Xuanzheng Palace

Emperor Zhaoning was there to review the chapter, and the eunuch Feng Yi came over and whispered in Emperor Zhaoning's ear, "Your Majesty, the King of Xichang asks to see you." ”

"Shen Kuo?" Emperor Zhaoning frowned, "I didn't say that I forgot about him." ”

"Then Your Majesty ......," Feng Yi asked.

"Xuan. Emperor Zhaoning put aside the piece in his hand.

"King Xuanxi Chang~"

Shen Kuo was dressed in court clothes, neatly dressed, he lifted the hem of his clothes and made a big salute.

"See Your Majesty. ”

"No courtesy. Emperor Zhaoning raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Shen Kuo got up.

"King Xichang suddenly entered the palace, what's the matter?"

Shen Kuo said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister wants to report the crown prince to Your Majesty." Shen Kuo continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince designed to seize the military power of the ministers in Hariyah Province, and he has been imprisoning the ministers. If it weren't for the minister who found an opportunity to report to His Royal Highness King Yi, the minister would probably be imprisoned by the prince at this time. ”

"There is such a thing!" Emperor Zhaoning slapped the table and stood up, "Go and call the crown prince to me!"

......

"Oh no, Your Highness. The guards of the East Palace came in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shu was enjoying himself in the arms of the beauty, and he got dressed, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty has told you to enter the palace now. The guard said with a panicked expression.

"What!" Ye Shu suddenly woke up. "What's going on?"

"Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, suddenly entered the palace, I don't know what to say to His Majesty, His Majesty is now furious, and ordered His Royal Highness to enter the palace quickly. ”

"Shen Kuo?" Ye Shu instantly sweated, "How could he..."

"Nan-sama. The guard's salute drew Ye Shu's attention back.

"Master, what should I do, save this palace. Ye Shu hurriedly pulled Nan Xuanji.

"Your Highness doesn't need to panic, you can answer calmly, what you say that day, the temple will say. Nan Xuanji didn't panic at all, "You go down first, I have a few words to tell Your Highness." ”

"Yes, sir. The women hurriedly retreated.

"I failed to kill Shen Kuo in King Yi's Mansion, but now it's a good opportunity. Nan Xuanji said coldly.

"But now that the master has started to kill Shen Kuo, isn't the suspicion of this palace very great?" Ye Shu was full of sadness.

"Dangerous moves. The more this is the case, the more the suspicion of His Highness can be ruled out. Nan Xuanji said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Shu was puzzled.

"Everyone will think that His Highness's suspicion is very large, but His Highness's suspicion can be smaller. Nan Xuanji said, "And if you don't kill chickens and monkeys now, Your Highness's position as the crown prince may not be guaranteed." ”

"I don't understand Master's words, but I know that Ye Ji is staring at the seat of the East Palace, and since Master is sure, the Palace will be handed over to Master. Ye Shu nodded.

"Please change your clothes and enter the palace. Nan Xuanji saluted.

Ye Shu changed into a bright yellow robe, and entered the palace with the eunuchs and forbidden soldiers from the palace.

The sky above the palace was overcast, and the palace surrounded by high walls was oppressive.

Ye Shu's heart was uneasy at the moment, his hands crossed, and he kept rubbing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside. The Praetorian Guards brought Ye Shu to the Xuanzheng Palace, Ye Shu glanced at the Xuanzheng Palace, swallowed his saliva, and slowly stepped onto the steps.

Entering the Xuanzheng Palace, Ye Shu saw Emperor Zhaoning sitting above with a poor expression at a glance, he moved his gaze to the ground, did not dare to look directly at Emperor Zhaoning, and slowly stepped forward and saluted, "Erchen knocks to see the emperor." ”

"Hehe, do you remember what you did?" Emperor Zhaoning said coldly.

Ye Shu glanced at the King of Xichang on the side, and Shen Kuo was also looking at him, his eyes were calm, as if he was watching a good show. Erchen remembers. ”

"Since you remember, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Zhaoning's gaze was as plain as water, but it could scare Ye Shu into sweating and standing restlessly.

"Erchen deprived the king of Xichang of his military power at that time and put the king of Xichang under house arrest, which was purely an expedient measure. Ye Shu tried his best to calm his tone, "King Xichang intended to rebel at that time, so his sons put King Xichang under house arrest. ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is purely framed. Shen Kuo retorted.

"Father, everyone was watching at that time, and everyone knew it!"

"Does everyone know?" a voice came from outside the temple.

