Chapter 699 Conviction!

"His Majesty!"

A little yellow man walked in from outside the golden hall, knelt down in the center, and reported:

"Eunuch Wei encountered a mutiny from some forbidden troops in the clan's mansion when he was nominated, and has now entered a fierce battle."

"this……"

"what is going on……"

"Why is this..."

When the ministers heard the news, they were shocked instantly.

In the early years, the Forbidden Army also referred to the Forbidden Army camp outside the capital, but with the outbreak of several foreign wars, the former main body of the Forbidden Army has long been split out. Now, when it comes to the Forbidden Army, it only refers to the The guards in the capital.

Chaos in the garrison of the capital?

Mutiny?

next moment,

The adults, who were a little lazy because of waiting, instantly turned their eyes to the two princes who were still kneeling in front of them.

Which one of you wants to force the palace!

pity,

Can't ask.

Zheng Houye is right, he is someone who has been here, and he has a general understanding of the structure of the Forbidden Army after entering Beijing. How can I put it, the Forbidden Army seems to be a whole, but in fact it is divided into 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 do something, if it is just a small group of soldiers...

Whether it's the prince or these big bosses, they can do it by training 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 the carrier of the army as their own. It's not difficult to raise dead soldiers.

But this kind of small mutiny, can't Eunuch Wei solve it?

It shouldn't be, and it's impossible.

In short,

Lord Zheng Hou didn't believe who would dare to send troops to force the palace at this moment, that would be too underestimating Dayan's system, underestimating the garrison outside the city, and at the same time, underestimating His Majesty on the dragon chair.

However, Yanhuang's reaction surprised Zheng Fan.

"Hehe, okay, okay, today, it was wonderful beyond my expectation."

Immediately afterwards,

Emperor Yan turned his head to look at Dayan Ping Xihou, who was standing alone with four people.

"The Marquis of Pingxi accepts the order."

What's the matter with me?

Zheng Fan came out and knelt down.

"The minister is here!"

"His state of Chu used to have four pillars, and I, Great Yan, also had pillars supporting the sky from all directions. Now, soldiers are in chaos in Kyoto. I order you to quickly send troops from outside the city to Beijing to calm the situation."

Lord Zheng Hou took a deep breath,

Immediately said:

"Minister, accept the order!"

"Marquis Pingxi, step forward to receive the Son of Heaven's Sword, as if I were here in person."

Zheng Fan stood up and walked forward slowly.

In the past, it was nothing to walk up the steps, but this time, when I went up the steps of the Golden Palace, I felt a difference.

Even though he had seen the big scene, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy on his steps.

After all, this golden palace symbolizes the core area of ​​Dayan's highest power center, and it can even be said to be the core of the entire East.

The Son of Heaven sword was originally hung on the golden dragon pillar on one side of the dragon chair.

Yan Huang didn't get up to get it, but pointed to that side.

Zheng Fan walked over by himself and took down the Tianzi Sword.

The Son of Heaven sword is not heavy, and Lord Zheng Hou has played with several magical weapons. Once he takes over, touches, and weighs it, he can understand that this is just an ordinary sword. It is nothing more than a scabbard inlaid with gold and gems hanging on it. .

But, how should I put it, there are two types of magical weapons under heaven, one is made of all kinds of precious materials and supplemented by texture formations, and the other is made by its master.

The Son of Heaven Sword is obviously the latter.

Zheng Fan holds the sword,

Facing Emperor Yan, he knelt down again.

"Go, Beijing, don't cause chaos."

"Sir, obey the order."

Holding the sword, stand up.

In fact, it's not that Marquis Zheng never thought about it. Now that Wei Zhonghe is not here, he is so close to Emperor Yan, and when he draws his sword, everyone will be furious immediately, and the world will be ruined.

Of course, just thinking about it, he and Emperor Yan have nothing to extinguish the hatred of grandma's family, so why bother to compete with the princes for this anger?

Walked out of the golden palace openly,

Down the steps outside,

My own Pixiu has also been prepared there early.

Zheng Houye turned over and turned the Pixiu, suddenly remembered the picture of himself standing on the steps and looking back when he went up the steps. Now, he was standing under the steps and looking up at the golden palace.

"drive!"

Accompanied by a team of guards, Zheng Houye rode the Pixiu straight out of the palace gate, and then headed towards the east gate without stopping.

Pixiu ran very excitedly, because it could sense its master, and there was a very strange excitement at this moment.

