Chapter 521: Unstoppable
"The courtier Cheng Jinzhi greets Your Majesty. ”
Looking at the prince's sudden and sharp expression, Cheng Jinzhi tightened his cheeks indifferently, and his cold eyes swept over his face, seemingly calm as water, but his heart was already turning a thousand times.
It is precisely because of the brightly dressed but hateful face man in front of her that she has the pain of losing her son that once hurt her heart, and the struggle between life and death.
It is precisely because of him that there is now this catastrophe that has arisen out of nothing.
In countless shocked, sharp, and puzzled eyes, she shook off her distracting thoughts, straightened her back and passed by the prince, and bowed to Emperor Zhou.
And it wasn't until Cheng Jinzhi's move came out that the original silent silence in the hall was suddenly broken, and it turned as if it was exploding, causing a lot of commotion among the ministers.
Some timid people were even afraid of him, and subconsciously took a few steps back, as if Cheng Jinzhi was a "plague god" who did not grow anywhere he went, for fear that he would be affected and affected.
In the entire Taiji Palace, almost everyone did not expect that this sinner woman, who was supposed to be confined in the palace and waiting to be executed, would appear in the palace and the main hall in a grand manner in this way.
"Cheng Jinzhi, it's your ......"
After seeing the person standing in the hall, Emperor Zhou's body trembled violently, he held the armrest with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and an unbelievable light erupted in his eyes.
After hearing that Cheng Jinzhi had escaped at night and was rescued last night, he had immediately ordered someone to close the city gate and search for him throughout the city.
But in fact, in Emperor Zhou's heart, he knew that Gao Heng was difficult to give up with Cheng Jinzhi, and the value of this woman's use of him was to serve as a favorable threat, so that his son who intended to rebel would have scruples and be arrested.
Although there has been no news for a long time, but now that Gao Heng has not been escorted back to Beijing, he is more "anxious" than "angry" about Cheng Jinzhi's escape, and at the same time ordered to block the news so as not to leak the news from falling into Gao Heng's ears.
On the other hand, he is naturally more convinced that Cheng Jinzhi is absconding in fear of crime this time.
Until this woman, who should have fled to save her life, would stand in front of her with such an awe-inspiring attitude at this moment.
"Cheng Jinzhi, you are so bold! You are now guilty, your father grounded you in the palace to spare your life, you still dare to run away without permission, run to your father and shout wantonly, come on!"
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong and there will be no more accidents, the prince took the lead in reacting, and when he gave an urgent order, he just wanted Cheng Jinzhi to disappear in front of him and Emperor Zhou immediately.
Because he had a hunch that the appearance of this woman must have brought him a disaster and disaster.
"Wait!"
Seeing that the forbidden army outside the door had rushed to his eyes, Cheng Jinzhi gritted his teeth and shouted, looking at Emperor Zhou's eyes with a resolute look of death, but the whole person seemed extremely calm.
"Your Majesty, if the courtiers are really thieves, since they have escaped from the tiger's den, they will naturally go as far as they can, how can they seek their own death and do everything possible to enter the palace to face the saint?"
Then he glanced meaningfully at the crown prince beside him: "His Royal Highness the crown prince is so impatient, is he afraid that if I stand in front of the ministers and His Majesty today, if I say something that should not be said, it will shake your position as the prince?"
"You don't talk nonsense here! The third brother has committed the felony of rebellion, and now he is still on the run, who knows what your purpose is for going to great lengths to enter the palace? I think you are a ghost in your heart, and you want to be unfavorable to your father and emperor, and not to my Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Heh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is overestimating me when he says this. Cheng Jinzhi smiled indifferently and contemptuously when he heard this, "I am a powerless female streamer, and this is surrounded by the royal forbidden army with ironclad spears, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, I can fall to the ground, how dare I be unfavorable to Your Majesty?"
She said unhurriedly, and then raised her eyebrows: "It's just that since I dared to break into this hall alone today, I never thought that I could go back alive." But before that, the courtiers implore Your Majesty to think twice, give the courtiers half a pillar of incense, and let the courtiers prove to Your Majesty that above this court, who is the loyal minister and good general who is dedicated to the Lord, and who is the chaotic minister and thief who harbors evil intentions!"
When Cheng Jinzhi said the words "chaotic ministers and thieves", his eyes slowly swept over the ministers behind him, and finally he deliberately stared at him, and poked the prince with sharp eyes.
"Father, the son-in-law heard in Lishan that the third brother colluded with Nanchu to rebel, although the elder brother was heartbroken, he also knew that the matter was uncontrollable. Cheng Jinzhi entered the palace at this time, he must have wanted to play tricks to confuse his father and emperor, so as to exonerate the third brother's crime. This woman is very scheming, her father must not be deceived by her fallacies, and he should be taken into custody as soon as possible, in case she has another opportunity!"
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this woman is by no means a good type, and now King Yan has not been captured and returned to Beijing, which is enough to prove that he absconded in fear of crime, and in addition to holding the military power, Chen Fu has not returned at this time, I am afraid that it will help the suspicion of abuse, which is a great hidden danger. Cheng Jinzhi, as Princess Yan, must be the same as King Yan, and must not be easily tolerated!"
At this time, I saw that King Qi, who had been sinking like water, also stepped forward to speak to Emperor Zhou, obviously worried that the appearance of Cheng Jinzhi would have an impact on the current situation and shake Emperor Zhou's mind.
Seeing that the crown prince, King Qi and others couldn't bear to jump off the wall in a hurry, Cheng Jinzhi knew that they were thieves, and he was already a little more sure in his heart. So he fell to his knees with all sincerity, and spoke earnestly.
"In Your Majesty's mind, is there really no doubt or concern about some things that have not yet been understood? Since the courtiers dare to put life and death aside and stand here today, they naturally have full confidence in their hands that they can avenge the grievances of His Royal Highness and the entire Yanwang Mansion, and purge the traitors for this court. At that time, if Your Majesty still refuses to believe it, and wants to kill or chop, I, Cheng Jinzhi, will be at Your Majesty's disposal!"
may be because Cheng Jinzhi's words touched the sensitive barb deep in his heart, or it may be because the sonorous words of the woman in front of him and the indomitable and determined look in his eyes are vivid.
Emperor Zhou took a deep breath, his eyes turned slightly, and his eyes looked deep and misty when he looked at Cheng Jinzhi, and there was a hint of wavering between his eyebrows.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Cen Feng was silent among the ministers, and he stepped forward calmly, bowing to Emperor Zhou and speaking.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Princess Yan dares to risk death to break into the palace alone today, with the heart of death, it must not be as simple as playing tricks. King Yan's rebellion seems to be conclusive evidence on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, there are many unreasonable points. Now that His Majesty and the ministers are present, it is better to give the princess a chance to see how she argues. If, in the end, His Majesty feels that she is just talking gibberish to confuse the public, it is not too late to deal with it. ”
