice, and there was even more anticipation in his eyes, and the eyes of Lang Sheng and those entourages brought by him were not at all nervous, as if the words of the deputy commander were just a speck of dust blown by the wind, There was no way to cause the slightest ripple.

The deputy commander frowned, feeling that he was being despised by Lang Cheng, his eyes were fierce, and he was about to wave his hands to let his subordinates attack.

"there's noise"

Someone suddenly made a sound.

"It's the sound of horseshoes. Maybe some unsuspecting caravan—"

Someone couldn't help but put their upper body on the ground and listened: "No, it's not a caravan or convoy, it's an army!"

The face of the official who heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes sweeping towards the capital from a distance turned pale: "It's the army, a large number of troops have arrived!"

At this moment, everyone heard the sound of rumbling steeds approaching. It was not one horse or two horses, but the sound of thousands of steeds galloping together.

It was a heavy, awe-inspiring pressure that made people tremble uncontrollably.

The sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was ringing in my ears, and the ground under my feet seemed to tremble.

Suddenly, the last loud bang, the horrible sound of horseshoes that seemed to flatten the entire capital just now came to an abrupt end. From the extreme movement to the extreme silence, it was as if the trembling they felt just now, they The loud noises heard are just illusions.

But how could it be possible that everyone in broad daylight had the illusion that there were only four words in Youzhibing's mind, order and prohibition.

"My lord, an army has surrounded the city gate! Many people"

Standing on the commanding heights, the soldier who was aiming at Lang Sheng with his bow and arrow couldn't help but shouted into the city gate.

His shout made the people who were already a little frightened and suspicious even more flustered. "Whose army is whose army!"

Someone couldn't help but yelled in a broken voice, his eyes wandered around, and then slowly fell on the body of Lang Cheng, who had not changed his color at all, who had always acted too calmly.

Obviously more than one person thought of it, more and more people's eyes fell on Lang Sheng.

The atmosphere was extremely stagnant.

"Bold Langcheng, you dare to summon an army to besiege the capital without permission. You really are a traitor and traitor, and everyone will punish you!"

The deputy commander's hands trembled, pointing at Lang Sheng and sternly yelling.

On the contrary, the arrogant eunuch beside him trembled with a bad feeling in his heart: "Commander Xiao, we don't have evidence yet, so don't convict—"

"It must be related to Lang Sheng!"

The deputy commander just didn't want to miss the opportunity to kill Lang Sheng, he was already offended, he was different from others, he had no way out.

During the conversation, he had already recklessly wanted someone to kill Lang Sheng directly.

But before he opened his mouth, there was a voice from outside, a voice like a tsunami: "General Lang is innocent, please check clearly, General Lang is innocent, please check clearly!"

"General Lang is innocent—"

Three times in a row, one louder than the other, it was the unanimous cry of tens of thousands of people, it was the heartfelt resentment of a man with border blood.

The ground trembled and the mountains shook, but at that moment, the entire imperial city seemed to be vibrating uncontrollably.

The emperor, who had been walking back and forth in the palace, stopped. He vaguely heard the voice outside, but he couldn't hear it clearly at first. After the army outside the capital yelled it three times in a row, he finally heard it clearly. Then , that face that had been holding the winning ticket all along, lost all composure: "Xiao Quanzi, Xiao Quanzi, what's going on!"

The emperor shouted Manager Wang's name, his eyes were full of anger and a trace of imperceptible fear.

He has always been afraid of the day when Langcheng becomes big, and has always imagined Langcheng's infidelity, but at this moment, when he really faintly felt that his suspicion had become real, he was more helpless than anyone else. accept.

-

"Qin Heng is guilty of colluding with Mobei!"

"I hope His Majesty will see clearly and punish the real traitors!"

Feitian yelled, and the army behind him repeated his words in unison. This is a 'remonstrance'!
This is Lang Sheng's army, the soldiers of all battles at the border who have always been treated as numbers by all the high-ranking people in the capital.

All the ministers and officials who had been living in the capital city with dignity and comfort finally realized what had happened.