Yes,

In Lord Zheng Hou's mind, at this moment, he suddenly thought of the big man Zhongliang Dong Zhuo in his memory, thinking of Dong Zhuo's arrogance and domineering 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 the south are no longer in the capital.

If he could lead the cavalry of the Jingnan Army outside the city into the city, he might be able to enter the imperial city directly, forcing Emperor Yan to abdicate and let Xiaoliuzi take over.

This complicated button was untied in an instant.

Of course, Master 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 came to the east gate of the capital, but unexpectedly found that the east gate was closed today.

"Who is coming!"

Below, a group of soldiers stepped forward.

blind?

Can't see what I'm riding?

Moreover, Zheng Fan also saw the soldiers in front of him looking at him with fear and reverence. Obviously, they all knew who they were.

At this moment, Zheng Fan raised the Son of Heaven 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, long live!"

Lord Zheng Hou squinted his eyes,

Yo,

The eyes are really good, you can see the Tianzijian from such a distance, you sleep with it every night, so you can recognize it at a glance, right?

in addition,

Why is there a feeling of following the routine so clearly.

"Open the city gate."

Lord Zheng Hou shouted.

"Open the city gate!"

"Open the city gate!"

The city gate was slowly opened.

Outside the opened city gate, groups of knights had already stood there in formation.

"hehe."

It wasn't the Jingnan cavalry brought by Lao Tian from Litian City, but the Zhenbei army stationed outside the capital, which belonged to Li Liangshen.

Zheng Fan rode Pixiu out of the city,

Now,

He made sure of one thing,

That was today's Grand Court Meeting. It wasn't the two princes fighting for succession. Emperor Yan actually had arrangements.

The son plays with the son,

I play with my father,

have to,

I am a flag-carrying master of ceremonies.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The three guerrilla generals got off their horses and knelt down in front of Zheng Fan who was holding the Tianzi sword.

"There is chaos in the capital, Your Majesty bestows this Marquis with the Sword of Heaven, and dispatches troops into the city to quell the chaos!"

"Willing to listen to Lord Pingxi!"

"Willing to listen to Lord Pingxi!"

Zheng Fan nodded, turned around Pixiu, and returned to the city, behind him the cavalry filed in.

Then they divided into three groups behind Zheng Fan, and one general led the way. They didn't wait for Zheng Houye to tell them where to go and what to do, and they led their troops away.

"Ah."

I, the Marquis who dispatched troops, didn't know where else to go other than the clan's mansion, and you guys know better than this Marquis.

Zheng Fan looked at the Emperor Sword in his hand,

A sword is just a sword after all, and the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven after all.

When I came out earlier, I was still thinking about Dong Zhuo, but in the end I was foolishly used as a gun without knowing it.

These three soldiers and horses,

No matter what you do in the capital today,

The blame, and the influence, will all fall on Zheng Fan's head.

In the future, it will be recorded in the history books that he was the Marquis of Pingxi who led the troops into the capital and caused...

Um,

I don't know what the "culprit" will cause.

Lord Zheng Hou, who was sitting on Pixiu's back, closed his eyes,

I have been chased by Lao Tian several times before, but in fact, I know in my heart that Lao Tian is paving the way for himself, and my sometimes refusal is more like a younger brother who is acting good to his older brother, pretending to be hypocritical.

But the real emperor, the real emperor, seems to have long been used to treating all the people in the world and everyone in his court as a pawn in his hand;

Maybe it's because I didn't develop step by step in the capital before, so I didn't have a deep feeling for this feeling before.

Now,

realized.

There's nothing to be angry about, and there's nothing to be angry about. If I wanted to say how angry I was, I really didn't.

Regardless of why Emperor Yan is so energetic today, but if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Zheng Fan firmly believes that the emperor will not last long.

have to,

you continue to play,

Your family continues to play,

When you are done playing,

I'll play mine again.

………

When Zheng Houye just "transferred" the soldiers and horses into the city,

In the golden hall of the court,

The case about the Tian family's bloodline and the prince's immorality entered a real high court.

Wei Zhonghe led the people and brought Aunt Rou and the girl in.

Eunuch Wei took the hood off Aunt Rou's head, and then slowly walked back to His Majesty's side.

The eyes of all the ministers immediately focused on Aunt Rou.

include,

The two princes kneeling in front.

Ji Chengjue turned his head and looked at the woman.

He has always known the identity of the woman, and left a lot of inheritance for his grandson in the suicide note left by his grandfather.

Aunt Rou is also among them.