Ye Shu turned his head to look outside the hall, Ye Shu walked slowly from outside the hall and saluted Emperor Zhaoning on the high seat, "See my father." ”

"Yeji, what do you have to say?" Emperor Zhaoning said.

"When my father saw a man, he knew the cause and effect. "Night.

"Xuan. Emperor Zhaoning said to Feng Yi.

"Xuan~~~"

I saw a person dressed as a servant go up to the main hall, his face was a little pale, and he hurriedly knelt down after seeing Emperor Zhaoning, "See the emperor." ”

"What do you know, say!" said Emperor Zhaoning.

The servant was so frightened by Emperor Zhaoning's reprimand that he was covered in sweat, and he trembled slightly, "Yes, yes." ”

"That day... His Royal Highness King Gong, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let us drug the wine and food at the banquet, and we don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to do, but because of His Royal Highness the Prince's identity, we can only obey. Afterward... Later, I heard that something happened at the banquet, and what did I say... The king of Xichang wants to rebel... Correct... And then we don't know. ”

"King Gong made a good plan to frame his ministers for rebellion, but in fact he wanted to force his ministers to be loyal to him and assist King Gong to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. Shen Kuo said calmly.

"The son was wronged. Ye Shu hurriedly said, "In this situation, they are obviously prepared. ”

"Okay, then you can explain it to me. Emperor Zhaoning snorted coldly.

"Everyone present at that time can testify that the king of Xichang drugged at the banquet with the intention of rebellion. Even if there is this servant to testify, how do you know that it is not King Xichang and King Yi who deliberately found someone to frame their sons. Ye Shu said, "If you talk about witnesses, your sons also have them." ”

"Come up. Ye Shu said to the door.

A man dressed as a soldier walked in outside the gate of the palace, and looking at the military uniform he was wearing, there was no doubt that he was under the command of King Xichang.

"Your Majesty. The soldier saluted.

"Far away. Shen Kuo lost his voice.

King Xichang remembers. Ye Shu smiled slyly, "This Tong Yuan is your subordinate. ”

"Tong Yuan, what do you mean by telling me?" said Emperor Zhaoning.

"That day, the king of Xichang ordered his subordinates to ambush soldiers and horses outside, and his subordinates didn't know what the prince was going to do, so they could only follow the order. Later, I heard that the prince was arrested by His Royal Highness King Gong for his rebellion, and we didn't know what to do for a while, so we were captured by His Royal Highness King Gong's men. Tong Yuan said calmly.

"You!" Shen Kuo was so angry that he was speechless. He looked at Ye Shu's expression, and his heart suddenly understood. - Tong Yuan has long been bought by Ye Shu, and during this time, Ye Shu has been scheming, and he despised him.

"And the father, the officer of the Central Army can also testify, if the father does not believe it, he can call Wu Lianghe, Nan Xuanji. Ye Shu chased after him.

Emperor Zhaoning's gaze fell on Shen Kuo again.

"Father, Nan Xuanji and Wu Lianghe are all the prince's people, and their words cannot be trusted. Ye Ji hurriedly said.

"Father, since King Yi said so, and the servant is also King Yi's person, then what he said is not credible. Ye Shu smiled slightly.

"Come on, pass on Fan Bozhong. Emperor Zhaoning said to the eunuch Feng Yi.

After a while, Fan Bozhong came, and after listening to the whole story, he said to Emperor Zhaoning, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Yi said are reasonable, I think it is better to temporarily send King Xichang to the Criminal Department to detain." His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince, temporarily sent the forbidden army to guard the East Palace. You send Ju Wuba and Shang Ye to investigate the matter, and then deal with it when the matter is clear. ”

"That's a good point. Emperor Zhaoning nodded, "Let's do it." ”

"Father. Ye Ji wanted to say something, but Emperor Zhaoning interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Spread my will, let Dongbo Marquis Murong Yongxi take care of the crown prince, and send the commander of the forbidden army to watch over it together to show justice. King Xichang went down to the Criminal Department, and for the time being... Nangong Ying is in custody. "Emperor Zhaoning said.

"Father, Nangong Ying is the prince's cousin!" Ye Ji hurriedly interjected.

"Nangong Ying is the commander of the Second Division of the Iron and Blood Army, so why not do things fairly?" Emperor Zhaoning retorted.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Zhaoning intends to maintain Yeshu.

Ye Ji didn't want to say anything more, so he could only salute, "Erchen obeys the order." ”

Ye Shu also bowed, "The son obeys the order." ”

"Let's go down. "Emperor Zhaoning said.

The forbidden army took the two away, and Yeji left unwillingly. The corners of Ye Shu's mouth outlined a smile, which was terrifying.