Someone's feet went limp, and they collapsed to the ground in shock.

Ling Chi Lang Cheng Ling Chi, the eunuch's eunuch who had been using his eyes all the time, was also blank.

"Langcheng, do you want to rebel? It's really awe-inspiring to have soldiers approaching the city."

Commander Xiao looked at Langcheng angrily, and became more and more jealous of the military power in the opponent's hands and the support of his soldiers.

Lang Sheng finally spoke: "Lang Sheng is dedicated to serving the country and dare not be greedy for credit, but he is even more unwilling to die in the name of an unwarranted rebellion. Lang Sheng only wants justice, for himself, for the many innocent soldiers who sacrificed at the border, and for the sake of the border." The people who died at the hands of aliens demand justice, and with such complete evidence, Lang Sheng wants the real sinners to be punished as they should be!"

Lang Sheng hadn't spoken a lot since he entered the gate of the capital, Xu Qingluo was the one who stood out, but at this moment when he spoke awe-inspiringly, he was carrying all kinds of righteousness and righteousness. Under the constant injustice of the prince, he had to demand justice.

"You want justice, this general asked you to go to Lord Hades to seek justice, all the archers, give it to me—"

The vice-commander's shot didn't come out, because Patriarch Wang stood in front of him: "Commander Xiao, are you sure you can really defeat these armies of hundreds of battles?"

Langsheng's army came out of bloody battles at the border. Compared with the so-called well-trained guards in the capital, they are completely different. Commander Xiao knows in his heart that if they really match up, they won't be defeated by a match. For hundreds, those who have seen blood at least have no problem with one against ten.

All the imperial guards in the capital add up to less than [-] city defense troops!
One sentence from Patriarch Wang is more effective than thousands of words of persuasion, because what he is talking about is the reality, the reality that has to be compromised. If the war really starts at this time, Commander Xiao himself knows how slim his side's chances of winning are, and he also Can't bear the anger of the emperor after the defeat.

But now, as long as Lang Sheng and his people make mistakes in the capital, it is all his fault.

The voice of persuasion continued: "Commander Xiao, you and I are following orders. Now that the situation is at this point, let's wait for news from His Majesty."

Patriarch Wang's eyes seemed to glance over Xu Qingluo inadvertently, and he sighed in admiration from the bottom of his heart. Today's releases, one after another, all seemed to be well-arranged dramas, from entering the city alone at the beginning, to kidnapping the prince, announcing The crown prince's crimes disturbed the morale of one's own army, and the imperial edict issued by the emperor later, all the troops at the frontier rushed to the army in time to remonstrate, every link was well coordinated, and the timing was extremely accurate, if it is said that these things developed naturally , rather than Xu Qingluo's calculations one by one, even Patriarch Wang couldn't believe it.

At that moment, he really let go of his faint thoughts about Xu Qingluo. Although Wang Yao died in the hands of the prince, in the final analysis, there may be a little shadow of Xu Qingluo in it, and these Wang Patriarchs can still find out.

Originally, I thought that if I had the opportunity, I would reciprocate one or two, but now, I want to rest that thought.

Xu Qingluo's methods are old-fashioned, ruthless, fierce and righteous, which is not inferior to his old fritters in the officialdom.

However, although a woman with such methods is dreadful, becoming an enemy is not good for the other party, but it would be great if she becomes a community of interests. Thinking of the line that Xu Qingluo has drawn between herself and the Ninth Prince, Patriarch Wang is more determined in her choice A few points.

With the support of Langsheng's army and Xu Qingluo's means, as long as the Ninth Prince is not a mud like Qin Heng who can't support the wall at all, he must be the one who has the best chance of ascending to the Ninth Five Throne.

This, he is convinced at the moment.

-

The waiting time seems to be very short, but it feels very long. It really feels like years are passing by. After all, although the soldiers at the border stopped shouting, but looking down from the city wall, the densely packed army is extremely neat and bloody. There are tens of millions of soldiers in the air, and there is a feeling of suffocation.

Many people find it difficult to face it, let alone a direct battle.