But for a long time, he and Rou Gu were only 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 so far is actually three times.

once,

She sent someone to tell herself, Queen, it's just a few days away, and at the same time, she needs to prepare some medicine herself.

once,

She sent someone to send a message that she was pregnant and had the flesh and blood of the prince, and planned to leave the palace to guard the tomb for the queen.

the last time,

She wrote and she gave 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, ready to sacrifice for the master at all times.

As for the prince, he turned his head to look at him, and what came to mind was that night when she took off her clothes and hugged herself on the bed.

When you subconsciously want to,

But she was gently pushed away,

inform:

Your Highness, I am from the Min family.

...

Ji Laoliu subconsciously looked at the position where Zheng Fan was standing before.

Different from other people who may hear the reaction of the two kings of the North and the South leaving the capital, they may think that the situation in Beijing and China will no longer be stable.

But Ji Laoliu thought, now, who can restrain his father?

Father asked Zheng Fan to dispatch troops,

hehe,

Is it the father himself who wants to send troops in?

The fourth son's soldiers are in the imperial city, and another foreign soldier is sent in. What exactly does the father want to do?

Emperor Yan on the dragon chair looked at Aunt Rou who was kneeling below.

How could he not know his queen's personal maid.

immediately,

Emperor Yan's eyes fell on the girl,

asked:

"Whose child is it?"

The emperor's voice carried an irresistible majesty.

Aunt Rou had stayed by the empress's side for many, many years, and was very familiar with the emperor, but because of this familiarity, she understood even more how terrifying the emperor was.

She didn't dare to look at the emperor on the dragon chair, but looked at the crown prince and His Highness Six who were kneeling in front of them.

She was actually a little confused,

Chess pieces, after all, are chess pieces, on the chessboard, but unable to see through the overall situation.

However, the killer who appeared suddenly made her understand one thing, that is, the matter did not proceed as she and the prince expected.

She bit her lip.

perhaps,

When she was here, she realized more and more what kind of regret and mistake it was that she didn't die in the wing room before.

Because she didn't know at all what she should say at this time, and in which direction to say it.

"The child was brought by the slave."

Aunt Rou replied.

The ministers present looked at each other in blank dismay.

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 Dazong is collecting has been checked by the servant. It contains the personal jade pendant of His Highness the Crown Prince and many belongings from the Eastern Palace."

Zhao Jiulang stepped out, looked at Aunt Rou, and asked:

"How do you explain this?"

Rou Gu said: "This servant has seen Mr. Zaifu."

Zhao Jiulang looked calm.

Rou Gu continued: "Many of the wives of the grown-ups' families here have seen the servants before. The servants once served by the side of Empress Daxing, and it is normal that there are objects from the Eastern Palace around them."

"oh?"

"The maidservant originally guarded the mausoleum of Empress Daxing, but later felt lonely, so she adopted a child from the people and raised it by her side as sustenance."

"oh?"

Zhao Jiulang looked at Da Zongzheng who was kneeling there,

road:

"Da Zongzheng, you once said that this woman told you that her child is the prince's flesh and blood. Now..."

perhaps,

Above the main hall, more than half of the people are dizzy now.

There are still a small half of them who are worried.

The most relaxed, the most thoughtful, and the most relaxed is Ji Chengjue.

When he made the right bet on who Rou Gu would stand by and dig a hole for, he had already won.

Of course, there is a premise that a person must live and let her speak.

Speak, Speak,

Let's see what you can say.

Originally, in the plan of the prince and Aunt Rou, Aunt Rou and the child were the arrows that the prince sent to him on his own initiative, and they were waiting for him to shoot the arrow at the prince.

This is the scenario preset in the hall from the very beginning.

Brother Prince, he acted very well, very realistically, and the look of being lost is just right.

Of course, Xu Shi has experienced a lot of despair in the past few years, so he is naturally familiar with it.

According to their idea,

In the next,

Things will take a big turn.

Aunt Rou, will be taken to the hall.

At that time, things will be extremely troublesome.

Satisfied with his ambitions, he asked Rou Gu to fulfill her mission as a dead man of the Min family, and deal a fatal blow to the prince, who completely collapsed.

But in the eyes of the crown prince, Aunt Rou would reveal her identity as a dead member of the Min family, and then point the source of the conspiracy at herself, herself, to slander the crown prince with the remnants of the Min family.

To deceive a brother with a brother, to deceive the king with a minister, or in the hall, under the witness of the ministers, a big reversal occurred.

The one who is finished is himself.

This should have been the established process and expected result of both parties.

but,

That kneeling of mine interrupted all rhythms.

