Chapter 507: Under the Nest
Cheng Jinzhi will never forget that cloudy and cloudy day.
When the royal guards holding the orders of Emperor Zhou rushed into the gate of King Yan in a menacing manner, and found out from Gao Heng's study that he and Nan Chu had colluded with each other and wrote letters containing the content of rebellion......
For a moment, she thought she was just having a nightmare that she would wake up to.
Of course, she didn't believe that Gao Heng would really collude with Nan Chu and seize the throne by plotting to usurp the throne for thousands of years.
It also suddenly occurred to me that the "thieves" who broke into the palace at night that night and had unknown identities were not here to steal anything at all, but just to put down these high-sounding ridiculous "criminal evidence".
It turned out that the word "rebellion" on the two pieces of paper had nothing to do with the prince, but wanted to drag the entire Yanwang Mansion into the abyss.
is even more amazed, Nan Chu, who has been hidden very deeply these days, and even helped in times of crisis, is a time bomb that has been brewing for a long time by Gao Heng's side.
It may not explode immediately, but when the hour comes, it will blow you to pieces.
Everything, perhaps from the moment Princess Yuanxi married into the palace, was already a long-planned earth-shattering conspiracy.
Even though she can't be sure whether this woman is also the same as this **evil person, she can be sure that Yuan Peng, who is always hidden in front of people and cannot be easily guessed, must have already been in a nest with the prince snake and rat.
She could even guess that the reason why Nan Chu was willing to take the risk of taking the name of rebellion and pulling Gao Heng into the water was mostly related to the prince's life experience.
If what is flowing in the crown prince's body is really the blood of the king of Chu, then when he sits on the throne without knowing it, this great Zhou country will naturally become the world of Southern Chu in the future.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jinzhi only felt a chill all over his body, and the heart in his chest was even more cold to the bone because of deep indignation.
This emperor, who has always been high above and always loyal to himself, still did not choose to believe in his son after all, but easily listened to the words of others who were pale and weak after a few clear words.
His unshakable throne and inviolable imperial power in his hands are always above everything in this world.
Including in the emperor's house, the pitifully shallow and insignificant family affection.
As the so-called "evidence of crime" surfaced, soon, a holy decree came from the palace ordering the entire Yanwang Mansion to be blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the palace, and no one was allowed to have contact with the people in the palace.
Those who violate the order will be killed!
Cheng Jinzhi was worried about Concubine Hui, who had nothing to rely on in the palace, but he was even more worried about Gao Heng, who was still on his way back to Beijing and might not know anything about this catastrophe and just wanted to come back to meet him.
She knew very well that the reason why Emperor Zhou did not deal with the people in the palace now was to wait for him to fall into the net, and because he was afraid of the forces in his hands that were enough to overturn the capital.
However, now that he has become the target of public criticism and is embattled, Cheng Jinzhi only hopes that he will not come back and go as far as possible.
It's just that she seems to understand that even if someone outside tells Gao Heng about the situation in the court at this moment, he will not choose to escape, and will hurry up and rush back desperately.
Even if what he is about to face is a sea of swords and fires that will die for a lifetime.
Of course, Cheng Jinzhi will not give in. Whether it is Gao Heng or the Yanwang Mansion at her feet, even if she can't protect herself in the end, she is bound to protect it to the end.
"How could it be like this? How could His Highness collude with Nan Chu to rebel, this is obviously a frame-up and a great slander!"
"Yes, now His Royal Highness has not returned to Beijing, and he may not know that something has happened to the palace, if he returns to the capital, won't he be in the mouth of a tiger?"
"Alas, you are still in the mood to worry about the master, we are all from the Yan Wangfu, if Your Majesty Long Yan is angry, you will really be punished for the crime of treason, you and I will not escape death. ”
“……”
Seeing that the royal guards surrounded the palace, the Yan Palace's mansion was full of panic, everyone was in danger, and the air was filled with the grim atmosphere of danger like morning dew.
Treading the snow and looking for plum was even more worried, and he paced back and forth around Cheng Jinzhi in a panic, sighing, and was also angry about it.
It's just that Gao Heng had a life-saving grace for them at the beginning, but at this moment, he is more worried about his master than his own safety.
"His Royal Highness was worried that the crown prince would be unfavorable to the Yan Palace, so he sent his subordinates to stay in the capital to protect the princess. But I didn't expect that this time, it would involve Nanchu to treat such a serious crime as His Highness's intention to rebel. ”
Shen Jun stood in front of the window with a solemn expression, staring at the heavily guarded Praetorian Guards not far away, and there was a heavy haze in his eyes.
"If someone is determined to harm us, how can we easily avoid it? This day will come sooner or later. ”
Cheng Jinzhi smiled coldly when he heard this, and after the huge shock and blow, he was no longer sad and angry, nor anxious, and the whole person began to become calm and calm.
Although he knew that Gao Heng would definitely rush back to rescue him no matter what, he would not hold the power of the army and make any rebellious moves.
But if he really waits for him to come back, Emperor Zhou will definitely immediately seize his military power and control him in order to prevent him from rebelling.
By that time, it was already too late.
Or at this time, Emperor Zhou had already sent a large army to intercept him, and he was so mired that he had no way to refute it.
In the absence of any direct evidence to prove his innocence, the only way is to let Emperor Zhou know the indelible blood relationship between the crown prince and Nanchu.
Thinking of this, I saw Cheng Jinzhi's pupils tighten, and he suddenly stood up from the chair and walked briskly towards the door.
"I want to see Your Majesty!"
"What? See Your Majesty?"
The leader of this Praetorian Guard is Lin Kang's subordinate, and he naturally serves the prince. Hearing this, he glanced at Cheng Jinzhi with contempt, and his tone was full of mockery.
"Princess Yan, His Royal Highness King Yan has committed a felony of treason, the evidence is conclusive, as his family, you naturally can't escape the involvement, Your Majesty will not beat you into the Nine Hidden Platforms It is already a dragon's grace, you can take advantage of the few days to be seen, cherish it." When His Royal Highness King Yan comes back, maybe this day, I'm afraid I won't see it again. ”
As he spoke, he glanced up at the cloudy sky overhead, a sinister smile on his lips.
"Oh, this thick cloud covers the sun, where does the light come from?"
Cheng Jinzhi snorted coldly, knowing that most of this person was used by the prince, and he couldn't wait for the Yanwang Mansion to be destroyed as soon as possible, so he naturally no longer had expectations in his heart, but his face was cold and the corners of his lips were lightly raised.
"Now that the position of the court is not right, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, our Majesty's eyes are indeed the same as today's opaque sky, black and white, and the old eyes are dizzy. ”