The officials present counted one by one. At this moment, they all hoped that the emperor would be more clear-headed. If he had to deal with Lang Sheng, he would find a chance in the future and not make impulsive decisions today.

The so-called heavy gate of the capital did not give them any sense of security at all.

Many people regretted that they did not report their illness today and did not escape. They all had sad faces and couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace again and again.

The army outside the city was confronting the imperial guards inside the city, but it was Lang Cheng who was the trigger, who had already left the Prince's body, and walked to Xu Qingluo's side at some point, took her hand, and held her hand. She walked to a stone pier, stretched out her sleeve to brush the dust off it for her, and asked Xu Qingluo to sit down and rest for a while.

Xu Qingluo smiled at Lang Sheng and pulled his sleeve: "You sit together too."

The two people are as comfortable as if they are at home. Seeing the two people talking and laughing, some people are very envious, some people admire, some people disdain, and some people grit their teeth and hate fiercely. What is the idea, I feel even more anxious at this moment, why the emperor's order has not arrived yet.

A gust of wind and cold air blew by, Lang Sheng took off his cloak and put it on Xu Qingluo's shoulders.

The prince looked at them, his eyes were bloodshot.

If he could move, he would definitely have someone kill the two of them right now.

He doesn't care about Xu Qingluo at all now, this is a poisonous scorpion, if he touches it, he will die!
A rush of hoofbeats came from a distance.

"It should be His Majesty's decision!"

Someone breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it's good or bad, let them have a foundation first, so trapped here, how can they not be anxious.

Xu Qingluo and Lang Sheng stood up together.

Then, Xu Qingluo saw the thin figure who looked a little thinner against the surrounding people, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

She knew that today, she and Lang Sheng won.

"The Ninth Prince is here!"

The servant next to the Ninth Prince shouted loudly, and a group of people headed by the Ninth Prince entered the encirclement of the imperial guards unimpeded: "Father has an order, everyone kneels to accept the imperial order!"

The boy held up a scroll of bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, and shouted loudly. At that moment, his tiny figure seemed to have an awe-inspiring look.

With a royal demeanor, he is also fearless in front of thousands of troops: ".Today, I learned that Qin Heng is a rebel. He colluded with the enemy country for his own selfishness. His intentions are wrong. He pretended to be a son of the royal family, and even slandered the pillars of the country. I was in danger of losing help, Qin Heng was expelled from the clan, abolished all identities, and was demoted to a commoner. He was imprisoned in Dali Temple and tried for treason! Lang Sheng was fortunate enough to find evidence of Qin Heng's collusion with the prince of Mobei , and more importantly, the merits of guarding the border, defeating alien races, and facilitating peace agreements. From now on, Feng Langsheng will be granted the title of General Ding'an King, a palace of King Ding'an, a marriage with the Lord of Zerou County on an auspicious day, and three jewels in the inner treasury. box, five boxes of silk and satin, and two pairs of jasper Ruyi"

The Ninth Prince's voice was clear, and he uttered the emperor's decision very clearly. At that moment, everyone looked at Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo with envy and admiration, and the prince, who had his acupuncture points tapped by Lang Sheng, couldn't stand it. He who could speak but could not speak directly rolled his eyes and passed out.

In the emperor's thought, he went to hell, and Langcheng went to heaven, but the change in this thought was achieved by Xu Qingluo and Langcheng's several times of planning and hard work.

Lang Cheng held Xu Qingluo's hand tightly, and after the last words from the Ninth Prince's mouth, both of them knelt down: "Mr. Chen, take the order with my wife to thank you!"

At that moment, Lang Sheng was grateful for his choice, because he was finally able to fulfill his promise to Xu Qingluo, give her a splendid wedding, and give her a bright future.

The Ninth Prince handed the imperial decree to Lang Cheng, facing Xu Qingluo in front of him, he lowered his voice: "Aunt Xu, it's great that you came back safely."

He fulfilled his promise to protect her, and the boy's eyes seemed to have stars twinkling.

Xu Qingluo raised her eyes and looked at the Ninth Prince, the smile on her lips was stained with truth.