Of course, kneeling or not kneeling is just a foreshadowing, and it can also be understood as a hypocritical brother and friend, still with sinister intentions.

But why did the prince panic, because he knew that he didn't need to kneel, and he knew that as a younger brother, he would not play any hypocrisy at this time.

Therefore, the prince knew that something was wrong, and this was the reason for the prince's panic.

Because, this bureau has already started.

"This... this... that..."

In fact, Da Zongzheng had already sensed that something was wrong, and it also came from the kneeling of His Highness the Sixth Highness.

Da Zongzheng Ji Changwang is the person who holds two scripts of two families.

But in the two scripts, it is not written that His Royal Highness will suddenly kneel down and shout: "It's his!"

The most important thing is that at that time, he couldn't change his words, because the emperor asked him for evidence, and he couldn't temporarily prepare a piece of evidence that the child was really the sixth prince, and it was impossible for him to find another piece of evidence that the child was another prince. evidence.

In fact, Dazong is more supportive of the prince, and thinks that the prince can have the last laugh. With the prince's promise, he finally chose to stand on the prince's boat. Even if he is with the Liuye party, he belongs to them. people.

Aunt Rou, when she failed to commit suicide, she 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 in the harem by the empress's side for so many years is enough for her vision and gaze to quickly notice something is wrong.

So, she chose the third answer, an answer that was completely different from the first two, and she wanted to jump out, for the prince.

But Da Zongzheng fell into it.

"What are you hemming and hawing about, Ji Changwang, as Da Zongzheng, you have repeatedly covered up important matters related to the stability of the country such as the blood of the Tian family, what is your intention!

In the presence of Your Majesty,

In front of the officials,

Is there any secret you can't tell?

Or, do you want your colleagues, and even dare your Majesty, to beg you to speak up?

Ji Changwang, you are deceiving the emperor and deserve to be beheaded! "

"I……"

Maybe it was Zhao Jiulang who pressed him step by step, or maybe it was because Ji Changwang was under great pressure and had reached a certain limit under the current situation.

heart down,

Glancing 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.

Opened the mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, it was His Highness Six who asked his ministers to frame the Crown Prince in the hall!"

"Ah."

Ji Chengjue, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled.

Why choose Da Zongzheng?

It doesn't have to be reported by people from the clan's mansion. Other ministers can also walk on the road and be stopped by people in carriages or sedan chairs to call for grievances and call for Master Qingtian to make decisions for our mother and daughter.

In fact,

There are really quite a few ministers who are two-faced, have their feet on two boats, and are waiting for a price.

Ji Changwang was chosen because he was a waste.

When the grandfather's generation seized the heir apparent, it was a tragic event. The Marquis of Zhenbei came forward, and Dayan almost started a civil war. The situation was not inferior to the chaos of the princes in Chu State in the past few years.

Just like this, Ji Changwang can still survive;

To be valued by my grandfather, then to be valued by my father, and now, to be valued by myself,

This proves that

Ji Changwang looked at this person, he had to be so rich to be reassured by the three generations.

The breakthrough is not actually on Rou Gu, but on Ji Changwang!

And at this time,

A voice came from outside the Golden Palace:

"The young minister of Honghe Temple, Lu Bing, seeks an audience."

"Xuan."

Lu Bing, who was still in armor, walked into the hall, looked at His Majesty, and at the princes kneeling on the ground.

immediately,

He knelt down:

"I bow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Many ministers were surprised when they saw Lu Bing, a civil servant in armor, but then they thought of a certain rumor and realized it immediately.

It has been rumored that His Majesty has another Yamen separated from the secret spy department, responsible for monitoring the officials, and thinking about the relationship between Lu Bing and His Majesty, the result of the guess is about to come out.

Emperor Yan asked:

"Why is Lu Aiqing absent from today's court meeting?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness personally visited the door last night and reported to the minister that Ji Changwang, the most authentic relative of the clan manor, sent someone to inform him that he obtained the prince's flesh and blood from the people, which is also evidence of the prince's immorality!

His Highness the Sixth Highness is afraid that someone who is plotting against the Crown will harm the Crown Prince and the country.

And fearing that the scandal of the Tian family would hurt the face of the Tian family,

I am even more afraid that if it is really the flesh and blood of the Tian family and something bad happens,

I implore the minister to investigate this matter thoroughly!

Now the minister has found evidence of Ji Changwang's collusion in the palace, and Ji Changwang's family has been arrested by the minister and sent to prison! "

"..." Ji Chang looked.
